Chapter 587
Chapter 587: Chapter 522: A Hundred Million Dollar Deal Chapter 587: Chapter 522: A Hundred Million Dollar Deal “This is ‘Spice,’ which seems to be a recently developed item by Starshine City.
If you have any, Sir, our Chamber of Commerce will buy it without any limit.”
Even here at the Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce branch in the suburban area of the Suns’ settlement, that manager with a beauty mark at the corner of her mouth could accurately identify the origin of the ‘Spice.’
It is evident that the Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce, the leading commerce association in Baixing State that stretches across cities, has a profound foundation.
Wearing the title of number one in Baixing State brings many conveniences and benefits to the Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce.
Thinking about what to sell or buy, this chamber of commerce comes to mind first, continuously vacuuming up various resources.
Once trading volume increases, even if profits are pushed lower, the income can still far exceed that of other chambers of commerce.
Moreover, profits might not be that low after all!
“Does your chamber of commerce buy this kind of ‘rough’ product?”
Tao Yu then took out a rough sample.
Still, it was this manager, who seemed somewhat surprised at the sample.
She then pinched it with her fingers, rubbed it a bit, and a faint blue glow emerged in her eyes.
She also brought it to her nose and sniffed.
“This indeed seems to be a ‘rough’ product.
It appears that the ‘Spice’ is extracted from this, with very peculiar impurities that seem to be some kind of insect excretion?
The refinement ratio is likely between ten to one and twelve to one, but specialized techniques are needed…”
Following that, the beautiful manager, with a somewhat unusual expression on her face, said to Tao Yu,
“Did you find a ‘Spice’ mine, Sir?
I wonder how much you have and what the yield is.”
From the fluctuating frequency of her breathing, one could tell that the manager had seemingly sensed something, appearing somewhat excited.
This could be a huge deal!
“Do you have that kind of authority?”
Tao Yu also asked very directly.
He acknowledged that the manager had good qualities and a good appraisal method.
But no matter what, this was just a branch in the suburbs, and even when buying Skills in the past, some had to be temporarily called in from other places.
“If the amount is not much…”
“A business deal worth hundreds of millions.”
Tao Yu’s words brought a blush to the manager’s pretty face, but she still covertly glanced at Treya next to her and then lowered her head to ponder for a moment before sighing.
“This indeed exceeds my authority.
However, I, Xiao Hong, will apply for a representative to come over for Sir.
May I have the honor to add a contact method with you, Sir, to facilitate future communication?”
…
With a swoosh~
Accompanied by the sound of cutting through the air, Tao Yu saw a figure who was speeding on a sliding board and landed on the second-floor balcony from the window.
Pale-faced and beardless, his features were above average, and his specific age was indiscernible.
He wore a well-fitted Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce uniform.
“I am Chu Men, head of the purchasing department of the chamber, and I apologize for the haste in my arrival, which may seem presumptuous.
Please excuse me, esteemed guest.”
Tao Yu sized up Chu Men, feeling a slight sense of threat from the man.
Certainly not just an ordinary World Breaker!
He might not be at Catastrophe Level yet, but his strength was likely no less than that of Teng Lianghong!
No wonder he belongs to such a super chamber of commerce that spans cities—the strength of a purchasing department head is this exceptional.
Moreover, he arrived so promptly, likely indicating he’s not the ‘only person in charge.’
Such ability to mobilize hundreds of millions of Yuan Force so quickly shows that the Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce’s liquid asset reserves are extremely impressive.
Perhaps the wealthy lady could also pull out this much money in one go, but she is responsible for the entire New Development Zone, and it’s possible that such an expenditure in one shot could significantly impact the liquidity of the New Development Zone!
But for the Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce, they just flew over right after getting in touch.
This reveals that in terms of both hard and soft power, they are indeed unfathomable.
Their overall strength far surpasses that of the Suns’.
No wonder they are a behemoth that dwarfs the entirety of Starshine Company…
“Mr.
Chu, you flatter me.
In addition to Spice in this transaction, I also wish to commission your chamber of commerce to find some suitable extraction methods to increase the yield.”
Tao Yu also appeared very polite.
Chu Men was already aware of the general situation before he came.
He wasn’t at all surprised by Tao Yu’s statement.
Their chamber deals with too many businesses, having encountered similar situations many times, and possesses extensive experience.
“That’s naturally no problem.
However, this Spice has some unique biological attributes.
Designing a purification method solely for it might be somewhat complex, and it could take quite some time, not to mention the cost won’t be low—this does not include the production cost of subsequent equipment.”
Saying this, he paused and then continued,
“However, if Sir has relevant mining resources and is willing to sell to the chamber of commerce first in the future, I can decide to waive this design fee, and the equipment can be sold at cost.”
“I can prioritize selling the parts I can control to your chamber of commerce; there’s nothing wrong with that, but if your chamber of commerce drives down the price, wouldn’t I be at a loss?”
Tao Yu wasn’t opposed to the idea.
Selling to the wealthy lady is a sale, and so is selling to the Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce.
But if both offer the same price, naturally it would be better to sell directly to the wealthy lady.
Sometimes, the more scarce items in demand you have, the more weight you can throw around.
“`
And not to mention the Suns, the entire output of Yuan Force from the Starshine Company was actually limited.@@novelbin@@
In the New Development Zone, with a huge influx of Yuan Force invested, the Suns’ reserve of liquid Yuan Force would probably also rapidly diminish.
After all, Yuan Force was not something that could be printed; its value fluctuated and had its own self-regulating mechanism.
Once Starshine City experienced a Yuan Force famine, it would easily lead to deflation, making it difficult to maintain prices.
“If the price is at the normal purchasing rate, I can promise that our chambers’ price will be five percent higher than other chambers,” said Chu Men, without any hesitation, in a rather domineering tone.
Without a fixed price, just a “five percent higher” offer!
Of course, to avoid any collusion, he did specify “normal purchasing prices.”
The Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce was savvy, and it could easily detect any behavior that insulted their intelligence.
Tao Yu didn’t indulge them either, and made contact on the spot with the young rich woman,
“I’m currently selling spice inventory at the Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce, and they’ve said they’ll always give a price five percent higher than other chambers.”
It wasn’t long before the young rich woman sent a reply,
“That’s quite sincere.
You can handle your part directly.
If you want me to give a buyback price, I can offer up to one thousand four for every fifty grams.”
Fifty grams was a daily dosage for one person, and an insignificant improvement, but the buyback price could reach one thousand four.
This was also a price that didn’t specifically aim to undercut the Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce, but upon hearing it, the corner of Chu Men’s mouth twitched.
Despite the opposition’s young voice, their appraisal was rather precise.
But he still nodded and said,
“We can offer a unit price of one thousand five.”
“What about the rough goods?
Will your chamber purchase it?
If the price is right, I’ll sell it all at once.”
Tao Yu hoped to sell off the unrefined spices as well in a bundle deal to get enough money.
“We can purchase this time around, and we can study it well, but refining itself is time-consuming and laborious, so for the price…
one-twentieth,” said Chu Men, knowing Tao Yu’s intention and not objecting, as he was also interested in maintaining a long-term business relationship.
For the Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce, they pursued a diversity of product categories, and to some extent, they could even accept a loss in the first business transaction.
“Deal!”
Tao Yu revealed a slight smile, satisfied that he didn’t have to sell off all the spoils of war.
The price of the spices was already enough.
Now backed by the reputation of the Suns family, the Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce itself valued credibility.
A transaction worth hundreds of millions was significant and could even influence the short-term liquidity in the New Development Zone.
But at least the current scale of this deal wasn’t enough to tempt them into any foul play, not to mention the Suns had Catastrophe Level assets, which would affect the chamber’s reputation; it was completely not worth it!
Besides, long-term cooperation was mutually beneficial.
After confirming his identity again and even completing a connection with the Suns, which earned the backing of the young rich woman,
Chu Men then paid Tao Yu a fifty million Yuan Force deposit in advance, and upon seeing Tao Yu taking out scrolls one by one from the Corpse Hiding Mirror, he was quite surprised.
“You carry it directly on you?” he questioned.
He had thought Tao Yu was just testing the waters, and it was quite rare for someone to carry goods worth hundreds of millions directly on their person to sell.
Was he that bold?!
If one could obtain a return of hundreds of millions by killing someone, even a World Breaker would certainly face a sneak attack.
Even with Chu Men’s own strength, if others knew, he too might be clubbed from behind!
“People wouldn’t expect it,” Tao Yu replied nonchalantly as he made a Hand Seal and released one of the scrolls, taking out a portion of the spice.
“Inspect the goods first.
Then, do you want me to open the rest here, or shall I hand over the scrolls to you so you can find a place to do it yourself?”
Upon observing Tao Yu’s method of retrieval of goods, Chu Men’s interest was piqued; he picked up the Sealing Scroll, weighed it, and then inserted it into his own storage device to check for spatial interference.
Then his eyes lit up as he said,
“Mr.
Tao, I’m intrigued by this one-time storage method.
How much would it cost?”
A Sealing Skill with minimal spatial disturbance that could be inserted into other Space Equipment was a true asset for transport!
“These scrolls are made from plant fragments unique to a certain region, with limited production.
As for cost, using them myself incurs no cost, but selling them depends on the quantity,” Tao Yu explained.
The price was ultimately determined by production capacity and demand, much like how one might talk about the cost of an aircraft carrier.
But in reality, if you exceed the production capacity, no amount of money can keep the cost of a single vessel from skyrocketing.
The same was true for Sealing Scrolls.
He had enough for personal use, and the Shinobi Village could manage small-scale use.
However, large-scale production was not sustainable.
It was like producing hydrogen gas via the reaction of metals and acid in a laboratory scenario, but on an industrial scale, that approach would result in significant losses.
Chu Men, being from the Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce, immediately understood the implication in Tao Yu’s words and couldn’t help feeling a bit regretful.
“Well, I hope there will be other opportunities for cooperation.
This is our chamber’s VIP card; Mr.
Tao, you can seek some everyday assistance at our branches in the future…”
Young and a potential stock!
Worth investing in…
