They Can't Understand a Damn Word, So How Are We Supposed to Negotiate?
The news that the Demonic Sect had undertaken part of the construction of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce in the Evil Shadow Continent for the Vast Heaven Holy Land, and that they would handle all aspects including labor, materials, and transportation, spread like wildfire!
Good heavens, the entire Four Continents were stunned the moment this news broke!
Everyone's first reaction was, "Has Tantai Jing gone mad this time? Tell me, what the hell is your Demonic Sect aiming for?"
Have you Tantai Jing, been infected by Yuan Ying? Isn't your flattery a little too deliberate?
Could you please tone it down a bit when you're fawning over her?
But before anyone could say anything more, Martial Emperor City announced that it had taken on part of the construction work for the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce.
Moreover, the conditions are exactly the same as those of the Demonic Sect... Martial Emperor City will take care of everything, including labor, materials, transportation, and even all the maintenance work for the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce!
Damn, this news has left the entire Four Continents completely dumbfounded... If you said Tantai Jing had gone mad, that would be one thing, but Zheng Yu has gone mad too?
Just as this news was spreading like wildfire, Chu Xinghe, who was in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, was completely dumbfounded!
Looking at Ma Liang and Qin Xiangqian, Chu Xinghe was almost offline!
Listen to what these two bastards are saying! Are they even speaking human language?!
What? Senior Brother Xinghe's move was just too brilliant...
What do you mean, Senior Brother Xinghe's plans are flawless...?
Is it possible that I, Senior Brother Xinghe, was the last one to know about this?
Not only Ma Liang and Qin Xiangqian, but even the Grand Elder has arrived with the heads of all the palaces...
Good heavens, lately, the Grand Elder has been quite puzzled by Xinghe's sudden urge to build such a luxurious Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce...
The Grand Elder knew that Xinghe wasn't the type to be driven by vanity or extravagance, so what exactly was Xinghe's purpose in doing all this?
Now the Grand Elder truly understands...
You think Xinghe is being extravagant? Actually, Xinghe is fishing, and with this Xinghe fishing method, you don't even need to use a fishing rod. The fish jump out of the water crying and begging to be caught!
Tantai Jing's only chance to expand the Demonic Sect's demonic business into the Evil Shadow Continent is to cooperate with the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
Therefore, no matter how extravagant Xinghe's requirements for the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce are, the Demonic Sect will do everything in its power to build it for the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
Nothing in this world is more secure than a bond of shared interests.
The Grand Elder commented that Xinghe really screwed over Tantai Jing this time, and Tantai Jing was practically begging to be screwed over the whole time!
Chu Xinghe remained indifferent to what the Grand Elder had said about framing Tantai Jing.
Just as Chu Xinghe remained calm, Ma Liang spoke up, "Elder... we didn't trick Tantai Jing, in fact, he should thank us... Elder, please take a look!"
As Ma Liang spoke, he took out a memory crystal. When the memory crystal was opened, Tantai Jing's image appeared inside.
"Brother Xinghe, thank you!"
Tantai Jing thanked Chu Xinghe sincerely...
Chu Xinghe: "..."
At this moment, Chu Xinghe was completely speechless... What the hell Tantai Jing? You guys are messing with me!
However, Chu Xinghe said that this round was not over yet. Although those two bastards Tantai Jing and Zheng Yu, took away a lot of the construction work of Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce without a word, there is still a large number of Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce of Commerce constructions in our own hands.
I must ensure that the construction of this batch of Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce is firmly in my own hands.
Just as Chu Xinghe was about to speak up and declare that the construction of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce should absolutely not be handed over to anyone else,
Senior Brother Shen Chun suddenly popped out from who-knows-where again!
"Reporting to the Grand Elder, the Wolf King of the Demon Star Continent, along with the clan leaders of all races from the Demon Star Continent, the sect leaders of all major sects from the Blazing Sun Continent, and the clans of all major clans from the Spirit Beast Continent, request an audience!"
Upon hearing this news, the Grand Elder was slightly taken aback. However, with so many important figures present, the Grand Elder naturally wouldn't be negligent and immediately instructed Shen Chun to invite everyone into the Vast Heaven Holy Land!
What the heck? Why are so many big shots showing up at Vast Heaven Holy Land right away?!
With the news that the Demonic Sect and Martial Emperor City had suddenly agreed to take on the entire construction of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce —including materials, transportation, and everything else—the various powerful figures were bewildered, but they weren't fools after all...
The big shots know better than anyone how shrewd Tantai Jing and Zheng Yu are. Tell me, what are they after for doing these things for no reason?
Therefore, industry leaders from all sides immediately conducted analysis and research!
Wow, after analysis and research, the bigwigs from all sides instantly understood the key to this!
Damn it... we were just laughing at them... and now we're the laughingstock!
You think these two companies lost money by spending so much? Actually, they made a killing.
Why did Chu Xinghe build such an extravagant Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce?
Have the Demonic Sect and Martial Emperor City gone mad? Why would they help the Vast Heaven Holy Land build the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce for no reason?
The world is bustling with activity, all for the sake of profit!
Who the hell would do something like this if there wasn't enough profit involved...?
Every time you think Chu Xinghe about to do something reckless, he always manages to find a way to make a killing.
This time, Chu Xinghe, the so-called ultra-luxury version of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, had absolutely no intention of spending a single penny...
He planned to have all the major powers in the Three Continents help him build it...
What the hell? Do you think Chu Xinghe's actions count as scheming against the entire Three Continents?
Look at how beaming Tantai Jing was when he left Vast Heaven Holy Land!
In this situation, do you think Tantai Jing was taken advantage of?
If the benefits are large enough, who would care whether they are being schemed against?
You think Chu Xinghe is trying to scheme against you, right...? You could have just refused... Do you call something that's mutually beneficial scheming?
If such calculations exist, then please give me more!
The market in the Evil Shadow Continent isn't just for the Demonic Sect and Martial Emperor City; various other factions also want to get a foothold in it.
Do you think only Tantai Jing spent countless resources and suffered repeated failures in the Evil Shadow Continent?
Actually, they're all pretty much the same; they're all racking their brains to open up the market in the Evil Shadow Continent.
And now, they've finally found their opportunity...
Therefore, at the very first moment, the bigwigs from all Three Continents arrived at the Vast Heaven Holy Land without prior arrangement...
Inside the Haotian Grand Hall, as the powerful figures from all Three Continents entered, Chu Xinghe gritted his teeth and declared, "I haven't lost this round yet!"
I still have a chance to mess things up!
As long as I refuse to hand over the remaining construction work of Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce to them, I will still have the opportunity to suffer losses!
Just as Chu Xinghe made up his mind, the Ming Clan Head spoke first, "Elder, to be honest, our Ming Clan also wishes to... undertake some construction tasks for the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce. We humbly request that the Elder give us a chance!"
Upon hearing the words of the Ming Clan Head, the other powerful figures around him also chimed in, "Me too..."
Me too!
Just as the Grand Elder was about to speak, Chu Xinghe spoke first, "Esteemed clan leaders and sect masters, regarding the remaining construction of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, our Vast Heaven Holy Land intends to undertake it ourselves and does not plan to outsource it any further!"
Chu Xinghe finished speaking in one breath. This time, Chu Xinghe declared that he hadn't used any tricks; he was simply rejecting them outright!
So you all understood, right?
That's right, the bigwigs of all the major forces understood. At this moment Chu Xinghe's words meant to them: more money is needed!
Clan Head Cui: "Xinghe... we understand the rules. How about this, on top of what we do with the Demonic Sect and Martial Emperor City, we'll also give you an extra ten percent of our profits from the Evil Shadow Continent?"
Chu Xinghe: "?"
Chu Xinghe was absolutely furious!
Are you all deaf? I didn't mean to ask for more money; I meant I refused! I refused!
"Clan Head Cui is joking. I truly have no interest in even a ten percent of the profits. Our Vast Heaven Holy Land simply wants to establish our own Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, so you may all be disappointed!"
Chu Xinghe spoke again... Chu Xinghe implied that he had made himself clear this time...
I don't want any profits from you, I'm just fucking rejecting you... rejecting you, you know?!
At this moment, all the bigwigs understood. In their ears, Chu Xinghe's words meant: 10% is too little, we need to add more money!
Wang Daoquan: "Ten percent is indeed a bit too little, so... twenty percent, our Jade Void Palace is willing to contribute twenty percent!"
Chu Xinghe: "??"
Chu Xinghe's eyes were brimming with tears... "Palace Master, are you all really unable to understand human language? Fine... I'll tell you something harsh!"
Chu Xinghe: "Palace Master is joking. It's not a matter of one or two percent..."
Xing Yushen: "That 30%?"
Chu Xinghe: "..."
Chu Xinghe was about to curse... When the hell did I say 30%?
You forced me Chu Xinghe, into this situation, so don't accuse me of speaking harshly!
"Gentlemen, regardless of the percentage, our Vast Heaven Holy Land has no intention of releasing the construction task of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, no matter the percentage, it's impossible!"
After Chu Xinghe speaking, he calmly looked at the entire audience. Hadn't he made himself clear enough?
Don't even mention 10%, 20%, or 30%! No matter what percentage, I won't agree! Do you understand now?
Seeing Chu Xinghe's resolute attitude, the many bigwigs finally understood this time!
Clan Head Ning: "Since Xinghe has put it that way, it would be beneath us to say anything more. So, how about this: all our profits from the first year in the Evil Shadow Continent will belong to the Vast Heaven Holy Land, and 30% of all profits thereafter will belong to the Vast Heaven Holy Land!"
Chu Xinghe: "..."
Chu Xinghe fell silent... That bastard Ma Liang Ma Liang started telling me how difficult business was to negotiate without me even saying a word...
Excuse me, is this what Ma Liang, Ma Liang, are calling "business difficult to negotiate"?
You call this "difficult business negotiations"?
This is really difficult to negotiate with... They don't understand human language at all... They don't even know what it means to refuse...
What the hell? Why don't I, Chu Xinghe, continue to refuse?
I chickened out, okay... If I keep refusing, they'll just raise the price... Tell me, how do you talk to a bunch of people who can't even understand human language?
So Chu Xinghe said, "I was wrong... I was wrong from the very beginning... If I had just agreed to their request from the start, they wouldn't have gone this far..."
When other people are negotiating business, they're risking their lives to secure their own interests, but you guys are risking your lives to give things away... What are you even after?
But as the saying goes... it's all about interests... You might think their conditions are outrageous, but they're not outrageous at all... Each party has to contribute a lot of resources to build the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce and also share some with the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
Before coming here, everyone had already calculated that once the market in the Evil Shadow Continent was developed, everyone would definitely make a fortune!
After all, who wouldn't want to earn more?
Seeing Xinghe regain his composure, the Grand Elder also stepped forward.
"Since Xinghe has agreed... then let's proceed accordingly..." The Grand Elder made the final decision.
The bigwigs from all sides also showed smiles on their faces.
The people from Vast Heaven Holy Land were also all smiles...
Only Chu Xinghe remained calm...
Looking at Senior Brother Xinghe, Ma Liang was filled with Ma Liang...
As expected... I, Ma Liang, still have a lot to practice!
