Bao'er, despite being accustomed to acting boldly, could not help clicking his tongue slightly when he heard that figure.
"Two thousand taels of gold—that's two hundred thousand silver dollars... Isn't that a bit too expensive?"
"There's no bargaining over this," Feng Jun replied with a smile. "I said from the start that my prices were non-negotiable."
Because he had an excellent impression of the other party, he patiently explained. This was also the basic attitude one ought to have in business. "Besides, I said gold. Silver dollars are not accepted. If you pay with natural treasures, I can give you a twenty percent discount."
He accepted gold in order to reduce his use of Blue Star Realm's gold. He had even considered transporting the gold here back to Blue Star.
That was right. Stopping the outflow of gold was merely the first step. If possible, he was willing to help Xia Nation increase its gold reserves.
Though humble, one must never forget concern for one's country. Every Xia person should possess such awareness, shouldn't they?
What he most wanted to trade for, however, was natural treasures. These treasures could rapidly strengthen his cultivation. If he could advance into the Innate Realm, then even without seeking out an immortal cultivation method, he might still become an immortal.
Moreover, if these treasures could be brought to the Blue Star Realm, their value would be even more immeasurable.
The moment Bao'er heard that natural treasures qualified for a twenty percent discount, he perked up. "What kinds of natural treasures? How do you determine their value?"
"They definitely can't be valued according to auction prices," Feng Jun replied with a smile. "Auctions are easily manipulated. I don't need to emphasize that fact, do I?"
After all, he came from an age of information explosion.
