A Conversation with an Eternal Realm Expert
In fact, the "land leasing" they are talking about is not the same concept as traditional land leasing.
Instead, they leverage the land and capabilities of the mainland to generate profits!
"Our chamber of commerce is involved in many profitable businesses, the most important being the cultivation and management of mineral veins. I want to cultivate at least one hundred Divine Crystal veins on your continent. Can your Heavenly Dao do that?"
The cultivation of Divine Crystal veins requires land with extremely rich essence and energy, and also requires the Heavenly Dao to nourish them regularly with some Power of the Dao Source.
Lu Qing'an smiled.
The Power of the Dao Source!
Isn't that enough to make as many as you want?!
Let alone a hundred, even ten thousand wouldn't be a problem. Even if these mines didn't initially belong to them but to the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce, there's a high probability they'll eventually fall into their assets.
The Qian Household Chamber of Commerce is now helping them cultivate these mineral veins. After all, if the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce wants to cultivate these mineral veins, they first need to acquire the mineral veins and plant them in the land!
They didn't contribute a single penny!
Furthermore, once these mineral veins are planted on their continent, their continent will also receive some improvement as a result, and the longer the mineral veins are cultivated, the greater the increase in the continent's level!
This is a win-win situation!
"Raising a hundred, let alone a thousand, wouldn't be a problem!" Lu Qing'an said with a smile.
Qian Jiahe's eyes widened. "Are you sure a thousand will do?! That would require a lot of Power of the Dao Source!"
He was shocked!
Everyone knows how precious the Power of the Dao Source is for a continent!
Lu Qing'an said, "Do I need to prove anything? If I can't fulfill the contract after signing it, I'll compensate you tenfold!"
Qian Jiahe swallowed hard.
This is great news!!!
"Alright! Let's get straight to the point! We'll rent land for a thousand top-grade Divine Crystal veins! The condition is that you'll need to help cultivate them, how about that?" Qian Jiahe said earnestly.
Lu Qing'an smiled and said, "Okay."
"Good! Next is the cultivation of medicinal fields! We plan to cultivate 100,000 mu of medicinal fields for three to Seven Mysteries rare herbs on your side! Especially the Seven Mysteries medicinal fields, at least 10,000 mu! This also involves the Power of the Dao Source, do you have enough?" Qian Jiahe asked again.
Lu Qing'an laughed and said, "Ten thousand acres of Seven Mysteries Herb Fields are no problem at all."
"Are you sure?! I'm telling you, we're leasing it for a hundred million years! Not just one year!" Qian Jiahe's lips twitched.
He seriously suspected that Lu Qing'an had made a mistake.
Such collaborations typically take hundreds of millions of years to complete!
Lu Qing'an calmly said, "Do you think I'm someone who knows nothing? Rent as much as you can afford. If there are any problems, I'll handle them!"
Qian Jiahe frowned and hesitated.
Can it really be done?!
"Then if I rent 200,000 mu of Seven Mysteries Medicinal Herbs fields, can you supply them?" His tone was full of probing.
Lu Qing'an nodded calmly.
"Alright! Then let's have 200,000 mu of Seven Mysteries Medicinal Herb Fields!!!" Qian Jiahe made the decision instantly.
"Further training of Demon Beast will require the forest..."
Qian Jiahe and Lu Qing'an talked about many businesses that their Qian Household Chamber of Commerce could operate, covering almost all kinds of things related to cultivation.
Moreover, many of these things are related to the Power of the Dao Source!
Because the power of the Heavenly Dao to operate the continent requires the Power of the Dao Source!
Lu Qing'an guaranteed in one go that he could absolutely meet the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce's requirements, and if he couldn't, he would compensate tenfold!
After discussing the details of the collaboration, Qian Jiahe was starting to breathe heavily.
Good heavens!
This is the first time we've discussed such an amazing collaboration!!
Can this Eternal Night Continent truly achieve this?!
If they could truly achieve this, the profits their Qian Household Chamber of Commerce would earn in this Eternal Night Continent would rival those earned by establishing a chamber of commerce in the Eight Heavens Continent!!!
Is this really something that the Seven Heavens Continent could accomplish?!
"Alright, now that we've discussed the details of the cooperation, let's talk about the rent you're willing to pay. Just give me a figure based on the rent you normally pay when cooperating with other Seven Heavens Continent projects, and if I'm satisfied, we can sign a contract right now," Lu Qing'an said.
Qian Jiahe took a deep breath, and at this moment he began to hesitate.
Because this number is a bit scary!
He's having a hard time coming up with that much money!
At first, he thought he would just open a branch and make a small investment in the Seven Heavens Continent; he was able to make up his mind.
Now that the negotiations are over, he realizes that the contract he negotiated has completely exceeded his control!
It's like opening a branch on the Eight Heavens Continent!!!
"Um, I'm having a hard time setting a price. How about you wait a moment while I check with my superiors?" Qian Jiahe smiled awkwardly.
Lu Qing'an said, "You were talking so enthusiastically just now, I thought you were going to finalize the deal."
He was speechless.
Qian Jiahe was even more embarrassed, scratching his head. "It won't take long! It'll be quick!"
"Then let's hurry up," Lu Qing'an said.
"Okay! Okay!"
Qian Jiahe invited Lu Qing'an to have tea there, while he went to the next room to quickly contact the president of the Qian Household headquarters, which was located in the Eight Heavens Continent.
About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he returned.
"Sorry to keep you waiting! Ahem, I've contacted a big shot in our headquarters, and we can offer this amount!" Qian Jiahe held up one hand.
"I don't want Divine Crystal or anything else; it would be best to pay the rent with Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone," Lu Qing'an advised.
"The Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone? This... I'll have to ask again?" Qian Jiahe was embarrassed again.
"Go," Lu Qing'an said.
It's better to talk to the people over there yourself.
Qian Jiahe returned quickly this time, and he was carrying the precious jade pendant that Dan Yun had contacted with Li Wensong about last time.
"You should talk to our president in person," Qian Jiahe said with a smile.
Lu Qing'an said, "It should have been done long ago."
After Qian Jiahe channeled Power of the Dao Source into the treasure, a handsome, middle-aged man with black hair appeared in front of Lu Qing'an.
Aside from being handsome, this person had absolutely nothing special about him; he looked remarkably ordinary!
He's just like an ordinary person!
Lu Qing'an and Lu Qing'an began to sizing each other up.
"Fellow Daoist, I am Qian Xiuzhu, the head of the Qian Household."
"Lu Qing'an." Lu Qing'an confirmed that the other party was an Eternal Realm expert, and at this moment he smiled with great interest, his tone very calm.
This is the Eternal Realm.
I've finally seen the Eternal Realm.
Seeing Lu Qing'an's calm expression and composed demeanor, Qian Xiuzhu smiled and nodded, "I have no objection to the cooperation that Xiao Qian just discussed with you. You mentioned using Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone to settle the rent, since Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone are quite rare. How about this: every ten years, we'll offer ten million Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone. What do you think?"
Lu Qing'an pretended to be deep in thought, but in reality, he had already accepted the number.
For him, this was practically the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone of a white-collar worker!
But he needs to add some conditions!
"Okay, I can accept this amount. Consider it a gesture of friendship. However, I have one condition," Lu Qing'an said.
"Go ahead," Qian Xiuzhu said calmly.
"I'm taking one hundred items from your chamber of commerce today. Anything I see, I can take," Lu Qing'an said.
Upon hearing this, Qian Xiuzhu decisively smiled and said, "Alright! It's a deal!"
Even if you sold the entire Qian Household Chamber of Commerce branch there, it wouldn't be worth more than 300 million Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone!
They can still make a profit!
Not to mention that they only took a hundred items!
Lu Qing'an smiled inwardly when he saw how easily and casually the other party agreed.
It seems everyone feels they've gotten a good deal.
Then we'll see who earns more in the end.
