The value of Withered Frost Grass, in this era, was only known to Qin Yichen. And this time, even with such a large collection, the price had only doubled. Those people were most likely also worried that if the price was too high, it would not sell.
[It seems like this matter must also be discussed with him…] A thoughtful look flashed in Qin Yichen’s eyes.
The Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty was definitely the region with the most Withered Frost Grass, and he must firmly grasp this region in his own hands.
“Continue collecting, even if the price increases further. Tell Shu Ruyan to send someone to the Heavenly Unicorn Business Alliance and say that I, Qin Yichen, have a deal I want to make with them.”
Of course, he could not directly seek an audience with Lu Heze. Contacting the Heavenly Unicorn Business Alliance was, in fact, contacting the Heavenly Unicorn Royal Family.
,,,
In the Heavenly Unicorn Royal Palace, Lu Heze, Lu Heshang, and several Royal Family Guest Officers were discussing matters in the great hall.
“The Du Family is really going too far! They even dare to snatch our Royal Family’s business! What won’t they dare do now!?”
Lu Heshang was jumping up and down, cursing incessantly.
From the first day Du Junxiong returned, the Du Family had started making big moves, first by recruiting strong experts and Alchemy Masters. Then, the Du Family wanted to open an auction house!
Auction houses were undoubtedly the most profitable and low-cost business. In the Royal City, there was only one auction house, belonging to the Heavenly Unicorn Business Alliance.
This was also one of the main sources of ine for the Heavenly Unicorn Business Alliance.
Now, the Du Family doing this was undoubtedly challenging the authority of the Royal Family.
Ironically, the Royal Family could not do anything about the Du Family right now!
“Your Majesty, if we allow the Du Family to develop like this, it will be disastrous… We must take action!”
A Royal Family Guest Officer suggested. Allowing the Du Family to continue like this would lead to a slow death for the Royal Family. Once Du Junxiong married the Princess and made his move, he might be able to replace the Royal Family.
*Haaaaaa…* Lu Heze sighed, his brows deeply furrowed into a ‘几’ shape. How could he possibly not know? But if they took action, it might give the Du Family an excuse to make their move even earlier. Most likely, the net was already set outside, just waiting for them to fall into it!
Just as they were all at a loss, one of Lu Heshang’s confidants hurried in, bowed, and then reported to Lu Heshang, “Chairman, the Chairman of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of merce, has sent a message saying that Qin Yichen from their Business Alliance wants to cooperate with our Business Alliance to make a deal…”
“Soaring Joy Chamber Of merce, Qin Yichen?” Originally, Lu Heshang did not pay much attention to this news. However, when he heard Qin Yichen’s name, his eyes immediately lit up and he stood up from his seat.
Of course, the reason Qin Yichen was given such importance was partly due to his performance at the Alchemy petition, but mainly because Qin Yichen dared to challenge Du Junxiong!
Given the current situation, Qin Yichen should be someone standing on the same side as them.
“I’ll take my leave first!” Lu Heshang left these words and hurriedly departed.
An hour later, a luxurious carriage arrived at the Soaring Joy Chamber Of merce. Then, a middle-aged man wearing luxurious robes alighted from the carriage. Judging by his attire, he clearly held a high position in the Heavenly Unicorn Business Alliance.
“Young Master Qin, Chairman Lu would like to invite you for a detailed discussion.” This middle-aged man spoke very politely to Qin Yichen, not looking down on the young man despite his youth.
Qin Yichen’s name had already spread throughout the entire country. Subsequently, Qin Yichen boarded the carriage, heading towards the destination… the Royal Palace!
As the Royal Family’s Business Alliance, its headquarters was naturally set in the Royal Palace.
At this time, in the Business Alliance Hall, Lu Heshang sat in the chief seat, with more than ten people sitting on both sides below him. These people were not of simple status; any one of them could make the business world of the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty tremble with a stomp of their foot.
As Qin Yichen walked into the hall, the gazes of the people inside turned towards him with curiosity.
After all, he was too young. Although they had heard about him before, seeing him in person still made them marvel at his acplishments.
Most importantly, they understood that the young man before them was not only talented but also had courage they could not match.
Facing these gazes, Qin Yichen gave a slight bow to Lu Heshang, which was neither servile nor arrogant.
“Haha, you’re truly a young hero!” Seeing Qin Yichen did not show a trace of panic, Lu Heshang laughed out loud, his tone full of admiration.
At such a young age, having outstanding abilities and not fearing power, all of this made Lu Heshang highly regard him.
“Chairman Lu is too kind.” Qin Yichen smiled.
“Sit!” Lu Heshang pointed to the seat beside him.
Seeing Lu Heshang’s gesture, everyone in the hall flashed a look of surprise in their eyes.
The seat beside Lu Heshang was not a position that just anyone could sit in. Even the Chairmen of First Tier Business Alliances in the Royal City did not have the qualification to sit in that position.
“Thank you, Chairman Lu.” Qin Yichen cupped his fists, and then, under the surprised gazes, sat down next to Lu Heshang.
“I wonder what kind of business Grandmaster Qin wants to set up with me?”
Seeing his posed demeanour, which did not at all match the information in his intelligence reports describing him as a greenhorn from a small city who had never seen the big world, Lu Heshang inwardly cursed the person who had collected that intelligence.
“I want to use the modified formula for the Flowing Cloud Pill and the Hunger Suppression Pill formula from the Alchemy petition to make a deal with Chairman Lu.”
Qin Yichen went straight to the point, laying out his chips.
*Siiiii…* As soon as Qin Yichen’s words fell, several sharp intakes of breath were heard in the hall.
“Oh?” Lu Heshang had not expected Qin Yichen to bring out these two formulas.
As a member of the Royal Family, he naturally knew the value of these two formulas. However, he did not let it go to his head, but instead pondered what Qin Yichen wanted to get from him.
“What do you want in exchange?” Lu Heshang took a sip of tea and asked.
Qin Yichen calmly swept his gaze over everyone in the hall, then fixed his eyes on Lu Heshang, looking directly at him as he said word by word, “I want to buy all the Withered Frost Grass Production Areas in the entire Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, regardless of size or quality. I want them all!”
He did not beat around the bush, nor was he afraid of them overthinking. Withered Frost Grass Production Areas were something he had to acquire no matter what, even if it meant paying a higher price.
“The Withered Frost Grass Production Areas!?” Hearing this, the many figures in the hall were shocked, though fortunately, they were not ordinary people and did not show much reaction on the surface.
However, what they could not understand was why Qin Yichen would offer two formulas of inestimable value in exchange for the seemingly useless Withered Frost Grass.
Due to the special geographical environment of the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, it was abundant in Withered Frost Grass, while in other neighbouring countries, it did not even exist.
However, from ancient times to the present, no one had discovered the value of Withered Frost Grass, which was why it had bee a low-grade, cheap, and seemingly useless medicinal material.
So, they could not read through Qin Yichen’s intention.
If it was not for the fact that the person before them was Qin Yichen, whose name had spread throughout the entire Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty and who was at the height of his fame, they would definitely have taken him for a fool.
