Chapter 1297: Chapter 987: Black Gold for Starship
Under the leadership of Lu Chen, Ye Xingteng and his group arrived at a conference room.
Upon entering the conference room, they found people already waiting inside. As soon as they saw Lu Chen co in, everyone in the room promptly stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, “We greet you… Lord!”
Lu Chen waved his hand, “Everyone, please take your seats.”
After that, the mbers of the Changhong Trading Team and the Cosmic Developnt Company took their seats on either side of the long conference table, while Lu Chen sat at the head of the table.
Lu Chen spoke to Ye Xingteng, saying, “Let introduce to everyone, these individuals are the managers of the Cosmic Developnt Company.”
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, the middle-aged man next to him stood up again and said, “My na is Zhao Tian, the manager of the marketing departnt of the Cosmic Developnt Company, and I am in full charge of the starship trade this ti.”
Hearing Zhao Tian’s words, Ye Xingteng, sowhat confused, asked, “Lord Lu, isn’t the contract for the starship trade supposed to be signed with the Ministry of Comrce?”
Ye Xingteng thought that Lu Chen brought them to the Ministry of Comrce to sign a contract with the Changhong Trading Team, but they hadn’t t any officials from the Ministry upon entering; instead, they were negotiating with the Cosmic Developnt Company.
Lu Chen replied, “Not exactly. The Ministry of Comrce is only responsible for coordinating, and under normal circumstances, the Ministry does not interfere with the regular operations of Daxia companies, even if the Cosmic Developnt Company is an imperial enterprise.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Xingteng realized, “So that’s how it is.”
Having spent so ti in the Daxia Dynasty, Ye Xingteng had gained so understanding of the empire, including what a company is and its functions.
In his understanding, a company was no different from his Ye Family’s Changhong Chamber of Comrce.
Lu Chen continued, “Alright, now let’s talk about the trade price for the starships. Manager Zhao, President Ye, please begin your discussion.”
Zhao Tian went straight to the point, saying, “President Ye, I wonder what kind of trade thod you intend to use to purchase our starships.”
Ye Xingteng replied, “If possible, we would like to use top-grade Spirit Stones as the trading currency, though I believe the Cosmic Developnt Company may not have much interest in Spirit Stones.”
Although Spirit Stones are a universal currency throughout the cosmos and can be used everywhere to buy things, for certain precious resources, most people would not sell them just for Spirit Stones but rather hold onto them to barter for other valuable resources.
To the Daxia Dynasty, starships might not be considered a rare resource, but to the entire cosmos, they are quite a unique commodity, so Ye Xingteng believed that the Cosmic Developnt Company would not initially trade starships for Spirit Stones like a regular item.
It is more likely that the Cosmic Developnt Company would prefer to barter goods for goods.
Furthermore, the Cosmic Developnt Company is a Royal enterprise. Even though Lu Chen just ntioned that the Daxia Imperial Court does not interfere in the operation of companies, as an imperial enterprise, the Cosmic Developnt Company inevitably also serves the Royal Family. This ans that behind the Cosmic Developnt Company is the Sum Emperor. As the ruler of the Daxia Dynasty, the Sum Emperor would hardly take an interest in Spirit Stones.
Upon hearing Ye Xingteng’s words, Zhao Tian responded, “President Ye is correct; indeed, we are not particularly interested in Spirit Stones. We have heard that President Ye’s trading team has brought a substantial amount of Black Gold.”
Ye Xingteng was not at all surprised by Zhao Tian’s words. Black Gold is a material that can suppress Heavenly Demons and is extrely rare, making it a rather precious resource.
Although there aren’t many Heavenly Demons in the universe, their existence is always like a sword hanging over the heads of Cultivators; no one knows when they might encounter one.
And even without the threat of Heavenly Demons, Black Gold also has a suppressing effect on Demon Envoys and Demon Cultivators, so any righteous forces would want to stockpile so Black Gold to forge into weapons.
The unique properties of Black Gold make its price exceedingly expensive. Of course, most of the ti, transactions for Black Gold are not made with Spirit Stones, but through bartering.
Ye Xingteng said with a smile, “So the Cosmic Developnt Company is interested in Black Gold. I just don’t know how much Black Gold the Cosmic Developnt Company needs?”
Zhao Tian said indifferently, “As much as you have, we will take.”
This…
Ye Xingteng was stunned; the amount of Black Gold they brought this ti was not small, as it filled several Immortal Boats.
It must be known that their Immortal Boats, used for transporting goods, are space Spiritual Artifacts capable of carrying a huge volu of cargo, with a single Immortal Boat capable of holding the equivalent weight of hundreds of thousands of people.
After snapping back to reality, Ye Xingteng said, “We have four Immortal Boats’ worth of Black Gold. Manager Zhao, are you sure the Cosmic Developnt Company needs so much Black Gold?”
Zhao Tian said, “Certainly, as long as President Ye is willing to trade, then our Cosmic Developnt Company can help President Ye clear out the goods. Afterward, President Ye will be able to bring back more rchandise.”
Regarding the recent large-scale purchasing of Great Sum rchandise by Ye Xingteng and his team, Lu Chen and others were aware. If they cleared out the original cargo of the Immortal Boats, then Ye Xingteng and his team naturally could bring back more rchandise when they return.
Seeing Zhao Tian speaking so assuredly, Ye Xingteng naturally would not refuse. After all, they had no particular use for those Black Gold as they had acquired it through exchange from other Star Domains. If necessary, they could always return to that Star Domain to exchange for more Black Gold.
Ye Xingteng then said, “Good, I agree to trade with Black Gold. However, we require fifteen Tian-class Starships.”
Hearing Ye Xingteng’s words, Zhao Tian was taken aback. He glanced at Lu Chen and then coughed before saying, “President Ye, you have been in the Daxia Dynasty for a while now; you should understand the models of Starships.”
The Cosmic Developnt Company’s Starships are classified into six ranks: God, Saint, Tian, Earth, Xuan, and Huang, with higher-ranked Starships having more powerful capabilities.
Tian-class Starships are already war Starships equipped by the War Dragon Army; how could the Daxia Dynasty possibly sell such Starships casually.
Ye Xingteng said with a smile, “Of course.”
Zhao Tian continued, “Then President Ye should know that Tian-class Starships have complete functions and are combat Starships, only usable by Daxia’s War Dragon Army and are not for sale.”
Ye Xingteng said nonchalantly, “I believe any item of value, as long as the price is right, can be traded. What’s called ‘not for sale’ simply ans the offer isn’t high enough yet.”
The Ye Family is a business clan; in their view, everything has a specific value. As long as the price is right, anything can be traded.
Zhao Tian thought for a mont, then said, “Tian-class Starships are controlled assets. This is not a decision I can make.”
At this point, Zhao Tian looked to Lu Chen and asked, “What does Lord Lu think about this?”
Zhao Tian had no choice but to pass the issue to Lu Chen, as after all, Lu Chen was the Heavenly Emperor, and only he was qualified to approve the sale of Tian-class Starships to other Star Domains.
Lu Chen said with a smile, “President Ye is correct; anything can be traded for the right price. However, first, we need to see how much Black Gold President Ye has brought, then we can provide an answer.”
Ye Xingteng said, “Alright, next I will take you all to our Immortal Boats to see the Black Gold.”
