"Mingyu!"
"Qin Tian!"
At the exit of the Star Port, Qin Tian finally saw his long-separated friend, Dongfang Mingyu. Both of them had smiles on their faces.
"Mingyu, I’m sorry to have you co all this way," Qin Tian said with a smile.
"No, Qin Tian."
Dongfang Mingyu said seriously, "I’m very pleased that you thought of first for this. If the Youth Potion truly has the effects you described, then you’re doing a big favor."
In the Dongfang Clan, whether you’re from the direct lineage or a side branch, you must contribute to the clan. The greater your contributions, the higher the positions and power you can attain.
He’s not particularly skilled in combat, so he’s currently mainly responsible for the business section in the clan, and making money is his primary duty.
Based on his current performance, there’s been so growth compared to last year, but it’s very limited, and in the short term, he can’t see any hope of breaking through the current state.
It might be the case that in the next five or ten years, his position will remain unchanged.
But unexpectedly, not long ago, a phone call from Qin Tian brought him trendous excitent.
Youth Potion
This new product, developed by Qin Tian’s team, possesses effects of delaying aging and maintaining beauty.
In fact, within the Dongfang Clan, there are already so spiritual dicines and elixirs with similar effects, but both the cultivation ti and costs are sky-high, making large-scale promotion impossible.
However, the Youth Potion is different. According to Qin Tian, the raw materials for this potion are not rare and can be mass-produced through large-scale plantation.
If what’s stated is true, then the market potential for the Youth Potion is unlimited and will undoubtedly generate huge profits annually.
Once the Dongfang Clan manages to close this deal, Mingyu, as the primary promoter of the collaboration, will experience a radical change in his status within the clan.
Not only will this year’s performance shoot to the top of the clan’s business section, but the annual profit share will also exponentially increase his wealth.
More importantly, he will be able to rid himself of the "diocre performance" label and stand tall in front of those direct lineage mbers who gain status through military achievents or authority—after all, in the Dongfang Clan, those who continuously create wealth for the clan hold irreplaceable value.
Possibly, within less than two years, he could advance from his current role as a regional business leader to a decision-maker within the clan’s core business circles, even gaining a chance to access top-level clan resources.
By that ti, those once indifferent elders from the direct lineage would start to approach him pleasantly, and the peers who had shone on the battlefield would have to consider his opinion in resource allocation.
Thinking of this, a fervor appeared in Dongfang Mingyu’s eyes as he stated:
"Qin Tian, this ti I’ve brought a professional team. We can start testing the potion imdiately, and if the effects are as claid and production is feasible, I can sign the contract with you right away."
Qin Tian smiled and said:
"Rest assured, since I’ve invited you over, I’m certainly fully prepared. However, Mingyu, as they say, even brothers settle accounts clearly; I won’t be lenient on the contract terms just because of our friendship."
Hearing this, Dongfang Mingyu smiled slightly:
"Naturally, I believe we can discuss and arrive at a result satisfactory to both parties."
"Mmm~"
Qin Tian led Dongfang Mingyu and his team to the Lingfeng Trading Company building. At the top floor of the building, Qin Tian handed over 20 Youth Potion samples to Dongfang Mingyu.
Among them, ten samples would undergo on-the-spot testing, and an analysis report would be produced. If the results were as expected, Dongfang Mingyu would discuss the collaboration details with Qin Tian and draft an initial contract. anwhile, the remaining ten samples would be sent back to Azure Wood Star for a more comprehensive and detailed examination by the Dongfang Clan’s headquarters.
After all, this was a significant deal, with the target clientele mainly being influential figures. There was no room for sloppiness.
Once both the product and contract were approved by the clan, the cooperation would officially comnce.
On Silver Gray Star, there was a testing agency partnered with the Dongfang Clan. Three days later, a very detailed test report was released, and the results were completely consistent with those presented by Qin Tian.
Upon conclusion, Dongfang Mingyu imdiately began negotiations with Qin Tian.
The negotiation process was intense; both sides clashed over specific collaboration terms, especially on the profit-sharing, with neither willing to budge from their positions.
The team from Dongfang Clan believed that since they provided the bulk of the investnt and were responsible for material supply, factory setup, marketing, etc., the profit share should be no less than seventy percent.
But Qin Tian’s side, of course, couldn’t agree, since the patent and formula were the core – they should receive seventy percent of the profit.
Of course, this was all part of normal business negotiations where sky-high demands and grounded returns were essential steps. Ultimately, the final plan was determined by Qin Tian, Dongfang Mingyu, and the Dongfang Clan behind him.
During negotiations, Dongfang Mingyu’s report along with the ten samples arrived at the Dongfang Clan headquarters. This matter imdiately drew the attention of the Elder Council. After more rigorous testing and evaluation by headquarters, it was determined that the Youth Potion product was of acceptable quality with significant comrcial potential. Once realized, it would undoubtedly beco the highlight of the year’s business sector.
The Elder Council engaged in detailed discussions on the matter, and ultimately, it was the Great Elder Dongfang Ke who personally decided to approve the cooperation project, and they were willing to agree to a 50-50 profit-sharing sche with Qin Tian.
Qin Tian had no objections to this plan, and the cooperation was officially established.
Next, the Dongfang Clan and Lingfeng Trading Company would jointly invest in establishing a new company, with Lingfeng Trading Company responsible for the patent formula and 20% of the startup capital, while the Dongfang Clan provided the remaining funds and took charge of material supply, marketing, construction, and other processes.
Naturally, after the new company was established, many matters, especially in finance, personnel, and supervision of key business lines, needed close attention and staffing from Lingfeng Trading Company.
However, Qin Tian assigned Yang Fan to manage all of these, as professional matters were best left to professionals.
His focus remained on enhancing his strength.
Recently, he spent 100,000 Military rit Points to exchange for two Spiritual Artifact Level weapons for Poisonous Widow and Terreda, and he also hired a master blacksmith at a high price to custom-make a set of armor for both of them and Xiong.
Additionally, he equipped each Barbarian Warrior with heavy armor and weapons. Although the armor was not of Spiritual Artifact Level, it was forged from high-grade alloy. The chest and arm armor were embedded with energy buffers capable of resisting attacks from Tier Three Spiritual Ability Weapons, and the weapons were customized according to each warrior’s combat style.
With the enhancent of these weaponry and equipnt, the combat power of the Barbarian Battle Group was further elevated. Already formidable and unmatched, they now possessed an added edge of invincibility.
Originally, Qin Tian was planning to find a group of Star Thieves to give the Barbarian Battle Group so training, but at that mont, a notification sent by the Azure Wood Star Realm’s Military Departnt to all officers at Major General rank and above caught his attention.
