Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 412 Agreement

Chapter 412: Chapter 412 Agreement

"So what does Chairman Zhou propose for the profit-sharing ratio?"

Ling Chen asked.

He felt a hint of displeasure in his heart.

He provided the elixir recipe, helping Zhou Tian Trading defeat Purple Cloud Commerce in the field of elixirs, which was of great benefit to Zhou Tian Trading.

Although he also harbored thoughts of using this to strike against the Great Xia Dynasty through Purple Cloud Commerce, the vast majority of the profits would be taken by Zhou Tian Trading.

"How about a forty-sixty split?"

Zhou Tian asked with a smile.

Zhou Tiantang looked a bit dumbfounded beside him. Wasn’t his father here to improve relations with Ling Chen? Why was he playing tricks over the profit-sharing ratio?

Ling Chen’s brows slightly furrowed.

A forty percent share of the profits could amount to a substantial number of spirit stones if sales were high.

However, now it was not just him alone; people from Reincarnation also needed cultivation resources.

Moreover, he only wanted a share of the profits for five years.

"Young Master Ling, are you dissatisfied?"

Seeing Ling Chen silent, Zhou Tian smiled again and said, "How about thirty-seven?"

Upon hearing this, a cold light flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes.

He was already displeased with forty-sixty; Chairman Zhou actually proposed thirty-seventy. Did he really not fear that Ling Chen, in a fit of anger, might turn around and collaborate with Purple Cloud Commerce instead?

Seeing Ling Chen’s expression, Zhou Tiantang wore a bitter look on his face and hurriedly tugged at his father’s sleeve with his chubby hand.

"Chairman Zhou, what exactly do you mean? Could it be that you think I cannot find any other partners besides Zhou Tian Trading?"

Ling Chen scoffed.

Zhou Tian was taken aback and said, "No meaning at all! Am I not just discussing a partnership with you? Do you really think a thirty to me, seventy to you profit share is too little?"

"Ah?"

Ling Chen was suddenly taken aback.

He gets seventy percent?

"What’s wrong? Young Master Ling, I think that with such a miraculous elixir recipe, if you were only getting fifty percent, we would feel quite uneasy about it!"

Zhou Tian hurriedly explained.

"Brilliant! Damn brilliant! Indeed, the older, the wiser!"

Zhou Tiantang immediately understood and his eyes lit up.

Although it seemed like he was conceding a profit to Ling Chen, he was actually employing a tactic that could easily be misunderstood.

Once the misunderstanding was cleared, Ling Chen would probably feel quite favorable towards Zhou Tian Trading!

Ling Chen gave an embarrassed smile and said, "I’m sorry, Chairman Zhou, I misunderstood."

No wonder he was dissatisfied with a forty-sixty split, and Zhou Tian proposed a thirty-seventy split. The lion’s share was on his side all along.

Zhou Tian smiled and said, "If Young Master is still not satisfied, how about an eighty-twenty split?"

"The profit from the elixirs might exceed your expectations, Young Master. Even with just a twenty percent share, we will make a profit!"

"No need."

Ling Chen quickly waved his hands and said, "Fifty-fifty is fine."

"How can that be?"

Zhou Tian said, "Each elixir recipe is almost priceless, especially this miraculous Returning Essence Pill, which is extremely valuable."

"It’s fine."

Ling Chen smiled and said, "Young Master Zhou, didn’t you say you were buying out the elixir recipes outright?"

Before Zhou Tiantang could speak.

Zhou Tian loudly exclaimed, "He doesn’t know shit! It depends on the kind of recipe. With a recipe like Young Master Ling’s, it would cost a fortune to buy it outright. Even Zhou Tian Trading couldn’t afford it."

"Exactly! I don’t understand much; I just heard it from people below."

Zhou Tiantang smiled awkwardly.

He knew well that his father was trying to foster good relations with Ling Chen.

Ling Chen nodded and said, "Alright, let’s do that. A fifty-fifty split for Returning Essence Pill, and in addition, I will provide two other elixir recipes for free. These two require higher quality spiritual medicines and may not be mass-produced."

Zhou Tian’s eyes widened and said, "How can that be acceptable? Young Master Ling, you would be at a loss."

"Chairman Zhou, I appreciate your kindness. As long as you open up the market, I will also earn quite a bit, and the rest can be considered as your marketing expenses, okay?"

Ling Chen laughed and said.

Since Zhou Tian Trading is treating him so well, it was only natural for him to reciprocate. Only through mutual benefit can both parties maintain long-term cooperation.

"Alright then!"

Zhou Tian reluctantly nodded: "However, isn’t five years a bit too short for sharing profits? Why not make it permanent?"

"Chairman Zhou, this is already more than enough!"

Ling Chen stated firmly: "In the future, I might not even need it."

High-quality Primordial Spirit Stones are perhaps necessary in the Primordial Pill Realm, but once one reaches the Palace Mansion Realm, or even higher and more profound realms, they might be too low-level.

"That’s true!"

Zhou Tian laughed and said: "In the future, Young Master Ling is sure to become an extraordinary powerhouse, surpassing even the Arrow God. How could the Great Xia Dynasty ever restrain you?"

"Chairman Zhou jests!"

Ling Chen waved his hand.

"Fine, let’s settle on this then. Let’s sign the agreement!"

Saying so, Zhou Tian took out two copies of the agreement.

After signing the agreement, Ling Chen handed over the elixir prescription he had already prepared to Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian took out an invitation and extended an invite: "Young Master Ling, ten days from now, our Zhou Tian Trading will hold a large auction event. I hope you can grace us with your presence and provide some guidance."

"Um."

Ling Chen took the invitation and nodded: "If I have the time, I’ll be there."

"Excellent, we will wait for Young Master Ling’s honored arrival."

Zhou Tian said with a smile.

He then prepared to take his leave.

Suddenly, an idea struck Ling Chen, and he asked: "Chairman Zhou, how do you plan to introduce the new Returning Essence Pill?"

"Obviously, we’ll first concoct a batch, then give them to the major families to use for free! Once they realize the effectiveness of our new Returning Essence Pills, they’ll naturally come to buy ours."

Chairman Zhou said with a laugh.

Ling Chen smiled and said: "Then Chairman Zhou, why not make a big splash at the auction event? Just present the new Returning Essence Pills as the final auction item. When the results are announced, give them away for free to those who attended the auction. Wouldn’t that have a better effect?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tian first paused, then immediately nodded in succession, ecstatically saying: "Young Master Ling, your suggestion is sound. Moreover, we can also take advantage of the situation to attract buyers with the other two types of elixirs."

"Young Master Ling, I must take my leave, I need to think this over."

Saying this, Zhou Tian hurriedly bade farewell and left.

Ling Chen looked over at Zhou Tiantang and smiled: "Young Master Zhou, won’t you go back and assist your father?"

"I’m not much help."

Zhou Tiantang replied.

"By the way, Young Master Ling, since our cooperation has been so smooth, have you considered the matter of me joining Reincarnation?"

"Although I’m wealthy, I don’t wish to be fought over by others!"

Zhou Tiantang said with a bitter smile.

"Um."

Ling Chen nodded and said: "Then join my Reincarnation."

"Thank you, Young Master Ling."

Zhou Tiantang was overjoyed.

After that, Ling Chen handed Zhou Tiantang over to Jiang Yingxue for arrangements.

As for himself, he entered into cultivation.

However, it wasn’t long before Ye Zhenzhen came over to report: "Young Master, the Flowing Wind Gang Leader Qin Ruxu has issued a challenge letter, inviting you to a battle at the central plaza in three days."

Saying so, Ye Zhenzhen handed over the challenge letter.

"Qin Ruxu?"

"The Princely Heir of the Primordial Pill Realm’s eighth level?"

A hint of fighting spirit surged in Ling Chen’s eyes.

He wanted to see, what’s the difference between the Princely Heir of the Primordial Pill Realm’s eighth level, and the Elders of the same level?

It’s said that this person also possesses a top-tier Super Spiritual Body!
