Chapter 1225: Chapter 1225: Provocation (Fourth Update, Seeking Guaranteed Monthly Tickets)

The prepayment really ran into some problems. The Yu Family stated that they had already emphasized it to the other party, but today the payment didn’t really come through.

If there’s no payment, what’s there to talk about! Feng Jun lost his temper, "We’re going back to Luohua tonight, and this batch’s oil price is going to increase by ten percent!"

The Yu Family frantically explained that it wasn’t their intention. They couldn’t move the oil tankers; it was the other party who had some ideas.

Combining three oil tankers, the total amounts to nearly 800,000 tons, worth several billion, a ten percent increase is really deadly.

Upon hearing this, Feng Jun gave a cold smile, "President Yu, we agreed on this initially. I only trusted your Yu Family... Are you talking to me about these things now because you think I’m senile despite my young age?"

Yu Zhiyuan was stunned upon hearing this. This Feng Jun really wasn’t someone who would easily back down.

He suppressed his inner frustration and spoke patiently, "Mountain Master Feng, you do business domestically, you need to understand the local environment. It isn’t realistic to separate any business from the specific business context. I really wish to..."

"There’s no need for you to think about anything," Feng Jun interrupted him directly. "Can I just not sell it?"

That night, he took Zhang Caixin and Feng Jing back to Luohua—it’s as if I’m forced to sell oil or something.

He genuinely wanted to help Huaxia solve the "oil shortage" problem. But if you think I’m desperate for the little money from selling crude oil, I really don’t care.

Quite simply, without the burden of White Pebble Beach, there’s nowhere he can’t go. Honestly, he really wanted to hunt demon beasts in the Endless Sea.

But Yu Zhiyuan was also left speechless—my Yu Family doesn’t earn much from this, we just want to serve the country.

Of course, some handlers are accustomed to achieving things with no effort, deliberately ignoring payment terms, which leaves him speechless.

The next morning, Yu Zhiyuan called to say that after his coordination, a prepayment would be credited in the afternoon.

Feng Jun chuckled, "Prepayment... how much?"

"Fifty percent," Yu Zhiyuan replied without hesitation, "They aren’t very clear about our agreement, so... can you waive your ten percent increase?"

"Waiving the price increase is impossible," Feng Jun answered straightforwardly, "I made a trip for nothing. This makes me very angry. You may be used to wasting other people’s time... is my time to be wasted as you please, hmm?"

"Then... okay," Yu Zhiyuan had nothing to say. Poor guy, such a high-level leader in a state enterprise, being scolded like this, he couldn’t even find words to rebut, "Let’s just settle it this way this time, and everyone will be familiar next time..."

Anyway, Feng Jun’s goods are genuinely good, and he doesn’t demand high prices. This transaction won’t result in a loss.

"Don’t talk about familiarity... I’m not familiar at all with them," Feng Jun interrupted him again, "This time I demand an eighty percent prepayment."

"Eighty percent?" Upon hearing this, Yu Zhiyuan was truly angry, "This is equivalent to eighty-eight percent of the previous payment. How can you go back on the agreed terms... where’s the integrity you touted?"

"Integrity existed before, but you guys ruined it," Feng Jun replied leisurely, "I made a trip for nothing, do you understand?"

"That was just an accident, an accident!" Yu Zhiyuan shouted loudly, "There was a small issue in communication between me and them, but you can’t ask for sky-high prices!"

"I am only accountable to you, do I need to be concerned about others?" Feng Jun snorted, "Too expensive? Just don’t buy it then."

Yu Zhiyuan was almost choked to death, did you say... don’t buy?

Not buy... is that even possible? It’s impossible, the woes of an oil-scarce country have nothing to do with the faction they belong to.

Yu Zhiyuan could only patiently explain, "You already make a nice profit with a ten percent increase, why be concerned about the prepayment ratio? As long as I’m here, the Yu Family won’t cut you short on money, why fuss over a prepayment?"

Feng Jun snorted coldly, "Prepayment has never been just prepayment, it also represents recognition of the brand, whether or not the business is respected... feel free to explain, I don’t mind."

After a pause, he added, "But I won’t be concerned with your opinion."

Yu Zhiyuan was really quite angry with the last statement. He even went to Luohua Manor and found Feng Jun to seriously ask, "If those three oil tankers were mine, would you still raise the price like this?"

Feng Jun answered indifferently, "Then you would have paid the prepayment in full long ago, and there would be no talk of a price increase."

Yu Zhiyuan was almost driven to madness, but Elder Yu discovered the mystery, "Does he not recognize our family? Just tens of billions, that chatterbox complaining, wouldn’t we have just solved it?"

Yu Zhiyuan was on the verge of tears, "Dad, this is over fifty billion, and... that guy might not pay."

Elder Yu looked at his son, also on the verge of tears, "Do you think Feng Jun is short of money? He has a jade building, thousands of tons of gold, he lacks a sense of security, or recognition... your perspective is a bit too narrow."

The old man was right. Feng Jun indeed made his point clear—if anyone wants to play me, sorry, I won’t join the game.

At worst, I won’t earn this money. Do I, Feng Ju, lack money?

Fortunately, the other party knew how invaluable this resource was, so the money was sent over that afternoon—an additional ten percent procurement fee, with an eighty percent prepayment.

Feeling humiliated? Sorry, they had already planned it, and didn’t want to give you the chance to feel humiliated.

The money in Feng Jun’s personal account has already exceeded ten billion, just a very ordinary account in a city commercial bank.

But no one dares to say anything—or do anything—about this account.

However, inevitably... there are still some who aren’t afraid to die, after all, it’s a hundred billion deposit in a city commercial bank.

Leaders from the province called to inquire—this was smoothed over.

The city also called—this was also smoothed over... anyway, the head of the city commercial bank wanted to meet Feng Jun.

Yet, Feng Jun was really not at Luohua anymore. After receiving the prepayment, he went to the East Sea.

The timing agreed upon with Elder Yu was a bit off—the other party was late with the payment; he certainly wouldn’t act in advance.

Actually, he wanted to delay another couple of days, but there was a Spirit Gathering Array set up there, even though it was on a cliff by the sea and could not be stolen, it wasn’t good to just leave it there.

Details aside, that night Feng Jun, Zhang Caixin, Sister Hong, and Feng Jing arrived at the coast of the East Sea—they had nothing to do with Sister Hong originally, but she said she missed out last time and insisted on coming along this time.

Upon reaching the cliff where the Spirit Gathering Array was set up, the four of them were startled. Even at night, everyone could see the thick white mist. Sister Hong couldn’t help but mutter, "Hasn’t anyone discovered this yet?"

In fact, they weren’t too worried about being discovered. Although this cliff wasn’t high, it was over a hundred zhang, especially near the platform where the Spirit Gathering Array was, there was a sheer cliff of twenty or thirty zhang that was not just anyone could climb.

Zhang Caixin, however, was worried about something else, "There won’t be any bugs or ants, right?"

In fact, there were. After the four landed, they found a dozen dead birds on the ground, presumably dead from spiritual energy burst bodies and even two snakes.

More than twenty meters away from the Spirit Gathering Array, there were seven or eight snakes hissing nearby, not far away in the trees perched two owls, three or four seagulls, and a group of small squirrels.

These small animals, normally at odds with each other, were now quietly staying there.

Feng Jun glanced around and then asked in a deep voice, "Do you want me to get rid of these things?"

"No need," said Feng Jing a bit softly, and Zhang Caixin also spoke quietly, "Cute little animals, they have some spirituality."

But Feng Jun just smiled indifferently, "In this Earth Realm, even humans don’t have enough spiritual energy, so why should it be given to these beasts?"

This was always his viewpoint. Never mind that there were also animals absorbing spiritual energy in Luohua Manor. Xiao Wu was purely because he didn’t understand spiritual energy at the start and used it to test, later it followed from Peach Blossom Valley, considered to have fate.

As for Hua Hua, it was a Qi Refinement Realm butterfly with an activated spiritual intellect, and it was originally a Miao Girl raising gu.

Feng Jun could show leniency to them but wouldn’t treat other fowls and beasts well, even if they might have some spirit.

Ultimately, it’s because spiritual energy is too precious in this end time era, not even enough for humans, where are the resources for animals?

Finally, Sister Hong spoke up, "Forget it, they can’t get into the Spirit Gathering Array anyway, let them be then."

After deciding the fate of these small animals, Feng Jun let Sister Hong and Feng Jing stay here, while he took Zhang Caixin, flying towards the direction of the oil tankers.

Three oil tankers were anchored about ten nautical miles from the coastline, with dim lights on the ships.

Onshore, there were several brightly lit tents, the generators were humming, and people were coming and going.

This place should be more than ten nautical miles from the oil tankers, in fact, on the other side of the oil tankers, more than ten nautical miles away, there were also two brightly lit yachts, with people watching the three oil tankers.

This shows that Feng Jun’s warning was indeed conveyed by the Yu Family, and although the other side seemed to accept it, they also put on a posture: beyond ten nautical miles, you can’t manage me, can you?

Ultimately, playing on the edge is the unerring Dharma when probing each other.

Feng Jun could imagine the other party finding an excuse for their actions: such big three oil tankers can’t just be thrown into the sea, they must be watched from afar, right?

Just this small point wouldn’t bother Feng Jun, but... what’s up with that oversized night vision binoculars in the tent?

The other party may still find an excuse, but Feng Jun didn’t care anymore, used Divine Sense to knock down everyone on the beach, then went forward and directly took away the night vision binoculars with a lens as big as a bowl.

Then he went to check on the other two yachts, found another telescope and took it without hesitation.

What he didn’t know was that thirty kilometers away, in a building, there was still a larger magnification telescope observing.

Of course, even if he knew, he might not have acted—unless he truly took a fancy to that night vision binoculars.

Feng Jun’s attitude was very clear: If you secretly observe and I can’t find you, well, you’re lucky, but this blatant observation... isn’t it a provocation?
