Primordial Emperor-Chapter 1630 - 1629: Commerce Shifts to Central State

"It looks like, Lin Chen, you have a deep connection with the Su family."

Deng Yangbo looked at Lin Chen and spoke with a faint smile.

After all, the five Spatial Rings that Lin Chen had were extremely precious and valuable. Being able to entrust such valuable items to the Su Family Patriarch showed his great trust in the Su family.

Lin Chen did not respond to this but instead talked to Deng Yangbo about doing trade at the borderlands of the west side of Yunlong City, regarding how all the resources near the Ancient Ruins had prices far higher than in other places.

At present, Lin Chen had not yet established a foothold in the Central State, and the Lingxi Commerce Guild had not yet opened there, so he naturally had to rely on others' names to do business.

If the Lingxi Commerce Guild came over, there would be no need for collaboration with the Bright Moon Commerce Guild.

"Lin Chen, what you're talking about certainly has some profit, and of course, Old Brother here would want a piece of it. But that place is really far from Tian Que City. If we were to transport the Bright Moon Commerce Guild's treasures there, and considering the transportation costs, the resource prices would naturally have to go up a bit, and by then, our prices might not be competitive in that place."

Deng Yangbo expressed his view.

Indeed, if the efficacy of elixirs, magic treasures, and Talisman Inscriptions were almost the same, why would people not buy the cheaper ones and instead buy from the Bright Moon Commerce Guild?

Although the Bright Moon Commerce Guild had a well-known reputation, smaller workshops, small commerce guilds, and even individual sellers often offered much more affordable prices and better value for money compared to the Bright Moon Commerce Guild.

"Hehe, Old Brother Deng, I understand your point. But what if I could supply the kind of elixir I showed you the other day?"

Lin Chen looked at Deng Yangbo and spoke calmly.

"What? Lin Chen, are you saying you can source a large batch of those goods?"

Upon hearing what Lin Chen said, Deng Yangbo was taken aback.

One must know, the elixirs that Lin Chen showed him previously were extremely rare, with their quality and efficacy being the best he had ever seen.

Such elixirs, even if priced much higher, would have martial artists scrambling to buy them, fighting each other for them.

So if Lin Chen could indeed get those elixirs, Deng Yangbo naturally had the confidence to overshadow the other vendors and make a significant profit.

"As for the supply, Old Brother Deng, you needn't worry. I will find a way to resolve it. Moreover, I can supply not only elixirs but also magic treasures, Talisman Inscriptions, and Formations. All of which, in terms of quality and efficacy, will surely outperform those on the market."

Lin Chen spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, Deng Yangbo's face immediately lit up with a broad smile. He hurriedly rubbed his hands together, excited.

"Lin Chen, however many resources you can provide, I'll take them all. Spirit Crystals are absolutely not a problem."

Deng Yangbo had seen the kind of elixirs Lin Chen had shown him. If those elixirs were to be sold, even at a price ten times higher than ordinary elixirs, there would be countless people rushing to buy them.

After all, one must know that with elixirs, it's not the quantity that matters but the quality grade and the finish.

The kind of elixir that Lin Chen took out previously could equal a hundred pieces.

So when a martial artist's Spiritual Power was exhausted or if they were seriously injured, consuming one would allow for a rapid recovery.

Whereas if one did not have high-grade elixirs, a large amount would need to be consumed, wasting much time on recovery.

Thus, if one were in a dire situation, wouldn't they be doomed without them?

"Old Brother Deng, the reason I bring this up is not to sell you the elixirs but to collaborate. Given the quality of my resources, is there any fear of them not selling?"

Lin Chen looked at Deng Yangbo, smiling as he spoke.

"So that's what you mean, Lin Chen. Well, that's no problem. But how do you plan to collaborate?"

Deng Yangbo asked directly.

"I'll provide the resources, of course, I'll also provide the manpower. But for other personnel and the commerce guild's name, it's up to Old Brother Deng to take the lead."

"As for the profit-sharing, let's say one to nine."

Lin Chen smiled as he looked at Deng Yangbo and said.

"One to nine? Haha... Lin Chen, wouldn't that be a bit too much of a loss for you!"

Deng Yangbo was momentarily stunned and then showed an extremely delighted smile, secretly wondering how Lin Chen, with his shrewd mind, could propose such terms.

However, after thinking for a bit, he felt something was off.

Lin Chen had always been ruthless when haggling with him, why would he be so generous now? Could it be...

"Lin Chen, could you mean that when you said one to nine, it's you nine, me one?"

Deng Yangbo asked, eyes wide, gazing at Lin Chen.

"Of course, since I'm the one providing all the goods. To put it bluntly, Old Brother Deng is just providing a few people. If Old Brother Deng is not willing, I could also go it alone."

"Old Brother Deng, I've approached you because of our long-standing friendship, thinking that we could earn money together. If Old Brother Deng really feels there's no profit, then let's drop it, forget I said anything."

Lin Chen spoke calmly, immediately using a tactic to retreat to advance.

Upon hearing this, Deng Yangbo's expression froze.

He certainly understood that Lin Chen approached him primarily to take advantage of the Bright Moon Commerce Guild's name, making distribution easier.

But even without the Bright Moon Commerce Guild's name, once the elixirs were launched, Lin Chen certainly wouldn't have trouble selling them.

"Lin Chen, hold on, let's talk this out nicely, didn't I just make a suggestion for discussion?"

"Is there no room for negotiation on the profit-sharing?"

Deng Yangbo looked at Lin Chen, asking calmly.

"The one to nine split is non-negotiable. If Old Brother Deng finds it acceptable, we can start cooperating now. If you feel the share is too low, then there's nothing more to discuss."

Lin Chen spoke calmly.

If it weren't for Lin Chen's current lack of footing in the Central State, should the Lingxi Commerce Guild appear haphazardly, it would inevitably be investigated, subsequently facing many difficulties.

But leveraging the Bright Moon Commerce Guild's name, who in the entire Central State would dare to touch the Bright Moon Commerce Guild?

One must know, the Bright Moon Commerce Guild is not a singular force but a consortium founded by multiple forces; offending the Bright Moon Commerce Guild is equivalent to offending the entire Central State.

And the reason Lin Chen is willing to forgo a 10% share to establish a connection with Deng Yangbo is, in fact, to pave the way for the Lingxi Commerce Guild's future move into the Central State.

"The general cooperation is just like that. As for the specific details, I'll have someone special to discuss them with Old Brother Deng."

Lin Chen said to Deng Yangbo.

Lin Chen wasn't very adept at business, so everything would have to wait for Zhao Lingxi's arrangement.

"Fair enough, then I'll await Lin Chen's good news."

Deng Yangbo looked at Lin Chen, smiling broadly, looking very much like an old fox.
