If the Meteor Trading Company took over the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, then they would surely be able to cut down the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company's space, letting the Meteor Trading Company open up the market in the Ancient Opulence City.
The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion's site was seriously too good!
Qian-er was not thinking of cooperation at all in her heart, but the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion subordinating to the Meteor Trading Company. Hence, she was aggressive right from the start.
But Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "Miss Qian-er don't need to scheme in vain. My Fragrant Medicine Pavilion is only seeking a source of goods and doesn't have plans to become any force's subordinate. However, as long as Miss Qian-er promises to provide the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion with a supply of goods, this Ye can guarantee to increase the Meteor Trading Company's market share to 20% within half a year!"
Qian-er's gaze involuntarily sharpened when she heard that, but she revealed a disbelieving look. It was just that her expression was obstructed by the veil, so as to not be too impolite either.
The Meteor Trading Company's market share in Ancient Opulence City now did not even reach 10%; being crushed by the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company until they could not raise their heads.
If they could increase to 20%, that would absolutely be a tremendous improvement.
The profit in this was not a small amount!
Except, Ye Yuan was a puny little Divine Traversing Realm; on what basis could he achieve this?
"Huhu, 20%? Isn't Mister Ye talking in your dreams? Our Meteor Trading Company entered the Ancient Opulence City a little late, but it's been 10 years already too. But in this ten year's time, we only opened up less than 10% of the market share. You want to increase our share to 20% in one go. Isn't this boasting a little too exaggerated?" Qian-er said.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "20% is just a conservative estimate. If both parties collaborate happily, 30% isn't impossible either. Don't be in a rush to doubt first. Take a look at these few medicinal pills before talking."
As he said, Ye Yuan reached his hand out to the table and wiped. Five to six kinds of medicinal pills appeared in front of Qian-er.
"Mystic Dew Pill, Purpleheart Pill, Tier 5 Essence Restoring Pill . . . These medicinal pills are all common wares. Could it be that Mister Ye's reliance is these?"
Qian-er's tone revealed thick disappointment, feeling like her calling Ye Yuan in was a complete waste of time.
But Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Miss Qian-er, don't be impatient. Why not sample these few medicinal pills first?"
Chapter 728 - Respect
"Mister Ye, I don't know where your confidence came from. But I feel that the only way of working together between us is the Luxuriant Fragrance Hall's title deed. You offer the land; I offer manpower and goods. This way, everyone will be happy with the collaboration."
Very clearly, Qian-er already lost interest in continuing to talk with Ye Yuan, directly putting her cards on the table.
As for these medicinal pills in front of her, she could not even be bothered to try them at all.
If it was Tier 6 medicinal pills in front of her, then fine. But with some run-of-the-mill Tier 5 medicinal pills, Qian-er normally would not even give it a look. What was there to sample?
While at this time, Jun Tianyu who was silent all along finally opened his mouth.
"Miss Qian-er, don't be mistaken. We came to find the Meteor Trading Company to cooperate, not to seek your charity! Once these few medicinal pills appears on the market, it will absolutely be able to bring a rather scary profit. We came to find your Meteor Trading Company first is to give you guys the opportunity to open up the Ancient Opulence City's situation. Once we find other trading companies to collaborate, it will probably be even harder for you all to survive in the Ancient Opulence City."
These few types of medicinal pills looked very unremarkable. But the profits contained in them were absolutely terrifying!
Even if Jun Tianyu did not understand these, he also knew that this was a chance that Ye Yuan was handing out to the Meteor Trading Company, and not the Meteor Trading Company giving alms to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion!
It was just that this kind of opportunity, not everyone could grasp it.
Whether or not they cherished it would be up to themselves.
"Heh heh, what high-sounding sentiments! A tiny force who doesn't even have Alchemy Ancestors actually wants to provide an opportunity for our Meteor Trading Company?" said the elderly man behind Qian-er with a cold laugh.
Very clearly, he also felt that this manner of saying things was too comical.
Without Alchemy Ancestor powerhouses, it meant they were unable to refine Tier 6 medicinal pills.
The profit from selling one hundred Tier 5 medicinal pills did not have as much profit as selling one Tier 6 medicinal pills either!
These few medicinal pills in front of them were all common wares, the most ordinary Tier 5 medicinal pills. There was not much profit to speak of at all.
What kind of waves could such medicinal pills stir up?
The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion wanting to gain a firm foothold in the Ancient Opulence City by relying on these few medicinal pills without even an alchemy ancestor was simply the greatest joke in the world!
Ye Yuan stood up when he heard that and lightly wiped the table, putting away the medicinal pills. Lightly sighing, he said, "Me coming to find you guys to cooperate was taking into account that I have some relationship with the Meteor Trading Company. But Miss Qian-er's judgment seriously makes people not quite dare to flatter. No wonder the Meteor Trading Company came to the Ancient Opulence City for already as long as ten years and still can't handle the situation. Since we can't see eye to eye, farewell!"
Ye Yuan knew that his cultivation realm at present was hard to convince the public. This kind of result was actually within his expectations too. But with his character, he would not deign to extoll his own medicinal pills at all.
Ye Yuan knew that with the Meteor Trading Company's strength, they definitely already knew of his actions some time ago in Ancient Opulence City.
If they were merchants with foresight, finding him to cooperate now was absolutely a wise move.
Looking at it now, it was his wishful thinking.
Finished talking, Ye Yuan and Jun Tianyu headed out in tandem.
When Qian-er heard Ye Yuan's evaluation, her delicate body involuntarily shuddered, feeling like she suffered tremendous humiliation.
The Ancient Opulence City kept failing to get a larger share of the market. This was indeed a worry of hers.
Yet, Ye Yuan digging open her scar without any mercy still made her somewhat unable to tolerate it.
"Halt!" Qian-er suddenly stood up and shouted.
But Ye Yuan was like he did not hear it, continuing to walk out.
Qian-er's dainty fists clenched tightly, and she shouted once more, "Ye Yuan, I asked you to stop!"
But Ye Yuan still did not stop, looking like he was going to go out soon.
Right at this time, that Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouse behind Qian-er moved!
Chiii!
Yet, when his figure had just moved, a peerlessly fierce and swift sword qi also arrived instantly!
Boom!
The elderly man fell back several steps in a row before he could barely manage to stop his figure.
Very clearly, he lost this round.
But because of him taking action, Ye Yuan and Jun Tianyu stopped moving.
The old man was a Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouse. Although Jun Tianyu was powerful, he was not powerful to the extent of disregarding him either.
"I've long heard that Jun Tianyu's sword intent is unparalleled. Seeing it today, it indeed lived up to its name!" the old man praised him.
"You flatter me! However, while the transaction didn't work out, our amicable relationship is still there. If you're like this again next time, then don't blame me for n
ot being courteous!" Jun Tianyu said coolly.
Just arrogant!
Even when facing a colossal titan like the Meteor Trading Company, Jun Tianyu similarly dared to utter threats!
The elderly man's expression changed slightly, but he really did not dare to make a move.
That sword earlier was just a modest display of a master's skill, but it already let the old man see Jun Tianyu's might.
"Miss Qian-er was just asking you guys to stay. Why must your esteemed self be so overbearing?" said the elderly man with a somber look.
Jun Tianyu said coolly, "The matter of the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, Ye Yuan makes the call for everything. Since he doesn't wish to stay, I naturally won't stay either."
Qian-er's and the old man's expressions changed slightly when they heard that!
The exalted Ancient Opulence City's number one swordsman actually listened to a Divine Traversing Realm brat's orders. This simply made people dare not believe it.
Previously, they all thought that between Jun Tianyu and Ye Yuan there was a relationship of equals.
Looking at it now, it was totally not like this!
What difference was there between the current Jun Tianyu and an underling?
After the shock, Qian-er came before Ye Yuan with quick steps and extended a palm out to him, saying with a huff, "Give it to me! I want to see just what miraculous aspects these few common wares of yours have! To actually give you such great confidence!"
Although Qian-er's face was rather obscure being separated by a veil, without needing to look, one would also know that she was a little girl in a fit of pique right now, wanting to prove that Ye Yuan's medicinal pills had not a single redeeming feature!
But Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "I gave you the opportunity earlier already. You didn't grasp it yourself."
Qian-er said coldly, "Humph! Pretending to be mysterious! Your medicinal pills are probably a pile of trash, right?
Ye Yuan shot Qian-er a glance rather surprisedly. Why would the Meteor Trading Company send such a young lass over to manage affairs?
This kind of judgment, this kind of forbearance, how could she possibly manage a trading firm well?
Currently, the Meteor Trading Company striding forward with difficulty in the Ancient Opulence City was probably all because of this little lass, right?
Seeing Ye Yuan's eyes, Qian-er felt like she was being humiliated by people.
If Jun Tianyu looked down on her, she absolutely would not be so livid with rage.
But what did Ye Yuan count as?
He was just a measly little Alchemy Sovereign! Moreover, a brat who was still wet behind his ears!
"If you say that it's trash, then it's trash. What's the point of debating over this now? Miss Qian-er, if you want to negotiate, straighten out your attitude first. I've made known my attitude right from the start. I'm here to seek a collaboration, not looking for alms. You want to obtain other people's respect, but first, you have to learn to respect others," Ye Yuan said coolly.
Qian-er could not help becoming stiff when she heard that.
This brat was actually lecturing her!
When she was commanding the wind and clouds in the trading firm, this brat was still drinking milk at god knows where!
He actually dared to lecture her!
"Fine! I'll give you adequate respect! But if those medicinal pills of yours are all a bunch of trash, what then?" Qian-er s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath and said somberly.
Chapter 729 - Profits
Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "How about this, if my medicinal pills can't make the cut, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion is yours. I only want 10% of the profits. If my medicinal pills make the cut, you guys provide the medicinal herbs, we're responsible for refining the pills. Profits are 70% for me, 30% for you."
Qian-er's brain revolved very quickly and answered immediately, "Fine! Bring the medicinal pills over. I want to see just what miraculous areas those common wares of yours have!"
Ye Yuan smiled and took the medicinal pills out once more.
Qian-er snatched over the medicinal pills and was going to stuff it into her mouth when she was stopped by the old man.
"Miss Qian-er, better let me!"
Qian-er pushed aside the elderly man's hand and said indignantly, "It's fine. I don't believe that he dares to poison me to death!"
As she said, Qian-er threw a Tier 5 Essence Restoring Pill straight into her mouth, c.o.c.king her head like putting on a show of force.
Ye Yuan did not respond. He just quietly waited for Qian-er's reaction.
"Heh, merely thus! Ye Yuan, you lost! Isn't this Tier 5 Essence Restoring Pill the same as normal ones? Even the taste is . . . En?"
Qian-er's words were said halfway when it was swallowed right back down. The expression on her face became interesting as well.
Qian-er was a Boundless Realm medicinal pill. Tier 5 medicinal pills did not have much effect on her.
But the good and bad of medicinal pills, she would know with a try.
At this time, the expression on Qian-er's face became extremely fascinating. Even when separated by a veil, it was also able to make people sense her shock.
"This . . . How is this possible?" Qian-er muttered under her breath.
"Miss, what's wrong? Could it be that his medicinal pills are really different?" asked the elderly man curiously.
But Qian-er did not reply him, picking up the Mystic Dew Pill and swallowing it down directly.
With this, the expression on Qian-er's face became even more unthinkable.
Following that was the Purpleheart Pill . . .
By the time she sampled all of the medicinal pills, her entire person was trembling.
"Miss, what's the matter?"
When the old man saw Qian-er's reaction, he could not help getting rather worried.
Qian-er suddenly grabbed hold of the old man's arm and said agitatedly, "Elder Duan, these . . . these medicinal pills simply have limitless potential! With them, we can definitely open up the Ancient Opulence City's market! No, we can definitely drive out the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company!"
"Uh, so exaggerated? Just what miraculous aspects do these medicinal pills have?" Elder Duan also said curiously.
Qian-er said agitatedly, "Of course it's this exaggerated! These Tier 5 medicinal pills, each type of medicinal effect are 40-60% stronger than medicinal pills of the same kind! Once such medicinal pills are rolled out, what kind of demand do you think it will incur from Divine Traversing Realm martial artists?"
Elder Duan's pupils constricted slightly as well when he heard that and said, "How is that possible? These few types of Tier 5 medicinal pills are all extremely m.a.t.u.r.e medicinal pills. It's simply impossible to increase that much medicinal efficacy."
Qian-er said excitedly, "That's why I say that not only can we gain a larger share of the Ancient Opulence City's market, but we can also squeeze out the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company!"
Qian-er's eyes emitted light as if already seeing the outcome of the Heaven's Destiny Trading Company being completely beaten down.
"Are these few medicinal pills of mine still passable?" Ye Yuan asked with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"More than just passable! It's simply too incredible! With these medicinal pills, our Meteor Trading Company . . ."
Qian-er's words were said halfway when she noticed Ye Yuan currently looking at her with a half-smile. Only then did he come to realize that even if these medicinal pills were any more incredible, what relations did they had with her?
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "With Miss Qian-er's attitude, my medicinal pills should be considered a pass. Then our agreement . . . can it be honored or not?"
Qian-er could not help freezing when she heard that and said with an embarrassed look, "This . . . Earlier, what I said were all words said in anger. Can we talk it over again or not?"
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "A gentleman never goes back on his words
. How can things agreed upon be reneged?"
"But I'm not a gentleman! I'm a girl!" Qian-er twisted logic to win the argument.
"Heh, so what then? Actually, I really brought sincerity here this time. Originally, my plan was to divide 50/50; that way, everyone will be happy. I gave your Meteor Trading Company the opportunity. It was you who didn't grasp it yourself. Whatever you say now is already too late." Ye Yuan was not moved and said indifferently.
It was fine if Ye Yuan did not say it. The moment he said it, Qian-er regretted!
She despised Ye Yuan in such manner earlier and even wanted to swallow up the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.
Looking at it now, it was simply foolish to the extreme!
In this short while, the Meteor Trading Company lost 20% profit straight away. This made people too depressed.
Qian-er could foresee that as soon as these medicinal pills entered the market, there would absolutely be massive amounts of earth essence crystals rolling in.
20% profit was absolutely generous to the extreme!
But now, could it be that she had to let 20% profit sink into the water?
Qian-er was very unresigned!
Her eyes swiveled around and recalled the words Ye Yuan said before leaving. She opened her mouth and said, "Didn't Mister Ye say that you have some relationship with our Meteor Trading Company? Qian-er apologizes to you here. On account of our two families' relationship, give back the 20% profit to us, all right?"
Talking until the back, Qian-er's words even had somewhat of a spoiled child's overtone.
Her voice was nice to listen to. If it were a guy, their bones would probably turn limp under such an attack.
Ye Yuan was, of course, moved as well. But this sort of outcome was Qian-er's own fault. He would not sympathize.
"Miss Qian-er don't need to waste your efforts already. Things that this Ye decided, nobody is able to change it! The profit I can give you guys now is only 30%. If you guys aren't willing, I can find other trading firms to collaborate. I believe that this Ye's medicinal pills should interest quite a few trading firms," Ye Yuan said resolutely.
