Chapter 80: The Big Deal
Worth it, totally worth it!
After hearing Zheng He's explanation, Wang Cheng suddenly turned to joy. The feeling of depression and loss caused by the failure of continuous foundation building was instantly dissipated.
Compared with the benefits obtained after building foundations mentioned by Zheng He, a [Basic Building Pill] is really nothing.
At the same time, after listening to Zheng He's explanation, Wang Cheng also felt aroused in his heart, and he had the urge to tell him about the inexplicable explosion of his magic power, and see if he could help him find out the reason for the incident.
But when the words came to his mouth, he held back again.
Because he suddenly remembered that if this matter was really related to some secret, wouldn’t he have exposed his situation to others for nothing?
In any case, I am still young and have many opportunities to try to build a foundation. Wang Cheng feels that he doesn’t need to be so impulsive and radical.
"President Wang can say everything clearly if he has something to do, so there is no need to hesitate to avoid anything."
When Zheng He saw Wang Cheng wanting to speak but stopping, he waved his hand and signaled him to say something frankly.
When Wang Cheng heard this, he no longer hesitated and immediately bowed to him and said, "To be honest, Deacon Zheng, Wang came to Baixiang Mountain this time, in addition to selling two new second-level spiritual objects from our sect, it was also because the sect found a small companion vein mixed with [Black iron] and [Steel and Silver], and extracted some finished [Steel and Silver] spiritual gold to be sold to your chamber of commerce!"
"If the Chamber of Commerce still recognizes the quality of this batch of [steel and silver], we can also establish long-term transactions in the future!"
After he finished speaking, he saw Zheng He's face froze.
"What did Master Wang say just now? You said that the [steel and silver] ore veins were found in your Qingyun Sect?"
Zheng He's voice suddenly rose a lot, his face full of surprise and surprise.
"Is it the accompanying ore veins accompanied by [Black Iron] and [Steel Silver], which are mainly extracted, or the [Black Iron] Spiritual Gold!"
Wang Cheng corrected Zheng He's statement to prevent the other party from misunderstanding.
After hearing his corrective words, Zheng He's expression of joy was indeed less, but he still looked at him with surprise and said, "The companion veins are also very good. I wonder if Master Wang can reveal what the content of the ore is [steel and silver]?"
This issue can be said to involve Qingyun Sect's privacy, but Wang Cheng knew very well that if he covered up at this time, it would be easier to make people imagine.
So he quickly replied: "According to the results of this sect's refining, the content of [steel and silver] in one hundred kilograms of ore is only about one or two taels, which is not high!"
"One hundred kilograms of ore can produce one or two taels of [steel and silver] spiritual gold?"
Zheng He smiled and frowned, not very satisfied with the result.
Wang Cheng seemed to have not seen the change in Zheng He's face, but sighed with emotion: "Yes, it's a blessing, otherwise our small Qingyun Gate would not dare to mine such a mineral vein, let alone sell it!"
After hearing his sigh, Zheng He's eyes flashed with a strange color, and then he smiled indifferently: "President Wang is so serious. It is of course a great thing to discover the [steel and silver] ore vein of Qingyun Sect. It is a great opportunity. I believe that in the future, the noble vein that owns this ore vein will surely be able to make a fortune, and become a famous sect in this wilderness area!"
After saying that, he raised his hand to Wang Cheng and said, "President Wang might as well show Zheng the [steel and silver] spiritual gold extracted by your sect. If the quality is qualified, Zheng will never treat Master Wang badly in terms of the acquisition price."
"Then Wang thank Deacon Zheng here first!"
Wang Cheng bowed his hand and immediately took out a piece of [steel and silver] spiritual gold and handed it to Zheng He for inspection.
Zhu Yuanhao is also a formal weapon refiner. The quality of the [steel and silver] he personally extracted is of course not bad.
After a little check, Zheng He put down the spirit gold in his hand and nodded slightly to Wang Cheng and said, "Yes, the quality of these [steel and silver] is OK. If Master Wang is willing, Zheng can buy it at a market price of 150 low-grade spirit stones per pound, so how much do you want!"
The price is not much different from what Wang Cheng asked about, so Wang Cheng didn't bargain anymore.
He took out all the [steel silver] from the storage bag and placed it on the table, and said with a smile: "With Deacon Zheng's words, Wang was relieved. There are 88 kilograms and 7 taels of [steel silver] here. Please check it out."
Eighty-eight jin and seven taels [steel and silver], calculated according to Zheng He's quotation, is 13,305 low-grade spirit stones.
After checking the weight of [Silver], Zheng He readily accepted the spirit gold and then allocated the spirit stones to Wang Cheng.
After reaching the deal in this way, Zheng He looked at Wang Cheng and said, "The long-term cooperation that Master Wang mentioned before is indeed very interested in, but I don't know how Master Wang wants to cooperate?"
"Wang has two ideas here, so please Deacon Zheng for reference."
Wang Cheng received more than 10,000 spirit stones and was in a good mood. He immediately stretched out his hand and said with a gesture: "One is that Qingyunmen is responsible for mining and refining, and then the Guizhou Chamber of Commerce will come to buy the finished product [steel and silver] spirit gold every year or two years; the other is that the gate will sell the ore veins directly to the Guizhou Chamber of Commerce to mine. The Guizhou Chamber of Commerce will issue a large amount of spirit stones or other resources and buy them out at one time!"
"Sell the ore veins to our chamber of commerce?"
Zheng He looked at Wang Cheng with surprise and said, "Is Master Wang willing to do it? This is a mine vein!"
Wang Cheng understood what he meant, and immediately nodded with great confidence and said, "As long as the price is right, there is nothing to be willing to let go. Deacon Zheng also knew about the situation of Qingyun Sect. We are short of spirit stones and manpower now, very short of it!"
When Zheng He saw that he really thought this way, he was immediately shocked by his courage.
But he quickly shook his head with regret on his face and sighed: "What a pity! Unfortunately, although Zheng was very moved by the proposal of Chief Wang, this matter did not comply with the agreement between the Chamber of Commerce and Longshan Academy!"
After saying that, he saw Wang Cheng's face showing confusion, and explained softly: "According to the agreement between this chamber of commerce and Longshan Academy, this chamber of commerce can help Qingyun Sect and other sects develop their forces through cooperation, but it cannot directly occupy any land and mineral resources in this wild area, even if it is obtained through transactions!"
“Is there any such limitation?”
Wang Cheng frowned and couldn't help but ponder.
In fact, of course, he wanted to sell the ore veins directly. Even if the spirit stones obtained from the ore veins were only 20% of the total value of the ore veins, it would be a huge profit for Qingyun Sect.
After all, once the mine veins are sold, the Qingyun Sect will not have to take any risks at all. Next, just turn the obtained spirit stone into the sect's foundation.
But now with this limitation, he has no choice.
At this time, Zheng He spoke again: "In fact, if the leader Wang does not have enough manpower, this chamber of commerce can also help you hire miners, and at the same time provide your sect with formations and furnaces that can refine spiritual gold on a large scale, and even help you hire guards with foundation-building cultivation to guard the mine!"
"Oh, can the Chamber of Commerce still help hire guards who have the foundation-building stage cultivation? Is this kind of employment reliable?"
Wang Cheng's eyes lit up and his eyes looked at Zheng He in surprise.
"Haha, Master Wang doesn't know this. This is a matter of earning spirit stones for people as guards. However, many random cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage most commonly use to earn spirit stones. As for the safety of employment, Master Wang doesn't have to worry about it. This kind of employment is completely recognized by [Tianli Pavilion], and you only need to go to [Tianli Pavilion] to enter a contract."
Zheng He smiled and didn't care about Wang Cheng's "rare and weirdness", and immediately explained the key points to him.
At the end of the day, Zheng He also had a slightly cold look in his eyes and said in a deep voice: "And if the guards hired by our chamber of commerce are helped and dare to do something that violates the contract, not only will the [Tianli Pavilion] not spare him, but our chamber of commerce will not spare him lightly!"
When Wang Cheng heard this, he became interested and asked: "What about the commission? How should I calculate the commission for hiring guards? How many spirit stones are needed?"
Seeing that he was very interested in this, Zheng He also felt energetic, and immediately stretched out two fingers and said, "The commission is mainly affected by two factors, one is the cultivation and combat performance of the guard himself, and the other is the content of the employment task."
After saying that, he smiled slightly and said, "If it is a hiring task like Zhang Sect Wang who hires to protect the mine, as long as it is determined that it is only to protect the mine, then the employment fee of an ordinary early-stage cultivator will be about 1,500 low-grade spirit stones per year, the middle-stage cultivator of the foundation building will be 3,000 low-grade spirit stones per year, and the late-stage cultivator of the foundation building will be 6,000 low-grade spirit stones per year!"
Very expensive!
This is the first feeling in Wang Cheng’s heart after hearing Zheng He’s words.
Just guarding the mine for employment tasks, a monk in the early stage of foundation building will have a commission of 1,500 low-grade spirit stones a year. If nothing happens in a year, that monk in the early stage of foundation building will be equivalent to earning 1,500 low-grade spirit stones in meditation and practice!
Even if Wang Cheng was promoted to the first-level top-grade talisman maker, if he had not provided the talisman paper supply provided by the sect, he would probably not have earned so many spirit stones in a year.
"President Wang should not think it is expensive. You must know that sometimes you can only save your wealth. Now there are more and more monks from outside that are pouring into this wilderness. Although Qingyun Sect is located in a remote place, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be discovered. At that time, the situation of the Youth Sect will be difficult to stop others from snooping into the mines!"
It seemed that he could see Wang Cheng’s thoughts, and Zheng He looked at him with deep meaning and said such a reminder.
This is indeed what Wang Cheng is worried about!
The mountain gate of Qingyun Gate is protected by the second-level mountain protection formation, so you are not afraid of the casual cultivators who dare to do anything in the mountain gate.
However, if there is no strong formation to protect the mulberry forest, mines and spiritual fields that will start production in the future, it will be difficult to stop others from stealing and cutting.
If you encounter a bad species that is shameful and likes to do things that harm others and are not good for yourself, and directly cut down their mulberry trees, collapse their mine caves, and filth their spiritual fields, it will be even more annoying!
Thinking of this, Wang Cheng's face changed a bit, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Dashi Zheng's words make sense. Only by giving up can one gain. Then ask Deashi Zheng to hire a monk in the early stage of foundation building to station in the mine, and then hire ten Qi training miners and a first-level high-grade defensive formation!"
As for the formation and furnace for large-scale ore extraction, that thing is too fertile and not needed yet.
