21 Investmen

Whoop* Whoop*

Taking a step outside the Teleportation Gates, the two boys finally returned to New China after a few weeks. Passing by the reception, the two ask one of the receptionists "Hello, we would like to sell some things we collected from outside. Can you give us the details?" Ye Qin asked politely

The receptionist lady he spoke to looked at the handsome young man with good manners for a few moments before replying "Yes, the Monster Association includes a building exclusively for dealing with monster drops just across that hallway to the right. You will easily be able to find it if you follow the signs displayed on the walls. We pride ourselves in providing great service and fair pricing for both the buyer and seller, however, if you want to test your luck and get more profit I suggest you visit a black market or put it up for auction online."

"I see, thank you for your time." Ye Qin said as he turned around and walked along the hallway right of the reception desk

"What should we do boss? Do we need to maximise the cash or sell them to the association, or put it up for auction and letting them take some of it as commission?" Wang Tao asked

"Well, let's see how it goes first." Ye Qin replied

…

Step* Step*

Arriving at the association building, the two walked up to the counter and asked for an appraisal then sat down nearby and waited

Not far from them, a clumsy looking man with glasses wearing a full suit and checkered tie eyes the two from his seat as he took a sip from his coffee

Of course, Ye Qin noticed this and eyed him back, making him startled and moved his line of sight away quickly and avoided Ye Qin's gaze. After looking away for a few moments, the man once again looked strangely at the two boys as if he had something he wanted to say

Wang Tao couldn't take it anymore before standing up and puffed up his chest then walked up to the clumsy looking man and said "Hey, why are you looking at us like that? Laozi doesn't have such special interests in men."

"Ah! No you're misunderstanding! I'm as straight as can be, in fact I have a wife and a 3 year old daughter!" the man in glasses replied

"Oh, nice then why are you looking at us?" Fatty Wang eyed him

The man wiped his sweat with a handkerchief before saying, "Sorry for overhearing your conversation, I noticed you two were trying to sell your materials so I tried approaching you but didn't know how to go about at it."

"So you want us to sell to you?" Ye Qin suddenly asked from his seat

"To put it bluntly, yes, young man you're sharp. Just a few words and you already know what I wanted to say." the man replied as he pulled out a business card and handed one to both Ye Qin and Wang Tao

"You see, I started my own company that specialises in the purchase and sales of monster related materials and ingredients, however, currently I am the only one in the company so it's not going too well for me." the man said

Ye Qin looked at the business card which said

[Little Star Corporation]

[Founder and CEO: Liu Kai]

[Address: XXX XXXXXX XXXXX]

[Contact Number: XX XXXX XXXX]

He kept looking at it for a while as he pondered and then replied "I see, then how about I entrust you with this certain drop we collected during our journey."

"Huh, boss you're giving him that? Can we really trust him?" Wang Tao asked

"Just treat it as us investing in his company. If we want to make a profit, we need to trust our instincts even if we may lose it all, that's just how business works." Ye Qin replied as he sent the information of the huge tusks collected from the Blazing Elephant

…

As Liu Kai read the information and glanced at the tusks, his eyes grew wider and wider as he kept going through it all. After a while, he paused and said "This, you two really got this yourselves? That means I just encountered two future leaders of humanity!"

"..."

Cough*

"Excuse the excitement, now are you sure you want to give this to me? What if I run off with it and sell it without giving you two even a single yuan?" the Liu Kai said

"Like I said before, just treat it as us investing in your company." Ye Qin replied

"I see… How about this, after I sell this I will give you two both 20% of the shares making the three of us the founders of the company?" Liu Kai proposed

"20% of a company with nothing? That's pretty sketchy but fine since boss already agreed to give it to you then I naturally agree." Wang Tao said

Though Wang Tao didn't know until the future that their conversation with Liu Kai during this first trip to the Abandoned Lands would lead the three of them from becoming large shareholders of the world's largest corporation

When he thinks about it later on, he will find that his decision to trust in Ye Qin and Liu Kai was the greatest choice he ever made!
