After nearly half a minute, Lin Xiang recovered from his shock and could not help but give Wang Xiao a thumbs up. “Mr. Wang is indeed magnanimous! You will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future!”
“Manager Lin, you’re too kind.”
Wang Xiao smiled and stretched out three fingers to count the money.
“Aiyo! Look at my brain!”
Lin Xiang slapped his forehead in realization and hurriedly opened the interface to transfer the money.
“1.5 million?”
When Wang Xiao saw the extra money in his account, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Xiang. “There’s only one unit of Black Gold Ore in here that belongs to your shop, which is the last payment of 500,000 yuan. Why did you give me 1.5 million yuan?”
“This is naturally the deposit for the next time!”
Lin Xiang smiled and then said seriously, “I’ve already reported the [Black Gold Ore] to the main shop. The main shop takes this very seriously and wants me to build a good relationship with you.”
“Of course, we also know how rare the [Black Gold Ore] is, so although this one million yuan is a deposit, there won’t be a specific delivery time.”
“As long as you can prioritize the Lord’s Shop when you plan to sell the [Black Gold Ore] in the future, it’s fine. Moreover, every time you deliver the goods, we will pay another million star coins as a deposit.”
“Did I hear wrongly?”
Zhou Xiruo hid behind Wang Xiao and whispered, “Isn’t this giving away money for free?”
Wang Xiao naturally understood this logic, but he was not as shocked as Zhou Xiruo. The last time he saw the box full of purple resource balls, he knew how rich the Lord’s Shop was.
A million star coins sounded like a lot, but to the Lord’s Shop, it was just a drop in the bucket.
Moreover, “1 million star coins” was only the purchase price. If he placed the [Black Gold Ore] in the market, the price would definitely increase. Therefore, no matter what, the Lord’s Shop would still profit.
After thinking this through, Wang Xiao looked at Lin Xiang and said seriously, “We can cooperate, but the price of my goods has to fluctuate according to the market. If you don’t agree, I can only decline your kindness.”
This was not because Wang Xiao was greedy, but for the sake of the future.
After all, the Black Gold Ore was very rare to begin with. Moreover, as the number of mines decreased, the price of the Black Gold Ore would also rise. If Wang Xiao continued to sell it for a million star coins per unit, he would really lose too much.
Naturally, Lin Xiang also understood this principle. He nodded without thinking and said, “It’s naturally not a problem for the price to fluctuate, but I also want to ask clearly. Does this ‘fluctuation’ only apply when the price goes up but not when it goes down?
“If it fluctuates with the market, there will naturally be ups and downs.”
Wang Xiao chuckled and replied. His meaning was already quite clear. He did not want to suffer a loss, but he would not take advantage of the main shop.
Lin Xiang’s eyes quickly rolled because this condition was different from what he had expected. After all, which businessman didn’t want to earn more money?
However, after some consideration, Lin Xiang finally nodded. “No problem. We’ll do as you say!”
“Then I wish us a happy cooperation in advance!”
Wang Xiao chuckled and nodded. He was not surprised by this outcome at all. After all, the initiative was in his hands. As long as he did not make too many requests, the other party had no reason to refuse.
Then, the two sides signed a contract. Wang Xiao also officially became the supplier of the Lord’s Shop. Moreover, in order to build a good relationship with him, Lin Xiang specially gave him many privileges.
For example, other supply lords had to provide resources on time. Otherwise, they would be demoted or even stripped of their qualifications as supply lords.
As long as Wang Xiao could provide the [Black Gold Ore] every month, no matter how many there were, he could enjoy the various preferential treatment of the highest-level supply lord.
Not to mention Kaiyang City, even in the entire Blue Planet, Wang Xiao might be the only one with such treatment.
After discussing serious matters, the atmosphere between the few of them relaxed.
Lin Xiang raised his hand and called the shop assistant over. He said to Zhou Xiruo, “Lord Zhou, there are some new items in our shop that can be used as accessories. I think they’re very suitable for you. I wonder if you’re interested in taking a look?”
“Items that can be used as an accessory?”
Zhou Xiruo’s eyes lit up. Just as she was about to agree, she thought of something and looked at Wang Xiao. “After I obtained the production method of that thing, I bought a batch of materials…”
Wang Xiao instantly understood what Zhou Xiruo meant. He smiled bitterly and said helplessly, “Go and choose. Put it on my account!”
“Thank you, my lord! You’re the best!”
Zhou Xiruo cheered and could not wait to leave with the beautiful shop assistant.
“What a silly girl!”
Wang Xiao looked at Zhou Xiruo’s back and chuckled. Then, he looked at Lin Xiang and asked, “There’s no one else now. If you have something to say, just say it.”
“Mr. Wang has sharp eyes. I really can’t hide anything from you!”
Lin Xiang gave just the right amount of flattery. Then, he revealed a difficult expression. “It’s like this. The Lord’s Shop wants to ask Mr. Wang for a favor. As long as you agree, the one million star coins will be transferred to your account immediately. Moreover, you will be heavily rewarded after the matter is completed!”
“I’m not going.”
Wang Xiao shook his head without thinking.
Lin Xiang did not even say anything and immediately offered a high price of 1,000,000 star coins. Although he did not know what the “heavy reward” would be after the matter was completed, from the sound of it, it would definitely be worth more than 1,000,000 star coins.
With so much money, it was more than enough to hire a level five lord. Why did they have to find Wang Xiao, who had just advanced to level three?
Moreover, Wang Xiao and Ma Yunle had interacted quite a bit. He knew better than anyone the principle of “you get what you pay for”. A mission worth at least two million star coins was definitely not something that could be easily completed.
At the moment.
Lin Xiang clearly did not expect Wang Xiao to reject him so bluntly. He was stunned for a few seconds before hurriedly persuading, “Mr. Wang, don’t be in a hurry to reject me. Why don’t you listen to me before making plans?” “Manager Lin, I want to ask a question first.”
Wang Xiao interrupted Lin Xiang and extended a finger to ask, “Am I the only one who can do this?”
Lin Xiang hesitated for a moment before nodding. “You can understand it that way…”
“Then it’s not ‘it has to be me’?”
Wang Xiao immediately caught the main point of the other party’s words. Then, he spread his hands helplessly. “In that case, I can only let you find someone else. I know very well what level my strength is, so I don’t want to cause trouble for myself.”
Lin Xiang opened his mouth as if he wanted to persuade again, but in the end, he sighed as if he had accepted his fate. “Alright, I can find someone else, but I still want to ask you for something.”
Wang Xiao looked puzzled. “What is it?”
“That tool of yours that can change your appearance.”
Lin Xiang pointed at his face and explained helplessly, “I asked you for help mainly because you can change your appearance—since you don’t agree, I want to rent that item of yours.. How about 10,000 star coins a day?”
