Seeing that Zhou Xiruo no longer objected, Wang Xiao looked at the long string of numbers again. Then, he looked at Lin Xiang and said solemnly, “Manager Lin, I want these resources, but there’s something I want to discuss with you.”
“You want the resources?!”
Lin Xiang was stunned when he heard this. Then, he was overjoyed!
One had to know that this was a huge transaction worth more than 100 billion!
As long as this deal was completed, Lin Xiang would become the champion of this year and even the next ten years. He might even be transferred back to the headquarters and directly enter management!
The opportunity to fulfill his long-cherished wish was right in front of him. The corners of Lin Xiang’s mouth curled up to his ears.
After laughing foolishly for a long time, Lin Xiang finally came back to his senses. He waved his hand and said generously, “You want to talk about the discount, right? Don’t worry! I’ll definitely do my best to help you get the greatest discount!”
“Thank you in advance then, Manager Lin!”
Wang Xiao cupped his hands sincerely. Without waiting for Lin Xiang to speak, he changed the topic, “But I want to discuss something else.”
“Something else?”
Lin Xiang was stunned when he heard this. Looking at Wang Xiao’s sincere appearance, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his ecstatic heart.
He didn’t have as much interaction with Wang Xiao as Zhou Xiruo, but he had seen this expression a few times. And every time this happened, it was almost nothing good.
As soon as this thought appeared, Lin Xiang realized that Zhou Xiruo was also a little strange. The expression on her face was a little awkward, but she was more guilty.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Lin
Xiang couldn’t help but become vigilant. He narrowed his eyes and sized up Wang Xiao, probingly asking, “What do you want to discuss?”
“It’s still about the money, of course.”
Wang Xiao chuckled and pointed at the long string of numbers on the list. “I can accept this price, but I don’t have that much money for the time being, so can I give a down payment and pay the rest in installments?”
“Down payment? In installments?”
Lin Xiang was stunned by Wang Xiao’s suggestion, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was normal. After all, the total price was more than 100 billion. Other than those prominent families in the world, probably not many people could take it out at once.
Although there was no precedent for the Lord’s Shop, it was not impossible to make an exception in front of a business worth more than 100 billion.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiang sighed and nodded slightly. “I can talk to the headquarters, but how much can you take out?”
Wang Xiao thought for a moment and stretched out three fingers.
“Thirty percent?”
Lin Xiang frowned and muttered thoughtfully, “If it’s 30 billion... we should be able to negotiate.”
Wang Xiao looked embarrassed. “No, I don’t have that much.”
“That’s three billion?”
Lin Xiang’s frown deepened. “If we want to negotiate a three percent deposit,
“Not that much.”
Wang Xiao pursed his lips and said awkwardly, “Xiruo and I have about 30 million in total.”
“What?!”
Lin Xiang exclaimed and his eyes almost popped out!
Wang Xiao could only take out a deposit of 30 million coins for a business deal worth 118,597,000,000 coins. This was simply not even enough!
Without any hesitation, Lin Xiang stood up and opened the office door. “Brother Wang, I’ll just treat it as chatting with you here. If you still treat me as a friend, we’ll stop here today. Don’t mention it again in the future!”
Seeing that Lin Xiang was sending him off, Zhou Xiruo had already expected this. She spread her hands and said, “See, I told you there was no chance!” “Whether there’s a chance or not, we’ll know after we talk!”
Wang Xiao smiled nonchalantly and pulled Lin Xiang back to the sofa. “Manager Lin, don’t be anxious. I’m not done yet...’
“You don’t have to say anything!”
Lin Xiang waved his hand without even listening. “Isn’t 30 million an insult for more than 100 billion coins of resources? If I use this number to negotiate with the headquarters, do you believe that they won’t kick me all the way from the Holy Capital to Kaiyang City?” n(/0VElbIn
“I believe you, but I’m not done yet!”
Wang Xiao patted Lin Xiang’s back to signal him to calm down. Then, he connected to his territory and took out a [Black Gold Ore]. “I’ll use [Black Gold Ores] to repay the rest. How about that?”
“[Black Gold Ores]?”
Lin Xiang raised his eyebrows. At the same time, he calculated in his heart. A unit of [Black Gold Ore] was worth about 10 million. Ten units would be 100 million... 118 billion was more than 10,000 units!
“Impossible!”
Lin Xiang shook his head again without saying anything. “I’m not saying that this matter can’t be discussed. It’s just that there’s no way you can take out so much [Black Gold Ore]. Do you know how much [Black Gold Ore] is produced every year on the entire Blue Planet?”
Wang Xiao thought for a moment and replied, “About 20,000 units?”
“So how do you expect me to believe you?”
Lin Xiang spread his hands helplessly. “Moreover, more than 20,000 units is already considered a good harvest. Most of the time, it’s only slightly more than 10,000 units. Not to mention that the main production area of the [Black Gold Ore] is controlled by the military. Ordinary lords don’t even have the right to mine it!”
“Even if you can find the [Black Gold Ore] in other secret realms, how much can you get? How many years do you plan to use to clear more than 10,000 units of [Black Gold Ore]? 10 years? 20 years?”
“Three days.”
Wang Xiao said firmly without thinking, “As long as this batch of resources is in place, 10,000 units of [Black Gold Ore] will definitely be handed over within three days!”
Lin Xiang looked at the serious Wang Xiao and suddenly felt his mind go blank. Even Zhou Xiruo had a subtle expression on her face. She looked at Wang Xiao as if she was looking at a fool.
“Are you crazy?”
A few minutes later, Zhou Xiruo was the first to ask, “To bring 10,000 units of
[Black Gold Ore] in three days. Do you know what you’re talking about?”
“Of course. Three days, 10,000 units of [Black Gold Ore].”
Wang Xiao repeated word by word. His strong confidence made it seem as if he already had 10,000 units of [Black Gold Ore].
As long as he obtained this batch of resources and upgraded himself, he would be able to obtain a new ten thousand times increase. According to his previous experience, a “then thousand times increase in numbers” was almost guaranteed every time.
What Wang Xiao needed to do was to collect as much [Black Gold Ore] as possible within three days.
He already had one in his hands. Even if he could only collect one unit, it would still be 20,000 units after the ten thousand times enhancement. It was more than enough to settle the bill. If he could collect more, he might even be able to earn resources to advance to level five!
It was precisely because he had the trump card of “Ten Thousand Times
Increase System” that Wang Xiao dared to talk about the down payment. Otherwise, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he would not dare to ask for a deposit of only 30 million for resources worth more than 100 billion!
The only pity was that neither Zhou Xiruo nor Lin Xiang knew about this system.
Hearing Wang Xiao’s bold words, Zhou Xiruo and Lin Xiang looked at each other. Lin Xiang pursed his lips and whispered, “You should take him to the hospital first. If you delay any longer, the doctor will be ending work soon...”
“I can sign a [Contract]!”
