Chapter 162 Heart Fluttering
Chen Qing remained noncommittal about the blue and green quality of the soil, and did not speak up.
She did indeed lack these things, but why would she take the initiative to tell the other person?
A transaction is inherently a tug-of-war process; if one person gains the upper hand, another will inevitably be at a disadvantage.
The area covered by marine rocky soil in the plantation area is not large, only about a hundred acres, and much of it is still ordinary soil.
High-quality soil is a popular commodity in the world. If the planting area is too small, then we need to find ways to increase plant yield.
If Chen Qing wants to sell grains and other extraordinary plants, the existing planting area of the plantation is definitely not enough.
Many extraordinary plants require the creation of environments that simulate their suitable growth conditions; some extraordinary plants can occupy hundreds of acres with just one plant.
Although it is extremely rare, it is indeed a real thing.
To truly get the plantation operational, Chen Qing needs a large variety of extraordinary soils.
To be honest, for Chen Qing, a wider variety of green and blue soils would be more suitable than a single type of exceptional purple soil.
After all, many delicate and precious plants are very fragile, and they will die if there is even a slight change in the environment.
"Rest assured, I do have some authority to speak on the topic of blue and green soil."
"And there are also extraordinary plant seeds."
Su Nan continued.
Despite their family's business of selling grains and extraordinary plants, they don't mind selling their seeds to Chen Qing.
One Chen Qing wouldn't have much of an impact; compared to selling grain, Chen Qing probably wanted an extra layer of protection.
She doesn't like being controlled by others.
Compared to Chen Qing, the Wood Clan in the Plant Sea are their biggest competitors.
"Ten thousand hectares".
Chen Qing calmly uttered three words: 10,000 qing, which is one million mu.
Su Nan would definitely not agree to this condition; extraordinary soil is still very valuable.
The two would probably have to stall for a while longer. What Chen Qing really wanted was to buy more extraordinary plant seeds from Su Nan.
However, at this stage, neither side knows where the other's bottom line is, so they can only slowly test it little by little.
Regardless of what Su Nan was thinking, her smile remained unchanged; she wouldn't disrespect Chen Qing.
“Lord Chen Qing, ten thousand hectares is really too much.”
"My authority allows me to grant you a maximum of two thousand hectares."
A glint of light flashed in Su Nan's eyes as she held up two fingers.
"Can."
Chen Qing tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair. She agreed so readily, but Su Nan showed no joy.
She didn't think Chen Qing would be so agreeable. When it comes to one's own interests, who would give in so quickly? Nobody's stupid.
"But I need 500 centimeters."
In the extraordinary soil transactions of the deep blue sea, the generally accepted soil thickness is no more than fifty centimeters. Chen Qing's requirement of five hundred centimeters does not change the essence at all.
"Lord Chen Qing, most of the extraordinary soil in our Deep Blue Sea is controlled by the Wood Clan of the Plant Sea."
"Ten thousand acres? Even if I wanted to agree, I couldn't do it."
Su Nan was subtly trying to sow discord between Chen Qing and Chen Qing; she wasn't lying.
When it comes to the abundance of this type of resource, the plant sea has to be mentioned.
The resources of the Plant Sea are coveted by more than just the Su Nan family. Unfortunately, the Wood Clan of the Plant Sea is too powerful and united.
They are all for show, not for eating. Over the years, they have done a lot of trouble targeting the plant sea.
Su Nan wanted to buy the blueprints for the Explosive Battle Rabbit from Chen Qing for this very reason.
Compared to the cumbersome mechanical weapons in Treasure Sea, the bio-mechanical creations like the Beast Hunter Rabbit are much more useful.
"I won't lie to you, five thousand hectares, that really is the maximum authority I have."
Su Nan said sincerely.
Just listen to her sincerity and that's enough.
She just said that her maximum authority is two thousand hectares.
Moreover, Chen Qing's request of 10,000 hectares is really not much. If the soil of 10,000 hectares is used to plant extraordinary plants in the plantation area, it should be reduced by at least 10%.
If you're growing ordinary plants, then it's not necessary.
However, as Su Nan said, a large amount of extraordinary soil resources are in the hands of the Wood Clan of the Plant Sea.
If Su Nan hadn't been born on the Island of Wood, she wouldn't have been able to produce so much extraordinary soil.
When he has time, Chen Qing still needs to visit the Botanical Garden.
Su Nan observed Chen Qing's changing expressions without making a sound, but she couldn't discern anything.
Chen Qing... would probably be tempted, right?
Chen Qing, with her extraordinary ship, is a force to be reckoned with. If she were to lead the charge, then the others could all reap the benefits from behind.
"Lord Chen Qing, I can make concessions on extraordinary plant seeds, grain seeds, and medicines, but I really have no way to deal with extraordinary soil."
"You know those pirates, sigh—"
Those pirates come to cause trouble every few days. The Su Nan family is rich, but their strength is definitely no match for the pirate forces. They have to spend a lot of money every year to hire bounty hunters.
You also have to guard against hunters teaming up with pirates, which is really difficult.
As she spoke, Su Nan almost began to believe it herself.
However, Chen Qing didn't believe her complaints or acting skills at all.
"Ten thousand hectares".
Chen Qing stubbornly clung to this bottom line, refusing to let go, and emphasized the preciousness of the Battle Rabbit Hunter blueprint.
Give those mechanics a blueprint, and they can create countless miracles.
Compared to Chen Qing's solo efforts, the Azure Stone Wood Merchant Guild, with its vast wealth and connections, could mass-produce explosive battle rabbits in less than a month.
Other models of the Blast Rabbit Hunter will definitely emerge within three months and be sold to other factions.
This is something Chen Qing couldn't do, so they won't lose money on this deal.
"Lord Chen Qing..."
Su Nan smiled bitterly, still wanting to negotiate with Chen Qing a little longer.
She's a businesswoman, so the lower the cost, the better.
However, when the Explosive Rabbit Hunter carried an intruder's head into the reception room...
Her eyes were immediately drawn to his ferocious, blood-soaked appearance, like that of a wild beast.
The Boom Hunter Rabbit is truly a very good product. With its handsome appearance, off-the-charts combat power, and icy loyalty, it is a very trustworthy partner.
Look at what other people produce, and then look at what those mechanics in the Treasure Sea actually get—a bunch of ugly things.
The Explosive Hunter Rabbit could definitely fetch a high price if sold to nobles.
"..."
Su Nan was really torn. Reason told her that as long as she was willing to spend the time, the price could definitely be lowered further.
However, she was indeed very attracted to the Explosive Rabbit Hunter.
The sooner they get the Explosive Hunter Rabbit, the sooner they can start production.
Time is money.
"By the way, Explosive Rabbit Hunter, I want to retain the right to be credited."
Chen Qing suddenly said.
