After saying that, Xu Zhi simply stood up and walked out of the room, leaving the meeting room for the federation people to discuss.

Lin Zizhen was also quite considerate and did not stay, but followed Xu Zhi.

His attitude made the gazes of several federal officials linger on him for a moment. Everyone in the room was smart and naturally knew what his action meant.

"It seems that Lin Zizhen has rebelled."

"Humph, so what? With that little girl protecting him, what can you do to him?"

"This is a betrayal of the Federation!"

"Not necessarily. He can also serve as a bridge of communication between the Federation and Cloud City."

"It depends on how you choose."

The few of them just chatted briefly about Lin Zizhen, and then shifted the topic to more important matters, which was, of course, the ownership of Yuncheng.

Ten minutes later, Xu Zhi returned to the meeting room.

"Well, have you made a decision?"

The others in the conference room looked at the old man in the lead. The old man looked at Xu Zhi and nodded slightly: "We can agree, but the conditions still need to be discussed."

"For example, Ms. Xu, you made this wooden sign specifically for me. You must have a purpose for that, right?"

These guys really won't let go of any bargaining opportunity.

Xu Zhi nodded. "Of course. Although I can allow people to enter and exit Cloud City freely, the number of places is limited. After much thought, I think it would be more convenient to do it this way."

"So how many places does Miss Xu have?"

Xu Zhi looked up at Zhou Ren and said, "One thousand, one thousand for half a month."

This is probably the amount of authority she can currently delegate.

She also wants to keep some for herself.

"So how does Ms. Xu plan to allocate these 1,000 places?"

"If we agree to your request, what convenience can Miss Xu provide us?"

Xu Zhi was silent for a while after hearing this, then he asked in surprise: "Convenient?"

"What convenience?"

She finished speaking, and became surprised to become the other federal people.

"I didn't promise to give you any convenience, so don't try to trick me."

A group of old foxes trying to deceive a simple little girl like her.

"Could it be that even if we agree to Miss Xu's request, Miss Xu won't even offer us a single benefit?"

"What benefits?" Xu Zhi was puzzled. "You promised me compensation, it's only natural."

"Don't ask for too much."

The conference room fell silent again.

Seeing that this approach wasn't working, the Federation's people remained calm and changed their approach: "Since we have agreed to let Miss Xu take over Yuncheng, it is sufficient to prove our intention to form a friendly relationship with Yuncheng. So, does Miss Xu have any plans regarding the quota?"

Hinting to Xu Zhi to give them a cheaper price.

The Federation obviously knew that given Xu Zhi's personality, he would not give it away for free, and they were already prepared to spend money to buy it.

"One pass for ten advanced attribute cores." Xu Zhi said concisely.

“So expensive?!”

Yes, it’s that expensive.

Xu Zhi didn't think this made any sense, because she also felt it was a little expensive, but this did not affect her choice of this price.

“Isn’t this a bit too expensive?”

Xu Zhi blinked: "Yes, a little bit. You can buy fewer places and I will sell them to others who are willing to buy."

These words sound a bit coercive, and even a little shameless because of the monopoly.

As soon as she said this, the atmosphere, which had been slightly more harmonious due to the Federation's retreat, became tense again.

"Who else does Ms. Xu want to sell it to?"

This is not what the Federation wants to hear.

Xu Zhi said casually, "I don't know either. Let's see who is willing to pay for it when the time comes."

This was exactly what she planned. If the Federation was unwilling, she would sell it to someone else who was willing to buy it at a high price.

There will definitely be someone who wants this thing.

"Anyway, the Federation doesn't seem very willing to buy it?" Xu Zhi's tone was a little hesitant.

The federals repeatedly objected: "No, no, of course we're willing to buy it. Ten thousand cores, right? Can we trade today?"

"Ten thousand cores?"

"You want to buy them all?"

As soon as Xu Zhi said this, the people of the Federation felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, knowing that they were probably going to be slaughtered again.

Some people gritted their teeth quietly, feeling that Xu Zhi's profiteer face was really hateful, but they could do nothing about it.

"What does Miss Xu mean?"

The federals didn't want to play dumb with her anymore; they were tired.

"Buyout fee." Xu Zhi threw out three words.

The hearts of the others present sank: As expected.

This profiteer!

The old man smiled a sincere and bitter smile. "Please be merciful, Miss Xu. The Federation's core inventory is really running low."

And you took most of them away!

Of course, this sentence was not spoken out loud.

Finally, after about two hours of discussion, the contract was successfully negotiated.

Of course, Xu Zhi did not make any concessions. After all, she now has an absolute advantage and a monopoly.

The Federation will announce the news that Yuncheng belongs to Xu Zhi in three days, and will continue to broadcast it throughout the Federation for a period of time, so that all people in the Federation can know about this important change.

Xu Zhi only needs to provide a pass once every two weeks and take away the core. As for how the Federation distributes these passes, she does not interfere at all.

The high buyout fee can only last for one year. If the federal government wants to continue buying out after one year, it will have to pay a new buyout fee.

Simply put, Xu Zhi made a lot of money and lost money with this move.

At the end of the meeting, the eyes of these old guys were a little blank, and it seemed that they were a little uncomfortable with the pressure of such huge expenditure.

"So today ends happily?"

Xu Zhi's tone was cheerful, while the senior federal officials opposite him could only smile bitterly: "Yes, Miss Xu, please feel free to do as you please from now on."

"We will deliver the core you requested to the outskirts of Cloud City as soon as possible in three days. Please bring your pass with you when you arrive."

Xu Zhi nodded: "Okay."

She could understand that such a large amount of core funds needed to be raised.

After negotiating with the Federation and confirming that Lin Zizhen really wanted to be her younger brother, Xu Zhi readily agreed, and after he packed up his things, he took Lin Zizhen back to Yuncheng.

"From now on, you will be responsible for all matters concerning the Federation. If there is anything you cannot decide, ask Zhong Lingfan first. If Zhong Lingfan still cannot make a decision, then ask me."

Xu Zhi gave the order as he led his men back to the city center.

Lin Zizheng nodded. Although he didn't know who Zhong Lingfan was, since he appeared in Xu Zhi's mouth, he must be an important figure in Yuncheng, and he should be able to get to know him soon.

After leaving Lin Zizhen to Zhong Lingfan, Xu Zhi returned to his room.

She needs to concentrate on improving her strength and enter the next stage as soon as possible. It would be best if she could gain the strength to walk freely in the midnight so that she can more conveniently enter the midnight to explore the secrets.
