Chapter 312 The Feng Family
Feng Hongyu laughed heartily, "Are you praising me or teasing me, girl? I don't believe you don't know why I'm here."
Feng Linlin was next to her father, tugging at the hem of his clothes and shaking it vigorously, her little feet stamping anxiously.
Gu Qing chuckled, "Uncle, you've misunderstood me. The mercenary groups in our Federation are developing so well-organized and orderly now. You deserve a lot of credit for that."
Everyone laughed again, and when the laughter subsided, Gu Qing said softly, "I really can't figure out why you came here."
Hearing Gu Qing's reply and feeling the tugging on his clothes, Feng Hongyu couldn't help but reflect on whether he had spoiled his daughter too much.
However, now was not the time to dwell on such things. Sensing the subtle gazes around him, he decided to stop being coy.
"I came here today to buy some high-grade sulfur gold ore and a small piece of mineral marrow from you, so I can make a custom mecha for my daughter."
He's been spoiled since childhood, and now that he's awakened and has spiritual power, he's tormented me beyond recognition. I hope Purifier Gu will grant me this favor.
As he spoke, he stretched out his thumb and pinched the pad of his finger to indicate the size of the mineral marrow. It was so small that it could only be used for inlaying. If it was to be used for nurturing mineral veins, it would have to be at least 35 centimeters long, wide, and high.
The larger the volume of the mineral marrow, the shorter the time it takes to nurture the vein, and the higher its quality. The piece in Gu Qing's hand was over one meter in length, width, and height.
Compared to the piece Feng Hongyu wanted, the piece in the space was a drop in the ocean, but she wanted to maximize her benefits no matter what, so she pretended to frown in difficulty.
Shouwei raised his voice slightly and said, "Uncle, although I did obtain the Flowing Gold Marrow, it is not large in size. Giving you such a small piece would be enough, but I'm afraid of opening this hole."
You know I have limited experience; I even have to think twice before refusing someone.
Upon hearing this, Chairman Feng immediately understood that Gu Qing wanted a favor, and not just a simple one, since the other party had mentioned that her background was shallow.
So, the favor you've done should at least help her solidify her foundation! Plus, all these people around are watching! He needs to raise the price of this small piece of mineral marrow.
To avoid word getting out that he set a precedent, making it difficult for others to refuse them.
So he said in a loud voice, "Since you call me uncle, I can't be stingy. I have a small mercenary group under my command, and we've just discovered a planet that can be mined."
Although that planet is experiencing a mini ice age, it is nearing the end and it is believed that it will be able to be mined in a few years.
"If possible, I hope to mine with you, Gu Qing."
Before Gu Qing could react, low gasps of surprise came from all around.
Gu Qing couldn't help but laugh this time. This person, who seemed so careless, was actually very thoughtful. Look at the timing of the mining operation; it was practically tailor-made for her.
Of course, it also depends on whether she has the ability to build a reliable team for herself within a few years.
When others heard him set this condition, they felt a pang of heartache and were too embarrassed to ask for a bargain.
The two exchanged a knowing look and that was the end of it.
It was almost time, and the group had gathered enough information, so everyone could sit down and have a proper talk.
When Gu Qing sat down in the main seat, she couldn't help but laugh at everyone's seating arrangement. These people were clearly aware of their place. For example, the Gao family, followed by the Ye family, the Luo family, and the Miao family—those with more ambitious plans—sat on one side.
The rest sat on the other side.
Wen Siyu from the Wen family came by himself, but seeing that the other party was absent-minded, it seemed that the relationship between the two had not improved.
"I know everyone is here for mineral marrow. Although the amount of mineral marrow is limited, I can still divide a portion and trade it."
"The items are limited, so it's up to the highest bidder." Gu Qing said bluntly, and everyone else looked at each other, waiting for someone to step forward.
Only Feng Hongyu sat there calmly, his tough demeanor standing out among the group.
The first to speak was Qiu Xiao, "Since that's the case, sister-in-law, then I'll reserve a piece from you. As you know, my Qiu family is a merchant family with high resource mobility."
So if you need anything, just tell me.
His words were quite grand, mainly because he and Bo Chuan were half-brothers, and the Qiu family certainly had the right to say such things.
Hearing this, Shen Dongling shook his head helplessly. The entire Shen family was involved in politics, so their resources naturally couldn't compare to the Qiu family's. What they had in abundance was their network of connections.
