This is much better than encountering an inflexible immortal cultivator who won't even give you a chance to negotiate a business deal.
Right now, at least there's an opportunity to talk to Ye Liang, isn't there?
Ye Liang followed him into the main hall, where they sat down and chatted over tea.
Meng Gu, somewhat impatient, took a sip of tea and went straight to the point, asking Ye Liang, "We'd like to acquire your mining rights, young man. We're wondering if you're willing to sell. If so, please name your price. We can discuss it whether it's equity or the ore sold by weight. Do you understand what I mean?"
Few cultivators understand business. Meng Gu himself didn't know whether Ye Liang, who appeared to be a great cultivator, understood the concept of "dry shares."
"Ye Liang, what is 'phantom stock'?" As expected, the junior sister didn't understand and quietly asked Ye Liang.
Ye Liang wasn't surprised and immediately smiled, explaining carefully to her: "It means we take the ownership of the mine as capital and partner with them to mine. We split the profits according to our shareholding ratio. If it's 50/50, the profits are split evenly. Because we don't need to put in any capital, we just hand over the mine to them for mining and we can wait to collect the money from the sales, so it's called 'dry share'. If we still need to put in capital, then it's a normal partnership."
"Oh, I see." As soon as Ye Liang said that, the clever junior sister immediately understood what the so-called "dry shares" were all about.
"Young man, you are indeed very knowledgeable." Seeing that Ye Liang was truly knowledgeable, Meng Gu was also very pleased and immediately asked anxiously, "What do you think, young man?"
When asked, Ye Liang calmly replied to Meng Gu, "Brother Meng, how much limonite do you need this time?"
Meng Gu was somewhat puzzled by Ye Liang's question, wondering why he would care about such a thing. However, he still cautiously replied, "Right now, we need several thousand kilograms of limonite. But if we can cooperate long-term, we would certainly be happy to see it happen. I wonder what you mean by that, young brother?"
Ye Liang smiled and said, "If what you urgently need right now is just a few thousand catties of limonite, Brother Meng, just go ahead and mine it. Consider it as me giving you a few thousand catties of limonite directly. However, please be careful when you mine, Brother Meng, and don't damage the grasslands of my Immortal Gate Mountain Range."
Is this really how business is conducted?
That's really generous!
I thought Ye Liang, being so savvy in business, would ask for an exorbitant price.
However, the more this seemed to be the case, the more worried Meng Gu, a seasoned veteran of the martial world, became about potential pitfalls and dared not venture in. He asked with concern, "Of course, that's fine. But I wonder why you're being so generous to us, young brother. Giving away thousands of catties of limonite ore in one go. Although iron ore isn't gold, it's not cheap because it can be used to forge weapons and armor. That's a deal worth hundreds of gold coins. Are you just giving it away like that?"
Ye Liang laughed and said, "Why not? It's just a business deal worth a few hundred gold coins and a few thousand kilograms of limonite. I think this gift is too light, even if it's just to make a friend."
That's really something only a super-rich young master would say.
Meng Gu had been traveling the world and doing business for many years, and he had never seen such a generous and open-minded businessperson before. Not to mention, the person in front of him was just a young man. He looked very young, yet he already had such a grand vision and such a large-scale business. It was truly amazing!
