Chapter 197
The other party has already said this, and if you continue to hold on to it, it will seem that they are petty and unreasonable.
"Let's talk about compensation." Fern picked up the compensation list that the Spirit had just handed over to him.
Frankly speaking, the conditions offered by the Spirit of Heaven were not bad.
But when it comes to compensation, it's all business, so naturally we can't just say how much it will be.
While Fern was negotiating with the Spirit, Tenolais was just eating and playing games on the laptop, and was of no use at all.
Tenolais didn't think it was a big deal. After all, it was always Fern who handled these things when he encountered them outside.
After much wrangling, they finally agreed to compensate them with 50 million star coins, including compensation for mental damages. They also agreed to give them the maximum discount psychic energy could offer. Tenolais would then sell the goods at the Kajin Trading House, taking a minimum commission of 2%.
The giant Qinglin Corporation is involved in both the black and white worlds, but its open business is still conducted in legitimate exchanges. Naturally, its distribution channels in the black market have their own unique capabilities.
Although Tenolais is one of the heirs of the Qinglin giant enterprise, he suffers from his young age and is not as involved in business as his brothers. It will be beneficial for him to cooperate with Zhiling.
Fifty million star coins were nothing to Zhi Ling. He suffered a bit of a loss on the commission, but it was worth it if he could appease Tenola Louis Qinglin.
As for the rest, there is no need to calculate the various subsidies given to help them solve the business that could not be completed due to the delay in the past few days.
Anyway, the loss is a foregone conclusion, so there is no point in calculating it.
Compared to all these, what Zhi Ling wants to do most now is to catch the mastermind behind the scenes... But the other party came prepared, how could he be caught so easily?
As it stands now, I'm doomed to suffer this loss.
Zhi Ling raised his hand and shook hands with Fern, and the agreement was reached.
He handed over an anonymous crystal card and said to Tenolais, "The compensation has been deposited into the card. Please accept it, young master."
Tenolais took it, not bothering to look at it, and put it in his pocket. He said to Fern, "We've finished talking about this, so we can go now."
Staying here for an hour was already his limit.
Fern signaled his young master to calm down, then turned and said, "President Zhiling, this Mr. Lu Ze is a friend of our young master. He wants to discuss some cooperation with you."
"But the young master and I have things to do, so we won't stay any longer."
Hearing this, Zhi Ling's gaze fell on Lu Ze who was standing beside him.
Since he came in until now, Zhi Ling finally looked at him straight in the eye.
Facing the gaze of Zhi Ling, Lu Ze smiled and nodded to the other party.
The spirit withdrew its gaze and said, "I can understand."
"Master Tenora Lewis, and Mr. Fern, I'll send someone to take you away right away."
Of course, it’s not about leaving the trading house, but about sending them away from the black market.
Having achieved their goal, the master and servant had no intention of staying any longer. They were anxious to return to the ground to handle the business they had come here to do.
Another thing is to investigate the mastermind behind the failure of the Kajin Trading House.
Even though others have said some things, you still have to investigate them yourself to avoid being deceived.
Fern thanked Zhiling: "Thank you for your help."
"Mr. Lu Ze, thank you very much for saving us."
"I should thank you very much, but we have to deal with other things right now..." Fern said sincerely with an apologetic look on his face.
Lu Ze smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, I understand."
Fern thanked him, "Thank you very much for your understanding. Young Master and I will leave first. I believe that your cooperation with President Zhiling will be very smooth."
Zhi Ling had no impression of the name Lu Ze. The time between learning about Lu Ze's existence and meeting him was too short, and he had no time to find out Lu Ze's background.
However, in front of Fern, Zhi Ling would certainly not reject this so-called cooperation outright.
"Since he is the benefactor of Master Tenola Louis, our Kajin Trading Company will definitely attach great importance to the cooperation proposed by Mr. Lu Ze. You two can rest assured."
As the spirit spoke, he stood up and saw them off.
After a while, Zhi Ling returned to the living room and looked at Lu Ze, who seemed very calm from the beginning.
"Mr. Lu Ze, I didn't expect that you could make friends with the giant Qinglin Corporation." Zhi Ling sat down opposite him and tried to test him.
"It was just a coincidence that I met them and helped them." Lu Ze smiled, "I didn't expect that Master Tenola Louis would be so kind and willing to make friends with me."
He did not believe a single word the Spirit said to him.
"Not just anyone can lend a hand in times of crisis." If that were the case, then they were underestimating the guards employed by their trading house.
Lu Ze smiled without saying anything. His mysterious look made Zhi Ling unsure of what cards he had.
He didn't realize how strong Lu Ze was. Either Lu Ze was just an ordinary person, or he was stronger than him so he couldn't feel it.
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Zhi Ling decided to temporarily put aside his suspicion of Lu Ze and focus on the present.
"I wonder what kind of cooperation Mr. Lu Ze wants to discuss with us?"
"I just hope that President Zhiling can introduce me to a few auctions this trading month." Lu Ze playfully put forward his request, and then said: "In return, I can help President Zhiling solve this urgent problem."
The Spirit of Zhi: "...I would like to hear the details."

"Major General, the fleet has completed its rest and can return at any time."
"Then let's go."
In the star port where the Ikal civilization fleet is anchored, a fleet is slowly sailing out and heading towards the depths of the starry sea.
Aesop took a deep breath, and thought of the task he had received from that 'person' not long ago, with a hint of bitterness in his eyes.
This time I will really become a sinner of the main civilization.
However, what is even more terrifying is that even so, I still can't muster up the slightest thought of resistance.
A few days ago, the goods that Aesop was responsible for escorting arrived at the star port. After being handed over to the Ka Jin Trading House, Aesop's mission was completed.
Because he had not received the order from Admiral Kadar to return these days, he had been resting in place, while also secretly paying attention to the movement of this batch of goods.
But unfortunately, since his duties did not involve any subsequent matters related to goods transactions, there has been no progress in this regard.
Until three days ago.
They finally received the order from Admiral Kadar ordering them to return, and along with the order came the task of transporting supplies.
The supplies are urgently needed by the main civilization. Returning to report is secondary. The most important thing is to transport this batch of supplies back safely.
When Aesop received the supplies, he saw the list of supplies and was a little surprised to see that the quantity far exceeded any previous shipment. He wondered when the main civilization could come up with so much foreign exchange to buy these things.
He also saw data on several cutting-edge energy technologies. Not only were these things more expensive than those materials, they were also very difficult to buy.
After indirect inquiries, we learned that there was a problem with the Ka Jin Trading Company. Although we don't know what the specific problem is, it is said that in addition to not charging commission for this transaction, they also gave the green light to the technology purchase.
——That’s how those black technologies came about.
Also because the things being transported this time are of great importance to the main civilization, Admiral Kadar asked them to set off immediately after receiving the supplies without any delay.
Something happened to the Ka Jin Trading Company?
Aesop was skeptical.
This wasn't the first time their civilization had collaborated with the Kajin Trading House. Everything had gone smoothly before, but why had something gone wrong this time? It was hard for him not to suspect Lu Ze was involved.
I thought that Lu Ze hadn't been active these days because he had forgotten about me... I didn't expect that just as I received the order to return, Lu Ze's mission also arrived.
If there was a choice, and Aesop really didn't want to go back, the order Lu Ze issued to him would definitely disturb the peace of the main civilization.
Unfortunately, as a subordinate, Aesop could only obey orders.
Forget it, at least I'm far away from the Western Ring Star Belt, and whatever happens here in the future has nothing to do with me.
And without me, Lu Ze would not be able to get close to Admiral Kadar, so Admiral Kadar should be safe.
Aesop comforted himself in his heart that if there was one less main civilization, there would be less risk of the former being parasitized. If there were more, it would be beyond his ability to change.
