Ye Chen's words made Sun Xiuzhu fall into deep thought. He didn't expect the other party to be so easy to talk to this time, and to directly authorize the manufacturing process of the Primordial Armor. He had previously prepared to waste a lot of time and effort on this.
"One-time authorization? At this price?" Sun Xiuzhu asked uncertainly. The potential of the Primordial Armor was obvious to all. It was definitely a money-making treasure. Would the other party be so kind as to authorize it all at once?
"If possible, it doesn't have to cost money!" Ye Chen said with a smile. Upon hearing this, Sun Xiuzhu's heart skipped a beat. Often, what's free is the most expensive! Sure enough, what Ye Chen said next made Sun Xiuzhu's heart skip a beat.
"As you know, we want to set up a multi-treasure trading website, but it's too difficult for just the two of us to actually get it up and running. So we hope that the official organization can operate it on our behalf. We will provide the multi-treasure trading platform needed for trading. Of course, we will definitely arrange the management ourselves and won't trouble you. How about the beautiful Si Meng from Wanwulou?"
"You guys have quite the appetite!" Sun Xiuzhu exclaimed after hearing Ye Chen's words.
How much manpower and resources does it take to operate a trading platform? He really doubted whether a single Primordial Armor could make up for it. Besides, it was obvious that the other party just wanted the official team to do the hard work; otherwise, why would they have arranged for a manager to be here?
Moreover, putting everything else aside, he still had a vague impression of the name Si Meng. She was the most popular newcomer in Wanwu Tower back then, but she disappeared after the newcomer trial. It seemed that she had been shelved by Wanwu Tower. It would take a lot of effort to get her out of Wanwu Tower.
Of course, compared to operating the Duobao trading website, this is really nothing, it's a trivial matter.
"Hehe! As long as you're bold enough, Sadako can take maternity leave!" Ye Chen laughed nonchalantly. However, Sun Xiuzhu didn't know who Sadako was, and probably wouldn't want to know her anyway.
“This is not a simple matter. I need to consult with Elder Qin. Also, you should be prepared that the authorities will try to gain a larger share of the benefits!” Sun Xiuzhu said with a frown.
"A 10% profit margin is the biggest concession we can make, after all, it's related to the Primordial Armor's revenue!" Ye Chen said seriously, making Sun Xiuzhu understand his determination. "In addition, the fourth-generation Primordial Armor is already showing promise. Give us a few decades, and maybe we can develop it!"
Ye Chen's pointed words stirred something in Sun Xiuzhu's heart. If the third-generation Primordial Armor was already so valuable, what about the fourth generation? It must possess even greater value. If they maintained a good relationship, they might be able to secure the authorization for the fourth-generation Primordial Armor in the future.
"I understand. You two sit here for a while, I'll go contact the higher-ups!" Sun Xiuzhu nodded solemnly. He, a high-ranking sixth-tier lord, had somehow become a mouthpiece for two new lords.
The call lasted quite a while, involving the exchange of interests and the overall coordination of the official forces. Even Elder Qin had to go and greet people. It took a whole afternoon before Sun Xiuzhu returned with a happy expression.
"It's done! The official platform will operate the Duobao Trading Network, taking 10% of the profits. However, you also need to keep up with the number of Duobao Trading Platforms!" Sun Xiuzhu said excitedly to the two of them.
"Hehe! Uncle Sun, what about Si Meng?" the fat man said, rubbing his hands together and chuckling as he looked at Sun Xiuzhu.
"You little rascal! Don't worry, he's just a new lord. You'll see him in a few days!" Sun Xiuzhu said with a laugh, which finally put the fat man's mind at ease.
"That's good! That's good!" the fat man said, patting his chest.
Neither he nor Ye Chen believed that Si Meng would betray them; otherwise, they would have already seen a high and mighty Si Meng appear before them.
Moreover, having met Jian Mengyi, Zhou Wenbin, and others, they knew that Si Meng had indeed been placed under house arrest and put on hold by the people of Wanwulou. Her clan was also confined to the territory, forced to perform basic manual labor, and all development within the territory was halted.
This is an enormous blow to a high-ranking lord, causing their territory's development to lag behind rapidly, thus widening the gap with others and making it impossible to catch up.
Therefore, after learning what had happened, Ye Chen and Fatty decided to rescue her as soon as possible. Their cooperation with the authorities also stemmed from this idea. As for the share that should have been given to Wanwu Tower, what difference did it make who it was? Since you didn't want it, we'd just give it to another faction.
Without Ye Chen and Fatty's Duobao Trading Network, it would be a piece of cake for the higher-ups of major forces to find a new young girl if they wanted to go out and pick her up.
"Furthermore, Elder Qin said that since we've started cooperating, whether you like it or not, you're now considered part of the officialdom. Besides, fighting against darkness is the duty of a lord. There just so happens that a plane is currently under invasion by darkness. After you've finished handing over your duties here, go to that plane and hone your skills!" With the cooperation settled, Sun Xiuzhu looked at the two of them and conveyed Elder Qin's message.
Upon hearing his words, the two were immediately delighted. Whether they could join the official forces was not important, but what they urgently needed was to use the official power to systematically conquer the dark world.
Both were new lords with limited access to information. Which world was being invaded by darkness? Which world was on the verge of collapse? They knew nothing. If they rashly ventured into the darkness, they would only become cannon fodder. If they encountered a plane shrouded in darkness, they might not even have a chance to escape.
Now that Elder Qin has pointed out a plane to them, it means that this plane is suitable for them to conquer at this time. The thirty years of development in the Cave of Time is only to consolidate the foundation. If they want to become a truly powerful lord, they still need to rely on continuous wars to build it up.
"Thank you, Elder Qin, and thank you, Uncle Sun!" Ye Chen and the fat man said with smiles. After thirty years of development, they were now in need of a major battle to test their strength.
"Alright, don't be so polite. Hurry up and pack your things. Once you've finished the handover, get going. The other new lords have been through quite a few battles lately!" Sun Xiuzhu waved his hand and said, feeling that he would be the go-between for a long time to come.
"Hehe, everything's ready. I'll give you the information as soon as the contract is signed!" the fat man said with a smile. They had anticipated this deal long ago and had discussed it countless times in the Cave of Time. The deal was not only approved by the two of them but also by Xia Qingyi and other Awakened Ones. Therefore, the information was already prepared and they were just waiting for the other party to come to them.
