Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The three of them looked at each other. This rule was too overbearing. As expected, the Chamber of Commerce was a master of cannibalism.

One million buys the legal rights to breed and sell, but the Xueyu Chamber of Commerce only provides 10,000 fire rat babies. How long will it take to get back the money!

Based on the selling price of ten spirit stones for an adult fire rat, one hundred thousand fire rats would be needed to earn back the one million spirit stones. It takes about seven or eight years from cub to adult.

Tangning asked: "How is the reproductive ability of the Fire Rat?"

Yu Chengfeng said: "The reproductive ability is very strong. A litter can give birth to five or six fire rats. On average, each female fire rat can give birth to one or two times in her life."

In this case, it is barely acceptable. Ten thousand fire rats can grow into one hundred thousand in about ten to twenty years.

In other words, within twenty years, it will be a loss, and after twenty years, it will start to make profits.

Qi Mingyu asked: "Is the initial investment high in raising fire rats?"

Yu Chengfeng said: "The initial investment is mainly in the construction of the molten pool, which may be a little troublesome. It needs to open up the bottom of the volcano and introduce the lava into the pond. The reproduction of fire rats needs to be in a hot environment, and the lava from the volcano is very hot. A good place to breed.”

Tang Ning asked: "If our sect buys your Chamber of Commerce's Fire Rat, will the sales channel problem be solved for us?"

Yu Chengfeng said: "This is natural. Without our help, you wouldn't be able to sell it." You only need to send the adult fire rats here, then label them with the name of our Chamber of Commerce, and transport them to the inland for sale. Of course, you will have to pay for the transportation costs. "

Pan Chengyuan asked: "What are the taboos that need to be paid attention to when raising fire rats?"

Yu Chengfeng said: "Fire rats can only live in hot environments. Once they are left for too long, they will die suddenly. Especially when they are young, they are extremely fragile. Special attention must be paid to ensuring that the temperature of the lava cannot be too high."

"So we have to prepare a molten pool specifically for nurturing cubs. The temperature should be controlled at about half that of an ordinary molten pool. The young fire rats will grow in the low-temperature molten pool for one year before they can be sent to an ordinary molten pool."

Tang Ning asked: "Since the fire rat cannot leave the hot environment, how can it be transported to the interior of Qingzhou?"

Yu Chengfeng said: "It can be loaded into a sealed box together with the magma and escorted over."

The three of them asked for a long time, but Yu Chengfeng was very patient, telling everything he knew and answering them one by one. After that, he led the three of them to visit various places, including the molten pool that was specially used to cultivate spirit beast cubs. The Xue Jade Chamber of Commerce arranged several cooling formations to cover the molten pool as a molten pool for the young rats.

According to Yu Chengfeng, female fire rats who are pregnant with rat pups will take the initiative to come from the high-temperature molten pool to the pup rat pool to wait for delivery.

Everyone stayed here for about an hour or two. At dusk, after leaving the formation, the Aurora Boat took everyone into the sky and returned to Xueyu Inn at around midnight.

At night, the pale-faced man led Peng Wanli, Shi Xuan, and Zhou Xuanyong to Zhang Julai's residence.

Although it was late at night, the lights were still brightly lit in the attic, and birds were singing and dancing.

Zhang Julai leaned on the Taishi chair, listening to the music of silk and bamboo, and shook his head while holding a wine glass.

The pale-faced man walked straight in and sat down to drink. Peng Wanli and the others did not dare to be so presumptuous, so they just waited outside the door.

Just one tune! Zhang Julai opened his eyes, drank the entire cup in one gulp, and waved his hand.

The maids filed away.

Peng Wanli and the others entered and bowed: "I've met the seniors."

"Sit down! Sit down!" Zhang Julai waved his hand.

The three of them sat down as instructed.

"How's it going? Let's go to the spirit beast breeding place today! What do you think?"

Peng Wanli said: "It can be said to be spectacular. We, who live in poor alleys, have never seen such a large-scale spiritual beast breeding ground."

"Yes." Zhang Julai nodded: "Spiritual beasts are just a small business for this chamber of commerce. Although I am responsible for protecting the law, these affairs have always been taken care of by Wen Xun. If you hadn't come all the way, It’s not easy to come here, and I don’t want to get involved in such matters.”

Zhou Xuanyong said: "Thank you, senior, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet us in person. This junior is deeply honored."

Zhang Julai said: "You have also seen the place where spirit beasts are bred. Let us explain what we have to say! If you want to replace the Demonic Sect in Xingang, there is no problem in raising fire rats. The key depends on how sincere you are and what price you are willing to pay. . I believe you should have the answer after this day of thinking!”

Peng Wanli said: "Senior, let's talk quickly. We won't hide it any more. Yesterday, the three juniors discussed it and decided to add an additional 10% to the 50% profit. This is the highest price that the juniors can offer. . After all, there are transportation costs and upfront investment costs. If it is higher, we really can’t accept it. Let the seniors decide.”

Zhang Julai tapped his fingers on the table: "60% profit, let me think about this again!"

Peng Wanli said: "Junior, I dare to ask, when can senior give me an accurate answer?"

Zhang Julai said: "Our chamber of commerce is engaged in business, and we pay attention to rules and integrity. When we agreed to hand over the fire rats to the Demon Sect in Xingang for breeding, the two parties also signed a contract. Now we have to kick them away. Let’s do it for you.”

"According to regulations, we need to compensate for breach of contract fees, otherwise, they can sue us at the Business Alliance. Although the profit you offer is higher than them, but including the payment of breach of contract fees, it does not seem to be cost-effective for us. , at least not cost-effective in the short term.”

"I need to think more about this matter. Let's do this! Anyway, you are not just cooperating with our chamber of commerce. You also have to go to chambers of commerce on other islands. When you return, I will give you an accurate answer."

"You also need to shop around! Our business is business, and friendship is friendship. If you have reached an agreement with other merchants and are not going to cooperate with the Xueyu Chamber of Commerce when you come back, we can still have a drink and have a good time."

The three of them looked at each other, and Zhou Xuanyong said, "In that case, I won't bother you any more, I'll take my leave."

Zhang Julai nodded.

The three of them came out of the attic and turned into light. After a while, they returned to the room of Xueyu Inn.

Shi Xuandao: "It seems like he is not prepared to cooperate with us. I don't think we can count on him."

Zhou Xuanyong sighed: "This old fox probably had no intention of kicking away the Demon Sect and cooperating with us from the beginning. He welcomed us in person and warmly entertained us, and then invited us to see the origin of its spirit beasts. He just used us to create tension for the Demon Sect. , to increase the chips in hand, thereby squeezing the profits of the Demon Sect, we were fooled by him. "

Peng Wanli said: "People are slaves and fish, and the initiative is in their hands. To put it bluntly, in his eyes, we are just kneeling down to beg for food. Hey! Who makes Xingang Xuanmen weak? We have to act based on other people's faces. Woolen cloth!"

The three of them were speechless for a moment. This trip to Qinghai was extremely frustrating. First they encountered a problem on Sky Island, and now they were toyed with and applauded on Huangyi Island. It can be said that the start of the training is very unfavorable. As a result, the three of them were worried about their future trip.

The next day, Tang Ning and others received orders from Peng Wanli, left the Xueyu Chamber of Commerce, took off in the Aurora Boat, and headed to the southeast.

On the Dharma boat, Yin Qingyuan asked: "Uncle Master, where are you going this time?"

Peng Wanli said: "Next stop, Tianfu Island."

Xie Lang said: "The negotiation is over so soon? Will the Xueyu Chamber of Commerce agree to cooperate?"

Peng Wanli said: "They said they need to consider it, but I guess it's impossible."

Everyone was slightly surprised when they heard this. Yesterday, everyone went to the Xueyu Chamber of Commerce's spirit animal breeding place to observe the production. Seeing his enthusiastic attitude, they all thought that the negotiation was progressing smoothly and the two sides would cooperate. Unexpectedly, there was still no agreement. .

Tangning asked tentatively, "Is it because the price they asked was too high that they didn't negotiate?"

Peng Wanli shook his head: "You can say that, but it's not just the price."

Yin Qingyuan asked: "Why is that?"

Peng Wanli said: "The Xue Jade Chamber of Commerce has a monopoly on the breeding and trading of fire rats in Qinghai. The Demon Sect followed their path and bought fire rat babies from here to breed, and then sold them to Qingzhou through their channels. The inland sects, Xueyu Chamber of Commerce, have no intention of kicking out the Demon Sect, so they cannot cooperate with us."

Everyone already knew this yesterday. The fire rat is a spiritual beast bred by the Crescent Sect, but what does this have to do with them? Could it be that the Demon Sect can’t buy it if it buys the Xuanmen?

Tang Ning asked: "Why can't the Xue Jade Chamber of Commerce cooperate with the Demon Sect and us? We all breed separately and there is no conflict."

Peng Wanli said: "This involves the rules between chambers of commerce. I can't explain it in one or two sentences. Simply put, the quota is limited. The Demon Sect has taken up all the quota for breeding fire rats, so we do not have the right to breed fire rats."

Everyone became even more confused after hearing this. It was simply unheard of to say that there were quotas for business transactions, and they couldn't help but become curious.

Yin Qingyuan said: "Please tell me, Uncle Master, what does this limited quota mean?"
