The newcomer was a short-haired youth of average height. He wore a Daoist robe unique to the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. He looked energetic, and his small eyes exuded a sense of shrewdness.
His short hair, in particular, was gelled. Under the afterglow of the sky, it shone brightly. If one looked at it from afar, he would look like a bright lamp. It was a very exaggerated sight.
Right now, he was standing outside Wang Baole's cave abode, looking at Wang Baole, whose face was filled with shock and disbelief. With a smile on his face, he coughed. First, he touched his hair, then cupped his fists and bowed deeply to Wang Baole.
"Senior Brother Baole, it's been a long time."
This unique hairstyle, these shrewd eyes, this person was … Wang Baole's partner in the Ethereal Dao College, Xie Haiyang!
This made Wang Baole's mind buzz. He even had the illusion that he wasn't in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, but in the Ethereal Dao College.
At the same time, he remembered that when he returned to the Ethereal Dao College, Chen Yutong had mentioned Xie Haiyang. She had said that this person had gone missing, and even if Chen Yutong used the Dao College's connections, she couldn't find him. However, Wang Baole never expected to see Xie Haiyang here!
Even after so many years, Xie Haiyang's appearance hadn't changed at all. He still looked like a businessman. At this moment, he was looking at Wang Baole with a smile. His eyes shone as if he had seen a business opportunity.
After a long time, Wang Baole barely suppressed the shock in his heart. He looked at Xie Haiyang carefully and realized that his cultivation was the same as before. It was just that he was an Ancient Martial Artist. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. Naturally, he realized that this person's background was very mysterious. It was highly likely that he had snuck into the Federation from the Vast Expanse Dao Palace.
Although he had a guess, Wang Baole couldn't help but ask.
"You … Why are you here?"
Xie Haiyang coughed and touched his hair, which was covered in gelled hair. He smiled innocently.
"Senior Brother Baole, this is a secret … You see, I haven't figured out how to tell you. Anyway, Senior Brother Baole, remember one thing. I told you back then … Wherever there's a business opportunity, there's me, Xie Haiyang! In particular, Senior Brother Baole, you are a big customer with great potential. Naturally, I have to pay close attention to you. "
Wang Baole rubbed the bridge of his nose. Although he had managed to suppress the shock in his heart, it still rose up occasionally. There was something mysterious about Xie Haiyang, and even a bold idea popped into his mind ….
Was Xie Haiyang really from the Vast Expanse Dao Palace as he had guessed?
In the silence, Wang Baole's eyes narrowed. As for Xie Haiyang, he seemed to have sensed Wang Baole's many thoughts, so after a sigh, he once again cupped his fists and bowed to Wang Baole.
"Senior Brother Baole, you don't have to think so much. I, Xie Haiyang, am a businessman. You know what businessmen are, right? We've dealt with each other many times. You have to have a certain level of trust in me."
"I'm here today to pay a visit to Senior Brother Baole. On the other hand, I want to do business with Senior Brother Baole." Xie Haiyang smiled slightly. His eyes narrowed, and he didn't hide his shrewdness as a businessman.
"What business?" Wang Baole took a deep breath and completely suppressed all the thoughts in his heart. He knew very well that it was hard to get an answer to this. At the same time, after interacting with Xie Haiyang for so many years, everything that he had done was in line with his self-proclaimed business. Therefore, he looked over.
"Senior Brother Baole, I, Xie Haiyang, still have some power in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. Just as I said to you in the past, in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, there's nothing that I, Xie Haiyang, don't know about. There's nothing that I, Xie Haiyang, can't do!"
"These words are still valid in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. Even if you want Elder Feng Qiuran's underwear, as long as the price is right, I, Xie Haiyang, can get it for you!" Xie Haiyang's expression was filled with pride. As he spoke, he touched his hair that was full of gel, looking as if he was very powerful.
However, when Wang Baole heard this, he felt a headache coming on. He thought to himself, Why would I want Feng Qiuran's underwear … However, for some reason, Feng Qiuran's face appeared in his mind. This gave Wang Baole a fright, and he quickly said with a straight face.
"Let's get down to business!"
When he heard Wang Baole's words, Xie Haiyang chuckled. After looking left and right, he lowered his head and spoke to Wang Baole.
"Senior Brother Baole, your holy boat business … Based on how popular it is now, and based on my understanding of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, you can only do it for a month at most. Even if that fatty Yunpiaozi vouches for you, it won't last more than three months before it's bought by the sect!"
"Furthermore, it's a compulsory purchase. You have to sell it even if you don't want to. That's why … your business can only earn quick money!" Xie Haiyang said softly as he analyzed Wang Baole's spirit boat business based on his understanding.
Wang Baole's expression was normal, but a glint flashed across his eyes. In fact, he had a rough idea of the situation, and he knew that his business wouldn't last long. However, he didn't expect Xie Haiyang to predict that it would only last for a few months.
"Continue," Wang Baole said after thinking for a while.
"That's why, Senior Brother Baole, your spirit boat business needs to earn as many battle credits as possible in the shortest amount of time. That's the best way to do it, so that you won't lose everything … However, to achieve this, you have to produce more spirit boats as soon as possible!" Xie Haiyang's eyes shone with a strange light as he looked at Wang Baole. His breathing quickened slightly.
"Senior Brother Baole, do you trust me … If you trust me, I'll invest in you. That way, you'll be able to produce more spirit boats at a faster rate!"
When he heard Xie Haiyang's words, Wang Baole didn't say anything. That was because Xie Haiyang had only mentioned the beginning and hadn't mentioned the distribution of profits. Hence, he narrowed his eyes and pondered.
Upon noticing Wang Baole's expression, Xie Haiyang immediately understood. He smiled and thought to himself that he still liked dealing with smart people. This Wang Baole was not only smart but also had great potential. He was very suitable to continue being a big customer of his. Hence, he lowered his head and spoke again.
"Senior Brother Baole, we've dealt with each other many times, so I won't hide it from you. I won't take a single cent of your rental income in the next few months. At the same time, I'll invest 3,300 battle credits into your business. Also, if you come to me when you need materials, I can give you a discount that will allow you to save at least 30% of your cost. No matter how you look at it, you're the one who earns the most profit here.
"As for my income … that's a few months later, when the sect acquires you, they will definitely compensate you. If the compensation is less than 10,000 battle credits, all of it will belong to me. If it's more than 10,000 battle credits, I won't take a single cent!
"Senior Brother Baole, I, Xie Haiyang, am a businessman. I think it's enough to get three times the return in two or three months. I'm not greedy."
At this point, Xie Haiyang smiled and looked at Wang Baole, waiting for Wang Baole's reply.
Wang Baole didn't hide the pondering and weighing in his eyes. In fact, he was indeed in urgent need of battle credits. Because of his business, every additional spirit boat earned him 36 battle credits per day.
The previous spirit boats cost hundreds of battle credits to build. If he followed Xie Haiyang's suggestion and could save 30%, it would still be a large sum. In this case, his spirit boats could reach 20 in no time. In this way, his daily income would be more than 200 battle credits. That would be 6,000 battle credits per month!
At the same time, Wang Baole thought that if he continued to invest in his income, this method of gambling could increase his income even more. After all, this business was like a rolling snowball. As long as he had enough time, he would earn more and more battle credits. It was even possible for him to earn more than 1,000 battle credits per day. In addition, once he increased his investment, Yunpiaozi would also have to invest in proportion. If he didn't, his investment would be diluted … This point could also be used to show goodwill and make friends.
Another point was that since Xie Haiyang didn't want the initial income and focused on the subsequent acquisition by the sect, this also meant that the sect's acquisition was inevitable. This also meant that Wang Baole wouldn't be able to do this for long. Therefore, no matter what, external investment was what he urgently needed now.
After thinking about it, Wang Baole's eyes shone with determination.
"Xie Haiyang, I won't ask you to increase your investment. I can agree to all of your suggestions, but I have a condition and two conditions. First, you have to guarantee the discount you mentioned. Second, you have to use your connections to help me delay the acquisition!"
"As for the condition, when the sect acquires the spirit boats, I'll only sell the formula and not the finished product!
"We've worked together many times. I trust you, and I'm a straightforward person. If you agree, we'll make a deal!"
