Yun Yang smiled faintly. "It's hard to be content with one's greed. This is an unavoidable mentality for any cultivator or human being. Even I can't avoid it. However, I really don't wish to trade too many resources this time. Since all of you have come personally, let's set the upper limit at nine hundred thousand worth of resources. What do you think?"
A considerable portion of the last million worth of resources was Yun Yang's commission.
This time, a hundred thousand was deducted. Nominally, Yun Yang's commission was reduced by a hundred thousand upper-class spiritual jade pieces, but in actual fact, the total value of the traded resources was set at a million. It was almost double of the previous transaction.
The previous time was six hundred thousand while the rest was Yun Yang's commission. Once the commission was collected, it could not be reduced anymore.
It looked like a concession of a hundred thousand, but it was actually an increase of four hundred thousand. A concession of a hundred thousand was still an increase of three hundred thousand. Moreover, it was only a concession of a hundred thousand this time. The future transactions were still a million!
It was an exorbitant demand.
The General Commerce League and the others looked at each other, their faces pale.
This was Yun Yang's immediate retaliation. 'I've already made it clear that it's not good to open the Spirit's Grave too frequently. It's only been a few days and the General Commerce League can't wait anymore, even requesting to open the Spirit's Grave again and again. Where do I stand? Of course, I have to set a limit on the total value of the traded resources. To Yun Yang, this was understandable. A transaction should be fair and just. If one party were to compromise, the other party would only be more aggressive and exploit them further!
How could Lang Fantian not understand this? With an inward sigh, he chuckled dryly and said, "Of course, we'll follow Brother Yun's wishes. The General Commerce League's need for the Qi of vitality is too urgent this time. It's been hard on you, brother."
To Lang Fantian and the General Commerce League, Yun Yang had gained a lot from the recent transaction. Although the league's request this time was a little too eager, it was also in consideration of the bigger picture. Compromising a little would only strengthen the partnership, especially when Yun Yang had already received a lot of extra benefits last time. It would be best if he did not accept it this time, saving a sum of money for the General Commerce League.
Unexpectedly, not only did Yun Yang not give in, he had even set a limit on the total value of the traded goods. It was as if he had turned the tables on the General Commerce League.
The meaning behind Yun Yang's words was profound, containing two layers of meaning. Firstly, they were working together using real money. He would give as much as he was supposed to. This was set in stone. Secondly, it was the content of the transaction. If the league wanted to make multiple transactions within a short period of time, that was fine, but the total value of the traded goods had to be decided by Yun Yang.
Other than Yun Yang's self-deprecation, he was also accusing the owner of the Spirit's Grave of having ulterior motives due to the frequent transactions. What should he do if there were no frequent large transactions in the future?
Furthermore, there was Yun Yang's intention to mock the General Commerce League's eagerness for quick success, forcing them to do things that were beyond their control, and being dishonest in doing things.
Lang Fantian and the others were veterans in the martial world. How could they not understand the true meaning behind the words? However, they were helpless against Yun Yang. After all, Yun Yang was the seller's market now. They could only suffer in silence.
It was just a sentence, but it was equivalent to limiting the total value of the General Commerce Alliance's transaction. It might even cause the purpose of this transaction to fail and return in disappointment!
The corners of Lang Fantian's lips twitched, but he did not speak.
The General Commerce League's decision this time actually had another layer of consideration. They wanted to use this opportunity to test if Yun Yang's claim that opening the Spirit's Grave too many times would bring harm to himself was true. This was a crucial point.
However, based on the current situation and Yun Yang's unyielding attitude, there was a ninety percent chance that this was true. Not only did this test cause them to suffer a great loss, they had also severely offended Yun Yang!
At the very least, their relationship was no longer as harmonious as before!
Yun Yang was still welcoming the General Commerce League's people into the guest rooms of the Residence of Nine Supremes enthusiastically.
Once Lang Fantian and the Eight Great Vajras entered the Residence of Nine Supremes' mountain gate, they were genuinely shocked. Their eyes were gleaming, filled with extreme disbelief and incredulity.
After settling Lang Fantian and the others, Yun Yang excused himself and left without further pleasantries.
Yun Yang had a lot of things to do now, especially to give these people time to react and space to communicate.
The General Commerce League's action this time was reasonable and expected to Yun Yang, but the league's reaction to Yun Yang was not necessarily the same. What he should do now was to give the other a relatively private space to think about the future.
After Yun Yang left, the General Commerce League's people gathered in a large circle. It was hard to tell who was in the lead.
Lang Fantian stood at the side of the circle, deep in thought with a frown, his expression dark.
Xiao Jianghu was the first to speak, saying in a low voice, "Why does this Sect Leader Yun seem to have seen through my identity?"
Lang Fantian chuckled humorlessly. "It's not that I admire Yun Yang, but this Sect Leader Yun is a rare character in the Bound of Universe, be it in terms of scheming or tactics, despite his young age. It's not too surprising that he found something unusual about you, Boss. Let's not talk about anything else. Just the decision he made just now is shocking, isn't it? "
Xiao Jianghu said, "Oh? I didn't know you have such a high opinion of this Sect Leader Yun, Fantian! "
Lang Fantian sucked in a breath and said, "I thought the General Commerce League had some judgment on this Sect Leader Yun, but now I know that it's not the case. Do you know, boss, that when I first met Yun Yang, there were only two of them, but they'd already made a name for themselves as the Raiders of All But God? Even when they were doing business with the General Commerce League, the entire process was easy and smooth."
Xiao Jianghu replied with a chuckle, "How can I not know this? If it weren't for the opportunity that day, how could we have met today?"
Lang Fantian shook his head. "That's not the only reason I value this child. There are many secrets that can be unearthed from him, each of them earth-shattering secrets. Not only are our abilities far superior, but we also know the value of these secrets, but we dare not make a move. At most, we're probing carefully. Tracing back to the source, there are many unexpected factors, but most of it is due to Yun Yang's actions."
Xiao Jianghu nodded and said, "That's true. I've heard Fantian say that this child is extraordinary. Although I thought that this child must have something extraordinary about him, I still underestimated him. Now, it seems that this child is truly remarkable!"
"The Residence of Nine Supremes was already taking shape when we met for the second time. Now, it's the third time, the Residence of Nine Supremes is already taking shape. "
"It's only been two to three months, but each time we meet, it's accompanied by a sense of wonder. All the wonder comes from the achievement he's made in such a short period of time. It's something that no one else can achieve. "
"That's why I said that there's nothing surprising about him seeing through boss' identity." Lang Fantian sighed. "On the contrary, I'd be surprised if he didn't."
