"City Lord Zhou, I was the one who suggested this collaboration. If the Cheng Clan were to collaborate with other cities, wouldn't it be too unkind of the Cheng Clan?" City Lord Bai's expression did not look too good.
This was an idea that he had come up with after thinking for a long time. Now that the Cheng Family had found out about it …
Furthermore, the Cheng Family had the initiative in this collaboration.
Just as City Lord Zhou had said, as long as the Cheng Family opened their mouths and wanted to cooperate with other cities, many City Lords would run to the Cheng Family to seek cooperation.
If that was the case, the White City Alliance would suffer a huge loss.
"City Lord Bai, it's all about strength. What do you think?" City Lord Zhou smiled disapprovingly.
In a world where strength was everything, there was no such thing as equality.
Since City Lord Bai had suggested this, the Cheng Family could naturally use it.
Even if the White City Alliance was displeased, what could they do?
In terms of strength, the White City Alliance was not as strong as the Cheng Family.
Therefore, it was entirely up to the Cheng Family to decide whether they wanted to collaborate or not. If the White City Alliance did not agree to their request, they could always find another partner who would agree to the Cheng Family's request.
"City Lord Zhou, how many Spirit Stones should the White City Alliance pay every year?" City Lord Bai asked in a deep voice.
These words were tantamount to him choosing to compromise with the Cheng Clan.
"I think that based on the Cheng Family's current influence, the White City Alliance should pay us at least one billion low-grade Spirit Stones every year." City Lord Zhou said.
"One billion? City Lord Zhou, isn't that a little too high? Even if the Cheng Family were to collaborate with other cities, I don't think anyone would be able to pay that much! "City Lord Bai was truly shocked by City Lord Zhou's words.
The Cheng Family was asking for an exorbitant price of one billion a year. This price was ridiculously high.
City Lord Bai was certain that the White City Alliance would earn a lot of money by collaborating with the Cheng Family.
However, he had no idea how much they would earn. What if the situation was not as good as he had imagined? What if they didn't even earn a billion in a year?
Based on his experience in managing the White City Alliance, even though he felt that it wouldn't be a problem to earn one billion a year, he was only estimating based on his experience and couldn't guarantee that he could earn that much in a year.
Moreover, even if they could really earn a billion a year, he couldn't possibly hand over all of it to the Cheng family, right?
If they had to hand over 1 billion to the Cheng Family, then wouldn't their efforts be in vain?
Moreover, these 20 cities were a huge expense to him every year. If the situation wasn't ideal when the time came, he would probably suffer a loss.
In any case, the White City Alliance still had more than 20 cities, and two of them were first-class cities. It was a grand sight.
If the Cheng Family really chose to cooperate with other cities, it would be even worse than the White City Alliance.
In particular, if the Cheng Family only chose a single city like Hong City and Long City, it would be even more impossible for the White City Alliance to hand over 1 billion a year to the Cheng Family.
After all, he was estimating based on the situation of more than 20 cities, while Hong City was only one city.
Based on the scale of a city, no matter how many people he could attract, it would be impossible for him to earn 1 billion a year.
It was even more impossible for him to hand over 1 billion to the Cheng Family.
Therefore, this was enough to show how ridiculous the Cheng Family's offer was. Why would he agree to it?
"That might not be the case. City Lord Bai can't afford it, but it doesn't mean that others can't.
At the very least, the White City Alliance isn't the only one in the cultivation world. For example, the Qicheng Alliance and the Hancheng Alliance aren't smaller than the White City Alliance.
Besides, they're further away from the Cheng Family, so they'll be more effective in promoting the Cheng Family. We can spread the Cheng Family's name further away.
If the Cheng Family finds them, I'm sure they'll agree to it! "City Lord Zhou said with a smile.
"City Lord Zhou, if you put it that way, it's really unfair to the White City Alliance.
You know that the Qicheng Alliance has more than 30 cities. The Hancheng Alliance has close to 50 cities.
If they were to cooperate with the Cheng Family, they might be able to fork out 1 billion a year.
However, the White City Alliance only has more than 20 cities, so it's really unfair to make such a comparison.
Besides, wasn't the Cheng Family burning the bridge after crossing it?
More importantly, the Qicheng Alliance and the Hancheng Alliance were too far away from the Cheng Family. With such a distance, even if there were benefits, it would be very troublesome.
By then, even if they weren't willing to fulfill their promise, it wouldn't be easy for the Cheng Family to send troops to them, right?
Besides, if the White City Alliance is willing to fork out 1 billion, shouldn't the Qicheng Alliance and the Hancheng Alliance be willing to fork out 1.5 billion or even 2 billion?
Therefore, I hope that City Lord Zhou can take our cooperation seriously, "City Lord Bai said.
One had to admit that the Cheng Family was really good at drawing inferences.
If they were to cooperate with the two alliances, it would indeed bring more fame to the Cheng Family.
However, in terms of benefits, he only hoped that the Cheng Family would cooperate with the White City Alliance.
After all, the more people they cooperated with, the less benefits they would receive.
The Qicheng Alliance and the Hancheng Alliance were far away from the Cheng Family and even from the White City Alliance.
However, at the very least, these two alliances were on the same side, and this would definitely affect the interests of the White City Alliance.
If the Cheng Family didn't cooperate with them, at least the people near the two alliances would come to the White City Alliance.
However, if the Cheng Family chose to cooperate with them, then the people near the two alliances would be closer to the White City Alliance.
In that case, these people would definitely not come to the White City Alliance.
Therefore, he naturally didn't want the Cheng Family to cooperate with them.
If the Cheng Family wanted to cooperate with the other alliances, it wouldn't matter. After all, the other alliances didn't have any conflicts with the Cheng Family.
Even if the Cheng Family didn't cooperate with the other alliances, they wouldn't come to the White City Alliance. Instead, they would go to the Cheng Family.
Therefore, since there were no benefits involved, he naturally wouldn't care.
