This time, when Governor Zhou returned from the Cheng Family, there were no more unforeseen circumstances. Both parties had successfully signed the contract.
Governor Bai could not help but feel a little excited as he held the contract in his hands.
Perhaps he had indeed been tricked by Governor Zhou, but at least they had reached an agreement.
As long as they had this cooperation, he firmly believed that this little loss was nothing. He would definitely make a profit in a year's time.
"It's all thanks to you, Governor Zhou!" Governor Bai said gratefully.
No matter how displeased he was with Governor Zhou's actions, they were now partners.
Furthermore, they would have to work together in the future. If the White City Alliance wanted to profit, they would need Governor Zhou's support.
"You're too kind, Governor Bai. We're just taking what we need!" Governor Zhou smiled.
"Even so, if it weren't for you, I don't think our collaboration would have gone so smoothly. Therefore, I will forever remember your gratitude," City Lord Bai said sincerely.
"You don't have to thank me. As long as our partnership is a win-win situation, I'm satisfied!" Governor Zhou replied calmly.
"Don't worry, Governor Zhou. Since I've promised the Cheng Family, I'll definitely give the Cheng Family whatever we earn in a year's time!" Governor Bai said.
"I'm relieved to hear that, Governor Bai!" Governor Zhou smiled.
The flesh on Governor Bai's face twitched, but he smiled awkwardly.
Although they successfully signed the contract, the duration of the contract was only one year.
The reason given by the Cheng Family was that they would continue working together after a year's time if the partnership went smoothly.
Therefore, this year was extremely important for the White City Alliance.
If the White City Alliance's profits fell below six hundred million in the following year, they would definitely suffer a loss.
At that time, even if the Cheng Family still wanted to cooperate with him, he would have to consider it carefully again.
If the White City Alliance's profits exceeded six hundred million in the following year, he would definitely want to continue working with the Cheng Family.
Therefore, when he thought about it, there were pros and cons to the Cheng Family's one-year contract. There was nothing he could say.
However, he knew that it wouldn't be difficult for him to continue working with the Cheng Family if everyone benefited from the one-year contract.
Just like that, Governor Bai left happily with the one-year contract.
Gazing at the backs of the people from the White City Alliance, City Lord Zhou merely smiled.
They had only agreed on a one-year contract because they didn't know how much the White City Alliance would benefit from this.
If they were to sign a long-term cooperation agreement, the Cheng Clan would suffer a great loss if the benefits brought to the White City Alliance were far greater than the 600 million low-grade Spirit Stones.
Therefore, in order to give the Cheng Family a way out, the Master only agreed on a one-year contract.
Whether they would continue working with the Cheng Family next year would depend on how far the White City Alliance went.
"Governor Zhou, what did City Governor Bai come for? He looked like he was very pleased when he left! "City Lord Meng could not help but ask. Governor Meng could not help but standing beside Cheng Family.
City Lord Zhou had been visiting City Lord Bai frequently over the past few days. It was clear that they had important matters to discuss.
However, they couldn't ask Governor Bai directly, so they were very curious.
Now that City Lord Bai had left, he couldn't help but want to ask. However, he didn't know if City Lord Zhou would tell him the truth.
Of course, City Lord Meng was not the only one who was curious. The other City Lords, including City Lord Han, had not left Yungui New City and were curious about what City Lord Meng had said.
They had seen City Lord Meng's status and position in the Cheng Family's territory when they came to Yungui New City. It was completely different from the last time they came to Yungui City. At that time, they were all outsiders in front of the Cheng Family.
Now, City Lord Meng and the others were like the masters and had become a family with the Cheng Family. This change in status was difficult for them to accept and they were even envious of City Lord Meng and the others.
However, they couldn't bring themselves to tell the Cheng family that they were willing to rely on the Cheng family, so they had always been conflicted in their hearts. This was also the reason why they were still here even though the opening ceremony of Yungui New City had been held for a few days.
"It won't be long before we understand!" City Lord Zhou shook his head and didn't tell them about the collaboration.
He knew that if he told them about the collaboration with the White City Alliance, they would also want to collaborate with the Cheng Family and assign missions in their cities.
To the Cheng Family, the collaboration with the White City Alliance was just a test. No one knew what the outcome of the collaboration would be, and they couldn't be sure that the White City Alliance would benefit greatly from it.
Moreover, even if the Cheng Family wanted to collaborate with other cities, they would have to wait until the situation in the White City Alliance stabilized.
Although such a cooperation was definitely profitable for the Cheng Family, they absolutely couldn't let all their partners lose all their capital.
Moreover, City Lord Meng and the others had already submitted to the Cheng Family. It wouldn't be good for the Cheng Family if they suffered losses.
Otherwise, no one would cooperate with the Cheng Family in the future.
Of course, the Cheng Family didn't want the population of the Cheng Family's cities to decrease too much.
When the Cheng Family's reputation spread further in the future, it wouldn't matter if they added more partners.
However, now wasn't the time to fully cooperate with everyone. They had to ensure that the Cheng Family's cities had an absolute flow of people.
Only then could the Cheng Family's cities maintain sufficient prosperity in the long run.
Initially, the Cheng Family's cities were quite prosperous and had a high population. Many shops had entered the Cheng Family's hands.
However, because the Cheng Family had collaborated with too many cities, the population of each city had plummeted. The shops had all lost money and left.
"There must be some secret between the White City Alliance and the Cheng Family! Otherwise, why would City Lord Zhou be with City Lord Bai every day these days? "City Lord Yun said after City Lord Zhou left.
"Isn't that obvious? Didn't City Lord Zhou say it already? We'll understand soon enough. Isn't it obvious that there's something going on between them? City Lord Zhou just doesn't want to tell us now! "City Lord Guang said disdainfully.
