"City Lord Zhou, you really have to help me this time. The White City Alliance is definitely sincere in cooperating with the Cheng Family.
I hope you can put in a good word for me in front of the Cheng Family. The White City Alliance is really looking forward to working with the Cheng Family, "City Lord Bai said sincerely to City Lord Zhou.
He did not know if City Lord Zhou was lying to him again.
However, he had indeed heard that many City Lords had come to the Cheng Family.
However, he had not heard of any other cities or alliances announcing their intention to cooperate with the Cheng Family in the past year.
Therefore, he had assumed that the Cheng Family must have rejected them.
However, after hearing City Lord Zhou's explanation, it seemed like the Cheng Family had not rejected them.
It was because the Cheng Family did not need so many partners at the moment. Therefore, before the White City Alliance's cooperation with the Cheng Family ended, the Cheng Family had no intention of working with anyone else.
The Cheng Family would only choose a new partner after the cooperation ended.
This was terrible news for the White City Alliance.
He could only hope that City Lord Zhou could have a good talk with the Cheng Family so that he would have the opportunity to continue working with the Cheng Family.
As long as he had the chance, he was willing to pay a higher price.
However, he did not say this out loud because he had already fallen for it once. He was afraid that this was another trap set up by the Cheng Family.
What if the Cheng Family did not have any other partners? If he said this, he would definitely be digging a hole for himself again.
"Don't worry, City Lord Bai. I believe that you will definitely have a place in the Cheng Family's heart with this gift of yours. After all, your character is the best guarantee that our cooperation will go smoothly!" City Lord Zhou said with a smile as he held the storage bag in his hand.
"Thank you so much, City Lord Zhou. However … I have a presumptuous request that I wonder if City Lord Zhou would be willing to tell me the truth?" City Lord Bai asked again as he was overwhelmed with gratitude.
"City Lord Bai, please ask away. If I can tell you, I don't mind telling you!" City Lord Zhou said straightforwardly.
"I would really like to know which cities or alliances have offered to the Cheng Family, and how much did they offer?" City Lord Bai asked.
If this was true, he could at least weigh the pros and cons if he could find out the other party's base price.
If it was within his tolerance range, perhaps he could completely suppress these people.
No matter what, the White City Alliance had already cooperated with the Cheng Clan once, and they had a good reputation. If they offered the same price, the Cheng Clan would definitely consider the White City Alliance first.
"City Lord Bai, to tell you the truth, there are too many cities and alliances that want to cooperate with our White City Alliance. However, there were far fewer people who were willing to offer a high price.
But even so, there are at least ten cities that are willing to pay this price! "City Lord Zhou put two fingers together to form a 'ten'!
"One billion?" Governor Bai was shocked.
These guys really wanted to force him to his death. Although the one-year cooperation had not yet expired, he could basically estimate how much profit he would get from the cooperation for a year.
Based on the past few months, the White City Alliance would not be able to earn more than 1.2 billion in a year at most.
Based on the current situation, the White City Alliance would only be able to earn 200 million in a year if they were to fork out a billion. Most of the money would go to the Cheng Clan.
Over twenty cities for two hundred million. In a year, each city would only earn twenty million. Based on this calculation, it really wasn't worth it.
Of course, these profits were calculated based on the cooperation with the Cheng Clan. They did not include the profits that they had already earned.
If they were to include the profits that they had earned without the cooperation with the Cheng Clan, they would be making a loss.
In the past few years, the cities had been in a slump because of the Cheng Clan. On average, each city could only earn around 10 million a year.
This was because among the 22 cities, there were only two first-class cities, four second-class cities, and six third-class cities. There was an imbalance in their power, and their ability to earn money was naturally different as well.
However, in a year, the twenty-odd cities would be able to earn around 200 to 300 million.
In a year, they would be able to earn an additional 1.2 billion, which was enough to prove how much profit they would gain from the cooperation with the Cheng Clan.
This should have been something to be happy about.
However, 600 million of the 1.2 billion would be given to the Cheng Clan, so they could only earn 600 million themselves.
However, in addition to the 300 million they could earn on their own, they would still be able to earn 900 million a year. This was three times their original profit, and he was quite satisfied with it.
Therefore, he naturally hoped that this cooperation would continue. If he could get the Cheng Clan to issue more missions with generous rewards for the White City Alliance and attract more people, the White City Alliance would definitely earn a lot more than it was now.
However, there were suddenly so many competitors, and the price was so high that it had reached a billion.
If the White City Alliance also offered a billion to the Cheng Clan, they would only earn 200 million a year. Even if they added the 200 million they could earn on their own, they would only earn 400 million in total.
The White City Alliance had already become much more prosperous under the cooperation. However, they had earned an additional 200 million during this period of prosperity. This was somewhat unacceptable.
It was obvious that they had put in a lot of effort, but they had not received the corresponding return. This price was indeed unacceptable.
"That's right. Of course, this is not the highest bidder. The Xuanfeng Alliance must be the one who offered the highest price! "Governor Zhou said with a faint smile when he saw Governor Bai's astonishment.
"Xuanfeng Alliance? Isn't that an alliance far away from the Cheng Clan? "City Lord Bai was puzzled.
He asked.
He knew that the Xuanfeng Alliance was much larger than the White City Alliance. It had more than 50 cities.
If it was really the Xuanfeng Alliance, then the White City Alliance would be in trouble.
After all, they had more cities, and the profits they could earn would be much higher than the White City Alliance.
According to the current situation where he could earn 60 million per city, the Xuanfeng Alliance would be able to earn 3 billion a year.
