Huang Tianpu and the other two spent over half an hour reading through the heretics' proposal and came up with a preliminary result.
Sun Zhuo also noticed that Lin Huang did not participate in the discussion throughout the entire process. Instead, he let the three Grand Dukes handle it.
Sun Zhuo looked at Huang Tianpu and the other two before looking at the three people he brought. He then thought about the bunch of idiots in the heretics' headquarters. He felt a little depressed.
"They're all bosses. Why is there such a huge difference?"
After the three Grand Dukes were done discussing, Huang Tianpu told Lin Huang briefly about the main content of the heretics' proposal through voice transmission as well as the result of their discussion.
Lin Huang nodded after hearing that and said to Sun Zhuo, "Presiding Judge, we've come up with a preliminary result."
"Tianpu, you tell him," Lin Huang said and passed the topic to Huang Tianpu.
Huang Tianpu nodded and projected the heretics' proposal with his Emperor's Heart Ring.
"The proposal that the heretics provided this time is very comprehensive. It almost covers all the areas that Dynasty and the heretics might collaborate in in the future. They even gave great suggestions for collaboration in some areas. It's inspiring to us too.
"In reality, there's nothing wrong with this proposal in the long run. However, we think such a comprehensive collaboration is a little too hasty. "
Sun Zhuo could not help but speak at that moment.
"Perhaps we didn't write the proposal clearly. This proposal is an idealized final collaboration between both parties, so we tried our best to include all possibilities of collaboration. The reason why we didn't write the collaboration steps is mainly because we don't know what kind of collaboration Dynasty is looking for. "
"Indeed, the collaboration steps are what I want to talk about because I didn't see it in the proposal." Huang Tianpu nodded. "However, we can discuss this."
"We think the economic collaboration can be the first step. Dynasty's internal trading system can be opened to the collaborating organizations at any time. We've been prepared for that since the beginning. We'll be able to open the access tomorrow morning once the collaboration is finalized. "
"In reality, the collaboration agreement that we signed with the Coalition government five days ago has been connected to the trading system since four days ago. The daily trading volume has increased by 50% over the past few days. The ratio is still increasing these few days. "
Upon hearing this, the four heretics were clearly interested.
Sun Zhuo could not help but ask, "If we connect with you, can we also get the Coalition government's trading rights?"
"We've already considered this issue and discussed it with the Coalition government. The Coalition government has also opened up the trading rights for our collaborating forces, but there are restrictions. There will be about 12% of the total products that are banned from sale. Even if the trading rights were only open to 88%, it was still much higher than the 61% public rights of the Coalition government. Moreover, since the partners obtained the trading rights through our network, there'll be a 17% premium on the traded items. This is the intermediate fee that we, Dynasty, collect. "
"17% premium, that's a bit high. Most auctions only charge a 5% processing fee. "Zhou Tong ridiculed.
"17% is actually not high because we and the Coalition government are trading at an internal price. Even with the 17% intermediate fee, the actual trading price is only about the same as the market price. Generally speaking, whether it was an auction or a black market, the price of an item would be higher than the market price. In reality, we didn't set the 17% ratio. We suggested 10% to the Coalition government in the beginning. However, they're afraid that it will affect the market price. If there's a butterfly effect later, the entire market might be affected.
"Of course, the ratio isn't completely fixed. It'll be adjusted according to the market price. Moreover, we'll lower the intermediate fee appropriately for organizations that are closer to collaborating with us, but the condition is that the items can't be resold. There'll be a detailed explanation by then, "Huang Tianpu gave a detailed explanation.
"What about Dynasty's items? Can we use an internal price? What's the prohibited price? "
"That depends on the price that the heretics are offering us. The price that we're offering to the Coalition government at the moment is the internal price, which is the same as Dynasty's members. There's no prohibited price. We're not the Coalition government, and we don't have a military enterprise. We obtain all the resources through hunting and exploring sites and ruins. Therefore, there's nothing that we can't sell. The only difference between the Coalition government and Dynasty's members is that Dynasty's members have the priority to purchase the same item if they're interested in it. "
"Understood. We can also understand setting up the right of first refusal." Sun Zhuo nodded lightly after hearing that. "I'll discuss the price and the prohibited price with the headquarters after the meeting."
"May I ask what's the prohibited price for your collaboration with the Coalition government?" Zhou Tong asked all of a sudden. "Of course, you don't have to tell me if it's not convenient."
Huang Tianpu glanced at Lin Huang to ask for his opinion.
Lin Huang nodded at him. In reality, it was not considered a secret.
"Our prohibited price is 3%."
"Wow, that's almost the same as the Hunters' Association, isn't it?!" Xia Yu could not help but exclaim.
"Not really. The Hunters' Association has an even lower ratio. They're closer to the Coalition government than any other organization. "Huang Tianpu stopped there and did not reveal more.
"Then, that's all I have to say about the collaboration. We'll discuss the detailed terms after the heretics confirm the price. As soon as the agreement is reached, we'll release the rights within 24 hours. "
"Sure, let's call it a day for the trading rights. We'll discuss the details tomorrow morning after I've confirmed the things on my side. " Sun Zhuo did not expect the first collaboration project to be decided so soon. In reality, it was basically settled now that they had reached this stage. In reality, he did not expect Dynasty to be so easy to talk to before he came. Moreover, they were sincere about the collaboration. Their attitude was sincere as well.
"Then, let's talk about the second project. Information rights …" Huang Tianpu brought the meeting to the second project directly.
Sun Zhuo stayed in Emperor City for three days with the three heretics.
Most of the time was spent in Dynasty's meeting room.
In reality, Huang Tianpu and the other two from Dynasty were the ones in charge of the meeting. They had an in-depth discussion about the few projects that they might be able to collaborate on in the first round. They then raised many questions to Sun Zhuo and the rest. Some of them even proposed solutions for Sun Zhuo and the rest to refer to.
The heretics saw how professional Huang Tianpu and the other two were, especially Huang Tianpu who was an all-rounded butler.
Sun Zhuo even had the thought of poaching Huang Tianpu to the heretics a couple of times.
However, his rationality made him give up on that idea later on. Poaching Huang Tianpu would mean that the collaboration with Dynasty was over. On the other hand, he realized that apart from his combat strength, he could not compare to Lin Huang in many other aspects. At the very least, he was much weaker in terms of charisma.
Although Lin Huang did not express much of his opinion throughout the meeting, he pointed to the core of the problem every time he spoke. Huang Tianpu and the other two would accept almost everything that he said. Moreover, they were respectful toward him.
Even Zhou Tong and the other two were clearly quiet after staying in the meeting room for three days.
Zhou Tong was even more enthusiastic when the discussion came to the last day. He was even more proactive than Sun Zhuo to promote the collaboration this time.
The first step of the collaboration between Dynasty and the heretics was finally completed after the three-day meeting. The collaboration went very smoothly as both parties actively promoted it. They managed to collaborate on many projects.
After Dynasty's celebration banquet, Sun Zhuo dragged the three of them to have hotpot late at night.
Sun Zhuo finally could not help but ask at the hotpot table, "What exactly is the reason why the three of you have been so quiet these few days?"
The three of them fell into silence.
After a while, Cao Ya was the first to speak.
"Boss, don't you think we're useless? We can't do anything well, and we always get into trouble. "
"Erm … We're alright." Sun Zhuo was stunned for a moment and waved his hand immediately. "Why do you ask?"
"Didn't you see how powerful Huang Tianpu and the rest are? The three of them are so capable that they can solve anything. The Emperor doesn't even have to say anything, and they've done everything, "Cao Ya said. "If we have people like that in the heretics, we'll definitely be doing much better than what we're doing now."
"I can't be envious of that," Sun Zhuo said while waving his hand while smiling, "Every organization has their own style of doing things. The heretics are heretics because of you guys. If all of you are serious like Huang Tianpu and the rest, I might quit the organization out of boredom within a month. "
"Really?" Cao Ya asked with her eyes wide open.
"Of course. You guys are what you are. There's no need to pretend in the heretics, and nobody will look at you differently. Isn't that the reason why you guys joined the heretics back then? It's also the purpose of the heretics. No matter what the outside world is like, no matter what happened in the past, and no matter what the future holds, we'll always be the most authentic and free as long as we're in the heretics. "
Zhou Tong and the other two's eyes flickered slightly when they heard that.
"What about you, girl? You've been so quiet these few days? "Sun Zhuo looked at Xia Yu again.
"I think Lin Huang has changed a lot. He was just a brat on bronze-level three years ago. In just three short years, he's like a completely different person. Not only has his combat strength changed, but he's also completely different from before. Moreover, he looks more like the boss than you do, "Xia Yu said what she thought. "I'm wondering if it's because I didn't work hard enough on my cultivation that he surpassed me by so much."
"Don't belittle yourself, Little Yu. You've improved a lot in the past three years. Getting to immortal-level at the age of 20 is really fast. There's less than 30 people in the entire world who can do that. However, you're comparing yourself to the wrong person. You're just looking for trouble by comparing yourself to Lin Huang. "
"Lin Huang might have gone through more things in the past three years than most people do in their entire lives. His growth isn't just because of his talent and shocking potential. He definitely achieved what he has today by piling up mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Ordinary people can't imagine how difficult and difficult this path is. Only he knows how many battles and killings he's gone through throughout the past three years. He's broken through many deathly traps and how many times he's narrowly escaped death. "
What Zhou Tong said not only made Xia Yu and Cao Ya fall into deep thought, but even Sun Zhuo looked at him in a strange way.
"Hey, Old Zhou, what's wrong with you today?" Sun Zhuo could not help but ask. "You're helping to promote the collaboration in the day, and you're even praising Lin Huang at night. Don't tell me you're thinking of joining Dynasty? "
"Bullsh * t, I joined the heretics earlier than you did! You want me to quit the heretics? Dream on, "Zhou Tong scolded mercilessly.
"Then, you …"
"I'm just telling you what I think about Lin Huang. In reality, I've been observing him for the past few days. However, the more I observe him, the more I can't see through him. At the same time, I understand why Huang Tianfu and the other two respect him so much. I've also figured out why Dynasty rose up.
"What's terrifying about Lin Huang isn't his combat strength and ability, nor is it his potential and talent. Instead, it's the way he sees things that's different from ordinary people. He doesn't seem to be limited by some of the inherent concepts in this world. "
"Now that you mention it, that seems to be the case. The questions that he raised during the few meetings were rather strange, but they pointed to the crux of the matter. Moreover, the solutions that he suggested were unheard of, "Sun Zhuo said while nodding after thinking about it carefully.
"The reason why I'm promoting the collaboration with Dynasty so much is because of Lin Huang's performance. I think it's extremely likely that he'll be the founder of a new era. Dynasty will go far under his leadership. I thought about the heretics' current situation and came up with an interesting idea. Since we can't be the founders ourselves, why don't we follow the founders and run with them? "
Xia Yu and Huang Tianfu smiled when they heard what Zhou Tong said.
Sun Zhuo, on the other hand, fell into a long silence while frowning. He lifted his head to look at Zhou Tong a long time later. "What if the path that Dynasty created is a dead end?"
Zhou Tong was stunned to hear that, but he understood now. Since there were no precedents, nobody knew if the model that Dynasty created could go on for a long time. It seemed great now, but nobody could predict what would happen in the future. Meanwhile, the closer the relationship between the heretics and Dynasty was, the greater the loss the heretics would suffer as soon as something happened.
"The heretics haven't changed for over 200 years. I don't know when we'll have another opportunity if we miss this one. Of course, you'll be the one to make the final decision. I'm just expressing my opinion. No matter what decision you make, we'll support you. "
Sun Zhuo fell into silence for a moment when he heard that. He could not help but laugh out loud all of a sudden. "I have no idea why I'm so worried all of a sudden. I've already signed the agreement, and I'm suddenly afraid that I've made the wrong decision. However, now that I think about it, there's nothing to regret since the decision has been made. Let's take a gamble. Let's see where exactly Dynasty can take us! "
