Although she felt that Chu Xingyun's request was extremely exaggerated and impossible to fulfill, Bai Bing did not say anything. Without trying, who could guarantee that the other party would not agree?
In the following month, Chu Xingyun continued to cultivate the Thirteen Gale Swords in seclusion as well as study runes.
Bai Bing did not stay idle either. She directly proposed three major conditions to the military, causing a huge uproar.
Chu Xingyun deliberately did not emphasize or remind her. As expected, Bai Bing made a mistake and focused on Sky Cloud Island and the Arrow Bamboo. She did not give in and argued with the military.
However, the military was not so easy to negotiate with. After an intense argument, the military put forward a condition.
The 100 billion reward was not a problem. Sky Cloud Island, the Sky Cloud Workshop, and the Sky Cloud Craftsmen could also be given.
They even agreed to the third condition, which was to prioritize the purchase of arrows.
However, the military put forward a request. They wanted to split the profits of the arrows fifty-fifty!
In other words, if purchasing arrows from other people cost ten Spirit Stones, then purchasing arrows from the White Cloud Chamber of Commerce would only cost eight Spirit Stones. The profits would be deducted and would go to the military.
Faced with this request, Bai Bing did not dare to make a rash decision. Instead, she called Chu Xingyun out of the Reincarnation Space again.
Originally, Bai Bing thought that Chu Xingyun would fly into a rage and resolutely refuse to agree.
However, she did not expect that Chu Xingyun would agree without hesitation.
The next morning, Chu Xingyun accompanied Bai Bing to the military to sign a series of agreements.
Bai Bing signed an agreement with the military in the name of the White Cloud Chamber of Commerce.
The White Cloud Chamber of Commerce was the name of the chamber of commerce established by Bai Bing.
Bai was the word for Bai, and Yun was the word for Chu Xingyun. As the name implied, the chamber of commerce was jointly owned by the two of them.
It was worth mentioning that the White Cloud Commerce was jointly owned by Bai Bing and Chu Xingyun.
However, it couldn't be said that Bai Bing and Chu Xingyun belonged to the Chamber of Commerce.
On this basis, Chu Xingyun handed over the Gale Razor Golden Arrow blueprint to the White Cloud Commerce, giving them full ownership.
In return, the White Cloud Trading Firm gave Chu Xingyun Sky Cloud Island, the Sky Cloud Workshop, and a hundred thousand Sky Cloud craftsmen.
Since they were doing business, everything had to follow the rules of business. No matter how good the relationship between Bai Bing and Chu Xingyun was, this could not be changed.
After all, business was very serious. It was a battlefield without gunpowder, not a child's play.
With the two of them working together, since Chu Xingyun had given him a priceless design, it was only natural for him to receive the rewards he deserved.
It couldn't be said that Bai Bing didn't contribute anything but still got half of the shares. This wasn't the way of business.
Now, the White Cloud Commerce had the Gale Razor Golden Arrow blueprint. This was already Chu Xingyun taking care of Bai Bing. As for the future development, it was up to Bai Bing.
On the other hand, the reason why everything on Sky Cloud Island was transferred to Chu Xingyun wasn't purely for the sake of profit.
Bai Bing had successfully hoodwinked the military with this contract.
To be precise, the military was too focused on immediate benefits and neglected the more strategic value of the Sky Cloud craftsmen.
In the eyes of the military's higher-ups, craftsmen were just workers. They could gather a thousand of them at any time. What was so difficult about that?
But in reality, craftsmen weren't that simple.
As an important military base, Sky Cloud Island had always been isolated from the rest of the world. In the past ten thousand years, the Sky Cloud craftsmen had developed a mature craftsmen system on the island.
It could be said that each and every one of those hundred thousand craftsmen had gone through a great deal of learning, fumbling, and systematically learning all kinds of craftsmen's knowledge and skills.
As the saying went, it took ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to cultivate a man. Without a hundred and eighty years of painstaking study, it was impossible to reach the level of Sky Cloud craftsmen.
Every true Sky Cloud craftsman was a top-notch artist.
They had to be proficient in painting, carving, and calligraphy. Moreover, they had to reach the grandmaster level.
Without these hundred thousand craftsmen, no matter what Chu Xingyun came up with, he would have to refine it himself.
And with these hundred thousand craftsmen, no matter what ideas Chu Xingyun came up with, he could directly pass them down to specialized people to test and verify Chu Xingyun's conjectures.
Once there was a mature product, the hundred thousand craftsmen could mass produce it. Refining wasn't something that just anyone could play around with.
The higher one's position, the greater one's power, and the less one's understanding of the grassroots.
It wasn't just the Universal World or the True Spirit Continent. In all the dimensions, all the countries and powers in all the worlds were constantly making similar mistakes.
People were the most precious wealth. Many people knew this saying.
But how many people could truly ignore the enormous benefits before them and put people first?
When the upper echelons of the military focused on the benefits before them, they naturally ignored the existence of Sky Cloud craftsmen.
It wasn't just because they cared too much about the benefits before them. More importantly, they were too far away from the grassroots and ignored the craftsmen.
Now, after signing an agreement with the White Cloud Merchant Association, everything on Sky Cloud Island belonged to Chu Xingyun. The White Cloud Merchant Association commissioned White Cloud Island to produce Gale Sharp Gold Arrows.
Bai Bing and Chu Xingyun both understood the importance and necessity of this operation.
After transferring everything on Sky Cloud Island to Chu Xingyun, Sky Cloud Island would no longer be subject to the military's restrictions and restrictions.
Sky Cloud Island would no longer belong to the White Cloud Merchant Association, but to Chu Xingyun himself. Thus, the military would no longer be able to interfere with anything on Sky Cloud Island.
The White Cloud Merchant Association was the one who signed the agreement with the military, and the White Cloud Merchant Association was only the distributor of Gale Sharp Gold Arrows on Sky Cloud Island.
Both of them knew very well that the White Cloud Merchant Association was a shell that could be discarded at any time. White Cloud Island was the foundation of their rise.
As long as White Cloud Island existed, Chu Xingyun and Bai Bing were also around, an existence like the White Cloud Merchant Association could be rebuilt at any time. They could build as much as they wanted.
It was still the same saying. People were the most precious resource.
After a series of surreptitious operations, Bai Bing and Chu Xingyun quickly completed all the procedures while the military was still immersed in the joy of the agreement.
At this point, even if the military went back on their word, it would be useless. It was strictly forbidden to change orders at any time.
Not to mention the military, even if the Emperor himself came, he would absolutely not casually change a decision that had just been made, especially when it was a collective decision made by the military.
Otherwise, it wouldn't just be one person who would be denied, but the entire military!
After completing all the procedures, Chu Xingyun immediately rushed to Sky Cloud Island with the documents from the military.
As for Bai Bing, she continued to stay and complete the establishment of the White Cloud Merchant Association. She was also responsible for contacting and communicating with the military.
As for Chu Xingyun, he directly used the teleportation formation and arrived at his own territory — Sky Cloud Island.
Breathing in the salty sea breeze, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but feel ambitious.
After being in the Qiankun World for a year and a half, Chu Xingyun finally had his own territory. He no longer needed to live under someone else's roof.
What made Chu Xingyun most satisfied was that Sky Cloud Island was isolated in the sea. No matter how big of a commotion he caused, no one would know about it. This way, he wouldn't steal Shui Liu Xiang's limelight. It couldn't be better.
