Decisively ending the conversation with the System, Mo Tiankong began to focus on the cashier.
.....
Miracle City inner city Zhang Manor, there were currently several people sitting in the meeting room.
The seat of honor was Old Man Zhang Zhengfeng, the first seat on the right was Zhang Yun, and the left and right seats were Old Man Tang and Tang Shen. Other than that, there was no one else in the hall.
Zhang Tiannan and Fatty Tang were not present, perhaps the two of them would not be able to participate in a meeting of this level.
"Zhengfeng, what business do you have with me this time?"
Old Man Tang saw that Zhang Zhengfeng was not speaking, so he asked.
"Old Tang, have you seen the post about the general store?"
Zhang Zhengfeng raised his teacup and drank a mouthful of food.
"I've seen it, is it about the island in the Chaotic Sea?"
Old Man Tang scratched his head for a moment before asking.
These families naturally did not lack Blue Star Phones, so they were all equipped with them. Even some of the younger generation of the family were equipped with them, mainly because the price was cheap.
This bit of spirit stones was a small matter for the various powers in Miracle City.
"That's right, it's about the island."
Old Man Zhang Zhengfeng said with a serious expression.
"What does this island have to do with us?"
Old Man Tang asked in confusion.
"Uncle Tang, this island is ownerless."
Zhang Zhengfeng did not say anything, but Zhang Yun interjected.
"I say, Zhengfeng, you can't be thinking of going out to sea, right? With our strength, it's very easy for us to attract the Great Demon of the sea, it's very dangerous."
Old Man Tang said with a frown.
The higher the cultivation of a martial artist, the stronger the Sea Beasts they would attract. Who knew how many powerful Demonic Beasts there were in the endless Chaotic Sea.
It was just like entering the demonic beast's territory. Those who were strong would definitely attract the attention of the powerful demonic beasts. Moreover, once they entered the demonic beast's territory, they would definitely fight with their lives. On the contrary, if a low-level martial artist entered the territory of a high-level demonic beast, he might have a chance of survival. After all, the difference in strength was too great.
The key point was that as a top family in Miracle City, they did not lack spirit stones, so why would they take the risk to enter the Chaotic Sea?
"Is it related to the Heavenly Palace Floating Island?"
That was what Elder Tang thought.
"It has nothing to do with that. Store Manager Mo went out to sea to investigate, but he didn't find any traces."
Master Zhang said.
"I said, stop hiding it!"
Elder Tang was a little impatient. If he had to go out to sea, he still hadn't lived long enough. He didn't want to die in the Chaotic Ocean.
"Since this island is ownerless and no cultivator has ever set foot on it, then what about the natural treasures or spirit stone veins on it?"
Old Master Zhang said lightly.
"Uncle Zhang, do you want the resources on this island?"
Fatty Tang's father, Tang Shen, reacted. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about it before. After Mo Tiankong released the news, he also thought about it. However, considering the danger involved, he naturally gave up on it.
"Not bad."
Zhang Zhengfeng glanced at Tang Shen and said.
"To tell you the truth, Uncle Zhang, I've thought about it before, but it's too dangerous. It's not feasible."
Although they knew Zhang Zhengfeng's intentions, they still couldn't do it. Could it be that he wanted to use the Tang Family as cannon fodder?
"Tang Shen, how did Store Manager Mo go out to sea?"
Zhang Yun interrupted again at this time.
Tang Shen frowned and thought for a while. It seems like he went out to sea on a battleship.
"Is it the general store's Armor Destroyer? It's worth a lot."
Tang Shen said with a frown.
Thirty million spirit stones for a Armor Destroyer. Where could they get so many spirit stones? One had to know that the foundations of the two families were too shallow. They weren't like the Lin Family, which had been established for hundreds of years. They couldn't take out thirty million spirit stones.
"That's right, it's the Armor Destroyer. The battleship itself is at the peak of the Earth Grade. It also has powerful cannons. Even if it encounters some demonic beasts in the sea, it can easily deal with them."
"The key is that if the cultivator doesn't release his aura, it won't attract any powerful demonic beasts. As for the low-level sea beasts on the sea, there's nothing to worry about."
Zhang Yun said in one breath about going out to sea.
"But Brother Zhang, this Armor Destroyer isn't cheap."
Tang Shen hesitated for a moment and said. It wasn't that he was looking down on the Zhang Family, but it was true that their foundations were shallow. Even if they had some money because of the general store, it was still thirty million spirit stones, not three million spirit stones.
Moreover, after taking out this amount of spirit stones, they still had to ensure the family's normal operations. It was still a bit impossible. As the head of the family, Tang Shen was clear about the family's financial situation.
"Indeed, the Zhang Family can't take out so many spirit stones. But what if it's two families?"
Zhang Yun said indifferently.
When Tang Shen heard this, he almost understood why the Zhang Family was looking for the Tang Family. It was about the Spirit Stones. If it was just one family, the Zhang Family and the Tang Family couldn't afford it. However, if the two families worked together, they might be able to come up with 30 million Spirit Stones.
"There's no problem with the two families cooperating, but who will own the Armor Destroyer?"
There was no problem with cooperation, and they could take out the spirit stones, but this Armor Destroyer could only be controlled by one person. It couldn't be used by one family for a month. After erasing the spiritual imprint, it could be replaced by another person.
In other words, it wasn't something that a person could never give to another person. If they took the initiative to erase the spiritual imprint, it would become ownerless again.
"About this, I have discussed it with the old man. There are three ideas. The first is that the two families will each pay fifteen million spirit stones and the Armor Destroyer will be used alternately every six months. The second is that the Tang Family will lend fifteen million spirit stones and the Zhang Family will buy the battleship. The Tang Family will get half of the profits from each trip as interest. Finally, the Tang Family will invest fifteen million spirit stones and the Zhang Family will buy the battleship, but the Tang Family will split the profits 50-50."
The rest of the conversation was discussed by the two families. The two old men didn't interrupt.
The first idea was very easy to understand. The two families would each pay half of the profits from the battleship, and then the two families would use the battleship alternately. But there was a point. The Zhang Family's strength and status were higher than the Tang Family's, so the result was self-evident.
If the Zhang Family used the battleship for half a year, then after half a year, there would be nothing left on the island. Although there were more than ten islands, it was normal that most of them had been explored.
What if there were some powerful demon beasts left on the island? The Tang Family's strength was still a bit lacking. Although Old Man Tang's cultivation had advanced in the past six months, there was still a gap between him and the Venerable realm.
It would be difficult for him to break through in a short time. The key point was that it wasn't something that could be broken through at will. If he suddenly had an epiphany, he could immediately break through. But if he didn't have this kind of opportunity, who knew how long it would take?
The second idea was that the Tang Family would lend 15 million spirit stones to the Zhang Family, but the battleship would belong to the Zhang Family. Although the Zhang Family would return the 15 million spirit stones, it was indeed a little too little to take half of the profits from the sea as interest.
After all, 15 million spirit stones was a huge loss for the Tang Family. But the majority of the profits from the sea had nothing to do with the Tang Family. Just half of the profits was nothing.
In other words, the Zhang Family didn't want the Tang Family to play with them. They just needed the Tang Family's spirit stones now. In the future, the Zhang Family could go to sea at any time, so they had another source of income.
Tang Shen also found it a little difficult to accept this. Obviously, this was not what he wanted. But if the Zhang Family really wanted to borrow spirit stones, they had no choice but to do so because of the Zhang Family's power and the situation in Miracle City.
After all, the two families were on the same side. Moreover, if they didn't form an alliance, the Zhang Family still had a Venerable realm expert. The Tang Family didn't have one at the moment. If they were suppressed by the Li and Ye Families, then the situation would be a little dangerous.
This was also ruled out by Tang Shen. Now, there were many small forces that were constantly producing Martial Emperors. Many ants could bite an elephant to death.
The last condition was that the Tang Family would invest 15 million spirit stones and the ownership of the Armor Destroyer Battleship would belong to the Zhang Family.
This was equivalent to the Zhang Family earning 15 million spirit stones and owning the Armor Destroyer Battleship. However, the profits from the sea would be divided into 50%, which was half of the profits.
It wasn't just going to sea once. If the Zhang Family went to sea in the future, they would get half of the loot from the Tang Family. This was a continuous stream of business.
Moreover, the Zhang Family was stronger, so they would be able to obtain more loot. After a long time, they would be able to earn back their capital and interest.
Tang Shen wasn't just thinking about the island. After all, the island was limited. No matter how long it would take to explore it, it would be finished sooner or later. The use of the Armor Destroyer Battleship in the future was very important.
Sea beasts had always been a hot commodity in the Inland Empire. Whether it was the meat or the materials from the sea beasts, even low level sea beasts were scarce in the Inland Empire. After all, transportation was very difficult in the past, and there was no teleportation formation.
Even if it was a lot better now, the price of the teleportation array was still very high. Even if there were many cities in the Aquamarine Empire, only a few forces could eat the meat of the sea beasts every day.
Tang Shen didn't immediately make a decision. Instead, he discussed it with Grandfather Tang and decided on the third condition. This was also the basis for playing together.
"Brother Zhang, do you know how to use the battleship?"
Tang Shen thought about it and decided to remind him.
"Oh, I'd like to hear the details."
Zhang Yun was only interested in the island's resources. As for the other conditions, he hadn't thought too much about it for now.
"Sea beasts are relatively rare. Even if we finish exploring the island, we can still use the Armor Destroyer Battleship to hunt sea beasts."
Tang Shen didn't continue. The people present weren't fools. They immediately understood that Zhang Yun hadn't thought about it yet. He would definitely think about it once he got the battleship.
"Little Shen, you have foresight."
Grandfather Zhang Zhengfeng also praised.
"I don't dare to accept your praise."
Tang Shen said very modestly.
After confirming the general intention of cooperation, the remaining details needed to be discussed. For example, the cost of using the cannons and so on.
