Super Gene Hunting Ground-Chapter 842 - 840: Going to Witch Star?
Long Aotian returned to Karachi City and first gathered Jino, Elder Qi, and others to tell them about Yang Xiao's cooperation proposal.
"Jino, you all should analyze this. What is Yang Xiao's intention with this proposal? If we accept, what are the pros and cons?"
Jino thought for a moment and said:
"Yang Xiao's proposal has both advantages and disadvantages. On the advantageous side, naturally, we won't have to make such an effort to station ourselves on Purple Origin Star to mine. We can simply purchase from Yang Xiao,
and he is selling at the current purchase price without increasing it. We can indeed reduce a lot of costs, and more importantly, it reduces a lot of conflicts and even wars."
"Of course, the disadvantage is also obvious. We will lose autonomous control over the Purple Origin Star Crystal Mine, and in the future, buying crystal stones will depend on Yang Xiao's mood. He could sell more to us, or sell more to the Youming Empire, Snow Leopard Empire, and other empires."
On the side, Elder Qi said:
"If Yang Xiao can supply crystal stone mines to all empires proportionately as per the agreement, it's not a bad thing. It's just that in the future, we might find ourselves somewhat passive."
Long Aotian, Jino, and others studied for half a day and still did not come to a conclusion. Finally, they decided to throw the question to Hai Mu, Aguda, and others for discussion.
The next day, Hai Mu and others came to Karachi City. Upon hearing Long Aotian's proposal, they immediately started discussing.
"Wow, if Yang Xiao operates like this, he will be the boss of Purple Origin Star in the future."
"The current issue is not about who becomes the boss, but how the crystal resources are distributed. If he can provide stable supply to us, then this proposal is quite good. We don't have to fight tooth and nail on Purple Origin Star, just spend some money to buy it, convenient and simple."
"You are oversimplifying the problem. Is Yang Xiao that nice? According to his proposal, in the future, we will be under his control and will have to act according to his mood."
"I'm not as pessimistic as you guys. If Yang Xiao doesn't sell us the crystals, who else will he sell to? He can't consume it himself."
"Exactly, the Wildman can't refine Genetic Evolution Potion by themselves, they must sell to us to exchange for Crystal Coins to buy various goods from the Genetic Store."
"For us small countries, if we can directly purchase from Yang Xiao every month, we're also lazy to go mining."
...
Everyone was discussing the matter, with smaller empires more inclined to agree with Yang Xiao's new proposal, while larger empires like Hai Mu and Aguda, expressed more worry than joy.
Hai Mu said:
"Long Aotian, did you and Yang Xiao come up with this bad idea together?"
Long Aotian looked innocent,
"Why am I involved in this? I just found out about it yesterday."
"Your Great Dragon Empire and Wildman City are allies. If Wildman sells more crystal stones to you in the future, we wouldn't even know about it. Doesn't it benefit your Great Dragon Empire?"
Aguda immediately said:
"True, if all mine bases are handed over to Wildman and we don't know how much they are mining, they could sell more crystal stones to you privately, wouldn't we be at a big loss?"
Long Aotian laughed,
"This is just Yang Xiao's proposal, isn't he seeking everyone's consent?
Yang Xiao said this is an initial proposal, if you have any opinions, you can raise them, everyone can seek a mutually acceptable plan,
let me say, this proposal does have novelty and highlights, but I also worry that once Yang Xiao's Wildman City controls Purple Origin Star, will they choke us, for example, raising prices, reducing supply, or unfair distribution, etc."
In the end, everyone argued and discussed for a long time without reaching a consensus.
"For such a big issue, we must report to our Emperor. I suggest we negotiate and modify this proposal with Yang Xiao, then send it back to Witch Star for the Imperial assembly to discuss."
Everyone agreed.
Long Aotian took another trip to Wildman City, personally discussing the new plan with Yang Xiao, adding a procurement committee institution, composed of representatives from each empire. During monthly crystal stone sales, everyone supervises each other's purchase quantities.
Moreover, Yang Xiao also proposed a new concept, for example, taking out 80% of the ore and selling it to each empire at the current basic price, with the remaining 20% of crystal stones being auctioned, with the highest bidder winning.
"Your Highness, if you can push this proposal through, it would be most advantageous for your Great Dragon Empire, after all, your current share is the highest, and we are allies, you know."
Long Aotian was stunned,
"I know?"
Yang Xiao said irritably,
"You are so dumb, how will you inherit the throne of Great Dragon Empire in the future, I'm really worried about your IQ."
Long Aotian: "@#￥%"
"First, each empire agrees to a purchasing proportion based on the current share, with Great Dragon Empire having the highest proportion, naturally taking the lead in the future, which is equivalent to your securing a large proportion of the entire Purple Origin Star's crystal stone content, think about it, right now, controlling just Karachi City and Pegasus City doesn't account for even one-tenth of the planet's crystal deposits?"
Long Aotian slapped his thigh,
"Ah, I understand!"
Yang Xiao chuckled lightly and continued,
"Moreover, in auctions, the higher the price, those small empires have no capital to compete with you, of course, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer."
Long Aotian scratched his head,
"You won't shout a sky-high price, right?"
"I, sigh, we are just earning some extra income, I have to feed hundreds of thousands of Wildmen, and you will no longer have to mine, all the human and material costs have to be borne by me."
...
After over ten days of bargaining, Yang Xiao, Long Aotian, and Hai Mu together drafted a new proposal, which everyone felt they could basically accept.
Everyone returned to their respective cities and sent the proposal back to the Imperial Empire on Witch Star.
A spaceship from the Great Dragon Empire happened to arrive on Purple Origin Star to transport crystal stones, so Long Aotian decided to personally return this time, first to report to his father and receive the reward for his outstanding contribution on Purple Origin Star, second to personally explain Yang Xiao's new proposal.
Long Aotian found that he didn't dislike Yang Xiao that much anymore, even somewhat liked him, and privately sighed that if someone as talented as Yang Xiao could work for him, it would be great.
"Yang Xiao, I'm planning to return to Witch Star, to personally explain your new proposal to my father, do you, as the representative of the Wildman, want to come with me to Witch Star?"
Yang Xiao was taken aback,
"Go with you to Witch Star?"
"Yes, have you never thought about going to Witch Star for a visit? Aren't you curious at all?"
"You wouldn't kill me once I get to Witch Star, would you?"
Long Aotian: "...."
"Yang Xiao, you really are a bit annoying, I'm sincerely inviting you, don't you want to facilitate this new cooperation proposal? I'm giving you a chance,
don't think I don't know your inner thoughts, you just want to help the Wildman rise, rule the entire Purple Origin Star, and expand your strength?
But I must remind you, no matter how strong your Wildman becomes, if we truly want to destroy you, we just need the Great Dragon Empire to send heavy troops to sweep Purple Origin Star,
you and we are not on the same level, understand?
Do you know which part of your proposal truly moved me and held the most value?"
"Which part?"
"You were able to turn hundreds of thousands of Wildmen into miners, having them willingly go into the mines to dig, that's what I value the most,
we've been painstakingly capturing alien slaves as miners at enormous costs, the price is too high. I've never considered that Wildmen could also be miners,
of course, the prerequisite for Wildmen willingly becoming miners is that they receive peace, and their so-called dignity, this peace and dignity I can give you,
but don't get carried away, don't forget, this is given to you by us, and we can take it back at any time."
Yang Xiao looked at Long Aotian smugly and couldn't say a word.
Indeed, Long Aotian hit where it hurt for Yang Xiao.
Weak nations have no diplomacy, no matter how much he exhausted scheming, the disparity in strength between both sides made it impossible to escape the crushed position.
"Alright, I'll go with you to Witch Star, give me a few days to settle things here."
