Chapter 1052: Chapter 1052: Inviting the Ancestor Again

Feng Jun really put a lot of thought into the Earth Plane, trying to find an appropriate entry point in the Mobile Phone Plane to bring something back to his hometown to earn money openly and legitimately.

But after much contemplation, he realized that he lacked financial capital on Earth—not just a little, but a lot. Small amounts were not lacking, but large amounts were insufficient, so he felt whatever he brought back probably couldn’t be used to make money honorably.

Bulk commodities were out of the question, and high-added value products... he couldn’t justify their origins.

Yet, he still made contingency plans—just in case an opportunity came up someday.

Graphene was something he was fairly optimistic about; its processing didn’t require much technology—strictly speaking, the related technology didn’t necessarily need a strong industrial base, the methods of cultivators could also be considered.

Moreover, the things he processed, the Mobile Phone Plane definitely couldn’t figure out what he was doing, so there was no need to worry about exposing his roots.

Of course, the most crucial point was that graphene was quite expensive; high-purity graphene could reach a thousand per gram, high conductivity graphene was also five to six hundred per gram, even the loosest graphene was tens of dollars per gram.

High-purity graphene has very little usage in Huaxia, only a few kilograms per year. In fact, the application of high-purity graphene is quite broad, but it’s just too expensive and production is limited, forcing people to resort to lower-grade substitutes.

Anyway, Feng Jun didn’t mind these, even if he treated high-purity graphene as industrial graphene to sell, fifty bucks per gram was still very expensive, right?

Mainly, he figured out that producing graphene was really not costly for people in the Mobile Phone Plane, as labor here was inexpensive—jade polishing on Earth Realm relied on machinery, here it’s all about manual work, purely!

The key is that the cultivators here have great control over power, Feng Jun had no doubts that a cultivator in the out-of-world phase could produce at least ten kilograms of graphene per day.

Of course, there are even more profitable materials—such as superconducting materials and the like, but he felt those were not for him to consider.

Superconducting materials were not something that countries without an industrial base could handle, and its applications currently leaned towards military use, such as electromagnetic guns and the like, even if produced, selling them would be troublesome.

Graphene also has military uses, but many can also be applied in civilian devices, making them less sensitive.

Feng Jun has always been thinking about working with graphene in this Plane, but has never heard of any availability of graphite here.

Before this, his cultivation level was low, and he was a bit worried about consulting such matters, fearing others might suspect what he was up to. Once he advanced to the out-of-world phase, he wanted to make a move, but never encountered a good opportunity.

It must be said that in the Mobile Phone Plane, cultivation level really is the confidence. Now he heard that Tiantong’s business actually spans several planes, he couldn’t help asking: maybe other planes could produce cheaper graphene.

Of course, just talking wasn’t enough, he casually demonstrated what graphene is, not only bringing out samples but also peeling them layer by layer on the spot, until only that thin layer was left.

Huang Fu Flawless’s eyes blinked, using her Treasure-Appraising Eye dozens of times, nearly bursting into tears, feeling dizzy and nauseous.

In the end, she had to admit, I really don’t understand what Mountain Master Feng is doing.

But she understood the material, took some samples, and then voiced her question, "This item... What price do you plan to ask for it?"

Feng Jun knew that this was the time he couldn’t fail to set a price, so he pondered and then declared, "Under equal weight conditions, let’s do one-hundred to one with gold, one ounce of gold for a hundred ounces of graphene."

This price was indeed a bit shameless, with one gram of gold costing more than two hundred, meaning he intended to buy graphene at just over two dollars per gram.

But Feng Jun didn’t see it that way, a profit of less than a hundredfold, can you even say you are engaged in cross-dimensional trade?

And right now, industrial graphene on Earth Realm, the cheap kind is just several tens of dollars per gram, what he’s doing is merely a business of tenfold profit.

Huang Fu Flawless heard it and felt it was a bit uninteresting, "So you’re not trading with Spirit Stones."

"I’m saying, gold is also very precious," Feng Jun frowned slightly, "and gold mines are hard to find, while graphite mines are easy to find, just need some effort in processing... many planes aren’t short of labor, right?"

"Is that so?" Huang Fu Flawless looked at him skeptically, "I’ve never heard of graphite mines."

Feng Jun looked at her half-smiling, "How many planes have you been to? I can tell you definitively, there are many graphite mines."

"Is that so?" Huang Fu Flawless blinked, glancing at him, "Then how many planes have you been to?"

"Forget it, talking to you is too tiring," Feng Jun laughed nonchalantly, "If you don’t want to do it, just pretend you never heard me say this."

It’s just 2,400 tons of gold. What’s the big deal?

Okay... it actually is something, but the 2,000 tons of gold already found buyers and was exchanged for 40,000 Spirit Stones.

This batch of transactions was not a loss, though somewhat regrettable; but hey, who doesn’t have some regrets in life?

"What kind of attitude is that," Huang Fu Flawless laughed, "That’s not how you do business."

While saying that, she stood up and left, taking the samples of graphite and graphene with her.

After returning to her room, Chairman Huang Fu took out a statue, lit an incense stick, and sought the spiritual guidance of the ancestor.

Ancestor Huang Fu materialized in the air, "Hmm, I’m quite busy lately, let’s keep this short... Flawless, is it you again?"

Recently, he had been summoned by her several times, including for the division of the complicated plot in the Green Mist Sea, "You’ve been summoning me so often, almost half as much as the entire family combined. It’s not that your grandmother thinks I’m having an affair and sent you to probe, is it?"

It was a cold joke, as Huang Fu Flawless’s biological grandmother had long since passed away, and the current one was not recognized by her.

When Ancestor Huang Fu cracked this joke, it wasn’t to force her acknowledgment but to express his own poor mood.

Huang Fu Flawless was quite familiar with the ancestor’s preferences and knowing that he was displeased, sincerely replied, "I have a cross-dimensional business proposal, and I’m not sure whether to accept it."

Ancestor Huang Fu answered without hesitation, "Cross-dimensional business should certainly be taken... Are you worried that the other party might not be trustworthy?"

By the time he finished the latter half of the sentence, a hint of murderous intent could be heard in his voice.

Cross-dimensional business doesn’t always guarantee profit, but the main reason for not profiting is the associated risks. Ancestor Huang Fu instinctively thought that perhaps the collaborators his granddaughter found were unreliable.

"No, ancestor," Huang Fu Flawless sincerely answered, "I’m just a bit puzzled..."

Upon hearing that it wasn’t a business involving Spirit Stones, Ancestor Huang Fu became even more impatient: Spirit Stones are fundamental, how could you not understand this after being in business for so long?

The scale of the transaction didn’t interest him much either; merely tens of millions of taels of Gold, it should at least be over a hundred million taels for you to involve me—a Golden Core Master is not so easily trifled with.

However, having listened for so long, he didn’t mind listening for a while longer. It isn’t easy for spirit to descend each time; having come anyway, he might as well listen to the younger generation’s ideas.

After all, this is still the attitude he held towards his descendants, even though what he planned was to deliver a harsh blow after fully listening.

However, upon seeing the samples that Huang Fu Flawless took out, he was stunned, and after a long moment, he sighed softly, "This item... it’s called graphite? It’s a product from the Chaos Plane."

The Chaos Plane, also known as the Chaos Plane, is a place with very scarce resources, even unable to sustain itself due to most of the plane being barren rock mountains,

The Chaos Plane is a high-martial plane and does have Cultivators, but the Spiritual Energy is not particularly abundant, containing only about a dozen Golden Cores.

Ancestor Huang Fu had once hitched a ride across different planes twice—being a Golden Core, he aimed to broaden his horizons.

However, cross-dimensional transportation requires at least a Golden Core as the lower limit, so his understanding of most planes is superficial.

But he was quite familiar with the Chaos Plane; apart from some small Spirit Stone Mines, it contains only some deposits of obsidian, ferrous metal, and cannot produce enough food to be self-sufficient.

That plane relies on trading its minerals with the outside world in exchange for food, and many hard currencies are also traded with Spirit Stones.

If this graphene can be produced, the people here would not offer a high price.

Originally, Ancestor Huang Fu had no interest in caring about such small deals, but if it could curry favor with people from the Chaos Plane, it would be beneficial—he would have opened up a source of wealth for them.

He looked carefully at the graphite and graphite, nodding slightly, "This deal can indeed be made, but did Feng Jun mention what he wants the graphene for?"

Huang Fu Flawless shook her head with a wry smile, "How would such a smart man tell me that?"

Ancestor Huang Fu only pondered for a moment before making up his mind, "You first finalize it with him that, henceforth, the graphene will only be traded with the Huang Fu Family... not with Tiantong, only then can we proceed with this matter."

He wanted to use this to maintain a good relationship with the Golden Cores of the Chaos Plane; if anyone else besides the Huang Fu family were to also handle graphene, his plan would fall through.

Huang Fu Flawless thought for a moment, then nodded, "This shouldn’t be a problem, he loves wealth, so what next? Just agree to the price he quoted?"

"You can negotiate the price a bit more," Ancestor Huang Fu was not adept in business, but he understood the basic rules, "Trading Gold for graphene might not be worthwhile... it would be best if half could be paid with food."

On the Chaos Plane, food is the real hard currency; although the price of Gold is not low, food involves life and death and is a necessary for survival.

"About that... I’ll have to ask him," Huang Fu Flawless picked up her mobile phone to dial, unsure if Feng Jun was in his room, but the intercom was too unreliable to trust without trying first.

Feng Jun was in the courtyard and picked up the phone, astonished upon hearing the request, "You want food?"
