Chapter 206: Chapter 128: Impressive, My Village Chief_2

"Of course, there’s no problem." Saying this, Zhou Bai took Simmons to Zhong Yongnian’s stall.

There were already lots of people in line, but upon seeing Simmons, they all gave up their spots to him.

Simmons didn’t turn down this "favor," and after purchasing a sufficient quantity, he left having accomplished his mission.

Even though he had left, the influence he brought didn’t stop there; the previously interested Mercenary Team Captains regrouped.

"The Mayor probably plans to cooperate with the people from Hope Village; their Identity might not be simple."

"So we’re just giving up like that?" one of them said with discontent.

"If we had the Mayor’s support, our chances of success would be high, but now he doesn’t support us and has put forward Wendell. The likelihood of us getting the recipe is too slim."

The few were silent; reality forced them to give up.

The path to wealth and success was right before their eyes.

As they were hesitating, they suddenly saw Zhou Bai approaching them.

They exchanged glances, unsure whether to disperse or wait for him to come over.

As they were tangled in their thoughts, Zhou Bai had already arrived in front of them.

"I am Zhou Bai, the Village Chief of Hope Village."

The moment they heard "Hope Village Chief," the Mercenary Team Captains understood at once, and the greed in their hearts dissipated quite a bit.

They all made a polite gesture of respect.

"I’ve heard you’re interested in our territory’s specialty product?" Zhou Bai asked directly.

With this remark, an awkward expression surfaced on their faces.

Was the other party coming to confront them directly?

As they were unsure whether to deny it or apologize, Zhou Bai spoke up, "Beast Meat jerky is just one of the special delicacies of our territory. There are many more products, and many do not fall short in comparison to the jerky."

Hearing Zhou Bai’s bold claims, they were somewhat skeptical.

As if he didn’t see their reaction, Zhou Bai said indifferently, "Let’s set aside those things for later. Speaking of the present, I’m interested in discussing the jerky business with you. Are you willing?"

"The jerky business? Wasn’t that handed over to Wendell?"

"What Wendell got was just the market in Bengala Town; there are so many territories in this world," Zhou Bai hinted.

Listening to Zhou Bai’s words, their eyes lit up, signaling Zhou Bai to continue.

"In a designated territory, we will only sell our products to one team. We will stick to a fixed price; how high you can sell it for is up to your own skills. We only have one condition, and that is your team needs to regularly supply us with an amount of Beast Meat no less than what you take from us," Zhou Bai laid out her condition clearly.

"What’s your fixed price?" someone couldn’t help but ask.

"The current selling price, minus twenty percent," Zhou Bai replied.

Knowing that these Mercenary Team Captains were still observing them suggested they had not fully let go. To make their return journey less troublesome, it was better to bind them to her own boat.

The "crisis" encountered this time in Bengala Town also proved one thing: Hope Village was still a fragile sapling on the Stan Continent, unable to withstand a serious storm. Instead of seeking development by themselves, it was better to leverage the strength of others, to spread and dominate the market with the goods of Hope Village as widely as possible.

As a major distribution center for goods, Hope Village’s harvest definitely won’t be lacking!

This was also the choice she made after weighing the gap between Hope Village and the native territories, the one she felt could flip the situation the fastest.

The Mercenary Team Captains looked at each other, all touched unanimously.

Clearly, Zhou Bai’s terms had struck a chord with them.

They knew very well that if the scale was large enough, the profits they would reap would be substantial.

Now, was this option preferable, even at the risk of offending Bengala Town and Lord Viscount?

"Can your territory supply such a large quantity of Beast Meat?"

"Not currently, but as long as we sign a contract, we will soon be able to supply it," Zhou Bai said without hesitation.

If the deal went through, the next step would definitely be to establish a specialized Factory for production, and the territory would surely need to hold shares in it.

These several Mercenary Teams were the backbone she represented to negotiate with Zhong Yongnian.

"Okay," they all agreed at once.

At that moment, someone couldn’t help but ask, "Aside from our Mercenary Teams, can other teams not here do the same?"

"Of course, if you can recommend five Mercenary Teams, I can arrange for you to control the market of an additional territory," Zhou Bai offered directly. Tool Man teams, the more the merrier! This could save her so much trouble!

"Can we sign the contract now?" A Mercenary Team couldn’t wait to ask.

"Yes," Zhou Bai agreed without hesitation.

Then, Zhou Bai signed contracts with several people in the name of Hope Village Chief.

After the contract was signed and its contents were recognized by the system, Zhou Bai took a long breath.

The last bit of nagging worry had disappeared!

She’d even turned a passive situation into an active one!

Reflecting on the whole process, there was only one thing to say: the Identity of a village chief... it’s incredibly useful!

They really had good luck this time!

If she had not accepted the role of Acting Village Chief, they would have foolishly ended up on another’s territory, completely at their mercy.

The Mercenary Team Captains, with contracts in hand, quickly left; they had to hurry and "recruit" people! The temptation of opening up another territory’s market!

While Zhou Bai had finished negotiating, Yun Juncai had also returned with Zhong Yongnian and the others, immediately reporting on the cooperation with Wendell.

"We only gave him the market in Bengala Town," Yun Juncai declared, then looking at Zhou Bai, he asked, "What did you discuss with the other Mercenary Team Captains just now?"

Zhou Bai looked at Yun Juncai and the others, straightforwardly went over the contracts she had just signed, and shared her plans, "Once we’re back in our territory, we’ll discuss the specific division of profits. You’re very clear, without the backing of a territory, it’s difficult for a single merchant team to break through."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yongnian said without hesitation, "I’m willing to get involved on behalf of the territory, and I’m also willing to share the recipe with you."

Regarding everything Zhou Bai had just done, he only wanted to say one thing in his heart.

Bravo to my village chief!

If successful, their Hope Village would definitely become the "Yiwu" of the food industry on the Stan Continent.

Even if the territory held the majority stake, the profits he could earn would surely be more, not less.

Most importantly, it was safe!

With Zhong Yongnian, a core member, having no objections, the others were even more so, with some already pre-booking their own specialty products.

Seeing that this matter was settled, Zhou Bai’s thoughts became even more firm.

Once she returned to Hope Village, she would be buried in the industrial production of goods, devotedly building the territory.

Bengala Town would be the next target for Hope Village’s development!
