Chapter 874: Chapter 872: Ask your shareholders if they dare to stop me

"Sir, I need to consult the boss about this; I can’t make the decision on my own!"

It’s Laurent’s first time encountering such an outrageous customer. They’re supposed to be selling metals, and now there’s someone who wants to buy their entire metal mine.

It’s like someone wanting to buy a spaceship, and then suddenly realizing they have too much money, finds that the spaceship company doesn’t have enough ships to sell, so they just buy the spaceship factory outright.

But he wouldn’t dare refuse this big shot’s request. This person can easily stir their major shareholder, who is a Level Eight Life Form. If this person becomes dissatisfied, his fate would be no different from that unlucky salesperson earlier.

"No worries, you go ask, I give you the time!" If Zhang Menglong had the energy and time, he might even consider starting his own company to mine metal, ensuring a continuous supply of high-grade metal for Ganei to consume.

...

"Boss, it’s Laurent."

"How is it going? Has the matter been resolved?" The voice of the boss of the mining group was still very serious, "The major shareholder just emphasized again that this customer is an incredibly important person, someone even the shareholder cannot afford to offend, and he needs to appease them!"

"What?" Laurent realized he might have underestimated this young man.

Initially, he thought at most that there was some connection behind the scenes, like a family elder having ties with the major shareholder of their company.

Now it seemed that his perspective was too small; the major shareholder couldn’t afford to offend this person, and was even seeking favors — what kind of background does he have?

"Boss, the customer is not pursuing the inventory issue now, but his current request..."

"What’s his request now?"

"He wants to buy our mines!"

"This..." The mining group boss fell silent at this request, considering that the most valuable things in the universe are resources. All the company’s mines have been hard-earned, often having undergone numerous resource wars.

The universe is essentially a no-man’s land, where mineral resources belong to whoever is strong enough. Their company’s strength allowed them to occupy these resources.

At the time, to seize these mines, they engaged in warfare against fleets exceeding 200 standard Level Five Advanced Civilization fleets and Peak Civilization fleets. Several mining companies were caught in wars that lasted hundreds of years before finally winning the rights to develop the mining area!

These painstakingly acquired resources are not something anyone would willingly give away!

"By the way," Zhang Menglong suddenly added, "I heard you left 120 Level Five Peak Civilization standard fleets at this yh1908 metal production site, correct?"

Through the communicator, the boss of Ophir Mining Company heard Zhang Menglong’s words. He was correct; there indeed were 120 Level Five Peak Civilization standard fleets at that mine site.

One could almost say this type of metal is the most expensive in the universe, with no alternatives. The competition for it is exceptionally fierce, with attacks occurring every few hundred or thousand years, hence the need for such high-spec fleets.

Moreover, a large fleet is always ready to provide support when needed.

Of course, most of the time these fleets remain on standby.

"My requirements aren’t that demanding. You don’t need to return the 3.72 trillion Dark Coins; it’s troublesome to refund such an amount. I just want all your inventory and this mine," Zhang Menglong said, "You can choose not to sell, but perhaps I have a reason not to spend a penny and still acquire this mine. You can ask your shareholders if they dare to block me."

Zhang Menglong’s tone was extremely calm, but infused with such strong confidence and dominance that it was irresistible.

To refer to 3.72 trillion Dark Coins as "this bit of money" shows this young man has far more than just 3.72 trillion Dark Coins to offer!

The boss of Ophir Mining Group was startled by such a threatening statement. Is this really buying a mine? This was more like coercion. Essentially, he’s saying, you don’t have to sell, but I can still seize it!

Regarding whether Zhang Menglong has such capability, he wouldn’t dare gamble!

The company only reached its current scale due to the support of shareholders.

For instance, their major shareholder owns 1720 Level Five Civilizations, with at least 300 being Level Five Advanced Civilizations or higher—not many in the universe could surpass him!

And for this young man to instill fear in their major shareholder, he certainly had reasons to believe this young man’s background was even stronger!

He was aware that this mining area had 12 Level Five Peak Civilization standard fleets, and even then, he dared to make such assertive threats — clearly disregarding these 12 fleets!

If this young man truly intends to take it by force, their major shareholder probably wouldn’t dare block him!

"Sell to him!" After contemplating, he made the final decision.

After all, these mineral resources aren’t infinite; so far, the extracted and refined metals from this area are approximately over 50 million tons, and the proved reserves are around 120 million tons. Combined with a 2300-ton inventory and about 7000 tons of unextracted reserves, it’s just under 100 million tons.

At any rate, they’re still profiting!

Moreover, even if all the resources are extracted, it takes ages to realize the value. Paying upfront money is like taking millions, even tens of millions of years of profits—it’s unequivocally a lucrative deal!

Besides, everyone is scrambling to gather Dark Coins; this 3.72 billion Dark Coins can certainly enable their shareholders to purchase more desired items at the exposition, ensuring tangible benefits!

Sell! Not selling would be foolish! Not only should they sell, but also give Zhang Menglong a heap of freebies!

Understanding this, they didn’t need to hesitate anymore!

"Sir, our boss has agreed to your request," Laurent said, "We presented you with a bad experience today. Our boss is also willing to give you an additional 10 million tons of other s9-grade metals; are you satisfied?"

"Your boss has some vision!" Zhang Menglong discerned that the counterpart agreed very briskly, even without consulting shareholders, proving the business was a definite profit.

It’s merely a trivial amount of several trillion Dark Coins; he couldn’t care less. If he wanted, he could set up shop selling Blind Boxes, with hordes scrambling to give money without even needing a day to earn back—who else in the universe could earn faster than him?

"Prepare a portion for me; the rest will wait for my instructions. I’ll send you the address!"

"Alright, this way, please, we’ll proceed to sign the contract now!"

...

"Sir, take care; we look forward to working with you again!"

Several hours later, Zhang Menglong departed from the Ophir Mining Group’s booth with Ganei. He could just store these metals on an uninhabited planet.

In the universe, planets without civilization are virtually worthless; one Cosmic Coin can rent a planet as large as Jupiter for hundreds of years to use as a warehouse.

Ganei carried a bulging backpack filled with various s9-grade metals, which for him, previously unable to even consume the most lousy metals, is akin to a dream for a Moha Clan lifeforce.

Ganei casually fetched a s9 metal-melted sphere and tossed it into his mouth, "Big brother, where are we going now?"

"Time to handle business!" With Ganei’s matter resolved, Zhang Menglong remembered his primary purpose at the cosmic expo is to acquire top fleets for Earth.
