Chapter 330: Chapter 320: Transaction

"I see, then see you tonight."

Long Chen quietly pinched Zhao Churan’s little hand.

"Mm-hmm." Zhao Churan was secretly thrilled.

It had been a while since she and Long Chen had been intimate, and she missed it dearly.

Beautiful moments always passed too quickly.

Due to a sleepless night, Long Chen had also kept Zhao Churan awake all night.

The next day, everyone went to work except for Zhao Churan, who could not get out of bed and stayed home to rest.

Long Chen followed Li Yuechan and others to the company because today, there was going to be a significant "collaboration" to discuss.

Before that, Long Chen had printed out ten Elixir Formulas.

Of course, all ten Elixir Formulas had major flaws, missing two ingredients, having one wrong ingredient; it was impossible for anyone to successfully make Elixir from them.

After finishing these preparations, Long Chen asked Li Yuechan to call Wu Peng, asking him to bring the Third Son of Heavenly God Temple to discuss the collaboration in person.

At two in the afternoon, the Third Son arrived at the top-floor meeting room in the Dragon Shadow Building with Wu De and an elderly man in a black robe.

At this meeting, more than a dozen senior executives from Dragon Shadow attended, making it look highly impressive.

In addition, personnel from Dragon Shadow Security were personally guarding the surroundings.

"Third Son, before the meeting officially begins, I think it’s necessary to know your real name since we’re about to enter into a collaboration."

Long Chen stared at the Third Son.

The Third Son smiled and nodded, saying, "That’s reasonable, my name is Ning Shenji."

"Ning Shenji, noted. Actually, I am very reluctant about this collaboration, after all, it involves my company’s secrets, but... alas, I can’t oppose a bunch of fools blinded by money."

Long Chen’s eyes coldly swept across the entire room.

This was naturally an act, but his performance was impeccably refined.

"General Long, it isn’t that we’re blinded by money, but in today’s situation, not only can we get a considerable sum of money, we can also collaborate with Heavenly God Temple, as the saying goes—more friends, more paths."

"I think so too."

The numerous board members at the meeting table were all playing along with the act.

This flawless performance led Ning Shenji to have no doubts whatsoever.

Ning Shenji spoke earnestly, "You are all wise people, indeed, even Heavenly God Temple needs friends to truly dominate the world; a single person is still just a person, but as individuals, we must never indulge in personal heroism, Mr. Long, don’t you agree?"

"I just hope that once you acquire the Elixir Formula, you won’t cause any harm to the world. If I discover that you have, I will certainly not let it pass," said Long Chen sternly.

"Mr. Long jests, we have come here today to discuss matters, and the price hasn’t even been set yet, we may not accept your price," Ning Shenji said.

"Oh? Is that so? Then there’s no need to talk further, if there is no sincerity, further negotiations are pointless, please leave."

Long Chen was very decisive.

"No, no," Wu Peng hurriedly said. "Mr. Long, it’s like this, we learned previously from Mrs. Li Yuechan that each Elixir Formula was priced at two billion, can this price be lowered?"

"Two billion?" Long Chen became furious. "Li Yuechan, what do you mean? I clearly set the price at 2.5 billion, why did you secretly change it to two billion?"

Li Yuechan, upon hearing this, feigned a slight change in her expression and then said, "I... we thought that 2.5 billion was a bit too much, but we didn’t dare tell you, so we could only do it this way. After all, our funds are in trouble, and we urgently need money to tide us over."

"You are simply being reckless, this is..."

"General Long, I think CEO Li’s decision is not wrong, I hope General Long can consider the bigger picture, of course, the decision is still in your hands, it’s up to you."

"Please reconsider, General Long."

A group of actors all successively spoke up.

Long Chen appeared as if he had been backed into a corner, trying to contain his anger yet acting exquisitely.

Zhao Churan and others could not help but admire him—when it came to acting skills, Long Chen was indeed second to none.

"Mr. Long, I think two billion per Elixir Formula is already a high price, but I can barely accept it. If you raise it further, it truly exceeds my capability."

Ning Shenji spoke earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Long Chen replied without any mercy, "You are well aware of the value of the Elixir Formulas, so even hearing a price of two billion each, you still decided to come for negotiations. Therefore, I don’t want to say more, two billion one hundred million apiece, if you are willing, then we’ll sign the contract; if not, you can leave."

"Fine, we’ll find another opportunity to talk, farewell."

Ning Shenji got up to leave.

Wu Peng was anxious but did not dare to stop him.

The elder who came with Ning Shenji followed him, expressionless.

Seeing their departure, Long Chen showed no intention of retaining them; his expression was stoic.

Just when everything seemed to be falling apart,

As Ning Shenji reached the door, he suddenly turned around and returned to his seat, wearing a smile, he said, "Mr. Long, after thinking it over carefully, two billion five hundred million per Elixir Formula, we can make a deal; how many Elixir Formulas do you have here now?"

"Ten Elixir Formulas," Long Chen said.

"Ten, so the total price would be twenty-one billion, but I only brought ten billion this time, how about giving ten billion first, and the remaining eleven billion to be paid after ten days? I can write an IOU and also record a video as evidence, would that be acceptable?"

Ning Shenji stared at Long Chen.

"Sure," Long Chen readily agreed.

Right now, of course, the goal was to take as much as possible.

Seeing Long Chen agree, Ning Shenji immediately beamed with joy, "Mr. Long, you are indeed a decisive man. Before the transaction, I would like to inspect one of the Elixir Formulas first, if that’s alright?"

"I cannot let you inspect every Elixir Formula—what if you memorize them all in one go and just walk away? Right? So, I’ll only allow you to pick one randomly to inspect, just one, whichever one you choose."

Long Chen took out the Elixir Formulas, placing them face down on the table.

"That’s acceptable." Ning Shenji turned to the elder beside him and said, "Medicine Elder, please proceed."

"Yes."

The Medicine Elder reached out and randomly selected one Elixir Formula to examine closely.

He studied the Elixir Formula, seeming to be silently deducing something, his eyebrows alternately furrowing and relaxing.

Long Chen watched, utterly unflustered.

This Elixir Formula apparently showed no flaws at the surface; only during actual alchemy would the issues emerge.

After a long while, the elder returned the Elixir Formula to Li Xiu.

"Medicine Elder, how is it?"

Ning Shenji asked urgently.

The elder leaned forward, whispering, "Third Son, this Elixir Formula is definitely genuine, truly extraordinary. Some of the ingredients are quite rare, but no matter, we should be able to find them during alchemy."

"Good."

Ning Shenji broke out in a broad smile.

He then looked at Long Chen and said, "Mr. Long, let us then sign the contract and commence the transaction."
