I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 224 - 5: The First Thing After Returning Is, Of Course, Reaping the Leeks!

Chapter 224: Chapter 5: The First Thing After Returning Is, Of Course, Reaping the Leeks!

Looking at Chairman Liu in front of him, Lin Chen contemplated for a moment.

Compared to Chairman Zheng, the new Chairman Liu is much younger.

Lin Chen also discerned a greater ambition in his eyes.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen thought to himself, "Since you have ambition, let’s see if you can handle it!"

With this in mind, Lin Chen took out a jade box.

"Haha, since Chairman Liu has given a greeting gift, I should return the favor..."

"I wonder if Chairman Liu is interested in the little trinket in this box?"

Chairman Liu cheerfully accepted the jade box, thinking to himself that no matter what the trinket was, he had to buy it.

After all, this was the first transaction between the two sides, and a good impression needed to be made.

But when Chairman Liu saw the pill in the jade box, he was stunned.

Confusion, surprise, disbelief...

Chairman Liu’s face quickly changed, performing a rapid series of expressions.

The air froze for several seconds, and Lin Chen could even hear Chairman Liu’s accelerated heartbeat.

"Gulp~"

Chairman Liu swallowed his saliva, cautiously asking:

"Senior, this pill... is it the one I’m thinking of?"

Lin Chen smiled relaxedly,

"I don’t know what you are thinking, but this is a Golden Yuan Pill, middle grade quality."

"I wonder if Chairman Liu is interested in this pill?"

"Yes! Extremely interested!"

After the shock, Chairman Liu’s expression became unusually rich and suddenly turned excited.

"Senior, please forgive my rudeness... I really didn’t expect a treasure like the Golden Yuan Pill to appear in such a small place."

"Are you planning to let Guangyuan Auction House auction this pill?"

Lin Chen nodded after hearing this and said: "It would be best if it can be auctioned."

After hearing Lin Chen’s words, Chairman Liu paced in place for a while, as if he was contemplating.

After a long while, he made up his mind and said:

"Senior, rest assured, leave it to me! I guarantee I’ll sell this pill beautifully for you!"

"Currently, I can’t determine the pill’s grade; I need to summon an appraiser from headquarters for evaluation..."

"In addition, the auction of the Golden Yuan Pill is also significant, and given the current strength of the Guangyuan Town branch, it may not be able to hold it; therefore, I need to summon Golden Core Cultivators from the Commerce Association headquarters."

Lin Chen nodded after hearing this, and didn’t object to it.

Just one Foundation Establishment Pill could make a group of cultivators at Qi Refining Perfection draw their knives and fight bloody battles.

Let alone a Golden Yuan Pill?

If put up for auction, those Foundation Establishment Cultivators would fight on the spot, and the strength of the Guangyuan Town auction indeed couldn’t intimidate everyone.

Summoning Golden Core Cultivators and appraisers from headquarters is naturally to stabilize the scene.

After pondering while holding his head, Lin Chen asked: "How long does it take to summon manpower from headquarters?"

Chairman Liu confidently said:

"As short as seven days, as long as ten days, I can summon Golden Core Stage cultivators from the Commerce Association..."

"Counting the preliminary warm-up of the auction, I estimate the first auction of the Golden Yuan Pill can take place one month later. How do you feel about this timing, Senior?"

Lin Chen nodded after hearing this; auctioning one month later, this efficiency is not low.

But Lin Chen had more than one middle-grade Golden Yuan Pill in hand, and he didn’t intend to just make one-off deals.

"Chairman Liu, if I sign an agreement with your Commerce Association, delivering one middle-grade Golden Yuan Pill every month, can your Commerce Association guarantee its sale?" Lin Chen asked in a deep voice.

"What? Senior... what did you say? I didn’t hear clearly..."

Chairman Liu swallowed his saliva, feeling he had heard wrong.

"I said, how about auctioning one Golden Yuan Pill every month?" Lin Chen repeated again.

Chairman Liu heard clearly this time, but his legs went weak, and he nearly didn’t stand firm.

"Senior, don’t joke... This is a Golden Yuan Pill, not a Foundation Establishment Pill nor any common item..."

Chairman Liu was brought from the headquarters of Guangyuan Commerce Association.

Guangyuan Commerce Association is ranked among the top three in Qing State, and there’s a Nascent Soul Ancestor at the Commerce Association.

In his view, this little corner of Yanlai Country is just a small place.

A pill like the Golden Yuan Pill is extremely precious even at the Guangyuan Commerce Association headquarters; seeing one in Yanlai Realm is already a rare occurrence in a hundred years...

But if auctioning one every month, isn’t this a joke?

"But... what if it’s true?"

At this moment, Chairman Liu’s heartbeat pounded faster, and he thought of what his distant uncle, Chairman Zheng, had told him.

The Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect is extremely mysterious, possibly a hidden sect with millennia of heritage, thus he must maintain good relations with Master Five Thunders.

"If it’s true... then I’ve hit the jackpot!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Chairman Liu was quite tempted in his heart.

Originally, his distant uncle Chairman Zheng was just an average mid-level cadre in the Commerce Association.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been transferred to such a small place like Yanlai Country as the vice chairman.

But in recent years, after Chairman Zheng had transactions with Master Five Thunders, performance rose considerably.

Finally, relying on the content from the Memory Stone, he leapt to become the general steward of the association, equivalent to senior management.

And his arrival at this branch wasn’t without intention to try his luck.

Chairman Liu differs from Chairman Zheng; he is young, has talent, and is ambitious!

"If indeed a Golden Yuan Pill can be auctioned monthly... that would be enormous performance!"

"After a few years here... general steward? No! Even the position of vice chairman of the general association could be within reach!"

Chairman Liu secretly clenched his fist.

How much benefit can a Golden Yuan Pill bring to Guangyuan Commerce Association?

Actually, not much; auctioning one every month, estimating an eight percent handling fee, removing some promotional, personnel expenses.

Earning five thousand Spirit Stones a month is the top limit.

More valuable is the derived effect brought by Golden Yuan Pill!

Imagine this tiny place, having an auction house capable of monthly auctioning a Golden Yuan Pill.

Not just within a radius of ten thousand miles, even cultivators from other parts of Qing State, upon hearing, would come.

With more cultivators coming, purchasing power would grow stronger...

By then, boosting the entire auction’s development would bring more than just five thousand Spirit Stones.

At this moment, countless emotions flashed in Chairman Liu’s heart.

Finally, he tightly clenched his fist and gritted his teeth, saying:

"If the senior can truly deliver one Golden Yuan Pill every month, I guarantee the selling price won’t be less than a hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Moreover, I will apply to have two Golden Core Stage cultivators permanently stationed here from the headquarters, ensuring the auction’s normal operation and maximizing publicity!"

"Additionally, from now on, the senior will be a friend of Guangyuan Commerce Association; I am willing to apply for honorary chairman status for you from the headquarters!"
