Chapter 2693

【Notice】:

【Ruby Chamber of Commerce – Snowfield City Headquarters – Central District 3 Branch has issued a payment request】

【"Northwest Region Procurement Supervisor – Xu Qinglian" will transfer 1,000,000 gold coins to your designated area. Do you agree?】

How could he possibly disagree?

Click Agree.

Xu Qinglian asked, "Mr. Zhao Chi, shall I put the payment into the vault?"

Zhao Chi didn't have a vault.

He pointed at the ground and said, "Just put it over there."

"Put it on the ground?"

Xu Qinglian was a little surprised.

These are gold coins… 1,000,000 gold coins, just put on the ground?

"That's right."

"Well then…"

It's Zhao Chi's money, so Zhao Chi calls the shots.

But Xu Qinglian still felt a twinge of reluctance.

The next second, another streak of pure white light flashed by.

Immediately after, a great clatter of metal striking metal reached their ears.

A pile of gold coins suddenly appeared not far in front of the storeroom.

Just as if it had been taken out of the system space.

That really is convenient.

With this first payment, Zhao Chi also roughly understood what was going on.

Soon, three more transactions were carried out.

All of Zhao Chi's stock of experience fruits was completely sold out.

In gold coins, he received a full 4,000,000.

It was winter now, but both Shopkeeper Wanyan and Xu Qinglian's foreheads were shiny, covered with a thin layer of sweat.

Zhao Chi had experienced this feeling before.

It really does make the whole body feel hot, becoming excited and sensitive.

But the matter hadn't been fully discussed yet.

Zhao Chi invited the two of them back to the meeting room.

Zhao Chi poured them another cup of hot milk, and Xu Qinglian downed it in one gulp after thanking him.

It seemed neither of them found it scalding anymore.

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "I know you're in a hurry to get back and sell the experience fruits, but I still have some procurement needs to discuss."

Xu Qinglian shook her head and said, "There's no rush about that. Experience fruits have a very long shelf life, and your needs are the most important. Please, go ahead!"

Zhao Chi said, "It's still the matter I mentioned last time, but on my end regarding procurement, does Supervisor Yin need to handle it?"

Shopkeeper Wanyan nodded. "Yes, talk to me."

Zhao Chi said, "I still need large quantities of Quick-Work Talismans and Quick-Growth Talismans, no upper limit. However many you can sell, I'll take them all."

Wanyan nodded and said, "In the short term we can definitely help you buy a lot very quickly, but later on it will definitely lose steam. And if we purchase in large quantities, the market price will definitely soar…"

Zhao Chi said, "Money is no problem. You can raise the price, even buy some that are a bit pricier. My only requirement is speed. And it has to be anonymous."

Shopkeeper Wanyan nodded repeatedly. "Please rest assured. Our Ruby Chamber of Commerce's business reputation in the industry is excellent; we absolutely will not leak your information. All your information is encrypted, and it's very difficult for outsiders to obtain it."

"That's good then."

"Based on your requirements, I still have two situations I'd like to confirm with you."

"Go ahead."

"It's like this. If you really are in a great hurry, I suggest you set a maximum procurement line. We can procure for you according to the standard of this procurement line. But please rest assured, every one of our transactions leaves a trace. We absolutely will not, just because your acceptable price has risen, hold back at the high price and charge you extra fees."

"Just don't exceed 80 silver coins and 3.5 gold coins."

"Understood!"

This method would indeed be very fast.

After all, there's no need to come to Zhao Chi for confirmation on price every single moment.

Any props below the price Zhao Chi set, they could purchase directly.

And the fees charged would be based on the actual price.

For example, if there are two Quick-Work Talismans, one priced at 50 silver coins and one at 70 silver coins, according to Zhao Chi's price ceiling of 80 silver coins, both can be purchased.

The 50-silver-coin Quick-Work Talisman might ultimately be sold to Zhao Chi for 55 silver coins, and the 70-silver-coin one for 75 silver coins. In short, they won't all be sold to Zhao Chi at 80 silver coins.

So Zhao Chi accepted gladly.

Shopkeeper Wanyan asked again, "Besides these commonly used props, you also mentioned yesterday that you need things like racial bloodlines, divine artifact fragments, attribute jade, gene expansion stones, and so on. Do you want to set an upper limit for these as well?"

Zhao Chi thought for a moment, might as well set one.

This way would actually increase the cost again.

According to the prices Shopkeeper Wanyan had provided before, it was actually very cost-effective.

But that was only the regular price.

It could only rely on regular means.

What Zhao Chi wanted now was the faster the better, so naturally he would have to purchase through other means.

For example, the most direct way would be to post bounties in other towns and villages, or even go to other cities to purchase or post bounties.

Zhao Chi couldn't do these things himself.

So paying a bit more to have the Ruby Chamber of Commerce do it for him was also acceptable.

For the Ruby Chamber of Commerce, they were also very willing.

They charged fees based on the actual cost of each order.

This included labor fees, bounty fees, information fees, and so on; the previously quoted price was slightly higher precisely because it included these costs.

But it was still within the range of market price back then, just a bit higher.

If Zhao Chi was willing to buy at a high price, then the Ruby Chamber of Commerce would also be more proactive in spending money on bounties and negotiations.

After all, the extra money spent was borne by Zhao Chi, and the more they spent, the more commission they could take.

They were also very willing.

Zhao Chi said: "You can set it up. Then for items above 1000 gold coins, buy at a price cap of 3 times; for items between 1000 gold coins and 100 gold coins, buy at a price cap of 2.5 times; for items below 100 gold coins, buy at a price cap of 2 times. Blueprints are calculated separately and can be bought at 30 times the price, but don't buy duplicates—I only need one set."

Zhao Chi had thought this through when setting it up.

After all, items above 1000 gold coins were basically racial bloodlines and various divine artifact fragments.

Such items, whether belonging to werewolves or nobles, had already been confiscated by the authorities and were rare on the market.

Even if he let Shopkeeper Wanyan and the others go buy them, they'd have a hard time getting many.

They'd probably have to post bounties in other towns and villages.

Bounties had to be high-priced.

After all, the lords who possessed such items basically weren't short on money; most kept them for their own use. So Zhao Chi had to offer more money to make them feel it was worth it before they'd sell.

But even so, what he could collect probably wouldn't be much. Even at 3 times the price, Zhao Chi could accept it.

Items between 1000 gold coins and 100 gold coins were basically low tier bloodlines, personal gene expansion stones, master-level insights, and various guidebooks.

Zhao Chi wasn't exactly short on these items, but if there were any, he wouldn't mind buying them, and was willing to acquire them at 2 times the price.

Actually, there weren't that many of these items either.

For example, master-level insights and various guidebooks were military supplies and weren't common on the market to begin with.

If he could buy them, Zhao Chi would gladly accept.

And items below 100 gold coins were mostly Quick-Work Talismans and Quick-Growth Talismans.

These two kinds of talismans were very common. In fact, even buying at regular prices, if they could go to other towns and villages, they could collect quite a few.

But to speed things up, Zhao Chi still set it at 2 times the amount.

Of course, these were all just price caps.

It didn't mean they had to buy entirely at these multipliers.

If there were cheap ones, of course they'd buy the cheap ones.

It's just that if they encountered expensive ones, Shopkeeper Wanyan didn't need to come ask Zhao Chi's approval—she could buy them directly for him within the price cap range, to save time.
