Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Coveting, Seizure
"Boss Huang, where have you been making big money lately?"
"Haha, got some good stuff, want to see if you’re interested."
"I won’t keep you in suspense, Elven Spiritual Medicine, Spirit Fruits."
"Relax, do you think I’d dare deceive you?"
"Alright, I’ll wait for your good news then."
"Hello, Boss Zhang..."
Zhu Runfu dialed several numbers, and initially, the tone on the other end was quite cold. But as soon as they heard he had a batch of Elven Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Fruits, their interest piqued immensely.
Zhu Runfu’s smile grew brighter. He knew that, with this favorable turn of events, the Zhu Family could finally soar to great heights.
......
"There’s such a thing? I see."
In the study, Leng Yuanshan hung up the phone, his eyes gleaming with a ghostly light.
"Dad, what’s going on?"
Leng Peng noticed his father’s unusual expression and couldn’t help but ask curiously.
Leng Yuanshan said calmly, "There’s a small merchant, somehow got his hands on a batch of Elven Star Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Fruits, now he’s contacting all sides, trying to get a good price for the goods."
"Elven Star’s Spiritual Medicine, Spirit Fruits!"
Leng Peng’s eyes lit up, quickly saying, "Dad, anything related to Elves always has a high premium, let’s get involved too, try to buy all the goods."
Leng Yuanshan glanced at Leng Peng, his tone carrying a hint of sternness:
"It seems you’ve never heeded the things I’ve taught you."
Leng Peng was stunned for a moment, cautiously asking:
"Dad, what do you mean by this?"
Leng Yuanshan said indifferently:
"What do you think our family relies on to monopolize a market?"
Without waiting for Leng Peng to answer, Leng Yuanshan continued on his own:
"It relies on being ruthless, as soon as a competitor emerges, you have to crush them immediately. In business, there’s no room for competitors to survive."
Leng Peng’s eyes widened: "Dad, do you mean...?"
Leng Yuanshan’s eyes turned cold: "A little herb merchant, without asking permission, wants to mess around in my territory. If he doesn’t play by the rules, then he shouldn’t expect to keep that hand."
......
"Boss Huang, you’re here to inspect the goods yourself~"
"Haha, see, I, Old Zhu, wasn’t lying to you."
"Boss Zhang, you’re an expert, this batch isn’t bad, right..."
In the warehouse, Zhu Runfu was showing several bosses the Spirit Fruits and Spiritual Medicine.
Over a hundred boxes were opened, allowing clear visibility of the quantity and quality of the Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Fruits.
Watching from not far away, Zhu Runfu was eagerly conversing with the bosses, and Feng Mochuan smiled at Deputy Leader Xu Ze beside him:
"You have to admit, the boss found some real talent, it’s only been two days and there are already so many inquiries. I think these goods will sell without a hitch."
"Yes, according to Boss Zhu’s pricing, this batch can sell for at least 100 million." Xu Ze’s eyes shone with excitement.
A hundred million
The Hurricane Mercenary Corps would have to take on countless dangerous missions to earn that kind of money.
But now, they just needed to transport the goods from Elf Star to Silver Gray Star, pay a basic procurement fee, and they could make a fortune.
It feels like a dream.
Feng Mochuan: "The boss said that in the future, 20% of the company’s profits will be distributed as salaries to the brothers, 10% as year-end bonuses, and the remaining for company development."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ze’s eyes brightened even more.
He’s quite aware that this batch is just testing the waters. Once the pricing is confirmed and a stable market is developed, subsequent shipments of Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Fruits will be continuously sent to Silver Gray Star, with annual profits exceeding 10 billion.
And all they have to do is safely escort the goods to Silver Gray Star to share in 30% of the profits. There’s no easier or more profitable task in the world.
"The boss is so generous!"
Xu Ze couldn’t help but exclaim.
Being a mercenary is, of course, in pursuit of money, but if you can make that money easily, who’d want to take on those dangerous tasks with their lives on the line?
"Indeed, being able to work under the boss, we really hit the jackpot."
Feng Mochuan felt it even more deeply than Xu Ze. Qin Tian had offered him an annual salary of tens of millions, along with a 3% profit share each year.
Conservatively speaking, his annual income could reach several billion.
Furthermore, he received more than just money, but also the priceless Silver Level Night Demon Bloodline.
With the Night Demon Bloodline, the path to Tier Six, Seven, or even Eight would be wide open.
Power and future prospects were what he valued the most.
Just as Feng Mochuan and Xu Ze were chatting, suddenly a group of people stormed in fiercely.
"Where’s Zhu Runfu?"
The leader, wearing a security bureau uniform, was tall and burly, his voice carrying a note of severity.
Zhu Runfu approached, noticing their unfriendly demeanor, his heart skipped a beat, but he quickly plastered a smile on his face:
"Isn’t this Captain Li, how come you have time to visit me today?"
Captain Li sneered:
"I don’t have time to waste with you. We’ve received a report that there are smuggled goods here. The Director sent me to verify the situation."
Smuggling?
Zhu Runfu’s heart sank. Strictly speaking, this batch from Elf Star did have a hint of smuggling, but more accurately, it should be considered as exploiting the still unclear tariff loopholes between the Elves and the Empire. Accusing it of smuggling was an exaggeration.
Captain Li surveyed the surroundings, passing by each of the boxes, his face growing colder:
"Sure enough, these are Elven goods. Zhu Runfu, did you declare these items?"
Zhu Runfu quickly replied:
"Captain Li, the tariff system over there isn’t well established, but we did purchase this batch through legitimate means from the Elves."
"Without declaration, it’s smuggling!"
Captain Li slammed shut one of the box lids forcefully with a bang, signaling:
"Take everything away!"
"You dare!!!"
Clatter
In the warehouse, members of the Hurricane Mercenary Corps immediately stood out, their Spiritual Energy surging strongly, faces filled with anger.
They had heard from the captain and deputy captain just now that if this batch of goods was sold, 20% of the profits would be shared among everyone. Now, if anyone dared to touch these goods, it would be like stealing their wallets, and they’d be willing to fight to the death.
In an instant, a heavy pressure descended abruptly.
Captain Li and his team trembled, a trace of fear flickering in their eyes.
In such a small warehouse, there were so many Spiritualists!
"What are you trying to do? Attacking an Empire official and obstructing law enforcement, can you bear the consequences?"
Captain Li’s face turned pale, but he still stiffened his neck and shouted.
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
At this point, the mercenaries all turned to Feng Mochuan. Having fought through blood and fire, they weren’t intimidated by merely some small security bureau officers.
With just a word from Feng Mochuan, they’d be ready to go, even if not to kill them, at least to teach them a lesson.
Feng Mochuan’s eyes narrowed, and the scene fell suddenly silent, many not even daring to breathe audibly.
"Let them move it!"
Feng Mochuan’s response caught all the team members by surprise.
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
Feng Mochuan waved his hand, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
It was evident that someone had their eyes on these goods, hence orchestrating such a scene.
He was very interested in seeing who was truly pulling strings behind the scenes.
He might not understand the business,
but when it came to quietly eliminating someone, he was very proficient.
"Captain?"
The team members looked at Captain Li.
Captain Li gritted his teeth, "Move it!"
Initially, according to the Director’s instructions, they were to detain both the people and the goods. However, given the current situation, if he dared to detain them, he and his men might not make it out of this warehouse.
But don’t get too smug.
So what if they’re Spiritualists, we’ve arrested plenty of Spiritualists in the Security Bureau!
Moreover, in front of the giant Yuan Shan Group, what waves could a small mercenary corps possibly make?
Just wait and see!
