Chapter 236 Cooperation Negotiations Achieved! The Second Legend Begins Recruitment!Chapter 236 Cooperation Negotiations Achieved! The Second Legend Begins Recruitment!
”Welcome everyone.”

As soon as they entered the luxuriously decorated conference hall, they saw a figure sitting at the end of a huge desk.

The other person wore a black mask with strange patterns on his face, and his eyes revealed a gentle smile. At the same time, a gentle and clear voice came from his mouth.

The Guozhu family and various conglomerates were slightly taken aback, then they narrowed their eyes, staring at the other person’s body...

It’s illusory.

The other party wasn’t here; instead, they used the same method as last time.

Jiang Linxue and the others frowned slightly.

”Please take a seat, everyone.”

Qin Fang could tell what they were thinking from their expressions, but he didn’t care. Instead, he smiled slightly and pointed to the chair in front of him.

After a moment of silence, everyone found seats and looked at the mysterious owner of the amusement park.

Beside the boss stood two figures, also wearing masks. Judging from the style of the masks, they should be the two codenamed ’Valve Light’ and ’Hidden Kiss’.

...All members of the amusement park wear masks, but the styles of the masks are different. Since they cannot know the specific appearance of the members, the Guozhu family can only remember the styles of their masks and use them as information to distinguish the different members.

Just as they sat down, before the boss could even speak, a voice rang out with a hint of displeasure: ”Isn’t this a bit too impolite? We agreed to meet today to discuss future cooperation, but you haven’t even shown yourself... Is this how you treat a guest?”

The boss turned his head and saw that it was a member of the Xu family who was speaking.

The others remained silent, but they clearly shared the same sentiment.

Qin Fang smiled and said, ”It is a bit impolite, but there’s no other way. I did this precisely to make the negotiations go more smoothly.”

”Hmm?” The man from the Xu family frowned.

Qin Fang’s voice continued gently: ”This is to avoid any unpleasantness after the negotiations fail, which would completely destroy any hope of success. I mean it... Young Master Xu, do you understand?”

The man referred to as Young Master Xu was stunned for a moment, and then his brows furrowed.

After a moment, he fell silent.

...He understood what the other person meant.

If the person isn’t here, then the negotiation is just that—a negotiation… Even if the Guozhu family and others are not satisfied with the outcome, it’s highly unlikely that a direct conflict will break out.

Because even if we erupt, it won’t make a difference... The boss isn’t here, so the outcome is meaningless.

Then there is naturally room for maneuver.

But if the other party is here and an agreement can’t be reached, then who knows what other ideas might come up...

For example, directly starting a war, trying to forcibly seize the ’items’ containing information about job change scrolls...

That’s really hard to say.

And if things develop in this direction...

Regardless of the outcome, further cooperation between the two sides is clearly impossible.

Not only did Young Master Xu understand, but people from other factions also understood what he meant.

After careful consideration, no one had anything more to say.

Jiang Linxue let out a soft breath, and then calmly asked, ”So, boss, do you have any objections to the cooperation proposal we put forward later?”

Qin Fang turned to look at her, and her directness was exactly what he had expected.

After all, this is the very reason they came here.

He smiled and asked, ”Is this the cooperation plan that the Guozhu family proposed later, whereby each family would receive one job change scroll every month, and in return, each family would give us 50 million gold coins for each scroll?”

Jiang Linxue took a deep breath: ”Yes.”

Qin Fang chuckled and asked, ”Miss Jiang, do you think I would agree to this plan?”

Jiang Linxue paused slightly and fell silent.

Then she said, ”As compensation, Paradise will become the biggest partner of my nine families from now on. As long as it is within our power, Paradise will ask for our help and our nine families will do our best to cooperate... in any aspect.”

”It’s a very tempting offer. I acknowledge the strength of the nine great families and know that they have enormous resources in all aspects.”

Qin Fang first acknowledged the other party’s strength, but then shook his head and smiled, ”But I’m sorry, I may have to refuse this cooperation proposal.”

Jiang Linxue knew it wouldn’t be that easy to succeed, so she immediately spoke up, wanting to add something.

The other person raised their hand slightly and said with a smile, ”Please allow me to finish.”

Jiang Linxue paused, pursed her lips, nodded, and gestured for Qin Fang to continue.

Qin Fang then said, ”First of all, it’s impossible to guarantee a certain number of job change scrolls every month. While there are certain patterns to the appearance of job change altars, it’s not a fixed number every month... For example, this time, I accumulated three months’ worth, and only obtained 11 job change scrolls. The accumulation time for the last auction was even longer, a full six months. Therefore, the Guozhu Family requires each family to have one every month... I can’t do that, so naturally I can’t rashly agree to it.”

“It may not be one per month; the specific details can be discussed,” Jiang Linxue quickly replied.

Qin Fang smiled and shook his head: ”Then what if I said I’d give each family one every year or even two years? Would you agree?”

Jiang Linxue was speechless.

That’s... a bit too little.

Qin Fang smiled and said, ”You see, this is one of the problems. If the frequency is too high, I can’t manage it. If the frequency is too low, you can’t accept it. Even if I said that the frequency of the job change altar appearing is this low, you wouldn’t believe me. So in the end, it will become that you want to send someone to my side to further monitor me, to ensure that you can grasp the true frequency of the job change altar’s appearance... And that’s something I can’t accept... We lack the most basic trust. I believe everyone here agrees with this, right?”

After he finished speaking, he glanced around. Everyone’s eyes flickered, but no one dared to refute him.

Because there is indeed no basis for trust.

”Without basic trust, this kind of cooperation is meaningless. What Ms. Jiang mentioned later, such as ’the biggest partner,’ is just empty talk and nothing more. In the long run, mutual suspicion will arise, and unnecessary sordid rifts may even emerge. Ultimately, the current cooperative relationship may even evolve into an adversarial one... This is something I don’t want to see, and I believe you all don’t want that either, do you?”

Qin Fang asked with a smile.

Everyone fell silent again.

But there’s no way to refute it.

What the other party said is true.

Jiang Linxue remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, ”Then what is your opinion, Your Excellency?”

“Since we’re going to talk, let’s talk openly and honestly. Let’s not talk empty words or vague concepts like ‘partners’.”

Qin Fang smiled: ”Actually, the matter is quite simple... All you noble families and conglomerates have simple needs: you want more job change scrolls so that you can have more epics. My Paradise also has its own needs... My Paradise also needs to develop, so it’s impossible for us to give you all the scrolls. But at the same time, we don’t want to be enemies with you all, and end up in war or something that would make other races laugh in their dreams... I believe no one will object to what I’ve said, right?”

Everyone looked at each other.

In the end, there was silence again.

Because there is indeed no way to refute it.

They came here for epic classes, didn’t they?
”So what does your Excellency mean?”

After a moment of silence, Wang Mingchuan, the epic writer from the Wang family, asked the question.

Qin Fang smiled slightly: ”My meaning is very simple. Let’s not talk about cooperation, let’s just talk about a deal.”

“I will provide the scrolls, and then you will pay for them.”

He smiled slightly: ”Actually, for me, the current auction model is very good... but I also know that this model might be a bit hard for you all to accept. After all, there will indeed be too many competitors, and more money will be spent on it. In the end, some might not even get a single spot due to financial constraints or some unforeseen circumstances. You might even suspect that I am secretly manipulating things... right?”

No one spoke, but they secretly rolled their eyes.

...They haven’t forgotten their first auction.

Isn’t it your amusement park that’s been pulling strings behind the scenes?

”Just tell me, what do you think we should do?”

The ninth young master of the Xu family frowned and couldn’t help but speak.

“Young Master Xu is straightforward, so I won’t beat around the bush either.”

Qin Fang smiled and nodded to Young Master Xu Jiu, then said, ”It’s very simple, let’s choose a frequency that everyone can accept. Once a month is indeed a bit too much, and once a year is indeed too slow... Let’s set it at once every six months.”

“Every six months, I will provide each party with a scroll. No auction, direct transaction. The transaction price... let’s not even talk about fifty million gold coins. Is an epic professional only worth that much? However, the auction method does indeed make everyone feel unfair. So let’s set a fixed price... Currently, my Paradise has auctioned off a total of 18 scrolls, with the highest price being nearly 800 million, and the lowest being 300 million. Let’s take the middle one... 500 million.”

“Every six months, you can purchase a job change scroll from my paradise for 5 million gold coins. When to use it and who uses it is up to you; my paradise will not interfere. I will give each of you a ‘job change purchase order.’ With the ‘job change purchase order,’ you can come to my paradise to purchase a job change scroll.”

”However, in order to prevent the scrolls from being resold after they are released, or even falling into the hands of human traitors such as the Cult of Divine Descent... I require that all job change scrolls be used directly under the supervision of my Paradise on the spot after purchase.”

What do you all think of my suggestion?

Qin Fang asked with a smile.

As expected, a commotion broke out at the scene.

”Five hundred million? That’s way too expensive!”

”And only once every six months... isn’t that too few?”

”It has to be used under the supervision of your amusement park? This...”

The crowd buzzed with discussion.

But they were clearly not very satisfied with this proposal.

The gap between what they mentioned and what I said was too large.

Qin Fang remained silent, simply watching with a smile as the crowd argued and discussed.

After a long pause, Wang Mingchuan finally spoke, saying, ”The quantity is too small, and the unit price is too high.”

”That’s quite a lot. After all, it’s not just one company doing business with me now, but all of them here... There are nine Guozhu families alone, plus the major corporations... which means I need to take out eighteen scrolls every six months.”

Qin Fang helplessly spread his hands: ”The frequency of the job change altar’s appearance is not up to me. It’s just the current frequency. Maybe the frequency will be even lower in the future... right?”

At this point, Qin Fang blinked and said, ”How about you guys discuss it yourselves? See who to kick out? If any of you can convince the other families to let one family have it all... then I can accept giving you two a month.”

Qin Fang’s words instantly silenced the scene.

They looked at each other, bewildered. ...Kick one out?
How could he even say that!

Needless to say, the nine families with a long tradition of producing national pillars of the state would never be able to make it out of the country.

But which of those other conglomerates is made of clay?
The scene fell silent for a while.

Jiang Linxue and Wang Mingchuan also frowned.

...After the boss said that, they also felt that there seemed to be no better way.

Once every six months, that’s twice a year...

Adding two new epics every year will undoubtedly provide a tremendous boost to their strength.

Moreover, this almost guarantees that every direct descendant of a family will later become an epic figure.

It’s simply a matter of timing.

”But isn’t this price too expensive?”

Wang Mingchuan looked up and asked.

”It’s not expensive at all, only 500 million, and it’s 500 million in just six months... I believe it’s nothing to you all, right?”

Qin Fang smiled.

Everyone frowned and fell silent again.

Wang Mingchuan was silent for a moment before saying, ”We need to discuss this.”

”Of course, there is also a reception room next door. Please make yourselves at home.”

Qin Fang nodded with a smile.

At Qin Fang’s prompting, Qin Xing, who was wearing a mask, opened the conference room door.

Amidst the buzzing discussion, the group headed to the next room.

Qin Fang sat there patiently waiting.

An hour later.

These people came back.

”We’ve discussed it and reached a preliminary consensus. First, regarding the timing, could we increase it to once every five months?”

Wang Mingchuan, as the representative, asked the question.

Qin Fang shook his head upon hearing this: ”Six months, because this is not my decision, but rather the frequency with which the scrolls appear... I won’t hide it from you, as this will affect the development of my amusement park.”

Wang Mingchuan was silent for a moment, then finally let out a soft sigh: ”Okay, six months. But the price needs to be lowered a bit. We’ll go with the lowest price from the previous auction... After all, auctions are about bidding at a premium. We can’t use the average price of the auction to determine the final price of this item.”

”Three hundred million?”

Qin Fang frowned slightly, tapping his left side with his fingers as he pondered.

After a moment, he let out a soft sigh: ”Let’s not say 500 million, let’s not say 300 million... let’s say 400 million. An epic class... I believe if I were to sell it individually... even if the asking price were 1 billion, someone would still be willing to pay that amount. What do you think, Young Master Wang?”

Wang Mingchuan’s eyelids twitched slightly.

After a long pause, he took a deep breath: ”Then it’s 4 million.”

”happy.”

Qin Fang laughed and then said, ”Then let’s celebrate our cooperation in advance. I hope we can work together happily in the future.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Faguang beside him and smiled, ”Faguang, give each of you a ’job change purchase order’.”

”Yes, boss.”

Fa Guang bowed in agreement, stepped forward, and with a wave of his hand, eighteen token-like objects appeared on the table.

This token is neither iron nor wood. It has a peculiar red ’楽’ character on the front, while the back is inscribed with the characters ’李’, ’周’, and ’徐’.

This belongs to one of the nine great families of the State Pillars.

The remaining nine pieces are inscribed with the words ’Three Seas’, ’Red Dragon’, ’Puguang’, and ’Oasis’, respectively.

It belongs to a group or conglomerate.

”Please keep a close eye on your tokens and don’t take the wrong one. Also, please keep them safe... When it comes time to buy job change scrolls, Paradise only recognizes tokens, not people.”

Qin Fang said with a smile.

This caused everyone’s pupils to shrink slightly, their gazes gradually turning fiery as they looked at the token on the table, their eyes flickering slightly.

”I’m very happy today, and I hope that the park will continue to cooperate with you all. Well then... see you later.”

After saying this, Qin Fang smiled slightly and his figure disappeared from the spot.

Everyone then came to their senses, took a deep breath, and stepped forward to receive their own tokens.

The figures of Vacuum Light and the other members of the amusement park also retreated slightly and then disappeared.

Only some ordinary service staff remained.

”Ladies and gentlemen, the boss has prepared a cocktail party on the eighth floor and has also arranged rooms for you distinguished guests... If you need anything, please ask the staff...”

A sweet-looking waitress said with a smile.

……

We’ll leave aside the follow-up from each company for now.

Qin Fang has returned from the modern office scene to the Upside-Down Cloud Realm.

Xiaoyou and the others are already waiting here.

When Qin Fang appeared, Xiao You and the others immediately looked over.

”elder brother.”

”boss!”

”I made a fortune today! I earned over three billion!”

Bai Yangyang shouted excitedly.

Qin Fang smiled slightly.

I felt relieved.

The cooperation with these major powers has finally been finalized.

Providing them with a scroll every six months from now on is nothing to Qin Fang at this point.

So next...

”Let’s prepare to move on to the next step.”

Qin Fang looked at Lin Fan and said.

Lin Fan’s eyes flashed, and he nodded slightly.

”it is good.”

Next step……

Naturally, the plan to occupy each city would then begin.

Train ’agents’!

After finalizing a few more details, Xiaoyou and the others left.

Qin Fang then looked at his panel.

Of the five advancement quests, only quest 3 remains to be completed.

”Legendary profession...”

A new legendary class!

He took a deep breath.

Use headhunting firms.

[Searching for employees with legendary potential]

He began to fill out the forms carefully.

...Level 3 is a must-upgrade.

This second legendary profession is also a must-have!

[The gender of the employees you are recruiting is ’random’, their potential rank is ’legendary’, their appearance and demeanor are ’random’, their distance from you is ’random’, their career direction is ’random’, and the recruitment method is ’headhunting company submitting interview invitations to your company’.]

【本次招募，额外费用为1200企业声望。招募基础费用为50000企业声望。共计51200企业声望。招募期限为24小时。24小时之后，将结果告知贵司。是否确认并开始执行本协议？】

Familiar headhunting firm recruitment information has appeared.

Qin Fang let out a soft breath and selected ”Confirm!”

The letter has been sent.

The headhunting firm is currently searching for recruitment targets and expects to identify a target within 24 hours. Countdown: 23:59:59…

……

A hint of anticipation appeared in Qin Fang’s eyes.

Zhou Ze’s legendary profession gave him a huge surprise.

What about the new legendary employees?
He is very much looking forward to it!
