Chapter 620: Chapter 620 Happy Cooperation
A surprised Nangong Ying scanned the upper level with an expression of total amazement.
Although she had tried to imagine how many valuable items were inside the Treasure Tower, built with an immense fortune, it was only when she saw it with her own eyes that she realized her imagination had been limited by poverty.
Most of the things here were completely unfamiliar to her.
However, the few things she recognized had their prices set in higher-grade spiritual stones.
For example, the glass lamp on the ceiling, embedded with twelve solar and lunar stones, each valued at thirty higher-grade spiritual stones.
Its main function was to calm the soul and stabilize the mind; placing one of these stones nearby during meditation would prevent being disturbed by inner demons.
But here, they were probably only used for lighting.
Seeing Nangong Ying's stunned expression, Tang Yu had to clear his throat a couple of times to remind this foolish girl, feeling a bit of bitterness in his heart.
The Hehuan Sect wasn't bad, but it was too poor, always occupying the last place among the Seven Great Sects.
He would have to find more ways to generate income for the sect in the future.
Instead, Hupo was used to Nangong Ying's reaction.
As the regent of the Treasure Tower, her access to information was the best among the Seven Great Sects.
Naturally, she also knew that this favorite disciple of the old monster Wuxin was her ardent admirer.
She had even received a beating for trying to join the Treasure Tower as an honorary elder.
—"If Miss Nangong is interested, you may take a stroll through the upper floor. Except for the room at the back, you may visit any other area at your leisure,"— said Hupo with a gentle smile before personally preparing the tea.
—"No, no... that's not necessary, I'm just looking around a little,"— replied Nangong Ying, a little embarrassed, feeling like a country bumpkin with no manners.
Still, being able to accompany her younger brother Tang Yu here today was enough to make her feel satisfied.
Tang Yu naturally settled into his seat, and his gaze fell on Amber's hands.
Her tea-making technique was extremely skillful, with smooth and harmonious movements that turned the ceremony into an art.
When the tea, with a fresh and intoxicating aroma, was finally ready, Amber poured two cups and smiled.
—"Try this Thousand-Year Golden Tea. A few days ago, an old friend from the eastern part of the Jiuxiao Continent gave it to me."
Seeing the golden tea leaves floating in the cup, Tang Yu suddenly remembered the Apa tea.
But on second thought, if Apa tea were made by a beauty like Amber, probably many perverted cultivators would fight to the death to get it.
—"Sir, is something wrong? Do you not like the tea?"
Noticing Tang Yu was holding the cup in a slight trance, Amber asked.
—"No, I just remembered a few things,"— replied Tang Yu, who would never dare to share that thought aloud.
If he did, he'd most likely be thrown out of the Tower.
Then he looked at Amber and asked with a smile:
—"Why do you call me 'sir'?"
If she kept calling him "sir" all the time and then went around saying he was her "sir," it would be very embarrassing!
Nangong Ying also looked at him curiously, interested in the peculiar title.
—"I've learned a lot watching how you make money these days. Also, while you were arriving, I overheard part of your conversation with Miss Nangong, and it was very useful to me. Calling you 'sir' doesn't seem inappropriate,"— Amber explained with a slight smile.
The fact that she had overheard their conversation didn't surprise Tang Yu.
To begin with, Amber was in the Divine Transformation stage.
And, being in her own territory, especially in a place like the Treasure Tower where merchants constantly negotiated, it would be strange if she didn't have ways to gather information.
Knowing how to become a competent merchant, collecting and analyzing information to seize opportunities, was a crucial skill.
—"So, what does Miss Amber think?"
Since she had admitted to listening, Tang Yu didn't hesitate to take advantage of the situation.
—"Your ideas are really surprising. After reflecting on them, I realized they are feasible, but…"
Amber shook her head gently and smiled.
—"At the same time, they are not. After all, the Treasure Tower must continue with its business, and ruining its own reputation wouldn't be profitable."
The two ideas Tang Yu had suggested could generate enormous profits, but the cost in relationships and prestige was too high.
"In fact, this kind of business is more suitable to be done elsewhere on the Jiuxiao Continent. If in the future Tower Master Amber is interested, she can contact me, and we could work together to make a good sum."
Tang Yu said with a smile, squinting his eyes.
Doing improper things in one's own doorstep and doing them elsewhere is not the same, after all.
In response to Tang Yu's words, Amber also found them reasonable.
If she didn't have that bold personality, she certainly couldn't have drawn those types of... things that even made her blush and quickened her heartbeat.
She didn't directly respond to Tang Yu's words but avoided the topic with an ambiguous attitude and said:
"Today, I invited you to discuss a cooperation matter."
"About the clothes or the jade scrolls?"
"The clothes. The jade scrolls are certainly a profitable business, but in the Treasure Tower, we value harmony in business and truly don't dare to get involved in that."
Amber smiled resignedly. Those jade scrolls were undoubtedly exceptional items.
If the Treasure Tower were willing to help, selling them in every corner of the Jiuxiao Continent wouldn't be a problem.
But the problem was that if the Maiden Sect found out, with Fang Meiyun's temperament, they would likely break relations with the Treasure Tower.
That kind of action wasn't something she wanted to do, nor was it part of the Treasure Tower's practices.
"That's a shame."
Tang Yu shook his head with a slight expression of regret.
That his great work was only causing a stir in the southern part of the Jiuxiao continent did not seem enough to him.
"However, the way the gentleman uses drawings to promote the clothing has impressed me. Although we cannot cooperate directly, I can provide you with some channels to speak with certain people and sell the jade scrolls, as long as you are willing to collaborate with the treasure tower."
After saying this, Amber lifted her tea cup and took a sip, a smile hinting at the corner of her lips.
It had been a long time since she proposed such advantageous terms, even though the affected party was the Sect of Maidens.
But if the jade scrolls were sold across the Jiuxiao continent…
The advertising would spread everywhere, and then the clothing would be much easier to sell.
"I think that's fine. I will provide the products, and the treasure tower will take care of the distribution channels and sales."
Tang Yu was quite satisfied with this condition, especially because he liked to return good for bad.
If he could make the Sect of the Jade Maiden famous across the Jiuxiao continent in this way, wouldn't that be perfect?
After confirming the cooperation, they discussed the terms for a while and finally agreed on a profit-sharing ratio of 70-30.
Amber took out a palm-sized white jade plate from her storage ring.
With a thought, a contract appeared on the jade plate.
The content of the contract stipulated the collaboration between the Hehuan Sect and the treasure tower.
The signatories were Tang Yu and Amber.
"I ask the gentleman to drop a drop of his blood essence on it. Once we both do this, the contract will officially take effect. If either party breaks the agreement, they will be tormented by an inner demon and will not be able to advance in their cultivation for the rest of their life."
After saying this, Amber dropped a drop of her blood essence onto the white jade plate.
Tang Yu imitated her and also dropped a drop of his blood essence.
When both drops merged with the plate, it emitted a faint glow and then split into two parts.
Each of them kept one half, and Amber smiled.
"From today, we are partners in making money together. If in the future the gentleman has any doubts or needs help, you can send me a message through a flying sword at any time."
"It's a pleasure, but I still have another business proposal for the Master of the Tower Amber."
"What kind of business?"
"I want to establish a lottery business..."
Tang Yu directly took out the model for the lotus, a guaranteed successful strategy that only needed to be applied correctly to generate profits.
The only requirement was to have enough credibility.
He had sent Zhao Dashun and the others to investigate this precisely because he wanted to set up this business.
()
After visiting the treasure tower today, Tang Yu thought that if he could partner with them, credibility would be guaranteed. The next step would be to see how to make it take off.
"The lottery system you mention, sir, is similar to the ancient gambling games, but more ingenious and with a much higher profit limit. Betting small amounts to win big… certainly interesting."
After hearing Tang Yu, Amber's look toward him became even more appreciative.
