Number One Dungeon Supplier

Chapter 1916  Driving a Hard Bargain

After looking through the options again and again. The only one that appealed to them was Liu Qian Town in Changping District, Beijing, and a small piece of land on Tianjin Road, Shanghai. It was just 800 square feet of land that was 'recently' available to the Royal Pandas' mulling of the lands. The Royal Horse Clan members finally released that option after they saw Jin and Kraft arguing for the past two hours straight. But when the Royal Horses presented that land option to them, both parties literally 'pretended'. It was as if the duo was waiting for this to happen and the Horses had seen their true colours and finally relented. It felt so fake that Xiong Da could not help but feel amused by it. They did not know that Kraft the mind reader and self proclaimed world class mind manipulator was in the room with them. He had knew that the Royal Horses were keeping this last portion of the land as their so called trump card in case Jin was not satisfied with the price he had paid. They had no idea that they still had to show this trump card even though Jin was not paying the price. The IFC did. At the same time, that 800 square feet of land definitely worth less than the profit the Ministry of Land had earnt from the auction just now and the duo knew what to do. Also, why was the Panda Clan so focused on getting that small piece of land compared to the acres of land that Liu Qian Town had presented?

This was mainly because Tianjin Road where that land was located was near or considered to be within a very famous shopping street in Shanghai. It was just a road away from the East Nanjing Road which was boasted to be one of the main shopping attractions in the district. There's a saying that 'if you had not been to Shanghai unless you go to Nanjing Road.' Even if Jin was not in the Nanjing Road, being just around the area was more than enough to expand not just locally but internationally as well. With the number of tourists Nanjing Road had on a daily basis, the Panda Clan would definitely get these tourists to try their Dungeon Supplier Store and bring back memorable mouth to mouth experiences. Jin was not merely aiming for more tourists to visit him but rather, to create a reliable brand name so that when Jin was to push out of China and into other countries, his dungeon supplier store would be a name that resonates with other people. Ma Ge was not stupid as well. He knew the potential Jin could bring and he had seen the cold hard facts before he kept this as the last resort trump card for Jin to consider. If it was IFC that he was handling right now, he would not even bother allowing his Royal Horse Clan members to showcase this particular land. The main dealer that was in charge of the discussion right now had seen numbers of how Tiangong District had grown tremendously with the Tree Mall. More companies and high human traffic were its distinctions of the Tree Mall, indirectly and directly boasting the district profits in just half a year. It was so good that the Mayor of Shenzhen was also been praised within the governing bodies to have the foresight to provide tremendous efforts allowing the implementation these companies within the Tree Mall's ecosystem.

In truth, when Ma Ge heard how Jin could turn Liu Qian Town into a Resort and a Manufacturing Hub, his heart skipped a beat. If the manufacturing hub could be realised within the dungeon instances it would not only provide a higher GDP for Changdong district but rather, secret facilities to improve the nation's technology could be tuck away from the eyes of suspecting onlookers.

This ranged from military development without the worry of human deaths though of course certain limits had to be placed to dangerous space exploration technology advancement as the dungeon instance could no doubt simulate space without it getting messy with manipulating real world conditions. It would be a win win situation for the country and Jin. Unfortunately for him, the duo decided to take Tianjin Road even though Kraft managed to take in all the thoughts that Ma Ge had when the Panda Clan purposely took their time to choose things. The dragging of the decision was not only for the trump card to appear but also to collect thoughts like this so that the System, Jin, and Kraft could make a proper decision on whether to press harder on the acquisition of the land.

"You know, Jin? Even if we take Tianjin Road's pathetic piece of land, I feel that we should explore Liu Qian Town as well. It would be a pity not able to create a manufacturing hub. It will definitely push the potential and possibilities of dimensional instance if you take that land up." Kraft said as he lay backward on the chair and talked to Jin, knowing that his disciple had the ability to pick up the cue and talk back smartly.

"Huh… give some example," Jin said as he also laid back to set the mood despite the fact that everyone was somehow working overtime because of what these Panda Clan members were doing.

"I don't know…say unlimited air space? Unlimited space space?"

"Unlimited space space?" Jin attempted to look confused.

"Space as in outer space. You can create that easily right?" "Zero G is definitely an easy feat for me. And you can still breathe if you want to. There would not be any problems with that. And anytime you want to turn the oxygen off as well as vacuum an entire portion of the dimensional instance to test things out, its like flipping a switch."

"See. If we can do that, we should be able to deal with not just aerospace but also outer space manufacturing. Imagine the money!" "Lol, but Ma Ge is only allowing us to choose one. There's no way to refuse a piece of land on Tianjin Road. That equates to being insane, especially for an entertainment based industry player like us." Jin said and Ma Ge could already see where this is going.

"Two." Ma Ge might have already been tired if all the bantering that he raised his hand and raised his two fingers. "If you buy Tianjin Road and Liu Qian Town at the same time and only this two. We will provide them at the base price instead of the discounted price. In return, we will assist with the building of the manufacturing hub. I am very sure all the Royal Zodiac Clans especially the military specific clans like the Royal Roosters would make a deal with you. I can foresee you recoup the losses within a five year period and that is conservative numbers." "We take the two of them including your assistance and a twenty percent discount on Tianjin Road's price. After all, you did say that we made you a generous sum of money." Jin counteroffered.

"5% discount" Ma Ge shook his head.

"15%" Jin replied and the people in the room knew what the price was.

"10% final." Ma Ge sighed but Jin wanted to say 13% just to be the prick of a negotiator and held his breath for a moment. However, when he realised the price was in millions, he disregarded his 'graceful' self and went forth countering the offer.

"13%"

"10%" Ma Ge did not relent.

"12%" "10%" "11%"

"10%"

"11%" Jin stood his ground on this and Ma Ge cough out a bitter laugh before allowing Jin to have his way. "Fine, fine. I give you that 1%" Ma Ge said. "Give me a small discount for the school improvements." "I will think about it," Jin commented and Ma Ge stood up, extending his hand so that they could shake and accept the deal while his assistants continued with the remaining paperwork. Kraft also did the same as he pretended to give a call with his phone when Narris and Tinda were already outside waiting.

"Xiong Da, I am sorry you have to work overtime, but can you assist my assistants for a moment. I will return soon after a quick break." "Sure. You owe me a sneak peek at the latest dungeon." "Heh. I will give you and the Pandawans a week of exclusive access to a dungeon raid including the overtime fees. How about that?" Jin asked and Xiong Da smiled widely. "I take your word for it. Be back in 15 minutes. The land deeds need your signature as well." Xiong Da said as Jin and Kraft went out of the building to take a breather. Kraft took out his cigar and smoked at the designated area while Jin took out a bottle of water from his storage watch to chill out.

"Heh, looks like we had a good deal."

"Good deal? More like an excellent deal. Qiu Yue would have been extremely mad if I had spent a 100 over million of Yuan for a pathetic basement." "Well, you technically convinced everyone that you are buying a basement, and no matter how you try to beautify it, it's just a basement. We got to put a lot more effort attracting attention before the crowds come in and then you pulled such a stunt. However, how the hell did you know that it would pan this way? I could not even sense that Ma Ge's chi signature until much later."

"Call it a hunch." Jin smiled.
