"Two-in-one" is solid!
Ye Zhongming had a deep impression of this establishment.
Back in Su City, he thought it was just a well-performing franchise focused on battle beasts, primarily retail, and not an official store authorized by the Su Clan.
Now it seemed that this store's capabilities were much stronger than Ye Zhongming had anticipated.
In fact, it had given him quite a shock for two consecutive days.
On the first day, when Ye Zhongming received the equipment list for the beast pool, the prices on it were astonishing.
From the cheapest items costing tens of thousands of Moon Age Gold, to mid-range items priced in the hundreds of thousands, up to the highest end item valued at two hundred million Moon Age Gold, it made Ye Zhongming realize that this store was extraordinary.
The second day's shock came when they arrived at his door with a small negotiation team, bringing many beast pool samples.
The speed and decisiveness of their actions astonished everyone.
This also indicated that the organization had significant influence in this Survivor Fortress, as they not only brought goods but also accurately located Ye Zhongming.
Rather than going to the Star-Eye Clan, they had come directly to Cloud Summit Manor... clearly, they knew about it.
The control of information by this commercial entity had evidently reached a very detailed and timely level.
The person leading the group was from the Rokajin Merchant Clan, known for their exceptional business acumen.
Although they are not a large race, many of their members serve as analysts or even leaders in economic organizations, which grants them considerable influence and benefits, living better than many larger clans.
“Lord of the Clan, hello. First, please allow me to congratulate you on becoming the new leader of the Star-Eye Clan, wishing your clan prosperity.”
The elder named Ji Si'an was very polite, wearing a smile.
When Ye Zhongming nodded and commented on the name being nice, the lead representative was momentarily taken aback. The King of Cloud Summit smiled, naturally avoiding explaining that the name also applied on Earth, and changed the subject.
Once they arrived in the conference room, after Ye Zhongming served them tea and exchanged a few pleasantries, Ji Si'an spoke first.
“I wonder if the Lord of the Clan has seen the product list we sent over and if there are any equipment that interests you.”
The Rokajin people excelled in business, focusing on pre-analysis, coordination during discussions, and maintaining relationships afterward.
They are known for their sincerity, avoiding lowly tactics or pricing to deceive others, which has earned them an excellent reputation.
Their business discussions are calm and direct, straightforward and clear, which is one of the reasons they are popular.
Upon hearing this question, Ye Zhongming set down his teacup and pulled up the list on the terminal, asking, “Is this the final price?”
Ji Si'an smiled, “The Lord of the Clan should understand that our organization, whether in various Survivor Fortresses or through us regional heads, offers genuine products at fair prices.”
Ye Zhongming nodded.
Ji Si'an smiled at him, waiting for him to speak.
Although he had taken the initiative to come here for discussions, he wasn’t in a hurry to finalize this deal; in fact, he was very interested in Ye Zhongming as a person.
This being had come from the home planet to the All Races of the Universe about a year and a half ago and was rumored to have broken through to a great expert level.
Such talent isn't rare; in the history of the All Races of the Universe, there are likely quite a few.
However, for someone to rapidly enhance their own power while also becoming the leader of their proxy race, turning the tables and establishing a large foundation independent of the proxy race with people from their home planet, that person is truly remarkable.
Proxy, proxy—though many in their proxy races attain high positions, the majority do not, and over a quarter often perish on the novice battlefield.
