Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 1058: Chapter 705: In-Depth Collaboration (Part 4)

White Ivy: "Step by step, one thousand cans, three thousand cans, five thousand cans, ten thousand cans, increasing year by year. If successful, selling 10,000 cans annually would net us 50,000 Primordial Crystals!"

This is comparable to the total revenue from the Divine-Given Seeds of Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid!

"!!!"

The insects were slightly pleased.

The profit is low, but when scaled, it’s quite considerable!

Dragon Cypress asked: "What about the metal cans?"

White Ivy: "You don’t need to worry about that, the White Ivy Chamber of Commerce will handle it!"

Dragon Cypress asked: "No recycling?"

White Ivy: "The Venus Star System is rich in metal ores, with high yields of metals like gold, silver, copper, iron, and nickel. The cost of a metal can is calculated into the Origin Force Honey as 1 Primordial Crystal. Similarly, it can be repurchased for 1 Primordial Crystal."

White Ivy added: "Most of the metal cans we send out cannot be returned. We manufacture and process them, and make a small labor fee out of it. Dragon Cypress Ant King, no objections, right?"

"None—"

Dragon Cypress asked: "What about procurement, transportation, sales, and the final profit sharing?"

White Ivy: "We can closely cooperate. Both chambers’ insects can work together and handle all aspects depending on the situation. The final profits will be split 50-50."

White Ivy: "We can also operate separately. Just like on the home planet, our White Ivy Chamber of Commerce will procure Origin Force food, provide metal cans, and Bee King Jelly, send them to Xianglan Mountain, pay for processing fees, and the Dragon Cypress Ant King, you’ll help with refining and packaging. Then we will sell them ourselves."

Red Peach timely added: "Bee King Jelly is extremely durable. Over five hundred years, Chairman White Ivy and I have been purchasing and stockpiling a lot."

Dragon Cypress: "..."

Bee King Jelly is the biggest bottleneck.

Over the five hundred years, White Ivy and Red Peach have not been idle, likely buying out the entire production of the Venus Star System.

Dragon Cypress asked: "In the future, for Bee King Honey trade, will it also be a 50-50 split?"

White Ivy: "The first option? Of course. Still a 50-50 split!"

"Good—"

Dragon Cypress didn’t think much and said: "Then let’s go with the first cooperation method, we’ll split it 50-50! Additionally, one small question, whose chamber’s emblem goes on the metal cans?"

White Ivy: "Since it’s a collaboration between the White Ivy and Xianglan Chambers of Commerce for production and sales, both emblems will be printed on it."

Dragon Cypress: "Very reasonable—"

White Ivy immediately said: "Since profits are split 50-50, we should also share the startup capital for operations, both sides contributing 500,000 each."

Dragon Cypress: "..."

White Ivy: "Both sides contributing 500,000 each, a total investment of one million, specifically as operating capital for the Origin Force Honey and Bee King Honey trades."

Red Peach: "Accumulating trading capital is the initial step. After thirty years, start sharing dividends, annually giving half of the profit to the Dragon Cypress Ant King. One day in the future, when both parties dissolve the collaboration, the operating capital will be split equally."

Poison Bean reminded: "Profits from the cooperation will be split evenly. But in case of a loss, the losses have to be shared too~"

"..."

Dragon Cypress was choked for two seconds before agreeing readily: "No problem."

Dragon Cypress waved a tentacle and said: "Let’s discuss the details. Which insects handle procurement? Which handle transportation? Which set up stalls for sales?"

White Ivy: "I, Red Peach, and Green Peach are quite familiar with the prices on the five major planets, so we can be responsible for procurement. Silvergrass and Poison Bean can follow, piloting Star Spiders exclusively for transport."

"If the scale of Origin Force Honey reaches 10,000 cans, it requires procuring 950,000 Primordial Crystals’ worth of Origin Force food, which is 95,000 small bags at 10 Primordial Crystals each. That’s a large quantity, and for each procurement, Dragon Cypress Ant King, it’s best if you send an insect with Shanglu Space to assist..."

Hearing this, Ink Orchid jumped up, raised both claws and excitedly shouted: "Me! Me! Me! I can! My space is the largest!"

Dragon Cypress: "..."

Dragon Cypress arranged in detail: "For procurement, White Ivy, Red Peach, and Silvergrass form one group, responsible for Magnolia-Bark, White Poplar, and Flying Wing Star, purchasing 500,000 Origin Force food. Ink Orchid, Green Peach, and Poison Bean form another group, responsible for Twisted Blue and Flying Leaf Stars, purchasing 450,000 Origin Force food."

"Once you gather the raw materials, deliver them back to Xianglan Mountain swiftly. As per the old rules, Fragrant Cypress and Black Sophora will command the ant colony to refine and blend the productions."

"Regarding sales... The insect population of the Ant Clan and Bee Clan is relatively small, so we’re not going there. Twisted Blue, Flying Leaf, and Flying Wing Stars have large insect populations, so we’ll only sell on these three planets. Each planet is divided into South and North districts, creating six sales points in total, each needing two warriors per point, requiring 12 warriors in total."

"On Twisted Blue Star, at North 1001 District, White Rice and Black Rice set up a stall; at South 1001 District, Blue Catalpa and Snakebark Maple set up a stall."

"On Flying Leaf Star, at North 1001 District, Chinese Clematis, Pueraria..."

Dragon Cypress and White Ivy discussed various cooperation details.

The next day,

White Ivy and her group continued bustling across the planets trading Origin Force food.

Dragon Cypress’s group, led by Green Peach, continued to wander around, surveying the market, and familiarizing themselves with the trends.
