Chapter 221: The Price |
"The number of quotas in Miss Chen's hands is not too many, but definitely not few."
Zhao Ji smiled and said, "In my opinion, with Brother Chen's talent and status, it will be no problem to obtain a quota."
"If you are lucky, you might even gain favor from Miss Chen, which will save you a lot of trouble."
He hinted at something as he spoke.
Obviously, he did not know that Chen An was already married and was now urging Chen An to make a move.
But in his opinion, even if he is already married, if he can really win the favor of Miss Chen, divorcing and remarrying is not a big deal.
After all, Miss Chen is the legitimate daughter of the Chen family, the future head of the Chen family.
The Chen family has been rooted in the Xia Wang City for many years, with a huge influence and profound background.
If one can become the future son-in-law of the Chen family, the benefits can be imagined, needless to say.
Chen An just smiled and said softly, "In that case, I will trouble Brother Zhao."
"If it succeeds, I will definitely reward you in the future."
"No problem, no problem."
Hearing this, Zhao Ji's smile on his face suddenly became more intense. "Everything is on me."
At this point, Chen An also understood.
The Zhao Ji in front of him seems to be working for Chen's Miss, and incidentally pulling strings.
After all, with the wealth and status of that Miss Chen, it is easy to gather a group of people to work for her.
Chen An didn't say much.
There are quite a few people like this around him.
Especially after he opened the alchemy store, various forces came one after another to negotiate and draw him in, one after another, so much that it was difficult to count.
Zhao Ji is just one of them, but with someone special behind him.
Leaving here, Chen An returned to his residence.
His residence in Xia Wang City is just an ordinary courtyard, not too expensive, just a few spirit stones.
Initially, this place belonged to a mortal rich man, with everything very complete, even servants.
After Chen An moved in, there was basically nothing more to add, just moved in directly.
As for the place for alchemy, it is in another location.
As mentioned earlier, there are many cultivators in Xia Wang City, so commercial activities between cultivators are quite developed.
Selling various courses is not uncommon in this city, and so is alchemy.
After Chen An came here, he easily found a place where he could rent a furnace for alchemy and practice there.
This is one of the reasons why he came here.
If he went to a place where cultivators were rare, then Chen An would have trouble with alchemy.
If he can’t find a suitable place for alchemy, even the fire and ground would need to be rearranged and developed, which would be very troublesome.
Of course, recently, Chen An has also been thinking about finding a place to buy a furnace.
This way, if he really needs to run away in the future, it will be convenient for him to practice alchemy.
For other alchemists, furnaces are particularly cumbersome, and not easy to carry around.
After all, although the furnace is a kind of magic weapon, it is still very heavy even if it is the lightest furnace for people.
Some high-quality furnaces made of god-gold are even heavier, and ordinary cultivators can’t even move them.
It is a difficult task to carry such a huge thing with you.
But Chen An doesn't have this problem.
He has the White Tower with him, so he can directly put the furnace in the White Tower, which is basically no burden for him.
When he really leaves Xia Wang City, as long as he finds a place to take the furnace out of the White Tower, it will be useful.
That's how Chen An plans to do it.
Fortunately, he now has plenty of spare spirit stones, which can be used for other purposes.
The reason why there are extra spirit stones at hand is mainly because the number of gold spirit stones is limited.
As mentioned before, the gold spirit stone is a companion to the spirit stone, belonging to a kind of exotic spirit stone, and its quantity is extremely rare.
In addition to its unique function in refining tools, although ordinary cultivators have little demand for it, many forces choose to hoard a bit of it as a stockpile.
As a result, the amount of gold spirit stones circulating on the market is quite limited.
Chen An is facing this problem now.
He has plenty of spirit stones on hand.
Even if he doesn't, once he sells the things left in the White Tower, he can easily get tens of thousands of spirit stones.
But there are not so many gold spirit stones that he can buy.
During this period, Chen An has been sweeping around the market, purchasing materials such as gold spirit stones, but the quantity he can buy in a period is still limited.
Even with a higher price offer being limited.
There is no way, this thing is of little use to ordinary people, with a small output, naturally resulting in limited quantities.
As a result, Chen An now has quite a few spirit stones in hand, which can be used for other purposes.
Walking alone in the city, Chen An watched the passing crowd continuously.
After a while, he went to an alchemy store, replenished some stock, and then returned home to practice.
Not long after, good news came from Zhao Ji.
Miss Chen seemed to be very interested in him and wanted to meet him intentionally.
Although Chen An was a bit surprised by this request, he did not refuse.
Even though the current situation of Miss Chen is a bit difficult, her status is there.
Meeting her and having a conversation would not be a bad thing.
It may even lead to some good things happening.
With a trial mentality, Chen An went to the appointment and met Miss Chen.
In a quiet courtyard, Chen An changed into a clean outfit and waited silently.
Not long after, there were faint footsteps outside.
Chen An turned to look and saw a woman walking towards him in that area.
The woman was very beautiful, wearing a purple dress, not the extremely stunning type at first glance, but quite pleasant to look at, giving a gentle and mild feeling in every move.
Her temperament is good.
Looking at the woman who came late, Chen An thought to himself.
"Sorry, there was something outside that delayed me for a moment, and I apologize for keeping you waiting, Brother."
Arriving in the courtyard, the woman, with an apologetic expression on her face, spoke softly.
Her voice was gentle, matching her appearance, giving a very friendly feeling, making people feel a sense of goodwill unconsciously.
If you didn't know her identity beforehand, probably few people could guess that the person in front of him was actually Miss Chen, the future head of the Chen family.
"It's okay."
Chen An smiled and said, "It's an honor for me to meet you, Miss, and how can I blame you for being a bit late."
"After all, I just arrived, and did not wait for too long."
In any case, no matter how you say it, saying a few words of praise is okay.
Who doesn't like to hear good words, and it doesn't cost a thing, it's good for you, good for me, good for everyone.
What a good thing it is, right?
Chen Wanjun smiled, "Although I say so, I was indeed late, and there will be some compensation later, I hope Brother will not refuse."
With the other party saying so, what else could Chen An say?
Of course, he could only accept with a smile.
They chatted for a while, and then surprisingly found that they enjoyed each other's company.
This is normal.
Both Chen An and Chen Wanjun are the kind of people who are good at socializing.
Not to mention Chen Wanjun, as the legitimate daughter of the Chen family, she can support herself in this unfavorable situation, and even seems to be in a stronger position, clearly not an ordinary person.
People with such high emotional intelligence are generally very good at speaking.
As for Chen An, not to mention more.
As a senior worker, he may not be good at other things, but when it comes to catering to others and talking to others, he is definitely excellent.
The past Bai Qing, Cheng Zheng and others, weren't they all fooled by him like this?
It's just a change of target now.
When two socially astute people meet, the end result is the current scene, a harmonious atmosphere that is inexplicably pleasant.
Those who know naturally understand that they are meeting for the first time, but those who don't may think that they are old friends who have not seen each other for many years.
Just say, they had a good conversation.
"Zhao Xiong said that Brother Chen is also interested in the opening of the Xia Wang Tomb?"
After chatting for a long time, Chen Wanjun finally got to the point, bringing the topic back to the main point.
"That's right."
Chen An nodded and admitted frankly, "The opening of the Xia Wang Tomb is a rare event in Xia Wang City, although I am not talented, I also have an interest in going in to take a look."
"Please quote a price, Miss."
He directly asked, looking very frank, "Whatever I can afford, I will definitely get it for you, Miss."
This was of course just a polite gesture.
Despite Chen An's beautiful words, if he were really asked to pay, he would hesitate.
A price of one or two thousand spirit stones can be considered, but over three thousand spirit stones would make him think twice.
As for exceeding this amount, it would be even more difficult for him to consider, and he would just turn around and leave.
Although the Xia Wang Tomb secret realm is good, it is not as good as the previous Sage Secret Realm, and it has been developed for many years.
In this situation, Chen An is skeptical of how much benefit he can gain from going in.
If the price is too high, he might even end up losing.
You can’t do such a thing.
"To be honest, the price I offer to others is three thousand spirit stones."
Chen An was so frank, so the host, Chen Wanjun, naturally could not fall behind, and directly stated the bottom price.
Listening to this price, Chen An couldn't help but nod secretly.
Indeed, Miss Chen is not an ordinary person, she has a unique vision.
The price of three thousand spirit stones is just at a critical point, making people feel heartache, but still willing to pay.
Chen An had previously analyzed that the true value of this quota is roughly around this number.
If it exceeds that, it would be a loss.
"However."
After quoting the base price, Chen Wanjun's tone changed, and she smiled at Chen An, "If it's Brother, then it's a different story."
