As the morning sun rose, a huge bronze bull carriage appeared in front of the entrance. Hundreds of guards dressed in sparkling armor stood neatly in front of the entrance, looking like rows of cans; awaiting the arrival of the great Chu Tian.
Overall they were gathered by train and convoy.
The mayor's sincerity is pretty high.
The allocation of territory did not have too great an effect on the mayor, but now, not only would he receive Chu Tian personally, he also sent her a luxurious escort. It was very clear that he was trying to curry favor.
Of course it is difficult to say that there is no ulterior motive.
However, for ordinary citizens to get an audience with the mayor, no matter how you look at it, it is a good affair.
Chu Tian was not the least bit anxious. If I had to pass a mountain of knives, I would take some as scrap metal; if I walked in boiling oil, I would bathe in it. To take advantage of circumstances despite danger, this was his style. Fear is not in the dictionary.
Chu Tian sat on the carriage without fanfare, and a hundred or so bodyguards set out with him to the outskirts of the city.
Nangong Yi walked towards him. “President Chu Tian, you are finally here.”
His long sleeved clothes were as red as wine, his facial expression was straight and firm with fine lines, his oversized white robe hung on his shoulders, on his head was a steel hat decorated with white cashmere, and his beard was neatly groomed, making him appear as a noble from top to bottom.
“Sorry, I made the mayor wait.”
Chu Tian walked over to the two huge bronze bulls and patted the skin as hard as iron, clicking his tongue in admiration.
The mayor is truly an incomparable mayor. Your car is amazing too. And the fighting strength of this bronze bull was around the seventh or eighth level of the Body Refinement Realm. His defensive abilities could be compared to the seventh level of the Body Refinement Realm spirit beast.
Nangong Yi's eyes glittered as he immediately replied with a smile, This carriage is coming from the capital. This bronze bull had gone through special domestication so they would actually follow the orders of its master. Their endurance was strong and their battle prowess did not need to be booed. They not only pulled the carriage but could even act as bodyguards. Among the carriages in Tian Nan City, these carriages should at least be among the top ten.
Train from the capital?
Really the best of everything.
Nangong Yi continued, This carriage is one zhang high and eight chi high. The inside was cast with cold iron, the outside was forged with fiery bronze. The details in the carvings are complex and the structure is very beautiful. When moving, you will not feel a bumpy or jostling road. It had a powerful defensive ability that could withstand attacks from cultivators under the spirit awakening realm, guaranteeing the safety of its rider.
Chutian nodded, “Good, good!”
Nangong Yi noticed Chu Tian's change in expression, and suddenly said, “As a reward for our first official meeting, as mayor, I will probably give you a bull cart as a gift. Will you accept it?”
Why, how generous!
The mayor is a wise old fox, he wouldn't be so generous without any reason.
Chutian feign embarrassment, “Oh, how can I receive such a gift?”
Nangong Yi laughed. “Mayor still has other similar carriages, no problem with giving you one. Besides, you have offended quite a number of people. My informant just told me that Ye Xiong has started asking about you.”
“Asking questions? Huh! What to check??”
“Well, I don't know. All I know is that Ye Xiong had sent some group of people to the Middle Continent that night, and we don't know anything they have.”
Chu Tian furrowed his brows and said, “Oh? Such an incident happened??”
“Don't worry too much about that, even though Ye's influence is huge, Tian Nian City is my territory. They still have to give me face.” Nagong Yi then put on an appearance as if very loyal to his friends. , “However, it is easy to hide a bright but difficult weapon to hide a stab in the back. This car is more useful if offered to you. You definitely need it more than me!”
Chu Tian no longer refused. “Because the mayor's generosity is hard to resist, it's useless for me to do it. Thank you for your generosity!”
Nangong Yi's words of warning were simply thrown away. Chu Tian did not care about such an attempt on him.
After all, a man should have a good carriage. This bronze bull carriage could be considered the highest quality in Tian Nan City. If he were to take it to the streets, it would attract attention.
Nangong Yi nodded, thinking inwardly, He received the gift from the mayor without batting an eye, receiving it with a completely clean conscience, as if he was a son receiving a gift from his father. This guy is really thick-skinned, he will be great one day.
Bronze bull trains are not considered to be of the highest quality in the capital. One could buy it with approximately ten thousand gold. But in Tian Nan City, there was nowhere to buy it so the price doubled.
Nangong Yi was bleeding inside but one could not see it on his face. He spoke cheerfully, You are the first winner of a big competition, so you get a monopoly on the extraction of four ore veins for a whole year. In addition, you also have the authority to use the forest and spirit farm, the time limit is also one year.
Chu Tian hesitated a little.
Nangong Yi was intelligent and immoral and could tell what Chu Tian was thinking, “You can also transfer the ore extraction authority to others and charge them rent, , You can save time and energy this way. What say?”
I understand!
The old fox was eyeing this fatty piece of meat.
Miracle Commerce had just been established, they did not have enough manpower to begin with. Where do they find miners and farmers?
Even if they found miners and farmers, would Miracle Commerce really be able to do resource extraction without worry? Don't be stupid! The Ye clan and the Du clan would not openly cause interference due to the resource-sharing deal, but the tricks behind the scenes were definitely unavoidable.
Miracle Commerce has just been established and it is important not to lose focus. It doesn't have time to manage these things.
But the benefits of mines, spirit fields, and forests are not small.
Currently, other than the mayor, no one really wanted to receive these hot potatoes.
Chu Tian did not blink an eye.
“I have to see first.”
“Alright, I'll show you.”
The mayor was very sad.
This cunning man.Even with such strong pointers, you are still acting stupid!
There are four mines in total: a crystal mine, and four metal mines. The crystal mine was the most precious. It could produce grade 1 fire crystals that could exceed the combined value of three metal mines.
Forest and spirit farms are not bad either. A forest is a large piece of land that is perfect for hunting and breeding. Inside, there were many ferocious beasts, spirit grass, and legendary potions. The farmland does not require any special introduction, it is a well-cultivated plot of land that is perfect for growing various medicinal plants.
It was truly rich and fertile, no wonder all the red-faced great clans were fighting for it.
Although all of these resources are very attractive, Miracle Commerce has no means to take advantage of them. They had no other choice, Nangong Yi would definitely make use of it.
How did this happen?
Chu Tian was a relaxed person. He did not care much about carefully calculating the profits and losses, but he also did not want to be deceived. It might as well drag this out and keep the mayor on their toes. If the mayor spoke first then all of his advantages were with Chu Tian. This way Chu Tian could obtain the best deal.
But Nangong Yi was not stupid. How could he not know what was going on. Even though he wanted it so much, he did not speak. He acted as if he did not care much about resources and only politely showed Chu Tian around.
From the very beginning, it never occurred to Nangong Yi to make a threat. Obtaining resources from Chu Tian would be good, but even if he did not give them away, Nangong Yi would not treat him badly.
So these two people are wasting time on this matter.
Suddenly, a huge, attention-grabbing mine appeared in their sight.
There were no miners in the surroundings, only soldiers who surrounded him in a tight formation. If you don't take a closer look, it looks more like an army barrack than a mine.
Chu Tian asked curiously, “What happened in this mine?”
Nangong Yi replied, Oh, this? This is a liquid crystal mine that is under my control. It wasn't particularly valuable, however, I kept it on guard in case spirit beasts or villains tried to enter. After all, liquid crystals are extremely dangerous. If it exploded, it would greatly affect Tian Nan City.
Chu Tian's eyes became bright, Liquid crystal? It's crystal oil!
“True, it's that kind of thing.”
Come on in to see!
The two men entered the mine. This mine extraction equipment is simple and rugged. Actually not really need extraction equipment at all, because once they enter the mouth of the cave they are directly on a small cliff.
The cliff was about 10 meters high, at the bottom, a white luminous object was visible.
The white luminous thing was not solid, but a kind of viscous and gelatinous liquid. The color was extremely pure, flowing very slowly and forming a small lake, looking like a white mirror at the foot of a mountain.
An expression of unimpeded pleasure flashed in Chu Tian's eyes. “This crystal oil mine is fully under the mayor's control?”
How strange.
What diseases does this child suffer from?
Crystal oil is a very cheap natural resource. Few people find its usefulness. Everywhere in the world, supply exceeds demand. These deposits of crystalline oil were not at all attractive and the entire continent was full of idle oil mines.
What makes this kid interested?
Mayor nods, “Ya so it is.”
“I want this oil mine.” Chu Tian said firmly, “I want to exchange the extraction authority of mines, forests, and spirit farms for one year with you for this mine.”
Nangong Yi staggered, almost tripped, “You ... what did you say? You want this mine?
Chu Tian nodded, I have one condition, the mayor must provide guards and help with oil extraction. Do you agree?”
Is there only wind in your head?
A meat-filled pie had just fallen from the sky!
“That's a deal!”
“That's a deal!”
Nangong Yi was secretly delighted, he laughed and said, I will not keep it a secret from you, the oil reserves in this mine are very abundant. You won't find two across the continent that can compare to this one. Although the price of crystal oil was not very high, at least the amount. After all, Miracle Commerce would not be able to harvest another site in a year. In comparison, you can own this mine forever. You can all wait until the company is mature, and you can extract it for ten to twenty years. Who knows how much you will make.
Even Nangong Yi did not believe his own words.
Make money from oil? Rubbish thing!
Slum mining trade for high quality resources is a very profitable business transaction.
The mayor thinks that this crystal oil is very unstable. After shuffling it and mixing it with other substances, it would cause a huge explosion. To this day, there is no point other than adding a small number of certain dangerous weapons.
Although this mine was quite large, no one had ever shown any interest in it. Despite being under the mayor's control, he did not actually perform the extraction because it was uncertain whether it would sell. If it was extracted and ended up stored only within the city walls, then it would make the city a time bomb.
How could Chu Tian not know what the mayor was thinking?
This idiot!
An expression of pity appeared on Chu Tian's face.
The scientific name of crystalline oil is liquid crystal. It was not a real crystal and was not even an ordinary mineral. It is made by microorganisms.
This type of microorganism is present in the crystal ore and eats it as food. Once these microorganisms die, they settle into the rock layers and travel 10 or more billions of years into this precious crystalline oil.
Crystal oil played a huge role in the history of the continent. It is the fuel of civilized society, the lifeblood of science and technology, the foundation of industrialization, the ruler of war, the support of the power of a nation!
After twenty thousand years, in which the more intelligent life forms lived, the crystal oil had been extracted until it was almost depleted.
This type of natural resource was already considered extremely valuable and rare on the continent. Countries will fight for control of oil mines and war will erupt over them.
In the Chu Tian generation, the crystal oil in the continent was almost depleted, so one had no choice but to look for a mine in heaven. Energy prices surged, and they could only regret and think of the golden age of the past.
Now although!
Low-cost crystalline oil cannot be compared to iron ore.
Crystal oils can be classified into three types: the first is gold, the second is silver and the third is white.
It is the lowest grade crystal oil. Currently, it was almost worthless, but after 10 thousand years, it would be more than enough to buy some fertile areas.
The oil field is now in his hands.
It seems that Miracle Commerce received divine help.
Chu Tian suppressed his excitement and immediately said to Nangong Yi, Help me get a bottle of oil. I want to take it back to study.
Nangong Yi hurriedly said, Crystal oil is very unstable after leaving the mine. If it was shaken or mixed just a little, it would cause a terrifying explosion. Only the professionals dared to touch him. Please don't act recklessly.
Chu Tian said, I have my own precautions. Let's hurry back and sign the contract for the exchange. I'm handing over all those resource sites to you mayor!
Nangong Yi was very excited.
Bring one bottle of oil.
In his view it was no big deal to let him look back. Now he has to take advantage of that moment and sign a contract.
