Chapter 353: Happy Cooperation
"Today's harvest is good, and it seems that your pharmacist will have to study for a while to digest today's results, so I think it is time to leave."
"You are right. Our gains today are very great. You must know that the gains today are even more than the total progress we have made in the past six months. I would like to express my gratitude to you again."
"There's no need to thank you. I'm not helping you in vain. I was so anxious to see the effect of the potion that I forgot to discuss remuneration with you. You won't deliberately deduct money just because I've finished today's work. My salary?" Although I said it in a joking tone, I was actually reminding the Ninth Prince to pay attention to the benefits.
As a prince, no matter how dull his qualifications are, he will definitely be much more sensitive to worldly things than ordinary people, not to mention I have already made it so clear. Fortunately, the other party did not mean to default on the bill, but immediately said after hearing my words: "Of course, you don't need to doubt my credibility, but before we talk about remuneration, can I ask a question first? "
I nodded and told the other person to continue.
The ninth prince immediately said: "When you introduced yourself before, you said that you were the leader of a military organization called the Frost Rose Alliance, right?"
"We call it a guild, but it's not wrong if you say it's a military organization. But I'm not used to others calling me leader. I still prefer others to call me President Ziri."
The Ninth Prince nodded and continued to ask: "So, may I ask, your... guild organization, does it have its own research institution? If so, I would like to know what your research and development capabilities are like?"
"Of course. The Frost Rose Alliance is a very large organization, and of course we have our own research institutions. As for R&D capabilities...it depends on what aspect you are talking about."
"Magic Potion Science. This is the research direction of the mutation-inducing potion we are testing today."
"To be honest, this is not the research direction of our guild, so compared with several other special directions, our research capabilities in this area are not outstanding." When I said this, the expression of the Ninth Prince opposite me became obviously dim. It seems to be very lost. But I continued: "However, although our research capabilities are not outstanding. But judging from the experimental conditions we just visited you, our research institution should still be much stronger than yours. At least in terms of hardware facilities. Such."
After hearing the second half of my words, the Ninth Prince immediately became elated, as if he was on stimulants. He looked at me with excitement and said, "This is President Ziri. I wonder if you think the medicine we tested today has any development prospects? I mean, do you think this medicine is useful to you?"
"Of course. For a militarized organization like ours, this kind of thing is very useful, but the premise is that we can get enough supply or produce it ourselves."
The Ninth Prince said excitedly after hearing my words: "Then if I say, I am willing to send all the current research materials on mutation-inducing agents and the relevant main researchers to your guild, are you willing to work with me? I sign an agreement guaranteed by the Supreme God. Guaranteeing that I own fifty percent of the proceeds from this potion and its subsequent products?"
To be honest, the Ninth Prince’s intention surprised me a little. Yes, I've wanted this potion from the beginning. Because like I just said, this thing is too useful for our guild. However, my original plan was to purchase the research materials for this thing, and I had even thought about just grabbing it if I couldn't buy it. But I never expected that the other party would be willing to directly package all the information and even the researchers and send it to me. Of course, he wants the share ratio to be high. Although he seems to be the stronger party now, I know the research capabilities of the Frost Rose Alliance, so this share ratio is obviously too high for us. Because once this thing comes into our hands, it will definitely develop by leaps and bounds. The benefits will be far greater than the prince himself expected.
Although I was a little surprised, I didn't hesitate for long, but responded quickly: "Can I ask, why do you have such an idea? I'm not saying that I don't want this potion, but... you know, Aren't you supposed to hold this thing tightly in your hands during production and then sell the finished product to takeaway? Your reaction is really a bit strange!"
The Ninth Prince just smiled after hearing what I said. But I can see that there is a trace of sadness in his smile. After a slight pause, he said: "If you knew that this research institute and the mutation-inducing drug would soon no longer belong to me, would you still have any doubts?"
Although the Ninth Prince did not explain it in detail, I completely understood it. This matter is nothing more than a status struggle between some princes. And the Ninth Prince obviously failed, so this institution and those research results will soon belong to other princes. In this case, the Ninth Prince chose to sell the research materials and some core technical personnel of this kind of thing. This is really a normal thing. Anyone who doesn't have water in their head will probably do this.
"I think I understand what you mean. Let's talk about this agreement." I said directly: "In principle, I agree to receive this technical achievement and some of your researchers, but I do not accept your share ratio."
"What do you think is a reasonable value?" The Ninth Prince looked at me and said, "Although I am quite passive now, you should know that I am also a prince. I have my own dignity, and it is impossible to lose it because of the imminent loss of my dignity." All we do is sell these things at crazy low prices, trying to make as much as we can. That’s impossible.”
"No, no, no, I think you misunderstood." I organized my words a little before I said, "Let's put it this way. The distribution ratio you determined before was based on your determination that we can use this potion on your basis. Some improvements were made, and the estimated value was distributed. However, what I want to tell you is that the research capabilities of our Frost Rose Alliance far exceed your expectations. We will not only perfect this potion, but also We have made major breakthrough improvements based on the basics. Therefore, the value we create is far greater than your expectations. If we follow your share ratio, we will suffer a great loss. So...can you understand what I mean?"
The Ninth Prince thought for a moment, then looked up at me and asked: "Then the ratio you want is...?"
"Three to seven. You three and we seven, this is the bottom line."
"Deal." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
