Chapter 181: A Feeling as Though Life Is at the Pinnacle

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhou Jiaxin was at a loss for a moment. When Zhou Jiaxin had promoted her store to Class 4, she had already firmed up on the idea that had popped in her mind. However, it was useless even if she was determined, as the decision-maker for this idea wasn’t in Zhou Jiaxin’s control. It would be up to this youth’s opinion.
Zhou Jiaxin didn’t immediately speak of her thoughts. Instead, she walked to the counter and took out a document that had been drafted a long time ago and said, “Lin Yuan, take a look at this.”
Zhou Jiaxin was a decisive person and always did things with resolve. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to promote this store to Class 3 without a Creation Master’s backing. In fact, her store had only been one step away from promoting to Class 4 before meeting Lin Yuan.
When Zhou Jiaxin had thought of the idea, she had immediately drafted up this document. However, this document had been in here for over a month, and every time Zhou Jiaxin had a different idea, she would take the document out. Unknowingly, she had already edited it at least three times. Each edit would cause extreme pain to Zhou Jiaxin, but she would be extremely determined when making each edit.
When Lin Yuan read the document, he couldn’t help raising his brows. He sighed silently. I guessed it correctly, as expected.
However, the content of the document gave Lin Yuan quite a shock.
Zhou Jiaxin’s document was actually a collaboration agreement, and the contents were very simple. It was to maintain the current collaboration model, and 20% of the profit from Zhou Jiaxin’s store would be the remuneration for Lin Yuan to continue supplying goods to Zhou Jiaxin. At the same time, Zhou Jiaxin even granted 30% of the store’s shares as a condition for Lin Yuan to increase the supply quantity.
The 30% of shares was an additional bonus that didn’t include the 20% profits. If the store closed down when the store was sold, Lin Yuan would still receive compensation from the 30% of shares.
Of course, there was a prerequisite. Lin Yuan wasn’t allowed to sell the 30% of shares while the store was still operating normally.
After reading this collaboration agreement carefully, Lin Yuan was rather surprised. This agreement was at least twice as good as those agreements provided by Class 5 stores when they worked with their chief Creation Master. Most of the Class 5 stores would provide huge bonuses for the Creation Master that backed them, but only a rare few would be willing to offer the store’s shares to the Creation Master.
Lin Yuan already knew that Zhou Jiaxin was a person who insisted on the quality of spiritual ingredients and was a very sincere and honest business owner. However, he didn’t expect Zhou Jiaxin to actually have such courage.
Lin Yuan silently considered the feasibility of this collaboration agreement. He didn’t try to be unreasonable with the superior conditions that Zhou Jiaxin offered. After all, Lin Yuan had been managing his own fey store since the age of eight, so he was already a businessman.
Lin Yuan was willing to supply goods to Zhou Jiaxin mainly because she risked reserving severely injured feys that might die for him to choose. Otherwise, Lin Yuan wouldn’t have the chance to obtain feys like the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus and Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia.
Even with Lin Yuan’s current wealth, he might be able to obtain the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus, but he still wouldn’t be able to obtain the Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia.
In essence, the Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia had a similar value with the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia. The Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia could eliminate the impurities in the body, while the Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia could increase the spiritual energy.
The Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia might not be like the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia—there were only two in the world—but it was rather rare too.
It was because of Zhou Jiaxin’s investment and effort. Lin Yuan was able to feel it, so he was willing to supply goods to Zhou Jiaxin’s store.
Otherwise, if Lin Yuan was truly out to sell feys, he might as well have placed them up for sale on Purchase With No Loss Fey Store. After all, the feys would all be snatched in a few seconds no matter how many he put up for sale.
The feys Lin Yuan provided, when compared to the high demand in the Radiance Federation’s market, his supply was just a drop in the ocean.
However, Lin Yuan had to admit that this collaboration agreement proposed by Zhou Jiaxin had conditions that didn’t allow Lin Yuan to disagree as a businessman.
Zhou Jiaxin’s store was already a Class 4 one now. Lin Yuan might not be able to sell the shares that were offered by Zhou Jiaxin, but just the dividends from the 30% of shares were already a great sum. Furthermore, the 20% of the profit was also additional, making it two levels of profits.
After all the calculations, Lin Yuan only had to provide more goods to Zhou Jiaxin and would be able to obtain a pure profit of 41% from Zhou Jiaxin’s operations. Such a profit was truly significant. In addition, Lin Yuan wasn’t providing the goods for free as Zhou Jiaxin would still need to purchase the goods at the price that they had set previously.
Zhou Jiaxin watched as Lin Yuan was constantly reading this agreement and couldn’t help feeling nervous. She was truly afraid that Lin Yuan would reject her, but if she had to increase the number of profits sharing or increase the number of shares, she couldn’t do it.
Zhou Jiaxin had already split 41% of the store’s pure profit with Lin Yuan and still had to spend additional money to purchase goods. After all the calculations, Zhou Jiaxin actually didn’t earn as much as when she was operating a Class 3 store. The Class 4 store was two times bigger than the Class 3 store, and Zhou Jiaxin had to hire two more store staff members. Coupled with the maintenance required to open a Class 4 store in the Star Web, not much money would come into Zhou Jiaxin’s hands.
From the angle of a business person, Zhou Jiaxin’s decision wasn’t wise. However, Zhou Jiaxin wasn’t just a business person. She was also a person with ambitions.
Five years ago, Zhou Jiaxin had painstakingly developed a Class 1 store until it was now a Class 4 store. Zhou Jiaxin knew clearly that if she didn’t make a deep collaboration with Lin Yuan and if he decided to stop the supply to her store one day, her Class 4 store would immediately lose its core selling point. The reputation of the store would then decline harshly.
In fact, when Lin Yuan had supplied the goods, Zhou Jiaxin had experienced a kind of joy that she hadn’t felt when operating the store.
In the past, she would be thinking of all sorts of methods for the customer to spend more money to purchase the spiritual ingredients and feys in her store. However, now, it was the customers that would say all sorts of nice words to purchase the Bronze Usneas and Elite Spirit-Siphon Goldfish that Lin Yuan supplied.
It was simply a satisfying feeling!
After investing all her efforts into the store and being begged by others to sell her goods, it was truly an utmost enjoyment that could only be felt at the pinnacle of life.
If Zhou Jiaxin had to describe such a feeling, she would probably have jumped out and yelled out, “Such a high! I feel as though life is at the pinnacle!”
The past few months’ experiences had given Zhou Jiaxin an eye-opener. She didn’t have a change of concept on how to manage her store, but at the same time, she grew something called ambition.
Zhou Jiaxin wished to promote her Star Web store to Class 5 while she was still alive!
Ever since that thought had flashed in Zhou Jiaxin’s mind, it had only been getting stronger. Finally, it was already irreversible.
