"You’ll continue to be in charge of this matter; if you need any samples, just contact me at any time,"
Zhang Xiaoman declared.
On the other end of the phone, Su Fu agreed immediately. He paused for a moment and then asked,
"Mr. Zhang, as for the production volume of this material, could you give me an idea of what that might look like? And the cost and price as well. I need to formulate a sales strategy and direction."
"The production volume and price..."
Zhang Xiaoman thought for a bit and replied,
"The actual production probably won’t be very high. I’m afraid I can only supply tens of thousands of cubic meters in the short term. As for the price, that would be for you, the professional, to determine."
On the phone, Su Fu pondered briefly and then responded,
"The production volume of tens of thousands of cubic meters is indeed low compared to the market. However, given the specialty of this material and considering it meets high standard quotas, it will be enough, it seems that we can only pursue a high-end strategy from now on..."
"As for the price, I still need to discuss it with the marketing department, but it should not be lower than 90 US Dollars per cubic meter, roughly above 600 Huaxia Coins."
Zhang Xiaoman, hearing the price, imagined the profit that could be had from selling all the material, and he was very surprised.
10,000 cubic meters was just 1 unit of Star Dust, and if it’s sold at the price Su Fu mentioned, he would only need to spend 1 unit of Star Dust to make an amount of 6 million!
Mainly because he bought these items directly from the Gang Store without any other production costs.
The 6 million, minus some operational costs and taxes, would then be pure profit.
That made him feel almost unrealistically optimistic—since when had money been so easy to earn?
"This price is actually not high. In the current domestic market, one cubic meter of concrete usually costs about 400 Huaxia Coins. Our Re-Titanium Crystal Gel, compared to concrete, not only has better quality and is lighter but also is easier to store, which can save a lot on transportation costs, a very crucial point."
"Moreover, the most important is that the Re-Titanium Crystal Gel has high toughness, and its compression and tensile strengths are very high, which can be used directly as the main body for casting. This eliminates the cost of reinforcement bars; this price is just a conservative estimate."
Zhang Xiaoman was somewhat befuddled by his thorough analysis.
Although he didn’t understand much of it, he knew the final result—that he was going to get rich.
Remembering the past when he was playing the shaman, exterminating Alien Species, and had labored so long to earn just over 5 million.
That wasn’t even as much as what he’d make from selling one cubic meter of Crystal Gel, which caused him to become somewhat emotional internally. After all, it truly mattered to find the right method."
Anyway, the financial issues of the Star Alliance were resolved.
And given the current situation, he should not have to worry about similar problems for a very long time. Now, he could focus his attention on other areas.
After ending the call with Su Fu, Zhang Xiaoman got up, freshened up, then went downstairs to buy two baozi and a bag of soy milk, enjoying a delightful breakfast, before he got into an anti-gravity car and headed to Dragon Sleep Mountain.
Good news in the morning could brighten one’s mood for the entire day.
At this moment, sitting in the car, Zhang Xiaoman set the speed not too high, enjoying the landscape along the way, a rare sense of comfort settling in.
These days had been quite "fulfilling" for him; if he was not fighting monsters, he was cultivating.
Although he had increased his Dark Energy limit by several points, there was always an unspoken fatigue in his heart.
Now, having resolved a concern that had been troubling him, Zhang Xiaoman felt as if a great weight had been lifted off his shoulders, and even the scenery around him seemed especially more beautiful.
Dragon Sleep Mountain was his first developed Transcendent resource production site.
Today, he planned to have a look, and if he could find a Star Alliance Marker, he could develop it as another Star Alliance division with a teleportation point.
However, Zhang Xiaoman’s main purpose this time was concerning Olharast Rock.
He had already drafted the second batch of Awakeners, and the number of people this time was much more extensive than before, up to eight.
They were from the Light Blue Clan, and the recently contacted Su Fu.
The Light Blue Clan would be an important structure he planned to develop next, primarily for recruiting and selecting new members and managing the Star Alliance’s task publishing and submissions in the future.
In the terms of modern enterprises, it would be like a combination of HR and secretary.
Therefore, the demand for Olharast Rock this time was a bit high.
Zhang Xiaoman took an anti-gravity car there, spending about twenty minutes on the road.
Even though Ye Cang had now become an Awakener, he was still in an inactive status in his gang list.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t use Unlimited Teleportation on him directly.
The reason for this was simple: he hadn’t increased his gang’s member capacity limit.
In such a situation, not only could Zhang Xiaoman not use Unlimited Teleportation on them, but they would also be subject to many restrictions—for example, being unable to use the Eye of the Starry Sky in the palm of their hands.
That’s also why, when Zhang Xiaoman looked at their attributes, he could only see a Dark Energy limit and couldn’t see the passive bestowed by the System, the Eye of the Starry Sky.
The current member limit for the gang was 2/2; to increase it, he would need to spend one unit of Star Dust.
And because he needed to buy a Star Network Host, he momentarily had no extra Star Dust to use.
The speed of the anti-gravity car this time wasn’t fast, but compared to ordinary transportation, the efficiency was still unimaginable.
As Zhang Xiaoman was still pondering about the Star Dust issue, the majestic and magnificent sight of Dragon Sleep Mountain had already come into view
Although located in a remote area, the transportation was still accessible.
The Ye Family once funded the construction of a road to the nearby town, so if one were driving here, it was directly accessible.
Dragon Sleep Mountain still maintained the same look, but the people in the mountain were nowhere to be seen; Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t spot any of the usually bustling disciples.
He drove all the way to the Dragon Viewing Platform and then descended.
Ye Cang knew he was coming and had already brewed some fragrant tea, sitting in a nearby gazebo waiting.
"Elder Ye, sorry to have kept you waiting,"
Zhang Xiaoman greeted.
Ye Cang stood up to greet him, "Star Lord, you are too polite. I just finished preparing the tea when you arrived."
Ye Cang had also learned from Lin Sisi, switching from the formal "Lord Jixing" to "Star Lord."
Zhang Xiaoman and he sat down on stone stools, caught up on old times over two cups of tea, and then started discussing business matters.
