As the saying goes, money is not everything, and no money is everything.

But money is not everything.

For the city of Keha in the Northland, it is not easy to eat oranges. Although they also grow orange fruit itself, just as "orange is orange when it is born in Huainan, and orange is orange when it is born in Huaibei", the orange fruit cultivated in the north is not as good as the orange fruit grown in the south in terms of taste and shape. But even in the south, there is only one season a year.

Therefore, even these dignitaries and nobles had to wait every summer for the caravan to bring fresh fruits such as oranges from the south before they could enjoy a delicious meal.

And right now, in this midwinter wax moon, there are actually fresh, freshly picked orange fruits?

Not only that, but the taste of these orange fruits is far more than ordinary orange fruits, and even those high-ranking officials and nobles who spent a lot of money to transport them from the south did not taste so good!

In the cold winter season, eating a bite of sweet and sour, refreshing and pleasant orange fruit is simply the supreme enjoyment. This is something that can't be bought with any amount of money, because orange fruit is a fruit that only grows once a year, which is the same as a person who can give birth to a child after ten months of pregnancy, which belongs to the natural law that cannot be changed no matter how much money you have.

And now, this law of nature, it seems, has been changed?

There was no one before, so these nobles could be calm, but now that they have it, they will naturally not let it go!

Not to mention, because the number of orange fruits is limited, there are more people who don't grab them than those who grab them, watching the lady next door drinking afternoon tea while tasting the crisp and delicious orange fruits, while she can only drool through the fence.........

Oops, it's so angry!! I can't even be angry with myself! Is there such a flaunt of wealth?

The origin of these oranges must be found!!

Since these orange fruits were flowed out of the Alchemist Guild, everyone naturally found the Alchemist Guild first. As a result, the alchemist replied that these orange fruits were the product of some kind of alchemy props, so they would be consigned in the Alchemist Association, and the number of these orange fruits was limited, and there were only these left, and there were no more goods in a short time.

Naturally, this answer was a blow to the inquirers who were full of interest, and since the Alchemist Guild had made it clear that it was out of stock, there was nothing they could do. In the minds of these people, maybe some alchemists have cultivated a new, hardy variety of orange fruit trees, or maybe they accidentally got these orange fruits in the process of some invention experiment, and now, the orange fruits are out of stock, so they have no choice but to leave.

But there are others who are keenly aware of the business opportunities.

"So, you're looking for cooperation?"

Fang Zheng put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the man in front of him with a smile. Sitting in front of him was a middle-aged man who was fat into a ball, and at this moment he was wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead and looking at Fang Zheng with a somewhat cramped smile.

"Yes, Mr. Ezio, we at the Northland Chamber of Commerce are very interested in your invention of greenhouses and slime fertilizers, and if we can, we hope to work with the workshop to obtain your exclusive authorization."

"I understand that......... But, Mr. Freys, I am not very satisfied with your terms. ”

Hearing this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but glance at the man named Frey in front of him. It's only been two days since they started selling oranges, and this isn't the first person to find an alchemy workshop and want to talk to them about business. But unlike the others before him, Frey in front of him wanted more.

He hopes to reach a comprehensive agreement with Nanali's Atelier for the exclusive manufacture and sale of "greenhouses" and "slime fertilizers" by his Northland Chamber of Commerce.

For Founder, this is certainly a good thing. It's just that there are still many differences between him and Fang Zheng at the moment. The biggest problem was that Frey wanted to pay a lot of money to "buy out" the two inventions, but Founder demanded that the two parties sign a "share" contract.

But Frey clearly didn't want that.

"Mr. Ezio, I can understand your thoughts, although greenhouses and slime fertilizers have great prospects, it is precisely because they are so bright that these technologies will encounter a certain degree of hindrance in the promotion process............... You know what I mean. ”

After a brief chat, Frey had already realized that the young man sitting in front of him was not the kind of nerd who only knew how to invent and create, as he thought, on the contrary, the other party seemed to be far more clever than him. Therefore, he also gave up his previous ideas and began to fight for his own interests.

"If you are willing to set up a chamber of commerce and promote it yourself, Mr. Ezio, then the Northland Chamber of Commerce is happy to be your partner. But now it seems that you don't have this will, so we in the Northland Chamber of Commerce will have to take more risks, and I hope you can consider this issue. We are very sincere, and if you are willing to sell these two alchemy techniques to us, we are willing to buy them out at a reasonable price. ”

yes, a bit of a brain.

Looking at the fat-headed and big-eared Frey in front of him, Fang Zheng also raised his eyebrows. That's right, as Frey said, greenhouses and slime fertilizers are very useful technologies, what is rare is that the price is cheap, the materials are easy to find, and the slime can't kill the seeds, and there is no risk and harm in breeding. It can be said that once these two technologies are born, then a high-profile monopoly industry will be formed. To exaggerate a little, if it can be spread out, then almost no one in the entire Northland, and even the entire Overworld, will not need these two things.

Not to mention that if Nimfu and Nanali were able to break through the limitations of the nutrient solution of soilless cultivation, the benefits would be even higher.

Soilless cultivation.........

Not to mention anything else, Fang Zheng knew that the Holy Sect Country would never let go of this technology. As mentioned before, the Holy Nation needs to guard the Dusk Border, so they have "enclaves" like Order Fortresses all over the world, and in this case, most of the supplies need to be coordinated by the Holy Religion's temples in each country. Food has always been a top priority, as the Dusk Border is polluted by chaos magic, and the climate is so harsh that it's not suitable for growing crops at all.

However, if the soilless cultivation technology is successfully developed, combined with the greenhouse, the fortress of order will have the ability to produce food independently. Even if it can't solve the problem completely, even half of it will be enough for the archbishops of the temple to burn incense in celebration.

And if the food problem can be completely solved, then maybe you can use the various order fortresses as a breakthrough to weaken the power of the twilight border and regain the territory that originally belonged to the order——— to put it bluntly, this technology may even affect the changes in the entire order world!

In such a situation, who can not be impressed by such a technology? This is not only an economic benefit, but also a political interest when it is well functioned.

If you don't have an umbrella, you will be devoured by wolves from all directions. In other words, if Fang Zheng has no way to protect his own interests, in the face of a group attack, the temple is estimated to be able to distribute it evenly with the mud.

After all, it's still useful to be outnumbered.

Although the Alchemist Association is a stakeholder, the problem with it is that the association belongs to the "official body", and once it rises to the level of "national strategy", the official body naturally needs to cooperate unconditionally.

Of course, Fangzheng can turn his face, but for this ......... Turning against the country of the Holy Religion? And then put a Masayr out?

Fang Zheng feels neurotic when he thinks about it.

Now Founder has two ways to go, either to learn from the protagonist in the city, open a company by himself, and then set up a group industry, and when the business grows, he will naturally have the strength to protect his patented technology.

Either learn from reality, resell patents to multinational companies with strong strength, and then whoever has the ability will go to the trouble of multinational companies, and they only need to do experiments with peace of mind and get results.

The former looks beautiful, but Fang Zheng is reluctant to do it. On the contrary, it is easy to make money by selling patents and cooperating, which is what he wants.

It's good to lie at home and count the money, why bother with business things, maybe assassinated, spied on, tracked......... It's all trouble.

The current founder doesn't like trouble.

He also knew the background of the Northland Chamber of Commerce, which was a little worse than those thunderous multinational groups on the earth, but it was also considered a second grade, at least the word "Northland" was not written in vain, and the entire Northland had their business network. From the side, it also shows that the power of this chamber of commerce is very strong, and because the Northland Chamber of Commerce is located in the northern alpine region, the requirements for greenhouses and slime fertilizers are obviously more urgent.

But that's okay, if it's a big guy like Microsoft who occupies a monopoly position in the industry, then it will be much more difficult for Founder to fight for benefits. After all, people are monopolies, and you can't escape from the palm of his hand if you like to sell or not. And the Northland Chamber of Commerce, as the second grade, naturally has the ambition to go further, and at the same time, it also has the ability to wrestle with other huge forces, so as not to let itself make a move and make all this into a city plot.

So Fang Zheng directly said his request.

"We want a 40 percent share of the profits, and you will divide the rest."

"This can't be!!"

Hearing this, Freys's chubby body suddenly bounced off the chair like a bouncy ball.

Although he had expected that the other party would definitely open his mouth, Frey did not expect that this young man would have such a big appetite.

It's a robbery!
