“Mingyu!”“Qin Tian!”At the spaceport exit, Qin Tian finally saw his friend, Oriental Bright Universe, after several months apart. Both men smiled.“Mingyu, I’m sorry to make you come all this way,” Qin Tian said with a smile.“No, Qin Tian,” Oriental Bright Universe replied seriously.“I’m very happy that you thought of me first for this matter. If the Youth Potion truly has the effects you described, then you’ve helped me tremendously.”Within the Oriental Family, both direct and collateral lines must contribute to the family. The greater the contribution, the higher the position and power one can attain.He was not skilled in combat, so currently, his main responsibility within the family was the commercial sector; making money was his top priority.Based on his current performance, there was some growth compared to last year, but it was very limited, and he saw no hope of breaking through his current state in the short term.It was possible that his position would remain unchanged for the next five or ten years.But he never expected that, not long ago, a phone call from Qin Tian would bring him a huge surprise.The Youth Potion was a new product developed by Qin Tian’s team, possessing the effects of delaying aging and maintaining one’s youthful appearance.In fact, within the Oriental Family, there were also several spirit medicines and elixirs with similar effects, but their cultivation time and costs were consistently high, making large-scale promotion impossible.However, the Youth Potion was different. According to Qin Tian, the raw materials for this potion were not rare and could be mass-produced through large-scale cultivation.If the above was true, then the market prospects for the Youth Potion would be immeasurable, and it would undoubtedly generate astronomical profits every year. If the Oriental Family could truly make this business a success, then his status within the family, as the primary promoter of the cooperation, would undergo a drastic change.Not only would this year’s performance directly top the family’s commercial sector, but the annual profit share in the future would also cause his wealth to grow exponentially.More importantly, he could use this to shed the label of “mediocre performance” and stand tall in front of those direct descendants who rose through military achievements or power—after all, in the Oriental Family, those who could continuously create wealth for the family always possessed irreplaceable value.Perhaps in less than two years, he could be promoted from his current position as regional commercial manager to a decision-maker in the family’s core business circle, and even have the opportunity to access the family’s top-tier resources.By then, those direct elder relatives who had once been cold towards him would actively show him favor, and those peers who had hogged the limelight in battles would also have to consider his opinion on resource allocation.Thinking of this, a look of eagerness appeared in Oriental Bright Universe’s eyes as he said, “Qin Tian, I’ve brought a professional team with me this time. We can test the potion right now. If the efficacy is fine and it’s feasible for mass production, I can sign a contract with you immediately.”Qin Tian smiled and said,“Don’t worry, since I dared to ask you to come, I’ve naturally made all the preparations. However, Mingyu, as the saying goes, even brothers settle accounts clearly. I won’t make concessions on the contract terms just because of our friendship.”Hearing this, Oriental Bright Universe smiled slightly:“That’s natural. I believe we can discuss a result that satisfies both parties.”“Mm~”Qin Tian led Oriental Bright Universe and his team to the Lingfeng Trading Company building. On the top floor of the building, Qin Tian handed 20 samples of the Youth Potion to Oriental Bright Universe.Of these, ten potions would be tested on the spot to provide an analysis report. If the results were satisfactory, Oriental Bright Universe would discuss cooperation details with Qin Tian and draft an ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) initial contract. At the same time, the remaining ten would be sent back to Qingmu Star for more comprehensive and detailed testing by the Oriental Family headquarters.After all, this was a big business, and the target customer group consisted mainly of the powerful and wealthy, so there could be no sloppiness.The cooperation would only be officially concluded after both the product and the contract were approved by the family.Silver Gray Star had a testing agency that cooperated with the Oriental Family. Three days later, a very detailed test report was released, and the results were completely consistent with the report Qin Tian had provided.As soon as the conclusion was out, Oriental Bright Universe immediately began cooperation negotiations with Qin Tian.The negotiation process was intense, with both teams clashing over certain cooperation terms, refusing to yield an inch, especially regarding the profit-sharing, where they could not reach a consensus.The Oriental Family’s team believed that the Oriental Family’s investment accounted for the majority, and they were also responsible for raw material supply, factory construction, marketing, and promotion, and so on. Therefore, their share of the profit should not be less than 70%.But Qin Tian’s side naturally could not agree, as the patent and formula were the core, and they should receive 70% of the profits.Of course, all of this belonged to normal business negotiations. Asking for a high price and then negotiating it down was an indispensable process. The final decision would still be made by Qin Tian, Oriental Bright Universe, and the Oriental Family behind him.During the negotiation process, Oriental Bright Universe’s report and the ten samples arrived at the Oriental Family headquarters. This matter immediately attracted the attention of the Elder Council. After more rigorous testing and evaluation by the headquarters, the Youth Potion product quality was deemed excellent, and its commercial prospects were enormous. Once the project was successfully implemented, it would definitely become the biggest highlight of the commercial sector that year.The Elder Council discussed the matter in detail, and ultimately, the Great Elder, Oriental Ke, personally made the final decision to approve the cooperation project.Furthermore, he was willing to reach a 50/50 profit-sharing agreement with Qin Tian.Qin Tian had no objection to this plan, and the cooperation was officially reached.Next, the Oriental Family and Lingfeng Trading Company would jointly invest to establish a new company. Lingfeng Trading Company would be responsible for the patent formula and 20% of the start-up capital, while the Oriental Family would provide the remaining funds and be responsible for other aspects such as raw material supply, marketing, promotion, and engineering construction.Of course, many issues would arise after the new company was established, especially in important business lines such as finance, human resources, and supervision, all of which Lingfeng Trading Company would need to focus on and arrange personnel for.However, Qin Tian handed all these responsibilities to Yang Fan, believing that professional matters should be handled by professionals.His main focus was still on improving his strength.During this short period, he spent 100,000 military merit points to exchange for two spirit-grade weapons for Poison Widow and Terrida. At the same time, he hired a master blacksmith with a large sum of money to custom-make a set of armor for the two of them and Bear.In addition, he equipped every Barbarian warrior with heavy armor and weapons. Although these armors were not spirit-grade, they were forged from high-grade alloys, with energy dampening plates inlaid in the chest and arm guards, sufficient to withstand attacks from spirit energy weapons below the third-tier. The weapons were custom-made according to each person’s fighting habits.With the addition of weapons and equipment, the combat power of the Barbarian battle group increased again. They were already exceptionally fierce, and now they had an added sharpness that seemed to cut through anything.Qin Tian was originally planning to find a group of Star Pirates for the Barbarian battle group to train against, but just then, a notice issued by the Qingmu Star Region Military Department to all military officers above the rank of major caught his attention.
