Chapter 1200 - 751: Interstellar Trade Route (Part 3)

White Ivy and Red Peach coming together is simply the universe's strongest profit-making duo.

It's incredibly fierce,

Just through a preliminary market investigation and initial contact, they secured a 50 million transaction.

According to Red Peach's proposed trading model of partnering with major forces, both Bee King Honey and Gene Potion transactions yield a net profit of 3.5% to 4%.

The White Ivy Chamber of Commerce secures a fixed 2%, while the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce takes 1.5% to 2%.

Moreover,

Dragon Cypress, through refinement and separation abilities, can peel away some 'impurities' from certain Divine-Given Origin Force Foods, gaining an additional 0.5% to 1% profit.

Altogether, there is a profit margin of 2% to 3%.

With an annual transaction total of 50 million, that amounts to 1 to 1.5 million in earnings.

This makes far more than operating Zero Level Origin Points and managing territories.

…

…

"Chairman White Ivy is impressive!"

"Chairman White Ivy is truly a business genius!"

"Chairman White Ivy leads us to fortune!"

The Insects showered compliments.

White Ivy interrupted by raising a claw, saying: "There's a small issue..."

While speaking, she activated her Water System Ability, causing surrounding moisture to condense into eleven bright white spheres.

"This is the Sheep Hoof Armor Star System."

"This is the Fragrant Herb Star System."

"This is the White Eucalyptus Star System..."

White Ivy transformed Origin Force into red zigzags, linking the planets together, visually presenting the current interstellar trade routes.

"In the middle are the nine First Level Origin Points, among them South Coconut, North Maple, Shepherd Tree, Fire Fuse, Fisher Bug. Due to their mediocre location, average Origin Force concentration, and lack of attraction, they mostly consist of local Insect Clan Warriors and a few poor small tribes settled there. Not meeting our cooperation requirements, originating from prosperous tribes with insect populations over a thousand."

"Now we have three options: First, abandon the trade with these five First Level Origin Points and shorten the trade route; Second, lower cooperation requirements and collaborate with tribes having insect populations over a hundred."

White Ivy promptly added: "South Coconut, North Maple, Shepherd Tree, Fire Fuse, Fisher Bug, all these First Level Origin Point Star Systems are generally poor, their cooperative business development potential is limited. However, usually, poorer insects are more agreeable, willing to follow directions, and in the future, there's a chance to integrate them and collaborate on other matters."

"So, there's also a third compromise plan. No rush for now. In the future, as contacts from the Venus Star System come forth, and reach out to me with suitable tribes, I'll recommend them to settle in these remote First Level Origin Point Star Systems, for collaborative development."

White Ivy finished speaking, looking at Dragon Cypress for opinions.

Dragon Cypress: "Chairman White Ivy is impressive~!"

Dragon Cypress said: "I'm not well-versed in trading affairs, Chairman White Ivy, you are the professional, just make decisions as you see fit."

White Ivy: "Then let's go with the third, compromise plan?"

Dragon Cypress agreed, asking: "When does the trade begin? I need to head to the Fragrant Herb Star System, Huagi Mountain territory, to establish a sub-nest."

White Ivy: "Start immediately!"

"This time, I return along the star route from the Fragrant Herb Star System, collecting along the way, already receiving 310 million worth of Primordial Crystal worth of Divine-Given Origin Force Food. My plan is to refine all of it into Bee King Honey, then set out on the road..."

"Hiss—"

"Phew—"

The Insects let out a gasp: so much!

White Ivy: "For now, I'm excluding the five First Level Origin Point Star Systems of South Coconut, North Maple, Shepherd Tree, Fire Fuse, Fisher Bug from the run, it saves a lot of time, unless there's an accident, three years later we'll be back at the Fragrant Herb Star System."

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, you may take the fastest Third Level Star Spider, or charter a Third Level Star Spider, rushing straight to Fragrant Herb Star System to prepare."

"Thus, when Red Peach and I return, the Divine-Given Origin Force Food acquired along the way can be refined and processed into the Origin Force Ant Honey at the earliest, then we'll carry the goods from the Fragrant Herb Star System."

"That way, the trade cycles around."

"Hmm—"

"Understood—"

Dragon Cypress calculated,

Over at Fragrant Herb Star System, only one Assistant King is needed, along with four to five thousand Specialized Blue Ants, for refinement and processing.

The Young Ants will station at Huagi Mountain territory, no need for extensive Soldier Ants breeding.

The time delay won't exceed 10 years.

Dragon Cypress promised: "Agreed—"

White Ivy asked: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, who do you plan to send over?"

Dragon Cypress: "As for the Assistant King, it definitely has to be Black Sophora. As Insect Clan Warriors, arrange Mulberry, Areca, Purple Three Leaf, Green Heart to assist. Once familiar with the environment and workflow, evaluate the situation to potentially recall Mulberry and Areca to Xianglan Mountain for standby."

White Ivy worriedly said: "Each run actually accumulates 3 to 5 years worth of Divine-Given Origin Force Food, requiring swift refinement into Bee King Honey. Dragon Cypress Ant King, can one Assistant King manage it all?"

Black Sophora replied: "Fragrant Herb Star System's local production of Divine-Given Origin Force Food can be purchased through the Tree Blossom Shop, refining can be completed immediately. Moreover, find a few Insect Clan Warriors to assist in sorting and labeling Metal Cans. I will only supervise the refinement and packaging by Blue Ants. The workload is relatively small. A one-time processing, under one billion quantity, can be completed in less than half a month."

Ivy immediately raised her claw, saying: "I also understand trade, I can help! As well as Spruce and Wuye!"

"Alright. For now, we'll have to manage this way."

White Ivy pondered, then said: "If I recall correctly, the Divine-Grade Baihe Fruit matures and is harvested in two years, right?"

Black Peach replied: "Yes—"

White Ivy said: "The first batch of five has already been promised..."

Black Peach said: "Chairman White Ivy, if you're eager to embark on the trade, that would be three years later reaching the Fragrant Herb Star System, correct?"

White Ivy: "Exactly. Hence, need to dispatch an insect, specifically for delivery. Bringing the Divine-Grade Baihe Fruit, riding a direct Star Spider to Fragrant Herb Star System, directly delivering it to me. I'll be waiting there, saving time."
