491 Chapter 491! splitting and mining

Zhao Dabao didn’t dare to hide anything when it came to this matter that involved huge benefits. He didn’t want to leave behind any future trouble.

He was well aware of the consequences of being petty in such matters, so he knew what he should do from the beginning and appeared very honest.

The value and significance of this kind of Jade was something that Tang Zhen definitely knew better than him. Even if he were to completely take it as the Holy Dragon city’s private property, it would be an act of justice.

If things really developed to that point, Zhao Dabao would have no choice but to admit that he was unlucky.

This was because whatever decision Tang Zhen made was completely not something that Zhao Dabao could control.

Therefore, the short period of time waiting for Tang Zhen’s reply was a long torture for Zhao Dabao.

After Tang Zhen heard Zhao Dabao’s explanation, he mused for a moment before softly saying, logically, such an important strategic resource should not be exposed to the outside world. It should only be controlled by Lou Cheng.

Zhao Dabao’s heart turned cold as a bitter smile appeared on his face.

What he was most afraid of was Tang Zhen saying this. This was because, according to the characteristics of this kind of Jade, it could be considered as a strategic resource. How could the Holy Dragon City allow it to be freely circulated?

Tang Zhen ignored the disappointed Zhao Dabao and continued, however, the importance of the commercial district is self-evident. Not only can it bring a large amount of income to the Holy Dragon City, but it can also spread the Holy Dragon city’s prestige and attract more cultivators and Wanderers here.

When Zhao Dabao heard this, he was slightly taken aback. Then, his eyes lit up as if he had been reborn.

Tang Zhen’s words allowed him to faintly see a trace of hope.

the method you mentioned is indeed feasible. If it’s properly operated, it will certainly earn a considerable profit. Even I am very tempted.

After hearing this, Zhao Dabao’s face was already filled with joy as he looked at Tang Zhen with anticipation.

“I can leave this matter to you, but you’ll only be responsible for the sales operation. I’ll take 10% of the profit as a reward for you.

With this 10% of profit, it’s enough for you to become rich quickly. It can be considered as a reward for you.

You don’t need to be responsible for the mining of raw stones or the equipment required for the shop. You just need to do your job well and do a good job in marketing and sales.

This is my answer, are you satisfied?”

When Tang Zhen said this, he turned to look at Zhao Dabao without any expression on his face.

Zhao Dabao quickly nodded. He naturally had no objections, nor did he dare to.

In this matter, he could only be considered a discoverer at best. What he discovered was the wealth of the Holy Dragon City, and then he offered a suggestion that was not too brilliant.

With these items, he was able to earn ten percent of the profit from selling the raw gemstones. This was bound to be a considerable amount of wealth, so what was Zhao Dabao not satisfied with?

Even if he was still unwilling and resentful of Holy Dragon City monopolizing 90% of the profits, it could only flash through his mind and he did not dare to dream of getting what he should not have.

Greed was an original sin, and overestimating one’s own ability was also a way to court death. Zhao Dabao was very self-aware, so he was very open about it.

To be able to obtain all of this, he was already satisfied!

Zhao Dabao didn’t know that his current expression and actions were all seen by Tang Zhen. If he had even the slightest bit of dissatisfaction or resentment, Tang Zhen’s impression of him would be greatly reduced.

Tang Zhen had already given Zhao Dabao enough things. If he were to encounter a black-hearted person, Zhao Dabao would not be able to get any benefits.

If it was another foreign cultivator, Tang Zhen might have already killed them to keep the secret and kept all the benefits for himself.

This was a world of power. If you were weak, you would have to bear some losses or benefits. Otherwise, you would only be looking for trouble.

For Zhao Dabao to be able to see this clearly, he was quite an intelligent person.

In that case, he would use him as an example and prepare a bowl of chicken soup for the upcoming transmigrators!

……

After bidding farewell to Tang Zhen, Zhao Dabao began to get busy.

They followed a staff member from the Holy Dragon City who was appointed by Tang Zhen. The two of them arrived at the commercial district’s Management Office at the same time and met the person in charge.

After explaining his intention, the person-in-charge didn’t dare to delay and immediately picked a shop that wasn’t too remote for Zhao Dabao.

As for the shops on the main streets, they were all rented out. There was not a single empty space.

After arranging the work at hand, the person-in-charge led Zhao Dabao and the other man to the shop to take a look.

The area of the shop was large enough to store a lot of equipment. With a little renovation, it could open for business.

Zhao Dabao was very satisfied after looking at it. After he made his request to the person in charge, workers immediately came to start the construction.

These Wanderers recruited by the Holy Dragon City had become full-time workers in the commercial district. They were responsible for the maintenance of the commercial district and were also involved in the renovation of shops.

Compared to their previous vagabond life, their lives were much better now. While they were grateful, they also worked very seriously.

After the arrangements for the shop were done, Zhao Dabao and Zhao Yu took a car to the building in the mountain and found the person in charge of the cleaning and collection.

There were thousands of people working on the ruins of the wild buildings on the mountain peak. After they had felled and cleaned up the wood, they had taken it down the mountain and piled it up.

When Zhao Dabao arrived, he happened to run into da Xiong. He was commanding his 50-odd Ogre underlings to drag thick trees out of the ruins.

Da Xiong, who was standing on the side, was holding a bag of candy. From time to time, he would throw one to his little brother, and then eat one for himself.

Good things should be shared, so da Xiong never mistreated his underlings. It was just that when he ate the candy, his silly expression was funny.

Although da Xiong looked silly, he never caused trouble, and no one dared to look down on him.

Now, as long as the Holy Dragon city’s patrol team found an Ogre, they would immediately capture it and hand it over to old Wan to tame.

Every time they were successfully tamed, they would be handed over to da Xiong to command, which also caused him to have more and more little brothers.

In the current Holy Dragon City, the big Bear, who would bring a group of giant ogres with him wherever he went, had become a strange sight, often attracting the attention of passersby.

During this time, da Xiong’s underlings of ogres became the main force in clearing the buildings in the mountains. Their huge and terrifying figures could be seen everywhere.

The ogres ‘job was to help clean up the broken trees that were crushed by the soil.

After these trees were dragged out by the ogres, Wanderers who used various tools would surround them and clean up the branches of these trees. They would then tie them up with ropes and hang them on the bodies of the huge tamed monsters.

These monsters ‘levels were not high, but they had immense strength. After being tamed, they were very docile and easy to control.

Immediately after, a Wanderer directed the monsters to drag the trees down the mountain one by one and hand them over to another group of Wanderers to deal with.

It was a pity that there were not many of these tamed monsters. Most of the time, they had to rely on manpower to transport the wood down the mountain.

In addition to these primitive tools, some tools and instruments from the original world were also widely used, which greatly improved work efficiency.

After Zhao Dabao explained his intentions, the person-in-charge quickly deployed an excavator and a few hundred Wanderers with pickaxes to follow Zhao Dabao to the location where the raw gemstones were found.

When they arrived at the remote Valley, Zhao Dabao immediately saw the Wanderers gathered together and taught them how to identify and collect the raw stones.

When the raw stones were found, they would be piled together and then transported back to the Holy Dragon City by car.

In an open space not far away, a huge excavator was excavating the soil on the ground under the respectful eyes of the Wanderers, looking for a possible mine vein.

Time passed slowly. Cart after cart of raw gemstones were sent to the Holy Dragon city’s cave and were closely guarded.
