Kapitel 115: Gamble
"Sigh..."
After a long pause, Ning Fengzhi let out a sigh and shook his head helplessly.
Before the establishment of the Body Sect, they had a way to stop it.
But after Zhongli became the sect leader, they were powerless!
Even though they knew they were raising a future threat, they had no choice but to befriend them, even offering large amounts of cultivation resources.
The Body Sect's rapid development had a lot to do with the contributions from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!
What Ning Fengzhi didn't know was that it wasn't just the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect; the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall also provided significant support to the Body Sect.
Otherwise, just one sect like the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would find it unbearable to shoulder such heavy costs alone.
By this time, the Body Sect had already started developing its own path, and Zhongli, being the God of Wealth, had countless ways to make money.
"Report!"
"Reporting to the sect master, an elder from the Body Sect is here, saying he has important matters to discuss!"
At that moment, Ning Fengzhi was stunned, a bit puzzled. After exchanging glances with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, he said, "Invite him in."
"Yes!"
Although he didn't know the other party's intention, the current Body Sect was not an entity to offend.
Harmony brings wealth, and peace fosters growth.
Considering that the Body Sect was only a few kilometers away from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, it's no wonder that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was the most concerned about them!
After a moment, the elder from the Body Sect arrived at the discussion hall. With a respectful yet dignified demeanor, he cupped his hands toward Ning Fengzhi and the others, saying, "I am Zhang Hu. Greetings to Sect Master Ning, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo!"
Seeing the other party being so courteous, Ning Fengzhi and the others breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Body Sect hadn't forgotten the "kindness" of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Between sects, only interests matter; ingratitude is quite common.
"Elder Zhang, please sit."
"Serve tea!"
After Zhang Hu sat down, Ning Fengzhi continued, "I wonder what brings Elder Zhang here today?"
"Sect Master Ning, I'll speak plainly."
Zhang Hu took a sip of tea, cupped his hands, and bluntly said, "I'm here on behalf of our sect master to discuss some business as a token of gratitude for the support your sect provided us recently!"
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and the others were momentarily stunned. Business?
"What kind of business?"
"Big money business!"
Money wasn't something the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect lacked. They were the wealthiest sect in the world, with a fortune comparable to that of a nation.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi felt a bit disappointed. He had hoped for some other form of cooperation, only to find out it was just about making money...
It was like a poor man telling the richest person, "Let me show you how to make money!"
Ridiculous!
Though slightly disappointed, Ning Fengzhi didn't show it. Instead, he feigned interest and said, "Please, Elder Zhang, elaborate!"
Without hesitation, Zhang Hu took out several items from his storage soul tool.
When these items appeared, Ning Fengzhi and the others were even more perplexed.
"Sect Master Ning, these are perfume, soap, and incense!"
"Each of these comes in three grades: low, medium, and high!"
"You can ask some of your female disciples to try them and see if they like them!"
At this point, Zhang Hu smiled mysteriously, mentally giving his sect master a thumbs up.
At first, the men of the Body Sect didn't understand. Could these items really sell?
What was even more absurd was the high price!
But to their surprise, the female disciples of the sect absolutely adored these products…
This made them suddenly realize!
Zhongli had a deeper purpose behind his actions!
Ning Fengzhi was momentarily stunned. As a business tycoon, after a brief moment of thought, he vaguely understood Zhang Hu's intentions.
Without a second thought, Ning Fengzhi called for some female disciples to come and try out these "products."
Once they did, the discussion hall became like a blooming garden, with the scents mixing together into a combination that was, to say the least, indescribable.
The mixed fragrances weren't exactly pleasant, but individually, each scent was refreshing and soothing.
The female disciples, however, were absolutely thrilled. Anything that could enhance their attractiveness was irresistibly tempting to them.
Just by observing their expressions, Ning Fengzhi understood the power of these products.
After the female disciples left, Ning Fengzhi began to contemplate the profit aspect.
The products were good, and they would undoubtedly be loved by noblewomen, young ladies, and even female soul masters. This was something Ning Fengzhi didn't deny.
But since this was a business, the issue of profit-sharing arose. What role should the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect play?
"Elder Zhang, how does your sect intend to cooperate?"
"Sect Master Ning, according to our sect master, your sect would handle production and sales, and our sect would only take a small portion of the profits."
Since this was a gesture of gratitude, it wouldn't make sense for them to take the larger share—that was Zhongli's thinking.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had contributed so much already. If they were to keep taking without giving back, it would be ungrateful…
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi fell into deep thought.
Was Zhongli using this profitable business to distance their relationship?
If they followed Zhongli's plan, with the Body Sect only taking a small portion of the profits, it would be almost the same as giving these products to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect for free.
It would be something they could easily abandon, and the Body Sect likely wouldn't care about such a small portion of the profits.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect wasn't short on money. In fact, they had so much money they didn't even know where to spend it.
When capital is in a closed loop, the money spent would always find its way back to their pockets in some form.
Binding their interests together so that the Body Sect couldn't operate without the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect—that was the real win-win situation!
Once he understood this, a slight smile appeared on Ning Fengzhi's lips. At the same time, he felt ashamed of his earlier suspicions.
He had overthought the situation—there was no "raising a tiger to invite future trouble."
"Let's do this: for this cooperation, my sect will handle production and sales, and your sect will take 60% of the profits."
Distance the relationship?
Heh... No way!
'Not only will I prevent you from distancing yourself, but I, Ning Fengzhi, will raise the stakes!'
Sixty percent of the profits should be enough to bind our interests together, right?
Zhang Hu: "???"
Wait a minute, didn't he just say they only wanted a small portion of the profits?
How did the Body Sect end up with 60%?
"Uh, Sect Master Ning, our sect only needs 10-20% of the profits to maintain operations. Sixty percent is far too much…"
Before Zhang Hu could finish speaking, Ning Fengzhi's eyes gleamed with a knowing smile.
Just as he had expected!
Ten to twenty percent?
Profits that could be discarded at any time wouldn't matter to them. If the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect ever encountered problems in the future, the Body Sect could easily cut ties and sever that flow of income!
It's too little—far too little!
"Elder Zhang, your sect was only established two months ago. This is precisely when you need money the most."
"Your sect provides the formulas but only takes 10-20% of the profits. If word of this got out, how would the heroes of the world view my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?"
"My sect could never do something like that!"
"How about this: your sect takes 80% of the profits, and my sect only takes 20%. Consider it a small token of support from us for your sect's development!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hu was utterly dumbfounded.
