BXBX NOVEL Chapter 41: Buying a House
He knew that if he wanted to win over this young master who could pull off such a thing so casually, he had to be sincere.
In fact, so far, this is the only Young Master he knows of who can pull out a cultivation technique of this grade so casually.
'Even Young Masters from the great families can't do it... Possibly he is from a Second Level Empire or could even be from a First Level one...' The man thought, felt no fear. In fact, he was excited, but that was precisely why he spoke sincerely.
Tang Yin noticed this, and although he knew what this man was trying to do, he couldn't help but praise him in his heart for acting like this.
However, he was more surprised by the fact that this little cultivation technique seemed to be more expensive than he thought.
--"How much do you think the market price of that cultivation technique might be?" Tang Yin asked, and the man looked thoughtful for a moment.
--"...It is difficult to say since it is a cultivation technique to settle the base and not one that helps cultivate. Still... The price should not go below 300,000 Spiritual Gold Coins if you sell it at auction and promote it. Though, of course, that's here or in cities similar to this one, of third-tier empires.
In second or first level Empires, the price would be higher, it's just that it would be difficult for the young master to find who would buy it, since there all the sects are very powerful and don't usually seek cultivation techniques below Spirit Grade." Replied the man.
He was speaking sincerely, and although Tang Yin could not know if what he was saying was true, he trusted his instinct thanks to his divine soul, and thanks to that she could tell that this man was not lying.
Because of that, he nodded toward him.
--"I saw a while ago that there was a very nice house worth 150,000 Spiritual Gold Coins, very close to the Imperial Academy headquarters in this city, how about if I exchange it for it? The rest of the money you can give us when you manage to sell the technique, you make a profit, of course.
Or simply, I can sell it to you for 200,000 Spiritual Gold Coins and you earn the rest when you sell it." Tang Yin said directly.
He didn't want to waste time on nonsense, and the man smiled excitedly.
It was just what he was waiting for.
--"Young Master, if you will be in this city for a while, we can make a deal. I don't have that much money, so I can't buy it, but, if you give it to me as payment for that house, I assure you that in 1 week I will deliver the rest of the money to your door. We can sign a blood contract if you like." Replied the man, blurting out his whole plan.
From the beginning, he wanted to make this deal, and he knew that if he accepted this thing as payment, the superiors would not only praise and promote him but would seek to sell such a technique quickly at the auction to be held in a few days. This is to take advantage of the number of people in the city, among whom there are many rich people who would pay blood for this technique.
Be that as it may, he wanted a promotion.
And Tang Yin, be that as it may, wanted a house and also wanted money.
So, he immediately nodded in approval of what he was proposing.
The man's response to him was gratifying.
--"Hahaha, I'm glad to make a deal with someone like you, Young Master. I will immediately look for the papers to sign." Said the man and immediately left.
Soon after, he returned with several things to sign.
Tang Yin then passed the papers to Huang Feifei.
--"Sign, this house must be in your name." Tang Yin said, surprising Huang Feifei.
--"Young Master... Are you sure? It's a house worth over 100,000 spiritual gold coins in a big city!" She spoke.
As a daughter of merchants, she knew very well that houses like these found in big cities increase in price year after year so they could be sold at a better price a few years later.
Still, Tang Yin was not worried about this.
--"It's okay, remember that I have to leave soon." Tang Yin said as he smiled at her, and then she looked at him somewhat pained by that, but still nodded.
She simply signed here and there.
The man didn't care who signed. He just wanted to get it done.
Then Tang Yin signed other documents, and they said goodbye, leaving that place having completed what they wanted, and now they were heading to their new home.
When have enough money or resources, complicated things are easily solved. This is a clear example of that famous saying in the world of cultivation.
...
The man who sold them the house immediately ran to the president's office as soon as he saw them leave.
He didn't want to waste time, he already had what he needed.
He never told anyone else about this and did it all by himself without telling anyone because he wanted this client to be tied to him.
A 3-star earth-grade cultivation technique!
Even if it was one to settle the base, it was still impressive that he had gotten something like that, so he couldn't give that client to anyone else.
He signed an agreement through blood without caring about tying himself to it because he didn't really care. If he was tied it was much better because in such a case, the company could only depend on him to connect with that young master.
Everything is beneficial if he does it on his own!
But, because he knew his status was low, once everything was done, and he was sure he would come out as the one responsible for this, he had to let the president know so he could fix everything.
That is why he soon arrived at an office and knocked on the door.
From inside he heard a 'come in', so he immediately went inside.
When the president saw him, he frowned a little.
--"What is it?" he asked.
The man then quickly entered and smiled at him.
--"President, we have a big client this time." He replied with a big smile, and after seeing the confused look on the president's face, he pulled out the technique he had just obtained and put it on the table.
The president was more confused now, but seeing that he had pulled something out, he decided to grab it to see what it was.
His brow furrowed when he saw the name of the cultivation technique.
'Oh? This guy managed to sell a house for a good cultivation technique?' He thought and immediately opened the first page of the book.
When he opened it and saw the grade and the number of stars painted in yellow underneath, he was stunned for a moment.
It was a few seconds.
Shortly thereafter he stood up with a start.
--"3-star earth grade cultivation technique! Who is this client who gave this to you?" He asked in astonishment and in a shout.
The man expected this reaction, so he then pulled out other documents and gave them to him.
--"President, his name is Tang Yin, he is a person who looks young. He wears a black mask on his face, but I could confirm that he is a good-looking young master, moreover, he travels together with a beautiful young lady, he was the one who took out this cultivation technique to exchange it for a house." He said, as he looked at the chairman reading over and over the different documents.
He also read the blood contract.
At first, he felt a bit annoyed that this guy had done such a thing without telling him, but after all, this was a big win for his business, so he still congratulated him.
--"Haha, congratulations, Mr. Ku, you seem to have found a good client this time. A very good one too! You will be the next Assistant Manager of this Branch, but right now I need you to tell me, where is this young master from? Isn't he from one of the sects of the empire?" The president spoke magnanimously as he promoted the man in front of him and tried to get some information.
The man was glad of this.
'Shit, the Deputy Manager, this is a great position!' He thought with a smile but didn't forget to answer.
--"President, you are not a citizen of the empire. He told me that they have made a long journey from their homeland and it looks like they will be continuing shortly, but from what I have been told, I can confirm that they could be from a First Tier Empire or they could even be from another region." Replied the man and this surprised the president even more.
'Another region? Traveling from so far away... Although I am not a cultivator, I am aware that occasionally young masters who travel to other regions usually do so when they are accepted by some Great Sect...' The president thought.
The possibility that had occurred to him was a bit frightening, but it seemed to make some sense. And if that wasn't the case, at the very least he's sure that normal people, or weak cultivators, don't travel around the continent because it's too dangerous.
There are empires and kingdoms at war constantly, and every year some of them disappear, which is very dangerous. Not to mention the demons, spiritual beasts, and other dangers that are constantly lurking in the darkness.
It is simply not feasible for weaklings to walk around this continent, so the probability that they were powerful cultivators was high.
That was why, after thinking for a moment, he made a decision.
--"Mr. Ku, as of today you are the manager of this place. As long as you maintain a good relationship with those people your position will be irremovable, so, do your job as it should be. Also, go to that young master and ask him if he can sell me this cultivation technique for 300 thousand spiritual gold coins." Said the president firmly, taking Mr. Ku by surprise.
Mr. Ku was jumping for joy when he learned that he would now be the manager, and although he did not understand why he made the decision, he was not going to question it. This was more than he already wanted.
A manager was practically a director; while the president was gone, he was the highest in charge.
Although he was surprised by what he said at the end, he didn't question it. He simply nodded and told him several more things in a long talk that lasted quite a while...
