"Regarding the procurement of this portion of interstellar transport ships."

We can offer two purchase options.

The first option is for us to sell them to you at a 20% discount, but there's a restriction: you're not allowed to sell these interstellar transport ships to any external party without our permission.

The second option is for us to use these interstellar transport ships as capital to invest in your interstellar trade.

We can negotiate a ratio.

Let's say you buy an interstellar transport ship, and we are obligated to take 50% of the profits from any interstellar trade that this transport ship participates in over the next hundred years.

Based on this, we can discuss the price of this interstellar transport ship and offer you more discounts.

For example, this T5 Star Kun-class super-heavy interstellar transport ship, which was originally priced at two trillion Star Coins, can be sold to you for five hundred billion Star Coins.

25% off!

Profit sharing from a single interstellar transport ship over a hundred years.

It has to be said, this is an attractive price.

Lilith's purpose in saying this was quite simple: although they would not officially interfere with the interstellar trade of the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group, the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire had to have a share in the potentially large pie that the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group was growing into.

Not only can we make a profit from selling interstellar transport ships, but we can also make a profit from the space orders completed using these interstellar transport ships!

This is Lilith's idea.

The Bailan Interstellar Trade Group will be developed into a cash cow in the future, and naturally, the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire will have a share in that.

This suggestion made Hua Ya Lanlan ponder for a moment, and she naturally understood the purpose and reason behind it.

But this is not entirely unacceptable; it's similar to any other investment.

They just used interstellar transport ships as their investment.

"Then what about the T2 and T3 you mentioned before, and... the production technology of T4-class interstellar transport ships..." Hua Ya Nini asked impatiently.

She's already got her eye on this thing.

Lilith smiled slightly and then said, "Regarding the production technology blueprints for the four interstellar transport ships: the T2 Moose-class Heavy Interstellar Transport Ship, the T3 Great White Whale-class Heavy Interstellar Transport Ship, and the T4 Whale-class Heavy Interstellar Transport Ship."

We can give it to you.

However, there are conditions.

Firstly, its core modules, within your production requirement of 10,000 interstellar warships per model, must be purchased from our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire's factory and then transported to your factory for assembly.

The remaining portion can be produced by your own factory.

For every interstellar transport ship produced, half of the profits from those ships over the next hundred years will belong to us.

At the same time, we will charge a corresponding technology licensing fee for each interstellar transport ship produced.

For example, the T2 Moose-class heavy interstellar transport ship costs 50,000 Star Coins for technology licensing fees per ship.

The T3 Great White Whale-class heavy interstellar transport ship costs two million Star Coins in technology licensing fees per ship.

The T4 Whale-class heavy interstellar transport ship costs 100 million star coins for technology licensing fees per vessel.

Lilith recounted the events one by one.

Zhao Chen stood to the side, barely suppressing his laughter.

Lilith's plan is to bleed the White Orchid Interstellar Trading Group dry in every way possible.

This ironically left the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group with no reason to refuse.

After all, a T4 Whale-class heavy interplanetary transport ship costs 8 billion Star Coins, but now you only need to pay a technology licensing fee of 100 million Star Coins.

This is an absolute steal.

In contrast, the Dragon Star Empire can obtain 100 million star coins for free without doing anything.

Furthermore, once these interstellar transport ships are completed and put into use, they will provide long-term funding to the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

This is practically another money tree.

After hearing Lilith's arrangements...

Hanaya Nini also showed a thoughtful expression, probably calculating something in her mind at that moment.

"That's right, considering your industrial issues."

We can also provide other necessary items.

For example, the T2 Hammer-class heavy interstellar industrial ship, the T3 Furnace-class heavy interstellar industrial ship, the T4 Gemini-class heavy interstellar industrial ship, and the T5 Star-class heavy interstellar industrial ship.

Interstellar industrial ships are more convenient and offer greater ease of use.

In addition, there is the T5 Starship-class interstellar large-scale industrial base. Its advantage is that it is more cost-effective than interstellar industrial ships, but its disadvantage is that it cannot be moved and is a fixed production factory.

We can offer all of these to you for sale.

Of course, you can buy it at full price, or you can do it the same way as before.

Pay a portion of the fee, and then pay a certain amount based on the price of interstellar products produced over the next hundred years.

Lilith has taken all aspects into consideration.

From JF-17 series interstellar goods to interstellar transport ships and then to interstellar industrial ships.

Everything is available.

Lilith stopped talking at this point; she had already thrown out the hooks.

It's only a matter of time before these two flower fairies take the bait.

Because the bait on these hooks is just too tempting.

Almost no one would refuse this offer.

Zhao Chen then added, "Besides what Lilith just mentioned, we only need a certain percentage of the profits."

Apart from that, we will not interfere in other matters.

We will not assign personnel to those on interstellar transport ships and interstellar industrial ships unless you require it.

You can do business with whomever you want, and you are free to do as much business as you want in a year and how much each order costs.

We interfered with your internal management because you purchased these interstellar transport ships.

What we want is very simple.

That means the monthly dividends will arrive.

Zhao Chen rubbed his fingers together, making a gesture that everyone understood.

make money.

They only care about making money.

Hearing this, Hanaya Nini looked at her older sister eagerly.

It seems she's completely smitten.

Hua Ya Lanlan said, feigning composure, "We... can discuss what you've raised."

The fish has taken the bait.

Next, all you need to do is fatten it up.

Zhao Chen pointed directly at Lilith beside him and said, "Right now, what we both lack most is time."

Although if we can reach a consensus on the general direction, we can quickly develop a plan that we both agree on as our initial collaboration.

In these matters.

You can discuss matters concerning the Dragon Star Empire with Lilith.

Lilith is the Supreme Secretary of the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire and also oversees the empire's economic power.

Hana-ya Lanlan looked at Lilith and nodded in acknowledgment.

Next, it's time for these three people.

They began to discuss and consult on the detailed plan.

At first, Huaya Lanlan and Huaya Nini were probably a little reserved.

However, Lilith demonstrated her extensive hunting range and high efficiency.

Anything, even things that you cannot arrange yourself.

They will also arrange for their subordinates to develop a plan as soon as possible.

After all, this is the T6 Dragon Emperor interstellar command ship.

It is the brain of the Dragon Star Empire, and it has a large number of think tank experts.

In terms of economics, finance, and market trade.

In addition, there is the cooperation and computation of artificial intelligence.

Many solutions can be finalized in the shortest possible time.

This saved them a lot of time.

This made Huaya Lanlan and Huaya Nini very satisfied.

At the Flower Fairy's interstellar trading post, time is always the most valuable thing.

Therefore, they are very used to working with highly efficient people.

Take, for example, the current Xiaolong Interstellar Empire and the Secretary Lilith in front of us.

Zhao Chen, being an outsider, listened quietly from the side without offering any opinions.

This silence alone earned Huaya Lanlan and Huaya Nini a lot more respect for this Dragon Emperor.

They had previously cooperated with some interstellar kingdoms and interstellar forces.

Among them were some leaders and kings who knew absolutely nothing about interstellar trade, yet insisted on offering what they considered to be unique insights when negotiating cooperation.

Ultimately, this not only greatly affected the efficiency of cooperation, but sometimes even led to an arrogant belief that the solutions they proposed were the correct ones.

This is what they find most offensive.

However, at present, it seems that this situation does not exist at the Dragon Emperor.

Hua Ya Lanlan looked at Emperor Xiaolong, who had remained silent, and took a moment to say, "Should we have His Majesty Emperor Xiaolong review these proposals and give his evaluation?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen immediately shook his head and said, "You are the professionals in these matters; I am only a dabbler."

In your presence, I have no right to speak.

You can discuss and decide on it yourselves. Once you have a final, detailed report, Lilith can then inform me.

There's no need to report everything else to me.

Zhao Chen spoke about his role model.

Hua Ya Lanlan was very surprised, never expecting that this Dragon Emperor would delegate so much power.

Lilith, who was on the other side, spoke up at this moment, explaining, "Miss Hanaya Ranran, you don't need to worry about some things."

Our Emperor Dragon has one principle.

"Leave professional matters to professionals!"

After listening to Lilith's explanation, Hana-ya Ranran was deeply moved.

Hua Ya Nini, standing to the side, even felt that the Dragon Emperor in front of her was as if it were glowing!

Having such a partner is incredibly fortunate for them.

My dream partner!

Zhao Chen didn't pay attention to what the two were thinking; instead, he was thinking about his future plans.

Although they have successfully brought in the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group.

However, it will still take a long time to nurture the Bailan Interstellar Trading Group, this cash cow.

As things stand, it will take at least a year and a half to see significant results.

Before that, the only role it could play was the intelligence network and connections provided by the White Orchid Interstellar Trade Group.

This is also why Lilith chose to win over the White Orchid Interstellar Trade Group first.

However, with the White Orchid Interstellar Trade Group as a hidden agent here, once this cash cow grows stronger in the future...

Even if the Dragon Star Empire truly opens up an external market, and at the same time a trade market that can connect with other cosmic civilizations, its potential is enormous.

Not only in interstellar trade, but also in many other aspects, we can help the Dragon Star Empire!

Several hours passed, with both sides taking a break in between.

Soon, the first step of the plan between the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire and the White Orchid Interstellar Trade Group was finalized.

Zhao Chen glanced at the entire plan's operational steps.

The first priority is to get the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group back to normal operation, as they currently lack start-up capital.

In response, the Dragon Empire will provide the White Orchid Interstellar Trade Group with a phase one loan investment, injecting a total of one hundred trillion star coins in batches.

Of course, this comes with interest.

The timeframe is from one year to a maximum of ten years.

The annual interest rate is 20%.

This means that if the debt cannot be repaid within one year, a one-time repayment of 120 trillion Star Coins will be required, and so on.

Under normal circumstances, almost no one would accept such a high interest rate.

But when Hana Ya Lanlan saw this clause, she accepted it without hesitation.

Because she knew that, firstly, no force, not even the Fairy Fairy Interstellar Bank run by the Fairy Fairy Federation tribe, could possibly give her a commercial loan of one hundred trillion star coins all at once.

Only the Dragon Star Empire was willing to pay, so what seemed like a high interest rate was nothing to Hua Ya Lanlan.

Of these 100 trillion star coins, the Dragon Star Empire will not actually provide all of them; the actual amount they will provide is estimated to be less than 10 trillion star coins.

Because the remaining part will be replaced with physical objects.

For example, in this first commercial order from Bailan Interstellar Trade Group to Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, Xiaolong Interstellar Empire will first deliver the goods to Bailan Interstellar Trade Group.

First, at a preferential price of 30 trillion Star Coins, we will purchase ten T5 Star-class heavy interstellar industrial ships, three hundred T4 Gemini-class heavy interstellar industrial ships, five thousand T3 Furnace-class heavy interstellar industrial ships, and one hundred thousand T2 Iron Hammer-class heavy interstellar industrial ships.

In addition, one hundred T5 Star Kun-class super-heavy interstellar transport ships, five thousand T4 Giant Whale-class heavy interstellar transport ships, and three hundred thousand T3 Moose-class heavy interstellar transport ships will be purchased at a preferential price of sixty trillion Star Coins.

The remaining ten trillion star coins will serve as working capital for the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group, as well as licensing fees for the self-production of the T2 Moose-class Heavy Interstellar Transport Ship, the T3 Whale-class Heavy Interstellar Transport Ship, and the T4 Whale-class Heavy Interstellar Transport Ship.

Of these starships, only the T2 Moose-class heavy interstellar transport ship, which is produced by the White Orchid Interstellar Trade Group, can be sold to foreign buyers. No other starships are allowed to be sold to foreign buyers.

These procurement orders were all made at the cost of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire taking 50% of the profits from these starships over the next hundred years.

That's one way to put it.

Over the next hundred years, nearly 50% of the profits of the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group will belong to the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

This current trillion star coins is an investment by the Dragon Star Empire in the White Orchid Star Trade Group, enabling it to develop in the shortest possible time.

Some may worry that what if the powerful Bailan Interstellar Trade Group breaks away from the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire a hundred years from now?

Putting aside the fact that a hundred years is a very distant time for Zhao Chen, who is currently focused on the present, it is a very long time.

Moreover, this is only the first phase of the cooperation plan.

Further cooperation plans will be implemented, and these plans will naturally come with certain conditions, which will eventually make it impossible for the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group to break away from the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

“We can guarantee that the items for this first phase of the cooperation order will be delivered within three months,” Lilith said.

Three months?

"So fast?" Hua Ya Nini was greatly surprised by the sheer number of orders.

Even if their Bailan Interstellar Trade Group were to purchase from various starship dealers, disregarding funding issues, it would be difficult to guarantee full delivery within three months.

Lilith smiled slightly, offering no further explanation, and simply said calmly, "You can rest assured about that."

When we say three months, we mean three months.

All you need to do here is arrange for personnel to receive them and send people to the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire universe for relevant training.

Hua Ya Lanlan wrote down these details.

They still haven't realized how vast and perfect the industrial system of the Dragon Star Empire is.

"Now that we've reached an agreement on these matters..."

"Then let's talk about other things," Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Hua Ya Lanlan showed no signs of panic or worry. She naturally knew that this Emperor Xiaolong would not make a special trip for such a simple matter of cooperation.

There will definitely be other things.

"Your Majesty, if there is anything we at the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group can do to help you, we would be happy to do our best!" said Huaya Lanlan.

Zhao Chen got straight to the point: "I'd like to ask, what is your relationship with the Stone Kingdom?"

Kingdom of Stone?

Upon hearing this name, Hana Yalan's expression underwent a subtle change.

Although it was very subtle, Lilith still managed to catch it.

Lilith smiled and said, "Miss Hanaya Ranran, there's no need to worry."

We know you have a good relationship with the Stone Kingdom, and we have no ill intentions towards them; we simply want to develop some mutually beneficial collaborations with them as well!

"The Kingdom of Stone has very rich mineral resources."

However, as far as we know, their utilization rate is very low.

The extraction of these minerals is also very inefficient.

"We are willing to cooperate with the Stone Kingdom to increase their current mineral output by dozens of times in a short period of time!"

"For this purpose, we can provide our interstellar mining ships, as well as other related technologies!"

"Of course, the condition is that our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire has priority in purchasing these minerals, as well as a low price."

"If all of these can be achieved, it will be of great benefit to your Bailan Interstellar Trade Group, after all, those mineral products are also excellent products."

As far as I know, goods from the Stone Kingdom are currently best-selling items within the known universe, and are considered to be of high quality among similar mineral deposits.

Lilith continued to explain their ideas.

Hua Ya Lanlan and Hua Ya Nini quickly understood the intentions of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

Hanaya Nini looked thoughtful: "Cooperating with the Stone Kingdom will be quite difficult."

It's important to know that the Stone Kingdom has always been quite resistant to outsiders.

To date, their cosmic frontiers are not open to outsiders, and any unauthorized interstellar fleet entering their Stone Kingdom universe will be considered a declaration of war against the Stone Kingdom.

Furthermore, the consequence will be a ban on the sale of all mineral products produced by Stone King.

Furthermore, given the already formidable military strength of the Stone Kingdom universe, no one dared to use force against this interstellar kingdom sitting atop its treasure trove.

"The main reason why we are unwilling to use force is not because the Stone Kingdom is powerful."

The overall strength of the Stone Kingdom is at most T5 or near T6 level.

If a true T6-level interstellar civilization's fleet were to invade, the Stone Kingdom would still be unable to withstand it.

The real reason outsiders don't attack them is the unique cosmic characteristics of their interstellar civilization. "This is what Huaya Lanlan interjected from the side."

She paused and continued, "The Stone Kingdom universe is characterized by its very special magnetic field, which has a great influence on intelligent beings."

Based on our previous experiments.

Surviving in the Stone Kingdom universe without protection initially causes dizziness, followed by vomiting, recurring high fever, and the skin gradually turning gray.

If this person does not leave the Stone Kingdom universe during this stage, all of their organs will harden.

Simply put, it means that this person's inner and outer self gradually begin to turn into'stone'.

We've done experiments on prisoners before.

A humanoid creature, without any protection, survived for a month on a habitable planet in the Stone Kingdom universe, and then turned into a statue.

Petrochemical?

stone carving?

Zhao Chen was somewhat surprised. The information provided by the Holy Elf Empire had mentioned that the Stone Kingdom was somewhat special, but it did not specify the details.

I never expected it to be for this reason.

"Furthermore, the environment of habitable planets in the Stone Kingdom universe is actually not suitable for most humanoid beings or carbon-based life forms like us."

They were all extremely bad.

First of all, there's the issue of oxygen. They only need less than one percent of the oxygen we do, so we all experience oxygen deficiency once we go up there.

There are also various foods; eating local food will accelerate the entire petrification process.

We currently call this disease petrification.

These issues alone could be resolved using certain methods.

The most fatal reason is another one.

Some mineral-bearing asteroids in the Stone Kingdom universe are very special; their materials can spontaneously combust!

Furthermore, the scientists of the Stone Kingdom have already effectively mastered and utilized it.

They even created a wartime self-destruct plan specifically for it.

If an interstellar civilization were to militarily invade their universe, these asteroids containing special mineral deposits could self-destruct under their control.

In this situation, even if they eventually forcibly take over the Stone Kingdom.

That would inevitably come at the cost of extremely heavy casualties.

"If it's a bone, even a slightly hard one, people can still gnaw on it. But this is a thorny bone; if you try to gnaw on it, you'll just get a mouthful of thorns." Hua Ya Lanlan shook her head helplessly and said.
