After their'swimming', it was obvious that the Stone King's attitude towards Zhao Chen had become much warmer.

The two acted like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.

The Stone King even invited Zhao Chen to his palace as a guest.

However, Zhao Chen declined, citing time constraints.

When they returned to the conference hall in the space city.

The Stone King smiled at Zhao Chen and said directly, "Regarding the cooperation proposed by His Excellency Emperor Xiaolong earlier."

I think we can discuss some of the details.

Hua Ya Lanlan was secretly delighted. She could see that the cooperation between the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire and the Stone Kingdom was a done deal.

The next few steps involve some detailed discussions, and the two parties can then establish a long-term partnership.

The cooperation between the Dragonflight {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} Interstellar Empire and the Stone Kingdom will bring significant benefits to both sides, but the White Orchid Interstellar Trade Group, which facilitates the cooperation, will also reap substantial rewards.

"Regarding the betting agreement..." Stone King pointed to one of the clauses and looked at Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "You should also know the requirements of the betting agreement; the conditions are not very harsh."

Provided that we provide the corresponding interstellar mining ships.

Within this timeframe, increasing production capacity is entirely feasible.

At that time, you will be able to obtain more mineral wealth.

At the same time, we can purchase more mineral resources, which is not a problem for either of us.

Isn't that right?

As for why we had to make such an agreement, it was actually to protect the rights and interests of both of us.

As the saying goes, "Courtesy first, then force."

We've reached an agreement on everything, which will prevent unnecessary conflicts and disputes later on.

Hua Ya Lanlan agreed, saying, "Yes, everyone has written these things down here."

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Everyone stated their demands frankly, and everyone agreed that this kind of cooperation wasn't His Majesty the Stone King's preferred approach.

The Stone King nodded.

He didn't actually have any objections to this suggestion.

Soon, the Stone King instructed his subordinates to begin negotiating detailed cooperation plans with Lilith's side.

The cooperation method is basically the same as the previous cooperation method with Bailan Interstellar Trade Group.

The Stone Kingdom doesn't have that much wealth to purchase interstellar mining ships outright; if they did, they simply couldn't afford many.

Therefore, they all cooperate to purchase a batch of interstellar mining ships at the lowest possible price.

For those who lack funds, Emperor Dragon even generously provided a batch of interstellar mining ships in advance. They only need to repay the loans after collecting mineral resources and paying a certain amount of interest.

It's clear that Xiaolong Dihang is even more eager than the Stone King to increase the Stone King's mineral production.

In addition to interstellar mining ships, the starships purchased by the Stone Kingdom also include some interstellar warships and various types of interstellar Eden starships.

For example, almost all of the starships that Zhao Chen brought to the exhibition this time were kept.

In addition, from now on, the Star Empire will directly hold 90% of the market share for the mineral resources sold by the Stone Kingdom.

This means that the Kingdom of Stone will become a future resource-producing area for the Dragon Star Empire!

After that, Zhao Chen raised another suggestion.

That is to facilitate cooperation between the two parties by establishing a permanent inter-universe stargate between the Stone Kingdom and the Dragon Star Empire, with all construction costs borne by the Dragon Star Empire.

The stargates built on the Stone Kingdom's side are controlled by the Stone Kingdom, with each side controlling its own stargate.

After the Holy Elf Empire was responsible for building permanent cosmic stargates in two locations.

The Xiaolong Interstellar Empire quickly mastered the technology in this area, making the construction of a stargate for inter-space travel a breeze.

The Stone King hesitated only slightly before agreeing to the proposal.

This intergalactic stargate connecting the Dragon Star Empire and the Stone Kingdom is expected to be completed within three months.

Hua Ya Lanlan looked at this series of collaborations and then gazed meaningfully at Xiaolong Emperor.

With all these collaborations finalized, this cosmic stargate project seems like just icing on the cake.

But in reality, once this cosmic stargate is completed...

The 'distance' between the Dragon Empire and the Stone Kingdom will be greatly shortened, and it is even possible that in the future the Stone Kingdom will be completely unable to break away from the Dragon Empire.

It must be said that this Emperor of the Dragon not only focuses on the present, but also plans for the future!

Hidden within this series of actions are many hidden interests!

This made Huaya Lanlan feel fortunate to be able to cooperate with such a smart person, but she was also worried that this might put the Bailan Interstellar Trading Group in a dangerous situation.

The entire negotiation took less than twenty hours.

Zhao Chen, the Emperor of the Dragon King, represented the Dragon King Interstellar Empire in signing all the cooperation agreements with the Kingdom of Stone.

From then on, the Dragon Star Empire truly established a long-term cooperative relationship with the Stone Kingdom.

At this time, Zhao Chen also declined the Stone King's invitation to stay for a few more days.

Zhao Chen, the Emperor of the Dragon, is currently swamped with various affairs and needs to go back to handle many matters.

Naturally, there's no time to linger here.

He immediately took his leave with Hana and Lanlan and left the Stone Kingdom.

Upon returning to the Flower Fairy Federation Tribe universe.

Hua Ya Lanlan looked at Zhao Chen and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, regarding your Eden-class starships of the Xiaolong series, our Bailan Interstellar Trade Group also hopes to cooperate with you on related matters."

Or perhaps we could directly purchase a batch of these Eden-class starships!

Zhao Chen looked at Hua Ya Lanlan and chuckled to himself; another fish had taken the bait.

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "Of course we can cooperate with you on this Eden-class starship."

However, given the current economic situation of the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group and your capabilities, it will be difficult to utilize this resource in a short period of time.

Hua Ya Lanlan's expression darkened, because what the Dragon Emperor said was true.

Following those previous collaborations, the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group will undergo a round of restructuring, after which a period of adjustment will be required.

They haven't even fully mastered their original business segments yet, and now they're going to develop another one. It's going to be a huge burden for the Bailan Interstellar Trading Group.

"Actually, we might as well do it this way."

These Eden-class starships are actually associated with food trading groups within our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

However, no trade routes have been established in any universe other than the Holy Elf Empire universe.

Rather than having you handle this section alone, it's impossible to digest it in a short period of time.

Why don't we cooperate? You can focus on sales and transportation, while Eden Food Trading Group will handle production.

In this way, you also save the cost of purchasing Eden-class starships.

"You have to understand, quantity is extremely important in the grain trade. If you can't have a large number of Eden-class starships at the same time, it will be difficult for you to capture the market in a short period of time, even if you start this business," Zhao Chen said, expressing his thoughts.

Hua Ya Lanlan immediately understood what Xiaolong Emperor meant.

What appears to be a collaboration is actually using the Bailan Interstellar Trading Group as a pawn.

However... even if you're only in charge of sales, the profits are still considerable.

The biggest advantage is that it can quickly seize the market share of the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group. Although grain trade is a very common interstellar trade, it is also a very useful tool for business warfare!

After all, no one would refuse food.

Moreover, the food produced by Eden-class starships ranges from top-grade and super-grade to ordinary food, which is mainly produced in large quantities.

It can be described as a comprehensive attack!

"And what about the profit?" Hua Ya Lanlan squinted at Zhao Chen, revealing her businessman-like demeanor.

Zhao Chen smiled slightly: "Your Bailan Interstellar Trading Group will be fully responsible for transportation, storage, and sales."

"And from the profits generated from sales, after deducting production costs, your Bailan Interstellar Trade Group takes 20%, and the Eden Garden Grain Trade Group takes 80%."

Hearing Zhao Chen's proposed profit distribution, Hua Ya Lanlan frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "Isn't Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor eating far too much?"

After deducting the costs of transportation, storage, and sales from that 20% share, the actual profit left is practically negligible.

Zhao Chen smiled slightly and said calmly, "It may seem like the profit margin isn't high, but you should know that our Eden brand grains have no rivals in the market."

With this market share, even a small profit margin is enough to feed the Bailan Interstellar Trading Group in such a large market.

Moreover, what your Bailan Interstellar Trade Group has gained is not just what it appears to be.

Through this food trade, you can establish solid cooperative relationships with various interstellar civilizations and universes in a short period of time, for future interstellar trade cooperation.

Grain trade is the best stepping stone.

At the same time, you can also use this to acquire or cooperate with other Fairy Star Traders.

I think it will happen within six months.

The Bailan Interstellar Trading Group could become the largest interstellar trading group in terms of market share across the entire Fairy Federation tribes.

Six months.

Before this, Huaya Lanlan thought it might take three years, but now with the help of Eden Food Trading Group, it can indeed be completed within six months.

Just thinking about these things...

Hua Ya Lanlan felt a little excited.

Compared to the immediate profits, the market share and market position that Bailan Interstellar Trading Group can obtain are of value that cannot be described in numbers!

Hua Ya Lanlan finally nodded and agreed to Zhao Chen's proposed cooperation plan regarding grain trade!
