City of Pearl is one of the most prosperous coastal cities in the Canton of Pearl Beach, Kingdom of Anjou.

Of course, it is incomparable to Rumi Aster, known as the "Pearl of the Sea." The prosperity and population size of Pearl City are on the same order of magnitude as Port Kapur.

Pearl City is the territory of the Anjou royal family. If you want to cooperate with the Anjou royal family to build factories overseas, it is undoubtedly the best choice.

.

Charlie Iris was unhappy: "Sean, what you said is wrong. You are building a factory in Pearl City, and you are responsible for all the construction materials and personnel. So what benefits can our royal family get?"

Of course, the "benefiting all peoples" mentioned by Charlie Iris just now is just a loud slogan. In the final analysis, it is not for the benefit of the family!

Sean is not stupid, of course he knows this very well, and he has also made sufficient preparations:

"Your Majesty the King is like this. After all, our two companies are cooperative. After the factory is built, we can send professionals to evaluate the construction cost of the factory, and then the royal family will pay us half of the construction cost in gold coins.

After that, how about we share the entire net profit from this factory 50-50?"

Sean certainly put forward this condition after careful consideration.

It looks like Sean is at a loss.

After all, he has to provide personnel and construction materials, bear the risks of construction, production, and sales, and in the end he can only get half of the profit.

But Sean is actually not at a loss.

In addition to paying half of the construction cost, the royal family also paid for something very important - the market.

Huge markets in the three states of the Kingdom of Anjou!

Without a market, all business activities are empty talk.

Why did the West in Sean's previous life launch colonial wars with foreign countries? It's very simple, in order to open up a larger market and obtain greater profits for capital.

Therefore, Sean is willing to pay half of the profits for the huge market in the three states of the Kingdom of Anjou.

.

After listening to Sean's words, Charlie Iris' eyes lit up.

This is a good way to cooperate!

In other words, they don’t need to consider complex construction, production, and sales issues and just take half of the profits for free?

Sounds very tempting.

But since it was a bargain, Charlie Iris still frowned: "Half of the profit is still a little too little. You have to know that if we buy the formula, our family can get 100% of the profit!"

"Your Majesty the King, half of the profit is actually quite a lot." Sean patiently explained:

“First, these products are very popular, and only we have the formula. If you want to buy the formula, you need to pay a huge amount of gold coins, and there is a risk that the formula will be leaked and you will lose everything after you return home;

Second, it seems that your family can only get 50% of the net profit, but in fact it is far more than 50%!

Think about it, the production and sales of goods in the Kingdom of Anjou are subject to taxes. Don't these taxes also belong to the royal family? If the tax rate is 10%, you will be equivalent to gaining 10% more profit.

Moreover, the factory will definitely recruit a large number of workers, and the wages received by these workers will also be consumed in your country, and eventually fall directly or indirectly into your pocket.

Calculating this way, you can get at least 70% of the income!

We only get 30%, and we also have to worry about production, management, and sales. This is really an extremely generous condition!"

After hearing Sean's explanation, Charlie Iris couldn't help but nodded slightly.

There is no loophole in Sean's words. Indeed, the royal family can gain huge benefits from this transaction, and it also avoids all the troubles of purchasing the sky-high price formula and leaking the formula.

So Charlie Iris stood up and extended his hand to Sean: "Brother Sean, happy cooperation!"

"Brother..."

Sean couldn't help wiping his sweat. Is it appropriate for you, an old guy who is over a hundred years old, to be my teenage brother-in-law?

But now that the other party has expressed his position, Sean also stood up and shook hands with Charlie Iris: "Brother Charlie, I wish our two joint factories have a good future!"

.

.

Now that the business cooperation has been initially negotiated, Charlie Iris is in a happy mood.

After a long period of grilling, the grilled fish became golden on both sides and exuded an attractive aroma. When the fish was cooked, he immediately took a bite.

What Sean used was the famous Margaree River specialty fish, and Kate said it was good after eating it.

So after eating it, Charlie Iris was full of praise: "This kind of fish has delicate meat and no spines. It is a top-quality freshwater fish."

And this grilling technique is also very good, and it’s the best among the grilled fish I’ve ever eaten!”

He continued to smile and said: "If the Shancha family knew that you had such a good skill at grilling fish, I'm afraid they would have bought it from you at a high price!"

When Charlie Iris mentioned the Camellia family, Sean had to interject:

"Your Majesty the King, do you have any thoughts about the declining Shancha family?"

"Any ideas?" Charlie Iris was eating grilled fish and thinking as he said, "Of course there are ideas, but we are still waiting for the opportunity."

"What opportunity are you waiting for?" Sean asked cautiously.

Charlie Iris thought about it and didn’t hide much:

"You may not know this. Just a few days ago, Alexander Lane took Prome Shancha, who had completely lost his mind under the attack of the inner demon, and plunged into the 'Black Dragon Abyss Secret Realm'."

Sean didn't react much when he heard the term "Black Dragon Abyss Secret Realm" because he had never heard of it.

Khadgar, who was sitting nearby grilling chicken wings, had a huge mood swing:

"The 'Secret Realm of the Black Dragon Abyss'?! Is that the secret realm where the legendary black dragon is hidden?!"

"Khadgar, do you know this secret realm? Tell me about it!"

Sean's attention immediately focused, because the three words "Legendary Realm" meant that the situation was not simple.

Before Khadgar could speak, Charlie Iris had already spoken in advance:

"Let me tell you, this little friend's understanding of the 'Secret Realm of the Black Dragon Abyss' probably comes from books, and he doesn't know as much as I do."

"Well, Your Majesty the King, you will tell me." Khadgar did not object.

Charlie Iris ate grilled fish and described the internal situation of the "Black Dragon Abyss Secret Realm" to Sean and the three of them as if telling a story.

Just as Khadgar said, there is a legendary black dragon lurking inside the secret realm, but this black dragon is sealed there by great power.

Hidden deep in this secret realm is Black Dragon's lifetime treasure, countless gold and silver treasures, holy-level magic crystals, and high-level artifacts all over the place.

But if you want to obtain these things, you must defeat the black dragon.

And after entering the secret realm, you will 100% be attacked by the black dragon.
