Chapter 533: Handling
In the grand hall meant for receiving distinguished guests, a Tier Two Legend sat leisurely in a chair, crossing his legs as he spoke unhurriedly. "Lord Qi, do you have a problem with us? We had an agreement when we installed the Planetarium Control System for your Gaian cities. Now, you refuse to acknowledge it. If this matter reaches the Candle Light Alliance, our Kazan Civilization will still be in the right."
Qi Yan replied, "Mr. Zhuo Ri, it's not that we refuse to acknowledge it, but... your final price is far too excessive. We can put the Planetarium Control System aside since it's only twenty percent above market price and is still within a reasonable premium.
"However... just one Control Platform costs over a million Secondary Cosmic Currency. A single lamp alone costs over thirteen thousand... When converted to Gaian currency, that amounts to 130 million... The flooring alone costs 360 million in our currency... And the emblem on the Control Platform, 1.68 billion... The prices are far too high."
"You don't understand. Our chandeliers use advanced quantum technology. Not only do they provide illumination, but they also enhance mental spirit and improve mood, making people feel happier. As for the floor tiles, we use top-quality imported materials. 36,000 is already a discounted price, in consideration of our relationship. As for the Control Platform's emblem...."
Zhuo Ri spread out his hands. "That is our company's spiritual symbol. It is handcrafted. A powerful cultivator from our homeland consecrated the materials. 1.68 billion is absolutely a fair price!"
After speaking, Zhuo Ri leaned forward. "What? Do you think it's not worth this price? Are you trying to get away without paying after the job is done, or are you insulting our company's spiritual symbol?"
Qi Yan hurriedly waved his hands. "No... We absolutely do not mean that..."
"Then make the payment." Zhuo Ri sneered. "The project funds have been delayed for so long. Our people won't sit still much longer. If some commotion happens and damages are caused, don't say I didn't warn you. Besides, they just want their hard-earned money back so they can return home as soon as possible. I can't possibly stop them, can I?"
After speaking, he leaned back into his chair again, watching Qi Yan with amusement. He had an expression of absolute confidence.
To be precise... Zhuo Ri was sure that he had control of the negotiations with the Gaian Civilization. After all, Hong Feng was the one orchestrating this matter to put pressure on Gaia. He was a genius who had already reached the peak of Tier Two Legend.
Moreover, they weren't the only ones doing this. Many other civilizations that invested in Hong Feng were also doing similar acts. Over a dozen civilizations were involved in restricting trade, transportation, technology, as well as every aspect concerning the Gaian Civilization.
