Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 197 - A 30/70 split? Do you expect me, Qian Lingyun, to be subservient to others?

Qian Lingyun animatedly sketched out her grand vision.

Of course, she was only responsible for providing the initial funding and channels; the rest was up to Shangguan Weier.

"Then I need to contact the investors, get them to invest money, and then give them a share of the profits to build up a base so we can expand..."

Before Shangguan Wei'er could finish speaking, Qian Lingyun impatiently interrupted her: "What did you say?"

"Contact the financial backer and get them to provide the funds..." Shangguan Wei'er paused for a moment, clearly hesitant, but she still dutifully repeated the sentence.

"Not this sentence, I'm referring to the sentence after this one."

"Give them a cut of the profits?" Shangguan Wei'er asked tentatively.

"What percentage?" Qian Lingyun stared intently at Shangguan Weier and asked through gritted teeth.

"Splitting it 30/70."

"Thirty percent, that thirty percent goes to that bunch of useless, point-and-click pigs..."

Upon learning this astonishing number, Qian Lingyun couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"What?! We take 30%, the Sun and Moon Nobles take 70%, and we even have to return all the money they paid before," Shangguan Wei'er said with a wry smile, lamenting, "Even for that 30%, we have to be mindful of their attitude!"

"Then wouldn't I, Qian Lingyun, become a beggar on my knees?" Qian Lingyun slammed her hand on the table angrily, picked up her wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp!

"If you put it that way, it's true!" Shangguan Wei'er nodded frankly, continuing to stir things up:

"Besides, I've been begging on my knees for decades, and even then, many people want to kneel but don't have the opportunity!"

"I have this, can I make money from it?"

As she spoke, Qian Lingyun laid out the plan she had devised.

"Yes, kneel down!" Shangguan Wei'er replied.

"If I have this, can I make money from it?" Qian Lingyun then put on the black robe of the Holy Spirit Sect.

"Yes, but... it shouldn't be in Mingdu?" Shangguan Weier replied again.

"If I combine the two, can I make money standing up in the Sun Moon Empire?"

"May I ask your honorable name?" Shangguan Wei'er asked, her voice trembling with fear.

"The Holy Spirit Cult's First Lady, and the next leader!"

"With the Holy Spirit Cult backing us, we're fine!" Shangguan Wei'er nodded and asked softly, "How much support can you get from the Holy Spirit Cult?"

"Not being able to get it was my own decision..."

"Alright, I'll be frank. To complete your plan, even if there are channels, money is still needed to pave the way. Although my Ordinary Alliance can provide the funds..."

"But, according to your requirements... it can't attract the attention of my sugar daddies. How much money can you offer?" Shangguan Wei'er asked.

"I'm rather poor, I probably only have two or three hundred million in cash on hand..." Qian Lingyun sighed and casually took out gold vouchers and gold cards worth 250 million!

"You call this poor? Do you want to hear what you're saying?" Shangguan Wei'er was so angry she laughed. She slammed her hand on the table and roared, "This is more than a hundred million more than my personal net worth! And you call this poor?"

"From what you're saying... everything's fine, right?"

"Absolutely no problem. As long as you give me the Xishui Alliance's channels, along with your and my hundreds of millions of funds, I can responsibly tell you that even a mouse drinking cat milk can change your fortune!" Shangguan Wei'er put away the money, then happily took out paper and pen and listed out the points for Qian Lingyun one by one.

"It takes that long?" Qian Lingyun picked up the paper, glanced at it, and her expression changed. "The first batch of goods will take ten years to complete?"

"It takes at least ten years for a soul beast to grow to maturity. Do you have any way to make a soul beast grow faster?" Shangguan Wei'er glanced at Qian Lingyun with some surprise, thinking to herself: Isn't it common knowledge that soul beasts take ten years to grow to maturity?

"Make the soul beast grow quickly..." Qian Lingyun frowned and pondered for a moment, a golden figure vaguely appearing in her mind.

"Our Ordinary Alliance has a limited number of Soul Masters. With your... no, with the power behind us, capturing a thousand or eight hundred Soul Beasts that can spit silk shouldn't be difficult!" Shangguan Wei'er calculated her gains, casually placing her pen on the table and listing them:

"Based on my own experience, the silk of the Arctic silkworm is better for making white silk and nightgowns and lingerie, while the silk of the obsidian spider is better for making black silk and sexy lingerie."

"The skins of the white-skinned crocodile and the golden-striped boa can be used to make leather clothing and bags..."

"Leather jacket and bag? Sounds nice, but... are the latter two types of spirit beasts easy to raise?" Qian Lingyun asked again.

"I've never raised one, but I remember An Litong did, though... he was killed by Nangong Wan..."

At this point, Shangguan Wei'er's expression was still somewhat disappointed. How could such a good soul beast keeper die like that? What a pity!

"It doesn't matter. If all else fails, we can just hire them. A generous reward will surely attract brave men!"

As she spoke, Qian Lingyun tossed out another twenty million, raising an eyebrow and saying, "As for the venue and labor, you can find someone to take care of that. Tomorrow I'll take you back to the Hall of Worship to make a record. Then you can lead people to capture soul beasts."

"With so many carnivorous spirit beasts, their annual food intake must be enormous! We still need to find meat suppliers..."

"Why waste that extra money? Let's open another slaughterhouse and raise those fast-growing soft-boned rabbits that are everywhere!" Qian Lingyun blurted out unexpectedly.

"Soft Bone Rabbit? Raising that kind of low-level soul beast? That probably won't make money!" Shangguan Wei'er hesitated for a while, did a simple mental calculation of the economic benefits of the Soft Bone Rabbit, and couldn't help but shake her head.

"How could it not be profitable? It's practically a sure-fire way to make money!" Qian Lingyun explained to Shangguan Weier, counting on her fingers:

"The Soft-Boned Rabbit reaches adulthood at four months, can reproduce at six months, and gives birth to a litter every two months."

"We can also eat Blue Silver Grass. This wretched grass grows on its own, so we can just buy it for a small amount of money!"

"Furthermore, we raise the soft-boned rabbits for ten years, and their droppings can be used as fertilizer to grow blue silver grass."

"The meat can be fed to soul beasts, the bones can be used as fertilizer, the soul rings can be sold, and killing enough to kill a hundred can even allow you to forge a secret technique soul bone..."

"My God, you're really ruthless. From birth to death, from fur to bones, you've made full use of these rabbits." Shangguan Wei'er's lips twitched, silently lighting a candle in her heart for the Soft-Boned Rabbit species...

"No, don't misunderstand, this is just making use of waste. I absolutely have 'no' personal grudge against this race, not even the 'tiniest' one."

"Given your behavior, I simply don't believe what you're saying..." Shangguan Wei'er muttered, continuing the discussion to the next topic:

"According to your plan, we want to open our shops throughout the entire Douluo Continent. In that case, the cost of purchasing fixed properties in all medium-sized and above cities alone would be a huge sum of money..."

"This isn't a problem, it can be solved..." Qian Lingyun's eyes darted around, and a highly profitable idea popped into her mind.

Shangguan Wei'er squinted at Qian Lingyun's subtle facial expressions, instinctively feeling that this woman was definitely up to something, and asked, "What strange idea do you have now?"

"Don't ask, it's a secret!" Qian Lingyun raised her hand as if to shush, thinking to herself: It seems that I will soon be going to stage a secret visit. Since you, Zhongli Wu, won't let me use an alias, I will just poach my own people and see who can outmaneuver whom!

Rabbits typically reach adulthood in 4 months, but it is not advisable to breed them immediately at this time, as mating at this stage can easily cause premature birth and dystocia in the female rabbit. It is generally recommended that rabbits be bred around 6 months old.

兔子1-2个月繁殖一次好，一只母兔繁殖周期是44-48天，也就是从配种后30天的孕期，到生产后14天到18天的时候再次配种，这样的话兔子的一个繁殖周期就在44-48天左右。）
