Chapter 145: Su Ping, the Sponsored Company Founder!

Chapter 145: Su Ping, the Sponsored Company Founder!

"Dong Muchun, where are the Water Element Barriers from the Crescent Lake project of the Tianyun Real Estate?" Dong Mutian asked angrily in the office of the Tianyun Corporation in the evening.

Dong Muchun glanced at him indifferently, "The sale of the Water Element Barrier is a product of the Tianyun Material Company within the Tianyun Group. It has nothing to do with the real estate subsidiary. Naturally, if the Crescent Lake project wants to be launched, the real estate company will have to purchase it from Tianyun Materials."

"But..." Dong Mutian was indignant. Before he took over, where did all these rules come from? They were all part of the same group, so what if some material fees were overdue? The real estate company's profits were relatively slow, unlike the quick and lucrative business of selling resources and materials. However, it was a long-term business, and it was only natural for other subsidiaries to provide some support.

But after he took over, the situation had obviously become more complicated.

They were all subsidiaries of the same group, and now they had to pay first and receive the goods later? Even when collaborating with other companies, things weren't this strict.

However, it was clear that Dong Mutian had no choice. He quickly sat down and spoke in a soft voice, "Little Cloud, why bother? This is all for the family..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Dong Muchun's phone rang.

Dong Muchun didn't have the time to argue with him. She glanced at her phone.

"I have some other matters to attend to. If you're free, I won't keep you here any longer!" She said, picking up her phone and walking into the inner office.

"Hello? Su Ping!"

As Dong Muchun's figure disappeared, a hint of gloom flashed across Dong Mutian's eyes, but he was helpless.

He could only leave in frustration, his eyebrows slightly furrowed as he departed.

Su Ping?

Who was this?

Dong Muchun didn't pay attention to her brother's thoughts. Listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, the usually frosty Dong Queen showed a smile as bright as a blooming flower:

"Okay, okay, I'll be there right away. Wait for me there."

At the entrance of the Beast Tamer Association building.

Su Ping and Sun Chaoyu stood side by side.

"Are you sure you don't need your brother to send you off?"

"No, really. You should continue with your own matters. I've arranged for someone to pick me up!" Su Ping smiled, declining Sun Chaoyu's enthusiasm. However, Sun Chaoyu wasn't foolish enough to leave immediately. He could afford to wait for a short while.

"I'll accompany you for a bit. I really wonder how your mind works. This Wolf Heart, if it can be put into production, its gold-absorbing power might even surpass that of the Timber Wolf's Special Evolutionary Form!"

Sun Chaoyu opened his mouth to speak, but he hesitated. He wanted to propose further collaboration with Su Ping.

Unfortunately, he was self-aware. To quickly promote the Wolf Heart Mana Potion, he didn't need to consider distribution channels. The most important thing was that among beast pets, pet beasts of the canine species had the widest audience. Although he couldn't claim that they were the most popular, they were definitely among the top three.

It was easy to imagine just how massive the market for Wolf Heart would be.

Su Ping wasn't concerned about these matters. As he waited, a question that had been lingering in his mind all day finally found its way to his lips.

"Brother Sun, wasn't the father of Mu Cultivator's entrance and entered the diary of the Necromancer Cultivator that you gave me last time?"

Sun Chaoyu nodded, "That's right. It's Mu Yu, the Advanced Necromancer Cultivator. I never expected that after so many years, he would return from across the ocean."

"So, he's still alive? I thought..." Sun Chaoyu glanced at Su Ping and then whispered, "There's some taboo surrounding Mu Cultivator. It was said that he was a friend of Teacher Liu, but... you should have read about what happened later in that diary. Mu Cultivator used an illegal cultivation method and was eventually discovered and arrested."

"After his release, he contacted some spies from across the ocean and chose to leave our Dragon Nation, joining the other side where beast pet cultivation is more 'free'. I wonder what he's up to this time?"

Su Ping nodded, "So, Mu Cultivator..."

"Mu Hang himself isn't very fond of cultivating necromantic beast pets. He's completely different from his father."

Sun Chaoyu spoke with absolute certainty, showing his trust in his friend.

"By the way, didn't you mention researching that Origami Person last time? How's that going?"

Su Ping scratched his head, "There's been some progress!"

Sun Chaoyu pursed his lips and then looked at Su Ping with curiosity, "Su Ping, tell me honestly, have you already evolved the Origami Person?"

Su Ping was startled, but before he could respond, Sun Chaoyu continued, "Last time, you said you had some progress with the Timber Wolf. Now you're saying there's some progress with the Origami Person. Is your progress a little different from what I understand?"

Su Ping smiled helplessly and said, "This time, it's just a little progress, that's all."

It was indeed just a little progress. He had merely researched and discovered the race skill of the Origami Person, a skill that almost no one else had found, and based on this, the probability of completing the evolution was extremely high.

But after all, it hadn't evolved yet, right?

Sun Chao Ju didn't think much of it and nodded along.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Recently, Su Ping had been busy with the affairs of the Legion, so the Origami Person was probably just a whim of this smelly brat... right?

Standing at the entrance of the Beast Tamer Association's compound, finally, after more than ten minutes, a red sports car slowly approached from a distance.

Su Ping's gaze fixed on this thing.

The mechanical streamlined beauty was indeed impressive, and with the red color, it had an indescribable sense of wildness.

However, what surprised him was that the car stopped not far away, made a graceful turn at the intersection, and arrived in front of Su Ping. The car window rolled down, and Dong Muchun, wearing sunglasses, slightly lowered them, revealing her alluring eyes, which glanced at Su Ping squatting by the roadside.

"Get in!"

"Okay!"

Su Ping didn't pay attention to Sun Chao Ju, who stood by with a strange expression, and excitedly got into the car.

"Damn, no wonder he insisted on letting me pick him up; there's a good thing going on here? Goodness, a mechanical intelligent supercar? Has Su Ping been kept as a kept man?"

Sun Chao Ju shook his head, but his eyebrows furrowed slightly. The woman from earlier, although she was wearing sunglasses, but when she revealed her eyes, she looked somewhat familiar...

...

"You got a new car?"

Su Ping looked at the red mechanical sports car. "Is it made with a mechanical core?"

"Hmm..."

Dong Muchun didn't answer, merely humming softly.

"Does Tianyun still make these? I want one too!"

Su Ping exclaimed in admiration.

He still vividly remembered the Shadow Ultra of that old thing, Su Anyong.

However, Dong Muchun didn't elaborate on this and quickly asked, "We'll talk about that later. How's the Wolf Heart doing?"

Su Ping directly took out a small file bag from his chest.

Dong Muchun said softly, "Red King, enter the intelligent driving mode, destination: 'Linzhou City Wood Heart Cultivation Base'!"

Only then did she hurriedly take the file bag from Su Ping.

Inside was a certificate issued by the Jianghai Province Beast Tamer Association.

The certificate's content was also straightforward.

【After testing and verification by the Jianghai Province Beast Tamer Association, the 'Wolf Heart' Mana Potion formula has been proven to significantly enhance the absorption of Mana Potions and resources for Wolf-type Beasts, with an effect increase of 20% to 40%. No special adverse reactions have been observed, and it is hereby certified for production!】

In addition to this document, which was essentially an official endorsement for the product, there was another identical document.

【Application for patent of the 'Wolf Heart' Mana Potion formula. This formula is held by 'Su Ping', and anyone using it requires authorization from 'Mr. Su Ping'. Violators will be subject to Dragon Nation laws...】

Two proofs, one an official document endorsed by the Beast Tamer Association, and the other a patent for the Wolf Heart.

From now on, the Wolf Heart could be openly marketed, advertised, and made available for all users to try.

However, after seeing this, Dong Muchun was completely dumbfounded. She frowned and said, "Su Ping, I know you have a good relationship with the Beast Tamer Association, but this proof isn't issued like this. For Mana Potions, the efficacy cannot be arbitrarily exaggerated, or else..."

It was obvious that the 20% to 40% increase in absorption was too outrageous.

Dong Muchun initially thought that this was due to the influence of Liu Fu Hai, the vice president of the Beast Tamer Association, who had a good relationship with Su Ping, exaggerating the efficacy of the potion.

However, before she could finish her sentence, she saw Su Ping's calm gaze.

Dong Muchun swallowed her words and looked at Su Ping with a strange expression. "Is this real?"

"Nonsense! The efficacy varies depending on the attributes of the corresponding beast. The effects for Lightning and Fire attributes are relatively weaker. Aside from that, the effectiveness for pets above the Commander level will also be relatively lower, but the decrease will be at least around 20%...

However, Monarch and Emperor-level beasts have not been tested, so the effects may be even lower. If possible, you can try it later."

Dong Muchun blinked and then, with her keen senses, asked the next question, "What's the cost of the Wolf Heart?"

Su Ping replied, "Even without Wolf Tobacco, the cost is not high. Even if we need a large quantity of Wolf Tobacco, the expense won't be significant. However, the neutralizing resources required after merging with the Wolf Heart to prevent a decrease in the Wolf Beast's level will incur some costs."

Hundred Herbs Juice, Hollow Bamboo.

Su Ping thought for a moment and said, "The cost of one bottle is around 30,000."

Among the Mana Potions made from the Wood Heart, the most expensive ingredient was the tail needle of the Nectar Bee.

The other resources themselves weren't that expensive.

After some comprehensive consideration, a cost price of thirty thousand was relatively reasonable.

"Thirty thousand..."

Dong Muchun's eyes already began to sparkle with a radiant glow.

Thirty thousand...

Dong Muchun had already started calculating; with such an effective supplementary potion, not to mention thirty thousand, even at a price of one hundred and thirty thousand, there would still be buyers.

However, the value of retail purchases and wholesale production would undoubtedly differ.

Pricing required careful research.

The pricing range had to ensure substantial profits while also allowing ordinary Beast Tamers to afford the product.

But regardless of the pricing, Dong Muchun knew that she had discovered a golden goose.

Thus, Dong Muchun's eyes fixed intently on Su Ping, and she then pounced forward, planting a kiss on Su Ping's face.

Su Ping was stunned, looking at the excited Dong Muchun with a flushed face, and he was filled with indignation:

"What are you doing?!"

Dong Muchun looked at Su Ping, who resembled a wronged young bride, and laughed, "Why are you so shy? That Qin girl isn't here right now..."

"Pfft, what does this have to do with her?"

Su Ping wiped the lipstick mark and saliva from his face with a hint of disgust.

Dong Muchun didn't mind and continued to stare at Su Ping with sparkling eyes:

"When should we establish the company? You can have as much of the shares as you want."

Seeing Dong Muchun's excitement, Su Ping had reason to suspect that this woman had been waiting for him here.

"Tell me more."

"Fifty percent, how does that sound? You provide the formula, and I'll handle the initial investment, production, distribution channels, stocking, raw materials, labor, venue, and all other matters!"

It had to be said that Dong Muchun wasn't being greedy.

Fifty percent was for Su Ping's name and the Wolf Heart formula alone.

However, with just the formula, he wouldn't have to worry about anything else.

From certain perspectives, this was indeed a reliable arrangement, allowing Su Ping to continue being a hands-off manager.

But Su Ping still had some thoughts:

"I want sixty percent!"

Seeing Dong Muchun's slightly furrowed brows as she was about to speak, Su Ping added, "You don't need to say it; I understand your concerns. However, your forty percent stake will also have administrative rights over my shares, without any dividends. Additionally, if I have future research that can be marketed, I'll also entrust the production to the company.

At that time, I won't demand additional equity! Moreover, with my connections, the Beast Tamer Association and Beast Tamer Associations will provide us with numerous order channels, so you won't need to waste too much effort!"

Upon hearing this, Dong Muchun pondered for a moment and then sighed helplessly:

"With the effectiveness of Wolf Heart, we won't have to worry about distribution channels..."

"You know that too, so there's no need to emphasize your contribution in this aspect. Moreover, even if we don't have to worry about distribution, can you get orders from the Legion?"

At these words, Dong Muchun's eyes lit up again, and she stared intently at Su Ping:

"Do you have a way to sell Wolf Heart to the Legion?"

The Legion was the real big spender!

Dong Muchun understood this better than anyone else; even if it meant slightly less money, the Legion had everything else—resources, pet beasts, and even some special privileges.

Establishing cooperation with the Legion would firmly establish this startup company, founded by the two of them, in Jianghai Province and even the Dragon Nation.

However, this was easier said than done.

Dong Muchun was more aware of this than anyone else.

The Legion rarely connected with outsiders.

Pet beast cultivation and resource allocation within the Legion had their own mature systems.

It was difficult for outsiders to intervene.

If Su Ping had the right connections, it would be a different story.

In fact, Su Ping couldn't guarantee a hundred percent success.

However, from the previous incident, he had already discerned some of the circumstances.

Due to the Legion's isolated cultivation system, separate from the outside world, corruption within had become severe.

For this reason, the Dragon Nation had to be extremely cautious about the Legion's dealings.

If Su Ping had the right connections, it would be a different story.

In fact, Su Ping couldn't guarantee a hundred percent success.

However, from the previous incident, he had already discerned some of the circumstances.

Because the Legion's cultivation was isolated from the outside world, with its own independent system, internal corruption had become severe.

Hence, the Dragon Nation had to be extremely cautious about the Legion's dealings.

If Su Ping could tap into these connections, it would be a different story.

In reality, Su Ping couldn't be entirely sure.

However, from the previous incident, he had already discerned some of the circumstances.

As the Legion's cultivation was independent and disconnected from the outside world, it had developed its own system, leading to severe internal corruption.

Therefore, establishing a connection with the Legion would be a significant challenge.

But Su Ping's commitment, along with the cooperation of the major Beast Tamer and Beast Tamer Associations, and the potential collaboration with the Legion, were all invaluable.

Upon careful consideration, Dong Muchun realized that perhaps the most precious condition among all these was Su Ping's promise not to demand additional equity for future research and inventions that would be sold through the company.

This might be the most crucial aspect.

After all, how old was Su Ping?

At such a young age, he had already achieved such a high level of cultivation and made such astonishing discoveries.

Who could predict what he might accomplish in the future?

"Accepted, accepted! That's too much to accept!"

Dong Muchun directly embraced Su Ping's shoulder and whispered softly into his ear:

"So, my dearest partner, how should I thank you?"

Su Ping didn't pay any attention to the woman with her sweet breath whispering by his ear. He reached out and touched the blood-red, metalized interior of the car, saying:

"I just said it, didn't I? Just get me a big toy like this, so I don't have to keep relying on you for rides."

Dong Muchun's face stiffened. Was her charm not as effective as this cold, hard metal?

At that moment, all her previous excitement vanished, and she shot Su Ping a glare:

"What kind of car do you want?"

"How about black? Black is cool! But not pure black..."

Su Ping didn't notice Dong Muchun's glare.

Su Ping said, and when it comes to negotiating with women, the most taboo thing is to show any signs of affection, as it might lead to unexpected changes.

Smart women know that at this point, it's better to ask for greater benefits.

So, at this moment, it's best not to have any romantic thoughts, even if you're tempted to make a move. It's better to choose the kind of woman who is more logical and less lovestruck.

"How much should we set the price for Wolf Heart?"

"You decide. You don't need to ask me about this. You should be able to find someone who has done extensive market research and can determine the maximum price for this product."

Su Ping waved his hand dismissively.

"So, you're really ready to be a hands-off boss?"

A hint of helplessness flashed across Dong Muchun's face, but deep down, she felt a surge of joy.

"Then, what should we name our company?"

"You decide!"

"Hmm... Let's call it Pingyun Company!"

Su Ping looked at the woman with suspicion. Did she not get a perfect score in the language section of her college entrance exam? Or is this how everyone names their companies?

Dong Muchun, with a sense of righteousness, said:

"Isn't this a good name? Pingyun, it means rising steadily and swiftly. Plus, it combines the names of both of us, the founders. Isn't that great?"

Su Ping couldn't help but agree.

After dropping Su Ping off at his home, Dong Muchun connected the car and left.

The woman claimed that she would settle the company registration, venue, and supply issues within a few days and get the factory up and running as soon as possible.

It was clear that for Dong Muchun, this was her true calling, a venture that held a completely different significance from her involvement with the Dong family.

Su Ping understood Dong Muchun's perspective and was quite satisfied with her. This woman had the skills, capabilities, and connections, and with the possession of the Spirit Beast Codex, there was potential for numerous research breakthroughs in the future.

Wolf Heart, even if it was just an improvement to the 'Heartwood' Mana Potion, along with the discovery of the unique properties of Wolf Tobacco, was just an additional bonus.

Not to mention the possibilities in the future.

He knew he didn't have the leisure or the talent to manage such an enterprise.

It's best to leave specialized tasks to the professionals.

At this thought, Su Ping subconsciously wiped his face again. That woman's mouth was a bit too loose with her words.

He realized he needed to be more cautious.

However, neither Dong Muchun, who had just left, nor Su Ping, who had reluctantly entered the Heartwood Cultivation Base, noticed a small mechanical intelligent supercar disguised as a hollow bamboo, watching them from a distance.

The supercar clearly captured the image of Su Ping getting out of Dong Muchun's car and Dong Muchun driving away.

At that moment, in the central area of Linzhou City.

Inside the Tianyun Corporation, in the office belonging to Dong Mutian.

Dong Mutian squinted his eyes, observing the scene before him.

He had sensed something amiss from Dong Muchun earlier.

Su Ping? This was clearly a man's name.

What kind of man could make his half-sister show such an expression?

A smile crept onto Dong Mutian's lips.

He had a feeling that something was amiss with the Tianyun Corporation recently.

And the Yun Tian Resort, with all the investment poured into it, was suddenly abandoned?

Although Dong Muchun considered Dong Mutian a good-for-nothing, even a useless person could see the accounts after taking over Heaven Cloud Real Estate.

However, at that time, Dong Mutian had always believed that Dong Muchun had some plan or scheme.

After all, in terms of business acumen, Dong Mutian had to admit that his half-sister from a different mother was quite talented.

But now, it seemed like things weren't as he had assumed.

"What's going on? So, the iron tree has finally bloomed. Dong Muchun, you've finally thought about men, and you're even keeping a little pet dog?"

At this thought, Dong Mutian felt like an opportunity had suddenly presented itself.

His eyes sparkled with excitement and ambition.

He picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, Dad..."
