Chapter 33: Returning Home
Chapter 33: Returning Home
Liu Changfeng left the hotel room, feeling content and satisfied. He would deliver the breeding fee and a high-potential carp to the breeder as promised.
When An Paozi saw Liu Changfeng leaving, he sighed and hesitated, "Qian, you..."
Li Qian smiled, "Go ahead, say what's on your mind."
"A Green Scaled Dragon with Overlord Fifth Rank potential is worth more than one hundred million, yet you're only charging one million in breeding fees," An Paozi said, puzzled.
Li Qian turned to An Paozi, "Don't worry, I'm not a pushover. If it weren't for Liu Changfeng, I would have charged according to the market rate."
"But he's different. After all, he saved both of us last night," Li Qian explained calmly. "Plus, he's from the Public Security Bureau, so helping him is also contributing to society."
An Paozi suddenly realized, "Now that I think about it, you do have a point. If we want to establish a breeding base, we can't avoid dealing with official institutions."
"It's not just about noble intentions. Building a good relationship with the Public Security Bureau is beneficial for us."
"Of course, the most important thing is that whether it's one million or one hundred million, it's a huge profit for me!" Li Qian agreed.
Soon, his tone turned to confusion, "By the way, when are we going to set up the breeding base?"
"It's not that we're setting up the breeding base. To be precise, my family is planning to establish or purchase a breeding base and then gift it to you!"
An Paozi's words surprised Li Qian, "Damn, An Paozi, don't say that. No reward without effort!"
"It's not a case of no reward without effort!" An Paozi laughed, "Didn't I promise to give you a Green Scaled Dragon? Moreover, in the future, if you want to monetize the beasts or other breeding results, you can choose to cooperate with the An family."
An Paozi spoke generously, "Gifting a breeding base to you is also an investment in you. Brother, don't doubt it; you deserve such an investment."
Upon hearing this, Li Qian fell into deep thought.
He wasn't doubting whether he deserved such an investment, but rather considering the pros and cons.
Cooperating with the An family might be a good choice.
The most important thing was that An Paozi understood boundaries, offering to gift a breeding base instead of asking for shares.
This indicated that they wouldn't interfere with the core interests of the breeding base.
As for monetizing the results, he would need to find partners anyway.
It didn't matter who he partnered with, at least he knew the An family well!
Most importantly, Li Qian also desired a breeding base of his own.
Not only could it satisfy his breeding needs, but it would also provide better work opportunities for his parents.
Although there were many benefits to the partnership, Li Qian didn't immediately agree due to the magnitude of the matter.
He planned to discuss it with his parents when he returned home.
He took the high-speed train back, sitting in the business class as usual, with the expenses covered by An Paozi.
Since they might collaborate in the future, taking a small advantage now didn't seem like a big deal.
Most importantly, An Paozi was his close friend, so there was no need to be overly calculative.
He could be more careful when breeding the Green Scaled Dragon for him.
Today is Monday, and Li Qian's parents have already gone to work, but he has returned home purely to rest and relax.
After all the events of last night, neither of them had a good night's sleep, so it was only natural that they would want to catch up on some sleep upon returning home.
Of course, this was just Li Qian's plan; as for An Paozi, the first thing he did after returning home was to contact his father, An Hou Nian, and his grandfather, An Tian You.
An Paozi inherited the sharp wit that has been passed down through three generations of the An family.
He was well aware that with Li Qian's demonstrated breeding abilities and future potential, a collaboration would undoubtedly be a golden opportunity for the An family.
How could he not be anxious!
"Dad, there's an urgent matter to discuss, please come back quickly!"
"Grandpa, there's an urgent matter to discuss, please come back quickly!"
An Paozi didn't directly reveal the nature of the matter over the phone.
Such a matter couldn't be explained clearly over the phone.
Whether it was An Hou Nian or An Tian You, they naturally wouldn't drop everything and rush home just because of An Paozi's vague words.
However, after hearing that it was a "matter of extreme urgency, concerning the family's future," they both chose to believe him and quickly returned home.
After all, he was their son and grandson, and although he sometimes seemed unreliable, An Hou Nian and An Tian You were well aware that their son and grandson were not foolish at heart. On the contrary, they had inherited their strengths and were quite clever.
When it came to important matters, they were never ambiguous.
Not long after, just as Li Qian had fallen into a deep sleep, An Hou Nian and An Tian You returned to the An family residence.
"What's the matter that's so urgent?" asked An Hou Nian as soon as he saw his son.
An Tian You also looked at his grandson with an inquiring gaze.
At this moment, both of their minds were filled with curiosity.
What could be so urgent that An Paozi used words like "extremely urgent" and "concerning the family's future"?
"Dad, Grandpa, you should remember Li Qian, right?" An Paozi didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
"Isn't he your classmate, the one you get along well with, Li Qian?" An Hou Nian thought for a moment and recalled Li Qian.
Because Li Qian had a good relationship with his son, and his son often mentioned him at home, he had some impression of him.
Of course, it was just a vague impression.
"Yesterday, we went to the neighboring Yun Lan City..."
"Do you know what he went there for?"
An Paozi didn't wait for An Hou Nian or An Tian You to respond and continued, "The following events may shatter your worldview, but I dare to guarantee with my identity papers that everything I say is absolutely true!"
Bang!
An Tian You smacked An Paozi on the head without hesitation.
What does it mean to guarantee with identity papers...
What's the difference between guaranteeing with your identity papers and guaranteeing with your father and grandfather?
Get out of here!
An Paozi rubbed his head, unbothered.
He smiled innocently and continued, "Yesterday, I went to Yunlan City with Qianzi to complete a breeding research project!"
Boom!
An Hou Nian didn't hold back and gave him a head bash.
"Stop beating around the bush and get to the point!"
"The thing is, when we arrived in Yunlan City..."
An Paozi didn't dare to waste any more words and quickly explained everything that happened the previous night in detail.
