Chapter 224: Additional Conditions (1/2)

“Absolutely impossible! Fifty percent is too high! The headquarters will not agree to it. To host a bet, we will need the funding from the headquarters. And when applying for funding, we won’t be able to avoid the auditing process of the headquarters. They will never agree to a fifty-fifty share.” Zhuang Ming had an intense reaction toward the proposal.

“Funding application? If that is actually necessary, I would have left with the four trillion instead of sitting here talking to you.” Bai Xiaofei sneered and exposed Zhuang Ming’s lie.

The Babel Merchant House branches would normally operate independently. When a branch encountered a large sum of money, they would do what the Starnet Academy branch had done this time: either make a large profit for themselves or pay out of their own pocket for the losses to avoid trouble from the headquarters. However, the betting receipts of Babel Merchant House could be redeemed at all branches. That was also why Zhuang Ming and co were so afraid that Bai Xiaofei would go straight to the headquarters with the receipt.

“No matter what, fifty-fifty share is too high!” Zhuang Ming clenched his teeth and stood his ground even though he was currently in dire straits.

“Well, it is what it is. Fifty-fifty is my bottom line. If you can’t accept that, we won’t be able to work together.”

What Zhuang Ming feared most had arrived! Bai Xiaofei was grabbing tightly on his weakness! Lounging there leisurely, Bai Xiaofei passed some Crystal’s Longings to his companions before he started eating one himself. As for Zhuang Ming, he sank into a long contemplation. Ultimately, he conceded.

“Ok! Fifty-fifty it is! But if additional funding is required during our course of business, you have to help pay for it!” Zhuang Ming compromised after the initial senseless struggle.

“Deal!” Bai Xiaofei completely ignored the request that he had to pay if there was a lack of funds. The possibility of that happening was too low.

There was a saying that out of ten bets, nine were losing bets. But that only applied to gamblers, not the gambling dens. Instead, it was the other way around for the gambling dens.

“I will give you a detailed plan in the future. But before that, I have a few additional conditions. If you can agree to them, I will nullify seventy billion you still owe me.”

Zhuang Ming’s eyes went wide. “Seventy billion?”

“Why? You can’t be thinking that I will give up on the seventy billion just because we are going to work together, right? Do I look like the kind of person who would do something like that?” Bai Xiaofei said and sneered while looking at Zhuang Ming as if he was looking at a fool.

“Fine. Say it!” Zhuang Ming said through clenched teeth. From his expression, it was as if he wanted to swallow Bai Xiaofei whole.

“Relax. Deputy President Zhuang, my conditions are very reasonable. In fact, they are nothing difficult for you,” Bai Xiaofei said leisurely, but Zhuang Ming did not believe a single word.

Do you think I’m stupid?

“Firstly, I’m addicted to these Crystal’s Longings. If I guessed right, you guys will receive a certain amount of them each month, right? I am not greedy. For my remaining time in the academy, just supply me with fifty of them each month.”

Everyone was stunned. Nobody had expected that this would be Bai Xiaofei’s first request.

“Fifty? Do you think this is some cabbage that you can get as many as you want? We are only allocated thirty-five each month!” Zhuang Ming yelled at the top of his lungs, but right after those words left his mouth, he felt that something was off.
