God of Pets

Chapter 182 Venture Capital
On his way to capture the little flower demon, Chen Guan went out of the city's teleportation station once and contacted Duan Shulin, asking him to transfer a part of his money first, no matter how much he had.

"Brother Guan, is there any opportunity to make money? Take me with you. You can divide it however you want. I'm willing to accept it." Duan Shulin immediately smelled the scent of money.

"You may not make money. It's just a guess now. If I'm wrong, you may lose money, and you may lose everything. Think about it carefully." Chen Guan said.

"It's okay. If you lose, you lose. There is no business without risk, especially a business that makes a lot of money. Just take me with you. Now I can take out three million. One and a half million are yours, and the remaining one and a half million are my investment. If it succeeds, you can give me some of it. As for the rest of your money, we will divide it after I sell that unique pet for a good price." Duan Shulin didn't even ask Chen Guan what he was going to do, and directly transferred the money.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. This business is very risky and you may lose everything. If you guess wrong, you will lose everything. Are you sure you want to gamble?" Chen Guan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Duan Shulin to trust him so much.

"Bet." Duan Shulin answered with certainty.

"Didn't you say that businessmen don't gamble?" Chen Guan asked with a smile.

"It looks like a gamble, but it's not. I trust your abilities. I know what kind of person you are and what you can do. You won't cheat me. If I can make money, I'll make money. If I can't, that's a normal risk. So what I'm doing is called venture capital, and it's not strictly speaking a gamble. This is just one of my many investments. With venture capital, making money is a small probability, and losing money is the norm. Since I want to make a lot of money, I naturally have to bear the risk of losing money."

"That's a good point. Just don't blame me when you lose everything." Chen Guan laughed.

"No, let's just try to make some money, okay? It's hard for me to make money too." Duan Shulin's expression changed, and he quickly asked, "Is the risk really that big?"

"It's very big, but it's hard to say how big exactly. Anyway, I'm not too sure myself. It's still not too late for you to withdraw now." Chen Guan said.

"Are you kidding? I helped my family close a big deal when I was one, earned my first pot of gold when I was two, monopolized the kindergarten's lollipop business when I was three, and was selling raincoats in the desert when I was thirteen. Is there any business I wouldn't dare invest in? Feel free to spend your money, I'm determined to invest in this business... By the way, Brother Guan... what kind of business is this..."

"Acquire the little flower demon."

Duan Shulin nearly choked to death and asked in a strange tone, "Brother Guan, are the little flower demons you're talking about the ones in the Beimang Mountain Blessed Land that feed on peony pollen?"

"Yes, that's her."

"Then what is our purchase price?" Duan Shulin asked cautiously.

"20."

Duan Shulin gasped, "Brother Guan, your business is a bit wild. The little flower demon is worth no more than 10 yuan. If you buy it for 10, there will definitely be many people who are eager to sell it, and they can even get it for a few yuan. You're asking for 20, isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

"I don't have time to collect them slowly, so I have to be quick. Many people don't think it's worth it to make a special trip to sell them to me for a few dollars, but 20 dollars is enough for a family of three to have a good meal in an ordinary and decent restaurant, so they will come to sell them." Chen Guan said.

"That's true, but what do you plan to do with the little flower demon?" Duan Shulin muttered in his heart, not knowing what Chen Guan was trying to do. A secret spirit like the little flower demon was of no use except to perfume makers.

Moreover, even perfume makers don't like the little flower fairy very much. Although she has the skill of fragrant wind, the stench on her body will also affect the fragrance. Therefore, perfume makers generally don't use the little flower fairy. There are too many options for secret spirits with similar abilities to emit fragrance.

Although he couldn't figure out how the little flower demon could make money, and Chen Guan refused to say, Duan Shulin still decided to follow Chen Guan.

"Just collect them with peace of mind. Do you want me to help you collect them?" Duan Shulin said.

"No, I can collect them all by myself. Although flower demons are common, there aren't as many flower demon pets as you might imagine. Besides, this matter shouldn't be publicized, or there will be trouble. Just keep it between you and me, and don't let anyone know." Chen Guan was merely reminding Duan Shulin. Since Chen Guan had spoken out, he already had a plan for what to do if the news got out.

After getting the money, Chen Guan returned to the secret realm of Beimang Mountain and continued his journey to acquire the little flower demon.

"Brother, what are you going to do with the little flower demon?" A man squatted in front of Chen Guan's stall and asked with a smile.

In the past two or three days, I don’t know how many people have asked Chen Guan this question.

"Trade secret." Chen Guan said directly.

"So do you only accept ordinary little flower fairies, or do you also accept high-quality little flower fairies?" the man asked again.

"Take them all." Chen Guan didn't even raise his eyelids, thinking that it was another guy who was up to no good. There were quite a few people like him in the past two days, and none of them had a good result in the end.

"I have a unique little flower fairy here. What's your price?" the man asked again.

"A unique little flower demon?" Chen Guan raised his head and glanced at the man. He saw that the man was not very old, probably in his early twenties at most, and looked a little fat.

In this day and age, fat people are very scary.

Because of the secret practice, people have very good metabolism and generally cannot gain weight. The fat people we still see nowadays are generally those who have practiced some special secret method, which has caused the change in their body shape.

Such secret methods usually have something special. Even if the quality is not very high, there will be something special about them.

Seeing Chen Guan looking at him, the fat man still smiled and said, "Yes, it's a rare little flower demon. If you offer a suitable price, I can give it to you."

"I need to see its properties first before I can give you a price." Chen Guan thought for a moment and said, seeing that the fat man didn't seem to be here to inquire about anything.

He has collected more than 10,000 little flower monsters in the past two or three days. Not to mention unique ones, he has never seen even a rare one, and he has collected less than 20 of rare quality.

It is difficult for such a low-level secret spirit to produce such a high-quality alien.

The fat man summoned his little flower fairy, and it looked a little different from ordinary little flower fairies.

Ordinary flower fairies have fairy skirts in pink, emerald green, milky white, light yellow, dark purple, blue, etc., with peach blossom-like petals on the back that serve as wings. However, this flower fairy has a rare bright red fairy skirt.

It was bright red, elegant and graceful, with a velvet-like texture. The petals on the back were the same color and texture, making her look noble and elegant. If it weren't for the sores on her face and the foul smell, she would have been a very beautiful secret spirit.

Unfortunately, many abscesses formed on the exposed skin, and the smell was very unpleasant.

However, the color and texture of her fairy dress reminded Chen Guan of the fairy peony on Peony Mountain.
