Zone Zero: I'm invincible now that the heavenly fire has killed Nineveh!

Inside the Rabbit House, Hitler, the executive director of the Du Group, sat facing Su Chen.

Nicole, Ambition, Billy, and Barr sat in a row on the side, watching Su Chen's movements with curiosity.

Hitler held a water glass, rubbing it repeatedly in his hand, carefully considering his words to Lowen.

As a businessman by nature, he wanted to use his resources to gain as much profit as possible.

As the weaker party, he also had to consider Su Chen's strength as an ACE investigator.

Finding a balance between these two aspects is not a simple matter.

The competitors outside the door made it even more difficult for him to weigh his options.

"Mr. Hitler, how much longer do you need to think about it? If you really can't decide, please let the people behind you in."

Su Chen looked at the hesitant Hitler and grew somewhat impatient.

He was originally someone whose name sounded like that of an old friend, but now it seems that Hitler did not have the same charisma.

Hitler chuckled, already poised to act: "Mr. Su Chen, our Du Group is willing to take full responsibility for the mining and subsequent sales of the cavern resources, and the net profits will be split 50/50 with you."

His expectation is 64 points, and his bottom line is 46 points.

Originally, the negotiations should have started at 70/30, but considering there were so many people outside, he started the negotiations directly at 50/50.

For a newly recruited ACE investigator, a 50/50 score is already an extremely high starting point.

"Hmm." Su Chen nodded gently. "And then?"

“If you’re not satisfied, we can lower the price a bit more, how about 45%?” Hitler said cautiously. “We welcome your supervision throughout the process and consider you the most honored friend of the Du Group.”

Giving up even half a percent of a completely hollow profit is already a great show of sincerity.

"Oh, you can go now."

Su Chen immediately told him to leave.

He knew there was still room for improvement, but there was no need to waste time arguing with this person; there were plenty of other people waiting outside.

The Du Group representative started the negotiation at 50/50, which suggests that Baiqi Heavy Industry's offer of 30/70 is indeed a high price in the industry.

"Ah?" Hitler's expression changed, and he immediately tried to salvage the situation: "Mr. Su Chen, you may not know, but the Du Group is an expert in cavern mining and enjoys a high reputation in the industry..."

"No need to say anything more, next." Su Chen got up, opened the door, and called out to the outside, "Chenxing Group, come in."

Seeing Su Chen's attitude, Hitler could only wait outside with a somewhat unpleasant expression, thinking to himself: [How rude! Such a nouveau riche attitude. It's just wiping out an empty cave; the Du Group could easily do it even with all its might.]

Meanwhile, the representatives from Morningstar Group quickly entered the Rabbit House and began a new round of bidding.

Two minutes later, they were also asked to go outside and wait.

Then, one after another, representatives from non-TOPS financial groups were called in, and came out two or three minutes later with grim expressions.

The representatives from the Qiao Group, Sanmen Group, and Marsellal Group, along with other TOPS financial representatives, remained calm and showed no resentment at being stood up. On the contrary, their smiles grew brighter as time went on.

"Our group is willing to offer you 65% of the net profit, which is already the highest price in the industry. Please consider it carefully," said a representative of a large group.

Seeing the grim expressions on the faces of the other representatives from similarly ranked groups, he began to have doubts, which is why he suddenly revealed his trump card.

"Alright, please go outside."

Su Chen asked him to leave without hesitation and then called in the representative of the Qiao Group.

He had already seen the non-TOPS people, and 65% was the maximum sincerity they could offer, even if they had to grit their teeth.

Even after seeing so many people fail, these people did not increase their gains by even one point.

Next, let's see how TOPS performs.

"Lord Su Chen, it is a great honor to meet you."

When Migro, the representative of the Qiao Group, entered, he bowed deeply, showing far greater sincerity than the dozen or so people who had come before him.

“I am also honored to have the attention of TOPS Financial Alliance.” Su Chen replied with a smile, “I wonder what kind of sincerity Qiao Group intends to offer in exchange for this cooperation opportunity.”

“7% of the net profit. The Qiao Group will handle all the trivial and complicated matters, and in the end, you will receive 7% of the net profit,” Migro said with a bright smile.

"Seventy percent?" Su Chen said with some surprise, "Those who are not from TOPS Financial Alliance are not willing to give seventy percent. The Qiao Group is larger in scale, but I didn't expect them to ask for even less."

Migro explained with some pride, "To be honest, we learned about your sparring match with the Sky Division yesterday. Naturally, we should treat a Void Hunter-level expert with even greater courtesy."

"I see. Your information network is quite extensive."

Su Chen suddenly realized.

I never expected that the fight that happened in the Air Defense Section 6 yesterday at noon would be known to TOPS the very next day.

It seems that TOPS Finance and New Allito's official website are indeed closely connected.

"What are your thoughts on the issue of hollow cooperation?"

Migro asked with a smile.

"I'd like to know more about the situation."

Su Chen politely declined.

It's not good to make a decision halfway through without even meeting all the people.

“No problem, as you wish.” Migro showed no dissatisfaction, and then explained, “However, due to the internal contract, ‘our’ bargaining chips are all the same.”

'We' naturally refers to the entire TOPS Financial Alliance group.

A single Void Hunter can support a TOPS conglomerate, and the Three Gates, the Qiao family, Mather, and others all want to win them over.

However, according to the rules, all TOPS Financial Groups must stand on the same front, and no one can be excessively courted.

Of course, this is because the benefits are not big enough. If Su Chen had ownership of the Zero Void and possessed strength far exceeding that of the Void Hunter, then the rules of TOPS would definitely be rendered meaningless.

"I understand." Su Chen nodded gently. "However, they still need to meet with them."

Having said that, Migro bowed and withdrew.

People from the Sanmen Group and the Marsell Group entered the company one after another.

Just as Migloo said, the conditions they offered were exactly the same as those offered by the Joe Group, without the slightest difference.

at this time.

Only Kreida and Ben from Baiqi Heavy Industries remained outside the door; they had not yet been called in by Su Chen.

Watching the group representatives being called in and out one after another, with even the TOPS financial representatives not receiving any special treatment, Koleda couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Please come in, you two from Baiqi Heavy Industries."

Su Chen extended an invitation to the two of them.

Among such a large group of people, only those from Baiqi Heavy Industry and TOPS Finance offered him a 70% salary.

It seems the final collaborator will have to be chosen from among them.

"Here you are, Brother Su Chen, Brother."

Kreida suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and shouted out in utter shame.

Hon looked at Koreta with some pity; the usually arrogant president had to bow his head for the sake of cooperation.

It's worth noting that even when she was close to Grace, Kreida only called her "older sister" in private, not "older sister."

"Hmm?" Su Chen was somewhat surprised, then revealed a pleasant smile: "Come into the room quickly, little sister Corida, and this gentleman as well."

Although Kreta didn't seem to be that kind of person, he genuinely felt pleased to see the red-haired, arrogant loli doing what she didn't want to do but had to.

Kreta, my sister?

Upon hearing this title, Kreta felt as if ants were crawling all over her body, and she wished she could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground with her toes.

However, Su Chen's unusual attitude towards her made her feel that there was potential for cooperation.

Kroeta and Ben quickly entered through the gate, leaving a group of people outside with very interesting expressions.

[Hmm? Perhaps I should have called him Brother Su Chen before?]

Migloo, Hitler, and the others pondered with some hesitation.

If it's for a big job like cave mining, they're not incapable of being the younger brothers, even though Su Chen is much younger than them.
