Zhou Yan accepted all offers and stated, "Since you all wish to become business partners with me, I will outline my conditions."
"Before that, I will send you a document containing a list of materials I require. It will include all sorts of materials, buildings, props, and scrolls. You can examine it first."
Zhou Yan sent the document to their phones. As they received and began reviewing it, their expressions shifted from astonishment to utter disbelief.
Naturally, there wasn't enough time for them to thoroughly examine the sheer volume of materials required. All they understood was that the quantity of materials Zhou Yan needed represented an astronomical figure.
"So much!" everyone exclaimed, gazing at Zhou Yan in shock.
Even with all their groups pooling their resources, it would be impossible to collect such an amount in a short period. Decades might not be enough to gather all the listed materials.
Some materials were simply too rare, making it impossible for them to procure them in large quantities.
The amount Zhou Yan alone required was equivalent to what many of their lord clients combined would need.
"Forgive my presumption, but how do you intend to conduct transactions with us?" someone inquired.
The order was simply too massive; even they could not possibly fulfill it alone, nor did they fear competition.
Precisely because the order was so colossal, it presented them with a significant opportunity for profit. As long as Zhou Yan could offer a satisfactory response, they would spare no effort in collecting materials and trading with him.
Zhou Yan stated directly, "Based on the materials you provide, settlement will be made on the spot. Whatever you supply to me, I will immediately settle the payment, without owing you a single cent."
"Furthermore, I do not accept advance payments. Your capacity will determine everything. As long as you can produce sufficient goods, I will have ample funds to conduct transactions with you."
Zhou Yan's response greatly satisfied them, even surprising them. How could they possibly refuse such a transaction method?
"Can I begin trading with you immediately then?" Huang Zheng asked.
"Certainly. You can add my territory as a friend, then teleport directly to me. The spirit coins will be transferred to you instantly," Zhou Yan replied.
"This is no small sum..." Ma Yun's implication was clear; he had some reservations about Zhou Yan's available capital.
"Then you can make a call and conduct a live transaction with me," Zhou Yan suggested.
"Given the urgency, our Qingtian Group is preparing materials valued at fifty trillion. We can trade with you shortly. Would it be convenient for us to add one of your lords as a friend for a direct transaction?" Qing Xue inquired.
"No problem." Zhou Yan nodded, asked for the other party's territory name, and then proactively added them as a friend.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Qingtian Company directly completed a transaction with Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan inspected the types and prices of the goods. Upon confirming everything was in order, he transferred the spirit coins to Qingtian Company.
After the transaction concluded, Qing Xue stated, "Our company has successfully completed the first transaction with Mr. Zhou Yan. Our headquarters has informed me that they wish to conduct a second transaction tomorrow. The value of our materials tomorrow will not be less than one hundred trillion spirit coins."
Zhou Yan nodded, "No problem. As long as you have the goods, I will always have the money ready."
Witnessing Qingtian Company successfully complete a massive order, the others couldn't wait any longer. They immediately approached Zhou Yan and said, "Could you give us an hour? We will send people to prepare a portion of the goods immediately."
"No problem. Let's all sit down and wait. Standing is quite tiring," Zhou Yan said.
"Very well, very well. Rest assured, our prices will be the same as Qingtian Company's, 5% below market price."
They immediately began calling their companies, sending them the material lists, and instructing them to prepare materials worth no less than fifty trillion.
As time passed, half an hour later, Ma Huateng of Tencent Group spoke first, "Our company has prepared materials worth one hundred trillion. Could you add my territory as a friend? I will trade with you directly from now on."
"No problem," Zhou Yan replied.
"My territory is called the Penguin Empire," Ma Huateng responded.
After adding each other, they proceeded with the transaction. A few minutes later, Zhou Yan inspected the other party's materials and then sent over one hundred trillion spirit coins.
Ma Huateng stood up and shook Zhou Yan's hand, "I would like to invite you to a meal. Tomorrow, I will prepare materials worth no less than two hundred trillion for you. Are you available?"
The way he addressed Zhou Yan had changed, indicating his high regard and respect. This was due to Zhou Yan's immense wealth.
"Why not invite everyone tomorrow?" Zhou Yan suggested.
"Certainly, certainly!"
"Of course, no problem."
"Mr. Zhou Yan, you are too kind. We will definitely attend."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Seeing that Zhou Yan could indeed produce such vast wealth without batting an eye truly astonished them.
Subsequently, others also engaged in transactions with Zhou Yan, some dealing with over a hundred trillion, others with tens of trillions.
After all these transactions were completed, they realized that Zhou Yan had already fulfilled orders exceeding ten quadrillion, and his appetite remained immense.
They were both shocked and impressed.
The scale of this undertaking was so enormous that they didn't need to compete. They only needed to provide sufficient goods to earn their respective rewards.
Everyone presented their company's top-tier VIP cards. With these cards, they could enjoy the highest level of treatment anywhere they went within their affiliated establishments.
Zhou Yan was now their veritable god of wealth, and how could they not try to befriend such a person?
They were very pleased to have participated in this business conference, having already secured a massive order and preparing for an even larger one.
After some time, a notable figure appeared: Li Cheng, the renowned richest man in Xiangcheng.
"Mr. Li." Upon seeing Li Cheng, the others showed him considerable respect. He was a man of immense wealth, and despite his questionable character, they would not offend him.
Zhou Yan's eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing this individual. This man was a traitor to his country.
Among the forces that had previously attacked him, some had been dispatched by Li Cheng.
This was because Li Cheng maintained close ties with the 'Never-Setting Sun Empire,' effectively acting as its ATM.
