Chapter 43
Frantically Making Money
If one wanted to take it out for consumption, there were too many tricks in this.
The simplest was to take a commission on purchases.
Find merchants to cooperate with, ask them to offer a certain discount, negotiate the price, and then buy their goods.
The merchants would return a certain percentage of the money to their group, usually ten to twenty percent of the total purchase amount!
The profit in this was simply too massive!
Therefore, Ke Yu was very invested in this matter—making money, after all!
The more budget the project group had, the more money could be made; everyone knew this logic.
"Mm, then report it like that," Guo Hao said quietly to Ke Yu.
"Alright!"
Ke Yu left excitedly.
Guo Hao sat in his office, his mind beginning to recall every detail of his confrontation with the Duke today.
He was pondering whether there was anywhere he had spoken incorrectly or acted wrongly.
After thinking it over, he determined there was no issue with what he did.
Guo Hao stopped thinking about the Duke and began to ponder the matter of the slave trading group.
Kassin and those minor slave traders had currently returned to the territory of the Yongheng Race. The reason they gave was that they were attacked by Star Beasts, their spaceship was damaged, and their energy bricks were lost on a large scale.
Their energy had also dropped to rock bottom. This time, the loss was extremely severe, and they needed repairs, after which they would find a completely new way to make a profit.
Guo Hao was pondering; perhaps he should contact Kassin and the others in an inconspicuous manner.
The current situation was not suitable for contact.
After all, Guo Hao himself had not cleared his suspicion yet. Suddenly contacting a slave trading group that had just encountered such an incident would in itself be enough to arouse suspicion.
Others were not fools, especially the Duke, who was an elite among elites. As long as he made any special move, the Duke would definitely keep a close eye on him!
Then he would reverse-investigate everything about the slave trading group, including their route, and might even trace it back to Earth. At that time, it would truly be a big trouble!
Guo Hao's arrangement was to first not contact Kassin and the others, letting these slave traders continue to train at the border a few times to make their experiences completely fade, at least so people wouldn't easily find Earth.
Afterward, slowly and quietly erase this Earth area route.
Next, they could contact Guo Hao, and then everything behind would become much simpler.
It was just a pity for this two billion Galaxy Coins!
If he could contact Kassin and the others a bit earlier, then this money could completely be earned by Kassin and the others!
No! Wait a minute!
Guo Hao's eyes suddenly lit up at this moment, a hint of excitement in his gaze.
There was still a way!
He was the owner of this project; whatever he wanted was completely up to him. For Kassin and the others, this was like an open-book exam!
For example, if he said he needed a certain type of slave, and they just happened to have them, they could then bargain along with a large crowd of other slave traders.
They could completely tell him that they would return a slightly higher percentage.
Then, just like that, they could quietly make money, and furthermore, establish a relationship with him, which would also lay the foundation for large-scale cooperation in the future.
His cooperation with Kassin and the others would not be surprising at all. Slowly, everyone would accept the fact that this slave trading group belonged to him.
Then he could increase cooperation and continuously make huge profits!
Guo Hao's eyes flickered with light.
This was actually a good idea.
The only fear was being noticed by the Duke!
Although he had been very careful, no one knew how the Duke would investigate him.
What if the Duke directly investigated all forces and characters who had contacted him?
Then what?
This probability was not nonexistent!
Guo Hao could feel that the Duke valued him. Sometimes, precisely because of valuing, such an investigation was even more likely.
Moreover, Guo Hao could feel that although on the surface the Duke seemed to believe his words, in reality...
He didn't completely believe him. At least, he felt that he was hiding something, just not sure what it was.
Thinking of this, Guo Hao sighed softly.
Truly troublesome!
It was still better to first let Kassin and the others resupply, go to other border areas of the Star Abyss, and first let the matter of them having visited that quiet zone of Earth slowly fade.
Use other places to supplement.
Thinking of this, Guo Hao took out a communicator from his chest.
This communicator was given to Guo Hao by Kassin.
It was a very advanced device. Although it could only send text messages, and a sent message required waiting several days to reach the target.
But this thing could cross province zones!
Even if it was at one end of the Milky Way, sending a message to the other side of the Milky Way, the opponent could clearly receive it, and because of the special quantum encryption system.
The message could not be intercepted, and the security was extremely good.
This was an essential item for experienced merchants in the Milky Way, with extremely high scientific and technological value. They utilized the loopholes of the three major civilizations and could pass through the covering basic information networks of the three major civilizations.
Then, traveling on their information highway, they could also conduct exchanges, which was why they had this capability.
Guo Hao sent a message to Kassin, then put the communicator away.
He still decided not to be too aggressive, taking it slowly, cooperating with several other merchants first, and then step by step transitioning to Kassin's group.
By then, Kassin would have almost completely cleared his connection to Earth.
His cooperation with Kassin wouldn't easily be traced back to any special connection.
Moreover, even if he completely missed out on this two billion project budget, it didn't matter. He would just earn his share and slowly wait.
It was a matter of time anyway.
Guo Hao was not anxious. For Guo Hao, safety was always the top priority; it had to be absolutely safe!
Ensure absolute safety!
The development of Earth was not a matter of one day and one night.
His family was the same, and these elite leaders were the same; they mostly used the eternal life potion, so basically there would be no changes.
Even if fifty or a hundred years passed, it actually didn't matter.
Once the resources were transported, in just about a hundred years, Earth would shine with a completely new light!
Of course, Guo Hao felt that it wouldn't take decades.
Perhaps in a dozen years, normal business could be conducted.
Having handled this matter, Guo Hao began to plan regarding the project experimental group.
The second day after designing the experiment.
Guo Hao and Ke Yu began to purchase experimental materials. Under Ke Yu's guidance, they bargained and also agreed on the commission.
According to Ke Yu, this kind of commission was reasonable. In fact, in the upper class of the empire, it was considered an open secret.
As for which merchant to cooperate with, it was completely up to Guo Hao's own preference.
