"We believe in your strength and your business methods!" said Gu Liangjun.

Huo Ling shook his head and said, "How much do you want for the shares of Pingyuan City?"

"We want to use 4 billion to exchange for 20% of the shares of Pingyuan." Gu Liangjun spit out a number.

After hearing this, Huo Ling couldn't help laughing.

He said, "This is really a lion's mouth. This number is not appropriate. Say it again."

In Huo Ling's mind, he did not have high requirements for the shares of Pingyuan City, nor did he want to completely control this spiritual city.

This is the case everywhere. Cooperation can win-win.

Huo Ling needs the investment of magic stones and resources from these nobles and powerful people. This is certain. He also needs a lot of things.

He needs the human connections, information, and resources of these powerful families.

The most stable alliance relationship cannot be satisfied by a simple marriage.

For these big families, only mutual interests can be the most stable alliance relationship.

Huo Ling's road to power does not require enemies everywhere. What he needs is friends everywhere.

The more friends he has and the fewer enemies he has, the smoother his path to becoming a powerful person will be.

He can sell a portion of the shares of Plain City, which is already in his plan.

Gu Liangjun took a deep breath. He did ask for a high price. He was still waiting for Huo Ling to bargain, but he didn't expect Huo Ling to kick the ball back to him.

Huo Ling didn't want to bargain with Gu Liangjun. If he couldn't quote a number that Huo Ling thought was appropriate, he wouldn't cooperate.

As a legendary wizard, a legendary wizard who was about to own a wizard tower, Huo Ling had the confidence.

"Sir, 4 billion in exchange for 14% of the shares of Plain City!" Gu Liangjun quoted a number again.

"Not appropriate, quote again... You still have one last chance to quote."

Huo Ling shook his head and then walked forward slowly.

Gu Liangjun felt the pressure increase instantly after hearing Huo Ling's words. This was not the pressure released by Huo Ling, but the pressure in his heart.

If he couldn't offer a suitable price, Gu Liangjun didn't know whether Huo Ling would not give the Gu family such a cooperation opportunity.

And cooperating with Huo Ling was a plan made by the Gu family a long time ago. If it failed and the Gu family lost this opportunity, then Gu Liangjun would undoubtedly become the sinner of the family.

Sweat seeped out of Gu Liangjun's face, dripping down his face.

His former intelligence seemed insignificant at this moment. Now Huo Ling didn't listen to anything he said, just quoted a price.

And Gu Liangjun didn't have any chance to go against Huo Ling's will. For Gu Liangjun, it was really a tormenting negotiation.

Finally, after thinking for a while, he said in a dry voice: "Lord Huo Ling, our Gu family will use 4 billion to exchange for 9% of the shares of Pingyuan City."

Before coming, Gu Liangjun had already obtained the bottom line of this investment from Gu Zhengyuan, at least 10% of the shares of Pingyuan City.

But when facing Huo Ling, he still couldn't control himself, and lowered a point after thinking.

After hearing Gu Liangjun's offer, Huo Ling did not say anything for the time being. He walked to the outer layer of the Mage Tower under construction and stood on a high place overlooking the entire urban area of ​​​​Plain City.

"What a great city! In the future, it will become a more prosperous city than Xinnan City."

"I will give you Gu's family 8% of the shares, but it requires an investment of 5 billion magic stones."

Huo Ling looked at the scene in the distance and suddenly said.

"What!" Gu Liangjun was horrified and couldn't help but screamed.

This offer was much lower than their expected bottom line. Not to mention the fewer shares, even the investment was 1 billion more.

"Sir, this..." Gu Liangjun wanted to say something.

Huo Ling turned his head to look at him and swallowed back the words that were about to come to his mouth.

"If you can't make a decision, then go back and discuss it with Lord Gu. This is my bottom line. No matter which company comes, the price is the same, and the more you invest in the future, the fewer shares you will have."

"Okay, go back." Huo Ling saw that Gu Liangjun couldn't make a decision, so he waved his hand.

Gu Liangjun looked at Huo Ling's back, took a deep breath, and prepared to return to Blue Star to report before making a decision.

Indeed, as Huo Ling said, he no longer has the power to decide on this matter.

Before walking out of the construction site of the Mage Tower, Gu Liangjun saw an elder of the Zhao family, led by an official from Pingyuan City, heading towards the Mage Tower.

At this moment, Gu Liangjun put away his frowning expression, turned it into a satisfied smile, and walked out of the construction site.Go out.

At the door, he also greeted the elders of the Zhao family warmly before leaving.

After leaving, Gu Liangjun came directly to the portal without stopping. After paying a sum of magic stones, the portal opened for him to return to Blue Star.

...

In the following period of time, Huo Ling was like a tightened spring, continuously receiving envoys from various families.

These envoys all had a unified purpose, which was to invest in Huo Ling and exchange a certain amount of shares in Plain City from him.

Some envoys left with a satisfied smile, they got what they expected.

Some were full of bitterness, their predetermined goals were not achieved.

But almost everyone, at the moment they left Huo Ling, had a satisfied expression on their faces.

One family after another came, and contracts were signed in Huo Ling's hands. A sum of resources and magic stones passed through the portal and continuously entered Huo Ling's territory and Plain City.

Huo Ling's Mage Tower is rising at a faster speed. With the addition of these resources, the Mage Tower that Huo Ling built this time is no longer limited to one floor.

The funds raised this time are enough for Huo Ling to build another three-story Mage Tower and improve the defensive rune array of the entire Plain City.

Huo Ling actually didn't want to complete this step so quickly, but he couldn't resist the requirements of various investors.

This time Huo Ling gave 7% to 8% of the shares to the Gu family, the Zhao family, and the Ren family respectively.

In total, he gave 35% of the shares of Plain City. After deducting these three legendary families, the remaining shares were distributed to other noble and powerful families.

This time is a model of win-win for both parties. Huo Ling gained a large amount of cash flow, which can be used to build the Mage Tower, and other families also gained a Plain City like a treasure pot.

Although they invested more resources this time, these resources are usually piled up in the family's secret library. If they don't invest in Huo Ling, these resources will be left in vain.
