Chapter 244: Chapter 151: Hope Village, How Dare They Do This - Part 2Indeed, when they heard that Hope Village had already cooperated with Bengela Town and it seemed to involve not just one or two instances, Morrison and the others realized that Hope Village, despite its small size, was not as easy to manipulate as they had thought. It made sense, too. Hope Village had dispatched several teams to different territories this time, probably fearing any single territory might gain control over them. Really clever! Additionally, this territory could be considered full of talent. Each team’s leader had managed to safely bring their soldiers back. Thinking about the soldiers’ performance on the way back, Morrison raised a question that had been overlooked. "If someone learns your recipe, what then?" Yun Juncai replied directly, "Actually, many residents in our territory know how to make these dishes, but not everyone can achieve the same result. The most important aspect is that each dish requires many ingredients, and those ingredients are the essence." Knowing the method was one thing, but without the specific ingredients, many could never replicate the dishes. He imagined other people in the Blue Star Territory might know, but few would foolishly reveal these details. Those who did understand, definitely kept it to themselves. Even if it were to happen in the future, the market that Hope Village had stabilized would have sufficient protection. Seeing Yun Juncai’s response, Morrison totally understood where his confidence came from and suppressed the greed that had arisen in his heart, "I can sign an exclusive management right with Barnes Village, too?" Locke, who had been listening to everything, couldn’t hold back any longer. His business wasn’t as large as Morrison’s, and he knew very well that selling ready-made food could make him a fortune, Especially within a territory’s market. Not just Locke, but several other merchant team leaders couldn’t wait any longer, now eager to see Yun Juncai’s reaction. However, they all felt a bit anxious inside. With several teams from the same territory, how were they going to divide the exclusive management rights? "It’s possible," Yun Juncai said, "but each product has different requirements, and you’ll need to discuss the specifics with the leaders." "Are these products personal?" Morrison interrupted to ask. "The territory owns half, and the rest is divided among various individuals, some portions held by one person, some by several," Yun Juncai explained directly to Morrison. At that moment, he truly understood Zhou Bai’s painstaking intentions. Sёarch* The NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In this world, only by relying on a territory’s reputation could one establish oneself. Otherwise, no matter how forward-thinking your ideas, they could be wiped clean in an instant. A thought flashed by, and Yun Juncai quickly refocused. "I have no problem," Locke quickly said, clarifying his stance. At this point, a leader from another merchant team in Barnes Village couldn’t keep quiet, "I also want the operating rights for Barnes Village. What happens if two people are interested?" His team was not inferior to Locke’s, and it shouldn’t be that Locke got the advantage first. After all, conducting business in a familiar territory versus an unfamiliar one was completely different. Who wouldn’t prefer the easier task? "We’ll have to discuss that among yourselves. For our territory, the greater the benefit you can bring us, the more likely we are to choose you. After all, since we’re talking about exclusive rights, we will only connect with one team," Yun Juncai stated unequivocally. As for under-the-table deals, he did not care; they were sufficient for official interactions with the territory. Understanding Yun Juncai’s stance, the others from the same territory started considering their options with their team leaders. After all, most of them were now "competitors"! Would they cooperate or fend for themselves? The only one who remained calm was Morrison. When it came to confidence, the others were mere novices compared to him! Getting the exclusive operating rights for a territory was easy; he wanted more. But this was not the time to discuss that; otherwise, he might indeed be making a wedding dress for someone else. "As for the specific products, I have already prepared the information." Saying this, Yun Juncai produced several sheepskin scrolls, "You can familiarize yourself with the details listed, and those interested can personally accompany you to discuss with the leaders." Then, Yun Juncai distributed his sheepskin scrolls. People quickly spread them out to review. Looking at the detailed data, Locke and the others were satisfied. "Thank you." Watching Yun Juncai like a fish in the water among the group, Li Xingteng and Cao Jingshan didn’t say anything; they just quietly listened, gleaning information they wanted. After the initial cooperation’s attitude stabilized, everyone once again immersed themselves in the enjoyment of delicacies. That meal concluded with both hosts and guests in high spirits. And after Locke, Morrison, and others finished the meal and left the store, they parted ways. At that moment, the people they had assigned to follow Zhou Bai’s team had already returned and were waiting outside for a long time, their expressions hinting they had important information. Seeing this, people exchanged brief greetings and then led their teams towards the tavern to gain more information about Hope Village from those assigned to gather intelligence. After all, unless something unexpected happened, they would not be leaving Hope Village shortly. Morrison was among them. When they reached the designated room, Morrison kept two confidants and the information-seeking person and started inquiring. "Captain, the village chief took us around much of the territory, shared detailed information, but I’m not sure if it’s... true?" Duru started speaking. He was Morrison’s capable Gan Jiang, normally enjoying a high status by Morrison’s side. But having seen some of the rules and regulations of Hope Village, even this steadfast supporter of Morrison was somewhat tempted. Because, what Hope Village could offer, Morrison, the boss, probably couldn’t. Morrison’s expression changed slightly, then he asked with interest, "What exactly did he say?" What was it that could make his own "Gan Jiang" waver? Listening, Duru sighed lightly and began describing things, bit by bit. These details successfully shifted Morrison from initial disinterest to disbelief. Hope Village, how dare they do this?
