Chapter 563: Chapter 261 Global Contractor Forces Gather in Huaxia [10,000 Words]_6
He knew all too well that this mine had a reserve capacity of twenty thousand tons, with a market value of around ten billion yuan.
However, that was only the market value; the sales volu of the Life Ore was not actually high, despite being able to mine twenty to thirty tons each day.
Due to the poor sales, the previous owner had them work on alternate days, fishing for two days and drying their nets for three. Even so, they had accumulated a few hundred tons of reserve.
Last ti, they sold everything in one go to the Treasure Tower, which continued to buy in large quantities. Thus, they mined another three hundred tons during this period.
The price they sold to Treasure Tower was two hundred thousand per ton.
When Mu Rufeng bought those two thousand tons of Life Ore at the Treasure Tower, the price was discounted, and the Treasure Tower still made huge profits, showing their high profit margins.
If they were to calculate commissions, it was naturally not based on the market price but on the sale price.
Twenty thousand tons amounted to two billion, and a 0.5% commission would be ten million.
Even if a hundred miners were hired later, each could earn an extra hundred thousand soul banknotes.
A miner’s pay was fixed, and even though the work was exhausting and required a certain level of strength, at least a Level 3 Mysterious, the standard was five thousand a month.
Later, Mu Rufeng increased their pay by fifty percent, so their salary went up to seven thousand five hundred. If all the ore was mined, it ant an average extra hundred thousand per person, nearly two years’ salary according to previous figures.
Moreover, the stronger the strength, the faster the mining speed. With his current Level 5 strength, if he also mined, he could earn at least three hundred thousand in commission, even more with hard work.
“Is that true, Mr. Mu?” a puzzled miner excitedly asked.
“Of course, it’s true. I want to mine all the ore as fast as possible,” Mu Rufeng said gravely.
“Mr. Mu, may I also go mining?” the eager miner quickly asked.
“Yes, but you must recruit the people needed first.”
“Alright, Mr. Mu, I’ll head to the talent market right now,” the excited miner said and hurried off.
“You’re driving, right? Good, drive to the Treasure Tower first. I need to purchase so Corpse Blood Fragrance,” Mu Rufeng said.
“Okay, Mr. Mu, please wait a mont while I fetch the car,” the miner responded and dashed off.
At that mont, a shadow appeared beside Mu Rufeng.
“Mr. Mu, may I also go mining?” the guardian of the place, a Level 7 Mysterious, asked.
“Given that you’re Level 7, aren’t you beyond worrying about money?” Mu Rufeng asked in surprise.
“Sigh, my wife squandered all my savings; I got so angry that I devoured her. Now I don’t have much money; earning a bit more could help,” said the guardian somberly.
Mu Rufeng looked at him sympathetically, then said, “Okay, you can go mine, and I’ll give you a commission of 1%.”
“Thank you, Mr. Mu,” said the guardian, a smile spreading across his face. He quickly left, not even returning to his residence but directly entering the mine to start working.
Despite the fact that the commissions amounted to over ten million and other expenses like salaries and food would total more, mining the ore more quickly was worth it.
A re ten million soul banknotes were trivial, especially considering Lu Chengfeng had gifted the mine.
Now, he also had to report back to Lu Chengfeng, who might give him even more gifts.
An old sedan pulled up in front of Mu Rufeng.
“Mr. Mu, please get in,” the driver called out through the rolled down window.
Mu Rufeng promptly pulled the rear car door open and sat down inside.
“Mr. Mu, please settle in.”
…
An hour later, Mu Rufeng arrived at the office branch of the Treasure Tower.
“Mr. Mu, did you ask to contact the Tower Master?” Sun Wu asked.
“Yes,” Mu Rufeng nodded.
“Okay, Mr. Mu, I’ll contact the Tower Master for you.”
Sun Wu imdiately contacted Lu Chengfeng using a special communication thod, which previously used a projection mode.
“Little Mu? Aren’t you back in the real world yet? Why are you contacting again?” Lu Chengfeng asked, puzzled.
“Mr. Sun, please prepare a thousand sticks of Corpse Blood Fragrance for . I’ll transfer the money to you soon,” Mu Rufeng said.
“Alright, Mr. Mu,” Sun Wu acknowledged and then left the room.
Soon after, the room was engulfed in black mist.
“I just ca from the real world,” Mu Rufeng said.
“Have you consulted the Ti Book already?”
“Yes, I have the answer you need,” Mu Rufeng nodded.
“Where is she? Is she still alive?” Lu Chengfeng’s voice trembled a bit.
Fifteen years ago, the pioneer of the Treasure Tower discovered a new Secret Silver Mine in the wilderness area.
The Secret Silver Mine, a highly valuable tal, had many obstructions and sold by weight, a thousand soul banknotes per pound.
His wife had been dispatched to oversee the Secret Silver Mine, anwhile clearing the wilderness area to establish a mining station.
The Cyst Comrcial Guild had sohow learned the news and also dispatched personnel to seize the Secret Silver Mine.
A fierce battle broke out; both sides even summoned branches and divisions for the fight.
However, two Ghost Emperors from the Cyst Comrcial Guild summoned two divisions, and Qing Ling, being outmatched, had intended to notify Lu Chengfeng.
But the space around her had beco warped, and being deep in the wilderness area, she was unable to get in touch.
In the end, she had to use a powerful item to forcibly leave the area and had been unheard from for the past fifteen years.
The Ti Book couldn’t be used, and Lu Chengfeng had tried other searching items, even Rule Items, but all were unsuccessful.
One Ghost Emperor would indeed be enough to use the Ti Book on, but when people exist, conflict is inevitable, and the Treasure Tower was no exception.
His arch-nesis had refused to let Lu Chengfeng use the Ti Book.
Even more, Lu Chengfeng suspected that the individual might have leaked information about the Secret Silver Mine, yet without evidence, he was helpless.
“Your wife Qing Ling should be alive.”
“She’s currently in the Forbidden Zone of the Ice Demon Clan, on level eighteen, number 001 of the Cold Ice Purgatory.”
“If she were dead, she wouldn’t be imprisoned,” Mu Rufeng stated gravely.
