The sign-in system hit me and took my country away

Chapter 309 Signing the Contract

"What is this?" Jia Hongwen looked at this beautiful fruit he had never seen before with curiosity, his eyes full of confusion. He was sure that this fruit was extremely rare in the entire interstellar space, perhaps even unique.

"Try it and see if you like it?" Mu Chenyang did not tell him directly, but took the lead in picking up a grape, putting it in his mouth, chewing it slowly, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

Qin Zhixuan and Qin Yunhai couldn't wait any longer. They ate the fruits one by one without hesitation, as if they were savoring the most delicious food in the world. After all, these were fruits grown in their own home, so they naturally wanted to enjoy them to the fullest.

Watching them feasting with such gusto, Jia Hongwen's curiosity was piqued, and he decided to try it himself. He picked up a grape, placed it in his mouth, and gently bit into it. Instantly, a rich, sweet aroma spread throughout his mouth, and the wonderful taste instantly intoxicated him. He even forgot what to say, and subconsciously shoved grapes into his mouth one by one, constantly exclaiming in his heart, "This fruit is so delicious!"

"Wow, this fruit is delicious! It actually boosted my mental strength just a little bit!" Jia Hongwen couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes wide with surprise and disbelief. He had originally just wanted to try this unprecedented fruit, but he hadn't expected it to not only taste amazing but also have the miraculous effect of boosting mental strength. In the interstellar world, mental strength is extremely important, affecting a person's strength, status, and even survival. This discovery made him deeply realize that the items brought by Mu Chenyang and others were of unimaginable value.

Upon hearing Jia Hongwen's exclamation, Mu Chenyang and the Qin brothers exchanged a glance, each revealing surprise. While they knew these fruits were unique, they hadn't anticipated their significant impact on boosting interstellar beings' spiritual power. This unexpected discovery reinforced their belief that their possession held immense potential and a broad market prospect within the interstellar world.

"This bottle of wine is made with this fruit. It takes at least ten kilograms of this fruit to make this bottle of wine," Mu Chenyang said directly. He spoke openly because he knew that this fruit was unique in the interstellar space. Others simply didn't have the raw materials, so there was no need to worry about them stealing the recipe.

"You said that this bottle of wine uses ten kilograms of such fruits?" Jia Hongwen said in surprise, with regret written all over his face, "Why does it feel like a waste of resources?" In his opinion, it is a huge waste to use such precious fruits that can enhance spiritual power to make wine.

"How many interstellar coins do you think this bunch of fruit can be sold for?" Mu Chenyang asked Jia Hongwen. He hoped that Jia Hongwen's estimate of the fruit's value would help him better understand the high cost of wine and help him understand that the price of fifteen thousand was not exorbitant.

"This fruit has never appeared in the interstellar world, and it tastes so delicious. It should be at least 500 interstellar coins per pound," Jia Hongwen said after careful consideration. He estimated that based on his years of business experience and understanding of the interstellar market, he offered a price he thought was reasonable.

"The raw materials cost five thousand, and then there's the various processes, recipes, time, and labor involved. This isn't machine-made, but handcrafted. So the cost is very high," Mu Chenyang explained in detail. His tone was sincere and serious, trying to make Jia Hongwen understand that the price of this wine was based on a comprehensive consideration of many factors, not just arbitrary price increases.

Jia Hongwen listened to him, calculating secretly. He found that every word Mu Chenyang said made sense. Based on the current cost, the price of 15,000 yuan didn't really leave much profit margin. But he didn't want to miss this rare business opportunity. After all, once this wine with magical effects was released to the market, it would definitely cause a sensation.

"So I'll sell it to you for 15,000. It's not expensive, right? The quantity of this wine I have is limited. I can provide you with 2,000 bottles a month." Mu Chenyang said.

"Okay, it's a deal then." After a brief moment of reflection, Jia Hongwen finally made up his mind and agreed. He believed that with his own business channels and marketing methods, he would be able to successfully market these wines and earn considerable profits.

"Okay, but we can only sign a one-year contract!" Mu Chenyang said. He had a long-term perspective in mind. In the ever-changing world of StarCraft, a year was enough time for them to gain a deeper understanding of the market and partners. Furthermore, they weren't sure what their team's plans would be after a year—whether they would continue to develop at StarCraft or return home. Therefore, signing a one-year contract was the safest option for now.

"Mr. Mu, I'm sincere. Can we work together long-term? A one-year contract is too short," Jia Hongwen said with some concern. He knew the potential value of collaborating with Mu Chenyang and others and was eager to establish a long-term, stable partnership to ensure he had a competitive advantage in future business competition.

"Boss Jia, I can't decide on this matter. Whether we can continue this long-term partnership depends on future developments, so for now, we can only sign a one-year contract." Mu Chenyang naturally had many considerations. On the one hand, a year would allow him to fully assess Jia Hongwen's business reputation, management capabilities, market feedback, and other factors to determine whether he was worthy of long-term cooperation. On the other hand, as he had previously considered, the direction of their team after a year was still uncertain. Whether to retain some personnel to continue developing the interstellar market or to send more manpower and resources from home to station there would require a decision based on the actual situation.

"I understand. Then sign a one-year contract. I'm sure you'll choose me!" Jia Hongwen said confidently. He had complete confidence in his business prowess and reputation, and believed that during this year's cooperation, he would be able to demonstrate his strengths, win the trust of Mu Chenyang and others, and secure the opportunity for long-term cooperation.

"Then I look forward to our successful cooperation!" Mu Chenyang smiled as he stood up and extended his hand to Jia Hongwen in a friendly manner. His smile was sincere and warm. Although the contract was only for one year, he also hoped that within this limited time, both parties could achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, laying a good foundation for future cooperation.

"The partnership is a success! Let's sign the contract!" Jia Hongwen quickly extended his hand and shook Mu Chenyang's tightly. Then, deftly operating the intelligent computer, he quickly drafted the electronic contract. Both parties added their numbers to the intelligent computer and solemnly signed the electronic contract, completing the signing. The entire process was simple and efficient, fully demonstrating the technological convenience of the interstellar era.

"It's already the middle of the month, so let's count it as one month. Boss Jia, can we just give you the goods?" Mu Chenyang asked. He was concerned about time and didn't want the timing of the contract signing to affect the transaction.

"Uh, just give me the space button, it might not fit here!" Jia Hongwen said. He was actually a little reluctant to give up his own space button, after all, this space button on his body has always been an important tool for him to store precious items.

Seeing Mu Chenyang seemed reluctant to take out the space button, Jia Hongwen couldn't help but wonder, could it be that they didn't have enough space buttons? In his understanding, space buttons were very common in the interstellar world. Usually, for a commodity transaction like this, a five-cubic or ten-cubic-meter space button would be enough.

"These space buttons are for me to load the goods, okay?" Jia Hongwen directly took out twenty space buttons. He thought that using these space buttons to receive the goods should not be a problem, and it would also show his sincerity and the importance he attached to the transaction.

"Are the space buttons here very cheap?" Qin Yunhai blurted out in surprise when he saw Jia Hongwen take out so many space buttons at once.

"Space buttons are quite cheap here. After all, they're quite useful for hunting. There are many shops along the streets of Xinghai City, and they sell plenty of them. They're not expensive either, only about 200 interstellar coins each!" Jia Hongwen explained. He didn't understand why Qin Yunhai was so surprised by the number of space buttons. To him, they were just ordinary tools in the interstellar world.

"Oh, that's really cheap." Qin Yunhai suddenly realized and was secretly happy. The price of a bottle of wine could buy many of these space buttons. This meant that they could buy a large number of space buttons to take back. This was undoubtedly an unexpected gain for them.

Mu Chenyang took the space button handed over by Jia Hongwen, and then used his mental power to accurately place the goods that needed to be delivered this month into one of the space buttons, and then handed it to Jia Hongwen.

These space buttons are extremely convenient to use in interstellar space. They require no blood-recognition process, and can be easily accessed and released simply by the user's mental power. This convenient feature has greatly improved the efficiency and convenience of interstellar trade.

Anyone can do this, as the mental power required to open the space button is very low. This means that almost anyone with basic mental perception can easily open the space button and obtain the items inside.

"By the way, Boss Jia, I don't want you to add water to dilute the wine and sell it. If I find out that you are selling fakes, I will directly cancel our cooperation with you." Mu Chenyang said to Jia Hongwen before leaving.
