Profit

Zhang Erdan looked at Wang Yu from the office in a daze. He had just returned and hurried out in no time with Master and the other man.

"What's so urgent?"

Zhang Erdan felt that he wasn't even this anxious when he picked up money from the floor.

He even vaguely felt that Master was in high spirits.

This was the first time he had seen Master like this since he entered the sect.

On the other side, the three of them did not delay along the way. Soon, they arrived at Second Brother Meng's backyard at the Southern Hill again.

"It's really a purple coal mine. How strange!" Sun Chengshan was overjoyed.

"But since the government didn't notice it when they pioneered the land, it must be just a mini mineral vein."

Second Brother Meng nodded and said, "In the early years, there was a landslide here. Now that I think about it, this might be the reason why the buried mineral vein appeared."

"Brother Meng, your property deeds are complete, right?" Sun Chengshan asked, already intending to advance the cooperation process.

"It's all there. The land and this small hill are all mine. In the early days, this place was far from the center of town, and it was all useless hills. I bought it early. The mountainous lands were the most worthless then."

Meng Second smiled, his face was glowing.

It was perhaps the wisest decision of his life.

As he spoke, he took out the deeds that he carried with him.

After Sun Chengshan checked and confirmed that there were no mistakes, the two of them began to talk about the contract.

Second Brother Meng's main task was to provide the deed and grant the mining rights.

Meanwhile, Sun Chengshan was to contact the mining team and was in charge of the follow-up security.

At the same time, the initial cost of mining was also funded by him.

Then there was the issue of profit sharing.

Sun Chengshan had contributed money and effort, so he should take the majority.

Second Brother Meng did not have to do anything. After giving out the deed, he just had to wait to be paid.

In the end, it was tentatively decided that Sun Chengshan would take 70% of the total mining profits, and Second Brother Meng would take 30%.

In fact, Sun Chengshan already had a conscience by only taking 70% of the profits.

Perhaps this was also because of Wang Yu.

If Second Brother Meng found other rich and powerful people to work with, even if he was not ruthlessly kicked away after being set up, he would most likely be exploited. Those were far inferior to working with Sun Chengshan.

"Are you satisfied with the distribution?" Sun asked.

Second Brother Meng immediately nodded. "Yes, yes. You are so kind, Master Sun."

Second Brother Meng was initially satisfied with 10% of the profits. After knowing that he could take 30%, he was already beaming with joy.

After a while, he looked at Wang Yu and said, "How about this? I'll give 10% of my profits to Yu."

Without his help as the middleman, the mine would have been robbed away long ago. I might even have suffered revenge and had my limbs chopped off.

Yu, I really want to thank you. You must accept this offer. Don't reject it."

Second Brother Meng spoke sincerely and was filled with gratitude towards Wang Yu.

It could be told that he was a man who knew how to be contented.

The fact that he was willing to give up the benefits at this time showed that he was honest and sincere.

Wang Yu wanted to say something, but seeing that Second Brother Meng was firm, he did not argue. Wang Yu thanked him and accepted the 10%.

He was already poor to begin with, so there were too many occasions when he needed money to cultivate.

This 10% was a lot of profit, enough for him to make a fortune.

Seeing how generous Second Brother Meng was, Sun Chengshan hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Brother Meng is right. Yu has contributed greatly this time. How about this? I'll give you 5% too."

"Don't think that it's too little. When the mining starts, I will still have to continue investing money. The fellow disciples that we mobilize will also have to be paid. The expenses are huge."

"How could I find it too little?" Wang Yu smiled.

He did not refuse Sun Chengshan's offer at all.

After all, it was indeed he who gave Sun Chengshan the chance to make such a huge profit this time.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to gain some benefits from Sun Chengshan.

He did not expect Second Brother Meng to give him more in the end.

After the three of them came to an agreement, their faces were all glowing and were on cloud nine.

"After I go back and craft the contract, I'll go to the government's notary office to get it signed. Then, I'll immediately get the workers to start work!" Sun Chengshan was already a little impatient.

"Master Sun, I've dealt with a few members of the mining team in town. I know very well who's efficient and who's honest," Second Brother Meng said happily.

"That's good. Then I'll have to trouble you to hire someone with me, haha." Sun Chengshan couldn't help but laugh.

The more he looked at Second Brother Meng and Wang Yu, the more he liked them.

"Of course. I didn't stay in the mine for nothing." Second Brother Meng was no longer as reserved as when he first met Sun Chengshan. He patted his own chest with confidence.

Only Wang Yu did not forget his business and reminded him. "Master, there's an outsider martial artist behind the group of hooligans I chased away previously. He also knows about this mineral vein. He might not be willing to give up just like that."

When Sun Chengshan heard this, the smile on his face faded slightly. "What cultivation level is he at?"

"I interrogated them and found out that he's a second-level Body Tempering martial artist," Wang Yu said truthfully.

Hearing that his cultivation was so low, Sun Chengshan immediately looked indifferent.

"Hmph, if he still dares to cause trouble, I'll definitely break his limbs as a warning to others!" Sun Chengshan snorted.

Seeing that Sun Chengshan was so domineering, Second Brother Meng felt even more at ease.

Wang Yu did not say anything else.

Second Brother Meng tidied up the house and took away all the things that were of some value. The three of them returned to the town.

Sun Chengshan let Second Brother Meng and his family stay in the dojo tonight and drafted the terms of the contract overnight.

The next day, they went straight to the notary's office and signed the contract together. The contract was officially effective until the mining of this mineral vein ended.

Sun Chengshan also began to get busier. He rarely appeared in the dojo every day. He left early and returned late. Most of the time, he was pushing the progress of mining the mineral vein.

The dojo was usually presided over by Song Hezheng, who supervised the daily practice of every disciple.

As the news spread, the disciples of the dojo quickly learned about the mineral vein.

"I really didn't expect there to be mineral veins in a place like the Southern Hill. Master has really made a killing this time."

At noontime, a disciple named Dog Zhao was eating and chatting in a small restaurant opposite the dojo.

"I heard that the initial inspection is over. It's a tiny vein of purple coal. It was only discovered a few years ago because of the landslide"

Disciple Ironpole sat opposite him and picked up some meat from a large plate of steamed pork as he spoke.

As martial artists cultivated, their bodily functions became stronger, and their need for food replenishment also increased correspondingly.

This was especially true for meat with high nutrition and energy. In a situation where they could not afford to eat precious ingredients, ordinary meat food supplements became quite important.

"If our master can take the lead and secure this purple coal mine, we might be able to benefit from it as well," said Liu Mei with a smile.

"Haha, of course it's a good thing that we're Master's disciples. When we go to the mine to guard, Master will definitely reward us," said Dog Zhao with a smile.

According to the information obtained by the disciples, the main beneficiaries of the mining of the mineral vein were none other than Sun Chengshan and Second Brother Meng.

As for Wang Yu, his contribution to this was not publicized.

Therefore, he could still stay in the dojo and continue practicing his punches without anyone disturbing him.

Only Zhang Erdan, who was on duty at the office that day, seemed to have noticed something. Occasionally, he would come over and ask him about the mineral vein curiously, but he was dismissed by Wang Yu with a few words.

For the entire island town, the extraction of this tiny mineral vein did not attract much attention.

Most of the ordinary people who paid attention to this news would only talk about it in casual chats over meals.

To them, Second Brother Meng was like a lucky man who had won the lottery and became rich overnight.

These kinds of incidents didn't happen often, but they sometimes did appear on the news.
