Pink Lotus Mining Company

It is now three month after I hire more people. My relationship with Eli is still sailing fast.

With the help of the newly hired people, I have a monthly profit around 90,000 petals. I now have 190,000 petals in my bank.

If I have this much money before I got the system, I must be very happy. But, with the appearance of the system, I feel this much money is just... meh. If I can utilize the system, it is possible to become a multi-millionaire or even a billionaire. Well, if I want to utilize the system, I can't rely only on mining, I need to enter other industry. For now, the one sold in the system's shop is just a blueprint ship. So to utilize that, I need to do shipbuilding.

Speaking of shipbuilding, I now have the right to use Bee version 3 outer design. I also have built the ship with some other shipyard. It has been built since last month, and today one ship is ready. That ship will then become a sample ship for promoting the mass production of this ship.

Bee gives me the right to use the design as long as I give them a profit share. I think it long before agreeing with a condition if the ship really sells, Bee will become the service center. Unexpectedly they agree. Maybe become the service center is also good?

The shipyard that building it is named 'Green Leaves Space Shipyard'. It is a space shipyard owned by Green family. This shipyard actually doesn't have a successor and in the verge of closing down. There is no one interested in continuing the family business. I don't know about their situation when I offer the contract.

"Why don't you just buy my company?" said the owner of the Green Leaves after reading the contract.

"Eh! What...? Why?"

"In this contract, you want me to build 100 sh.i.p.s and a profit share. I can see that after you get a profit, you will start a shipyard and continue to build this ship."

"H-how!?"

"I have been in this industry for around 50 years. I have met someone like you for I don't know how many times. Some did succeed, but many others are not. If your ship is as good as you said, you will succeed."

"What do you mean about succeed? They get to build their shipyard?"

"No, their ship sold... Well, maybe they get to build their shipyard. You know, in a contract like this, the shipyard will want some assurance so they can still live even when the ship didn't sell. The shipyard wants the contract to include a minimum amount sold after a period of time. If you can't sell that minimum amount, you will be fined... That's a fail. Some people back down when hearing that contract change, but many did not and many fails. They feel confident with their blueprint, but sometimes it just didn't sell. And who knows what happen to them."

"Uhm... I never know there is something like this."

"Of course you don't know. So, what to do? If your ship is the same as what you said, I'm sure you will succeed. There is no other ship that can do mining with a few people like this."

"If you say so, I think I'll continue to build the ship."

"Okay... Then, do you want to build a shipyard?"

"Hehe, yes."

"Why not just buy mine?"

"If I have the money, I'll just build my own shipyard. Not offering a contract to some third party." I continued "Why are you want to sell this shipyard?"

That is when I know the situation of this shipyard. He said that he wants to retire and just enjoy his old life. Because there is no one in the family that want to continue, this shipyard will be sold in a year or so. He keeps asking me to buy the shipyard, he also suggests that I pay using this ship profit. He wants 200 million of the profit and I get the shipyard.

"200 million!?" That is some unbelievable number for me.

"Yes, you can get that amount in just a few months or so. But before we sign a deal, I still need to see the ship, you have one right?"

We get the deal done, and now we are here, the first ship has been built.
