Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World

Chapter 201: The different landlady

Chapter 201: The different landlady

Charlotte looked at her and fell into deep thought.

If he could do it on his own, he definitely wouldn't have the habit of sharing money-making opportunities with others.

But he couldn't come up with the 100 gold coins needed to buy the land, and he also needed to consider the safety of the future factory area.

If Diana joined as a partner, they could fly the flag of the Harriman family in the factory area, without worrying about safety issues.

Moreover, with the endorsement of the Harriman family, they would have more confidence in dealing with malicious competition from peers in the future.

"I accept your proposal to use this 2000 square meters of land for investment. But I have two conditions, and it depends on whether you can accept them," Charlotte said.

"Go ahead," Diana nodded slightly.

"First: this 2000 square meters of land will be valued at 100 gold coins for the investment in this pharmaceutical factory. You can have a 10% stake, but this stake is limited to this 2000 square meters of factory area, and you have no right to interfere in the operation of the factory.

Second: at the end of each year, I will distribute dividends based on the annual net profit, and you can take 10% of the net profit according to your share." Charlotte said.

"Are you giving a value of 1,000 gold coins to a factory that is still looking for land?" Diana's smile had a teasing tone.

Charlotte smiled and remained silent. His conditions did seem demanding, especially considering his current role as an entrepreneur seeking capital.

But the profit from the potions was quite substantial.

If he could scale up the production of potions and establish downstream sales channels, Diana's 10% stake would undoubtedly bring her extraordinary returns.

"Alright, I'm in for this project," Diana nodded in agreement.

As a mature businesswoman who had been involved in family affairs since the age of twelve and had built up the flourishing business on Baka Street, Diana believed in her instincts.

A piece of 2000 square meters of barren land in exchange for a 10% stake in the pharmaceutical factory, as mentioned by Charlotte.

The worst-case scenario would be the factory closing down and Charlotte's entrepreneurial venture failing.

In that case, she would just take back the land. What are a few years of land use worth, anyway?

But what if Charlotte developed another miraculous potion like the 'potion antidote' and produced it in bulk at the pharmaceutical factory?

What kind of returns would that bring her?

This remote piece of land originally belonged to the Jardson family but was later transferred to the Harriman family.

During the recent family celebration, this piece of land, which seemed insignificant, was given to her as an additional reward for her achievements.

It was too remote and secluded, and the population of the abyss wasn't sufficient to establish a new neighborhood there.

"The specific contract..." Charlotte said.

"Let me take you to see the land. If it meets your requirements, we can sign the cooperation agreement today. As for the construction of the factory and other matters, Buddy can assist you," Diana said readily.

"Alright." Charlotte nodded.

Diana had said everything, so he had nothing more to say.

"Let's go now." Diana got up and walked towards the door.

Charlotte hurriedly followed, looking at her figure and feeling that she had suddenly become a decisive and strong woman. It was a bit difficult to adapt to it for a moment.

Boarding the carriage, Diana lazily leaned back on the cushion and looked at Charlotte sitting opposite with a smile.

She asked, "Why have you been looking at me with strange eyes?"

"I feel like you have suddenly become a powerful woman. It's different from the impression of a lazy and enchanting landlady. I'm just not used to it," Charlotte honestly replied.

He suddenly realized that he hadn't seen Diana for a whole week, and she hadn't appeared on Baka Street either.

"Well... do you prefer the image of a powerful woman or the enchanting landlady?" Diana's captivating eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile played on her lips, making her charm even more alluring.

Adults make their own choices.

Charlotte smiled and said, "I like both."

Diana rolled her eyes at him, suppressed her smile, and casually said, "The Abyss Council has been finalized. The Harriman family occupies four seats, the Duru family occupies four seats, and the Daniel family occupies two seats. I am one of the inaugural council elders."

Charlotte was somewhat surprised.

Roland had mentioned this before, but he didn't expect the three major families to reach an agreement so quickly, and the council elders had already decided.

And as a younger member, Diana had already secured her position as an elder within the Harriman family. Her position within the family was very stable.

"Should I pay a little more attention when I get on your carriage in the future?" Charlotte asked.

"Hmm?" Diana was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "No, you can be even more high-profile. After all, there are not many people who dare to criticize me behind my back now."

Charlotte thought carefully and realized that it made sense.

"What about Roland? Did he become a council elder?" Charlotte asked curiously.

"He did," Diana nodded and couldn't help but smile.

"Funny thing, that position should have belonged to Kenneth, but Roland managed to secure the last seat with his ambiguous relationship with Jenny Crowell."

"Is that so?" Charlotte was also surprised.

Jenny was truly Roland's lucky star.

Not only did she provide funds to build the academy and personally recruit high-quality teachers, but she also used the influence of the Crowell family to help Roland secure the position of council elder.

It was truly enviable.

Charlotte chatted with Diana along the way and gained a deeper understanding of the recent situation in the Abyss.

In addition to the Abyss Council, the Abyss Guard, jointly formed by the three families, had also been established.

With a total of five hundred members, all with strength above the third level, the Abyss Guard would become the violent force to maintain the rule of the Abyss Council.

In the future, the three major families would work together to transform the Abyss into a mini-Calva, and they were currently improving order and security.

No wonder Charlotte had felt that the security in the Abyss had visibly improved during the past few weeks.

The carriage passed through several blocks and gradually became quieter.

Opening the window, they were already nearing the edge of the Abyss.

The streets on both sides were dotted with dilapidated stone houses, with hardly any pedestrians in sight.

Many of the houses were abandoned and uninhabited.

After passing through a street with only a few scattered stone houses, the carriage stopped.

Diana got out of the carriage first and pointed to a patch of overgrown weeds in the distance. She said, "That's it. Just find a piece of land and fence it off."

Charlotte looked around and found that the description 'desolate' was the most appropriate for this place. It was truly the edge of the Abyss, and further ahead was a cliff.

But there seemed to be a gap here, and the wind was stronger than in other parts of the Abyss, blowing in the direction of the mountains.

"There's a gap over there that supposedly leads to the sea. After low tide during the day, the wind blows particularly strong in that direction," Diana explained.

Charlotte's eyes lit up, "That's great, a natural exhaust fan. It can avoid the pollution of the Abyss environment when refining potions."

The geographical environment of the Abyss meant that the air wasn't particularly good. He didn't want to build the factory in the central area where the entire Abyss would be filled with the smell of potions.

That would be a great sin.

Although this place was a bit remote, according to Diana's plans, the security of the Abyss would continue to improve.

So, there was no need to worry too much about security issues when building the factory here.

The key point was that the land was large enough, with plenty of space for future expansion. It was a very good location.

Despite the overgrown weeds, the terrain was very flat and didn't require much leveling.

With some cleaning up, they could build the factory directly.

"I think this piece of land is good. Let's settle here, and we can sign the cooperation agreement," Charlotte said to Diana.
