Chapter 288 Cooperation (6.4k, please vote for more updates!)
A huge ship with a length of one hundred feet and a height of tens of meters cut through the clouds, made a huge roar, and slowly landed in the sky above Danfamen.
The words Wanbao Chamber of Commerce and Weilong Fleet are written on the side of the building, and the Chamber of Commerce flag with gold and red characters on a black background is also mounted on the watchtower.
With this flag, the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce will be able to operate unimpeded in 98% of places, and no unsighted robbery cultivator will dare to rob the road.
Pilot ship.
Qi Shaowei stood on the deck, facing the wind, carrying one hand on his back and slapping the red paint railing with the other. He was very high-spirited.
Since the advent of Lingmidan, the branch of Wanbao Chamber of Commerce in Mingyue Tiancheng quickly discovered the business opportunities in it, and asked the Danfa Sect to counter-promote the Dan recipe and copy it in large quantities.
Although the imitation Balingmidan is not as effective as the original version, it still makes Wanbao Chamber of Commerce a lot of money.
And because the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has a complete sales network and transportation network throughout Xuanyang Realm, it is extremely suitable for this kind of low-profit and quick-turnover products.
It has only been more than five years since Lingmidan came out. The sales network is not limited to Mingyue Tiancheng and Donghua Tiancheng, but has been laid out throughout Xuanyang Realm.
It's just that Mingyue Tiancheng has genuine Lingmi Dan, and the power network of Datong Association is not much worse than that of Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, so the sales volume is the worst.
But in other places, Datonghui's influence is very small, and it is completely ruled by Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
The profit earned by Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is hundreds of millions of spiritual stones every year.
The branch manager who submitted the sales plan for Lingmidan to the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce was directly promoted to the headquarters, where he was guaranteed to have a chance of becoming a Nascent Soul, and could pass it on to future generations.
Now the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has established four Lingmidan sales centers throughout Xuanyang territory, and Qi Shaowei is the person in charge of the central and western centers.
However, due to his young age and lack of qualifications, the Western Central Committee was assigned to three celestial cities: Mingyue Celestial City, Donghua Celestial City, and Chongming Celestial City.
It seems that occupying three of the eight heavenly cities is a huge advantage.
However, Mingyue Tiancheng occupies the smallest area, only three thousand miles in radius. Coupled with the existence of Datonghui, the sales of Lingmidan are better than nothing.
Although Donghua Tiancheng has a radius of thousands of miles, it is vast and sparsely populated, and the business environment is quite difficult. The sales cost of Lingmidan is more than 50% higher than that of Mingyue Tiancheng.
Chongtian City was originally the most outstanding of the three.
However, due to the fact that True Lord Chongming fought against the Demon Emperor before the last beast tide, both sides suffered losses. The beast tides continued to cause chaos, which greatly reduced the population under his rule.
In addition, True Lord Chongming was practicing in retreat to heal his wounds. Without the suppression, the calamity cultivators were rampant and extremely chaotic.
Even the caravan of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce dare not guarantee their own safety 100%.
Once the caravan is robbed, millions of spiritual stones will be lost easily.
Therefore, the business environment in the entire Chongming City is extremely poor.
In order to ensure the safety of the caravan, more high-level monks had to be hired as guards, and the cost increased significantly.
But Qi Shaowei was not discouraged, but was full of confidence in the future.
The business environment is too favorable. Even if he succeeds in his career, he still cannot convince the public. People will question him and say that he can succeed even if he leads a dog.
But if he can make the best performance in the worst environment.
Then he will become the head of the branch headquarters in the future, and even be recommended to the real headquarters of the legendary Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, and others will have nothing to say.
The most important thing is that he is only in his fifties this year, and he is already a real Jindan, and he still has enough time to grow up.
But this does not mean that he can relax. On the contrary, he is personally responsible for every handover at Danfamen.
There are many outstanding alchemists under the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, including even fourth-level alchemists. However, there are very few low-level alchemists.
Because Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has always been engaged in the sales of high-level cultivation resources to complement local forces.
This time I focused on the Lingmidan business because it was so fragrant.
Therefore, the many alchemists of the Alchemy Sect are very important to the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, or to the Western Sales Center, and can be said to be one of the cores.
Even though the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is secretly building its own team of low-end alchemists, it still cannot give up its cooperation with the Alchemy Sect at this stage.
"It would be great if I could get the recipe for the original Lingmi Dan. Based on this alone, my contribution can rank first among many managers."
An idea came to Qi Shaowei's mind.
"I don't know how good President Bai's alchemy skills are. No matter how much we try to reverse the alchemy skills, we can only imitate 99% of the efficacy of the medicine, and even the cost will increase a lot, but it is not as good as the alchemy." The imitation version of Dharma is more economical.”
“Last time, we secretly sent people to the Datong Association to kidnap a few alchemists, but the alchemy formulas they obtained after interrogation were actually similar to our imitations.
It is said that the last method of collecting alchemy can only be mastered by the alchemist sent by the General Assembly. This is the secret of turning decay into magic.
However, these alchemists are not weak in strength. If they want to be kidnapped directly without making any noise, they can only call on the True Monarch Nascent Soul.
But once the original elixir goes on the market, it will really fall out with the Datong Society.
That True Monarch of September is the real backer of the Datong Association, and behind her is the Xuanyang Sect, so I can’t afford to offend her. "
Qi Shaowei was lost in fantasy when he felt the ship shake, and a transparent barrier appeared in the air, blocking the fleet.
"Master Manager, something seems to have happened to Danfamen. Otherwise, our fleet would not have been blocked for no reason."
A burly man flew up from the ship behind him. He was also a Jindan monk and was the steward of the fleet.
"Go down and ask."
Qi Shaowei panicked, but remained calm on his face.
The importance of the alchemy method to him is self-evident.
If something goes wrong with the alchemy sect, aside from other things, the 30 million stone spiritual rice he just purchased and the millions of kilograms of low-level spiritual grass behind him will rot in the warehouse.
Thirty kilograms of low-grade spiritual rice is one spiritual stone, and one hundred kilograms is one stone. These thirty million stone spiritual rice are equivalent to one hundred million spiritual stones.
Those millions of kilograms of low-level spiritual grass are only a few million spiritual stones, which is actually a small amount.
"yes."
Just as the big man was about to set off, a red-faced alchemist full of elixir fire came up into the air and faced Qi Shaowei across the railing.
"May I ask who is the person in charge of the fleet ahead?"
"Yes, I am Qi Shaowei, the person in charge of the Weilong fleet."
Qi Shaowei nodded reservedly.
The red-faced alchemist bowed his hands and said, "The sect master asked me to say sorry to you. The cooperation between the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce and the alchemy sect cannot continue.
Here is the compensation for our alchemy sect's violation of the contract. Please count it. "
The red-faced alchemist presented a storage bag with five million spiritual stones in it.
"Is this what the Fire Pill Lord himself meant?"
Qi Shaowei's fists behind his back were already clenched, and he had no intention of receiving the storage bag.
He dared to bring so many spiritual rice over, so naturally he had already signed the contract.
It's just that in order to show the sincerity of cooperation, the liquidated damages were not set high, only a mere five million spirit stones.
After all, cooperation with Danfamen is a win-win situation.
The Alchemy School has orders for alchemy, and they also have product sales, and everyone makes money.
The contract just meant something, and the other thing was that he didn't believe that Lord Huo Dan dared to offend Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
The channels of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce are here. If Lord Fire Pill wants to refine elixirs, he has to ask for some high-level materials from the Chamber of Commerce.
Offending the Chamber of Commerce made it more difficult for him to make alchemy.
A win-win situation turns into a lose-lose situation, and everyone knows what to choose.
However, the red-faced alchemist was very frank: "Of course, if it hadn't been for the instructions of the sect master, I wouldn't have made any decisions."
"I want to see Lord Fire Pill!"
Qi Shaowei was furious, but he still suppressed his anger and said:
"I won't leave until I see True Lord Fire Pill!"
The red-faced alchemist said: "Our sect master has been practicing in seclusion before Your Excellency came here. I don't know when he will come out of seclusion."
"Then ask the person who can make the decision to come and see me!"
Qi Shaowei's eyes were bloodshot, and he was excited.
He couldn't imagine the situation of hundreds of millions of spiritual stones and spiritual rice rotting in the warehouse.
You must know that 100 million spiritual meters of spiritual stones does not only represent 100 million.
In addition, the manpower and material resources purchased from cultivating families in various places, and the cost of transportation along the way, add up to the cost of millions and tens of millions of spiritual stones.
If he can refine all these spiritual rice into spiritual rice pills and let him take them back, then everything will be easy, he will definitely make some money, and he can also make a lot of money.
But if he brings these spiritual rice back, not to mention the cost of the loss, he may not be able to sell them all even if he sells them to death.
This is not some rare top-grade or top-grade spiritual rice, but just the most common low-grade spiritual rice.
An ordinary county can rely on spiritual veins to cultivate hundreds of thousands or millions of acres of spiritual fields. This is something that can be grown on the land every year and has no special competitiveness at all.
Moreover, the branch of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce will not sell low-grade spiritual rice, so it cannot afford to lose that person.
The other three sales centers were selling like crazy, earning hundreds of millions of spiritual stones for the Chamber of Commerce every year, but he left hundreds of millions of spiritual stones rotting in the warehouse.
His whole life is ruined!
He was only in his fifties, and his life hadn't even begun, so how could it end?
Qi Shaowei was so angry that he had the urge to destroy everything.
The red-faced alchemist shook his head helplessly and said, "Fellow Taoist, please don't get too excited.
Let me introduce you to me, Song Ling, a third-level alchemist and deputy sect leader of the Alchemy Sect. I am now responsible for presiding over all affairs of the Alchemy Sect. "
The railing under Qi Shaowei's palm has been deeply scratched with a palm print.
But after all, he came from a family of merchants. He did not act out of emotion. Instead, he took a deep breath and asked coldly:
"Since you can make the decision, do you know the consequences of offending our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce?"
He almost couldn't help but let the Nascent Soul Lord who was in charge of the fleet take action to kill this guy who didn't abide by the contract.
However, the red alchemist looked dull.
"Ah? Are the consequences serious? But haven't we already paid compensation? Will the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce still send True Lord Nascent Soul to punish him?"
Qi Shaowei was stunned and almost couldn't help but shed tears.
Yes, he broke the contract and the spirit stone was already lost, so what else could he do?
Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has had a reputation for so many years, and will never retaliate and ruin its reputation just because of a breach of contract.
On the contrary, the Chamber of Commerce pays most attention to contracts. As long as it works according to other people's contracts, it will not say anything even if it loses.
At most, he would acquiesce that he would retaliate privately and provide some support by the way, but if something happened, he would definitely cut off the relationship as soon as possible.
And the Alchemy Sect is not a weakling who can be manipulated by others. The Fire Alchemy Master is a monk in the middle stage of Yuanying, and his combat power is close to that of a great Yuanying monk.
Unless he invites his ancestors, there is no way to take revenge.
But he, a junior in the family, had just taken on an important responsibility, and the Chamber of Commerce had suffered heavy losses. Why should the ancestors fight for a junior like him?
As for the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce that has cut off other people's alchemy materials, the worst they can do is not make alchemy, or they can ask others to buy the materials.
In the final analysis, it's just a bit more troublesome.
The Chamber of Commerce values peace and cannot do no business for anyone.
The most important thing is that no matter how the Chamber of Commerce retaliates afterwards, his life will be ruined.
Qi Shaowei blinked hard, held back his tears, and forced a smile.
"Alchemist Song, since Lord Fire Alchemy is in seclusion, you are now in charge of the alchemy method. Do you think you can continue our cooperation?"
He pushed back the storage bag handed over by Song Ling.
"As long as it's negotiable, this is yours."
However, Song Ling is not really dull. If he dares to accept it today, he will dare to slip and fall into the alchemy furnace as firewood tomorrow.
He shook his head, returned the storage bag, and said sincerely:
"Your Excellency, please don't say anything more. This is the decision of the sect master, and I don't dare to change it."
Qi Shaowei still didn't accept it.
"Since Alchemist Song said so, I won't force it anymore. I just want to use this storage bag to ask Alchemist Song a question."
Song Ling hesitated and took back the storage bag.
"I will tell you everything I know."
Qi Shaowei forced a smile and said: "I want to know where on earth I offended True Lord Huo Dan and made him give up cooperation with our Chamber of Commerce?"
Song Ling's lips moved and his voice was lowered.
"To be honest with you, our sect master is in retreat, but before retreating, we reached a cooperation with a force called Datonghui. From now on, our alchemy sect will only refine elixirs for Datonghui.
If you want to continue our alchemy method to refine spiritual rice elixirs for you, you can only seek the consent of Datonghui. "
"Well, that's all I can say. Thank you for your gift."
Song Ling arched his hands and flew into the alchemy gate.
Qi Shaowei bowed his head and looked at the Danfamen, which was surrounded by fireworks and seemed to be in the clouds, as well as the red-lit volcano crater in the middle.
He couldn't help but laugh miserably.
"What a great association. It has been silent for many years. I thought you had given up. I didn't expect that you stabbed me at the most critical moment. It's just because I am so happy with my achievements. It's my own fault for being plotted against me this time."
The big man on the side said: "General Manager, we haven't lost yet. As long as we can convince True Lord Fire Pill, we still have hope of making a comeback."
Their fleet can now be said to be the direct descendants of Qi Shaowei. If Qi Shaowei falls, they will have to be sent to remote corners in the future.
Qi Shaowei took a deep breath, nodded and said:
"Yes, no matter what, we have to get through this disaster first."
He once again took a deep look at the alchemy gate below, his eyes flickering and he didn't know what he was thinking.
…
"Tsk, tsk, it's so miserable."
Yu Xian looked away from the huge fleet and said with a smile:
"Looking at the size of their fleet, the number of spiritual rice they brought this time is not small. If they just go back like this, I'm afraid the steward responsible for this will be useless.
Now they are in a dilemma. It seems that they will have to come to Brother Cui soon. "
"But I do admire the steward. He didn't go crazy despite being so miserable. I thought I could eat this batch of spiritual rice for free."
True Lord Fire Pill was originally named Cui You, but as time passed and relatives and friends died, everyone only knew the name True Lord Fire Pill.
This is also the reason why most high-level monks call themselves by their titles, and few people know their real names.
Hearing this, True Lord Huo Dan felt a chill in his heart, and he secretly became more wary of True Lord Great Love, who had only come to the Dan Method Sect for a few days.
Sure enough, no monk who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm is easy to mess with.
Bullshit love!
If you really had great love, you wouldn't stab her in the back secretly, and you would even plan to swallow up her entire fleet.
It's one thing to break a contract and pay for it, but it's another thing to have someone annihilated at his doorstep.
When the time comes, he will really be tied to the pirate ship, and it will be difficult for him to jump off the ship.
Fortunately, although Mr. Qi was young, he was not motivated, which made the situation get out of hand.
But after all, he had something to ask for, so he smiled apologetically and said:
"Brother Bai has no choice. This time, Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has accumulated a large amount of spiritual rice and cannot return, so we can only compromise with Brother Bai to reduce losses.
I am here to congratulate Brother Bai on making a huge fortune. "
Yu Xian shook his head and said, "It's just tens of millions of dollars, but it's not in my eyes."
Moreover, he mainly wanted to cooperate with the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce and use their business methods to do things for him. If he was offended this time, it would be difficult to deal with in the future.
The most important thing is that he has to give everyone a reasonable reason.
In this way, his great love can be exerted silently.
Otherwise, a guy who hated him so much before would suddenly become intimate with him, and even a fool would know that something was wrong.
…
That night.
Qi Shaowei was waiting anxiously in the attic on the ship.
The news of Danfamen's breach of contract has spread throughout the fleet. Now the monks in the fleet are talking a lot and have lost confidence in him.
True Lord Nascent Soul, who was in the fleet escorting this transportation, even avoided seeing him. He seemed to be sure that he was about to lose power and did not want to have anything to do with him.
If he can't come up with effective measures, he may soon become alone.
After all, he was the general manager who came by air, and he didn't have much authority yet.
He sent several confidants to contact him during the day, and he was not completely unprepared. He had already left a secret hand in Danfamen.
But the situation changed too quickly, and the position of the hidden hand was not high enough, so he was caught off guard.
Suddenly.
A piece of jade pendant on his chest became hot. He calmly stood up slowly and was about to retreat into the formation hub in the room.
As long as he blocks him for a moment, the Nascent Soul Lord in the fleet will be able to react.
"Mr. Qi, if I were you, I wouldn't move."
A faint voice came.
Qi Shaowei smiled bitterly and said: "Who are you from Datonghui? You can sneak into my room without disturbing the formation."
"You can tell when you turn around."
came the voice.
Qi Shaowei turned around and saw an "ordinary" young monk sitting where he had just been.
He had seen this person's appearance countless times, but now that he saw it suddenly, he didn't feel much surprised.
"It is an honor for me to be able to have the True Monarch of Great Love visit me personally."
As soon as Qi Shaowei finished speaking, he felt an extremely powerful pressure coming down.
My life is at risk!
With a look of horror on his face, he closed his eyes and waited for death.
But I don’t know how long it took.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw that the True Monarch of Great Love in front of him was still the True Monarch of Great Love, without any movement.
But for some reason, he didn't feel any resentment at all, and he also felt a sense of admiration for the True Monarch of Great Love.
"It is an honor for me to allow the True Monarch of Great Love to plot against me, a little golden elixir monk."
Qi Shaowei managed to regain his composure.
Yu Xian smiled slightly: "Actually, I have always admired young people. This time you were able to stay calm in the face of danger and quickly formulate countermeasures. Even if it is useless, it also makes me feel that you are a qualified collaborator."
Qi Shaowei had been stuck in self-doubt all day today, and now he was suddenly praised by his opponent, and he was praised by a true king whose strength and status far exceeded him.
He suddenly felt the urge to die for his confidant.
"So the true king actually looks at me like this?"
Yu Xian smiled and said, "I don't need to lie to you."
Qi Shaowei completely relaxed and had a smile on his face.
"Just now, Zhenjun said that he wanted me to be a collaborator. I wonder what that means?"
Yu Xian said: "This time I am the one with the upper hand, but it does not mean that I will kill you completely. On the contrary, we can not be opponents, but we can also be collaborators.
We in Datong will have the original recipe of Lingmidan, which is far more effective than your imitation version.
You cooperate with me, use my elixirs and your channels to sell the original version of Datonghui Lingmi Dan.
Do you think you could be better than you are now? "
Qi Shaowei suddenly became excited.
He has long coveted the original version of Lingmidan, and he also knows that a small difference in the effect will be a huge number in the face of a huge quantity.
If the two of them cooperate together, Wanbao Chamber of Commerce will not make less than it does now, and if there is a chance, it can sell the original Lingmidan to the other three sales centers.
By then he will be number one in performance!
The most important thing is that he wants to cooperate with the man in front of him.
Even if it was just the first meeting, he felt as if he had met the confidant he had longed for all his life.
It was clear that he had crushed him, but he did not sneer at himself, nor did he act like a senior to himself based on his cultivation. Instead, he regarded him as a respectable opponent.
He likes the respect.
As a man eager to prove himself, this kind of respect is what he has always longed for most.
"good!"
Qi Shaowei nodded and said: "But the share cannot be too small, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to the Chamber of Commerce."
For the Chamber of Commerce, performance is the first priority, regardless of how you sell.
And he had every reason to say that he was cooperating for the purpose of plotting against Dan.
As long as the profits are not affected, there is still a chance to get the original recipe and finally get all the profits. No one will mind.
"no problem."
Yu Xian stretched out his hand with a smile and said:
"Congratulations, you made the right choice. Having one more friend is better than one more enemy."
His basic base is still Mingyue Tiancheng. As for other sites, he wants to sell them, but he is powerless, so it is better to give them to Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
In this way, it is equivalent to using the pill formula to buy a share in Wanbao Chamber of Commerce without changing anything.
He looked at Qi Shaowei with satisfaction.
Young people are easy to fool.
If there were a True Lord Nascent Soul, his Great Love Domain would not be so effective, and he might have to do it again.
Qi Shaowei stretched out his hand tremblingly and held it tightly with Yu Xian.
"I will not let you down."
A tingling feeling came from his tail bone, making his whole body feel relaxed.
Even the True Lord Nascent Soul, who was sitting in the fleet, had never regarded him as an equal being. He was willing to obey his orders more because of the family he was born in and the face of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
But when he saw that he was out of power, he ignored him.
Now the majestic True Monarch of Great Love actually regards him as a perfect collaborator.
He looked at Yu Xian deeply, as if he wanted to carve his appearance into his mind.
…
the next day.
The Danfamen formation was fully opened, and the Chamber of Commerce fleet sailed in smoothly, unloading all the backlog of spiritual rice and spiritual grass.
It won't take long for these materials to turn into spiritual rice pills and sparkling spiritual stones.
The monks in the fleet were all in disbelief that Qi Shaowei had turned the situation around overnight, and even the Nascent Soul Lord who was sitting in charge hurriedly came out to meet him.
Only Qi Shaowei knew who he was truly grateful to.
"The true king of great love is worthy of his name."
He had a favorable impression of Datonghui, whom he had never met before, out of thin air.
