Douluo's Peerless Confrontation

Chapter 150 Sanctions from Shrek
"Don't worry, young master, I will definitely handle the things you asked me to do," Ma Ming stood up and promised.
"Well, if you work hard, I won't treat you badly. Your salary will definitely be higher than you imagine in the future," Jing Chen said.
Hearing Jing Chen's words, Ma Ming became even more excited, thanked him repeatedly and expressed his loyalty again.
After explaining the matter, Jingchen briefly asked about the business situation of the store in recent times.
Ma Ming said quite proudly that recent sales have been better than in the past, and orders have been scheduled for eight or nine months.
Recently, he has been thinking about recruiting more employees to expand production, otherwise this order will not be completed at all.
But it was just an idea without action. He still had to ask Xia Jingchen for instructions on this kind of thing.
Jingchen agreed to his request. Hunger marketing is certainly beneficial, but it is of no benefit to whet others' appetites for too long.
They really need to expand production so that they can meet market demand and make money faster.
"The soul power ejection device is still provided by me, you just need to keep collecting metal and give it to me," Jing Chen said.
As long as there are enough metal materials, he can use the production machine to continuously produce soul power ejection devices.
After this period of time and Yiyi's daily efforts, the space in the Space-Time Tower has expanded a lot.
There was enough space, so he built two more production machines, and now three of them can produce soul power ejection devices at the same time.
The production efficiency is three times that of before. Uninterrupted production every day is fully sufficient for the factory's needs.
"Okay" Ma Ming didn't ask Jing Chen about the specific origin of those soul power ejection devices. He still had a sense of discretion.
He would never ask about these things that he shouldn't know, so as not to arouse Jing Chen's resentment.
Just like Jing Chen said to Ma Ming, he will be very busy next and there will be many things for him to do.
Recruit new employees, connect with the personnel sent by the Douling Royal Family, and prepare to open branches in ten cities within the Douling Empire.
These ten cities are only the first phase of opening stores, and the number of branches will increase in the future.
But for now, opening ten branches is the best. After all, one cannot become fat in one bite, and one cannot do things in one step.
They can't just think of opening a branch in every city in the Dou Ling Empire as soon as they come here.
Doing this will cause a lot of trouble, and there will be more things than they can handle, which would be bad.
After negotiation between the two parties, ten cities were finally selected, and Samsara Store will open branches in these ten cities.
After choosing the city to open a store, the next step is to select the location of the store and recruit employees in the corresponding city.
There are also a series of issues such as raw material procurement, which Ma Ming needs to worry about.
Jing Chen is a hands-off shopkeeper, and he is responsible for making suggestions. The implementation of things depends on Ma Ming.
With the help of the royal family, Ma Ming can do many things relatively easily and can do them without much effort.
He is like an overseer, responsible for keeping an eye on others' work and not making small moves. He does not need to do it himself.
On Shrek's side, seeing how helpful the Dou Ling Empire was to Samsara Shop, they also began to impose sanctions on them.
Businessmen from the Dou Ling Empire doing business in Shrek City will be taxed at 30.00%.
At the same time, various items in the city will be subject to restrictions when sold to Dou Ling Empire people.
For example, in the past, as long as you had money, you could buy an unlimited amount of something.
But now after being sanctioned, no matter how much money you have, you can only buy so many items, and there is no longer an unlimited supply.
There are many similar policies. In short, Shrek City has blacklisted people from the Dou Ling Empire.
Although there was no explicit order prohibiting Dou Ling Empire people from entering, it still showed that they were not welcome.
Shrek's sanctions against the Dou Ling Empire were not only commercial, but also related to student recruitment.
There are only one hundred enrollment places for soul masters from the Dou Ling Empire every year.
Such restrictions make the chance of soul masters from the Dou Ling Empire enrolling in Shrek lower.
For example, among the last freshmen, nearly [-] students came from the Dou Ling Empire.
Now it has become [-], which has reduced the enrollment quota by two-thirds. Such restrictions are not insignificant.
Shrek Academy also publicly issued an advocacy letter, hoping that students who graduated from Shrek Academy would not have too much involvement with the Dou Ling Empire.
To put it simply, I hope those graduates will not join the official Dou Ling Empire.
Students who have already joined should opt out as much as possible, and it is not too late to make any changes.
This advocacy letter can be said to be unprecedented and has never been published before.
This publication caused a huge sensation, and many people realized that Shrek Academy regarded the Dou Ling Empire as its enemy.
They are already using their power to influence the Dou Ling Empire in order to weaken the empire's strength.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows why Shrek Academy did this. It was to grudge the Dou Ling Empire for helping the Samsara Shop.
Since they helped their enemies, they were enemies, and Shrek was taking revenge by doing this.
People from both Tianhun and Xingluo watched the show, and they were happy to see Shrek Academy target the Dou Ling Empire.
Especially the royal families of the two countries applauded after learning about this incident.
It has to be said that the appeal of Shrek Academy is indeed terrifying. Under their call, some soul masters did choose to withdraw from the official empire.
The so-called imperial official means working for the royal family or serving in the military.
Those soul masters who work for the ministers of the Dou Ling Empire are not officially serving.
The withdrawal of these people has weakened the power of the royal family and military soul masters to varying degrees.
As time goes by, people continue to quit, and the number has reached hundreds, with a trend of thousands.
The impact of this was quite large, giving Emperor Dou Ling a headache.
The overall strength of the Dou Ling Empire is the weakest among the four continental countries, and the strength of the soul masters is not very strong.
Now that so many soul masters have withdrawn, the strength of the already weak Dou Ling Empire has been further weakened.
If this continues, the empire's military force may be weakened to the extreme, and it will become an object of bullying.
Emperor Dou Ling also approached Jing Chen about this matter and expressed that he wanted to meet the senior management of Samsara Shop.
This incident originated from Samsara Shop, so he naturally wanted to find Samsara Shop to discuss a solution.
Jing Chen's answer to him was that the family elders still didn't want to show up, so if anything happened, he could just tell him on his behalf.
in the palace.
"Your Majesty, it's not a bad thing that soul masters keep quitting," Jing Chen said.
Emperor Dou Ling cast a puzzled look. Isn't it a good thing if the soul master quits?
