Please show your spirit to our ancestors

Chapter 188: Complete annexation! Establishing the position of the overlord of Hedong County
……

Chen Jingyun was complaining in his heart, but his face remained calm. He raised his hand to bow to Fairy Baihua and said sincerely: "Senior Baihua, please take a rest for a while. After Jingyun takes care of some chores, please return to our Chen family's Qingyu Cliff and we will entertain you well."

"It's okay. Jingyun can go ahead and do what he wants." Fairy Baihua still smiled. "I'll help you on the viewing platform. If you need anything, just call me."

After saying that, the Fairy of Flowers took a step forward, and petals of light and shadow fell around her. Her figure also turned into a colorful light and landed on the viewing platform. Then she found a random seat and sat down, in charge of the whole audience.

She came to help the Chen family this time. On the surface, it was naturally to fulfill her promise to help once, but in fact, she had also seen the development of the Chen family over the years. The masters such as Changsheng and Zhongli Ye, who were on good terms with the Chen family, all gained a lot of benefits.

As for Master Jin Guang, he was often excluded and complained about it openly and secretly, which was considered an interesting story in the sect.

Under such circumstances, Fairy Baihua would naturally be willing to take her relationship with Chen to a new level, and perhaps there would be opportunities for cooperation in the future. That was why she was willing to offend the owner of Shuiyue Tower and stand up to Chen.

After greeting Fairy Baihua, Chen Jingyun slowly walked towards Princess Yunyi and politely bowed to her in a casual manner: "Chen Jingyun, meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

He gave Lu Haobo a polite smile again: "Greetings, Master Lu."

Lu Haobo returned the salute, but his expression was bitter and he couldn't smile.

In this battle between Yixiannu and Yunu, Lu was completely defeated. He even guessed the intention of Princess Yunyi to find Chen Jingyun.

as predicted.

Princess Yunyi bowed to Fairy Baihua from a distance, then turned to Chen Jingyun again, becoming more and more friendly to him, and smiled as she began to talk to him: "We parted hastily at Jinwu Market last time, and Master Jingyun is even more charming than before."

The last time she went to Jinwufang Market to bring back her nephew Wu Yongliang, she had only a polite contact with Chen Ningtai and Chen Jingyun. At that time, she was even a little wary of the Chen family, fearing that they would use her unreliable nephew's identity to plan something.

However, she never expected that in just two years, things would evolve to such an extent that she, the great Princess Yunyi, would actually make demands on Chen.

Chen Jingyun did not get straight into the topic, but continued what Princess Yunyi was saying and greeted her politely with a smile.

After a lot of back and forth, Princess Yunyi, who was in a disadvantageous situation, finally couldn't stand it anymore and spoke first: "Master Jingyun, let's not beat around the bush. This time, the Chen family has completely won the puppet business war. But now this mess and the mess must be dealt with. I have a suggestion here, please listen to it and consider it."

Chen Jingyun was a little reserved, then nodded and said, "Jingyun would like to hear the details."

Princess Yunyi smiled with satisfaction: "This is not the place to talk. Let's borrow the Ascension Pavilion in the Yixian Market to discuss things properly."

As she spoke, she looked at Lu Haobo who was standing beside her: "Is Patriarch Lu okay?"

"No problem, no problem." Lu Haobo nodded repeatedly, "I will send someone to arrange it right away."

Having said that, he went off to work happily.

After obtaining Chen Jingyun's consent, Princess Yun Yi's voice rang out again in the slightly agitated crowd: "Everyone, rest assured. This matter will be resolved for everyone no matter what. Please wait patiently for a while while we work out a solution to the problem."

Although the current Great Wu royal family does not hold power in the world of immortal cultivation, they still rule the mortal world and have a good reputation. Now that the princess has spoken, the people are naturally no longer anxious, but instead discuss the series of events that happened today with some interest.

Today was so exciting. The whole process was full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and in the end there was a sudden turn, turning in a direction that no one expected. It will be enough to become a topic of conversation after dinner for decades to come.

After pacifying the masses, Princess Yunyi organized a small meeting and politely invited Fairy Baihua to act as a notary.

The original participants of the meeting were only Lu Haobo of the Lu family, Princess Yun Yi, and Wu Yongliang.

However, Shangguan Yulong also squeezed in happily, saying that he was the president of the Jade Slave Association and was attending the meeting on behalf of the Jade Slave Association.

Not a moment longer.

In the Dengxian Pavilion at the highest point of the Yixian Tower.

With Lu Haobo's personal efforts, the table that originally belonged to the owner of Shuiyue Tower was removed and replaced with spiritual melons and fruits, fresh snacks, and the finest spiritual tea.

The Fairy of Flowers was arranged to sit on the main seat because of her status and position.

As soon as she sat down, she declared in advance: "As a disciple of the sect, I will not interfere in the economic and commercial disputes between your families. I am only here to bear witness."

“But…” Fairy Baihua paused for a moment, then looked at Princess Yunyi with a smile and said, “Your Highness, your royal family is large and powerful, so please don’t bully the small foundation-building family under the jurisdiction of our sect.”

"Please rest assured, Senior Baihua." Princess Yunyi smiled back, "We at the Great Wu Royal Manor have always valued credibility. Although we suffered such a great loss at the hands of the Lu family this time, we are still acting in accordance with the contract and will never use our power to pressure others."

Although she was smiling on the surface, she couldn't help cursing in her heart.

What small foundation-building families? The turmoil caused by these two foundation-building families is more severe than that of most Jindan families.

Hear this.

Lu Haobo smiled awkwardly: "Your Highness, I had no choice but to drag you into this. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive me."

"Although we have different standpoints, I have to admit that you, Master Lu, are indeed a talented person." Princess Yunyi glanced at him with admiration in her eyes, and then she couldn't help shaking her head, "Speaking of which, it was also because I was not careful enough in this matter and was blinded by greed. I should learn from this."

After saying that, Princess Yunyi's eyes fell on Chen Jingyun again: "The jade slaves developed by your Chen family are really amazing. Even I can't help but want to buy a batch to take back as maids."

"If your Highness has any needs, Jingyun has a few 20% discount coupons here, which he will give to you." Chen Jingyun took out three coupons from his storage bag and gave them to Princess Yunyi politely.

Princess Yunyi was a little confused.

Normally when she said this, merchants would often think of ways to give her something as a gift. However, Chen Jingyun went the other way and directly stuffed her with a few coupons, and they were only 20% off coupons!
She took a deep breath, cleared her mind and got back to the point: "I came to you to discuss this matter because I want to discuss how to solve this mess. I wonder if Jing Yun has any ideas?"

Chen Jingyun looked a little embarrassed: "Your Highness, I don't know much about business and economics, and I'm not very good at bargaining. How about I send a message to my grandfather and let him come to negotiate with you?"

It’s better that you don’t understand. If your old fox grandfather Chen Ningtai really comes, things will not be so easily solved.

Princess Yun Yi was delighted, but she remained calm on the surface and said, "I heard that Patriarch Ningtai is in seclusion, so don't disturb him with such a small matter."

"Everyone is very clear about the current situation, so I won't hide it and will speak directly."

"First, it is meaningless for me to hold the shares of Yixianfang City. If Chen Group acquires it, it will be equivalent to controlling more than 80% of the sales channels in Hedong County. I am willing to sell it at a discount, how about 180,000 spirit stones?"

This wave of losses is a bit of a loss, but if you can speed up the action to recover the principal, it can be regarded as timely stop loss.

Lu Haobo felt a pain in his heart.

Thinking back to the beginning, how much thought, time and money he had put into getting the shares of Yixianfang City? As a result, how long has it been since these shares were actually despised by others?

But he also understood that he had lost miserably and his Lu family was like meat on the chopping board. It would be very difficult for them to extricate themselves and survive, so he did not dare to ask for too much.

Given the current situation, only the Chen family can and dares to take over this mess.

"One hundred and eighty thousand is too much." Chen Jingyun thought for a moment and bargained tentatively, "Fifty thousand spirit stones?"

"Puff! Cough cough~~"

Princess Yun Yi nearly sprayed a mouthful of spiritual tea on Chen Jingyun's face, and quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, not only to prevent the spiritual tea from spraying out, but also to prevent herself from unable to resist cursing at Chen Jingyun.

I can tolerate your saying that you don’t understand business economics, but I really can’t tolerate your bargaining like this... Never mind, the situation is stronger than you now, so I have to endure it.

After a dozen breaths, Princess Yunyi finally adjusted her mindset: "Master Jingyun, if you bargain like this, there will be no room for negotiation..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Chen Jingyun stood up and said, "I still have to hurry back to sell the jade slaves and complete the production process. Please do as you please."

"Sir, wait a minute." Princess Yunyi hurriedly stopped him, her face a little stiff, "Aren't you afraid that I will sell this share to the Danyang Li family, or the Hebei Yuwen family? By then, Yixianfang City will become their bridgehead for entering the business of Hedong County."

"We in the Chen family just want to sell our jade slaves quietly." Chen Jingyun looked calm.

Princess Yun Yi felt as if she had punched cotton. All her force had gone to waste, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

Shangguan Yulong, the president of the Jade Slave Association, who was listening on the other side, was grinning in his heart when he saw this.

Okay, okay, Princess Yunyi, you can also enjoy this. I asked you to team up with Lu Qingxuan to stab me in the back. This is called the cycle of nature, and retribution will come.

Negotiating with Chen Jingyun was so helpless. Shangguan Yulong had seen it last time. The other party looked like he had no desires or demands. Normal business negotiation skills didn't work on him at all, and you couldn't threaten him at all.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Lu Haobo stood up and tried to smooth things over with a smile: "Princess, Master Jingyun, this is business. We can talk slowly if we have any problems. Princess, please make some concessions and lower the price. Master Jingyun, we should try to solve the problems within Hedong County internally. It's easy to let the Jindan family from other counties in, but it's hard to drive them away."

As he spoke, he whispered a few more words of advice and asked Chen Jingyun to sit down again.

Chen Jingyun looked embarrassed, but finally sat down again.

"Okay, then I'll be more sincere, 170,000 spirit stones!" Princess Yun Yi calmed down and made another offer.

Chen Jingyun thought silently, and after a moment he spoke: "It is not impossible for Her Royal Highness to ask us Chen to take over this mess. We Chen have two conditions. First, we either don't buy the shares of Yixianfang City, or we have to buy 70%, and the price cannot be too high, otherwise we would rather start a new business."

Princess Yunyi pondered for a moment, discussed with Lu Haobo for a few more sentences, and then nodded and said, "This condition is fine. Chen can take 70% of the shares of Yixianfang City, and our Dawu Royal Manor, Hedong Lu, and several other small shareholders will each hold 10%!" "This request is very reasonable, but our Chen family does not welcome shareholders who only take shares but do not do practical things." Chen Jingyun said, "Our Chen family's philosophy is that everyone works together to make it bigger and stronger. Each family must contribute according to the number of shares. Don't expect to get dividends without doing anything, otherwise our Chen family will have the right to forcibly purchase this part of the shares according to the purchase price this time."

Princess Yunyi was silent for a while.

She can't participate in the management of Yixianfang City for a long time.

Instead, it was Lu Haobo who nodded and agreed straightforwardly: "We, the Lu family, are willing to work together to become stronger. By the way, if we make extra efforts, can we get more benefits?"

"We can take out a portion of the dividends and distribute them to the families that have contributed more." Chen Jingyun nodded in agreement, "And after reaching a consensus, we can also increase the capital injection and redistribute the equity."

In fact, Sheshan Market now follows this business model.

After forty years of continuous development, the strength of each family has gradually widened. The Chen family has also expanded the market by injecting more new funds and acquired more equity in Sheshan Market.

Of course, this is a unanimous action reached through friendly consultation.

Princess Yunyi thought for a moment and came up with a rough idea: "Our Great Wu Royal Manor can help with public relations, but the specific rules need to be written into the contract after negotiation."

Once the two families agreed, the matter was settled.

In addition, the families of small shareholders who together hold 10% of the shares are naturally "represented".

Afterwards, the two sides haggled over the price of the 70% of shares that Chen was going to acquire for several rounds before finally settling on a plan in which Chen would invest 150,000 spirit stones to acquire 70% of the shares of Yixianfang City, with the other three companies retaining 10% each.

This purchase price is naturally very low, but in the current situation, as long as the Chen family strikes hard, it is still a question whether Yixianfang City can survive. Yixianfang City is completely in a passive situation, and being able to negotiate this price is already good.

In this way, Princess Yunyi was able to sell off her bad assets at a loss, avoiding losing all her money, and she also retained an additional 10% of the shares in Yixianfang City. After all, with the Chen family dominating Yixianfang City, the future prospects of Yixianfang City would be different.

Perhaps one day, this mere 10% of the shares would allow Princess Yun Yi to turn losses into profits, and it would also leave her with some hope of making a profit from this [Two Hundred Thousand Spiritual Stones Lending Project].

The Dawu Royal Manor is rich, but Princess Yunyi has just taken over part of the business and is still in the stage of building up her prestige. Naturally, she would like the possibility of turning losses into profits.

As for the Lu family.

The two sides are just engaging in normal market competition and there is no deep hatred between them. As long as they can put themselves in the right position, Chen does not mind uniting all the forces that can be united and leading everyone to grow bigger and stronger when he has the ability.

Not to mention, the current head of the Lu family, Lu Haobo, is indeed a capable person, and it is more profitable to form an alliance with him than to make an enemy with him.

soon.

Chen Jingyun continued, "In addition, the Yixiannu project needs to be separated from the Yixianfang City. We, Chen, will fully acquire this project and inject the improved version of the first generation of Yu Nu technology. After improving the production line, we can start production immediately."

The technology of Yixiannu was originally derived from Yunu, so the production line could be modified and used. As for the most important rune core, it was naturally produced by Chen's own production line.

Princess Yun Yi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Acquire the project and inject technology? This is a good idea! But why not directly produce the second generation of jade slaves?"

"The production line of the Yixiannu project is not suitable for producing the second-generation jade slaves. The level of most refiners is not high enough, and it would be a waste to directly abandon the existing resources." Chen Jingyun tried hard to recall what Wang Qianqian said, and replied to everyone in a serious manner, "The most important thing is that the cost price of the second-generation jade slaves is too high. The basic model is priced at nearly one thousand spirit stones, which can only cover mid- to high-end users."

"Our plan is to use the first generation of Yunu to cover low-end and mid-range users, and the second generation of Yunu to meet the customization needs of mid-range and high-end users. As for the third generation... we haven't started research and development yet."

Chen Jingyun was reluctant to lie, but that was an order from his wife, so he finally said what she asked.

Princess Yunyi nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Our Great Wu Royal Manor has invested 100,000 spirit stones in the Yixiannu project, accounting for 30% of the shares. I want to transfer this part of the shares to the first generation of jade slaves project."

"No." Chen Jingyun refused decisively. "There is too much water in the Yixiannu project. We have recruited too many refiners with high salaries and one-time high subsidies. The price of raw materials is also too outrageous. After squeezing out these water, this project is not that valuable."

Princess Yun Yi said unhappily, "The Yixiannu project requires every minute to be completed, and we must invest a lot of money in recruiting talents. Besides, aren't those main raw materials all hyped up by your Chen family?"

"That's right." Chen Jingyun didn't argue, but admitted it straightforwardly, "We not only hyped up the price of raw materials, but also took advantage of the high price of raw materials to sell the raw materials we had accumulated over the years to your Yixiannu project. It can be said that more than 60% of your raw materials were sold by our Chen family through various channels."

Lu Haobo: “…”

He looked at Chen Jingyun with dim eyes.

Although they knew before that Chen was deliberately speculating on raw materials and sniping them by raising the price of raw materials, the situation at that time required them to race against time, so they had to buy the raw materials even though they knew the price would be high.

However, they originally thought that only about 10% to 20% of the raw materials came from Chen, but they did not expect that the total amount was as much as 60%!

Just by selling this wave of raw materials, Chen must have made a lot of money, right?
"So, the current raw material prices are too high, and we can only calculate them based on the price after they are cut in half." Chen Jingyun said in a serious and businesslike manner, "We, Chen, are willing to pay 200,000 spirit stones to acquire the Yixiannu project. You can split the money and withdraw from the project. We, Chen, will be responsible for the production and cancellation of the 5,000 orders."

Princess Yunyi frowned and her expression instantly turned bad.

Thirty percent of two hundred thousand is sixty thousand, which means she can only get back sixty thousand spirit stones.

This is almost a cut in half exit!

But from another perspective, being able to exit this project that has already been declared a failure is actually a profit.

She doesn't have much right to bargain with Chen now.

But Princess Yunyi was obviously unwilling to give up. She smiled gently at Chen Jingyun and said, "You, the Chen family, have to take out 350,000 spirit stones in cash at once. You will definitely be stretched financially, which will definitely affect future production plans. How about this? I will not return my 60,000 spirit stones, and I will add another 140,000 spirit stones to make up 200,000. We don't want much, just 20% of the shares of this project."

She thought her proposal was very tempting, but unexpectedly, Chen Jingyun shook his head firmly as soon as he heard it: "The R&D cost of our first generation of jade slaves is too high, and the technical content is not comparable to that of Yixian slaves. They have a vast market and excellent competitiveness all over the world..."

damn it!
Princess Yun Yi almost broke her teeth.

Chen Jingyun, you pretty boy, you always say that you don’t understand economics and business, but you are so evil, right?

"Okay!" Princess Yunyi rubbed her back teeth and said, "Then Master Jingyun, how much of the project do you think our investment of 200,000 spirit stones can account for?"

"10% of the shares." Chen Jingyun raised a finger, but before Princess Yunyi could speak, he added, "The premise for us to accept your Dawu Royal Manor's investment is that the Royal Manor provides us with a ten-year interest-free loan of 500,000 spirit stones, which can be used as collateral for the equity of our first-generation jade slave project."

"What?"

Princess Yunyi's eyes widened as she stammered, "Then, you used the interest-free loan we provided to make up for the 350,000 spirit stones you needed to pay before? So all the money for this project came from our Great Wu Royal Manor? I paid to buy myself? And your Chen family didn't pay a single spirit stone?"

"Your Highness, this is not right." Chen Jingyun said calmly, "First, these 500,000 spirit stones must be returned to the Great Wu Royal Manor."

Ha ha.

Look at what you said, are you still not going to pay it back?

Princess Yunyi smiled back, but she was sneering in her heart.

"Secondly, even if the deal doesn't go through, we still have our righteousness. You, the Great Wu Royal Manor, can choose not to borrow money or invest. The modern cultivation society emphasizes win-win cooperation. There is no happiness in forcing things."

"Third, you are willing to lend 200,000 yuan and invest 100,000 yuan in the Yixiannu project. Don't you think our excellent first-generation Yu Nu project has any respect at all?"

"I #&￥%...!" Princess Yunyi's eyes widened and she slammed the table fiercely, "Invest! I've decided to invest in your project! I'll lend you 500,000 spiritual stones for a 10-year interest-free loan, and invest another 500,000, and I'll only ask for 25% of your project shares."

She is like a gambler who has lost all her money and decided to stand up from where she fell. She is not afraid of investing more money, but the important thing is that the shares cannot be too small.

Besides, this Yu Nu project is really good~
"Deal." Chen Jingyun nodded in agreement.

Money is not important, but since Princess Yunyi has shares in this project, she will definitely do her best to provide help in terms of connections and even help remove some obstacles. This is what Chen really needs.

Compared with those old Jindan families, the Chen family's foundation is still too shallow.

"call!"

When Princess Yun Yi heard these two words, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when she thought about it again, her heart began to lift again.

This Chen took my one million spirit stones, wouldn't he deliberately fail the project?

It was also at this time.

Wu Yongliang, who had been bored and eating a lot of food in the Ascension Pavilion, saw that they had finally finished talking about the matter. Finally, he could no longer hold back and happily sent a message to Princess Yunyi: "Aunt, do you remember the bet we made before?"

"(⊙o⊙)What??"

Princess Yun Yi's body trembled, and in a trance she finally remembered that such a thing existed.

"Remember to dress nicely and be proactive. My brother Xiu Yang is very picky."
