Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Cangming Sea, Xuanwu Island, the city outline is majestic and majestic, high-altitude warships come and go like a shuttle, and people come and go in the city.

As one of the three major chambers of commerce in the Merchant Alliance, the headquarters of the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce is naturally very lively, with an endless stream of merchant ships carrying the banners of various chambers of commerce.

At night, a thin old man appeared below the city wall and filed in together with the accompanying people.

………………

In the majestic and majestic cave, a fair-faced man appeared and pushed the door open.

There was a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged inside, with a slim figure and soft facial features, who looked like a Confucian scholar. It was Yuan Shouye, the president of the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce.

"My subordinates pay their respects to the president." The man bowed and saluted.

"Is Zheng Youlin here?" Yuan Shouye said calmly.

"Yes, I am waiting in the meeting hall now, saying that I have to meet the president no matter what."

"Ha, this old guy still doesn't give up! Now that he's here, let's meet him!" Yuan Shouye smiled slightly, stood up and left the cave.

………

In the antique hall, a thin old man was sitting upright, chatting and laughing with a burly man, until footsteps sounded outside, Yuan Shouye came in from the outside, and both of them stood up.

Zheng Youlin bowed his head and said, "Fellow Taoist Yuan, I dare not disturb you, but I hope you won't be offended."

Yuan Shouye returned the courtesy with a smile on his face: "Friend Dao Zheng, the distinguished guest has come from afar. It is disrespectful to fail to greet him from afar."

The two of them were seated separately, and Zheng Youlin said: "Yuan Daoyou is busy with everything. Zhao doesn't dare to disturb you too much. I'll tell you the truth. This time I came to Guidao to cooperate with you."

Yuan Shouye waved his hand: "I know what Fellow Daoist Zheng means. You have sent people to convey this intention several times before. However, with all due respect, I'm afraid there is nothing we can do about this matter."

"The people in our Chamber of Commerce speak softly, especially in Qingzhou, which is mainly composed of Xuanmen and cultivating families. If we cooperate with you, we will definitely offend them. Fellow Daoist Zheng should be able to understand!"

Zheng Youlin nodded and said: "We understand the difficulties of your Chamber of Commerce, and I am not here today to discuss cooperation matters with Qingzhou."

"Oh? What is the cooperation that Fellow Daoist Zheng is talking about?"

Zheng Youlin said: "We hope to start business cooperation with your Chamber of Commerce in Yanzhou. Yanzhou was originally the sphere of influence of your Chamber of Commerce, but since the Taixuanzong Dingjia Rebellion, the situation in Yanzhou has gotten out of control, and many forces have squeezed in."

"Including the rise of local forces in Yanzhou, which has caused the power of your chamber of commerce to shrink significantly. Some rising local chambers of commerce have threatened your chamber of commerce's dominance in the Yanzhou business alliance system."

"We have some people in Yanzhou. If you and I can cooperate, I believe it will be of great help to stabilize the situation and the interests of your chamber of commerce."

"We can help your Chamber of Commerce eliminate those large local chambers of commerce that do not obey orders, so that your Chamber of Commerce can regain its dominant position in Yanzhou."

Yuan Shouye smiled and said, "Tell me your conditions."

"We need the channels of your Chamber of Commerce. We hope to be able to carry out business transactions under the name of your Chamber of Commerce. Of course, we will pay your Chamber of Commerce a certain amount of remuneration for this. If your Chamber of Commerce agrees to cooperate, I can guarantee that the conditions will be Very superior.”

Yuan Shouye said: "The situation in Yanzhou is very complicated. In addition to local forces, there are also other Xuanmen involved. I know that your organization has a certain amount of energy in Yanzhou, but I don't think that your strength can help us smooth things over." Obstacle."

"And I don't want to cause a bloody storm."

"Your organization has developed rapidly in Qingzhou over the years. I heard that the entire Qinghai has become an independent kingdom of your organization, and the Taoist and spiritual families in Qingzhou are very wary of you. They refuse all cooperation with you, including not allowing you to open a business in the city. Shop.”

"If we cooperate with you, we will inevitably encounter their hostility."

"I understand that your organization is currently encountering considerable difficulties. Your large-scale recruitment in recent years has overwhelmed your finances, and Xuanmen and the Cultivation Family have adopted a commercial blockade against you."

"You urgently need channels to open commercial exports and relieve financial pressure, but there is nothing we can do."

"Xuanmen and the Cultivation Family are not fools. No matter how we cooperate, they will blame us. There is no difference between cooperation in Yanzhou and Qingzhou."

Zheng Youlin said: "If your Chamber of Commerce is still worried about Taixuan Sect's targeting, which will affect your Chamber of Commerce's business in Qingzhou, I think Shangqing Sect, Yuxu Sect and Daode Sect can guarantee this."

The sturdy man below said: "What does Zheng Daoyou mean? Shangqing Sect, Yuxu Sect and Daode Sect will stand on our side, support the cooperation between you and us, help us suppress the local chamber of commerce in Yanzhou, and put pressure on Taixuan Sect , Make our business cooperation in Qingzhou smooth, right?”

Zheng Youlin said: "I think the other three major Xuanmen will understand and support us. After all, they were the ones who promoted our alliance with the Qingzhou Xuanmen. It is no exaggeration to say that we made great contributions to repelling the Mubei demon."

"Without our bloody battle, Qingzhou would not be as prosperous and peaceful as it is today. We paid a huge price for this, and the Qingzhou jurisdiction we obtained was a consensus reached between Xuanmen and Xuanmen at that time."

"But now they are making things difficult and scheming in every possible way. It is obvious to all the world. I believe that justice is in the hearts of the people. There is no need for your Chamber of Commerce to come forward. I will negotiate with the Shangqing Sect, Yuxu Sect, and Daode Sect to seek justice from them."

"If they ignore it and allow Taixuanzong and Qingzhou Xuanmen to commit such treacherous and treacherous acts, then we will give up this important land of Qinghai and simply let the Mubei demons take it away. If anything happens in Qingzhou, It will have nothing to do with us.”

"Today there is chaos, the demons are rising, and they are confronting Xuanmen. We spared no effort to help Qingzhou Xuanmen repel the Mubei demons, but what we got in exchange was such an encounter, which is really chilling."

"Taixuanzong and Qingzhou Xuanmen will use us to fight against the Mubei demon on the one hand. If the Mubei demon comes back one day, we will be the front line against the Mubei demon."

"On the other hand, they suppress and exclude us in all aspects. How can there be such a reason in the world? They let the horses run but don't let them eat grass."

"At that time, I will express my attitude to Shangqing Sect, Yuxu Sect, and Daode Sect. If Taixuan Sect and Qingzhou Xuanmen prevent us from normal business dealings with your Chamber of Commerce, then we will withdraw from Qinghai and hand it over to Mubei. demon."

"Anyway, the treatment we are receiving now is almost the same as that of the Mubei Demon. We are all squeezed out and suppressed in the same way. In this case, let them face the Mubei Demon's alliance directly. I believe that the other three major Xuanmen should have a fair attitude. ”

Yuan Shouye said: "We are not interested in the grudges between your organization and Qingzhou Xuanmen. I just want to know what practical benefits we will get if we cooperate with your organization?"

Zheng Youlin said: "As I said before, we will suppress the Yanzhou local large chamber of commerce on behalf of your chamber of commerce and help you regain the dominance of the Yanzhou Chamber of Commerce."

"The jurisdiction we occupy includes Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and the islands of the Netherworld. All cultivation resources can be directly connected to your Chamber of Commerce without going through other chambers of commerce in the Merchant Alliance, and our prices are guaranteed to satisfy you."

"In addition, the intelligence network we have operated for many years will be of great help to you. If your Chamber of Commerce needs it, we can even send people out to open up trade routes for you and seize the energy group."

"With the strength of your chamber of commerce, if you cooperate with us, you can definitely compete with Xuanmen on the Qingzhou interface. Coupled with the pressure and support of the three major Xuanmen, I believe Taixuanzong does not dare to do anything to us."

Yuan Shouye smiled and said: "The conditions are very tempting, but I'm sorry, I still have to reject your organization's invitation."

Zheng Youlin said: "Why? I hope your chamber of commerce can consider it carefully. Although we have encountered some difficulties now, we have not yet reached the point where we can push everyone down. It can even be said that our influence in the inland will gradually increase."

"And Xuanmen also needs to rely on us to contend with demons. It is impossible to fall out with us. If your chamber of commerce cooperates with us, it will definitely make more and greater profits in the future."

"If we are worried about the pressure from Qingzhou Xuanmen and Taixuan Sect, we will settle the matter."

Yuan Shouye said: "I have to admit that the conditions you offered are very tempting, but it is not just a matter of interests. Let's be honest! I don't like the set of things your organization promotes. Not only me, but also the Business Alliance Many people in the company don’t like it, including the top leaders of the World Chamber of Commerce and the Human World Chamber of Commerce.”

"I don't care whether you regard it as a demagogic slogan or as an ambitious goal. In short, I don't like your style of conduct."

"Since you occupied Qinghai, you have wiped out all the chambers of commerce in Qinghai. If one day you occupy Yanzhou, I'm afraid there will no longer be a place for us to stand in Yanzhou."

Zheng Youlin said: "If your chamber of commerce has a grudge because of the Qinghai incident, we can open up Qinghai and allow the chamber of commerce to enter."

Yuan Shouye said, "Qinghai is just a small issue, not worth mentioning. The key is the attitude of your organization, let me put it this way! Personally, I am not opposed to your organization expanding its influence in the interior, but your thoughts are hostile to everything. , I don’t agree.”

"Business is about being open-minded and tolerant and cooperative. But what you are promoting is too extreme and will definitely be detrimental to us in the long run."

"If your organization really wants to cooperate with the Business Alliance, you must at least show some sincerity. What I mean is not the annual profit, but your attitude towards cooperation."

"You have to make changes."

Zheng Youlin said: "I wonder what kind of attitude can satisfy your Chamber of Commerce?"

Yuan Shouye smiled and said: "You have to think about this. If your organization is really sincere in cooperation, I believe it can be done. Well, that's the end of it. Zheng Daoyou didn't come easily, and he spent most of his time on this island. I have some wine at my place, please come over."
