During Hao Yun's time overseas, a lot of things happened in the spiritual world. For example, the private wine channel completely changed its owner. However, it was invisible to the majority of customers. The sales method adopted by the new owner was almost the same as before. There have been no changes, it is still done secretly and privately. The only difference is that the price has increased and the supply is not timely. As a prohibited product for sale in Lingdu Continent, private wine cannot be cleared away immediately even if the owner changes. This will take time to settle. As for the supply problem, the reason is that they lack the channels to transport it out of West Wind City, so they can only take The way ants move, slowly transport them out. Of course, as the new owner, they definitely hope to change this transportation status quo, but in this regard, they have no say. They must negotiate with the secular society, the owner of West Wind City, to have any hope.
Su Yujin took Miss Xiaosi to the Secular Garden, which is the headquarters of the Secular Association in Xifeng City, a place full of birdsong and the fragrance of flowers. As the great elder of the Demon Clan, Su Yujin is certainly familiar with the Lingdu Continent. Although he does not set foot here often, he will come to the Lingdu Continent every ten years or so to visit his old friends. As the link between the West Wind Continent and the Lingdu Continent, the Secular Society has naturally had a lot of dealings with the demons on the West Wind Continent. After Su Yujin came to the Lingdu Continent, West Wind City was the first stop. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, He would always say hello to relevant people in advance, and Qiu Cong, the vice-president of the Secular Association who was in Secular Garden, was a good candidate.
Normally, Su Yujin should report to the inspection agency, but as a demon who everyone shouts to kill, it would be stupid for him to go to the inspection branch in Xifeng City. He is not afraid that the inspection team will attack him. , to be honest, there are almost no people in this world who can kill him. He was mainly worried about causing trouble for himself and Miss Xiaosi. If the patrol team member was not discerning and insisted on pestering him endlessly, making the matter worse, it would make the senior patrol team difficult to behave. In the final analysis, the rules of the spiritual world are only about death, and people are alive. For people like Su Yujin who stand at the top of the pyramid in the spiritual world, it is very unwise to still shout and kill. Su Yujin himself is also relatively well-behaved. After all, he brought Miss Xiaosi with him this time. Under his guidance, Miss Xiaosi's time ability is improving every day. There is no problem in self-protection, but if she really wants to be watched by someone with serious intentions, Even though Su Yujin didn't dare to say, it must be safe. After much deliberation, Su Yujin thought it would be better to find a middleman to talk to the higher-ups in the spirit world, which would naturally reduce a lot of trouble.
Arriving at the gate of the Secular Garden, Su Yujin and Miss Xiaosi were waiting for the staff's announcement. Normally, Su Yujin should have made an appointment in advance, but this old man was used to doing things as he pleased. At worst, if the person was not there, he would go back first. . Coincidentally, Qiu Cong was really in the Secular Garden, but he was also very busy and was receiving other guests. Therefore, when the staff at the gate saw an old man and a girl, or two mortals, they also I didn't make an appointment, so I refused them without even thinking about it and told them to go back first and come back at the specified time after making an appointment.
Su Yujin was very polite and negotiated with the staff politely. This meant that he was an old friend of Qiu Cong and had something urgent to do this time, so he came to visit abruptly. However, he hoped that the staff could talk to Qiu Cong. After announcing that if Qiu Cong was unwilling to meet him, they would naturally leave.
The staff member sitting in the guard box at the gate was very well-educated and did not laugh out loud. Even though he was just a gatekeeper, he was also a cultivator in the infant stage and still had good eyesight. He was convinced that he You read that right, these two people are just mortals. How can a mortal become an old friend of a cultivator, and also an old friend of a Mahayana cultivator? Speaking of which, the age gap is terrifyingly large. Su Yujin looks only about sixty years old, and Vice President Qiu Cong is hundreds of years old. Years old, even if he is almost three hundred years old. The difference in strength and age makes it very difficult for mortals to make friends with cultivators. For cultivators, mortal friends are just passing by in life. Fortunately, this staff member is still kind-hearted and feels that Su Yujin is not talking nonsense and may have actually dealt with Qiu Cong. After all, secular society has more contact with mortals, but he suspects that Vice President Qiu Cong may have forgotten it long ago. And there is this old mortal friend.
After the notification, the staff asked Su Yujin and Xiaosi to wait at the gate. After all, he was only watching the gate and needed to report layer by layer. He was not qualified to let them in until they received the order to release. Just waiting like this for a long time made Su Yujin's face look ugly. After all, Su Yujin and Xiao Si boasted about Haikou. He was also the great elder of the demon clan. Even in the Lingdu Continent, he was also a powerful giant. As a result, now we can’t even enter the front door.
Xiao Si kept making faces at Su Yujin, laughing at Su Yujin's boasting. Su Yujin was also a little angry, thinking that Qiu Cong had become a bad vice president and was putting on airs with herself. Speaking of which, Qiu Cong is indeed an old friend of Su Yujin. When Qiu Cong was in charge of the West Wind Continent, he was nothing to Su Yujin. However, he was very smart and very respectful to Su Yujin. This is how he formed a bond with Su Yujin. Good luck. Later, after Qiu Cong was transferred back to Lingdu Continent, Su Yujin did not forget him. Every time he came to Lingdu Continent, she would look for him. Over and over again, the senior leaders of the Secular Association saw Qiu Cong's potential and naturally cultivated him vigorously. Otherwise, , it is not his turn to take the vice president's seat.
If he hadn't taken Xiao Si with him this time, Su Yujin would definitely have escaped directly into the river of time to find Qiu Cong in the same way as before. But that didn't work this time. If he had taken Xiao Si and directly used the time ability to find Qiu Cong, then Others will know that Xiaosi is also a demon. As the official representative sent by the Xifeng government to the Lingdu Continent, Xiaosi would definitely cause a lot of trouble if his identity as a demon was revealed. In fact, Xiaosi's identity must not be hidden from the higher-ups in the spirit world, but the higher-ups are very measured about this kind of thing. As long as Xiaosi doesn't cause trouble, they will definitely turn a blind eye. However, there are also many cultivators who are not discerning in the spiritual world. You must know that the magic pill is of great value to cultivators. If some fools learn about Xiaosi's identity, it will be really difficult. For those who come to hunt down Xiaosi, No matter what method you adopt, it is a mistake for people who kill these people. If you kill these people, the higher-ups in the spiritual world will not be able to get through. If you don't kill these people, they will not be able to get through themselves. It is very troublesome.
Qiu Cong was in trouble at this time. The person he met this time was the new owner of the private wine who came to negotiate for the transportation channel of the private wine. He could not refuse the other party's proposal directly, but he was not willing to agree. Come on, after all, selling private wine will violate the rules of the spirit world, and once you open this door, other prohibited items will naturally follow this line and find you. The Secular Association only cares about its own Xifeng City. Once prohibited items flow out of Xifeng City in large quantities, the status of Xifeng City in the Lingdu Continent will naturally decline. Not only will it affect the income of the Secular Association, but the top leaders of the spiritual world will also take the opportunity to pursue their protection. Responsibility for unkindness.
The new owners who took over the private wine business naturally knew Qiu Cong's difficulties. In fact, they were not interested in the private wine business at first, also because the transportation channels for private wine were difficult to establish. In comparison, It would be better to find a way to obtain the production technology and technology of moonshine, so that they can mass-produce it and sell it seriously. It's a pity that the bootleggers know nothing about the production technology. They are only responsible for purchasing goods from the West Wind Continent and then transporting them to West Wind City. Therefore, under the premise that they can't get the recipe for bootlegging, they can only deal with the bootlegging. To suppress. However, all this was broken by Feifei and the others. Moonlighting suddenly spread in Lingdu Continent and was very popular. You can imagine how powerful moonshining is. After they got rid of Feifei and the others, the only way before them was to take over the private wine sales channel. Otherwise, the profits from private wine would definitely lead to the second and third people like Feifei appearing. Once a big force takes over, problems will arise.
Taking over this sales channel is very simple. Bring money and offer equal conditions, and the bootlegger immediately agreed. However, with the bootlegging, it is impossible to sell only in Xifeng City. After all, Xifeng City is only so big. Sales volume is almost constant. If the excess private wine is not sold, it will remain in the backlog every month, which will put a lot of pressure on their funds. The key point is that this bootlegging business is supposed to be a big business that lays golden eggs. If it falls into their own hands, not only will their superiors laugh at them, but they themselves will not be able to withstand bankruptcy. What's more, they already know that the higher-ups have sent people to the West Wind Continent to find recipes for private wine. If the higher-ups can produce it themselves, the private wine in their hands will be really worthless, and they will inevitably become the first to go bankrupt. ribbon organization.
With no other choice, they found Qiu Cong through their connections, hoping that Qiu Cong could give them a way to survive. Their request was also very simple, which was to provide a safe transportation channel for up to one year, and they were willing to provide it to the Secular Society. The benefit of 30% off the market price. To be honest, this condition is quite good. For the Secular Association, it is actually very simple to provide a transportation channel. But just as Qiu Cong worries, if there is one, there will be two. Once the hole is opened, if you want to do it again, Receive, but it’s not that simple. Qiu Cong wanted to refuse, but there was something in the other party's words, which meant that if he didn't let go, they wouldn't be able to control the people below. After all, this is a matter of survival, and some people might take risks. This is also a big headache for Xifeng City. thing.
In the conference room, the tense atmosphere filled the air from the beginning. The briefing staff saw Qiu Cong and other participants frowning and smoking cigarettes. The whole room was filled with smoke. The briefing staff opened their mouths. At the door of the conference room, I almost choked on the strong smell of cigarettes. Seeing how serious the atmosphere was, I swallowed my words again, closed the door quietly, and left without saying anything. Su Yujin was also persistent and asked the staff at the door many times. There was no way, the staff could only ask on the next level. As a result, Qiu Cong's secretary, who came to report the last step, felt very unhappy. Two mortals couldn't even make an appointment. No, I still insist on meeting Qiu Cong. Isn’t this crazy?
Otherwise, if someone can become a secretary, I know there must be a story. Since he is so persistent, it means that he may really have something to do with Qiu Cong. This is not the time to be smart. However, the meeting that should have ended long ago suddenly turned into a deadlock. Several times when the secretary opened the door to see the progress of the meeting, he found that Qiu Cong always had a stern expression on his face. Qiu Cong thought about it but couldn't come up with a good idea. He didn't dare to ask the president. The reason was that this meeting was originally pushed to him by the president. In other words, the president didn't want to If he refused directly, he had no choice but to let him do it, but obviously, the refusal should not be too blunt, otherwise the president would not have to take any extra steps. How to handle things is very particular. As the most clever and cunning vice-president of the Secular Association, Qiu Cong really stumped him this time.
