The town has a small population, probably only a few hundred thousand people, so the main street of the huge town has almost no people and looks a bit deserted.
There are some shops on both sides of the streets in the town, selling all kinds of things. The town is mostly composed of ordinary people, but there are also some monks.
In the small town, there is only one chamber of commerce, named
"Wanbao Chamber of Commerce". Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is very famous throughout the Tianwu Continent and is one of the two largest chambers of commerce.
The other one is the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce. The two chambers of commerce have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, trying to defeat the other one and make one dominate the Tianwu Continent.
Tianwu Chamber of Commerce is the oldest chamber of commerce in Tianwu Continent, while Wanbao Chamber of Commerce rose up later. As of now, Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is on par with Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, and there is a faint tendency to surpass Tianwu Chamber of Commerce.
The general headquarters of the two chambers of commerce are both in Zhongfuzhou. There are branches of two chambers of commerce in cities large and small in Tianwu Continent.
In some relatively remote towns, Tianwu Continent does not have branches, but Wanbao Chamber of Commerce does not spare any of them.
The Wanbao Chamber of Commerce does not actually make money by opening branches in these small towns, and sometimes even loses money. However, the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has never given up on these small places, mainly to build its own reputation and let ordinary people know that there is a chamber of commerce like the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce in Tianwu Continent.
The two chambers of commerce have been competing with each other for hundreds of thousands of years, and they have tried their best. For example, the crystal storage card is something developed by Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
The Tianwu Chamber of Commerce followed closely and followed the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce in upgrading the crystal storage card. According to the needs of different groups of people, it was divided into gold card, black card, purple card, and green card.
Four different colors of cards symbolize different identities. Such as that gold card, the entire Tianwu Chamber of Commerce has only produced ten of them, given away five, and the remaining five are firmly in the hands of the association. Only those with extraordinary status or strength can be given away by the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce. .
Those with a large sect or family background will apply for a black card, second-rate forces or ordinary monks will apply for a purple card, and ordinary people will apply for a green card.
After Tianwu Chamber of Commerce made such a move, Wanbao Chamber of Commerce naturally wanted to fight back, and then came someone who could enjoy a certain monthly interest by storing crystals in their chamber of commerce.
The gathered crystals are then released to those in urgent need of crystals at a higher interest rate.
In those years, the two families were at loggerheads with each other. The two sides were so explosive that they just had to call for a fight.
In the end, in order to prevent a large-scale war in Tianwu Continent, several major sects and families in Central Fuzhou came forward to mediate.
The heads of the two chambers of commerce sat together and discussed for several months before finally reaching an agreement. The two chambers of commerce will unify the crystal storage cards, that is, if one person holds the same card, both chambers of commerce can use it.
And whether the two chambers of commerce store or release crystals, the interest rates will be adjusted to the same. In the end, it is the customer's freedom to choose which company to go to for processing, and the two companies are not allowed to interfere.
Although both chambers of commerce were somewhat reluctant, they had to compromise. When they were doing business in Tianwu Continent, they couldn't avoid the support of these big forces, so they all agreed.
However, each of the two families had different requirements to retain the highest storage crystal card, and several major clans agreed.
The crystal card of Tianwu Chamber of Commerce has on the back
With the word "Tianwu" in the name, holders of this card can only handle various businesses at the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, and can borrow huge amounts of crystals without interest, and can receive all aspects of services from the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce.
Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is basically similar to Tianwu Chamber of Commerce. Behind the gold card is
The word "Wanbao". By doing this, the two families are each wooing their own forces. Liu Wei and Luo Bin entered the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce directly, and a woman from the chamber of commerce came to them wearing a cheongsam from the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
"What do you two young masters need?" The woman bowed slightly and saluted them. The woman is about thirty years old and has cultivated in the mortal realm.
"Sell some things first. How will your merchant receive it?" Liu Wei took out a Nai ring. Inside this ring are things belonging to Ge Hong and Dou Zhong.
There is a black card in Dou Zhong's Najie, which shows 100,000 top-grade crystals, and other miscellaneous things.
The black card is currently in Liu Wei's own hands. The woman took the Najie from Liu Wei's hand, took a look at it, and said: "You two, please come with me. I will take you two to the president to see the things in person and negotiate the price!" Liu Wei nodded, and he and Luo Bin The man followed the woman and walked inside.
After walking a few steps, the woman suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the big yellow dog, with a troubled expression on her face.
"Sister, is there something wrong?" Liu Wei looked at the woman and asked in confusion.
"Sorry, both of you, pets are not allowed in the Chamber of Commerce, so..." The woman bowed to Liu Wei and Luo Bin again.
Liu Wei nodded and looked at Luo Bin.
"Dahuang, wait outside the Chamber of Commerce. Don't run around. I'll be out soon!" Luo Bin touched Dahuang's dog head.
Dahuang rubbed Luo Bin's hand, turned around and ran out of the chamber of commerce, lying obediently outside the chamber of commerce.
"Please!" The woman made an inviting gesture towards Liu Wei and Luo Bin, leading the way. The three of them went to the third floor of the Chamber of Commerce and stopped in front of a room door.
The woman knocked on the door, and a middle-aged man came inside.
The voice of "Come in". The woman opened the door and led the two of them in. Inside, a middle-aged man was sitting at the desk, with a cup of tea in front of him and a scroll in his hand.
"President, these two gentlemen have something to sell!" The woman bowed to the middle-aged man and saluted.
Hearing the sound, the middle-aged man put down the scroll in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at the two of them, with a hint of imperceptible contempt flashing in his eyes.
In fact, the clothes Liu Wei and Luo Bin were wearing at the moment were a bit shabby. Especially Luo Bin's clothes, which were still the robes he wore when collecting herbs, had several holes in them and a large piece missing from one corner.
While the middle-aged man was sizing up the two of them, Liu Wei and Luo Bin were also sizing up the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man looks about the same age as Luo Yixian. He has a black mole at the corner of his mouth and a few thick black hairs on it, which is particularly conspicuous.
From the aura of the middle-aged man, Liu Wei judged that his cultivation should be at the True Sovereign Realm or the Supreme Realm. Anyway, it was stronger than the auras of Dao Chen and Dou Zhong, but much worse than Ge Hong and Luo Yixian.
"What do you two want to sell?" The middle-aged man was still sitting, with no intention of getting up or letting the two of them sit down.
Liu Wei said nothing and placed Najie in front of the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man glanced at Liu Wei, picked up the ring and checked it.
After a while, a smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, he stood up and said: "Please sit down, you two, how disrespectful!" Liu Wei and Luo Bin were not polite and sat in front of the man.
"Xiao Tao, why don't you have any eyesight? What are you doing here? Serving tea to these two little friends!" The middle-aged man looked at the woman with a straight face.
"Oh, okay, President!" Xiao Tao was stunned for a moment, then went to pour tea.
"You two friends, I am the president of this chamber of commerce, and my name is Wu Bo." The middle-aged man sat down and looked at the two of them with a smile.
"President Wu, I wonder how many crystal stones the items in the ring can be sold for?" Liu Wei's expression remained consistent.
At this moment, Xiaotao brought two cups of tea and placed them in front of them.
"You two gentlemen, please have some tea."
"Thank you!" Liu Wei and Luo Bin nodded to the woman. Compared to this middle-aged man, Liu Wei and Luo Bin had better senses about Xiao Tao.
The change in the middle-aged man's attitude clearly showed that he looked down upon others.
"I wonder, gentlemen, where do these items come from?" Ubo asked with a smile as he looked at the two of them. Xiao Tao stood aside and glanced at President Wu.
Liu Wei raised his eyebrows.
"President Wu, do you have to know the origin of the items your Chamber of Commerce collects?"
"Haha, I misunderstood, I just asked casually! I wonder which force these two friends are from? I don't think I know your elders!" Wu Bo still had a smile on his face.
"President Wu, I'm going out for training. The elders of the sect won't let me mention the sect. Please forgive me! President Wu, please tell me how many crystal stones these things are worth!" Liu Wei showed a look of impatience on his face.
Umber's eyes flashed with disappointment, then returned to normal.
"Little friend, the shield in the ring is worth 80 million top-quality crystals, the halberd is worth 30 million top-quality crystals, and the other items are worth 10 million top-quality crystals, totaling 120 million top-quality crystals!" Wu Bai looked at it! With Liu Weidao.
"Excuse me, farewell!" Liu Wei stood up, picked up the ring and walked out. This Wu Bai clearly wanted to kill him. Luo Yixian had already said before that not counting Dou Zhong's things, Ge Hong's things alone were worth 150 million.
Luo Bin also stood up and followed Liu Wei outside. Wu Bai's face turned cold instantly,
"You two, what do you mean by this? Is Wanbao Chamber of Commerce a vegetable market or a place that gives you free valuations? Can you come and go when you want?" Liu Wei stopped, turned around and looked at Wu Bai, frowned and said in a deep voice: "What? Are you, Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, going to buy or sell by force?" The atmosphere in the venue instantly became tense, with Liu Wei and Wu Bai looking at each other.
Xiao Tao glanced at Wu Bai again, a trace of disgust flashing in her eyes. Wu Bai relied on the fact that the town here was high in the mountains and far away from the emperor, and the towns were generally populated by ordinary people who were casual cultivators, so they often did this kind of business of ripping off customers.
Wu Bo stared at Liu Wei for a long time, and now he was a little unsure about Liu Wei's identity. Judging from Liu Wei's clothes, he is not even as good as some ordinary casual cultivators, but he behaves so strongly in front of him. This is not the confidence that a casual cultivator in the Mortal Realm without any background should have.
"My friend, I, the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, have absolutely no intention of doing this. Maybe I expressed it incorrectly and misunderstood you! When talking about business, the emphasis is on the word 'talk'. You two sit down first. We can talk about the price slowly. Isn't it?" Umber's smile returned to his face.
