"It is not impossible to transport it to the three cities of Dingbei, but it is a pity that Tongzhou Trading Company does not deal in low-level monster materials. They have no business dealings with the relevant shops in the three cities of Dingbei, otherwise it would be easier." Liu Menglong He shook his head.
"These shops in Anping have long-term business relationships with the three cities of Dingbei and have fixed shipping channels, so the prices can naturally be guaranteed. Although we can also ship directly to the three cities of Dingbei, we still need to open up these channels and joints first. As long as the channels are open, the spiritual stones that should belong to us will not go away in vain." Liang Sanli said.
"Leave this matter to me. After the loan of spiritual stones is completed, I will go to the three cities of Dingbei and ask friends from Tongzhou Commercial Bank there to help me feel the situation before making a decision. During the time I left, , I hope Brother Liang and my brother will take more trouble." Liu Menglong prepared to go to the three cities of Dingbei in a few days, and then gave instructions.
"I think it's okay. Forty percent of the spirit stones is not a small amount. It's worth spending a little more. Brother, you can just act according to the situation." Zhou Yang agreed.
"If this can be done, we might as well open two stores in Anping and Tuyan to purchase monster materials. This will be much more convenient." Liang Sanli put forward a more advanced suggestion.
"Of course the idea is good, but we don't have so many spiritual stones!" Liu Menglong smiled bitterly.
"Take your time, it will happen." Zhou Yang affirmed.
If he can really open two more stores, he has even thought about the name of the store, and they will call it Yangtian. He wants to make Yangtian's name known. From now on, he will open Yangtian stores in Tuyan, Anping, and other cities in Hezhou, and even form a Yangtian Merchant Alliance to realize the dream in his heart.
Of course, this requires hard work little by little, from small to large, from nothing to something. However, he firmly believes that a single spark can start a prairie fire, and sooner or later the light of fireflies will be as bright as the bright moon. However, this road is still long and requires a lifetime of hard work and effort.
At this time, only Zhong Pengfei, who had watched Zhou Yang grow up, could vaguely guess what he was thinking. Zhong Pengfei understood that Zhou Yang's ambitions were not limited to one city or one place. Sooner or later, he would cross Anping, Suiling, and maybe even aspire to Hezhou.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but nodded secretly, but at the same time he was also a little worried.
In fact, Liu and Liang are not people without great ambitions, especially Liu Menglong. Although he works as a manager in Tongzhou Commercial Bank, he only gets a fixed salary every month. If he can't survive, he will starve to death. If he continues like this, his development in the commercial bank will not be very big.
He doesn't have a strong backer or enough spiritual stones, so he can only be grateful to God for being able to achieve the position of deacon in this life. If you want to change all this, the only way is to earn more wealth.
With a large amount of spiritual stones, you can quickly improve your cultivation level, and you can also clear up and down the management points. It is not difficult to use spiritual stones to clear the way and find a backer. When his cultivation improves and he has a backer, his status in the trading house will naturally increase. Therefore, he is more anxious than anyone else to earn spiritual stones, and he works hardest in managing Yangtian Pavilion's business, but only if he has the life to enjoy it.
Like Liang Sanli, he was unwilling to preside over the Yangtian Pavilion in the chaotic Tuyan City. If he handed this responsibility to young Zhou Yang, he would have to pay a corresponding price. Only then did the matter of transferring shares come about, but the two of them felt a little heartbroken when they gave up half of their shares.
"Come, let's raise a toast together and wish that Yangtian Pavilion's business will prosper! I also wish that Tu Yancheng will regain its glory soon! Cheers!" Zhou Yang suggested, and the four of them raised their glasses and drank it all.
After the meal, Zhou Yang winked at Liang Sanli, and the two left first, while Zhong Pengfei and Liu Menglong continued to discuss in the private room.
Zhou Yang did not stay in the city, but went directly back to his spiritual field.
At sunset, Zhou Yang returned to Anping City with Tiehu and appeared at Yongsheng Inn in Beicheng.
After entering the room, Tiehu bowed his head and bowed. He was very excited, and then the master and the disciple drank heavily.
The next day, Zhong Pengfei went directly to Liu Menglong's shop to meet with the deacon of Tongzhou Trading Company. After the negotiation, he returned directly to Tu Yancheng and rejected the two's request to see each other off. The two brothers had no choice but to return to the spiritual field in Xicheng.
Another day passed, and the high-level bird arrived indeed.
Sima Ling'er said in the letter that last time she released the bird as promised, but there was no reply. She thought something might have happened, or the bird was injured by a flying monster, or intercepted by someone. .
Zhou Yang was shocked after seeing it. If it was the former, it would be okay, but if someone intercepted it, no matter who it was, their previous information would be leaked. For this reason, he had to make plans early.
Ling'er also said in the letter that the spiritual stones and messages she sent had been received. She understood everything and was very moved. She asked Zhou Yang to pay attention to safety and remember to take care of his body. She had learned through other channels that Uncle Gu and Sima Yun had been abolished by Zhou Yuanzheng and thrown into a water prison. They were now worse than mortals. She vowed to avenge Uncle Gu.
Regarding the training of Xuanfu Sect disciples, she thinks it is a good opportunity. Soon, Pi Pu will arrive at Lingtian two days before the training. At that time, he will join Zhou Yang to jointly plan the operation and strive for success on the basis of ensuring safety. Get a few more loyal disciples to come over.
Sima Ling'er's thoughts coincided with his. Pu Zheng has been in the sect for a long time, and he is the guard captain personally selected by the old sect master. Naturally, he knows who is loyal and who is unreliable. Moreover, the scope of this experience is very wide, with five hundred disciples spread out, so they have a great chance of succeeding.
Ling'er asked Zhou Yang and Pu Zheng to find a way to disguise themselves before taking action. Once the action failed, they must not act according to the situation. Whether they can bring people back or not is not a second priority. They must ensure their own safety.
Based on this calculation, there are still ten days before the training begins, and Pu Zheng will arrive in eight days. There was still some time, so Zhou Yang did not stay in Lingtian for long. After leaving a few bottles of elixirs for Tiehu and Li Tong, he returned to Tu Yancheng.
One day after returning to Tu Yan, Yangtian Pavilion's inventory was running low, so he sent Mo Chenglong back to Anping to find Liang Sanli to purchase materials.
Two days later, Mo Chenglong returned, not only bringing back the goods needed by Yangtian Pavilion, but also materials for four other storage bags.
Zhou Yang was overjoyed and hurriedly sent someone to inform his uncle.
Zhong Pengfei was also very happy. He had obtained all the materials in less than ten days, which solved the urgent need of Ziyuan Sect and greatly improved his prestige in the sect.
Two days later, Tongzhou Trading Company sent people to Ziyuanzong and asked Zhong Pengfei to go to Anping. Shi Zhonghao, the general manager of foreign affairs of the trading bank, wanted to see him in person.
Zhong Pengfei was secretly happy, knowing that what he discussed with Tongzhou Trading Company last time would most likely come true. He hurriedly reported the matter to the head of the Ziyuan Sect. Wang Wuji, the head of the Ziyuan Sect, was also very happy. He even praised Zhong Pengfei for his ability to handle things and would personally meet with Shi Zhonghao.
It is normal to say that Shi Zhonghao is a peak master of Tianyuan, and he is at the same level as Wang Wuji. Although Zhong Pengfei is the elder in charge of foreign affairs and Duzhi, his level is too low, and there is no asymmetry with the foreign affairs director of Tongzhou Commercial Bank, so Wang Wuji came forward in person.
In fact, before the beast tide, the Du branch and the foreign affairs department of Ziyuan Sect were hot jobs, and they were controlled by two elders respectively. After the beast tide, no one in the Presbyterian Church was willing to take over these two areas, because the branch and foreign affairs became the two most difficult things to deal with.
Most of the sect's industries were destroyed, making it even more difficult to recover. The four major sects in Anping simply looked down on Tu Yancheng and Ziyuan Sect, who had lost their strength, and were unwilling to spend financial resources to provide assistance. Therefore, these two matters became hot potatoes, with no one willing to take over, and in the end they had to fall on the newly promoted elder Zhong Pengfei. .
He has the lowest qualifications and level among the Presbyterians. He is not qualified to bargain and can only accept. However, he had troubles to express, but he didn't dare to say it when he wanted to.
Before the teleportation array was opened, his life was very difficult, and the rebuilding of the sect's industry was very slow. Even though the teleportation array was opened and he arrived at Anping City, he gained nothing for many days. For this reason, he was often reprimanded by the sect master and ridiculed by other elders.
However, since Zhou Yang arrived at Tu Yancheng, everything has turned for the better.
The urgently needed elixirs, magic talismans, etc. were replenished, which solved the urgent need of Ziyuan Sect. Later, he used 50,000 spirit stones to buy back 200,000 materials, and his ability was finally recognized by the sect leader and the Council of Elders.
Now Tongzhou Commercial Bank took the initiative to contact him to discuss assistance. The sect leader was even more overjoyed and prepared to go to Anping City in person. This made Zhong Pengfei's prestige and status in the sect rise steadily, getting higher day by day.
All this was thanks to Zhou Yang. While Zhong Pengfei was happy, he was very grateful to Zhou Yang, but he didn't say it out loud.
Zhou Yang was involved in this matter, so he naturally knew about it. While I am happy for Ziyuan Sect, I am also happy for Yangtian Pavilion. If Ziyuan Sect obtains the support of Tongzhou Commercial Bank, the spiritual stones owed to Yangtian Pavilion will be settled quickly.
Although the profit for a big business of 200,000 spirit stones is not high, it can still earn at least 20,000 spirit stones. As the saying goes, helping others is also helping yourself.
Thinking of a lot of green-lighting spiritual stones, Zhou Yang felt relieved, so he called Mo Chenglong and Shen Tugang, and the three of them had a drink in Yangtian Pavilion.
During the banquet, Cheng Shijie and Wang Mengdao came to Mo Chenglong and Shen Tugang for a drink with their legs of lamb. Seeing that Zhou Yang was also there, they sat at a table and started drinking.
Sure enough, within a day, news came from Zhong Pengfei that Shi Zhonghao, the general manager of foreign affairs of Tongzhou Commercial Bank, signed an aid contract with Wang Wuji, the leader of the Ziyuan Sect, on behalf of the chief shopkeeper Meng Siquan. The content of the contract is as follows:
First, Tongzhou Commercial Bank lent 3.6 million spiritual stones to Zi Yuan Zong, using the refined iron mines belonging to Zi Yuan Zong as low security. The first payment of two million spiritual stones was to be paid to the Zi Yuan Sect within two days from the signing of the contract. The second payment of 1.6 million spirit stones will be paid off after the iron ore mine resumes normal mining.
Second, Tongzhou Trading Company provided five thousand mortals as mining slaves to the Ziyuan Sect, and sent a certain number of cultivators to help restore the mining of the mines, but the Ziyuan Sect had to pay a certain fee. Mortals get one piece of first-grade spiritual stone per day, and cultivators get ten pieces per day.
Third, the 3.6 million spiritual stones borrowed by the Ziyuan Sect were offset by the refined iron produced in the mine, and the price was 10% of the market price. The expenses of mortals and cultivators could also be reduced by the refined iron.
