"I have invited the person in charge of the Vulture Chamber of Commerce in Shuize City, and he will be there soon."
The Eight-claw Empress smiled slightly, waved to General Zuo behind her and said,
"General Zuo, where is the person I asked you to invite?"
"Boss Qin said he was going to pick up someone and would be back soon."
As he spoke, the guard brought two middle-aged men, one tall and thin, and the other short and fat.
After the tall and thin man came in, he bowed to the Eight-paw Empress and said,
"Greetings to the empress."
The Eight-Claw Empress nodded slightly, glanced at the short and chubby man next to him, and asked,
"Boss Qin, who is this?"
Boss Qin quickly introduced:
"Mother, this is Elder Ma, one of the top ten elders at the headquarters of our Vulture Chamber of Commerce. I specially invited you to come here to discuss this matter with you."
When the Eight Claw Empress, Firebird City Lord Duan Shi, and Cold Wind Valley City Lord Suo Nan heard this, they immediately stood up, clasped their fists at the short and fat man and said:
"Ouch, it turns out to be Elder Ma, disrespectful!"
Elder Ma had a charming smile on his fat face, looking harmless to humans and animals, and said with a pleasant smile:
"Mou Ma has met the three city lords and admired them for a long time!"
The Eight-paw Empress quickly said:
"Elder Ma, please take a seat and serve tea!"
"Thank you, empress. I have heard for a long time that the Eight-clawed Empress of Shuize City is beautiful. When I saw her today, she truly deserves her reputation!"
"Giggles, I'm just an old lady, how can I still catch your eyes and make you laugh?"
Suonan chuckled,
"Your Majesty, you are so humble. I think among the women in Shuize City, you are the most beautiful and charming one, haha!"
"Hate!"
"Ha ha..."
The hall was filled with ambiguous laughter.
The four of them joked with each other and got down to business again.
"Elder Ma, do you know everything that happened here?"
Elder Ma nodded, still with a charming smile, always so amiable,
"I have already heard Boss Qin's report on the general situation, and I have also met with the two former heads of chambers of commerce in Death Castle and Taita City.
The Vulture Chamber of Commerce has completely withdrawn from business in the Castle of the Dead and Titan City. The business in Shuizhe City, Firebird City and Cold Wind Valley has also dropped by about 20 to 30%, and the business in two other cities has dropped by 10%. about. "
Suonan asked,
"Elder Ma, what are your Chamber of Commerce going to do? You can't just let Yang Xiao break the rules, right? He's trying to destroy your jobs!"
"That's right, Yang Xiao doesn't know the rules. How can he ruin other people's jobs like this?"
Duan Shi also added, looking filled with indignation.
Elder Ma smiled slightly and said lightly,
"Actually, for our Vulture Chamber of Commerce, reducing business in a few cities will not have much impact. We have more than a hundred cities in Central Continent.
Moreover, our consistent rule is not to interfere in gang wars between cities. We are just businessmen, and what we pay attention to is harmony and making money. No matter who is the city lord, he has to do business, right? "
Elder Ma said a few words and kicked away the ball thrown by Suo Nan.
Suo Nan and Duan Shi looked at each other and smiled awkwardly. They wanted to provoke a conflict between the Vulture Chamber of Commerce and Yang Xiao, but they didn't expect that a soft nail was thrown.
The Eight-pawed Empress on the side smiled charmingly,
"Elder Ma, drink tea."
Elder Ma picked up the teacup, took a sip, and praised repeatedly,
“Good tea, good tea!”
The Eight-pawed Empress smiled charmingly,
"Elder Ma, I know that the Vulture Chamber of Commerce does a lot of business and is very wealthy. However, if you let Yang Xiao continue like this, it may have a very negative impact on you over time."
"Oh, what do you think your Majesty wants to say?"
"Yang Xiao is very ambitious. He has already annexed the nearby Titan City and wants to move all the population of Titan City to his City of Hope.
Yang Xiao built nuclear power, running water, schools, and met protection fees in the City of Hope. Protection fees and transaction taxes were fully exempted for those doing business.
He has affected the business of at least a few of your cities today. However, as time goes by, he may affect the business of more cities.
Once Yang Xiao takes over, it will be difficult for your Vulture Chamber of Commerce to reverse the situation. "
When Suo Nan and Duan Shi heard this, they immediately followed,
"That's right, Elder Ma, don't take it lightly!"
"If you let Yang Xiao go today, it will definitely cause disaster in the future."
Although Elder Ma still had a smile on his face, he admired the Eight-paw Empress in his heart.
Naturally, he came this time because he felt that the situation was serious. The Chamber of Commerce headquarters sent him here to handle the matter with full authority. He pretended not to care just now because he didn't want to be used at gunpoint by Suo Nan and the others.
Elder Ma bowed his hands to the Eight-pawed Empress.
"Mother, in your opinion, what should we do?"
With a smile in her eyes, the Eight-paw Empress glanced at the three of them, then suddenly her face turned cold and she said,
"We are all on the same boat now. Yang Xiao now has a population of one million, 10,000 elite guards, and four emperor-level extraordinary warriors.
If we want to defeat Yang Xiao, we must unite as one and trust each other. Otherwise, tonight I will treat you as my guest and everyone will have fun. Tomorrow you three will just slap your butts and leave, as if nothing happened. "
Suo Nan, Duan Shi and Elder Ma all felt a little bit in their hearts and looked at the Eight-paw Empress.
The three of them thought for a moment and said,
"Your Majesty is right, we should unite and deal with Yang Xiao together."
"Okay, I agree with your proposal."
"Mother, if you have any suggestions, please tell me."
The Eight-paw Empress looked at the three of them with satisfaction and said:
"Now Yang Xiao has disrupted our rhythm and used a large number of preferential policies to continuously attract our residents to immigrate there. We cannot stop this.
At the same time, the caravan formed by Yang Xiao is also gradually swallowing up the interests of the Vulture Chamber of Commerce. If we don't stop it, think about it. In less than three years, the population of the surrounding cities will be largely destroyed by Yang Xiao's hope. The city is attracted to him, and the business naturally belongs to him. What are we left with?
An empty city!
At this time, there is no need for Yang Xiao to send troops to attack us, we will destroy ourselves.
I couldn't understand Yang Xiao's intentions at first. After I calmed down and thought about it, and studied all Yang Xiao's actions together, I realized that Yang Xiao is so powerful, with far-sighted vision and vicious methods.
What's more important is that this person's combat power is also very strong, and he is definitely not something that our city alone can defeat.
Therefore, if everyone wants to stop Yang Xiao and save their own interests, we must join forces to deal with Yang Xiao. "
"good!"
Suonan slammed the table and said loudly,
"Your Majesty's analysis is very correct, we listen to you."
Duan Shi's eyes showed a fierce light and he said bitterly,
"I didn't expect Yang Xiao to be so vicious. He simply didn't leave us a way to survive!"
"Elder Ma, what do you mean?"
Suo Nan looked at Elder Ma.
The smile on Elder Ma's face had disappeared. He gritted his teeth lightly, with a hint of sinisterness on his face. He nodded and said,
"Your Majesty's analysis is very correct. Ma agrees with your Majesty's opinion. Before I came, the Chamber of Commerce headquarters held a meeting and appointed me with full authority to handle the matter. I can mobilize the three thousand elite guards of the Vulture Caravan to participate in this war. There is also a captain of the imperial-level bodyguard."
In order to transport goods in the deep mountains and forests and prevent attacks by monsters and robberies by some bandits, the vulture caravans have their own special guards.
After hearing this, Empress Bazhao smiled charmingly at Elder Ma,
"Gee, I knew Elder Ma was well prepared. Well, with the help of the Vulture Chamber of Commerce, we are 80% sure to defeat Yang Xiao in this battle.
After we defeat Yang Xiao, Titan City and the Castle of the Dead will be jointly managed by the three of us, and all business will belong to the Vulture Chamber of Commerce. How about that? "
"Okay, I agree!"
"I agree!"
"I agree too!"
The Eight-pawed Empress giggled,
"In this case, we have decided that each of our three families will send four thousand guards and two emperor-level extraordinary experts, plus three thousand guards and two emperor-level extraordinary experts from the Vulture Chamber of Commerce. In this way, I will have absolute The superiority crushed Yang Xiao,
Humph, a young boy who is still in his infancy actually wants to annex us. Do you really think that my Eight-paw Empress is an idiot girl? "
"Mother, you can be Yang Xiao's grandma now. You must teach this grandson a lesson, haha..."
"Mother, you can't just give us tea. It's rare for Elder Ma to come here once. You have to arrange some fine wine for Elder Ma!"
"Don't worry, I have already prepared it for you. Not only are there fine wines, but there are also beauties. I guarantee that you will be satisfied. Come on, let's go to the banquet hall."
"Thank you, ma'am, I'm going to get drunk today."
"Yang Xiao has been suppressing me for several months. Now I feel relieved. We are going to relax and have a good time tonight."
