A bargain that was impossible to refuse.
Rama is not sure what the Fools are thinking behind the scenes, but they should not be a threat to the [Feiyun Chamber of Commerce].
After all, this is Liyue's land.
[Feiyun Chamber of Commerce] is also a large chamber of commerce in Liyue, and most likely it has the support of a certain Seven Star, or is related to Seven Star.
Although the Fools are powerful, they are far from being so powerful in order to suppress a large chamber of commerce that clearly has a high-level background in Liyue.
Or······
"I'm not worthy of their strength." Rama picked up the teacup with a relaxed expression.
It's okay to ask fools to help, but if you want them to work hard, it requires a little bit of a high price.
What Andre said should not be taken seriously. Everyone is just cooperating. If you really think that the other party will fight for your request, then you are taking yourself too seriously.
Until Rama doesn't pay the price, the fools won't fight like this.
"Fortunately, all I want is an opportunity to communicate. Since it is a chamber of commerce, everyone can make money by being friendly."
Rama was still very friendly.
His goal is to become stronger, and everything in the process is to accumulate the resources to become stronger.
This is not a problem that must be solved by conquest and killing. If possible, trading is also a good method.
With his identity and power, he can satisfy most people's desires, so trading is naturally more useful than fighting.
Andre outside the door pushed his eyes, looking a little thoughtful.
Simply arranging a meeting was not difficult for Northland Bank.
But since Rama needs this step, he must want to get something from the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.
That's when Northland Bank really needs to contribute.
This is Dadalia's arrangement.
This [Master] underestimates the power of wealth. As long as it helps his plan, he doesn't mind how much money he spends.
This has been the case for paying for a guest's guest countless times before, and it is also the same for the [Immortal Gifting Ceremony] where I have taken over more than half of the process on my behalf.
"Lord Andre, [Feiyun Chamber of Commerce] has compromised."
A Wind Fist Vanguard said in a deep voice, "But because of the reputation of the Fools, the other party requested that they arrange the meeting location."
Nominally, Northland Bank is affiliated with the Fools, and is just the purse strings for the Fools' operations.
But in actual situations, Northland Bank's attitude is not like this.
"Because of the reputation of fools..."
Andre had no intention of scolding his subordinates.
This is a fact.
Beiguo Bank is mainly responsible for making money. Half of the means of making money depend on having no bottom line, and the other half relies on abiding by contracts.
The people who run Beiguo Bank are businessmen, and all they want is to make money.
But fools don't think so.
They always have their own plans and arrangements, and Northland Bank only needs to transfer money and collect intelligence according to their requirements, and they don't need to care about the rest.
If that's all it takes, that's not entirely a bad thing.
Why could Beiguo Bank be able to grow bigger with the help of the Foolish People's force as a guarantee?
The Bank of the North, which is popular in the seven countries, is able to grow safely precisely because there are fools operating in the seven countries with enough power.
"It is precisely because we are a member of the fools that we have achieved today's achievements and have to face today's troubles."
Andre shook his head and said in a rather uninterested voice: "Go down, don't let me hear such words again."
His mood changed slightly.
Andre was not one of the young master's subordinates. Before Dadalia became the supreme commander stationed in Liyue, Andre was already involved in the management of the Northland Bank here.
Northland Bank must make concessions to the Fools' plan, which is a major reason for the Fools to support their development.
But not long ago, the changes in Mondstadt made Andre and the owner of Northland Bank a little nervous.
Qin herself still retains the basic face-saving work, and the lady's actions are not public, although her final act of stepping on the wind god at the door of the church did not leave Mond any face.
But at least on the surface, the Fools did nothing evil during the entire period of the Dragon Calamity.
Regarding the matter of Wendy being stepped on, the Knights finally adopted the answer of "he did it on purpose" with a half-vote. Although Qin herself remained silent, in a way, she actually usually supported this answer.
It can’t be that our God is really that bad, right?
Then I would rather believe that he just has a weird hobby. For a god with his status, a small perversion is not a problem, but being weak brings a huge problem.
Because of the discussion of "perverts, not weak", Qin was too embarrassed to continue targeting the fools in the end.
The answer to this matter has been finalized. It was Wendy's own arrangement and not entirely the Fools' own plan. The responsibility was thrown to the irresponsible Fengshen. Naturally, there was no way to continue to hold the Fools accountable.
After this discussion, a storm lingered over Mondstadt for a long time, but in the end the strong wind quietly dissipated, except that there was another drunken bard in the tavern.
Qin really had no intention of pursuing it further, but Diluc was different.
After he took office, he used official power to begin to settle old scores.
In the past period of time, the merchants from Zhidong, relying on the background of the Fools, had quite bad attitudes and behaviors.
This is not a common problem in a country. Every country has business travelers who behave relatively poorly.
But with the support of fools, Zhi Dong's merchants have relatively sufficient confidence in foreign countries.
And Diluc began to settle old scores.
Just like the ease and comfort with which Inazuma's shogunate dealt with foreign businessmen, when a country's official agency wanted to settle accounts with a group of business travelers without regard to Zhidong's attitude, it had too many methods.
Diluc couldn't specifically amend the law to embarrass these people, but there was really no need to do it "specially" to clean up these business trips.
When Andre looked back on this matter, all he could find was nothing more than revenge.
Mond's matter has been settled. Even if Andre's identity is not qualified to peek into the inside story, he can guess that the Fools' plan was successful, but it also offended the Knights of the West Wind.
The North Country Bank in Mondstadt was retaliated against, and Andre could turn a blind eye.
But looking at Dadalia's actions next, it seems that he will also make a big move in Liyue.
Regardless of whether his plan succeeds or fails, how much will Northland Bank have to pay for it?
Andre sighed quietly.
These things can be seen at a glance, but the rich are silent, and naturally they cannot have any attitude.
The bosses at the top have all remained silent. As pawns, it is already good enough that they are not abandoned. They do not deserve to have any ideas of their own.
"What an eventful time it has been." Andre sighed.
Morax is dead... Although we don't know exactly how the God of Rock died, Dadalia is still so active in this situation.
He could already guess the future in the near future. Dadalia, like the lady, turned around and left, leaving them to face these difficult troubles.
Even the Knights of the West Wind, the most tolerant among the intelligence, couldn't bear it anymore and began to settle old scores.
So with Liyue Qixing backed by the Immortal, will they still abide by the rules on the chessboard and properly reason with others?
Beiguo Bank was able to suppress the local banks in Liyue, on the one hand because of the value of Beiguo Bank's access to seven countries, and on the other hand because Liyue maintained business in this area.
They are very reasonable.
Doing business is just doing business, even if there is Qixing as a background, business is just business, and there is no need to let these people end up.
But if it makes sense now, it may not make sense later.
The Knights of the West Wind were very reasonable before, but now they chase people and beat them.
Fortunately, there is Xumi.
Thinking of Rama, Andre felt a little comforted.
Maybe Mondstadt is just a special case?
Look at how good the relationship between Xumi and the fools is. The two parties have exchanged letters many times and cooperated with each other.
The business expansion of Beiguo Bank in Xumi was quite smooth. Zhidong and the Xumi people had friendly exchanges without any bias.
When the Great Sage came to Liyue, the first thing he did was not communicate with Qixing, but chose to look for the Fools.
Isn't this a symbol of our friendship?
Thinking of this, Andre became more determined.
This matter must be done well.
You can't go to the end and look up and see enemies all around you, right?
That's a little too embarrassing.
Rama chose the fools, and of course some people chose the Seven Stars.
Qunyu Pavilion.
Ningguang built a floating attic above Liyue Harbor.
The Seven Stars of the past may not have the financial resources, but most of them would not be so high-profile.
Judging from the results, Liyue should be the Liyue of Morax. The only one who can overlook Liyue from a high position is the God of Rock.
This behavior was somewhat transgressive, but Morax remained silent, and everyone followed suit.
In addition, Ningguang is indeed quite legendary in the current Liyue Port.
She has never covered up her past. Anyone who is relatively successful will not hide much about their bad starts in the past.
The same goes for Ningguang.
She never concealed her experience of walking barefoot along the Yaoguang Beach to the South Pier when she was young, selling her goods all the way. To this day, some people still remember the little girl's embarrassment.
But when people look at her now, no one talks about Ning Guang back then.
There is no shame in coming from a humble background, not to mention that she now has the power of being the leader of the seven stars. People will only respect her achievements from scratch to today.
"Please, guest." Baiwen bowed slightly, "Master Ningguang is waiting for you inside."
Diluc followed Baiwen silently.
Rama taught him an obvious truth: if you want to do something in a strange country, you must try your best to build relationships with local forces.
So Rama took the initiative to give up his interests and demonstrated the value of his experiment.
Most people kept their research under wraps, but Rama habitually let everyone know that his research was valuable in exchange for their support.
And as far as the results are concerned, Rama was obviously right.
He didn't hide anything, so the entire upper echelon of Mondstadt was kidnapped into Rama's chariot and became his allies.
Now, Diluc has to do the same thing.
He wants to make a deal with the Seven Stars of Liyue, and then jointly target the Fools.
Diluc has many identities that can free up Ningguang, and this time he uses the identity of West Wind Knight.
"Here comes your trouble."
The woman playing the dice stretched her body and said, "Then am I going to quit?"
"The intelligence officer doesn't have any information worth mentioning," Ningguang said with a smile, "If not, then you would be derelict in your duty."
"What else do you need me to report? The great sage from Xumi found the Fools as soon as he entered the city. You should know this better than me, right?"
Ye Lan's tone was lazy, "Or are you unaware that Mr. Diluc has actually taken over the leadership of the Knights of the West Wind?"
The world was changing so fast that both of them could hardly see clearly.
"Not long ago, Mondstadt's owner should have been Qin." Ningguang withdrew her smile, "But the letter Qin handed me described the identity of Mr. Diluc."
"He has left the Knights for a long time. Now that he has joined the Knights of the West Wind, he has become the actual master of the Knights again."
Legenfund······
This was not so much a victory for Diluc as it was a success for Legenfund.
His last name always gave him a way out.
And with Diluc's ability, as long as he retreats, the Knights will reopen the door to him.
"If he just returns to the Knights, he can only succumb to Qin." Ye Lan said with a smile, "Qin's talent, Gunnhild's surname, and Falga's designation, she has too many reasons to Suppressed Diluc."
Diluc was a talented knight of the Knights back then, but that is already a thing of the past.
In the years since he left Mondstadt, Jean had taken on the title of Orthodoxy and had run the Order for far too long.
No matter why Diluc returned to the Knights, he could only succumb to Qin's power.
This is the theoretical situation.
In fact, according to their understanding of Qin, Qin will not refuse to give in power as long as the reason is right.
However, Diluc's situation is obviously no longer a "concession with appropriate reasons".
He actually defeated Jean and took the actual dominance of the Knights from Jean.
Yelan and Ningguang looked at each other with the same suspicion.
How did you do it.
"In most possibilities, Diluc wouldn't be in this position."
Jean had already set off too early.
Power doesn't wait for anyone, and by the time he leaves Mondstadt, Jyn's victory has been sealed.
But now he actually won.
"But since he did it, it's definitely not just an accident. There must be an external force that affects the situation of the Knights."
It won't be the God of Wind, it won't be the fools.
Who else was present in Mondstadt during that period?
Kong...or is this the Great Sage Xumi who appeared in Liyue Port but concealed his identity and chose to fool the crowd?
