Chapter 445 Choice
With such a huge conflict of interest, how could Xuanfa Pavilion agree to cooperate with the Nanya Chamber of Commerce?
Unless the Li family can make the cake big enough to exceed the loss of Xuanfa Pavilion!
But obviously, this is impossible. Even if Li Zhirui, the Nascent Soul Lord, is born in the Li family, and he is expected to become a fourth-level alchemy master, it is impossible to create such great benefits.
And the elders present really couldn't think of any good ideas. There was a dead silence in the hall, and you could hear a needle drop.
Li Dayuan sighed helplessly and said: "Everyone should go back and think about it carefully. You can also ask other tribesmen. Maybe they have any good ideas."
"Yes!" Everyone stood up and said goodbye.
Li Dayuan also got up and walked towards Li Shiqing's cave. Li Shilian and Li Zhirui were also there, hoping that after brainstorming, they could hear good news.
Unfortunately, the result was not as expected.
"Perhaps we can do the same thing as before, openly only doing business with Xuanfa Pavilion, and secretly still dealing with Nanya Chamber of Commerce." Li Dayuan hesitated for a moment and came up with a bad idea.
As the patriarch of the family, Li Dayuan certainly knows about the private transactions between the family and the Nanya Chamber of Commerce. After all, he needs to help cover up many things to avoid being discovered by other clan members.
"Impossible." Li Shiqing shook his head and said, "Xuanfa Pavilion is actually well aware of the previous private transactions with the Nanya Chamber of Commerce, but they just didn't catch the family."
"But the most important thing is that back then, the family was just a golden elixir force. Although there was a lot of profit, it was not to the level that Xuanfa Pavilion coveted. It was not worth their efforts to investigate the matter, so they just turned a blind eye. It passed with one eye closed."
"But now, with Yu Zhirui, the Nascent Soul Lord, in charge, the family's income will be far greater than before. Xuanfa Pavilion will not agree to share such a large amount of profits with his rival Nanya Chamber of Commerce."
"Unless the family publicly declares to sever all ties with the Nanya Chamber of Commerce!"
In Li Shiqing's view, if he does this, the friendly relationship that the family and the Nanya Chamber of Commerce have maintained for many years will disappear.
After all, as a top cross-domain chamber of commerce, it still attaches great importance to face. If you publicly sever ties like this, doesn't it mean that you don't give others face at all?
Li Zhirui couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Second Grandpa, have you forgotten that Nanya Chamber of Commerce is a conglomerate of a group of businessmen?"
"As for businessmen, what does face mean to them? I'm afraid it's not as important as a spirit stone." And once they cooperate with the Li family, the profits they bring to them every year will be no less than hundreds of thousands of spirit stones!
Of course, these hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones are nothing at all when compared to the entire Nanya Chamber of Commerce. They are just a drop in the bucket.
But for the big shopkeeper of Qingshan Prefecture, it is a considerable achievement.
"You're right! I was wrong." Li Shiqing was stunned and said with a smile.
Li Zhirui did not answer this, but said: "As for the Nanya Chamber of Commerce, I will personally go out and talk to the big shopkeeper. After this is confirmed, I will go to discuss cooperation with Xuanfa Pavilion."
He, the Nascent Soul Lord, came forward in person, which was enough to give the big shopkeeper face.
"Just do as you say."
On the same day, Li Zhirui left Ten Thousand Immortals Island through the secret passage under the sea.
Within half an hour, he appeared at the Nanya Chamber of Commerce and met the big shopkeeper.
"I've met the true king!" When the big shopkeeper first saw Li Zhirui, he couldn't help but feel happy. He felt that the Li family was preparing to cooperate with the Nanya Chamber of Commerce.
But when he thought about it carefully, he felt something was wrong!
Because if this were the case, there would be no need for Li Zhirui, the Nascent Soul Master, to come forward in person. It would be no problem to send a Golden Core cultivator or even a Foundation Establishment cultivator to take the lead.
So when Li Zhirui came in person, he planned to reject the Chamber of Commerce and choose Xuanfa Pavilion, but he was worried about offending the Chamber of Commerce, so he asked the Nascent Soul Lord to come forward and express a sufficient apology?
Speaking of which, he and Li Zhirui were old acquaintances. When they first met, Li Zhirui was just a junior who had just broken through the golden elixir.
But who would have thought that now he would have to salute the other party as a junior?
Li Zhirui saw the change in the other person's expression and roughly guessed what he was thinking. In order to prevent him from continuing to think wildly, he immediately said: "I am here to represent the Li family and reach a private cooperation agreement with the Nanya Chamber of Commerce. ."
"Privately?" The big shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, but then shook his head and said: "We don't mind, as long as it can bring enough profits to the Chamber of Commerce, but Xuanfa Pavilion will definitely not agree."
"How do seniors plan to solve this problem?"
Li Zhirui smiled slightly and said: "We will publicly sever ties with your Chamber of Commerce. Presumably Xuanfa Pavilion will no longer be entangled in this matter."
"Senior, this will harm the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce. There is no way I can agree to it!"
"Don't refuse in a hurry. You must also know the value of the fourth-level elixir." Li Zhirui shook his head with confidence.
This value not only refers to the high price, but also the interpersonal relationships brought about by selling the elixir!
You must know that those who need to purchase the fourth-level elixir are at least Nascent Soul Lord, and the identities and status of these people will bring huge potential benefits to the Nanya Chamber of Commerce.
"And, on the fourth-level elixir, we are willing to give your merchant a 10% profit!"
Li Zhirui smiled confidently: "I wonder if you are willing to agree now?"
The big shopkeeper was moved, the conditions offered by the Li family were really great! And they only need to lose some useless face to make this deal!
"This..." The big shopkeeper paused and said, "This matter is of great importance. I need to discuss it with the headquarters."
"Of course!" Li Zhirui said with a smile, and then planned to get up and leave.
Just as he was about to walk out of the room, Li Zhirui suddenly stopped and asked in an unclear manner: "I wonder when will your Chamber of Commerce's next supply fleet arrive?"
"There are still five months." The big shopkeeper didn't think too much, thinking that Li Zhirui was worried that the communication time would be too long and couldn't wait any longer, so he explained: "Senior, don't worry, I have a magic weapon in my hand that can directly contact the headquarters. You can get a reply in a few days.”
"Okay! Thank you for your hard work." Li Zhirui did not explain his real intention. It was not the time yet, and he still needed to prepare some things.
After putting down a few bottles of good-quality Zengyuan Dan, he opened the door and walked out.
The moment he came out, Li Zhirui's appearance and aura changed. They were completely different from his original appearance. No one would connect the two.
Naturally, the shopkeeper would not refuse the benefits offered by Li Zhirui. He took a look with his spiritual sense and said sincerely: "You live up to the name of a genius! This person is really likely to become a fourth-level alchemy master!"
