Chapter 447 Negotiation
As a Jindan monk, Li Chenghao is enough to represent the Li family, and he doesn't know about the conspiracy between the family and the Nanya Chamber of Commerce, so he doesn't have to worry about being probed by Xuanfa Pavilion.
Then Li Zhirui used the messenger talisman to call Li Chenghao over and said face to face: "Chenghao, I am giving you a very important task now. I hope you can complete it well."
Li Chenghao was stunned for a moment. He had just returned to Ten Thousand Immortals Island a few days ago and was about to recuperate and complete his own magic weapon. However, he did not expect that his family would give him this task.
"Uncle Ninth, please tell me! I will do my best to not let the family down!" When he came to his senses, Li Chenghao quickly promised.
"Okay!" Li Zhirui was very satisfied with his reaction and immediately told him everything about the family's decision to cooperate with Xuanfa Pavilion, including the various conditions proposed by the family.
Li Chenghao frowned and said hesitantly: "But, the Nanya Chamber of Commerce..."
"Since we have decided to cooperate with Xuanfa Pavilion, we will naturally not have any contact with Nanya Chamber of Commerce." Li Zhirui pretended to be helpless.
"If Xuanfa Pavilion doesn't believe it, the family can make a public statement and sever ties with the Nanya Chamber of Commerce."
Li Chenghao was silent for a moment. Although he didn't care much about worldly affairs, it didn't mean that he was a fool. He knew that the family made this decision as a last resort after weighing the pros and cons.
"Uncle Jiu, don't worry, I will definitely complete this matter!"
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Zhirui said with a pleased look on his face: "It's getting late today. Wait until you set off tomorrow to go to Wanleizhou and Xuanfa Pavilion to discuss this matter."
"good!"
Li Chenghao asked some more emphatically questions. After getting the answers, he stood up and left.
"When the dust settles on this matter, remember to tell Cheng Hao the truth." Li Shiqing said from the side.
Li Zhirui nodded in agreement, "Second Grandpa, don't worry, I won't forget it."
Afterwards, he took the initiative to tell Li Chenghao and waited for Li Chenghao to find out on his own in the future. The results were naturally different.
——
"The great shopkeeper, Li Chenghao, the real person of the Li family's golden elixir from Wanxian Island, is here to visit." A servant in gray clothes knocked on the heavy and luxurious door in front of him.
"Oh?" Fu Qinghuan, the head shopkeeper of Xuanfa Pavilion Wanleizhou, raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing the words outside the door, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and whispered to himself: "It seems that the Li family has done something this time The right choice."
"Ask him to wait in the living room for a moment, I'll be there right away!"
"Yes!" The servant responded, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
Fu Qinghuan was not going to take Qiao, but planned to report it to the headquarters first, so that they could make a decision as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams and trouble.
"Ninth Elder, the Li family of Ten Thousand Immortals Island has sent someone to discuss it. It seems that they have decided to cooperate with us. We hope that the headquarters can issue a contract as soon as possible." Fu Qinghuan, who contacted the headquarters thousands of miles away through a special magic weapon, said Su said quickly.
"Okay, I understand." The ninth elder responded and closed the magic weapon.
This kind of magic weapon that can be contacted thousands of miles away requires a large amount of spiritual stones and mana, whether it is activated or maintained, so it is generally rarely used.
If I have to use it, I will try to refine my words as much as possible to avoid consuming too much time.
After doing all this, Fu Qinghuan hurried to the living room to receive Li Chenghao, the golden elixir master who represented the Li family.
"I hope fellow Taoist Li will forgive me for keeping you waiting for so long!" Fu Qinghuan put on a humble posture as soon as he entered the door.
"Fellow Daoist Fu, you are serious. I haven't sat down for half a quarter of an hour." Li Chenghao came to seek cooperation, so naturally he would not make a arrogant gesture.
When Fu Qinghuan heard this, he was sure that the Li family was indeed willing to cooperate. He was not ambiguous at the moment and asked directly: "I don't know why my friend came here this time?"
The reason why Li Chenghao was not exposed directly was that he naturally wanted to take the initiative so that Xuanfa Pavilion could have more favorable conditions for the subsequent contract.
"Of course he came to seek cooperation." Li Chenghao saw the other party's trick, but he was not prepared to continue according to his routine, let alone waste time by pretending.
Instead, he chose to use strength to overcome skill, and laid out the Li family's conditions very directly, saying: "This is the family's condition. If fellow Taoist people think it is okay, we will sign the contract directly."
As the saying goes, ask for a high price and pay back on the spot, and this is the case in this contract. Most of the conditions are in favor of the Li family.
If cooperation can be achieved through this, the Li family will naturally be happy, but if it fails, it doesn't matter. The Li family still has several contracts, as long as it does not break the Li family's bottom line.
Fu Qinghuan was stunned. He didn't expect the Li family to be so direct. He reached out and took the jade slip and looked at it. His face suddenly darkened, and his tone was not as gentle as before. He said firmly: "Fellow Taoist, if the Li family is like this If you have this attitude, then it’s okay not to talk about this cooperation!”
Among the dozens of conditions in the contract, not one of them is beneficial to Xuanfa Pavilion!
If he dares to agree, he will lose his head tomorrow!
Li Chenghao was not surprised, and said with a smile: "If fellow Taoist disciples are dissatisfied with anything, we can just discuss it. There is no need to get angry."
Fu Qinghuan felt a lump in his throat and said after a while: "Okay."
While the two were discussing, the elders at the Xuanfa Pavilion headquarters were also discussing the matter.
Like the Nanya Chamber of Commerce, Xuanfa Pavilion is also run by elders, but the number is not that large, only nine elders.
After a heated discussion, everyone got a contract that was slightly biased towards the interests of Xuanfa Pavilion.
After all, the Li family is asking for help from others, and of course they have to pay some price. Otherwise, why would they agree to cooperate with you?
The Li family also took this aspect into consideration, so they gave Li Chenghao certain authority. As long as it did not harm the interests of the family too much, they could agree to it.
It was mainly Li Zhirui's idea. If he didn't cooperate with the two major chambers of commerce, there would be no way to proceed to the second step.
"Wait a minute, fellow Taoist, you have something important to do with me at the headquarters." Fu Qinghuan saw the old servant suddenly appearing at the door, and immediately realized something and said quickly.
"Okay." Li Chenghao smiled and watched him leave.
At present, both sides are testing each other's bottom line, but he knows in his heart that the one who will give in in the end must be the Li family.
Fu Qinghuan stood in front of the messenger magic weapon and quickly wrote down the various conditions agreed upon by the elders at the headquarters.
In the end, he was surprised to find that the headquarters did not push too far, but chose to give up when it was good. Apparently, they were also worried that the Li family would defect to the Nanya Chamber of Commerce.
You know, with Wanlei State as the center and several nearby states, there is only Li Zhirui, a quasi-fourth-level alchemy master!
In other words, whoever controls the Li family channel will be able to control, or even monopolize, the high-end elixir markets in several nearby states!
