Chapter 1143

"Since the people of the Defa family know that we are targeting Kong, do they still know the true relationship between us and Luo Hu?" After a long silence, Huan Yin finally spoke again.

Huzi replied: "They definitely don't know this. After all, this is our deepest secret. Even few of our internal people know it. However, looking at their looks, they obviously don't care about us." Whether they are friends or enemies with Luo Hu, they are just trying to survive for their family and protect themselves. As for that, it is no longer important to them."

Huan Yin's expression softened slightly and he asked, "Are you serious?"

Huzi said: "It's absolutely true. So, in fact, we don't have to worry that they will be loyal to Rahu. From this point of view, we have the possibility of cooperating with them. From the perspective of my subordinates, we can cooperate with them first , reached a unanimous goal, targeted Ku, and destroyed Ku. From then on, when we control the entire west for eight days, we will see if they are honest or not..."

Nodding, Huan Yin said: "They don't care about Luo Hu, which is a blessing among misfortunes. Otherwise, once they are loyal to Luo Hu and draw them into the group, we will simply plant a bomb within ourselves. . So, as you said, we can work together temporarily in order to control the overall situation as soon as possible. As long as the overall situation is under control, there is no big problem in how we want to deal with them. Since you have approached us before, you should have talked to them, what are their conditions? "

Beard's face became a little unsightly, and he said: "We have indeed talked about it. According to them, during the heyday of their Defar family, more than 50% of the shops in the entire West joined their business. Alliance. This is why they have great influence throughout the West. In the past, even our Yan family joined their business alliance and they were the real business giants."

Huan Yin's face changed slightly, and he was obviously secretly surprised by Hu Hu's words. He thought to himself that it was a good thing that the Defa family was suppressed by Ku. Otherwise, if the Defa family had intervened in the previous business war, for such a giant, no matter how talented Donghuang Yu'er was, the outcome would have been difficult to predict. .

Huzi continued: "But today, they have long lost their former glory. Many merchants have turned to the military and withdrawn from their business alliances. There are many others, although they have not said it explicitly, but they have We have distanced ourselves from them. There are still a total of 5,024 loyal merchants under their control!"

"So many!" Huan Yin exclaimed. Only then did he truly know what "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse." You know, this is the strength during the period of decline and trough.

Huzi nodded and said: "Fellow Taoist Shadow Jue has verified this matter and they did not make a false report. Moreover, among the more than 5,000 merchants, there are many large ones with more than 100 stores and shops. There are quite a few. Therefore, even to this day, they are still deeply rooted in the Western Eight Heavens. For them, the Western Eight Heavens do not need to penetrate at all, and they already have enough control over too many resources and channels. , they also have their own business. This is their confidence, their capital for negotiating with us, and their real value to us! It’s just..."

"It's just that the conditions they offered are hard to accept, right?" Huan Yin had already had a premonition, so he spoke.

Beard smiled bitterly: "It's not that it's difficult to accept, but it's simply beyond our ability to accept it." Devapollo said that their merchants, on average, sell for five million fairy jade per household, not counting fractions, and all of them are sold us."

Huan Yin was stunned and said in disbelief: "Each household has five million, so that's five thousand households. Isn't it... isn't it..."

Huan Yin couldn't even describe the price, because he couldn't even imagine the price, not to mention using immortal jade, even if it were measured using spiritual stones or magic crystals. There are so many immortal jade, even if there is a Yan family standing behind him now, it is far from possible to possess them. Fairy jade of this magnitude would require many fairy jade veins to satisfy, and even a Great Heavenly King would have a hard time obtaining it.

Hu Zi said: "I asked fellow Taoist Shadow Jue to check. The average price of their merchants is five million, which is already a very low price. Some of their merchants are worth more than ten million. In fact, they are sincere. It’s just that their scale is too large and they involve too many businesses. They have gathered the financial resources of more than 5,000 merchants, which is still too scary for our Yan family who only owns one merchant.”

How could Huan Yin not understand what Huzi said? A large merchant only charges five million, which is indeed not expensive at all. But with such a large number, the financial resources they could collectively display were so amazing that it would be impossible for him to buy them all for a long time. However, this is another contradictory question. After all, the Defa family has gathered such a large number of merchants, so that it can truly help Huan Yin and be of actual value to Huan Yin. If they were just a few hundred merchants, Huan Yin wouldn't bother talking to them.

After a long while, Huan Yin finally asked: "Do they only accept the condition of selling to us?"

Beard nodded: "Yes, Devaboro said, they are businessmen, so they should do things as businessmen do. If they sell themselves to us, they will not have second thoughts and follow us in a down-to-earth manner. And they With enough fairy jade, even if something happens in the future, we can let our descendants find another place to settle down. "

Huan Yin said: "They bought themselves out to prevent me from targeting them again after killing Ku."

Then, he thought for a moment and said, "What if we don't buy it?"

Beard said: "Devapollo has made it clear that if we don't buy it, or if we don't finish it, he won't be able to explain it to the merchants in the alliance. In this way, if the negotiations break down, they can only protect themselves by taking our matters away." If you shake it out, the fish will die and the net will be broken.”

With a cold snort, Huan Yin said: "They want to use us to divert Ku's attention so that they can escape. So, do we have to buy it or not?"

Beard said: "Devapolo made it clear before March that he would give us half a year to think about it. If we can buy them within half a year, they will follow us and help us take down the dead. But if we buy If they don’t come down, there won’t be much time left for them, and they will definitely jump over the wall.”

"To this end, we also swore an oath in person. We both promised not to have any communication with Ku within half a year and wait for the results of the cooperation. In this way, at least within half a year, there will be no problems for both of us. Something happened."

"You did the right thing about this." Huan Yin nodded.

Huzi added: "In addition, I also made them swear another oath, asking them to promise that they will not change the price within six months, and each household only costs five million."

"Huh?" Huan Yin raised his eyebrows, obviously thinking of something. Then, he thought about it for a while and asked: "Are you sure they only swore an oath to ensure that the price per household remains unchanged, not the total price?"

Huzi nodded: "This is natural. After all, as time goes by, some merchants may withdraw from their alliance. They will ensure that the merchants who withdraw from the alliance do not know the core secrets between us. In this way, if their merchants change If there are fewer merchants, we will naturally pay less. However, those who remain today are die-hard members of the alliance. It is difficult for us to reduce the number of merchants... What's more, merchants all have their own strength. If there is one less merchant, we will have to pay less. There will be less power to draw on.”

Huan Yin shook his head repeatedly: "Otherwise, otherwise. If this is the case, this matter may be able to turn around. Call Shadow Lord back quickly, I need his help with something!"
