Chapter 1144 Buying a Store
Soon after, Huan Yin met Ying Jue. After some pleasantries, Huan Yin discovered that although Shadow Lord's cultivation had not improved much this year, he had become even more unpredictable. It was obvious that he was still making rapid progress in the field of intelligence during this year.
I think a year ago, Shadow Jue was the top person in the eight days of the West in terms of intelligence. Huan Yin had experienced his power personally. And to this day, in terms of intelligence, probably no one in the entire Western Eight Days can do anything to him.
Fortunately, Huan Yin and Ying Jue are on the same journey, and Ying Jue's progress is not terrible to him, but is a good thing. Huan Yin was also deeply grateful that he had made a wise decision by trying to win over Ying Jue a year ago.
The situation was urgent and there was not much time, so Huan Yin was not too polite. After the greetings, he went straight to the point and asked Shadow Lord: "Fellow Shadow Lord, how is our intelligence power developing now?"
Shadow Jue said confidently: "If I were here, even the military intelligence department would be toyed with by us. If I were not here, although there is still a gap between the military intelligence department and the military intelligence department, among the people, we Definitely No. 1! Especially the one named He Laowu. He is very smart. I have been constantly building and cultivating our intelligence power this year. He is the first one to stand out and the best one so far. It’s a great job!”
Huan Yin was very satisfied with Ying Jue's answer. He worked hard to find Shadow Lord. In addition to relying on Shadow Lord's own strength, he also hoped that he could help him cultivate talents. After all, the power of one person is always incomparable to the power of a team. What's more, the Shadow Lord will leave soon, and Huan Yin can't always have his help. But now, in just one year, even without Shadow Jue, Shadow Jue has trained his intelligence team to be the best among the people. Then in half a year, even if the Shadow Lord leaves and Huan Yin is here, there is no need to fear the intelligence office.
Nodding heavily, Huan Yin said: "Fellow Taoist Shadow Jue is really extraordinary. It's great to have you help. If that's the case, there happens to be an urgent matter now that we all need to do together. This matter is not difficult. , I believe that the people you train will not let me down.”
Shadow Lord said: "If it is related to intelligence and news, then there will definitely be no problem."
Huan Yin said: "I want you to collect information on the 5,024 merchants in the business alliance organized by the Defa family as soon as possible."
Shadow Lord asked: "What kind of news?"
Huan Yin said: "Any news, all news. From his business status, family treasures and property, to trivial matters, how many dogs he has at home, and what the family eats every day, I want to know!"
The Shadow Lord was silent for a moment and then asked: "How much time can you give me?"
Huan Yin said: "This matter is related to our negotiations with the Defa family. Naturally, the sooner the better. It is best if you organize people to investigate the situation of several families first. I will use it first, and then you can continue the investigation. . I will use it as I investigate. There are still three months until the final negotiation. Within three months, I will get as much leverage as you can investigate."
Although Ying Jue didn't understand what Huan Yin was planning, he also knew that the task assigned by Huan Yin was of great importance. He thought about it and thought about the information about more than 5,000 merchants. Although it was not difficult to check, the amount of information was too large and it took too much time. So, he finally said: "I will personally participate in this matter. I will organize all available intelligence forces to investigate. The first batch of information will be sent to you in three hours."
After saying that, Shadow Jue turned into blue smoke and disappeared without a trace.
Three and a half hours later, Huan Yin appeared in a rather unusual market with a beard. The reason why this place is abnormal is that this market is extremely deserted. Even if you just take a casual look, among the rows of shops, at least five of the ten shops in a row are closed, and there are no merchants at all. Moreover, there are not many people walking around on the streets here. Instead, there are a lot of fallen leaves and dust in many places on the streets. This phenomenon is completely opposite to the eight-day bustling trading scene in the entire West. It seems that there is something bad here that makes people reluctant to come and do business.
As Huan Yin walked, he kept looking at the contents on the jade slip in his hand, nodding occasionally. He didn't seem to think that the situation here was strange, and what he was holding in his hand was the first batch of information that Shadow Lord got back, which was the information about the five Deva Family Alliance merchants in Mandala Tian that he had just investigated. Various situations.
Huan Yin was extremely satisfied with this first batch of information. Because this information not only came so quickly, but was also comprehensive, even the number of pairs of shoes placed under the bed of each merchant's owner was clearly recorded.
It seems that Shadow Lord's ability is really extraordinary. And under the guidance of Shadow Lord, the entire intelligence team has really made rapid progress this year. Otherwise, with such a massive amount of information, no matter how powerful Shadow Jue is, he would not be able to handle it without help.
Huzi followed Huan Yin and looked at Huan Yin with a puzzled expression. He still didn't know what kind of medicine Huan Yin was selling in the gourd.
In his opinion, there is no possibility of reaching an agreement in negotiating with the Defa family. Because the Defa family's business alliance is too large, it is impossible for their side to complete the acquisition. What he wanted to discuss with Huan Yin was that he wanted Huan Yin to make a decision on how to deal with the sudden situation, and even find a way to destroy the Defa family and Ku at the same time. But looking at the current situation, Huan Yin seems to really want to promote negotiations between the two parties?
"Even if the Defa family gives us another 50% discount, we can't afford it. What on earth are you thinking?" Huzi became more and more confused as he thought about it.
Soon after, Huan Yin walked to a well-decorated attic on the street with a beard. Although, there is still no one doing business in front of this loft. Then, Huan Yin stood still, and his beard also stopped.
Turning around and looking at the pavilion, he saw that the three characters "Feifeng Tower" were written on the plaque in front of the building. Huan Yin nodded and said to Hu Hu: "According to the information, this Feifeng Tower is the merchant of the Defa family. He is one of the members of the alliance, and he seems to be a core member, loyal to the Defa family."
No information is needed, Huzi knows this Feifeng Tower. Because when Defarpolo came to talk to him, Liu Feifeng, the owner of Feifeng Tower, was with him. Although Liu Feifeng didn't say a word during the negotiation, it can be felt from his performance that he obeyed Defarpolo's words.
So Huzi nodded and said: "Although Feifenglou does not have many stores like other chain merchants, this one store is comparable to many ordinary stores with dozens or more. They are the Mando Luo Tian is a time-honored brand, its business has been huge, and it only sells high-end products.”
Huan Yin laughed: "Then tell me, how much fairy jade does it cost to buy such a Feifeng Tower?"
Huan Yin asked Huan Yin a little confused. He obviously didn't expect that Huan Yin came to buy Feifeng Tower. After reacting for a long time, he said: "Your Majesty, don't look at it. The entire street here is because of the existence of Feifenglou, a die-hard loyalist of the Defar Family Business Alliance, and was suppressed by the Kuhe military forces, so it appears that It's deserted, and it looks like it can't do business at all. But the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, not to mention that Feifeng Tower is not dead yet, its value is probably close to 50 million immortal jade, and it may even be more than that. If you come here to buy it alone, then... isn't that going to cause trouble for you? Moreover, the boss of Feifeng Tower is a loyal supporter of the Defa Family Business Alliance, so he can't sell it to you alone. "
Huan Yin, as Huzi said, knew that both the situation in Feifeng Tower and Ku's suppression of them had even affected the entire nearby city. Because this is clearly written on the jade slip in his hand. However, Huan Yin smiled even brighter and said, "How will you know if you don't try?"
After saying that, he stopped staying and walked into Feifeng Tower first. He stood there with a beard and a blank look on his face. It was obvious that he had not yet realized why Huan Yin's plan using a large amount of intelligence forces was so absurd. .
Entering the attic, Huan Yin quickly found the counter with his beard. This is the time of day when people doing business have the least activity, not to mention there are not many people doing business here. As a result, even the waiter on duty behind the counter was dozing off.
Huan Yin gently knocked on the counter three times. The waiter was obviously awakened by Huan Yin from his sweet dream, so he was startled and frowned at the same time.
When he opened his eyes, he saw two people standing in front of him, one in front of him and the other in front of him. The one in the front has a smile on his face, while the one in the back is vaguely confused.
The waiter has been working in Feifeng Tower for at least ten years. Although his status has always been ordinary, he still has a discerning eye for people. Therefore, even if he had just woken up and vaguely distinguished each other, he could feel the extremely good temperament of the two people in front of him. Especially the person standing in front who was obviously the person in charge made him feel a magnanimity that a non-super-large customer could not have. Therefore, even though he was unhappy because his sweet dream was disturbed, when he thought that the store that had not had business for a long time might now have a big business, he quickly put on a somewhat awkward smile on his face in a professional manner.
"Two gentlemen, what do you want to buy?" Finally, the waiter spoke.
"I'll buy your store." Huan Yin looked at the waiter with a smile and said softly.
However, no matter how gentle Huan Yin's tone was, the waiter was obviously stunned at this moment. After reacting for a long time, a word rolled out of his throat: "Huh?"
