Main Text Chapter 859: De Ming's Changes

How could Miao Yi care about the money for a little furniture? However, he was impressed by Taoist Deming's increasingly businessmanlike demeanor. The change was obvious. He was no longer the obedient and honest Taoist priest back then. His face became more shrewd. mean.

"Taoist master, you have learned to beat around the bush. If you have anything to say, just say it directly." Miao Yi chuckled.

Deming was silent for a while and said slowly: "I know what the layman means, and I feel that I am speaking for Xiahou Longcheng. Not only the layman, but also the headmaster and the master uncle have no good impressions of Xiahou Longcheng. They think he is hateful, and they all I think it's a shame, but what I want to say is that it's not easy to gain a foothold in Tianjie. We, Zhengqimen, came here with a beautiful dream, and we came to Tianjie almost with our bare hands. We have neither power nor power. We don’t have enough financial resources. If it weren’t for the layman’s hard work to help the grocery store open up, how could Zhengzheng Grocery Store be what it is today? I believe the layman best understands how difficult it is for a grocery store to survive in Tianjie. I’m not helping Xiahou. Longcheng said, although the two percent contribution to Xiahou Longcheng is a lot, I think it is worth it. Without Xiahou Longcheng's relationship, the grocery store would have been squeezed out long ago, and it would not be the same as it is today. "

"Yeah! I also think it's worth it." Miao Yi nodded and looked at him, knowing that he probably wanted to say more than that.

Deming was a little excited and said: "But the headmaster and the two uncles don't think so. They think that my flattery behavior is no different from a despicable villain and goes against the purpose of Zhengqimen. I am under great pressure here." . There are some things they don’t know. The master is in charge of the Zhengqi Sect, Master Yu Lian is obsessed with his own things, but Master Yuxu is here and almost never leaves the house. I am almost alone in the business inside and outside. I know better than them how difficult it is to run a grocery store with a background like Zhengqimen. It doesn't matter that the grocery store can't continue to operate. Zhengqimen has trained twelve Golden Lotus monks in just a few hundred years. We have thousands of disciples, but it is impossible without the financial support of the grocery store. Once the grocery store collapses, Zhengqimen needs strength but no strength, no financial resources, and no background. Where is the way out? "

"The grocery store collapsed?" Miao Yi asked suspiciously: "Is the matter so serious?"

Deming shook his head and said: "I am not an alarmist. If Xiahou Longcheng hadn't stepped forward to stop the disaster, and Huangfu Junxi had provided news support and many suggestions, the grocery store would have collapsed before the layman came back. ”

"Huangfu Junyi also helped?" Miao Yi was very surprised.

Deming said: "Yes! Because the operation of the grocery store threatens the pill-making business of Qunying Guild Hall, Huangfu Junyan initially visited the house and directly talked to Master Yuxu. Saying that our appetite is too big is not a good thing for us. . He hoped that the grocery store would give up the business of selling pills, but Master Yuxu refused. Later, Huangfu Junyan went to Wuxiang Star to talk to the boss. The boss said that everyone was in fair competition, but the boss and uncle also refused at that time. The ideas are too simple. There is no such thing as fair competition in business matters. It is not a lie to say that there is no business without treachery. It is also true that we don’t have to drink wine as a penalty. Huangfu Junyan turned around and said hello to Xiahou Longcheng. The situation has been explained before. Xiahou Longcheng immediately forced us to give up the business of Jiedan, otherwise we would close the shop and arrest people. The leader also knew that there was no reason at all. "

Naturally, Miao Yi had already learned about Xiahou Longcheng's character. He nodded slightly and asked, "How did Huangfu Junyan help us? How can she be so kind and help us for no reason?"

"In business, she will naturally not help us for no reason. Helping us must be beneficial to her. After forcing us to withdraw from the Jie Dan business, she came to us again and said that in order to compensate us, she would remove the Qunying Club except Jie Dan. All the other gains were supplied to us and became our largest supplier. Lay people should know that the Qunying Association is huge and has many masters. It’s hard to know how much they harvest every year. It’s true that they spread out all kinds of miscellaneous things. It is inconvenient, and our messy items are shipped quickly. They send them to us for sale, which only benefits them and does no harm to them. It can be said to be mutually beneficial to everyone. I once asked her why, and she said that even her Qunying Club was doing it. If you don't dare to monopolize all the sales and only deal in Dan Dan, how can you, a righteous grocery store, think about taking it all? This statement can be said to wake up the dreamer! The development of things later confirmed her words! , some shop forces united to take action against us, but we had no information. Afterwards, I realized that it was she who secretly disclosed the information in advance and reminded me to go to Xiahou Longcheng for help, which allowed Zhengqi Men to escape the disaster. He once told me that when doing business, I should learn more from lay people, and if I have a relationship, I should do it no matter how hard I try to gain relationships. He said that I am more than a little behind lay people in this aspect. "

"Is she praising me or scolding me?" Miao Yi touched his nose.

"I could see that she actually admired the layman very much. She said that the layman had finally helped Zhengqi Men find a new way to find a bright future, but we didn't know how to cherish and use it. It was a waste of natural resources. She even said that if the layman is willing to go She is willing to give you the seat of the manager of our Qunying Club." At this point, Deming asked tentatively, "What do you think?"

Miao Yi chuckled and said: "I'm not interested in the shopkeeper of the Qunying Hall, because I don't want to be manipulated by others. Of course, with her beauty, if she is willing to be my concubine, I will be quite happy. She is a beauty, no No man can ever have too much.”

In response to this, Deming could only laugh dryly and did not want to make any more comments, and continued: "Later, someone wanted to imitate the business of a grocery store, and it was she who taught us how to suppress it behind the scenes, and secretly helped us crush our competitors. . The crisis that the grocery store is facing now is also her reminder. Although the grocery store has established a foothold in Tianyuan Star and no one can match it, there are so many Tianjies in Hunyuan World. Once others open up the situation in other places and operate the brand Come out, establish a foothold, and have sufficient supply of goods. If we counterattack Tianyuanxing, our grocery store will not be the opponent of others. She said, since you have entered this industry, if you don't compete with others, others will take the initiative. There is no reason to argue with you because of the interests. She already has news that someone is secretly hoarding supplies and will open in another Tianjie when the time comes. She asked us to hurry up before the other party gets up. If we go to other Tianjies to open branches, she will use her connections with Qunying Club to help us get land in other Tianjies.”

Miao Yi thought briefly. Said: "It's a good thing, but you have to understand that even if she has the connections to help us get the land, the land in Tianjie is not cheap, not to mention that there are more than one places to buy, and we simply cannot afford it financially."

Deming: "She said she could help find connections to get the land. We don't have enough money to buy the land, so Qunying Guild Hall can find a way to raise it and lend it to us."

"Is there such a good thing?" Miao Yi suddenly said with a vigilant look on his face: "Taoist Master, don't let the benefits get to your head. This woman will never do anything wrong, and there is no good thing that comes to her door. You have to be more careful."

Deming said: "Of course her help will not be in vain. She will help us get land and borrow money at the cost of it. She wants us to own 20% of the Zhengqi grocery store. In other words, Qunying Guild Hall will use this to acquire 20% of the shares. Once the matter is completed, we will become Zhengqi in the future. The heroes will not stand by if the grocery store is in trouble."

Miao Yi frowned and said: "My place is 20%, Xiahou Longcheng is 20%, Qunying Guild Hall is getting another 20%, and the grocery store has to spend 10% of its profits every year to manage relationships, so doesn't Zhengqimen only have 30% left? "

Deming said hurriedly: "It seems like a loss, but in fact it is not. Think about it, layman. Which is more important, 30% in one place or 30% in ten places? As long as it is done well, the benefits of Zhengqimen will be greater. The harvest is far from It can be compared now. What’s more important is that with the help of the background relationship between Xiahou Longcheng and Qunying Guild, our business will be much more secure in the future, and our network of contacts will also be expanded, which will be beneficial to Zhengqimen’s future development.”

Miao Yi was still puzzled, "Why doesn't Qunying Guild do such a good thing? Why does it have to work hard on us?"

Deming smiled bitterly and said: "As I said, Qunying Guild doesn't dare to reach out everywhere. They have gone too far in occupying the business of Jiedan. They can only do this secretly behind their backs and will not stand up openly, otherwise This benefit will not fall into our hands. The only thing we need to worry about is that when the business becomes bigger, it will attract the attention of more powerful people, and maybe they will be thinking about getting involved. "

Miao Yi nodded and asked: "What about the manpower? You are expanding everywhere, what can you do if there is no one? The control of the business must be in your own hands before you can rest assured. Your strength and background are not as good as others. If you don't even have the same control as others, Sooner or later, they will be eaten to the point where no bones are left."

Deming: "The Zhengqi Sect has always been very selective about accepting disciples. The sudden acceptance of thousands of disciples was not the intention of the leader and others, but the result of secret consultations between me and the fellow apprentices. All disciples are apprentices. Please seize the time." After the business expansion, there will be no shortage of manpower. The Zhengqi Sect concentrated resources to support the twelve Purple Lotus disciples to Jinlian. It was also the result of me cleverly setting up the name and trying my best to persuade the head and the two master uncles. These Jinlian disciples will be sent to Jinlian in the future. It’s just right to be a shopkeeper in any place.”

Miao Yi chuckled and said, "Since you are ready and confident, just go ahead and do it. I don't have any objections."

"The key is that the headmaster and the two uncles can't get through it. They are worried that the Zhengqi Sect will deteriorate sooner or later, and they are reluctant to let the Jinlian disciples in the sect come to the grocery store to study. If they don't learn, they will understand nothing. In the future How can I be released as a shopkeeper? The master doesn't agree, and I have no right to expand the grocery store's business!" Deming was heartbroken and looked like he would never miss the opportunity again.

Miao Yi was silent, he understood that the worries of Yu Ling Sect and others were not unreasonable. The disciples in the sect were expanding rapidly and they were involved in the whirlpool of interests. It would be difficult to maintain the simplicity of the upright sect.

Looking at De Ming, who has an anxious look on his face, he can push a group of brothers to recruit thousands of disciples. It is obvious that this guy has won the support of most people in the sect. It is like that under this guy's secret control, the Zhengqi Sect has become a center. The lower levels have serious differences with the views of the Yuling leader and others.

Miao Yi was very suspicious. If the head of Yuling was not his father, and Deming had the support of Xiahou Longcheng and Qunying Guild Hall, and the popular aspirations of most of the Zhengqi disciples, he might not be able to use Yuling as an excuse. It's a matter of being the leader, because this guy already has this strength.

He also understood what Deming meant. He wanted to intervene. He frowned and said, "Taoist Master, it's not appropriate for me to interfere in the internal affairs of Zhengqimen. Besides, I have no right to interfere."

Deming immediately said eagerly: "What the layman said is wrong. It is indeed inconvenient for you to interfere, but you are different from me. I am a disciple of the Zhengqi Sect, and you are just a guest. The most important thing is that the layman has 20% of the Zhengqi grocery store." Equity, you are one of the owners, you have the right to intervene in the operation of Zhengqi Grocery Store, and you have the right to intervene in how it develops! "

Miao Yi was speechless. Once the Zhengqi Sect put all its focus on business, the Zhengqi Sect would be ruined. It would be empty talk to maintain the idea of ​​"the world has righteousness". In the face of the corruption of interests, righteousness and conscience can only surrender, and interests will be the top priority.

In this regard, the Great Palace Master Miao has a deep understanding. He has felt that he is not the same as he was in the past. He is very good at doing immoral things. In some aspects, his conscience has been eaten by dogs. Therefore, the Zhengqi Sect has a precious side in his eyes. He really can't bear to destroy them, so he hesitated and said: "Let's talk about this later. I am in trouble myself. The robbery of Lingdao has not been explained clearly..."

De Ming waved his hand and interrupted: "This is not a big deal. I will go to Xiahou Longcheng and Huangfu Junman. With their operation, this matter has nothing to do with the layman." (To be continued. Please search for Piaotian Literature. The novel is better and updated faster!
