……
Afterwards, except for the gradual changes in Wang Zongan's bloodline, nothing seemed to happen.
He still completed the work of an ordinary disciple conscientiously every day. He practiced when it was time to practice. He just took the time to buy some extra "spiritual mushrooms", and then with the help of his fifth aunt Wang Luojing, he made a simple I bought a mini ice crystal iron cold storage and rented a Spirit Bird Flying Chariot to take the mini cold storage filled with mushrooms to Ping'an Town.
As for the matter of the Immortal Tree Spirit Seed, after a lot of commotion for a while, it gradually disappeared because there was no evidence to prove who had obtained the spirit seed.
For a long time afterwards, the ownership of the immortal tree spirit species became an unsolved mystery, and it was once ranked at the bottom of the "Top Ten Unsolved Mysteries of Zifu Academy".
Until many years later...
Forget it, this is something for later, let’s not mention it for now.
Back to now.
At this moment, calm has gradually returned to the academy. But in the South Six Guards, due to a series of new strategies of Qian's Trading Company, the originally peaceful situation was broken, and under the water, there began to be frequent undercurrents.
This day.
The main residence of the Wang family in Ping'an Town.
In a side hall specially used for entertaining guests, Qian Xue'an, the former head of Qian's Trading Company who looked quite blessed, was bitterly complaining to Wang Shouzhe: "Brother Shouzhe~ you I, Qian Xue'an, have worked hard for so many years and how much profit have I created for the family? As a result, that little kid in his twenties kicked me away as soon as he came. Hey, it's hard to be a bastard, not to mention me. I’m just a **** with a straight lineage, no one can take me seriously, it’s too humble~”
"Brother Qian, don't be angry." Wang Shouzhe smiled and made him a cup of spiritual tea, "You have worked hard for Qian for decades, so you can take this opportunity to take a rest and go out to play. Take some time to relax. If the money is not enough, I have something for you."
"That's enough, that's enough~" Qian Xue'an hurriedly stood up and pressed the tea cup to express his respect for Wang Shouzhe, "I bought a house in Baidaowei before. The scenery there is beautiful, and there are many people there every day. You can fish. By the way, the fishing rod you got me, Shouzhe, is called a lure rod. It’s really nice and interesting."
After a pause, he sighed again: "Shouzhe, to be honest, I, Lao Qian, am just a little unwilling. That kid doesn't have all the hair on his mouth, so he wants to control Nan Liuwei's business, but he doesn't want to I don’t know if there will be any stupid tricks, haha~~ Your Wang family and your in-laws are in alliance, I’m afraid..."
"Brother Qian, I, Shouzhe, only recognize you as Qian's business partner." Wang Shouzhe smiled casually, "Don't worry, you can cultivate yourself with peace of mind first, and take this opportunity to spend more on cultivation. Work hard. With your qualifications, you have to reach the realm of heaven and humanity, right? There is still a long time to come. You are just a young boy. I will vent your anger for you later."
Qian Xue'an's blood qualifications are not bad, otherwise it would not be possible for him to reach this point with his status as a mere bastard.
With the "resources" he currently has at his disposal, he still has a chance to rival the Celestial Beings.
"With Shouzhe's words, I, Lao Qian, can rest assured." Qian Xue'an was overjoyed.
He came to Wang's specifically for this sentence.
Obviously, Wang Shouzhe is a man who misses his old love. The friendship the two formed when they were still young played a decisive role at this moment.
"Qian Xuerui, I'm afraid he has never experienced the power of Shouzhe." Recalling that boy Qian Xuerui, he couldn't help but sneered again, "In this case, I can really 'build momentum' for him . As the saying goes, the higher you climb, the harder you fall. This time, the family’s face may be lost by him.”
The two chatted for a few more words and reminisced about their old friendship, and Wang Shouzhe arranged for Qian Xue'an to stay in the VIP building.
After a while, a young and middle-aged man with gorgeous clothes and a calm demeanor walked in under the guidance of the maid.
He wears a tripod jade crown on his head, and his temperament and appearance are quite good, but he is only a step behind Wang Shouzhe.
Behind him, there was also a heroic young man of eighteen or nineteen years old.
This young man is restrained in spirit and has good cultivation. His eyebrows are somewhat similar to Wang Shouzhe's.
"Xiu Wu meets his uncle."
The heroic young man took the lead to step forward and salute respectfully, his eyes seeming to have admiration and admiration for Wang Shouzhe.
These two men are naturally Chen Fangjie, the current patriarch of the Chen family in Donggang, and Chen Xiuwu, the young patriarch.
After the three of them had seen the ceremony, the maid came over to replace them with new tea and fruits.
"Xiu Wu, it seems that you have been practicing very hard recently, and your cultivation has reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm." Wang Shouzhe looked at Chen Xiu Wu with admiration and praised, "Work hard and strive to step into the Qi Refining Realm before the age of twenty-five. Entering the Lingtai realm."
"Thank you for the compliment, uncle." Chen Xiuwu was secretly excited by the praise.
My uncle was his idol since he was a child.
The Chen family of today is no longer the Chen family of the past. Today, there are eight Lingtai realm monks in the clan, including Wang Shouzhe's biological sister Wang Luoyi and his brother-in-law Chen Fangjie.
As the young patriarch of the Chen family, Chen Xiuwu naturally had no shortage of cultivation resources since childhood. This level of cultivation advancement speed is already faster than that of ordinary young patriarchs of seventh-grade families.
"Shou Zhe, the Qian family is launching an attack this time, trying to increase the commission on consigned goods from 20% to 50%. What do you think of this matter?" Chen Fangjie's "majestic" brows showed a slight hint of A hint of worry.
In Longzuo County, the Zifu Qian family is a giant family. Their trading houses are spread throughout Longzuo County, with big trees and deep roots and broad connections. The Chen family, Wang family and other in-law families are all tied together, and they are far inferior to each other.
Draw red envelopes!
"Don't rush this matter. We'll discuss it together when several of our allied families arrive." Wang Shouzhe smiled calmly, as if he already had a countermeasure in mind.
Seeing Wang Shouzhe's attitude, Chen Fangjie suddenly relaxed a lot. He temporarily put his worries aside and chatted with Wang Shouzhe about family matters.
Chen Fangjie and Wang Luoyi have been married for many years and have given birth to three children. In addition to the eldest son Chen Xiuwu, the eldest daughter is also 14 years old, and they also have a six-year-old son.
They are now in Wang Shouzhe's yard, accompanied by Liu Ruolan.
Wang Shouzhe has been keeping Wang Luoyi's original boudoir for her so that she can take her children back to the Wang family to stay for a while every year. It's just that brother-in-law Chen Fangjie doesn't necessarily have that much free time.
The Chen family has been developing rapidly. Now that he is the leader of the Chen family, he needs to deal with all aspects of things, so naturally he does not have that much free time.
Wang Shouzhe had already arranged for someone to invite him. As they chatted and waited, some representatives of the Wang Family Related Interest Alliance entered the side hall one after another.
Among them are Gongsun Yan, the patriarch of the Gongsun clan in Shanyang, Liu Yuanhui, the clan leader of the Liu clan in Shanyin, Lu Xiaoxiao, the "elder" of the Lingtai realm of the Yingxiu Lu clan, Xu Anbang, the clan leader of the Xu clan in Changning, and the Lei clan of Tianren. The head of the family, Lei Yangyu, and the head of the Jinsha Xu family, Xu Anze.
Because Wang Shouzhe was young and promising and rose rapidly, the older generation of many in-law families passed on the position of head of the family to the younger generation. In this way, they would have more common language and interactions with Wang Shouzhe.
Although Lu Xiaoxiao of the Lu family is not the head of the family, because she and Wang Shouzhe are very close blood cousins, she often communicates and joins forces with the Wang family on behalf of the Lu family.
All families are related by marriage to the Wang family in Changning, and they "vaguely" agree with the outside world to form an alliance.
However, at this moment, everyone was chatting with each other, but the atmosphere was slightly depressed.
Obviously, Qian's actions put considerable pressure on the in-law alliance.
Lei's Lei Yangyu is the biggest "leader". He drank the spirit tea and said angrily: "Shouzhe, who is that little guy Qian Xuerui? He dares to do it on our territory. He is so high-spirited and arrogant. If it weren’t for the Qian family standing behind him, I would definitely let him never come back!"
Xu Anbang, the head of the Xu family in Changning, also said worriedly: "Shouzhe, our joint silk industry is originally following the low-price dumping route. The market has expanded greatly in recent years. If the Qian family's withdrawal from 20% suddenly rises, To 50%, our profits will become very slim."
"This is not the most terrifying thing." Xu Anze, the head of the Jinsha Xu family, said angrily, "I am afraid that some people will be greedy and swallow the elephant. Today we swallowed our hearts and agreed to a 50% draw. In a few years, he will rise to 50%. 60%. Is it possible that our family worked hard to build the industry, but in the end we ended up working for nothing for the Qian family?"
"But everyone, what can we do if we don't agree to the Qian family?" Gongsun Yan's voice was a little low, "We are slightly less dependent on the Qian family for cement and foreign glass. But for grain seeds, For the purchase and sale of silk and various other materials, we need to rely on Qian's channels and connections. If we can't sell it, won't the goods pile up like mountains?"
Wang Shouzhe drank tea slowly, without even twitching his eyelids, and continued to listen to everyone's complaints.
"Cousin Shouzhe." Lu Xiaoxiao, who is now in her thirties and a mature beauty, said sweetly, "No matter what you decide, I, Mrs. Lu, will follow you."
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their attention to Wang Shouzhe, the soul of the in-law alliance.
Wang Shouzhe has always been a person who is good at creating miracles.
It is precisely because of his backbone that the in-law alliance has developed so smoothly over the years and they have become rich together.
This time, they also hope that Wang Shouzhe can find a way to communicate with Qian's senior management through personal connections and return to the previous cooperation model.
"Actually speaking, Qian has his own unique platform and sales channels." Wang Shouzhe smiled calmly and said, "Businessmen are profit-seeking, so there is nothing wrong with seeking more benefits for themselves."
"Cousin, do you mean compromise?" Gongsun Yan's eyes showed slight disappointment.
But this is also a helpless matter. The Qian family is a dignified Zifu family. Who can defeat them?
"There's nothing wrong with compromising." Lu Xiaoxiao said, "Maybe this will slow down the development of our in-law alliance, but it's better than directly cutting off our financial resources. While compromising, we can also expand new channels, and slowly Get rid of dependence on Qian."
Wang Shouzhe glanced at Lu Xiaoxiao appreciatively.
Although this cousin was a delicate girl when she was a child, as she grew older, she gradually took on the burden of the family and her thinking became more and more mature.
Lu Xiaoxiao’s words aroused the approval of other family heads in the in-law alliance.
To be honest, none of them have the capital or confidence to confront Qian.
"I have also said that there is nothing wrong with pursuing profits. After all, I, Wang Shouzhe, am also a profit-seeking person. If there were no old money to support me, to be honest, I would not want Qian to earn the 20% of the turnover. ." Wang Shouzhe's expression gradually became serious, "Everyone must have noticed it. No matter which senior sister you are, channel is king. No matter how good your product is, if the sales channel is monopolized by others, you will not be able to sell your product no matter how good it is. ”
"Shou Zhe means..." Liu Yuanhui's eyes lit up, "Are you going to leave Qian alone and do it alone? What a good idea. The 20% Qian takes is the turnover, which is a lot of money."
"Shuzhe, think twice~" Although Lei Yangyu jumped very hastily before, he is the head of the old Tianren family after all, and he is more aware of the power of the Zifu family, "Qian's business is spread all over Longzuo, and all The Acropolis has an excellent relationship with them. In addition, their transportation channels have been operated for hundreds of years, and their methods and advantages are not something we can learn. Moreover, land transportation often passes through remote roads in the countryside... Do you understand this?"
If he wants to compete with the Qian family in the transportation industry, Lei Yangyu is not optimistic about everyone at all. They also do not have the ability to establish a trading house with connections throughout Longzuo County in a short period of time.
Lei Yangyu’s words made everyone fall into deep thought.
The Qian family is such a big family and has a big business. A slight jam in some places can make it even more difficult for the in-laws to form an alliance.
The most important thing is that if you want to build a heavy transportation channel like Qian's, the funds and manpower involved are massive. How can they compete with Qian's hundreds of years of business!
"Everyone, if you are tired from the meeting, let's try the mushroom soup first."
Wang Shouzhe did not answer these questions directly, but put down the tea cup and clapped his hands.
After a while, the maids served steaming fresh mushroom soup, with some preserved pork in it to enhance the flavor.
Although everyone was confused, they still followed the instructions and started drinking the soup.
After eating the mushroom soup, everyone immediately exclaimed: "Good soup, good mushrooms. This is the best mushroom I have ever eaten in my life. It is delicious and rich, and my qi and blood suddenly became strong." ”
"If you like to drink, drink more. This is a specialty of the Changchun Valley of Zifu Academy. It only grows under that immortal tree, and it only grows during the spiritual tide." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile. , "Zong An specially picked this and sent it back to honor us."
"It's actually a mushroom under the Immortal Tree? No wonder it's so delicious and full of spiritual energy."
"It turns out it was sent back by Zong An... This child has a filial heart."
"Wait a minute..." Xu Anbang said, "I have also heard of the mushrooms from Xuegong Changchun Valley. These mushrooms are extremely delicious and have a very short shelf life. Even if they are refrigerated in an ice cellar, they will not survive for half a month. . But this mushroom is extremely fresh, as if it had just been picked."
Everyone heard and saw that it was indeed the case.
It would take eight, nine to ten days to go from Changning Guard to Zifu Academy, even if a Lingtai monk drove a BMW day and night.
For a while, everyone was filled with doubts.
Could this be a new variety of mushrooms cultivated by Shouzhe? Can you pretend to be a Academy Spirit Mushroom?
"This mushroom is indeed the Academy Spirit Mushroom. It has only been picked for three days and has been kept in an ice crystal iron icehouse, so it is extremely fresh." Wang Shouzhe didn't sell it anymore and said with a smile, "Zong An thought about it. A clever trick, I used ice crystal iron to build an icehouse and sent it back on the starry night using the academy's spiritual bird chariot. This time the quantity sent back was larger, and everyone will share a share later."
"Well...it is said that the price of hiring the Academy Flying Chariot once is very expensive..." Xu Anbang frowned, "Coupled with the ice crystal iron cold storage, these mushrooms are worth a lot of money."
"Of course it's not cheap." Liu Yuanhui said, "I heard Ancestor Xuan Fu say before that hiring a flying chariot costs ten credits a day, which is worth hundreds of gold. This time, I'm afraid it will cost hundreds of gold. Went in. Even Ancestor Xuanfu was reluctant to ride it back then... She would rather ride back and forth on horseback. But now, Ancestor Xuanfu has taken the ride twice."
Yes, how can hundreds of gold be so easily earned? When the Wang family was at its poorest, it would be great to be able to save hundreds of extra pounds a year. Although the Shanyin Liu family was slightly richer, they were reluctant to part with it at first.
"A round trip of hundreds of gold is indeed very expensive." Wang Shouzhe also agreed, "But if you go to the county town, it only costs fifteen gold. And no matter when you come back, it only costs ten Five thousand gold, will you sit down or not?"
"Fifty thousand gold to go to the county town? It seems that the chariot only needs to fly for more than a day, right?" Gongsun Yan said with bright eyes, "Sit, of course I will. I have wanted to go to the county town for a long time, so just sit The carriage ride back and forth takes too long! Even on horseback, it takes a long time, and traveling on a starry night is too tiring."
"Shouzhe, what you mean is..." There was hope in everyone's eyes.
"I have calculated that the Academy has more than thirty Spirit Bird Chariots. Because they are expensive, they are idle most of the time." Wang Shouzhe quickly calculated, "Because of these Spirit Bird Chariots, the Academy owns more than 30 Spirit Bird Chariots every year. It will cost about 300,000 gold! We can rent it all and build an air cold chain transportation system!"
