The Godsfall Chronicles Chapter 1: The richest man
Skycloud City, Lingyue Mansion, several men in brocade clothes, full head sweaty and pale, holding a report in their hands to report to a plump man.
They are facing the Lingyue Family Patriarch, who is also the richest man in Skycloud City, Ling Yuepeng.
The men in Jinyi are the presidents of various large chambers of commerce in the family. Every one of them is a figure in the rich side in Sky Cloud Elysian Realm. At this moment, they are crying like the end of the world on their heads. In fact, for them, recently What happened, called the end of the world, is almost too.
The destruction of the Great Wall had an unprecedented impact on Elysian Realm. The Lingyue family was the first to bear the brunt. Most of the merchant ships were instantly destroyed and the commercial transportation network was completely paralyzed. As a large-scale business family, the Lingyue family's originally well-organized business is facing an instant collapse.
How big is this blow?
To put it simply, let the family go back hundreds of years!
The direct loss may be able to wipe out their efforts for more than ten years, and then they need to face a business winter that does not know how long it will last. No one knows when this crisis will be over, or even not. I know if the Lingyue family can survive this crisis.
Ling Yuepeng wore a gem ring in his hand, holding a very exquisite jade teacup, but the hot tea had already cooled down completely. He always had a calm face and did not express his attitude, but quietly waited for the report to be read.
"Patriarch, Great Tribulation, Great Tribulation." A chamber of commerce president desperately said: "This time the family is going to suffer. How should we deal with this crisis?"
Ling Yuepeng glanced at him with small triangular eyes.
The president knew he had made a mistake. When he faced the Patriarch's gaze, he felt a sense of shock and immediately shut up.
"Just losing a little fleet and business scared you like this? You disappointed me too much."
Everyone looked at each other. What does it mean to lose some fleet? Almost all pontoons have now crashed, and almost half of their businesses have been paralyzed. The Lingyue family's business covers all walks of life, and how many people need to be supported. This incident is definitely the biggest crisis in the history of the family.
"There are ways to make money back if there is no money, and there is a way to rebuild the business if it collapses. Money and goods business is fluid, with cycles and regularities, just like a river, there are rain and drought differences. As long as we are in the right position, wealth It will continue to flow like water." The richest man gently put the tea cup on the table: "After all, this crisis is like an earthquake that temporarily lost our favorable position, but both crises and opportunities often exist at the same time. But I only saw the dangers facing the family, but didn't see the opportunities hidden behind the dangers. How short-sighted is so uncomfortable, only caring for immediate interests?"
A person frowned and asked: "Patriarch means that we can turn a crisis into an opportunity?"
The richest man gently supported the gem ring and said: "This crisis covers the entire Elysian Realm, not the Lingyue family alone. When the entire business ecology is jointly devastated, only the ability to survive is more complicated. Individual to survive."
Everyone looked at each other, none of them were stupid, they seemed to understand.
"Our Lingyue Chamber of Commerce is already like this. Other chambers of commerce will only get worse, but the Lingyue family has the background and strong survivability to survive the crisis, while other chambers of commerce have not. If we can use this opportunity, this disaster Not only will it not be a disaster for us, but it will be a great opportunity to reap.” The richest man said calmly: “People always have to wear clothes and people always have to eat. There is a demand, as long as Elysian Realm does not cross, we people will be useful. What are we afraid of?"
Several presidents have bright eyes, isn't that the truth?
"What's more, the Elysian Realm Great Wall was destroyed. From then on, Wilderness and Elysian Realm have been opened up. We will have a broader space for display. Even the outbreak of war itself is not a crisis but an opportunity for us, and a huge opportunity. This is the opportunity God has given us Lingyue family. If anyone dares to talk nonsense to disturb the order, I will never forgive him!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"What the Patriarch taught is what the Patriarch taught."
"Praise the gods of great, how can Elysian Realm cross?"
These big wealthy businessmen were busy wiping sweat, and they didn't dare to say anything anymore.
But to be honest, they can't even think about this kind of thing. The family has regressed dozens of years in the crisis, no matter how you look at it, it is not a good thing. The owner of the Patriarch regards this huge price as a lever for turning over, seeking opportunities from opportunities and leveraging the prosperity of the next thousand years. This is the real businessman and a qualified Patriarch.
A family owner said excitedly: "We can take the opportunity to acquire other chambers of commerce and resources monopolizing Elysian Realm's business! As long as this crisis passes, we will definitely get more than before."
"You still don't fully understand." The richest man's eyes are getting hotter and hotter: "This is not a little business and money to measure for the family. The troubled times means reshuffle. The Lingyue family has been in Elysian Realm for many years. It is a fat pig that everyone can slaughter. The status of a merchant has never been true. Isn't this an opportunity to stand up?"
Huh, turn over?
The butler hurried in and whispered a few words in the ear of the richest man.
The richest man said to the housekeeper: "Go and call Yuner."
The steward left quickly.
The richest man smiled: "Our opportunity has arrived, and you are all optimistic about it."
Several leaders of the family clearly saw that the face of the Patriarch's savvy and shrewdness disappeared almost in an instant, replaced by a simple and honest, or even stupid, as long as the Patriarch’s cronies understand this The meaning of vice expressions.
The owner of the house will show this face only in front of outsiders.
The Lingyue family is the wealthiest family in Sky Cloud Elysian Realm, but the merchants have a low status in Elysian Realm. It is because of the smooth and obedient performance of enough that this family can grow steadily.
A person walked in through the door.
"Welcome to honorable and powerful envoys!"
The richest man showed a very flattering smile, like a big meat ball bounced from the seat, clumsily twisted it accidentally, and almost never fell to the ground.
This is a tall, thin and white middle-aged man. Although he is very handsome, he has a broken arm and his face is a little haggard and weak. Not many people know him in Skycloud City, because this is the big man Polaris Roc of Polaris Family.
"My lord, please come to your seat, my lord please come to your seat." The richest man is like a hospitable and clumsy rich man, with a naive smile on his face, "It's a coincidence that your name has a word for Peng, and the name of the villain is also With the word Peng, it’s just that the villain is just a bird in the small forest, while the adult is a Shenpeng who soars for nine days. He has served as the commander of the Elysian Realm Corps for a long time. I have been admiring you for a long time."
Roc looked a little lonely, and laughed very self-deprecatingly: "You should come to this set less. People like me, if you grab a lot of Cloude Family, you don’t have any qualifications to act as a commander. If not for Polaris Family, A generation of talents is dying, and no matter how it is my turn to sit in this position, not to mention that I am leaving my post and will be the Expeditionary Army envoy from today."
"Whether it is the special envoy of Expeditionary Army or the commander of the Condor, they are both the mainstay of Elysian Realm. They are worthy of being looked up at by the villain. I admire you as a powerful but humble character in my life."
Roc cannot help but laugh, this fat guy is the owner of the family anyway, this self-assuming attitude is really dumbfounding: "I have known for a long time that the richest man is a kind and good man who is famous for Skycloud City. What is the purpose of coming to me this time?"
"I don’t dare to be good and good. I'm just being a Skycloud City person, and even a member of more than 20 million gods. I just want to do something for my part. How do you say it? Oh, yes, if you are poor, you can be alone. , The rich will help the world, the villain thanks to God's Grace, these years fortunately to earn a small amount of money, thinking of Expeditionary Army to fight the evil Wilderness, countless soldiers fighting for the prosperity and glory of Elysian Realm, but the villain is a businessman, otherwise he will definitely take it now I joined the army on the front line."
Roc waved his hand: "What's the matter straightforward."
"Yes! The villain decided to do something for Elysian Realm after careful consideration, so I plan to use all my personal savings, plus all the strategic materials reserved by the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce, and give them all to Expeditionary Army."
The faces of several of the meeting leaders changed.
Even Roc was extremely surprised.
The Lingyue family is not an ordinary family. It almost masters most of the catering and manufacturing of Elysian Realm. Since the richest adult can be called the richest man, his personal wealth must be very considerable. If the Lingyue family is willing to support Expeditionary Army, this is a good match for Expeditionary Army. It will be a huge help.
Master Chief Marshal would be very happy to hear this news!
Roc didn't rush to agree. How could there be such an easy thing? This guy is a businessman in vain and it is impossible not to pursue any profit.
The richest man said: "In addition, I have a few nephews and excellent family descendants. Although they were born in the Lingyue family, they are all passionate men with great aspirations and well-trained warriors. I hope they All can participate in Expeditionary Army, hoping to play for Elysian Realm."
Roc looked at him in surprise: "Is it for this?"
The richest man smiled, a little embarrassed: "There is still another request."
At this time, the butler came in with a beautiful blonde woman. The richest man hurriedly greeted the young woman: "This is the little girl Claudia. She is now serving in the demonhunter unit. There is a demonhunter team under her hand. If possible, I hope She can work with the envoy to help Elysian Realm."
Roc can’t understand this fat guy a little bit.
Is there something wrong with this guy's brain?
The presidents of several chambers of commerce are puzzled by the help that the family owner almost spares no expense.
The richest man wiped his forehead sweat: "The villain has nothing to do in this life, so he hopes to contribute to Expeditionary Army and Elysian Realm at this time, and I hope that the envoy will convey the villain's wishes to Chief Marshal."
Roc thought about it for a while and thought it was not a bad thing. He glanced at the silent Claudia standing beside him, and finally nodded and said, "I don’t have a military position now, and the lady will have nothing to do with me. Opportunity, but I can recommend someone. If the lady can follow him, maybe there is a lot to do."
The triangular eyes of the richest man suddenly opened: "Who is it?"
"He is very young, but Chief Marshal has high hopes. He may be the pillar of Expeditionary Army in the future. Although he is not well-known, he is ready to take over the command of the Condor and is performing secret missions on the front line of Expeditionary Army independently." Roc paused: " The Condor troops suffered heavy losses in Jiaozuoshan and lacked manpower. It would be better if the young lady could pass at this time, I think he would not refuse."
The richest man said without thinking: "Okay, great, thank you for the recommendation of the envoy, thank you for the recommendation of the envoy!"
Roc looked at Claudia and said: "I just need to transfer the position of commander with him in the past. If Miss Claudia is okay, now I can go with me to meet the new commander~IndoMTL.com~Claudia frown.
What Expeditionary Army? She is not interested at all.
Hell Valley has lived for three years, and she has seen too much cruelty and truth.
Claudia now only wants to practice well, stay away from these ugly places, and become an instructor in demonhunter College in the future. Just under the gaze of her father, she had to lower her eyes and say: "Okay."
She has no choice at all.
Because she is Ling Yuepeng's daughter.
The father wants to turn the family into a upright clan. His father dreams that he can appear in the Temple conference hall with other nobles one day. For this goal, let alone her daughter, there is nothing he cannot sacrifice.
