Section 75
Back then, as a member of the Liyue people, the Ji tribe had great power. When Su Chen was in office, a large number of Ji tribe people controlled the real power in both Liyue Port and Guiliji.
But I didn't expect that after his death, the Ji tribe actually went into hiding.
In fact, although the Ji tribe had a large number of people, there were not many people who truly had the blood of the Ji tribe. It was only the other tribes that were absorbed later that expanded the size of the Ji tribe.
I think those Ji tribes who went into seclusion should be the core members that Su Chen brought out from Tianheng Mountain.
"Why do they want to go into seclusion?"
"Sir Su Chen... cares a lot about the Ji tribe."
Su Chen was startled, then smiled and said, "After all, we are of the same clan as the Human Emperor, and I was also born in Liyue, so I will always care about it."
"That's right." Ningguang didn't think much about it. In the hearts of the Liyue people, they were actually more curious about the Human Emperor than the Rock King Emperor. After all, the Emperor descended to the earth every year, while the Human Emperor fell thousands of years ago, but the legendary story has been passed down to this day.
To surpass the gods with a human body is unique in Teyvat and is also the pride of the people of Liyue.
"The specific reason is unknown, but to be honest with you, Mr. Su Chen, there is a demon god sleeping in the Salt of the Earth. When he left, the people of Ji followed him."
"Oh?"
Su Chen's eyelids jumped.
The demon god sleeping in the Salt of the Earth... Heulia?
He put down the wine glass, thought for a while, and suddenly felt something was wrong, so he raised his eyes.
"Miss Ningguang, these things should be considered confidential, right? You told me just like that?"
"Hehe~ If Mr. Su Chen is just a diplomatic envoy of Mondstadt, I naturally can't tell anyone."
Su Chen was shocked.
I leaned in.
Revealed?
While talking, Ningguang took out a photo from her bosom.
It was Su Chen's appearance.
"Bai Xiao, go out for a while." Ningguang said.
"Yes."
Secretary Bai Xiao went out with curiosity.
"Miss Ningguang, what is this?" Su Chen stared at the photo, a little confused. Why is there still someone collecting his private photos?
In the photo, Su Chen is wearing a medium-length tuxedo. He looks older than he is now. He should be in his early thirties, at the peak of his career.
Hmm... hm?
Wait.
Su Chen raised his eyebrows and suddenly remembered that this photo is...
At this time, Ningguang said softly: "Ningguang has been doing business for many years and has seen many people, big and small. In Liyue, what is most lacking is smart businessmen. Many of these people are successful, but there are very few who can really make their business reach the pinnacle."
"There are thousands of businessmen in Liyue, but how many masters are there? There are not many truly convincing ones in the whole circle."
"But there is only one person, Ningguang has always admired his methods and abilities..." Miss Tianquanxing picked up the photo, and her tone was a little more respectful, "Senior Luochen, you don't know how much your photo sold for on the black market. I spent a lot of effort to get it."
Sure enough.
It was revealed, but it was not the vest of the Human Emperor, but the vest of the president of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce.
"What is Miss Ningguang talking about?"
"Senior Luo Chen." Ningguang's eyes were a little 'resentful', "At this time, are you still going to hide it? Although it is indeed hard to believe, I will not easily draw conclusions if I have not conducted a thorough investigation."
In fact, at first, it was just a routine personnel check of the Mond envoys, but it turned out that a big boss had sneaked into the envoys.
If Ningguang had not been interested in the rise of the Luo family in the past and regarded Mr. Luo as a beacon on the road of business, Ningguang would not have been able to determine Su Chen's identity in a short time.
In addition, in order to ensure that her judgment would not be wrong, she also specially sent people to investigate the situation in Mond. When she knew about the actions of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce in Mond, she was more certain.
Worthy of being Senior Luo!
Ningguang, who was able to thrive under the stubborn knights and the corrupt aristocratic system of Mondstadt, and also made it easy for the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce to gain a foothold, had to sigh after reviewing the situation in Mondstadt. If she were to manage this game, she would not be able to do it to this extent.
Ningguang has always respected the real business predecessors.
"Well~ Miss Ningguang, you are really amazing. No one else has discovered it, but you have discovered it." Su Chen shook his head helplessly.
"Just call me Ningguang." Seeing that he did not refute again, Ningguang smiled and said, "Old predecessor Luo Chen is it. After so many years, he is getting younger and younger. I really envy Ningguang."
"I am Su Chen now, a diplomatic envoy of Mondstadt."
"Yes, follow the wishes of the predecessor."
Yo~ This little woman is quite obedient.
Su Chen was a little surprised. Ningguang in the game always looked like an old fox, playing the traveler around. I didn't expect to see her such a good baby.
Come on, Guangbao, call me grandpa, and I'll show you the goldfish.
Since his identity was exposed, Su Chen simply stopped pretending. He was a billionaire and he was telling the truth.
"Little Ningguang, you came to me specially, there must be something else, right?" Su Chen asked with a smile.
Little... Ningguang?
Ningguang's expression froze for a moment, and then returned to normal.
Forget it, although Su Chen doesn't look older than her now, he should be almost a hundred years old.
"You really can't hide anything from your senior." She blinked her eyes. There's nothing wrong with being cute in front of the old senior. As long as it is a factor that is conducive to negotiation, it can be fully utilized.
Besides, senior Luo Chen has lived for so many years, what kind of storms and waves has he not seen? Therefore, unnecessary calculations are useless at the moment. The most important thing is 'sincerity' and heart-to-heart communication.
Thinking of this, Ningguang said: "There are two things. The first one is that according to the latest Liyue development plan issued by the emperor last year, the Seven Stars, after joint discussion, plan to strengthen maritime transportation construction in the next ten years and open up exclusive shipping lanes to various countries. ”
"Oh? That's really generous."
Su Chen nodded calmly.
As we all know, although the Demon God War is over, various dangers often lurk in the sea, and there are too many unknown factors compared to land.
Even if there is no demonic attack, many of those deep-sea behemoths are as powerful as the weak demonic gods.
The shipping channels used by various countries today are basically based on the experience accumulated by the maritime escort fleets over the years. To put it bluntly, they are wild routes.
So far, no country has the courage to open up its own security channels.
But if this can be done and the safety factor on the maritime road is ensured, then the number of shippers passing through this road will skyrocket, and the benefits will be unimaginable.
After all, who would want to take the risk of being attacked by sea beasts by taking another route when there is a safe way to go?
"Yes, so we are not in a hurry at the moment. According to the discussion, we have formulated two stages. In the first stage, we will open up channels to Mondstadt, Sumeru and Inazuma. Mondstadt and Sumeru are both close, and the offshore area has a high safety factor. , is relatively simple, and Ina Wife is not far away, but due to Ina Wife’s recent lock-up, it has been temporarily put on hold.”
Su Chen responded: "With such a big plan, what are you telling me to do?"
"To be honest, because the amount of the project planned this time is too large and the energy, financial and material resources consumed are unimaginable, Qixing plans to join forces with other large chambers of commerce in Liyue to distribute the profits on the waterway according to their respective contributions... Senior, the Luo family is also within the invitation range, but..."
"Oh, rejected?"
"That's right. Although President Luo said that he would consider it, you and I both know that this is just a polite statement."
Opening a waterway is extremely risky and the benefits are unknown.
With the Luo family's foundation in Liyue, there is no need to take this risk.
And even if they don't contribute any effort, they will still be able to enjoy the benefits once the waterway is built.
Can Qixing still block the Luo family?
In fact, most chambers of commerce are making this plan, but others do not have the courage and strength of the Luo family. Faced with Qixing's 'invitation', they naturally do not dare to refuse.
To put it bluntly, the country does not have enough money, manpower, and energy. If they are invited to join in, distribute profits after the fact, and open the waterway, it will be a good thing for the entire country. At that time, the so-called profits will still have to rely on the strength of the chamber of commerce.
Su Chen took a sip of wine and couldn't help but think about it.
Ning Guang didn't speak, and waited for him quietly.
After a while, Su Chen asked: "Who is in charge of the Luo family now?"
"Luo Mingtao."
"Is it really that brat?"
Su Chen didn't ask Luo Minghe, but he should have thought that there were only a few people of the same generation.
"What about the second thing?" Su Chen asked.
"The second thing is actually somewhat related to the first thing." Ningguang chuckled, "The Mondron disaster has just ended, and now everything is waiting to be done. To rebuild our home, we will naturally need a lot of materials. Ningguang sincerely proposed cooperation. I hope that seniors can make the connection, and all the supplies Mondstadt needs in the future will be provided by the industry under Ningguang’s name.”
Su Chen smiled half-heartedly and said: "Xiao Ningguang, your calculation is quite good, but since you know my identity, why don't I just let the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce contact me?"
"Senior, you should know the reason, right?" Ningguang blinked, looking a little naughty, "The Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce is now entrenched in Mondstadt. Although it has not been long, its power is quite powerful. If it takes the profits this time, it will definitely It will cause dissatisfaction and even targeting by the local forces in Mondstadt, and it will be very troublesome even if the seniors are there, so it is better to leave this matter to Ningguang, and afterwards, Ningguang will split the profits with the seniors 50-50, how about it? "
"I have made a rough calculation. Putting aside Mondstadt's existing material reserves and trying to restore the previous situation, I conservatively estimate that we can earn 4 billion from this transaction. By then, seniors will have a net profit of 2 billion."
Su Chen was really surprised now.
Five to five.
He just needs to make connections and come up with an idea, and he can get astonishing benefits.
It's not like he didn't expect Ningguang to use the profits to cooperate with him, but at most it would only be a 30-70 share.
If you open it 50/50 directly, 20% of the profit would be 800 million. Not everyone has this courage.
"Now I understand why you are the richest among the Seven Stars." Su Chen showed his appreciation without any concealment.
As a businessman, Ningguang's ability is definitely top-notch.
As long as the Luo family has Ning Guang to support them, it will be easy to become the number one in Liyue from now on.
What? Luo Mingtao?
That kid can defend the country, but his ability to conquer the country is still lacking.
"This fish is good."
Su Chen folded his head and said with a smile, "Let's divide it."
Ning Guang smiled, ate a few mouthfuls, and raised his glass to propose a toast, showing all the etiquette of a younger generation.
