The fact that Liu Qiya was able to take charge of all the external affairs of Qicai Pavilion while he was practicing in seclusion at the Grand Master's house was enough to show that among the Seven Gentlemen of Yunhu, he had the strongest ability to deal with people.
Liu Qiya knew that Kong Ming was not an ordinary person, and if he wanted to cooperate with him, being straightforward was the best way to gain mutual trust between the two parties.
At this time, Hu Hao and Kong Ming looked at each other. When Hu Hao saw Kong Ming nodded slightly, he said directly: "Yes, with the rise of our Cangnan Empire, many forces are indeed uneasy. But. From the perspective of this junior, these uneasy forces are just out of lack of confidence in themselves. Otherwise, they can negotiate directly with our Cangnan Empire, so why bother to make some small moves secretly?"
Liu Qiya glanced at Hu Hao with a smile and said: "It seems that the Hu royal family is also full of talents. I have seen a lot of prince candidates from various empires, but one with the arrogance of nephew Hu Xian, But it’s really not much. Well, the Cangnan Empire has accumulated a lot but has little progress, and it is indeed time to harvest. I heard that many forces are worried that the Cangnan Empire is developing too fast, and have secretly set up various obstacles to hinder Liangzhou’s business transactions. I am greatly affected, I wonder if this is true?”
Hu Hao said without any concealment: "This news is indeed true. However, the forces that have severed ties with our Cangnan Empire can only be said to be short-sighted!"
Liu Qiya nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed short-sighted! How can you do business without taking the slightest risk? And the greater the risk, the higher the benefits! The Cangnan Empire is developing so rapidly, Instead of taking advantage of this opportunity to expand transactions with them, they actually set up obstacles secretly. What else is this but short-sightedness?"
At this time, Kong Ming looked at Liu Qiya and smiled slightly: "So, Senior Liu is definitely not such a short-sighted person?"
Liu Qiya laughed loudly and said: "Of course! Otherwise, why would I have the shamelessness to invite Brother Kong to come as a guest? Brother Kong can bring nephew Hu Xian with him, which saves me a lot of trouble. In order to avoid having to invite nephew Hu Xian over alone again. I will make it clear here that if the Cangnan Empire does not dislike my Qicai Pavilion shop, then I, Qicai Pavilion, are willing to direct all sales channels to The Cangnan Empire is open to full cooperation with the Cangnan Empire!"
Hu Hao was overjoyed after hearing this! You must know that Qicai Pavilion is the largest business house in Tianyuan City, which is almost equivalent to the largest business house in Yuanzhou. Even if it is not the largest business house in Tianyuan Continent, it is enough to be among the top three!
Moreover, Qicai Pavilion is located in Tianyuan City, and Tianyuan City is the center of the entire Tianyuan Continent. It is equivalent to an excellent geographical location. If its sales channels are completely open to the Cangnan Empire, then the business of the Cangnan Empire will naturally be able to follow suit. Do it all over Tianyuan Continent!
As long as it can cooperate with Qicai Pavilion, the national power of the Cangnan Empire will definitely increase greatly, the materials will be richer, and the army that can be supported will be more. And the four states of Qing, You, Yun, and Hai have no influence on the Cangnan Empire. The business blockade naturally exists in name only.
No wonder the business exchanges between Yuanzhou and Liangzhou have not been interrupted. Most of this is because Qicai Pavilion is dealing with it!
The reason why Qicai Pavilion is willing to cooperate with Cangnan Empire is not difficult to guess. It must be because Qicai Pavilion is optimistic about the development of Cangnan Empire, so it is willing to invest in Cangnan Empire!
Even if the Cangnan Empire is not like the Holy Empire of the past and can really unify the nine states of Tianyuan, as long as the Cangnan Empire can truly control the four states of Liang, Sha, Man, and Liang, then Qicai Pavilion can cooperate with such a huge empire. It is absolutely possible to develop into the largest business house in Tianyuan Continent!
Of course, such cooperation also has risks. If the Cangnan Empire does not develop smoothly, it is very likely to be liquidated by other forces afterwards. Qicai Pavilion will also be affected by that time, let alone becoming the largest business house in the world. , even the current status cannot be maintained!
But as Liu Qiya said, as long as you are doing business, how can you not take risks? If you want to get the maximum benefit, the risks you take must naturally be larger!
Liu Qiya was quite confident in his vision. The Cangnan Empire was developing so rapidly, and the three families of Hu, Kong, and Cao were full of talents. Even if they could not recreate the grandeur of the Holy Empire in the past, at least they would not be able to achieve it now. The territory was thrown away! In addition, Kong Ming has such a monster performance, the future number one in the world must be this young man!
It is rumored that Kong Xiu, the ancestor of the Kong family, has been promoted to a saint-level being. In just a few hundred years, he has become as famous as the great being in the wild forest and is known as the number one saint-level being!
Now that there is a successor like Kong Ming, as long as Kong Ming can be promoted to the Saint level in the future, then the title of No. 1 in the Saint level will naturally be handed over to Kong Ming smoothly!
Two generations of the same family have the strongest strength at the Saint level. If we don't make friends with such a force, then what other force is worth making friends with
Liu Qiya had carefully considered all the causes and consequences before he made up his mind to fully cooperate with the Cangnan Empire!
Whether Qicai Pavilion can be unique in Tianyuan Continent depends on how much return this long-term investment can bring in the future.
When Liu Qiya made an appointment with Kong Ming, Kong Ming was more or less able to guess Liu Qiya's plan, so he brought Hu Hao to visit him.
With Kong Ming's current status, and the presence of His Royal Highness Hu Hao, he can definitely represent the Cangnan Empire and Qicai Pavilion to negotiate formal cooperation.
The two parties were able to negotiate in a straightforward manner, which naturally laid a good foundation for the cooperation between the two parties. At that moment, Hu Hao directly expressed his position: "Being able to cooperate with a large business like Qicai Pavilion is naturally a great opportunity for our Cangnan Empire. What a great thing! If the cooperation between the two parties goes smoothly, all the external business of our Cangnan Empire can be carried out by Qicai Pavilion in the future. After the two parties confirm the formal cooperation agreement, Qicai Pavilion will be the only official agent of our Cangnan Empire! "
Since Qicai Pavilion is willing to cooperate with Cangnan Empire, Cangnan Empire must naturally show its sincerity, and it is natural for Qicai Pavilion to be given the status of an exclusive external agent.
This kind of cooperation is definitely a good thing for both parties. The smoother the development of the Cangnan Empire, the more benefits Qicai Pavilion will gain. After Qicai Pavilion gained huge profits, it in turn meant that they were able to provide the Cangnan Empire with any needed materials!
If the Cangnan Empire really wants to realize its dream of unifying Kyushu, in addition to its strong strength, it must also have sufficient financial support! Even if the Cangnan Empire has been accumulating national power for hundreds of years, it will not be able to sustain it until the day when it can unify Kyushu. It is hard to say now. However, with the addition of Qicai Pavilion, a super-big financial backer, there is no need to worry about funding issues anymore.
For Qicai Pavilion, it is just a business name. It is not a national force. Naturally, it does not have the concept of territory. Instead, from the perspective of doing business, if Tianyuan Jiuzhou is unified into one country, business will naturally be more Developed, Qicai Pavilion can develop even stronger!
There is such an anomaly as the Cangnan Empire, which happens to hit it off with Qicai Pavilion. If they don't cooperate with each other, then who else can cooperate
Next, the two parties naturally had a good conversation, reached a consensus on cooperation matters, and both parties signed and endorsed it. As long as Hu Hao returns to Liangzhou, the Cangnan Empire will officially issue credentials, which means that the cooperation between the two parties has officially begun.
Of course, there is no need to wait for the arrival of the official credentials. Qicai Pavilion is already making preparations and will arrange for countless caravans to enter Liangzhou and completely activate Liangzhou's business exchanges!
The four states of Qing, You, Yun, and Hai each resorted to various means to prevent business dealings with Liangzhou, but their business with Yuanzhou could not be interrupted. What Qicai Pavilion has to do is to act as a second-hand dealer in the middle, continuously importing specialties from other states to Liangzhou, and then exporting Liangzhou's specialties to other states.
With Qicai Pavilion to deal with it, Liangzhou's business transactions will not stagnate, nor will they be destroyed due to war, which is enough to prevent Liangzhou's development from being delayed at the same time as the war!
After laying such a solid foundation, the future development of the Cangnan Empire is even more exciting. As for Qicai Pavilion, it may not take ten years to grow into the number one store in Tianyuan Continent!
War fortune has always been the fastest way to get rich!
After the two parties discussed the cooperation, it can be said that everyone was happy. Liu Qiya hosted a banquet in the old house to entertain Kong Ming and Hu Hao.
With the financial resources of Qicai Pavilion, as long as there are rare and delicious foods in Tianyuan Continent, what are they that they can't get? This meal, even as Kong Ming and Hu Hao, was the first time to see many delicacies that only existed in legends. This way, they naturally had a better understanding of the strength of Qicai Pavilion.
Finally, after the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves, Kong Ming and Hu Hao left.
On the way back, Hu Hao couldn't hide his excitement and said to Kong Ming: "Brother Kong, I have been circling among various forces in Tianyuan City for more than a year. Although I have made some gains, they are not as good as what you just did." It has only been one day since we came out, and we have already welcomed such a powerful ally into the Cangnan Empire! It seems that we are one step closer to realizing our dream of unifying the Nine Provinces!"
It was already dark at this time. Kong Ming looked up at the dark night sky with only a few dozen stars. He sighed and said: "The dream of unifying Tianyuan Jiuzhou is indeed exciting to hear. But from now on, what lies ahead is There will be more difficulties and obstacles waiting for us!"
