The reason why the Yunxia City Chamber of Commerce Alliance has such influence is that they are the most well-connected chamber of commerce organization on the border of Izumo County, and they are also the only businessmen who have the means to connect Liangzhou and Shazhou for commercial trade!
Just imagine, Liangzhou and Shazhou have always been at odds with each other, which naturally greatly affects the normal commercial exchanges between the two sides. This also makes both sides desperately short of each other's specialty products. Under such a situation, one can only imagine how profitable a commercial organization that has mastered the trade routes between the two places will be.
Whether it is the military or the wealthy families on the border of Izumo County, they all turn to the Yunxia City Chamber of Commerce Alliance for help. This naturally makes the status of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance rise and become one of the top forces in Yunxia City!
The leader of the Yunxia City Chamber of Commerce Alliance is named Xia Liangcai. It is said that he is a native of Yunxia City. He was originally just an inconspicuous small businessman, but he has a shrewd mind and very good business methods, and he quickly accumulated huge wealth. , became one of the members of the Yunxia City Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Since Xia Liangcai joined the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, under his superb operating methods, the major merchants have become unprecedentedly united. It can really be said that everyone makes money together, and has opened up a way to trade with Shazhou, which immediately made the Chamber of Commerce Alliance His reputation skyrocketed, and Xia Liangcai deservedly became the chairman of the Yunxia City Chamber of Commerce Alliance!
Don't think that because Xia Liangcai has done so many important things, he must be an old man who is not young, but in fact, he is not even fifty years old now, and he is in the prime of life! If we insist on saying that Xia Liangcai has any shortcomings, it is that he is not a cultivator. He has a very smart mind, but he does not have the qualifications to become a cultivator!
But even so, Xia Liangcai was able to stand in his current position as a mere mortal, which is enough to show that he is extraordinary. Moreover, it is precisely because Xia Liang is an ordinary person that he has a very high reputation among ordinary people, who think that he can become a representative of the majority of mortals and compete with those high-ranking cultivators!
Why is the "Benevolent Lord" Duan Ziwen regarded as the birth of Buddha among thousands of families? Isn't it because he, as an ordinary person, has done great things to thwart powerful enemies? Although Xia Liangcai's reputation cannot be compared with that of "Benevolent Lord", the reason why people pursue him is the same as worshiping "Benevolent Lord"!
It took Lei Ming a full stick of incense to explain clearly the four major forces in Yunxia City. And when Kong Ming first came to Yunxia City, what should he do to gain a firm foothold in Yunxia City and become the fifth pole of Yunxia City? Or even go one step further and become the leader in Yunxia City
Others may not have the idea of becoming a leader, because Yunxia City is the hometown of "Renjun". No matter how powerful outsiders are, can they build a power greater than that of the Duan family in Yunxia City
Not to mention the Duan family, even the Yunxia sect that has been passed down for thousands of years, how can we look down upon it? As for the alliance between the military and the chamber of commerce, none of them are fuel-efficient!
There are indeed many problems before Kong Ming, but who is Kong Ming? He specializes in solving difficult problems! When he decided to come to Yunxia City to fight, he just wanted to create a new situation. If he was just content with the status quo, why would he leave the imperial capital
Seeing everyone looking thoughtful, Kong Ming smiled slightly and said loudly: "A complicated situation is before us. As newcomers, how can we open up this situation? Today we are here This is just for discussion, so please feel free to speak your mind!”
Tie Suxin's beautiful eyes spread, he glanced at everyone, and said clumsily at this time: "Since ancient times, if you want to fish in troubled waters among several forces, the most effective method is to win over and divide. The only way is to show favor to one group and attack them. Only another group can open up a new situation for us. The only force in Yunxia City that cannot be hostile is the Duan family. As newcomers, we are really not suitable to stand against such a big force. And More importantly, the Duan family runs the family with poems and books, and the idea of loyalty to the emperor is deeply rooted. The direct descendants of the Duan family are the chief staff of the Prince's East Palace. If the Prince wants us to gain a foothold in Yunxia City, it will be more or less helpful. As long as you have the recognition of the Duan family, at least you don’t have to worry about being unable to integrate into the local forces!"
Tie Suxin's analysis was well-founded. After hearing this, Eugene clapped at the side and said, "What Miss Tie Suxin said is true! She is worthy of being the person next to the second young master. As expected, she is just like the second young master. These are all born with Su Hui." ! The little old man is not talented, but he also feels that it is a top priority to win over the Duan family and establish a good relationship with the Duan family. When he was still in the imperial capital, the little old man had been thinking about this matter, so when he participated in the 'Wanbao Club' At that time, the little old man saw a few suitable things, so he took pictures of them on his own initiative. Now that he has arrived in Yunxia City, if he wants to visit the Duan family, then the things that the little old man took will be It can come in handy.”
As Eugene spoke, he opened his storage bag and took out two things.
These two items were taken by Eugene when Kong Ming allowed Eugene and others to bid on their own during the "Wanbao Meeting", and he even spent hundreds of thousands of gold coins! But no one expected that Eugene was so sophisticated and calculating that the things he took at the "Wanbao Club" were actually used today!
Kong Ming laughed loudly, cupped his hands towards Eugene and said, "It's a great blessing for this generation to be able to get help from Mr. You! As long as we work together, are we afraid that we won't be able to create our own world in Yunxia City?"
The two items that Eugene took out, one was a long and luxuriously packaged brocade box, but after opening it, it turned out to be a rather old-looking writing brush, even the tip of the pen was mostly bald.
There is nothing surprising about this object, and it is definitely not a magical weapon. It is just an ordinary old writing brush, but its origin is quite extraordinary. It has been identified that it was the former "Renjun" Duan Ziwen when he was studying at the Confucian Academy. , a brush that I have personally used.
"Renjun" was born in a poor family. Even if he wrote with this brush until he was half bald, he would not throw it away. Later, the academy sealed the brush and used it to encourage future generations of poor students. As for the reason why this writing brush will appear at the auction, it is also to raise funds to help poor students study!
There are more than thousands or tens of thousands of Confucian academies in the Cangnan Empire? If everything had to be funded by the Confucius family, no matter how big the Confucius family's fortune was, they would not be able to afford such expenses. Therefore, academies in various places had the function of raising funds themselves and could not rely solely on the Confucius family's assistance.
Although the relics of "Renjun" are rare, as long as they are auctioned for a good price, it means that more than a thousand students from poor families can receive funding to complete their studies. I believe that "Benevolent Lord" has a spirit underground and will approve of this.
Eugene was so sophisticated that he took a photo of this "benevolent monarch" relic. As long as he gave it to the Duan family, he was afraid that the Duan family would not look at Kong Ming and others with admiration
As for the other item, it was a beautifully packaged wooden box. There were three old letters in the box, also written by "Renjun" himself. They were also the remains of correspondence between him and his classmates and friends when he was studying in the past.
After the name "Renjun" spread throughout Liangzhou, these autographed letters naturally became rare and could even be regarded as family heirlooms by some ordinary families. However, there will always be unscrupulous people in future generations, so it is normal for these letters to be auctioned at auction.
If you take pictures of these letters and give them to the Duan family, you will naturally be treated with courtesy by the Duan family. In addition, with the writing brush once used by "Renjun", with these two gifts in hand, you can definitely establish a relationship with the Duan family. Good relationship!
Moreover, the Duan family has always passed down poems and books, and "Renjun" also has the experience of studying at the Confucian Academy, which makes it not difficult for Kong Ming to have a good relationship with the Duan family.
Of course, not all descendants of "Renjun" are truly humble gentlemen like "Renjun", but they will always have concerns about face matters. Even if they are dissatisfied with the Kong family's influence in Yunxia City, they will not openly compete with them. Kong Ming sings the opposite tune!
As long as the Duan family shows an attitude of accepting Kong Ming and his party, it means that Kong Ming has won the hearts of the people and will at least gain a firm foothold in public opinion. As long as you can successfully establish yourself in Yunxia City, are you afraid that you won't have the opportunity to expand in the future
At this time, Tie Suxin also showed admiration for Eugene and praised in a sweet voice: "Young Lao's foresight really makes me admire you! With the gifts prepared by You Lao, it shouldn't be a problem to win over the Duan family. However, we If we want to establish our own power in Yunxia City, we need to find a hostile force that can be attacked! If we do not weaken a certain force, how can we gain space to expand our territory? The young master has the official title of Dang Kou General, but in the military Fang does not have any foundation yet, so it is not appropriate to make enemies in the military so quickly. As for the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, no matter how powerful it is, it is just a non-governmental organization. With the young master’s noble status, if he competes with the Chamber of Commerce Alliance for profits, he will only be regarded as The structure is too small. After all this calculation, there is only one Yunxia sect left that is truly worth dealing with!"
Kong Ming smiled slightly and said: "The Yunxia Sect is the largest sect in Izumo County. Not to mention its strength in Yunxia City, it is also the well-deserved number one in Izumo County! How dare we rashly fight with such a big sect? Wouldn't it be a little risky if we are enemies of power?"
Tie Suxinlan was very intelligent and naturally knew that Kong Ming's question was a rhetorical question, so she smiled sweetly and said: "It is precisely because the Yunxia Sect is truly the number one in Izumo County that it is the most suitable opponent for us! The reason is very Simple, because within Liangzhou, the only one who can truly take charge is the Cangnan Empire! For us to get a share of the Yunxia Sect’s power is definitely a good thing that all the major forces are happy to see happen!”
