"You are our Zijin-level VIP, and we absolutely trust you.
We don't want to lie to you. We do know about this. When Longteng Trading Company used ultra-low prices to suppress us, we sensed something was wrong.
As fellow merchants, our Huayun Trading Company strictly adheres to the bottom line of business, but some merchants are the scoundrels among them.
Because the route between Ziyan Heaven and Ming Hao Heaven was too long, the weather was extreme, storms raged everywhere, and they had to deal with massive sea monster attacks. It could be said that the exhaustion along the way was enormous.
So, this route is basically not profitable; it's more about responsibility.
But Longteng Trading Company joined forces with several other major firms, suppressing us with low prices and slandering Huayun Trading Company, deliberately ruining our bank's reputation.
Because Longteng Trading Company would rather lose money to make a splash, those who don't understand the situation assume that Huayun Trading Company is really making huge profits on the shipping routes and start to be dissatisfied with us.
At the time, I advocated clarifying the truth and disclosing income and expenses, but... The higher-ups disagreed and ordered us to cancel this route. Qi Fang sighed.
Clearly, she was very confused by the executives' decision.
"Explanations are useless. People can only see living Immortal King Crystals. If they really do that, they'll fall even further into Longteng Trading Company's tricks."
If you provide a statement, they will immediately provide another proof and then point out that you are falsifying accounts.
But people don't understand the reasoning behind this; they only believe that whoever saves them money is trustworthy. Long Chen said.
Qi Fang looked at Long Chen in surprise and said, "Mr. Long Chen, you are truly wise. I didn't think of the key to this?" Long
Chen shook his head: "It's not that I'm wise, but that the president is honest in business and open, always believing there's nothing he can't talk about. That's why I underestimated his shamelessness." "
Huayun Trading Company's integrity is a golden signboard; from top to bottom, these two words are valued more than life itself."
Clearly, although President Qi Fang was the president and could put himself in others' shoes, she didn't realize that when faced with some sinister tactics, she still couldn't see far ahead.
"So, it seems I misjudged the higher-ups. Thank you, Mr. Longchen, for your guidance." President Qi Fang thanked Long Chen and continued:
"We know about the Demon Eye that Mr. Long Chen mentioned. Every time our ship passes through the core area, the Demon Eye appears."
However, it hasn't made things difficult for us. However, ever since Longteng Trading Company appeared, the Demon Eye has changed.
A terrifying presence appeared in the Eye of the Demon. Every time it passed by, it had to be given enough tribute, or else it would attack our trading company.
This tribute is a demon beast crystal core, and it must be a Realm King-level beast core. We don't make money anyway, so if we pay tribute, we'll lose money.
Not only did they lose money, but they also suffered misunderstandings. In the end, the higher-ups decided to stop transporting cultivators and only deliver goods, so things ended peacefully.
In the end, Longteng Trading Company secured this route. Without our Huayun Trading Company to compete, they began to act as they pleased, using various tricks and exploitation to betray the fundamentals of business.
Did Mr. Long Chen become conflicted because he couldn't stand their actions, and thus rose up to fight back? Qi Fang said with a smile.
Long Chen was taken aback: "Is this all your intelligence has in you?" This
time it was Qi Fang's turn to be stunned: "What's wrong?" "
My grudge with Longteng Trading Company goes far beyond this. The reason I'm so ruthless is because they've done things that anger everyone..." Long Chen finished speaking, recounting the Demon Eye sacrifice in detail.
Qi Fang was so shocked she stood up. When she heard that Longteng Trading Company had sacrificed millions of lives to the Demon Eye, her eyes were filled with fury.
"They're nothing but beasts." Qi Fang said angrily.
Long Chen said, "From what you said earlier, it's clear that Longteng Trading Company is colluding with the Demon Eye. That so-called tribute is just to force you to give up."
Then Longteng Trading Company dominated alone, allowing them to do whatever they wanted. No one knew what they did.
Moreover, I even think this kind of cooperation can't be limited to the Demon Eye; maybe there's an even bigger conspiracy. But as for what they really want, no one knows. "
I need to report this matter to the higher-ups immediately." Hearing Long Chen say this, Qi Fang's expression grew serious.
Long Chen nodded and said, "I believe the executives at Huayun Trading Company will take it seriously. The main reason I'm here this time is to buy some things. I'm not sure if it's convenient or not." Hearing
Long Chen's words, Qi Fang smiled: "Our Huayun Trading Company is in business. How could there ever be inconveniences?"
Even if the goods were stolen, as long as they weren't ill-gotten, our Huayun Trading Company would accept them without hesitation. Long
Chen also smiled. It seemed that Qi Fang had already guessed his purpose by coming here. Long Chen had been worried that there were some taboos to avoid at Huayun Trading Company, but it seemed he was overthinking it.
Long Chen didn't stand on ceremony and directly listed all the pills he needed and handed them to Qi Fang.
Qi Fang immediately sent people to prepare for Long Chen. It had to be said, Huayun Trading Company was extremely efficient—in just the time it takes to burn an incense stick, all the rare medicines Long Chen needed were brought over.
"These are from our warehouse. There are other treasure vaults as well. I'll gather them from the major chambers of commerce, but this will take about three to five days." Qi Fang said.
Long Chen quickly thanked him. He had come to Huayun Trading Company at the right time. Their treasures were so complete. After calculating, he found that all these rare herbs could be refined into Purple Que Pills, which could be made at least two to three hundred thousand pills.
However, Long Chen figured it definitely wouldn't be enough. He said he wanted as many of these rare herbs as he had.
In exchange, Long Chen handed over all the pills he had stolen to Qi Fang. Other items might still be useful to Long Chen, but he didn't want the pills.
The pills stored in several treasure vaults were astonishing. Long Chen handed them directly to Qi Fang. The value of the pills was terrifying, but calculating their value would require a tremendous amount of time.
When trading with Qi Fang, Long Chen was just like Zheng Wenlong—he never thought about anything that required his brain.
After obtaining the rare medicine, Long Chen rented the most advanced alchemy room in Yuzhou City and began frantically refining pills.
After Long Chen consumed about 100,000 Purple Que Pills, the exterior of his Feng Mansion Star was wrapped in a purple outer garment. Finally, the outer garment shattered with a thunderous crash. When the Feng Mansion Star reappeared, it had already become a purple star.
The Fengfu Star slowly rotated, conjuring streams of purple energy that seemed dreamlike and illusory. The purple energy moved slowly and instantly merged into the 108,000 stars, even appearing with purple spots.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, the divine ring behind Long Chen automatically opened. Outside the originally six-colored ring, a faint purple light appeared. In that instant, Long Chen felt a door to his body open.
