Keeping big companies from fighting is only the first step.
Although the big companies couldn't spare the time to teach Minglan a lesson, Atlas quickly united with other companies to put pressure on the major companies in the Central Plains, requiring all companies to unite to sanction Minglan and not conduct any trade with Minglan.
contacts.
"Minglan will become a city of pariahs in the civilized world!" said the spokesperson of Atras.
But of course Lu Hongsheng would not be unprepared when he asked Yu Meihong to hold such a press conference.
A "post-naval war era" between Minglan and a consortium of large North American companies has begun.
After the news that he had become a legend spread, Lu Hongsheng personally visited the Liuzhou Peninsula in the southwest of Minglan, and had a cordial discussion with the ruling local company, Liuzhou Ruizheng Co., Ltd., and its chairman Lu Jingkang.
chat.
The people in Liuzhou City are poor, but the land is fertile and there are many good harbors. It is only separated from Qiongzhou Island by a strait. In the real world, the geographical location is very good. But in the Yuanverse, it is a remote place. Because the Liuzhou Peninsula is surrounded by three sides: east, west, south and west.
Around the sea, these three sides are within the sphere of influence of the murlocs, and the murlocs are very powerful.
Yazhou, which faces across the strait, is also a land that humans have settled but has not yet completely conquered. Yazhou Island is low and flat on all sides and high in the middle, forming a dome mountain topography. In the middle mountainous area is the sphere of influence of the Leiyu tribe.
And the flat land near the sea is infested by murlocs, making it difficult for humans to gain a foothold on the cliffs.
Over time, the residents of Yazhou and Liuzhou in the real world naturally moved to other places with more development prospects on the other side of the Yuan Universe - such as Minglan, Zhongzhou and other places.
The scarcity of people in the real world has led to the weakness of the adventurers in Liuzhou. Currently, the only trance-level master whose registered residence is in Liuzhou is Lu Jingkang, and he is only in the early stage of trance and cannot withstand the pressure of legendary masters like Lu Hongsheng.
.
With Lu Hongsheng's intervention, Lu Jingkang quickly announced a twenty-year cooperation agreement with "Minglan Social Civil Service Co., Ltd.", a company established by Huozhong in Minglan, and exchanged equity interests with each other. From then on, Liuzhou and Minglan became one.
ization process.
Not only that, Lu Hongsheng also led Minglan's fleet to persuade two human expeditioners to settle on Yazhou Island. Feng Yin "recruited" the Leiyu tribe in Yazhou as the heir of the Feng tribe. He gained the
The land of Minglan, Liuzhou and Yazhou was acquired.
With the land and port, coupled with the commercial and trade relations with Jinghua City, the Fishman Kingdom and Xingzhou, which have moved to the South China Sea, Minglan is self-sufficient.
At the same time, Sun Yuming opened import and export trading companies in his name in Yunjing and Shendu under the name of "free merchant", buying and selling materials through various operations and sending them back to Minglan through the quantum entanglement module.
Lu Hongsheng can get very cheap and large quantities of marine specialties from his business with Jinghua City, the Fishman Kingdom and the Xingzhou Islands. These specialties have a very large demand in some inland and desert areas, but because the price given by Sun Yuming is too high
You know, even if some companies there could guess that Sun Yuming's supply was wrong, they would just turn a blind eye.
On the other hand, Lu Hongsheng made full use of the information about the "Card Club" and the "Shadow Throne" obtained during the Battle of Mirror Flower City.
Although Kevin Underwood is dead, the legacy left by Kevin Underwood, Robin Underwood and his Solitaire Club, still have a strong influence. Because of Kevin Underwood’s According to the memory, Lu Hongsheng easily contacted Robin Underwood and carried out a series of coercion and inducement against her:
"Madam, you don't want what you and your husband did to be exposed, do you?"
It is not appropriate to discuss the details in detail. In short, through Xiao Shi's methods, Lu Hongsheng quickly made Robin become his person from body to soul, and with the help of Robin, he semi-controlled the entire card club.
Controlling the card club is equivalent to controlling half of the body of the consortium of large companies. Lu Hongsheng not only knows the sanctions and counterattacks launched by the consortium of large companies against Minglan, but he can also make preparations in advance to let the large companies The coalition's means fall short, or their effectiveness is greatly reduced.
If the above actions were just defensive, then Lu Hongsheng also carried out a series of aggressive offensive operations against the Atlas Group, the "Shadow Throne", and the Bat Mountain behind them.
To this end, Lu Hongsheng used two of his new allies: Needle Stone Mining and Xinglin Pharmaceutical.
Dong Jianguo, the boss behind Zhenshi Mining, and Tian Mengyu, the boss behind Xinglin Pharmaceuticals, are both well-known legends. Lu Hongsheng informed the two bosses through the news he got from the card game that Zhenshi and Xinglin were fighting against Zhenjin Mining and Zhenjin Mining. Atlas Pharmaceutical's success in the business war gradually weakened Batshan's control over the entire society.
A more important attack than the above was that Lu Hongsheng began to sell the magic plants developed by Wei Xue to the outside world one after another under the name of "Xingzhou Islands" - of course, the seeds are restricted and can be reproduced for up to two generations.
These magic materials have aroused great response and praise from all users as soon as they were released. This means that people can carry out targeted attribute training by taking or using certain magic plants in the future.
Lu Hongsheng doesn't sell much, usually to wealthy people from small and medium-sized companies, or to allies such as Tian Mengyu of Xinglin Pharmaceuticals, Dong Jianguo of Needle Stone Mining, Lilu Kalani of the Poly Kingdom, Jiang Feng of the Metal Exchange, etc. , in addition to providing it for them to use, it also allows them to resell these magic plants.
These resources have been unanimously praised by all users. Because the resources are scarce, they are also used by Lu Hongsheng as a tool to break the diplomatic deadlock. The company that purchases magic plants has a prerequisite: it cannot follow the trend of Atras and sanction Minglan. .
Because magic plants are too practical and Lu Hongsheng’s hungry marketing, they are simply priceless and have no market. In order to obtain these precious magic plants that cannot be cultivated independently, major companies can only gradually give up their plans to form an alliance with Atlas to jointly sanction Minglan. Instead, he established friendly relations with Minglan.
After all, it was not their people that Minglan and Huo Zhong killed.
At the same time, the use of magic plants can significantly reduce adventurers' demand for some auxiliary potions for cultivation, and this is another pillar industry of Atlas.

The two sides were superimposed, making Atlas anxious and angry, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, the Battle of Jinghua City left Aitras with severe injuries, and Aitras could no longer control the situation.
…
In the following year, there was a non-stop business war, espionage war, diplomatic war and public opinion war between the forces of Atlas and Lu Hongsheng. While Atlas was retreating steadily in the face of Lu Hongsheng's aggressive offensive, it also had to rebuild. The North American fleet and land forces have to contend with the "double legend" pattern on Minglan's side, and life is indeed very difficult.
Just as Aitras gritted his teeth and rebuilt his armed forces, another desperate news came from Minglan.
