Chapter 1685 Nine Thunder Island and Donglai Country
Five days later, Mu Feng, Yuan Youyuan and their caravans from all over the world set out from the capital and left through the teleportation array.
During these five days, Mu Feng said goodbye to Cang Hongshen, Zhao Ziye, the five bachelors, and everyone he knew in the capital.
What made Mu Feng most regretful was that Manzhu was still in seclusion in the Shenwu Pagoda. Before leaving, he was unable to say goodbye to Manzhu, which made him very regretful.
Before leaving, Mu Feng left a letter for Manzhu. After the latter left the customs and returned to his mansion in the outer city, a servant would hand it over to her.
The headquarters of Zongheng Sihai Trading Co., Ltd. is located on the overseas island of Kuleibao Island.
Within the Nine Thunder Treasure Island, there is an ancient country called Dongrai Country.
This country has lived on the Nine Thunder Treasure Island for generations, with little contact with the outside world. Later, the ancestors of trading companies across the world accidentally discovered this treasure island.
Of course, no one has discovered this island for so many years, mainly because of the powerful and special weather on this Nine Thunder Treasure Island.
The island is surrounded by a violent tornado that connects heaven and earth, and there are nine thunderbolts surrounding the tornado, guarding the island tightly in the center like a chain.
The name of Nine Thunder Treasure Island comes from this.
It is precisely because of such terrifying natural dangers that Nine Thunder Treasure Island has not been discovered by warriors from the mainland for a long time.
Later, Yuan Ge, the ancestor of the trading company in the world, accidentally rescued the indigenous people who were leaving Jiulei Treasure Island, so he was kindly brought to Jiulei Treasure Island.
There are many precious resources in Jiurei Treasure Island, including extinct spiritual beasts, elixirs found only in ancient books, etc., as well as a large number of special resources that the outside world has never had.
So, Yuan Ge had an idea and settled on Jiulei Treasure Island, and gradually became familiar with the indigenous people.
And his nature as a businessman made him understand that this Nine Thunder Treasure Island is a huge treasure house. As long as he can take the resources here and auction them at high prices, he can gain endless wealth and status.
Yuan Ge successfully persuaded the king of Donglai Kingdom on the island to engage in foreign trade, and he served as the representative of Donglai Kingdom in foreign trade.
Soon, the reputation of Jiulei Treasure Island spread across the mainland territory on the other side. Many of the resources produced there were not found in other places on the mainland.
Gradually, more and more forces are trading with Dongrai Country, and even many powerful countries are rushing to buy the resources sold by Guleibao Island.
Yuan Ge also relied on profit from the price difference and quickly became a famous rich man in mainland China. It is not an exaggeration to say that he can use his wealth to defeat the country.
Yuan Ge's business grew bigger and bigger, so he established his headquarters on Jiuleibao Island and slowly expanded to major outside territories.
During this period, it naturally aroused the jealousy and covetousness of many forces, and many powerful forces led armies to invade Jiurei Treasure Island and take down this treasure island.
These forces include the eight ultimate forces such as Luohong Holy Sect and Yin Yang Villa. Even the Holy Dynasty is involved.
Unfortunately, the natural dangers of Jiurei Treasure Island are too terrifying. Without the guidance of the indigenous people of Jiurei Treasure Island, all intruders would be blocked by the nine thunders and terrifying storms.
The Donglai Kingdom did not even waste a single soldier, but the numerous invading troops suffered heavy losses, and in the end they had to retreat.
From then on, there was no force that could not think of invading Donglai Kingdom.
Because the price is really too high! Relying on the resources of Jiulei Treasure Island, Zongheng Sihai Trading Company's business is getting bigger and bigger, and it involves more and more industries, and eventually spreads across the entire continent, becoming the default in everyone's mind.
The ninth ultimate force.
And because Zonghengsihai Trading Company has spread all over the mainland and spans all walks of life, his influence is actually wider than the eight ultimate forces.
In particular, its unique intelligence network is the number one in the mainland, far surpassing the eight ultimate forces. This is why the eight forces often pay high prices to purchase important information from the Four Seas Commercial Bank.
Because the intelligence collected by Zonghengsihai Commercial Bank is often more detailed and useful than theirs.
Mu Feng and Yuan Youyuan's goal this time is Jiulei Treasure Island, which is located in the East China Sea and is far away from the mainland.
Opposite the Nine Thunder Treasure Island is the territory controlled by the Jiang family - Jiang Shenyu.
The territory of Jiang Shen Territory is larger than that of Sheng Dynasty, and the geographical divisions of Jiang Shen Territory and Sheng Dynasty are completely different.
Within the territory of the Holy Dynasty, there are many large and small countries, and the sect forces and the like are suppressed by the central court, and they always have to look up to the court.
However, Jiang Shenyu is completely different. They respect family power and do not divide the country into capitals at all. They all divide regions based on the power of aristocratic families.
Of course, the largest aristocratic family in the Jiang God Realm is the Jiang family, and all the aristocratic families here respect the Jiang family.
The coastal area opposite Jiulei Treasure Island is controlled by the Zhao family.
The family surnamed Zhao is considered to be one of the top-ranking families among the many families in the Jiang Shen Domain. Most of its sphere of influence is near the coast of the East China Sea, and it operates a huge dock.
If the mainland wants to trade with Jiulei Treasure Island, it must go to the dock run by the Zhao family. This also brings extremely generous profits to the Zhao family every year, causing its power and foundation to continue to rise.
This time, Mu Feng, Yuan Youyuan and their entourage were going to the East China Sea coast of Jiang Shen Domain, which was the territory of the Zhao family, and took a boat to Nine Thunder Treasure Island through the Zhao Family Pier.
Although there are now various flying tools such as spaceships and spiritual beasts, which are much faster than taking a boat, the geographical location of Jiurei Treasure Island is too special.
Nine Thunder Treasure Island is surrounded by powerful storms and nine thunders. Anyone who dares to use a spaceship or flying beast to go there is seeking death and will definitely die.
Even people from the Donglai Kingdom did not dare to fly in, but only dared to sit on the boat.
Moreover, the real entrance and exit of Gulei Treasure Island can only be found by boat, so most of the caravans trading with Dongrai Country can only go to Gulei Treasure Island by boat.
And this also completely benefited the Zhao family, allowing them to obtain this great advantage at the right time and place, allowing the family's power to expand rapidly.
Mu Feng, Yuan Youyuan and his party first passed through the teleportation array in the capital and teleported to a city with a teleportation array in the northernmost part of the Northern Wasteland.
This time, their group went into battle lightly, with only a few dozen people in total. But even so, the cost of teleporting dozens of people would be huge.
An ordinary caravan would not be able to afford such a huge sum of money, and only Zonghengsihai Commercial Bank did not take such a price into consideration at all.
Then, they used the spaceship that had been prepared long ago and began to cross the northern border of the Holy Dynasty and headed towards the area of Jiang Shenyu.
At the border, their caravan was quickly intercepted by the border guards. After learning that they were members of the Zongheng Sihai Trading Company, the border guards became very polite.
Zonghengsihai Trading Company is the number one trading company in the world. As the saying goes, the shadow of a famous tree, most of the border guards will sell the face of Zonghengsihai Trading Company and will not deliberately create difficulties.
Moreover, Yuan Youyuan was a good businessman and had a very flexible mind. He quickly mingled with the border guard commanders and let them go immediately with the promise of small profits.
