The true heritage of Sihai Commercial Bank is really an eye-opener for the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce.
Originally, the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce thought that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to deal with the Sihai Trading Company.
They had been planning for this for two full years, thinking they had everything figured out.
But despite all their calculations, they never realized that Sihai Trading Company's background was so terrifying.
From the beginning, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the momentum was overwhelming.
To the final summation, the whole process took less than two months.
After two years of careful preparation, the company was destroyed by Sihai Trading Company in less than two months.
Faced with such a powerful Sihai Trading Company, does Liang Shangyi still have any reason or possibility to refuse?
Furthermore, why is it that the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce is the only one who is unlucky? Da Zhou is also one of the participants, so he should be unlucky with them.
After Liang Shangyi happily accepted the order and left, he went straight to Dazhou.
As a qualified and smart businessman, Liang Shangyi really knows how to deceive people and be convincing.
Therefore, there is no need for anyone from Sihai Trading Company to teach you how to perform this play.
Liang Shangyi took the cave master who escorted him to Dazhou for the first time, and the two of them took a fast boat and sped towards Dazhou.
Because of its huge size and the fleet accompanying it, the big ship really can't go very fast.
But the boat is different. The speed of the boat can be very fast.
Coupled with the fact that it is controlled by a master of the Cave Heaven Realm, the speed is really much faster than a big ship. It's too much.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a flying fish on the sea.
It took a large ship more than a year to cover the distance, but Liang Shangyi and his two men had 'flyed' to the vicinity of Wanghai City in just two months.
Arriving at the waters near Wanghai City, Liang Shangyi had discovered that the fleet deployed by Sihai Trading Company was beginning to perform a desperate retreat.
They abandoned their supply ship and at the same time threw a large amount of the baggage on the ship completely into the sea.
Just to lose weight in exchange for faster speed.
Watching Sihai Trading Company's performance, Liang Shangyi also had mixed feelings in his heart.
But when he thought that it would be Da Zhou's turn to be unlucky next, Liang Shangyi felt a little more balanced.
Liang Shangyi is the kind of person who has been exposed to the rain himself, but also has to let others get exposed to the rain too.
After passing through the battlefield, Liang Shangyi and his two men landed directly at the dock of Wanghai City.
"Mr. Li, can you sense how many Cave Heaven realms Sihai Trading Company has prepared for Dazhou this time?" Only after landing ashore, Liang Shangyi dared to ask this question.
The old man behind Liang Shangyi pondered for a while and replied: "At least eight."
Liang Shangyi couldn't help but sigh after hearing Mr. Li's answer: "Eight are arranged here, and so many cave heaven realms can be mobilized on the four sea islands to deal with us.
The background of this Sihai Trading Company is simply too terrifying.
We were really wrong from the beginning."
Mr. Li also nodded in agreement: "We were indeed wrong from the beginning.
We underestimated the strength of Sihai Commercial Bank."
Liang Shangyi said: "Actually, it's not that we underestimated the strength of Sihai Commercial Bank, we have really underestimated the strength of Sihai Commercial Bank.
It’s just that the real strength of Sihai Commercial Bank is beyond our imagination.
Who would have thought that there could be so many Dongtian realms in Sihai Trading Company.
Now I am really curious about how the Dongtian Realm of Sihai Trading Company was cultivated!"
Mr. Li replied seriously: "Most of the Dongtian Realm of Sihai Trading Company was not cultivated by Sihai Trading Company itself.
Most of them come from other dynasties on the Sifang Continent.
It can only be said that Sihai Commercial Bank is really willing to invest more in this aspect."
Liang Shangyi nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, Sihai Trading Company is really willing to do this."
The annual expense of supporting a strong man in the Cave Heaven Realm is not a small amount.
Sihai Trading Company supports so many Cave Heaven realms, and its annual expenses are absolutely astronomical.
The size of Sihai Trading Company itself is not small, plus it supports so many cave heaven realms.
In Liang Shangyi's view, Sihai Trading Company should be able to make ends meet every year.
The Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce also has its own cave masters, and the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce has the same ambitions as the Four Seas Trading Company.
However, the resources at the hands of the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce are not enough to support their ambitions.
"Mr. Li, where do you think Sihai Trading Company obtained such a large amount of resources to support these cave-heaven realm offerings?" Liang Shangyi continued to ask.
Mr. Li shook his head gently: "I don't know about this."
Mr. Li is a relatively pure warrior and does not know much about business matters.
Regarding how Sihai Commercial Bank makes money, it is very normal to not know the specific situation.
Just when Liang Shangyi was about to end this topic, Mr. Li said again: "But if you want to impress the Cave Heaven Realm, you really don't necessarily need resources. Sometimes a hope can also impress them."
Liang Shangyi's expression changed and he said: "Mr. Li, are you talking about the hope of breaking through to a higher level?"
Mr. Li nodded slightly and gave an affirmative answer.
Liang Shangyi is not a pure warrior, but he can understand the warrior's paranoid pursuit of a higher level.
Especially in the Cave Heaven Realm, if you want to continue to make breakthroughs.
The conditions are really too harsh.
Most, no, almost 99% of those in the Cave Heaven realm would not have the chance to do it all over again in the other three continents.
Therefore, the purpose of Sihai Trading Company became their hope for breakthrough.
With such hope, it is completely understandable to join or just cooperate with Sihai Commercial Bank.
"But Mr. Li, there are four emperors in the world of Dazhou. Does Sihai Commercial Bank really have the confidence to fight against the four emperors?" Although the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce has not entered Da Zhou to do business, the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce still knows Da Zhou very well.
.
For example, the existence of the Four Emperors is a huge threat to Sihai Trading Company.
This threat is divided into two aspects. On the one hand, it is naturally whether the four emperors agree or not, and the Sihai Trading Company is doing whatever they want in the Xianwu Continent.
The Xianwu Continent has produced immortals like Great Zhou Taizu who soared through the sky.
It is a very special continent in itself.
Once you reach the level of the Four Emperors, you will definitely pursue a higher realm.
And for the sake of a higher realm, one of the risks is whether the Four Emperors will let the Sihai Trading Company mess around.
The second risk is whether after the Sihai Trading Company is completed, the Four Emperors will come directly to pick peaches.
Such things are not uncommon in the world, and the four emperors are called the Four Emperors.
It's not because of their high moral standards, it's entirely because of their strength.
It has absolutely nothing to do with moral standards and the bottom line of chivalry.
Moreover, it has never been stipulated that the Four Emperors cannot do such things as picking peaches.
Such two huge risks cannot be sustained by relying on the Cave Heaven Realm.
unless……
Liang Shangyi thought of a possibility.
"Mr. Li, do you think the Sihai Trading Company will have existences above the Cave Heaven Realm?" Liang Shangyi lowered his voice and asked about this possibility that he had in mind.
Mr. Li shook his head: "I don't know either."
Although Mr. Li was shaking his head, Liang Shangyi felt that this was extremely possible.
If this is really the case, then I must handle this errand very carefully.
After completing this errand, Liang Shangyi will be able to brush up his presence and favorability at the head of the Four Seas Commercial Guild.
It will be a very good preparation for my next transfer to Sihai Commercial Bank.
People walk to higher places, since the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce cannot lead Liang Shangyi to higher places.
Then switch to Sihai Trading Company. With your own talents, you can get a good position even in Sihai Trading Company.
Furthermore, I also have many supply channels from the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce in my hands.
These can be used as bargaining chips to join Sihai Commercial Bank.
"Mr. Li, if I want to join Sihai Trading Company, will you come with me?" Liang Shangyi did not hide his thoughts from Mr. Li, but said it directly and honestly.
The reason why Liang Shangyi was so open and honest was simple. He believed that his recent psychological activities could never be hidden from Mr. Li.
In this case, it is better to just invite Mr. Li to go with you, which can also increase your bargaining chips.
"Lao Li, I am confident that after joining Sihai Commercial Bank, I will obtain a higher status and treatment than now.
And after Mr. Li joins, Sihai Trading Company will definitely treat you with courtesy.
When the time comes, I will fully support Mr. Li so that you can stand out from the competition.
When the time comes, the two of us will complement each other and compete in the world together."
Liang Shangyi expressed his thoughts very clearly.
At the same time, the promises given are also more realistic.
After hearing Liang Shangyi's words, Mr. Li did not agree immediately, but said: "You'd better do the things in front of you first. I can pretend that I didn't hear what you just said."
After hearing what Mr. Li said, Liang Shangyi knew that there was something wrong with this matter.
As long as Mr. Li does not directly and clearly refuse, it means that Mr. Li is already interested in this matter.
The next thing is what you should work hard on.
Mr. Li had the same idea as himself, to do the things at hand first before talking about anything else.
"Mr. Li, let's go to the Black Yamen." Liang Shangyi said to Mr. Li confidently.
Mr. Li nodded, and then directly followed Liang Shangyi and flew towards the Hei Yamen.
The two people quickly arrived at Heiya. After entering Heiya, Liang Shangyi went directly to find Lizhu.
Lizhu knew that Liang Shangyi was coming, so she temporarily put aside everything and came to see Liang Shangyi.
The cooperation with the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce is by far the most important thing for Heiya and Da Zhou.
If this matter comes to pass, it will be of far-reaching significance to both Heiya and Dazhou.
For Heiya, this further consolidates Heiya's status in the world.
At the same time, because he has control of a commercial island, Heiya has more say in the supply of Jianghu resources.
They also have more decision-making power in formulating the rules of the arena.
For Zhou Dynasty, especially for Qin He, this was a real move to expand territory.
And having such a huge commercial island can, on the one hand, expand Dazhou's external trade and create more income for Dazhou.
On the other hand, it can completely become the Great Zhou, and then continue to explore the springboard of the deep sea.
It can become an advanced base for the Zhou Dynasty to continue to expand its territory.
This is definitely a very strategic fortress.
Everything in this matter needs to be put on hold temporarily.
Lizhu met Liang Shangyi in the living room. Although Lizhu attached great importance to this matter, there was no urgency on Lizhu's face.
This is in line with what Lizhu has been telling Liang Shangyi: Dazhou does not need to go to sea urgently now.
The greater role of that commercial island was to appease the Jianghu forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In this kind of matter, whoever shows more initiative will become more passive in the subsequent cooperation.
"Does Shopkeeper Liang have any good news to share with us?" Li Zhuyun said lightly.
Li Zhuyun was calm, but Liang Shangyi was a little anxious: "I do have good news here. Sihai Trading Company has been defeated by us."
Seemingly aware of his 'slight' gaffe, Liang Shangyi quickly adjusted his mood: "But Her Royal Highness the Princess should also know. It is not that simple to defeat Sihai Trading Company in one fell swoop.
We are currently in a stalemate with Sihai Commercial Bank, but we just have a slight upper hand."
Lizhu keenly caught Liang Shangyi's eagerness and continued to say lightly: "So shopkeeper Liang is here to tell me the good news?"
Liang Shangyi said: "Of course not, I am here to inform Her Royal Highness that you can prepare to land on the island.
People from Sihai Trading Company on Shang Island are preparing to retreat.
As an ally and partner, I feel I should inform you about this.
Otherwise, after they all withdraw, you may be left with an empty island.
Or an island that has been destroyed and is in disgrace.
This is not in your interest, so I came here to inform you."
After listening to Liang Shangyi's words of forcible respect, Lizhu looked like she was not in a hurry. She leaned back and said: "It doesn't matter, what we want is the commercial island. As for the things on the island, we can keep as much as we can."
Just fine.
With that island and the deep cooperation between us and you.
I believe we will not be short of resources after the Great Week.
Moreover, our Zhou navy has already suffered a lot of losses.
If you forcefully log in at this time, the losses will only continue to increase.
This is not in the interest of our Great Zhou Navy."
After hearing Lizhu's words, Liang Shangyi's face instantly darkened: "Your Highness, we are completely well-intentioned. I hope you won't misunderstand anything."
"I know you have good intentions, and I have not misunderstood anything, but I have to consider the actual situation.
Our Zhou Dynasty's navy was indeed very weak.
It still takes a lot of time to grow, and the wealth you have finally accumulated cannot be wiped out in one fell swoop.”
Liang Shangyi knew that his 'plot' had been seen through by Li Zhu, so Liang Shangyi's face darkened: "Your Highness, you have let down our good intentions like this.
You may not get anything in the end, so I hope you will seriously consider our good intentions."
Lizhu leaned back, looked at Liang Shangyi calmly, and said: "Shopkeeper Liang, it's better for us to stay in the open and not to speak secretly.
Shopkeeper Liang may not be a soldier, so he doesn't understand how the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly.
Instead of following me around here, it would be more practical if we just tell the truth.
There is no need to say those threats.
If you lose, we won't get the commercial island.
Our black office has suffered some losses.
But we only lost one commercial island, and your more than two years of planning and layout have all come to nothing.
And let Sihai Trading Company take a breather, they will definitely concentrate all their efforts to deal with your Deep Sea Trading Company first.
At that time, we, Dazhou, will have a chance to breathe. No matter from which aspect, your losses will be greater."
After listening to Li Zhu's analysis, Liang Shangyi gritted his teeth and asked: "What kind of conditions does Her Royal Highness want?"
Lizhu smiled slightly and said: "We need you to provide the military expenses for our landing on the island.
At the same time, we also need a large number of low-cost martial arts resources to invite martial arts masters from Dazhou to join the team that lands on the island.
Finally, we still need the blueprints for shipbuilding. There will definitely be losses when we land on the island. We can’t just lose money without making up for it.”
After Lizhu finished stating her three conditions, she kept smiling and looked at Liang Shangyi.
Liang Shangyi sneered in his heart after hearing Li Zhu's conditions.
"You are really a good negotiator, if things are really as I said.
We are really inextricable from Sihai Commercial Bank, although the conditions are quite harsh.
But after some discussion, we will still choose to accept your conditions."
"But now, we have lost to Sihai Trading Company in a flash."
"It's your turn to fail miserably next."
Although Liang Shangyi wanted to agree to Lizhu immediately, Liang Shangyi did not answer immediately, but asked Lizhu to wait for three days for their news.
Lizhu also knew that this matter should have exceeded Liang Shangyi's authority to decide.
There is no harm in waiting for Liang Shangyi for a few more days.
However, as an ally, Lizhu still had to remind Liang Shangyi that the battlefield is changing rapidly.
I hope Liang Shangyi can make a decision as soon as possible.
Liang Shangyi immediately went to the black office and returned directly to the inn.
Pretending to be a messenger seabird, he stayed inside the inn and never left.
Waiting for the seabird to return to Liang Shangyi's hands three days later.
Looking at the place on the bird's leg where the letter was stored, there was an empty section of bamboo.
Liang Shangyi adjusted his condition and then quickly went to find Lizhu.
After meeting Lizhu again, Liang Shangyi also had depression and dissatisfaction written on his face.
Anyone can tell at a glance that Liang Shangyi is definitely being bullied.
The acting skills of a businessman are reflected in every detail.
Even with micro-expressions, Liang Shangyi has done it very well.
I guarantee that Lizhu will not see any flaws.
As expected, Lizhu didn't see any flaws in Liang Shangyi's body.
Plus the news from Feng Hai.
Li Zhu is basically certain that what Liang Shangyi said is true.
It should be time for a showdown between the Four Seas Trading Company and the Deep Sea Trading Company.
Any change in force at this time may cause the balance to overturn.
That's why the Deep Sea Merchant Guild thought of letting Da Zhou land on the island as soon as possible, and in turn restrict and delay the return reinforcements from the Sihai Merchant Fleet.
Even if they are returning aid, they will not be allowed to take away too many supplies.
The Shenhai Chamber of Commerce agreed to all the conditions she proposed, so Lizhu naturally had no more demands.
"In this matter, I think it would be safer to let Prince Ze or Shangguan Ling, one of the Six Saints who have good relations with Dazhou, act together with Heiya.
Although Sihai Commercial Bank has transferred a large number of experts, there will still be experts left on the merchant island to cover the evacuation of the fleet.
If you want to win, the best way is to kill with one strike."
After a pause, Liang Shangyi added: "If necessary, Senior Li next to me can also act with you.
In short, since we are going to take action, we must give a thunderous blow, and there must be no possibility of Sihai Trading Company coming back.
Otherwise, once Sihai Trading Company is revived.
It will definitely turn around successfully, and it will not be good for both of us by then."
After listening to Liang Shangyi's words, Lizhu did not give an answer immediately, but said: "We have our own arrangements for this matter. As long as it does not affect the progress of the war, what we do is our business, so you don't need to worry about the Chamber of Commerce.
"
Liang Shangyi also knew that Dazhou and Heiya were very cautious in using Qin Che and Shangguan Ling.
There is nothing that can be done about it, this is all Da Zhou has.
If you fail, the loss will be irreversible.
"What you do is of course your own choice, but our agreement also makes it clear.
If you cannot complete the landing on the island, everything you promised before will be void." After signing the agreement, Liang Shangyi's attitude was not as gentle as before.
It's a completely business-like attitude.
"I know the content of the agreement, and you don't need to remind me. If Shopkeeper Liang has nothing else to do, please come back first. I think the Chamber of Commerce also needs Shopkeeper Liang to come back and help." Lizhu also had a dissatisfied attitude.
Those who show weakness take the initiative to chase people away.
After Liang Shangyi got up, he once again reminded Lizhu in a friendly manner what failure meant to both parties, and then left Heiya.
After Liang Shangyi left Heiya, Li Zhu immediately went to Daodaoshan to discuss the matter with Qin Che.
Let’s see if Qin Che can go and take over the business island.
Lizhu found Qin Che and told Qin Che the cause and effect of the incident.
Also waiting for Qin Che's answer.
"I can accompany you to that commercial island. I also plan to bring back some materials there to improve the level of Dao Mountain's formation."
Qin Che, who has already entered the True Spirit Realm, is really not afraid of Sihai Trading Company at all.
After getting Qin Che's permission, Lizhu also left Daodaoshan happily.
Lizhu still has someone to notify.
As for Shangguan Ling, Li Zhu also planned to inform him.
From Lizhu's point of view, the two of them still have some kind of care for each other.
Lizhu didn't know where Shangguan Ling's training place was, but Lizhu knew how to contact Shangguan Ling.
Before Shangguan Ling left Dazhou, he told Lizhu how to contact him.
Lizhu contacted Shangguan Ling with very careful words, and then waited for Shangguan Ling's reply.
Li Zhu did not wait for Shangguan Ling's recovery, but Shangguan Ling Li Zhu did.
After Shangguan Ling arrived, he directly asked Lizhu: "Is it true that you said that Sihai Trading Company may be defeated?"
Facing Shangguan Ling, Li Zhu was still quite shy and cautious.
"Yes.
If senior has any questions, I can ask Shopkeeper Liang from the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce to come over, and senior can ask in person.
They are still at the inn and have not left yet."
Shangguan Ling thought for a moment and decided to meet Liang Shangyi in person.
Lizhu's judgment is Lizhu's judgment. After all, Lizhu is young and lacks experience in the world.
Shangguan Ling is different, she is much more experienced than Li Zhu Jianghu.
Liang Shangyi had expected that Qin Che or Shangguan Ling might meet him in person.
Therefore, facing Shangguan Ling, Liang Shangyi still behaved very calmly.
Faced with Shangguan Ling's questioning, he panicked when he should be panicked, remained calm when he should be calm, and showed his timidity when he should be timid.
After all, he also has the support of a strong man from the Cave Heaven Realm behind him, so Liang Shangyi can still act in front of Shangguan Ling very calmly.
After some questioning, Shangguan Ling also asked Liang Shangyi to leave.
After Liang Shangyi left, Li Zhu also asked Shangguan Ling: "Senior, did you discover anything abnormal?"
Shangguan Ling shook his head truthfully: "There is nothing unusual. What Liang Shangyi said should be true."
After a pause, the conversation changed to Shangguan Ling and said: "It's just Sihai Trading Company. It's really going to end like this so quickly."
Shangguan Ling still knows a lot about Sihai Trading Company, so Shangguan Ling is so cautious about this matter.
Lizhu said on the side: "Perhaps it is because the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce was fully prepared and had a good plan that the Sihai Commercial Bank failed so quickly."
Shangguan Ling couldn't find the second possibility, so he could only nod his head to express his agreement with Lizhu's statement.
"Senior, if that's the case, when do you think it would be more appropriate for us to start arranging to land on the island?" Lizhu did not decide the time to land on the island alone, but asked Shangguan Ling.
Shangguan Ling was not arbitrary about this matter, but said to Li Zhu: "You can ask your naval marshal to see when he thinks the best time to land on the island is."
"Okay, just follow what senior said."
Li Zhu actually thought so too. After all, the person who knew the sea best was definitely Feng Hai.
It is most appropriate to let Feng Hai judge this time.
The letter sent to Feng Hai was quickly sent back by Hai Dongqing.
The landing time given by Feng Hai is half a month later.
The sea surface environment and weather environment at that time may be the most suitable for landing.
After all, Feng Hai has been wandering at sea all his life. Judging the future weather based on water temperature and weather conditions is a basic operation.
Moreover, Feng Hai's accuracy in judging the weather was extremely high, much higher than Qin Che's later weather forecasts.
Li Zhu definitely trusted Feng Hai's judgment, so the landing time was set in half a month.
Knowing the landing time and who was logged in, Liang Shangyi was also ecstatic.
Originally, the bottom line of the leader of the Four Seas Commercial Guild was either Qin Che or Shangguan Ling, but this time he directly deceived both of them, which is definitely a great achievement.
