Chapter 135 The business alliance is out of money.
"Yue, I sensed the ghost clone, have you returned to the Merchant Alliance?" As soon as the group stepped into Fangquan City, He Wenlong's voice rang in Ling Qingzhu's ears, but it revealed an unconcealable feeling.
exhausted.
"Well, come back and do some errands. I will leave again soon. How is the thing I asked you to do?" Ling Qingzhu also sent a voice message to He Wenlong as the ghost clone in the shadow.
"Although I don't know what the purpose of building this thing is, we have indeed encountered some difficulties. We have enough manpower, and I have more than twenty Tiangang Emperors on standby at any time, but our merchant alliance has no money."
"Even the resources obtained from Yunlan Kingdom have been invested. With only the income from Fangquan City and the Li family alliance, I am afraid that we can only last for another half month at most before stopping."
Ling Qingzhu also knew that this project not only required manpower and material resources, but would also have an impact on the emperor's strength in the Merchant Alliance, but she could not stop it.
Not to mention anything else, it is no exaggeration to say that this project is related to the merchant alliance for generations to come.
"Long, this matter cannot be stopped. You will have to work hard next. I promise that you will not be disappointed with what you will get after it is completed. Now give me an order. The business alliance will resume normal business from now on, and those who have not yet been
All the properties and shops lost during the evacuation cannot be recovered after the sale, and two Tiangang Emperors will be sent to each branch of the Merchant Alliance."
"After that, I will take out the cultivation spirit liquid that assists the God Refining Realm and the Soul Forging Realm as a new product of the Merchant Alliance. This time our customer target will be changed to those fourth-level and fifth-level cultivation countries. If necessary, we can use it as appropriate.
By cooperating with Yu Huang, one of the three true emperors in the Southern Territory, I believe he won't mind taking the strength of Yu Realm to a higher level. You can just tell Liu Qi about this, and he will know what to do."
"good."
After one reply, He Wenlong's voice disappeared.
"Tiandao, don't let me down!"
Ling Qingzhu opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the large formation arranged in the sky on top of the merchant alliance in the center of Fangquan City, and couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in her heart.
Not long after the carriage entered the city, Ling Qingzhu saw a figure waiting in front. It was Ning Dong'er who arrived at Fangquan City early to book an inn room with her True King cultivation.
Currently, only the headquarters of the Merchant Alliance in Fangquan City and the branch alliance in Li Country are still operating normally. There are naturally countless monks coming in and out, and many inns have long been full. If you want to have a decent place to live, you need to spend more than just money.
It’s expensive and can only be booked in advance.
By the way, Fangquan City is the headquarters of the Merchant Alliance. Apart from the City Lord's Mansion, which is the name of the city, it has long since lost the existence of other forces, including the inn, which is also an industry of the Merchant Alliance.
After all, since it is a merchant alliance, it would be ridiculous if they only sell elixirs.
After several people went to the inn room, Ning Donger closed the door and suddenly said coyly: "Well, Miss Ke, Miss Lulian, after you join the business alliance, if you have a chance, can you help me keep an eye on someone?"
"I have a cousin who is in the God Refining Realm, but there was no news from him four years ago. Later I inquired and found out that he had joined the Merchant Alliance. Now I don't know whether he is dead or alive."
Not only Ling Qingzhu, but also Ke Yimeng and Lu Lian were not familiar with Ning Dong'er. They only knew that she was the true king sent by Ling Xue to protect a few people.
However, Ke Yimeng was kind-hearted, and now that they were eating and living together, he nodded and agreed, saying, "If I have the chance, I will try my best. What's the name of your cousin?"
Ling Qingzhu also listened with her ears pricked up, and was also very curious about this point. She was able to join the Merchant Alliance four years ago because she personally selected all of them. If she could survive, she would already be the backbone of the Merchant Alliance.
Then Ling Qingzhu heard Ning Donger say a name that was so familiar to her that she couldn't be more familiar with it.
"His name is Liu Qi."
"He is the son of my father's sworn brother. We grew up together. Although our relationship has faded a lot since I became the true king, and we have not even seen each other in recent decades, our parents are both deceased, so we can be considered upper class.
The last continuation of a relationship of a generation, he suddenly disappeared, I can't sit idly by and watch."
Ning Dong'er's tone was calm. Now that she had spoken, the hesitation she had before speaking instantly disappeared, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
"Liu Qi..."
Ling Qingzhu was speechless in her heart. She didn't know if there were other Liu Qi in the business alliance, but she knew such a Liu Qi, and her intuition told her that Ning Donger's cousin was the Liu Qi she knew.
Ling Qingzhu understands cause and effect, fate, but sometimes coincidences really make her have to accept them.
"I will try my best to help find out about your cousin, but I hope you don't have too high hopes. Even if I can join the merchant alliance, I will definitely start from the bottom."
"No, Miss Ke just needs to pay more attention to me and don't take the initiative to inquire."
Ning Donger was very moved when she heard that Ke Yimeng agreed to her request to help find out about Liu Qi, but she immediately stopped her.
Then he explained: "To be honest, I have told people in the business alliance before, but as soon as they heard that the cousin I was looking for was named Liu Qi, they immediately changed their attitude and kept silent no matter how I asked.
Say nothing."
Seeing Ning Dong'er, a true king, have such a serious attitude, Ke Yimeng couldn't help but be infected and became serious.
Although curious in their hearts, Ke Yimeng and Lu Lian still restrained themselves from casting inquiring glances at Ling Qingzhu.
After all, they also knew that no small move could escape the eyes of Ning Donger, the true king.
"I'm tired after traveling for such a long time. Cultivation also requires a combination of work and rest to get twice the result with half the effort. Let's take a good rest today. Yimeng and Lulian, you guys haven't taken a bath for so long, so you probably want to wash yourself well. I'll ask the shopkeeper to give it to you.
Bring a few buckets of water and prepare some food."
"Yeah." Ke Yimeng nodded.
Then Ling Qingzhu whispered something in her ear, then smiled and left with an excuse.
…
With Ling Qingzhu's current level of cultivation, traveling to and from the Merchant Alliance headquarters is like a deserted place. If she doesn't want to, she won't be able to find her in the magical realm.
The place where this trip went was naturally the main hall of the Merchant Alliance headquarters where Liu Qi was located, which was supposed to be the alliance leader's palace, but she was not here, so only the deputy alliance leader was in charge.
However, when Ling Qingzhu stepped in quietly, Liu Qi, the deputy leader of the Merchant Alliance who was one person below ten thousand people and now held great power, was not doing well, and his face was covered with sadness.
But who made Ling Qingzhu the boss?
Just tell someone what you want to do and let others do it, without even thinking about the number of people responsible for completing it.
Money, connections, channels, transportation, and time all required Liu Qi's personal planning.
