Chapter 99 The situation is rising in all directions!
Zhuang's Trading Company rose to prominence in the Eastern Yuan territory of the Chu Dynasty within a few years, and its business spread across six places, flourishing like a boom.
The person in charge is named Fu Lao. He is in his sixtieth year. He is strategizing and strategizing. He started from a humble place and forcibly took root in the six places of Dongyuan Realm.
But not long ago, Zhuang's trading company was attacked, causing heavy casualties. Fu Lao was seriously injured and fell unconscious. Yue Ting was in charge of everything in the three places and had great power.
Of course, Zhuang's firm also had many stewards assisting it, rather than Yue Ting being the sole supporter.
The origin of the murderer is unknown, and there is now no trace. The Dongyuan Realm officials have been investigating the case for many days, but to no avail.
Seeing that Zhuang's trading company's business in the six places, Fang, Jiang and Yong are gradually declining.
Yue Ting, who was temporarily in charge of Mr. Fu, also became very important in the eyes of all parties.
But today, Yue Ting, who should have been too busy to be busy, actually went to Yingdong Port, where overseas merchant ships come and go, and inevitably attracted the attention of all parties.
The news continued to spread, reaching the ears of all parties in Fang, Jiang, and Yong.
Even in other places, news has spread, because there are many forces outside the three places who are also eyeing Zhuang's Trading Company.
Because of Zhuang's Trading Company, its business is booming and its financial resources are strong.
If you can get a piece of the pie, you can make a lot of money.
——
"Master, the spy has sent news."
"Well, Yue Ting's visit to Yingdong Port is nothing more than to welcome merchant ships from overseas."
I saw an old man in his sixties, standing with his hands behind his hands, and said slowly: "Either the overseas merchant ships have brought valuable goods, and they need to be escorted by Yue Ting, the master of the third level of martial arts, or... there is a noble person, let Yue Ting
A nobleman who the court has no choice but to welcome in person."
"Noble?"
"Zhuang's Trading Company emerged in Dongyuan. Some people have overlooked this point, but I often wonder, Zhuang's Trading Company... why is Zhuang's Trading Company?"
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Which one of Yue Ting's surname is Yue, Fu Laogui, Zheng Yuanshan, Yuan Tao and others is named Zhuang? Why do you think it is Zhuang's firm? None of them have the surname Zhuang, so who is named Zhuang?"
"Master, do you think they all work for others?"
"It must be so. When they came to Dongyuan Realm, they had a lot of goods, a lot of gold and silver, and they came with a foundation. After a few years, they recruited a lot of people, stewards, guards, servants, etc., all
People from Dongyuan Realm have made many people forget that they were originally outsiders."
As he spoke, the old man continued: "Now that Zhuang's Trading Company has suffered such a big loss, Fu Laogui is about to die and Yue Ting can't support it alone. However, the branches of Zhuang's Trading Company in the other three places, Zheng Yuanshan and Yuan Tao United, all have
The spirit of self-reliance divides the business of the three places."
"Although in my eyes, this Yue Ting is not very smart, in fact he is also a quick-thinking person. If he cannot hold on himself, he must seek help from overseas."
"It's just that I'm still confused. Will it be the real owner of Zhuang's Trading Company? Or are they just sending a group of confidants to help Yue Ting?"
"However, this is not important. Where the vast sea is, only my land of Chu is the most prosperous. Other places overseas are mostly uncivilized places and are not as good as my land of Chu..."
"Even if the place where Yue Ting comes from is not a barbarian land, it will definitely not be as prosperous as our great Chu state. The so-called Chi Xiao has a shallow vision, so there is no need to be too wary of the coming people."
——
"Master, this is new news."
"Hmm? Yue Ting arrived at Yingdong Port early in the morning?" the middle-aged man said thoughtfully.
"Exactly, he led twelve people and waited for three hours and has not left yet."
"He can't handle all the major and trivial matters in the three places. How can he still go out to meet the waiting people in Dongbu?"
The middle-aged man thought deeply: "Something strange happened. I think the person or thing he is waiting for must be very important. Keep watching. If there is any news, report it immediately."
"yes!"
——
"Master, look."
"Yes." The old man stood with his hands behind his hands and said, "Watch Yue Ting carefully, look at the merchant ship he is welcoming, and check what kind of goods are being transported and who is coming."
"It's mainly about people. Be sure to carefully look at the people Yue Ting greets, especially the people who ask Yue Ting to show respect. That may be the owner of Zhuang's Trading Company, or a person with higher authority than Yue Ting."
"Yes."
——
"Well, Yue Ting is a person with high eyes and unruly attitude. If he can go to greet him in person, he must have an extraordinary status. Looking at his respectful attitude, you can determine whether he is the real owner of Zhuang's Trading Company.
."
"Zuo Ping, ask your eyeliner to pay attention to Yue Ting's attitude to see if he is respectful enough."
"My subordinate understands."
"Oh...what a troubled time it has been."
——
"Damn it!"
"This time, Zhuang's Trading Company was severely damaged. Fu Lao is about to die. Yue Ting only has a martial artist, so there is nothing to worry about. I thought I could take over the business from the three places."
"We ignored it and never thought that Zhuang's Trading Company could seek help from overseas."
"Then let's see who is coming!"
"I want to see, now that the overall situation is about to be decided, and the business of Zhuang's firm in the three places will be replaced, what kind of person Yue Ting invites will be able to deal with the situation when he has just arrived and is not familiar with the place.
, turn things around!”
——
"grown ups……"
"I've seen it."
"what do you mean?"
"It doesn't matter, the situation has collapsed. No matter how smart a person is, he or she is new to the situation and cannot turn things around in such a situation."
"just in case……"
"What if? The forces coming from overseas will be suppressed by all the forces working together. Does he still have the power to suppress the major forces in the three places of Dongyuan Realm?"
"In the past, when Zhuang's Trading Company was first established, wasn't it also suppressed by the forces of small places? It's just that I didn't pay attention at the time, which allowed Zhuang's Trading Company to become a phenomenon. Later, we also ignored the origin of Zhuang's Trading Company, and basically defaulted to the local
The rising trading house..."
"Now that Yue Ting invites people from overseas to take power, everyone will rise up and attack him."
"The overall situation is decided. No matter who comes, they can't change the result of our carving up Zhuang's Trading Company."
"Besides, in a foreign barbarian land, what kind of master can there be?"
——
Three places away.
Branch of Zhuang's Trading Company.
At that time, there were dozens of people who were assigned by Zhuang Ming to go out to sea to open up trading companies. However, after several years, the business field became like a battlefield, involving disputes over interests, and inevitably the number of people was lost.
Nowadays, there are not many old people left.
The two people here, one civilized and one military, are also among the few old people from their hometown.
"Yuan Tao, news just came that Yue Ting has arrived at Yingdong Port today." Zheng Yuanshan, who was about fifty years old, looked solemn.
"What do you mean?" Yuan Tao, who is in his forties and wears a long sword on his waist, was startled at first when he heard this, and then felt slightly stunned.
"What else can it mean? Yingdong Port faces the east. All ships going to and from the east sea come and go from there. Aren't we also coming from there?" Zheng Yuanshan sighed, stroking his beard.
"You mean, someone from the Dongsheng Dynasty has come?" Yuan Tao's expression changed slightly.
"Otherwise, Yue Ting is waiting for a shipment of goods to relieve the current crisis?"
"That's right. In the current situation, Fu Lao is seriously injured and is about to die. Yue Ting cannot support him. You and I stand by and watch. He will definitely ask for help. I wonder who will come?"
"Except for me, the only three of the young master's subordinates who are capable of handling important matters are Lu He, Yue Yang, and Bai Lao. The others are not capable of controlling the overall situation, even Bai Qing, who is just a martial artist." Zheng Yuanshan stood with his hands behind his back.
He solemnly said: "I guess the situation is like this, and it will be difficult for Mr. Bai to control it even if he comes. What's more, he is old and frail and may not be able to cross the ocean. Considering this, I am afraid that the young master will come."
"This..." Yuan Tao hesitated slightly.
"Yue Ting asked for help. The young master came here, but he didn't even tell you or me. I'm afraid..." Zheng Yuanshan said silently.
"Young Master is planning something, he is very resourceful and ruthless, what should we do?" Yuan Tao sighed.
"how?"
Zheng Yuanshan mused: "This is not the small Dongsheng Dynasty, but the overseas Chu Dynasty. No matter how smart he is, he is not a god, but a young man with disabled legs and a weak body. When he first arrived here, he was
It is not easy to turn the situation around in a completely unfamiliar and harsh situation."
"Furthermore, he was able to create such a great business in the Dongsheng Dynasty, and he was very confident that he relied on the force of Qian Yang and Yin Ming without any scruples. But there are many martial arts masters in the Chu Dynasty, even you
They have both set foot in the Grandmaster realm, and he cannot accomplish anything with just two martial arts practitioners at the third level."
"Let's take a look first. Yue Ting is responsible for all the affairs in the three places, which is enough for him to keep busy."
"Since we didn't inform you and me, then we can just pretend that we didn't know about it and avoid being held accountable in the future."
——
The vast sea.
Merchant ships come and go.
Some go to sea and some enter port.
Yue Ting looked at the sea quietly.
The guards behind him did not dare to say anything, but they also showed an impatient tone.
Yue Ting seemed displeased with this at first, but later paid no attention to it.
It was a little quieter now, and he didn't blame these people for being impatient. After all, they were recruited locally and had never seen the young master's methods.
Only he, Yue Ting, knows what kind of ingenuity, scheming, and ruthlessness his own son, who founded a trading company in Huai'an for several years, was able to gain a foothold overseas, not only because of Fu Lao's scheming, but also because of the master's.
Tip bag.
Many times, even Mr. Fu would borrow the white eagle to ask the young master for advice.
These ignorant guys had no idea what Yue Ting's expectations were.
I look forward to the arrival of the young master to stabilize the overall situation, counterattack all parties, find out the inner ghost, and defeat the forces behind the murderer.
Moreover, the two masters Qian Yang and Yin Ming are extremely powerful, even among the masters. Even Yue Ting, who has now broken through the third level of martial arts, feels that he will not be the opponent of the two masters.
"coming!"
Yue Ting's eyes lit up.
He had excellent eyesight and saw the building ship on the sea.
That building boat is different from the boats here.
It has a special style and looks like a warship. It was modified from the warships of the Dongsheng Dynasty and became suitable for long-distance voyages.
At this moment, Yue Ting was extremely excited.
"The master is finally here!"
He patted his clothes, tidied his hair, and took a deep breath.
I can't help but feel like a traveler who is away from home and welcomes an old mother here to visit, which makes people want to cry.
——
On top of the building ship.
"Sir, we've reached the front."
"Well, tidy up."
Zhuang Ming nodded, walked out of the room, came to the bow of the ship, and looked at the land in the distance.
That is the legendary Tianyu Blessed Land.
The first blessed place in Dongzhou!
The most prosperous area!
Created a great world of spiritual practice in Dongzhou!
After several years of planning, it’s finally here!
——
The ship finally docked.
The thirteen people on the shore were extremely conspicuous.
Especially the person at the head, who was wearing a light yellow gown, looked noble and gorgeous. He held his head high and his chest upright, with a smile that he wanted to hide but couldn't, and he wanted to be serious but couldn't help laughing.
"This coquettish guy still hasn't changed at all."
Bai Qing slowly exhaled and sighed.
Zhuang Ming nodded with a smile and said, "Get ready to unload the cargo. Let's get off the ship."
——
Zhuang Ming, Shuang Ling, Lu He, Bai Qing, and Liu He all got off the boat and stood on the shore.
After many days of sailing, I felt like I was floating on the ground, but now I finally have my feet on the ground, and I can’t help but feel a little bit sad.
And Yue Ting had already come up to him with a smile on his face.
"Master..."
As soon as he got closer, Yue Ting showed a look of astonishment, as if he couldn't believe it.
