Chapter 85 Business Integration >

d Zhang Liyang had no intention of dodging it either!Still as a mountain!Under the power of Xiao Shen Tong, Zhang Li Yang's physical body was as solid as a mountain. Even Ta Ko Li's full strength arro..."Would you like to form a caravan"

"Well, Your Highness, what do you think"

Without answering Zhang Liyang, Mu Yinghua instead asked, "Are we out of money"

"It's about right," Zhang Liyang didn't hide it, "Based on the current situation, we can hold out for about half a year."

"Am I using too much"

"His Highness' words, His Highness uses every penny for the blade and it is necessary." Zhang Liyang saw Mu Yinghua feeling a little guilty and quickly comforted, "It's just that Feilong City is currently in a state of disrepair, and a large amount of funds must be injected."

"After this difficult period, everything will get better."

"Well, I believe you!"

Mu Yinghua nodded, her self-blame eased a little. "Then what are you planning to sell with your caravan"

"Currently, in Fei Long City, there are very few goods that can be used directly," Zhang Liyang slowly expressed his thoughts. "So I have an idea."

"Our city of Fei Long is abundant in jade, but it's mined and sold individually by various vendors."

I was thinking, could we organize a unified mining operation We could purchase the mined jade at a slightly discounted price from the normal market rate and then sell it collectively to external buyers.

Listening to Zhang Liyang's words, Mu Yinghua was also thinking seriously, "Are you trying to make a profit from the difference"

"Yes," Zhang Liyang nodded, "When the jade is unified in our hands, we will have the right to set a new price!"

But would those merchants agree

Most of them, after all, they can directly save the transportation time and cost. It's not peaceful outside Flying Dragon City, and they also need to spend costs to protect the goods. Although they earn a little less, they save time and increase the quantity, so in the end, they may actually earn more.

"And we also have two natural advantages."

Oh Which two

"First of all, there is the immense prestige of Your Highness. With Your Highness's appearance, most resistance would be eliminated."

"The second point is that there are no large families like the Three Great Families in Feilong City. This means there are no major forces entrenched here, and many things will become much easier to handle."

Hearing Zhang Liyang's words, Mu Yinghua rolled her eyes. "I think the second advantage is the real one."

"Your Highness, that's not right! The first advantage is the true advantage after all. Because in the end, it’s people who control everything, isn't it"

Looking at Zhang Liyang's deliberate expression of innocence and grievance, Mu Yinghua couldn't help but smile. "Hmph, I'll believe you this once."

Since gaining control of Feilong City, Mu Yinghua has rarely shown such an attitude. She only manages to display the demeanor of a young girl when she is with Zhang Liyang.

For Zhang Liyang's words, Mu Yinghua almost had 100% trust. Therefore, the next day, Mu Yinghua turned Zhang Liyang's words into regulations and issued them out.

Just as Zhang Liyang had anticipated, with no major powers entrenched in the city and with Mu Yinghua's guarantee like a living bodhisattva, the vast majority of merchants readily accepted it.

They are not stupid either. Although the prices have dropped a little, their costs have also gone down. With increased volume, they actually earn more.

As for the very small number of businesses, they don't affect the big picture at all, and Zhang Liyang is too lazy to care about them.

Once the frontend was handled, Zhang Liyang, using Mu Yinghua's name, called all the jade merchants together for a meeting.

The meeting was mainly to express gratitude to the merchants for their support, and to understand where these merchants specifically sell jade.

The meeting lasted the whole morning, and Zhang Liyang also put together a document detailing the business partners of these gem merchants.

After organizing and removing the scattered businesses, Zhang Liyang discovered that two large businesses were acquiring these jade stones.

One is the Guheng Chamber of Commerce, and the other is the Yujing Chamber of Commerce.

"Yuanli."

"Sir."

Send a few people to Liangzhou City to investigate these two trading guilds. Get as much information as possible.

With no one else available nearby, Zhang Liyang could only have these soldiers do some other work.

"Yes, sir. I'll arrange it right away."

Although Zhang Liyang learned some information about the two trade guilds from those merchants, he still wanted to find out for himself.

While Yuan Li's people were out gathering information, Zhang L iyang visited several jade processing workshops and found that the jade processing technology in Feilong City was only average.

Only after finding out the details did I realize that Ci Lai had taken all those master craftsmen away in order to enjoy that exquisite jade carving for himself!

Damn procrastinator!

Zhang Liyang, after learning the truth, could only helplessly utter a curse.

Although raw ore can be sold, Zhang Liyang also knows that processed goods are more valuable.

It's just so-so, better than nothing at least.

Comforting himself, Zhang Liyang didn't go back, but continued to wander around other places. In the end, he even bought a bunch of miscellaneous things and tinkered with them alone.

For several days, Zhang Liyang stayed alone in a quiet room. He came out a few times during this period, and each time he returned with some fruit.

Others might find it strange but wouldn't think much of it, only Zhang Liyang himself understands what he is doing.

If fruit transportation is difficult, then let's change the way we transport it, such as fermenting it into wine!

Although this world has wine, it's all white wine, and there isn't a single fruit wine. This gave Zhang Liyang an opportunity to get rich.

In his past life, Zhang Liyang had also brewed some fruit wine for himself. However, many of the ingredients that were common in his previous life were now unavailable in this one.

So Zhang Liyang could only experiment on his own, striving to find some substitutes as soon as possible.

"Master, they're back."

After nearly half a month, Yuan Li's people returned, and Zhang Liyang finally came out of that room.

As Yuan Li passed by Zhang Liyang, his nose twitched slightly. He faintly smelled a fruity scent and a hint of alcohol on Zhang Liyang's body.

"See the master!"

In the hall, several soldiers disguised as commoners immediately saluted when they saw Zhang Liyang.

From the dust on these people, it's clear they arrived here straight from Flying Dragon City to report.

"Don't just stand there, have some water and sit down first."

Zhang Liyang said to sit down, but these soldiers just drank water standing up and reported the information they had gathered.

Both chambers of commerce's situations were similar to what the merchants had said, the only difference was that more information was gathered about the backing forces behind these two chambers of commerce.

"Qingyi Men, Liuli Palace!"

The ancient Heng Merchant Guild is backed by the Qingyi Sect, while the Jade Jing Merchant Guild is backed by the Liuli Palace!

These two schools are both within the Jianghu of the Dagan Dynasty. Among them, Qingyi Gate is stronger than Liuli Palace.esses the power to vanquish demons and bring clarity.""Great stuff!"Holding this ancient jade in his hand, Zhang Liyang's face lit up with joy.The air of heaven and earth is something that requires cu...
