Discussing Cooperation
The reason why the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce is able to lead all the major chambers of commerce in the Heavenly Fall Continent is simply because the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce has achieved a level of service in terms of goods that other chambers of commerce cannot match.
They offer a wider variety of goods than other chambers of commerce, and the quality is generally higher. They also sell a greater variety of treasures at lower prices.
As for acquiring items, they can offer reasonable and acceptable prices.
In short, it is their strong financial backing that allows them to stand out from other chambers of commerce.
"It seems we still need to have Xue'er focus on her old profession and run a merchant guild in the Eternal Night Continent."
The prerequisite is that he must be able to acquire enough attractive goods.
Or perhaps we can find more supply chains.
"I've got it!" Lu Qing'an had a flash of inspiration, and a smile appeared on his face as he thought of a solution.
"With Xue'er's business acumen and unique operating model, she can rise to prominence instantly given the right conditions. Right now, the Eternal Night Continent has nothing. I can first introduce more capital, allowing it to develop within the continent. Then, I'll let Xue'er leech off this capital, helping Xue'er become a new source of capital!"
The entire continent belongs to him, and with Xue Tianfei's business acumen, after some restructuring, it's quite possible that he could achieve the perfect result he desires!
Thinking of this, he suddenly gave the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce a meaningful look.
"Since we're already here, why not try talking to the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce?"
The Qian Household Chamber of Commerce headquarters isn't here; this is just a branch of the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce on the Heavenly Fall Continent. But if he talks to the branch president here, he might be able to get in touch with the higher-ups at the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce headquarters.
"The Seven Heavens Continent, which is rising rapidly, is an extremely large and promising market for these capital groups. In their eyes, the Eternal Night Continent should be quite attractive."
Thinking of this, Lu Qing'an looked at Qian Lele, who was leading him around the Chamber of Commerce, and said, "I want to discuss a business deal with your Chamber of Commerce president. Do you have a way to let me see him?"
Qian Lele smiled and said, "Senior, is there anything you want to sell to us? Actually, you don't need to see our guild leader. I can connect you with our hall master and get a satisfactory price for your items!"
Lu Qing'an calmly said, "It's not about selling you anything, but about discussing a far-reaching collaboration with your association president."
Qian Lele blinked, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then please wait a moment, senior, while I go and report to our guild leader."
"Go ahead," Lu Qing'an said calmly.
Qian Lele nodded repeatedly and scurried away from where she stood. About fifteen minutes later, she returned to Lu Qing'an in a flash.
"Senior, this way please! Our guild leader happens to be free!"
Actually, their leader didn't want to meet anyone, but after hearing that Lu Qing'an was a Peak Sovereign Realm expert, he became interested.
After all, in the Seven Heavens Continent, even a Peak Sovereign Realm is an extremely powerful being. It's hard to say whether they might actually be discussing some big business deal.
Before long, Lu Qing'an followed Qian Lele to an elegant residence behind the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce.
He met with the branch president of the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce.
An elderly man in a white robe with a full head of white hair, his face full of a kind smile.
His cultivation level is the same as Lu Qing'an's, both at the Peak Sovereign Realm.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist! My name is Qian Jiahe. May I ask your name?" Qian Jiahe greeted him with a smile, gesturing for Lu Qing'an to sit down.
Lu Qing'an glanced at Qian Jiahe casually and could sense that Qian Jiahe's cultivation level was not simple, and was not much weaker than Li Wensong.
However, it seemed to him that there was no hope of reaching the Eternal Realm in this lifetime.
Because Li Wensong's aura is stronger and more energetic than Qian Jiahe's, and if Li Wensong can only reach the Peak Sovereign Realm, then it is even less likely that Qian Jiahe can break through to the Eternal Realm.
"My surname is Lu, but people usually call me the Eternal Night Demon Emperor," Lu Qing'an replied calmly.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Lu. May I ask what kind of cooperation you wish to discuss with me?" Qian Jiahe didn't waste any words and immediately asked Lu Qing'an with a smile.
Lu Qing'an, too lazy to waste words, went straight to the point. "Fellow Daoist, have you heard of a continent in a nearby star field called the Eternal Night Continent, where someone has broken through to the Seventh Heaven?"
Qian Jiahe: "Eternal Night Continent? Oh! That continent! I've heard of it! Could it be that the business you want to discuss with me has something to do with this continent?"
Lu Qing'an said, "I have made a contract with this continent. It has just broken through to the Seven Heavens Continent, and many things are still in their infancy. I wonder if your Qian Household Chamber of Commerce is interested in investing in my continent? Or opening a branch in my continent?"
Qian Jiahe was stunned.
You made a contract with that Seven Heavens Continent???
After hearing that a Seven Heavens Continent had appeared, the Qian Household immediately sent people to investigate. For their merchant guild, a Seven Heavens Continent was quite valuable.
Unexpectedly, before the people they sent could even conduct a detailed assessment, someone from the mainland came looking for them.
Most importantly, the visitor even claimed to have made a contract with that continent!
"Fellow Daoist, are you joking with me? Aren't you only at the Peak Sovereign Realm?" Qian Jiahe carefully examined Lu Qing'an and said with a smile.
The Heavenly Dao of the Seven Heavens Continent is at least at the Late Sovereign Realm. With the support of the continent, dealing with a Peak Sovereign Realm expert is a piece of cake!
The Heavenly Dao of that continent must be out of its mind to form a contract with someone at the Peak Sovereign Realm!
Lu Qing'an: "I will prove later that you can also send someone over there. For now, let's talk first. After we reach an agreement, I will arrange everything."
Qian Jiahe stared intently at Lu Qing'an, his mind filled with doubt.
A madman at the Peak Sovereign Realm?
That can't be right. What is this guy's purpose in coming here?
However, this person also claimed to be able to prove...
Since I'm bored anyway, I'll try talking to him and see what his true intentions are!
"Then tell me, fellow Daoist, I'm listening," Qian Jiahe said with a smile.
Lu Qing'an stated his thoughts directly.
He can lease the land to the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce!
They established various smaller branches throughout the continent.
The right to use the product can be negotiated for many years.
Furthermore, they could sign an agreement in which he guaranteed that only three chambers of commerce of the same level as the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce would be introduced to the mainland.
"I will also ensure that the Heavenly Dao cooperates fully with your work, so that your chamber of commerce can develop on our continent as soon as possible. Most importantly, we will not take a single penny of the profits your chamber of commerce makes afterward. We will only charge the initial land rent."
For such high-level chambers of commerce, real business is not simply about buying and selling goods.
There are also various other services.
Utilize the land to cultivate various things, such as planting medicinal herbs and cultivating mineral veins.
In advanced continents, land is an extremely valuable resource!
Not to mention the help of Heavenly Dao!
The Qian Household Chamber of Commerce was able to open a branch in the Heavenly Fall Continent because it negotiated an agreement with the continent regarding profit sharing for future operations.
