Chapter 766
"How long is it...... It was eight years ago. Jia Xiao turned around, whispered a time, and said: "A large 100-ton airship, a medium-sized airship, loaded with precious ores such as light crystals, set sail from the Shui Wu Forest and sailed all the way to the distribution place of Golden Feather City. That is the time when the Shentu family was targeted by Morin's caravan, right? ”
"Well," the female archer nodded, "that order was delivered by Daddy himself, and he died in the incident along with his crew. ”
"I'm sorry......" Hearing the girl's words mention her family, the epee hunter subconsciously apologized, and he let out a long sigh, "I can't believe you haven't mentioned the situation once since we met." ”
"Because there's no need for that," Shentu Miaoling smiled strangely, "This is my family's internal affairs, and I have nothing to do with the teammates of the Little Hunting Group or the companions of the original valley." ”
"Absolutely!" Jia Xiao retorted, then buried his head deeply, and said in a jerky tone, "The original Jia family was one of your distributors. After the incident, Dad got a large amount of liquidated damages, and took advantage of the decline of the Shentu Chamber of Commerce to take over some of your customers and business routes...... Hunter Glory is on top, and we always thought that it was a temporary breach of contract by the Shen Tu family, which packaged and sold the ore to someone with a higher bid. ”
Shentu Miaoling leaned closer to her companion: "That's because my mother used the power of the dealer to find a way to block the news of the caravan robbery." You should understand that the family has suffered such a devastating loss, and if others learn that we are not well guarded and have lost our credibility, the Chamber of Commerce will really fall into a catastrophe. ”
"I remember this because my dad once preached to me – it was more or less like 'showing off'." Jia Xiao recalled, learning his father's tone and saying, "The shopping malls in the New World are no better than the hunting grounds. Even if those powerful hunters retire, they will be admired by thousands of people in their old age, but if a chamber of commerce wants to exist for a long time, it can only continue to seize opportunities and find ways to evolve into a behemoth like blue gold. ”
"Whatever you say about seizing the opportunity, this is just taking advantage of the danger of others." The epee hunter's voice became weaker and weaker, "Now that I think about it, those distributors who go to the Shentu Chamber of Commerce to collect debts, one counts as one, like a group of man-eating sharks......
A business made Shentu Chambers of Commerce break their muscles and bones, and also made the downstream merchants smell the smell of fat. Taking advantage of the shortage of funds in the Shentu Chamber of Commerce and the inability to control the business routes in their hands, dozens of small chambers of commerce rushed up to divide up the resources that belonged to them, and the Jia family was one of the parties who benefited the most in that feast.
"Now that I think about it, the Shentu Chamber of Commerce began to decline at that time...... Among the driving forces of that tragedy, we really also have a share. Jia Xiao said abruptly.
"So, do you want to apologize for your family, for me and my mother?" She looked around, "It's weird to talk about those old things at this time, no matter how you think about it." ”
"Apologizing at this time can't save anything," the collapse of the dealer once became a social topic in Jinyu City, and it also made Shentu Miaoling's past spread in the market. The Shentu Chamber of Commerce lost its former principal, and was burdened with heavy debts, and Miao Ling's mother, who had been ill for a long time, could not support herself, and was canceled from the Chamber of Commerce in a short time. The remaining resources of the Chamber of Commerce were maliciously acquired by the dealer, and Miaoling's mother has since lost the career she has fought for for half her life: "If you want to hate me, you can ......listen to it."
"Hey!" The female archer looked at her frustrated companion, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's not a hate, in the dealer's house, we call this kind of thing 'business'." I've seen a lot more mall tricks at the dealer than I did when I was a kid, and I can see the way it out better than anyone else. ”
Seeing that Jia Xiao still didn't react, Shentu Miaoling simply lay down on her back at the top of the watchtower, letting the scorching sunlight over Shacheng shine on her body, and said, "I don't have much memory of my father. ”
"I just heard my mother tell me intermittently that when he was younger, he started from scratch and bought a poor iron ore that no one wanted to mine," the huntress recalled. As a result, less than half a year after the start of construction, an associated colored crystal was detected below the ore belt. Reserve Discount...... There are probably hundreds of times the value of iron ore. This is the original business of the Shentu Chamber of Commerce, and it is also one of the reasons why the dealer asked his mother to marry him. ”
"At that time, my father had no business routes, no airship team, and no distribution channels, so the dealer invited me to provide so-called help to my father."
The Zhuang family has a big business and many ways, and the father of the female archer can only choose to rely on this big tree temporarily. The stronger side decides who the ore is sold to, how it is sold, and how it is shared. Before Shentu Miaoling's mother came back to her senses, the vein had been completely controlled by the Zhuang family.
It was at that time that the Shentu Chamber of Commerce received that round of orders. There are dozens of scattered orders, but the combined remuneration is much more generous than any one offered by the bookmaker. At that time, the Chamber of Commerce already had its own foundation, and was dissatisfied with accepting Zhuang's control, and already had the idea of flying solo, only missing a successful transaction to accumulate contacts and prove its strength at the same time.
"That's why I'm going to be a hunter anyway, I don't like business." The girl covered the sun with her hands and watched the rays of sunlight trickle through her fingers, "As hunters, we can put our whole body into the wilderness every time we step into it. But on that occasion, the consequences of putting all your eggs in the same basket are usually not too good. ”
"I still vaguely remember that at that time, someone said that the Shentu family may be a rising star in the northern shopping mall." Shentu Miaoling smiled, "But it turns out that it's just a meteor that no one will remember." ”
"Daddy didn't know anything like this had happened at that time......"
"I'm not blaming anyone, my mother and I haven't gotten to the point of complaining." The female archer pursed her lips, "Actually, it was a long time after I entered the valley that I learned about the Jia family - it was Zhuang Dui's guy who told me, he just wanted to disturb my mind. At that time, my mother was in possession of the mining certificate of the Colored Crystal Belt, and in order to obtain it, the dealer did not hesitate to marry me to one of the two disgusting cousins of the lineage. ”
Now Zhuang Du and Zhuang Chen, one of them has been disfigured by the blood of the ancient dragon, and the other is struggling to survive in the prison of the trade union, not to mention the ending of the entire Zhuang family, which can be regarded as they deserve it.
"That was three years ago, right?" Jia Xiao exclaimed, "You already knew all this, why did you never mention it, or even ...... None of them have ever shown it. ”
"From the first moment I heard the news, I didn't mention any hatred." Shentu Miaoling sat up and looked directly at Jia Xiaodao, "It was Mo Lin's subordinates who snatched the materials, and it was the banker's people who shot at the Chamber of Commerce, bought the Chamber of Commerce, and put his mother under house arrest." As for you...... In that situation, you're just doing what everybody would do. Even if the Jia family is missing, the outcome of the Shentu Chamber of Commerce will not change in the slightest, and there is no need to blame yourself for this. ”
"Besides, we're kind of like each other, aren't we?" The girl said with a smile.
"It's more like retribution...... Jia Xiao smiled miserably, "My memory of the incident at my house is much clearer." The same is the distribution of bulk ore, and the same order is split into dozens of downstream dealers. The difference is that Daddy took a channel that had been cultivated by the union for many years and had never been on a business trip. The incident happened strangely, and the principals of the Chamber of Commerce were nervous, and it didn't take long for them to suspect their father. Thinking that he was in the way, he embezzled a boatload full of precious goods. Coupled with several misunderstandings, Daddy failed to defend himself, and he was removed from his position and title in the Chamber of Commerce. ”
"It's really hard to do the same thing over and over again." Shentu Miaoling sighed, "I remember that at the beginning, the ship robbery incident of the Ningyuan Chamber of Commerce in Golden Feather City that was rumored to be in a similar situation. Dozens of subordinate dealers are in the same distribution place and order goods from one seller at the same time, which doesn't seem like a coincidence, right? ”
"You mean......" Jia Xiao slightly put away the bitterness on his face and buried his head in thought.
"Whoever the buyer is, they have the right to know the security of the ship, the time of departure, the route of transport and all the information that could be used to hijack the ship. With a little operation, the success rate is more than 100 times higher than that of a poacher-style random robbery. Shentu Miaoling said firmly, "I'm afraid the villains are hiding among the distributors." ”
"I don't understand, why do you have to get the material this way?" The epee hunter wondered, "They obviously have the ability to pay such a large amount of deposit in a row, so they can't even afford to pay the final payment, right?" ”
"It's very simple, so that once the Chamber of Commerce reports the loss to the Hunter Guild, no one will verify the whereabouts of these materials." The female archer remembered the dragon-shaped weapon she had hand-painted in the camp tent before, and couldn't help but feel a little creepy, "They don't want anyone to know what the 'Eyes of Death' are going to do with those materials. ”
"I still have some original orders and bills at home, maybe there is a way to connect with Maureen." Jia Xiao's spirit perked up, and he stood up stiffly, "I'll send a letter to my father and see if I can find anything useful." ”
The girl made a calm gesture: "After so much time, the people they used to loot the materials are probably long gone." ”
"Even if you can't find Merlin's location with it, it would be nice to be able to cut off some of that guy's wings." Almost instantly, the hunter's way of thinking took over Jia Xiao's head again. The chief deacon is absconding, the Golden Feather City is in chaos, the shadow of war looms over the entire New World, and the current Little Hunter Group and the Black Star Twins are in need of good news, even if it is only a trivial piece of information, it is much better than sitting back and watching the world collapse.
"Hey!" Seeing that his companion stepped on the hanging ladder in a hurry and was about to rush back to the camp, Shentu Miaoling smiled and stopped him, "Between us...... There was never a feud. I know who my real enemies are, and I'm willing to do anything to bring them down, but you're clearly not one of them. ”
"That's good." Jia Xiao also said with relief.
After a lot of trouble, it didn't take long for me to suspect my father. Thinking that he was in the way, he embezzled a boatload full of precious goods. Coupled with several misunderstandings, Daddy failed to defend himself, and he was removed from his position and title in the Chamber of Commerce. ”
