Chapter 191: The Troubles of a Smart Man
Nanyan Domain, the largest restaurant in Jicheng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xu Xiaozhan drank and ate food comfortably, he really had a very leisurely life in the past two days. He didn't cultivate, and after leaving Xiancheng, he came to Jicheng alone, shopping here, eating there, almost exactly the same life as when Liu Pan was idle.
However, Xu Xiaozhan naturally couldn't really live the same life as Liu Pan, and the reason why he was leisurely was to observe the overall business situation of Jicheng and investigate the future expansion of the Baibao Chamber of Commerce. The second is to pass the time, waiting for the arrival of the people from the Lei Sect.
Jicheng is the only town in the southern part of the Nanyan Domain with a teleportation array. It can be said that if the Baibao Chamber of Commerce wants to expand in the Nanyan region, Jicheng is the first town to be taken.
As for the people of Lei Zong, because of that letter, Xu Xiaozhan knew that someone would definitely come, and it was a person of no low status.
In the final analysis, Xu Xiaozhan was still a little apprehensive in his heart. In contact with Lei Zong's people, except for Xie Fu, he didn't mention it to anyone, not even Liu Pan.
Xu Xiaozhan has always been a person with independent ideas. He knows very well that the development of today's Baibao Chamber of Commerce in Zhongzhou is inseparable from the care of Liu Pan and Liu Mad .
And because he can't get out of it, Xu Xiaozhan wants to get out of it. Or maybe he wanted to prove his own abilities.
Xu Xiaozhan has not forgotten what Liu Pan said when he was in Nanjun - "The ultimate goal is the whole world." ā
Because he didn't know the geometry of the world at first, although Xu Xiaozhan felt that this sentence was very difficult, he didn't take it too seriously. It wasn't until he had been operating in Zhongzhou for a period of time and gradually understood the world that he began to realize the horror of this world.
Although the foundation of Xiancheng has been established, Xu Xiaozhan knows very well that wanting to expand is like climbing to the sky.
In the final analysis, it is a question of strength. A businessman with no background of strength wants to develop into the whole world, which is no different from daydreaming.
If you want to develop, you must leverage your strength and have a strong backer.
For the two backers of Liu Pan and Liu Mad, Xu Xiaozhan has not found a monk with the qualifications of the two of them so far, so he does not doubt that these two people can reach the top in the future.
However, the future is the future after all, and what business needs is now.
Xiancheng is a small city on the edge, and there are only a handful of Martial Emperor Realms that are powerful, so the current Baibao Chamber of Commerce can develop like a fish in water.
But if you go out of Xiancheng and go up a few steps to Jicheng, the monks of the Martial Emperor Realm will not mention it for the time being, there are dozens of monks of the Martial Emperor Realm alone, can Liu Pan withstand such pressure?
Xu Xiaozhan didn't want to bury everyone because of his blind development.
In the world of martial arts, the rules and regulations are formulated by the strong, and the strong are not bound by the rules and regulations at all. Therefore, step by step, you need to be careful.
Originally, according to Xu Xiaozhan's plan, when the Baibao Chamber of Commerce wanted to "stand on its feet" in Jicheng, it needed to wait for Liu Pan to get out of the customs, and when the Baibao Chamber of Commerce wanted to expand in Jicheng, it had to wait until Liu Pan or one of Liu Mad cultivated to break through to the realm of Emperor Wu. And for the subsequent greater expansion, it will have to wait until Liu Pan and Liu Mad cultivate to further improve.
It can be said that all the business plans formulated by Xu Xiaozhan rely on the cultivation strength of Liu Pan and Liu Mad .
Now, although the Baibao Chamber of Commerce can provide Liu Pan and Liu Mad with a lot of cultivation resources, fundamentally speaking, because of dependence, the development of the Baibao Chamber of Commerce has always been one step slower than Liu Pan and Liu Mad.
One step apart, the early development may not have too much feeling, but if it is in the later stage, it will be different.
Every expansion of the Chamber of Commerce takes time, from a few days in the early stage to months or even years in the later stage.
Xu Xiaozhan can foresee that according to the normal development of the later stage, the Baibao Chamber of Commerce will not be able to effectively help Liu Pan and Liu Mad at all, and will even drag the two of them back.
If the existence of the Chamber of Commerce dragged Liu Pan and Liu Mad back, Xu Xiaozhan would rather dissolve the Chamber of Commerce......
Perhaps this is the distress that smart people should have, because they always think more than others and see farther than others.
Xu Xiaozhan knew very well that if the future Baibao Chamber of Commerce did not want to drag Liu Pan and Liu Mad back, the only way was to find a more solid backer than Liu Pan and Liu Mad in advance.
Only in this way can the Baibao Chamber of Commerce get rid of its dependence on Liu Pan and Liu Mad and provide more help to the two.
However, is it easy to find a backer? With Xu Xiaozhan's ingenuity, he can naturally come up with many ways to find a backer, but without exception, he will pay too much, and even after finding a backer, he is likely to lose his freedom, and he can no longer help Liu Pan and Liu Mad...... This is not what Xu Xiaozhan wants.
originally considered the problem of finding a backer, but Xu Xiaozhan didn't have much hope. However, when the generator appeared in front of him, Xu Xiaozhan saw unprecedented hope.
It would be a wonderful thing to have Lei Zong as a backer.
Full of wine and food, Xu Xiaozhan looked at the sky and felt that the time was almost up, so he called the shopkeeper to settle the bill, and then walked towards the east city gate step by step with leisurely steps.
The agreed place was under an ancient tree at the ferry by the small river outside the east gate of Jicheng, and the time was in the afternoon.
According to Xu Xiaozhan's estimate, Lei Zong's people were likely to arrive in the morning, but he still waited until the afternoon.
One reason was that he didn't want to wait there to weaken his momentum, and the other reason was that he wanted to have lunch before going.
In contact with Lei Zong's people, although they are confident, no one dares to guarantee that there will be no accidents. Eating enough to go to reincarnation gives people the feeling that it is a comfortable thing after all.
Half an hour later, Xu Xiaozhan came slowly and leisurely to the ancient tree at the crossing of the small river outside the city.
There are people under the tree, two.
One of them was wearing a hat and sitting hunched over the river, holding a green bamboo fishing rod in his hand. Because it's facing away, you can't see your face.
The other man, an older man with an ordinary face and plain clothes, was sitting down on a stone table under a tree and drinking tea. Xu Xiaozhan remembered that he didn't have this stone table when he came here before.
As soon as the thought moved, Xu Xiaozhan swept the two of them with his divine sense, and found nothing special, even the appearance of the angler, which was very ordinary, and looked older than the man drinking tea.
However, although everything was nothing special, after the divine sense was swept over, Xu Xiaozhan still walked over.
"The two seniors came from afar, and the younger generations missed the distance, so I hope you don't be surprised. Xu Xiaozhan bowed respectfully when he spoke.
"Don't talk nonsense, you wrote that letter, tell me, what are you looking for us?" The man at the stone table spoke, looking Xu Xiaozhan up and down as he spoke, and he didn't know if he was curious about Xu Xiaozhan's identity or if he was looking at something else.
Xu Xiaozhan was stunned when he heard this, he guessed the identities of the two people under the tree, but he didn't expect the two to admit it so directly.
It is rumored that the people of the Lei Sect are all straight, and they like to do it when they don't agree with each other. Now this straight character has made Xu Xiaozhan see it, which really makes him a little overwhelmed.
"That letter was indeed written by the juniors, but before the juniors can tell the details, the juniors must first know the specific identities of the two seniors, I wonder if the two seniors can tell me?" Xu Xiaozhan spoke, still in a saluting posture, and the expression on his face was still respectful.
Although he felt straight, Xu Xiaozhan needed to further determine his identity or something, because this was related to the future of the Baibao Chamber of Commerce, and even affected Liu Pan and Liu Mad .
"I am Chen Xuanting, the current head of the Lei Sect, and this is Chen Yiqing, the supreme elder of our Lei Sect, who is fishing next to me. can speak on behalf of the sect, so don't waste time, just say what you have. ā
The man drinking the tea spoke very casually, although he spoke quickly, but there was no impatience at all. And his gaze never left Xu Xiaozhan, and he didn't know what he was looking at.
The head of the Lei Sect and the Supreme Elder of the Lei Sect? At this moment, Xu Xiaozhan was really taken aback, although it was written on his letter that he must be someone who could speak on behalf of the entire Lei Sect, but he never expected that it would be these two great gods.
Moreover, this answer was too direct, Xu Xiaozhan really couldn't believe his ears.
"Well, what the juniors want to talk about is about generators. Because the stakes are so high, the juniors hope that the two seniors can come up with something that can symbolize their status to show the juniors, and then make an oath with their own and the entire Lei Sect's luck to ensure that they will not be unfavorable to the juniors, and that they will take care of the forces behind the juniors in the future, and they will be able to develop steadily in the next hundred years......"
Xu Xiaozhan spoke, and in the end, he really couldn't go on. In the face of two people whose temperament is so straight that he can no longer be straight, he has to go around so many bends and curves, and he simply has a feeling of "unkindness and injustice".
However, because it had to, it had to be done. Xu Xiaozhan finally held back the discomfort and finished speaking.
"Swear by our own luck and that of the entire Lei Sect?"
The middle-aged man was stunned, and his eyes fell on Xu Xiaozhan's face. After a while, he seemed to see that Xu Xiaozhan was not joking, and then he spoke: "Do you think the generator in your mouth has such a great value?"
"Yes. Xu Xiaozhan did not hesitate, nodded directly, and looked serious.
"To be honest, in the eyes of the juniors, it was Lei Zong who took advantage of the trading generator. After all, what Lei Zong has to do is only to protect the juniors and the forces behind them for a hundred years. ā
"A hundred years is not a long time for a cultivator, and the forces behind the younger generation do not need the protection of the entire Lei Sect, all they need is a few people from the Lei Sect and a title protected by the Lei Sect. ā
"And the generator, if this kind of thing is obtained by the Lei Sect, the specific benefits of the juniors do not know, but the juniors believe that the generator can definitely improve the luck of the entire Lei Sect, and even one day in the future, it is very possible for the thunder cultivators of the Tianfeng Continent to counterattack from the weak group to the strongest. ā
"In other directions, for the generator, although the junior has only tested the monks below the Martial King Realm, the level of safety is more than ten times higher than that of the normal cultivation of the Thunder Cultivator. The value of this is already immeasurable. ā
"And the monks above the Martial King Realm, because the juniors don't have the confidence that they can absolutely control the monks above the Martial King Realm, they don't dare to experiment. Generators, once the news leaks, will definitely lead to fatal danger. ā
"According to the estimation of the juniors, the generator can be helpful to the cultivation of cultivators above the Martial King Realm. Of course, the highest level of thunder cultivators is helpful, and the younger generation does not know. Maybe this will help the powerhouses of the Holy Realm......"
"Seniors can imagine that once the generator comes out, in less than a hundred years, the number of thunder cultivators above the Martial King Realm in the Tianfeng Continent can be doubled, and after hundreds of years, it will be able to reach the same number as other spiritual root cultivators. With such a base, if a few more people with qualifications against the sky pop up, with the violent combat power of the thunder system, will it still be weak?"
In short, the above are some of the values of generators in the eyes of younger generations. Of course, whether these values can allow Lei Zong to protect the juniors and the forces behind the juniors for a hundred years has to be judged by the seniors. ā
"If the seniors feel that they can't ...... The younger generation has no intention of going back alive, and the generator may never come out......"
