160 - a little better
What is usually the best option for doing something in an unfamiliar place?
Find a local, your local snake friend.
"Excuse me."
Rama said softly, "Excuse me, do you know the location of the Northland Bank?" ”
Depart Mondstadt and head to Liyue.
Before arriving in Liyue, Rama had already made a plan.
But all plans need a very simple thing as a support - strength.
Sadly, in Liyue, Rama has no weight.
The name of the Great Sage can be used, but this is the power of the official face of Sumeru, and Rama usually acts only under his own name, which means to make a profit on his behalf.
"Ah, Northland Bank," Millelith replied, "you go down this road, and then ······"
The soldier's expression was serious, and he gave directions to Rama.
Both Mondstadt and Liyue's official power are relatively mild to ordinary people, and Fontaine is much the same.
In Sumeru, the Gilded Brigade under Rama's control also began to restrain their rebelliousness and began to follow the official rules.
After all, today's Sumeru officials are ostensibly dominated by desert people, and desert people certainly support the rules formulated by their own people.
Only Inazuma, because of the choice of the upper class, began to aim the butcher's knife at ordinary people.
It's not a deliberate killing, but it's not thinking about the interests of ordinary people, and fighting wholeheartedly for the interests of the three councils.
After Rama thanked him, he followed the direction indicated by the other party.
The soldier gave him a thoughtful look, then reported the information.
He was respectful of ordinary people, but he also complied with his duties.
Not long ago, Liyue held its annual Immortal Invitation Ceremony.
This was supposed to be a grand banquet for the Seven Stars to invite the God of Rock to show the people of Liyue the direction of the new year, but it was also on the ceremony that the God of the Rock was assassinated.
Although many people don't understand it at all, Morax's corpse... [Immortal Ancestor Law Transformation] fell on the Yujing Terrace, which is a fact that many people have seen.
Seven Stars can't control all the information.
There were dignitaries and ordinary people, as well as many foreigners, who had gone in anticipation of Morax's arrival, and unless the entire Liyue Harbor was sealed off and everyone was forbidden to enter or leave Liyue, the news would be exposed sooner or later.
The timing of Rama's arrival was somewhat bad.
Because of the [Emperor's Assassination], Millelith's heart was also very tense.
There is a game at the top, but their game will not tell these soldiers at the bottom, the soldiers don't know anything, they can only do what they ask.
Fortunately, by the time Rama came, things had already become an established fact, and the Millelith Army performed their duties on a daily basis, but they didn't think too much that Rama would be the murderer of Morax.
There is no conflict between fulfilling responsibility and not doubting.
After arriving at the Northland Bank, he was not seen in Dadalia.
"Lord Rama!"
Andre said respectfully, "Childe-sama has already arranged a residence, and I would like to invite you to come and see you." ”
He is the manager of the Northland Bank in Liyue, and although Tartaglia is the nominal supreme commander in Operation Liyue, he has to put Tartaglia in charge of the Northland's business······ Joked, the rich man didn't kick Tartaglia out, he was already high enough.
The only business that Tartaglia can manage is probably debt collection.
After all, this is a task that can be completed by only needing to know the information and then taking the initiative to visit the other party's family.
Before coming to Liyue, of course, Rama had written a letter to explain it.
He describes how Diluc became suspicious and wanted to come to Liyue to test him out because of Tartaglia's actions.
At the same time, he also explained the expected cooperation he wanted.
Tartaglia was of course very welcome.
Among other things, Rama was clearly not going to stop the Fatui's plans.
This man has his own pursuits, and his pursuits are exactly what the Fatui are able to provide.
In Liyue, if the Seven Stars dared to trade with ordinary people, without Morax's intervention, immortals like Ganyu would be able to smoothly transition power directly into the next generation of the Seven Stars.
She claims to be the secretary of Seven Stars, but none of Seven Stars will actually treat her as a secretary.
The Fatui experiments were built with human lives and money, and even if Liyue had the same conditions, they would not dare to do the same thing.
The forces within the Seven Kingdoms were scattered, but only the Fatui could satisfy Rama's interests.
With this kind of confidence, Tartaglia naturally didn't worry about what Rama would do unexpectedly.
He explained to the Fatui of the Northland Bank, and if Rama came to him while he was away, he would treat Rama as an executive.
If you can get Rama to cooperate with integrity for a little money, then this little round is not a problem.
Rama gladly accepted the Fatui's offer and began to wait for Tartaglia's arrangement.
You need a springboard to do things, and in Rama's plan, the most suitable springboard is, of course, Xingqiu.
"Before Lord Rama arrived, Lord [Childe] had already made arrangements." Andre lowered his head and spoke respectfully, "Although the cooperation between Northland Bank and [Feiyun Chamber of Commerce] is not deep, we can open a bargaining chip that the other party cannot refuse. ”
"We can bring him here whenever you want."
There is no need to resort to too many despicable means.
During this period, the Northland Bank was also being inspected, and some unscrupulous methods would definitely be caught by the Millelith Army and the Seven Stars, and then used as a handle to clamp down on the Fatui.
However, the [Feiyun Chamber of Commerce] is an organization of businessmen, and to deal with this kind of organization, the Northland Bank has sufficient official means.
The simplest thing is that everyone just throws money and fights to see who can bear the loss.
Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and Northland Bank have cooperation.
Everyone knows that there are Fatui behind the Northland Bank, but who will have trouble with money?
The Fatui have a bad reputation, but they haven't caused any damage to Liyue, so why not agree if they have money to make?
These collaborations are not worth the risk of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, but as long as Northland Bank continues to increase its weight, they will definitely make selective concessions.
If you just let Xingqiu come forward and meet someone······ If this is the only way to reduce the losses of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, it's not a big deal, isn't it?
"Ah, then I'm sorry for you." Rama smiled and thanked him, "Sure enough, the Fatui are the most suitable partners. ”
"If these things can make you feel good about the foolish beings, then our efforts have paid off enough." Andrei said, "Please wait. ”
Using the money of the Fatui to do things for others, in principle, Andrei did not approve of it.
But Rama is indeed a very good partner of the Fatui, coupled with the status of a great sage.
It's better to spend money on him than to spend money on that guest in the Afterlife Hall, right?
