Chapter 372: Negotiation
Hui Yao Shang Dao didn't expect Xiao Qiang to get straight to the point, and after sighing, he said.
"I'm sure you've heard some of the information that we're in the most difficult time of all, and if we don't get into the Elven City to trade, maybe our promises will be gone."
Xiaoqiang smiled and asked rhetorically.
"I believe that the merchant should have already made a move."
The Merchant Master was stunned for a moment, then smiled calmly.
"I can't hide anything from you, I do have some moves, but it's hard to make up for the loss."
"So, today's chance encounter is also because of this incident?"
The Merchant Lord nodded.
"It's true that I came here for this matter, Can'er wasn't by my side, I heard that you came back, so I had to come with you, but I couldn't help but delay some time."
The shame on Jin Can'er's face was even stronger, although her father's words were untrue, she could also hear that it was all for herself.
Xiao Qiang glanced at Jin Can'er in shyness, intentionally or unintentionally, but smiled at the merchant master.
"I have a close relationship with Miss Jin Can'er, and this disappearance has indeed caused trouble to others, and I want Miss Jin Can'er to say sorry here."
Xiao Qiang replied solemnly, which made the Huiyao merchant brow furrow slightly, but Jin Can'er, who was completely focused on Xiao Qiang, would not pay attention to these details, and hurriedly shook his head.
"You don't have to apologize, I didn't actually do what my father said."
Having said this, Jin Can'er felt that there seemed to be something wrong with her words, and she hurriedly added.
"I've been worried for a long time, and I'm ......."
In the latter words, Jin Can'er felt so ashamed that she didn't dare to continue, she stood in place with a red face and was at a loss, so embarrassing.
Seeing this, the Huiyao merchant suddenly laughed, and the loud laughter immediately attracted the attention of Xiaoqiang and the nine-tailed fox, but made the other party ignore Jin Can'er in a hurry.
"You young people are just timid, don't dare to express your feelings directly, I won't participate in your affairs, if you don't have anything important, Xiaoqiang, can you go with me to sit there?"
Xiao Qiang was also embarrassed by the words of the merchant master, and after glancing at Jin Can'er, who was ashamed, he seemed to understand, but on this occasion Xiao Qiang did not dare to show too much enthusiasm, and nodded.
"I just have some questions I want to ask you, it's inconvenient to have too many people here."
After getting the answer he wanted, the merchant led the two to his residence, during which Jin Can'er followed the three of them at the end, without saying a word, but the pair of affectionate eyes would look at Xiao Qiang's back from time to time, and the panic and tangled color on his face changed back and forth.
As a woman, the nine-tailed fox naturally looked at it in her eyes, although her face was still calm, but she was already a little angry with Xiaoqiang in her heart, she thought to herself that there was just a Rowling, after all, Rowling is the love of Xiaoqiang's heart, but now there is a Jin Can'er, how many women are there in her little master, doesn't Rowling know? Won't she stop it?
The nine-tailed fox naturally didn't know that in addition to Jin Can'er and Rowling, there was also Wanrou in the White Tiger City, and as for those girls who had thought about Xiaoqiang, there were countless of them, and at this moment she was just complaining in her heart, as for stopping it, as for disturbing Huang Xiaoqiang's marriage, it is estimated that she would not be able to do this kind of thing.
After a while, the four of them came to a huge mansion, the scale of which was comparable to the courtyard where Rowling now lives.
After a few people sat down, an elven girl wearing the costume of the Radiant Chamber of Commerce walked in with fragrant tea, and when he saw that the person in the room turned out to be Xiao Qiang, he couldn't help but smile a little more on his face.
It seems that there is a strong admiration in the sight, especially when serving tea to Xiao Qiang, the beautiful eyes of the elf maid stayed on Xiao Qiang's face for a long time, and the movements of the tea were like snails, if it weren't for the Huiyao merchant lord coughing to remind him, it is estimated that the elf maid would not be willing to leave the room.
"To make you laugh, this girl has not been in our chamber of commerce for a long time, and she has not been trained yet, so she will have to discipline more in the future."
If the merchant owner of Huiyao said these words meaningfully, Xiao Qiang could naturally hear some extraneous meanings from them, and laughed.
"It's not to blame her, after all, my identity is relatively special in the elf clan, and it is normal for the girl to be different, but the rules of the Radiance Chamber of Commerce are extremely strict, if the elves are trained by the standards of the human world, I am afraid that ......."
The merchant took a sip of tea, and asked rhetorically when the exquisite teacup was slowly placed on the tea table.
"How does Your Excellency Xiaoqiang think I should manage it?"
The smile on Xiao Qiang's face gradually converged, and he said the same lightly.
"Adapting to local conditions and different people, after all, elves are different from humans, there is not such a strict hierarchy here, everyone is equal in the elven city, and this refers not only to ordinary people, but also to Rowling and other elders."
"Oh! It's the first time I've heard the word equality, and I don't know where His Excellency Xiaoqiang heard it. ”
Xiao Qiang said, "This is not important, the important thing is that this equal attitude of everyone may be able to change the business strategy of the Huiyao Chamber of Commerce, and it may be possible to make the Huiyao Chamber of Commerce the largest chamber of commerce in the mainland in the future." ”
The Merchant Master of Radiance had a look of suspicion on his face, but he asked.
"Your Excellency's words make me a little puzzled, why everyone is equal can make the Huiyao Chamber of Commerce the number one chamber of commerce in the whole continent, isn't the purpose of the chamber of commerce to make money and grow?"
Xiaoqiang smiled faintly.
"Don't you think a loose, even unstable, foundation can't hold a tall building on it?"
The word "high-rise building" is very strange to hear, but he can also understand the meaning, in addition, Xiaoqiang's metaphor is also very appropriate, but such a metaphor falls into the ears of the Huiyao businessman.
"This is the first time I've heard of this, but if a chamber of commerce has no money, where can it gather people who work for him, even if it is a plate of loose sand, as long as there is a reward and punishment system, this plate of loose sand can be used by me, even in the armies of major empires."
Seeing that the merchant retorted, Xiao Qiang just smiled and didn't explain too much, after all, some things from the previous life looked weird in this world, who would give each other benefits in order to win over their employees, and who would scatter the money that should be put in their pockets like a saint.
In the world of the previous life, this kind of thing was also very rare, and it was even more impossible in this world, so too much explanation and argument will not make the other party's mind succumb, but will attract a stronger backlash.
