Chapter 587: The Wind Rises in the North
The icy wind blew, making Qin Lin wake up a little from the huge shock. The quiet and peaceful moon in the Demon Domain at this moment could not calm down the violent vibration in his heart.
According to Yi Yifu's introduction, the situation in the north has changed dramatically.
The most significant change is the change in the overall ranking of forces.
As a ceiling-level combat power, the Lin clan is naturally indisputable. Even if the Lin clan's strength looks at the entire northern territory, it is difficult to have a fighting enemy. Due to the containment of the Northern Wasteland, the Lin Clan was unable to draw too much strength to dominate the situation in the North, and most of the dominance fell on the so-called 'Sword Immortal Alliance'.
The second force is still the Divine Thunder Palace, the palace has consumed a huge amount of combat power over the years, and the war in the eastern region has made the palace tired to deal with, but this matter is the responsibility of the heavenly court, and more and more people from outside the territory have entered the north through the Xuanjie Gate, some of them are extremists, and there has been a lot of turmoil in the north. Even their appearance in groups seems to have the momentum of setting off a trend of bandits in the north, and the royal government has the responsibility and obligation to deal with this matter.
Other forces change rapidly.
The most noticeable thing is, of course, the change of the third and fourth forces. In the past, the third force in the northern realm was the cultivators' association, they occupied the most superior resources in the northern realm, backed by the big tree of the royal mansion, and it only took a hundred years to sit in the northern realm, and they even made their spar business prosperous, with the royal mansion to rely on, these spar businesses have credibility. Even the rest of the Divine Realm began to borrow this model.
It's just that the profits of this model are huge, and no one dared to move before, but now the situation is changing, and there are many people who want to move, and there are many people who can move. The most simple and straightforward is Meng Youlan, the '100 billion spirit stones' plan she proposed set off a huge storm in the north, so that there was a gap in the Sword Immortal Alliance, which was originally a nostril out of the air, with the help of this gap, Meng Youlan successfully entered the northern part of the territory, smashed it with money, and piled it up with force, and finally the close cooperation between the Cultivator Association and the Divine Thunder King's Mansion opened a gap and successfully entered the spar industry.
To do this business, you need a big signboard, you need credibility, you need to have enough capital to make those cultivator families trust, these things are all small problems for Meng Youlan, she only took half a year to open the Meng family's spar stalls all over the northern realm, and the wealth of the chaebol family once again let the world see their power.
Ren Yu is not far behind, as the spokesperson of 'being rich is so capricious', she thoroughly interpreted the meaning of this sentence. There is no money to throw at money, no one to shake people, there is no land to rob, and if you can't grab it, you can't throw money at it to rob it.
For more than a year, the Ren family has invested tens of billions of spirit stones in the north, and has snatched half of the auction industry from the mouth of the palace. In addition to the palace area, the entire northern territory can be said to be full of flowers, planted with the banner of the Ren family.
The arrival of the two of them shook many forces in the Sword Immortal Alliance.
In the final analysis, the Sword Immortal Alliance is actually a community of interests, and in the face of the huge interest cake, how can anyone not waver? As a result, the power of the Sword Immortal Alliance has been attacked by unprecedented disintegration.
Strangely, Lin ignored this.
And people naturally have a huge controversy over the ranking of the third and fourth, as a famous chaebol family in the Divine Domain, just the tip of the iceberg is revealed, which makes the cultivators' association head as big as a fight, what's wrong with people ranking third?
Of course, some people have made bolder guesses, if it weren't for the fact that people were concerned about the status of Heavenly Court, would they be interested in the second position?
The result of this is obvious, the Cultivators' Association has risen up to fight, as the old powerhouse force in the north, they have power. In the first stage of the struggle, the Cultivators' Association gained the upper hand and defeated the Meng family. However, with the successive arrival of the Meng family's forces, this situation has been alleviated to a great extent.
The final outcome was naturally that the royal palace came forward and reconciled the two families in the name of Heavenly Court.
Reconciliation is reconciliation, and it is naturally impossible to recover what has been paid, and the Meng family has since sat firmly in half of the spar industry. The contest in force has ended since then, but the comparison of comprehensive strength has only begun, and Meng Youlan has used the existing resources in her hands to greatly publicize the emerging spar association, and attract people to settle in at a lower rate.
Not only that, Meng Youlan is even more bold and innovative, and has opened up a business: savings!
All the families who go to the spar association to handle the spar storage business can get a return rate every year, which is equivalent to using spar to produce spar, what kind of cost-effective business is this?
This business simply made the cultivators' association knock out their teeth and swallow it in, which ended their monopoly on the spar industry for many years.
Originally, they didn't intend to give in, and they approached the palace many times to ask for a fair and just verdict, and even hoped to drive the Meng family out of the northern realm through the channels of the cultivators' association.
However, this request was naturally unanimously opposed, and no matter what the Lin Clan's attitude was, most of the members of the Sword Immortal Alliance were against it.
How good is it that the surplus spars are stored in the spar association, and they can get a considerable profit every year? Compared to the previous behavior of the cultivator association, the arrival of the Meng family's business was unanimously recognized.
As for the wording of the Cultivators Association, what interrupted the competition mechanism of the industry and broke the rules of competition in the northern realm, it was all regarded as a deaf ear. Not to mention whether you have competitors or not, what has the Cultivators Association relied on over the years? Isn't it a monopoly?
Now that the Meng family has made a move, everyone has changed their previous worried attitude and happily accepted the result.
When the Cultivators Association was desperate, it could only give in, make a compromise year-on-year, and also started this business. If you don't do it, you can't do it, the output of this business will make the original situation of the Cultivator Association fall to one side in an instant, if it is not contained, I am afraid that if no one else fights it, the Cultivator Association will fall on its own.
In the final analysis, the Cultivators' Association is doing a business without capital, they do not have an industry rooted in the northern realm, and they do not dare to touch the resource industry with huge profits, so they can only rely on the little reputation of the past and the support of the royal government to do a little monopoly industry.
They can't stand the toss!
Compared with Meng Youlan's domineering, Ren Yu is much gentler, and he simply holds some auctions, which does not attract the attention of the palace. The Ren family is powerful and has opened up the joints, and it is difficult for the palace to come forward to stop it.
After all, the auction is different from the spar industry, and the first thing that the auction values is the quality of the auction items. It is impossible to find an opportunity to start from the commission part, that is the practice of hurting the enemy by 800 and losing 1,000 by himself, Ren Yu is capricious, but he is a businessman in the end, can he do a business that loses money?
But with the end of a few auctions, the eyes of everyone in the north turned green.
This is a brand new version that I have never seen before, the Ren family's auction house, that can buy anything, and even Ren Yu opened up the business and directly opened the appointment auction mode.
What do you want to buy? Okay, if you want, we'll find it for you.
The Ren family is in the Divine Domain and has unparalleled influence, can it be compared to the palace in a corner of peace?
The influence of the royal palace in the northern realm is very important, and Ren Yu directly avoids the important and starts from outside the northern realm, where their strength is insufficient. Cultivators are also human beings, and they also have a large number of needs. In the past, it was expensive, and it was expensive to transport supplies from outside the northern borders.
However, Renjia's channels are there, and this transportation cost has been minimized.
A lot of things are being sold at prices that were incomprehensible in the past, which is simply digging out the heart of the palace, and the blood of distress flows. The impact of this price was extremely far-reaching, and for a while, there was a picture of thousands of empty alleys, and all people wanted to squeeze into the Ren family's auction house.
Some people even entered it with the idea of taking a look at it without buying it.
In this regard, Ren Yu naturally will not stop it, and if he does not buy auction items, it does not mean that he cannot do business.
The most important thing in doing business is the flow of people, and with the flow of people you can do a lot of things, and she is very experienced in this area, and she made two amazing moves at once.
The first is the expansion of Ren's auction house, a long passage leading directly to the internal auction site, and this passage is famous. There are all kinds of goods in it, so that anyone who comes to the auction can see these things.
Of course, these things are not displayed by the Ren family themselves, these things are all put on the table by those families who are in need and begging the Ren family to put them up.
And these locations, naturally, charge a lot of money.
But even so, there is still an endless stream of people who want to come in, and where there are people flowing, there are business opportunities, this is an iron law.
Secondly, Ren Yu once again made bold innovations, based on the auction behavior of the Ren family, and bought a large area around it with a large amount of money to develop various industries.
Renjia's auction has always been limited by the pattern, unable to let many people enter at one time, the auction adopts a general auction system, once every three days.
So where did these people go in these three days?
Naturally, there are the following derivative industries. If you want to rest alone and don't like the hustle and bustle, then good, I will build you a high-end rest area, there is a relatively elegant Qin Se and Ming, there are everyone to shoot, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting can find like-minded people, this is called cultivating sentiment.
Some people like the hustle and bustle, and naturally some people like the city, and there are also people here. Industries such as gambling, entertainment, and competition for survival, as well as some things involving men and women, exist in some hidden corners where only those who are adept at this can find their way in.
The development of these two measures completely tore apart the layout of the palace, and caused huge differences among the families who originally wanted to maintain a relationship with the palace.
What is there in the palace? Only power is in hand, holding the lifeblood of everyone. But what about the Ren family? That's endless business opportunities, it's infinite possibilities. And the palace is reluctant to deal with the Ren family, which shows that everyone speaks for themselves.
The two companies have made a very brilliant move, not only showing strong financial resources, but also crushing the opponents who originally relied on monopoly to play 'fair competition' in the extension of business.
Compared with these two major events, the Li family's brazen action and occupation of most of the southern gate of Jinyun City, and the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce's separation from the supervision of the Sword Immortal Alliance and its direct participation in the development of the Heavenly Road are insignificant.
The development of the Heavenly Road is the road supported by the Lin family. However, for the sake of fairness, only the three Koreas Chamber of Commerce were allowed to carry out the whole process of this matter, in order to avoid huge disagreements due to unevenly distributed interests.
And the income from the operation of the Heavenly Road, the bulk is naturally the Sword Immortal Alliance.
But the approach of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce is a little puzzling. Is this going to make trouble?
Just when many people were waiting to see the fate of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, everything was as quiet as a cemetery, and the imaginary thunderous palace died down, tired of dealing with Ren Yu's offensive. And Lin remained silent about this.
When the palace took a breath from Ren Yu's blow, he realized that it was too late.
The road to heaven has been opened!
The resources transported out here, through the radiation of Jinyun City, walked towards the major cities of the God Domain, and many resources were treasures outside, and the price was quite expensive.
It was only at this time that someone saw the foresight of the Li family.
After half a year of trade radiation, Jinyun City has become a hot area, the original scale of the city is not enough to see, so it can only be re-planned again, good guys, this time the southern zone is once again in the field of vision, but everyone is dumbfounded at a glance, the Li family is standing here.
At that time, the Li family did not participate in the competition for the power area of Jinyun City, so that when they wanted to come in again, they could only eat the rest of what others had eaten, so they chose to form an alliance with the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce.
But this time, the Li family's move made people understand that this family is not only quite interested in marriage, but also has its own hand in the competition for resources.
But herein lies the problem.
In addition to the original area of Jinyun City, the first choice for further expansion is naturally the south. This place is occupied by the Li family, and as the top five forces in the northern border, no one dares to say anything.
But what if it would work in the other direction?
Yes, and there is a lot to be done. Extending in the east and west directions, most people are dumbfounded at a glance, the eastern area is controlled by the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, and the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce has risen very strongly over the years, and others naturally dare not say more, but the west is a little unclear.
The western region, if you inquire a little, you know that it is in the hands of the Yi family. But what kind of family is the Yi family? Someone thought about it carefully and understood the details.
When Jinyun City was still inconspicuous, there was a family entrenched here, which was a well-deserved first family. However, with the change of time and the rise of the Three Dynasties Chamber of Commerce, the existence of the Yi family became more and more insignificant.
In the following tide of opening up, the Yi family retreated bravely, and did not choose to occupy the good area of Jinyun City, but lived in a corner. Although it later proved that the head of the family had a unique vision, which not only exempted him from going against the royal palace, but also received a lot of compensation, many people were amazed by this.
Moreover, with the development of Jinyun City, the area occupied by the Yi family was finally connected to the later Jinyun City again, which is equivalent to the Yi family located in the suburbs of Jinyun City instead of the mountainous area.
This made the head of the Yi family show his face a little again.
However, with the continuous development of the area, the importance of this area has finally become prominent.
One Golden Cloud City is obviously no longer enough for the demand for trade and exports, and it is necessary to connect the original three cities of the Golden Triangle to the east and west.
Make this a huge trading area, not limited to a certain area of the city.
Not only that, but the medium and long-term goal of the Ren family is to completely relocate the original residential area in the city and make the entire Golden Triangle area a premier trade zone.
As a result, many people have different minds.
According to the rules of the original northern border, the Ren family, as outsiders, would need to pay twice the price to occupy this area. So if the Yijia area is in its own hands, what kind of considerable profits will it have?
This figure just adds up a little bit to make many people inexplicable, it is the total income of some big families for several years, and the business of hundreds of millions of spirit stones.
Many people come and go endlessly, hoping to completely take this area for themselves through some existing channels before the Ren family's financial resources are in place.
"I already understand!" Qin Lin was very satisfied after listening to this story. The Ren family and the Meng family's shots really did not disappoint him, as a veteran chaebol family with a reputation in the divine domain, they have the capital to be rich.
However, under the cover of wealth and coarseness, it is a detailed extension of the coarse and fine.
"It's like now, someone has made a move against the Yi family!" Qin Lin continued, "Your identity is very embarrassing, and the things of the year must have been dug up." ”
"You were expelled from the court by your family, and now you are an elder of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, there will be even more pressure on you to come forward!"
"Not bad!" Yi Yifu's voice was intermittent, "It's good that I don't show up now, the family is just facing some small fights." ”
"But if I come forward, it means that the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce has a strong interest in this. ”
"Boss, you also know that you can't look too ugly when you eat. ”
The eastern region is already in the hands of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, this is a matter of vision, and no one will say anything. But if you are meddling in the territorial competition in the west, it is a bit of a feeling of eating alone.
In this case, you say that the Yi family is in love?
"In my opinion, if you look for me, I'm afraid there is something else hidden!" Qin Lin always felt that something was wrong.
If it's really as petty as Yi Yifu said, you don't necessarily need to come to him. There is a jade and a bright sun, don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, besides, Yi Yifu is the son-in-law of the Li family, and he has been quite popular in the Li family over the years.
Small fights may not be true, but yellow finches are real.
"If you can come forward, the Lin family or those two ·····" Yi Yifu was very happy that Qin Lin could see through the essence of the matter at a glance. If it's really a petty fight, he doesn't even need Wanjin Merchants or the Li family to come forward, he can solve it himself.
Over the years in Jinyun City, he has saved a lot of fame and made a lot of friends.
The problem is that there are some shadows behind these petty fights.
"The Lin clan doesn't think too much!" Qin Lin immediately interrupted Yi Yifu's words, "The Lin clan is in the northern border, and justice has always been the benchmark, and it's not good for me to come forward and let them intervene." ”
"And you have to know that the Lin clan only keeps an eye on Jinyun City because of me. ”
"The Lin family, no matter how chaotic the northern realm is, their eyes are always on the Divine Domain, in the Divine King City. ”
"Finally, if you encounter something in the future, you can go to Ren Yu to discuss, that girl's temper is a little hot, but there are really a lot of ghost ideas. ”
As for not mentioning Du Kang, Qin Lin already knew it in his heart.
As the main developer of Tianlu, the focus of the Three Dynasties Chamber of Commerce now must be to maintain security issues and the transportation of follow-up resources, contact with major forces, etc., so as to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings and making people take advantage of loopholes. The current Du Kang is bound to be riddled with trivial matters, and there is a psychological barrier like Meng Youlan, it is estimated that Lao Du has a stalk in his heart that cannot be solved.
"I will inform you, Ren Yu will make the best arrangements!" Qin Lin also wanted to test his current energy to see if the girl's attitude towards him had changed, "You can just be responsible for cooperating at that time." ”
After ending the exchange with Yi Yifu, Qin Lin raised his head and looked at the cold moonlight.
The wind, I'm afraid it's going to blow from the Yi family.
This would be the starting point for a great war, leaving the North in a state of utter chaos.
"I'm afraid this is what I jumped up, but it's a situation that most people want to see·····" He smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid not only the teacher wants to see it, but the master also has this intention, and Lin Congyun is even more indifferent..."
"All this····· Is it against the Long family?"
He hadn't forgotten that there was also a dragon family dormant in Jinyun City, which was the real predator, the premier family in the Divine Domain. The Ren family's drastic work here will definitely touch the interests of the Long family, and I am afraid that it will be a big war at that time.
