15. During the Banquet (2)

"Brother Huang, I haven't seen you for many days, it's always good?"

The man who came over was named Qiu Yong, who was Qiu Liang's cousin, but his talent was not good and he failed to step into the immortal path, so he took charge of the general affairs in the family and was responsible for external management.

When Huang Chang came to the capital of Ho a few times ago, he was also entrusted by Qiu Liang to help him bring a few letters to his family, as well as some things that he brought to his family - the common pills on Kunlun Mountain, etc., which are worth a lot in the mortal world. As one of the proprietors of the Splendid Pavilion, Qiu's often needs some "town" treasures when presiding over auctions. With the Qiu Liang line, the several auctions that the Qiu family was responsible for were very successful.

And the one who was responsible for the contact with Huang Chang was this Qiu Yong, as the son of the family who was in charge of foreign affairs, he was stronger than his brother in terms of human sophistication, and he was even more polite and thoughtful to Huang Chang, and every time they met, they were extremely enthusiastic, even if Huang Chang knew that this was just a businessman's habit, it was at least a skill to make people feel comfortable.

After a few words of greeting with Qiu Yong, Huang Chang introduced his cousin Chen Shi to him - he brought Chen Shi to the capital of Ho, hoping to use the power of the Qiu family to guide the little fat man to really step into this industry. Chen Shi had business experience in Baonan before, but he was only dealing with ordinary mortals, and he only sold some daily groceries, which was a little different from the immortal spirit trade in Huang Chang's plan.

Qiu Yong always said to him, "If there is any help, just mention it, you're welcome", Huang Chang estimated that the other party really hoped to step up contact with him through some real deals, not just say some good things on his lips. As businessmen, of course, they know very well: lip service is the most annoying, and only real benefits are long-term.

But with Huang Chang's ability, it is really not easy for the Qiu family to help him. Now finding something to do for them can be regarded as mutually beneficial.

Sure enough, when Huang Chang explained his intentions to Qiu Yong, the latter was not only aware of being troubled, but looked happy:

"Okay, Brother Chen, just leave it to me, let him work in our shop for a while, and basically know what we do in this business." ”

"That's the best, then thank you Brother Qiu. ”

Huang Chang is overjoyed, of course, it is the best to have the opportunity to practice, but most businesses will definitely not be willing to let outsiders intervene in their own operations, and Qiu Yong's willingness to arrange this is indeed sincere.

So the few people quickly discussed the next plan: Chen Shi will enter the Qiu family's shop, and follow their shopkeeper to "intern" for a period of time, and he will almost be able to master the business model of this industry.

And Qiu Jiaken is working so hard, of course, not just to sell well. After negotiating Chen Shi's matter, Qiu Yong came over again and said in a low voice:

"Brother Huang, I heard that you are now highly respected by His Royal Highness Shengyang, and I don't know about the prince's participation in the imperial court's external development, Brother Huang may be able to speak?"

Huang Chang smiled secretly in his heart - sure enough, he guessed that the rich families in the capital would not be indifferent to this.

Of course, his face was still silent, and he only smiled:

"Why, the dignified Qiu clan, one of the proprietors of the Splendid Pavilion, is also interested in going to the wilderness to overcome obstacles?"

Qiu Yong smiled bitterly:

"Brother Huang is his own person, and there is nothing to say - our family is just a small proprietor in the Splendid Pavilion. The water here in the pickaxe capital is too deep, and there are many real dragons, no matter how much the Qiu family flutters, they can't make a big situation. It's better to go outside and fight hard, maybe you can break into a new world. ”

Hearing this, Huang Chang couldn't help but applaud and smile:

"As the saying goes, people have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries. But Brother Qiu, I still have a question - the two princes of Yuyuanjun and Haolingjun have been looking for collaborators for a long time, with the status of your Qiu family in the pickaxe capital, and the strong help of Senior Brother Qiu...... If this is the case, I believe they have already come to the door, why did they delay until now to investigate?"

Qiu Yong hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded:

"Don't hide it from Brother Huang, in fact, our family has had several contacts with the two Highnesses before. It's just that my brother still has a few years to go down the mountain, and I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up with the pioneering battle. And the status of the two highnesses promised our family in the new territory is similar to that in the current pickaxe capital...... And my family wants to participate in the development of the wilderness, just hoping to go further, so it has not been able to negotiate. ”

Huang Chang nodded, and he had a rough idea in his heart - in the final analysis, the Qiu family's requirements were relatively high. But compared to their current strength, it is a bit out of match.

Of course, if you wait for Qiu Liang to come down the mountain, the situation will definitely be different. However, Qiu Liang had only just begun his career as a blue-clothed disciple now, and he still had at least four years to go before he could leave Kunlun Mountain. The Qiu family wanted to use their future advantages to fight for their own interests in advance, but the two princes did not agree.

However, Huang Chang didn't mind this, and it was a long-term process to open up the wilderness. Even if the initial battle can't catch up, the follow-up suppression and protection, the more the better. Qiu Liang and himself are from the same family, they know each other's roots, and they have a friendship before, if such a good player can join, of course, the more the better.

It is estimated that the Qiu family also felt that it was easier to join the team of fellow brothers and sisters, and it was easier to talk about the conditions, so they specifically found themselves and had a good opportunity, which could not be missed.

Thinking of this, he was not hypocritical, and nodded at Qiu Yong:

"Okay, I'll go and propose to the prince, let's take some time to meet, if you have any ideas and requirements, take them out and put them on the table to talk, whether it is successful or not, friendship is always there. ”

Qiu Yong was overjoyed, and hurriedly said:

"That's the best, as far as I know, there are still a few companies in the city of Pickaxe who want to participate, but they don't have a good way. If Brother Huang doesn't mind, bring them with you then?"

Huang Chang nodded in agreement, so the two sides agreed on a time and prepared to go to Shengyang Jun's Mansion to discuss in detail when the time came.

After that, Huang Chang contacted a few more, including Li Zhai's side, and several merchants came to try it. Huang and Li did not refuse to come, and they both agreed on a time with them and prepared to talk in detail at that time.

After a banquet, even though the two of them were immortal cultivators, they were also quite tired. Looking for a chance that no one was around, Li Zhai rubbed his brows and quietly complained:

"Huang Daoyou, we are dignified monks, but we are following such a trip to the merchants, and most of the people we find are just mortals, so is there a necessity?"

Huang Chang smiled lightly:

"Of course, expanding the territory has never been something that can be decided by a few elite warriors and a few cultivators, and thousands of ordinary people are the backbone. Merchants are the ones who can help us the most in this regard – food, livestock, daily utensils, and, most importantly, recruitment, all of which we have to rely on. ”
