The headquarters of the Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce is actually a manor-like house, the place is very large, and the annual summary meeting is held here.

The main thing is that there are competitions between various markets, auctions, and even shops and individuals, such as cultivation and alchemy.

In fact, Xiuwei mainly competes in strength, and if you show your own strength, you can challenge the shopkeeper of the store.

The shopkeeper of each store, as long as he is confident enough, can also challenge the owner of the shop, or even the owner of the auction house.

Of course, not everyone is qualified to challenge, you have to make contributions to the Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce, and only when the merit reaches a certain level can you be qualified to challenge others.

After all, the Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce is a transaction-oriented position, with profit as the ultimate goal.

If you only have strong strength and are not good at business to seek benefits for the Chamber of Commerce, then what is the use of you as a shopkeeper or even a shopkeeper.

Just because the strength is strong, other aspects are a mess, the manager can't manage it, and the business with various forces can't do business, of course, such a person is not qualified to challenge.

If the strength is really strong, the person who can become the escort team is to escort the person who escorts the goods, and he exists like a thug.

Of course, the pay is not low, but there are some dangers, there is a risk of injury and loss of life.

Compared to being a shopkeeper or a workshop owner, staying in one place safely has abundant cultivation resources, which is incomparable.

In addition to comparing strength, it is also comparing alchemy, which is the main source of income for the Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce.

The Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce, distributed in Beiliang County, has a total of seventeen large and small markets, of which the alchemy shops in fifteen markets account for a considerable part of the income.

In these fifteen markets, in addition to some special pill shops, alchemists are in charge, in fact, there are also alchemists in each market.

Of course, it is rare for the owner and alchemist to be the same person like Xiaodanfang and Dagongfang.

After all, not everyone is strong and has high alchemy, so it is not unreasonable for Qi Lincha and Bo Ziyi to rank among the top three alchemists in the entire Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce.

In addition to the seventeen square markets, the Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce also has four auction halls, among which the auction hall in Floating Water City is the largest one.

The strength of these four auction houses is the strongest existence, and the items auctioned off are relatively valuable.

There are not only alchemists, but also array mages, refiners, puppeteers, and special discriminators.

These people who are sitting in the auction hall don't need to make pills for the Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce, they just need to identify various cultivation resources and estimate their value.

An alchemist in a fang market is naturally inferior to an alchemist sitting in the auction hall, mainly in terms of income and status.

But in terms of rights, the alchemist of a fang city still has great power, and he is on an equal footing with the owner of the fang.

Like Qi Lincha and Bo Ziyi, the owner and the alchemist are both two, so the power is even greater, and they are almost the emperor of the soil.

However, it is precisely because the two markets are under the nose of the Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce that no one would be at ease with the two of them.

Yi Chen's goal this time is to become the alchemist of the Great Workshop.

The Great Workshop is the largest of the seventeen square cities, and it has the greatest power and influence.

Besides, there is also a legitimate excuse to take the position of alchemist from Bo Ziyi, because Bo Ziyi's rights are too much.

Although it is in the eyes of the general association, it is still not allowed to be left alone.

As long as he gets the position of alchemist of the big workshop, Yi Chen will be able to cooperate with Mo Li and control the entire Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce.

However, a plan is a plan, in fact, Yi Chen is not qualified to challenge, not to mention that he does not have enough credit.

There is enough merit, and he will have to go through a period of testing, and he will only be qualified to challenge after becoming an official alchemist of the Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce, because he is now just a foreign minister, and in the final analysis, he is an outsider after all.

However, for Mo Li, the guild master, it is not difficult to get a challenge qualification for Yi Chen.

Because in the early years, Ji Changbo and Liu Qin actually controlled the Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce, and completely set up Moli. In order to place his cronies in various important positions of the Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce, he did not change the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, but added an article, that is, people above the elder level of the Chamber of Commerce have a challenge qualification every year, which can be given to anyone in the Chamber of Commerce.

It is this rule that allows Yi Chen to successfully solve the problem of not being qualified to challenge.

Every time the summary meeting of the Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce is opened, the entire chamber of commerce's markets, shops, and auction halls will be closed for a period of time.

The auction hall is close to the Fang Market in Floating Water City, and the market will only be closed for three days after the opening of the summary meeting.

For markets that are farther away, the number of days the market will be closed will be determined according to the actual situation.

Although it seems that there is a lot of loss, in fact, the summary conference is one of the reasons why the Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce can survive the competition of many forces, and even rank among the seven major forces in Floating Water City.

In fact, not many people were able to attend the summary meeting, only about 300 people.

Therefore, it is in a garden-like place, rockery lotus pond, breeze and flowers.

The case was laid out in an orderly manner, with the spirit fruit and the spirit tea boiled, in addition to the summary of the pros and cons, it was basically a relaxed conversation and laughter.

Of course, the middle position was vacant, about ten zhang in size, and it was all reinforced by the formation.

Before the challenge, of course, it is necessary to decide the ranking between the various markets and auctions, which is related to the inclination of resources in the coming year.

The alchemists of each workshop and the owner of the auction hall must first conduct a competition in cultivation.

The cultivation of the owner of the workshop and the alchemy ranking of the alchemist only play a partial role, accounting for the decisive ability of one percent, and the other ninety percent mainly depends on the profitability of each fang market and how much benefit it can earn for the Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce, which is an important factor in the ranking of the fang market.

Only when the profitability of the two markets is not much different, it is possible to surpass the ranking of the previous market by virtue of the competition between the owner and the alchemist.

Seventeen workshop owners, and four field owners, conducted a cultivation competition, and the alchemist of course fought side by side with the owner and compared alchemy with the opposite side.

And the two markets without alchemists are both at the bottom of the rankings, and once they really have the ability to surpass the profitability of the previous markets, they will always automatically dispatch alchemists.

Seventeen Fang cities and four ranking fields used to be ranked, but now they have to compete, which is also a way to challenge.

Even if the profits between the markets are huge, and the victory or defeat between the home owners of the market does not matter, there are still people who are willing to challenge others.

The owner and the owner, a total of 21 rankings, really not much change.

Everyone's strength is like that, you grow and others are also growing, and it's really not easy to surpass the past.

However, the owner of the Qujin Auction House in Nanfengtian, Beiliang County, is bent on challenging the previous ranking.

Qujin Auction House, not in Floating Water City, is a relatively remote place, and the income is much worse than the other three auction houses.

What makes the owner of the Qujin Pai store unbearable is that the four major auction houses are above the seventeen markets, and even the first-ranked market is not as good as the weakest auction house.

But in the past few years, Qu Jin has only ranked sixth, so that there are fewer resources from the association, and the vicious circle will benefit even less.

And Tang Jingzhen, the owner of the Qujin Auction House, has heard a rumor in the past year or two that because the income of the Qujin Auction House is too low, there will always be plans to change the auction hall to the Fang Market, and this news makes Tang Jingzhen a little anxious.

The auction hall again, that is also the auction house, once it is changed to Fang City, in the remote place of Nanfengtian, the income will be less, and he Tang Jingzhen will not be able to mix in the Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce.

Qujin Auction House ranks sixth, the top three, naturally the other three auction houses, the fourth place is unique, occupies a lot of resources, and is the base camp of Ji Changbo's big workshop.

The fifth-ranked Hundred Medicine Workshop is also not in Floating Water City, but it is in Qingyuntian, which is rich in elixir, and it is the most important source of elixir for the Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce, so the income is also very strong, surpassing the Qujin Auction House.

And Qi Lin's poor personal ability is not weak, but Xiao Danfang's strength is not too strong, so he can only rank seventh after Qujin Auction.

This time, in order to rank, the Qujin Auction House is gearing up and preparing a lot.

Even some means were used to temporarily increase the year's gains at the cost of depleting future benefits.

In front of this kind of means, it is only the most effective to do it in the auction house, that is, to take out the various precious cultivation resources stored, which was originally intended to be kept at a good time and auctioned off for the greatest profit, but now for short-term benefits, it is naturally taken out and auctioned off in advance.

The Qujin Auction House sacrificed a lot of interests, but the results were also remarkable, and this year's income directly surpassed the fifth Baiyao Fang and the fourth large workshop.

However, it is only barely surpassed, the gap between the three is not too big, and in the end, the competition between the main owner of the workshop and the alchemist has really become the decisive factor.
