Chapter 564: Ambition within the Sky Cloud
Outside the window is a bustling market with the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce’s sign flying high.
"Hahaha, gentlemen, today's situation is truly our luck!"
Shen Wanda laughed loudly, his voice revealing his unconcealable joy and pride.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip, but his eyes never left the two think tanks in front of him.
"The contributions of President Shen and Mr. Yao should be remembered."
"However, we should not take it lightly. Although the Dantian Merchant Alliance was defeated in Daqian, its foundations in other dynasties and even in the Tianwu Continent have not been destroyed. There is still a day for it to make a comeback."
"We must continue to guard against it to prevent it from making a comeback."
Jia Xu, an old silver coin known for his cunning, also rarely showed a smile at this moment.
Their target has always been the Dantian Merchant Alliance’s base in Daqian and even Dayong.
As for the Dantian Merchant Alliance's other places on the Tianwu Continent and the other three dynasties, that is unrealistic.
Not to mention that the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce has only been rising for a short time and has little foundation.
As for other places, there is no large army of Cangzhou to threaten them, and even Luowang is out of reach.
At that time, Dantian Business Alliance will rely on the network of relationships they have established in other places.
Then the situation would be reversed.
This victory was not only because the Daqian Dynasty itself was in danger, but also because the Cangzhou Army was very powerful in the Daqian territory, and the Cangzhou Army was pressing in.
It is also related to the fact that the main development focus of Luowang and Tianyun Chamber of Commerce in recent years has been in the territory of the Daqian Dynasty.
This made Su Ye's Luowang, Shenwu Hall and even Tianyun Chamber of Commerce unite and beat up the Dantian Merchant Alliance in the Daqian Dynasty.
But in other places, there is no such advantage.
"Mr. Wenhe is absolutely right."
"However, after this battle, the power of the Dantian Merchant Alliance in the Daqian Dynasty has been severely damaged, and it will be difficult to recover in a short period of time."
"We should take advantage of this opportunity to further expand the power of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce and consolidate our position in Daqian and even Dayong."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wansan's smug look on his face faded a little and he nodded in agreement.
"Gentlemen, although we have achieved a temporary victory, business war is like a chess game. If you make a wrong move, you will lose the whole game."
"Although the Dantian Merchant Alliance suffered a setback in Daqian and was seriously injured, its foundation of hundreds of years is profound and should not be underestimated."
"We need to make long-term plans to ensure the longevity of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce."
Then his eyes moved back and forth between Yao Guangxiao and Jia Xu, his heart full of longing and planning for the future.
"President Shen is right. The Art of War says: 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.'"
"We will continue to use Luowang's intelligence network to investigate the dynamics of the Dantian Merchant Alliance, especially its branches in the outer regions, to prevent them from making a comeback and posing a threat to us."
“In addition, I think the current urgency is to consolidate the achievements and plan for the future.
"Within Daqian, we should continue to deepen cooperation with various cities and establish a closer supply chain to ensure the quality and stability of the supply of elixirs. In addition, we also need to gradually infiltrate the surrounding dynasties such as Dayong, and gradually expand our influence from point to surface."
Yao Guangxiao, wearing a grey monk robe, gently stroked the teacup in his hand, and spoke in a low voice. "What Brother Sidao said is exactly what I want. In addition, we should strengthen the internal construction of Tianyun Chamber of Commerce, improve the quality of elixirs, optimize services, and consolidate the customer base."
"At the same time, we can launch new varieties of elixirs in a timely manner to lead the market. This way, even if the Dantian Merchant Alliance wants to fight back, they won't be able to find a point of attack."
“In addition to business layout, internal management also needs to be more rigorous to prevent problems before they happen. After all, fortresses are often breached from the inside.”
Jia Xu smiled slightly and also made suggestions at the right time.
"You two gentlemen's plan is far-sighted, and I will take action immediately."
"I intend to strengthen cooperation with other forces within the Daqian and Dayong dynasties, expand sales channels, and ensure a stable supply of resources."
"We will also increase investment in research and development to improve the quality of elixirs, especially those that are scarce and high-value, so as to attract more high-end customers."
Shen Wansan smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and gestured to the two of them. As one of the most famous merchants in history, he naturally had a plan for what they said.
"Mr. Shen, it's good that you know what's going on."
Yao Guangxiao glanced at Shen Wansan and stopped talking.
Professional things are left to professional people to do.
In terms of business, neither of them naturally thought that they could do better than Shen Wansan.
Since Shen Wansan has already made a decision in his mind, it would be annoying if the two of them continued to interfere.
For a moment, the room fell silent. The three of them looked out the window quietly, sipping the tea carefully prepared by the alchemists of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce.
Outside the window, the hustle and bustle of the city seems to form a sharp contrast with the tranquility inside the pavilion.
At the same time, in Hengzhou, on a wide official road leading to Tianqian Pass, a large team was moving slowly forward in the dust.
The team stretched for miles, like a giant dragon winding across the earth.
In the team, an emblem embroidered with a fairy grass pattern, representing the Xiancao Liu family, a giant medicine manufacturer in Hengzhou, was flying high, fluttering in the wind, highlighting the identity of this team.
At the center of the team, the leader was a middle-aged man, who was the patriarch of the Xiancao Liu family - Liu Yunfeng.
Liu Yunfeng is about forty years old, with a resolute face and deep eyes, revealing a temperament that is intimidating without even getting angry.
However, beneath this majesty lies an indescribable helplessness and worry.
He was dressed in a luxurious brocade robe and wore a green jade pendant around his waist, which was a token passed down from generation to generation by the Xiancao Liu family, symbolizing the family's herbal alchemy skills.
Behind Liu Yunfeng, there were two young people, a man and a woman.
The man's name is Liu Chenyuan. He is the most outstanding alchemist of this generation in the Liu family. He is about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a handsome face and gentle eyes. His every move reveals a temperament that is not interested in competing with the world.
He was wearing a light blue robe with fluttering sleeves, like a celestial being descending to earth. In his hand, he was playing with an exquisite smoke-cloud pot, which was the little toy he used most often when refining the elixir.
The woman's name was Liu Lingjun. She was the most outstanding business woman of this generation in the Liu family. She was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with a beautiful face, skin as white as snow, and a pair of big eyes that sparkled with wisdom.
She was wearing a pink long skirt, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, like a blooming lotus. She had a noble and elegant temperament, and her every move revealed an indescribable charm.
As one of the most famous alchemy families and gold bags under the protection of the Daqian Dynasty court, she has not only topped the list of Daqian's top ten beauties several times, but was also once compared with the princesses of the Daqian Dynasty. She is a well-known figure in Hengzhou and even the entire Daqian Dynasty.
Together with his brother Liu Chenyuan, they supported the entire young generation of the Liu family, one outside and one inside.
