Chapter 164 Undercurrents in the Sea of Stars
The temperament of a mature woman is quite tempting.
Coupled with a little charm, a young monk would be fooled if he was not careful.
Tempting words should not be taken seriously. Feng Sanniang was just afraid that he would ask for too much. However, Xu Qingyang's appetite was not big. When he saw Liulian Temple appear, the first thing he thought of was Gu's maritime trade.
Liulian Temple's business spread all over the southwest sea area, and it occupied a large share on the three main islands here.
According to the known information, they have already transformed from the initial development history of shipping to a large household, opening businesses on many islands.
The scope of business is comprehensive and wide. As for the three main islands here and the layout of the secondary island branch temples they are about to roll out, there will be a large number of downstream transportation needs in the future. They disdain to operate these by themselves, and they don't have so many people. As for Gu's family, they haven't gone out yet, but the transportation routes within Kuixing Island are already very mature. If they can undertake some low-end and large-volume cargo transportation from the other party, the benefits will be considerable.
At some point, Feng Sanniang had already stuck to him, her eyes blurred.
Charm techniques are most likely to backfire, especially when encountering a straight man who is naturally immune to most of the effects of such secret techniques. She can't do anything with her tricks, so she looks a little bad, her face is red and hot, breathing in Xu's strong masculine scent, and her body is wet.
Xu Qingyang frowned slightly, hummed softly, and immediately saw the woman retreat in panic.
"Feng Daoyou, what do you think of Xu's conditions?"
Feng Sanniang was ashamed and angry, but secretly relieved. It was really too embarrassing just now. Fortunately, the other party did not have further evil thoughts, otherwise it would not be embarrassing just now.
A thought flashed through her mind, and she really took this person seriously.
Not long after, the two reached a preliminary agreement that part of the low-end cargo transportation between Kuixing Island and its affiliated islands could be handed over to the Gu family fleet.
It is only a part for the time being. The Gu family cannot afford more now. The exchange condition is that the business of Liulian Hall can be fully rolled out on Fengbao Island, and they will take the lead in investment and re-plan the layout of the market on the island. Simply put, they will build a new landmark on the island and then open a market with their landmark as the center.
Part of it will be operated by their branch halls, and part of it will be rented out to collect rent.
Not to mention that their business philosophy is quite advanced, this model, to a certain extent, is considered to infringe on the sovereignty of the island owner, because they also have the main management rights of the market.
This is equivalent to a country in an island.
The reason why Feng Sanniang is so straightforward and willing to give up 20% of the profit is to compensate for this.
And Xu Qingyang can agree so readily because he knows that he can't stop it. Not to mention that Master Mulong has cooperated with the other party's senior management, even if the other party's own power is not so easy to refuse.
The most important thing is that there is no business that can check and balance in this place.
As for the introduction of other forces to balance in the future, that is not something that needs to be considered now. The key is to get the share that can be obtained first and continue to develop.
Not long after the negotiation here, the banquet reached the later stage.
It seemed that both parties were quite satisfied. Finally, Master Mulong and Elder Miao left first.
After they left, Qingchen came up and said, "Regarding the matter of Liulian Temple, the ancestor meant that you should grasp the measure and strive for your own interests. Don't worry about anything. Master will definitely support you behind the scenes. No matter how powerful Liulian Temple is, they are also big. Master is not afraid of them..."
The first part is very clear, winning people's hearts.
The second part sounds a bit like complaining, and there are some concerns.
Xu Qingyang felt that Master Mulong was under certain pressure at this moment and decided to cooperate with Liulian Temple. What made him, the overlord of one side, feel pressured and had to win over such a commercial force to offset it.
Some undercurrents in Chaos Star Sea are beginning to emerge.
For the original residents, it may be foggy and misty, but he can analyze it based on the arrangement of his memory.
In a word, the overlord of Chaos Star Sea, the high and mighty Xinggong, has a problem and can no longer suppress the world.
According to the time point in memory, the outbreak was still early. He just felt the beginning of this undercurrent in advance because he had already intervened in the local, middle and high-level power circles. It is too far to consider these now, so he should do what he should do. He asked Qingchen about the situation of the southwest forces from the side, and then Master Mu Long would have to meet him privately.
There were not so many people at this meeting.
It was mainly a few foundation-building cultivators who had just joined the camp, who came to Master Mu Long's cave for a cordial visit.
Xu Qingyang was very well behaved throughout the whole process, and Master Mu Long did not pay much attention to him. He just asked several people who had problems with cultivation to ask questions at the same time this time, and he would be in seclusion afterwards, so he had no time to give instructions.
After ending this slightly boring party, Xu Qingyang immediately returned to Jiaoxing Island.
This island naturally cannot be lost. The new island owner is an aboriginal who surrendered to Xu Qingyang ten years ago and has been receiving his secret support. He is his secret line. Everything is normal after taking over.
Back on the island, Han Li, Xin Ruyin and others came out to greet him.
After briefly discussing the process of seizing the island, the next thing to discuss is whether to move.
There is actually nothing to discuss about this. We have discussed it several times before. Even if we want to move, we have to wait until Xu Qingyang has a complete grasp of the situation. At present, several people will continue to stay on Jiaoxing Island. After ten years of management by them, this place is like an iron barrel from inside to outside. Not even a fly can sneak in quietly.
The most important thing is that those people with the prefix "Xu" should continue to be trained here.
Anyway, it's not far away, so just treat this as the rear base.
And now with Han Li in charge, there is basically no need to worry about the safety of the island during the two years when he has completed his cultivation. It is almost impossible for cultivators who are more than he can handle to land on the island.
After discussing the arrangements at home, Xu Qingyang went to Storm Island alone to take up his post.
He has experience in this kind of thing. It's basically the same. First, go to the island to contact the main local families, announce the appointment, and take over the subordinate institutions of the island owner. At the same time, a large number of new generation mortal elites from the Gu family will follow him to take up his post. They will be responsible for infiltrating the jurisdiction of the mortal towns on the island. As for the cultivator institutions, the main force is the island guard.
The cultivators with the prefix "Mei" who took over the island guard generally have too low cultivation.
But he is not short of manpower. Qingchen has already prepared for him. In order to ensure the interests of his family, the first batch of more than 30 elites were sent to the island.
As for the resources and power distribution on the island, he also has a clear understanding.
How to do it specifically, there are the usual means of struggle on the island, Xu Qingyang does not need to intervene in the details, he only has one responsibility, to suppress the two foundation-building families on the island, a small sect with foundation-building cultivators, to ensure that they can be honest and not act rashly.
For this, the process is quite simple.
Everything in the world of immortal cultivation speaks with strength, and after sorting out the stalls left by his last term, he invited several foundation-building cultivators to have a Hongmen Banquet first, picking up the most unconvinced ones, twisting them out and dealing with them separately.
Killing the chicken to scare the monkey usually works well.
(There is another chapter at 6 o'clock, and another chapter in the early morning. Currently, there are four chapters a day. Everything is going well. Next month, ten thousand a day. I am really sorry for the previous period of time, and I will work hard later!)
