Chapter 1301: Chapter 991: Changhong Trading Team Returns
Lu Chen had long anticipated that Ye Xingteng would co to borrow people, and he had been waiting for Ye Xingteng to co and ask.
Seeing Lu Chen seemingly in agreent, Ye Xingteng tentatively asked: “I wonder what kind of compensation Lord Lu would require?”
Lu Chen said with a smile: “Since the Cosmic Developnt Company sold you the starships, teaching you how to control them naturally falls within our responsibility. There’s no need for additional paynt.”
“However, I do have a sowhat presumptuous request, and I wonder if President Ye could agree to it.”
Ye Xingteng asked with curiosity: “I wonder what Lord Lu needs to do?”
“Lord Lu, just say the word. As long as it is within my power, I will certainly help Lord Lu,” said Ye Xingteng.
Lu Chen, with a smile on his face, said: “I would like to trouble the Changhong Trading Team to take so people to the Chiyue Dynasty, as the Cosmic Developnt Company intends to establish a subsidiary there.”
“On the way to the Chiyue Dynasty, the employees of the Cosmic Developnt Company can teach President Ye and your team how to control the starships. What do you think?”
This…
Ye Xingteng had not expected that this was Lu Chen’s true intention, but then again, the Chiyue Dynasty wasn’t far from the Daxia Dynasty anyway. Even if he didn’t take them, the business of the Daxia Dynasty would inevitably reach the Chiyue Dynasty one day.
However…
Bringing the Daxia Dynasty’s trading team to the Chiyue Dynasty now isn’t sothing beneficial for the Changhong Trading Team or the Ye Family.
The Changhong Trading Team had just purchased a considerable amount of goods in the Daxia Dynasty intending to sell them in the Chiyue Dynasty. If the trading team from the Daxia Dynasty also expanded into the Chiyue Dynasty, wouldn’t that take away the business of the Changhong Trading Team?
Although in his heart, Ye Xingteng was already considering aligning with so imperial forces to obliterate the Daxia Dynasty, such a process would be lengthy and couldn’t be achieved by just convincing a few empires to take action against the Daxia Dynasty.
Seeing Ye Xingteng’s hesitation, Lu Chen imdiately guessed what he was thinking.
Lu Chen continued: “President Ye, you needn’t worry that the Cosmic Developnt Company will compete with the Changhong Trading Team for business. When the ti cos, we can sign an agency contract, with all goods produced by the Daxia Dynasty to be sold by the Changhong Trading Team as the agent in the Chiyue Dynasty.”
As a businessman, Ye Xingteng naturally understood what an agency agreent entailed, but he still had so reservations.
However, it quickly dawned on Ye Xingteng that perhaps in less than five hundred years, the Daxia Dynasty would be annihilated, and by then, everything from Daxia would belong to the Changhong Trading Team, the Ye Family. There was no need for him to worry too much about the impact the Daxia Dynasty could bring to them.
With this thought, Ye Xingteng said: “Alright, I agree to your terms.”
Seeing Ye Xingteng’s agreent, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Lu Chen’s mouth, “Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation.”
Lu Chen’s real purpose was not to establish a subsidiary in the Chiyue Dynasty, but rather to send so spies to the Chiyue Dynasty.
After his investigations over the past few years, the Chiyue Dynasty was the closest empire to the Daxia Dynasty, but they did not have a particularly good understanding of it, and no one knew whether the Chiyue Dynasty harbored any hostility towards the Daxia Dynasty.
Although Lu Chen currently had no plans for expansion, one must be vigilant. He still wanted to probe the stance of the Chiyue Dynasty towards the Daxia Dynasty.
Moreover, he believed that since the Daxia Dynasty had already discovered the existence of the Chiyue Dynasty, the Chiyue Dynasty must have also beco aware of the Daxia Dynasty.
Now that even the trading teams from the Chiyue Dynasty had appeared in the Daxia Dynasty, it would be impossible for the Chiyue Dynasty to be unaware of the Daxia Dynasty.
If, after the Changhong Trading Team leads the employees of the Cosmic Developnt Company into the Chiyue Dynasty, the other party directly eliminates the personnel from the Cosmic Developnt Company, that would prove the Chiyue Dynasty’s hostility towards the Daxia Dynasty.
If the Chiyue Dynasty had not annihilated the branch of the Cosmic Developnt Company at the first mont, but instead chose to contact the Daxia Dynasty through the Cosmic Developnt Company, then they could have used the Cosmic Developnt Company to gain a clear understanding of the Chiyue Dynasty’s actual strength.
Half a year later, the Immortal Boat of the Changhong Trading Team, carrying personnel from the Cosmic Developnt Company, set out on their journey to the Chiyue Dynasty. The Changhong Trading Team, being a trading team, wouldn’t head straight back to the Chiyue Dynasty, but would conduct business with the forces of various Star Domains along the way into Chiyue territory.
Consequently, even though the Chiyue Dynasty wasn’t far from the Daxia Dynasty, it would still take the Changhong Trading Team several years to return to the Chiyue Dynasty.
Of course, what Cultivators are least concerned with is ti, and during these years, the employees of the Cosmic Developnt Company accompanying the Changhong Trading Team also established nurous branches in other Star Domains.
As a result, the influence of the Daxia Dynasty continued to expand, although this was not Lu Chen’s original intention.
Chiyue Dynasty.
Biyun Star Domain, Wind Sea World.
In the void, a series of gigantic Starships gleaming with tallic luster were slowly approaching Wind Sea World.
The cultivators in space were stunned upon seeing these Starships, as they were witnessing “Immortal Boats” that didn’t require the propulsion of Spiritual Power for the first ti.
On the palace atop a mountain in Wind Sea World, a middle-aged man muttered to himself upon feeling the large number of Immortal Boats nearing: “What’s going on? Why are there so many Immortal Boats appearing in Wind Sea World today?”
No sooner had the middle-aged man spoken than another man descended from the sky and rushed to say in front of him, “Realm Master, there’s trouble. A large number of Immortal Boats are approaching Wind Sea World, and so of them are particularly strange, being able to travel through space without the propulsion of Spiritual Power.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Maoxun’s frown deepened, as it was his first ti hearing about Immortal Boats that didn’t require Spiritual Power to operate.
This won’t do, he thought, I must go check it out myself, in case it’s an enemy invasion.
Wind Sea World is located at the edge of the Biyun Star Domain and also at the fringes of the Chiyue Dynasty, tasked with the responsibility of defending against enemy invasions.
As the Realm Master of Wind Sea World, Ji Maoxun had to investigate any minor disturbances in the surrounding Star Domains.
At this mont, without a mont’s hesitation, Ji Maoxun went directly into the void.
As soon as he entered the void, his gaze was imdiately drawn to those tallic-gleaming Immortal Boats. Upon closer examination, he found that these Immortal Boats really did not rely on Spiritual Power for montum.
Propelling these Immortal Boats forward seed to be blue flas.
Just then, Ji Maoxun suddenly noticed that among these tallic Immortal Boats, there were so bearing the flags of the Changhong Trading Team.
As a native of the Chiyue Dynasty, Ji Maoxun was very familiar with the Changhong Trading Team, but it was his first ti seeing their Immortal Boats made of tal.
Ji Maoxun wondered to himself where the Changhong Trading Team had acquired so many peculiar Immortal Boats.
While Ji Maoxun was lost in thought, a familiar voice ca through, “Realm Master Ji, long ti no see!”
With those words, Ye Xingteng appeared before Ji Maoxun.
Seeing Ye Xingteng, Ji Maoxun completely relaxed and said with a smile, “President Ye, where did you get these Immortal Boats from? How can they be propelled without Spiritual Power?”
“I thought they were enemy vessels from another Empire invading us.”
