On the streets of Feiyunpo.
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
After leaving Liuli Pavilion, Li Yan saw that Zhao Gui was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to say much, so he gave an order.
"Boss, as you said, since we have such a huge production capacity, why do we still have to cooperate with Ningguang?"
"As long as I give me some time, I can increase the profit by at least five times."
Zhao Gui didn't dare to neglect it and quickly expressed his doubts.
Since his family has such strength, why not hold all the profits in his own hands?
Li Yan glanced at him lightly and shook his head slightly.
Although he became a wealthy merchant in Liyue with his help, he was just a small businessman born in the world of theocracy and feudal aristocracy, and his ideological awareness and vision were still too shallow.
Mora only needed enough to use, he didn't care, he valued extraordinary knowledge.
What's more, after the price reduction, it can also benefit the people, which is a merit.
"I'm about to go out to travel, and I don't have time to continue to secretly look after the business. It's more beneficial for Taisu Pavilion to let Ningguang escort."
Li Yan explained, and then chuckled: "Besides, a gentleman loves a beautiful lady."
After staying in Liyue for a year, he has reached a bottleneck in elemental power.
Although continuing to deduce can continue to improve the level, it consumes too much time and origin points. It is more cost-effective to obtain more high-level elemental power knowledge.
Zhao Gui's connections and background are still too shallow, and he can't get in touch with high-level knowledge.
And Ningguang, as a powerful Seven Star, can build a small floating city, which is definitely much better than Zhao Gui.
And after joining the chat group, he has more confidence and decided to act bolder. He plans to go out to travel and obtain more cultivation resources.
What's more, he admires and likes Ningguang very much, and has the intention of pursuing her, so he doesn't mind catering to her preferences and cooperating with her.
"So that's how it is, shopkeeper, I understand."
Zhao Gui nodded after hearing this, as if he had suddenly realized something.
His shopkeeper was not an ordinary person, and there were not many people in Liyue who could match him.
Ningguang was one of them, with her natural beauty and noble status.
As a housekeeper, he naturally had no objection to letting his future mistress take advantage.
Obviously, he had full confidence in whether Li Yan could marry Ningguang.
As for Li Yan's plan to travel, he had no idea at all. ...... On the other side.
Liuli Pavilion, in the box.
After Li Yan left, Ningguang did not leave, but talked to the middle-aged female secretary. "This is the first time I see you encounter such a difficult opponent.
The same thing was negotiated three times before it was settled." "And the fact that he was able to successfully negotiate this time obviously shows that he had other ideas and purposes." "He took the initiative to make concessions the first two times, otherwise you would have almost no way to get him to lower the price."
The middle-aged female secretary spoke slowly, and her young and crisp voice was seriously inconsistent with her appearance.
She reached out and tore off the mask, revealing a young and beautiful face.
She had short black hair with side bangs and emerald eyes dotted on her fair and beautiful face, which made her look even more heroic.
Her name was Ye Lan, and she was a special intelligence officer directly under Ningguang of Tianquan Star. She was good at disguise, and she was ever-changing and elusive.
"Mr. Li is indeed the most difficult business opponent I have ever met. He taught me several lessons this year, and it really left a deep impression on me."
Ningguang did not deny it, but sighed with emotion.
She had been playing business games for many years, and she had never met an opponent who made her feel so passive.
Unless she used her power to make unreasonable laws to force price cuts, she had no other options. Every time she made progress, Li Yan would give in.
It was because the products of Taisu Pavilion were so special that they could not be imitated at all.
Not only was the output high and the quality good, but the cost was also low. The epoch-making technological gap had exceeded the imagination of Liyue merchants.
"And... he had seen through your beauty trick a long time ago, and he praised the ointment you used, but he still gave in."
Ye Lan teased Ningguang and said playfully: "It seems that he really appreciates and likes you. You are worthy of being Lord Ningguang of Tianquan Star. You are really charming."
"Humph... This is my natural capital."
Ningguang couldn't help but roll her eyes at Ye Lan when she heard this, showing her pride and charm.
A woman like her who is powerful, wealthy and charming naturally has no shortage of suitors.
A nobleman from Yujingtai, a captain who traveled around the world, a big businessman from a foreign country...
Everyone is willing to spend all their efforts to exchange for her smile, and even spend a huge price just to see her.
With such a stunning beauty, she will naturally not give up this advantage.
When facing her suitors, she appears polite, but maintains an elegant and decent distance without losing her imagination, which makes everyone fascinated and unable to stop.
"Heroes are hard to resist beauty."
Ye Lan agrees with Ning Guang's beauty: "If I were not a woman, I would also have a crush on you."
"You are wrong."
Ning Guang shook her head and sighed helplessly: "Mr. Li is different from other people who pursue me."
"Although he did not hide his admiration and love for me, he did not take the initiative to invite me, and we have not even met many times. We only interacted and competed in business."
"As his business grew bigger and bigger, his influence also grew bigger and bigger. I haven't found his weakness yet, but he has guessed my weakness, making it impossible for me to ignore his existence."
"If it weren't for the price reduction of Tai Su Pavilion to benefit the people of Liyue, I would not easily meet him. This kind of person is too scary and can be said to be insightful."
"But fortunately, although he looks idle and unemployed on weekdays, he is indeed a good person in his style of doing things, otherwise Liyue might be in trouble."
"..."
Ye Lan was quite surprised when she saw her best friend and boss, who had worked with her for many years, talking freely.
She could sense that Ningguang was quite impressed with Li Yan, and even had some good feelings for him.
After all, Li Yan was very outstanding no matter what standard he was judged by.
His appearance, temperament, knowledge, wealth, strength... could all be called a dragon among men.
However, there were many unknown secrets about Li Yan's identity and origin, which made Ningguang feel worried and confused.
"He is indeed very mysterious, and the other six countries have not found any records about him."
"He calls himself a poor Taoist, and I don't know if he is a Taoist who practices in seclusion in the mountains. Or is he the legendary... immortal?"
"The only information that can be confirmed is that he suddenly appeared in Liyue a year ago and founded Taisu Pavilion."
"The factory of Taisu Pavilion is also extremely mysterious. Although it is in Liyue Harbor, no one can explore its secrets."
"Many spies will be subdued and knocked unconscious as soon as they get close to the factory. Even I can feel the breath of danger when I am about to approach and explore, so I have to give up."
"This shows that he is very powerful. Fortunately, he did not mess around and did not do anything illegal."
Ye Lan nodded slightly to show her agreement, and then said: "But this time he invited you to visit the factory tomorrow, which is a good opportunity to see if you can find some of his secrets from it."
"Let's take a look first."
Ningguang did not comment on the words, and did not hold any hope in her heart.
After all, how could a place that allows her to visit at will involve Li Yan's real secrets?
She didn't think that Li Yan, who could make her feel so much pressure, was that simple.
