Time flies, and a few days have passed in a hurry.
After visiting the factory area, Ningguang quickly drafted a contract and reached a cooperation with Li Yan.
From then on, the shops and factories of Taisu Pavilion were temporarily managed by Ningguang.
Ningguang was responsible for selling all the goods to the seven countries, and the profits were split 50-50.
At the same time, Ningguang also needed to purchase a large number of precious mineral specialties, rare ancient books and alchemical element secrets for Li Yan.
The two were already influential businessmen, and the effect of cooperation was remarkable.
In just a few days, Liyue Port had undergone considerable changes.
"Why is the price of Taisu Pavilion's fabric so much lower? No, I have to buy a few pieces quickly, just in time for my family to change new clothes."
"Painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, fever medicine, cold medicine... these are all reduced in price? Our Adventurer Association can't miss it! I don't know if there is a purchase limit?"
"All kinds of paper are also reduced in price by half... It's really a good deed."
"..."
The locals in Liyue Port found that Taisu Pavilion and Ningguang's shop merged, and all kinds of goods were greatly reduced in price, and there was no purchase limit.
This made everyone generous, after all, the goods were good and cheap, very affordable.
"Liyue's goods are so cheap? This is a business opportunity!"
"Hurry up and place an order with Taisu Pavilion and Ningguang. As long as you sell Liyue's goods to the other six countries, we will be rich!"
The multinational businessmen were red-eyed. As long as these cheap goods were shipped to the other six countries, they could make several times more money.
In a short time, more and more ships docked and left Liyue Port, and the prosperity soared several times.
"How can the products of Taisu Pavilion and Ningguang be so cheap? The selling price is much cheaper than our cost! What is their cost?"
"How is this possible?! No... It's over! Now our products can't be sold at all, we must reduce the price to stop the loss!"
"Taisu Pavilion... Tianquan Ningguang! Why did these two companies suddenly cooperate? They don't give us a way out at all?"
"Well, now that things have come to this, I just hope that Lord Ningguang and Taisu Pavilion can show mercy and give us a meal, otherwise I will really go bankrupt."
"..."
Taisu Pavilion and Ningguang quickly seized the market, and all the Liyue merchants who had overlapping business broke their defense and vomited blood.
They couldn't resist the offensive of the two giants at all, and suffered heavy losses. They either went bankrupt or sought cooperation and became offline.
Yujingtai.
An elegant attic, people came and went, carrying all kinds of items in and out.
"My house..."
The haggard Maocai Gong stared blankly at the attic in front of him, looking very desolate.
Ever since Li Yan asked Zhao Gui to cut off the business with Mr. Mao Cai, and a large number of cheap goods have flooded the market in the past few days.
He, who could barely make a living before, went bankrupt in an instant, and even mortgaged his own house and various furniture collections.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Several servants carrying furniture shouted, hurriedly passed Mr. Mao Cai, and even knocked him to the ground.
The servants didn't care about this, and Mr. Mao Cai didn't dare to say much, so he could only leave in despair.
Because he is no longer the high-spirited businessman a year ago, but an ordinary person with no money.
Heyu Teahouse.
There are many spectators under the stage, surrounded by water, and it is very lively.
"Good, you are worthy of being the pillar of Yunhan Society!"
"Mr. Yun Jin sings well!"
"..."
A young actor in gorgeous costumes is performing on the stage. His singing skills are profound, his style is unique, elegant and soft, which attracts praise and applause from everyone.
The actor was none other than Yun Jin, the main star of the current Yun Han Society.
"Mr. Zhongli seems a little absent-minded today. Did I not perform well today?"
But everyone did not know that when the famous actor on the stage was performing seriously, his eyes would turn to a corner near the railing from time to time.
In the corner, a figure was sitting quietly.
The figure was tall and well-proportioned, wearing a black dress with platinum dragon scales, which looked like a suit and a robe.
He had short black-brown hair and a long ponytail. He looked young and handsome, but he also had an extraordinary temperament and a calm and heavy demeanor.
It was the Rock King Emperor Morax, one of the seven rulers who had transformed into Zhongli and was wandering in the world.
He looked calm, raised his teacup and took a sip, but his attention was no longer on the stage, but on the dock in the distance.
There were many ships passing by the dock, and it was even a little crowded, which seemed lively and prosperous.
Although Liyue Port is the largest trading port in Teyvat, it is also a prosperous and long-standing ancient trading capital, known as the Golden Port.
But the scene in front of him is far beyond the past and has not happened for thousands of years.
He has existed for more than 6,000 years, and the title of God of Commerce is included in his name, but this is the first time he has seen this situation, which shocked him and made him feel very novel.
"This foreigner's methods are really not simple."
He nodded slightly in his heart, and a trace of surprise and curiosity flashed in his golden brown eyes.
Liyue Port is not big, and of course he has seen and known Li Yan, and he knows that Li Yan is not from Teyvat.
After all, both of them are idle and have overlapping interests and hobbies, so they will naturally meet and have intersections.
It's just that neither of them has a deep friendship, nor has they revealed their identities.
They can only be regarded as friends who occasionally help pay the bill.
As a demon god standing at the top, the changes in Liyue Port in the past few days naturally cannot escape his insight.
But this also makes him feel more curious in his heart, because he knows that the changes in Liyue Port do not rely on extraordinary power.
It was a kind of power that he couldn't describe, but he had a premonition that it could change the world.
In the face of this power, Liyue and even the seven countries of Teyvat all revealed a hint of decay.
If Li Yan knew what Zhongli was thinking at the moment, he would definitely tell him with a smile that this was the power of technology and industry created by humans.
"Well, Li Xiaoyou, let me see how far you can go."
"Maybe I, an old guy, can learn a lot from you."
He smiled slightly and decided to let it go and not stop it. After all, the demon god loved people, and he had been protecting Liyue for thousands of years, even more so.
He had protected and led Liyue for thousands of years, and the lives of ordinary people were not that good.
Now that Li Yan has just arrived for a year, Liyue Harbor has changed significantly.
He was naturally very curious and expectant, and his mentality had also changed a little.
In the past, he governed Liyue by making laws, regulating and guiding the people of Liyue.
Now he saw a mechanical power different from the immortal mechanism in Li Yan, and wanted to understand and learn more.
On the other side, the Qunyu Pavilion in the sky.
Two figures were standing on the deck overlooking the ancient Liyue Harbor below.
Both of them stood facing the wind, their sleeves fluttering, as graceful as fairies.
"I have never seen such a bustling and prosperous Liyue."
Ningguangyu had a mysterious and elegant smile on her face, and her eyes were full of joy.
She liked Mora, but she liked Liyue more, which was her well-hidden weakness.
"Under the leadership of Miss Ningguang, Liyue will become more and more prosperous in the future."
Li Yan smiled and looked at Ningguang, praising her.
"This is all thanks to you, sir. I dare not take credit for it."
Ningguang shook her head, not agreeing with what Li Yan said, and then asked: "Sir, are you ready to leave?"
"Yes."
"When will you return?"
"I don't know, maybe soon, maybe a long time."
"..."
Ningguang was silent for a moment, then smiled beautifully, and said: "Then I wish you a safe journey and a smooth trip."
"Haha... Miss Ningguang said, I'm leaving now."
Li Yan laughed, and then his figure flashed and disappeared directly in front of Ningguang.
"..."
Ningguang felt a little disappointed when she saw Li Yan leave so simply.
Swish.
When she was feeling a little disappointed, a clear light suddenly flashed in the void in front of her.
The light dissipated, revealing the true appearance, which turned out to be a simple bronze mirror, about the size of a palm, with a line of words on the mirror.
"I almost forgot, this is a communication device, Miss Ningguang can contact me anytime if you have anything."
"This guy... really likes to make people angry!"
Ningguang's breathing stagnated, then she shook her head helplessly, and put away the bronze mirror with a smile on her face.
