Chapter 420 Unmatched! Compromise!
"Feng Huizhang means, do you want to fight us to the death?"
An Zhiyuan gritted his teeth.
A hint of disdain flashed in the eyes of Feng Jun, Liu Qinghui, and others.
The current Nan Dou Chamber of Commerce is no longer a match for the Chang Qing Chamber of Commerce. It doesn't take much effort to suppress them.
After all, even a behemoth like the Nan Dou Chamber of Commerce cannot be completely self-sufficient. They also need to purchase raw materials and various goods from the outside world.
And now, all the states and regions around are under the control of the Chang Qing Alliance. As long as the Chang Qing Alliance does not allow it, they can only stare helplessly.
By cutting off the channels for purchasing goods, the Nan Dou Chamber of Commerce will soon be in crisis. Without a source of goods, how can they do business?
An Zhiyuan realized this and immediately found Feng Jun and others to discuss the matter.
"Vice President An, since we have come to this point, let's not hide anything. Let's speak frankly!" Feng Jun said lightly. "We are determined to win Yu Zhou. There are only two options for your Nan Dou Chamber of Commerce: either join us or... face destruction!"
An Zhiyuan's face changed constantly, his breathing became rapid, and his face turned red with anger.
"Feng Jun, your status is not equal to mine. I want to talk to your president!" he said fiercely.
Feng Jun chuckled. "I'm sorry, Vice President An, our president is busy with many affairs and doesn't have time to come here. We have the authority to make decisions... By the way, I heard that Ling Ai has contact with our vice president. Maybe you can ask Ling Ai to contact our vice president. Perhaps there might be a turning point."
An Zhiyuan trembled all over, pointing at Feng Jun and the others without saying a word.
Feng Jun reminded him, "I forgot to tell Vice President An one thing. You have already put all those spirit crystal mirrors you purchased from us to use, right? In fact, we are well aware of all the prices, raw materials, and transactions you have made. If you don't compromise, it won't be as simple as cutting off your supply!"
An Zhiyuan's pupils contracted, showing an expression of disbelief.
How could this be!
As Feng Jun said, the spirit crystal mirror is a groundbreaking product, and they have long been using it in large quantities.
They had also tried to crack and replicate it, and even sought out many artifact refining grandmasters, but they were all helpless and could only purchase a large number of them from the Chang Qing Chamber of Commerce.
Unexpectedly, his actions had actually planted a trap for the Nan Dou Chamber of Commerce!
Doesn't this mean that the Chang Qing Chamber of Commerce knows everything about the actions of the Nan Dou Chamber of Commerce, including all their commercial secrets?
An Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
If that's the case, the Chang Qing Chamber of Commerce doesn't need to exert much effort or resources to destroy the Nan Dou Chamber of Commerce. They can quickly bring the Nan Dou Chamber of Commerce to its knees!
Chang Qing Chamber of Commerce!
An Zhiyuan gritted his teeth.
So they had planned it all along!
Feng Jun lightly tapped the table with his fingers and smiled. "Vice President An, we are only giving you a warning for now and haven't fully taken action yet. It's also to give you a chance to choose. Opportunities only come once, and I hope you can seize it! Joining us is not a bad choice, and it might even elevate you to a higher level!"
Liu Qinghui chimed in, "That's right, Vice President An. You should have a long-term perspective. Joining our Chang Qing Alliance is the most correct choice for you!"
An Zhiyuan stared fiercely at Feng Jun and the others for a long time before slowly standing up and clasping his hands. "Thank you all for the reminder. I will give a reply as soon as possible!"
After speaking, he turned around, soared into the sky, and disappeared.
——
Nandou Trading Association.
By the side of Lingtan.
An Wenxin was still quietly fishing with his fishing rod.
An Zhiyuan swooped down from the distant horizon and landed behind him, saying in a deep voice, "Father!"
An Wenxin didn't even turn his head and replied, "Did you talk to them?"
An Zhiyuan made a sound of agreement and said with an unpleasant expression, "Yes, we talked. The Changqing Alliance is being very tough. They want to completely take over Yuzhou. We no longer have the qualifications to resist them. They have even planted seeds on our side. They control all the spirit crystal mirrors, and our every move is within their control..."
He explained the crisis facing the Nandou Trading Association.
An Wenxin's hand holding the fishing rod trembled slightly. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "I said at the time that although the spirit crystal mirrors are good, it's best not to use them extensively. Do you understand now?"
An Zhiyuan lowered his head and said, "I understand, Father. But even without the spirit crystal mirrors, the Changqing Alliance doesn't need to exert too much effort to deal with us."
An Wenxin shook his head helplessly and turned around to look at him. "The ambitions of the Changqing Alliance are already clear and unstoppable. How do you plan to deal with them?"
An Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and said, "We have a large number of cultivator armies in Yuzhou. As long as we apply pressure, the imperial and royal dynasties here will send cultivators to help us resist. Even if we have to fight to the death, we won't let them have an easy time!"
An Wenxin shook his head and said, "Our daughter, Yuanyuan, often contacts the vice president of the Changqing Alliance, Qin Changqing. She even goes to Yongzhou and Youzhou to play with him when she has nothing to do. According to her description, the strength of the Changqing Alliance is unfathomable. They have a supremely powerful leader behind them, who can even easily destroy immortals. And even if you can mobilize the power of the imperial and royal dynasties, they now control the surrounding states, so naturally they can too. With such strength, how can we resist them?"
An Zhiyuan's eyes flashed with shock.
Even immortals can be easily destroyed?
Is it true or false?
His face turned pale.
Could it be that their Nandou Trading Association is really going to be destroyed?
"Yuanyuan finds that Qin Changqing very interesting. Go talk to her, maybe there is a compromise!" An Wenxin turned around again and cast his fishing line into the Spirit Pool.
An Zhiyuan showed an incredulous expression and said in disbelief, "Father, are you suggesting that we want Yuanyuan to..."
An Wenxin calmly said, "The Nandou Trading Association has existed for tens of thousands of years. Do you want to see our hard-earned foundation destroyed? If Yuanyuan can achieve something with Qin Changqing and join the Changqing Alliance, it's not a bad thing. Perhaps, as they say, it can take us to another level!"
An Zhiyuan looked dejected.
He had always despised arranged marriages like this, but he never thought that he would become such a person himself.
Fortunately, Yuanyuan is fond of Qin Changqing.
He was just afraid that Qin Changqing wouldn't treat his daughter well in the future...
After all, it could be seen from the previous incident with the spirit crystal mirrors.
This is what Qin Changqing intended.
This guy is not as simple as he appears on the surface. He is cunning and has long had a plan, planting an irresistible trap for himself!
What a cunning fox!
"Alright, I'll go talk to Yuanyuan..." An Zhiyuan remained silent for a long time before turning around and flying away.
The fishing line in An Wenxin's hand suddenly began to tremble. With a flick of his wrist, a large, fat fish flew out of the water, splashing and struggling on the shore.
An Wenxin stared at the fish on the ground and smiled bitterly, "The willing ones take the bait..."
