Chapter 1835
by Moonlit_Scholar_CInside the Five Directions Chamber of Commerce, a group of people looked at each other in dismay, still in shock and confusion, but there was more surprise.
“President… Do these land deeds really include all the shops on the entire Tenglong Avenue? Gao Hong asked in a trembling voice. If this was really the case, then the value of this box of land deeds was simply inestimable!
The people of the Five Directions Chamber of Commerce, under the leadership of Hua Youmeng, had worked hard for more than twenty years to secure such a small shop on the tenglong Avenue. Moreover, they didn’t have the ownership, only the right to operate for thirty years. Not only did they have to pay a considerable rent every year, but once the time was up the Purple Star City would also take back this shop.
But now, a whole box of more than thirty deeds is held in Hua Youmeng’s hands like this…
This means more than thirty shops, and it’s the shops on the entire street that are connected together. Any merchant can see the huge benefits from it.
Gao Hong and the others were almost fainting with happiness.
Hua Youmeng also trembled with both hands, checked it again, looked up at the crowd who had been paying attention to her, and said hoarsely： “It’s true…”
“Hahaha, now our Five Elements Chamber of Commerce can’t help but develop！” Yao Qing kept patting his bald head. It seemed that because he was too excited and couldn’t calm down, his eyes were shining with terrifying light, and he was already imagining the beautiful future： “I’ve long been upset with the Tianyuan Firm next door. They often compete with us maliciously. Humph, now I see what they can use to fight us. Later, I will drive them out. By the way, there is also that Baodan Hall. Last time when I went there with Haitang, those bastards in the Baodan Hall actually looked down on people with their dog eyes and blasted us out. It was really infuriating. Now that the deed of the Baodan Hall is in our hands, I want to see if they still dare to blast me. Haitang, come with me later to teach them a lesson！”
Haitang stood beside, nodding her little head vigorously. Obviously, she also held a grudge about the last incident.
“A small man intoxicated by success becomes insolent!” Xia Jingwu glared at Yao Qing. The latter smiled sheepishly and scratched his head awkwardly, not daring to refute at all. In the Five Directions Chamber of Commerce, Hua Youmeng had the highest prestige, followed by Xia Jingwu. As the think tank of the chamber of commerce sometimes his words were even more effective than Hua Youmeng’s.
“Uncle Xia, what do you think about this matter…” Hua Youmeng finally came back to her senses from the huge shock and looked at Xia Jingwu hesitantly.
The latter stroked his beard. He didn’t seem too excited. Instead, his brows were tightly furrowed. After pondering for a long time, he said softly to Hua Youmeng, “President, the key to this matter lies there.”
He gestured towards the room and continued, “Whether it was the attitude and compensation of Road Commander Lu and others yesterday, or these deeds today, it’s not the ability of our Five Directions Chamber of Commerce. We don’t have this kind of ability either. Since the key is not on us, the president might as well talk more with the key person. Maybe we can find out something.”
Hua Youmeng thought about it and nodded slightly. She said, “Everyone should not make a big deal out of today’s matter. The chamber of commerce will still be closed today and not open for business. Everyone can do whatever they should do.”
As she spoke, she walked towards the backyard in a hurry with the wind under her feet.
Not long after, she returned to the wing room where Yang Kai was again.
Yang Kai looked at her with a smile. Obviously, he already knew what had happened outside.
Hua Youmeng didn’t beat around the bush either. She directly took out that jade box and placed it on the table in front of Yang Kai, saying, “My lord. This thing is too precious. I’m afraid our Five Directions Chamber of Commerce doesn’t have the fortune to enjoy it. If we forcefully keep it, I’m afraid it will attract unwarranted disasters. So please deal with this thing, my lord.”
After experiencing shock and excitement, she also gradually understood. Lu Tianfeng would ask someone to send this box of land deeds over completely because of Yang Kai. She doesn’t know the ins and outs of Yang Kai. As long as Yang Kai was here for a day Lu Tianfeng’s attitude towards the Five Directions Chamber of Commerce might still be servile and not be negligent. But if one day the chamber of commerce lost Yang Kai’s protection, these more than thirty land deeds would definitely become the beginning of a disaster.
An ordinary person is innocent, but he is guilty because he holds a jade. In Purple Star City, even in the outer city, land deeds are extremely rare things. That is something that only powerful merchants can possess. The Five Directions The Chamber of Commerce is too small and simply not qualified to occupy any one of them.
Would Yang Kai always protect the Five Directions Chamber of Commerce? Hua Youmeng thought it was impossible. After all, the other party was a Void King Realm powerhouse. Being able to help them conveniently was already a blessing from the ancestors. How could one expect his long-term protection?
Yang Kai looked at her thoughtfully and said, “Since it’s for you, then President Hua just accept it. These things are worthless to me. I don’t have any use for them even if I take them.”
Hua Youmeng let out a bitter laugh. “But…”
Yang Kai reached out and interrupted her. “There’s no buts. You can rest assured and accept these things. Don’t think too much. I will bear all the consequences.”
Hua Youmeng stared blankly at Yang Kai, seemingly tasting a hint of other information from his words, and couldn’t help but say gratefully, “Since Sir has said so, then this concubine thanks Sir.”
Although her cultivation was not bad, she was still a merchant after all, and no merchant could reject this box of land deeds.
Yang Kai smiled and said, “However, I would like to know how President Hua plans to deal with these land deeds？”
“How to deal with them?” Hua Youmeng was stunned for a moment, and then said, “I have always had a dream. I want to hold the land deeds of the Five Directions Firm in my own hands. However, the land in Purple Star City is extremely precious, and the land deeds are really too expensive. Our original plan was to spend another ten years saving up Saint Crystals to buy the land deeds, and then use this shop as the foundation to slowly develop, changing from a small Chamber to a large Chamber. I don ‘t expect to be able to compare with the Heng Luo chamber of commerce, but just hope not to be bullied everywhere!
As she spoke, she also let go of her restraint and caution, and there was a touch of excited blush on her pretty face, looking as charming as a young girl “This is not only my personal dream, but also the dream of Uncle Xia, Sister Hong, Yao Qing, and Haitang. We have been working hard for this dream. Merchants travel around, but who doesn’t want to have a stable home? Now this dream has been achieved so easily… With these deeds, I can expand the Five Elements Firm more than ten times, hang the plaque of our Five Elements Firm on the entire Tenglong Avenue, and let our things be sold throughout the entire Purple Star City!
At the end, she even danced for a while, and there was a strange luster in her beautiful eyes, as if a beautiful future picture was unfolding in front of her, and she couldn’t control herself for a long time.
It was not until she noticed that Yang Kai was looking at her with a smile that Hua Youmeng had an embarrassed expression, her face was as red as purple, and she said in a low voice: “I made adults laugh…”
“Everyone’s dream is sacred. Why would I laugh at you?” Yang Kai said seriously. “President Hua must have been very hard these years, right?”
“There must be a little bit of hardship, but with all the brothers and sisters by my side, any hardship is nothing. “Hua Youmeng smiled sweetly, making Yang Kai slightly absent-minded.
Youdaoplaceholder0 perceive that Yang Kai’s gaze was different, she quickly lowered her head and a intense heartbeat came from her chest. Deep in her heart, she was extremely nervous for fear that Yang Kai would take a fancy to her.
But then she thought about it, being favored by such a young and promising Void King Realm master didn’t seem to be such a bad thing. Although she hadn’t been in contact with him for a long time, Hua Youmeng believed that her ability to judge people was not bad. Yang Kai was very different from those lofty and arrogant Void King Realm masters. Not only was he approachable, but he also didn’t look bad. With his heroic figure and tough face…
What was she thinking about randomly？ Hua Youmeng suddenly came back to her senses and wished she could find a hole to drill into.
“Well, President Hua has a very comprehensive conception of the future, but I wonder if you can listen to my words？” Yang Kai naturally didn’t know the thoughts deep in Hua Youmeng’s heart and said on his own.
“My lord is the benefactor of the Five Directions Chamber of Commerce. Just speak your mind.” Hua Youmeng replied with great effort.
“These land deeds… don’t keep a single one, sell them all！” Yang Kai said in a deep voice.
“Huh？” Hua Youmeng was stunned and never expected that what Yang Kai wanted to say was actually this. If this was really done, then the future she had just conceived would immediately become a bubble.
All her dreams would also not be realized.
“Do you believe me？” Yang Kai looked at Hua Youmeng sincerely, looking directly into her eyes.
Being stared at by this gaze full of aggression, Hua Youmeng’s heart suddenly became flustered. She averted her gaze and nodded subconscious: “Naturally, I believe my lord.
“That’s good. There are specific reasons that I’m not convenient to elaborate on. You can’t keep these land deeds. It’s better to dispose of them as soon as possible. One day you will understand why I ask you to do this.”
His trip to Purple Star City is to steal the Star Emperor Token, and there will definitely be some conflicts with Purple Star. Although Lu Tianfeng, because of the existence of the Respect Order, deliberately showed favor and had someone send so many land deeds, once Yang Kai’s purpose is exposed, the Five Directions Chamber of Commerce will definitely be implicated. At that time, it will absolutely be impossible to stay in Purple Star City anymore, and these land deeds will become worthless.”
It’s better to sell them all now and gather a large amount of Saint Crystals.
As long as there are Saint Crystals, why worry that the chamber of commerce can’t develop？
Although Hua Youmeng doesn’t understand why Yang Kai asks her to do this, after calming down and thinking about it carefully, she faintly thinks of something. She can’t help but tremble slightly and nods： “I understand.”
Yang Kai looks at her with profound meaning and smiles slightly： “President Hua is really a smart person.”
“I’m just a woman, and I just follow all the teachings of the adult. Well, can I ask the adult for one thing？”
“What is it？” Yang Kai becomes curious.
“Can you accompany me out for a while？”
“What for？” Yang Kai frowns.
“It’s like this…” Hua Youmeng explained. “There are really too many of these land deeds. If we really want to sell them, relying solely on my Five Elements Chamber of Commerce, I’m afraid we won’t be able to get a good price, and we don’t have much ability to handle this matter either. I want to hand these land deeds over to the Tongtian Auction House for processing and let them publicize and auction them on our behalf. In this way, we can also maximize the benefits.”
