Fights Break Sphere: I am not Xiao Yan

Chapter 24 Business Possibilities

"I think it's better to just refuse directly."

The second elder coughed twice and expressed his opinion, "Since you want to cut it off, just cut it off with a clean knife."

"Otherwise, if he gets involved with this mercenary group, it might cause resentment among his enemies, and then affect the business of my Xiao family."

"Yes."

The third elder nodded and agreed with him as he continued, "That's what I meant. But I think a little differently."

The second brother glanced at him.

It's a rare opportunity for me to make a comment, but I get criticized back. Aren't you trying to dampen my enthusiasm?

"My idea is that since we have the initiative, we can make peace with most of them through trade and stand on the same front with them."

The third elder's eyes wandered around, but he kept talking: "Over time, we will be tied together. If there is any trouble in the future, we can establish a friendship and ask them for help."

"What the Third Elder said makes sense."

Xiao Zhan nodded and changed the subject: "However, since we have come to this point, why not go a step further?"

The two elders couldn't help but look at each other, obviously understanding what Xiao Zhan meant.

Now that we can form a group, why not bind ourselves more tightly? For example, take the lead in establishing a mercenary guild or something, so that we can all make money together.

For those mercenary groups, they can focus their efforts on putting pressure on outsiders who have not joined, or they can use some tricks to suppress newcomers and reduce strong competitors.

Naturally, the Xiao family has a lot more bargaining chips. They don’t need to pay much to gain a fixed and huge market and make a fortune.

"Chief, is this a bit too risky?"

The second elder frowned.

This behavior is tantamount to land enclosure and division, which directly determines the pattern of this urban cluster.

As to whether it can be done, there is no doubt about it.

Apart from the Xiao family, which force could wholesale high-quality low-level elixirs? How many of those high-ranking alchemists would be willing to waste time and energy refining so many useless things?

Retail is cheap and of good quality, wholesale is full and has few defects.

For a mercenary group that has many low-level cannon fodder and mainly conducts mountain sweeps, the Xiao family is the chosen partner.

What's more, it's not like they can't produce higher-end goods.

"Yes! Those families have had complaints for a long time. I think it won't be long before they take action."

The third elder seemed to see through everything: "Even those Douling masters are watching here."

"This is not what we should be most worried about..." The Second Elder, who finally stood on the atmosphere, complained, "You are the Director of Foreign Affairs, but you didn't even think of that."

The third elder was stunned and his expression changed slightly.

Obviously he also realized the seriousness of the situation: "Chief, what about us?"

Xiao Zhan raised his hand to suppress his voice, then stood up and paced in the hall, thinking.

It’s not that no one has done this before, and some people have done it much better than them.

——The Mittel family!

Not only did they set up regional mercenary-merchant groups, they also sought external alliances.

Eventually, they reached cooperation with merchants in various regions and merged into a business complex covering the entire Gama Empire.

then……

There is no more.

The stable output of cultivation resources is already highly linked to mercenaries, and now there is also a commercial monopoly.

It can be said that the Miter family directly replaced the grassroots structure of the Gama Empire. From the common people to the lower-level practitioners, everyone only knew Miter, but not Gama.

Then, they only had auction houses in each city that they did not interfere with, and the headquarters were moved to the imperial capital, near the Yunlan Sect and the imperial palace.

Under the euphemism of marching into the imperial capital, they became the largest commercial force officially recognized by the empire.

No matter what, the Xiao family moved out of the imperial capital. Everyone present understood the ins and outs of these matters.
"This has happened before. Will Gama allow it to happen again?"

The second elder frowned, but there was more than one thing that bothered him: "Besides, Mittel may not just sit back and watch us grow bigger."

"And that alchemist... He may not accompany us to do such a risky and unpredictable thing." The elder who had been AFK silently finished off the opponent, but his blow caused real damage.

Xiao Zhan stayed there quietly for a long time, struggling in his heart.

He was different from these three old men. He had no intention of returning to the imperial capital from the beginning.

It would be best if it succeeds, but it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t.

Rather than jumping back into the muddy waters of the imperial capital, he would rather be a local rich man, living a safe and stable life.

If Dou Ling is placed in the imperial capital, there will be big brothers everywhere.

But if placed in the local area, he would be a top-notch strong man.

Same thing.

What's more, the new generation of the Xiao family has good talents and personalities. If they are trained properly, it is not impossible for three or five Dou Ling to emerge in the future.

Xiao Zhan didn't want to give up this opportunity.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li had no choice but to do something about it, but Xiao Yu had already wasted some of his talent, and time waits for no one.

"Three elders, the children grow up very quickly..."

Xiao Zhan sighed softly, and the old men all understood what he meant.

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became heavy.

"If it really doesn't work, just accept the amnesty then." The elder, leaning with his eyes closed, tapped the armrest. "At worst, I'll sacrifice my reputation and ask for help."

The second elder's face trembled slightly.

Who else can the Xiao family ask for help now? It's none other than the Lionheart Marshal who is on par with the former family master's brother.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. We can discuss it later."

As expected, when this matter was mentioned, Xiao Zhan felt a little annoyed and chose to avoid talking about it on the spot.

"Tattoo..."

The maid knocked on the door and came in to say, "Patriarch, three elders, Miss Xiao Yu is waiting outside."

"Oh?"

The elders instantly perked up and straightened their postures.

Even Xiao Zhan was visibly relieved. He sat back in his seat and waved, "Let her in."

The maid glanced at the people's tea bowls from a distance.

"Yes."

"It's been a while since I last saw Yu'er." The great elder twirled his beard, his eyes full of smiles.

"Yeah, yeah... I don't know how she's doing in the academy."

The third elder also missed him from the bottom of his heart.

The Xiao family's top leaders valued this Canaan top student who worked hard to practice.

Especially in the past two years, my family has become rich but I didn’t tell anyone…

I feel so guilty about it.

Several leaders of the Xiao family smiled at each other, and the gifts in their arms had already been prepared for Xiao Yu.

……

Xiao Yan did not stay in the clan’s territory for long. After talking for a few words, he left the house and headed for the back mountain.

"Sa——"

A heavy black shadow moved through the trees. Apart from the thud when it landed, there was almost nothing unusual about its movements.

Perhaps it was because of his strong blood and energy, Xiao Yan adapted to the Xuan Zhong Chi at an incredibly fast speed.

It's just a little difficult to swing it now, but it's not a big problem, because he still has two pairs of handcuffs on his body.
