Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

But it’s normal to think about it, the alchemist family has a history of thousands of years in Liyue.

Not to mention how much wealth they have accumulated, having a relatively comfortable place to stay in Liyue Harbor is definitely nothing.

Enter the ancient house and come to the main hall.

Chongyun bowed to the old man and said, "Grandpa, I have invited my friend Wang Que to come."

He emphasized the three words 'my friend'.

The old man smiled, not caring about Chongyun's little thoughts, and stood up to greet Wang Que.

"Boss Wang, I apologize for what happened to the third brother."

He kept a low profile.

Wang Que naturally wouldn't refuse the favor given by others. Smiling, he took two steps forward and held the old man's arm: "Great Elder, you are joking. I don't care about the Third Elder's matter anymore."

The chief alchemist elder still looked apologetic: "After all, what he did was wrong, so inviting Boss Wang here today is also a small apology."

"Hi, Chongyun and I are friends. You are Chongyun's elder, which means you are my elder. How can an elder apologize to a younger person?" Wang Que was still polite.

"Right is right, wrong is wrong. It has nothing to do with seniority." The old man was firm in his attitude.

Wang Que said helplessly, "Then let's just have this meal and let the matter be over."

The old man smiled and nodded. "That's right. Take your seats quickly. Chongyun, notify the kitchen staff that the dishes are ready to be served."

Chongyun nodded quickly: "Okay, Grandpa."

After saying that, he turned around and went to the back to notify.

Wang Que and the old man sat down.

The old man took the initiative to ask, "Boss Wang, how many people do you need for your plantation?"

Wang Que smiled slightly and said, "The plantations are now managed by the General Affairs Department and the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. I'm not too sure."

He imagined that Keqing must have communicated with the other party.

The old man was talking to me about this now just to start a conversation.

"Is that so? Then what are the requirements for the professional level of the staff?" The old man asked again, "Chongyun told me that he must help you to check it carefully."

Hearing this, Wang Que sat up straight. "The main thing is that they need to have a certain understanding of talismans, runes, magic arrays, and earth vein elements. As for the more professional things, I can teach them later."

The old man nodded slightly. "In that case, we are the ones who have the better deal. We get paid and we also learn advanced knowledge."

Wang Que smiled and said, "It's just a matter of mutual benefit."

"Yes, it's mutually beneficial." The old man smiled and nodded, then said, "Boss Wang, your talisman factory..."

Wang Que interrupted directly: "Great Elder, you should also understand the matter of [Tianheng Xuanzao]."

"Hahaha, I know, I know. It's Qixing who doesn't want to." He looked relaxed, then said leisurely, "But I understand that Boss Wang, you didn't sign any exclusive contract with Qixing, did you?"

Wang Que raised his eyebrows and immediately became interested: "What do you mean?"

If the other party continues to talk about investing in [Tianheng Xuanzao], Wang Que will definitely not agree.

But now, it seems that the old man is not coming for the shares of Tianheng Xuanzao.

"Since there is no exclusive contract, it doesn't mean that we can only cooperate with Qixing." The old man said with a smile.

Wang Que immediately said seriously: "I am not cooperating with Qixing. I took an interest-free loan from Qixing."

There is a difference between cooperation and loan.

The old man smiled and nodded. "That's even better. There won't be an exclusive contract for the loan. In that case, how about we cooperate to develop a talisman factory?"

He had a gentle smile on his face. "Among our clan, there are also many children who are not proficient in their skills and have not been able to get started, but they can still complete some basic talismans."

Wang Que thought for a moment.

The other party's suggestion is theoretically feasible.

No one stipulated that Wang Que could only open one factory.

If he wanted, he could naturally open another factory, and it would not be illegal to designate Tianheng Alchemist as his partner.

嗏

This is related to the layout of the Seven Stars.

Why did Qixing strongly support Wang Que's [Tianheng Xuanzao]?

If you want money, give money, if you want people, give people.

He didn't even take any of the profits, but gave all the profits to Wang Que.

This kind of behavior that can be called charity can't be Qixing's true kindness, right?

On the one hand, after listening to Wang Que's original plan, he wanted to open up and occupy Liyue's extraordinary alchemy market to prevent the market from being completely occupied by foreign products.

On the other hand, they certainly wanted to keep the factory under their control.

If at this time, Wang Que cooperated with Tianheng Alchemist to rebuild a talisman factory.

Then, would Qixing think that Wang Que had "betrayed" them?

The chance of this happening is small, but not impossible.

Moreover, the talisman technology of Tianheng alchemists is not backward. They have been passed down for thousands of years and have accumulated a lot of experience in this area.

They can just start a new business.

So, Wang Que looked at the old man and asked, "Why do you have to drag me into this?"

The old man smiled and said, "You are Chongyun's friend. I don't want Chongyun to lose a friend because of the matter of the third brother."

"Also, this is an investment in you, Boss Wang. We don't want to compete with you."

"After all, this can be a win-win cooperation."

Wang Que nodded slightly, agreeing with the other party's statement.

Tianheng Alchemist can indeed build his own factory, but at that time, he will definitely conflict with Tianheng Xuanzao.

But they had no confidence in defeating Wang Que, who had the support of Seven Stars.

It would be better to cooperate directly with Wang Que.

So, Wang Que thought about it and said bluntly: "Cooperation is possible, but how can we make Qixing feel at ease?"

The old man was not surprised by Wang Que's worry: "I will surrender to Qixing."

Soft clothes?

Wang Que showed a hint of surprise.

"Is it weird?"

The old man still smiled,

"The Third Brother was stirring up trouble before because he was unwilling to give in and couldn't see the situation clearly. But now, the situation has become clear. The Immortal still supports the Seven Stars. So what else can we say? Submission is the only option."

After a pause, he looked at Wang Que and said, "Yesterday, Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun went to the clan."

Wang Que understood and nodded: "As long as you can resolve Qixing's concerns, I support cooperation."

The old man nodded: "Okay, I will go to Tianquan to negotiate tomorrow. When I have clear information, I will contact you again."

Finished speaking.

Chongyun's footsteps were heard at the door, and he and his men began to serve the dishes.

Chapter 161 Ningguang's Attention

Three days later,

Wang Que received the call from Yue Haiting.

One month later, Hai Ting's secretary found him and said that Tianquanxing wanted to invite him.

Wang Que knew that it must be the great elder of the alchemist family who took action.

Then he followed Yuehaiting's secretary to Yuehaiting.

Come to the top floor.

There is only one office here, which belongs to Tianquanxing alone.

Compared to the low-key luxury of Yuheng’s office, this place is simply luxurious and grand.

When you push the door open and walk in, you will see the magnificent atmosphere of the Gui Palace - eight-treasure glazed lamps hang from the beams, and the floor is covered with maple velvet carpets, the golden and magnificent splendor is dazzling.

There is a Duan inkstone on the desk, with ink stains not yet dry. Next to it stands a bronze Qilin paperweight, with its pupils inlaid with turquoise, as if looking down upon the visitors.

Just by walking in here, you can seem to feel Tianquan’s broad-minded ambition.

"Lord Tianquan, Boss Wang Que has arrived."

Secretary Yue Haiting said softly.

Ningguang raised her head and looked at Wang Que: "Wait a moment, I'll finish processing this document."

Wang Que nodded and found a place to sit down.

He looked at the document in Ningguang's hand, which seemed to be about the arrangements for the Moon Festival.

Then he looked away and waited quietly.

After a moment, Ningguang finished processing the documents in her hand and looked at Wang Que again. "Boss Wang, I heard that you are going to open a new talisman factory with Taoist Tianheng?"

Wang Que remained calm upon hearing this and said, "I do have this idea. I just discussed it with the elders of the alchemist family a few days ago."

Ningguang nodded slightly. "If we're going to open this factory, what will happen to Tianheng Xuanzao's talisman production? Should we merge them or separate them?"

Wang Que sat up straight. "I hope to merge them. This way, it will be more convenient for management and for making new talismans in the future."

Ningguang nodded slightly and continued, "But the new factory won't have the tax exemption policy for Tianheng Xuanzao. Don't you mind?"

Her tone was faint, as if she was reminding Wang of something.

Wang Que thought for a moment and smiled, "Lord Tianquan, is there something wrong?"

Ningguang shook her head. "There's nothing wrong with that. The Fangshi family has already discussed it with us. They'll build a factory with you and it will be under Seven Star supervision."

"I just want to ask for your opinion, so that you don't lose out on your interests."

Wang Que heard this and said, "Currently, the net profit of Tianheng Xuanzao's talismans is about 25 million per month, but the market is far from saturated."

"Giving up the tax exemption for talismans and choosing to expand productivity is beneficial to me. Even after paying taxes, I will earn more money."

"But I also thank Lord Tianquan for considering me."

There was genuine gratitude in his tone.

Ningguang smiled and said, "This is what I should do."

After a pause, she looked at Wang Que and said, "Boss Wang, what do you think of Liyue's laws?"

Wang Que's expression became serious: "I'm just an ordinary businessman, so why would I have any opinions?"

Ningguang smiled and said, "It's just a casual chat between the two of us. Don't be nervous."

"Lord Tianquan, you are joking. The Seven Stars govern Liyue according to the law. This is the rule left by the Emperor. I dare not exceed it." Wang Que remained honest.

Ningguang gave Wang Que a deep look and said, "I didn't expect Boss Wang to be so disciplined."

Wang Que held his head high: "I am the most law-abiding person."

“Heh, that Golden House lost over 100 million Mora, surely it wasn’t Boss Wang who took it?” Ningguang said in a cold tone.

As time passed, Liyue Harbor gradually stabilized and she had time to deal with some things.

Since so many Moras were missing from the Golden House, it was natural for them to report this to her.

During that period of time, there was someone who had been to the Golden House and had the ability to take Mora away quietly.

Only the king is missing.

Don't forget, among Ye Lan's suspicions about Wang Que, there is also the suspicion that Wang Que can take Mora out of thin air.

Of course, these Moras have already been counted on Tartaglia, and he has even received corresponding compensation from Solstice.

She brought this up now just to warn Wang Que not to do anything that Qixing doesn't want to see. Qixing knows everything he does.
