Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

What Qixing really wants... is the technology in Wang Que's hands, or even the technology of the floating city itself.

Of course, they did not directly rob.

Instead, they wanted to send people to familiarize themselves with the manufacturing and operation of the floating city through a model similar to the previous [Tianheng Xuanzao].

In simple terms, Qixing wants to continue to insert people into Wang Que's industry.

Now, there are three options before Wang Que.

1. Reject Keqing's proposal and abandon the plan of Guyun Pavilion, and find a new place to build the floating city. However, it must be convenient for cargo transportation and recruiting workers, and it must avoid the Seven Stars, so such a location may be difficult to find.

Second, reject Keqing's proposal and proceed according to the contract that has been negotiated. The problem is that it will cost a huge amount of money and may not be able to stop the Seven Stars.

3. Agree to Keqing's proposal. The advantage is that it saves money and can borrow the power of the Seven Stars, just like the establishment of [Tianheng Xuanzao] before. The disadvantage is that people will be involved.

So, is Wang Que afraid that the Seven Stars will interfere?

What's there to be afraid of? Aren't there enough Seven Star people in his industry?

He just wants to make money.

So, Wang Que grinned and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? How many people do you want to send in this time? What positions do you want? Otherwise, I can just subcontract the project to you."

Chapter 244 Interests and Sincerity

Wang Que's strange attitude startled Ningguang and Keqing.

In fact, when Qixing was discussing, she had already thought that Wang Que might agree to their proposal.

However, it was still unexpected that he agreed so easily.

Without waiting for their response, Wang Que continued, "It's settled. You can fuck anyone you want, and you can learn any technique you want. I have no objection."

"But, Solitary Cloud Pavilion is free."

"Oh, by the way, Keqing, please help me get a construction team. I plan to build a main structure using the Mingxia Floating Life Stone."

Wang Que said happily.

Wang Que saw it clearly. As long as he had no intention of falling out with Liyue, he would usually make money by cooperating with Qixing.

Technology leaks? He doesn't care at all.

The biggest difference between his floating city and Ningguang's Qun Yu Pavilion is the subsequent modular field force generating device.

The most critical component of this thing is the [Tubion Device].

Hey, guess who made this thing? And guess where the factory is?

If Qixing learns his technology and also plans to develop a modular field force device, he will have to import the [Tubian Device] from Fontaine.

By then, Wang Que will not only not lose money, but may even make a profit.

How could he refuse such a good thing? The more the better.

Keqing and Ningguang looked at each other, feeling as if they were punching cotton.

But...at least the goal was achieved.

"In that case, let's sign the contract."

Ningguang pulled out a contract from the desk beside her, modified it slightly, and handed it to Wang Que.

Wang Que was speechless. As expected, everything was already prepared, just waiting for him.

"You could be more direct next time. You're wasting my entire afternoon."

Wang Que took the contract, signed his name, and then said something unhappily.

It's a pity that he even seriously discussed the terms with Ningguang and tried hard to bargain.

The results were all deliberately made to make things difficult for him (in fact, most of them were normal terms of negotiation, but Wang Que now thought that they were made to make things difficult for him).

After the contract was signed, Ningguang waved her hand. "Alright, that's all, both of you. I have things to attend to, so I won't entertain you."

Wave goodbye to see the guest off.

Wang Que and Keqing left the Tianquan office with a contract that belonged to him.

On the way downstairs.

Keqing suddenly said, "I'm sorry."

Wang Que: "What?"

"I'm sorry about what happened this time." Keqing paused and said sincerely.

Wang Que smiled: "Because you plotted against me? That's not necessary, I completely understand."

Although she and Keqing can be considered friends.

But no matter what, her most important identity is still Qixing.

In this situation, asking others to give up their Seven Star status and come to help him? Wang Que is not stupid.

Keqing and Xingqiu are different after all.

Xingqiu would really give up some of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce's interests to help his friends.

As one of the Seven Stars, Keqing will never allow the interests of the Seven Stars to be harmed. Of course, in name, it is definitely the interests of Liyue.

"The floating city plan you submitted is very consistent with our planning for future defense forces."

Keqing explained softly.

"I thought this was your core skill, so you put on such a show, but I didn't expect..."

Wang Que chuckled: "I didn't expect that I would be so easy to talk to?"

He stood beside Keqing and said with a smile, "Because you haven't infringed upon my core interests."

"What do you care about?" Keqing couldn't help herself. She was really curious. "Tianheng Xuanzao's people are almost all ours, and you don't care."

"When you first arrived in Liyue, you didn't have many cards in your hand. I understand why [Tianheng Xuanzao] allowed us to interfere."

"But now, the Talisman Joint Factory is almost completely occupied by the alchemist family, and you don't care."

"As for the Elemental Plantation, apart from recommending the Lan family to help, you didn't interfere at all."

"Wang Que, what do you care about? Is it really just for Mora?"

Keqing's eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement.

Keqing has a large chamber of commerce behind her, and her family is originally a wealthy family in Liyue.

Mora was actually not something precious to her.

Therefore, she could not understand Wang Que's desire for Mora.

It's not just Keqing, many people also don't understand Wang Que.

As a newly rising big businessman in Liyue, Wang Que's influence is gradually expanding, and most of the industries he is involved in have entry barriers.

People like this are not just targeted by the spies from the General Affairs Department.

All institutions in Liyue will investigate him.

But almost all institutions cannot discern Wang Que’s true purpose.

Compared with other businessmen, Wang Que's behavior is too strange.

Not like a normal businessman at all.

Facing Keqing's doubts, Wang Que smiled and said, "Why not? I'm doing this for Mora."

But sometimes, the more sincere you are, the less people believe you.

Glancing deeply at Wang Que, Keqing sighed, "Then what do you need so many Mora for? The treasury of Tianheng Xuanzao, where money only goes in but never leaves, is almost becoming an unsolved mystery in Liyue Harbor."

Wang Que laughed heartily: "Of course I have my own uses for it. As an alchemist, it's normal for me to stock up on Mora."

You can say you like Mora, but you definitely can’t say you like Gold Finger.

"Then you've stockpiled too much." Keqing shook her head. For an average alchemist, or even a weapon forger, consuming a hundred or even a thousand Moras at a time is already the limit.

And what about Wang Que? He stored hundreds of millions of Mora in the vault and then disappeared.

Is this normal?

However, Keqing only asked this question.

She knew she probably couldn't ask any further, as it would be impolite to get to the bottom of it.

"Anyway, I still have to say sorry for what happened this time. However, since you really don't care about these superficial things, we won't use such means next time." Keqing apologized again.

Wang Que smiled and nodded: "That's right, I'm just a businessman who wants to make money, there's no need to play those games with me, being open and honest is better for everyone."

Keqing nodded: "Okay."

The two continued to walk out.

Keqing escorted Wang Que all the way out of Yuehai Pavilion before turning back.

...

at the same time.

In Ningguang's office.

Uncle Tian was drinking tea.

"Do you think there's any problem?" Ningguang frowned and looked at Uncle Tian who was drinking tea.

Uncle Tian shook his head slightly: "I can feel that he really doesn't care, and he's even a little happy."

Ningguang's brows furrowed even more. "You're saying that, despite us interfering so much, even to the point of stealing his technology, he's not only not angry, but actually very happy?"

"I wouldn't say he's very happy, but he must have thought of something that would be beneficial to him." Uncle Tian said with certainty.

As Tianshu Star, he mostly appears as a staff member and opinion provider.

Therefore, he has a special perspective when it comes to looking at people.

He could confirm that Wang Que did show joy after Keqing spoke.

"This is not right." Ningguang said coldly.

Uncle Tian continued to smile: "This shows that we haven't touched upon the fundamental interests of Boss Wang."

He put down his tea and said, "Boss Wang has stated many times that he is a businessman and abides by the law."

"I've read his file. After his business started to pick up a bit, he went to find Yan Fei to deal with legal matters."

"Many merchants who grew up in Liyue Harbor don't have this kind of awareness."

"But this behavior also reflects some of Mr. Wang's views, that is, he is law-abiding."

After a slight pause, Uncle Tian continued, "At least when it doesn't affect his fundamental interests, he absolutely abides by the law."

"Of course, abiding by the law doesn't make you a good person, but at least you won't cause too much harm."

"As for what his fundamental interests are, that depends on whether Yuheng can find out."

He just finished speaking.

The door of Tianquan's office was opened again.

Keqing walked in with a cold expression.

"Don't call me next time for such calculated things."

She glanced at Ningguang with some displeasure.

Ningguang didn't react at all.

Uncle Tian tried to smooth things over, saying, "Haha, Wang Que isn't angry at all. Keqing, did you ask anything?"

Keqing said coldly: "Mora, his bottom line is Mora."

There was silence in the office for a moment.

After a while, Uncle Tian nodded slightly: "Although this bottom line is a bit... weird, but putting aside all impossibilities, this is the final answer."

Ningguang's eyes flickered slightly. "Is that so... He seems unconcerned about the various infringements on his power, but in reality, it's only because these factories and plantations are providing him with Mora on time that he acts so indifferent."

A smile suddenly appeared on her lips: "If that's the case, then I know how to make friends with him."
