Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

But...caravan?

"Pay taxes! You need to pay taxes to qualify for parking."

Shabandar displayed the professionalism of a harbor officer.

You can’t do anything else, but you can definitely collect taxes.

The caravan manager was not surprised: "Of course, we will pay the full amount of tax according to the transaction volume."

Shabandar stared at him and said, "That's better. I'll send someone to keep an eye on you."

The steward smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, we are all honest businessmen."

"Halwa! Halwa, where the hell have you been? Come here and keep an eye on these people. Don't let them evade taxes!" the port officer shouted loudly.

"Here I come, Mr. Shabandar."

A girl who had just entered the workplace ran over.

"Keep an eye on these people. I'm going to make a report."

Shabandar gave a cold and low order, then quickly left with the group of thirty men.

The girl was left looking at the manager of the caravan at a loss.

The steward shook his head slightly. The port officials of the Ministry of Education... have the feel of a makeshift team.

He looked at the girl and said, "Ms. Halva, please help us arrange a port for docking."

Halva finally realized: "Oh, okay, Pier 3 is vacant now, you can use it."

"Thank you." The Chamber of Commerce manager nodded. "By the way, there seems to have been a riot just now. Can I ask why there are so many people here?"

Halva replied subconsciously, "The Elchingen Chamber of Commerce delivered something at the dock today, attracting many residents of the Grand Bazaar."

"Elchingen Chamber of Commerce? Are they a local chamber of commerce in Xumi? They actually gave gifts, so they must be a very good chamber of commerce." The manager asked intentionally.

"The headquarters of this Chamber of Commerce is in Fontaine, and the owner is also from Fontaine, his name is Elchingen."

Halva immediately shook his head: "Even though they may give some small favors, they also like to evade taxes. They are not a good chamber of commerce..."

Halfway through my words, I felt like I had said too much.

She quickly changed the subject: "Please come with me, I will take you to the dock."

As she spoke, she also looked up at the floating city and airship above her: "Flying in the air is really amazing."

……

There were no accidents during the joint caravan's stop.

Wang Que also received a reply from the steward.

"Elchingen Chamber of Commerce?"

Wang Que narrowed his eyes slightly and began to recall things in his mind.

He was somewhat familiar with this name, but it shouldn't be an important character, so he couldn't remember it for a moment.

The memory palace kept flashing, and some long-lost memories were dug out.

After a while, Wang Que showed a hint of realization: "So it was him."

Elchingen, sponsor of the Fungus Beast Competition.

He sponsored a project called "Orb of Will", which actually controlled monsters.

Wang Que remembered that this project could even be traced back to Inazuma's [Net of All Directions] and some of Liyue's magic.

However, it seems that the development on Xumi's side was very dangerous, and the developer was eventually arrested by the Ministry of Education.

"So, this chaos is a surprise given to me by this Fatui?" Wang Que's eyes sank slightly.

But he quickly shook his head.

"No, Elchingen admires the Doctor. The Doctor wouldn't resort to such low-level tactics. Could it be that Elchingen acted on his own initiative?"

"That's not right. How did he know I was coming today?"

"Is the Fatui's intelligence system in Xumi already so strong?"

"Or was it that Elchingen was about to do something bad today, and I just happened to see him?"

"Is it really just a coincidence, as Xingqiu said?"

After changing his thinking, Wang Que felt that it was really possible.

The Elchingen Chamber of Commerce distributed goods to everyone, attracting a large number of residents from the Grand Bazaar.

The Grand Bazaar is actually the civilian area of ​​Xumi City.

Perhaps Elchingen was helping the doctor choose his prey.

Use some means to gather people together, then screen and select the "consumables" needed by the doctor.

The arrival of the floating city just happened to attract these people, causing a riot.

"So, do I count as saving the people of the Grand Bazaar?"

Wang Que smiled and gave himself credit.

"However, the Elchingen Chamber of Commerce is worth paying attention to."

"We can eat it later. Maybe it can fill our stomach."

He remembered that during the Fungus Beast Competition, this Elchingen sponsored a full 60 million Mora.

Since they give so much money in sponsorship, there must be more money.

Thinking room.

The airship has been docked (the floating city will not land), and a group of laborers from the Grand Bazaar have been hired to start moving the goods.

These goods will be delivered to Feiyun Chamber of Commerce’s store in Xumi.

After the Money Chamber of Commerce purchases the store, it will be subdivided.

"Wang Que, Wang Que, let's go for a walk in Xumi City."

Chapter 325: First Meeting with Brother Hai at the Cafe

In a mansion in Xumi City.

"I heard you made quite a commotion today."

A young man wearing a pointed-mouth mask sat on the sofa, with a middle-aged man standing in front of him.

The middle-aged man's eyes were full of fanaticism.

"Sir, it was just an accident. I was planning to collect health information from the residents of the Grand Bazaar."

The middle-aged man said.

Just as Wang Que guessed, this was indeed an accident.

At the same time, Elchingen was collecting physical information from the residents of the Grand Bazaar to screen "materials" for the doctor.

"An accident... Tsk, that's for the best." The doctor stretched lazily. "Normally you like to act on your own, so I won't say anything. But if you provoke Wang Que, I won't be able to protect you."

"When the time comes, I'll hand you over. Don't blame me."

His tone sounded like he was joking.

But Elchingen knew it was the truth.

If he provoked Boss Wang, his master would really hand him over.

"Please rest assured, I will never do that." Elchingen was already lying in front of the doctor with his head resting on the ground.

"That would be best."

The doctor spoke softly, "I just feel a little sorry for Pantalone. He rushed back to Liyue from Inazuma, not knowing that he was already in Xumi."

"We can ask him for more funding."

……

Xumi City Baoshang Street.

"This is the most prosperous place in Xumi City."

Xingqiu spoke as he walked.

"The Feiyun Chamber of Commerce's store is over there, close to the Grand Bazaar's warehouse, so it has a good flow of people."

"You're planning to buy a shop, so I suggest you do it here too."

Xingqiu talked about the benefits of this place and even pointed to a shop not far away.

He actually didn't have any other intentions, it was just a simple recommendation.

However, Wang Que thought it was very good.

Baoshang Street is a very large area.

If we can gather the merchants from Liyue together, perhaps we can create a special area.

Compared to fighting alone, this kind of distinctive area will be more attractive.

Of course, if some "bad guys" appear, it may cause the reputation of the entire area to be ruined.

But Wang Que felt that as long as Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and Jinqian Chamber of Commerce could suppress other merchants, this model would be very promising.

"What about the Grand Bazaar? Has your family ever known about it?" Wang Que asked again.

Xingqiu nodded, then shook his head. "Of course I've heard of it. Initially, we also wanted to open a shop in the Grand Bazaar, but failed."

"What do you mean?" Wang Que was curious.

Xingqiu: "I can't sell anything."

"Butler Shen gave me some files here that describe the environment of the Grand Bazaar."

“The people there are very welcoming and easy to get along with, but there is one big drawback.”

He looked at Wang Que and showed a hint of helplessness: "We don't have money. Most people living in the Grand Bazaar can't afford our goods."

"In the context of Xumi, a grand bazaar means a large market. So, while the people living there aren't exactly poor, they're mostly ordinary people. Since our goods are shipped from Liyue, the prices can't be cheap."

It is difficult for ordinary people who can barely make ends meet to spend money on exotic goods.

Unless it is dumping at a low price.

But Feiyun Chamber of Commerce obviously did not do such a thing.

“So, in the end we had no choice but to give up the Grand Bazaar and open a shop at the intersection of the Grand Bazaar and Baoshang Street.”

Listening to Xingqiu's explanation, Wang Que nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

They came from Liyue to do business, so they definitely can't do low-profit business, otherwise they won't be able to make back the transportation costs, not to mention the manpower and the like.

Therefore, we can only deal in goods with high profits.

These goods are either luxury goods or other valuables.

These things are similar to the big bazaar in the farmers' market and they definitely cannot be sold.

At least the sales will definitely not be good.

Therefore, places like Baoshang Street where rich people gather became the only choice.

"Let's hand it over to the managers later." Wang Que said.

Although Xiu Wen and Wen Shitou did not come to the floating city this time, he also brought a group of managers from the Money Chamber of Commerce.

They were all recruited by Wen Shitou.

Among these people, one will stand out and become the chief manager of the Xumi branch of the Jinqian Chamber of Commerce.

"Okay, I still hope that we can all get together." Xingqiu nodded.

The two of them strolled along Baoshang Street, stopped talking about business matters, and started to hang out.

There was a bustling crowd all around, and the signs of various shops sparkled in the sun.

On both sides of the street, vendors shouted and hawked their goods, with a wide variety of spices, silk, jewelry, and exotic handicrafts. The air was filled with the aroma of coffee, toast, and fresh fruit, which was dazzling.
