Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

He couldn't even understand the annotations.

Xingqiu thought he had read quite a few books and was by no means illiterate.

But now I have some doubts about myself.

Am I really...not illiterate?

“Very good notes.”

Elhaisen finally closed his notes and showed a hint of interest: "What books do you want to discuss?"

Xingqiu immediately perked up. "Is there a collection of Xumi stories? Stories about heroes and knights saving the world?"

There was a hint of surprise on Elhaisen's face.

He looked at the notes in his hand, then at Xingqiu, and finally at Wang Que who was enjoying dessert on the other side.

Seeing that Wang Que didn't react.

He then turned his gaze back to Xingqiu: "Okay, I'll come with the book at this time tomorrow."

As he spoke, he returned the notebook to Xingqiu.

"Okay." Xingqiu nodded immediately.

Elhaisen looked at Wang Que again and stood up to pay the bill.

Acting Store Manager: "Secretary Elhaisen, your coffee has already been paid for by those two customers."

Elhaisen: ...

Is this Liyue-style politeness?

Xingqiu grinned, "I'll see my friends tomorrow."

Friends? Elhaisen nodded calmly and turned away.

Wait until he leaves.

Xingqiu handed the notebook to Wang Que.

Wang Que waved his hand and didn't take it: "You take it, and exchange it with him tomorrow."

He paused and looked at the sky outside the door. It was already dark.

"Do we still need to wait for the storyteller?"

Xingqiu shook his head: "No more waiting."

I want to listen to books just to hear the story of Xumi.

Now that there are people who exchange books, there is naturally no need to listen to books.

Moreover, I heard from the acting store manager before that this storyteller’s skills are not very good.

I guess there won’t be any wonderful performances by the Liyue Storyteller.

There's no point in staying and waiting.

"Okay, then let's go back first."

Wang Que also wanted to go back and see how the people from the Chamber of Commerce were doing.

There are also Raymondo and Abatoi, and these two went directly to the House of the Decrees.

Raymondo is still okay, but Abatoi is an expellee, so I don’t know if there has been any conflict.

"Okay, go back."

The two greeted the acting store manager, said goodbye, and left.

Return to the floating city.

The two separated and went to see the situation of the Chamber of Commerce.

Wang Que arrived at the office.

He found that someone was already waiting for him.

He is a young steward.

He was the one who had communicated with the port officer before.

"Boss." Seeing Wang Que coming back, the young steward came forward to greet him, "I'm here to report."

Wang Que nodded slightly: "Let's talk inside."

As he said that, he opened the office door and walked in.

The young steward followed suit.

Walking to the desk and sitting down, Wang Que said, "I remember you. Your name is Fu Xu, right? Shitou said you're very good."

Fu Xu nodded: "Yes, Boss, my name is Fu Xu, and as for excellence... I am indeed excellent."

He has the pride of a young man and is not just humble.

However, Wang Que did not hate this kind of arrogance.

Because arrogant people are often capable.

People with ability can help him make money, so arrogance is not a bad thing.

As for those who are incompetent but still arrogant, they are called arrogance and clowns.

Wen Shitou would definitely not recruit a clown.

"Have you subdued the other managers?" Wang Que did not directly ask about today's business situation, but talked about the other managers.

If he is the only one who comes to report, it means that the other managers have given up the competition.

This is only the second day since arriving in Xumi.

Wang Que originally thought that this competition would not end until at least before returning to Liyue.

Fu Xu's face turned serious: "I persuaded them, I didn't pressure them."

"Well, I used the wrong words." Wang Que showed a hint of apology, and then continued, "So, you will be the person in charge of Xumi from now on?"

Fu Xu nodded and shook his head: "Of course I want to, but it still depends on your wishes."

He is arrogant, but not stupid.

He was just an employee, and the one who really made the decision was Wang Que.

Hearing this, Wang Que's smile became even more intense. He saw a hint of Wen Shitou in the other person.

However, Stone does not have such arrogance.

Maybe it has something to do with the environment I grew up in.

"Then there's no problem. As long as there's nothing wrong with Xumi, you'll be responsible."

Wang Que said softly, "Tell me, how did things go today?"

A hint of joy flashed across Fu Xu's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and said seriously, "The Xumi people are very receptive to our products. Among the goods we brought, cloth and silk are the best-selling, followed by wine and beverages, and finally porcelain."

"Tea sales are not good; they seem to prefer alcohol and coffee."

"Also, the market officials of the House of the Faith refused to sell us the Element Series weapons because most of the buyers were from the Gilded Brigade, desert people."

"But I've observed that there are no restrictions in the Adventurer's Association. They are still selling the elemental grenades they purchased from us, but they are also only selling them to adventurers, not to the Gilded Brigade."

"I think it is the Fatwa authorities who are restricting the development of military forces in the desert."

"However, the sales of talismans are very good. The Ministry of Justice has directly issued a purchase request to us, no matter what kind of talismans they want. They seem to be very interested in talismans."

Wang Que listened and nodded slightly.

In one day, or exactly in one afternoon, the other party was able to sort out so much information, which was enough to prove his ability.

Of course, this information was definitely not compiled by him alone, but also by other people in charge.

But the fact that he can command other people in charge shows his ability.

"Are there any progress on opening a store?" Wang Que did not respond directly to the above news, but asked about the store.

Fu Xu immediately said, "I consulted with Shen Da, the steward of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, and also inspected several prosperous streets in Xumi City, as well as the Grand Bazaar."

"The result of our investigation is that we should open a store on Baoshang Street. That's where wealthy people gather, and it's the most suitable place for us."

"In addition to Baoshang Street, the areas near the Karimi Exchange and the Jusha Hall can also meet certain needs."

The Karimi Exchange is the largest financial trading venue in Xumi City and is also the location of futures, stocks and other businesses.

Most of the people who come and go in this place are rich people.

The Jusha Hall is even simpler, it is the base for a group of thirty people.

Wang Que’s element series and talisman series both have their own audiences and do meet some of the requirements.

"Let's go to Baoshang Street. Let's look next to the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce store first. If we can't find it, we can look further away."

Wang Que decided.

Fu Xu nodded: "Okay, boss."

Wang Que: "Also, collect a list of Liyue merchants in Xumi."

Fu Xu: "What are you going to do?"

"Let's try to unite. We can always keep each other warm by sticking together." Wang Que said.

Fu Xu, however, had a different opinion: "Boss, most of the Liyue merchants in Xumi, except for some branches of the major Liyue Chamber of Commerce, have lived in Xumi for a long time and may not necessarily unite with us."

"And it's even less likely that the branches of those large chambers of commerce will unite with us."

He saw clearly the alliance that his boss was talking about.

It is definitely dominated by the Money Chamber of Commerce.

This is something that others cannot accept unless the owner gives up his interests.

Why do something if you can give up your own interests?

This kind of thing can only be solved if external forces intervene and force those people to join the Money Chamber of Commerce.

"It's okay, just collect information first, and maybe an opportunity will arise later." Wang Que smiled.

Fu Xu suddenly felt a chill in his heart, as if his boss was hinting at something.

He didn't dare to question it anymore and nodded vigorously: "Okay, boss, I'll remember it."

"Well, there's also the matter of the potion. Since you're in charge of Xumi's business, I'll leave this to you as well." Wang Que continued.

Fu Xu immediately spoke up: "I've investigated the Health Home's business regarding the Demonic Scale Disease Inhibitor, and I suggest cooperating with them."

"I spoke with Dr. Zakaria and asked other patients about him. He is a very good person with good medical ethics and is relatively noble."

"His two apprentices are also very good people. They should not tarnish the reputation of our potion."

Wang Que was really surprised.

"You've done a lot this afternoon."

Fu Xu was no longer arrogant, but smiled modestly: "It's all my duty."

Wang Que nodded slightly: "In that case, let's do as you say. The Demon Scale Disease Potion can cooperate with that Health Home."

As he spoke, Wang Que took out the letter given by Tinari.

"Come with me to the Ordinary tomorrow and we'll visit the 'noble' here."

"By the way, prepare two gifts."

Fu Xu asked, "What kind of gift do you need?"

Different people need different gifts.

Some things you think are very good may not be liked by the other person when you give them to them, and may even offend them.

So this is something that must be asked clearly.

"Well... there is a card game called Seven Sages Summoning, do you know it?" Wang Que asked.

In the game, Summoning the Seven Saints is a gameplay added in version 3.3.

But in reality, this game is a tabletop card game developed by the House of the Lords that is popular in the continent of Teyvat. It was invented by the Sumerian scholars Kavebida and Gulab.
