Chapter 2741
byFenglin City, the branch of Ziyuan Chamber of Commerce.
Fenglin City is not what it used to be. It has risen extremely fast. As one of the two major chambers of commerce in the Southern Region, Ziyuan Chamber of Commerce naturally added a branch here, and there is even a strong Emperor Venerable Realm powerhouse sitting here. The continuous flow of martial artists in Fenglin City and the nearby Linghu City has brought great trading volume and profits to the chamber of commerce. Naturally, Ziyuan Chamber of Commerce attaches great importance to this.
The branch has fifty various shops under its jurisdiction, and there is also an auction house of good scale. In the past few years, Ziyuan Chamber of Commerce has already made a lot of money in Fenglin City.
Walking into the branch of the Purple Source Chamber of Commerce, Yang Kai looked around and found that there were quite a number of martial artists in this hall. Most of them were whispering about something, and there were also some who were browsing the goods placed here cursorily.
The hall was very large and built extremely impressively, highlighting the remarkable financial strength of the Purple Source Chamber of Commerce.
In the corner, several beautiful girls who were lightly playing and whispering saw Yang Kai walk in and immediately one of them came over. Standing still in the front of Yang Kai, she gave a charming greeting and said, “Greetings to this sir. I wonder what sir needs?
Yang Kai could tell at a glance that she was specially trained to receive guests. Many chambers of commerce had such existences. Looking at that girl, she was not very old, about sixteen years old, but she had a pretty appearance, a sweet smile and a soft voice, which easily made people have a good impression.
Yang Kai smiled and said, “I have a business to discuss with your chamber of commerce.”
The girl’s beautiful eyes lit up. Maidservants like them were most willing to hear such words because they had a commission for each business. Although commission amount was not large, if it was really a big business, once it was completed, the cultivation resources for several years would not have to worry about.
Previously seeing that Yang Kai had an extraordinary bearing, she was now even more certain of this. For a while, the girl became even more enthusiastic and said with a smile, “I wonder what business sir wants to discuss. The maid can make decisions for anything below ten million source crystals.”
“Inferior source crystals?” Yang Kai asked.
“Right!” The girl nodded.
Yang Kai smiled and said, “Then ask your person in charge to come out.”
The girl was slightly stunned. She quickly reacted. The business this adult wanted to discuss was probably not something she could decide. Ten million low-grade Source Crystals was a huge number for her, but for some people, it was actually not a big deal. Especially those at the Emperor Senior Stage.
It seemed that the business the adult in front of her wanted to discuss was of this kind.
With a solemn expression, the girl said, “Please come with me to the private room, sir, and wait for a moment.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly and followed the girl in one direction.
Not long after, they came to an independent private room. The girl arranged for Yang Kai to enter and served tea. Then she said, “Please wait a moment, sir. I will go and invite the steward.”
Yang Kai remained motionless like a mountain. Just as the girl was about to go out, he suddenly said, “By the way, have you heard of a person named Kang Siran?”
Shopkeeper Kang was the first friend he made in Fenglin City. Yang Kai was able to obtain the inheritance of Gongsun Mu thanks to the guidance of Kang Siran. However, at that time, Fenglin City was too small. After Kang Siran was promoted to the Dao Source Stage, he was transferred away by the Purple Source Chamber of Commerce, and no one knew where he was transferred to.
It had been more than ten years since they last met.
Now that Yang Kai had returned to his old place, he naturally thought of him. He had just casually inquired, but he didn’t expect the girl to be surprised and say, “Do you know Steward Kang, sir?”
“Huh?” Yang Kai was Stunned .
The girl smiled and said, “If sir knows Manager Kang, how about this maid asking him to come over and discuss with you?”
Yang Kai raised his brows and said, “Kang Siran is here?”
“That’s right. Manager Kang is right here in this branch.”
This was really a pleasant surprise. Yang Kai didn’t expect that with just a casual question, he could find out such a thing. He immediately nodded and said, “Alright. Please ask him to come over.”
“Yes!” The girl responded, bowed, and retreated out of the door, closing the door behind her.
In the private room, Yang Kai sipped on the tea and waited quietly.
After a short while, there was a knock on the door. Yang Kai smiled and said, “Come in!”
The door opened, and Kang Siran’s figure appeared in Yang Kai’s field of vision. When their eyes met, Kang Siran was extremely astonished: “Yang… “Brother Yang!”
“We meet again. Nice to see you again, Brother Kang!” Yang Kai smiled and cupped his fists.
Kang Siran was both surprised and delighted. He closed the door and said, “I was just wondering which old acquaintance came to look for me. It turns out to be Brother Yang. It’s been more than ten years since we last saw each other, right?”
“That’s right. Brother Kang, sit down and talk.”
After not seeing Yang Kai for such a long time, Kang Siran was quite excited. After all, he was able to advance to the Dao Source Realm thanks to the Dao Source Pill that Yang Kai gave him. If not for that, he might still be trapped at the peak of the Void King Realm and unable to make any progress, and he wouldn’t have his current cultivation and status.
And in more than ten years, Kang Siran’s cultivation has actually reached the second level of the Dao Source Realm. It seems that in these more than ten years, he has also worked hard and cultivated well for a while.
After sitting down, Kang Siran couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Thinking back then, both he and Yang Kai were in the Void King Realm and had also gone through life and death together. Now seeing each other again, it feels like a lifetime ago.
Didn’t Brother Kang get transferred away? Why has he returned to Fenglin City now?” Yang Kai asked curiously.”
Kang Siran smiled and said, “Fenglin City is not what it used to be. The General Association naturally pays more attention to this place. Although my cultivation is not very high, I have been operating here for half my life after all, and I am extremely familiar with the situation in Fenglin City. That’s why I was sent back here.”
Fenglin City is a good place now. There are many people in the General Association who want to get in here. If it weren’t for Kang Siran’s natural advantage, with his cultivation, this sweet pastry would never have fallen to him.
But even so, it is estimated that he will be transferred away again in a while, because the branch has already established a firm foothold here and is gradually familiar with Fenglin City. There is no need for him to guide anything. At that time, there will naturally be people with higher cultivation and stronger relationships to replace his position.
So that’s how it is. This is a good thing.” Yang Kai nodded slightly, not understanding some of the intrigues in the Chamber of Commerce.”
Kang Siran smiled lightly and didn’t explain much. After all, the affairs in the Chamber of Commerce were family matters. Although his relationship with Yang Kai was not bad, there was no need to mention this.
Dong dong dong…
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside.
As soon as the knock on the door fell, without waiting for Yang Kai and Kang Siran to respond, the door was actually opened, and immediately after, a young man in brocade clothes and jade shirts walked in with a smile.
As soon as he saw this person, Kang Siran’s face instantly sank, and he frowned and said, “Gu Hong, what are you doing? Don’t you see that I’m talking about business with a guest?”
This Gu Hong is too presumptuous. He entered the private room without permission. Fortunately, it was Yang Kai sitting here. If it were someone else, Kang Siran wouldn’t know how to explain it to others. Maybe it would make people think that the confidentiality measures of the Ziyuan Chamber of Commerce are not in place, and a business would be yellow.
In the face of Kang Siran’s accountability, Gu Hong actually ignored it. He just smiled and looked at Yang Kai and said, “Friend, please. I’m Gu Hong, the branch of the Ziyuan Chamber of Commerce I don’t know how to call you, friend.
Yang Kai looked at Kang Siran and then at this Gu Hong. His eyes flickered, and he grinned and smiled, but he didn’t say a word.
Gu Hong couldn’t get a response, and his face was also embarrassed. But he still said, “I’m sorry to disturb you, friend. It’s just that Kang’s ability is insufficient. I’m afraid that if there is any big business handed over to him it will delay the big thing. So I came uninvited. Forgive me, forgive me.”
Yang Kai narrowed his eyes and said, “Manager Kang’s ability is insufficient. How can you tell?”
Gu Hong laughed and said, “It took a whole year to only conclude three deals. Isn’t this a sign of insufficient ability?”
Kang Siran’s face turned livid, and he said coldly, “If no one had meddled and blocked things I could have concluded several more deals.”
Gu Hong said, “Manager Kang there’s no need to get angry. I intervened in your business for your own good. You will be transferred away from here soon, and when that time comes, all kinds of procedures and handovers will be very troublesome. It’s better to leave it to me to handle now.”
Kang Siran snorted and said, “Then should I thank you?”
Gu Hong smiled and said, “We’re all from the same chamber of commerce. Why talk about thanking or not thanking.” His gaze shifted and he looked at Yang Kai and said, “This friend, if you really have business, I’d be willing to serve you. To be honest, Manager Kang is indeed about to be transferred away. If you have any business it would be better to talk to me. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”
Yang Kai turned his head and looked at Kang Siran and said, “To be transferred away again.”
Kang Siran let out a sigh.
Back then, being transferred away from Fenglin City was his wish. Fenglin City was too small and too barren. Continuing to stay there wouldn’t lead to a good future. But now it’s different. Fenglin City is a coveted piece of cake. Everyone wants to take a bite. How could he be willing to be transferred away? But the arm can’t twist the thigh.
Yang Kai nodded and said, “I appreciate Gu’s kindness, but Kang Manager and I are old acquaintances and have a life-and-death friendship. So I want to talk about this deal “with Kang Manager.
“So that’s how it is…” Gu Hong was stunned for a moment and then smiled, saying, “In that case, then Gu will not be a villain anymore. I take my leave!”
Yang Kai’s words made him understand that he probably couldn’t snatch this deal, so he simply didn’t waste any more time and quickly withdrew.
Soon there were only Yang Kai and Kang Siran left in the private room again.
Yang Kai said, “Brother Kang doesn’t want to leave Maple Forest City?”
Kang Siran nodded and said, “Although there are several branches in the Southern Region that can be compared with Maple Forest City, it’s not something I can get into. If I’m transferred away this time, it will be difficult to come back.”
“Understood.” Yang Kai nodded.
Kang Siran smiled and said, “It’s fate. Let’s not talk about my matter. Brother Yang, this time you come here, what do you want to trade with the Chamber of Commerce?”
Yang Kai’s expression became solemn and he said, “Void Spirit Crystals and Void Spirit Jades.”
Kang Siran stroked the beard on his chin and said, “These two things are the main materials for refining Space Rings. They are not too difficult to find. The branch has some in stock. I wonder how much Brother Yang needs?”
“How much does your branch have?” Yang Kai asked.
Kang Siran said, “Let me see.”
As he spoke, he took out a jade slip and checked it. After a while, he looked up and said, “There are almost worth 30 million middle-grade Source Crystals. If Brother Yang wants them, I can make the decision to give you a 10% discount. This is also my limit.”
“I’ll take them all.”
