Dragon's Origin

“I asked the same question.” Seeing Wang Sheng’s reaction mirroring her own, Mei’er seemed quite pleased.

“What did they say?” Wang Sheng inquired.

Truthfully, Wang Sheng had never anticipated that so many major account managers from various principalities would unite to pressure Mei’er. It's only now dawning on him that this Spirit Soul World isn't like Earth, where there's at least the pretense of normal business competition.

Seeing Mei’er making such enormous profits, many people became envious. Especially since Mei’er’s businesses were all in cooperation with the royal family, with the royal family taking a share. So much gold, just watching it flow into the Changsheng Duke’s mansion and the royal family, naturally made those forces not affiliated with the royal family green with envy.

“Unless our new business involves cooperation with them.” Mei’er’s one sentence revealed the essence of the whole matter. In short, everyone was jealous and wanted a piece of the pie.

The original businesses were impossible to get involved in, so everyone wanted to get a piece of Wang Sheng’s new business. The idea was quite simple, and the approach was straightforward and crude. The question was, would Wang Sheng agree?

“Are there any other conditions?” Wang Sheng asked again.

“In short, no.” Mei’er replied with a smile, “However, during our discussions, various parties secretly sent letters to the mansion, suggesting that we cooperate with them individually. As long as it’s on their territory, there would be no trouble at all.”

“They want us to do business on their territory and make money for them!” Wang Sheng nodded. In fact, everything is business, everything is about profit, what else could it be?

“Dream on.” Mei’er snorted coldly.

“It’s not just dreaming, they’ve already taken action.” Wang Sheng said to Mei’er with a smile.

“I didn’t agree.” Mei’er pouted, saying proudly, “If I don’t agree, who can succeed?”

“That’s right, my Mei’er is the most capable businesswoman in the world.” Wang Sheng praised Mei’er, making her beam with joy.

“They don’t have the ability to block whatever business we want to do in the capital, do they?” Wang Sheng asked after laughing.

“Naturally, they can’t say anything.” Mei’er said disdainfully, but immediately became serious, “But they said that if we don’t agree, we might have problems sourcing raw materials from various places in the future.”

Qiansheng Yuan needs stones, wood, straw, and even animal hair from various places for its stationery, which certainly cannot be satisfied by the capital alone.

Runzi Workshop is the same, a large number of cosmetics need a large number of raw materials. Although those guys can't figure out the core materials and core technology, if they cut off the raw materials, Runzi Workshop might have to stop production.

Mengzhi Workshop is even more so, the raw materials for fur, fabrics, and accessories from various places cannot be provided by the capital alone. All of them are purchased nationwide, even if the quantity is not large, it would be a considerable trouble if they are really cut off.

These guys probably saw this, so they wanted to force Mei’er to agree to their conditions, of course, the ultimate goal was to cooperate with Wang Sheng to make money.

“What if we don’t start any new businesses from now on?” Wang Sheng asked indifferently. Isn’t it just not allowing new businesses to be opened? Aren’t these few businesses on hand enough to make money?

“Then whatever, everything remains the same.” Mei’er clearly understood the intentions of those guys. They also knew that they couldn’t interfere with the old businesses, and didn’t even bother with them.

“Then tell them that except for your stone materials and businesses related to real estate in the capital, we won’t open any other businesses.” Wang Sheng sneered, “Are we afraid of being poor with tens of billions of gold coins in business in the next few years?”

“I’ve already told them.” Who is Mei’er, could she be taken advantage of by those people who temporarily united? The business that was already prepared, you say not to open it, what good are you thinking?

“They agreed?” Wang Sheng asked.

“Of course!” Mei’er replied triumphantly, “Otherwise, would each of their families still want the core map of the Thousand Absolutes Land? Would they still want to enter the Thousand Absolutes Land in the future?”

Wang Sheng nodded slightly. This was a matter of mutual manipulation. Those guys had the raw materials that he needed, but Wang Sheng also controlled the entry and exit of the Thousand Absolutes Land, so those guys didn’t dare to go too far.

“Then slowly do real estate in the capital.” Wang Sheng said, “Anyway, this thing has the least technical content, you do it a few times and they will understand, and they can learn to do it on their own territory in the future. Your energy will probably be involved in this, so don’t open new businesses.”

“They can understand too?” Mei’er pondered for a moment, then her eyes rolled, “Tomorrow I will talk to them again and give them a live performance of making big money to see what benefits they can offer.”

Wang Sheng was speechless when he heard this. As expected of Mei’er, she could think of anything.

The following matters Wang Sheng didn't care much about, and continued his carving. The work has reached the final stage, which is also the most careful stage. A little distraction will lead to disastrous consequences. Wang Sheng's carving speed has also slowed down a lot these days, and he really doesn't want to be distracted by these trivial matters.

Of course, only Wang Sheng would not care about this kind of thing. If it were someone else, even the emperor, I am afraid that he would be furious. A business of hundreds of millions of gold coins a year, you say not to open it, why? It is estimated that countless enemies can be erected because of this.

Wang Sheng is now focusing on attacking the Grand Master, and the other is slowly waiting for the arrival of the Xia family's one-year opportunity, and the real destination is the inner circle of the Thousand Absolutes Land. Making money and running a business are actually just to build a foundation for Mei'er's future life, and to create a force that Wang Sheng can rest assured to protect Mei'er.

There are already these solid businesses, and it is not like starting from scratch with nothing. Is Wang Sheng afraid of those people tossing around? Moreover, at most half a year, the various parties will have to fight back and forth, and Wang Sheng didn't want to toss any new business at all.

But these guys really can think of it, and actually add obstacles to people in this despicable way. If possible, Wang Sheng doesn't mind letting them know what economic warfare is. The Xia family has already been played to death by the Divine Might Prison, are there any other families interested?

The next night, Wang Sheng finally learned the results of Mei'er's negotiations with those guys during dinner.

“They compromised, and we can open new businesses in the future.” The unpleasant expression on Mei’er’s face was very obvious, “But we can’t do a specific business, we can only do businesses like pawnshops and lending.”
