Daoist Liyue, I live in the Hall of Rebirth!

Hu Tao leaned her head on Shen Ming's shoulder.

She is actually a smart person, even if Shen Ming doesn't say anything, she can vaguely feel something, and understands his desire to continue to deepen the relationship.

It's just... It's too embarrassing for a child or something. Just talking about Hutao makes her face burn. She is not ready for this.

When Shen Ming almost clarified the matter directly in a joking way, Hu Tao was indeed extremely nervous, even to the point where she didn't know how to deal with it.

Don't come down, you have to use one lie to cover up another lie, come down...

It's really a problem when it comes down. Hey!

So when Shen Ming gave up and continued to ask, Hu Tao was very grateful, although it was very embarrassing to have his inner activities completely seen through.

However, Hu Tao was still a little bit dissatisfied, that is, once Shen Ming found out that something was wrong, he restrained himself too quickly, and he was still immersed in his intimacy, so he immediately withdrew in the next second without giving him any chance to buffer.

It can only be said that neither of them is perfect and neither has experience.

Thinking of this, Hu Tao became more and more angry, and punched Shen Ming's chest hard.

"What's the matter?" Shen Ming was enjoying the fragrance between the walnut's hair and skin, but suddenly his chest was thumped, and he almost lost his breath.

"It's nothing, I'm complimenting you." Hu Tao said angrily.

"Is there such a compliment?" Shen Ming rubbed his chest.

Seeing this situation, Hu Tao hesitated for a moment, threw away Shen Ming's own hand, and rubbed it against Shen Ming's hand, "Yes, I praise you for being sensible, calm, calm, decisive, and not overbearing at all."

"I won't overstep a little bit when I get excited."

"Ahem, although I have so many advantages, I am still a young man after all." Shen Ming raised his eyebrows and coughed a few times, "Since I am a young man, I will naturally get excited sometimes."

"Are you so excited that you can't control yourself?" Hu Tao looked suspiciously.

"Yes, I will. Little Walnut is so cute, I am very excited now, please allow me to presume a little bit."

"You, what are you going to do?" Hu Tao was nervous, "I, I tell you, don't go too far!"

Under Shen Ming's slow and careful gaze, Hu Tao's body was numb and writhed slightly uneasily.

She quietly squeezed a very small gap between her thumb and index finger.

"That's right, I can only overstep a little bit."

"I understand, I understand, just a little bit, do you need a full body massage?" Shen Ming said with a happy face.

"No!!" Walnut shielded his chest.

"No, no, you misunderstood my meaning." Shen Ming stabilized Hu Tao's shoulders, "Sometimes a full-body massage doesn't necessarily require the whole body. For example, if there is nothing wrong with other parts, you can ignore it."

"But there are places where I feel that you are not healthy."

"Ahem, I mean, are your feet cold?" Shen Ming asked sincerely.

Well, I have a showdown, I am the foot control.

Hu Tao's eyes wandered, "A little bit."

Shen Ming's hand gradually slid down from Hu Tao's shoulders close to the pajamas, along his arms to his knees, calves, and finally held Hu Tao's cute little feet.

Two hands, one in each hand, got formal permission this time, that Shen Ming was really unscrupulous, to use two words to describe it is called - play.

From the soles of the feet to the tops of the feet, the toes are the most important points, every touch, ah bah!It's a massage, every massage is close to the skin, and the difference in temperature between the feet and the palm makes this sensory stimulation more intense.

Again, this is a massage and nothing to be ashamed of.

Because it was a massage, Shen Ming was extremely careful and serious in the spirit of professionalism, and because of the massage, Walnut also cooperated very well.

Isn't it common sense that massage requires cooperation?Right.

For example, when Shen Ming needs to massage his toes repeatedly and carefully, Hu Tao will slightly open the toes to facilitate Shen Ming's fingers to pass through.

The skin of the walnut is delicate, and there are no calluses on Shen Ming's hands. The silky touch brings physical enjoyment, while Shen Ming's serious attitude and walnut's cooperative posture bring spiritual enjoyment.

It's mutual, not just one person's pleasure.

Important thing to say again, it's a massage, so no shame.

Chapter 190 Conversation with Head Qin

The next day, sure enough, a West Wind Knight came to Shen Ming and Hu Tao's house to invite them.

Zephyr Knights, Qin's office.

"Thank you for coming, I'm sorry I was too busy to invite you in person." Qin rubbed her temples and said.

"You are too polite. We are just tourists, and not a formal meeting at the official level." Shen Ming said sincerely.

"Besides, even if it's really an official meeting, it shouldn't be us."

"Etiquette is very important in the way of hospitality." Qin said seriously, but then smiled helplessly, "But I am not qualified to talk about etiquette now, I just finished processing a batch of documents... ...."

"Mond suffered two disasters, we can all understand." Shen Ming said.

To be honest, although Liyue was also damaged to varying degrees, she was much stronger than Mond.

"Speaking of this, the two of you were here for a trip, but now... I'm sorry for letting you see Mond in his worst state." Qin put down her pen and said with a sigh.

"I heard that the two are quite influential in Liyue, and both of them have seen Mond's dilemma, so can I ask, does Liyue have any plans to increase trade with Mond?"

It is said to be a trade plan, but in fact it is basically the same as aid. As a grain-producing country, Mond can best sell various crops and bulk foods.

However, due to the dragon disaster and successive meteorite rains, Mond's food and crop production will inevitably decline further in the future, which greatly reduces Mond's international trading capital. However, in order to restore Mond's production capacity as soon as possible, West Wind The Knights had to find ways to collect as much supplies as possible.

If some unconventional means are not used, then international aid is actually an option.

However, international aid is not so easy to get. It must be ensured that Mond will not fall too far behind Liyue in terms of trading status. Once the aid cannot be guaranteed at a reasonable price, Mond will be robbed by Liyue's merchants A lot of wealth, this is the same for other countries.

Qin has been struggling with this problem in the past few months. The main business area of ​​Goethe Real Estate is within the boundary of Mond, so the one who can fight for equal status in trade for Mond can only rely on Chenxi Winery and its related industries. It is one of the few multinational traders in Mond, and it is still mainly engaged in Liyue and Mond.

But relying on this alone is not enough. The industry under Tianquan Ningguang alone can directly equalize Mond's wine industry, and even surpass it by a lot. How can we compete for the right to speak.

This matter has been bothering Qin, but the arrival of Shen Ming and Hu Tao made her see some possibilities.

It's not that it's impossible to win them over, and she, Qin, wouldn't do such a thing that loses points, but if it's just an exchange of information, it can still be won.

Sometimes, if you know Liyue Qixing's attitude towards Mond's trade in the next few years, then a red line can be easily drawn during the negotiation, so as to gain more confidence for the trade negotiation.

When negotiating, once you know the opponent's true intentions and attitudes, even the bottom line, it will definitely be of great help to the negotiation.

Shen Ming was also thinking. Although he personally admired Qin, he sometimes had to consider his position.

He and Hu Tao are both from Liyue, so it is natural to consider it from Liyue's standpoint, but to be honest, the current Liyue is mostly watching Ningguang's performances in terms of trade.

Considering the trade between the two countries from the standpoint of Liyue, in most cases, it is actually considering from the standpoint of Ningguang.

Now Liyue should still be negotiating with the fools, and the wrangling about the conflict between Liyue and Zhidong should be basically over. After all, the benefits have been delivered, so there is no need to drag it on.

So what we are still talking about now should be the food problem after the dragon disaster. This has to be solved. The terrain of Liyue is not a good place to farm and grow food. It used to be possible to return to Liyuan, but now you can return to Liyuan. What has become of it.

Liyue itself has very limited grain production, and even hoards it as a strategic resource. A considerable part of the usual grain has to be imported. Under such circumstances, if Mond's grain production decreases, Liyue, a grain importing country, will definitely be affected. , this impact will further increase with the deterioration of Mond's production capacity.

Shen Ming doesn't know if Mond's slump is allowed to cause a worldwide economic crisis, but Liyue will definitely suffer a real impact, so it must be resolved in time before Mond's matter escalates.

And Liyue's large-scale commercial activities definitely cannot avoid Ningguang, but now Ningguang's attitude is a bit intriguing.

Ningguang must want to resolve this incident, she can tell right from wrong, but she is still procrastinating, even dragging Liyue's top businessmen along with her.

Everyone is waiting, Liyue's other businessmen are waiting for Ningguang's actions, business miracles time after time have established Ningguang's industry status, they are willing to wait.

If Ningguang is willing to talk, then everyone will follow the idiots. It just so happens that there are many idiots in this meteor shower, and they can talk for a while.

So here comes the question, Liyue's wealthy merchants are waiting for Ningguang, so what is Ningguang waiting for?

Shen Ming had already vaguely guessed the answer in his heart, and Shen Ming believed that Liyue's wealthy merchants also knew the answer and even participated in it.

Looking at the reactions of Liyue's small and medium-sized businessmen, one can understand why Ningguang procrastinated the negotiation. According to the "information" she released, Liyue and Zhidong are currently discussing the issue of assistance to Mond.

Once the negotiation breaks down, Mond's problem will not be resolved in a short period of time. Without Zhidong's industrial strength, Liyue alone cannot restore Mond's production capacity in a short period of time. According to Ningguang's theory, This will cause a worldwide food crisis, and if the food crisis is not resolved for a long time, it will lead to a worldwide economic crisis.

At that time, the prices of things related to food and crops are bound to increase a lot, and the prices cannot go down, especially Ningguang also listed daily necessities on the "must increase" list.

After such a combination of punches, the small and medium-sized businessmen below were directly limped, and started hoarding months in advance, counting on the increase in food prices to make a fortune.

Hey, at that time, Ningguang suddenly said that the negotiation was successful, and the cooperation with the Fools will proceed as scheduled. These small and medium-sized businessmen who spend a lot of money to hoard goods may collapse immediately.

This is the time for Ningguang and the major merchants to make a move, buying a large number of goods from small and medium merchants at extremely low prices.

Do not sell?If you don't sell it, you will go bankrupt. You have hoarded so many things in a frenzy, no one can eat them except the top businessmen.

Then use a large number of these bulky items that were mopped up to trade with the Winter Kingdom to support Mond's industrial resources. Although everyone is buying goods from small and medium-sized merchants at extremely low prices, the food price has not collapsed at this time. In exchange for a large amount of resources from fools, and using these low-cost resources to go to Mond in the name of international aid in exchange for wealth, a classic business operation is completed in this way.

Chapter 190 Whoever Starts the Second Will Say Goodbye

Now that he understands Ningguang's thinking, the rest is how to tell Qin and how much to tell.

Assistance will definitely be aided. With Ningguang's ability to distinguish between right and wrong, it is impossible to make Mond's problem irreparable.

Although she doesn't disrespect gods like Keqing, she also advocates solving problems by herself, instead of asking God for a problem.

"Captain Qin, what I can tell you is that Liyue's assistance to Mond is imperative, and this will not change."

Shen Ming's words completely relieved Qin's worry.

As long as there is assistance, and you are not in a situation of isolation and helplessness, then you can achieve the desired result with your own efforts.

"However, there is another piece of information that Zhidong Kingdom will also come." Shen Ming said again.

Jean frowned.

The Fools have long been notorious in the entire Tivat. If they are really asked to help, they will definitely use this name to carry out economic and financial aggression.

However, we can't stop them from coming. If we don't come to Mond, there are no raw materials for construction. Although Liyue has a large number of mines and ores, its efficiency in large-scale production is obviously not as good as that of Zhidong Country, which has a large number of factories. The method is to quickly convert ore into directly usable resources.

Qin sighed, there was no way, who would let Mond ask for anything.

"Come on, come on, we will be ready, and thank you very much for the information."

"No, we just said what should and can be said." Shen Ming smiled with a sigh, he felt helpless for Qin's politeness.

"Then... in terms of price..." Qin asked tentatively.

"Sorry, I don't know about this either." Shen Ming spread his hands.

Don't say that he really didn't know, even if he knew, he couldn't say it. This was related to Ning Guang's practical interests, and it was also related to the interests of most of Liyue's top businessmen, so he couldn't just talk nonsense.

"I overstepped." Qin pursed her lips.

"I really don't know." Shen Ming shrugged innocently, "But as far as I know, the current Liyue Seven Stars are negotiating with the Fools, discussing specific cooperation matters."

"However, because of what the Fools did in Liyue, this process is quite difficult and has been stuck for a long time. It just so happens that there are also many Fools in the meteorite rain this time, and it will probably take another while. "

"If you have the energy, you can start with this negotiation and see if you can get any information."

"However, if you want to investigate something, you have to hurry up, because whether it's Liyue or Zhidong, they all intend to delay you."

Shen Ming has already said almost everything that can be said, and the rest are some irrelevant questions.

During this process, Kaiya stood quietly behind Qin, acting as a spectator, while the Zephyr Knight outside the door stood guard with serious eyes.

......

"Thank you two for clarifying the confusion, I now somewhat understand what to do." Standing at the door of the Knights' office building, Qin sincerely said to Shen Ming and Hu Tao.

Shen Ming and Hu Tao smiled and waved their hands.

"Amber, go see the two of you off." Qin said to Amber who rushed over temporarily.

"Alright Captain Qin." Amber smiled cheerfully.

Originally, the two planned to leave tomorrow, but it seemed that they didn't need to pack anything, so there was no need to wait another day.

The keys have been handed back to Grandpa Goethe and everything is ready.

"Are you two enjoying your journey in Mond?" Amber talked and laughed along the way.

"It's very good. It's a very novel experience. If there is a chance in the future, I will come again!" Hu Tao nodded with satisfaction.

"Actually, you guys came at a really bad time." Amber said with a self-mockery, "it just happened to catch up with Mond's least beautiful time."

"Amber?" Walnut looked worriedly.

"Sorry, I lost my composure, please forget what I said just now!" Amber shook his head, and put a smile on his face again, "You can come and play next time at the Wind Flower Festival."

"That's the specialty of our Mond! It will definitely make you linger!"
