C661 Looking for Trouble
"You..."
The Jinyuan Trading Company's King Elder only wanted to greet Lin Xiao and ask him what happened last time. However, Lin Xiao had put his arm around his shoulder, making them seem very familiar with each other.
Hearing the discussions of the people around him, he immediately realized that he had been tricked by Lin Xiao.
However, he had no other choice. He could only break his teeth and swallow it.
There was no other way!
It was his fault for taking the initiative to greet him!
"Brother Wang, thank you!"
Seeing Wang Elder's stunned look, Lin Xiao lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "When the election is over, I will naturally repay Brother Wang!"
Before coming here, Lin Xiao had indeed made a lot of preparations, but he hadn't targeted the Jinyuan Trading Company. To be precise, this matter could be considered an accident.
However, this was a pretty good accident!
If he could pull the Jinyuan Trading Company to his side and support him, it would be very beneficial to the Northern Firmament Trading Company. However, the opponent was after all the Jinyuan Trading Company, and it wasn't something that could be easily won over. Lin Xiao could only probe.
Wang Elder glanced at Lin Xiao, but didn't express his stance. Lin Xiao didn't try to force him. The two of them exchanged a few more words before separating.
Soon, they arrived at a big room on the seventh floor of the Merchant Union building.
There was a very large round table here. There were nine chairs around the round table, and forty-nine chairs were placed on the periphery. It was for the three large trading companies, ten Medium-Sized Trading Company, and thirty-six small trading companies' presidents.
At this moment, nine old men with somewhat white hair walked out. The nine of them were the nine Great Elders of the Merchant Union. Everything in the Merchant Union was decided by them!
All nine of them came from the top ten sects, and they happened to come from the other nine sects besides the Treasure Pavilion.
These nine Elders were all Major Golden Immortals of the Ninth Level or Peak warriors, but because they were too old and only had a cultivation base but no combat strength, they were sent to the Merchant Union for retirement.
Of course, in the Merchant Union, there was enough profit, and it was also a contribution to their respective sects. Therefore, these nine Great Elders were all willing to come here and contribute to the development of the Merchant Union.
The division of these three tiers of trading companies was also done by these nine Great Elders.
Today's Merchant Union selection, The reason was to choose a small trading company to replace the Medium-Sized Trading Company after the elimination of the Monarch Valley.
"Everyone, since we have already come here, let's not talk anymore. Today's purpose is to choose a new Medium-Sized Trading Company. Let's follow the rules of the past. There will be a total of three rounds. The trading company with the highest score will be selected."
After everyone had arrived, a white-haired old man spoke.
Perhaps in the eyes of the others, this matter was very important. But to them, it was just a routine. They didn't care about the quota of the Medium-Sized Trading Company.
Sweeping his gaze across the crowd, the white-haired old man who had just spoken continued, "Next, please come out from the small trading company that wants to run for the election."
In theory, every small trading company had the qualifications to run for the Medium-Sized Trading Company.
However, if that was the case, then the 36 small trading companies would definitely give it a try. This undoubtedly increased their workload. Hence, the Nine Great Elder set a threshold.
If they wanted to run for Medium-Sized Trading Company, they would have to pay 10 billion election fees. Moreover, once the election failed, these fees would never be able to be taken back.
Hence, small trading companies that were not confident would not participate in the election as they wished.
After all, this was 10 billion High-Grade Spirit Stones!
To these small trading companies, the sales volume of Main City, like Vermillion Bird City, was around 10 billion a year. If talking about profits, it would only be even less.
Even if all the branches added up, the profits in a year would not be too much. After all, the money they earned had to be paid as tribute. What was truly in their pockets was not said much.
Hence, the threshold fee of ten billion High-Grade Spirit Stones was still somewhat high for small trading companies.
Many small trading companies directly chose to give up after seeing this threshold. They sat by the side in dejection, waiting for the other small trading companies to make a decision.
At this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Our Yu Man Lou Trading Company is on the move!"
A month ago, if they were to discuss this trading company's selection, the Yu Man Lou Trading Company was absolutely the most popular candidate. Although they were a small trading company, due to their proper management, their scale and strength were not inferior to the ordinary Medium-Sized Trading Company. Furthermore, they also had the shadow of the Medicine Sect behind them. Wanting to compete for the Medium-Sized Trading Company was still quite promising!
Although the Medicine Sect already had a Medicine King Trading Company, who stipulated that a major power could only support one trading company?
Furthermore, in the life and death battle, the Medicine Sect defeated Sword Sect, causing the Medicine Sect's strength to increase quite a bit. This ambition also swelled along with it.
Arranging a Medium-Sized Trading Company was also a piece of cake.
Furthermore, the Medicine King Trading Company was a large trading company. The Yu Man Lou was fighting for the Medium-Sized Trading Company, so it would not have much of an impact on the Medicine King Trading Company. The Medicine King Trading Company could also support it without worry.
The foundation of the company was not bad, and it also had the support of the Medicine King Trading Company and the Medicine Sect. It was reasonable for the Yu Man Lou trading company to be favored by others.
But in this one month's time, Lin Xiao and his Northern Firmament Trading Company emerged, filling this election with suspense once again.
"Our Northern Firmament Trading Company will participate as well."
At this time, Lin Xiao also stood out.
After Lin Xiao's investigation, he found out that this Yu Man Lou Trading Company would be his biggest competitor if nothing unexpected happened. Therefore, after the Yu Man Lou Trading Company stood out, Lin Xiao stood out without showing any signs of weakness.
After Lin Xiao handed over ten billion High-Grade Spirit Stones, the word 'accurate' from the white-haired old man came out.
After waiting for a moment, the white-haired old man swept his gaze around and continued to ask, "Is there any trading company that wants to join the selection? If there is, please hurry up! "
After all, if there was a competitor, the Merchant Union would have an additional 10 billion.
The white-haired old man still hoped that other small trading companies would participate, so he did not hesitate to wait for a while.
However, under the powerful situation of Yu Man Lou and Northern Firmament Trading Company, the other trading companies were not stupid. They would not spend the money for nothing.
Just as the elders of the Merchant Union were about to give up, a young man suddenly walked up. His eyes were filled with confidence. He smiled lightly and took out 10 billion High-Grade Spirit Stones. As if he had come up with an idea at the last minute, he said with a smile, "Let's give it a try, Azure Workshop!"
