Original God, but the real world

Chapter 82 81-Here it comes
If we follow the main storyline and wait for Ying's steps, this will be a relatively long time.

However, Jiang Qing was not interested in the main storyline.

In the game's plot, at least in the first two versions, there is nothing to intervene.

Mondstadt needs to use Ying's special ability to purify poisonous blood, and Liyue is simply the stage prepared for Ying.

Calculating the time from the time she started searching for the immortal, if a funeral ceremony was to be performed, [Immortal Ancestor's Transformation] would have been set up by now.

As a result, the remains were delayed until the end of the story and were still placed in the [Golden House].

This may not be Ying's stage, but it must be the script preset by Morax.

As a god, He has already written the story and we only need to perform it according to His script. There is no need for any self-creation.

So Jiang Qing never expected Ying.

He thought that maybe there would be a chance to work with Ying in the future, but definitely not now.

Now she is the absolute protagonist.

Jiang Qing originally thought that he might meet the Fatui again, but in the end they seemed to be carrying out other plans and had no time to pay attention to Jiang Qing.

This is a good thing.

Jiang Qing had no intention of investigating the actions of the Fatui.

He has his own plans to take care of, so naturally he doesn't care much about what others are doing.

The plan is not complicated.

If you follow the steps and find one or two people, they will take the initiative to look for partners to win over.

So the first person is very important.

As for this first person, Jiang Qing had naturally been prepared for a long time.

He and Xingqiu had a verbal agreement to cooperate with each other with the help of the knowledge in Eula's hands.

Jiang Qing cooperated with Hu Tao at that time because he had long been eyeing Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

"So you have to come." Jiang Qing explained, "You are the one who cooperates with them, you have to come in person to discuss the profit sharing, right?"

Eula actually has a lot of good people at hand.

Those descendants of Lawrence with the same surname are the carefully selected elites who are qualified to survive - this statement may be too cruel, but for a family whose survival has become a problem, they have to face reality.

But given Lawrence's current size, Eula must come forward in person when talking to Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

This is to show respect to the other person.

It doesn’t matter what you think in your heart, but that’s how you will behave.

This is exactly the kind of education Eula received.

She received an orthodox aristocratic education, and she knew exactly how to behave regardless of the other person's status.

And Eula herself didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, she had long accepted the identity of a fallen noble.

Even in Mond, when she wanted to negotiate with others, they would not accept it.

The Monds will only offer a price. If you are willing to accept it, then accept it. If not, forget it.

"I won't ask any more questions."

Eula was almost able to accept it.

"You have to be careful." She said with a bit of grievance, "Lawrence is too deeply bound to you now. Before you do anything, think about us."

She came with the intention of reviving her family.

But judging from Jiang Qing's attitude, he might be here for the sake of family happiness.

Too risky.

"For the last time." Jiang Qing made a promise very sincerely, "I swear."

If it's about taking advantage of Eula's mind, then it's definitely possible.

But if it was just for use, then Eula would not have reminded him to be careful, but would have directly chopped him with a knife.

Jiang Qing considered this kind of small complaint, but not much.

"I can only trust you."

Eula sighed.

"When we first met, I always felt that you were very cautious."

"Why do people change so much after returning to Liyue?"

The Eye of God wouldn't change so much, right?
"Because the environment in Mondstadt is a bit bad, right?" Jiang Qing replied, "I believe in Jean, but in Mondstadt, even the Knights themselves can't withstand the Fatui's tactics."

"And not everyone in the Knights Order is as reasonable as Jean."

"I'm afraid of death, so I'm cautious."

Being afraid of death is not something shameful, and Jiang Qing certainly doesn't mind admitting it.

"The environment in Liyue isn't that much better, is it?"

Eula disagrees.

Her understanding of Liyue comes from the sudden changes during this period.

First there was the death of Morax, and then there was the confrontation between the Immortals and the Seven Stars.

In the past, Eula had many expectations for this country, but after being here for some time, she has become accustomed to all kinds of bizarre things.

The expectations for Liyue were gradually dissipated by these unexpected events.

No matter how good the description in the book is, it can't compare to the accident you see with your own eyes.

This is not the norm in Liyue, but what Eula encountered were just these abnormal events.

"Liyue's environment is better than Mondstadt's."

Of course Jiang Qing had to argue.

"To the outside world, the actions of the Fatui here are not rampant enough. Even if the Emperor is away, the deterrence of the Immortals and the Seven Stars is enough to suppress the Fatui."

"Internally, the arrogance of the immortals does not allow them to take action against ordinary people. This sensitive moment also prohibits the Seven Stars from taking action."

It doesn’t mean you can’t kill.

With Jiang Qing's current strength, Qixing can definitely kill him if he is determined... but what's the point?

If you take action, it will definitely leave traces.

Jiang Qing has said everything he could say, and now it’s time to kill him. He has said everything.

"Despicable." Eula snorted, "Taking advantage of Liyue's strength and promoting conflicts in Liyue."

"I don't deny that it has promoted conflict, but this matter may not bring trouble to Liyue."

Jiang Qing refused to accept such a bad evaluation. "Unless I caused the conflict and caused Liyue to weaken, I cannot accept such an evaluation."

They won’t really fight.

Everyone is afraid of being serious now.

The immortal was afraid that Qixing would never let go, and Qixing was afraid that the immortal would really plow the land.

After all, their dispute is not a fight between life and death. Everyone is just exchanging words. If you are sincere and I am okay with it, the matter will be over.

Originally, Qixing was sincere and said, "Okay, immortal, please do as you please."

Now it’s just a change of identity. Let Qixing say it, okay.

If this led to Liyue's decline, Jiang Qing felt that the blame was too big.

He doesn't want to carry it.

If it weren't for this kind of environment, Jiang Qing wouldn't have been able to make such a big investment with a small investment.

He is willing to take risks because he knows the possibility of something going wrong is very small.

Eula didn't argue with him.

Jiang Qing is quite talented when it comes to reasoning.

"So what you need to do next is to try to communicate with Feiyun Chamber of Commerce while discussing my business deal."

Eula understood the objective of her mission.

"Okay, I'm just providing cover."

When it comes to being honest, Jiang Qing always does a great job.

He will not tell everyone his purpose, but if he needs help from others, he will also tell them the cause and effect of the matter and the extent of the help needed.

Jiang Qing couldn't understand why he was so secretive when seeking help.

"Thank you for your help." Jiang Qing said.

He still trusts Eula's professionalism in this area.

She may not have much practical experience, but she has definitely learned it, and learned it well.

·······
Xingqiu was a little panicked.

He did have contact with Jiang Qing at that time.

Following his father's request, he contacted his friend Hu Tao, hoping that she could help introduce him to Mr. Jiang Qing, who was said to be valued by Yuhengxing.

Feiyun Chamber of Commerce did not align itself with any party before.

In Liyue, under the special circumstances where the Seven Stars control a considerable amount of Chamber of Commerce power, officials from the Seven Stars and Eight Gates do not prohibit direct business.

Seriously speaking, if it weren't for the old man's powerful prestige, no one would dare to break the law in front of him. This one point alone would be enough to turn all the sects into a sieve.

The Seven Stars are the biggest businessmen, from top to bottom. If they were not afraid of gods, one can imagine the state of the Seven Stars and Eight Gates.

The purpose of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is to do business, and it will give face to Qixing. After all, harmony brings wealth.

But they are not particularly afraid of the Seven Stars.

Given the size of the Chamber of Commerce, if the Seven Stars were to attack the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, the commotion would surely alarm the Emperor.

They don't make any mistakes themselves, so they don't have to worry about the Seven Stars.

But times have changed.

After the Emperor died, the rules of many things changed.

For example...will the power in the hands of the Seven Stars really be interfered with?

In Liyue, no one needs to fear the powerful.

In other words, the more people are able to grasp power, the more they understand that the real power lies above their heads.

If they dare to do something bad, someone will dare to smash their heads.

This kind of powerful power that ignores identity and value and controls life and death intimidates everyone to be obedient and sensible.

But the president of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce has also done business in other places.

This is the case in Liyue, but it may not be the case in other places.

He knew very well what the final outcome would be if power was in the hands of humans.

So he chose to ask Qixing about his attitude.

I didn’t favor any side before, in order to do business for everyone.

But times have changed...Feiyun Chamber of Commerce may need a backer.

Xingqiu couldn't refuse his father.

This is a major matter concerning the survival of the family. He may not be interested in business, but he must compromise in front of the family.

"Every penny you spend on martial arts training and every bit of leisure time you have come from the support of your family."

"I don't ask you to contribute everything for the family, but you know what to do."

Family cultivation is not free.

If you get something, you have to consider giving back. This is the core of the family.

Xingqiu thought the story ended there, but he didn't expect that Jiang Qing submitted his visiting card not long ago, and his father actually handed the matter over to him to handle - it was obvious that the eldest brother was more suitable.

The second young master took a deep breath and regained his composure.

He didn't know what Jiang Qing wanted to say, but he firmly believed that his father was listening somewhere.

Xingqiu is not the one who makes the decisions; in a way, he is just a mouthpiece.

The reason why he came forward was, firstly, because the difference in status between his father and the other party was not worth his initiative to show up, and secondly... if there was something wrong with the conversation, the president could also treat it as idle chat among the younger generations and get away with it at a small price.

There are two different prices to pay for direct involvement and for your son to be accidentally bewitched.

"I apologize for any inconvenience caused by your coming to my house."

Jiang Qing pushed the door open and walked in.

Xingqiu's expression was complicated. "Well, Brother Jiang, you've been quite popular recently."

If I had known this earlier, I would have asked Yuhengxing directly.

At least Keqing is a normal person.

"It's just luck." Jiang Qing waved his hand. "Actually, I'm a timid person and don't want to get involved in such a storm."

He smiled bitterly, his attitude serious.

Youla curled her lips but didn't spoil the show.

To some extent, Jiang Qing's behavior has always been difficult to understand.

"My partner always has good luck."

Starting from Mond, although he seemed to have done nothing in Mond, he was favored by Jean.

Even now, this friendship is still valuable.

And in Liyue, an "ordinary person" who had just obtained the Eye of God and had a lower-middle social status was planning to intervene in the chess game between the Seven Stars and the Immortals.

It’s no exaggeration to say that I’m lucky.

If you want to win a big prize with a small investment, you will always need a bit of luck.

"Let's talk frankly." Eula said with a dignified look, "You also know that Lawrence is in a very bad situation now. We need to convert this [knowledge] into wealth as soon as possible."

Of course it cannot be converted into power.

Nowadays, the people of Liyue are all striving for advancement. As an outsider who has just obtained the identity of Liyue, Lawrence actually does nothing appropriate.

Even if he fails to make money, people will think that he is taking advantage of the opportunity to snatch Liyue's Mora.

So we must cooperate with Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

Sometimes cooperation is for the purpose of obtaining access to channels or raw materials, and sometimes it is simply protection fees.

And what Eula has to compromise on is both.

"I have enough [knowledge] in my hands to hand these over to you for testing and to determine their specific value."

"But because Lawrence fled Mond, we have no channels to collect raw materials, no processing equipment, and no sufficient channels for marketing."

“That is to say, apart from [knowledge], we have almost nothing.”

Can you talk business, my friend?
Xingqiu was greatly shocked.

Even though he didn't care much about the family business, he knew very well that when businessmen talk, they usually talk about what they can do, not what they can't do.

This way you can ask for a high price and pay back the money you pay.

When you open your mouth, it means I can't do it and I need your help... Aren't you afraid of being forced to lower the price?

"Ah, that's nothing."

Xingqiu had no interest in such bargains. "Feiyun Chamber of Commerce has many businesses, some of which are not very profitable. If we can replace these businesses with finished products of higher value, the family will not refuse."

The cost of raw materials + machinery start-up + equipment purchase is definitely much less than the price of the finished product.

In the pharmaceutical industry, the actual value of a drug must be several times or even dozens of times higher than the cost price. The key factors involved are technical costs and Party A's own considerations.

Research and development of technology requires upfront capital investment, and once the technology matures, it will naturally be put into production.

When the initial capital is equalized by profits, real profits will naturally begin to appear.

Feiyun Chamber of Commerce skipped the pre-technical stage and started making profits directly.

This part of the cost was paid by Eula's ancestors. It is hard to say how they got the technology, but the [knowledge] is in Eula's mind anyway.

The price is that Feiyun Chamber of Commerce has to share the profits with Eula.

Eula has nothing but technology, so she has to accept the fact of profit sharing.

This is an easy collaboration for both parties.

This is why the president wants to get close to one of the Seven Stars.

In fact, why should they give Eula any price?

Anyway, Eula has nothing now but technology.

They are fully capable of taking advantage of the situation and giving out small profits without having to pay any fees.

But in the same way, Eula is now powerless to resist them, and they are in the same position in front of the Seven Stars.

That's the value of rules.

People are often taught that ordinary people need the protection of rules, otherwise powerful people can destroy their lives.

But this is often not the case.

The problem Xiangling faces is the answer to this question.

The ones who make the rules for the culinary industry are the leaders of this industry. If the rules they make are not for protecting their interests, then are they for more ordinary people?

Rules are not there to protect, but to maintain.

When everything becomes chaos, the ones who suffer the most are definitely not ordinary people.

Because they don't have much, or even nothing, they have nothing to lose.

The richer and more powerful people are, the more they desire order and stability.

The death of Morax has shaken the order, and until the shake ends, this is a time of chaos.

If wealth is not backed up by military force, it is nothing more than a granary for some people.

"That's great." Eula said calmly, "Then please take a look at these things."

She gave a general description of [the technology].

"Feiyun Chamber of Commerce can estimate the value of these things and then quote a suitable price."

Buyout or profit sharing.

Eula prefers the latter.

It’s not because of long-term profits, but because they hope to have access to Feiyun Chamber of Commerce’s channels.

She has many skills at her disposal, but she only uses the most "ordinary" ones.

"You'll need to wait a moment." Xingqiu clapped his hands. "The Chamber of Commerce has someone special to assess the value of these things."

"These things still need to be evaluated by professionals."

This is just a rough description of the materials needed and the effect of the finished product. The specific details are certainly not something that can be continued on a few pages.

Eula didn't care.

Xingqiu had no intention of taking advantage of this.

Eula definitely has more knowledge than this, but now she needs to accumulate the corresponding chips so that she can prepare for the future.

In the same exchange, the more she can do, the less benefit she can naturally share with others.

Now is the time to use money to replace the foundation.

Xingqiu didn't care even more.

Although businessmen want to earn more Mora, this cooperation is not for Mora, but for the future.

One of them didn't want to take advantage, and the other didn't care about being taken advantage of. The speed at which the two of them reached a cooperation was astonishingly fast.

Jiang Qing was silent.

Neither of these two people is cut out for business.

Eula was frank about her own powerlessness, but in fact, the most important ability a businessman needs is to stand on the past and look to the future.

The biggest taboo is to focus on the present.

Because there is nothing now, it is difficult to even draw a pie in the sky.

You can talk to them about the general environment and the promising future of your technology, but you cannot tell them that you are a small workshop and have ordinary people on your staff - how can you attract investment with all your sincerity and passion?

Xingqiu is similar.

It was clear that Youla had her eyes on the channel dealers of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and wanted to bypass Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and do business on her own when the time was right.

Not only did he not take advantage of the opportunity to kill Eula, he didn't even want to make a reasonable profit.

They actually hired someone to evaluate the value of this technology, and then planned to weigh how much profit to give to Eula.

These two people can actually make money if they do business.

If they had both started from scratch in the early days, they would both have lost everything.

But after Feiyun Chamber of Commerce had already succeeded, Xingqiu's frank and equal cooperation could attract more suitable partners.

People may ridicule kindness, but rarely resist making friends with a kind person.

Especially this kind-hearted person, who already has considerable status and wealth.

And Eula...she has enough opportunities to trial and error, and this general environment also prevents Feiyun Chamber of Commerce from considering any unfair cooperation.

"All right."

Eula reminded, "I have completed my cover job, it's your turn."

Xingqiu, who was in deep thought, suddenly perked up.

The conversation between Jiang Qing and Ganyu, and the transaction with Ningguang, are certainly not things that are known to everyone.

In fact, Ganyu only told Qixing "that's all".

Ningguang remained silent. She didn't even tell the three secretaries around her, so no one else would know.

If Feiyun Chamber of Commerce knew Jiang Qing's ideas and attitude, the first thing they would do is to ask Jiang Qing to leave.

They just want to understand the movements of the Seven Stars and then find a backer.

I didn't want to be involved in such big news.

It's a pity that they don't know.

Jiang Qing has a kind smile.

"It's like this, Xingqiu." He said in a rather serious tone, "I got a message from Lord Tianquanxing."

"There is news about the movement of the Seven Stars."

"How much do you think this information is worth? Feiyun Chamber of Commerce will definitely give you a satisfactory price."

The second young master agreed without hesitation.

He can do business.

I don't like it, but my family members taught me by example, so I learned it naturally.

But this time there is no need for negotiation.

If Jiang Qing was not joking, the price of this news was indeed worthy of being described as "at any cost".

"After the death of the Emperor, under the leadership of Yuhengxing, the Seven Stars began to fight for the power vacancy left by the Emperor."

"We can see this behavior as the Seven Stars' attempt to restore peace to the city as soon as possible." Jiang Qing paused, "But in the eyes of the immortals... this is a naked attempt to seize power."

Before the old man's [Immortal Ancestor Transformation] had even completed the [Ceremony of Sending the Immortal], the Seven Stars had already begun to divide power.

One can imagine what the immortals think.

Xingqiu remained silent.

How should I describe this move... It is in line with Yuhengxing's consistent proposition.

But the results may not be very good.
