Original God: I can earn experience points

Chapter 338 Chess and Cards (Two in One)

In the afternoon.

The not-too-hot autumn sun shines on the clear lake surface, evaporating a few water molecules that are invisible to the naked eye.

Gentle breezes swept across the lake, carrying the water vapor through the pavilion, adding a slightly cooler feeling to the surroundings.

Li Qiuzhi drank a sip of the unknown tea which was a little astringent and plain but left a lingering aftertaste. However, since it was used by Ningguang to entertain guests, it must be very precious.

As the tea flowed down his throat, doubts began to arise in his heart. He felt somewhat puzzled after hearing what Ningguang said:

"Establish a Chamber of Commerce? Uh. Why do we need to establish a Chamber of Commerce?"

Li Qiuzhi was a little confused at first, but then he made some guesses.

Could it be that Ningguang felt that if they directly used 500 million Mora to buy out the bicycle technology, they might suffer a loss, so they decided to form a guild of commerce to jointly operate the business and then share the profits?
But in this case, it will not be possible to earn 500 million Mora in a short period of time.

Moreover, managing a chamber of commerce is probably similar to running a company on Earth. It would probably be very troublesome, and there would be a lot of things to do.

"I think you may have guessed it. The purpose of establishing a new chamber of commerce is to mainly deal in bicycles."

Ningguang looked at Li Qiuzhi's thoughtful expression and said with a smile.

"But I don't want to manage a chamber of commerce or anything like that," Li Qiuzhi explained his difficulties.

"I can see that you are not someone who likes such trivial matters. The reason I want to form a chamber of commerce with you is not just for bicycles, but because I see business opportunities in you and Ying."

Ningguang, wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, elegantly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Oh? You mean."

Could it be that Ningguang is attracted to other alien technologies that Ying and I have besides the bicycles?
Otherwise, apart from this, what other business opportunities would they have?

All I can say is that Ningguang is worthy of her name. As a big businessman, she has a keen vision. No matter how much money a bicycle can make, it is just a product. However, Li Qiuzhi has many insights of another civilization in his mind.

Ying has traveled to many worlds and seen more civilizations.

Their knowledge and experience that are different from those of Teyvat are more valuable assets, and they are inexhaustible!
"Yes, I want to cooperate with you. If you and Ying don't want to participate in the business of the Chamber of Commerce, you can just be responsible for providing knowledge, technology or ideas. Everything else can be left to me."

Ningguang briefly stated her thoughts.

Li Qiuzhi thought about it seriously. If this was the arrangement, it would be good and would not interfere with his daily experience points or interactions with girls.

Just reproduce various products that are not available in Teyvat when you have time.

"Well, this way of cooperation is indeed good. Then how much of the Chamber of Commerce's shares do Ying and I own?"

Li Qiuzhi nodded.

Since he thought it was good, he didn't try to be mysterious. He would agree as long as the Mora he got in the end was suitable!

"Haha, I've always believed that the business world is a battlefield, with a lot of deceptions and suspicions. For the sake of profit, no matter what we discuss, we have to make it difficult.

"They would come up with all sorts of ridiculous excuses, such as there are old people and children at home, this is not allowed, that is not allowed.

"It's rare to see Mr. Li Qiuzhi so cheerful."

A smile appeared on Ningguang's fair face, and she felt even better about Li Qiuzhi.

[Ningguang develops a favorable impression of you, gaining 220 points of favorable impression. Current favorable impression level is Lv.5 (480/500)]

What kind of pleasure? He just didn't understand these things. Anyway, based on his understanding of Ningguang, she was a person with a lofty vision and would definitely not do such a shameful thing as deceiving herself for a little benefit.

In that case, it would be better to show that you trust her completely, so that you can win her favor.

When the favorability level is higher, maybe Li Qiuzhi will hug her legs and say - Sister Ningguang, I don't want to work hard anymore.
Ugh, how could I have such a depraved thought.

Li Qiuzhi quickly shook it off from his mind. One still has to rely on himself and make a little effort.

"Well, since you said so, I'll be straightforward.

“If you only provide technical knowledge and do not participate in other work of the Chamber of Commerce, then you can own 30% of the shares of this Chamber of Commerce.

"If we participate more deeply in the operation and management of the Chamber of Commerce, this number can be increased to 50%. What do you think?"

Ningguang thought about it for a moment and then expressed her idea of ​​having a plan in place.

Li Qiuzhi thought about it and felt that this share ratio was quite reasonable. It could be said that Ningguang was taking good care of them.

After all, they only provided technical knowledge, and Ningguang was responsible for establishing the Chamber of Commerce and various future production matters, so she naturally had to take more.

Even the initial funding for the Chamber of Commerce was provided by Ningguang.

He didn't think that the millions of Mora in wealth he and Ying had combined could keep the Chamber of Commerce running for a few days.

So Li Qiuzhi nodded and said:
"Thirty percent is enough. That's all. As for participating in the work of the Chamber of Commerce, you know I really don't want to go through so much trouble."

"."

Ningguang was silent for a moment.

It was really rare for her to negotiate such a major cooperation deal so quickly. Should she say that Li Qiuzhi was generous or that he trusted her?

“Okay, I have prepared all the relevant documents for the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce. Once the approval process is completed, we can build a factory and produce bicycles as soon as possible.

"As for the relevant contract documents, just sign yours first. Ying can wait until she comes back from Inazuma before signing."

Ningguang was naturally very happy to see that things were going so smoothly.

"Don't bother. I'll ask her to come back now."

Li Qiuzhi shook his head.

Then he used the ability of "interstellar travel" to contact Ying, who was far away in the ocean, and asked her to come back to sign a contract. Since Paimon was there, it would be easy for her to teleport back.

Therefore, Ying soon appeared beside Li Qiuzhi.

Ningguang was a little surprised to see Ying suddenly appear silently. This spatial transfer ability did not seem to cause any spatial fluctuations or abnormalities.

Even she didn't notice anything beforehand. I can only say that she is a stranger and has amazing abilities.

Ningguang did not waste any time and directly took out the contract documents that had been prepared in advance and handed them to Li Qiuzhi and Ying.

Li Qiuzhi and Ying took a quick look at it and signed after confirming that there were no problems.

It doesn’t matter whether there are any textual traps or not, the main thing is trust.

"This is the first time I've seen people talk about business this way." Walnut on the side said speechlessly, "By the way, if you want to form a chamber of commerce, you have to come up with a name, right? Hehe, do you want me to help you come up with one?"

"Well, it's good to hear your thoughts. I think the name 'Zhiyuan Chamber of Commerce' is good. Not only does it have a character from my name, but it also implies lofty ambitions."

Li Qiuzhi nodded, then said excitedly.

Ying crossed her arms and looked at him with disdain:
"This name is too common. It might as well be called 'Sweet Flower Merchants Association'."

"Haha, Master Hu is a great poet, so he can probably come up with a more meaningful name."

Ningguang covered her mouth and smiled as she looked at Hu Tao.

"Hehe, this is natural. Good! I got an idea. On one side you are strangers from outside the starry sky, and on the other side you are Tianquan Star of the Liyue Seven Stars. Both are related to 'stars', so why not call it the 'Star Chamber of Commerce'!"

Kurumi held her chest with her left hand, and thought for a while with her right hand on her chin. Then she clapped her hands and nodded to herself. "."

Li Qiuzhi, Ying and Ningguang were all silent when they heard the name Hu Tao gave.

How should I put it? If you didn’t know that it was the head of the Wangsheng Hall who gave it the name, others would think it was just something a kid said casually.

"Well, I think the 'Sweet Flower Merchants' is better. Don't worry about it, just this one, the sweet flower is a plant that can tenaciously bloom all over the continent of Teyvat.

"The same goes for using it as the name of our chamber of commerce. I'm sure our chamber of commerce can be opened all over Teyvat!"

Li Qiuzhi made the decision.

This is also very casual. Ningguang closed her eyes and sighed.

Forget it, I finally reached a cooperation plan with two strangers, so the name doesn’t matter anymore.

As long as there is knowledge and technology from the other world, there is no need to worry about the development of this chamber of commerce.

As a big businessman, she shouldn't be short of money. As for why she had to cooperate with two strangers to establish a chamber of commerce, it was nothing more than the same reason:
——Mora can never have too much.

Ningguang was in a good mood, and said with a smile:

"We have agreed on something so big, so we have to celebrate. I will host a banquet for you all at Xinyue Pavilion tonight."

[Ningguang develops a favorable impression of you, gaining 320 points of favorable impression. Current favorable impression level is Lv.6 (300/600)]

"Oh, since it's Lady Ningguang's invitation, we have to go."

Li Qiuzhi looked at the favorable impression prompt coming again, his eyes lit up and he said subconsciously.

"Well, I'll have Paimon come over then. She's most enthusiastic about eating big meals and such."

Ying nodded slightly and smiled.

There is no way. Although “interstellar travel” is wonderful, one person must stay on the ship. Otherwise, if both of them return to Liyue Harbor, all these days of sailing will be in vain.

"How can such a lively event be without this hall master!"

Walnut patted her slightly barren chest and raised her white chin and spoke.

“Haha, it’s natural.”

Ningguang smiled and nodded, then stood up with her knees straight. Her long, smooth platinum hair fell down her back to her fair calves. She said:
"Let Bai Wen and the others make the arrangements now."

After Yue Haiting and Ningguang agreed on the cooperation matters.

Everyone continued to talk about the products that "Tiantianhua Chamber of Commerce" will launch in addition to bicycles.

First of all, these products are naturally mainly easy to reproduce. For those that are too difficult, such as textile machines and steam locomotives, Li Qiuzhi can only provide an idea at most.

He is just an ordinary person on Earth, so how could he have the leisure to understand the specific principles of these things?

And it’s not good to move too fast.

"By the way, I often travel between Mondstadt and Liyue Harbor, and I've discovered that people usually go to taverns for a drink and chat after work.

"Many of them are adventurers. Relieving stress in this way is not good for health. How about bringing some board games from my world over here?

“The fact that they have been around for so long proves that many people like them.

"I think it should be popular even in Teyvat. Besides, it is much simpler to produce than bicycles, and the cost is not high. If we ship in large quantities, we will also make a lot of profit."

Li Qiuzhi thought for a while and said.

"Board games? Liyue also has some board games, but they are all tepid. Either the rules are too complicated and the learning cost is too high to become popular, or the price is too high to become popular.

"If your chess and card game can solve these two pain points and still have enough playability, then there is indeed a good market for it."

Ningguang folded her arms and nodded slightly.

"In that case, let me introduce them to you first. You and Ying can make a sample using rock elements according to my description and try it out."

Li Qiuzhi smiled and gave a detailed introduction to the more popular playing cards, chess and mahjong on Earth.

These things are quite educational and the learning cost is not high. Playing them occasionally can really help relieve stress.

Of course, the premise is not to bet on Mora, otherwise you will really fall into the sea of ​​suffering and your family will be broken up and destroyed.

If people buy into them after they are launched on the market, then Ningguang must be reminded to crack down on random gambling on Mora.

He allowed these educational board games to appear just to provide more entertainment for everyone, not to poison society!
Of course, there seems to be a gambling house in Liyue, and some things may be unavoidable.

After all, gambling makes money so quickly that many people are very keen on it. Even if there are no poker or mahjong, people already have other gambling tools.

So there is no need to worry too much.

Just don't let this trend prevail.

Soon, under the guidance of Li Qiuzhi, Ying and Ningguang also easily replicated them using rock elements.

Then there happened to be four people present, so we were able to try out the mainstream playing methods of mahjong and poker, and we could also play chess against each other.

After some trial play.

Everyone was truly amazed by their entertaining effects, especially Walnut, who was playful by nature and quickly became addicted to playing.

It can be seen that they are likely to become popular when they come to Teyvat.

Ningguang is a person who is very sensitive to business opportunities. After experiencing them all, she knows that it is only a matter of time before they become popular.

She thought for a long time.

After confirming that their appearance was generally beneficial to society, it was quickly decided to produce them in small batches for sale.

Test the market reaction and increase production if sales are good.

Li Qiuzhi was also very happy. After all, he would get Mora's dividends only if the Chamber of Commerce made money.

They played poker, mahjong and chess for an entire afternoon until dark. Perhaps because they hadn't played for a long time, even Li Qiuzhi found it novel and played a few more rounds.

In the evening, Ying teleported back to the Death Star and asked Paimon to come over and have a big meal with everyone at Xinyue Pavilion.

Little Paimeng was very happy about this!
I was almost tired of eating fish every day on the boat, but the traveler was so kind to me that he remembered to call her when there was a big meal.

When Li Qiuzhi heard little Paimeng's complaints, he looked at her speechlessly. Since she was tired of eating fish, why not teleport back to change the taste?

Upon hearing this, little Paimeng was stunned.

Then she felt a little annoyed that Li Qiuzhi didn’t remind her earlier!

Seeing little Paimon stomping his feet in anger, Ningguang and Hu Tao couldn't help but smile.

Before long, the banquet which was only attended by a few people ended and everyone returned home satisfied.

Ningguang will take care of the Chamber of Commerce's affairs, so Li Qiuzhi doesn't have to worry about it. He also plans to go to the Death Star tomorrow to take a look. According to Ying, there are many monsters on the sea.

He also wanted to gain some experience points.

It’s still a little late. It took some time to modify it. Sorry. I will be on time tomorrow!
