Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

At dawn, the Li family took over all the shops and supplies of the four major families.

From then on, the Li family would dominate Wangbei City.

To prevent a recurrence of monopolies, Wu Qi summoned Li Wenzhong and his son.

In the conference room on the top floor of the Spirit Hall, Watt and his son Li Wenzhong sat "obediently" beside Wu Qi.

"Although Wangbei City is small, it is an important passage guarding the empire's borders. Similarly, this will bring considerable business opportunities."

"I don't know what you will do in the future, but in order to avoid a market monopoly, we have decided to establish a business association in Wangbei City in the name of the Spirit Hall and the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."

Wu Qi possesses the Crown Prince's Golden Token, which allows him to act on behalf of Xue Qinghe.

With the Elder's Token in hand, it has simply become a business association and will not face any resistance.

The Li family father and son are naturally the presidents of the Chamber of Commerce. However, the pricing power for the commercial market in Wangbei City is decided jointly by the members of the Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber of commerce members include small and medium-sized business owners in the city.

The Li family father and son had no complaints about this.

They sold off tens of thousands of gold soul coins worth of goods last night, so they now have a considerable amount of funds.

Next, they could definitely enter the luxury goods industry.

Furthermore, the price of luxury goods is not on the agenda.

Those who can afford luxury goods don't care about the money; they care more about saving face.

"Here's a suggestion for you. When making luxury goods, it's best to design a striking brand logo and then establish a brand image."

"After that, it's all about brand operations. When, one day in the future, people can immediately recognize your brand logo as a luxury item, then your business model will be very successful."

"Note that luxury goods must be distinguished from ordinary goods, especially in terms of appearance."

In response, Li Wenzhong and his son had their own ideas. "Sir, I think we can use a handbag made of soul beast skin as a gimmick."

“Those upper-class women always carry handbags when they go out. Our bags, made of soul beast skin, can naturally be distinguished from ordinary handbags.”

Wu Qi hadn't expected that the father and son actually had a knack for business.

Luxury goods consumers are predominantly women, so focusing on women's products will definitely allow for a rapid market penetration.

Since the father and son had their own opinions, Wu Qi did not interfere with their ideas.

Next, the two sides discussed the specific working rules of the business association.

……

The trip to Wangbei City was just a minor episode.

Next, Wu Qi wrote a letter and sent it to Wuhun City, while he himself went to Tiandou City.

He had promised Dugu Bo that he would help him repay the favor owed to Prince Xuexing.

But plans can't keep up with changes. After the Soul Master Competition ended, he went directly to the City of Slaughter for training.

Going back now is just right; I can also take the opportunity to learn about the situation in the Heavenly Dou Empire.

At the same time, a carriage drove into Wangbei City.

"Boss, I heard that the commercial market in Wangbei City is monopolized by a few major families in the city. Would it be a bad idea for us to come here to explore the market now?"

The people inside the carriage were Flanders and his party.

Since leaving Shrek Academy, their business has been booming, and they are eager to expand.

Although Northview City is a small city, its business environment is much better than that of Nottingham City.

To avoid taking too big a step and incurring huge losses, Flander set his sights on this place.

News travels very fast on the Douluo Continent. The major families monopolize the city's market, which will only take a month or two, and few people go out from here.

Apart from the caravan guards who regularly escort goods, the outside world knows almost nothing about the situation here.

However, Flanders and the others arrived at just the right time.

Wu Qi had just resolved the chaos in the city, and the Wangbei City Commercial Market was in dire need of rebuilding. Flander emphasized, "Old Zhao, why boost others' morale and diminish our own? Don't forget, this guild leader is a Soul Douluo powerhouse."

During this period of self-reliance, Flander gained a large amount of cultivation resources.

While at Shrek Academy, he had already broken through to level 79. With the support of resources over the past two years, he successfully broke through to the Soul Douluo level.

Having become a powerful Contra warrior, one already possesses the ability to establish a sect on the continent.

No matter how powerful the major families in Wangbei City are, what can they do? They still have to obediently submit to his tyranny.

However, Flanders was merely greedy and had no intention of disrupting the market.

The local chamber of commerce was willing to accept them, and the two sides naturally lived in peace.

Unbeknownst to them, a chamber of commerce was established in Wangbei City under Wu Qi's arrangement.

The arrival of Flanders and others filled the market gap.

Furthermore, they will remain important members of the Chamber of Commerce in the future.

Of course, this is a story.

……

Tiandou City.

Since setting off for Wuhun City, Wu Qi has not returned here for nearly two years.

He immediately concealed his presence and returned to Qibao Academy.

Feng Xiaotian and the others had long since graduated and left, and the size and decoration of the academy were vastly different from what they used to be.

Currently, only Ning Rongrong remains in the academy, and she has already broken through to the Soul King level.

In her spare time, Ning Rongrong would also act as a teaching assistant, giving lectures to students in the auxiliary department in place of the teachers.

Upon his return, Wu Qi did not want to attract too much attention and ultimately did not acknowledge Ning Rongrong as his new wife.

A secluded courtyard within Tiandou City.

Dugu Bo sat in a recliner, enjoying his leisurely life.

From time to time, he would also give Dugu Yan pointers on her cultivation.

Since the Soul Master Competition, Dugu Yan did not go out to seek more powerful opportunities like other geniuses, but instead steadily improved under the tutelage of Dugu Bo.

It is worth mentioning that Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan are very close friends, so she stayed by the latter's side.

Before long, there was a knock on the gate of the villa.

It’s different in the past.

Wu Qi now exudes a powerful killing intent.

Although his mental strength could overcome the erosion of the killing intent, the killing intent itself did not disappear and still objectively existed.

Not to mention, he also received Xiao Wu's sacrifice, and his aura was different from before, so Dugu Bo failed to recognize him.

Just as Dugu Yan was about to open the door, Dugu Bo called out to her, "Yan Yan, wait a moment."

First of all, this villa is very secluded, and there are imperial soldiers patrolling the perimeter, making it impossible for ordinary people to get close.

The opponent must be quite powerful to have gotten this close.

Moreover, given Dugu Bo's style of doing things, he was destined to have no friends.

If it were Prince Xuexing coming, it would be a grand affair, not something done so stealthily.

Furthermore, the newcomer exuded an overwhelming murderous aura, clearly indicating he was some audacious thug. Knowing the area was heavily guarded, he assumed it housed some important figure and intended to commit nefarious acts.

"Yanyan, Lingling, stay inside and don't come out. I'm going to meet them."

Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow, realizing the seriousness of the problem, and pulled Ye Lingling into the house.

Dugu Bo rubbed his hands together, eager to see who would dare to cause him trouble. (End of Chapter)
