331、The thing about the hometown
Ding Qi observed Tian Zhongluo quietly, with a smile on his lips. This old fox who called himself Master Tian is also very cute sometimes! Lu Juzi sent someone to say hello to Piaohuatan and Qiyan Realm, claiming that he could help them bring things out of the secret realm of heaven and earth. Both families were very interested and had asked privately and learned the prerequisites.
When Lu Juzi greeted him, he once reminded him not to tell this matter out of the way. It looks very mysterious and secret, but it is not a secret that has been said the same thing as so many companies.
Ding Qi also greeted each other through the Wuxin Valley's sending Ling Valley. Hua Zhaoqi and Tian Zhongluo came today, and they were thinking about asking for help, thinking about whether to ask for help, and who else to ask for help if needed? So Ding Qi simply used the banquet to start talking.
Hua Zhaoqi is quite a kind person. He promised Lu Yudong to keep the secret, so it is difficult to tell him. Tian Zhongluo had no idea to help Lu Yudong cover up, and he didn't say it himself, so he asked Yu Pengfei to speak.
Ding Qi said nothing, but Zhu Shanxian smiled and said, "You can consider asking for help on your own or not, and who else can you ask for help. The rules of Alliance Leader Ding are the same for everyone. You can share half of the things you bring, because it is relatively expensive to do it."
Hua Zhaoqi said with a determined look on his face: "I have already considered it! Leader Ding, can you please visit Piaohuatan and guide the work? There are also fellow practitioners from Xiaojing Lake, Jinshanyuan, and Chishan Mountain. As long as anyone has time, I will also invite you to accompany Leader Ding to Piaohuatan as a guest. If Leader Ding is in a good mood and in good condition, then help me bring some spring buds out!"
Ding Qi smiled, laughing happily, turned his head to Zhu Shanxian and said, "Senior Brother Zhu, please include the first list of villas for island building. In fact, you don't have to be so anxious. It's just right to design and plan carefully. There are hundreds of suitable places here, so it's okay to choose slowly."
Hua Zhaoqi also smiled and raised his glass toast and said, "Thank you, Alliance Leader Ding! When will Alliance Leader Ding come to Piaohuatan to inspect the work?"
Ding Qi: "I am in seclusion and recuperating. I will make arrangements when I have nothing to do. I will contact the master of Huatan in time."
Today, Ding Qi could not see any injuries in front of everyone, and his conversation and behavior were normal. However, all the people here were discerning people, more or less cultivating, and at least proficient in one sensing technique, they could also find that Ding Qi's current body and spirit is unstable, and it seems that there are hidden dangers in his body. It should be that his injury has not fully recovered.
After drinking here, the serious things were almost over. Next was to talk about flattering each other and communicating with each other. Ding Qi was intrigued and pointed to the last ten eggs left in the basket and said, "Fry these elixir eggs, add a dish, and everyone tastes it!"
Zhuang Mengzhou brought back thirty eggs and said that he was giving them to Ding Qi to nourish his body. However, Ding Qi ate them himself. Or the savory eggs and fried diced clams. The taste was nothing to say. He put them in two plates, and each person ate them all for a few chopsticks. Ding Qi seemed to have a taste: "If you use savory eggs and fried spring buds, you don't know what the taste is?"
Xian Hao frowned and said, "Your expression, tone, and the words you said look very much like Mr. Zhuang!"
Ding Qi: "I learned it from Mr. Zhuang."
Shi Buquan also had a good time and raised his glass and said, "Come on, I'll give us a drink!"
Hua Zhaoqi drank with a glass, but his mind had already floated back to Piaohuatan. He was thinking about how to welcome the coming new era of Fangwai Alliance. He thought a lot in his mind. Alliance leader Ding's injury has not healed yet, but he can first pick the most satisfactory island here, and then rush back to count Chunya's inventory, find an opportunity to have in-depth exchanges with Tian Zhongluo and implement future sales channels.
There is still a batch of spring buds in Piaohuatan, but unfortunately there are not many. Although this thing has unique spiritual effects, the demand for this disciple of Piaohuatan is so large every year, so only one batch will be processed every year for emergencies. The preparation cycle of spring buds is very long, and it takes at least five years. If you want to increase production on a large scale, it will probably take five years to wait until five years later.
Hua Zhaoqi has never calculated how many spring buds can be produced in Piaohuatan. In short, they only took a small part of them every year because it was useless to get too much of this thing, and they couldn't take it out anyway. The situation has changed now, but the number of transactions that can be taken out is not large, because the price paid is relatively high, it depends on how powerful Alliance Leader Ding's help is.
The spring buds that can be taken out are all the inventory processed by Piaohuatan over the years, and the quantity is not large, and can be mainly used for exchanges within the Fangwei Alliance.
As the saying goes, things are precious. If the supply of spring buds is too large, then their exchange value may be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is important to broaden channels and cannot be limited to Fangwei Alliance. If the export channels can be opened through Tian Zhongluo, then even if Piaohuatan increases production on a large scale, the output will be in short supply...
In just a few glasses of wine, Hua Zhaoqi had already drafted the first five-year plan in his mind.
After drinking almost all the time, Ding Qi did not mean to leave everyone in Xiaojing Lake overnight. The guests stood up and said goodbye, thinking of rushing back to report what they heard today, and spreading the news through the headquarters of the Fangwai Alliance. Shi Buquan stood up and said, "I'll send you out. The moonlight is good today. You can visit the moonlight by the way."
Everyone followed Shi Buquan and Xian Hao also got up and left, but Zhu Shanxian sat there without moving. Ding Qi said again: "Master Tian, please stay, I have something to say, I want to ask for advice in private."
Tian Zhongluo, who had just walked out, stopped and Yu Pengfei also stopped to look at him with inquiring eyes. Tian Zhongluo waved his hand and said, "You should accompany everyone to visit Yue Lingzhi first, don't wait for me when you go out."
Yu Pengfei whispered: "Master Tian, this..."
Tian Zhongluo said with a back hand and said: "Don't worry, it seems that the leader of Alliance Ding and Master Zhu Hu have important things to discuss with me. I also want to sit here for a while and enjoy the water and moonlight."
Only Ding Qi, Zhu Shanxian and Tian Zhongluo were left in the water pavilion. They removed the cup and plate and replaced it with a pot of tea. If it were before this afternoon, Tian Zhongluo might not have dared to come here alone to sit. But the atmosphere had already arrived at this time. Ding Qi asked for an invitation, and it would not be appropriate for him to stay.
Zhu Shanxian smirked and poured a cup of tea for Tian Zhongluo: "Master Tian, what do you think of Alliance Leader Ding's proposal today?"
Tian Zhongluo sighed: "It's so grand, so grand, I agree with it! I wonder if you two deliberately keep me, what else can you discuss?"
Ding Qi looked at the teacup and said calmly: "There are indeed a few things I want to inquire about, but I wonder if Master Tian recognizes Zhang Wangxiong?"
Tian Zhongluo's heart skipped a beat. This question was too sudden, but then he thought that what should come would come eventually. The other party specially found an opportunity to ask privately, so he didn't want to turn against him. So he tried his best to remain calm and sighed, "Even if the leader Ding doesn't ask, I want to find an opportunity to tell him. Zhang Wangxiong, I do know him and have met him in the world."
Alliance Leader Ding: "How much does Master Tian know about this person?"
As soon as he was talking, Tian Zhongluo had to say anything. He sighed and said, "I have indeed dealt with him. This person is very good. He has mastered many news channels in the public sector. He used this to conquer several gangs and do illegal work for him. I also collected some strange antiques through him.
I have heard about the old Gu family in Xuzhou, Jiangsu. He once brought two things to me to take care of me. It should be the magic weapon of Jinshan Court. He has been making the idea of inheriting Jinshan Court and has also asked me to cooperate with me. To be honest, I was also moved at that time, but I didn’t trust Zhang Wangxiong very much.
But later, Zhang Wangxiong suddenly disappeared, and even his most confidant subordinates disappeared. His identity was sensitive, and the relevant departments also set up a special task force to investigate, suspected that he had fled, but his whereabouts were never found. The case has not been removed yet.
Don’t underestimate the investigation ability of state organs. Although they did not find Zhang Wangxiong, they found out that many things he had done before and social relations he had dated were implicated and were asked by the investigators to talk to him.
Since Alliance Leader Ding asked today, I can also say something. At the beginning, I judged that Zhang Wangxiong and his men should have been in your hands, because later Alliance Leader Ding became the head of Jinshan Courtyard. Over the years, I have been collecting news from all over the world, I have always known some things, and I have been paying attention to some situations..."
Zhu Shanxian nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise Mr. Tian would not have found Nanqi Community at the beginning and proposed to establish a foreign alliance. The wise man did not say secret words. Zhang Wangxiong wanted to find Jinshanyuan for his freedom, but he should not have designed a poison to target innocent people. He was dead in the beast country and now he could not even find the capital of the corpse."
Tian Zhongluo's face was a little unnatural: "I have never mentioned the situation to anyone, that is, I'm here to talk about it today."
Ding Qi smiled and said, "If I hadn't trusted Master Tian, I wouldn't have mentioned these today. I'd better say something so that I won't have any misunderstandings in the future. Zhang Wangxiong's story has nothing to do with Master Tian, so this page has been revealed. Today, there are three main things to keep Master Tian alone, and it's just the first one."
Tian Zhongluo: "What about the second one?"
Ding Qi: "The second thing is of course about Jingsha Island..." As he said, he sent a divine thought, introducing the latest situation of Jingsha Island, which I learned from Ma Xiao.
Tian Zhongluo sighed tonight and sighed again: "What is the relationship between Ma Yuanling and I? Alliance Leader Ding should have known it for a long time. That guy is just an ungrateful wolf who is not familiar with it. He only remembers to beat him but not eat him! But I also know that there must be something wrong with his disappearance. It's too coincidental, it's equivalent to being taken away by someone!"
Ding Qi: "Master Tian has invested in Mayuanling for many years. Even though he knows who he is, he won't just trust such an island owner, right? I don't believe that you didn't put other eyeliners around him. Are the eyeliners still there now?"
Tian Zhongluo: "Oh! I only received some small favors for Ma Yuan. Just as it was left with a hidden thread to hang his appetite, but I didn't expect that this person's appetite was so big. He had a group of confidants, and it was difficult for him to be bribed, and all of them disappeared this time. But I did bribe someone as a spy, just to give him some money to report to me at any time if he has any situation."
Ding Qi: "Is this person still alive? It must not be Ma Xiao."
Tian Zhongluo: "Of course it's not Ma Xiao. I bought Ma Yuanling's driver at the beginning, and he was also his cousin's uncle. His name is Ma Kang, and he is known as Ma Lao Liu. I thought Ma Lao Liu could grasp many core situations, but I miscalculated it. Ma Yuanling had many things that Ma Lao Liu didn't let Ma Lao Liu participate, but I kept this eyeliner."
Ding Qi: "So I don't need to say that Master Tian already knows the current situation of Jingsha Island?"
Tian Zhongluo nodded and said, "Of course I know, inserting eyeliner is useful after all."
Ding Qi: "Before Ma Yuanling disappeared, he found Lu Juzi and other people to cooperate. Does Master Tian think he has the ability to settle Lu Juzi?"
Tian Zhongluo: "He doesn't have that ability, it's obvious who can settle it! The backstage of Ma Yuanling is Shi Liangde of Boci Group. I guess Lu Juzi is not cooperating with Ma Yuanling at all, but Shi Liangde."
Ding Qi: "So I also want to thank Master Tian. You told me who runs Jingsha Island behind the scenes, otherwise I wouldn't understand many things. We all suspect that Ma Yuanling's disappearance is problematic, but we have to pay attention to evidence in doing things. I won't mention this matter for the time being, and I will talk about it when there is any movement."
Tian Zhongluo: "What about the third one?"
Ding Qi: "The third thing is a bit embarrassing. It's my hometown..."
What does Ding Qi’s hometown have to do with Tian Zhongluo? In the past two years, the central government has launched a special campaign to combat organized crime and eliminate evil, and has also attacked Ding Qi’s hometown. Ding Qi’s hometown is in the mountainous areas of Jingyang County, and many young people have gone out to work, and in recent years, they have mainly engaged in specialty management.
There was a family with four brothers who were fined a lot for being over-birth, but later they started to shake off. None of the four brothers went out to work and became a bully in the village, gathering a group of idle and unemployed people, and even monopolizing several industries in that area.
The specialty mountain products collected by locals must be purchased by their designated trading companies and then resold. Several villages and small supermarkets in the market towns are also opened by their group. Commercial outlets like this are mainly for convenience. You can't buy a piece of soap and go to the county town, right?
They only sell goods they bought, not only are they limited in varieties but also have inflated prices. If someone opens a small supermarket to compete with them, they will be harassed and even smashed, and many local people dare not speak out. Last year, this group of people were also attacked by the anti-gang and evil forces. After arresting dozens of them, they were finally sentenced to more than a dozen...
Ding Qi introduced the story of his hometown mountain village and finally said, "I'm ashamed to say that the four brothers are all surnamed Ding, and I have to call them cousin! I called my uncle recently and heard about this, and then I went to check the situation."
Tian Zhongluo said in confusion: "What does this matter have to do with me? Didn't that group of people have been knocked out? Does Alliance Leader Ding need investment in his hometown? I will definitely help if I can help!"
Ding Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Master Tian misunderstood. I don't mean that. I just mentioned that the small supermarkets in that area were once monopolized by their group. The daily necessities they sell have special channels for purchase, and many of them are produced in Baiyun Cave. I was wondering, are those cousins who are rampant in the countryside for illegal gains, and are there any Baiyun Cave people who are indulging behind their indulgence?"
Tian Zhongluo changed his color slightly and said, "Is this a matter? After I go back, I will ask Master Zhai Cave carefully. If any of them is really related to this matter, they will definitely be punished strictly. How did they harm Master Ding's hometown? But I think this matter has little to do with Baiyun Cave, and they should not have participated."
Tian Zhongluo did not believe that the people from Baiyun Cave went to harm Ding Qi's hometown. Just a small village and a few small supermarkets, Tian Zhongluo would not pay attention to this. Baiyun Cave was not interested in running there to make trouble. But since Alliance Leader Ding talked about this situation, he would have to check it after he went back.
Zhu Shanxian shook his head and said, "Master Tian Jing, you misunderstood Teacher Ding! He wanted to ask you, do you have to continue the fake soap business in Baiyun Cave? Why bother with you? Actually, I also want to ask you, what are you planning for your future, and do you want to be a shameless white glove for the rest of your life?"
Ding Qi added: "You wanted to give those people in Baiyun Cave a living so that they can use it for you and control a secret realm of heaven and earth. But now the Fangwai Alliance is in this situation. There are many things to do, and what you lack is the available people. Why use the secret realm of heaven and earth to make fake soap? Including Master Tian himself, with your intelligence and capital connections, it is also very possible to do some serious things!"
The three of them had a long talk all night long. Tian Zhongluo did not say goodbye until dawn. Before leaving, Ding Qi sent him a divine thought. The content of the divine thought was the three-dimensional three-dimensional scene of the lake in the mountains. The scenes of each island were very clear. Then he smiled and said, "I know the situation of Chang Chengfu Land. Master Yang entrusted Master Tian to take care of everything. Then you can help Master Yang choose an island first."
Tian Zhongluo was very moved. He thought that he didn't take Ding Qi seriously at the beginning, and the only thing he was afraid of was Zhu Shanxian. But to this day, he couldn't accept it. This Alliance Leader Ding seemed to be staying in the secret realm of heaven and earth, but he understood everything in his heart!
Ding Qi looked at Tian Zhongluo leaving and felt very moved. Actually, this boss Tian Da was not smart and talented, and had great means to do things, but... the more suitable character of this person is actually the legendary dog-headed military advisor. He always doesn't stand on the table and thinks hard, and over time, he will never be able to get on the table. It's better if he talks about it today, Tian Zhongluo also needs to make a choice by himself.
Zhu Shanxian said on the side: "Teacher Ding, I don't know how to praise you anymore!"
Ding Qi: "What did senior brother praise me?"
Zhu Shanxian: "I understand all kinds of thresholds in the world, but I have never seen anyone who can do the beadwork so upright! Every step seems nothing, and anyone can see through it at a glance, but looking back, it is simply amazing."
