Chapter 62 Four Business Alliances

Since he learned the true value of the legal core, Yang decided to go to Leiyu Town and first find a large business to cash in the resources at hand. Yang quickly enriched his pocket. His alchemy experiments are inseparable from various test equipment and materials, and it is unrealistic to be completely self-reliant. Finding the largest business in Leiyu Town can not only exchange resources for money, but also want to see what new alchemy materials and equipment can be purchased outside the Leiguang Forest.

Therefore, he hired Rodick as a guide to find a way for him to gain a foothold in Leistorm Town as soon as possible. Rodick directly recommended the largest Dandelion Chamber of Commerce in the town, which is a branch of one of the four largest commercial organizations in mainland China, located in Leistorm Town. Rodick promises to meet Yang's needs. Rodick is full of confidence in talking about these four commercial alliances. It seems that their brands represent credibility and strength. There is almost nothing they can't do. Yang is also very interested in this. With the help of the earth's memory, he is very interested in the operation model of this multinational enterprise, which is also related to his next plan. Let Rodick talk about the situation of the four commercial alliances in detail.

After thousands of years of development on the mainland, wars have been much longer than peace. Like the earth, the two sides of the war soon discovered that brave battles on the battlefield are not the only condition for victory. To win, economic strength is often the final force. In the end of a war, it depends on who has the best weapons, the most personnel and the most abundant food. War cannot be separated from economic strength as a backing. This statement has now been integrated into the minds of soldiers of every country.

The emergence of the four major merchant alliances is closely related to several mainland battles for hegemony. Since the Battle of Immortal Gods, the Xianwu Dynasty rose. The Xianwu Emperor Xuanyuan Zhaixing wanted to establish achievements for generations, vigorously promote centralization, abolish the local feudal system, replace it with the municipal system, the same writing, the same track, unify the weights and measures, sweep the divine court, suppress the hundreds of tribes, and gather the strength of the world to build the fairy world. Due to the excessive investment, all industries were in decline, the public was resentful, and various folk uprisings broke out one after another. The gods who were unwilling to fail were also secretly inciting themselves and issued prophecy to curse the death of the Xianwu Dynasty in the dynasty for the rest of their lives (Yang read this history and always felt that it was very similar to a guy who claimed to be the First Emperor).

Fortunately, Xuanyuan Zhaixing is worthy of being a hero of his generation. He changed his course and followed the suggestions of several major merchants in the Western Mainland that he had conquered, took the initiative to lower the commercial taxes and cancel checkpoints in various places. He also sent Xianren Dao troops to sweep them everywhere. Not only did he clear up land transportation, but he also entered the five major sea areas and opened up maritime trade. Merchants' exchanges became very smooth, allowing the already paralyzed logistics trade routes to rejuvenate. As a result, in less than ten years, businesses in the mainland were thriving, which not only allowed the precarious dynasty economy to overcome difficulties, but also promoted the development of people's livelihood and achieved the goal of enriching the country and strengthening the people.

In order to commend the merchants' achievements, Emperor Xuanyuan greatly improved the political status of merchants and also gave them special identities as the three imperial merchants. In the following hundreds of years, representatives of the three imperial merchants served as the imperial ministers of finance many times, with their economic and political strength first and their predecessors of the four major commercial alliances later.

However, in the late period of the Xianwu Dynasty, conflicts within the empire were sharp. The three imperial merchants did not want to serve the country, but were keen on enriching their own pockets. Various ambitious people came to the stage to claim the king and split the empire. In the end, the dynasty collapsed. The three imperial merchants did not support the royal family, but chose to surrender different forces, and ended up turning against each other, and the entire continent was in the midst of war. Now, when the major powers in the Western Continent were at the beginning, these merchants were secretly active and support behind them.

Among the three major imperial merchants, the Tianlong Shang Alliance even overthrew the old masters who surrendered and established themselves as kings to establish the Tianlong Kingdom. However, merchants were good at doing business, and they almost had the opportunity to engage in politics. As a result, the Goblin Empire emerged and soon the army came to the city. The Tianlong Kingdom, a merchant kingdom, who had financial resources but no strong army, was destroyed.

The real rise of the four major business alliances was due to the invasion of the demon race. The demon race defeated the goblin empire in one fell swoop. Under the threat of foreign invaders, the barriers between the East and West continents caused by the collapse of the Xianwu Dynasty were temporarily put aside, and the grievances between various races were also put aside. Everyone on the mainland united to deal with the common enemy of the demon race. The ability of merchants to communicate with each other and boost the economy shines brightly in the war of subduing demons and is unanimously approved by all races. Therefore, a large business alliance that accepts common business principles and implements cross-border transactions emerged.

After years of competition, the mainland has formed a pattern of controlling the mainland's business with four major merchant alliances, including Tianlong, Sihai, Jindiao and Dandelion. Among them, Tianlong and Sihai Merchant Alliance are in the east of Storm Ocean, and Jindiao and Dandelion are in the west of Storm Ocean. Through a storm Ocean, the four major merchant alliances also control the land trade routes of the East and West continents. In addition, the four major merchant alliances also control the four major sea areas surrounding the Shiqin Continent - the North Sea of ​​Ice and Snow, the East Sea of ​​Divine Dragons, the South Bloody Ocean and the West Silent Sea. They also maintain friendly relations with the sea races, which can be said to have a wide source of wealth and a rich world.

Under the conditions of the four major business alliances, each of them has financial resources comparable to that of a medium country. However, due to the famous "Miner Contract", the four major business alliances were unable to establish a country and could only build a Miner city as the headquarters of the Merchant Alliance. At the same time, it controlled a large area of ​​land leading to the East and West Continents around Storm Ocean, becoming a strange political body without a king.

This "Miner Contract" is related to the most glorious history of the four major merchant alliances. It was during the period of the Golden Tent Empire ruled by the Iron Curtain Khan, the Iron Curtain Khan who unified the continent. The Iron Curtain Khan had mixed bloodlines, such as people, demons, demons, and demons, and was regarded as unknown people since childhood and was sold as the most humble slave. However, he was a genius and fought step by step to ascend to the throne of the Khan Khan on the Dome Grassland. Then he not only conquered the Eastern Continent, but also led the strongest cavalry under his seat to cross the Despair Mountains and swept across the Western Continent countries. At that time, the only land on the continent that was not stepped on by the Iron Curtain Khan's iron hooves. In addition to the Demon Country where the Western Continent guarded the demons invaded the gate, there were only the area around Storm Ocean where the four major merchant alliances were located.

The Demon Kingdom guarded the passage between the Demon Realm and the Nine Realms. The Iron Curtain Khan did not want to attract another invasion of the Demon Realm, so it was understandable that the Demon Kingdom let go. The four major merchant alliances fought against the demon cavalry that was famous in the world for decades, and resisted for decades. It was a miracle. At that time, the four major merchant alliances had just established an offensive and defensive alliance and were about to further form a unified regime. Only a few merchant alliances divided the land and formed a federation with cities, and hired a powerful army with financial resources. Especially the navy can be said to be the best in the world, but none of them could defeat the other side, so they were noisy and turned a blind eye to the founding of the country.

Due to its wealth, the four major business alliances sent many personnel to infiltrate the upper class of intelligence stealing and lobbying in the surrounding countries, which made the four major business alliances always maintain unity externally and easily among major forces. Before the Iron Curtain Khan on the mainland, there were many overlords and ambitious people who had fought the business alliance's ideas, but no one has ever succeeded.

After decades of war between the four major merchant alliances and the Golden Horde, the two sides finally agreed to sign the "Miner Contract". The Golden Horde cavalry did not step into the location of the four major merchant alliances, and the four major merchant alliances no longer established a country and obeyed the jurisdiction of the Golden Horde in the name of the Merchant Alliance. On the surface, the four major merchant alliances bowed their heads and surrendered, but in fact they obtained precious freedom, which was considered to have become the name of the Merchant Alliance.

In the subsequent many wars that burned the mainland, the four major business alliances attracted many elite experts with the slogan of freedom and equality they proposed. Even if there is no apparent central government now, the four major business alliances are regarded as one of the powerful forces in fighting for the hegemony of the mainland. With such a history, coupled with the branch structure of the four major business alliances throughout the world, Yang felt that he was more confident in doing business with the Dandelion Chamber of Commerce.

The Dandelion Chamber of Commerce's sphere of influence is mainly in the southern part of the Western Continent, so it can set up branches in the remote Thunder Light Forest to monopolize the business of Thunder Light Forest. In Leiyu Town, the signboard of the Dandelion Chamber of Commerce Branch is comparable to the signboard of the local town government. Therefore, it was a bit surprised to see Wolfo, the head of the Dandelion Chamber of Commerce, standing at the door to greet them.

Wolfo is big and thick, and looks like a warrior than a businessman. Roddick whispered to remind Yang not to be deceived by his thick and powerful appearance. He is definitely an old fox. He saw the huge body of the Star Warrior and the huge body of the Rock Bull, and he didn't even hop around. He was obviously mentally prepared. While warmly welcoming Yang to get out of the car, he joked with Roddick, who was helping him: "Roddick, I didn't expect you to come out of the Thunder Forest. I heard that you took the deal of helping the daughter of the Scorpion Lion Duke to find medicine. Why are you empty-handed? You won't come back without even finding a hair from the Six-winged Thunderbird?"

Rodick's face suddenly looked ugly. As the boss of Thunderstorm Town, Wolford was so intimate about talking to him, a third-rate mercenary, which made him flattered. Obviously, the other party had done his homework, and Yang and the others had figured out their situation before they arrived. But when they remembered that the mercenary group was wiped out this time, he did not even touch the thunderbird feathers, and he felt sad and didn't know how to answer for a while.

There was a thunderous sound. As Xing, Su and Qing got out of the car, they threw down a lot of bird corpses. Wolf looked carefully and was shocked. They were all corpses of the Thunderbird. He knew that although the single thunderbird was not very strong, it was overwhelming as soon as he moved. To deal with them, they had to wait for the bird to fall alone, otherwise it would be enough to kill small mercenaries like Roddick and others, which was a matter of minutes. But there were dozens of thunderbirds in front of him. How could Xing and the three women do it?

Wolfo didn't know that among them were Qing, who was not afraid of lightning, and Yang, who was a bird nemesis. His musket was a powerful weapon for bird shooting. When Roddick and his men were still fighting to death on the edge of the forest, Yang almost killed a community of thunderbirds in order to hone his marksmanship. Now he took it out and it really had the effect of being ahead of him. He used the Star Chariot and the Rock Man Bull as the background, and the Thunderbird's corpse as the steps. Yang Zai Su and Qing helped him get out of the car. The first impression of Wolfo was that this person was either rich or noble, and had a great background.
