Chapter 586: Decision

(Merry Christmas. I just found out that there was an error setting the automatic upload yesterday (*x-on:οx-on:*) Wow~

Just made it up. This chapter is today's update.

Also, thank you for your support. There is no such thing as a great gift for Christmas, so I broke out. In addition to reissuing yesterday's, there are two more. )

Feeling anxious, the envoy from the giant ship landed in front of Long Aoyun.

Looking at it, Long Aoyun saw that this was a kind of attire that he had never seen before. He was dressed in straight white clothes with two parts at the top and bottom, and his short hair was particularly energetic. A kind of self-confidence, rushing to the face.

Long Aoyun didn't dare to wait for the other party to speak, so he hurried forward to express his thanks.

But when the other party opened his mouth, Long Aoyun was dumbfounded!

what are you saying? Obviously, there was a language barrier for everyone.

Fortunately, one advantage of cultivators is that they can communicate with spiritual knowledge—but this kind of communication is more dangerous, and it is easy for evil people to seize the opportunity.

On the other hand, Long Aoyun took the initiative to explore his spiritual consciousness and communicate with the other party. Another advantage of spiritual knowledge exchange is that it is fast, and the two sides exchanged the general situation in just a cup of tea.

Envoy of the Kingdom of Shang: We come from Yingzhou, half a million miles away, for business. It was originally planned to arrive at the Baihong Empire.

Long Aoyun was surprised and shocked, but he still told about the situation on his side: this is the Canglan Empire, west of the Baihong Empire. We are now being attacked by the demon clan, the situation is so...we need rescue.

After expressing the need for rescue, Long Aoyun became anxious.

Will the other party come to the rescue?

If the other party rescues, how will it be rescued?

If the other party rescues, what is the asking price?

What if the other party turns around and leaves - this is very likely, because the other party is here for business! So, is the current Canglan Empire still worth doing business? The answer is yes - no!

The messenger didn't respond, but flew back to the warship.

After Chang Lin and Guo Hongyan heard the news, they immediately started discussing; by the way, Xiao Zihou, the second shareholder of Pengcheng Wanli Group, was also called to discuss together.

After Xiao Zihou heard this situation, his first reaction was—sail along the coast to the east, and we will trade with the Baihong Empire. This Canglan Empire has been smashed to pieces, and it has no value at all.

The surrounding military officers, as well as the managers of the Pengcheng Wanli Group, all expressed their desire to trade in the Baihong Empire.

Even Chang Lin was shaken.

But at the critical moment, Guo Hongyan expressed his objection, "My suggestion is to support the Canglan Empire for free!"

What? As soon as this remark came out, the entire meeting room exploded.

"This is a god-sent opportunity!" Guo Hongyan's eyes brightened. "Everyone, God sent us here with a storm, isn't it God's will?"

In the world of practice and the world of fairyland, everyone still believes in this "God's will". As soon as Guo Hongyan made the keynote, everyone immediately began to think.

Yes, in less than four days, a storm carried everyone over 200,000 miles away, to the Canglan Empire, and happened to arrive at Longya Island. If this is God's will, then it is true.

But Xiao Zihou had doubts, "Mr. Guo, God's will must be violated, otherwise there will be no ascension. God's will is not always correct, otherwise there will be no evil.

Our southward exploration this time is to make a profit.

Personally speaking, we Pengcheng Wanli Group invested almost all of our wealth in this voyage. If we can't get enough returns, the group will face an unprecedented crisis and even disintegrate.

From the country's point of view, if our voyage can get rich rewards, it will have a positive impact on the economic expansion of the Shang Kingdom. But if we lose, I'm afraid it will have a huge negative impact on the economic expansion of Shang Kingdom. "

Xiao Zihou's words were so pertinent that even Chang Lin had to nod his head. To put it bluntly, this southward exploration is more of an "experimental" nature.

If the test is successful, it will be great! But if the experiment fails, then...the consequences are very simple, businessmen are chasing profits, and if the experiment fails, the Shang Kingdom's economic expansion policy will suffer a serious blow.

Not everyone can gather hundreds of millions of taels of gold wealth, and few businessmen have the courage to use hundreds of millions of taels of gold for nothing.

Everyone looked at Guo Hongyan. Guo Hongyan, however, calmly said, "We will gain something, and this gain is... the Canglan Empire!

I just talked to the leaders of those people, they are the last hope of the Canglan Empire. And these people are engraved with hatred in their souls!

what does that mean? "

Everyone was thoughtful, but they still looked at Guo Hongyan.

Guo Hongyan paused for a while and continued: "This shows that these people are the best tools!

What if we can support a country in Haozhou, a country that obeys the orders of the Shang Kingdom?

Xiao Zihou, this is your opportunity for Pengcheng Wanli Group. You have the opportunity to control a country. As long as you control a country, do you still worry about not being able to make a fortune! Instead of doing business and wrangling with other countries, why not control a country by yourself?

From half a million miles away, support a country that obeys your orders!

Do you have the guts to take a gamble? "

Xiao Zihou's breath became short of breath, but this incident was too shocking. Now that I think about it carefully, Guo Hongyan's proposal is really very feasible!

Take control of a country, from all aspects of technology, economy, and culture. If you remotely control the country's external expansion, then... it will be an unimaginable benefit. What are magic weapons and giant ships, what are gold and silver treasures, to control a country, to control a country...

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Xiao Zihou is not stupid.

But at the same time, Xiao Zihou also understands that it is not easy to control a country. Especially with such a distance, if the rising Canglan Empire loses control, even Li Xian can only stare blankly.

It's a choice.

If you go to the Baihong Empire in the east, you will definitely get dozens or even a hundred times the profit if you go south to explore this time. But this is a one-off.

If you support the Canglan Empire on the spot without compensation, in addition to the righteousness of the human race, you can also control a country-the future benefits will be endless. However, the risks are endless.

Chang Lin and Guo Hongyan didn't speak, they waited quietly for Xiao Zihou's decision. The goods this time were all from the Pengcheng Wanli Group, and Chang Lin and Guo Hongyan had no right to instruct Xiao Zihou to handle them.

Xiao Zihou took a deep breath, "Please give me some time."

Then all the managers were brought together to discuss on the spot. Discussion was intense. Xiao Zihou finally asked Guo Hongyan to do some analysis on the details and other parts.

Such a discussion went from 10 noon to 10 sunset, but it still didn't stop.

Chang Lin was not in a hurry. This time I traveled so far south, it's not a big deal to discuss important matters for a day or two.

But on Longya Island, Long Aoyun, Huang Fulin, Gu Ying, former Aoyun Empire Prince Yun Zhipeng, former Aoyun Empire Zhenxi General Mu Qinghe, and Canglan Empire Prime Minister Duan Feiyu's son Duan Longquan, Canglan Empire Prince Lan Haitao and others waited anxiously and anxiously.

It has been half a day since the messenger left. The ships ahead did not leave or move. Apparently, discussions were taking place on board.

Everyone on Longya Island could imagine that the discussion on the boat might be very intense. If possible, Long Aoyun and others would like to go up to investigate and ask. But obviously, everyone dare not. Can only wait quietly.

Time passed while waiting, the sun set and the sky was full of stars, but the warship still did not leave.

"As long as you don't leave, there is hope!" Standing on the reef by the sea, Long Aoyun waited quietly, like a drowning person who is reluctant to give up the last straw.

In desperation, an impossible fleet suddenly appeared in the north. This is a very powerful fleet belonging to the human race, and rescued himself and others in danger.

This may be God's will.

But Long Aoyun is no longer the naive young man in the past, God's will is hard to disobey, but people's hearts are unpredictable! Long Aoyun waited quietly, not daring to relax a bit, even if the boat heaved slightly in the waves, Long Aoyun would be nervous.

This is the last hope, and a mighty one at that!

But Long Aoyun was not waiting alone. Gradually, Duan Longquan, Lan Haitao, Huang Fulin, Mu Qinghe, Yun Zhipeng, Gu Ying and others gathered around Long Aoyun.

In previous battles, Long Aoyun has established his personal prestige, whether it is courage or resourcefulness, he has won everyone's respect.

The night was quiet and the waves were slightly undulating. The wreckage of the monsters on the shore has long been snatched up by the swarming sea monsters.

Only Long Aoyun and others waited quietly.

The sky gradually darkened and came to dawn. At this darkest moment, Long Aoyun didn't dare to blink, and quietly looked at the almost unrecognizable warship in the darkness.

When the eastern sun rises, the rising sun stretches the figures of Long Aoyun and others longer; it also makes the giant steel ship on the sea even more majestic.

And when a ray of sunlight shone into the warship, Xiao Zihou finally took a deep breath, and slowly looked up at the turbulent sea outside. Time to make the final decision.
