Chapter 343 The Enemy Is Coming
At the same time, in Lianyun Qizhai, just one month after Li Mu left, Chen Xing led the elites of Jingwu Association to build Liujia Town and Six Dazhai like iron barrels.
Any disturbance in the entire town cannot escape the eyes of the Jingwu Association. If you want to avoid the Jingwu Association and do some illegal business, it is absolutely impossible unless you enter Lianyun Qizhai.
Even in Lianyun Qizhai, all large commercial banks must report accounts to Jingwu Association every week and accept the account inspection of Jingwu Association. If there is any violation, they will be severely punished.
During this period, Chen Xing also took the initiative with the masters of the Jingwu Association to eliminate several illegal trading points near Lianyun Qizhai. These trading points were not under the control of the Jingwu Association, and Lianyun Qizhai was nearby. The largest force, then these trading locations are naturally illegal.
Chen Xing used strict laws and implemented a fair system at the same time, so that the business in Liujia Town would be fair and just, so that there would be no need for additional extortion. In the past, Liu Fugui and the family members of the six village owners went everywhere to get benefits from Qiufeng, and it was common for them to occupy shares. Since the Jingwu Association took over Liujia Town, this kind of thing has not happened.
Therefore, in just one month, Lianyun Qizhai's trade recovered by 70% to 80%, and truckloads of resource gold were pulled back and sent to Luochuan Town, earning Li Mu and Jingwu Association a huge amount of money. In order to save face, the criticism of the Crazy Sword Club disappeared immediately.
Lianyun Qizhai was conquered by Li Mu. The Crazy Sword Society sent several waves of people before but failed to take it back. Now they are running Lianyun Qizhai so well, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?
"Everyone, the reason why we are here today is to bring together the independent businessmen of Liujia Town and the small caravans to form a business alliance. When the caravans come and go, the business alliance will directly send guards to protect them and ensure their safety. The business alliance will also come forward to negotiate on the price of import and export goods. With our combined strength, we will naturally be able to get a more favorable purchase price and obtain greater benefits!"
"Working alone is just a piece of loose sand. The bigger the business, the more goods are bought and sold, the greater the right to speak. This is just like the speech of a big company is definitely more useful than a small one. I hope everyone will consider it!"
In Liujia Town, Chen Xing gathered all the small merchants and caravans in the town. He planned to knead the small merchants and small caravans in Liujia Town together to form a big business alliance, and all the trading resources would be provided by the business alliance. Negotiation will not only maximize benefits, but also allow the business alliance to control all smuggling channels.
In this case, even if a merchant caravan rebels in the future, Liujia Town's business will not be greatly affected.
As for the big caravans and large trading houses, many of them are sent by the big companies in Jiangcheng. They have their own channels and do not need the merchant alliance to negotiate on their behalf. They are definitely not willing to let the merchant alliance negotiate on their behalf. Chen Xing knows this very well. A little, so they were not invited at all.
As soon as Chen Xing said this, hundreds of business representatives in the room immediately started talking. Some people thought this was a good idea, while others were worried that their business would be controlled and they would lose their autonomy.
Chen Xing watched with a smile on his face and did not rush him, because he knew very well that the establishment of a business alliance was the general trend. Firstly, it was the Jingwu Association that had the final say in Liujia Town, and secondly, under the name of the Crazy Sword Association, those It is much more convenient for small merchants and small caravans to transit in Luochuan, or to bring goods back to Jiangcheng for business.
The most important thing is that when these small businessmen and caravans brought goods back to Jiangcheng, they were inevitably exploited in all aspects. Local snakes and police officers did not need to take care of them and hand over part of their oil and water. But if a business alliance was established, which one Sheriff, which local snake dares to look for food on the head of the Crazy Knife Club?
Even if you give them ten courages, they won't dare.
Not to mention that after the establishment of the merchant alliance, the caravans set out from Liujia Town and returned to Jiangcheng. They were protected by security teams along the way, and the safety was greatly improved. In the past, those merchants who worked alone or small caravans often had to Follow the large caravan and take shelter under their wings.
Not only do you have to look at the face of the big caravan, but you also have to pay a lot of money. When you encounter some rare and good goods, they are directly bought by the big caravan. Instead of doing that, it is better to form a business alliance and follow the business alliance. Eat.
"Mayor Chen, establishing a business alliance is a great thing. We firmly support it!" The owner of a small caravan immediately stood up and said loudly.
"Yes, yes, we agree, and we support it!" Many other people quickly followed suit, standing up and waving flags and shouting.
"Let's do this. Our Crazy Blade Club is very democratic. Let's vote by a show of hands. The minority obeys the majority!" Chen Xing said with a smile.
"If you support the establishment of a business alliance, please raise your hands!"
In the simple conference room, among the more than 100 business representatives, number 56 or 10 raised their hands. When others saw so many people raising their hands, some could only raise their hands even if they were reluctant. In the end, the decision to establish the business alliance was unanimously voted. pass.
Chen Xing's words are very clear. The minority obeys the majority and does not give the minority a chance to withdraw. As long as the majority agrees, you have to agree even if you don't agree. Unless you don't want to continue doing business in Lianyun Qizhai, these businessmen are all monkeys. How could an average person not understand the meaning of Chen Xing's words?
The name of the Merchant Alliance is Lianyun Merchant Alliance. When the Lianyun Merchant Alliance officially starts operations, it won't be long before the big caravans will be asking to join.
By that time, nothing happening in Lianyun Qizhai will be able to bypass the Lianyun Merchant Alliance, and the entire Lianyun Qizhai will become Li Mu's back garden.
"After this month's development, there are basically no major internal problems in Lianyun Qizhai. The remaining ones are just a few minor troubles that can be digested and resolved slowly. Still no news from the vice president?" After sending away the business representatives, , Chen Xing rubbed his temples and asked. Although he didn't encounter any danger during this period, there were a lot of chores that consumed his mind.
"There is no news about the vice-president in Luochuan Town for the time being. He still has not returned to the city, nor has he gone to Luochuan Town!" A former senior executive of the Jingwu Association said, "The vice-president has been away for so long, he can't be out of town. What happened?"
"No, the vice president is a peerless genius. Ji Ren has his own destiny, nothing will happen!" Chen Xing immediately shook his head and said, "The vice president should have important things to do. It's temporarily delayed. Let's take care of it first." What happened to Lianyun Qizhai, we can’t let the vice president down!”
"There are no internal problems in Lianyun Qizhai now. They are mainly external problems. Yaocheng and Jiangcheng each get what they need. Although they are still trading, it is obvious that Yaocheng has been a little aggressive recently, fearing that they want to make peace with them. Let’s take action. Previously, Liu Fugui and the others were said to have recognized a half-demon leader in Demon City as their godfather, and turned in a large amount of offerings every month, so they were safe!"
"We are just doing business as normal now. We don't rely on anyone. We don't give Yaocheng any benefits at all. I'm afraid that Liu Fugui and their godfather might take revenge!"
The Jingwu Association originally had some objections to doing business with Yaocheng. Although this was about getting what they needed and not being an enemy, it would not sound good after all. However, this matter was actually Jiangcheng's current policy. Jiangcheng needs too many resources, many of which are only available in Demon City. If you don't do business with Demon City, you won't be able to get many resources, so this business has to be done.
Since this matter is Jiangcheng's policy, the Jingwu Association has nothing to say. Not only must this matter be done, but it must be done well, and Yaocheng cannot take advantage of it.
"The demon city is not monolithic. I heard that some half-demon people are making a lot of money by doing business with us. Other half-demon people are already jealous. Liu Fugui and their godfather may not dare to do anything. So!" the former senior executive of the Jingwu Association said disapprovingly.
Even if Liu Fugui and their half-demon godfather had objections and felt unhappy, if he dared to interrupt the transaction, other half-demon people would naturally take the opportunity to take action. If he didn't want to affect the transaction, that guy wouldn't dare to mess around.
"You still have to be more careful about this matter. Please pass on the order. The number of patrols has been doubled recently, day and night. We must be careful and make sure there are no mistakes!" Chen Xing said seriously.
"Yes, I understand!" Although the senior member of the Jingwu Association was somewhat disapproving, he still nodded and was about to go out to deliver the order, but at this moment, a member of the Jingwu Association rushed in in a panic.
"Commander, what's wrong, there's a beacon burning over at Blackstone Village, something must have happened over there!"
"What?" Chen Xing's expression changed, and he immediately rushed out and climbed directly to the watchtower in Liujia Town.
In the past month, the Jingwu Association was not only handling the internal affairs of Lianyun Qizhai, but also built an observation tower. This observation tower is fifteen feet high. It was built in the center of Liujia Town and is specially used for security tasks. Yes, it can observe the situation far away around Liujia Town.
Chen Xing hurriedly climbed to the observation deck and looked in the direction of Heishizhai. Sure enough, he saw black smoke filling the sky over there, and a beacon fire was lit.
"Use the radio to see if we can get in touch and ask them what happened over there?" Chen Xing looked solemn and shouted immediately.
In the wild, the only method of communication is to use a radio walkie-talkie, but the communication range of a radio walkie-talkie is limited and it is easy to be interfered. Communication within one kilometer is basically no problem, but beyond one kilometer, it depends on luck.
After all, there are towering giant trees everywhere in the wild. These giant trees greatly interfere with the signal. Although Liujia Town and the other six villages are equipped with walkie-talkies, whether they can contact each other depends on luck.
"Commander, we can't contact Blackstone Village, the signal is all noise!" the member of the Jingwu Association responsible for contact said with an ugly face. Usually, standing on the watchtower, there is some signal, but today there is no signal at all. .
"Commander, look, there's a beacon going on over there at Dongwang Village!" a member of the Jingwu Association shouted nervously.
"What?" Chen Xing immediately looked in the direction of Dongwang Village, and sure enough he saw black smoke billowing into the sky and a beacon fire burning.
But the beacon fires in Heishi Village and Dongwang Village were just the beginning. Soon, Xiaoshan Village, Fengbo Village, Mawang Village and Shuitou Village were also burning beacon fires one after another. Black smoke billowed into the sky in six directions around Liujia Town. It looked like the black smoke had enveloped the entire Liujia Town.
"Damn it, there is a big enemy coming. All six villages must have fallen!" Chen Xing's face changed drastically and he shouted sternly, "Inform the people around Liujia Town to return immediately. The town's magic circle is activated and all weapons are in combat readiness." Status, the people of the Jingwu Association enter the combat position and prepare to fight!"
"yes!"
The members of the Jingwu Association immediately got busy. Some people climbed onto the five-foot-high city wall of the town. Heavy machine guns were pushed out directly, bullets were loaded, and twenty or thirty siege crossbows were also pushed directly up. After climbing the city wall, the three-meter-long heavy crossbow was loaded and ready to be fired at any time.
One by one, the core members, peripheral members, and armed personnel of the Jingwu Association all entered the fighting position with weapons in hand, monitoring the surroundings of Liujia Town with great nervousness.
"What kind of enemy is it that can capture the six strongholds so quickly? We have manpower in all six strongholds. There are more than a hundred combatants in each stronghold. Some even have grandmasters. How can not even one of them escape to report the news?" None of them!" A senior official of the Jingwu Association said anxiously with an ugly face.
"Yes, report the news. Immediately send someone on a half-demon horse to Luochuan Town to report the news, and ask President Nie to send experts to help!" Another senior member of the Jingwu Association said immediately.
If no one goes to Luochuan Town to report the news, Liujia Town may be captured, and there will be no news from Luochuan Town for a while. In the wild, communication is definitely a huge problem that cannot be avoided.
"It's too late, the enemy has already arrived!" Chen Xing said with an ugly face while holding a telescope.
Through the telescope, Chen Xing saw a tall figure flying over slowly. He was indeed flying, not flying, because this man had a pair of jet-black wings on his back. There are feathers on the wings, just like the wings of birds.
This tall figure was flying over with its wings flapping.
"It's really here!" The members of the Jingwu Association on the watchtower felt nervous, and soon they also saw the tall figure flying over.
"It's a half-demon!"
This figure is about one meter taller than an ordinary person, almost 2.78 meters tall. The wings look like devil's wings, but he still maintains the appearance of a human. If it weren't for a transformed monster , is a half-demon.
But all monsters that can transform are basically big monsters at the level of Demon King or above. They are ten times and a hundred times more terrifying than Demon Generals and Demon Commanders. I am afraid they will not be interested in a small Liujia Town, so this The biggest figure is probably a half-demon.
This guy injected demon blood into his body and gained powerful strength. At the same time, his body also underwent horrific mutations.
"It turned out that one person conquered the six major villages, and in such a short period of time!" Chen Xing's face darkened, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. The strength of this half-demon might be even more terrifying than imagined. Depending on the strength of the Jingwu Association, they may not be able to defend it.
The figure flew directly outside Liujia Town without any scruples, completely ignoring the various weapons on the walls of Liujia Town. He stared at the people in Liujia Town with a cruel smile on his face.
"Who is Li Mu? Get out of here and die!"
