Chapter 920: Discussion
Sage was a little surprised to see such flirting right out of the gate, but he was briefed beforehand that this was one of Zhuge Xinyans most common tactics. There were many men that were easily swayed by a pretty face and just like having a gorgeous auctioneer, having a pretty and flirtatious business partner gave them an advantage. Even if they didnt fall for her entirely, they were still more likely to give her a better deal after she flirts and pouts at them. It was just unfortunate for her that her prior business deals had been made with Sages wife Ling.
Now that she was meeting with the new Clan Leader, Yating, she seemed to be trying to appeal to him with beauty. Its just too bad for her that Ling had taught her children from a young age not to fall for such things. In fact, she even got some criticism that exposing them to such issues when they were young had led to her fifth child, Yahui, being such a degenerate in his early years. Sage felt it was far more likely it was because they had pheromone control powers and knew they were the rulers of a whole world. They were bound for at least one of their ten kids to go out of control.
Zhuge Xinyan didnt seem to be discouraged by the lack of response from Yating. Instead she kept on trying to flirt, Unfortunately, I didnt come all this way just to see you, Lang Yating. I may enjoy the view, but sadly weve got other business to discuss. Weve had such a great relationship so far that we were sad to find out you didnt bring your new products to us! You know wed love to sell them for you.
Thats so kind of you to offer, but dont you worry your pretty little head. Weve already figured out how to market and distribute our products ourselves, you dont need to waste any time doing any work on our behalf.
Really? How impressive! So you know exactly what youre doing and arent going to sell any of your new products through Thousand Treasures? Are you sure you can handle things properly? You dont want to use our distribution channels?
You really are so nice, but dont stress yourself. The Lang Clan has plenty of airships and guards to protect them. We dont need Thousand Treasures, the Black Dog Company, or even the Iron Mountain. We are very confident in our vault as well.
Yahui changed everything, though it took the Lotus Valley quite some time to figure that out.
The compartmental nature of the falcons meant that all their actions were not so easily tied to the Lang Clan. Some of them bought businesses while others merely invested in and backed other normal citizens purchasing different businesses. Some of them merely got hired at established businesses and worked their way up to management positions. While the spies of Lotus Valley catered to the richest and most powerful members of society, the Lang Clans information network spread into the lower levels. They couldnt reliably gather the most important information, but they could collect many rumors and piece together a story out of them.
After nearly a decade in operation, Lotus Valley finally realized what was going on and tried to take them down. Unfortunately for them, capturing an agent only led to a few others before the trail went cold. Each of them only knew a few others they were trained with as well as their teacher, and most of the people they trained with were sent to somewhere far away from them. The trainers were far more trustworthy and were not so easily coerced to give up their own trainers. Even if they did, those trainers, just like the others trained with them, would be stationed somewhere far away. They had Messaging Jades only they could use and if they died or willed it, those jades could self-destruct.
It was only after a few dozen of their agents had been hunted down that Yahui finally made himself known to Lotus Valley. Rather than continue to lose people or start a war he chose to use intimidation. After making a threat, Lotus Valleys spies tried to kill him, but Yahui always had the protection of a Nascent Soul from the Purple Mist Sect. Since they tried to go after him, Yahuis guard stepped into action and eliminated the majority of an elite team.
As one of the Four Major Businesses of the Dou Kingdom, Lotus Valley wasnt inferior to any of the first rate powers. They also had more than a few Nascent Souls of their own, but after the show of force, they decided not to start a war over a small business. Just like they allowed the smaller restaurants, teahouses and casinos to exist, they also let the Lang Clan information network continue.
Or at least they had in the past. As soon as the representatives from Thousand Treasures left the Lang Clans headquarters in Lionheart Town, Messaging Jades were put to use and many things were set into motion.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
