Chapter 1409: Chapter 365: A Hundred Flowers Bloom, Venerable of Destiny (Monthly Ticket Requested)
Once this opening is made.
In the future, whenever the Mingwu Clan encounters trouble, they’ll come to negotiate and ask for discounts on goods.
Perhaps, in Ye Ming’s eyes, the development of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce also depends on the support of the Mingwu Clan.
But in his, and the eyes of the members of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.
The future of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce will certainly not be limited to the Mingwu Clan, so Ye Ming’s demand is absolutely impossible for him to accept.
He leaned against the railing, the sea breeze lifting his robes:
"General, you must understand that what we provide to the Mingwu Clan, besides resources, are the trading rules of the Bright Star Sea Area, and even standardized pricing. These are things only our Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce can achieve. Without the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, you could at best enslave other races, but would be unable to establish this stable cross-force settlement system. Thus, the Mingwu Clan needs the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce more than the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce needs the Mingwu Clan."
Ah Lan’s words, Ye Ming naturally knew.
The core of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce’s cross-species trading system is the various precious commodities the Chamber brings with it.
Pure energy barytes, weapons and equipment obtained from unknown sources, life potions, a wide variety of spirit plant seeds... these are the core of circulation, and the most needed items in trade.
Without the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, trade across sea areas could not be established.
The Mingwu Clan is able to integrate sea area resources in a short time nowadays, which indeed cannot be separated from the mature trading system of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce and the subsequent maintenance services.
Being hit on the key point, Ye Ming’s expression instead softened.
"So, General." Ah Lan’s voice slowed a bit:
"Instead of struggling with whether we are willing to reduce prices, why not think about how to use your resources to trade with us, for example, the Spirit Ore produced from the new silver star ore vein explored under the Mingwu Island, it can be used as a bargain chip, it doesn’t necessarily have to be used in crafting war weapons, right?"
Ye Ming suddenly looked up, a trace of alertness flashed in his eyes:
"Are you probing our clan’s secrets?"
"I’m showing you the clear path." Ah Lan spread his hands:
"In the eyes of my Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, there are no secrets in the entire sea area, and what the chamber wants is profit, not territory. You keep the big picture, we activate the business, nobody gets something for nothing; this is the rule for long-term cooperation. You have chips in hand, yet choose to negotiate for concessions from my Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce. Do you find it appropriate? Or do you want to approach this issue from a perspective of strength again?"
At this moment, Ye Ming sat down, picked up the wine glass from Ah Lan’s table, and drank it all.
Spicy wine slid down his throat; he was about to continue negotiating with Ah Lan, the head of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, for more benefits, when a silver-white figure appeared silently on the rooftop.
The arrival stepped on the flowing black Evil Wind, silver robe fluttered in the wind, dark golden hair band glowed slightly in the sunlight.
The one who arrived was the Destiny Clan’s Life Throat, who had an appointment with Ah Lan in advance.
Seeing the strange figure arriving, Ye Ming’s brows instantly tightened, as his negotiation with the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce’s head was at a critical point.
This sudden intruder undoubtedly interrupted the rhythm, causing him actual displeasure.
"Who is this?" Ye Ming looked at Ah Lan, with a touch of impatience in his voice.
Before Ah Lan could speak, Life Throat nodded actively, silver pupils calm:
"General Ye Ming, it’s been a while."
Facing the greeting from the stranger, Ye Ming was taken aback.
What puzzled him was that not only did the other know his identity, but the tone also carried some familiarity; yet, he scoured his memory and couldn’t recall meeting this figure.
Neither the appearance nor the life breath dispersing from the figure matched anything he knew.
However, since the other mentioned his name, it suggested perhaps they had interacted.
"Who might you be?" Ye Ming lifted his head, eyes filled with confusion.
Life Throat was also somewhat shocked.
Unexpectedly meeting Ye Ming here.
This fellow, he’s not unfamiliar at all.
Back then, their Destiny Clan chose to seal themselves underground according to the outcome of the gambit.
This guy somehow learned that he could gamble the future by engaging in equivalent gambits with the Destiny Clan and came seeking them.
Faced with a customer willing to gamble, the Destiny Clan naturally wouldn’t refuse, he along with the other lineages’ Life Masters accepted this gambit.
Unfortunately, fate did not favor them, and this gambit led to significant losses.
But the Destiny Clan always honors their bets, providing the opponent with the deserved stakes.
Time flew by, unexpectedly meeting Ye Ming again, now he’s appearing as a player.
Facing Ye Ming’s inquiry, Life Throat smiled slightly:
"Destiny Clan, Dragon Sparrow Lineage Life Master: Life Throat... do you recall the equivalent gambit back then?"
Saying this, he waved his hand to gather Evil Wind, simulating a silver mask outline on his face.
With these words, Ye Ming’s eyes widened abruptly.
Memories related to the Destiny Clan surged in, the figure before him gradually overlapped with the venerable figure in his memories.
Apparently, the other used some Secret Technique to hide the dispersal waves of life breath.
Plus, having removed the silver mask, he didn’t recognize it.
As for the old wager, he clearly remembered it.
The revival of the Mingwu Clan in the present era was crucially connected to that gambit.
It was precisely this gambit that enabled them to reverse the situation, finally defeating the Wangyu Clan.
The strength of the Destiny Clan, he’s not very aware.
But it can be confirmed that each Life Master in the Destiny Clan possesses Demigod Realm strength, above them are even stronger Great Destiny Masters.
The clan’s overall strength far exceeds that of the Mingwu Clan.
Ye Ming decisively put down the wine glass, stood up, and suppressed his previous impatience, looking at Life Throat with a hint of respect:
"So it’s the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master of the Destiny Clan visiting, apologies for not recognizing."
While speaking, he placed his hand on his forehead in the manner he remembered of the Destiny Clan, as a sign of respect.
It was only at this moment that Ye Ming realized he had underestimated the depth of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.
Even the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master, who holds the reins of destiny, is willing to condescend to visit, the weight behind this is self-evident.
