Chapter 1993 Greed
"Hongyeling's business..." Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and replied, "Our business is quite diverse. How about you learn about it first?"
"This is... okay," Duan Bowen was a little amused. Is this a cooperative attitude?
But it depends on who said it. If Hongye Ling said this, it means that his attitude is already very good.
At least it involves the other party's business, and he has the power to choose. But now he cannot choose, so he can only blame himself for not knowing enough.
Moreover, Lord Qu Ling is qualified to say this, and with his strength, it is not considered as disrespectful.
Duan Bowen didn't feel any resentment at all. Instead, he smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I have to think about it carefully."
After thinking for a while, he asked again, "What about the business between Dongsheng and Zhongzhou..."
"No way?" Qu Jianlei looked at him strangely, "Are you planning to help others sneak across the border?"
"That's not what I meant," Duan Bowen shook his head. No one could protect him if he helped a large number of people to smuggle at this critical juncture.
He said shamelessly, "I mean, can you give my family a ride when you go back and forth?"
As the atmosphere in Dongsheng was becoming increasingly strange, he had planned before returning not to go to Dongsheng in the short term.
But when he saw that Lord Qu Ling could travel frequently to Dongsheng, his mind became active again.
I didn’t go to Dongsheng before, not because I didn’t want to go, but because I was worried that it would be too inconvenient to travel there - I took a lot of detours last time.
Now that we can take the Hongyeling line and travel quickly and safely, what are we hesitating about?
Qu Jianlei looked at him helplessly, "Although you helped us cross the sea, isn't this a bit presumptuous?"
"A little bit," Duan Bowen hesitated, but did not deny it. After all, the other party had too many secrets.
But then he said, "But the war is coming, and this is a good time to make a lot of money."
He had witnessed with his own eyes the frenzy with which various parties stockpiled goods during the preparation stage for war.
"To make this money..." Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and shook his head slowly, "We don't really want to participate."
"It's not what you think," Duan Bowen replied seriously, "I admire Hongyeling's integrity and integrity."
"It's not that I have to make this money, but when the war breaks out, the biggest disaster is the shortage of supplies, which has nothing to do with the price!"
"I can sell at a fair price and not make any money, but other peers will no longer have the motivation to make money, so there are only two possibilities."
"The biggest possibility is that I will be killed. There is also a smaller possibility... that it will cause Dongsheng to run out of war supplies!"
He was speaking confidently when Claire came over and said, "Boss, the Immortal Sanshi wants to see you."
When the Immortal Sanshi came to the door, he followed the rules. After informing everyone, he put away the flying boat and stood at the door waiting.
There was no other choice, so Qu Jianlei could only bring Qing Hu to the door to greet them.
Logically speaking, Qing Hu is also a Nascent Soul, so he can come alone to greet the guests and take them to see the boss.
However, Qu Jianlei guessed the other party's intention, so he stopped putting on airs. If it was a normal social interaction, it wouldn't hurt to give the other party some face.
When Immortal Sanshi saw Qu Jianlei appear, he opened his eyes wide in shock, obviously a little surprised.
Then he smiled and bowed, with a bit of bitterness on his face, "Master Qu Ling, you hid it from me so badly."
As expected, I know! Qu Jianlei smiled and said, "When you travel outside, you won't use the family's name, right?"
The origin of Thirty True Immortals was not particularly secret. At least others could be sure that he had no family in Daye City.
When Qu Jianlei gave his name, he did not hide anything. The other party's ability to obtain information was limited, so it couldn't be blamed on him.
As expected, Immortal Sanshi's complaint was just an opening remark.
He smiled and said, "Yes, I was wondering when such a person would appear in Liuguang City. I didn't expect that he is the owner of the repair fluid."
"The repair fluid is hard to come by," Qu Jianlei answered casually, then waved his hand, "Fellow Daoist, please come in."
Immortal Sanshi came to the courtyard and sat down. Just as he was about to speak, he couldn't help but glance at Duan Bowen who was not far away.
He frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Qu Jianlei, "Is this fellow Taoist... also from your sect?"
"Sanshi, stop pretending," Duan Bowen said calmly, "I don't believe you didn't recognize me."
"Haha, it turns out to be Fellow Daoist Bo Wen!" Immortal Sanshi laughed heartily, "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist is also familiar with the owner of this place."
"Okay, my name here is Wenbo," Duan Bowen replied casually, "I met Master Qu Ling in Dongsheng."
When he was active in the eastern part of Zhongzhou, he always called himself Wenbo. Since he was in this line of work, it was normal for him to use a pseudonym.
However, he chose this pseudonym so casually that one can imagine that it was just to suit the occasion.
Any Yuanying from a slightly older background could basically guess what kind of business he was in, it was just a fake and no one knew it.
The Immortal Sanshi directly pointed out his real name, and the meaning was very clear: I know your situation very well.
So Duan Bowen stopped pretending - I just travel between Dongsheng and Zhongzhou, so what?
Immortal Sanshi nodded indifferently, "It is a great fortune for Daoist Wenbo to get to know Master Qu Ling."
This may seem like a compliment, but it actually has a hint of hostility.
If Duan Bowen didn't know Hongye Ling, he would probably be more polite when facing him, one of the founders of the Five Friends Alliance.
Immortal Bowen did not respond when he heard this. He knew Immortal Sanshi's temper, and it was enough for him to express his dissatisfaction appropriately.
He didn't want to show up frequently in the eastern part of Zhongzhou in order to reduce unnecessary trouble.
The Five Friends Alliance, which has at least five Nascent Souls, is one of the forces he does not want to provoke.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Qu Jianlei took the initiative to speak up, "I wonder if Daoist Sanshi has any advice for you?"
"I don't deserve your teachings," Immortal Sanshi smiled and waved his hand.
He could ignore Duan Bowen, but he really didn't dare to offend Hongyeling easily.
"I was also shocked to hear about Fellow Daoist Qu's deeds, so I came here to make friends with him and to get some information."
Qu Jianlei glanced at Duan Bowen and found that he had no intention of avoiding the question, so he spoke directly.
"We have been friends for a long time. What are you talking about? I don't know... what information do you want to find out?"
"There are a lot of things I want to ask," Sanshi Zhenxian also glanced at Duan Bowen, thinking why are you so tactless?
However, considering that the two parties had known each other for a long time and there might be some interests involved, he didn't want to offend them.
Then let's just pretend that this person doesn't exist. "I want to know first, is this space repair fluid...really not negotiable?"
Qu Jianlei slowly shook his head upon hearing this, "Let me be frank. Even if we want to talk, we can't talk to the Five Friends Alliance. You were formed too recently."
Master Sanshi understood what he heard. The length of time was just a polite way of putting it. To be more precise, it was because their own strength was not enough.
But what they said is indeed not a problem. In Zhongzhou, the Five Friends Alliance is just a medium-sized force, at most relatively large.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just say that Daye City, which is currently discussing restarting the Sky Locking Array, is stronger than the Five Friends Alliance.
The Five Friends Alliance can flourish and radiate to other large urban areas, which means Daye City has too much to worry about.
If they develop normally, Daye City will definitely not pay attention, but if they do things too dishonorably, the City Lord's Mansion will naturally intervene.
So since Hongyeling has this attitude, there is really no way to discuss this matter.
So the Immortal Sanshi asked another question, "I heard that there is a device in Hongye Ridge that is the nemesis of the demons... It's quite magical?"
"It's better than nothing," Qu Jianlei nodded, "Does Daoist Sanshi have any samples?"
"Sample?" Immortal Sanshi was stunned at first, then he came to his senses, "Daoyou, are you saying that it has spread to Zhongzhou?"
"I'm not sure about this either," Qu Jianlei smiled noncommittally, "Maybe."
He was really not sure, but since such a rare repair fluid could be smuggled into Zhongzhou, why couldn't the probe be smuggled?
As for the fact that this is an item that Dongsheng urgently needs, there is no reason for it to be smuggled to Zhongzhou?
Qu Jianlei is willing to believe that most people in Dongsheng are good, but he will never underestimate the bottom line of some individuals.
However, Immortal Sanshi misunderstood. He looked at Duan Bowen thoughtfully, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Daoyou Bowen..."
"Don't worry," Bo Wen Zhenxian waved his hand and said calmly, "I didn't do such a thing, but I can't guarantee that others didn't do it."
Immortal Sanshi did not doubt his words. After all, Qu Jianlei was sitting here. How could the other party dare to lie to him and also to Lord Qu Ling?
So he nodded slightly, "What Fellow Daoist Qu said is possible, but what does this matter of quality refer to?"
Before Qu Jianlei could speak, Duan Bowen spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Sanshi, the meaning is so obvious, don't you understand?"
Immortal Sanshi blinked his eyes and nodded slightly, "It doesn't mean that I misjudged the role of the Demon Nemesis... Got it!"
"The Five Friends Alliance didn't get this kind of equipment. Daoyou Qu is saying that our information capabilities are a little weaker?"
"About the same," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "To put it bluntly, can your alliance handle such a large business?"
Then, Duan Bowen spread his hands and said, "I have never even thought about this business. Fellow Daoist Sanshi should think twice!"
"That does make sense," Immortal Sanshi nodded thoughtfully.
He had not thought before that he would meet Qu Jianlei on this trip, and he really came here to deepen their friendship, without carefully considering the risks involved.
But when the other party reminded him, he reacted instantly and realized that this business was not something that ordinary people could take on.
However, the Five Friends Alliance is ultimately stronger than Duan Bowen, and after operating for hundreds of years, it has also gained some support.
So he straightened his face and looked at Qu Jianlei, "This business is indeed huge, but... are you willing to support us?"
The strength of the Five Friends Alliance is indeed a little lacking, but Hongye Ridge is the producer of items.
If Lord Qu Ling could clearly state that the business would be handed over to the Five Friends Alliance, their pressure would be greatly reduced.
You...really dare to answer it! Qu Jianlei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, people die for money and birds die for food.
