Chapter 214 Cooperation Matters: The Situation of Two Companies
Wutong County.
In the Ding family living room.
Besides Li Xingsheng and Ding Yuanchun, there is also a beautiful woman with a graceful figure.
This female cultivator is Ding Yuanxin, the current patriarch of the Ding family.
The patriarch of a family does not necessarily need to be a male cultivator. As long as she has the strength and skills, a female cultivator can also become the patriarch of the family. However, in the world of immortal cultivation in the Five Kingdoms, most family patriarchs are still male cultivators.
If the two are at the same level and choose a clan leader, the male monk will be given priority.
The seventh level of Qi refining.
Li Xingsheng immediately noticed Ding Yuanxin's cultivation. From the appearance alone, the head of the Ding family was much younger than Ding Yuanchun.
“I heard from my second brother that Fellow Daoist Li came to our Ding family to discuss some cooperation matters?” Ding Yuanxin sat down and asked with a smile before Li Xingsheng could speak.
"Yes." Li Xingsheng nodded.
“I don’t know where our Ding family caught the attention of the Li family.” Ding Yuanxin continued to smile, as if she and Li Xingsheng were talking about a very relaxed matter, “In Xiangshui County, the Li family Even in our Wutong County, there are many monks who know the reputation of the Li family."
She also praised the Li family a few words later, but what she said was true. After all, Xiang is now. Everything in Shuijun is basically decided by the Li family, and the other foundation-building and immortal-cultivating family can only follow the Li family.
She knows more information than Ding Yuanchun. The Huang family in Xiangshui County seems to have been maintaining its relationship with the Li family.
"As far as I know, the Ding family has no backers in Wutong County." The backers Li Xingsheng was referring to were naturally the Foundation-Building Immortal Cultivation Family, and the other party would definitely understand.
"Does Daoyou Li's family want to become our backer?"
"No, I'm here to cooperate with you. If the Ding family wants to become an affiliated force of our family, I will tell you about it after I get back."
In the second half of the sentence, Li Xingsheng was just saying that this is Wutong County, not Xiangshui County. It would be detrimental to the Ding family to become a subsidiary force of their family, but it would be more beneficial to the Li family. .
The Qi Refining and Immortal Cultivation Family will become an affiliated force of the Foundation Establishing Immortal Cultivation Family. The main thing they want to seek is the protection of the Foundation Establishing Immortal Cultivation Family. If they are not within the influence of this Foundation Establishing Immortal Cultivation Family, such protection will not be enough. There is no meaning.
Compared with the previous Li family, the current scope of influence of the Li family has been greatly expanded, but it is still in Xiangshui County.
It can be said that the Qi Refining and Immortal Cultivation Clan in Xiangshui County is not disadvantaged by being affiliated with the Li family. The closer it is to the Li family, the more it should become their affiliated force.
"I won't bother you, Fellow Daoist Li. Our Ding family is doing well as it is now, and we are not considering affiliation." Regardless of whether Li Xingsheng came to test her, cooperation can be considered depending on the situation, but affiliation is definitely not Maybe, "Even in Wutong County, the Ding family has not become a subsidiary force of other immortal cultivating families."
At the end of the sentence, Ding Yuanxin also emphasized a sentence, which was a clear statement of his attitude.
If the Li family is going around the bush to convince the Ding family to become a subsidiary force of the Li family, it is a meaningless thing and she will never agree to it.
As the head of the Ding family, she knew very well that becoming a cultivating family affiliated with the Li family would not only make it difficult to obtain basic and timely protection, but more importantly, such an identity could not be given in Wutong County. Family brings convenience.
The influence of the Li family cannot currently affect Wutong County. The robbery cultivators in Xiangshui County may be afraid of the Li family. They will basically not touch the forces related to the Li family, while the robbery cultivators in Wutong County will not give the Li family face. Something like that.
"Let's not talk about it then. Let's talk about cooperation." Li Xingsheng smiled, he had no such plan in the first place.
When discussing with the Thirteenth Uncle, he mentioned this matter, but the Thirteenth Uncle said that this is a meaningless thing in itself. The Ding family of Wutong County will definitely not agree, so just say it. Some possible cooperation matters,
"Okay." Ding Yuanxin nodded, "How does Li Daoyou want to cooperate?"
As the head of the Ding family, when encountering such a thing, you must first listen. Listen, can the Ding family fulfill the conditions proposed by the other party? If they can't do anything, refusing is the best choice.
The Li family is not stupid either. If they just want to get benefits, it would be best if they can't get anything done. When the cooperation finally breaks down, they will be in danger.
No Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating family would want to be targeted by a foundation-building force.
“What we want is all kinds of information from Wutong County. Your Ding family must provide it at least twice a year. The information can be collected within your capabilities, especially information on changes in important forces. This You have to tell us as soon as possible..."
If you cooperate with the Foundation Establishing Immortal Cultivation Family, it is almost impossible to get all their information. The other party will probably hide some. If the hidden information is key information, it will be impossible. Okay, and the other party is just a Qi-refining family. Although their ability to collect intelligence will be weaker, they will not choose to hide it.
Concealing it would do them no good, as they might have to bear the wrath of the Foundation Establishing Immortal Cultivation Family.
"...and our Li family can help you deal with the Zeng family."
The Zeng family is also a Qi refining and immortality force in Wutong County and the Ding family cannot deal with it.
This is some information found by the Li family. As for whether the Ding family wants to eliminate the Zeng family, this may only be known to the inner members of the Li family.
"That's it." Ding Yuanxin did not agree or refuse immediately, but began to think.
She seemed to understand what the Li family wanted to do.
If she guessed correctly, the Li family came to the Ding family just to use the help of the Ding family to participate in the power disputes in Wutong County.
The purpose of the Li family must be to expand... and according to the information she learned, it has not been particularly long since the Li family took over Xiangshui County, and now the Li family wants to intervene in Wutong County.
This shows how ambitious the Li family is.
There are definitely risks in cooperating with such a family, but once the Li family succeeds, the Ding family will also gain a lot of benefits.
They have heard the reputation of the Li family. Normally, if they help the Li family, the Li family will repay them later and will not kick them away directly.
"There is no need to deal with the Zeng family at the moment." The Ding family and the Zeng family have conflicts, but they have not yet reached the point of destroying each other. Judging from the tone of Li Xingsheng's words, the Li family can help them destroy the Zeng family.
"It may not be necessary now, but no one can say for sure in the future. As long as Chief Ding is willing to cooperate, what I said will always be valid. If we, the Li family, need help to deal with the Zeng family, we can just say it."
"It can be seen that Li Daoyou is very sincere." Ding Yuanxin felt comfortable listening to what Li Xingsheng said. If the Ding family and Zeng's conflict became bigger in the future, they might indeed use this, and naturally she would not Meaning of rejection.
Because in her heart, she does not dislike cooperating with the Li family.
The main reason is that the Li family has a good reputation. In this way, when both parties cooperate, there will definitely be some basic stability.
Of course, she is also aware of the risks with the Li family. The introduction of foreign foundation-building and immortal cultivation forces is risky in itself and is not conducive to the survival of the Ding family in Wutong County.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I want to ask you something. I will make a choice after I know the answer."
"Please tell me."
"The Li family will come to see you. Our Ding family?”
“The only Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating family is your Ding family.” Li Xingsheng thought for a while and said, this can be told, but whether the cooperation with the foundation-building immortal family will be successful is up to him. We don’t know yet, and there is no need to inform the current Ding family. At present, the head of the Ding family has not agreed.
"In this case, we agree to cooperate on behalf of the Ding family, but there is one condition." Ding Yuanxin stood up and said, with Li Xingsheng's words, they are more likely to get benefits in the future.
Their advantage is naturally that when the Li family completely affects Wutong County, by then cooperating with the Li family will be equivalent to being protected by the Li family, and they will not have to pay tribute every year. You must know that the annual tribute and the consumption of spiritual stones are also a large amount, especially for the Li family, which now has five foundation-building monks.
"Every five years, the Li family needs to refine a high-quality magic weapon for us for free, and we will provide the materials." Ding Yuanxin knew that the Li family had a foundation-building period weapon refiner.
It takes five years to refine one piece. This condition is not excessive, and she knows it well.
"Okay." Li Xingsheng nodded.
Ding Yuanxin did not touch the bottom line informed by Thirteenth Uncle at all.
This shows that the head of the Ding family knows how to measure. If the conditions hit the bottom line, he will directly refuse to leave.
Cooperation must be sincere. The Li family is full of sincerity. If you don’t know how to deal with greed, there will naturally be no need to continue the negotiation. When cooperating with such a patriarch leading a family, the potential risks will be higher.
You must make your own judgment on this matter.
If he didn't even have this judgment, Li Qianqing wouldn't be able to trust him with this task.
"Happy cooperation!" Li Xingsheng also stood up and came to the head of the Ding family. At this time, Ding Yuanchun did not continue to sit.
When talking about cooperation, he didn't say anything during the whole process, because the patriarch handled it very well and there was nothing wrong with it. If he felt there was a problem, he would definitely speak up.
"I will definitely do it." Ding Yuanxin smiled.
Their cooperation is verbal. The sincerity and reputation of both parties are very important. When the Qi refining force and the foundation building force cooperate, the former is destined to be the weaker party.
The next thing the two of them talked about was some details.
Then Ding Yuanxin sent Li Xingsheng away. At this time, Ding Yuanchun did not go with him, but was waiting for the clan leader to return.
"Sixth sister, Li Xingsheng agreed readily, I think you want less."
After Ding Yuanxin came back, Ding Yuanchun said, the more he thought about it, the more he felt a pity, It would be nice if I asked for more.
If Li Xingsheng hadn’t agreed so readily, maybe he wouldn’t have thought this way.
"Second brother, these are enough. It's not good for us to have too many. We have foundation-building monks to help us refine high-grade magic weapons. Most of the refined magic weapons are of the highest quality. When it comes to magic weapons, we will It can save a lot of spiritual stones.”
“Of course these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that if this cooperation goes well, the development of our Ding family will also be smooth in the future. Maybe we will become The top qi refining family..."
Ding Yuanxin thinks about the future, this is all if everything goes well.
There are certain risks in doing anything. Compared with the benefits, this risk can be taken. The key is that the reputation of the Li family is worthy of their cooperation.
"Okay, you are right."
……
Some time ago.
Before Li Xingsheng arrived at Ding’s house, Li Qianqing had already arrived at Ma’s house.
The sky is bright at this time.
Compared with the cooperation with the Qi Refining Cultivation Cultivation Family, the cooperation with the Foundation Establishment Cultivation Cultivation Family will be more helpful for them to intervene in the power disputes in Wutong County. Li Xingsheng's cooperation with the Qi Refining and Immortal Cultivation Family could fail, but he must succeed in this one.
The Ma family at least sent people to attend the foundation banquet, and wanted to make good friends with them. Cooperation should not be possible, after all, they would not make excessive demands.
Li Qianqing has always believed that the basis of cooperation is mutual benefit and win-win. Only such cooperation can be long-term. When he planned to cooperate with the Ma family, he had already thought of many things that would benefit the Ma family.
"Foundation-building monk."
The monk guarding the mountain gate of the Ma family couldn't help but murmured when he saw the monk falling from the sky in the distance, and then he waited for Li Qianqing to come over.
The Ma family is a foundation-building and immortal-cultivating family, and there are also foundation-building monks. If they were a Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating family, he would have run over to greet them now.
When Li Qianqing walked to the mountain gate, he asked.
"May I ask who the senior is?" He has never seen this foundation-building monk, nor has he seen a portrait, so he is probably not a monk from their Wutong County.
"Li Qianqing of the Li family needs to see the head of your family, please inform me."
"No trouble, senior, you're welcome." Hearing this, Ma Huanghao felt a lot of affection for Li Qianqing. , no monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage has spoken to him like this, "I will go and inform the clan leader, senior, wait here."
He moved very quickly, and suddenly disappeared.
He was stopped before he arrived at the clan leader's cave.
"Huang Hao, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Uncle Jiu, I'm going to see the clan leader. Senior Li Qianqing of the Li family is at the foot of the mountain." Ma Huanghao stopped and answered. .
There are two foundation-building stage monks in the Ma family. In addition to the patriarch, Ma Xuanzong, who has not entered the foundation-building stage for a long time, called his ninth uncle.
"Li Qianqing came to us..." Ma Xuanzong thought for a moment, and then said, "You ask the patriarch to go to the living room first, and I will go down the mountain to pick him up."
"Yes, Uncle Jiu."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Huanghao once again used the lightening technique to go to the clan leader's cave.
And Ma Xuanzong disappeared where he was.
Li Qianqing, whose reputation in the Li family was second only to the patriarch, came to the Ma family during the foundation-building period of the Li family. Ma Xuanzong was quite curious about what he was doing in the Ma family.
This reminded him of a piece of news. Two Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families in Xiangshui County who were previously affiliated with the Jiang family had their miniature spiritual veins removed by the Li family.
This news is basically known to the foundation-building and immortal-cultivating families in the neighboring counties, but many Qi-refining families don't know it. The news from the neighboring counties will only reach their ears unless it is particularly important and the monks are discussing it intensely. Also, they have to communicate with the foundation-building and immortal-cultivating families. Just like the family, you will only learn such news after paying attention to some trends in the Li family.
