Chapter 90: The Cooperation of the Trading Firm, the Family of Medicinal Pills
Compared to Su Yi’s cultivation, the Nie family branch was not idle.
These past few days, Nie Ling had practically taken a stroll through the aristocratic families of the Central Plains.
However, only a few were able to come to the branch to negotiate.
The other aristocratic families were all either trying to curry favor with the Thousand Treasures Pavilion, or colluding with the Thousand Treasures Pavilion. This angered Nie Ling to death.
At this moment, in one of the pavilions of the Nie family’s trading firm.
There was a side room here. In the side room, Nie Ling and shopkeeper Wei were sitting at a tea table facing an old man.
This was the aristocratic family that Nie Ling wanted to discuss today, the Yun family of Horizon City.
.
This aristocratic family had been doing business for generations. Although they were not as famous as her Nie family’s trading firm, they were like local tyrants in Horizon City.
If they were to make a deal with the Yun family, then the matter of the Nie family branch would basically be resolved. On the tea table, one could see that the old man’s face was thin, and a trace of craftiness flashed across his tiny rat eyes.
Nie Ling’s jade-like lips opened slightly, and the maid beside her poured a cup of tea for the old man. After that, the old man looked at Nie Ling with a smile and said indifferently, “Miss Nie, it’s not impossible for our Yun family to cooperate with your Nie family branch.”
“Regarding this medicinal pill, every month, you have to take out this number of high-grade medicinal pills to provide to our Yun family.”
As he spoke, the old man stretched out a palm and raised five fingers. His wrinkled face still had that faint smile.
“Five high-grade foundation establishment pills! Elder Yun, are you joking?”
They all knew the value of foundation establishment pills, and this high-grade foundation establishment pill’s value was even more extraordinary.
Seeing this, Nie Ling frowned and somewhat shouted.
However, very quickly, she suppressed her anger and continued speaking. “Elder Yun, didn’t we agree previously that as long as we provide two high-grade foundation establishment pills every month, you will agree to carry out the material transaction with our Nie family branch?”
A trace of anger could be seen in her eyes. She was a little angry that these profiteers were raising their prices.
The current situation of their Nie family branch was not good, but these aristocratic families were still as unscrupulous as before. Compared to before, they were even more unscrupulous.
In their eyes, the Nie family branch was already on the verge of collapse. If they wanted to find a way out, they had to find a way out above these aristocratic families.
This point was firmly grasped by the Yun clan elder. Their Yun clan was a business clan, although they were not as famous as the Nie clan branch and the Thousand Treasures Pavilion. However, in Horizon City, he, the local snake, was much more ferocious than the dragon.
This was especially so for the Nie clan branch, which had a request.
The Yun clan elder smiled and said, “Miss Nie, look at the current situation in Horizon City. The Thousand Treasures Pavilion has their eyes on your Nie family branch. If Our Yun family wants to cooperate with you, we will have to bear a huge risk.”
Hearing this, Nie Ling gently took a deep breath. Her expression returned to normal, and then she said lightly, “elder Yun is right. In terms of foundation establishment pills, we can only provide two high-grade foundation establishment pills at most. We can also provide ten mid-grade foundation establishment pills.”
Nie Ling’s eyes were filled with determination. This was the biggest concession she could make.
If she were to follow the words of this Yun family elder and provide five foundation establishment pills every month, she would only be able to maintain it for two months.
Right now, her nNe family branch wanted a long-term and stable supply, so she naturally could not casually agree.
She did not expect that the moment these words came out, the Yun family elder’s face would turn cold. After that, he coldly said, “Miss Nie, right now, it’s your Nie family branch that is in trouble, and it’s also your Nie family branch that is asking for help. The conditions are naturally not something your Nie family branch can raise.”
“Today, I’ll say it here. If your Nie family is unable to pay this price, then today’s discussion shall end here.”
“I can see that your Nie family branch doesn’t have the slightest bit of sincerity. There’s no need for my Yun family to cooperate with a branch that is in imminent danger. This old man will take his leave.”
As he spoke, the old man’s face turned slightly cold as he stood up and left the loft.
However, he had not even taken a few steps when the Yun family elder stopped again. He had his back facing Nie Ling as he spoke with a sinister tone.
“Miss Nie, this old man can mention something here. If this old man leaves this place, the next time won’t be as simple as five high-grade pills.”
Hearing this, Nie Ling’s expression turned completely cold. She finally understood.
The aristocratic families in Horizon City had probably colluded with the Thousand Treasures Pavilion long ago. These past few days, the aristocratic families that she had been able to find had either demanded exorbitant prices or simply disappeared.
Thinking up to this point, Nie Ling’s beautiful eyes focused, and then she shouted in a low voice, “someone, send the guest out!”
After saying this, she sat down on the chair, her eyes somewhat helpless. She looked at shopkeeper Wei and said in a low voice.
“Shopkeeper Wei, it’s been hard on you these past few days.”
These past few days, this middle-aged woman, shopkeeper Wei, had been accompanying her to run around. She did not really care. After all, she was a foundation establishment cultivator.
However, shopkeeper Wei herself was only at the sixth or seventh level of qi condensation. How could she withstand running around like this?
Shopkeeper Wei also looked at Nie Ling with extreme gentleness, her eyes flashing with gentleness.
She had practically seen this Young Miss of hers since she was young. No matter what kind of thoughts she had, how could she hide them from her?
Currently, Nie Ling really had no other way. She gently stroked Nie Ling’s smooth hair and said gently, “Young Miss, to be able to do this under the Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s targeted threats is already very impressive. It’s just that this time, the heavens haven’t given you what you wanted.”
“If there’s a chance in the future, it’ll be good to win another round.”
“Mm…”
Nie Ling leaned on shopkeeper Wei’s body. She was really tired. With her age, dealing with those old demons who had been in business for decades was indeed a little strenuous.
Now, she was a little tired. It was because her heart was tired. Among them, she was even more afraid of disappointing Su Yi.
Suddenly, just as Nie Ling’s thoughts were drifting, a servant came to the private room outside the attic and delivered a message.
“Miss, shopkeeper, there’s a guest downstairs who specifically wants to meet the person in charge here.”
On the balcony, shopkeeper Wei responded softly. She stood up slightly and then said to Nie Ling lightly, “Miss, you’re very tired today. Let me go see this person.”
She did not expect Nie Ling to stand up straight and say calmly with a straight gaze, “no, let me do it.”
After saying this, she stood up and walked downstairs.
In the main hall of the Nie family branch, there were two young cultivators, a man and a woman. The man was elegant and graceful, wearing a Daoist robe and holding a fan in his hand. He had a refined and elegant demeanor.
The woman could not be said to be devastatingly beautiful, but she was also incomparably beautiful, enough to support a disaster.
Nie Ling, who was walking down, looked at these two unfamiliar figures and asked indifferently, “may I know what important matters the two guests have for coming to our Nie family’s trading company today?”
After seeing Nie Ling come down in front of them, the elegant male cultivator cupped his hands and said, “you must be the manager here. Let me introduce myself. I am Dan Tian, from the Dan family, which is the family of medicinal pills, of the central sky region.”
