Peng Wanli thought for a while, as if he was considering the words: "Let's put it this way! You must already know that each chamber of commerce is dependent on the merchant alliance, and the members of the merchant alliance have quotas, just like in Taoism.

Level A Taoism, Level B Taoism, Level C Taoism, and Level D Taoism are the same. The members of the Chamber of Commerce in the Merchant Alliance are also divided into levels."

"The different levels of Xuanmen in the Xuanmen system determine the amount of taxes you pay and the scope of your influence. The same is true for the members of the Chamber of Commerce in the Merchant Alliance, which will divide your trading quotas according to the level."

"For example, if the annual trading volume of a business alliance is 10,000 chopsticks, then each member of the business alliance will have a corresponding allocation. A Grade A Chamber of Commerce will have a quota of 5,000 chopsticks, and a Grade B Chamber of Commerce will have a quota of 3,000 chopsticks.

According to the trading volume quota, Class C Chamber of Commerce will receive a trading volume quota of two thousand chopsticks.”

"All kinds of commodities and materials have their corresponding quotas, and spiritual beasts are certainly no exception."

"Since the needs of each commodity are different, the quota is different. Take fire rats as an example. The quota allocated to Baoxing Chamber of Commerce by the Merchant Alliance is five million. That means you can only provide five million fire rats to the inland areas.

chamber of commerce, and the rest are provided by other members of the chamber of commerce.”

"The chambers of commerce in the interior only need five million fire rats from you. If there are more, they won't buy them because the market can't bear them. When the chambers of commerce allocate quotas to each chamber of commerce association members, they have done a rigorous market survey to know the market demand.

how many."

"Then the quota is allocated based on market demand. Each member of the business alliance must abide by the decision of the business alliance. This involves market stability. If violated, the business alliance will impose penalties."

"Take the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce as an example. His quota is 5 million, but if he sells 7 million, others will have to sell 2 million less, which infringes on the interests of other members of the merchant association. The entire market is so big.

The demand remains constant. If you sell more, others will not be able to sell it. This is the truth."

After listening to his words, everyone vaguely understood the meaning of the business alliance quota division. In layman's terms, it means cutting the cake.

The business alliance is responsible for doing market research to find out how big the whole cake is, and then divides the cake according to the level of the members of the business alliance, and each member chamber of commerce of the business alliance will get a corresponding piece.

Yin Qingyuan asked: "What does this have to do with our two Xuan Mo Sects in Xingang?"

Peng Wanli said: "Baoxing Chamber of Commerce received a quota of five million fire rats. Xueyu Chamber of Commerce was not a member of the merchant alliance, so it could only purchase the quota from him."

"Then the quota of five million fire rats is in the hands of the Xueyu Chamber of Commerce. They have bred three million fire rats themselves, and they still have a quota of two million fire rats that need to be distributed."

"The quota set for Xingang is 100,000, but the quota of 100,000 fire rats has been bought by the Demon Sect, so we don't have a share."

"Unless we snatch the 100,000 quota from the Demon Sect."

"Now you know why a fire rat cub needs one hundred spirit stones!"

"One million spirit stones is exactly the price of 100,000 adult fire rats. In fact, one million spirit stones is used to buy the quota of 100,000 fire rats."

Everyone suddenly realized, and then they understood why the Xueyu Chamber of Commerce offered such an outrageous price.

Tang Ning asked: "Uncle, I still have one thing that I don't understand. The Xueyu Chamber of Commerce must have spent a lot of money to purchase the quota of five million fire rats from the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce. Why don't they breed it themselves? I

It means why they only breed three million and distribute two million, they have the full strength to breed!"

Peng Wanli said: "This is the internal rule of their chamber of commerce. You can see it as a check and balance, or a compromise."

"When a chamber of commerce purchases a quota for a certain item from a member of the trade alliance, it is actually equivalent to him buying the monopoly on the item."

"Other forces will definitely not be happy. Everyone wants this monopoly, so this kind of regulation was created."

"That is, the chamber of commerce that bought the item quota can only produce 60% of the quota itself, and the remaining 40% of the quota must be distributed so that other chambers of commerce, aristocratic families, and sects can also get some quotas."

"You eat meat, and everyone has to drink some soup. This forms a community of interests and prevents each other from breaking up. Otherwise, if one person monopolizes, others will be jealous and sneak around from time to time, which can easily lead to friction."

"Business alliances are all about harmony and wealth, and they need stability. The member chambers of commerce of the trade alliance don't want their affiliated chambers of commerce to dominate, so they formulated this rule."

"The Xueyu Chamber of Commerce bought a quota of five million fire rats. He can only breed three million of them, and the other two million quotas need to be distributed to various forces. The quota left for Xingang is only one hundred thousand, and these one hundred thousand

It was bought by the Demon Sect, so we can't breed fire rats."

"I see." Tangning nodded. After Peng Wanli's words, he had a new understanding of the overall structure of the Chamber of Commerce. They have quite a few internal rules.

Yin Qingyuan asked: "If we spend one million spiritual stones to buy the quota of 100,000 fire rats, will it be a one-time or permanent effect?"

Peng Wanli said: "It is a permanent right, but each shipment requires a certain amount of tax to be paid to the Xueyu Chamber of Commerce. The Xueyu Chamber of Commerce's rule is 30% of the profit, but that is only for other powerful chambers of commerce or aristocratic families."

"For example, Crescent Sect promised them to pay 50% of the profits before buying the quota rights for 100,000 fire rats. This is only done openly, but there are still some things to do secretly."

"This extra 20% profit is actually a bribe to the person in charge of spiritual animal breeding within the chamber of commerce, otherwise why would they sell you the quota?"

Jiang Yuhuan asked: "What is the price offered by my uncle?"

Peng Wanli sighed: "We offered a price of 60% profit, but the monk from the Xueyu Chamber of Commerce who is responsible for managing the breeding of spiritual beasts still didn't agree."

The 60% profit was already twice as high as the Xueyu Chamber of Commerce's regulations, but it still failed to impress them. Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this.

Tang Ning asked: "Why? The Chamber of Commerce is doing business. Our bid is higher than that of the Demon Sect. Why don't they agree? Is there anything we can't agree on here?"

Peng Wanli said: "They didn't say anything, they just said they should think more about it and give us an accurate answer after we come back."

Tangning said: "Then there is still a chance."

Peng Wanli shook his head: "This is just talk. If something like this cannot be negotiated on the spot, it is basically a rejection. They are just using us as a bargaining chip to further squeeze the profits of the Demon Sect."

………………

After traveling for more than twenty days, the Aurora Boat left Huangyi Island and sailed into the vast sky over the Qinghai Sea.

Outside the formation of the Xue Jade Chamber of Commerce, a ray of light shot out, revealing the figure of a middle-aged elegant man with a fair face and a slightly fat figure. With a wave of his hand, the talisman entered the light curtain. After a while, the light curtain melted.

There was a gap, and the man's figure flashed into the inner room.

In the majestic and majestic cave, an elegant man followed a maid to the main room. Inside, a man with a fair complexion and a tall figure was sitting cross-legged on a futon. It was Jia Wenxun.

"Brother Xu, why are you here?" Jia Wenxun stood up and said with a smile on his face.

The elegant man bowed his head and said, "Fellow Taoist Jia, I'm sorry to bother you, but my sect sent me here to verify a piece of information with your Chamber of Commerce."

"Come on, please sit down quickly." Jia Wenxun said, turning his left hand, taking out the white jade wine bottle and wine glass, and filling up the wine: "Brother Xu has come all the way to have a taste of this third-level spiritual wine first. This

But it’s a good thing, Mr. Zhang Julai gave it to me, and I always treasure it. If Brother Xu hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have taken it out to anyone else.”

The elegant man sat down as he was told, and the two raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp. The wine entered their stomachs, and their mouths were full of fragrance. The spiritual power of the spirit sea was slightly stirred: "It is indeed a good wine. Thank you Daoist Jia for your warm treatment, but this time I am

I came here with the order of our sect’s leader, and I also ask fellow Taoists to tell the truth, have any Xingang Xuanmen monks come here recently?”

Jia Wenxun smiled: "So it was for this matter! To tell you the truth, Xingang Xuanmen Sect did send people here a few months ago to talk to us about the fire rats, but now they have left.

"

The elegant man said: "I don't know how my friend responded. Please tell me the truth. Our sect has cooperated with your Chamber of Commerce for more than fifty years. We have always been trustworthy and never broke our promises. Is your Chamber of Commerce really going to give up on our sect?"

And cooperate with Xingang Xuanmen?"

Jia Wenxun said: "Brother Xu! We have been friends for so many years. Of course I will not agree to cooperate with Xuanmen. However, I will not hide it from you. This matter is really not something I can decide."

The elegant man said: "Don't your chamber of commerce's fire rat spiritual animal breeding matters have always been handled by Taoist friends? What do you mean by these words, please make it clear."

Jia Wenxun said: "Brother Xu must know that although I am taking care of the spirit beast industry, I am just using chicken feathers as arrows. The real decision maker is Mr. Zhang Julai. I don't know what connections Xingang Xuanmen used this time.

, actually found Mr. Zhang directly and completely bypassed me. It seems that some of them have an old relationship with Mr. Zhang, so I can no longer get involved in this matter."

The elegant man looked a little unhappy when he heard this: "What do you mean, fellow Taoist? Senior Zhang of your chamber of commerce has already negotiated with Xuanmen?"

Jia Wenxun said: "No, as far as I know, Mr. Zhang has not finalized it, but he does intend to cooperate with Xingang Xuanmen. Brother Xu, it's not that I won't help you. I have tried my best on this matter. If it weren't for me,

I’ll give you some advice and good words to Mr. Zhang, and since there is a contract between you and me, I’m afraid they’ve already concluded the negotiation.”

The elegant man said: "Thank you for your kind words, fellow Taoist. I also hope that you can help me. I will introduce you to Senior Zhang. I would like to have an interview with Senior Zhang."

Jia Wenxun said: "Okay, don't worry! This matter will be taken care of by me."

"Then I won't bother you any more. I'm waiting for news from your Taoist friends at your Chamber of Commerce Inn." The man said, got up and left.
