Protect Our Chief-Chapter 555 - 37: Master’s Responsibility! I’ll Take It~_2

No wonder.

On Earth, where Wang Shouzhe originally came from, logistics like cold chain systems, postal services, and express delivery were highly developed. Although Wang Shouzhe hadn’t specifically studied these, he had become familiar with many advanced concepts due to the abundance of information.

"Cousin, I understood most of what you said." Being young, Gongsun Yan was quick to catch on and posed questions, "There are two issues: first, can the academy’s flying chariots be chartered out? Second, is Yuwen Family’s Hundred Flavors Inn willing to collaborate with us?"

"The first issue requires Liyao and Luojing to resolve. Given their abilities and status, it shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve already informed them of this," Wang Shouzhe had it planned in his mind, "Besides, renting flying chariots is only a temporary measure, as our marriage alliance is set to produce and maintain spiritual bird flying chariots ourselves."

"The second, we can negotiate with Yuwen Family’s Hundred Flavors Inn. If negotiations fail, it’s no big deal. With access to fresh ingredients from various regions, we could open high-end restaurants similar to Hundred Flavors Inn, quickly gaining an advantage. I’m opting to cooperate with them because I prefer not to create too many enemies and hope for mutual profits. Don’t be fooled by Lady Bilian’s demeanor; she is actually very shrewd and foresighted."

Once everyone had absorbed Wang Shouzhe’s ideas, they truly appreciated the brilliance of this strategic plan. While it couldn’t replace the Qiaan Family’s advantage in mass goods transportation, it would carve out a substantial piece from traditional Qiaan industries by focusing on high-value small-scale goods transport.

Immediately, everyone was excited.

"Additionally, the grain seeds produced by Changning Guard are transported inland by Qiaan Family to major production regions. The difficulty of establishing a land route there is enormous; instead, we should bypass Qiaan Family’s main battleground," Wang Shouzhe elaborated, "Look at this maritime route: starting from East Sea Guard, traveling along the coast, passing through five guards, we can foster good relations with them and distribute some of our products. Eventually, the route leads to Liaoyuan County."

"Liaoyuan County is rich in iron ore, timber, and has vast fertile lands. Most importantly, Liaoyuan County is home to a strong sixth-grade Noble Family, the Liaoyuan Fang Family! Our Purple Mansion Academy’s Senior Brother Faang You’an is a key member of the Liaoyuan Fang Family. Senior Brother You’an, aiming to tread the Purple Mansion path as a Celestial Pride, is a crucial pillar and support for Fang Family."

"From what I gather, Liaoyuan Fang Family ambitiously seeks to advance to a fifth-grade Noble Family. Collaborating with them to promote grain seeds and other products in Liaoyuan County is hugely beneficial for both parties. Senior Brother You’an, for the sake of his family’s interest and rise, will likely be willing to secretly facilitate this cooperation."

"Through collaboration with Liaoyuan Fang Family, we can greatly offload our current production of grain seeds, preventing significant losses from severing ties with Qiaan Family."

"Cousin, what a clever plan." Lua Xiaoxiao praised brightly, "Previously, those Noble Families purchasing grain seeds from Qiaan Family will face difficulties too. As Cousin once said, it’s easy to transition from frugality to luxury, but hard from luxury to frugality. Those cooperating families saw huge gains with our grain seeds, and once cut off, their output will vastly decrease, leaving them unadapted. They will undoubtedly harbor strong dissatisfaction towards Qiaan Family!"

"Qiaan Xuerui is ultimately too young; he only sees the monopoly of Qiaan’s Trading Company channels without realizing that when products are extremely powerful, channels are merely supplementary, not decisive," Wang Shouzhe said with a smile. "Thus, all products under our marriage alliance will cut off any commercial cooperation with Qiaan Family, letting them experience the taste of being sanctioned."

Wang Shouzhe spoke with ease and confidence. Had it been twenty years ago, Wang Family and the marriage alliance would have been too weak, holding gold bricks but not daring to flaunt them. But what is Wang Family’s situation now?

Within Changning Guard, they are virtually the dominant force, and their influence across the entire Six Southern Guards is also very significant. In addition, they have a strong backing within the academy.

Even a strong entity like Qiaan Family must only dare to suppress Wang Family using ’legitimate’ commercial means. As for using martial power to suppress, that’s a joke. Now that Wang Family’s Wang Liyao is the direct disciple of the Purple Mansion Academy’s dean!

If she stood up against Qiaan Family, even if the dean avoided involvement, who would dare harm her? Among her peers in Qiaan Family, who could compete with Wang Liyao? Even ordinary Celestial Human Realm Elders might not be able to deal with her.

Wang Liyao alone could disrupt the daily operations of the entire Qiaan Family.

At this stage, Wang Shouzhe can readily unleash some of his commercial tactics. With the premise of "fair competition," combined with insights from two lifetimes, what does he have to fear?

As Wang Shouzhe and the marriage alliance formulated this plan and began deployment,

inside Purple Mansion Academy.

Yuan Shui Ascendant, Lady Illusion Butterfly, and Master Xuan Yao gathered together, joined at the table by the dean’s newly accepted treasured direct disciple Wang Liyao.

Due to her special status, even as merely a Spirit Platform Realm direct disciple, she was qualified to sit among distinguished Ascendants, enjoying a unique position despite being at the end of the table.

At this moment, Yuan Shui Ascendant spoke gently, "Liyao, Junior Sister, you invited us to gather; what is the purpose?" He looked at Wang Liyao, feeling a complex mix of emotions, with countless thoughts swirling inside. A perfectly promising Great Celestial Pride disciple suddenly became a junior sister, a psychological shift hard to reconcile even after decades.
