Chapter 2306 - 2306 2296 Yanmen Commerce Association

2306: Chapter 2296: Yanmen Commerce Association 2306: Chapter 2296: Yanmen Commerce Association Long Yan merely smiled after glancing at the content on the paper; money did not hold such importance in his eyes, he merely needed a big power as a mediator, merely as a personal capital.

“You can decide this, I don’t need it.”

Hearing Long Yan’s words, Zhang Tianmen was rather surprised, wondering what the motives of this young man in front of him were if not for money.

“Alright then.”

The firm attitude of Long Yan made Zhang Tianmen sigh, as in his view, Long Yan would not stop just there; it seemed he had even greater ambitions, but regarding himself, who was already half-buried in the earth, he didn’t care about much.

“Tell me about the main forces within Saint Que.”

Long Yan sat in the chair across Zhang Tianmen, picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip.

Zhang Tianmen did not refuse, although he didn’t know why Long Yan wanted him to explain things that every three-year-old child on the continent knew about, many years of business had taught him one principle: it was unnecessary to ask why.

In the entire Sacred Continent, there were quite a few forces, starting with their own town, which was insignificant in the grand scheme of the continent.

To the north lay Miaojiang, the territory of the Gu Clan, not the same clan, but with trading relations, somewhat like allies.

The territory under their feet, known as Ying City, is the northernmost city because it is located remotely but is an important trade route with the Miao Clan, hence owning two competing chambers of commerce, and it belongs to the Qin Dynasty.

Of course, the Qin Dynasty was only one of the three major dynasties on this continent, located in the center, with the Chu Dynasty on the left and the Qi Dynasty on the right.

These were the usual divisions of power among ordinary people on the continent; of course, the number of cultivating sects was also countless.

The most famous ones included the Eastern Ancient Clan of the Qin Dynasty, the Sacred Beast Clan of the Qi Dynasty, and the Emperor Clan of the Chu Dynasty.

These three sects also covertly support the major dynasties’ powers, and there are also many smaller sects; Long Yan listened carefully.

Each force on the entire continent did not encroach on others, much like the ancient division into Wei, Shu, and Wu, achieving a balance among the three.

As for the Qin Dynasty, it was the smallest territory-wise among the three dynasties but was the one no one dared to provoke.

Behind them, the Eastern Ancient Clan mostly consisted of recluses aloof from fame and wealth, yet not to be trifled with.

There was once a minor sect in Chu Country that wanted to replace the Eastern Ancient Clan as one of the three big powers; but as soon as their great army started to mobilize, the entire mountain range where their sect was based instantly turned into a mountain of death.

The existing army of one hundred thousand turned into a handful of yellow dirt in an instant; this move shocked the entire Sacred Domain; since then, no one dared challenge the Eastern Ancient Clan.

As for the Emperor Clan, since the Eastern Ancient Clan did not wish to form marital alliances, they naturally reached out to the Azure Dragon Family of the Sacred Beast Clan in the north.

Listening to Zhang Tianmen’s slow explanations, Long Yan gained some understanding of the power division throughout the entire continent: three great dynasties, three major sects, and countless first-class powers, of course, all residing in their own small towns.

Hearing this, Long Yan couldn’t help but reflect; indeed, the Sacred Domain was a holy land for cultivators, metaphorically paved with gold.

Of course, such intricate and complex power dynamics could not hinder Long Yan; currently, the Heavenly Gate Chamber of Commerce was unrivaled in Ying City, with few other nearby cities able to compete with the Heavenly Gate Chamber of Commerce.

“By the way, Young Hero Long, since you have become a Guardian of my Heavenly Gate Chamber of Commerce, I also want to rename the Heavenly Gate Chamber of Commerce.”

Zhang Tianmen’s idea was simple, which was to cling tightly to Long Yan’s coattails and not let go, as the little old man in front of him believed that Long Yan would take the Heavenly Gate Chamber of Commerce to greater heights.

“Do you have any good ideas?”

Although Long Yan did not care about such matters, since it was about finding a power belonging to himself, therefore the suggestion was still fine.

“How about renaming it to Yanmen Commerce Association?”

Zhang Tianmen looked at Long Yan with an inquiring gaze, seemingly asking how he found his proposal; Long Yan thought for a moment and then nodded slightly, finding the name quite suitable.

“Then let’s call it Yanmen.”

Zhang Tianmen slowly exhaled, if Long Yan agreed, that would of course be the best.

Things would be simple afterwards.

Under the grandiose ceremony, the Heavenly Gate Chamber of Commerce was formally renamed to Yanmen Commerce Association, and within just one month of its establishment, it had already settled into the surrounding small Chengdu thoroughly.

Originally, Ying City was considered the best economic city in The North, other small commercial associations within the city barely stood a chance against Yanmen Commerce Association.

They resisted slightly at first but soon obediently accepted the incorporation by Yanmen Commerce Association, and just in a few short months, Yanmen Commerce Association became the largest city in the entire North.

“Chairman, this is the development history of Yanmen Commerce Association.”

In a lavish room, a person who appeared to be under thirty gently placed a piece of paper on the table in front of a middle-aged man.

The room wasn’t overly decorated, but the man knew that just the table in front of him was worth a sky-high price.

Heaven Altar Wood!

The price of even a small piece of Heaven Altar Wood was enough to sell for a handsome price throughout the entire Sacred Continent, but things often seem ordinary once one sees too much of them.

Indifferent to the thoughts of the person before him, the middle-aged man picked up the paper from the table, which recorded the rise of Yanmen.

Even the wealthiest merchants across the continent couldn’t help but take notice.

The rise of Yanmen Commerce Association was too rapid; with the support of Long Yan, along with the foundations from Heavenly Gate Chamber of Commerce and Jiuge Chamber of Commerce beforehand, it was able to rise so swiftly.

Even the middle-aged man found such tactics somewhat unbelievable.

“Chairman, in my opinion, the rise of Yanmen Commerce Association is too rapid.

I fear it will make numerous enemies during its growth process.”

Listening to the disdainful words of the person before him, the middle-aged man nodded slightly.

What he said was indeed true; Yanmen touched upon the cake many sought to share in The North’s commerce, which for a fledgling association, was akin to suicide.

“However, I think you might not have seen this person.”

The middle-aged man showed the paper in his hand to the person before him, pointing at Long Yan’s name.

“I have heard of this person before, but I’m not sure if he is the one I know.”

“A Divine Emperor first stage Guardian?”

The person before him scoffed coldly.

Just a Divine Emperor first stage, what waves could he possibly stir in the Sacred Continent?

Not to mention others, even the guards at the middle-aged man’s doorway were of Divine Emperor second stage level.

What could a Divine Emperor first stage possibly dare to do about The North’s cake of the Qin Dynasty?

“You are still too young.”

The middle-aged man sighed.

To be able to directly enter Ying City and kill a Guardian of the same level, how could he merely be a minor character?

In the middle-aged man’s view, Long Yan was a key figure to stabilize the power of Yanmen Commerce Association and also someone he needed to be wary of.

Thinking of this, a wave of bitterness surged in the middle-aged man’s heart.

If only his daughter were here, he would not have nurtured such an arrogant and conceited young man.
