Chapter 143(1/2)
Taking office
"Four years ago, Zhe Linshan developed more advanced products, which gradually overwhelmed the Cang Chaos Sect.
There is a big lawsuit between Lingyun Sect and Zhe Linshan, which is being dragged on by the Zide Realm Cultivation Alliance, which is quite painful.
This has prevented them from breaking through the self-defeating market on a large scale.
Cang Chaos Sect was eager to introduce new products to compete with Zhe Linshan, so they hit it off with Lingyun Sect.
The two parties decided to unite with the first-level sect Li Valley and jointly fund the establishment of a new sect.
It integrates the technologies and products of Cang Chaos Sect and Lingyun Sect, launches its own equipment, and expands the market of the entire Chaoyang River System.
After discussion, the three factions decided to name it "Haichuanmen", which means "the sea embraces all rivers".
It is also a second-level sect, anchored under the Li Valley, and its headquarters is located in Xunyue City, which borders Nanfeng Continent and Zhongsheng Continent.
In order to avoid business conflicts between Haichuan Sect and Lingyun Sect in Hongqingjie, the two parties have separated their products and sales channels.
Haichuanmen focuses on selling mining equipment for other ores. It does not do pure Lingshi mining machine business, and does not sell directly to major sects, but only supplies through agents.
With this move, the Lingyun Sect hopes to resolve the lawsuit in the Zide Realm through cooperation with the Cang Chaos Sect and wait for an opportunity to open up the situation.
On the other hand, they know that the distribution market is flexible and agents will do anything to get orders.
Out of their usual cautious strategy, the Lingyun Sect did not want their disciples to get involved in this quagmire or dye vat. They decided to only provide capital and technology and not participate in the management.
The emergence of Haichuan Gate will be a trouble for Shuiyang Pavilion.
Whether it is our upcoming terminal devices or the full range of products including hosts in the future, it is inevitable that:
Competing with Lingyun Sect in the direct sales market of major sects, and competing with Haichuan Sect in the distribution market.
Both Shuiyang Pavilion and Haichuan Gate are new brands and products, so there will definitely be fierce competition, and the degree of bloodshed will probably exceed that of the battle with the Lingyun Sect."
After Xu Lin finished speaking, another familiar elder named Zou Shixiang came up.
"Now, the manpower gap in each branch is relatively large. Please hurry up and recruit new disciples after you return, and at the same time develop the elders and deacons.
Currently, when we participate in projects, we are still using mining machines from the Lingyun School.
The branches with good performance are mainly in Nanfengzhou and Beikuizhou. Dongwu has also made good progress recently, with the performance of several big cities doubling.
The expansion progress of Xijinzhou and Zhongshengzhou is lagging behind. They have recently replaced their great elders. We hope to have a new look as soon as possible.
The self-developed terminal product that everyone is most concerned about is expected to be launched in a few months.
These new products have been quietly tried out in some places with good connections, and the feedback so far is good.
As for the host system, the headquarters is working hard to develop it, and the progress is very gratifying.
Once the end product is launched, everyone will switch to their own products.
In order to complete the deployment as soon as possible, the strategy recommended by the headquarters is..."
This meeting lasted for three days, covering the market, products, services and authorization systems, etc., and contained a huge amount of information.
During this period, he met Su Ran, the chief elder of the Xuliao branch. He was a middle-aged man with a medium build, kind-hearted and gentle manner.
He turned out to be an elder of the Lingyun Sect, but he was only responsible for purchasing and had never worked on the front line of the market.
Intuitively, Jin Ziming felt that he was a good character and easy to get along with.
Before the end of the conference, the pavilion master Yu Zekun showed up. This was the first time Jin Ziming saw him.
This person looks quite young, short, pale, and somewhat sleepy-eyed, like a frail scribe, but his cultivation is already in the early stages of integration.
He only talked about the development trends of new technologies and his thoughts on improving the performance and competitiveness of new products.
He said nothing about sales and had no message.
The impression given to Jin Ziming is that he is a person with technical talent but lack of communication skills.
The participants began to return to the branch, but Jin Ziming did not leave. He was granted first-level reading rights in the library, so naturally he wanted to take a look.
Jin Ziming came to an abandoned royal attic. A powerful protective formation shrouded the place, and there were many Nascent Soul Masters and combined powers guarding the place along the way.
There are six floors in the temporary library. After checking his elder token, Jin Ziming went directly to the fifth floor, which was his highest authority.
There are only two bookshelves here, with more than a hundred secret books, all of which can be cultivated to the integration stage.
The first shelf is marked with the words "Hongqingjie", and most of the books are here.
Another bookshelf is annotated as "Buddha Xingjie" and seems to have been provided by Fang Huayumen, the investor of Shuiyang Pavilion.
He started with books in this field and slowly flipped through them one by one.
After reading more than seventy books, he finally found a movement technique called "Light and Shadow Step", which interested him very much.
Although the threshold for practice is the Nascent Soul Realm, it is also noted that outstanding people in the Golden Elixir Stage can also try to practice.
His "Fengxing Technique" is close to perfection, and he is planning to check out other high-level movements.
He has also practiced the secret of light, which should be helpful to the "Light and Shadow Step".
Apart from this book, he couldn't find any exercises on this bookshelf that excited him.
It seems that he arrived late and all the good books have been borrowed by others.
Jin Ziming took the "Light and Shadow Step" and moved to the second bookshelf. There were only more than thirty books on it.
Instead, he had greater expectations for foreign secrets, hoping to prove his own way with foreign techniques with different styles.
He began to read carefully, and when he saw a "Questioning Heart Knife", his eyes lit up.
This is a set of Buddhist sword techniques. If it is integrated with mantras, it may be more suitable than the "Feng Chi Knife".
Selecting this book, he continued to look down until he stopped at the third to last book.
This is a major Buddhist practice called "Nirvana Kung Fu."
It is divided into three parts: "The Divine Turtle's Nirvana and Immortality", "The Divine Dragon's Perfection and Immortality" and "Kunpeng's Rebirth and Nirvana".
There is content related to Kunpeng in it, and maybe it will inspire "Kunpeng's Tongtian Jue".
According to the rules of the school, each person can only borrow three books at a time.
Jin Ziming was no longer nostalgic and went downstairs to register.
After bidding farewell to Xu Ganqing, he rushed to the teleportation formation and headed to Xuliao City.
A new chapter is about to begin.
The road ahead will be bumpy and full of ups and downs, but as a young man, he may be in need of a tempering experience.
Jin Ziming, who was tired of travel, arrived at his destination four days later.
Similar to Lei Ming, there is also a river in Xuliao City. It is very close to the sea. About two hundred miles outside the city, the river water will merge into the sea.
Although it is winter, Xuliao is sunny, warm and pleasant.
The men and women in the city are not tall and have slightly darker skin. The business is extremely developed, with many shops and bustling traffic.
There are specialty restaurants of various flavors in Hongqingjie everywhere, which makes Jin Ziming quite happy.
There are also several steeple-shaped buildings, which are very different from the surrounding houses. They are actually the dojo established by missionaries from the Yongli world.
Jin Ziming went straight to the location of the Shuiyangge branch, which was a house in the north of the city. There was also a protective circle set up inside.
A young female nun hired from outside was in charge of reception at the door. She had a very ordinary appearance, short hair, and short stature. She could tell at a glance that she was a local.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
"My name is Jin Ziming, come and report."
"Ah, this is the second elder. My name is Xing Chun. Please come in, and I will take you to see the first elder." The woman said enthusiastically.
Arriving at Su Ran's office, the latter smiled and came over to shake hands.
"Zi Ming, I've been looking forward to having you here, so great!"
"Lao Su, when did you come back?"
"Just yesterday, you were very prompt.
Xing Chun, you call everyone to a meeting, and I will introduce the second elder to them."
As the largest branch of Shuiyang Pavilion, Xuliao only had 123 people. Those who went out on business quickly gathered together.
The branch's functional settings are very complete, including foreign affairs hall, solutions, after-sales service, cargo management and logistics, etc., and even a small airship.
"Zi Ming, we have two elders here.
The third elder, Jiang Xunzhen, comes from the Holy Sword Peak, and the fourth elder, Gong Huaizhi, turned out to be the backbone of the Xuliao branch of Qingyumen and is very familiar with the local situation."
After Jin Ziming greeted the two people with a smile, he looked around and found an acquaintance.
Aiguli, the senior sister of Qianxianfeng whom Guang Liang had secretly glanced at back then, that exotic beauty, actually left Lingyun Sect and joined Shuiyang Pavilion.
Gu Li smiled sweetly at him, and the two of them thought of their past youthful years at the same time.
"Everyone, let me now announce the division of labor among the elders:
I am responsible for the highest-level relations, goods and logistics of individual first-level and super sects, as well as the overall planning and dispatch of the branches.
To be continued...
