Chapter 155(1/2)
Falling out
Back in Xuliao City, Jin Ziming held a banquet, invited Su Ran and others to attend, and announced his engagement.
In order to avoid exposing the demon sword, he did not reveal the true identity of the bride-to-be.
Everyone was naturally happy for him and kept toasting.
During the dinner, they talked about business, and he learned that something big had happened recently.
"Half a month ago, Zongmen announced the launch of a self-developed mining host.
In addition to the terminal equipment that has been launched in the early stage, it has become the fifth sect in the Hongqing world to have a complete set of self-developed equipment.
The main machine for mining spiritual stone mines is the most sophisticated and can be used for mining other spiritual minerals at the same time.
But the opposite is not true. If it is the host of Fire Spirit Stone or Water Spirit Mine, it cannot be used to mine Spirit Stone Mine.
The latest model launched by the sect cannot mine pure spiritual stone mines for the time being.
But even so, it is still shocking news."
Jiang Xunzhen said enthusiastically.
"A second-level sect that has been established for less than ten years has actually acquired abilities that super and first-level sects have not had in thousands of years in such a short period of time.
From now on, the sect can compete comprehensively with Lingyun Sect, Foundry Hall, Qingyu Sect and Fire Dragon Hall.
As for Feng Hui Zhen Dao, they are agents of products from the Zide world. The prices are high and the price-performance ratio is average, so there is nothing to worry about."
Gong Huaizhi sighed.
"What is the reaction of Lingyun Sect?" This is the focus of Jin Ziming's concern.
"The senior management of the old club was furious. They wanted to create an ecosystem, but instead they supported a competitor.
Although, Shuiyang Pavilion has not yet gotten involved in Lingyun Sect's most important business, which is the mining of pure spiritual stones.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is only a matter of time before such a console is launched.
What is even more difficult for the Lingyun Sect to accept is that Cui Yuan, the leader of the Gaozhan Sect acquired by the sect, has entered the core elders' council of Shuiyang Pavilion."
Lao Su replied.
"Well, I asked around, and it is said that the Lingyun Sect increasingly believes in the early speculations of some elders:
Cui Yuan may have been a chess piece arranged by the Pavilion Master in advance. When he left, the Pavilion Master was still in charge of Lingfu Peak, allowing him to take the host technology out."
Jiang Xunzhen added.
"Lao Su, is it true?" Jin Ziming asked.
"How do I know?" Su Ran spread her hands and said helplessly.
"Did the Lingyun faction take any targeted measures?"
"There is news from the headquarters that our old employer has canceled our right to act as an agent for pure Lingshi mine hosts and has begun to strengthen competition management.
In the direct sales markets of various majors:
If we come across a pure spirit stone mine project, try to guide it into a host machine and terminal equipment package for sale, so that we cannot participate;
If it is purely terminal equipment bidding, then all efforts must be made to compete.
In an agent-dominated distribution market:
The Lingyun Sect has always been weak, but the Haichuan Sect, which has a stake in it, has suddenly emerged in recent years.
Therefore, the mission of stopping us falls on the shoulders of this new sect, and it has exactly this intention." Jiang Xunzhen replied.
Gong Huaizhi sighed:
"I'm afraid the days ahead will be even more difficult. It is said that pessimism has spread in some branches."
Everyone was sighing.
"We are quite lucky. Yan Hui, the great elder of Xuliao branch of Lingyun faction, is very senior.
He is a famous Confucian general, generous and independent, and will not be easily led by others.
In the past four years since Zi Ming arrived, although our performance has increased by more than eight times, we still cannot catch Yan Hui's eye."
Lao Su did not want his morale to be low and quickly comforted him.
"Yan Hui really looks down on our small projects. According to him, although he received the latest requirements from the headquarters, he did not deliberately ask his subordinates to implement them.
They haven't adjusted their strategy yet and are still focusing their main energy on competing for major projects with Qingyumen and others, which is a blessing among misfortunes."
Jiang Xunzhen had a lot of local connections, and he actually got to know the latest developments of his opponents.
In fact, the Xuliao branch of Lingyun Sect did not deliberately target Shuiyang Pavilion, but many elders and disciples became excited after learning the news.
They mobilized spontaneously, began to analyze Shuiyangge's personnel and projects, and began to apply for special business to strengthen their competitiveness.
Jin Ziming's team is under a lot of pressure, but it is still within the tolerable range.
After all, their lives are better than most branches in Shuiyang Pavilion.
The situation was difficult, and Jin Ziming had to compress his practice time and focus more on his projects.
The most important thing at the moment is to build a non-Lingshi mine mining model site in Xuliao, which is equipped with a complete set of Shuiyangge equipment.
Lingyun Sect's Xingguang Sect, Juxing Sect, Xiaoyao Sect and Taoist Temple are all heavily guarded and difficult to invade.
Moreover, even if it succeeds, it is likely to anger this behemoth and cause greater difficulties to itself.
As the subordinate sect of Rune Hall, Shuiyang Pavilion will provide some care, and Jiang Xunzhen also has some high-level support there.
The relationship between Jin Ziming and Wanfo Temple is very close.
In addition, the scale of the projects in these two places is often medium to small, which is just a short distance away from the threshold that Yan Hui is concerned about.
Therefore, Jin Ziming identified these two companies as his targets. As long as he captured one of them, he would be victorious.
It just so happens that these two groups are currently operating several projects. In order not to expose the selected target, they will fully participate in any one of them.
Jin Ziming decided to make a big bet at the last quotation moment.
After the plan was made, relevant personnel were sent out to run around various cities.
As for Xuliao, Jin Ziming, Jiang Xunzhen and Su Ran began to visit high-level customers frequently and in a low-key manner.
Of course, try to make an appointment to talk so as not to run into someone from the Lingyun Sect.
Jiang Xunzhen has established a relatively complete relationship network in Rune Hall, but he has only a limited friendship with the most important second elder.
Su Ran and Jin Ziming both came on stage, and their hard work paid off, and they successfully invited the second elder to come out several times.
The two parties gradually became familiar with each other, and the second elder had a good impression of the three senior officials of Shuiyang Pavilion.
What they were interested in was a small new mine on the outskirts of Xuliao City. For the second elder, if he let it go a little bit, he could sell a favor.
They are very tight-lipped and still haven't disclosed their target projects in advance.
The Wanfo Temple side is a little more complicated. Jin Ziming chose a mining area that is close to medium-sized and has great potential for future expansion.
The first phase of the project involves Xuliao and Gonghaicheng.
Shuiyang Pavilion needs to have three relationships, including the Xuliao branch and station, and the Gonghai City station.
This project is actually Jin Ziming’s number one goal.
He devoted himself wholeheartedly to it, and further deepened his relationship with the powerful second elder, Qingxun Venerable, through the transmission of messages from Dingchun Arhat.
Through his introduction, Jin Ziming got in touch with the senior executives of the two stations. After several visits, the two sides became familiar with each other.
He took the opportunity to ask around for advice on Buddhist issues he encountered during his practice, and had heated discussions with each other. Everyone gradually recognized this young man who had a profound connection with Buddhism.
Soon, Jin Ziming received reassurance. He understood that he had entered the core circle of Wanfo Temple in Xuliao.
One day, Venerable Qingxun asked a disciple to send him a message that the branch's annual Buddhist hall annual meeting was about to be held, asking him to attend it when he was free.
At this critical moment, how could Jin Ziming refuse such a good contact opportunity.
Immediately put down what you were doing and rush to the designated place on time.
Not many people attended the annual meeting of the Buddhist temple. They were all the core elders who were stationed in the temple or the chief ministers of the big cities under their jurisdiction.
In addition, there are some unfamiliar faces, and they are not dressed as monks.
After the chief elder of the branch thanked him, he began to preach the scriptures.
The content involved some Buddhist debates, which made Jin Ziming fascinated.
Then there was a tea party held in the garden. Jin Ziming held a cup of fragrant tea, ate exquisite pastries, walked around and chatted casually.
When he chatted with a few people who were not wearing monk robes, he couldn't help but be surprised.
These people are all the main suppliers of Wanfo Temple and agents in various fields.
Some of them make daily necessities, practice resources, and mining equipment.
These people have known each other for a long time, and during their jokes, they often compliment each other on their great achievements at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple last year.
Immediately tell others what their target areas are this year, which major projects they are interested in, and finally consult the other person's demands.
