"This time, the precious items of Middle Island's various families have been brought to the warship, and the ordinary ones have been placed on my two treasure ships. Of course, there are also many of my own goods. It's very tiring to maintain these three ships. If I don't transport my own goods, I won't even have enough food for my subordinates." Okuda Ba said with a smile, but he didn't look tired at all. Instead, he looked very happy.
Lin Yi understood as well- Okuda Dam's ancient warships usually didn't carry cargo, and were used as a military force. This time, however, there were a lot of guests with high statuses in Nakajima, and so they were allowed to bring their most precious items on the warship.
Of course, the safety of the giant treasure ships was very high, but compared to the ancient warship, it was not worth mentioning at all. The people of Middle Island with high status were all important customers of Okuda Ba. As long as there was no special reason, they would definitely choose to take the ancient warship.
As soon as they arrived on the deck, Lin Yi saw a group of people from the Hong Chamber of Commerce also boarding the ship. Although he wasn't familiar with the people from the Hong Chamber of Commerce, he was still the Honorary Vice President, after all. He had to go and greet them.
"Brother Okuda, I'll go and greet the people from the Hong Chamber of Commerce. You guys go in first, I'll be there in a while." Lin Yi greeted Okuda Ba and the others, then walked to the Hong Chamber of Commerce.
Originally, Lin Yi wasn't interested in this kind of thing, but Hong Zhong was his best friend. For his sake, Lin Yi should go and greet him, especially since Lin Yi wanted to know how Hong Zhong was doing recently.
"This is Vice President Wei of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, right? I'm Lin Yi, we should have met before. "Lin Yi smiled and greeted him with cupped fists.
This time, there weren't many acquaintances in the Hong Chamber of Commerce, but Lin Yi had indeed met Vice President Wei two years ago. However, they didn't have much interaction, and he didn't even know his name. There was no friendship between them at all.
If it weren't for such a familiar person, Lin Yi might not have come.
Vice-chairman Wei glanced at Lin Yi indifferently. He didn't even look at him as he cupped his fists and said indifferently, "I'm Wei Jiading. What's the matter?"
Lin Yi was slightly startled. Could it be that this Wei Jiading didn't know him? Logically speaking, it was impossible. Even if Lin Yi had not appeared for two years, on Middle Island, there were probably not many people who did not know of Lin Yi's name, not to mention that he was the honorary vice president of the Hong Chamber of Commerce.
Taking a step back, even if Wei Jiading didn't know who Lin Yi was, as the Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce, how could he put on such an expression on the ancient battleship of Okuda Dam? Didn't they know that those who were able to board this ancient battleship wouldn't have simple identities? Did the Hong Chamber of Commerce still want to do business?
"Vice President Wei, could it be that you don't recognize me?" The smile on Lin Yi's face also disappeared. He wasn't used to sticking his warm face to someone else's cold butt. If it weren't for Hong Zhong's sake, he would have left in a huff.
"I know you are the honorary vice president, Lin Yi. If there's anything, just say it!" Wei Jiading was still expressionless as he spoke. What surprised Lin Yi was that Wei Jiading clearly knew him, yet he still acted like this. It seemed that something had happened in the Hong Chamber of Commerce!
Could it be that something had happened to Hong Zhong?!
Lin Yi was secretly shocked. He knew that even if he continued to ask Wei Jiading, there wouldn't be any results. Hence, he simply nodded and glanced at Wei Jiading indifferently. He didn't even bother to say a word and directly turned to leave.
Seeing Lin Yi's expression, Wei Jiading's eyes flashed with some surprise. It seemed that he didn't expect Lin Yi to leave without saying a word. Previously, when he saw him greeting him with a warm smile, Wei Jiading thought that he was a person who could be easily bullied. It seemed that was not the case.
However, Wei Jiading didn't care. It was just an honorary vice president. He might have some weight in the outside world, but in front of the vice president of the headquarters in Middle Island, he was nothing.
Lin Yi walked towards Okuda Ba and the others with a gloomy expression. Lin Yi didn't care about people like Wei Jiading. He was worried about Hong Zhong now. If nothing happened, with Hong Zhong's status in the Hong Chamber of Commerce, probably no one would be disrespectful to him, the honorary vice president.
Okuda Ba and the others didn't leave but waited for Lin Yi. They were all very surprised to see this scene. In Middle Island, other than the Medicine Sect, there was actually someone who wouldn't give Lin Yi face. Moreover, it was someone from the Hong Chamber of Commerce. It was really unexpected.
Hou Guanqi and Cai Zhongyang were still fine, but Okuda Ba was considering if he should directly chase the people from the Hong Chamber of Commerce off the ancient battleship. However, he was also a businessman now. Before Lin Yi said anything, it was best to wait and see. Of course, he had to show his attitude.
"Brother Lin, what's going on with Wei Jiading?" Okuda Ba frowned and asked Lin Yi, who was walking over. As long as Lin Yi said it, he would definitely chase Wei Jiading and the others away. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he believed that Lin Yi understood what he meant.
Lin Yi waved his hand and said with a faint smile, "It's nothing. He's just an irrelevant person. We don't need to care about him."
"That's right, that's right. There's no need to care about ordinary people. Let's go and have a drink together!" Okuda Ba smiled. Since Lin Yi said this, it saved him from being in a difficult position. Naturally, his mood was much better. However, he remembered Wei Jiading. As long as he had a proper reason, Okuda Ba wouldn't be polite to him.
As they were talking, a flying spirit beast directly flew over from the sky above Middle Island and quickly landed on the deck of the ancient battleship.
If it was in the past, the people on the ancient battleship would have already surrounded the person. However, Okuda Ba was a businessman now, so of course, he wouldn't do such a thing.
On Middle Island, flying spirit beasts were generally prohibited. Except for a small number of people at the top who had this privilege, ordinary people would be courting death if they dared to fly. Now that someone directly flew from the inland direction of Middle Island to Okuda Ba's ancient battleship, it was obvious that the person's identity was noble.
Okuda Ba only took a glance at the person on the flying spirit beast and didn't have any intention of greeting him. The acting island master of Middle Island was his second brother. Except for people like Lin Yi, who he thought highly of, there weren't many people who were worthy of him greeting personally. Even if it was to do business, he wouldn't deliberately cater to others.
