The next day.
As the Blue Ice Empire's territory and population were larger than other empires, Mo Tiankong was hesitant between setting up a stall and looking for a business to work with.
He did not know if the warriors in the city could complete the reputation points, so he chose to work with a business in the end.
Mo Tiankong had been strolling around Mo City yesterday afternoon, so he had some understanding of the businesses in the city.
The most famous one was the White Stone Business. The headquarters of the White Stone Business was not in Mo City, but it was a business that traveled between cities.
The headquarters was in the imperial capital of the Blue Ice Empire, so it was still very powerful. To be honest, this kind of business was much better than the local businesses in terms of knowledge, structure, and other aspects.
If he worked with a business in the city, he might end up like the Wei Clan and get into some trouble. Mo Tiankong did not like trouble.
Furthermore, a business that traveled between cities was more suitable for the current situation. The main thing was that the reputation points in a city were probably less than 1%, which was not enough to complete the mission. This kind of business was the most suitable.
After finishing his breakfast, Mo Tiankong walked out of the inn and headed towards the White Stone Trading Company's location.
There were some White Stone businesses in the city, but if he wanted to talk about a business, he would have to go to the business's location and find the person in charge.
Luckily, he found out the location yesterday afternoon. This was not a secret, so it was easy to find.
Mo Tiankong stopped in front of a courtyard. The name of the White Stone Business was written on the door plate, so this should be the place.
There were two guards at the door. Both of their cultivations were not low, and they were both Wuzong Realm warriors. This was a big deal.
In the Profound Sky Continent, the guards at the entrance were often able to display the strength of the owner. A Martial Ancestor Realm martial artist guarding the entrance was not weak. This White Stone Trading Company might be the trading company of one of the great clans in the Imperial Capital.
Due to the lack of time, Mo Tiankong did not know much about it. In addition, the knowledge of ordinary warriors was limited. However, this was not necessary. He just needed to work with them to complete the mission.
After a simple explanation of the purpose of their visit, the guard at the gate entered the courtyard to report. The role of the guard was to block some of the martial artists. However, anyone with power and influence could not meet them as they wished.
This was very normal. Otherwise, why would they arrange for guards? They could just knock on the door and enter.
Soon, the guard who had entered earlier came out. Just as Mo Tiankong thought that he could enter to talk, he was rejected.
"The White Commander is not in the residence, please return."
The guard said to Mo Tiankong. Then, he stopped talking and stood to the side.
Mo Tiankong frowned as he thought to himself. Then, he extended his Spiritual Energy into the courtyard. Although it was a little impolite, he found the aura of a Martial Emperor in the study room. Could it be that a warrior of this level was not in charge?
There were quite a number of people in the courtyard, including the servants. It didn't seem like the person in charge wasn't around.
In fact, Mo Tiankong was taking it for granted. It was impossible for a random warrior to enter just because he said that there was business to discuss. The manager of the trading company did not need to do anything else for the day. He just needed to receive people.
Some powerful trading companies, like the White Stone Trading Company, had a strong background. There would definitely be many local small families and forces who would want to curry favor with them.
Whether it was the harvest or selling at a high price, he might be able to buy some urgently needed items through connections.
The trading companies in many cities would definitely have some items that could not be bought locally. Sometimes, they would need the help of these trading companies. Although it was not completely fawning, it was still necessary to build a relationship.
It was very troublesome to pay a visit every few days. As the manager of the trading company, he had a lot of things to do every day. How could he have so much time?
It was normal for him to refuse. Moreover, Mo Tiankong only introduced himself as a merchant. He did not say anything else. It was normal for the other party to refuse.
However, if this was the case, Mo Tiankong's plan would fail. He was already at the door, so he definitely had to do something. Whether or not they cooperated, he definitely had to meet once.
"I really do have business to discuss. There's no harm in meeting." Mo Tiankong did not hold back and directly transmitted his voice to the person in the study.
There was almost no one in the courtyard with high cultivation. If it wasn't the manager in the study, there should be no one else. Moreover, the other party was a high-level Martial Emperor. Mo Tiankong could silently transmit his voice using his mental strength, which showed that his cultivation was above his.
No matter what, he would invite him in for a chat.
Sure enough, the person in the study was alarmed. He remembered that a guard had just come to report that a merchant had come to visit. He then got up and walked out the door.
Just as Mo Tiankong thought, whether or not the business could be discussed, the other party's cultivation was enough for him to talk.
"Esteemed guest, please forgive me for not going out to meet you. Please forgive my rudeness. Manager Mo, please," Bai Jing hurriedly said when he walked out of the door and saw Mo Tiankong standing there.
He tried to sense the other party's cultivation, but he could not sense it. This person was most likely a Martial Emperor. Bai Jing's cultivation was at the eighth rank Martial Emperor. Above that was the peak of the ninth rank. There was a high chance that this person was a Martial Emperor.
Even in the Blue Ice Empire, a Martial Emperor was considered a powerhouse. Bai Jing could not help but be concerned. As for the other party's age, he did not care. Wasn't it normal for a martial artist with a high cultivation to have a way to maintain their youthful appearance?
Mo Tiankong had transmitted his voice using his mental strength and introduced himself as a merchant. It was not a problem for Bai Jing to call him manager.
"Manager Bai is too polite. I was also a little rude before." Mo Tiankong also said modestly. He also expressed his attitude about the matter of the mental strength transmission.
Although his cultivation was high, it was still rude to investigate in private. If he went to investigate the imperial palace, there might be a few Martial Emperors who would come out to teach him a lesson. After all, no one wanted to be investigated.
Since Mo Tiankong had come to talk about cooperation, he would naturally learn some information about the trading firm. The Whitestone Trading Firm's manager was surnamed Bai, and even if he had addressed Mo Tiankong incorrectly, the manager would have corrected him when the time came.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Mo Tiankong followed the other party to a living room. Bai Jing directly asked Mo Tiankong to sit at the head of the table, while Bai Jing sat on the other side.
Usually, if there were guests, they would sit at the head of the table. Considering the other party's cultivation, although he was a guest, he was still arranged to sit at the head of the table.
"Manager Mo, please have some tea." Bai Jing gestured to Mo Tiankong, and the two entered the room. A servant brought tea.
"Manager Bai, this time I came to discuss business with the White Stone Trading Company." After drinking tea, Mo Tiankong went straight to the point.
"Manager Mo, there is no harm in speaking," Bai Jing said with a smile.
"… I don't know if Manager Bai is interested." Mo Tiankong waved his hand, and twelve items appeared on the table. He then briefly introduced their effects and asked Bai Jing.
"Does Manager Mo want to sell them to the White Stone Trading Company?" Bai Jing said with some uncertainty. In fact, after hearing the effects of these items, he was already very shocked.
"Well, you can say that. But there are as many of these items as you want." Mo Tiankong said lightly. Bai Jing was right. He was selling them to the White Stone Trading Company. As for whether he would use them after purchasing them or sell them again, it was none of his business.
The key point was the quantity. If he only sold these twelve items, Mo Tiankong would not sell them. He would definitely sell them in large quantities to complete the reputation.
"This, are you selling them in large quantities?" Bai Jing asked in surprise. These items could be regarded as rare treasures, and their value was much higher than the selling price. Now, listening to Mo Tiankong, there were still a large number of such items.
"Yes, this is also the cooperation I mentioned before. I hope to borrow the White Stone Trading Company's channels to sell them. The condition is that the source of the items must be truthfully told to the martial artist who purchases them." Mo Tiankong also timely put forward his purpose.
"Of course, after purchasing the items, I don't care if the White Stone Trading Company uses them or sells them." Mo Tiankong immediately said. Since the request was made, he had to give some benefits.
If you want a horse to run, you also have to feed the horse. Mo Tiankong also clearly explained the benefits. After the purchase, it was not his business. He would not intervene in the pricing of the items if they were sold to others.
"Manager Mo, these words are true." Bai Jing's eyes lit up. He had been in business for many years, so naturally he heard the meaning of Mo Tiankong's words, but he still could not help but ask.
"Naturally." After taking a sip of tea, Mo Tiankong said.
"Manager Mo, then I will buy these twelve items first." Bai Jing's heart was also worried about whether the items would really be effective. After all, there were several items that he had never heard of. Now he was buying them to try them out.
"Manager Bai, no harm. Try them out first." Hearing this, Mo Tiankong also understood. If he were in Bai Jing's shoes, he was afraid that he would also try them out. If he had the strength, he was not afraid that the other side would not give him the spirit stones, so he directly opened his mouth.
"Manager Mo is straightforward." Bai Jing said seriously.
"Someone come …" After saying this, Bai Jing ordered the people guarding the door to take them out to use.
"Manager Mo, come drink tea."
.....
Not long after, some of the items had been used, but items like the transmission array could not be used for a while. However, the items that could be used directly had been used, and they were all effective.
Bai Jing was also overjoyed. In fact, the most important thing for Bai Jing was that these items were effective. The benefits were not only in the spirit stones, but also the uniqueness of the items. Maybe he could use these items to rise to the throne of the Blue Ice Empire's number one trading company.
Reputation was also the most important thing for a trading company. With a reputation, there would be channels, and martial artists would come to buy the items. It was the same as the concept of brands on Earth.
Branded items were also recognized by countless people, which meant that the quality was good and trustworthy, so naturally, people would buy the branded items.
Then Bai Jing took out all the spirit stones that the trading company could use to buy a large number of items. Not only did he sell them in Mo City, but he would also sell them in other cities. Of course, he would also comply with Mo Tiankong's request.
For the merchants of the Aquamarine Empire, it was extremely difficult for low level martial artists to buy from them. The distance was still too far.
