932 Moisturizing Things with a Storm (4)
The person who inspected the Bolu Empire was Liu Xingye.
Liu Xingye is a newcomer to the Shield Arm, but his position is not low. He is the director of the President's Office of UnionPay and the chairman of UnionPay Bank. If UnionPay is compared to a country, Liu Xingye is the Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. In fact, UnionPay
He is already above the country because Bo Chengcheng also serves as the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms. In other words, Liu Xingye's status is comparable to that of the head of state.
Liu Xingye's visit was naturally greeted grandly by the dignitaries of the Bolu Empire. Accompanying Liu Xingye during the inspection was Qiu Shui Lanyan, who was also comparable to the head of state and the former head of Huilian.
The Qiushui family is one of the founding families of Huilian and occupies a pivotal position in Huilian.
Qiu Shui Lanyan accompanied Liu Xingye to randomly visit some UnionPay commercial outlets and inspected the preparation progress of UnionPay Second World and UnionPay Bank offices, and then held a grand welcome banquet for Liu Xingye in Fengdu Star.
The reason why it is on Fengdu star instead of Bolu's capital star is because there is no Bolu capital star in Liu Xingye's itinerary.
UnionPay is willing to set up a branch in Fengdu Star because Fengdu Star does not belong to the Bolu family, and the business in Fengdu Star is extremely developed. And Bolu Capital Star is more of a political center. For the sake of politics and the family
Safety, they are in the capital star and do not welcome too prosperous commercial activities.
In addition, Bolu's trading rights level in UnionPay is the lowest, and UnionPay is not planning to set up an outlet in Bolu Capital Star.
Will Boru care if we don't set up an outlet on Boru's capital star? Hehe, they really care about the inconvenience of obtaining spiritual stones. Today, in the shield world where the cultivation civilization has risen to a higher level, who among the practitioners doesn't want to obtain a large number of spiritual stones?
?
If we don’t set up branches in Bolu Capital Star, wouldn’t UnionPay lose revenue? Haha, UnionPay is currently undergoing a large-scale expansion in Yingxian, and various equipment needs to be supplied with Yingxian spiral arms first. The outlets in the Shield World can only be selective.
Priority is given to improving the branch system of countries with the first and second trading rights levels, but there is no energy and equipment to provide it to countries and regions with the third and fourth trading levels.
The reason why Qiu Shui Lanyan personally accompanied Liu Xingye and held a reception banquet for Liu Xingye was because she hoped to get closer to him and increase Bolu's trading power level.
At present, Bolu is regarded as a hostile party by UnionPay. UnionPay's Skyhawk series products are strictly prohibited from being sold to Bolu. All subcontracting by UnionPay cannot be handed over to Bolu's merchants. UnionPay has some branches in Bolu
The outlets set up on planets with more developed commerce can only sell Phantom Eagle series products, second world linkers, real-time communication terminals, etc., and can also purchase some of Bolu's materials.
Moreover, many platforms in the second world are not open to Bolu, such as martial arts exchange platforms, technology patent trading platforms, etc. UnionPay’s external enrollment technology and martial arts training schools at the Lone Star base are not open to Bolu.
What Qiu Shui Lanyan is most concerned about is that Huilian cannot intervene in UnionPay's trading system.
In the past, international trade in the Shield World had to go through Huilian and use the universal Shield international currency issued by Huilian. But now, trade between all countries and UnionPay must go through UnionPay Bank and use Lingshi for pricing and settlement.
If UnionPay also issues currency, Huilian may be able to compete, but UnionPay directly uses hard currency spiritual stones, just like Bai Yaojin directly used energy as the standard in Orion, making its position unshakable unless there is enough spiritual stone in society.
If there is more than enough, it may depreciate in value. But is it possible? Lingshi is always in short supply and is an absolute hard currency.
The banquet was attended by high-ranking officials and dignitaries. In addition to the expelled Shan family, the other four major Bolu families, the Feng family, the Qiushui family, the Tongshan family, and the Liuhuo family, all were present, especially the younger generation. One by one.
Like a peacock with its tail spread out, they displayed their respective graces in hopes of attracting Liu Xingye's attention.
This is because I heard that Liu Xingye is still unmarried. This is definitely a golden peacock. Whoever wants to win Liu Xingye's favor will definitely have to work harder for a hundred years.
Among the group of male peacocks, the most conspicuous one is Qiu Shui Chang from the Qiu Shui family.
His tall and well-proportioned figure, handsome appearance, graceful demeanor, outstanding talent, and outstanding skills make him impressively ranked third in the list of shield horses. Moreover, he is the third generation son of the Qiushui family, and he is even more famous.
His aura adds to the charming brilliance. He is about the same age as Bo Chengcheng, around forty. In today's era when the average life expectancy is about 150 years old, he is definitely a model of young and promising.
Next in line, there are Tongshan Li, the eldest son of the Tongshan family, and Feng Xingkong, the eldest son of the Feng family. Feng Xingkong's younger brother, Feng Xingye, the second young master of the Feng family, once had an idea of Bai Chengcheng in Fengdu star, which caused Bao Chengcheng to
He opened the killing ring and was wanted by Bolu.
There are also the eldest son of the Liuhuo family and several eldest young men. The eldest son of the Liuhuo family has already gotten married, so the chances are slim. However, the eldest son among them, named Liuhuo Qianqiu, is indeed newly handsome, and his skills have improved by leaps and bounds. At the age of thirty-something,
, reaching the level of a super god. Some people have already booked him as a strong contender for the top spot in the next Divine Horse Ranking.
However, these male peacocks with soaring hormones have no chance to get close to Liu Xingye now, because Qiu Shui Lanyan and a group of aristocratic family heads are discussing cooperation plans and trading rights with Liu Xingye.
Qiu Shui Lanyan said: "Dr. Liu, in business, there is no feud. No one has to struggle with money, right? I, Huilian, voluntarily merged into UnionPay, which is beneficial to both parties.
With the help of Huilian, UnionPay can quickly gain acceptance and support from the entire Shield World and monopolize all international settlement businesses in the Shield World. I don’t need to calculate the profits. You are an expert in this area and can see it clearly at a glance.
If we don't cooperate but are in a competitive relationship, UnionPay's business will be reduced by more than 70%. Think about it, just Chutian and Geting, and then the Chilong family and other priority families, how much business can they have?
How much will the business increase if we expand to full shield?"
Liu Xingye smiled gently, "President Qiu Shui, we, Mr. Bai, have always encouraged healthy competition. Only with competition can there be development. Otherwise, people will remain complacent and become a hindrance to the progress of society.
You should know that the purpose of UnionPay is to promote the upgrading of galactic civilization, not just to do business for the sake of business.
We prefer Huilian to grow and become the driving force for our progress. Therefore, the two companies' joint monopoly on the international settlement business is probably incompatible with our purpose. Not to mention that I have no right to agree to this, even if I have the right to make the decision, I would not
Print, once I commit any act that goes against the purpose of UnionPay, my position in China UnionPay will be unstable. At the most extreme level, my belief in UnionPay will collapse.
I’m really sorry, please don’t talk about this anymore, okay?”
Qiu Shui Lanyan saved the country in a curve, "Okay, an old sister can't make things difficult for her younger sister. I won't talk about this topic for now. Isn't there a saying that we should seek common ground while reserving differences? Let's talk about the issue of Bolu's trading rights level first.
Mr. Bai did encounter some troubles in Bolu. The trip to Fengdu Star left a very bad impression on him. I understand this.
In both cases, the Shan family also offended Mr. Bai.
But that's all in the past. I believe that Bai is always a generous person, and he wouldn't punish the entire people of Bolu because of some small festivals in the past, right? Moreover, the Shan family was severely punished and wiped out. Ordinarily, Bai
The general anger should be gone, right?
According to UnionPay’s philosophy, what we promote is the progress and development of the entire Galaxy, and we can’t favor one over the other, right? In any case, Bolu is also a part of the Galaxy, isn’t it? What do you think?”
It seems that instead of raising Bolu's trading rights level, Bo Chengcheng is just saying one thing and doing another, just like playing a hypocritical double standard.
Liu Xingye is no longer what he used to be. After years of training, he has become more comfortable in these situations. He smiled and said: "President Qiu Shui, you have picked the wrong person for this matter. Our Tianshi Palace is responsible for monitoring. You can ask
Palace Master Yue Weiyuan or Deputy Palace Master Ru Lan applied and it was said that you met the conditions for upgrading the authority.
After they investigate, they will report it to Lord Fang Xinghang of the Adjudication Hall. If you really meet the requirements for increasing the trading authority level, Lord Fang will definitely increase your authority level.
In fact, whether you apply or not, they will always investigate your actions and judge whether your actions are in line with UnionPay’s philosophy.”
Qiu Shui Lanyan frowned slightly, "Don't you think this is forcing others to do something difficult? You just said that Mr. Bai encourages competition and does not want one family to be arbitrary. But he requires the whole world to conform to your ideas. Isn't this contradictory?"
Liu Xingye replied calmly: "What I just said seems to be healthy competition. In other words, we are firmly opposed to vicious competition.
You may have studied the history of our Mr. Bai's family. When he was still a student, he invented the gene enhancer. Haha, there were many powerful people at that time who wanted to plunder his technology patents. Let me tell you frankly, among them
Our vice president is the family of Mr. Bai’s wife, Zhuo Qinglin.
In other words, if it were our Mr. Bai, if it were anyone else, his technology patents would definitely be taken away by others. There would be no Mr. Bai today. Maybe he is still being raised by a certain aristocratic family and working hard to research medicines for the aristocratic family.
or other technology.
Therefore, he is very disgusted with this kind of plundering behavior that relies on power and strength. If you don't like to hear it, if everyone speaks based on strength, Boru may have been bulldozed by Mr. Bai.
It is precisely because of this that Mr. Bai launched Shield Union, re-established UnionPay, and switched to a peaceful way to deal with the shield world.
Mr. Bai used his own experience to prove that only a fair and just social order will allow the Galaxy to develop rapidly. This is not arbitrary, nor does it discriminate against anyone, nor is it a double standard."
No matter what Qiu Shui Lanyan said, if Liu Xingye could block it, he would block it confidently. If he couldn't block it, he would do Tai Chi and push others.
Qiu Shui Lan Yan was at a loss what to do, "Then let's take a look at the experiment first."
The so-called experiment actually has the nature of gambling.
Like the conversation between Zhang Renmei and Di Tianyuan, Qiu Shui Lanyan also mentioned the security issues of UnionPay Bank. Then she and Liu Xingye planned to conduct an experiment. Qiu Shui's party sent people to rob the UnionPay Bank to see if it could succeed.
If it succeeds, the safety and credibility of UnionPay Bank will naturally be questionable. If it fails, they will express their trust in UnionPay Bank.
Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, Qiushui Lanyan will not lose anyway. If it can damage the credibility of UnionPay Bank, it will be a big win.
The difference between shields and immortals is that they have technological means, such as laser cutting, high-explosive bombs, etc.
