"This..."

"Master Qin means..."

In the meeting room, everyone's expression changed, staring intently at Qin Mo.

"According to my information, all import and export businesses and underground channels in the Inland of Flame Dragon, except for the northwest, have fallen into the hands of two people, one named Lin Bingrui and the other Zhang Long. One in the south and one in the north, they control the vast majority of channels in the Inland of Flame Dragon, which can be said to dominate the sect forces except for the northwest!"

"And now, Lin Bingrui is advancing into the northwest, and Zhang Long has come to our Zhou Yi District. What does this imply? It suggests that these two are aiming to truly dominate the entirety of Flame Dragon!"

Qin Mo said solemnly, "With such a huge commotion caused by these two, yet the Flame Dragon Group remains indifferent—can you believe they are unsupported?"

"They really have the support of Flame Dragon Group?!"

"What should we do now?!"

"Damn it! They are driving us to a corner where it's either them or us!"

Panic and resolute voices filled the meeting room.

"Wait a minute!"

Lu Junsheng frowned, his eyes filled with meaning as he looked at Qin Mo: "Master Qin, you mean to say..."

Qin Mo glanced at Lu Junsheng, his words loaded with significance, "What have you thought of?"

"Zhang Long and Lin Bingrui, one in the south and one in the north, do not interfere with each other. Now that Zhang Long has appeared in Yi Chen Group, it reminds me of... Longteng Group!"

Lu Junsheng's expression turned serious, "Yi Chen Group and Longteng Group also do not interfere with each other from south to north. Could there be a connection between them?"

Qin Mo slightly smiled, "That's what I said, when initially selecting the Alliance Hierarch, we should have chosen you, Lu Junsheng, for this position! Yi Chen and Longteng, south and north, Zhang Long and Lin Bingrui, south and north; it seems to be a coincidence, but in reality, it is not."

"Zhang Long has ruled the sect forces in the southern Inland, controlling all covert import and export channels in his hands, while handing over those legitimate channels to Yi Chen."

"Lin Bingrui did the same, handing over all overt import and export channels to Longteng Group!"

"Their reason for doing this is because Yi Chen and Longteng are chaired by the same CEO, and that Zhang Long and Lin Bingrui share the same boss — the Family Head of the Jiang Family of Jincheng, Jiang Chen!"

Qin Mo took a deep breath, "This Jiang Chen has practically now taken control of all the import and export channels of the Flame Dragon Inland business world. Once he conquers the northwest, he will have monopolistic control over the imports and exports of the Flame Dragon Inland!"

"What? Zhang Long and Lin Bingrui share the same boss?!"

"This Jiang Family of Jincheng, wasn't it just a top clan of Jincheng? How does he have such tremendous power?!"

"What does Jiang Chen want to do? Could it be that he aims to become the uncrowned king of the Flame Dragon business world?"

"How dare he do this? Isn't he afraid that the business world of Flame Dragon will rise against him?"

The people in the meeting room shouted out in shock.

"Master Qin, in your earlier words, you kept emphasizing one term, import and export channels, does this mean..." Lu Junsheng frowned as he looked at Qin Mo.

Qin Mo looked at Lu Junsheng appreciatively, "Family Head Lu, truly a professional in finance and investment, directly pointing at the crux of the matter!"

Turning his head to glance at the others in the meeting room, Qin Mo's eyes flashed with disdain, "If everyone in the Sanzhu Commerce Alliance behaved like you, always blustering and scrambling at the first sign of trouble, the alliance would have collapsed long ago!"

The crowd's faces changed, and they chuckled sheepishly.

"Please enlighten us, Master Qin." A man spoke respectfully.

Qin Mo glanced at the man, speaking softly, "Zhang Long and Lin Bingrui, in their campaigns, do not aim for comprehensive domination. There are some industries they don't touch at all. However, wherever it concerns import and export channels, they spare no effort to acquire them."

"Yi Chen and Longteng, they are not involved in every industry, their scope of business is limited to less than ten industries, and they conduct business with utmost sincerity. Companies that have worked with them all say that these two are conscientious companies and that cooperating with them results in win-win situations. However, when it comes to acquisitions in import and export, they are definitely tough."

"Of course, now including the acquisition of a pharmaceutical company, what does this imply? It implies that Jiang Chen's target is very clear—he is absolutely unyielding when it comes to the channels of import and export and pharmaceutical companies!"

Lu Junsheng's eyes brightened as he spoke in a deep voice, "If that is the case, perhaps there is room for discussion!"

"Yes, if it's just these two matters, we have room for discussion!"

"But, if they control the import and export, cutting off the flow of our goods, aren't we still like fish on the chopping board?"

"You're right, we can't compromise!"

Voices of discussion rose again in the meeting room.

Whirr... Squeak!

A stretch Rolls-Royce stopped at the entrance of the Sanzhu Commerce Alliance headquarters.

Click!

The car door opened, and Jiang Chen, Spirit You, and Qingyuan Yingzi stepped out.

"According to the information provided by Flame Dragon Group, apart from the Lyu Family, everyone else of Sanzhu Commerce Alliance is gathered here," Spirit You said in a low voice, pointing at the headquarters building of Sanzhu Commerce Alliance.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "They are discussing how to deal with me. Let's go and see if they have come up with any solutions, and also if Lu Junsheng's illegitimate child mentioned in the information is indeed the person I know."

The three walked towards the headquarters building of the Commerce Alliance.

"Excuse me, sir, madam, how may I help you?"

Upon entering the Sanzhu Commerce Alliance headquarters building, a receptionist approached Jiang Chen and his companions.

Jiang Chen gave a slight smile, "I am looking for Qin Mo and Lu Junsheng."

"President Qin and President Lu?"

The receptionist was taken aback for a moment, sizing up Jiang Chen with a hint of suspicion, "Sir, do you have an appointment?"

"I don't need an appointment to see them. Inform them Jiang Chen is here, they will let me up," Jiang Chen said with a calm smile.

The receptionist paused for a moment, visibly surprised, nodded in confusion, and forced a smile, gesturing towards the nearby seating area, "Please take a seat for a moment, I will inform them."

"Alright!"

Jiang Chen nodded and headed to the seating area.

As the receptionist watched Jiang Chen and the others take their seats, they hurriedly ran into the reception desk, observing Jiang Chen and his companions from afar while dialing a number on the intercom phone.

"Beep... Beep... Hello."

A man's voice came through the receiver. The receptionist hesitated, glancing at the intercom screen, and confusedly asked, "Hello, this is the front desk. Is this the general affairs department?"

"Yes, this is the general affairs department, and this is the office of the general affairs director. I am Lu Yunbo, Lin Bingrui has gone to the restroom. What do you need?"

Hearing this, the receptionist quickly replied respectfully, "Mr. Lu, sorry, I didn't recognize your voice. There is a Mr. Jiang Chen here to see President Lu and President Qin."

"What, the boss is here?!"

An excited cheer came through the phone.
