Qin An naturally noticed it, but he didn't feel anything and just wanted to laugh.
This guy's idea is extremely stupid. He doesn't think that he does all these things just for money, does he?
To be honest, even if he wanted to make money, the other party didn't think about why he didn't use his relationship with Ningguang and instead took such a troublesome path?
Besides, the value of the underwear industry alone is no less than that of the entire Donglai Chamber of Commerce.
But even so, I have no intention of caring about it.
For Qin An, no matter how much Mora he had, it was just external material possessions. What he thought about most was how to complete the system task so that he could go home.
After Li San came in, he secretly observed Qin An's expression.
Seeing that Qin An just urinated a little and didn't say anything else, my evaluation of Qin An increased a little.
I began to smile bitterly in my heart, for I had thought that the other party was just an ordinary big shot, but I didn't expect that he looked so young, yet was so difficult to deal with.
From the moment they first met and the way he treated people, Li San knew that Qin An was definitely not simple.
Unexpectedly, the other party was even more powerful than I imagined.
Fortunately, Li San is a smart guy and has come into contact with all kinds of people.
After he arrived at Ma Li, he asked people to start their journey while he stayed with Qin An and talked.
Li San speaks very skillfully. He is afraid of saying something wrong, so he just talks about things that will never go wrong.
For example, Donglai Chamber of Commerce.
Li San simply introduced the composition and main business scope of Donglai Chamber of Commerce.
Qin An listened very carefully.
The main reason is that he really doesn’t understand.
Before, he had been idle with Zhongli all day long. He was quite familiar with Liyue's affairs such as eating, drinking and having fun, but he was not familiar with other aspects.
Since the other party has set his sights on him, how could he not learn more about him?
Seeing that Qin An was able to listen, Li San finally felt relieved.
He knew very well that the key to his mission this time was not to make any mistakes.
Since Qin An was willing to listen, Li San did not hide anything that could be easily found out.
Thanks to Li San's diligence, Qin An had a simple understanding of the Donglai Chamber of Commerce.
At the same time, he knew clearly why Li Donglai invited him. If he guessed correctly, he must be thinking of the Workers' Mutual Aid Association.
Interesting. Qin An originally couldn’t figure out what the other party wanted to do, but now he understands... the other party is in a hurry to reincarnate.
The development of Donglai Chamber of Commerce is different from that of ordinary chambers of commerce. Even if Qin An only heard the information from Li San, he understood the operation mode of Donglai Chamber of Commerce... It is very capital-intensive.
To put it bluntly, they will definitely exploit their workers.
If there had been no Liyue Workers' Mutual Aid Association before, there would be nothing wrong with the Donglai Chamber of Commerce doing this.
However, since Qin An developed the Liyue Workers Mutual Aid Association, the Donglai Chamber of Commerce will definitely face the problem of how to improve the treatment of workers.
What? You mean it's still the same as before?
Then Qin An will definitely not sit idly by. The purpose of the mutual aid association is to allow every worker to legally protect his or her rights and interests.
Besides, Qin An won’t need to say anything when the time comes, as the workers in the workshops of the Donglai Chamber of Commerce will take action on their own.
They will protest, after all, the fact has already happened, and it is impossible for the Donglai Chamber of Commerce to pretend to be dead.
If the Donglai Chamber of Commerce still wants to use the same kind of power to oppress others as before... just wait and see whether the Liyue officials will do anything or not.
Chapter 112: Wealth and Prosperity
It was because of this possibility that Li Donglai thought about finding a legal identity for himself.
Making friends with Qin An is what he wants to do most at the moment.
Li Donglai planned that as long as he could please Qin An and let the Workers' Mutual Aid Association protect the Donglai Chamber of Commerce, he would have nothing to worry about.
This incident seemed to be a crisis for the Chamber of Commerce as a whole, but Li Dongzi believed that he had seized an opportunity.
After a brief investigation into the structure of the mutual aid association, he realized that the key to this matter lay with Qin An.
If they just bribe Qin An, the status of Donglai Chamber of Commerce in Liyue Harbor will be further enhanced.
The carriage was moving at a fast pace and soon arrived at a wealthy area. There were many large courtyards here, and the appearance was full of jewels and gems.
There is a stone lion carved from white jade guarding the main entrance, which is quite a feat.
"Mr. Qin, please."
Li San was very good at keeping a low profile when doing things. He deliberately got out of the car early, lifted the curtain and spoke to Qin An with a flattering look on his face.
Qin An didn't say much. He and Jiahe were curious about the practices of the Donglai Chamber of Commerce.
Qin An was very confused about one thing. He wondered where the Donglai Chamber of Commerce got the confidence to be able to take over his business?
Qin An discovered this from Li San's performance and behavior. From the moment they met, although Li San was trying hard to please him, he did things with an unwarranted confidence.
It's as if they think they will definitely obey them.
Qin An didn't understand where this confidence came from.
I was still wondering what benefits the Donglai Chamber of Commerce would give me to please me.
Qin An thought about the conditions that he might agree to, but he felt that the Donglai Chamber of Commerce would definitely not agree to them.
It’s not that Qin An necessarily wants to go against these chambers of commerce. On the contrary, he really wants to reach cooperation with them, and the cooperation requirements are really too simple.
As long as the members of the Chamber of Commerce give up capital development, do not exploit ordinary workers, and think about contributing to the development of Liyue Harbor, that will be enough.
This is not an unreasonable request, and Qin An has not required these people to give up their own profits.
But Qin An thought about it and based on what Li San had just described, it would be the most outrageous if the Donglai Chamber of Commerce could agree to such conditions.
Human blood steamed buns are addictive. Once you have tasted them, it is hard to resist.
If Li Donglai really wanted to settle these troubles, he could just bring his people to the dock to discuss various matters openly.
Judging from what he saw now, Li Donglai sent someone to pick me up, and he must have been thinking of using some means to bribe me and achieve some unknown purpose.
Oh, it’s not unknown. At least after Qin An thought about it, he could easily guess what Li Donglai wanted to do.
Li Donglai's mansion was incredibly large. Since entering the gate of the courtyard, Qin An had no idea how far he had walked into the courtyard.
Along the way, there are all kinds of pavilions and waterside terraces, as well as several large gardens, in which there are many young girls with slim figures, who are busy weeding and growing flowers.
During the whole process, Li San did not speak, but just led Qin An to visit the scenes in the mansion.
Qin An also realized that Li San was deliberately taking him in circles. If they were really in a hurry, whose back garden would be built in the front yard?
Li Donglai wanted to use this method to tell Qin An that he has money and as long as he is willing to cooperate with my work, the Mora Donglai Chamber of Commerce can pay him any amount.
Unfortunately, the same thing happens again.
The person Qin An was least interested in was Mora.
He was not interested in Li Donglai's behavior of showing off his wealth.
Oh! That's not right. He was quite curious about where Li Donglai got so many Moras. According to Li San's introduction, if they were doing legitimate business, Donglai Chamber of Commerce didn't seem to deserve such luxury.
After a long and boring period of showing off wealth, Qin An finally came to the main hall.
At least that's how he looked.
The building in front was more solemn than the luxurious attic before. The main door was also open, and a solid middle-aged man could be seen sitting inside waiting.
The silk he was wearing should be of the same material as the one Li San was wearing, but the style was much more gorgeous.
The jade belt and pendant around the waist, as well as the jade on the hands, all exude a Mora aura.
Qin An felt like a nouveau riche who suddenly became rich and was trying his best to show off.
It’s just a little interesting that Li Donglai seems very contradictory. On the one hand he shows off his wealth, on the other hand he pretends to be simple and elegant.
When Qin An arrived, his eyes lit up, but in order to appear polite, he still stood up slowly and put down the ancient book in his hand.
Qin An thought to himself, this guy definitely had no intention of reading the book just now, he was definitely just pretending!
Li Donglai was exactly as Qin An thought.
Before this, he seemed very calm, but in fact, he was just pretending.
Li Donglai was very clear about the importance of Qin An to the future development of Donglai Chamber of Commerce. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the person who decided life and death.
The reason why he pretended to be so calm was that he was afraid of being caught by Qin An and afraid that Qin An would ask for too much.
However, he had no idea that Qin An had no intention of speaking at all.
"Mr. Qin, it is such an honor for you to be my humble abode."
Li Donglai is a very contradictory person.
He clearly seemed to have done his best, but he seemed too enthusiastic the moment he came into contact with Qin An.
This shows that Li Donglai still lacks confidence.
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Qin An looked very kind on the surface, and he pushed others around modestly.
At Li Donglai's invitation, he came to the side hall.
Qin An originally heard that it was a side hall, so he thought it would be more low-key. However, after passing through a wooden door, the surrounding space suddenly became much wider.
The huge living room is filled with luxurious furniture and antiques, and is decorated in quite a tasteful way.
Mainly, the carpets, curtains and unknown utensils are all inlaid with gold edges.
Qin An thought, judging by this guy's character, the things on here must be real gold.
The surrounding environment is highlighted by its wealth.
So the main hall is still low-key?
Qin An sighed in his heart, he is indeed a nouveau riche, his ability to make things happen is first-rate.
Li Donglai was also secretly observing Qin An's expression, and he discovered something very special.
Even though he had clearly displayed his wealth on purpose, the young man wasn't surprised at all!
