The old man leaned back in his chair and spoke slowly, “Confidence, confidence is important. Your own confidence, and the confidence others have in you.”

> Qingxi is already very old.

The deep wrinkles on his face, the scattered age spots, all told of the marks of time. They were perhaps history, or maybe just stories.

In recent years, the Four Seas Merchant Alliance seems to have been declining just like him.

But this day never sets, and night never comes.

Many people believe that the Si Hai Shang Meng is outdated and old-fashioned. It has a long history, of course, and it carries the air of the past.

The era of jubilation should be in the past, yet it exists vividly in the present.

How long was he the leader of the Sihai Business Alliance

This question is asked by many people, even within the Four Seas Merchant Alliance. Many people have no answer.

Because it has been too long.

When many people knew about the Four Seas Commerce Alliance, Qǐ Xī was already the master of the Four Seas Commerce Alliance.

"Just like Qí Xī and the Four Seas Merchant Alliance, both are now in their twilight years, and a long night is approaching." This was Su Shè's former evaluation.

The following sentence states that the Treasure Association is like the rising sun, which will eventually shine in the sky after a long night.

It's just that twilight, it came too late.

In recent years, the biggest crisis facing the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce has been in Yang Kingdom.

>

This business, built on monopolizing Yangdi's land and rebuilding it, sucks the life out of the Yangdi people to sustain itself.

But unexpectedly, there was a difference in chess moves. The Battle of Qiyang came as a surprise to the Shang Alliance, and the Jubao Merchant Guild, led by Chongxuan Chuliang in this battle, was targeted. The Jubao Merchant Guild bet on Chongxuan's family and won a fortune.

The enormous investment in Yangdi proved to be a total disaster, resulting in catastrophic losses. Even when the high-ranking official Fu Miao went to the military camp personally to negotiate, it was all in vain. Not only were the losses unrecoverable, but he was also injured, having an ear cut off. He returned humiliated and disgraced.

Facing the rising power of the Heavy Xuan family, who dominated after the war, the Four Seas Merchant Alliance remained silent. They gritted their teeth and swallowed their blood, enduring the losses with a heavy heart.

The earliest Four Seas Merchant Alliance was a loose alliance of eighteen merchant guilds. The system of executives was a result of the power structure continuing from that time.

Today, the twelve Chief Magistrates still represent the highest will of the Four Seas Alliance, but the names of those earlier guilds have gradually been forgotten.

Ever since its inception, the Four Seas Merchant Alliance has been under the undisputed control of Qingshi. However, things have changed in recent years, and hearts are starting to waver.

...or perhaps they are simply less invested in the affairs of the business alliance, or their efforts have become ineffective… In any case, there has been a growing number of dissenting voices within the Four Seas Business Alliance.

At that time, faced with the huge losses from facing the sun, the mainstream opinion within the Four Seas Merchant Alliance was to retaliate at all costs. The position of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance in the business world was not to be challenged. It was only because of Qing Xi's strong suppression that this matter went down.

It was precisely this decision that allowed many to see that Qing Xi still held the power to make decisions for the Commercial Alliance.

It was precisely because of the correctness of this decision that the Four Seas Merchant Alliance weathered the crisis smoothly, and thus waited until Chong Xuan Sheng and the Ju Bao Merchant Association fell out. When the Ju Bao Merchant Association suffered heavy losses, the Four Seas Merchant Alliance took advantage of the situation to prosper.

Qing Xi's prestige was once again established.

For many years, the Sihai Merchant League rose and fell like this, but it always remained the top merchant firm in Qi.

Fu Mù stood beside him, his severed ear making him hear everything more clearly: "At a time like this, who is undermining Jù Bǎo's confidence"

"Chong Xuan Sheng, Wang Yi Wu, those small businesses that have been connecting recently... there are too many possibilities." Qing Xi slowly said, "Of course, it could also be us."

"Wang Yiwu"

Behind this matter lies the fall of either Chongxuan Sheng or the Sihai Merchant Alliance, and Fu Miao can understand that. Even those small interconnected businesses might be involved, after all, with the market having stabilized for so long, the big players falling opens up space for them to enter.

But... Wang Yiwu

Ching Hee raised her hand without explanation. “The Four Seas Merchant Alliance is also like me, getting old, with bad teeth and not very good at eating. I let them eat freely, but they didn't eat much either.”

He sighed: "In terms of vision and execution ability, they are far inferior to Xuan Sheng."

“You must be in good health.” Fu Miao complimented, “If you were to step forward, the situation would certainly be different.”

But in his heart, he didn't think so.

The actions of the Shangmeng in Yangdi were ugly and corrupt... Although Fu Mu Yi was also involved, he knew very well. They had completely deviated from the past practices of the Sihai Merchant Alliance. It wasn't that the Sihai Merchant Alliance had always been upright and benevolent. Rather, the former Sihai Merchant Alliance would never have acted so brazenly and disgustingly.

He could see clearly that the other stewards weren't fools either. Who couldn't see it It was just that they didn't want to see, or they didn't care. They only cared about themselves and what was right in front of them.

Here's the English translation, keeping the HTML tags intact:>Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The current Four Seas Merchant Alliance is indeed bloated, rife with corruption.

Even though Qing Xi holds the reins, it's hard to say whether she can truly control every detail. Perhaps...Qing Xi only made the decision to cooperate with Chong Xuan, and didn't get involved in the specific details. It's possible this is all a cover-up.

Of course, these thoughts were only dared to be pondered in his heart, never to be spoken aloud.

Qing Xi remained noncommittal, seemingly unaware of his insincerity. She simply closed her eyes slowly and instructed, "Go do it."

What he needed to do was naturally cooperate with the news that had already appeared, further letting people know about the "dire straits" of the Treasure Merchant Association.

Fu Miao's heart moved with sympathy. She gently tucked the blanket around the old leader and then quietly withdrew.

This small courtyard has been around for a long time, and the air is filled with the scent of time.

As he reached the door, he suddenly felt his joints were stiff and ached, almost unable to lift his leg... but it quickly returned to normal.

I've been so stressed lately. I think...

The Grand Marshal's Mansion of the State.

When Wang Yiwu entered, Wen Lianmu was still idly playing with the chess pieces. Taking a closer look, he saw that the black and white pieces on the board were arranged into the characters "Wen Lian," and the character "Mu" was also half finished.

Wang Yiwu couldn't help but say: "Nowadays, even three-year-old children don't play like this."

Wen Lianmu curled his lips. "I'm not your big brother, what's the point of playing chess with yourself Is the conflict resolution in the army finished"

"Just a trifle." Wang Yiwu waved his hand dismissively and asked, "Has the news been spread"

Wen Lianmu knew he was talking about the Qixinglou. He stopped writing and looked up at him, "This news wasn't 'released' by us, it was Chong Xuan Sheng himself who took the trouble to 'find' it. The timing is up to him."

Wang Yiwu nodded in agreement: "The Ju Bao Merchant Association"

Wen Lianmu remained noncommittal. "Has Su Shea contacted you"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Yes."

What do you think

"The cooperation with the Baoju Merchant Guild was A-zun's decision. Although I can't get in touch with him now, this is his stall, and of course, I have to respect his opinion."

"Who helped Su She get ahead"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Wang Yiwu nodded. "That's right."

"Maintaining cooperative relations, preventing He Xuan's schemes, consolidating the market..." Wen Lianmu nodded and said, "Yes, very reasonable."

Wang Yiwu said nothing and waited for his next words.

Then go.

Wang Yiwu was taken aback, apparently surprised that Wen Lianmu hadn't stopped him.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "And what about you What do you do"

"You go help Su She gain face and bolster morale. In short, do whatever you can to help, but don't force anything you can't."

Wen Lianmu smiled: "As for me..."

He picked up a piece and continued setting the unfinished "pastor" character.

"I helped bury him."
