Infinite true path

Although Huan Yin had many thoughts about the Sli family, on the surface, his expression remained the same. Naturally, it was impossible for Huan Yin to tell Donghuang Yu'er what happened between him and the Sli family. After all, they were only in a cooperative relationship now, and Huan Yin would not tell her everything.

So, Huan Yin finally just smiled and said perfunctorily: "The first city I entered after eight days in the west was Xijian Chengtian. You also said that the Sli family is a prominent family in Xijian Chengtian. , how could I not have heard of it?”

Donghuang Yu'er nodded and didn't think much about it. Then, she continued: "Although the Slee family is our most suitable target at present, such suitability is only relative. Compared with the material suppliers trained by the military, they naturally appear suitable. However, now they Our family is big and our business is huge, and our assets have already exceeded mine by a hundred times. If we really want to compete, the current Yan family will never be their opponent. "

Huan Yin smiled and said: "Miss Yan is a businessman. I heard that Miss Yan led the lonely Yan family to turn around the situation with her own strength. Come to think of it, Miss Yan's business methods may be It’s not simple either. And since Miss Yan knows who her opponent is, she must have studied her opponent quite a bit. If my guess is right, Miss Yan should have a plan, so I might as well tell you.”

Donghuang Yuer only felt that nothing could be hidden from Huan Yin. After this conversation, her awe and fear of Huan Yin became more and more. Finally, she said: "Over the years, I have been thinking about leading the Yan family to turn over, so I had already thought about the strategy of competing with the Slee family decades ago."

"If we want to defeat the Slee family and compete in terms of materials, I am afraid that the results will be very small and the work will be very tiring. However, if we can broaden our thinking and not focus on materials, but develop the entire industry chain downstream , considering the finished product that the material can produce, the situation may be different. ”

"My three major families have been operating the materials business in the Western Eight Days for too long. Resource allocation, structure, etc. have almost become fixed, and fixed decisions cannot help my Yan family break the predicament. Only change can survive. Way. As early as decades ago, I discovered that as material suppliers, none of our three major families have fully utilized one of the advantages of materials, which is that materials are the basis for making elixirs, magic weapons, instruments, etc. "

"As a material supplier, we have a lot of low-cost materials in our hands. The way our three major families compete is to either have more materials or to have cheaper materials, but no one has ever thought about going. Use the materials you have. But once you use them, that is what I call developing the entire industry chain, it will be different."

"Three pieces of crystal essence can only be sold for less than thirty immortal jade, but if it is turned into a sword, even if the grade is not good, there are hundreds of immortal jade. And the difference in profit is huge. So I think, if we can By cultivating a group of alchemists, weapon masters and even craftsmen, you can continuously expand the utility of the resources you control. In this way, the initial simple material competition will become more advanced due to the extension of the industrial chain. Competition. Whoever develops downstream will be more competitive. This competitiveness can even make up for the lack of upstream competitiveness.”

"The most important thing is that doing this is to take the initiative to create changes, and changes can break the situation. Especially if you can cultivate a group of outstanding talents and firmly control them in your own hands, they will become core competitiveness. Such Competitiveness is not like materials, which are easily available to others. The same materials can be bought and found, but it takes a lot of time and energy to cultivate excellent talents. In this way, as long as the long-term development continues, the advantages will be great. It will become more and more obvious. Although my Yan family is weak, it is possible to turn around!"

Donghuang Yuer's words came out in one go. It was obvious that her idea, as she said, had been brewing in her mind for too long. After hearing this, Huan Yin gradually looked at Dong Huang Yu'er with some suspicion.

It is said that Donghuang Yu'er, as the head of the Donghuang Royal Family of this generation, is as good as any man in a daughter's family. She managed to survive with the barely surviving Donghuang Royal Family and gradually recovered. It seems that this is really true. As the head of the family, Donghuang Yuer's business acumen is incredible!

However, just when Huan Yin saw hope, Donghuang Yu'er's face suddenly dimmed. She added: "If I had not listened to the Generalissimo's promise not to leave the family decades ago, perhaps my Yan family would have returned to its former glory. Unfortunately, I mistakenly believed in the Generalissimo, thinking that as long as I completed my mission, I would be able to return to my family. With his help, my family can rise more easily, and even replace the material supplier trained by the military..."

"This mistake cost my Yan family decades. And during the decades I was away, the other two material suppliers finally figured it out. They have started to develop downstream in the industrial chain, and even if The Slee family has been developing for ten years. Now, they have initial core competitiveness, but our Yan family has been left far behind..."

Huan Yin could understand Donghuang Yu'er's bitterness. No one expected that things would be like this. This situation is almost as if God is jealous of the talents and fate is playing tricks on people. Donghuang Yuer has a brain, but no time.

If Dong Huang Royal starts to develop downstream in the industrial chain now, they will inevitably run into obstacles at every turn and will be severely suppressed by the other two companies. Unless they can have ready-made masters of weapons and alchemy to directly establish their core competitiveness, they may not even have a chance to rise up.

"I know how to refine weapons. If I help the Yan family, the Yan family can definitely surpass the other two families in refining weapons very quickly. However, as a senior patrol envoy Yan Yang, if I stay in the Eastern Imperial Palace to refine weapons, how can I not Being suspected? I have the ability to help, but I can't." Huan Yin sighed secretly.

"Miss Yan, do you know if there are any capable people in the Western Eight Heavens? We can pay a lot of money to invite them. Some things require sacrifice to achieve success." Huan Yin suddenly said.

Donghuang Yuer shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Now the two major material families have almost monopolized all talents in all aspects of the Western Eight Days. Now it is almost impossible for us to intervene. Unless..."

"Unless what?" Huan Yin asked.

Donghuang Yuer smiled and said: "Forget it, I have tried this person too many times. He is lazy by nature and has a weird temper. I can't get him."

Huan Yin said: "Please don't move? Miss Donghuang, now your family has entered a desperate situation. If you don't even have this determination, what is the difference between sitting back and watching the family annihilate? As long as he can really help, even if If he was kidnapped, he must be kidnapped now.”

Upon hearing this, Donghuang Yu'er was stunned when he looked at Huan Yin, and then said: "My lord is right, that man has a high level of cultivation, and there is nothing I can do about it, but if the lord takes action, maybe it can be done!"

Huan Yin's face twitched involuntarily, and he suddenly realized that Donghuang Yu'er had been complaining for a long time, all of which seemed to be a preparation for saying this sentence. She was afraid that she had already thought about it and wanted to help herself.

Now that he was on a ship, Huan Yin had to rely on Donghuang Yu'er for eight days to regain the west. He knew even more clearly that the central government's military power in the city was all fake. So Huan Yin finally said: "Girl, please tell me about this person."

Donghuang Yuer's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and it was quite cute. Then, she said: "This man is from a wild mountain outside the city. He calls himself Beard. He is extremely low-key. I know him because..."

"Beard! Are you talking about an alchemist?" Before Donghuang Yuer finished speaking, Huan Yin interrupted her with a look of shock.

Donghuang Yuer nodded in surprise, and Huan Yin then asked: "Did he have a beard inserted into all his elixirs?"

Donghuang Yu'er said: "Not entirely, I have only seen that kind of high-level elixir once."
