Chapter 280 Management Rights

Xiangshui County.

Changqing Mountain.

Someone from the Zhao royal family has arrived. He has come to the ancestral land of the Li family.

Li Qianqing, who thought of this, had already been waiting in Changqing Mountain.

The Zhao royal family is a top Jindan cultivation family. Its comprehensive strength is not inferior to any of the four major Jindan sects. The Li family should give the royal family's foundation-building cultivators the face they should give.

Not only did the head of the Li family welcome him, but when he talked to him, all the Li family foundation-building cultivators in Changqing Mountain arrived.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, please sit down."

"Yes."

When Zhao Zongyong sat down, Li Cunliu, Li Lilong and Li Qianqing sat down one after another.

This was very face-saving for Zhao Zongyong and also for the Zhao royal family.

It was okay not to give such face. Their Li family was affiliated with Qingfeng Valley, and now it was considered a top foundation-building cultivation family. Even if they didn't give it to the other party, they wouldn't feel any problem, but they felt very comfortable if they gave it to the other party.

"You three should all know what I'm here for this time." Zhao Zongyong had a smile on his face. He was very satisfied with the treatment given by the Li family.

Of course, the prerequisite for this is that the robbery of the cultivator market in Caolong County was not directed by the Li family.

When they first received the news, they immediately thought that the Li family directed and acted a good show, and the purpose was to take over the management power of the five cultivator markets in Xiangshui County.

Regarding this matter, their royal Zhao family also went through an investigation.

It was found that it was not the Li family who directed and acted, but the forces wanted to hinder the development of the Li family, so there was an incident of robbery and looting the cultivator market in Caolong County. If it weren't for the Li family's foundation-building cultivator who happened to be nearby, the overall loss of the cultivator market in Caolong County would be considerable.

According to the speed of the Li family's rise in recent decades, after investigation, they can only think that it was the Li family's luck.

The history of the Zhao family is very long. They have seen some lucky immortal cultivation families, but they all disappeared in the end. If we talk about the most lucky immortal cultivation family in Zhao State, it must be the royal family of Zhao State. Therefore, they are more convinced of the concept of luck.

"Of course I know." Li Qianqing took over Zhao Zongyong's words, "There is a problem with the cultivator market in Caolong County. Now the temporary manager there is our Li family cultivator. If we don't do this, the order of the market can't continue."

The manager is still the Zhao royal family. Now even if their Li family agrees, a group of casual cultivators living in the cultivator market are not happy.

"I really didn't expect this to happen." Zhao Zongyong said.

"I really didn't expect it." Li Qianqing nodded in agreement, and Li Cunliu and Li Lilong also responded beside him.

Zhao Zongyong just sighed softly when he saw this. If they found out that it was the Li family's fault, and now the three foundation-building cultivators of the Li family responded to him like this, his temper would have risen long ago.

Unfortunately, the Li family was lucky. If they were not so lucky, the looting of the cultivator market would have an impact on the Li family. Of course, it would also have an impact on the Zhao royal family, but the impact would definitely not be great. Unlike now, he has to come here in person.

"Friend Zhao, let's be frank. Judging from the current situation in Xiangshui County, it is not easy for you to manage the cultivator market. It is better to hand it over to us." At this point, Li Qianqing paused, and then continued, "It just so happens that our Li family has the energy now. If it were in the past, we really didn't have the energy to manage it."

Li Qianqing said the truth, and his tone was not tough, which actually sounded okay to Zhao Zongyong.

"Let me think about it." Zhao Zongyong pretended to think.

Li Qianqing and the other two did not speak when they saw this, but just looked at him quietly.

Zhao Zongyong, who pretended to think, knew very well in his heart that after this incident, the management rights of the cultivator market must be handed over. Since what happened was not planned by the Li family, they could not ask for too much when handing over the management rights of the market.

If the two things of the robbery and the timely rescue of the Li family's foundation-building cultivators were missing, the royal Zhao family would not have to hand over the management rights of the five small cultivator markets in Xiangshui County.

Zhao State is very large, with many counties and many cultivator markets.

More than 60% of the managers of the cultivator markets are cultivators sent by the royal family of Zhao State, and more than 80% of the remaining cultivator markets have participated in the distribution of benefits.

Taken together, the cultivator markets provide a lot of benefits to the royal Zhao family every year, and they attach great importance to the overall issues of the cultivator markets.

Therefore, in the cultivator markets, there are similar words spreading, 'The managers of the market must be cultivators sent by the royal family, so that they can bring absolute fairness to the market. If the managers of the market are local forces above the foundation-building level, especially for some scattered cultivators and small forces, they will definitely be treated unfairly...'

The spread of similar words is conducive to their getting more benefits from the cultivator markets.

If it is a county with more complex forces, the managers of the cultivator market must be cultivators from their royal Zhao family. There is no doubt about this. The forces are complex and there are many disputes over interests. In this case, it is not easy for local forces above the foundation building level to manage the cultivator market.

But in a county like Xiangshui County where only one family dominates, the situation is different.

Here they must increase the dissemination of these contents. Soon after the Li family eliminated the Jiang family, they also did so. After that, they still had to continue to increase the dissemination. As a result, this incident made the information previously instilled in the scattered cultivators have little effect.

What they want now is not fairness. Let's take security into consideration first.

Zhao Zongyong had read the information about the Li family before he came. Since the Li family rose in Xiangshui County, they have been very good at seizing opportunities to send out robbers to rob and rescue the Li family's foundation-building cultivators. They will definitely continue to spread the news, with the goal of taking over the management rights of the cultivator market.

The stronger the Li family's control over Xiangshui County, the more stable his position as the overlord will be, and he will not be easily impacted by external foundation-building forces.

"Okay." Zhao Zongyong nodded after pretending to think, then made a gesture and said, "But our royal family wants 30% of the profits of the market."

The royal Zhao family gave him the task of striving for more than 30% of the profits.

If this matter was directed and acted by the Li family, even if the management rights of the market were given to the Li family, they would still want more than 80% of the profits. Of course, in this case, the Li family wants to get the management rights of the market now, but their comprehensive strength is still a little short, so they generally won't give it.

There are more than one foundation-building cultivators coming here, so it is convenient to get more compensation.

Once the matter of collusion with the robbers came out, the Zhao royal family had a reason to destroy the Li family!

"Too much." Li Qianqing shook his head.

"Too much indeed." Li Lilong nodded in agreement.

Li Cunliu said this directly, "Friend Zhao, when the management of the market is in your hands, our Li family only has 10% of the profit."

After the Li family became the overlord of Xiangshui County, they also talked to the royal Zhao family about the management of the cultivator market. Under the negotiation, their Li family only has 10% of the profit, and when necessary, they have to assist the royal Zhao family in handling some things, although the latter has not done so far, but these are all in the conditions.

"We can only give 10%." Speaking of the previous things, Li Cunliu just wanted to lead to this sentence.

When Zhao Zongyong wanted to say something, Li Qianqing spoke.

He said before Zhao Zongyong, "We give 10% of the profits, and you don't have to do anything for your royal family. If anything happens in the market, our Li family will handle it."

Combined with this, they are at least better than the previous royal Zhao family, but the reality is another matter. After all, as the royal family of Zhao, their strength is very strong, and their Li family is still a foundation-building family.

"Giving 10% is too little. We have made a big concession by giving the management rights of the market." Zhao Zongyong said what he said regardless of what Li Qianqing said.

"No, Zhao Daoyou, you are wrong. Now you don't give the management rights of the market, and the managers are unlikely to be the cultivators you send. This is not the choice of our Li family." Li Qianqing smiled and corrected Zhao Zongyong's words.

This is the choice of most cultivators in the cultivator market.

"Unless you can send a foundation-building manager, you will definitely be able to reassure them." Li Qianqing continued to say that if you can send a foundation-building manager, it will not be as simple as reassuring them, but also make them shut up completely.

The Zhao royal family would definitely not send people like this, as it would be too disadvantageous for them. If they sent Foundation Establishment cultivators, not to mention whether the local forces would be at ease, even the Jindan Sect would definitely not be able to do it.

The Zhao royal family did not have so many cultivators. Their attitude could be seen from the fact that the managers they sent were cultivators of other surnames.

The larger the cultivator market, the higher the annual income must be. The income of the other five cultivator markets in Xiangshui County combined was not as good as that of the cultivator market in Tongyang County.

The interests of the cultivator market in Tongyang County were divided between Qingfeng Valley and the Zhao royal family. After their Li family eliminated the Jiang family, they only did business in the cultivator market in Tongyang County and did not need to pay extra fees.

Giving more or less to the Zhao royal family would not have much impact on them. After all, the annual income was only so much, but the impact on the Li family was still great. The gap between their Li family and the Zhao family was too big.

The four people talked like this for half an hour during the negotiation.

Zhao Zongyong was basically at a disadvantage.

He had no other options. After all, when something like this happened, the managers sent by the Zhao royal family were too different from the Li family cultivators.

He couldn't raise the profit by one percent no matter what he said.

In the end, Zhao Zongyong had no other options. If he couldn't get the upper hand, he could only use soft tactics.

"Let me tell you the truth. The minimum mission given to me by the family this time is to get 15% of the profit, otherwise I won't be able to explain it when I go back." Zhao Zongyong was telling the truth.

Now he said this soft word, and there was no other way.
