Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

In the end, Ying'er paid twice the market price and bought the other party's snow mountain mint.

This thing is an essential material for making high-end cooling ointment, and you can't not want it.

Watching the waiter leave, Ying'er shook her head helplessly, but soon regained her smile and looked at Wang Que who was standing aside.

"Sir, would you like to see the ointment?"

Her eyes and eyebrows are full of tenderness, which makes people feel good about her.

Unfortunately, Wang Que is now a beast of burden who only cares about Mora.

"Ms. Ying'er, from what I heard you talking just now, it seems that the prices of things in Mond have increased dramatically recently?" Wang Que asked.

Seeing that Wang Que wasn't here to buy anything, Ying'er didn't seem impatient and nodded slightly, "It's true that prices have gone up dramatically. The price of this snow mountain mint has doubled. I heard that other things are also going up in price, especially the wine, which has doubled."

The people of Liyue love tea, wine, and food.

Mondstadt's wine industry is already famous and has a good market in Liyue.

Well, in Liyue, the largest supplier of Mondstadt wine is the Dawn Winery.

"Oh, I see. Thank you, Miss Ying'er." Wang Que bowed and expressed his gratitude.

Ying'er shook her head. "No need to thank me. If you need ointment in the future, I'll just take care of your business."

Wang Que nodded: "Sure."

Farewell Ying'er.

Wang Que continued walking towards the dock.

Arriving at the pier,

The docks of Liyue are always busy.

The place was already bustling with people.

A large number of laborers gathered at the dock, waiting for the ship to dock.

Whenever a ship docked, they would rush forward like industrious ants and move countless cargoes off the ship.

On the pier,

The man in the General Affairs Department uniform was watching intently.

Do these goods match those reported by the fleet? Is anyone smuggling them?

These things must be checked by the General Affairs Department staff, and then reported to the Shipping Department for inclusion in taxes.

We arrived at an official residence at the dock, where people were coming and going, and a large number of businessmen were hanging around.

This is the Shipping Department, which is also the place where port affairs are handled.

Wang Que found a vacant port officer.

"Excuse me, are there many ships coming from Mond recently?"

The harbor officer was a woman, probably in her thirties, followed by two young men who seemed to be learning from her.

Hearing Wang Que's question, the harbor officer looked at him strangely: "Is there something wrong with you?"

Wang Que smiled and said, "I'm thinking of traveling to Mondejingfu Port soon. If there are any ships going there, I'd like to take a ride."

The port officer nodded in understanding. Hitchhiking was a very normal thing. Liyue merchant ships traveled between various countries, and people often hitched a ride to other countries.

"There have indeed been more applications for ships traveling to and from Mondjingfu Port recently, but they haven't been approved yet. The next one will arrive the day after tomorrow. If you need anything, you can come and take a look the day after tomorrow."

Wang Que showed a hint of gratitude: "I understand, thank you very much."

The harbor officer shook his head. "No need to thank me. If you have nothing else to do, I'll get back to my work."

Wang Que nodded: "Excuse me."

The harbor officer shook his head and smiled, quickly forgot about the matter, and left with his men.

Wang Que stood there, thinking silently.

"The number of ships traveling to and from Jingfu Port has not increased, which means that Mondstadt's goods will be scarce for a period of time."

"But why not approve the increase of Mond's ships?" Wang Que was a little confused.

In fact, this is Wang Que’s blind spot.

He didn't know that for a port city like Liyue Harbor, the ships coming and going were booked long in advance.

Increasing the number of ship dockings rashly will have a chain reaction.

Moreover, there are many questions such as whether the market demand for Mond's cargo is really strong enough to require additional flights.

All of this requires repeated discussions among senior management of the Ship Department.

Wang Que shook his head slightly and stopped thinking about it. "No matter what, the price of Mond's goods is bound to rise."

He turned his gaze and looked at the merchants coming and going in the shipping department.

Wang Que raised the corner of his mouth and went in silently.

Chapter 25: When I'm out and about, I make up my own identity

An hour later.

Wang Que and several businessmen walked out of the shipping department.

A middle-aged man in fancy clothes bowed to Wang Que and said, "Haha, Boss Wang, it's a deal. We must communicate more in the future."

"Boss Li, you're too polite. You're in the transportation business. No business can bypass you." Wang Que was very humble.

This Boss Li was someone he specifically wanted to get to know.

He ran a carriage and horse business in Liyue Harbor, which also provided escort services, specializing in transportation for major chambers of commerce. He also had four large ships that served exclusively at Jingfu Harbor.

A paunchy man standing nearby also said with a smile, "Boss Wang is so young and yet he's already built a big business. You're really the young to be feared."

Wang Que shook his head: "Mr. Qian, you are too kind. I am still young and need the care of you seniors."

This Mr. Qian's ancestors had seven stars, of course, they have fallen into decline now, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if they have withdrawn from the center of power, the family still has a lot of wealth.

There is a mine at home.

There's a real mine in the Stratochasm.

Although it is just a mining area on the surface of the rock, it is a wealth that ordinary people dare not even think about.

During the one hour Wang Que stayed in the shipping department, he successfully made friends with several powerful businessmen by leveraging his experience of drinking and bragging with Party A in his previous life, as well as some modern ideas and perspectives.

Boss Li and Mr. Qian are the best among them.

One has money, the other has transportation capacity.

These are all essential things for doing big business.

There were also a few other businessmen who all had some real stuff in their hands.

Wang Que doesn't need to be a mere speculator, at least not now, because he is a speculator.

Several people exchanged greetings at the entrance of the shipping department for a while before parting ways. Wang Que sent his "good brothers" to their respective carriages.

Only after watching these people leave did Wang Que smile.

“When you go out, your identity is given by yourself.”

How to create an eye-catching identity?

First of all, you have to be in an unfamiliar place, at least not one where anyone you know can recognize you at a glance.

Secondly, your conversation needs to be generous. Simply put, your opinions on certain things need to be meaningful.

At least don't let people think that you are pretending to know something you don't.

What Wang Que and a few of his 'good brothers' talked about in the shipping department were some 'meaningful' things.

He identified himself as a businessman who had traveled to many places and was preparing to return to Liyue to do business.

During the communication, he would chat with those businessmen:

Xumi's spices, Fontaine's self-regulating mechanism, Inazuma's jade steel...

These are specialties from various countries and are rare in Liyue. I want to do business in this area.

People who have never been to Liyue really can't say anything about it.

So, under Wang Que's "tricking".

These businessmen all expressed optimism about Wang Que.

Of course, everyone knows the real situation.

If Wang Que really invested money and made it work, they would naturally be willing to follow suit.

But if Wang Que is only good at talking but not at doing anything, they will just smile at him the next time they see him.

As a businessman, don't take what he says seriously.

However, this was enough for Wang Que.

When you go out, your identity is given by yourself.

He now has an identity - a rising young businessman who is on good terms with major businessmen and is favored by them.

You see, such an identity has been created.

If he goes out and brags about his business with Boss Li's carriage and horse business and his exchanges with Mr. Qian who runs a mine, many people will believe him.

As for whether anyone will go to Boss Li and Mr. Qian to inquire?

There will definitely be.

But will Boss Li and Mr. Qian expose Wang Que?

They will not expose Wang Que's business until it is confirmed that it cannot be done or fails.

After all, what if Wang Que succeeds?

Being kind to others, at least to those who are capable, is the instinct of businessmen to seek profit and avoid harm.

Of course, Wang Que would not use this identity to cheat people. His target was still the connections of Boss Li and Mr. Qian.

"Next, I have to find a place to live. Unfortunately, that will cost a lot of money."

Wang Que said with some sigh.

Originally, he was planning to just rent a small house.

After all, his requirements for housing are not high.

But now, if you want to use your identity to do business, the place you live in cannot be bad.

Just like in the past, many bosses had to rent a car when going out to do business.

why?

Because of the level.

Everyone comes to do business, others ride in luxurious carriages, you walk, others live in mansions, you live in a shanty.

With such a gap, who would dare to do business with you?

There is no shortage of people who can recognize talent in this world, but you cannot deny that most people only look at the clothes and not the person.

How does that saying go? You're driving a Mazda, so you deserve to be stuck in traffic!

Walk from the pier to Feiyunpo.

Find a hotel with gorgeous decor.

"Welcome to Qixia Pavilion, is there anything I can help you with?"

A maid in a skirt came up to greet them.

Wang Que: "I need to stay for three to five days. Please arrange a room for me."

The maid extended her hand and said, "Our Qixia Pavilion has different specifications, with rooms and courtyards..."

Wang Que smiled and said, "Please arrange a small courtyard for me. Maybe I can host some business friends."

"Then I recommend Courtyard No. 6, which is famous for its elegance."
