God of Illusions

Chapter 1046: Dai Xiaochan!

“Why are you using a different attitude with me?” Dai Xiaochan seemed to be implying something as she said with a captivating smile.

“Because I know that you’re not here to make it hard on me, Miss Dai.” Bai Xiaofei returned a smile, his face full of confidence.

Surprised by his reply, Dai Xiaochan asked with great interest, “Oh? How can you be sure that I didn’t come to make trouble for you?”

“It’s been known to everyone that you favor win-win situations, Miss Dai. Every time you make an appearance, it’s for something grand, not something trivial as finding someone for trouble. Moreover, if you wanted to make it hard on me, you would have done it when everyone was still here,” replied Bai Xiaofei.

Dai Xiaochan clapped. “As expected of the head of Illusion Demon. Now I can see why it could develop at such a terrifying speed.” Her eyes didn’t not leave Bai Xiaofei’s face for a moment and her tone stern as if it wasn’t a compliment that she was giving.

“I really have not done anything for Illusion Demon. It’s all thanks to Fang Ye and the executives that our merchant group is able to achieve so much,” Bai Xiaofei corrected Dai Xiaochan, while also introducing Fang Ye at the same time.

“Not at all. Entrusing all power to others is actually the most difficult thing for a leader. If you aren’t capable enough, why would such excellent people be willing to help you, right? They must firmly believe that as long as you are there, Illusion Demon will never collapse. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have such great courage to implement their own ideas,” Dai Xiaochan analyzed.

Bai Xiaofei didn’t have a deep connection to what she said, but Fang Ye gulped. She’s spot-on!

Fang Ye, Feng Wuhen and Lu Lingyun always had a lot of bold ideas that they had put into practice over the past few years. However, those ideas hadn’t come about after the establishment of Illusion Demon, but long before, and they just hadn’t dared to implement them because they hadn’t been completely sure. However, Bai Xiaofei had established a whole merchant group, giving them enough courage to go ahead. Not to mention, he had also left them with enough resources and connections, such as the Ethereal Merchant Group, the Snow Kingdom, Yun Qingshuang, Chu Liuyun, etc.

Although Bai Xiaofei seemed to have barely done anything, every step that Illusion Demon had taken was backed by his support. He was their mental pillar, and this was noticed by Dai Xiaochan.

“You flatter me, Miss Dai. But our topic shouldn’t be me.” Bai Xiaofei smiled awkwardly.

“What do you think it should be, then?” Dai Xiaochan asked.

Bai Xiaofei just wanted to vomit blood. If I knew, I wouldn’t have to ask you!

“None of your deals have been trifles, so I really can’t make a guess,” Bai Xiaofei could only take a step back now that Dai Xiaochan had the initiative. The Amethyst Merchant House had taken the top seat of the business world after the fall of the Globe Merchant Group. If the Amethyst Merchant House wanted to intervene, this affair of Cloudveil would be completely messed up.

“I once put forward a plan to my father, but it was too bold to earn his approval and therefore has been cast aside, but I think now is a good time to implement it.” Dai Xiaochan’s eyes flashed with a strange glint. “Are you interested in cooperating, President Bai?”

Bai Xiaofei and Fang Ye instantly frowned.

Cooperations between merchant groups did exist among small groups for the purpose of better improving commodities and promoting development by exchanging goods. However, for the major groups who had achieved all-round development, it was already good enough that they didn’t fight each other, let alone cooperate.

Moreover, Bai Xiaofei had a feeling that Dai Xiaochan’s so-called cooperation wasn’t just simple as exchanging needed goods!

“I’d like to hear about it.” Bai Xiaofei was all ears.

“As everyone already knows, our Amethyst Merchant House has always been the one with the strongest capital circulation, because we are the only one who offers Amethyst Coins banking. While the wealthy of the Northern Border region use our Amethyst Cards, all of their money is, in fact, in our hands,” Dai Chan started with an indisputable fact.

This was the reason why no one could shake the status of Amethyst Merchant House. They had achieved absolute control over money. No matter how rich one was, by enjoying the convenience Amethyst Merchant House offered, they had already become its shareholder.

The other major groups had become aware of this problem, but there was nothing they could do as it was already too late to compete for this market or suppress the Amethyst Merchant House.

“However, in order to achieve this, we forwent the control over the market. By the time we introduced the Amethyst Card, the whole Northern Border region market had been divided among the other merchant groups, and we could only watch as we sat on a mountain of capital. This is also why the other groups covet our wealth, but have never laid hands on us. As far as they are concerned, the Northern market has been settled and our Amethyst Merchant House can only play the role of a center for money circulation.”

Dai Xiaochan was indignant upon mentioning this matter. By this point, Bai Xiaofei had gotten a rough guess of what she wanted. However, he did not interrupt her.

“I think you know what I’m going to say. I want us to form an absolute cooperative relationship where we, the Amethyst Merchant House, will be providing financial support, while your Illusion Demon will be responsible for dominating the market. There will be no more eight major merchant groups in the future, only two – Illusion Demon and Amethyst!” Dai Xiaochan looked intently at Bai Xiaofei, her eyes shining brilliantly.

Meanwhile, Fang Ye’s eyes widened. If this idea was executed well, it would be an opportunity gifted by heaven, but if not, it would be a calamity! If Bai Xiaofei agreed to Dai Xiaochan’s proposal, it would be a huge gamble!

“Alright.”

That was what Bai Xiaofei indifferently uttered when Fang Ye thought that he would be going through an internal struggle before reaching a decision.

“Big Brother Fei! What are you saying? How can you just agree like that?! No questions asked? No consideration?!” Fang Ye instantly panicked and could not care to be tactful with his words.

“Since Miss Dai has shown us such sincerity, what else is there to consider? As for the terms of our cooperation, of course both parties will be deciding together.” Bai Xiaofei looked at Dai Xiaochan with a faint smile. “Let’s find a more appropriate place to discuss in detail?”
