Tingfenglou is a large corporation with operations throughout Kyushu, with businesses in every major city. Each city's Tingfenglou also has a head, known as the "Lord."
For example, the owner of Tingfeng Tower in Jingtian City in the north is Nangong Yu'er, the daughter of the world's richest man, whom He Yunxiao had met before.
However, the identity of the owner of Tingfeng Tower in Yanyang City remains unknown.
"This humble subject, Nangong Jin, greets the young master of the Marquis's residence."
On the top floor of Tingfeng Tower, a well-dressed young man bowed to He Yunxiao.
"Young Master Jin, there's no need to be so formal. From now on, we're all family." He Yunxiao waved his hand.
"Oh? What makes you say that, Young Master He?"
"Wouldn't our future business dealings be as close as family?"
“That’s right, that’s right.” Nangong Jin didn’t know what He Yunxiao meant, so he quickly replied.
Seeing that this young man was merely going through the motions without doing anything extra, He Yunxiao knew that although he was young, he was a seasoned veteran.
He Yunxiao got straight to the point: "Now that there is war and chaos, the Yan army has entered Qi, and righteous armies from all over Qi have set up camp in Yinjing. Young Master Jin must have heard about this. I am not talented, but I have also gathered an army, thinking of fighting for the country and making meritorious contributions."
Nangong Jin cupped his hands again, saying, "Young Master, you are truly virtuous! I admire you greatly!"
He Yunxiao curled his lip. This guy talks a good game, but offers absolutely no real help. He's just a businessman, isn't he?
"Young Master Jin, to be honest, I want to buy a batch of armor, weapons and provisions from you."
Nangong Jin immediately hesitated, "Young Master He, the items you requested are all currently in high demand. My small Tingfeng Tower in Yanyang City is afraid... it doesn't have that kind of influence..."
He Yunxiao chuckled inwardly: I don't believe you for a second! All the blacksmith shops in the city are operating at full capacity, but if you ask anywhere, they're out of stock. You're still trying to fool me.
He Yunxiao laid out nine silver notes worth one thousand taels each.
Nangong Jin's tone softened a bit, "If you need it urgently, then I cannot provide it. However, if you are willing to wait a while, I can write to the main building of Wei State and request supplies from there."
He Yunxiao neither agreed nor disagreed with Nangong Jin's proposal, but instead started gossiping.
"Brother Jin, do you know Nangong Yu'er?"
"It is indeed my cousin."
