Genshin Impact: The Glory of the Herrscher Shines on Teyvat

"Oh? Ai Li, you mean the target of this cooperation is the industrial park. As far as I know, that place is the core industrial base of your Fontaine! Judging from the importance you attach to it and the strength of your protection, it must have an extremely important position. So the question is, why did you suddenly decide to cooperate with us Liyue? Is it just because the friendship between our two countries is not deep? Or... is there another hidden reason?"

Ningguang stared at Alysia sharply, obviously not believing that things would be so simple. She secretly wondered what the other party was up to.

Facing Ningguang's rapid-fire questions and suspicious eyes, Alicia could not help but sigh softly, then shook her head with a wry smile, spread her hands helplessly and said: "Alas, Master Ningguang, to be honest, the reason is actually very simple - we are short of money! So we are thinking about whether we can work together with your country."

In fact, promoting the industrialization process is not easy. It not only requires a lot of financial support, but also a series of technical problems. Although Fontaine successfully obtained 30 billion Mora "investment" from Solstice, the actual amount received is only 10 billion Mora. It is simply a pipe dream to start the entire project with such a small amount of money.

Faced with such a predicament, Alysia is helpless. All she can do is pin her hopes on establishing cooperation with Liyue and rely on the concerted efforts of both parties to push this grand plan forward.

The reason for making such a choice is obvious: first of all, Liyue is the veritable commercial core of the entire Teyvat continent, attracting countless merchants from all over the world to gather here, and they engage in various trading activities in Liyue Port; not only that, Liyue also controls the minting and issuance rights of the Mora currency - the deep meaning behind this is self-evident. It is no exaggeration to say that Liyue is definitely the richest country among the seven countries!

Secondly, Liyue has always adhered to the concept of contract supremacy. Although this may be somewhat affected by the influence of Geo Emperor, it is undeniable that cooperating with such a country that values ​​integrity and keeping contracts is obviously more reliable.

Coupled with many factors such as the fact that the people of Liyue love peace, advocate the principle of harmony, and maintain friendly relations with other countries, this makes it an excellent business hub; it also provides unique conditions for the promotion and sales of Alyssia's future products.

In Alysia's conception, she planned to cooperate with Liyue, with Fontaine providing advanced technical support, while Liyue would be responsible for providing sufficient funds. The two sides would work together to vigorously promote the industrialization process.

Specifically, Fontaine can be built into a powerful manufacturing base, which can continuously produce various high-quality goods, and then deliver these finished products to Liyue for sale. Finally, the profits obtained can be reasonably distributed to achieve a win-win vision.

However, the first task facing Alicia is to convince Ningguang, the ruler of Liyue. Alicia is confident about this, because she believes that with Ningguang's outstanding talents and keen business sense, she will be able to easily see the huge business opportunities hidden in it.

When Ningguang heard Alicia openly express her urgent need for funds, she couldn't help but smile. She never expected that Alicia would be so frank and sincere, but this also aroused Ningguang's interest in this industrial park project.

Ningguang responded with a smile: "So you need funds, Ai Li. I wonder how much you need? To be honest, I do have a small amount of wealth on hand. If the amount is not too large, I can make the decision on my own and invest some to test the waters."

Ningguang did not directly ask about the specific content of the plan. She wanted to test how big Alicia's ambition was first, but what Alicia said next shocked her.

Alicia rubbed her hands together again, and then said in a flattering tone: "It's not much, only 50 billion Mora?"

Before Ningguang recovered from her surprise, Ganyu at the side couldn't hold back. "Ms. Ellie, do you know what you are talking about? There has never been a transaction of 50 billion Mora in the history of the entire Teyvat continent!"

Alicia smiled awkwardly, scratched her head, and explained with an embarrassed look: "Oh my, this is an investment, how can it be considered an ordinary transaction? And 50 billion is just a preliminary estimate, I'm afraid we will have to continue to invest more."

Hearing this, even Ningguang, who was always calm and composed, could no longer endure it. She responded unhappily, "Aili, I'm sorry, it's hard for me to agree to such a large-scale investment."

Facing Ningguang's rejection, Alicia was not discouraged at all. She said directly: "Ganyu, Ningguang, do you think I'm kidding?"

Ganyu and Ningguang looked at each other and couldn't help but mutter in their hearts: "We really hope you are just joking." Despite thinking so in her heart, Ningguang still wanted to hear what kind of project Alicia proposed that dared to ask for 50 billion Mora.

Therefore, Ningguang asked, “I wonder what exactly this industrial park is doing that requires us to invest 50 billion Mora?”

Alicia did not give an answer immediately, but asked back: "You all should know that I am not from the continent of Teyvat, right?"

Ningguang and Ganyu nodded. Ever since they learned that Alicia was coming to Liyue, they had conducted an in-depth investigation into her background and were naturally very clear about this.

Seeing that both of them nodded, Alicia continued, "In fact, the industrial park project mainly comes from my original world. That is a world without any supernatural powers, but people can rely on their own strength to reach the moon in the sky and catch turtles in the deep sea."

Ningguang and Ganyu still had psychological expectations for the world without any supernatural powers that Alicia mentioned. After all, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Alicia was such a world. The influence of this book in Liyue was extremely extraordinary, so naturally they had all read it.

However, both of them were still very interested in what Alicia said about going to the sky and the sea. Although Mond's Wings of Wind could stay in the air for a short time with the help of airflow, it was still too far from reaching the sky and embracing the moon.
