Genshin Impact: What? The one we need to save is Fukaros

Fude Port, the owner's office in the West Factory office building.

Linni showed a solemn look on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Recently, our relationship with Liyue has gradually deteriorated.

Not only has the trade exchange between Fude Port and Liyue been maliciously obstructed, resulting in a sharp decline in trading volume, but Fontaine's products have also been unfairly suppressed in the Liyue market."

Lin Yide frowned slightly, but he was not too surprised by the occurrence of this situation.

After all, among Liyue’s three neighboring countries, two have actually become Fontaine’s “vassal states”.

Such a geopolitical situation will undoubtedly touch Liyue's nerves.

No matter how slow-witted the Liyue leaders were, they must have realized at this moment the necessity of being vigilant against the Western Factory.

For the foreseeable future, the relationship between Liyue and Fontaine will continue to deteriorate.

This situation was obviously not what he wanted to see.

After a long silence, he looked at Lini and asked, "Lini, what do you think of the country of Liyue?"

Lin Ni's heart trembled, knowing that this was Lin Yide's test of him.

After careful consideration, he slowly spoke: "Liyue is one of the most powerful and stable countries among the seven countries, with rich resources, vast territory, and prosperous trade.

The current Tianquan Star Ningguang swept away the mediocrity of the previous generation of Liyue Seven Stars and restored Liyue to its former glory. "

He paused for a moment and continued, “However, at the same time, the wealth of the Seven Stars of Liyue is also growing at an extraordinary rate, and Ningguang’s wealth is almost as rich as a country.

The benefits brought by Liyue's prosperous trade have not been evenly distributed to ordinary people.

The distribution of wealth in society is becoming increasingly unfair, and has reached an extremely unfair level.”

Lin Yide looked at Lin Ni with approval in his eyes, "Your analysis is very accurate. Then, how did the wealth of the Seven Stars of Liyue accumulate so quickly?

Linney fell into deep thought again, and then gave his answer: "This is mainly because they hold great power and have an overwhelming advantage in business competition."

Lin Yide nodded, "You haven't said it deeply enough. Power is the most efficient means to obtain wealth, and wealth is the best tool to maintain power.

When these two are overly combined, they can create a monster that is difficult to control.

Power and wealth should maintain a mutually restraining balance between them. "

Linnie listened to this profound insight and felt sincere admiration for Lin Yide's wisdom.

At the same time, he finally understood why Lin Yide insisted on splitting up the West Factory and the Funina Foundation, operating them independently and auditing and supervising each other.

Lin Yide continued to analyze: "In the era of God's blessing, the Seven Stars of Liyue were still able to abide by their principles and bottom line.

But when the gods retire, the Seven Stars of Liyue will gradually evolve into seven financial groups that control all areas of Liyue. "

Lini looked confused. "Father, I never understood why the Rock King chose a merchant to serve as one of the Seven Stars of Liyue?"

Lin Yide replied softly, "Perhaps the Emperor believes that successful businessmen possess extraordinary talents and abilities."

Lini asked, "Father, what should we do next?"

Lin Yide smiled slightly. "Excessive prosperity of business is sometimes not a good thing. It may lead to the hollowing out of industries and make the country overly dependent on external resources."

He paused for a moment, then changed the subject and said meaningfully: "Every year, Liyue imports a large amount of food from Mondstadt and Xumi."

Linni immediately understood Lin Yide's hint, but was still a little confused. "However, father, as far as I know, Liyue is actually able to achieve self-sufficiency. Most of the imported food from Mondstadt and Xumi is used for storage."

Lin Yide did not answer again, but said: "Linnie, think about it carefully. If you can understand my next move, you will be a qualified owner of the West Factory."

........

Liyue, Qunyu Pavilion.

Ningguang sat at her desk, her brows slightly furrowed, revealing her inner worry.

Although she had the upper hand in the negotiations with Linnet, dealing with an underage girl was not a glorious thing.

What's more, soon he will have to face an awe-inspiring existence like Lin Yide.

She rose from a salesgirl to a Tianquan star, and her life experience is legendary.

But Lin Yide's life is even more legendary than hers.

He was once a poor illegitimate son of a noble family, but eventually rose to become the owner of the West Factory, who controlled the lifeline of the three kingdoms in the mortal world.

Not only did he lead Fontainebleau to become a superpower on par with Winter Solstice, he even had the potential to surpass it.

If possible, Ningguang doesn't want to be an enemy of such an opponent.

However, with Mondstadt and Inazuma having become de facto vassal states of Fontaine, Liyue had no choice but to prevent further expansion and infiltration of Fontaine's power.

Just as she was worried, a tall young woman walked in.

She was wearing a blue-black tight leather jacket, which perfectly outlined her graceful figure. Her temperament was elegant and restrained, like an orchid quietly blooming in a valley, exuding a unique charm.

Thinking of your armpit

"It seems that our Tianquan Star seems to have encountered some troubles?" the woman asked in a teasing tone.

Ningguang felt relieved when she saw her coming. "Ye Lan, I did run into some troubles, but if you can bring me good news, I will definitely be happy."

Ye Lan chuckled and responded, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you this time. Ide has already returned to Fude Port on the wind dragon Twarin."

Hearing this, Ningguang felt even worse, "This is indeed not good news."

"Ningguang, I have some bad news to tell you. The Fatui's last executive, Tartaglia, has arrived in Liyue Harbor." Ye Lan continued.

Ningguang suddenly felt a headache. She rubbed her temple with her slender hands and said, "For the time being, arrange for someone to monitor him and focus on finding out his purpose for coming to Liyue."

Ye Lan nodded, then turned and left quickly.

Ningguang stared blankly at her departing figure, her gaze gradually becoming distant and complicated.
