Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Ningguang was a little surprised when she heard this, but as a big businessman with considerable fame in the whole of Teyvat, she knew very well what Chang Ming meant.

"You mean... let Liyue be a transit station for Fontaine in the Northern Continent?"

Chang Ming nodded slightly, and then began to explain with some very realistic examples:

"Fontaine is most proud of its precision instruments, but even if they are transported from Fontaine to Liyue...the instruments will have problems due to the climate at sea."

"If we stop at Liyue midway... it will incur unnecessary expenses. Moreover, any transportation will incur the additional risk of equipment damage."

"I have come up with a plan based on the principles of reducing costs and risks and achieving mutual benefit."

As Chang Ming spoke, he placed a document that had been prepared long ago in front of Ningguang like a magic trick, motioning for her to open it.

"The plan is actually very simple. Fontaine rents a warehouse in Liyue every year to store mechanical equipment. This warehouse is specially designed and built by people from the Fontaine Academy of Sciences."

"After this, Fontaine will bring in a large amount of machinery and equipment at once as 'inventory', and the sales will be handed over to Liyue."

"From now on, all orders involving Mondstadt, Inazuma, and Xumi will be shipped from this warehouse. For every order completed by Liyue, 30% of the profit will belong to Liyue as labor fees."

Having said that, Chang Ming paused for a moment, then continued:

"Of course, Fontaine also hopes to get lower prices for specialty products through Liyue than direct sales, such as Inazuma's logs and Mondstadt's wine."

"After all, from a cost perspective...the price of direct purchase is higher due to long-distance sea transportation and customs duties."

“Now that one of the issues has been resolved, the price will naturally be a little lower.”

Having said this, Chang Ming slowly leaned back in his chair, waiting for Ningguang to come up with a second solution.

For this reason, he even gave a very obvious hint in his words.

——As the regent of Fontaine, there are some things he cannot say.

Hearing this, Ningguang slowly put down the plan in her hand, a smile flashed in her red eyes, and then she said:

"Then there are two options now, Mr. Chang Ming."

"First, let Liyue's merchants obtain the "special distribution rights" of special products from other countries, transport special products from other countries to Liyue, and use the same distribution plan that Fontaine used for Liyue."

"Second, reduce or exempt the customs duties for countries in the Northern Continent and the Central Continent traveling to Fontaine via Liyue. This is the simplest and easiest solution."

"I personally have no objection to either of the above options, but the second point requires discussion and voting among the Seven Stars to get an accurate answer."

"Having said this... what do you think, Mr. Chang Ming?"

Ningguang looked at Chang Ming in front of her with a half-smile, her pair of scarlet phoenix eyes were looking at him with great interest, as if expecting what he could do.

Chang Ming spread his hands helplessly and said:

"The first plan will benefit merchants throughout Liyue, and the increase in sales will also benefit other countries."

"After all, with the precedent of Fontaine...if countries close to Liyue need to purchase specialty products, they will give priority to Liyue."

"In this way, Liyue is equivalent to doing business for the entire continent, and this network will only expand."

"As for the second option...not only is it difficult to make decisions, it may also cause some diplomatic problems."

"Of course, it is more likely to cause dissatisfaction among other countries. After all, customs duties are like laws. Once one person reduces their tariffs, all others must do the same."

At this point, a smile appeared on Chang Ming's face, and he said in a relaxed tone:

"From the perspective of the interests of more people... the first option is more appropriate."

"Although the waiting time will be relatively longer, it is not a big deal."

"After all, judging from Fontaine's current situation, our demand for these things is limited to filling the variety of goods and improving living standards."

Hearing this, Ningguang's red eyes revealed a hint of smile, and then she slowly stood up and said softly to Chang Ming in front of her:

"Then... I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

Chang Ming and Ningguang shook hands symbolically and then began to sign the documents.

And the second confrontation between them... ended with this mutually beneficial outcome.

......

After signing the document, Chang Ming and Funingna left the Qun Yu Pavilion and came to the Bubu Lu next to the Yujing Terrace.

"Welcome to Bubulu. May I ask if you two would like to get some medicine or see a doctor?"

A young man was standing in front of the counter, calculating something with his head down, and said without raising his head.

"Hello, I want to see Doctor Bai. There is a difficult case that happened in Fontaine that needs your help."

Hearing the words "difficult case", Ah Gui subconsciously raised his head, looked up and down at the two people in front of him, and then said:

"Wait a moment, I'll go find Mr. Bai."

After saying that, he put down the account book in his hand and ran towards the back room of Bubu House.

After a while, a green-haired man with golden eyes and snake pupils walked out slowly from the back.

"Hello, I am Bai Zhu, the doctor of Bubulu. Can you tell me in detail what the "difficult case" is?"

Bai Zhu looked at the two people in front of him while speaking, and after a while he added softly:

"If doctors from other countries asked you to come to Bulu... I want to hear their description of the patient's condition."

As the best doctor in Liyue Harbor, Bai Zhu can tell whether a person is healthy or not just by looking at his face.

It was obvious that the physical conditions of the two people in front of him were the kind that could not be healthier, so Bai Zhu asked this question.

Chang Ming lowered his head slightly, and after thinking for a while, he told Dilfy's symptoms and Sigwen's judgment.

Bai Zhu lowered his head slightly when he heard this, and fell into deep thought. After a while, he said softly:

"A disease similar to body stiffness, and it is recorded in the ancient books that were passed down from Liyue to Fontaine..."

"Please wait a moment. I will look up the corresponding medical book and give you a reply later."

Before Chang Ming and Funina could react, Bai Zhu disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
