"So, the matter with Dongma Country is temporarily resolved?"
Wu Lingling asked Wang Yu, and after Lin Wen's sudden appearance, there was an unexpected joy.
"It seems so." Wang Yu smiled. "Fortunately, Brother Hu didn't go too hard back then, otherwise if he had driven them away, we would have lost everything."
"Hmph, don't celebrate too soon, maybe he was just here to brag." Wu Manman poured cold water from the side, then changed the subject,
"Forget it, this young lady will reluctantly go and gather some information for you."
After speaking, she turned and left directly, her seductive steps and her retreating figure exuding an indescribable allure.
"Hmph, I wonder what wicked idea she's brewing now."
Watching Wu Manman walk away, Wu Lingling snorted coldly, appearing somewhat displeased.
"Alright, she's your sister after all, and she's on our side." Wang Yu smiled and advised Wu Lingling.
"Her? Helping us? I think she's only doing it for herself. I've known my sister since I was little, everything she does is for her own benefit." Wu Lingling sneered, "Even if she helps us, it's because it's beneficial to her."
"That's good enough." Wang Yu smiled slightly. "Where are there so many consciences and justice in this world? In the end, it's all driven by self-interest.
If we have value, others will help us; if we don't have value, then we are nothing!"
Listening to Wang Yu's words, Wu Lingling nodded in agreement, it really seemed to be the case!
"So, let's take it easy. Isn't it best if the problem can be solved?" Wang Yu chuckled and summarized, then looked at the approaching figures in the distance.
"The future will always get better, look, isn't someone coming?"
Following Wang Yu's gesture, Wu Lingling looked and saw a group of people walking hurriedly, their goal appearing to be directly towards the exhibition area of the automobile factory.
"Little Brother Wang!"
A semi-familiar Han Chinese voice carried from afar. The speaker was a tall and thin man, who was none other than An Lu, the illegitimate prince of Dongyou Country, who had previously signed a large number of orders.
"Uh, Brother An Lu, what wind brings you here?"
Wang Yu also greeted him with a smile. This foolishly rich... no, this generous prince of Dongyou Country, was his biggest customer!
"Little Brother Wang!"
An Lu came up first and gave Wang Yu a hug, which was a custom in their country to express close friendship. Wang Yu found it difficult to adapt, but thankfully, Dongyou Country didn't have the bad habits of the Ice Bear Kingdom, such as not bathing and excessive drinking, so a hug was not uncomfortable.
"Little Brother Wang, I'm here to patronize your business."
An Lu said with a smile as he pointed to the group of people behind him.
Those people were dressed similarly to An Lu, with subtle differences, each exuding an air of nouveau riche, as if they were shouting "money is no object."
"These are...?"
Wang Yu looked at those people, his gaze questioning An Lu.
"They are all from our neighboring countries. This is Kaban from Dongliu Country, Angsis from Dongwu Country, Losuya from Dong Sai Country..."
An Lu introduced the people behind him to Wang Yu one by one. There were seven of them, and with each name, the person would nod at Wang Yu, showing a friendly look.
Their names were all difficult to pronounce. Listening to An Lu's introduction, they were from some small countries to the west of Dongzhou. Their common characteristic was that their countries were rich in resources, produced a lot of grain, and had large reserves of oil, natural gas, and precious metals. They were not as wealthy as Dongyou Country, but they were mostly considered rich tycoons.
"Like me, they are all from noble families in their respective countries, but with less favorable origins. Most of them are marginalized and can only engage in business."
An Lu introduced the people in front of him. Hearing about unfavorable origins, Wang Yu immediately understood.
These small countries were all monarchies, similar in customs and culture to Dongyou Country, and very traditional.
Their so-called origin issues were likely similar to An Lu's case, being illegitimate sons or concubine-born children who were marginalized from the center of power. However, unwilling to live a life of idleness, they chose to go into business.
These people gathering with An Lu could only be said to be birds of a feather flocking together.
"The eight of us have united to form a chamber of commerce, named the Eight Directions Brothers Mutual Aid Chamber of Commerce."
An Lu introduced them to Wang Yu again. Wang Yu could only twitch his eye and nod to show his understanding.
Eight Directions Brothers Mutual Aid Chamber of Commerce? What a weird name! It sounded so awkward and unpleasant, giving a strong impression of a makeshift operation.
However, since An Lu was so enthusiastic, Wang Yu couldn't say much. The name was their choice; even if they called it the Avengers, he couldn't control it.
"Little Brother Wang, they are like me, my closest brothers."
After finishing the introductions, An Lu said to Wang Yu very solemnly, "Our countries are all rich in resources, but our industrial capabilities are very weak. We lack basic industrial equipment. We used to import from the Ice Bear Kingdom, but they are almost finished now.
And the United States is imposing sanctions on us, so we can only choose to trade with the islands, but those bastards on the islands have terrible consciences and rip us off horribly. In comparison, Little Brother Wang, you are more reliable and down-to-earth..."
An Lu went on at length, first explaining the origins of these people, and then a string of compliments for Wang Yu.
"Uh, alright, my dear brother An Lu, what do you and your brothers want to do?"
Wang Yu quickly interrupted An Lu, otherwise, judging by his demeanor, he didn't know how long he would go on.
"It's very simple. We want to order products from you. As long as you have suitable ones, we are willing to order and cooperate. I don't think you would mind having more overseas cooperative distributors, would you?"
An Lu asked Wang Yu with a teasing tone.
"Cooperate?" Wang Yu was overjoyed. "Good, good, of course, I don't mind! The more, the better!"
How could he possibly mind such a windfall of partners?
Such cooperation opportunities were practically equivalent to getting them for free!
It seemed that those guys from the islands really didn't have a good reputation!
"As our closest brothers, there will be absolutely no problem with the price. We won't let you lose out, but there is only one requirement!"
At this point, An Lu's expression suddenly became serious.
