Chapter 139 Promotion Turmoil, the Dojo's Potential Enemy!
"Committee member Ye, I recall there were some applications from outsiders these past couple of days. Could you please approve the applications for Wanlong, Huoyan, and Shuiwutong?"
Now that Ye Tian has joined the department, Li Luochen has also changed his title.
Ye Tian was very pleased to hear that he had been promoted from Minister Ye to Committee Member Ye.
"I know Shui Wutong, the leader of Team Ocean, your uncle. But what's the deal with Huoyan and Wanlong?"
Ye Tian raised an eyebrow and asked.
Wanlong is one of the Elite Four in the Unova region, but he really doesn't remember this guy named Fire Goose very well.
I don't know who they are.
Whether it's good or bad remains to be seen.
"Wanlong came to deliver something to me, and Huoyan is my secretary who is in charge of handling matters at Dewen Company."
Li Luochen explained the general situation.
Shui Wutong and Wanlong won't stay for long; they'll leave within a week.
Huoyan is different; she is a long-term resident and needs a guarantor.
As for the guarantor, that must be Li Luochen's responsibility.
Li Luochen took out the dojo certificate and asked Ye Tian to help him go through the procedures.
"The paperwork should be ready by tomorrow. For this Styracoid registration, do you want to go back to the small room, or register directly?"
Ye Tian briefly mentioned the situation of the Styracosaurus.
After all, apart from being the leader, this Styracosaurus didn't have anything else particularly remarkable about it.
Compared to the Pokémon that Li Luochen had caught before, the Styrax seemed much more "normal".
But...
The fact that a freshman could defeat a quasi-god level being would likely shock everyone if the news got out.
"Just register it directly. This isn't some newly discovered Pokémon. At most, just report that it can Mega Evolve. There's no need to be so secretive."
Li Luochen waved his hand.
Ye Tian nodded: "Alright, then it's your way."
Looking at Li Luochen's current state, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.
It now seems that returning to the provincial dojo is only a matter of time.
At that time.
Once Li Luochen has captured all three teams, which is eighteen Pokémon, and all of them have reached the Gym level, while also having a team of Elite Four members, he can start preparing to advance to the National Gym level.
Ye Tian felt he needed to mention the national-level dojo to Li Luochen beforehand.
"Luo Chen, once Minrong Dojo returns to the provincial level, if possible, it's best to take some time to reflect before trying to become a national-level dojo."
Seeing Ye Tian's solemn expression, Li Luochen raised an eyebrow and asked, "Hmm? What do you mean by that?"
"National-level dojos, also known as the eight major dojos, are different from those in other regions. All eight dojos in our region earned their status through hard work and dedication. It's not just about strength, but also about various cultural foundations."
Ye Tian explained to Li Luochen, "There's no need to worry about strength. But in terms of foundation, although I hate to admit it, looking at the Minrong Martial Arts Academy now, or even its peak period in the past, it's still quite a bit behind the eight major martial arts academies."
"Indeed."
Li Luochen nodded in agreement.
Being one of the eight major academies speaks volumes about its influence.
To achieve this, one must be involved in both politics and business.
Both are indispensable.
Minrong Martial Arts Academy has too little commercial influence.
The secret realm alone is not enough.
Unless it can incorporate the entire Fujian province, and even the entire southeastern coastal province, into its territory, it can not compete with the other eight major Taoist temples in terms of influence.
I don't care about politics.
Who would refuse to give themselves face?
But in terms of business...
It's really hard to say.
On the surface, they might save face for themselves, but if a real conflict of interest were to occur, it could very well result in a bloodbath.
How many industries does Minrong Martial Arts Academy have to offer?
Ok……
If we include anything even remotely related, then it's only the Devon branch and Rainbow Plaza.
If Daigo and Giovanni were in Fuzhou, I would definitely be able to boldly compete for the Eight Great Dojos.
Unfortunately, neither of them were there.
They are all foreign companies.
To be honest, it would indeed be a little difficult to really go head-to-head with it.
As expected, we still have to rely on our own people.
With this in mind, Li Luochen decided to go back and discuss with Jiadeliya about having their respective families send some people in to expand the industrial chain.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye."
Ye Tian's reminder was very important to Li Luochen.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of a lot of time to prepare these things after becoming a provincial-level dojo.
I'll start preparing now. I estimate that once I return to the provincial dojo, I can try to climb up the ranks in one go and try to take down the Sequence 8 dojo first.
At this point in the discussion, Li Luochen's eyes narrowed slightly.
The eighth dojo in the Donghuang region is named Guangyue Dojo. Being close to Fujian Province, it is bound to have conflicts of interest.
My father, Li Fan, has never gotten along with the owner of the Guangyue Martial Arts Academy.
If he knew he was now capable of returning to a provincial-level dojo, he would probably have taken this opportunity to make a big move against the commercial forces in Fujian Province.
The eight major academies in the Donghuang region each have their own related industries, and normal business competition will not be stopped as long as no crimes are committed.
Therefore, it must develop quietly...
Seeing how Li Luochen's eyes changed so much in such a short time, Ye Tian guessed something more or less.
"Guangyue Dojo's political foundation in the capital is not very solid. You can do whatever you want, as long as it's not illegal or disorderly. I can protect you at the Alliance headquarters."
"Alright, I also need to take care of some things here. In a week, I'll be leaving Fujian Province to embark on my journey to the frontier."
Ye Tian's words were like a shot of adrenaline to Li Luochen.
Watching Ye Tian wave goodbye and leave, Li Luochen made up his mind.
We must become the Eight Great Acrobatic Hall as soon as possible!
"Brother Luo Chen, why do you look so worried?"
Shi Xintong suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She tiptoed and patted Li Luochen's shoulder, then jumped in front of him and looked at him with curious eyes.
"It's nothing, we just need to consider becoming a national-level dojo."
Seeing that it was Shao Luo Shi Xintong who arrived, Li Luochen felt that she probably couldn't be of much help, so he didn't think too much about it.
"Oh! I know! This is the main character's quest, right?"
Shi Xintong suddenly realized and analyzed on her own: "In this situation, they'll probably pull out a big freak first, and it'll be someone with a conflict of interest with your organization... Let's rule out politics for now..."
"I understand! Are you worried that Liang Shanyun, the owner of Guangyue Martial Arts Academy, might launch a surprise attack in the business arena, hindering the rapid development of Minrong Martial Arts Academy's commercial capabilities and thus slowing down its overall growth?"
"You didn't read that novel for nothing."
Li Luochen looked at Shi Xintong with a strange expression.
If he hadn't missed seeing Shi Xintong within the range of his wave-guided power, he would have thought she had been eavesdropping in the nearby bushes.
Shi Xintong puffed out her chest, which remained perfectly still, with considerable pride: "I am, after all, the daughter of the Shi family and the next heir to the family head. I should have some foresight, you know."
Li Luochen patiently asked, "Did the novel tell you what the protagonist should do in this situation?"
Shi Xintong nodded slightly: "There really is."
