Fanfan Trading Company

Fanfan Trading Company (first and formally known as Kou Imperial Trading Company) is a company managed by Alibaba Saluja as the Prime Minister and face of the company and Koumei Ren with the title of "Lord Strategist."

History
After Alibaba agrees to help Empress Kougyoku Ren in making Kou Empire save itself with its own hands from bankruptcy due to owing money to the International Alliance. The company plans to use the Eight Trigrams Talisman as a way to incorporate teleportation magic to distribute their goods. Alibaba is in charge of negotiating trade deals with people he knows in various countries to open a trading outlet to complete the device for the teleportation magic circles. During his trip, Alibaba visited these places: Republic of Balbadd, Magnostadt, Heliohapt Kingdom, Reim Empire, and finally Parthevia. Just when things are looking great, Alibaba receives a letter from the Parthevian Parliament, rejection of the trade deal. As Alibaba calls fellow leaders from the countries he had visited, he learns that many had to reject the trade deal due to a conspiracy spread about the Kou Empire using the teleportation magic to invade other countries. Alibaba seeks Sinbad's help only to learn Sinbad had started those very rumors.

In response to the situation, Koumei instructs their company to use the teleportation magic to distribute good to their borders which they can trade with other countries via land and sea through their borders. During the discussion, Alibaba gets inspired by Koumei's talks on spreading positive information to combat the rumors.
