Chapter 140 Recruiting Guests
In the meeting hall, Fang Qingyuan sat at the head of the table, waiting for the two families to send a large sum of spiritual stones as rent.
However, the next words from the two families made Fang Qingyuan lose his smile and only listened to Guanghui Pavilion’s birthday greetings
“I think Fangfang Master has misunderstood. Huige's coming to Yuanlingfang City to open a store will not bring you much income from spiritual stones, but it will be beneficial in other ways."
Hearing this, Fang Qingyuan remained calm. Looking at Wanbao Pavilion monk Wan Bochong on the side, he saw that Wan Bochong nodded with a smile in response to Gaoshou Li's remarks.
Two old foxes, when did they get together? Aren’t you at odds with each other? Why do you act so sympathetic to each other now?
Fang Qingyuan secretly complained in his heart, but his face remained calm as usual. He asked
"The most important thing in the market is the rent of the shop. We live on this. If you don't pay the rent, then what?" What can we use to compensate?"
At this time Wan Bochong answered
"I wonder if Fangfang Master has observed recently that although Yuanlingfang City has a large flow of people, its Most of the monks are Qi-training monks, but there are very few foundation-building monks."
Hearing Wan Bochong's words, Fang Qingyuan recalled the monks he had seen recently, and after thinking for a moment, Fang Qingyuan nodded and said
"It's true. I don't know how you two can teach me."
Gaoshou Li twisted his beard and said with a smile
"This is because Yuan Ling There is no place in Fang City that attracts these foundation-building monks. Most of the shops you run now are items belonging to the lowest level of Qi-training monks. There are very few items above the second level, so these foundation-building monks do not come to settle down. ”
And Wan Bochong helped from the side
“Our two families are here to fill the gap in this area. The magical weapons and spiritual materials we deal in are all The second- and third-level ones will not compete with the original shops for customers, but will attract foundation-building monks to come, thereby giving them the opportunity to purchase other items."
After hearing these remarks, Fang Qingyuanruo said. Thinking about it, this model is the same as those of the newly opened large shopping malls in the previous life. In order to hire some big brands to highlight the high-end status of their supermarkets, they gave their shops to people for free, and even gave them money.
Seeing Fang Qingyuan's expression, Gao Shouli and Wan Bochong looked at each other and said
"In this way, we have all benefited. We have gained customers as foundation-building monks, and We are looking for a place to open a shop and earn some spiritual stones. This will be better for everyone. I don’t know what Fangfang’s idea is.”
Fang Qingyuan waited patiently for them to finish, and then said slowly
< p>"I understand the truth, but I choose to refuse."As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two monks present changed. They looked at Fang Qingyuan in disbelief, seeming to be very puzzled by Fang Qingyuan. Why refuse? In other cities, as long as they go there, they can open it regardless of the conditions. Why did it not work in Yuanlingfang City?
ConcernsSeeing that these two families had a good relationship, Fang Qingyuan didn't want to make the relationship more tense. At least he wanted to get along with it in terms of face, so Fang Qingyuan explained
"It is true that foundation-building monks have stronger purchasing power, but what they bring is The risk is also greater. We in Yuanlingfang City don’t have enough manpower, so we can only maintain the rules among the Qi Practitioners, and every Foundation Establishment monk is not a fuel-efficient lamp. We really don’t have the energy to deal with it.
< p>Secondly, since you can come to our Yuanlingfang City, you must be able to earn spiritual stones here. Since this geographical location attracts you, then even if you are not there, there will be other people who value this place, and they should be willing to pay for it. This is a spiritual stone.So, if you really want to open a store here, then use the spiritual stone to speak, and I will only leave one."
Fang Qingyuan finished speaking. Looking at the two monks with a smile, Fang Qingyuan had a tough attitude and seemed to really not care about them. Now the previous tacit understanding between the two families was gone and real competition began.
After a long time, Wan Bochong of Wanbao Pavilion paid 50,000 low-grade spiritual stones per year in exchange for the right of Wanbao Pavilion to open a store in Yuanlingfang City, while the people in Guanghui Pavilion were angry. He rushed away.
It’s not that Guanghui Pavilion can’t afford the spiritual stone, but they think it’s embarrassing enough to have Hua Lingshi open a store here. If the amount paid is larger, inside Guanghui Pavilion , Gao Shouli couldn't even lift his head.
After Gao Shou Li left, Fang Qingyuan said to Wan Bo Chong
“Congratulations, Senior Wan, for squeezing out Guanghui Pavilion. From now on, we will be in the same place, and there will be many opportunities to interact with each other. ."
Looking at Fang Qingyuan who was smiling brightly, Wan Bochong also showed a sincere smile and said: "What an incredible junior. If we didn't bid just now, you would really Are you going to drive us away?"
Fang Qingyuan laughed and said more sincerely
"Absolutely, after all, I am a timid person and I am most afraid of trouble."
< p>Hearing what Fang Qingyuan said, Wan Bochong felt better. He nodded and asked"Then we can discuss the location of Wanbao Pavilion's store now"
"Of course, but before that, can Senior Wan hand over one year's worth of spiritual stones?"
After finishing the work of choosing a location for Wanbao Pavilion to open a store, Fang Qingyuan took the dividends belonging to Yuanling Mountain and started Fangshi returned to the mountain.
Including the 50,000 low-grade spirit stones paid by Wanbao Pavilion, Fang Qingyuan withdrew 40,000 spirit stones from Fang City this month. Counting the previous six months, Yuanlingfang City has been open for half a year. It brought more than 80,000 low-grade spiritual stones to Yuanling Mountain.
In addition, Yuanling Mountain's harvest in the past six months also included dividends from the red iron ore. After converting the 2% income, 178 spiritual stones have been earned in half a year.
In addition, there are also the sales of three thousand acres of tobacco leaves, the output of spiritual beasts bred in four mines, and the spiritual material store run by Zhang Yuan. Lin Lin finally figured it out. In the past six months, Yuanling Mountain’s income was unexpectedly It has reached a total of 110,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
Putting aside the rent that Wanbao Pavilion has paid this year, Fang Qingyuan predicts that since Yuanling Mountain opened this market, this year's harvest should be within the range of 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
I’m afraid Jiang Kui couldn’t even imagine 200,000 yuan a year. During the years when she was the owner of the mountain, Yuanling Mountain could only make a living by mining, and received more than 20,000 spiritual stones every year. Now, in just three or four years, the income has increased tenfold.
Thinking of Jiang Kui, Fang Qingyuan sighed. He came to the Yuanling Mountain warehouse, returned all the spiritual stones to the warehouse, and took out 30,000 spiritual stones from them and put them into a storage bag. inside.
This is the dividend left for Jiang Kui. Fang Qingyuan is going to ask Zhang Yuan to send it to her. Jiang Kui is recuperating in the hinterland of Qiyun and has no source of income. The current spiritual stone should be enough for her. Sold.
After calculating Jiang Kui’s dividends, Fang Qingyuan counted out another five thousand spirit stones, which were intended for Zhang Yuan. As for Fang Qingyuan himself, he only took ten thousand spirit stones.
After taking away the spiritual stones belonging to the three of them, there are still 70,000 to 80,000 low-grade spiritual stones in the warehouse, and another 100,000 spiritual stones will be credited in the second half of the year.
Looking at these spiritual stones in front of him, Fang Qingyuan felt that he could not let them lie quietly in the warehouse. There were more things going on now, so he should hurry up and deal with the matter of attracting guests.
Two months later, in the main hall of Yuanling Mountain, Fang Qingyuan sat high on the throne, while two little guys, Liu Xun and Qu Wujie, stood aside holding ceremonial things.
There are many monks in the main hall. Among them, She Xiyu, the head of the She family, and Wan Bochong of the Wanbao Pavilion are also present. These two people have come to bear witness. At this time, there are three qi-training monks with different expressions. Strange stood in the center of the crowd, waiting for the ceremony to begin.
Among the three monks, the one who is older and looks like an old farmer is called Nong Shouyuan. He is almost seventy years old this year. He has advanced in Qi training. If there are no accidents, he will be able to build a foundation in this life. No.
Nong Shouyuan is a spiritual planter. He has long made a living by planting spiritual plants for cultivating families or cultivating sects. He was recommended to Fang Qingyuan by She Xiyu. Nong Shouyuan’s original head family was here. In a wild battle launched by the Beast Control Sect in Southern Xinjiang, most of the members, including the head of the family, were eaten by monsters. Their subsequent strength was greatly reduced. The branches were at odds with each other. Nong Shouyuan was also unlucky and was eventually squeezed out.
Nong Shouyuan had an old relationship with She Xiyu, and She Xiyu originally wanted to take him in, but at this time, Fang Qingyuan was asking for help in finding the guest, so She Xiyu did a favor and sent Nong Shouyuan to Fang Qingyuan.
After Fang Qingyuan learned about Nong Shouyuan's background, he went to Nong Shouyuan's original owner's house to inquire about it. He felt that Nong Shouyuan was a down-to-earth man with reliable character, so he accepted him and prepared to let him go. Responsible for the three thousand acres of tobacco leaves in Yuanling Mountain, as well as the spiritual plants up and down Yuanling Mountain.
In addition to Nong Shouyuan, there is also a middle-aged monk in his forties who looks relatively shrewd. This is the shopkeeper recruited by Fang Qingyuan to be in charge of the spiritual material store. This man's surname is Jiang, and he is a middle-stage Qi practitioner. Because, it was Jiang Kui who invited him from the hinterland of Qiyun. Since Fang Qingyuan offered him a high salary, this personJiang Kui's family is willing to go from the prosperous place in the hinterland of Qiyun to the desolate place in southern Xinjiang to become a big shopkeeper.
There is another person who is also an old man. He comes from Baishan. His name is Liao Wendeng. He is in the late stage of Qi training. This person looks older than Nong Shouyuan, but he is less than sixty years old. .
The reason for his current appearance is that he suffered many serious injuries during successive battles. Liao Wendeng is an authentic Baishan monk. He is the patriarch of a small cultivator family. He used to be in Baishan. Although he had to fight with others from time to time, Liao Wendeng was used to it.
But when Wei Tong went to Baishan, the intensity of the battle in Baishan went up to a higher level. In the past ten years, Liao Wenden's family was almost killed three times. Now the battle in southern Xinjiang is over. But in the north of Baishan Mountain, after the Wei family defeated the Luo family, they started fighting with the Qifu Alliance again.
Liao Wendeng thought about it a lot, and finally spent a large amount of spiritual stones to get through Zhao Liangde's relationship, and then moved his whole family to southern Xinjiang.
Zhao Liangde originally wanted to place Liao Wendeng's family in the newly opened wild and dense forest, but the land in the wild and dense forest had only been opened less than a year ago, and the environment was very harsh. After Liao Wendeng knew about it, he refused to go. Zhao Liangde had accepted the spirit stone and couldn't leave it alone. He also heard that Fang Qingyuan was recruiting people, so he asked Fang Qingyuan for his opinion and whether he was willing to accept it.
Fang Qingyuan is also happy to see this happen. Although Liao Wendeng has a family and seven or eight Qi practicing monks, as long as Yuanling Mountain belongs to the Beast Control Sect, Liao Wendeng will not be able to resist. Thought, even if he wants to rebel, the people around him will dispel his idea.
In this way, Fang Qingyuan gained a group of cheap thugs and labor, while Liao Wendeng found a backer, and both parties were satisfied.
With the sound of gongs, the ceremony of recruiting guest ministers in Yuanling Mountain officially began. After everyone completed the process according to etiquette, the three of them came to Fang Qingyuan, bowed their heads deeply and said in unison
