Chapter 195 Big Pie Fudge
"Oh? Brother, why do you teach me?"
Lin Shan couldn't help but become curious after hearing what the Black Skeleton Demon Lord said.
The Black Skull Demon Lord did not sell it, but said frankly: "Have you ever heard of the high-end trade fair?"
"High-end. Are you talking about a large auction venue?" Lin Shan touched his chin uncertainly.
"No! Auctions generally target middle and low-level monks. The group of faces is still the vast number of low-level monks in the world of cultivation. People with real status and status go to high-end trade fairs to barter."
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord is well-informed and naturally knows a lot about the inside story of the cultivation world, and he said that he has a way to find out the location of the local "high-end trade fair" in Wangyue City.
Only then did Lin Shan realize that following an old monster by his side would bring benefits, such as high-end trade fairs where golden elixir monks gathered. He had no clue and dared not even think about it. How could it find a way to find it?
Besides, even if you can find it, how can you get in during the foundation building period?
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. High-end trade fairs in each place have their own rules. They must have strength above the Golden Core stage, or have a letter of introduction from a big influence, or have enough proof of worth. Who can say this? How accurate is it?”
The Black Skull Demon Lord is very confident. Fighting is obviously strictly prohibited in Wangyue City, and his life safety is still guaranteed. When the time comes, I will refine one or two magic weapons for him to cover up his cultivation aura, and he can naturally sneak in. .
Lin Shan nodded. In terms of worth, he had more than 300,000 spirit stones in his hand, which was more than some Golden Core monks. However, most of the high-end trade fairs involve bartering, and they only occasionally engage in the settlement of spiritual stones, but this does not affect their ability to prove their worth.
At the same time, he was also a little confused, why did this guy suddenly become so proactive? Is there any purpose?
Under the guidance of the Black Skull Demon Lord, Lin Shan went through several twists and turns and finally found the secret door of the local high-end trade fair in the north of Wangyue City. However, he was then told by the monk guarding the gate that they were not qualified.
Wangyue City's high-end trade fair has three requirements. Only if you meet the conditions can you enter and become a VIP.
Golden elixir level cultivation, letter of introduction from a major power, head of the Chamber of Commerce.
The self-certification of worth here is relatively strict, because just because you can bring out a large number of spiritual stones or treasures, it doesn’t mean that these things are really real. What if you borrowed them?
Some people use this method to pass the review, thereby obtaining VIP status and sneaking into high-end trade fairs. However, they do not buy or sell, occupying the pit in vain, which will naturally affect the business flow of the trade fair, so the organizer has strengthened restrictions on this.
Lin Shan had no choice but to leave this place.
Returning to the street, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord analyzed him.
"Brother, don't be discouraged, this matter is not difficult."
"Oh? What else can you do? They have clearly established three rules. We don't comply with any of them, so we have no chance at all."
"If there is no opportunity, then create an opportunity. The cultivation level of the Golden Core Stage cannot be reached for the time being, and we cannot match the big forces. However, the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce can give it a try!"
"You mean"
Lin Shan seemed to understand what he wanted to say.
"That's right, we can create a chamber of commerce ourselves and become the principal of the chamber of commerce. That's fine, right?" Black Skeleton Demon Lord Kaka smiled strangely.
"It's not as easy as you say. The requirements for high-end trade fairs are that the chamber of commerce must run well for more than ten years, and the profits and income must meet the targets every year. Who are you trying to fool?"
< br>
Lin Shan is not that naive. The organizer of the trade fair has strict requirements, and ordinary small and small households cannot be noticed at all, unless they are a reputable chamber of commerce in the fairy city.
But the Black Skeleton Demon Lord sounded very determined at this time:
"I don't want to fool anyone, what I mean is, if we want to do it, let's make it bigger and stronger!"
"Are you serious?!"
Lin Shan was a little unbelievable. Could it be that this skeleton monster still had business talent?
"Are you sure you have this ability? First of all, to establish a chamber of commerce in Wangyue City, you must get approval from the superiors and issue a business license to you. Next, you must have start-up capital, and then you must be able to rent a prime location, and then you must confirm that we will do business. What, after it’s decided, we need to expand manpower, train, and operate”
"None of these are problems!" The Black Skeleton Demon Lord spoke firmly, concisely and forcefully.
"!!!"
Lin Shan couldn't see through this guy. He was traveling in hell and heaven, could he really be an all-rounder?
"Brother, I know you don't like trouble. You think about practicing and getting stronger all day long, and you are not interested in these messy external things, but don't forget that you still have brother!"
"Have you forgotten about the two sides?"
"You don't have to worry about the formation and operation of the Chamber of Commerce. Leave all the power to my brother. You can rent a cave to practice in peace, just lie down and collect the money, and it's done."
The Black Skull Demon Lord's tone was seductive and his descriptions were so real that Lin Shan couldn't help but feel excited after hearing this.
Let him go into business, but he has no time to spare.
But since someone can do it for you, not only can you make money, but you can also get yourself tickets to high-end trade fairs, why not do it.
"What kind of business do you have in mind?"
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord nodded: "Of course, but I have to borrow your summoning technique."
"Summoning?"
Lin Shan suddenly remembered that when he was preaching in the East China Sea and Ezo waters, he had conducted experiments and contracted thousands of "East China Sea seafood", such as razor clams, scallops, shrimps, crabs, oysters, conches, etc.
Back then, the Black and Red Shas made a fortune by reselling the Summoning Technique. They didn't expect that they would soon follow this old path, but it was indeed a good choice for the present.
As a landlocked country, Lu State usually relies on imports of seafood and aquatic products. He can use his summoning skills to summon these messy "seafood spirits" from the East China Sea for breeding.
However, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord did not know that he had so many summons. The skeleton only followed him after that, when Kame Master died, and did not understand Lin Shan's previous experiences.
What it means is that Lin Shan can summon the "Mermaid Girl". When this girl intercepted the Demonic Fleet in the windy waters of the East China Sea, Lin Shan forcibly signed a summoning contract and was forced to be enslaved remotely. The Black Skeleton Demon Lord had seen this with his own eyes.
This kind of contract is rooted deep in the soul. Unless this woman breaks through the golden elixir stage and gets rid of it herself, it will be difficult for outsiders to help her get rid of it.
Lin Shan only needs to summon the Mermaid girl over and ask her to help collect aquatic products in the East China Sea. He will dump them in Lu State and buy them directly. Not only are the varieties complete and fresh, but it is also much easier than breeding.
"Brother, think about it, the Sharks are the most powerful snakes in the windy sea area. They are simply relying on the sea to capture aquatic products. It is also a business without capital for us. If we start this seafood wholesale business, are we afraid that the spiritual stones will keep coming?"
In the empty eyes of the Black Skeleton Demon Lord, a light of wealth-obsessed light flashed inexplicably.
However, his family knew about his family affairs, and Lin Shan was not optimistic about this.
The summoning contract can only forcibly summon the other party to come and work as a thug for him, but when she is in the East China Sea, I can't remotely interfere with her freedom. I can't guarantee whether she is willing to search for aquatic products for him. It is better to engage in breeding by myself. Spectrum.
"When I passed through the stormy sea, I killed four mermaids to build the foundation, and then forcibly signed a contract with the mermaid girl. It can be said that I had a deep hatred. It would be great if she could be summoned to be my thug. I'm afraid it would be a bit difficult to convince her to cooperate with us. ”
Lin Shan shook his head.
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord volunteered. Although he didn't have a smooth tongue, he still had a good way of talking. Trying is better than not trying.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you and I won't care."
Lin Shan immediately became the hands-off shopkeeper, looking like he could do whatever you wanted.
But the Black Skull Demon Lord reached out to him, saying that its operator would need start-up funds.
This is nothing. There are a lot of spiritual stones in the storage bracelet, so if you are idle, you will be idle. If you can really get the qualification for the "high-end trade fair", you will definitely make a profit.
The two discussed it for a while, and then Lin Shan took out 100,000 spiritual stones and gave it to it, letting it test the water first. If it can really run well, he would add a second round of investment.
Next, Lin Shan visited around the city and rented a cave.
The cave is the most common cave. It is located on the edge of Wangyue City's spiritual veins. It is very suitable for his current mentality of keeping a low profile. Lin Shan is not picky at all, as long as he has a place to rest.
Now that there is an innate spiritual treasure virtual star disk, there is no need to worry about the concentration of spiritual energy. The virtual star disk itself is a super spirit gathering array, and it can also absorb the power of the stars in the sky. Environmental factors are not necessary.
If you want to practice quickly, breathing in and out by yourself is too slow. With the help of spiritual liquid or elixir, it will be faster.
……
After rectifying it, Lin Shan took out the summoning flag and activated the summoning technique, and a vortex slowly turned away.
The Sharman girl swam out with her fish tail.
She first looked at the surrounding environment in confusion, then looked at Lin Shan and the skeleton next to her, and said coldly: "What are you looking for me for?"
Lin Shan had an embarrassed look on his face. He was forced to do it for a while without considering the consequences. Now he doesn't know where to start when enemies meet.
However, the Black Skeleton Demon King observed carefully and saw that the aura on the shark girl's body was unstable and there were even a few scars on the fish tail scales, so he couldn't help but ask.
The mermaid girl couldn't stand it any longer, and she gnashed her teeth and cursed at Lin Shan: "You humans are really beasts, the most hypocritical and cruel race in the world!"
Lin Shan couldn't help but be puzzled. Did this woman take the wrong medicine?
After the shark girl scolded him for a while, he finally understood the whole story.
It turns out that after the Allied Forces of the Zhengdao Sect of the Great Song Dynasty captured the East China Sea a year ago, in order to prevent the Demonic Path from coming back, they simply took the entire East China Sea under their control and prepared for management, and no longer gave external forces a chance to use it as a springboard.
After all, this calamity was also a bloody lesson, which made Zhengdao realize the importance of "control of the sea". This is a strategic barrier in the inland, which is equivalent to strengthening one's own defense depth. It can no longer be left alone.
Once it is planned to run a good business, then some of the original local snakes in Donghai who are unruly will be ruthlessly uprooted. Especially the alien race in the windy sea, such as the Sharman Race, is a thorn in the side of the Righteous Sect.
Those who are not of my race must have different minds.
Even if the Sharks helped the Righteous Dao to rob and kill the three Demonic Dao sects before, it was only a short-term cooperation. In terms of the overall situation, righteous people are naturally not the ones who stick to the old rules. They just throw away the trouble and kill the donkey, and fall out of favor faster than turning over a book.
The Sharks finally felt proud and proud, but they did not expect that the masters of the righteous path came directly to kill them, causing heavy losses for a while.
Fortunately, they have survived in the windy sea for many years, and Cunning Rabbit Three Cave has some back-ups, so now they can only hide in the deep sea, not daring to show up outside at all. Speaking of this, the mermaid girl couldn't help but feel sad. The weak of the tribe deserved to be bullied. This is the cruelty of the world of cultivation.
Lin Shan silently glanced at the Black Skeleton Demon Lord and secretly sent a message: "What should I do? In this case, there should be no way to mention that matter, right?"
The Black Skull Demon Lord told him to be calm and calm. The more difficult the opponent's survival was, the more resources he needed to maintain his race. It asked Lin Shan to wait in the courtyard outside the cave first, and let it discuss this matter with the mermaid girl in detail.
Lin Shan is good at it, maybe this old fritter really has that eloquence.
……
After waiting in the yard for an hour, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord came out with the shark girl. As soon as the other party opened his mouth, he went straight in.
"I agreed to this deal, and my family will receive 70% of the profit!"
"What?"
Lin Shan picked his ears and suspected that he had heard wrongly.
"You just grab some aquatic products from the East China Sea and send them over. We in Lu State need to open channels, open markets, and sell and operate. We will do the dirty work. If you want 70%, we will also be 70%!"
"Do it or not if you love it."
The mermaid girl looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. Her expression seemed to say, you have no choice but me.
The Black Skull Demon Lord stepped forward at this time, standing between the two of them: "I have a better way. I don't need to wait for the profit dividends, how about I buy you out directly at a price?"
"What do you mean?" The shark girl knew nothing about business. After all, she had been living in the shark clan since she was a child. She had never seen the world and didn't understand the twists and turns.
So after being fooled by the Black Skull Demon Lord, he finally signed a buyout agreement at the price of "twenty spiritual stones per ton of seafood spirits".
"Seafood spirits" do not refer to ordinary aquatic products, but to aquatic creatures that are more or less cultivated. This business is extremely profitable.
After sending the shark girl back to the East China Sea, Lin Shan pulled the Black Skull Demon Lord aside.
"How much can we make?"
The skeleton made a "seven" sign, and Lin Shan smiled and nodded, leaving the matter fully to it.
After all, I still have to practice, so I can just leave this business matter to my subordinates.
Speaking of subordinates, if they want to do business just relying on the Black Skull Demon King is too weak. They also have to recruit some local people in the Wangyue City Talent Market to facilitate local sales.
The Mermaid Girl's side is expected to be able to supply the goods soon, and they will also have to work hard here.
……
The two came to the talent market, because Confucianism was the mainstream here in the Lu country, and the three demon sects had just been wiped out, so the Black Skeleton Demon Lord was inconvenient to be exposed, so he put on a magical cloak and robe that concealed his aura, pretending to be Looks like a man in gray robe.
I rented a venue, wrote a notice board, and sat at the table waiting for people to come and submit their resumes.
At this time, a bunch of people in the talent market gathered around and started talking about the recruitment notice in front of them.
"Enjoy longevity and enjoy life."
"Delicious food, fresh food all the way."
"Thank you for the gift of nature?"
"The Lin Chamber of Commerce sincerely invites all Taoist friends to join us and build a better tomorrow together."
……
The students who had just graduated from the major academies in Lu State were puzzled and couldn't figure out what the Lin Chamber of Commerce was doing.
However, after most of the casual cultivators graduated from the academies, due to the involution of the Lu Kingdom cultivation world, it would be good to find a job, so naturally they would not worry too much.
A young student in the late stages of Qi training came forward and handed over his resume. He was sitting upright and slightly nervous.
"Two examiners, junior student Lu Xiuming, is a recent graduate of Jingyang Academy this year. He has not passed the Four Treasures of the Study exam. He has a second-level certificate in formation arithmetic and a first-class certificate in silver tadpole literature and language."
The gray-robed man played by the Black Skull Demon Lord nodded. He didn’t hear any new news for a while, and asked in surprise:
"Gone?"
Lu Xiuming: "No more."
Students around: "."
This is a common phenomenon. Nowadays, fully half of the academy graduates in the world of cultivation have this kind of virtue. Everyone is so good at it, so no one should laugh at anyone.
Unexpectedly, the gray-robed examiner opposite him waved his hand:
"Congratulations, classmate, and welcome to join our Chamber of Commerce!"
"???"
Everyone's jaws dropped in shock. Is it that simple?
Lu Xiuming was also a little unbelievable. Ever since he left Jingyang Academy and entered the world of cultivation, he had encountered obstacles at every turn. He didn't expect that things would turn around today!
Now he asked a little awkwardly: "How will your chamber of commerce arrange its work schedule?"
Man in gray robe: "There will be no rest on Saturdays, but no rest on Sundays. Is that acceptable?"
Lu Xiuming looked hesitant, thinking that he was still young and needed to experience and grow, so what was the point of suffering a little?
He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"
The students around him had no objections. Apparently this was a common phenomenon in the industry and they were all accustomed to it.
Lu Xiuming asked again in surprise: "What about the monthly salary and benefits?"
Man in gray robe: "Basic monthly salary of 5 spiritual stones, with commission, more rewards for more work, annual performance appraisal bonus, birthday gifts, and monthly team-building activities."
Lu Xiuming looked fascinated.
All the students around were excited and their eyes were frequently communicating.
Gray-robed man: "This Chamber of Commerce also pays for Immortal City's unemployment insurance, cave rental subsidy, elixir cultivation subsidy, etc., but it only pays according to the local minimum standards of Wangyue City."
Lu Xiuming's face showed surprise: "Okay."
All the students nodded: "Okay, okay!"
Man in Gray Robe: "Monthly meal subsidy, transportation subsidy, communication subsidy, a spiritual stone, free physical examination upon joining, project bonus, psychological counseling"
Lu Xiuming was even more moved: "Okay, okay!"
All the students were ready to move: "Not bad, not bad!"
Man in gray robe: "There will be employee training when you join the company, and the supervisor will guide you step by step to help you master the skills quickly."
Lu Xiuming clenched his fists: "That's great!"
All the students frantically signaled to each other: "Is there such a good thing?"
The man in gray robe finally dropped a bombshell: "If the chamber of commerce becomes bigger and stronger in the future, equity rewards will be given to new and old employees. You will be the next partner of Lu State!"
Lu Xiuming leaned forward and bowed: "Thank you for your support and never give up. If you dare not do it, you will die!"
All the students bowed one after another: "I dare to die if I don't do it!"
The man in gray robe stretched out his dark and sinister bone claws and lifted Lu Xiuming up. All the students present fell into a frenzy, and no one noticed this detail.
"Children! You are the future flowers of Lu's cultivation world and the fresh blood of the Chamber of Commerce. As long as you work hard, you will have plenty of spiritual stones!"
Lu Xiuming's eyes turned red and he could not speak for a long time. He had just graduated and was innocent. After eating this piece of cake, he wished he could work for the Chamber of Commerce and contribute his youth.
Students all around rushed in like crazy, and they all wanted to join today and contribute to the Chamber of Commerce’s future.
In the end, Lin Shan and Black Skull Demon Lord couldn't cope with the enthusiasm of the students, so they reluctantly accepted ten people and left.
We have supply channels, a sales team, and start-up capital. Lin Shan will give full control to the Black Skull Demon Lord on how to run the operation next. Anyway, this guy is rich in knowledge and has many clever ideas, so he doesn’t need to worry too much with him.
……
In the following time, Lin Shan began to take out the spiritual liquid to practice while learning various formation knowledge from Ling Xiaoxin, the virtual star disk master. At the same time, he used the star power of the virtual star disk to temper the body, continue to condense the spiritual power in the body, and improve the purity of the soul, but his time was not wasted.
Fast forward ten years, the wind and thunder spiritual power in the body is already full, and the bottleneck in the middle stage of foundation building is within reach.
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord also returned with its achievements.
