Chapter 38 Shouda Trading Company VS Qian's Trading Company

…

Five guards in the northwest of Longzuo!

With Northwest Guard as the core, the terrain here is vast, but the water system resources are very poor. Most of the aristocratic families mainly focus on livestock farming, mining, or growing some drought-tolerant crops.

The famous Northland heavy-duty draft horse is a specialty of the northwest guards. There are many aristocratic families in Longzuo County who will buy and raise some heavy-duty draft horses to increase the family's transportation capacity.

The entire Northwest Five Guards has a total of eleven seventh-grade aristocratic families, and countless eighth- and ninth-grade aristocratic families are scattered among the vast grassland and pastures. Most of the members of the aristocratic families have gone as far as the Northwest Acropolis in their lives.

The northwest acropolis stands on the edge of the vast grassland. The city outline is majestic, and the towering and thick city walls can easily withstand the impact of fifth-level ferocious beasts. Groups of garrison soldiers are stationed on the archery towers of the city wall.

The sun rises above the horizon, and the sky and earth light up.

The heavy city gate slowly opened, and the caravans, people, or some casual cultivators who had been waiting outside entered the acropolis one by one. Humans only occupy a small part of the vast grassland.

Although the grassland's production is not as rich as the resources in the south, it still has many unique products. For example, the famous ordinary straw mushrooms and spiritual straw mushrooms grow randomly in the grassland.

The former is delicious and is a rare delicacy when cooked with grassland beef and mutton. The latter is a rare and precious spiritual food material that also has the effect of elixirs and medicine.

However, both kinds of mushrooms are mainly fresh and tender. They are best eaten two or three days after being kept fresh, and their edible value will decrease sharply with each passing day. Therefore, in areas further away, only dried products can be enjoyed.

Chunyu Andong was born into a low-ranking Xuanwu family in the Northwest Five Guards, and had outstanding aptitude since childhood. However, with the resources and power the family has, it is absolutely impossible to help him break through the Lingtai realm and become a high-ranking Lingtai ancestor.

As a result, Chunyu Andong became a wandering merchant when he was eighteen years old, and his footprints were almost all over Longzuo County. Simply speaking, within the scope of Longzuo County, there are many, many such people.

Most of them will eventually die silently in a foreign country. A small number of people will choose a place to settle, forming one family after another. Only a handful of people, due to factors such as luck, opportunity, hard work, etc., have entered the Lingtai realm and broken the solidification of class.

Chunyu Anton was one of the few successful people. After he entered the Lingtai realm, he continued to organize casual cultivators to run businesses and established a small and inconspicuous trading firm. After pursuing profits, he expanded his property and gradually turned his low-born family into a ninth-grade aristocratic family.

And Chunyu Andong also became the ancestor of the Chunyu family of the ninth grade family, which can be said to be a perfect achievement.

But when Chunyu Andong was young, he was used to wandering around. He missed the adventurous life in the wilderness with his fellow cultivators when he was in Zhenze Guard, and he also missed running business back and forth between East Sea Guard and Hundred Island Guard. , days of making small profits.

Similarly, he also missed the time when he was young and frivolous watching the sunrise with a girl from a young family in Izumo Guard. It's a pity that the status of the two parties is very different. In the end, the girl's elders beat her up, which became a lifelong regret.

He wanted to look around again, but now that he was over a hundred years old, his family needed him to guard it, and his descendants couldn't live without him as their ancestor. He can no longer spend a lot of time wandering around as he did when he was young.

Chunyu Anton compromised for the sake of his family. I thought that all those memories and hopes would be buried underground with him.

However, an opportunity now brought Chunyu Anton's originally dead heart back to life again.

Northwest Weibaiweiju branch.

Due to Yuwen Shijia's good management, Baiweiju here is also considered one of the top restaurants. Many high-end banquets and banquets in the area will be held in Baiweiju.

Due to the limitation of ingredients, most of the dishes here are cooked with beef, mutton and spiritual meat. The most famous spiritual meat is a high-end spiritual meat-grade ingredient called Lingxue Sheep. Whether it is grilled or shabu-shabu, it is First-class plump and smooth, it melts in your mouth.

Several storefronts next to this Baiweiju have been taken over at some point. After some decoration, the sign "Shuda Trading Firm" has been hung on the lintel.

Undoubtedly, this was a new trading company established by the Wang family and their in-law alliance. They originally agreed to call it Shouzhe Trading Company. However, Wang Shouzhe rejected it and finally named it after the character "Shou", which means "Keep your promise and you will achieve it".

The current head of the Northwest Guard branch of Shouda Trading Company is called Lei Yongbai. He is an elder from the Lingtai clan in the Lei family in Changning. At the age of 150, he was sent to the Northwest Guard as the head of the in-law alliance. The new business houses are using their remaining heat.

In addition, there are also a group of juniors from various ethnic groups who are arranged in the branch to serve as manpower, learn from them, and have to practice hard.

A branch like this must have at least one Lingtai realm monk in charge, otherwise it will not meet the standards of a commercial bank and will also be easily questioned. Although each in-law family has a limited number of Lingtai realm monks, and each has its own tasks. But this time the business opened up wasteland, many ancestors stopped their work and went to open up wasteland in various places.

At the same time, each family quickly cultivates the next generation of Lingtai realm monks to gradually expand the scale of personnel turnover.

This day.

It is already the second month since the northwest branch of Shouda Trading Co., Ltd. was opened. Because the northwest branch is a remote branch, only one spirit bird flying chariot arrives in the morning every day. Then the spirit bird master and the flying chariot take a short rest, and then in the evening Start going to Longzuo County City.

Lei Yongbai, the head shopkeeper of the commercial bank branch, has already started a busy day. Today, he will make an appointment to meet with the heads of three eighth-grade aristocratic families to discuss the price and supply of white jade spiritual rice and fire crystal spiritual rice grains. By the way, he will also discuss the long-term supply contract of fresh spiritual fish and meat, as well as the family spiritual meat industry. consignment agreement!

The members of these families have been using their souls and flesh to replenish their Qi and blood for a long time, and they have long been tired of it. Fresh and tender spiritual fish meat is the product they crave most.

The young people under the trading firm also started working with full vigor. Recently, after a trial operation and promotion of the Northwest Branch, business has gradually begun to improve, which has greatly increased their confidence and feels that the future is bright.

Customers entered the business one after another, each with their own needs. I have letters that need to be sent, and I also want to wait to buy some scattered fresh goods!

"Senior Chunyu." A young teller named Gongsun was smoothly handling procedures for Chunyu Andong and said, "This is your travel schedule. You will arrive at Juncheng tomorrow, and then you can take Juncheng to Izumo on the same day. The flying chariot of Wei will arrive at Izumo Guard the day after tomorrow. After spending two days in Izumo Guard, you can take the Longzuo Ring Flying Chariot to reach Hyakushima Guard, Changning Guard, and Zhenze Guard. Finally, you can take the Zhenze Guard Take the flying chariot to the county town, and then transfer to the flying chariot from the county town to the northwest guard."

"This package only costs one hundred gold, and we'll give you a 10% discount because it's newly opened! However, before you board the train, your personal luggage must not exceed ten kilograms, otherwise you will have to purchase an additional luggage ticket."

Only ninety gold? Chunyu Anton was a little dizzy. Apart from the seven days spent commemorating and playing in various places, this series of journeys only took six or seven days.

In half a month and ninety gold, his long-held dream came true! If we had to take a carriage, we wouldn't be able to get back in less than half a year.

It is indeed a school flying chariot. Not only is it fast, it also takes the shortest distance.

At this moment.

There was a crisp chirp of a crane in the sky, and a spiritual bird flying chariot pierced the sky and landed quickly at a fixed time. Although this was not the first time I saw it, it still attracted a lot of attention.

After the flying chariot stopped.

The first to come down were the passengers, five of them in total. Except for one young man who was in the Qi Refining Realm, there were three others in the Lingtai Realm, and a middle-aged man whose cultivation was unpredictable.

It was very obvious that he was a cultivator in the Heavenly Realm.

Monks in the heavenly realm can levitate and fly in the air for a longer period of time, but every breath and every moment consumes profound energy. If you want him to soar in the sky like a starry night and travel two to three thousand miles overnight, you won't be able to kill him.

In fact, even if a powerful cultivator in the heavenly realm can do it, it is not cost-effective, it is too tiring! If you can sit comfortably in a flying car and squint all night, you can reach your destination. Why not?

After all the passengers had disembarked, the clerks hired by the branch began to unload the goods in a hurry. A small ice crystal freezer is installed on the flying chariot, and a small cargo warehouse is towed at the bottom of the car.

The ice crystal freezers are used to store high-end ingredients, including fresh seafood caught the day before yesterday, large lobsters weighing more than ten kilograms, abalone as big as a bowl, giant sea urchins that are guaranteed to be yellow, etc.

There are also some more precious ice-cold sea fish, which are some high-quality parts of a third-level purple gold sea fish, which are an excellent choice for eating sea fish.

According to the agreement between Shouda Trading Company and Yuwen Family, 80% to 90% of these high-quality ingredients are supplied to Northwest Wei Baiweiju, and a small amount of them are reserved by well-established families.

Because these ingredients are reasonably priced and extremely fresh, Baiweiju's business is booming.

The small cargo hold hanging below the flying chariot car contains some lightweight supplies. For example, some precious spiritual silks, spiritual materials and other money-making items.

In addition, Huiqisi, the driver of the flying chariot, also has a storage ring on his hand. The high-end clothes customized by Zhou in the county town, the cultivation elixirs purchased on behalf of others, and about dozens of letters and small packages.

After Huiqisi took off his storage ring, he began to have a meal and rest under the reception of the teller. There are also dedicated personnel to take care of the spiritual birds, feed them spiritual food, and rest them.

The tellers and clerks were busy.

Some employee riders, carrying letters and parcels, began to rush to various places to deliver letters and parcels. The guys from Baiweiju also came to pick up the freshest ingredients. Their customers had already made reservations for lunch and dinner, and it seemed that no matter how many ingredients they had, they were in short supply.

at the same time.

In the Northwest Acropolis, there is a Xiong family from the Northwest, who is a local seventh-grade powerful man. There happens to be a legitimate girl in their family who is about to get married. On the first day that Shouda Trading Company opened, he took a flying chariot to the county town and customized a beautiful wedding dress at Zhou's clothing store, worth two to three thousand gold.

The "Shuda Trading Company" is responsible for transporting Zhou's wedding dress back and sending it to Xiong after she completes it. Shouda Trading Company didn't make much money from this order, but it opened up a new idea.

I remember that Wang Shouzhe once entrusted Qian to buy wedding clothes from Zhou in the county town. But not only does the cycle take a long time, but there is also no way to choose personally.

Therefore, taking this opportunity, Shouda Trading Company and the Zhou family have also reached a certain cooperation, specifically promoting Zhou's clothing manual. Whether it is driving customers to Zhou's tailor-made clothes, or dragging Zhou's garment makers back and forth to provide door-to-door service, Shouda Da Commercial Bank can take 10% of it.

It can also be seen from this that once the Spirit Bird Chariot system is fully built, how many changes will it bring to Longzuo County’s life? I went to the county town today to buy a set of clothes, and after having a hot pot, I went home tomorrow.

If you are in a bad mood, you can also go to Izumoe to watch the sunrise and sunset.

Even if you have free time, you can go fishing in Zhenzewei, or ride horses on the prairie in Northwest Wei for a few days! Of course, you can also go to Hyakushimawei to feed a seagull and go home the next day to continue your life...

All kinds of conveniences have subverted the living habits of humans in Longzuo County. Of course, what has changed are the top people in Longzuo County and a small number of ordinary people with business minds.

The vast majority of people at the bottom of society still live their lives as they should.

A situation similar to that of Northwest Guard is just the tip of the iceberg. The flying chariot system of each guard has gradually been on the right track, forming big news and big gossip in Longzuo County.

In addition, many "rumors" began to spread in Longzuo County.

The reason why "Shuda Trading Company" was established was due to Qian's Trading Company's suppression and betrayal of its former allies. The owners of Shouda Trading Company were originally close partners of Qian's Trading Company, but Qian's Trading Company suddenly wanted to increase the commission from the cooperation from 20% to 50%.

The partners were forced to find ways to open up channels on their own. And before that, the partners headed by Wang originally wanted to build Shouda Trading Company together with Qian.

This kind of rumor trend and facts suddenly dealt a blow to the credibility of Qian's trading company, and more importantly, made a mockery of Qian's stupid strategic layout. It is said that even the ancestor of the Qian family's Zifu was alarmed and got angry in the family once.

at the same time.

In the main hall of the Qian family in Longzuo.

A middle-aged man with a broad face and a majestic expression smashed the vase into pieces and said angrily: "Is that little beast Xuerui back?"

A butler with unfathomable cultivation whispered: "Master, we have already rushed to invite the young master to come back. However, Nan Liuwei is far away, so I am afraid it will take some time before we can get home."

"It's far away?" The head of the Qian family trembled, and said with an angry smile, "It's far away, why don't you take the Shouda Trading Company's flying chariot? That little beast really fails to succeed and fails to do anything. He can't even figure out the situation, so he just Dare to fall out with Mr. Wang and others. This will cause me, Ms. Qian, to miss this opportunity!"

"Master, calm down," the housekeeper advised, "Young Master also made such a decision for the sake of the Qian family. And the Wang family obviously didn't have good intentions. Maybe he had already made a secret plan to leave us, the Qian family, and go it alone. "
