The road to immortality for a hundred generations

Chapter 166
After stepping on a good spot, the next thing to do is to buy, buy, buy.

First of all, the space required for a lottery shop is not large, and secondly, it does not need a very prosperous place.

As long as it's not in a small corner that's particularly difficult to find.

It is for this reason that whether it is renting or buying a shop, the price required is not too high.

Since he didn't have much gold with him, Wang Feng just paid the deposit first after choosing the location of each store.

But having said that, although the location of the lottery store in the future does not need to be a conspicuous place, that is because the reputation of the lottery store in the future does not need a good location.

But in this Xiantian City, although there are games of chance like archery, pot throwing, and other lottery-like games, which are essentially the same as buying lottery tickets, they still look different from buying lottery tickets, and the people of Xiantian City may not understand them.

Therefore, the location of this first batch of lottery stores should be more conspicuous and the location should be better.

In addition, we need to find ways to advertise these first batch of twenty lottery shops to let the public understand that buying lottery tickets is similar to the archery and pot game, except that it takes less effort and worry, and the jackpot is bigger.

At this time, the role of the location chosen by Wang Feng for the first batch of lottery stores became apparent.

When he selected locations, he specifically chose those next to at least one store with a large customer flow.

Now is the time to take advantage of it.

"Eh? This rice shop is the largest in the area. They are definitely not allowed to sell it to you."

Seeing Wang Feng walking towards Liangjia Rice Shop, Yan Xiumin thought that he was buying the shop like before, so she quickly reminded him.

Wang Feng didn't speak, he just waved his hands without stopping.

"If you don't listen to good people, you will suffer a lot. I want to see if you can let the Liang family transfer this store to you."

Yan Xiumin, who was following behind, thought angrily.

"Hey, this guest, what would you like to order?"

Seeing that the visitor seemed to have an extraordinary bearing, the waiter's face was immediately filled with smiles.

You must know that he has a quota every month. If you buy more, you will be rewarded. If you buy less, your monthly salary will be deducted.

Therefore, he is naturally respectful to people like Wang Feng and those who may be big customers.

"Look for your shopkeeper, I have something to discuss with him,"

Wang Feng casually took out a piece of broken silver, put it on the wooden counter and pushed it over, "This is for you."

"Hey! Okay, okay! Wait a moment, sir!"

One of the two guys in the rice shop had quick hands and quick eyes and took the silver directly into his hand. Then he gave his companion a proud look and ran towards the second floor.

Although it was just a piece of broken silver, not even one tael, it was still worth hundreds of copper coins, which was enough to cover his two or three days' monthly income.

"Eh,"

The other clerk watched helplessly as he missed the piece of silver and felt very regretful.

He was just stunned for a moment, and his monthly money for two or three days was gone. It was such a loss.

"Can we chat?"

Wang Feng took out another larger piece of broken silver, placed it on the wooden counter again, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I just want to open a shop nearby, not to steal your shop's secrets. In addition, the shop I open is not a rice shop, and I will not compete with your boss for business."

"Hey, okay, okay, sir, you ask, you ask, I will definitely know everything and tell you everything."

Seeing the piece of silver worth at least six to seven hundred copper coins, the guy's eyes widened.

Isn’t this as much as his monthly salary for a few days?

"How many customers can your rice shop get in a day? When do you get the most customers? How old are those customers? What price range of rice do they buy?"

Soon, Wang Feng started chatting with the clerk, and all the questions he wanted were answered one by one by the clerk opposite.

Although what the other party gave was only a rough range, it was enough.

As footsteps came downstairs, the waiter who stayed behind immediately shut his mouth.

Although he felt that what he said was not important, talking about it to outsiders in front of the shopkeeper could easily cause trouble.

"This distinguished guest, what do you want from me?"

The shopkeeper asked as he walked.

As the shopkeeper of the largest local rice shop in Beicheng District, he could tell at a glance that the two people in front of him were no ordinary people.

Whether it's in terms of temperament or words and deeds.

"I wonder if the shopkeeper knows the tricks of throwing pots and shooting arrows to win prizes?"

Wang Feng asked with a smile.

In Dawei, this kind of small game is just an unpopular game, and most people don't know about it.

But in Xiantian City, where the entertainment industry is sufficiently developed, pot throwing and archery have become popular games. It is impossible for the person in front of me not to know this.

"I know something about it. What do you mean by this?"

The shopkeeper of Mipu still looked puzzled.

"Is such that,"

Wang Feng explained, "I want to open a store like this nearby, but it may not be easy to attract customers in the early stage. I thought it would be better to cooperate with the shopkeeper, so that everyone would be better off."

"Cooperation?"

The shopkeeper of Mipu thought for a moment and felt that he might have some benefits, so he said, "How about we go up to the second floor and slowly talk about how this cooperation works?"

"It's impossible."

Seeing that the other party was interested, the smile on Wang Feng's face became even bigger.

As long as the other party doesn't say no on the spot, then half of the matter is settled.

More than a quarter of an hour later, the three people walked down from the second floor.

"Hey, dear brother, come to my house to sit for a while in the evening? I'll ask your sister-in-law to cook two dishes for us, and how many drinks can we have?"

"No, no, opportunities will come naturally in the future. I've been busy opening a shop these days, and I really can't get away."

hypocritical.

Yan Xiumin looked at the shopkeeper of the rice shop who was chatting happily with Wang Feng, and a trace of contempt flashed in her heart.

Isn't it just the benefit of receiving two taels of gold?You are the owner of a well-known rice shop in Beicheng!Was he bribed with just two taels of gold? ? ?
"You two, when my shop is renovated, I may be in trouble for you in the next month."

Wang Feng took out two more ingots and twenty taels of silver and placed them in front of the two rice shop workers.

"Ah? What, what's going on?"

Although they were very greedy for the piece of silver in front of them, the two confused guys still didn't dare to take it.

Especially in front of the shop owner of Mipu.

"Hey! My good brother asked you to take it, so you just take it. Even if I ask you to help, it's just a small matter. Is it possible that I still ask you to kill people and prevent fires?"

But soon, the shopkeeper of Mipu spoke, and what he said made the two of them ecstatic.

Counting the pieces of silver that the distinguished guests around them had just given, the reward they received today was almost as much as last month's salary.

"Don't worry, it's actually nothing. It's just that my store will open next to it in a few days, and I would like to ask you to help promote it."

Wang Feng said with a smile.

"So that's it, easy to talk about, easy to talk about!" When they heard that it was just such a small matter, the two guys felt relieved.

I was just helping to promote the store. If I had told them earlier, they would not even be able to secure their money.

After leaving Liangjia Mipu, Wang Feng followed the same pattern and found other shops to cooperate with him around the other twenty shops where he had paid deposits.

Of course, not everyone is so easy to talk to.

Four of them thought twice and chose to refuse. The other three not only refused, but also revealed their sarcasm in their words, saying that they wanted to open a store even if they did some tricks, and they didn't even take pictures of themselves by peeing, etc.

Wang Feng naturally didn't care about this.

Human beings are inherently diverse, and there are all kinds of birds in the forest.

But Yan Xiumin, who was accompanying him, couldn't bear it anymore.

She is the most loved princess in Gala Kingdom, not only inferior to one person, but superior to ten thousand people, but it is not too different.

And in this Xiantian City, no matter how bad things are, she is still an innate, how can she bear this?
However, with Wang Feng's comfort, she still suppressed the anger in her heart.

"It's getting late, it's time for you to go back, right?"

After coming out of the last shop, Wang Feng said with a smile, "Thank you very much for today. I will invite you to Tianxian Tower for a meal when you have time."

"That's a deal,"

As soon as she heard about Tianxian Tower, the frustration that had just accumulated in Yan Xiumin's heart suddenly disappeared and turned into expectation and excitement.

On weekdays, she is only willing to eat once every ten days and a half, and she is reluctant to eat too much. It's so good.

And now, since this wealthy businessman said that he would treat him to dinner next time, she would naturally not be polite.

As for why she said the other party was a rich man rather than an iron rooster, it was because now she was extremely sure that the other party was the son of a rich family.

Not to mention anything else, just buying twenty shops is enough to prove it.

In terms of details, turning a blind eye to the consumption of Tianxian Tower can also be proved.

As for why she didn't think the other party was a rich man at first, it was mainly because the rich men she saw were very ostentatious, and it was rare, or almost non-existent, to be so low-key.

Because even if she sees the most low-key rich man, the jade pendant that leaked out inadvertently, the fan in her hand, or the contempt in her words are enough to prove his identity.

As for Wang Feng, if she hadn't seen how generous he was, she wouldn't have believed that he was a rich man.

Of course, besides the rich young master, Yan Xiumin actually had another guess in her mind.

That is the person in front of me, he is actually a bandit!

It's easy for bandits to make money, and they spend it lavishly and carelessly.

Although it is difficult for other places to understand that an innate warrior becomes a bandit, in Xiantian City, it is easy to understand.

The caravans near Xiantian City were so rich that even the Xiantian warriors would be jealous of them just by grabbing them a few times.

It was in this environment that the innate thieves who could only be seen in the innate city were born.

For example, this morning, she almost had her money bag taken away by a thief in the innate realm.

However, considering that the other party knew almost nothing about Xiantian City, Yan Xiumin rejected this idea.

If they were bandits near Xiantian City, they would have robbed the caravan and not come to Xiantian City to spend money. As long as they came, they should know something about Xiantian City, instead of knowing nothing about it like now.

After bidding farewell to Yan Xiumin, Wang Feng returned all the way to the inn in Nancheng District.

Most of his current net worth is in Bai Yinhe's storage ring, and a small part is in the Gao family and the Xu family.

A very small part of it is at home.

Of course, even if it is only a very small part, the amount is actually quite a lot.

For example, his Wang family's carriage was pulling several boxes of gold bars.

Uncle An, Qiu He, and Yun Niang didn't even know about these gold bars. They just thought these were Wang Feng's sundries.

There are five layers in a box, each layer contains ten gold bars. One gold bar weighs two kilograms.

In other words, a box of gold bars weighs exactly one hundred pounds.

The house he bought cost 800 taels of gold, which required three boxes of gold.

One of the twenty shops purchased ranged from a dozen taels of gold to more than [-] taels of gold, which was almost another four hundred kilograms, or four boxes of gold.

"Well, there's not enough money."

Wang Feng touched his chin and thought.

The personal gold he keeps in his home is only five boxes, worth [-] kilograms of gold.

But just calculated, he needs at least [-] kilograms of gold to pay for the house and the twenty shops.

This does not include the cost of hiring people.

However, the cost of hiring people is only a small amount, so you don’t have to count it.

After all, even if there were two clerks in one shop, there would only be forty clerks in twenty shops.

According to the current standard of three taels of silver a month, the total monthly payment is only 120 taels of silver, which is just over a pound of gold.

Calculating the cost of manpower is not as good as the cost of decorating the store.

But no matter how you calculate it, a thousand pounds of gold is enough for the initial capital.

"Looks like I have to show up to Bai Yinhe to get some money."

Wang Feng pondered.

"Choosing the day is worse than hitting the sun, let's do it now."

Looking at the completely dark sky, Wang Feng changed his appearance and changed his clothes. Then he stood downstairs in the inn and sent a message to the room where Bai Yinhe was: "Miss Bai, long time no see."

When their group entered Xiantian City, they did not hide their traces and came in together.

So from Bai Yinhe's perspective, as a grandmaster who had arrived at Xiantian City a long time ago, he found that it was normal for them to check into the inn.

"White girl?"

After hearing this long-lost call, Bai Yinhe, who was meditating in the room, was moved in his heart, opened the window and flew out.

"Senior Lin, it is indeed you."

After confirming his guess, Bai Yinhe, who was still thinking about how to contact the other party, instantly relaxed a lot.

"good,"

Wang Feng nodded and then asked, "Did you encounter any dangers on the road?"

"That's not true,"

Bai Yinhe shook his head slightly, "But what about you, senior? During the days when you stayed in Dawei, was there any movement among the demon cultivators?"

"I'm not sure about that,"

Wang Feng shook his head and made up at random, "I stayed in Dawei just to transfer another friend's family. I didn't pay much attention to this aspect. Moreover, I have only been in Xiantian City not long ago, so I haven't found out much yet."

"So it is,"

Hearing this, Bai Yinhe suddenly understood and praised, "Senior Lin is really a man of great temperament, and I really admire him."
