Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 1129 Supermarket Hypermarket

In fact, what he did not mention in depth was the problem of retired soldiers.

In the Tiandou Empire, a large number of soldiers end their military careers every year.

The profession of a soldier relies heavily on physical strength and youth, so retirement is an inevitable choice for soldiers.

Unless they are soul masters with soul power, they can use their soul power to delay the decline of their body functions to a certain extent.

These rigorously trained soldiers are not only proficient in various combat formations, but also have accumulated rich practical experience.

If we select the elite among them and have them join the Jinyiwei to be responsible for patrolling and protecting the market, we will definitely be able to do it with ease.

This is undoubtedly an extremely valuable resource that can be trained into shape in a short period of time.

Of course, these soldiers are different from the soul masters transferred to various places. Most of them will stay in the Southern Five Counties.

He had discussed this proposal with Xue Chuxin and Xue Churan before, and they expressed great enthusiasm and expectations for it, especially Xue Chuxin.

In fact, due to the large number of retired soldiers, it was difficult for the imperial court to properly resettle them all and could only help one or two, otherwise the country’s finances would be unable to bear it.

Therefore, many soldiers have to find their own way out after retirement.

Half of them went to several guilds under the Weapon Alliance, and the risk factor is very high.

Joining an organization like Jinyiwei is undoubtedly the most ideal choice, as it not only provides a stable career, but also offers generous treatment and the opportunity to work with former comrades.

In addition, in an emergency, Xue Chuxin can mobilize this paramilitary force through the Chen family.

The Chen family not only recruited these experienced soldiers, but also agreed to hire some military dependents to provide logistical services for the Jinyiwei, such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, and sewing.

There is no threshold for these jobs, anyone can do it.

The remuneration packages for these positions are also very generous compared to similar positions, and the benefits provided by the Chen family are even more attractive.

The huge industrial group under the Chen family also provides employees with many low-cost internal benefits.

The Chen family generously gave Xue Chuxin 2000 soldier quotas and 200 logistics quotas, which can also be used as a means for Xue Chuxin to win people's hearts.

Because when Xue Chuxin conveyed this news to her senior generals, they banged the table and scrambled for these places, even taking off their uniforms and almost fighting.

After all, who doesn’t have some old friends, subordinates, or widows of comrades-in-arms?

Being able to arrange their future livelihood is also the fulfillment of their wish.

It was not until Xue Chuxin assured that there would be vacancies next year that the generals reluctantly calmed down their dispute and sat down to discuss.

But the quarrel lasted for several days and was very heated.

This move once again greatly enhanced Xue Chuxin's prestige in the Chang'an Military Region.

After that, even Xue Churan asked for hundreds of places for the City Guards and the Public Security Bureau.

There is really no way, this matter has too great an impact.

Of course, this is a story for later.

……

Everyone present looked at each other, and finally He Qingchuan took the lead in speaking.

He said calmly, "Xiao Jun, you should consider using our spirit masters as the backbone. You recruit 5000 people, and we will make up the 500 people that Old Huantou just mentioned. This should be enough to meet the demand, right?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaojun showed a gentle smile on his face. He picked up the exquisite teacup and said softly: "Then I will use tea instead of wine. Thank you all for your strong support." After that, he gently raised the glass to signal to everyone.

Chu Tianshu immediately responded: "Xiaojun, this is what we should do."

Chen Xiaojun nodded to express his gratitude, but his expression became serious: "I am very grateful. In a few days, I will send the relevant recruitment details to the homes of all the seniors."

"However, I must say something in advance. The duties of the Jinyi Guards are far more arduous than those of the Jinwu Guards, and they cannot enjoy the same treatment as the Jinwu Guards, where they can bathe once every five days."

“No one can afford to be lazy or half-hearted by then.”

Everyone responded in unison: "This is natural."

The Jinwu Guards they discussed before were disbanded and reorganized because Chang'an City was too large. There was a team of people guarding a fixed area in the southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest of the city every day.

Among the remaining sixteen teams, twelve are responsible for being on standby at all times, training, and hunting down high-level criminals. After all, they exist as a rapid response force.

The remaining four teams can enjoy their rest time.

The Jinyiwei were much busier as they patrolled the entire market and maintained order.

……

Chen Xiaojun said seriously: "Well, let's discuss the last thing."

When everyone heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across their faces: "There is another topic?"

Chen Xiaojun looked around, caught the confusion on their faces, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

He explained gently: "My fellow seniors, you all know that the Southern Five Counties not only have the prosperous medicinal materials market in Chang'an City, but also the Tianlang forging market, the Wushan County timber and planting market, the Nottingham agricultural market, and the Xingyun County animal husbandry market."

He paused and continued, "Over the years, relying on the original characteristic industries in various places, these markets have achieved rapid development and remarkable results."

“Therefore, I have an idea to promote further linkage between these markets and the industries of your families.”

Gu Qianli raised his eyebrows and asked, "Xiaojun, what do you mean by 'linkage'?"

Chen Xiaojun's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and he explained, "My idea is to select the best products from various markets - such as the fine weapons forged by Tianlang, the exquisite furniture, fine paper, elegant bonsai and premium tea from Wushan County, as well as the high-quality grains, delicious fruits and vegetables produced in Nottingham, etc."

"Then, we will combine the specialty products of your families and our Chen family to jointly create a centralized sales venue for high-end products in the East Market."

Gao Ying frowned and thought, then asked, "How is this centralized sales model different from our daily store operations?"

Chen Xiaojun nodded and replied: "The key lies in 'centralization'."

"Imagine a large venue with all the high-end products gathered together. The dazzling array of products will surely attract a large number of people and stimulate consumers' desire to buy."

“I named this sales place ‘supermarket’.”

He further elaborated: "The product positioning of Dongshi itself is relatively high-end, so this 'supermarket' does not intend to go for volume, but focuses on selling high-value goods and only sells expensive ones."

"I believe that as long as your family's products are introduced, sales will definitely increase significantly."

Gao Ying's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Can the meat from my soul beasts be added to the mix?"

Chen Xiaojun nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course, everything can be sold, as long as the product is high-end."
