Chapter 229: Broiler Chicken Plan and Merchant Village Site Selection
After Zhou You succeeded, he observed for a few days, verified the function of the Qi and Blood Gu, and then left.

He originally wanted to keep an eye on Jin Heshan and collect more information, but the martial artist's senses were too sensitive.

Zhou You sneaked in secretly several times, but before he could get close, Jin Heshan reacted immediately, and his eyes swept over like a blazing beam of light, almost exposing his whereabouts.

The more I come into contact with them, the more I understand how terrifying martial artists are.

Zhou You only then realized that his previous successes were mostly due to sheer luck, and he must no longer rely on luck.

His arrangement for Li Chonghe was to use as a surprise trump card.

Once he was confronted with Jin Heshan, the eldest disciple betrayed him and attacked him from behind at the critical moment, with a very effective effect.

Before that, let him lurk for a while and get some experience points from him.

Zhou You ordered Li Chonghe to only practice two boxing skills, the Double-Body Tiger Form Fist and the Cantian Yangyuan Gong.

The former is still in its early stages and needs further optimization based on experience gained from other industries.

Zhou You used the Qi and Blood Gu and even stole the Heming Fist from Li Chonghe, from which he gained insight into Jin Heshan's boxing skills.

Knowing yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. This move is also to gain the upper hand.

As for the Cantian Yangyuan Gong, it is like a chicken rib to Zhou You. It is a waste of time and effort with little effect. Its only advantage is that it gives you a lot of experience points.

Now that he has Rouji as his substitute player, he might as well let him help with the training and research. Who knows, Li Chonghe has a special physique and may be able to help him figure out some secrets!
Anyway, no matter what benefits Li Chonghe gets, he will have to hand over the terminal to Zhou You in the end.

Zhou You estimated that he could get at least 10000 experience points from Li Chonghe.

If Jiang Hua can be patient, maybe he can wait for Zhou You's third vest to be upgraded to a blank martial artist and give him a big surprise.

After the upgrade, the third vest Yan Ping's blood and qi have reached the 9th level, and he is only one step away from breaking through to the beginner level of martial artist.

Although he is a blank martial artist with no skills or special moves, he has extremely important significance.

Once you have mastered the path to becoming a martial artist, it will be easy to make breakthroughs with other boxing skills later on.

After leaving the town, Zhou You made a special trip to the nearest Shenjia Commercial Village.

After all, his excuse for this trip was to investigate the external environment of the business and prepare for future work.

Warehouses and trading posts are key nodes for merchants’ external transportation, which are equivalent to the intersection of blood vessels.

Caravans traveling from south to north need to stop to rest, replenish supplies, and trade some goods locally to repatriate funds.

Therefore, the location of the merchant village is extremely important, and no matter how bad it is, it cannot be located in the wilderness.

When Zhou You arrived at the merchant village, he saw mules and horses passing by in groups, carrying large and small packages of goods. These were bulk goods, and the more valuable and delicate ones were packed in boxes and shipped by horse-drawn carriages.

"Zhou You, how come you have time to come here!"

The person in charge of the Shang village was actually Xu Ying's father, Manager Xu.

Because of Xu Ying's relationship, and the fact that Zhou's father was also a colleague, Zhou You politely called him uncle.

"Uncle Xu, I came to take a look at the situation so that I can help you in the future."

Manager Xu didn't say much, he knew more than outsiders.

Once upon a time, it was difficult for Zhou You to take over his father's job as a waiter, but now...

Manager Xu had heard that the boss intended to marry his daughter to Zhou You, not to give him shares in order to win him over to the company.

If you want to do business safely in troubled times, you must have a strong fist. A son-in-law who can fight is worth more than ten thousand gold.

Thinking that Zhou You would soon become his immediate superior, Manager Xu became even more polite, "Come, take a look around."

After wandering around for half a day, I discovered the shortcomings of this merchant village.

Compared with the town where Jinhe Mountain is located, the geographical location is not very good and the transportation cost is quite high.

As a result, the cost of transporting goods accounts for the majority, eating up a large part of the profit.

"Uncle Xu, why did you build the Shangzhai in this place?"

Zhou You expressed his doubts to Manager Xu.

Manager Xu was surprised at the accuracy of his gaze and sighed, "Don't mention it."

The town, which originally had the best geographical location, was occupied by Jin Heshan. This man had a big appetite and felt that paying protection fees was not enough. If you want to do business on his territory, you have to pay 30% of the shares first.

Mr. Shen would never do such a thing as inviting a wolf into the house. He would rather pay a high cost to build the merchant camp somewhere else.

It was fine in the past, but as the situation became turbulent, bandits, beasts, and monsters appeared one after another, and the cost of escorting in the wild rose sharply.

"Even I, as the manager, have to come out to supervise, otherwise the transportation will be a mess and there will be countless losses."

Manager Xu sighed, "Zhou You, the situation is tough now, and everyone has to live frugally!"

Therefore, it is easy to solve the problem. We just need to get rid of Jin Heshan, take back the town and build a warehouse.

What a big deal!
After Zhou You returned to Gongliang City, he first went to visit his senior brother Shen Sijing.

"Junior Brother Zhou, what a rare guest!"

"No, no, I just came back from outside the city. I have something to discuss with my senior brother."

Zhou You exchanged pleasantries with him for a while, mainly talking about his trip out to investigate the external environment.

"Hey, you can see that the company is now stretched to the limit. A group of experienced workers were laid off last month. My father was so distressed that he couldn't sleep for several nights. But there is nothing we can do. We can't afford to feed so many mouths."

Zhou You didn't say anything. The business was in such a difficult situation, but his father's salary had not been reduced.

Mr. Shen has done his utmost to help their family.

Regardless of whether he has any purpose or not, Zhou You should do something for the Shen family business.

"Brother, relax. Things will get better."

After Zhou You, Jiang Hua and others killed Jin Heshan, the trading company moved into the town and established a warehouse, thus saving a lot of transportation costs.

This move was also to repay Senior Brother Shen for standing by his side and lending a helping hand when the martial arts school broke up.

"I hope so."

Shen Sijing didn't take it to heart; he took Zhou You's words as a comfort.

After all, the operation of the business would not improve easily.
