The Great Seminary

Chapter 110 Starting a Company
Zhang Gui was a little confused by the chaos in front of him.

Frowning, he pointed at the coffee girl and said, “Wait a minute, Ms. Pollis.

You just said she was your biological sister, Sally Black Lion Halifah.

And everyone in this room is her clone, right?"

Lisa raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you so surprised, Mr. Yang?

Are you the only one who has a great ancestor and has inherited his glorious bloodline?

Can't other people have this kind of experience?"

"of course not."

Zhang Gui, who had been living too smoothly recently, suddenly remembered that according to Dong Hezhou, he was just a Class D cultivator.

Among the many powerful divine clusters he possesses, none of them is related to insight and the ability to dispel delusion.

After losing the panacea-like blessing of the 'regional divine power', other aspects are just like that except for the head-on fighting.

So he sighed and said, "I just suddenly realized that I am not as powerful as I thought."

Pollis laughed.
"Mr. Yang, you are not a pickpocket or hooligan on the streets of Civilized Pioneer City.

You weren't really fooling yourself into thinking that a few days ago, you almost crushed the Moon God's creation with one punch after freezing the sea surface, right? "

A thought flashed through Zhang Gui's mind.
"Of course not. I'm not the fake celestial being of 'Dajia Daji'. Let alone smashing the ancient god's creation, even scratching the skin is difficult.

You weren't the one who spread this outrageous and absurd rumor, were you? "

“Don’t worry about whether the rumors are absurd or not.

In the Pioneer of Civilization, an island city founded with the corpses of slaves and the blood and tears of adventurers.

Being able to scare people brings you closer to wealth and success."

"An otherworldly version of 'Facing North'? It truly lives up to the name 'Pioneer of Civilization'."

Zhang Gui picked up the coffee, took a sip, and turned his head to Sally.
“Are your Nishigazhou pop idol signatures so advanced?

It's a pity that I learned this on the first day I arrived in this 'civilized' city.

Never sign anything unless you have to.

I have always believed that only by learning until old age can one live to old age."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pollis clapped his hands softly, "What a wise understanding.

Sally, you now know that my new client is not a fool who shows off his power by relying on his bloodline.

Can we leave now?"

Sally's innocent smile faded into something more elegant. She lifted the hem of her skirt and gave Zhang Gui a nod. "I'm sorry, Mr. Yang. It seems I was overthinking it."

Then I saw the other two girls in the office strolling towards the oven.

He took out some fragrant pastries and placed them in front of Zhang Gui.

Then the two of them turned and walked towards Sally.

As he took steps, his real body gradually became illusory, and finally overlapped with Sally's figure and disappeared without a trace.

Then Sally walked towards the stairs, and as she passed by the fat maids sweeping the floor, her shadow flashed under her feet.

The two men and their brooms instantly became as flat as paper, fell into the shadows, and disappeared.

"This is truly the most realistic clone method I've ever seen, even though my horizons aren't very broad."

Looking at Sally's disappearing figure, Zhang Gui commented sincerely.

Poriza smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Yang, the acrobatics are over.

It's time we got down to business.

First of all, I suggest that since you plan to engage in ocean trade for a long time, you should register a company in Civilization Pioneer City.

Compared to the old-style shops, the biggest feature of the company system is the clear responsibilities and powers..."

"Ms. Rizal, thousands of years ago, the politicians and wise men of Dongsheng Island had already explained the meaning of a company.

The statement in "Da Shi Shen Bi Tong" is, "Gong" means the wealth of several people; Si means operation."

Zhuang Zhou, the Duke of Xiaoyao, pointed out that "Gong" means the wealth of several people, and Si means operation. Accumulating disadvantages to become great, combining small things to become big, and merging them into the way of public is called a company."

So I am very willing to adopt a new form of organization to engage in trade.

Oh, and I also brought some specialty products. After all, being just a middleman isn’t my style.”

As he spoke, Zhang Gui picked up his handbag and took out boxes of Jingliang Pills, Liangfu Pills, and Chunfu Pills.

"Jingliang Pills are made by purifying grains using our mysterious Eastern alchemy techniques.

It is high-quality and inexpensive food specially prepared for extraordinary people.

Eating one pill is equivalent to eating 30 kilograms of staple food.

Then there are Liangfu Wan, a higher grade...

That's equivalent to consuming thirty kilograms of grain and thirty kilograms of meat...

The last treasure pure dried meatballs...

It must be made with top-grade lean meat, and one pill can equal a hundred pounds of meat...

I know you have similar 'noble marching food' in the West.

The effect is similar to or even better than these three kinds of pills.

But the production process and cost are very high, at least in the Luanya Islands, it is industrially produced in large quantities..."

Ever since Zhang Gui took out the Jingliang Pills, Liangfu Pills, and Chunfu Pills, Porrisa hadn't said a word.

After listening to him talk on and on for so long, I finally asked the most important question.
"Mr. Yang, any professional's daily necessities are always in high demand and will never have trouble selling.

So there is no need for me to give you a long introduction to the wonderful benefits of the pills. I already know its value.

The key is pricing.”

“In my hometown, there is a prosperous ancient town from the Ming and Song dynasties.

The retail price of a fine pill was one tael of silver, or about two eagles;

The Liangfu pills cost three ounces of silver, or six eagle coins;
"A pure dried meatball costs seven ounces of silver, or fourteen eagle dollars, and the supply is in short supply."

“But that also means the price can’t be raised.

Tell me, Yang, what is your shipping price?
You know my temper, don't play tricks on me."

When it came to the key points of the business, Pollis displayed the aggressive aura of a veteran.

She seemed to have completely forgotten the strength of the man in front of her, or perhaps she had always respected strength rather than feared it.

It’s a pity that her opponent is not an ordinary person either.

Zhang Gui crossed his legs and looked back at Perry with sharp eyes.
"Ms. Pollis, I have a new idea. How about we work together?

I used the food pills as a stake in exchange for 49% of Black Lion's shares.

But there needs to be financial oversight and a veto over share expansion.”

"Mr. Yang, you've immediately demonstrated to me that the 'corporate system' was invented by your Eastern sages..."

"I can provide 15,000 pure dried meat pills, 30,000 high-quality dried meat pills, and 60,000 fine-quality pills every month.

You know my temper, don't play tricks.

It's a fixed price. If you agree, we can continue the discussion.

If you disagree, I will never bring this up again."

Zhang Gui decisively responded. He originally thought that whether or not Salisbury agreed to his decision, he would ponder it over for a long time.
But unexpectedly, she didn't delay for even a moment, she stood up and stretched out her hand.
"From today on, the newly established 'Black Lion Trading Agency Company' has officially changed its name to 'Black Lion and Tiger Joint Trading Company'.

Or what other name would you like to be called?"

“The Black Lion and Tiger Joint Trading Company sounds very good, I have no objection.

Also, Ms. Pollis, sometimes your decisiveness is truly impressive.”

Zhang Gui also stood up and shook hands with Perry's slightly rough hand.
