In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

Upon arriving in the town, Li Yuan immediately headed towards the border control office.

That treasure-hunting area is called Yanling Town.

Yanling Town is now managed by a large commercial group.

This business group is responsible for all aspects, including security.

To enter Yanling Town, one must first obtain the necessary qualifications.

More than 30 years ago, the jurisdiction of Yanling Town was still the responsibility of the state.

To protect that enclave, a team of martial artists was stationed there to guard it.

At that time, commercial reforms were also carried out.

But income couldn't cover expenses, resulting in losses, huge losses.

They were reluctant to give up this enclave.

However, after it was transferred to a commercial group for management, it actually started to make a profit in less than two years.

It can only be said that, in many situations, communal cooking is really not a good fit.

The people working there don't consider the overall interests at all.

All they see are the benefits they can reap and how much they can earn.

The Xia Kingdom is currently undertaking similar reforms.

Some projects with lingering problems and that have been unable to generate profits for a long time are handed over for commercial operation.

To prevent some people from deliberately making projects poorly, and to force high-quality projects to switch to commercial operation.

For each of these types of projects that is successfully completed, the responsible person must be held accountable.

Furthermore, the relevant responsible persons and their immediate family members are not allowed to have contact with the project.

Unless there are special circumstances, the business company taking over should be from another province to avoid corruption within the province.

This information was all incidental information obtained while searching online.

Even now, Yanling Town still generates considerable profits every year.

This company can recoup most of its costs simply by charging a qualification fee.

People like Li Yuan come here alone for training and personal treasure hunting.

The qualification fee required is the lowest.

Of course, the qualifications for the training are also divided into three levels.

The higher the level, the more money you need to pay.

The higher the level of training qualification, the more areas you can enter.

In addition to personal training, there are also tasks such as gathering herbs and obtaining the corpses of ferocious beasts.

These two types of commercial activities require even higher qualification fees.

Of course, people and companies doing this kind of business have already calculated the costs.

The border control office is spacious; it's a six-story building.

The services handled on each floor are different.

The higher up you go, the more privacy you get.

For example, corporate clients usually go to the third floor or above to conduct their business.

These corporate clients have bigger business deals to discuss and require privacy.

For individual clients, most of the business is located on the first floor.

Li Yuan quickly entered the service hall.

I picked up a queue ticket on the first floor and started waiting to be served.

There were quite a few people waiting around, with seven or eight people waiting at each window.

Surprisingly, Yanling Town, a place for treasure hunting, attracts quite a few visitors.

But it seems that many of those who come to handle matters are not martial artists.

In the past, most people who came to Yanling Town were there to do business.

While waiting, Li Yuan's gaze fell on the counter.

Most of the staff members handling the affairs were not very nice.

They all had long faces, their expressions were rather unpleasant, as if they were giving someone the cold shoulder.

"They act like they're something special just because they're doing something."

The guy sitting next to Li Yuan couldn't help but complain as well.

Isn't it now operating as a commercial operation?

Are employees of a commercial company really this rude?

Aren't you afraid of having your performance bonus deducted or your salary reduced?

Li Yuan followed up on the man's complaints and asked a question.

This guy was a talkative person. Seeing Li Yuan respond, he started chatting with Li Yuan as well.

"I heard that these office workers are paid very low wages."

Working in border areas, look at us who came to Yanling Town, each of us earns at least three to five hundred thousand yuan a year.

This comparison is bound to make people feel unbalanced.

Hearing his brother's words, Li Yuan nodded.

"It's true that working in a border area doesn't pay very well, and company management can't be very strict."

"If you tighten the rules too much, people will immediately resign."

In this day and age, there is certainly no shortage of people.

But your job is so bad that it will be difficult to find someone to fill it.

If you don't pay people enough, the people you hire will either lack ability or be unwilling to use their abilities.

The two chatted for a while, and it turned out that this guy actually had some martial arts skills.

He is a martial artist at the third rank of martial arts; with such low martial arts skills, he certainly wouldn't be able to make a living.

Therefore, his main job is to do business in Yanling Town.

He was a third-rank martial artist and had some strength, which made it easy for him to drag the corpses when buying and selling ferocious beasts.

Sell ​​these items to institutions or private anatomists.

Of course, they earn their money through hard work, and their income is not as high as one might imagine.

Most of the profits actually go to institutions and private anatomists.

To make more money, you generally need to exploit information asymmetry.

If there's no information gap, then it has to be something you can do that others can't.

If these can be achieved, there will be no problem.

After waiting for nearly an hour and a half, it was finally Li Yuan's turn.

At this moment, seven more people lined up behind Li Yuan.

There are so many people here doing business.

Li Yuan stepped forward to complete the registration process for entering Yanling Town.

The form has been filled out, and Li Yuan has selected the Level 3 Exploration Qualification.

Obtaining this qualification allows you to explore the deepest part of Yanling Town.

The aunties who were handling the business still had long faces.

She looked at the form Li Yuan filled out, and then typed it into the computer.

There was also a monitor in front of Li Yuan, showing him what the woman had typed.

When she saw the exploration qualification section, she realized that she had clearly filled in level three, but she had entered level one.

"Excuse me, I applied for Level 3 exploration qualification."

"First-time visitors are automatically granted Level 1 status."

"If you apply for qualifications haphazardly, and then encounter danger after entering, it will cause trouble for the rescue team."

The somewhat overweight auntie spoke with a hint of disdain.

As a staff member, she ended up making decisions for those who came to handle their affairs.

In fact, there is no rule that first-time visitors automatically receive Level 1 status.

It's because it's the most convenient for her to apply for Level 1 qualification.

Even with the Level 3 qualification, she wouldn't get more commission, and the process would be more complicated and troublesome.

For first-time visitors, a rule was set immediately.

Seeing her like this, Li Yuan immediately took out the card.

The special card Xia Zhao gave herself.

The auntie handling the transaction was clearly taken aback when she saw the card.

Coming to her senses, she turned her head and quietly notified security.

A moment later, two security guards stood behind Li Yuan.

"You stole that flashy gold black card, didn't you?"

Seeing the security guards in place, the woman handling the matter immediately became arrogant and looked at Li Yuan with an interrogative attitude.

They directly charged Li Yuan with theft.

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in a blue suit ran over quickly.

As soon as he arrived, he glared at the clerk, then turned back to look at Li Yuan.

"Sir, we need to verify your dazzling gold black card."

Additionally, I will call the original owner to confirm.

Seeing that Li Yuan didn't react, the man's heart skipped a beat.
