Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

He found that Boss Zhang's warehouse was full of goods.

"Hahaha, Emissary Wang Que, don't you know? The price of mechanical parts in Liyue Harbor has skyrocketed recently. Everyone who comes to Fontaine should naturally bring more back."

Boss Zhang said with a smile.

Wang Que was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

It was his clone who was setting up the mechanical laboratory and purchasing mechanical parts from outside.

Then... the mechanical parts market in Liyue Harbor was forcibly brought up.

After realizing what was happening, Wang Que was speechless.

Liyue’s machinery market is still too small.

His consumption alone can drive up prices, which is obviously unhealthy.

But it doesn’t matter. After he goes back and spreads the mechanical creations, the market will gradually stabilize.

"By the way, Envoy Wang Que, can I discuss something with you?" Boss Zhang suddenly asked in a flattering tone.

Wang Que was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "You go ahead."

He took advantage of other people's boats twice. If it was an ordinary matter, it would be easy to deal with.

Boss Zhang said, "I heard... [Tianheng Xuanzao] is yours?"

Wang Que nodded: "Yes, it's mine."

"Then could you give me some share of elemental grenades? There are too few in stock in your store in Yilongbu, and it's really hard to get them." Boss Zhang had a flattering look on his wealthy face.

Do I have a shop in Yilongbu now?

Wang Que was slightly stunned, then realized that it was probably Wen Shitou's work.

He looked at Boss Zhang again and asked, "Are you going to sell the elemental grenades to Fontaine?"

He subconsciously thought that Boss Zhang was planning to do elemental grenade business.

Hearing Wang Que's words, Boss Zhang quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, if we do business, we won't make any money if we don't have enough volume."

Elemental grenades are all sold directly from the factory (they are sold on [Adventure Selection], but the actual name is the factory name, taking advantage of the tax exemption policy.)

It costs 500 Mora when it leaves the factory.

If he wanted to transport it to Fontaine for sale, the price would definitely double, or even several times higher. However, if the price was too high, the adventurer might not be able to accept it.

Adventurers are the biggest consumers of elemental grenades. If they don't accept them, they may become unsalable.

After all, Fontaine and Inazuma are different.

It's a real war time over there in Inazuma, so if you ship it over there, you won't have to worry about selling it.

In Fontaine, society is basically stable, and the greatest role of elemental grenades is for adventurers to use them during adventures.

As for Fontaine's armaments... they have security agencies, and those machine guns are rattling around, but they are much cheaper than imported elemental grenades.

"I'm going to use it to fight sea monsters."

Boss Zhang's face was filled with excitement. "You might not know this, but a while ago, a merchant ship was carrying elemental grenades. When it was sailing, it encountered a sea monster attack. They used the elemental grenades to blow the monster to death."

"My Lord Rock, you saved an entire shipload of cargo! One hundred elemental grenades only cost fifty thousand Mora. It's totally worth it."

Now, Wang Que understood.

For shipping owners like Boss Zhang, sea beasts are an uncontrollable danger.

Basically, once you encounter it, you will suffer huge losses.

If we hire adventurers who can deal with sea beasts, it will cost too much, after all, the ship will not only make this one trip.

But if you change it to elemental grenades, it will be much simpler.

If you encounter a sea beast, throw a grenade. If you don’t encounter one, the grenade won’t go bad.

It's more economical than hiring adventurers.

The only bad thing is that the production of elemental grenades has not increased yet, so they are difficult to buy.

"Boss Zhang, don't worry about this. When I return to Liyue Harbor, the production of elemental grenades will increase soon and there will be no purchase limit." Wang Que comforted him.

Boss Zhang was delighted: "That's perfect."

If there are enough elemental grenades, these merchant ships can also serve as sea beast hunting ships.

...

On the way back, we didn't encounter any sea beasts. It was smooth sailing and a little faster than the previous time we came.

When Wang Que stepped onto the dock of Yilongbu, it was already October 10th.

Chapter 229 The Achievements of Wen Shitou

Yilongbu·urban area.

There are shops on both sides of the street, and colorful silk lanterns are hung on the pavilions with flying eaves and pointed corners, swaying gently in the breeze.

The bluestone paved road surface was worn shiny by the footsteps of pedestrians. The sounds of cars and horses passing by, the shouts of vendors and the bargaining of customers mixed together into a lively clamor.

Vendors carrying shoulder poles peddle seasonal fresh fruits, filling the air with sweet fragrance; wisps of fragrance waft from the teahouse, and the sound of the storyteller's wake-up stick occasionally penetrates the noise, drawing bursts of cheers.

Rich businessmen in luxurious clothes rub shoulders with dusty travelers, and children holding candied haws are laughing and running through the crowd.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, there was a crowd of people in front of a store.

"Give me ten shield talismans and ten fire elemental grenades."

"Give me twenty magical talismans! Damn shipping company! They actually said my cargo would be polluted and can't go through waterways. Damn it!"

"Everyone, please be kind and give me a calming amulet. My old man is having a seizure..."

"..."

The crowd was crowded, adventurers and civilians gathered together, constantly shouting for the goods they wanted.

Above them, on a huge plaque, were written four large characters: [Adventure Choice].

Yes, this is the branch opened by Wen Shitou in Yilongbu.

Apparently, it’s even busier than the main store in Liyue Harbor.

The second floor of the shop.

"Butler, if this continues, we won't have enough inventory."

A middle-aged man spoke to Wen Shitou, his tone containing a hint of joy and a hint of worry.

He was originally the head of a small guild in Liyue Harbor, but was later poached by Wen Shitou.

He was a little worried at first, but now with the continued popularity of [Adventure Selection] in Yilonbu, he feels like he has a second spring.

"Then what do you want to do?" Wen Shitou flipped through the account book in his hand and asked indifferently.

As more and more branches opened, his aura of a business elite became more and more pronounced.

The middle-aged branch manager of Yilongbu said with a flattering smile: "How about we transfer some goods from the branch over at Qiaoying Village?"

Wen Shitou put down the account book and gave him a sullen look. "Qiaoying Manor opened earlier than Yilongbu. Do you think they still have goods there?"

The middle-aged branch manager immediately revealed a bitter expression: "What should we do? We can't just sit there and do nothing, right?"

Wen Shitou glanced at him and said, "Alright, I've already asked the Cangjian Escort Agency to pick up the goods from Liyue Harbor. Purchases are limited to two days, and the goods will be delivered soon."

In fact, when Wen Shitou spoke, he was not very sure.

Because he didn't know how much inventory [Tianheng Xuanzao] had left.

Originally, he came to Chenyu Valley to open a branch first and then wait for Wang Que to increase production.

As a result, before Wang Que could come back to increase production, the business exploded.

At this point, he could only write to Liyue, hoping that the factory would reserve some goods for him and send them to Chenyu Valley.

The branch manager's eyebrows lit up: "Hey, then you have to assign it to me first."

All the previous loss, worry, and bitterness were fake.

It’s just to order the rations in advance so that the business can be more popular.

Wen Shitou gave him a displeased look and said, "Don't even think about it. There are only two stores in Chenyu Valley. You two can split them equally. As for the subsequent distribution, it will depend on your performance."

The branch manager nodded somewhat dejectedly: "Alright, but do we still have to hold onto those Chamber of Commerce purchase orders?"

"What else? Do you have any goods to give them?" Wen Shitou said unhappily.

As [Adventure Selection] gained popularity in Yilong Port, many chambers of commerce saw business opportunities.

Of course, they were not aiming at elemental grenades, but at talismans.

Even in Liyue, talismans are a rare commodity.

Whether this thing is shipped to Fontainebleau or to Xumi, it is a very good commodity.

These chambers of commerce want to purchase from [Adventure Optimization].

It’s a pity that [Adventure Selection] doesn’t even have enough units to sell.

However, Wen Shitou did not refuse directly, but just delayed.

He also needs to ask Wang Que about this matter.

Just chatting.

A waiter came up hurriedly from downstairs.

Then he said to Wen Shitou breathlessly: "Steward, the boss is here."

The first lesson of Wen Shitou’s recruitment training was to make these guys remember Wang Que’s portrait.

This is also to prevent the boss from being stopped by the waiter.

Now it seems that it is really useful.

...

[Adventure Selection] In front of the Yilongbu branch.

There was a glint of surprise in Wang Que's eyes. He didn't expect that Wen Shitou would open up the situation and do it so well.

Raymondo stood next to Wang Que and was also a little curious.

He learned from Wang Que that Wang Que had some assets in Liyue.

But there is a difference between seeing with your own eyes and hearing.

The two had just walked into the store.

A fellow recognized Wang Que.

He immediately and respectfully invited the two to the quiet backyard, then quickly went upstairs to find Wen Shitou.

Not long after.

Wang Que saw Wen Shitou with an excited look on his face.

"Well done, Stone."

Wang Que was not stingy with his praise.

Wen Shitou became even more excited: "It is because of you, Boss, that I have achieved all these things."

His voice was trembling, as if he was about to cry.

Think about it, at the beginning of this year, he was still a person waiting for a job in the labor market.

Now, the funds flowing through his hands are at least several million a month, if not tens of millions.

There has also been sufficient improvement in social status.

The various chamber of commerce bosses who used to look down on him, now when they see him, they all politely call him "Manager Wen".

Some people even flatter him.

Who made these changes?

Wen Shitou saw clearly that these were all given by Wang Que.
