No matter what, bidding is bidding. Even if there has been a tacit understanding, Luofu can't afford to lie with his eyes open or ask the other party to make mistakes on purpose. So Yukong had to plan to find a leader to lead the merchants in Jinren Lane to reorganize the Chamber of Commerce and help them at least come up with a generally acceptable answer so that the situation will not be too ugly.
However, before anyone could be chosen, Su Chang inexplicably jumped out and plopped herself down in the starring role, even bringing along Gui Naifen, who could barely be considered a merchant in Jinren Lane. This was precisely why Su Chang received full cooperation: the Chamber of Commerce members, who had already received some hints, all thought she was the lead actress sent by Tianbosi...
"It would be inconvenient for the Tianbo Division to personally participate in this matter. Since you are your friend, Xiao Jiang, you can take care of the rest of the matter."
Thinking of this series of coincidences, Yukong looked at Jiang Yan, shook his head helplessly, and turned to leave.
This little guy in front of me always messes things up intentionally or unintentionally. Even if he is locked up in Luofu to reflect on his mistakes, he can still get involved in such things unintentionally. I have to say that this is also a kind of talent...
Forget it, it’s a waste not to use our own son. With his talent, he may even surpass Tingyun in the future.
After finally figuring out all this, Jiang Yan was completely relieved.
Why didn't you tell me earlier that it was just a formality? Not to mention bidding for Jinrenxiang, I would even dare to bid for Jianmu!
The linesman, referee, fourth official, and even the opposing players are my people. I can’t lose this game even if I find Tiao Di Ting!
Jiang Yan then returned to Shang Ziwei with no worries at all and full of confidence.
At this time, Su Shang, Gui Naifen and Bai Lu were gathered together, chatting and eating desserts. They were all stunned when they saw Jiang Yan coming back.
How come it's so fast? Did I forget to bring some information? Or do we need everyone to come together to explain the situation?
However, Jiang Yan said happily, "It's done. I've taken care of all the relationships. Su Shang and Xiao Guizi, you two can go ahead and show your skills without any worries!"
Of course, Jiang Yan would not tell the three girls about these disappointing underwater undercurrents. As a leader, it was enough for him to stand up without hesitation and cheer people up.
"All done? What does that mean?" Gui Naifen really couldn't connect the time it takes to eat a meal with "all done".
"What did the Sky Control Commander say?"
"Lord Yukong will fully support you in reviving Jinren Lane. Of course, he won't show favoritism when bidding."
"Where are the members of the Chamber of Commerce?" Su Shang asked.
"Most of the Chamber of Commerce members will support you, don't worry."
Jiang Yan patted his chest and promised. Tianbosi was in charge of all commercial activities. With the hint from Tianbosi, how many people would stubbornly oppose Su Shang, the "leading actor"?
However, faced with this miraculous progress, Su Shang and Gui Naifen, who witnessed the power of the "Interstellar Succubus" for the first time, could not stop themselves from daydreaming.
After a strange exchange of glances, Gui Naifen stammered and said:
"It's okay for a member of the Chamber of Commerce, but Master Yukong is an elder..."
"???"
PS: Thank you all for your support since the launch. Let’s work hard together in the new January!
Oops, we're being harassed by the Immortal Boat people! : Chapter 63: Dilemma
Although it was confirmed that this bidding was a win-win situation, Jiang Yan, who had come to the elders' door to do the work, also lost the opportunity to completely lie down and take sides with Tianbosi. He had no choice but to honestly serve as the military advisor to Su Shang and Xiao Guizi.
Jiang Yan himself had no objection, however. He felt it was his duty to share Yukong's worries, having been taken care of for so many years. Not to mention Su Chang's face, which was like, "The Jin people are unsalable, please help us!" How could anyone bear to see such a bitter face at such a young age?
Not only he couldn't bear it, the rest of the friends couldn't bear it either. Before Su Chang could even open her mouth to complain, they were all dragged into the "Jinren Lane Revival Group" without any resistance and rushed to the dock in a mighty manner.
After some research, Jiang Yan realized that he had imagined things to be too simple.
The current problem is not that the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce is hopeless, but that the entire Jinren Lane is on its last legs!
Luofu is essentially a massive space battleship. Periodically, it will journey to war zones, pursuing the people of abundance in a series of battles. After a war, it will anchor in a safe area for decades, licking its wounds by establishing trade routes and supplying goods. Only after the population and war preparedness have recovered will it set sail again and embark on the next round of expeditions.
It was the rest period after the Third War of Plenty, and countless foreign merchants had flocked to Luofu in search of business opportunities. Every day, astronomical profits and opportunities flowed through Liuyun Ferry, naturally attracting both immortal boat dwellers and foreigners alike to that area. Who would care about Jinren Lane, a small dock that couldn't accommodate interstellar cargo ships? Besides the truly idle, who would come here specifically for a meal?
With its popularity drained away, Jinren Lane was caught in a dilemma:
Without expansion, the night market alone would be far less attractive. If the wharf were expanded, the cave's size would be difficult to increase, forcing all the shops to relocate. Even if they didn't, the constant barrage of freight ships would eventually wipe out the night market. Furthermore, everyone would eventually have to sail back to their homes, hunting for the rich. Who would want to destroy Luofu's most famous night market just to deal with temporary logistical pressures?
Hesitation will lead to failure, and the result of being unable to make a decision is that the popularity of Jinren Lane is getting worse and worse. Seeing that the operating contract of the business district is about to expire, even without the participation of the Interstellar Peace Company, as long as the merchants refuse to renew the contract and choose to withdraw collectively, it can be declared that the Jinren Lane Night Market has completely become history.
After listening to the detailed explanation of the inside story by Miss Mingxi, the secretary of the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce, not only Su Shang and the others were filled with worry, but even Jiang Yan was dumbfounded.
Stewardess Yu, you cheated me!
He finally understood why Yukong asked him to "take care of it" without saying anything.
For this kind of pitfall, even if Tianbosi can help to bias the bidding, it cannot force all shop owners to sign the contract renewal.
Luofu was rife with cave-like, folded-out spaces. The land itself was worthless, and if the land couldn't be sold, even rent-free, how attractive would it be? If the bidding process was successful and the streets were immediately flooded with "Wanted Shops for Rent," the entire Tianbo Division would become a laughingstock.
Seeing that his honest words were about to scare the helpers away, Mingxi quickly added:
"However, fortunately, thanks to your active efforts recently, Miss Gui Naifen, the situation of many businesses has improved..."
It must be said that the biggest advantage of being thick-skinned is an optimistic attitude. Just such a comforting word made Su Shang's face instantly turn cloudy and sunny, and she said happily:
"Right, what's that saying? Good food needs no bush. As long as there are enough people eating and shopping, what does a small pier matter? Luofu has no shortage of small piers. But without the Jinren Lane Night Market that I've been thinking about since I was in Yaoqing, who will fill the gap in delicious food for me? Little Guizi, the revival of Jinren Lane depends entirely on you!"
How could Gui Naifen, who had been using Su Shang for years, be fooled by such superficial flattery? Seeing Su Shang's expression of "It's you, little Guizi", she simply passed the baton to Jiang Yan:
"Shang Shang, you think too highly of me. I'm just a food blogger. Even if I work every day, I can only record 30 restaurants a month. It's definitely no problem to add some fuel to the fire, but to save Jinren Lane, it has to be our magical Xiao Jiang, don't you agree, Xiao Jiang?"
"Wait, don't we eat three meals a day?"
Su Shang said that although she was not good at math, she still remembered how many meals she had eaten a day, so don't lie to me.
"Then you write the script for me, read the lines, interact with the fans, discuss cooperation, and then exercise for an hour after eating to avoid gaining weight?" Gui Naifen said resentfully.
The viewers in the live broadcast room just know how to urge him, but food broadcasters are not hard-working anchors, so how can they be as crazy as before?
The live broadcast of the Henhuo anchor couldn't be simpler. He just had to start the live broadcast and show his Henhuo to Yu Zhao one by one.
But a one-hour live broadcast of eating requires at least half a day to prepare, otherwise how can the content be watched?
Not only the fans, but even my best friend doesn't understand my hard work? I have to pinch her silly face!
"Wo... slap... le!" Su Chang, whose dimples were pinched, finally managed to free herself from her bestie's grip. She immediately acted calm and looked at her other amazing friend with anticipation. After witnessing how she had managed to take on the Tianbo Division and the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce in a single meal, Su Chang had long been convinced that her friend probably had hidden fox ears and a tail, the kind that no one could resist once revealed.
However, at this moment, Jiang Yan seemed to be thinking about something, muttering to himself:
"Anchor...selling goods...fans..."
Then he suddenly became excited:
"Right! To revive Golden Man Lane, eating live broadcasts won't do. We need an idol!"
Hearing this, Gui Naifen shook her head repeatedly:
"Idol? If I can sing and dance, why would I need to rely on performing to make a living?"
Born into a knight family, she spent the time other ladies would spend wearing dancing shoes on wearing a power mecha. Later, she was stranded on an alien planet and struggled to survive. She had no time to learn those flashy things. Who would have thought that she would make a living by performing talent shows when she grew up?
However, Jiang Yan paid no attention to Gui Naifen's words. Instead, he turned his gaze to a small figure who had been secretly eating snacks in the back.
"It seems that in order to revive Jinren Lane, we have no choice but to make you, Bailu, an idol!"
"Hmm? Uhhhhhhhhhhh...Wow, Jiang Xiao, you almost killed me, did you know that?"
Suddenly hearing something incredible, Bai Lu almost choked on her snacks. She quickly took a few gulps of the drink and coughed a few times to avoid the tragedy of being choked to death by her friend's shock.
Idol? Me?
Bai Lu, who had been locked up at home for many years, often spent her time watching fox-man magic shows.
Which true idol doesn’t have long arms and legs, and big features all over the body?
How could there be an idol like me who never grows up? Xiao Jiang, you bad guy, are you making fun of me again?
Thinking of this, Bai Lu immediately bared his little dragon fangs and shook his tail like a meteor hammer. If Jiang Yan didn't say anything, he would have been hit by a set of Dragon Lord's secret physical skills.
However, soon, several other friends all had expressions of sudden enlightenment, and their eyes quickly emitted the same light as Jiang Yan's:
"That's right! Bailu, you can do much better than Xiaoguizi! You can definitely save Jinren Lane!"
"Xiao Jiang, you're such a genius. Don't worry, I'll take care of the script and the creative ideas!"
"If Lord Longzun says so, there will be no problem!"
All the incomprehensible words and strange but obviously subtle looks drove Bai Lu completely crazy. She jumped up and lashed Jiang Yan's waist with her tail. Then, like a koala, she climbed on Jiang Yan's head and started pulling out weeds:
"Hurry up and tell me! What's going on~! If you don't explain clearly, don't expect me to let you off!"
Oops, I'm being pestered by the Xianzhou people! : Chapter 64 Re-employment
What is an idol? A big star with long legs who can sing and dance?
No! Anyone who is willing to watch is an idol. You could even say that only those who are willing to watch are idols!
And in the entire Luofu, and even the entire Xianzhou Alliance, who in recent times has been more capable of attracting traffic than this little guy in front of him? Is he more suitable to be an idol?
One of the powerful Five Dragon Kings, it is now in a juvenile state with small arms and legs. It can be fed and petted. What a beautiful contrast!
He has been questioned since his birth and abused and suppressed by the dragon masters. How miserable!
Under such circumstances, he still successfully repaired the seal and proved himself. He is even a famous doctor. How powerful!
In addition, with the recent misunderstanding about the "magic method of transforming into a dragon", countless members of the Chiming clan feel extremely guilty, and other people in the Xianzhou are extremely curious. Wouldn't it be a waste of resources to become a food broadcaster?
Transform Jinren Lane into Disney... No, Bailu Paradise is the only one that deserves the huge amount of traffic!
After being enlightened by Jiang Yan, everyone seemed to have opened the door to a new world. They soon began to discuss the beautiful scene of the Jinren Lane, no, Bailu Lane theme night market:
"As soon as you enter the cave, you must see a statue of Bai Lu that is over ten meters tall!"
“Every restaurant must offer a White Dew themed meal!”
"Every store should have a White Dew themed poster posted at the entrance!"
Bai Lu heard them talking more and more outrageously, and quickly interrupted them:
"Wait, wait! This sounds weird. What do you bad guys think of me? Even if you're not controlling me so strictly now, if the people and elders from the Dan Ding Division find out, they'll definitely blame me for not respecting my status!"
Seeing that Bai Lu didn't take the bait, the other two friends... well, the two friends weren't in a hurry. After exchanging glances, Gui Naifen exaggeratedly sighed:
"Indeed, Bai Lu is no longer just an ordinary healer, but the Lord Long Zun that we need to look up to."
How could the innocent Bai Lu accept such a statement? She quickly shook her head like a rattle, her tail swishing back and forth in denial:
"No, no! I'm still myself, just the same as before!"
However, Gui Naifen insisted on her own opinion:
"That won't do! Bailu, although you are still our good friend Bailu, how can you be the spokesperson for Lord Longzun like an ordinary healer?"
"If you are willing to endorse Jinren Lane, I believe all the businesses and stores there will be free forever for Bailu. You can eat whatever you want and as much as you want."
Hiss...the sound of the uncontrollable saliva of the Chi Ming.
At this moment, Jiang Yan accurately put the last straw on the camel's back:
"Not only that, Bailu, although you may be approachable, you can't take Lord Longzun's reputation lightly. As the spokesperson, Bailu, you must personally supervise them to produce toys, meal sets, and amusement facilities that suit your preferences. If their imagination is lacking, you will have to personally guide them to design new things. It's a huge responsibility! Bailu, you are so busy at Danding Division. If you really don't have time, forget it."
When Bai Lu heard that not only was it free, but she could also command a large number of people to design exclusive toys and food for her, her already shaky identity and dignity were instantly shattered.
Being a Dragon Lord is such a good thing? Oh my god! From today on, I am the Moon Drinking Lord Bailu! I wouldn't trade it for a general!
"Yes, yes, yes, yes! Who said I don't have one? Where is the endorsement? Let's go now!"
"Bai Lu, you agree? That's great!" It was only then that Su Shang caught up with everyone's pace.
Although she didn't quite understand why Bai Lu's attitude suddenly changed, it didn't stop her from cheering. She hugged Bai Lu and started rubbing her elastic cheeks.
No matter how hard you rub it, it always bounces back. Is this the power of immortality? It's so addictive!
"Let me go! I agree to everything!"
Soon, the preparatory meeting and celebration ceremony for the Bailu Lane theme night market was officially opened at Aunt Gao's snack stall. Yanqing, who was off duty at the Yunqi Army, and Qingni, who was off work at the Tianbo Division, were called over and had fun together.
After hearing that Lord Long Zun decided to become an idol in order to save the Jinren Lane that was about to be abandoned, Jiang Yan's two equally warm-hearted friends immediately patted their chests to express their full support.
Lord Long Zun debuted as an idol? This is too exciting!
You know, almost all the Chiming people in the Xianzhou are fans of the Dragon Lords. If Luo Fu suddenly shows off a powerful version of the young female Dragon Lord, won’t the Bailu Lane be crowded?
Soon, a group of little heads gathered together and arranged a colorful program for Bai Lu:
An autographed photo? A must!
Photobook! Arrangement!
A hit song, yes!
Promotional video, the fox people who are doing illusions are not satisfied with the whole place?
