spooky invasion

The shopkeeper was obviously very tired of running this store. The harassment and extortion from various yamen every day made him no longer interested in running the store.

The Xuanyi Inspection Brigade alone cost him three thousand dollars, which was almost his income for more than half a month.There were many yamen that had already knocked away a lot of people from him before.Everyone knows that his tavern has no backstage and the people are stupid and have a lot of money.

In the past few days alone, he had spent almost seven or eight thousand silver coins.That's more than a month's profit.At this pace, let alone making money, the capital is not enough.

Once you get into business and stick to your laurels, the sooner you close down the business, the better. Stop the losses in time and don't let the holes widen again.

Therefore, when he cashed out the store, it was really not a whim, but he really didn't have the heart to continue doing it.

At his age, he does not have the ability or energy to maintain relationships with various yamen, and dealing with these is not what he is good at at his age.

Exhausted mentally and physically, Duidian was his best choice.Especially the middleman who tried to lower the price made him even more annoyed.

Now that Jiang Yue was so happy, he didn't even pay a penny for the exchange fee, and even gave him an idea to sell the secret recipe. Of course he knew that in this way, his secret recipe could sell at least 20 yuan.This money is used for retirement, which is enough for him to live a wealthy and healthy retirement life.

He himself is not a slick person. Jiang Yue is polite, so he will not be ungrateful.You are good and I am good, good things come and go, but Jiang Yuebai got a big advantage.

The right to use the secret recipe was sold for [-] yuan, but it only cost [-] yuan.

That's not all, the old shopkeeper said again: "The backyard of my tavern is a winery, and the wine storage can last at least half a month to 20 days. You have a secret recipe, and the wine can continue to be brewed. There are also three or four ingredients in the warehouse. The bartenders, chefs, and waiters in the store are all old people who have been with me for many years. Their livelihood is in this bar. If you don't mind, let them all follow you. Don't worry. , I know them very well and know that they are all honest people. If you treat them well, they will be willing to give you their heart. They will never cause trouble for you. "

Jiang Yue was not as concerned about this issue as Ah Piao.After all, Ah Piao feels that he is the one who wants to be the shopkeeper, and he has the final say whether the people in this tavern are useful or not.

But he is a smart man, and since we are talking now, he cannot say anything disappointing.Don't say the wrong thing and mess up the transaction, which will be embarrassing.The position of shopkeeper has not yet been obtained, and the store has not yet cashed in, so we must not get carried away.

Because Jiang Yue's proposal to sell the secret recipe created a way for the old shopkeeper to make money, the atmosphere between the two parties became very pleasant.

The old shopkeeper said he could give him ten days and a half to raise money.

Jiang Yue said: "He can get the money within three days. This is still a conservative estimate. If you are optimistic, you can hand over the money and the store tomorrow morning. Then you only need to make one delivery."

"Haha, it seems that the people behind the little brother have a lot of energy and amazing financial resources. That's good. If they have a lot of energy and can have good relations with those yamen, the profitability of this store will be no problem. If it weren't for my bad skills After dealing with all this, I really don’t want to give up this store.”

There was some reluctance in the old shopkeeper's tone.

It's normal not to let go of that. Having opened the tavern for so long, it's like being your own child.How many people are willing to give their children to others?
Jiang Yue took a closer look and got a rough understanding of the tavern's labor expenses, daily material costs, purchase cycle, daily turnover, and profitability.

He actually doesn't care whether he makes money or not, but as a cashier, if he doesn't care about these things, it would be too abrupt, and it would easily arouse suspicion.

The more serious he appears and the more detailed his understanding, the more sincere and reasonable he appears to be.

Finally, the two parties decided that Jiang Yue would bring cash to the transaction in the next two days, and the two parties would conduct on-site delivery at that time.Of course, we will definitely be closed for the day tomorrow.

No matter how efficient we are, we still have to close down for one day to complete the delivery and rectification. One day is already the limit.It is impossible to connect seamlessly and stay open all day.

After leaving the tavern, Ah Piao still felt like he was in a dream.However, when he faced Jiang Yue now, he respected him even more.

Although he is a mushroom person, he has great energy.A business worth [-] silver coins can be finalized directly without even asking for instructions.

This shows that mushroom people are very favored and trusted by their employers.On the other hand, we also face the fact that the employer behind the person may be really awesome and should not be a gangster.

How can the chaotic party have such financial resources?How could the rebels have the courage to openly open a tavern in Titan City-State?

The most important thing is that this mushroom man brother will decide his fate. Whether he can become the shopkeeper or not, it depends on the situation.

Jiang Yue naturally saw Ah Piao's unabashed ambition, and he laughed and said: "A Piao, I will keep the position of shopkeeper. However, you must also prove that you have the ability. Our first business It’s not over yet, don’t eat what’s in the bowl and think about what’s in the pot.”

Ah Piao listened obediently and said hurriedly: "Does that mean that after I have completed the first business, the position of the shopkeeper will be given to me?"

"That's natural, so come on, boy."

Ah Piao didn't care about the small details of this title and said excitedly: "I will research the information carefully and provide valuable information to prove to you that the position of shopkeeper belongs to me!"

……

Jiang Yue had plenty of money in his pocket.The tens of millions of auction proceeds from the Demonic Flower Clan are still in his hands.However, Jiang Yue would not pay for the money to open the store himself.

With Mr. Duo as his financial backer, Jiang Yue would not pay for it easily.

Mr. Duo may not be able to afford hundreds of thousands, but the amount within [-] does not put much pressure on Mr. Duo.Moreover, this tavern has a good cash flow. In addition to the scary initial expenses, there is a net profit every day.

From an investment perspective, this is definitely a good investment.

What's more, if you want to gather information, what better place than a tavern?Opening your own pub is perfect.

Jiang Yue naturally had the information to convince Mr. Duo to pay for this kind of investment.Even if Mr. Duo didn't want to spend the money, Jiang Yue would save the country and find another way to get this tavern.

It's not like he has no money. In terms of wealth, Jiang Yue is now one of the best in this Titan city-state, but this money cannot be exposed for the time being.Especially since he is a mushroom man, if it is not particularly necessary, there is really no need to expose this financial resources for the time being.

Sure enough, Jiang Yue visited Master Duo overnight and informed Master Duo of the plan. Master Duo really didn't hesitate at all.

"Okay, Zu Yao, if you do this well, the investment in this tavern will be worth it. I still have 10,000+ silver coins here. You can take them all." "Master Duo, it only takes [-], and at most [-] more will be used as starting capital." There is also a batch of drinks and ingredients in the tavern, which are all ready-made. There is no need for much expenditure for a few days. Manual payment of wages will also be done in more than ten days. There are a total of twelve employees in the tavern, and their monthly salary The expenditure is about one thousand silver coins. Among them, the chef, winemaker and bartender have the highest salary, and the average salary of other clerks is only thirty or fifty silver coins..."

Jiang Yue understood everything in detail, and he was naturally comfortable when reporting to Master Duo.

Master Duo listened very carefully and knew that Jiang Yue had put all his effort into it, so he was naturally very pleased.

"Okay, okay, let's do it with all our strength. This tavern must be a wedge, drive hard into the Titan city-state, and become our long-term eyes and ears." The more Mr. Duo thought about it, the more excited he became. He felt that establishing such a stronghold would be beneficial in the long run. It is said that it is also very beneficial to the Baoshu tribe.

The more Mr. Duo saw Jiang Yue, the mushroom man, the more he admired him.Being able to do things so well can always give unexpected surprises, which is definitely a huge surprise.Even the original A-Qian couldn't make it this far.At least in terms of opening up the situation, Ah Qian is far inferior to this mushroom man Zu Yao.

Master Duo is very proud. Although he only has 10,000+ silver coins now, he has no doubts about his employment.He directly transferred [-] silver coins to Jiang Yue.

[-] yuan will be used as a store fee, and the other [-] yuan will be used as a reserve fund in case of emergencies.

"Zu Yao, this tavern must be run carefully. Whether it makes money or not is secondary. It must be maintained well and make good use of its eyes and ears. Even if it doesn't make any money, even a little money a month, it's still worth it."

"Master Duo, only by making money can the functions of eyeliner and ears be brought into full play. If there is no business, or the business is bleak, this function will be meaningless. According to me, making money must be taken into account at the same time. The flow of people determines the business, and also determines the tavern. Can the function of the ear, eye and eyeliner be maximized?”

Duoye's eyes were full of admiration: "It seems that you have really put in the effort and considered it very carefully. You are right, the business must be good, and the flow of people must be large. Haha, this is going to test your business ability."

"This is actually not difficult. The previous shopkeeper's business was good. We just need to follow his model and make some innovations ourselves. As long as we have a good relationship with the yamen, maybe we can make good use of these official relationships. It’s not necessarily possible to get more information.”

When it comes to where the most information is, it’s definitely not the private sector, but the government.

Once the funds are obtained, the next step will be easy.However, considering that he had to go to the Abyss Tribe to receive the task in the morning, Jiang Yue naturally couldn't go to the tavern to conduct transactions first.

He planned to take time to go there in the afternoon or evening.The missions of the Abyssal Clan must be carried out first. This is his basic plan in the Titan City-State.

If the Abyss tribe and the guild are offended, their living space will become very narrow and their road will be exhausted.

Holding the Abyss Tribe's token, Jiang Yue did not encounter any difficulties when he returned to the Wanxiang Inn and entered the lobby easily.

Ah Piao was off during the day today, so he didn't see Ah Piao.Soon Jiang Yue saw the people from the Abyss tribe.But he is one of Mr. Ming's subordinates.

He handed Jiang Yue a list of the supplies and materials that the Abyss Tribe needed to purchase, and even gave them money first.

"Remember, this is money to buy supplies. You must keep it safe. If it is stolen or robbed, you must pay for it yourself." The Abyss clan member also specifically warned.

Jiang Yue smiled and said: "We are running errands for the Abyss Clan. Although the Titan City-State has hidden dragons and crouching tigers, the thieves who dare to offend the Abyss Clan are not born yet, right?"

"Hmph, that's what I say, but there are always some blind thieves. You don't have the words Abyss Clan etched on your faces."

Although this man's tone was serious, Jiang Yue's indiscernible flattery was still very useful to him.

Therefore, he thought about it and gave another warning: "Now that the Titan City-state is a mixed bag, if something happens, remember the other party's appearance and know the origin of the other party. The Abyssal Clan will naturally come forward after the incident."

This is advice.

It’s also because their mushroom people don’t have the ability to be tough with others.In fact, it also hints to them that they should know how to give up money rather than life at critical moments.The Abyssal Tribe will naturally come forward when the time comes, and you don’t have to fight all your own.You don’t have the ability to fight hard either.

Jiang Yue was obedient: "Thank you for the advice, big boss. I'm just taking the liberty to ask you, what do you call the big boss?"

"Haha, I'm not a big boss, I'm Mr. Ming's deputy. You can call me Mr. Fan."

"Hello Master Fan, I will definitely remember Master Fan's instructions and do this job well."

"Go ahead, be smart, visit more stores, and do some comparison shopping. When we, the Abyss clan, handle goods, we must first pass the quality standard, and we are not allowed to shoddy goods."

It was rare that Mr. Fan was in a good mood, so he talked to Jiang Yue a few more words.

Jiang Yue accepted the task and went out happily.

The things on the list are not ordinary living materials. Most of them are medicinal materials, and they are elixirs, and there are many kinds.This is quite troublesome to do.Jiang Yue originally thought that it could be done in one or two hours, but now it seems that it may be difficult to complete it without three or four hours.

No wonder the Abyss tribe chooses pure creatures. If the elixir is purchased from mad creatures, their bloodline will be too strong and their blood energy will be too active, which will easily conflict with the medicinal properties of the elixir.This point is completely absent from the pure creatures, and will hardly cause any conflict with the medicinal properties of the elixir. The pure creatures can even keep the medicinal properties of the elixir as much as possible, and will not lose it too quickly.

Don't underestimate this feature, to a large extent, it is very popular.

Why Master Hu's pharmacists were all pure beings in the past, and why mushroom people are so popular, is because of this characteristic.

Crazy bloodline will conflict with elixir to some extent.

Jiang Yue met Jiang Qiao and Sangou who were waiting outside the door, and the three of them started their first mission in Titan City State, which was to scan goods in major elixir shops.

This kind of shopping is also very particular. If only three mushroom people go to scan the goods, they will suffer a loss in terms of status.Therefore, they must keep the Abyss clan's card on their lips and have a good aura.

Not to mention, the words "Abyssal Clan" are still very intimidating. Even though they are just three humble mushroom people, but they have the Abyssal Clan's signboard, their gold content is very different.Those guys who didn't look at them immediately became extremely polite.
