Chapter 293: Inside the Child Star City
"Ning Gongzi, after running around all night, I think everyone is very tired. Now that you have arrived in Child Star City, you should take a good rest and walk around. Chen Dun got out of the carriage, threw the blanket on his body to the guards on the side, and then smiled at Li Ning and the others.
"What? Didn't the spaceship start immediately?" Li Ning was a little surprised, after all, the envoy had been in a hurry and very urgent when he was on the road, but now after arriving, he relaxed.
"Of course not, there is a fixed time for each start and landing, and at about twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the ship will ascend into the sky. Therefore, a few people can take a walk around the child star city, take a walk, and take a break. Chen Dun waved his right hand and explained.
Spaceships consume a lot of resources, so not to mention ordinary people, even some wealthy people in some families, they can't afford to spend it at all, unless they encounter something particularly important.
Therefore, there are naturally very few people who can get on the boat, so you have to wait. According to the fixed time, there will be a shift at 12 o'clock at noon and a class at 6 o'clock in the evening.
There is only a maximum of two trips a day.
You must know that a spaceship needs to cost hundreds of warriors, not to mention others, such as some more powerful guards.
Waiters, cleaners, cooks, maintenance personnel, etc., etc., it can be said that only one-tenth of the people on a spaceship are actually on board, and the remaining nine-tenths are all employees on the spaceship.
This back and forth, according to the distance of the road, if Li Ning's current value, can be done almost twice. After that, you will have no money at all and become poor.
Therefore, spaceships have always been a high-end tool that only wealthy nobles and some privileged officials can ride. The only person who can fly at any time is the current diva.
"Understood, it just so happens that our boxing gang has a branch in Child Star City, you can go and check it out. Li Ning nodded after listening to the explanation.
"Okay, let's not continue to accompany everyone, let's gather at the entrance of the spaceship at twelve o'clock at noon, I hope the three of you will not be late, otherwise the spaceship will not wait for anyone." Chen Dun seemed to have something else to do, and after reminding him, he hurried to the other side of the street.
Li Ning looked at his departing back, retracted his gaze, looked at Chu He and Su Xue beside him, and said, "It's only nine o'clock in the morning, and there are still several hours before twelve o'clock in the afternoon, so we can take a look around." ”
Before that, of course, go and see the branches.
The development of Shuntuan has always relied on the population at the bottom, so when Yanyang City could not meet its needs, some members were arranged to go to other cities near Yanyang City to create a branch.
The existence of the branch, sending things is secondary, and the really useful place is to collect information and intelligence. To put it bluntly, it's here to open up your connections.
This move was actually because Li Ning felt that it was very likely to fail against Chu Tianxiang at that time, so he prepared it in advance.
Who knows, the other party is really timid, and he didn't fight, and after seeing the betrayal of the people around him, he slipped away with his family directly with his tail between his legs.
Where it is now, it is unknown.
"I've been to Child Star City a few times before, and since it's your first time, I can take you to some fun places. "Although Chu He has an indifferent personality now, he is just an outsider, and he is still quite enthusiastic about his own people.
"I heard that because of the gimmick of the spaceship, many merchants will come here to trade, so the commerce here is more developed than Yanyang City, especially the auction industry, it is said that even warrior servants can buy it. Su Xue's eyes were bright, flashing with aura, and her shallow smile made people feel like a spring breeze.
Although she hadn't been here, she still had some knowledge of some of the information around her. In addition, the distance between Yanyang City and Child Star City is only two days and one night.
"Rub, it seems that I'm the only one with a confused face, these two guys are really hidden. Li Ning looked a little embarrassed when he saw that both of them answered the information about this city, as the leader of the gang, he didn't know anything about it.
Even the predecessor, in fact, never went out much, just in the nest. Because he was only the last of the five major families in Yanyang City at that time, no one would give face when he went outside.
The predecessor is not stupid.
Therefore, do not go too far to find guilt.
Immediately.
The three of them asked for the address.
Then take a horse-drawn carriage to the location of the branch.
It is a street of low-rise residents, and it is surrounded by shops of various supplies, many of which are not even seen in Yanyang City.
Although it is a town with low-rise residents, it is also very lively. It seems that the people who come here are not only locals, but also many outsiders.
In the middle of the street, there is a shop, but it doesn't look like it, because it doesn't sell much at all. However, there is a constant stream of people coming and going.
It looks very lively.
"I'm going to send things to Tianfei Town!"
"Help me send this to Yuanyang!"
"More than six pounds plus ten silver coins?
The people inside are like a vegetable market, and many of them are bargaining. However, the staff was not very friendly and seemed very tough.
Indicates that a dime will not be less.
You know, it's winter, and it's risking your life to send things to distant places, so how can you still reduce the price. This is also Li Ning's rule, after all, although these escorts are in groups, it is not good in case something happens.
"It looks good, it's not embarrassing to me. Li Ning, Su Xue and Chu He glanced at each other, and the three of them nodded with satisfaction.
The biggest reason why Shuntuan is developing so fast and doing so well is that there are no competitors. Moreover, the faces are all ordinary people.
A lot of the escorts basically book their customers to the rich. There are really very few civilian escorts like Zhang Fei, so if ordinary people want to send something, they basically get together in a group of people, and then give it to some escorts who are willing to carry it.
However, even this is cherry-picked.
But as soon as the group came out, he said that as long as you can afford to pay, whether it is an ordinary person or a poor person, you can escort it, which of course satisfies ordinary people.
Since you are satisfied, you will definitely consume.
The vigorous development of Shuntuan can be described as a snowball.
The traffic is increasing almost every day.
Even the manpower is a little insufficient.
"Hey, what are you three doing? If you want to send something, fill out the form, don't be stupid to stand at the door and stop the others!" At this time, a short-inch young man in his early twenties shouted at Li Ning and the three of them outside the door with a little dissatisfaction.
The door is indeed not small, but it can come and go, and there are many people in and out, so the three of them stand at the door, which is a little narrow, and it is inconvenient to walk.
Li Ning smiled, walked in, looked inside, walked in front of the young man and said, "Call the steward of your branch." ”
"No, who are you? We're very busy!" the young man became even more impatient when he heard this, and he frowned as he looked at the young man in front of him with scrutinizing eyes.
"What's the matter? If you call people out, don't grind!" Chu He stepped forward, staring at each other with one eye and a fierce expression, and the whole person was filled with a sinister aura.
The young man was startled, couldn't help but shrink his neck, took a step back, and said in horror: "Tube... The steward was inside and consulted with the people of the guard. ”
He is not stupid, these three people know from the way they are dressed that they are not ordinary people, not to mention that the one-eyed dragon in front of him has very terrifying eyes, as if he wants to eat people.
He was so scared that he didn't dare to refuse.
"Go and call people out. Li Ning didn't care what they were discussing, now that he was here, that was what these people needed to care about the most.
"Slightly... Wait a minute......" The young man wiped the cold sweat from his face, hurriedly turned around and pushed open a wooden door behind him, and walked in quickly.
Didn't wait long.
A few breaths in time.
The youth is back.
It's just him.
"What about people?" Chu He asked.
The steward said that he was very busy now and did not have time to meet outsiders. If you need anything, please come back in the afternoon or tomorrow. The young man replied with a bitter face.
"I want to see what it is, I don't even want to see it. With a wave of his right hand, Li Ning pushed the young man away and walked straight towards the open door.
"Hey, don't bother the steward, or my job won't be guaranteed. The young man was suddenly anxious and hurried to catch up.
"If you disturb the steward, you may lose your job, but if you disturb him, you may close the door here. Chu He stopped him and said coldly.
"Uh-" The young man froze.
"What do you mean? The price was raised once a few days ago, and now they tell me that they want to raise the price? We ourselves have begun to lose money!" said a young and middle-aged man in his thirties in the reception room.
"Zhang Wen, we are also old acquaintances, and this is not the first time we have cooperated. You also have to be considerate of us, after all, it's winter, and everything is going to be harder than usual, and the price is right. On the opposite side of the young and middle-aged man, there was a rugged man with a scar on the right side of his face, about thirty or forty years old, leaning against the wall with his hands on his chest at the moment.
When Zhang Wen, that is, the manager of this branch, heard this, he immediately came up in anger and shouted: "Zhou Ke, you are so fartful, since the winter, this price has been increased no less than ten times." I understand you, but you should be considerate of us!"
Zhou Ke sneered when he heard this: "Then what's the solution, you have so many things, we have to go back and forth several times a day." Originally, there were only so many people assigned to you, and now you have to draw people from other teams. ”
"You're getting more and more proficient at sitting on the ground. I heard that you are cooperating with the Niu family to create an escort organization like us, but I didn't believe it before, but now it seems to be true. Zhang Wen's face was gloomy, and his eyes were staring at the other side.
"Ha, of course you have to earn money together. Your organization is so profitable, it is inevitable that it will be targeted by us or others. During this period of cooperation, you have almost understood your structure. Zhou Kejian had completely torn his face, but fortunately he didn't pretend to do it.
"It's a good one, everyone earns it together. At this moment, Li Ning pushed open the door and walked in.
"Didn't I say it, don't bother me when you're talking about things!" Zhang Wen thought it was still the young man Xiao Xu just now, and suddenly yelled with an unhappy face.
But when you see the faces of the people who come clearly.
His expression froze.
The whole person was stunned.
"What, do you have any grievances against me?" Li Ning glanced at him and said lightly.
"Who are you?" Zhou Ke looked up and down at the young man in front of him, and he was also very unhappy to be disturbed.
"Help... Helper!" Zhang Wen was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he directly half-knelt on the ground and exclaimed.
