Chapter 622: Running Merchant System
[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site" ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Fang Jie rode a horse from the Chaoyang Gate of the east gate of the **city, and traveled straight north along the official road for three days. Only to arrive at the old dragon head, this place is the easternmost end of the Great Wall, Chenghai Tower, towering, high in the city, the tower of "majestic thousands of miles" on the horizontal plaque condescending. Straight down to the sea, from Chenghai Tower, there is a stone city, step by step, stretching into the sea, standing on the platform of the terminal building of the stone city, overlooking the sea and sky, the color is boundless, the weather is thousands.
And after the old dragon's head traveled northeast for half a day. It is the easternmost important pass of the Great Wall - Shanhaiguan. The terrain here is dangerous, since ancient times, it is the only place to pass through the Central Plains outside the Guan, standing on the Guanlou, looking at the ancient castle in the north, the beacon tower is vivid, the old dragon head is in the south along the Great Wall, and the old dragon head that goes straight to the sea can be seen vaguely, and a huge horizontal plaque is hung on the second floor of the city tower - "the first pass in the world"!
Although Fang Jie has already traveled here in reality, it has a unique flavor when he revisits the old place in the game, if it is Shanhaiguan in reality, it is more of a sense of historical desolation and heaviness. The Shanhaiguan in the game is to reproduce the majesty and majesty of the Celestial Empire, which is quite majestic. Even Fang Jie, who is not very interested in travel, couldn't help but sigh, and felt a sense of pride from the bottom of his heart
From Shanhaiguan to the north is the official road leading to the outside of the pass, several meters wide avenue, all paved by loess, can be parallel, four or five carriages are not crowded, it is the only way to enter and exit the pass, the road is full of traffic, the merchant team can be seen everywhere, the team is led by the runners who traffic back and forth, the merchants and players who traffic in leather goods, medicinal materials, timber and other living materials, occasionally there are also the officers and soldiers of the NPC who maintain law and order, riding horses and galloping past, provoking those running merchants and players on the road have sideways eyes, and they don't know which caravan has been robbed.
What he saw and heard along the way made Fang Jie, who had been in retreat for a long time and barely walked around the rivers and lakes, sigh greatly, if the inside of the pass is still a place of martial arts with a strong atmosphere, then the outside of the pass shows a completely different side.
The most striking thing is the group of players running merchants on the official road, some of them only have a dozen wagons, and some of the teams are as large as hundreds of wagons, and they can't be seen at a glance, in addition, the escort team that travels with the caravan also aroused Fang Jie's interest.
After inquiry, I learned that the role of these escorts is mainly to protect the caravan from being robbed by NPC robbers and player robbers, and its members are diverse, from all factions in the rivers and lakes, and even NPC guards directly from the system, and the kung fu under the hands of everyone is not weak. Of course, the ** cost is not low, but this is actually nothing for a caravan that can earn ten times or twenty times the profit of one businessman.
Fang Jie's map of rivers and lakes was basically not explored except for the various cities, and it was all pitch black, so after leaving the Shanhaiguan, he joined a medium-sized caravan to Hetuara City and became an ordinary escort. This was done because he was half blind and worried that he was going the wrong way, and secondly, he wanted to ask about some details about these living systems such as logging, lest he arrive in Hetuara City again, and he had to ask for help. After all, this time and twice can be more, people don't bother, he feels that he is too faceless.
Fang Jie's procedure for joining this caravan was simple. Because except for some daring caravans. Almost every caravan will stay in Shanhaiguan for a period of time to recruit the necessary guards, Fang Jie's skills needless to say, just casually exposed his hands in front of a leader named Lao Sun Tou, and he was very smooth to serve as a coolie, but maybe there were many masters in the caravan, or maybe Fang Jielu's two hands Taizu Long Fist was too ordinary, so although it was not regarded as indiscriminate, it did not provoke a group of people to look at it with admiration.
Keep a low profile, which is exactly what Fang Jie wants. If these people knew that there was a Huashan Sword Grand Slam champion in the team, how would they not make a fuss......
Maybe he noticed that Fang Jie was relatively low-key. The appearance is also very low-key...... It's not low-key, it's not okay. After all, even if Fang Jie used the disguise technique, he also found a human skin mask that looked like no oil and salt, and wore a caravan leader, Lao Suntou, who had a good impression of Fang Jie. Along the way, the other guard players were assigned tasks, and Fang Jie's task was to accompany Lao Sun Tou and chatter.
Old Sun Tou is as his name, his surname is Sun, and he is an old man, this person has a very cheesy name in the game, called Sun Dasheng, but everyone in the team, and even other players who often run the business, only affectionately call him Old Sun Tou when they see him. Although he can be the grandfather of these little children at his age, he doesn't feel that there is anything inappropriate about this title, and he always looks happy when he has nothing to do, and he looks very amiable, but when he does serious things, his old arms and legs, coupled with that very unique hoarse voice, has a vicissitudes of life and a thick momentum, and a group of juniors do everything about it!
The team was moving forward in an orderly manner, and Lao Sun Tou also opened the conversation: "Xiao Wu, you look like you should be running this line for the first time, right?" ”
Fang Jie used the disguise technique to randomly make an ordinary human skin mask, and the pseudonym is "Wu Feng", the homonym is the meaning of "no wind and no waves", in a sense, it also represents his mentality of wanting to act in a low-key manner, so the old grandson will call Fang Jie "Xiao Wu", after all, Fang Jie, who wears a human skin mask, is not to mention a businessman and life player. Even those top martial arts players are hard to tell the truth from the fake.
"Uh-huh." Fang Jie nodded again and again, but he didn't dare to say much in front of the old grandson with his eyes like a torch, so as not to show his feet and cause unnecessary trouble, but he secretly said with some tears and laughter in his heart: Run this line? What is the ...... It's pretty professional......"
"Hey, I knew you were a rookie at first sight!" After his judgment was confirmed, the old grandson couldn't help but snort. Obviously quite proud, of course, the so-called "rookie" of the old grandson should refer to the rookie who runs the business, but Fang Jie is self-aware, so he doesn't realize that the other party relies on the old and sells the old.
Although Fang Jie's words were few, the old grandson who talked about ** didn't mind at all, and still smiled to himself: "From ** City to Hetuara City, there are the most players running merchants on this line, because the profit is the highest, of course, the danger is also the greatest, in addition to the NPC horse thieves sent by the system, there are also some horse thief legions made by the little guys to take advantage of the fire to rob." Later, if you encounter robbers, you just have to stay with me, I don't need you to make a move, this time you can see the world first. ”
"See the world?" Fang Jie was really a little speechless, thinking to himself, didn't he see less of the world in the game? But after thinking about it, except for the time when he was rescued by Lonely Xingyun at the beginning of the game, he encountered robbers. I really haven't experienced that kind of scene myself, it seems that I really responded to that sentence, interlaced like a mountain!
"Little friend, you can't be so bored, you can't be a gourd, you don't look very handsome, and you don't like to talk, how can you get a daughter-in-law in the future!" It seems that because Fang Jie always doesn't speak, the old grandson admonished him earnestly, and then without waiting for Fang Jie to speak, he suddenly said again: "Oh, I understand, you probably think that this old man doesn't have a common language like other young people, right?" No wonder you just joined the industry so you don't know my situation. You can't really be blamed for that. ”
In fact, although it is relatively rare for the elderly to play online games, Fang Jie has not seen the Pearl of the Palm and Qiu Xin, isn't it the father and daughter who go into battle together? So although Fang Jie had some doubts about this, he didn't take it to heart, but since the old grandson took the initiative to help him find a reason, he smiled noncommittally. It is considered to be a tacit acquiescence to the other party's statement, o read the four friends of the cloth z staring at this concave m
The old grandson laughed and said, "It seems that I have to talk about it again, and every time I meet you novices, I have to explain it again...... Actually, let's be objective. This game isn't just for you young people, aren't you? Subjectively speaking. My old man also has a dream of martial arts. With such a fun game, of course, I want to live a good life before I die of old age, and my dream will come true. In a practical sense, I only think I'll live for 10 years at most. But you can live a few hundred years longer...... This one is a bit self-defeating. But it's better to play with young people until you die than to be out there and be lonely and old to the end, right? ”
Speaking of this, a doting smile appeared on the old grandson's face. Said slowly: "My grandson and son are also playing in this game, of course I, as a grandfather, have to do something for that little guy, and I usually run a business to make up for his expenses, which can be regarded as a little bit of my old immortal mind...... Hey, you don't know, my grandson is very capable. Now he is one of the top ten masters of the Hu family outside the Guanwai, and now he is following their sect disciples to do things, and there is a team of 100,000 Hu family under his hands! ”
"Uh......" Fang Jie couldn't help but be speechless again, this time it was really not that he didn't want to speak. But I don't know what to say about the disciples of the Hu family outside the Guanwai...... Isn't that just nonsense? Nonsense, when you see yourself, you have to put down the shelf, let alone the grandson of the old grandson, if this is worth bragging......
Thinking of this, Fang Jie suddenly felt a little relieved. Bi Jing himself has lived in a "high position" in martial arts for a long time, and he really doesn't know much about the "people's feelings", after all, in the eyes of ordinary people, he can enter the top ten masters of the sect, and there are less than 500 people in the hundreds of millions of people in the entire rivers and lakes who have this qualification, and the leader of a team of 100,000 people is even more amazing.
This kind of thing is of course a bit pediatric in Fang Jie's eyes, but seeing the proud expression of the old grandson, Fang Jie couldn't laugh in his heart, and at the same time, it was more of an understanding, envy and touching, thinking that if his grandfather was still alive, would he be like the old grandson, for his grandson, and also for his grandson?
Fang Jie, whose eyes were slightly red, forcibly suppressed the feeling in his heart and couldn't help but ask, "What is your grandson's name in the game?" ”
"Yo, you still don't believe it!" Old Sun Tou was mistaken, thinking that Fang Jie wanted to knock on the side to verify it, and couldn't help but say proudly: "When he entered the game, he was originally called Sun Buxiao...... Don't think that he is called unfilial piety, which is really unfilial piety, this is him borrowing this name to encourage himself! Later, the name of the Hu family became Hu Buxiao...... Although this name is not filial piety, it is better than being called Hu Sun...... In short, if you don't believe it, you can go to the Hu family outside the gate to inquire if there is such a person. ”
"How dare I not believe your old man's words?" Fang Jie snorted, but secretly wondered in his heart whether he should say hello to Hu Talk, let him take care of this person named Hu Buxiao, how to say that Lao Sun Tou is a lot old, and it is not easy to lead the team and run businessmen, this matter of hard work can be helped, and it will not cost much.
Just thinking about it, I only heard the old grandson say to himself again: "This game costs money quickly, and it earns quickly, but the money is always not enough to spend, and the money I make from running businesses outside all year round has been spent by that little guy, so I finally climbed to the top ten masters of the Hu family...... I really don't know how those top ten masters on the rivers and lakes practice, especially Fang Jie, who won the Huashan Sword Grand Slam championship this time...... The kid. Old man, I admire it tightly! ”
Fang Jie was speechless again, and the old grandson didn't seem to have the intention of letting Fang Jie answer. He continued to sigh: "This man is really a dead man compared to a man. So old man, I have also seen it now, and I have run a businessman in this life, make some money, and support my kid, just do it, and it seems that my martial arts will not be able to go for a while. After being reincarnated and reborn, let's see if I can wave the residual heat, hehehe......" In the end, the old grandson seemed to see a bright future and couldn't help but laugh happily.
Fang Jie laughed twice and couldn't help but say: "Hehe, I'm a little tight on my hands, this time I'm going to **** the situation first. I'll run for it myself in the future, so ...... If you don't understand something, I'd like to ask you about it. ”
"Hey, what's embarrassing to say." Old Sun Tou was a little dissatisfied with Fang Jie's way of speaking, and waved his hand: "Who in this martial arts game doesn't want to become a martial arts master?" The reason why you are doing this business is not to save some money to buy some cheats and learn some martial arts? I can't do anything else, old man. But the runner is a senior insider, if you have any questions, just ask them, many of the leaders of the runner team are brought up by me. Money is inexhaustible, there are many friends in this business, there are many ways, as long as you have the idea and the ability to be a big old man, I can't ask for it! ”
Hearing this, Fang Jie couldn't help but feel respect. After all, not all of them are friends in business, and they are likely to be competitors. The more you train a master runner, the more fierce the competition. It's really rare to see a player like Old Man Sun who treats people sincerely, Fang Jie secretly thought, maybe it's because the other party has reached the age where he can't see anything lightly, if ordinary people are so kind to talk to you, know everything, say everything, and really have some way to make money, don't they all secretly hide themselves and make a lot of money?
While thinking like this in his heart, Fang Jie humbly asked: "I only heard that running merchants are very profitable. But I don't know how much money is made and how to make money.
The old grandson seemed to be very satisfied with Fang Jie's attitude, and said with a smile: "This running business system is simple and complex......
Speaking of this, Lao Sun Tou reorganized his language for a moment before pointing to his team and continued: "You see, without me, the goods that I transported to Hetuara City this time were mainly some ordinary ingredients and fabrics, in addition to some silk and porcelain. The city of Hetuara is mainly a concentration of resource gathering, and there is no shortage of industrial materials, but there is an extreme shortage of living materials, because the icy climate there is not suitable for farming. Ingredients and fabrics cannot be produced, so they can only be transported from the Central Plains. And those players in the city, food, clothing, housing and transportation are huge consumption, so we can only rely on us to run the merchants, the players transport the materials, and then the chefs and garmenters in the city will make the finished products and sell them.
Seeing that Fang Jie looked a little puzzled, the old grandson seemed to have guessed what the other party thought. I couldn't help laughing: "You may not know it yet, the materials cannot be listed on the auction house, they can only be trafficked, this is one of them." In addition, Hetuara City does not provide raw material processing services, for example, if you collect "logs" and "iron ore", if you want to make a "logging axe", you must first transport the logs to the carpentry workshops and refining workshops in some cities in the south of the Yangtze River to process them into "wood" and "fine iron", and then sell these resources to the system, and equipment manufacturers such as blacksmiths buy these wood and iron from the system to make a logging axe, and finally put it on the auction house for sale. Therefore, all kinds of raw materials produced in Hetuara City must be transported by the runners, and the production tools they need daily must also be transported by the runners or bought at the auction house, and the runners earn the difference in price. ”
"I see......"
Fang Jie nodded, thinking that he had a general understanding of the production system and the business system. As a result, the words of the old grandson are just a beginning: "What I said earlier is a way to make money by running a business, or taking logs as an example, a log is sold to us for 1o copper plates, but it can be sold for 1-2 taels of silver after being transported to the woodworking workshop and processed into wood, and the difference between this is ten times the price difference between this is still the price recovered by the system, you say that you run a business to earn 1 or 2o times the profit, and it is cost-effective to come back?" ”
Fang Jie's chick nodded like a rice peck: "1, 2o times the profit is too cost-effective!" ”
"But it's just a small profit." The old grandson laughed and said, "In addition to the materials that players need, there is also popular trade between major cities!" On the first day of each month, the system refreshes the popular goods in each city. For example, the popular porcelain and silk in Hetuara City this month can only be bought by popular traders in Yangzhou City, so if you want to run the popular trade, you should first go to Yangzhou City to buy goods, and then quickly transport the goods to the northernmost Hetuara City within a month...... Hey, hey, hey, hey, there's 5o-1oo times the profit! ”
"Huh? No way? Fang Jie's expression couldn't help but be stunned, what is the concept of 5o-1oo times profit? Even if Fang Jie didn't have to calculate, he knew that this was definitely a huge profit! Only then did Fang Jie understand why he had worked hard to make money everywhere to get ten percent of the pills, and finally met the requirements of learning various martial arts cheats, while the other players were silent and did not lag much behind. Dare to make money by this, but after thinking about it, I only ran for a month, and if I didn't do well, I was robbed, even if the money was earned. The leveling has been delayed, and it seems that there are still gains and losses......
