Chapter 224, Running Merchants to Pay Debts
"But you're my retainer, don't forget. Luo Tian was a little reluctant to let Yin Jiu leave.
"As a craftsman, I think that what is hindering my progress now may be that shop, I want to return to the original state, wander around, travel everywhere, improve my cultivation and skills, I am still your retainer, but I think I should also be like the big worm, find a way to improve myself, maybe only by returning to the starting point, can I create a real king. ”
Yin Jiu had made up his mind, of course Luo Tian could refuse, but he didn't.
The carriage entered the town in the neutral area, and Luo Tian prepared dry food and coils for Yin Jiu.
"How long will it take?"
"I don't know, maybe half a year or a year, I'll come back when I'm sure to build a royal weapon, but don't worry, boss, the first royal weapon I built must be left for you, take care." ”
Yin Jiu walked away, the continent was so vast, but Luo Tian didn't know when he would be able to meet him again.
"You are really the most interesting boss I have ever seen, Yin Jiu is a cash cow, you actually let him go, and the shop will not be opened, how can you pay back the money you owe Duanmu girl?"
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and then we will find a way, why, you won't have to go on the road alone, right?"
"I don't have this plan, but in view of the fact that the store can't be opened now, and 50,000 taels is not a small amount, I think we should think of a way to make money, after all, the holiday is still long. ”
Back in the Spirit Pavilion, Luo Tian once again completed the so-called impossible task.
After Luo Tian lifted his control over Jin You, this Spirit Pavilion student who had not spoken well for many days and could not act well burst into a scolding session, and it was still in the room of the high-level meeting of the Spirit Pavilion.
"We have already recorded the information about the second internal response, as for the punishment of Jin You, we will discuss it later and then decide, the next step is to start finding out the second internal response sent by Jiujiao into our Spirit Pavilion. The vice-principal spoke.
"Luo Tian student, you have helped us a lot, I will allow you to continue to enter the secret realm to cultivate after the start of school, and the matter about Jiujiao will be handled by us. ”
Obviously, the high-level didn't want Luo Tian to be too involved in the conflict between the Spirit Pavilion and Jiujiao, and Luo Tian's injuries were not good, and he didn't want to get involved, so he retreated.
After the terrorist attack, the Spirit Pavilion was empty, the library was being rebuilt, the students had left the Spirit Pavilion, only a few students remained, the dormitory building of the ground building was also being renovated, and Teacher Twilight looked haggard, and it was said that she hadn't slept well for a long time.
In particular, there are tombstones standing on the hill behind the Ling Pavilion, one of which is Ren Ying's, and Zhuhua will come every day to put a bouquet of flowers.
The business district was originally the most lively place in the Ling Pavilion, but after the attack, no customers dared to come, and many shops closed one after another.
"Boss, sooner or later, we will have to find a way to do some business. Luo Bi sat in the tavern and said to Luo Tian, in the past, such taverns were usually quite lively, but now there are only two of them.
"Do business, such as finding a market to set up a stall, and then selling the failed products left by Yin Jiu at a high price, and making a lot of money?" Luo Tian asked with a smile.
"Of course not, my God, boss, why is your business concept so weak, I have to explain to you, first of all, as a businessman who has been in business for many years, I have never set up a stall in any market, even if I do business, I have to get at least a shop, after all, I am not doing a small business of a dozen taels of silver, but a big business of hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of taels, if there is not even a decent store, how can customers come to the door?"
"So what do you say?"
"I can use old acquaintances to get some orders, and when we have orders, we will go to get the goods, and then deliver the goods to collect money, and the orders I get can generally earn thousands of taels or even tens of thousands of taels per ticket. ”
"Isn't this method the same for all merchants?" Luo Tian asked puzzled.
"Oh my God, boss, are the orders I get the same as those small businessmen who dare to say they have a fleet after getting a cow? The orders I get are all of specifications, heights, and even some risks. ”
Luo Tian took a sip of wine and smiled: "It seems that it can only be like this, when will we start?"
Luo Bi seemed to be happy to be able to return to his old business, and after touching the wine glass with Luo Tian with a smile, he said, "I will start to arrange it in the next few days." ”
There are still nearly two months of the holiday in the Ling Pavilion, this time is not long, it is not short, originally Luo Tian you can use this time to cultivate well, but now you owe 50,000 taels to others, and the store is still closed, how can you pay it back.
Therefore, I can only follow Luo Bi to run business.
"Boss, the first order is here. Luo Bi grinned and walked in with a letter.
"Oh?"
"It was sent to me by an old relationship in my Tongtian Society, there is a small country called Weiguo in the north of the mainland, and recently wanted to build a batch of new equipment, but unfortunately this country does not produce iron ore, so it has been imported from neighboring countries after building, but recently Weiguo and neighboring countries have conflicted, other countries have suspended their iron ore exports, therefore, Weiguo must find a way to get iron ore from other channels, this is our opportunity, a total of more than 100 tons, I contacted several mine bosses who were familiar with each other in the past, calculated the account, according to the quotation they gave and the quotation I gave to the Ministry of Finance of Weiguo, the difference in the middle, each ton can earn 300 to 350 taels of silver, and the more than 100 tons of iron ore, in the end, we can earn a net profit of nearly 4,000 taels. ”
"It's only four thousand taels?" Luo Tian was a little disappointed.
He has never done business, and in the past, the money from selling Yin Jiu's treasures came very quickly, and the craftsmen on the mainland were all rich, and some people were willing to pay for their craft, so the price of treasures went all the way up.
A low-level treasure with a human weapon can be sold for tens of thousands of taels, and Luo Tian naturally doesn't look down on these four thousand taels.
"Boss, this is four thousand taels, an ordinary person only earns a few taels of silver a year, and you don't even think you make much. ”
"It's better to talk than nothing, so when are we leaving, and besides, what do we use to pull more than a hundred tons of iron ore, that requires a huge convoy. ”
"I've thought about this, I have a friend who specializes in bulk cargo transportation, I have paid a deposit, his convoy should now have set off to the mine to pull goods, we will set off today, we should meet him at the mine, and then go to Weiguo with him, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, complete the transaction, and receive four thousand taels. ”
According to Luo Bi's request, the two of them set off on the same day.
After walking for seven days, they arrived at the mine, the mine boss and Luo Bi were old acquaintances, and they were immediately hospitalized, and if they could have a few mines on the mainland, they would also have mastered a few treasure troves, and the bosses who could win the mines also had identities and backgrounds, and there was no one to cover their heads, so I was afraid that this business would not last long.
"It's been a long time, Brother Tiger. ”
The person who does business with Luo Bi is called Ah Hu, and most of the people in the business circle call him Brother Hu, I heard that this guy's family is the bandit leader of Jiugang and Eighteen Villages near the mine, and there are tens of thousands of people under his hands, and with the local terrain, even if there are 50,000 or 60,000 officers and soldiers, they can't be wiped out.
Ah Hu, who has a scar on his left eye, is in his thirties, and when he first met, he was wearing a black overalls, and it is said that he usually goes down to work with the miners.
"The mine near me is very rich, and I have already let people load more than 100 tons of goods you want, and we haven't seen each other for a long time, so we must have a few more drinks this time." ”
"Okay, thank you Brother Tiger for your help, let me introduce, this is my current boss Luo Tian, boss, this is Brother Hu, the boss of the mine. ”
As soon as the two sides met and shook hands with each other, Brother Hu saw that Luo Tian was unmoved, so he laughed and said: "Looking young but capable, I have heard of your name, the most potential and famous student in the Spirit Pavilion this time, no wonder my Luo Bi brother is so arrogant and can follow you." ”
"Haha, let's go into the house and talk, I asked someone to prepare some simple drinks, let's talk while drinking. ”
