The service area of the Outer Gate Hall is lined up in turn, tea houses, restaurants, grocery stores, pawn shops... Liu Hong saw from a distance that there were many outer disciples coming in and out at the gate of the pawn shop, and a disciple who entered with a spear caught his attention.

As he walked, Feng Jing kept introducing to Liu Hong: "Senior Brother Liu, the business in the service area is all in the hands of a few elders from the outer gate. ”

"Among them, the Tasting Restaurant is the property of Elder Gu of Pinghu Hall, and the grocery store is the industry of Elder Lin of the Hall of Merit... The pawnshop is the property of Elder Su of Yibaotang. ”

The foreign elders of the Yanhai Martial Mansion accounted for the majority, and they were ranked high, so it was a little difficult for the local elders to snatch benefits from them.

Even the Fan family elders who have been in the Inner Gate Exercise Hall for many years can't manage their own forces, let alone others?

"This spear of mine has 800 fixed shock marks, 800 wear shock marks, and you only give 192 credit points?" Liu Hong, who had not yet stepped into the pawn shop, faintly heard a young man's voice.

"It's unknown if anyone buys a used weapon. How much risk we're taking, you know what?..." another voice said.

The official price of an extraordinary-grade magic weapon is one tael of gold per inscription, plus the cost of materials and minting, the spear that Liu Hong just saw, the original value should be around 2,000 taels of gold.

Entering the store, Liu Hong, who saw that their transaction had been completed, sighed in his heart: "192 merit points, more than 900 taels of gold, less than half of the actual cost!"

The shaft of this spear was wrapped around the ferrobar, and it was difficult to guess what kind of material it was made of without weighing it in his hand a few times. The tip of the spear, which was more than a foot long, shone with silver light, and there were a few small notches on the snow-white blade...

Such a gun barrel cannot be inscribed at all, so its inscription should be all concentrated on the gun head.

The guy in the store inserted it into the weapon rack on the right side of the store, looked back and felt Liu Hong's eyes, and snorted involuntarily in his nose, "New disciples, don't think about it!" 520 merit points, you drink the northwest wind after buying it!"

The spears collected from 192 merit points were sold for 520 merit points in the blink of an eye? Isn't this a money grab?

"I can't afford it, so it's okay to see it, right?" Liu Hong smiled and approached this side.

"Don't! You'd better stand still and watch! A magic weapon worth hundreds of merit points, if you break it, who will I find to cry!" Seeing this, the guy hurriedly blocked Liu Hong's way with his body.

"It's really a dog's eyes and people are low!" Feng Jing, who had been standing behind Liu Hong, clenched his fists out of the water, and he couldn't wait to step forward and pick up this guy.

"There are more than 300,000 merit points in our Senior Brother Liu's token, not to mention this gun, even if it is to pack all the weapons in your store and take them away!"

The new disciple 300,000 merit points surnamed Liu The guy put this information together in his mind and guessed Liu Hong's identity.

The day after tomorrow is the day when Liu Hong and Su Gongzi compete, and he sold this spear to him, isn't he an enemy?

Thinking of the guy here, he stretched out his arms to block Liu Hong's sight and said, "This gun has been booked by Su Gongzi, no matter how much money you give, I can't sell it!"

For the sake of an extraordinary-level weapon, it was impossible for Liu Hong to do anything to a guy who only had a Juyuan Realm cultivator. If it weren't for the fact that there were no competitors, it wasn't a monopoly business, the Su family's pawnshop, and this guy, how dare they ask for a sky-high price...

..............................

The magic weapon that the outer disciples did not need was the treasure that the sergeants in the city protector longed for. Why don't you make a competitor for the pawnshop inside the Wufu? Thinking of this, Liu Hong hung an arc on the corner of his mouth and left the pawnshop.

"Senior Brother Liu's temperament is really good! He didn't get angry after being wronged so much?" Feng Jing, who followed Liu Hong out and stepped into the grocery store, sighed.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any paper and pen?" Liu Hong shouted directly to the counter after entering the grocery store.

"Of course, I don't know how many of you?" asked the shopkeeper, who was doing the accounts at the counter, put down the brush in his hand, stood up, and asked.

"Shhh Then, I found that the brush I had just put down suddenly disappeared in front of me.

"As long as it is a magic weapon, whether it is new or old, it will be purchased at a 7% discount at the original price! Everything that is purchased by the grocery store will be sold to me at a 90% discount at the original price!"

After Liu Hong left two big characters of Liu Hong at the bottom, he handed the paper to the shopkeeper and said, "Do you know that your owner, Elder Lin of the Hall of Merit, owes me more than one million merit points?

The bid is much higher than that of the pawn shop, are you still afraid that you will not receive the magic weapon? The grocery store does nothing and takes 20% of the profit, are you not satisfied?

The stunned shopkeeper saw Liu Hong's name on this piece of paper, and he was sure that what he had just met was not a madman.

"Isn't this a way for us to compete with the pawn shop next door?" the shopkeeper muttered to himself, looking up at Liu Hong and turning away, watching him take something in his shop, watching him cross the threshold...

...................................

In the Ju'an Restaurant opposite the headquarters of Tiandao Commercial Bank, the shopkeeper Lu came down from upstairs, looked at the sky outside, turned back to the guy in the counter and asked, "Did you receive the Lu family's "Yanhai Evening News" today?"

The "Yanhai Evening News" that appeared a few days ago will stimulate newspapers for free in the city before Shen Shi.

"It shouldn't appear in the future!" the guy looked up and saw the shopkeeper Lu, and hurriedly took out the "Yanhaidi Newspaper" from the counter and handed it over.

The guy knew that his shopkeeper had a stake in the business of "Yanhaidi Daily". So, the expression excitedly told him:

"Look at the announcement in the fourth edition! Iwakai Printing Agency has acquired, all the papermaking workshops in Iwami City, what will the "Iwami Evening News" use?"

"That's right! The shopkeeper also handed me a survey form for the newspaper delivery package today, and I want to give it to you to fill out and take it back early tomorrow morning!" After the guy finished speaking, he took out one from the drawer and handed it to the shopkeeper Lu.

The shopkeeper Lu, who went upstairs with the "Yanhaidi Newspaper" and the form, returned to his room and found those announcements on the fourth page of the newspaper first.

The act of distributing newspapers for free was a malicious competition, and the use of funds by the Yanhai Printing Society, the acquisition of paper workshops, and the control of raw materials were a blow to the Lu family.

Lu believes that as long as Liu Hong is willing, it is not a problem to control the raw materials of papermaking.

"Could it be that the "Yanhaidi Daily" is going to be revised again?" said the shopkeeper Lu, who put down the newspaper and picked up the investigation form, to himself.

The first column on this survey form contains all the columns in the "Iwahaidi Daily", leaving a space behind each column, hoping that the bosses who receive the form will check the columns they are interested in.

You also have to fill in how much you are willing to pay for the naming rights of this column after the column you have checked.

"What else would you like to see?" is a question below the table to hear from all shareholders.

Only by communicating with shareholders and interacting with readers can we make the newspaper better and better, close to life, and meet the needs... Mr. Lu believes that if he adheres to such a concept, "Yanhaidi Daily" will get better and better!
