Su Qi nodded: "Well, it makes sense." In that case, you can go with me to the black market and pick a swordsmith to your heart's content. ”

Luo Ping was overjoyed when he heard this, he had always been very concerned about his slave status, but he didn't expect Su Qi to communicate with him like a friend, and he also cared very much about his opinions in business, which made him feel valued all of a sudden.

Su Qi estimated the time and said: "It's still early, I'll go and call the handyman to boil water, Luo Ping, you take a bath, change your clothes, and we'll go to Zhao Yang to discuss the matter of buying a sword foundry." ”

......

......

When he saw Zhao Yang again, he still had the same calm expression, but Su Qi could feel that the pressure he was under was significantly less. It seems that the aftermath has been handled smoothly in the past few days.

After seeing the flying sword that Zhao Yang showed that night, Su Qi didn't have too much fear of this underworld master, and still regarded him as an ordinary friend.

"The noble man in the court did not come to the door again, which means that your judgment is right, and he really does not dare to make a big fuss. As for the identity of this person, I didn't dare to let my subordinates go too far, so I never found out. Recently, the official market and some other businesses have all returned to the right track, and those forces that plotted to cause chaos have completely surrendered after this battle. It's all thanks to you. Zhao Yang said.

"We're just working together, not asking you for credit. Su Qi shook his head, "I'll help you, and it's good for me." ”

"I haven't figured out what to do with the three Mountain Ghost Sect disciples we captured before, do you have any suggestions?" Zhao Yang asked.

"Although I don't know the style of the Mountain Ghost Sect, this kind of big sect that is both righteous and evil, I think most of it will be a little arrogant and domineering. If you respectfully send the three disciples back, most of them will not appreciate it, but will think that you are weak and can be bullied. In my opinion, when they come to the door, you must question them more and be prepared for another fight. Of course, don't be too angry, and after the posture is enough, just find them a step down. Su Qi said.

Zhao Yang nodded: "Childe's words are very much in line with my heart." ”

Su Qi said: "This time, I mainly want to talk about opening a trading company. I want to open a swordsmithing workshop, I don't know if I have any recommendations?"

"I have a few swordsmithing workshops, but I don't know which one is to your liking. This matter, let Liu Qi send someone to take you to see it, and you can just talk about the specific things in private. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me. Zhao Yang said.

Liu Qiye heard that Su Qi wanted to buy the sword casting workshop, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he deliberately found a brother with the most dexterous legs and feet and the most clever work to take Su Qi to see the sword casting workshop.

Zhao Yang and these people, although they are underworld figures, they also have more or less some industries in their hands, but most of them are not run by themselves, they are all because the original owner has suffered losses due to poor management, so they have to be transferred to these underworld figures at a low price. These underworld figures are not all self-employed, and some shops simply sell them to make a difference.

From this point of view, these underworld characters are actually similar to the black intermediaries in Su Qi's previous life, but under the constraints of Zhao Yang, they can be regarded as black intermediaries with a relatively moral bottom line, but they will raise the price slightly, and they never dare to cheat. Therefore, these merchants are willing to buy some real estate, land and shops from them.

This underworld brother is also conscientious, and took Su Qi and Luo Ping to see the three swordsmithing workshops run by the underworld, and said that all three can be transferred, but there will be some differences in price. There were two swordsmithing workshops in the city, one at the end of the city and one in the slums, and one outside the city, which was larger than both.

After reading them all, Luo Ping analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of these three sword-casting workshops for Su Qi.

The advantage of this house in the slum is that it is cheap, but the location is not good, and it is not so on the stage, Su Qi considered that he was not too bad for money, and he would take the high-end route in the future, so this choice was rejected.

The advantage of the swordsmithing workshop in the official market is that the flow of people is large, and the shop is clean, but the problem is that the place is too small, there is only one furnace, and the number of swords cast is very limited. If it develops in the future, there are more swordsmiths, and it will not be able to occupy them.

The swordsmithing workshop outside the city is very large, but because it is outside the city, it can only be responsible for production, and if it is sold, it has to rent another shop in the city.

Su Qi thought for a while, and said to the underworld brother who led the way, "What is the price of these three sword casting workshops?"

"The swordsmithing workshop outside the city is the most expensive because it is the largest, and it costs 5,000 gold, the official city is better, although it is not large, it also needs 4,000 gold, and the slum is the cheapest, only 2,000 gold. The Sopranos introduced.

After listening to the price, Su Qi grinned and thought: "I originally thought that I was finally a rich man now, but I didn't expect that it would cost thousands of gold to buy a random shop, not counting those precious ores and other raw materials needed to forge a sword." ”

Seeing that Su Qi was a little hesitant, Luo Ping said in a low voice: "Childe, it's better to be in the slums." Just starting out, there's no need to use that expensive. Moreover, Shopkeeper Hao knows me, I'm afraid that if I forge a sword in the official market again, Shopkeeper Hao's face will not be able to get by......"

"He was stupid and sold you, how can he blame me?" Su Qi shook his head, "You don't pay attention to these things, just forge the sword, Shopkeeper Hao really came to the door and I blocked it for you, are you afraid that he won't succeed?"

"Yes. Luo Ping nodded, seeing Su Qi's resolute attitude, his heart was also a little more steady.

"I have already decided, the sword you cast is no worse than Master Fan Long's, if you really open the sword casting workshop in the slums, you will not be able to open the upper market, and your craftsmanship will be wasted. I just want to open it in the official market, and I want to make a big show and make a good noise. ”

Su Qi made up his mind and bought the swordsmithing workshop in Guanshi. After that, I have to hire some shop guys and apprentices to buy some iron ore and other raw materials. Su Qi naturally didn't do these things, but handed them over to Luo Ping, and handed over the remaining 1,000 gold to him as a turnover. In addition, Su Qi also told Luo Ping that although the store belonged to the Su Trading Company, Luo Ping could share 20% of the profits, which was an incredible behavior in this era.

Luo Ping was also very moved when he saw that Su Qi trusted him so much, and he redoubled his efforts when he started working. Su Qi didn't pay attention to it at all, in his opinion, although it is not easy to do business, it is easier than governing the country and marching after all.

Seeing that everything was on the right track, Su Qi began to think about two questions, one was money, he had now spent all the five thousand gold, and he had to find another amount of money to turn over and prevent accidents. The second is how to increase the popularity of his sword-forging workshop as soon as possible, so that those high-ranking officials and nobles will notice and spend money for their own swords.
