Chapter 517: Fang City Officially Opened
"Oh, yes, it's all good. By the way, what about the others, how are they?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
"Among the few of us, except for Mu Liu, who has just recovered from his injuries, he has all broken through the late Tianyuan period. The two You brothers have reached the peak of the middle stage, and they are not far from a breakthrough. Miss Xi successfully advanced to the middle of Tianyuan, Cui Kai's injuries had healed, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the early stage. None of them were there, and only the two of us and the Star Beast were in charge of guarding the mansion. Mu Shi replied.
Before Zhou Yang's retreat, he handed over a large number of Fire Spirit Pills and Brown Shadow Pills, as well as many cultivation materials, and coupled with the Spirit Gathering Array, it was difficult for them to improve their cultivation.
"How about Wangtian Pavilion and Fang City?" Zhou Yang asked again.
"The development of Wangtian Pavilion is very good, and two other stores have also opened. Yangtianfang City has entered the trial operation, and there are currently many merchants stationed in the city, just waiting for you to exit the customs will be officially opened. Mu Shidao.
"Good. I'll take a look. Zhou Yang was very happy, it was really unexpected that Yangtianfang City was built so quickly and entered trial operation.
Leaving the central city, Zhou Yang found that the entire outer city had changed, the pieces of ruins had long disappeared, replaced by straight and wide streets, exquisite pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, picturesque scenery, shops on both sides of the street, and the flow of people shuttled, which was more prosperous than before the war.
In the Nancheng area, the street that belongs to itself is also replaced by a super-large building, as high as more than 30 zhang, seven or eight miles wide, and a large square market more than ten miles long, standing in front of you, not smaller than Bojiafang City!
Zhou Yang's eyes widened, his throat couldn't help but move, and secretly said This is definitely a big deal, it's really a blockbuster!
There is a huge plaque hanging in the middle of the gate of the market, but it is covered by red silk, and the name is not revealed, and it seems that it will be unveiled at the opening ceremony.
"Brother Zhou, you're out of the customs!" As soon as Zhou Yang entered Fang City, he met Liang Qiuyan and Lu Keyu head-on.
"What, you two are leaving?" Zhou Yang asked.
"I'm about to go to the mansion, if you don't leave the customs again, I'll forcibly call you out later!" Liang Qiuyan's expression was a little anxious.
"What's so in such a hurry?"
"Now there are more and more tenants, but this opening celebration has not been carried out for a long time, and they are uneasy!" said Lu Keyu.
"That's it, you just discuss the opening, don't wait for me. "Zhou Yang thought it was a big deal.
"What's the matter, you are the largest shareholder and the landlord, how can this opening celebration be separated from you!" Liang Qiuyan shook his head.
"Aren't I coming, you can arrange it!"
"Okay, Lao Lu, you quickly send someone to invite the head of the West Key and several other directors, tell them that the opening ceremony will be held on time at three o'clock in the day after tomorrow, and let them be responsible for notifying the family and related merchants. I'll arrange for someone to send a post to the City Lord's Mansion and the Council of Elders of Jiemeng City. Brother, I'm not familiar with the merchants here, so let's come. "Liang Qiu is hot and windy.
"Okay, I'll go find them. Lu Keyu turned around and left.
"I'm fine here. By the way, looking at the way you are busy, could it be that you are the one who is in charge of Yangtianfang City?" Zhou Yang said curiously.
"You really guessed it right, the family attaches great importance to this matter, and ordered me to personally sit in Fang City, this is a chore, Danfang is much more leisurely than here. Liang Qiuyan said helplessly.
"With you, a fake Dan master, personally sitting in Fang City, it's hard to think about it. After a while, everything is settled, and it will naturally be idle. ”
"Yes. By the way, the deputy director Ouyang you arranged is not bad, he is a careful young man. Liang Qiu Yan said.
"You can just look at it, he's still a newcomer, help a little more. Zhou Yang said.
"The newcomer has the courage! No, originally I waited for the public to discuss and only build a Fang Market, but Ouyang Chong proposed that it would be better to build another auction hall in the Fang Market, although it would be more investment, but it was still worth it. Liang Qiuyan praised.
"Oh, just like Bojiafang City?" Zhou Yang hadn't even thought about building an auction house, but he didn't expect this kid Ouyang to be so courageous.
"Not bad. Actually, the auction hall is the most profitable for spirit stones, Jiemeng is a good place, the prosperity is second only to Suiling Southwest City, the auction house is definitely hot!" Liang Qiuyan nodded.
"Which of you two is specifically in charge of the auction house?" Zhou Yang asked.
"He brought it up, and naturally he is responsible. ”
"No, he doesn't have that skill yet. I think it's up to the West Key to decide, and it's best for the West Key family to send someone to preside, and then consider him taking over when everything is on the right track in the future. Zhou Yang categorically vetoed Ouyang Chong.
He has only been in the business world for a long time, and it is not enough to rely on enthusiasm, especially in the auction house, which is not presided over by an elderly person who is a well-established person.
"It's already been discussed, it's hard to change it, it's up to you. "Liang Qiuyan is embarrassed.
"Leave it alone, I'll tell. ”
"That's good. Let's go, you, the major shareholder, also inspect Yangtianfang City!" Liang Qiuyan made a gesture of invitation.
"Hehe, okay. ”
"Yes, yes, it makes sense. The two walked from the first floor to the third floor, and more than half of the stalls had merchants, including stalls from six major families such as the West Key Family and Liangqiu.
Although the structure here is similar to that of Bojiafang City, the various areas are more detailed and more specific.
For example, in the area of daily necessities, Lingcha Lingguo is divided into one area, clothing and cloth are divided into one area, and what Chengui, straw mats and some small objects are divided into another area.
As for the elixir, magic weapons, magic weapons, and cultivation materials, they are also very fine, which is more advanced than that of Bojiafang City.
In this way, the business of some industries may not be very good at the beginning, but it is conducive to the selection of goods by merchants from all parties, and it is also conducive to the name of a certain commodity.
"Shopkeeper, are you out of customs?" Ouyang Chong, who was busy, saw Zhou Yang and the two approaching, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"Hmm. How's it going, it's okay?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
"I'm a newcomer, I have no experience, if it weren't for the presence of Liang Qiu, I might not be able to start. Ouyang Chong said modestly.
"You can also confess that it would be nice to have this understanding. "He is telling the truth, managing such a large market is really difficult for him as a newcomer.
"Hehe, Ouyang is good, with a little polishing, he is a good hand. Liang Qiuyan said with a smile.
"Director Liangqiu, you don't have to accompany me, I'll just walk around. Zhou Yang said politely.
"Well, let's see, if there's something wrong, just bring it up. Liang Qiuyan knew that Zhou Yang had something to say to Ouyang Chong, so he took his leave.
The two walked to an idle stall, and Zhou Yang said, "I heard that you proposed to build an auction house?"
"Just follow the example of Bojiafang City. Ouyang Chong touched his head and said.
"Well, yes, even those old men didn't expect it, which shows that you are more courageous than them!" Zhou affirmed.
"The shopkeeper is serious, and I have a lot to ask them for. It seems that Ouyang Chong's mind is quite clear.
"You're right, they're not only good people, they're also good businessmen, so you should ask them for more advice. By the way, how are you going to take care of the auction house?" Zhou Yang changed the topic.
In fact, he doesn't know how to take care of the auction house, but he can judge and use people.
"To be honest, I don't have any experience at all, so I can only rely on the gourd and learn slowly. Ouyang Chong said.
"Do you know how to organize a successful auction?" Zhou Yang nodded and asked again.
"I want to hire a professional auctioneer. Ouyang Chong blurted out.
"It's true to ask for an auctioneer, but the auctioneer is only the last part of the auction. Zhou Yang shook his head.
"Are you talking about organizing the supply of goods, and attracting auctioneers?" Ouyang Chong was not ignorant of this.
"What else?"
"There's also the issue of lot pricing. Ouyang Chong thought about it, but he didn't have a clear idea.
"Auctions are different from other businesses, and if the first auction is not successful, it will be difficult to turn over. Zhou Yang said solemnly.
"Yes, the first auction must be off to a good start, so as to make the name of Yangtian Auction House out. But the shopkeeper, I now understand that I should hire someone with experience to manage this auction house. "Ouyang Chong is not a stupid person, he reacts quickly.
"Don't worry about it, it's not that you can't do it, but you don't have experience yet. There is no room for mistakes in the first auction, everything has to be thought out and everything must be done in a foolproof way. It would be difficult to do this well without organizing more than ten auctions. ”
Zhou Yang was afraid of discouraging his enthusiasm, so he did not directly point out that he would not be allowed to manage the auction house, but took the trouble to guide him in simple terms.
"I see. Ouyang Chong nodded.
"Which of the other six shareholders do you think is best suited to manage the auction house?"
"It should be the West Key family. Ouyang Chong said with a deep groan.
"Well, I think they're suitable too. ”
Two days later, the opening ceremony of Yangtianfang City was officially held, and the six major families of Suiling City all sent a Jindan master to help.
In addition, the forces and merchants who are close to the six major families also arrived, and they all sent valuable gifts.
There were more people from Jiemeng City, because of the identity of Elder Zhou Yang, as well as the influence of the six major families, especially the arrival of the six Jindan masters, so that the city lord Qing Xuzi also made an exception and had a deep conversation with the six masters.
The rest of the elders of Jiemeng City were also present, as well as many sects, families, and merchants, among which the Fa Clan Hall gave the heaviest congratulatory gifts.
Finally, the unveiling was presided over by Qingxuzi and the masters of the six families, which pushed the opening ceremony to the top of the world.
After the celebration, Yangtianfang City held a banquet to entertain guests from all over the world, and it lasted for a whole day and a night.
Zhou Yang doesn't like this kind of occasion very much, but he is a major shareholder, so he can only stubbornly accompany the smiling face and frequently raise a glass to the show.
After the feast, after seeing off the guests, he let out a long breath and ran back to the mansion like a smoke.
