Chapter 2: Yongning City

I don't know if it's the effect of the fruit of the Buddha, Zhou Shang feels that with the exercise of his body, his mind becomes clearer and clearer, and even his work becomes more organized.

Since you have decided to go into the city, you can't go without a purpose.

This time I went to the city, in addition to solving the problem of supplementing food and seasonings.

Zhou Shang also wanted to know about the cultivation system of the Xuanling Realm, after all, the memory of the text content was too sloppy, and he couldn't even determine what level of fruit ability he was at this stage.

So after spending two days thinking about it, Zhou Shang wrapped other sun-dried leathers with tiger skins and went to Yongning City.

As the only big city in Fangyuan Baili, Yongning City is undoubtedly the most prosperous place here.

Different from the standard style buildings of the Blue Star City, Yongning City is like a garden locked with various wonders.

There are merchants gathered in the four markets that choke the passage in and out, and there are various ethnic territories located in various directions in the city, covering an extremely wide area.

Of course, there are also a variety of entertainment venues.

Should it be said or not.

Although the level of science and technology here is backward, this aesthetic level is really not bad.

Especially those young ladies who are dressed coolly and have silky eyes stand on the platform and wave to passers-by.

I have to say that it is a great test for Dao Xin, just after entering the city for a while, Zhou Shang saw that several young people did not withstand the test, and they were pulled into the building after half pushing!

It was really a weak mind, Zhou Shangmu did not squint, and went straight to Fang City.

According to the common sense given in memory, the monetary system of this world is somewhat chaotic, with some places trading money made of rare metals, some places trading with special ores, and some places bartering certain goods as currency.

As the largest city within a radius of 100 miles, Yongning City itself uses a coin called Daoyuan Tongbao, but because there are still four square markets, merchants gather everywhere.

Therefore, transactions in other currencies can also find corresponding channels here.

This undoubtedly made Zhou Shang a little happy, because what he was most afraid of doing business was the oligopoly, monopoly, especially the raw material supply link like him, once he faced the giants of the monopoly industry, he had no bargaining power at all.

And in a place like Yongning City, where merchants gather, as long as he is patient, he can shop around and find the most profitable sales channel.

But in life, the more carefully planned, the more gorgeous the failure.

What Zhou Shang didn't expect was that when he found a fur shop to explain his intentions, he was hit hard.

"There are still hunters in this world?"

The young man at the counter looked up and down at Zhou Shang, who was carrying a tiger skin bag, and his mouth was amazed.

“... Do you need fur raw materials? ”

Although he was a little curious about his buddy's reaction, Zhou Shang still firmly grasped the point of his entry into the city and asked.

"Need is needed, but you don't need to hunt fur raw materials."

Seeing Zhou Shang looking like a dirt bun entering the city, the guy grinned and explained: "You see, there are two types of furs in our industry, one is small fur, mainly mink and rat fur.

Because it is made of multiple pieces of small fur, it is very important for the unity of color, and the mink in the wild, because of nutritional problems, the texture of the fur is very poor, and the color is also uneven. So more than ten years ago, our fur shop in Yongning City began to use our own mink fur as materials! ”

In order to confirm his statement, the guy also pointed to the various colors of furs hanging in the store, and looked proud, "Look at this color, is that what wild minks can have, and the cost is low, so we don't accept this kind of raw materials." ”

"Let's talk about another kind of big hairy skin, such as foxes, badgers, raccoons, lions, tigers, etc., we don't accept these, because there is a special hunting team in the industry, and all the water is a cultivator who has entered the product, and a hunting trip is enough for us to use the goods for a year in a store. So the guest officer ...... You got it? ”

“... Your line is really professional! ”

Hearing this, although Zhou Shang was very calm on the surface, and could even speak politely, his heart was already cold.

After all, the memories in my mind are just general common sense for the entire Xuanling Realm, not some eternal truth.

And Yongning City has its own particularity, the more such a big city, the more serious the involution in the degree of industry segmentation.

What the guy is talking about is nothing more than how to improve product quality and reduce costs, but the consequence is not just that there are more beautiful furs in the fur shop!

Zhou Shang suddenly realized why he could stay in the hunter's hut for two months without anyone disturbing him, and he somewhat understood what the strange look in the buddy meant, but he still had some expectations, "Dare to ask the little brother, what about the other fur ......shops in Yongning City."

"It's all the same! Alas, looking at your appearance, you must have come from far away, right? You have to understand that the owners of the trading houses in this city are all human spirits, so at present, the fur shops up and down in Yongning City are all using this method. ”

Xu saw Zhou Shang's loss, and the young man was a little unbearable, and said again: "Maybe you can go to the homeless people's market to have a look, there are some merchants who wander around various villages and towns, maybe they can take a fancy to your leather goods, but this price..."

"Alas, a thousand words and ten thousand are still the same old saying. Even if you enter the wrong industry, my brother listens to our advice, the hunter's business is over, you can see how many idle hunter huts there are on the barren mountains in the southwest, take advantage of the fact that you are still young, hurry up and change your business! ”

Although the results were unsatisfactory, Zhou Shang also received a lot of information.

asked the young man for the address of the homeless market, and then thanked Zhou Shang, who walked out of the fur shop, did not fully believe the young man's words, but planned to visit a few more fur shops.

In one morning, Zhou Shang visited all the fur shops in Dongmiaofang City, and the results he got were the same as what the young man said.

Today's Yongning City fur industry, in order to improve its competitiveness, uses its own fur raw materials.

And he also took advantage of the gap between the merchants and learned about the various Taoist halls opened in Yongning City.

After inquiring about twenty or thirty Daoist halls, Zhou Shang not only had a basic understanding of the cultivation realm of the Xuanling Realm, but more importantly, he also had a unique view on the matter of cultivation.

Becoming a practitioner doesn't necessarily make a lot of money, but teaching others how to become a practitioner is bound to be a business that can make a lot of money!

According to Daoyuan Tongbao, that is, the purchasing power of Yongning big money, one big money can buy ten catties of grain, or two catties of meat, and the cheapest dojo in Yongning City, a month's tariff, also costs four hundred big money!

This does not include the cost of living, because the dojo does not care about food and housing, and there is no guarantee of the Baojiao Association.

And the reason why the Yongning City Daoist Hall is so bullish is because the people who can open the Daoist Hall here are at least cultivators of the middle grade or above.

Although Zhou Shang had never seen the power of a middle-grade martial artist, when he was searching for various gyms, he caught a glimpse of a dojo entering the hall to teach how to deal with the kickers.

The result of watching the battle made Zhou Shang a little frustrated, and when the cultivator moved, his muscles and bones roared, and every punch and kick had the power of ten thousand jun, and the earth and stones were cracked, if he didn't use the fruit ability, he probably wouldn't be able to bear it.

But even if you use the fruit ability, although it is not a problem in terms of defense, your speed is a big problem.

After all, no one will be afraid of an iron lump that can't be broken.

I can't keep the fruit in the state all the time.

After watching this competition, Zhou Shang's contempt for the natives of the world before entering the city had all disappeared.

Although they do not have a high level of science and technology, the creatures of the Xuan Ling Realm are undoubtedly extremely intelligent races.

They have gone far in other aspects besides technology, and the fruit ability that he thought he relied on was not so solid at this stage.

This discovery did not make Zhou Shang depressed, and even made him a little happy.

According to what he had learned, the cultivation system of the world in front of him was based on [Qi]!

The fruit ability is activated with [physical strength] as energy.

In other words, if he is able to practice, with the fruit ability.

It can be said that the future is bright!

But now it is still a little too far to think about this, and the first thing Zhou Shang needs to solve at present is the problem of food and clothing.

In the case of the fruitless search of large fur shops, Zhou Shang decisively came to the homeless market outside Yongning City.

If the fur shop in the fang market is a high-profit luxury business, then the so-called homeless people market is a low-level circulation business.

And what are the characteristics of the underlying circulation business? It's thin profits, it's a baht!

Because the people gathered there are the poor, and the goods produced are also sold to the poor, the profit margin is low, and the cost compression will be more ruthless.

Looking at the noisy and noisy bazaar, the people turned red and tore back and forth, and the strong smoke and fire came to their faces.

"It's... Inexplicably familiar! ”

Zhou Shang, who was standing outside the homeless market, felt the huge difference in Yongning City.

If Sidafang City is equivalent to a department store in the previous life, then the homeless market in front of you is equivalent to a market in remote rural areas?

Zhou Shang walked back and forth in the homeless people's market four or five times with a tiger skin bag on his back before he came to a stall that looked unusual.

In the homeless bazaar, most of the merchants pushed their own wagons, and some even simply spread a piece of cloth on the ground.

But this one has a serious stall, hanging the signboard of "Qiankun Commercial Bank", and more importantly, unlike the noisy disputes of other stalls, the customers who come to this stall are very respectful.

Many people in the homeless people's market will say a few words of hello to the stall owner before buying and selling things, and some of them will come up directly to hear the news.

In line with the central idea of asking more questions and making fewer mistakes in an unfamiliar environment, Zhou Shang also came to the stall in the same way.

Zheng Fu, the shopkeeper of Qiankun Commercial Bank, who was sitting in the stall, looked up at Zhou Shang who came to the stall, and raised his eyebrows, "Such a good body, what kind of hunter should you be!" ”
