Chapter 60: The Wanbao Society
Yu Fenghan continued: "Senior brother, this mission of returning to the sect is quite special, the bitter master is a Jianghu man who was besieged and killed by the Black Wind Village and his body was hung in the village. β
"This person is not well-known in the rivers and lakes, but this person has another identity...... That's the informant of Wanxinlou. β
"Wanxin Building?" After Fang Ze listened, he became a little interested.
Wanxinlou is a sect that operates the martial arts ranking in the rivers and lakes.
This sect has always been mysterious, and in addition to martial arts rankings, there is also an intelligence business.
Who the owner of Wanxinlou is, and what means are useful to grasp the news of the rivers and lakes, are not known.
I just know that this sect is quite powerful and mysterious at the same time.
In a way, Wanxinlou and Wanligui Sect have some similarities.
Yu Fenghan nodded and continued, "Yes. β
"This time, the task I received was sent by Wanxinlou to pick up the body of the informant who was hung in the village of Heifeng Village to 'go home'."
"Because it's a 'medicine list', the other party gave me a good remuneration and paid me in advance, and the reward is the card in your hand, senior brother."
"This card is an invitation to Wanxinlou's [Wanbao Club]."
Fang Ze listened to it and knew it in his heart.
The 'medicine list' that Yu Fenghan said just now is an insider saying that only the sect of Wanli Sect understands it.
The so-called medicine list means that this mission of returning to the sect is not a simple attempt to get the body of the bitter master, but a task that can only be completed with a lot of twists and turns and even risks.
The tasks that the Wanli Gui sect took on were not all so smooth.
For example, if a core disciple of the Bitter Lord Sect dies in the course of his travels, and the body is not kept by other friendly sects or Jianghu people, but is controlled in the hands of the murderer.
At this time, if you do thousands of miles to return to the sect, then there will be a lot of things involved.
Either coordinate and communicate, or exchange some benefits, or grab it.
For example, some sufferers die in it while exploring dangerous secret realms.
If you want to return to your sect, you have to go to that dangerous place first to find the body.
Such a list is called a medicine list.
The meaning is that this single has 'disease' and 'poison', and it must be unraveled with 'medicine' in order to make this single meaning.
The first time Fang Ze made a return to the Xuanwu Palace for the first time, he actually made a medicine list.
At that time, the elder of the Xuanwu Palace, Qin Ji, was in arrears, and he only wanted to give the normal fee for returning to the sect, but in the end, he was asked by Fang Ze for a double price.
This is also a common practiceβββ but for any medicine list, the cost of returning to the sect will at least double.
The rules for making a medicine list are the consensus of the sect, so when Fu Huiyu heard that Xuanwu Palace wanted to give a general fee, her first reaction was that Xuanwu Palace was too much of a chicken thief and wanted to add money.
Just now, Yu Fenghan said that this time it was a medicine order, and depending on the danger of this order, the bitter master should pay the excess fee.
As for Wanxinlou's [Wanbao Club] invitation, Fang Ze also knew.
In addition to operating the Jianghu martial arts rankings, Wanxinlou is also involved in the intelligence business.
And the intelligence business has done more, and some matchmaking services have been derived to provide trading opportunities.
Wanbao Club is one of them.
The so-called Wanbao Club is that Wanxinlou used its own information and reputation advantages to form a bureau.
There are many chivalrous people on the rivers and lakes, and they need all kinds of natural treasures.
Whether it's crafting weapons and treasures, or smelting itself, or other uses.
But the treasure is different from other resources.
Pills, weapons, most of these can be traded for silver, and the treasures of heaven and earth, because they are very rare, only a few people will come to exchange for money, and most of the time they are bartered.
It is to exchange the natural materials and earth treasures that you don't need for what you need.
In general, these treasures will not be exchanged for money.
The reason is very simple, if you want to exchange for money, it is very easy to make a move, but it is difficult to change it back.
And in exchange for it, it's not at this price.
The selling price is relatively cheap, but it is more than twice as expensive to buy back, which is too cost-effective.
Eventually, everyone became accustomed to bartering in the trading of natural materials and treasures.
Or in exchange for other conditions.
Wanxinlou's Wanbao Club is such a bureau.
The knights who get the invitation letter can meet somewhere at the appointed time, and communicate with each other, mainly to trade natural treasures.
The total number of invitation letters is limited, and Wanxin Building provides the letter holder with a commitment to verify the authenticity of the treasure and ensure safety during the transaction.
The Middle Wanxin Building only charges a fee for organizing and providing a venue.
The way is a percentage of the pump.
Fang Ze knew that this Wanbao would be.
But haven't participated yet.
He looked at the black card in his hand and said, "This is the invitation to the Wanbao Club?" β
"It's the first time I've seen you."
"If that's the case, they're willing to pay for it, and the invitation is worth a lot of money."
Yu Fenghan smiled.
Yu Fenghan said: "Senior brother, you also know that Wanxinlou has always been mysterious, and his thinking is different from ordinary people. β
"Although they gave this invitation to the Wanbao Society, the person who went may not be me."
Fang Ze nodded.
He has an understanding of the concept of Wanxinlou's operation of the Wanbao Club.
The invitation letter of the Wanbao Club does not have to be given to a specific person, but anyone with the invitation letter can go.
And the way to issue invitations is not directly to others, but as a reward for Wanxinlou to do tasks, or a gift to express goodwill to customers, or other things.
When giving the invitation letter, Wan Xinlou didn't particularly care about the identity of the other party, as long as the other party had the level of three or four changes in the physical realm, he could send it out.
Special circumstances can also be treated specially, and even because of the contribution to Wanxinlou, the invitation letter of the Wanbao Club will be given to characters other than martial artists.
For example, businessmen.
However, this does not detract from the style of the Wanbao Club.
Wan Xinlou's thinking is like this.
They believe that no matter who the invitation is given in the first place, because of the credibility of Wanxinlou and the name of Wanbao Club, this invitation is valuable.
If it is a master who is qualified and strong to participate in the Wanbao Club transaction, he will not transfer the invitation if he needs it, so the master with strength will definitely participate.
And if it was just an ordinary Jianghu person who got the invitation letter from the Wanbao Club at the beginning, then as long as he was rational, he would understand that he didn't have the strength to trade when he participated in the Wanbao Club, so it was better to transfer the invitation, or sell it for a good price, or exchange it for the services and resources he needed, or simply do a personal favor.
If it is sold and transferred, then the person who bought the invitation letter will definitely not make a losing transaction, so he must have the strength and need to trade.
If the person holding the invitation is not strong enough and is killed and robbed, then if the person who grabs it knows the goods, then the above cycle will be repeated, either sell the invitation to a more powerful person, or go in person if he has a need.
Of course, there may be exceptions, that is, there are people who do not have the strength and do not need it, but they just want to go to Wanbao Club to open their eyes, and they have to go without trading.
That's no problem, since this person thinks so, it means that either he has no strength but a deep background, and he doesn't care about consuming the resources of an invitation letter and the invitation letter in vain, or this person attaches great importance to Wanbao Club or has great ambitions, and you are willing to do it Wanxinlou is also very welcome, even if you don't trade anything.
Therefore, no matter how things develop, it doesn't matter who the invitation letter is given at the beginning, as long as it circulates in the circle of the rivers and lakes, in the end, most of the invitations will still fall into the hands of the most powerful and most in-demand people.
After Fang Ze knew Wanxinlou's way of thinking and techniques of operating Wanbao Club, he admired it quite a bit.
This is an implicit fit with some laws in Fang Ze's previous life realm.
However, this is somewhat different from the perception of ordinary people.
At first, some people didn't understand.
But it turns out that Wanxinlou's thinking is right.
No matter which Wanbao Meeting, no matter who the invitation was sent to at the beginning, the people who went in the end were still the most powerful and eager to trade.
And the invitation letter of the Wanbao Club is becoming more and more famous in the rivers and lakes, and it is already considered hard currency.
Every time the invitation to the Wanbao Club is issued, it will be hyped up once in the rivers and lakes.
Although the price is different each time according to demand, it can be worth three or five thousand taels of silver when the price is low, and it can be raised to fifteen thousand or six thousand taels of silver when the price is high.
Such fluctuations are that this invitation is worth a thousand dollars to those in need, but not so much to those who don't.
Fang Ze also had to collect the treasures of heaven and earth, and cultivate the immortal bones and the true pupil of life and death in the Nine Reincarnations of Life and Death Deed Exercises.
This invitation is of great value to him.
Now, Yu Fenghan's reward for returning to the sect this time is an invitation to the Wanbao Club, which is quite worthwhile.
"This medicine order, in all fairness, regardless of the risk of accidents, Wanbaolou is very kind."
"You won't lose anything when you return to your sect this time."
Fang Ze said to Yu Fenghan.
"I'm definitely not going to trade at a loss!" Yu Fenghan said.
Fang Ze nodded and said, "Using this invitation to exchange for the Purple Thunder Knife, you have lost a little." β
Yu Fenghan smiled and said: "I know that my strength is not enough to trade at the Wanbao Club, I originally wanted to consider selling the invitation or opening my eyes, and if I sell it, I will also use the money to buy a good set of swords." β
"Senior brother gave me this purple thunder knife, I was quite satisfied, and I also saved the trouble of trading."
Fang Ze smiled and said, "In exchange for the Purple Thunder Knife, you still have a bit of a loss." β
"In this way, if I get a good sword commensurate with the Purple Thunder Knife, I will give you a set of swords."
"Good!" Yu Fenghan was not hypocritical, and immediately agreed.
"Okay, let's go." Fang Ze said.
"Senior brother, where are we going?" Yu Fenghan asked.
Fang Ze smiled faintly.
"Black Wind Village."
"The owners of the Black Wind Village have been ambushed, so let's cut the grass and eradicate the roots."
"Let's go and level the Black Wind Village."
Fang Zedao.
