Chapter 843: Falling Mountain City
It's not that Yaheng they don't have confidence in Ouyang Feng, but things really have to worry Yaheng and a few people, according to the previous plan, Ouyang Feng and they should have gotten in touch with the arranged contact, this is Yaheng They strongly requested, hoping to be sure of Ouyang Feng's safety, Ouyang Feng also agreed at that time, and informed Yaheng and the three of them of the route without concealment, but after such a long time, the people sent by Yaheng did not get in touch with Ouyang Feng and them, which is not a good sign.
At this time, Ouyang Feng and his party were sweating profusely, their clothes were in tatters, and they were walking through the mountains and forests with difficulty, the reason why they were so embarrassed was because they didn't use any spiritual power or fighting energy, and they relied on their own physical strength like ordinary people.
The reason why this is the case is because once you use spiritual power and fighting energy, you will leave some residual breath more or less, and although these insignificant breaths are difficult to find, there are some demonic beasts that are very sensitive to these, in order to get rid of the pursuers that may exist behind, so not long after leaving the cave, everyone changed a direction, and all the breath was in a hurry like ordinary people, and because they temporarily decided to change their route, they couldn't get in touch with Yaheng's people in time.
After more than ten days of the war, Ah Zi Cat and Big Panya, who had fun every day, were reluctantly put into the spirit beast bag, Ouyang Feng and his party changed into clean clothes and walked out of the forest, and came to a city called Luoshan, the scale of this Luoshan City is not large, compared to Qingyuan City, the difference is not a little bit, even Gael's Ula City can't be compared, but what surprised Ouyang Feng and them was. It's a small town that's very lively. The streets are full of people and traffic. The shops along the street are even more prosperous.
I found a restaurant casually, and after a beautiful meal, the monkey inquired from the guy that the reason why this place was so prosperous was because of the Qingyuan Guild.
Falling Mountain City, located in the west of the center of the continent, used to be a small town at most, all these years. The Qingyuan Guild continued to grow and develop, and the trade routes gradually expanded, penetrating the entire continent, so that while developing, they also opened stores in various cities along the way, and in various considerations, the goods sold in the shops in each region had their own characteristics and benefits.
For example, the shops in one area mainly sell deep-sea seaweed and weapons, and the other area sells elixirs and rare metals on the seabed, and the two adjacent areas deal in different goods. In this way, those merchants who are purchasing, and those who are purchasing, will go to the corresponding area separately. Gradually, a fixed sales range is formed.
Andura's decision was not too sure at first, but after years of practice, it was only a few years for the businessmen to be unsuitable from the beginning to the current recognition.
The reason why Andran made this decision is because of the reason for strengthening the management of more and more stores, although if the goods sold by each store are comprehensive, it may be better for sales, but it will become more and more difficult for the overall management, after all, the goods of the Qingyuan Guild store are uniformly allocated by the guild, if the whole system is operated, it will be very cumbersome for scheduling and transportation, but if the category is divided, the sales management will be much easier, and for the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce, which is extremely lacking in trustworthy managers, this is also a helpless method at that time。
At that time, after Andulan made this decision, he still thought that he would gradually return to the right path after cultivating enough credible talents in a few years, but he did not expect that this helpless move at that time not only did not bring any losses to the Chamber of Commerce, but gradually began to rebound after a slight decline in business volume for a short period of time, and the sales performance continued to rise, and, after those businessmen adapted, they also gave high praise and recognition to this strategy of the Qingyuan Guild, and some large chambers of commerce also followed suit and concentrated on selling certain goods。
As for those small businessmen, they were really uncomfortable at the beginning, they were in different regions, and they often purchased a commodity that could be done locally, but since the Qingyuan Guild changed its business model, they had to go outside the neighboring cities to be able to buy it, which increased the cost, and these small businessmen who couldn't make much money at all were naturally full of resentment.
However, after a period of time, these small businessmen were stunned to find that in fact, this did not bring them any losses, on the contrary, they had to earn more than before, and the extra transportation costs could be filled by the profits from rising prices, and there was a lot of surplus, which made those small businessmen happy one by one, and the smiles on their faces became more and more bright, so that these small businessmen began to try to go to Qingyuan shops in farther places to purchase goods that were not available locally, and after coming back, because there was no competition from Qingyuan Guild stores, it was quite sought-after to buy, especially the first few small businessmen, one or two years later, it was a lot of money, and even set up a small chamber of commerce.
Of course, in addition to those small businessmen, Andulan also took into account those large and small chambers of commerce, their purchase volume is larger, and the categories are more, if they are also purchased everywhere in various regions, not to mention the transportation cost, it is too time-consuming, more, after discussing with Delia, Andulan and Delia will set up a full-category sales place in each region, but these places are not retail, only do large-scale wholesale, and also serve as a regional secondary school warehouse, and Luoshan City is such a place.
A large area in the southeast corner of Luoshan City has now become the territory of the Qingyuan Guild, and many large warehouses have been built, and a defensive ring similar to a military camp has been built around it, in which there are a large number of guards in the town, even if one or two Jindan wants to rob and retreat.
Ouyang Feng and the others had eaten, and went to the place that the guy said to have a look, there, compared to the previous street, it was more crowded, a row of carriages were parked on both sides of the street outside the warehouse gate, leaving only two carriages in the middle of the road, on the side of the road, there were groups of strong men either sitting in the carriage and bragging loudly, or shouting at the roadside tavern to eat Haisai, and the guys in those restaurants and taverns were also busy one by one, and occasionally they would say a few words to those strong men with open chests and backs。
After turning a corner, I came to the north area, which was much quieter than the warehouse, and although there were many horse-drawn carriages parked on both sides of the road, they were all beautifully decorated and luxuriously decorated, not comparable to those tattered carriages that hauled goods.
Here, a string of three-storey small buildings with uniform styles and different colors on the outer layer are lined up on both sides of the street, and businessmen in brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes are accompanied by their respective guards in and out of each small building with a smile, some of them still have those bills in their hands, and their faces are not lacking in pride.
Ouyang Feng was also very curious, and entered a small building painted with a pale yellow appearance, as soon as he entered the door, Ouyang Feng was a little stupid, this place is completely different from other shops in this world, there is no counter, as soon as he enters the door, he is faced with a long bar counter with metal guardrails, divided into various windows, it looks similar to the bank's business hall, the only difference is that the rest area is not a cold bench, but a warm small round table, and the waiters shuttle through it with tea and desserts, providing due service for those waiting merchants.
The more Ouyang Feng looked, the more interested he became, and he wanted to go around more, but under the reminder of Hongshang, he remembered that they didn't have much time to delay now, so he had to retreat and let go of his divine sense to check, which could be regarded as having a certain understanding of this place.
These small buildings, in fact, is the sales hall, but the sale of goods and types of different, businessmen in the hall to see the goods, place orders, pay, and then the staff will open bills, businessmen with bills and their own fleet queue into the warehouse area, under the supervision of the staff, according to the bill to extract the corresponding goods, this process sounds simple, but very effective, than in the past businessmen swarmed up but more rules.
Of course, there are also some loopholes and unsoundness, but those who don't care about the overall situation, Ouyang Feng believes that they will be solved slowly, and he will not worry about those little things.
On the way out, when passing near the warehouse gate, the rice bucket was pleasantly surprised to find two minotaurs, Ouyang Feng saw the eager eyes of the rice bucket, and said with a smile: "Do you want to go and talk? The rice bucket smiled, didn't say much, and strode towards the two minotaurs standing not far from the warehouse.
Qingfeng smiled and said, "This thing, I finally met my fellow clan, look at his excitement." ”
The monkey smiled wickedly and said, "When you look at the rice bucket, you always glance at the female minotaur, I think this product should be in heat." Hongshang glared at the monkey and said, "Don't say it so ugly, in fact, you should find a woman for the rice bucket." ”
The rice bucket was not as dirty as the monkey said, but of course, he was impressed by the slightly smaller female minotaur standing behind the two tall minotaurs.
To be honest, he had also seen some minotaurs before, especially at Qingyuan Wharf, where there were many minotaurs fighting over there, and he would go there to chat with them when the rice bucket was fine, but he had never seen a young female minotaur, this was the first time he had seen it, and it was one of the reasons why he was so eager to go over and see it, but it was not about estrus as the monkey said.
The rice bucket is not good at words, and although those minotaurs are also very enthusiastic about the rice bucket, they are still wary of the rice bucket in their hearts, after all, if there is one more person to grab the business, they will make a lot less. (To be continued......)
