Chapter 24: Opening a Shop
Di Renjie and Li Yuan made up their minds like this, even if Li Yuan had infinite expectations for Di Renjie in his heart, but he never thought that his vision was limited to him, in his opinion, Di Renjie was going to do a great career in Dongyue Kingdom, however, it was such a shop, it was such a young shopkeeper who looked no more than twenty, and his extraordinary life has since begun, not only in Dongyue Kingdom, but in the entire land of Shenzhou.
Half a month later, there is one more shop in the corner of a market in Lin'an City, this shop covers a wide area, but it is very decorated, antique, this shop is called "Changping Store", a very simple name, some people around know that this is a person from Changping County opened a shop, said that it was a head catcher in Changping County for 20 years, and now he has been dismissed, so in order to make a living, he came to Lin'an City to open a shop.
This head catcher naturally refers to Li Yuan, however, although Li Yuan is in charge of this store, he does not claim to be the owner, and over time, everyone knows that there is a mysterious shopkeeper behind this shop, but who it is does not know.
Changping store is mainly engaged in buying and selling news, the entire Lin'an City and even the entire Zhenjiang Mansion all the big and small news can be sold, although Di Renjie said that it is the real news to be verified, but in fact, Di Renjie knows that this is difficult to verify for the time being, so when it opened, it was bought with silver no matter what news, of course, these news are very cheap, not long after, the people of the entire Lin'an City know that there is a peculiar shop here, a store specializing in buying and selling news, about one or two silver can buy about twenty news, and Di Renjie set the rules, selling a news is at least one or two, and then the price will be raised arbitrarily depending on the severity of the news.
Although Li Yuan felt that it seemed that he was making too much money like this, it was estimated that no one would be willing to buy the news, but Di Renjie let him do it, and he naturally had his reasons.
At the beginning, Li Yuan couldn't be busy at all, because he was alone in the whole store, Di Renjie did not come forward, fortunately, the next day, Di Renjie recruited three people, each with five taels of silver a month, which is also very good in Lin'an City, these three people are a few honest people in Changping County, which is also Di Renjie observed for a long time and discovered, this kind of thing must be tight, although it is not excluded that these people go to buy and sell news privately, but Di Renjie doesn't care about those, what he has to do now is to collect all the news scattered throughout Lin'an City。
Of course, there are some people who come to sell news but need a price, and they also think that their news is unusual and worth more money, which depends on Di Renjie's own discretion.
In the beginning, naturally many people wanted to come to the trap and kidnap them, especially some gangsters, but who was Li Zhutou? As for such a gangster who cheated money, he could see at a glance that the other party could not succeed at all.
And as long as there is some conscience or a person who has the city government in his heart, he will not waste time here for these few taels of silver, that is called no future, so the news received at a high price is generally some very good news, of course, the other party also has to ensure that it will not continue to be revealed, in fact, it doesn't matter to Di Renjie whether to disclose it or not, because he is the base camp here, and there is no need for others to collect the money and spread the news they know everywhere, so in the end, the business is still for Di Renjie.
However, there is no doubt that the early investment in such a store is very huge, buy those news, and at the same time various screening errors and omissions, etc., Di Renjie is also busy behind the scenes, and even, he asked Red Sleeves to help, Red Sleeves is a killer in the end, and she is actually very familiar with Lin'an City, some valuable news will soon be screened out, and some useless ones will be thrown aside, however, Rao is so, the store has also collected thousands of messages in a month, and there are hundreds of messages on average every day, although many are repeated, but because it is a new store, Di Renjie doesn't care, anyway, they all eat first, he can continue to plan later.
The repetition of the message was solved later, because the reputation of the store has gradually opened, everyone knows that the shop that buys and sells the news is really rich, and then Di Renjie set a rule, but whoever comes to sell the news, you need to provide half of the news, and the other half If the Changping store does not have it, it will give a complete message of silver; if the Changping store has the other half of the news, then the store will give the other half of the news, one by one, as long as it is similar news, then the store does not have to pay silver, after all, both sides know the news, unless there are some discrepancies, the Changping store will give some as compensation as appropriate。
In fact, most of the people who come to buy and sell the news are some people in the market, adding oil and vinegar to the big and small things they see to package, Di Renjie naturally accepted it at first, but after a month, everyone's ability to recognize people has increased a lot, plus there is Li Zhutou, there are fewer and fewer such things, and the people who know this store are not ordinary, and some petty theft can't hide it from them.
By this time, Di Renjie had invited a total of five people in the store, including Li Zhutou's six, and if he and Red Sleeves were included, it would be eight.
The news received by Changpingdian has also been subdivided, Dongyue people's livelihood, hearsay, demon gods and ghosts, demon demons, practice, Dongyue family, Dongyue sect, Dongyue forbidden land, imperial court institutions, royal anecdotes, five elements exercises, five elements spells, runes, refining weapons, weapons, marksmanship, swordsmanship, In many sections such as the sword technique and even the land of Shenzhou, a lot of news has been harvested in a month, however, the truly valuable news can be said to be less than ten fingers, that is to say, among these thousands of messages, there may not even be ten valuable ones.
And it is such a store, it has already cost Di Renjie three thousand taels of silver, and it has cost a lot to buy the store in the early stage, and after a month, the news of the sale is less than one hundred taels, and because of the general news, many people of insight feel that this store does not have any useful news, and soon, Changping Store fell into an economic crisis, and the only one thousand taels of silver in Di Renjie's hand can not continue to support it at all.
Li Yuan was very panicked, because if Di Renjie bought it like this, the store would not be able to support it at all, and it would close down next month.
Di Renjie was naturally aware of this problem, but this was also in his expectation, from the beginning, he didn't think that such a store could be opened smoothly, and then, he made an unexpected decision, he was willing to exchange the three most valuable news in his hand for a message in the hands of some people of insight in Lin'an City, and such a thing quickly spread in Lin'an City.
By the next day, there were already more than a dozen elegantly dressed people with strange faces at the door of the store, these people were not ordinary at first glance, and because Di Renjie's store had already made a name for itself in Lin'an City, everyone knew the strength, and they seemed to have some thoughts in their hearts.
