Chapter 23 Traveling Merchants Trade Fair
After listening to Ye Li's explanation, Li Xifeng looked at him, it really didn't look like a fake, so he believed it a little, and said: "Ye Shaoxia, I really didn't expect that I would be able to recruit a master of the Spirit Mist Period by sending a commission to recruit guards from the Spirit Mist Period."
If you are really willing to serve as a guard on the trade floor for three days, it will really be a big advantage for our Chamber of Commerce.
Otherwise, I'll give you some more compensation, twenty medium-grade spirit stones really can't hire a spirit rune master in the Spirit Sea Stage.
Again, how about I make you the captain of the guards and take command of the other six guards?"
Hearing Li Xifeng's words, Ye Li hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Senior Li, you don't have to be like this, I am here for the task, obviously I completely accept the conditions you offered."
And I don't really want others to know about my cultivation in the Linghai period, so you still don't give me special treatment, I'm a teenager who has just left the house, serving as the captain of the guard, which is difficult to convince the public anyway.
And I'm not familiar with these things, so let someone else take the lead, at least I can accumulate some experience. ”
Hearing Ye Li's words, Li Xifeng hesitated a little, and was silent for a while before nodding and saying, "Okay, then I won't treat you specially, you are the last person on this mission, if you haven't found a place to stay, I can provide you with a room in this inn." ”
Hearing an old man in his sixties and seventies who called him a respectful name, Ye Li was really a little unaccustomed to it, and said, "Senior Li, you don't have to call me so politely, just call me Ye Li or Little Brother Ye."
I just arrived in Nightrain City today, and I really haven't found a place to stay yet, so it would be great if you could provide accommodation. ”
Li Xifeng looked at Ye Li, who really didn't have any son-in-law style, and finally nodded and said: "Brother Ye, then the old man will call you that, you don't want to call me a senior, I have dull qualifications, and I haven't cultivated as high as you in my whole life, so I really can't afford to be called a senior."
If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Li.
Since you haven't found a place to live yet, I'll go and tell the shopkeeper at once, I remember that the room next to it is still empty, and you can live here.
I'll take you to the trade fair early tomorrow morning, and we're still in the process of setting it up, so you can get acquainted with the environment and get to know the other six guards. ”
Ye Li said: "Then it's all up to Uncle Li's arrangement, I have no opinion." ”
It seemed that he also felt that Ye Li was very good at talking, and Li Xifeng's simple old face also showed a sincere smile.
After he walked out of the room, he took Ye Li to the counter of Lotte Inn to check in.
After receiving the key, Ye Li chatted with Li Xifeng again.
"Uncle Li, I don't know if there are any demon pills from the Spirit Sea Period for sale at the traveling merchant trade fair you held the day after tomorrow?"
Ye Li asked, this matter is what he is more concerned about, after all, he still has a few high-grade spirit stones, and he doesn't know how many Spirit Sea Stage Demon Pills he can exchange.
If there is sufficient support from the Spirit Sea Stage Demon Pill, it will be like constantly taking the Earth-level Heaven-level Pill to cultivate, and the speed will definitely be very fast.
Li Xifeng also remembered at this moment that Ye Li's original intention in taking over this entrusted task was not for that reward at all, but to find the demon pill of the Spirit Sea Period.
"Little Brother Ye, don't worry, although I don't have a business in the acquisition of demon pills, I have an old friend, Old Man Chen, who specializes in buying demon pills from the hunting teams in various demon beast habitats.
After the trade fair starts, you can buy it from him, and the price is definitely very reasonable. ”
Hearing Li Xifeng say that the demon pill was being sold, Ye Li finally put his mind at ease and said, "That's good, so I'll rest assured." ”
After the two talked for a while, Li Xifeng also invited Ye Li to have dinner together before returning to their rooms.
Nothing happened all night, and the next morning.
Li Xifeng and Ye Li got up early, and after breakfast, he took Ye Li to the venue of the trade rally.
All the way out of the south of the city, the two of them followed the road outside the city towards the hilly area in the distance.
Ye Li casually chatted with Li Xifeng and said, "Uncle Li, are all the traveling merchants you participating in the trade from around here?"
Li Xifeng shook his head and said, "No, I wasn't originally from here, but after I wandered here, I settled here."
Being a traveling merchant is also a matter of the past 20 years, because I see that I really have no hope of cultivation.
There are a total of five people who are the main sponsors of this traveling merchant trade fair, and all five of us live in Katayama County, and the scope of business on weekdays includes the surrounding three neighboring counties.
The five of us are not young, and we don't know how many years we have been in business, so we decided to use our connections to establish a traveling merchant trade fair.
If this rally is done well, it will be possible to provide some special sales places for nearby traveling merchants.
After the establishment of the bazaar, it will be much easier for everyone to buy and sell goods.
The goods sold by our traveling merchants are often cheaper than those sold in the city, and although we do not have high-end goods, the low-end goods are the ones that are most in demand, and we have the capital to attract people to buy and sell in the bazaar.
Therefore, this trade fair is very important for us, as long as it can be carried out smoothly, our traveling trade fair will have a real foothold. ”
As he spoke, Li Xifeng's old farmer-like vicissitudes of life showed a childlike excited look.
After all, Ye Li was from a family, and he could somewhat understand the importance of this trade rally to the other party, and Li Xifeng and the five of them wanted to use this as a basis to attract all the traveling merchants in the vicinity to form a trade organization.
After the formation of the organization, there is the possibility of in-depth cooperation between many traveling merchants, and once a trade network is formed, everyone's resources can be shared, and there will be a greater scope of cooperation.
Li Xifeng walked all the way, while gushing to Ye Li about his ideas, their plan was not only to connect the traveling merchants of several counties near Katayama County, but to continue to connect them further away on this basis.
The originally loose tour merchants will be condensed into a relatively free whole, make full use of the advantages of everyone, integrate everyone's resources and share with each other, and achieve a real win-win situation.
In this way, the corner business that is not monopolized by the big chamber of commerce is enough to make the traveling merchants make a lot of money.
Listening to Li Xifeng talk about his various ideas, it took the two about half an hour to finally walk to the place of the trade meeting, and an open space surrounded by simple wooden stakes and fences appeared in front of Ye Li's eyes.
"Brother Ye, we have arrived, this is the venue of tomorrow's trade rally, we have to make the final preparations today, and put on some wooden platforms and numbers.
Fifty wooden platforms were to be placed in the center of the venue, because fifty merchants had already booked their places in advance, and the remaining open space around them was reserved for others who had not booked their places in advance. ”
