40 Chan (4)

However, the old man only smiled lightly, and looked at Huang Chang again:

"For Ah Chang, some money income is not his goal at all. Even if you have tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars of income every year, it's of no use to Ah Chang, right?"

Huang Chang couldn't help nodding, the old man was really as wise as a torch, and he could see what he was thinking in his heart at a glance.

"What you are saying is that the gold and silver in the mortal world are useless to me, and what I need to exchange for these goods is the spirit stones used by the cultivators, or the materials that contain spiritual energy and can be used to perform immortal magic and Taoism. And what I hope to build is not an ordinary trade shop, but a similar ...... The kind of splendid pavilion in the capital city of pickaxe, mainly facing the monks' business pavilion. The items sold in the future will all be immortal cultivators as the main customers, and even the innate martial artists are actually not among the targets. ”

"Hiss......"

Several uncles and uncles in the room suddenly sounded a burst of inhalation, the Pickaxe Capital City Splendid Pavilion is famous, although the Chen family is far away in Baoguo, in the eyes of others, it can probably only be regarded as a group of rural businessmen, but they have also heard of their names.

And Huang Chang opened his mouth to build a splendid pavilion, which ...... If it weren't for their nephew, who had really shown the things of the fairy family just now, they would have thought that this kid was crazy.

But Old Man Chen was very calm, looked at Huang Chang with a smile in his eyes for a while, and suddenly waved his hand at Uncle Chen:

"Boss, go and bring me the iron box at the end of my bed...... It's just pressed under the bed board all the time. ”

Uncle Chen was stunned, but he still got up and went out, and returned after a while, holding a flat iron box that looked quite old and worn. The old man opened the box, but this time Huang Chang was stunned for a moment - there was nothing else in the box, just a yellowish talisman, it seemed that it had been a few years, and the aura had been exhausted, and it had long lost its effectiveness.

"Ah Chang, I told you just now, I've seen people use this thing...... At that time, I went to the merchant pavilions that specialized in selling such immortal items with a few merchant partners and bought it, and it cost me more than two thousand taels of silver. ”

Huang Chang nodded-on Kunlun Mountain, the talisman also needs a spirit stone, and it is useless for immortal cultivators to ask for silver, if they don't pay a high price, it is impossible for them to accept silver money, so it is normal to sell it for more than two thousand taels of silver in the mortal world.

"Actually, at that time, I also wanted to do this kind of business, but it was only after I really came into contact with that class that I realized that I thought too simply. ”

The old man picked up the talisman that had long since lost its function from the iron box and put it in his hand, with an extremely complicated look on his face.

"I wasn't the most enthusiastic about it at the time, but I just bought a talisman to try and try to save my life. And the companion who used the talisman to survive the demonic event was - after he experienced the magic of the passage method, he sold almost all his family property and exchanged it for this kind of talisman and immortal household items, not only hoping to make a fortune, but also hoping to enter that class, so that himself, or his children, could have the opportunity to become a cultivator. ”

"I have a good relationship with him, and after a few contacts, I realized that this business is not easy to do - as I said before: people in need, he has not been in contact, and people do not trust him. And the regular customers he used to trust, people don't need this kind of thing at all, and they can't afford it. ”

It wasn't until nearly half a year later, when we met by chance, that he happily told me that he had found a way, and slowly began to get through the relationship, although he only made one or two businesses, the income was very high - at that time, he looked really smooth, and the clothes on his body and the complexion on his face were very different from before. ”

However, only a few months later, when I went back to look for him, I found that their house was gone, and it had been burned to the ground. When asked about the neighbors nearby, they only said that there was a sudden fire one night, and none of the dozens of people in the family ran out...... Even those who went to help put out the fire died outside the door. ”

"Later, by chance, I saw a few more goods that my companion had boughtβ€”and they appeared in the same shop where we had sold them. ”

Everyone present, including Uncle Chen, obviously heard this for the first time, and they couldn't help but be shocked when they heard the words, but Huang Chang remained silent, and it was not strange at all in his heart.

- Without the ability to protect himself, he dared to make a deal with those monks and innate martial artists. I also want to compete with those merchant pavilions who have immortal magic and Taoism, this is definitely self-defeating. Even on Kunlun Mountain, it is clearly said that "immortal cultivators are not bound by mortal laws", and those who can restrain immortal cultivators are only better than the other party's own morality.

Sure enough, I only heard Old Man Chen sigh next:

"From then on, I knew that it would be impossible for a sheep to snatch meat from the mouth of a lion and tiger, so I put it away, and never dared to think about it again. ”

Speaking of this, Old Man Chen looked at Huang Chang and said with a slight smile:

"Ah Chang, with your ability, you are not afraid of others making trouble. But do you know who opened the only store that sells this kind of goods here in Baonan County?"

"I heard that it is the property of the Hi family. ”

Huang Chang replied, Old Man Chen nodded first, and then shook his head:

"That's what I said to the outside world, but in fact, as far as I know, it's not the case - the Ji clan is a cultivator, and the really good immortal artifacts are not enough internally, they won't be sold to outsiders, and they have nothing to do with mortals like me at all. And this shop only sells some ordinary goods, so the Ji family did not run it themselves, they just borrowed a name to come out. The actual manager of the store should be the butler of Zhao of the Baohou Mansion. ”

Hearing this name, Huang Chang couldn't help but squint his eyes. And Old Man Chen continued:

"I heard that you have a bit of a conflict with the third housekeeper of the Baohou Mansion, so Su has not risen for a long time, and his foundation is shallow. But Ah Chang, at such a time, I'm afraid you shouldn't offend another butler of the Baohou Mansion?"

After listening to the old man's analysis, Huang Chang was convinced. I really didn't think about it before, just considering my own advantages, but I didn't think of the competition I might encounter.

Thinking of this, Huang Chang was suddenly interested, and sighed softly:

"You're right, it's too easy for me to think......"

As he spoke, he put away the items on the table. However, next to him, his third uncle Chen Yan stretched out his hand to block it.

"Ah Chang, wait. ”

Immediately, Chen Yan looked back at Old Man Chen:

"Father, didn't you often sigh before, saying that our Chen family has come to the end by relying on its own strength to get to this point. If you don't have a special opportunity, it's hard to go up again. Now that this opportunity is in front of us, we should give it up?"10
