Chapter 9 Exploit your strengths and avoid your weaknesses
But this time and space is a bit like the warlord period, where more guns and big fists are the truth, and social management also believes in the principle of strength and relies on strength to suppress.
"Hehe, boy, don't you just want a heel, my surname is Ji, my name is Ji Wuru, the leader of the third law enforcement team of the Qingyan Town Monk Club!
"In addition, your goods are worth less than 100 spirit stones. If you want to reopen, please remember that you must pay all the spirit stones you owe and complete the procedures before opening, otherwise, the next time you meet us, you won't only be fined 500 spirit stones!" Ji ruthlessly finished speaking, and left with two assistants.
Fang Yuan's face turned pale.
Seeing that the three monks were like robbers, Fang Zhi and Fang Mingyang couldn't help at all.
"Boss, what should I do?" Looking at the empty counter (which had not been destroyed), Fang Zhi and Fang Mingyang asked.
"It doesn't matter, let's go to Fang City and have a look. Fang Yuan knew that there must be something he hadn't figured out.
Fang Yuan took the two of them and wandered around the market again.
This time, he changed his habit of being more indifferent in the past, and talked more with the small traders in the market. He knows that only by looking at his eyes, he can only see part of the truth, and some rules are invisible and invisible, so he has to move his mouth.
After three days of shopping in Fang City, Fang Yuan finally figured it out.
All the spiritual objects, elixirs, spirit stones and other industries related to cultivation in Qingyan Town are controlled by the monk club, and others must not be moved.
If Fang Yuan wants to set up his own shop or trading house, it is not impossible, it must be in the designated area, and it must be reported to the club, and it must pay a certain amount of taxes every month. This tax is roughly about 15% of the turnover. The tax is not charged to the buyer, only to the seller.
Judging from the situation on the spot, Fang Yuan's best way is to rent a shop in Fang City. Monthly rent and management fees can be paid, and taxes will be paid by the city.
The management of the fang market is similar to that of the vegetable market in the original time and space. If you want to enter, the threshold is high, as long as you bear the corresponding expenses and work hard, you can also make a little money.
Fang Yuan found himself in a predicament.
According to the rules of Qingyan Town, it is equivalent to that he must do business in a designated place in order to be reasonable and legal, and to survive normally, but the existence of the [Immortal Cultivation Auxiliary System] requires that his business must be relatively independent and as secret as possible.
Renting a shop in Fang City seems like a good idea, but the other party is really inappropriate. In this way, Fang Yuan might as well buy it directly in the market, and after buying it, pull it to his residence in Willow Lane.
In fact, the Monks Club will not care about any materials purchased in Qingyan Town. But if you want to sell here, you have to go through the shops.
However, Fang Yuan inquired about the fact that although the talismans, magic weapons, and pills refined by the monks could not be set up outside the designated commercial area, they could be operated in temporary stalls in the Fang Market. Moreover, it seems that there is no management fee or anything.
The only trouble is this kind of temporary transaction, and the management of the market does not bear any risk responsibility. This can be regarded as providing a way out of life for casual cultivation that needs to be traded temporarily.
After a few days of market research and thinking, Fang Yuan temporarily gave up the plan to open a shop. His [Fang's Trading Company] sign was also taken off.
Who said that you must open a shop? If you don't open a shop, it is possible to make a lot of money in silence.
So, Fang Yuan arranged for Fang Mingyang to be responsible for supplying the goods in and out of Fang Village, and he and Fang Zhi became frequent visitors to Qingyan Zhenfang City.
Because of the system's ability to "recognize things", it didn't take long for Fang Yuan to grasp several core relationships between the supply and demand of the goods in Qingyan Town and the system:
First of all, if Fang Yuan wanted to make money, he could only buy spirit grass, elixirs, strange things and other transactions from reality to the system, such as encountering something like the dragon's bone, Fang Yuan would make a fortune. Of course, that's a special case. Ordinary low-grade elixir spirit grass or other foreign-grade herbs, etc., Fang Yuan could only get 10-15% of the profit. Of course, since no taxes are paid, this profit is actually very high.
Secondly, it is also possible for Fang Yuan to trade magic weapons, pills, etc. to the system. It's just that most of the systems are relatively low when valuing, and Fang Yuan not only can't make money, but also loses about 5% slightly. Unless Fang Yuan was in a hurry to ask for experience points for him to cultivate, the more this kind of trading would be, the more he would lose. In the long run, it's not cost-effective.
Again, he studied from the actual price of pills, talismans, etc. to the price of the system, and if he really wanted to make money, he had to engage in "production"!
What does it mean?
It's literal. For example, Fang Yuan's method of buying and trading to the system from reality seems to be good, but when he buys ordinary herbs on a large scale and puts them into the system, this will definitely impact the real price of Qingyan Town, and it will definitely attract the attention of the monks' club! This kind of practice, if you want to be long-term, can only be on a small scale.
And production, for other monks or forces, is very troublesome, or more difficult. But for Fang Yuan, it was relatively easy.
For example, the rune seal, the first-class low-grade fireball rune seal, the system price is 10 spirit stones, and the fang market is 12 spirit stones, and this price difference can be ignored. However, there are many more varieties of runes and seals in the system than in reality.
For example, the muddy talisman of the same first-level lower grade, such as the first-level low-grade light body talisman, there is no one in the market at all, but the system has.
The system has, and it is impossible for Fang Yuan to directly sell the talisman technique.
All kinds of spells, as the [Immortal Cultivation Assist System], are not supplied to Fang Yuan without restrictions, but only one set. That is to say, all of Fang Yuan's exercises can be bought, as long as you have spirit stones, but you can only buy one set.
After Fang Yuan cultivated, he could pass on this spell to others, if Fang Yuan was the head of the sect, he could also inherit it as an immortal sect, and even this spell could be copied, but that was Fang Yuan's business. Only one set of the system is sold.
Fang Wan's idea was: After cultivating to the fourth level of qi refining, he began to cultivate various spells, including rune seal techniques, alchemy techniques, alchemy array techniques, etc. Then, by refining and cultivating, he constantly improved his cultivation.
Because there is an important premise, the pill refined by Fang Yuan is also to be purchased by the system, and the price is only 5% lower than that of Fang City. Think about it, don't worry, think about it, what kind of price is this? This price is higher than the price in the market!
Because, the price given by the system was 5% lower than the retail price, but the question was, could Fang Yuan retail a few pills like other loose cultivators? Because he has that time to spend in the market, he might as well refine a few more talismans and refine a furnace of Dan, right?
Thinking from this point of view, his most correct approach, except for those things that can't be bought on the market, everything else, he should sell to the system, receive spirit stones from the system, and then buy all kinds of materials in reality + buy scarce materials in reality from the system, and refine them into various runes, pills, magic weapons, etc., and then sell them to the system.
This is a virtuous circle, from which you can obtain profits and economic value, except for the small problem of husbandry, finance, law, land, etc. are easily solved.
As for the [Fang's Trading House], it will definitely be opened. But for now, it's good to open it in Fang Village first. One day, Fang Yuan will open the [Fang's Trading Company] in Qingyan Town, and he will open it with great fanfare.
