Chapter four hundred and thirty eight, the little shopkeeper
"Where is Zifangzhai?" Rosen asked.
Huang Xiaoyuan blinked: "If you want to buy something, I will just pick up the goods and bring them to you."
"Kid, don't talk to me. We are in the same industry." Rosen glanced at him and said, "I know the price of these things, you can't make any money from them."
Huang Xiaoyuan let out a sigh of relief, but quickly picked himself up and pointed to a place on the corner of the street. He seemed a little proud: "My Zifangzhai is right there."
Rosen looked where his finger pointed.
I saw a shabby shop, very small in scale, like a roadside stall, but it barely had a facade, and even the words on the signboard were crooked.
Probably the words above were all written by this guy himself.
It's really quite shabby.
"I'm afraid you're the only one in this shop." Rosen looked at him questioningly.
Huang Xiaoyuan said dissatisfied: "What's wrong with one person? I can definitely run Zifangzhai into the most powerful store in Shenchun County."
"Okay, come on." Rosen turned and left.
"Don't leave in a hurry." Huang Xiaoyuan probably thought that Rosen was being generous, so he followed him: "Since we are colleagues, I will give you the market price. Do you want five spiritual stones for a bottle of Yulong Pills?"
The price reduction is astonishing.
"No, Shark Beauty won't eat this." Rosen said.
"You all know this, it's awesome."
"..."
This is probably due to the asymmetry of information. An ordinary citizen feels that he knows a lot if he can know what Gyokuryu Maru is and what Samebijin is.
Little did he know that his thoughts were actually very childish and funny.
"What about the other things? Do you want the best warm jade or Yu Haizhou? Let's think about it with Takong Shoes." Huang Xiaoyuan was confused.
Rosen suddenly stopped: "Do you have empty boots?"
"You really know the goods." Huang Xiaoyuan said proudly: "If you want the best warm jade and Yuhaizhou, I really don't have them. You have to go to other stores to bring them to make a difference. I really do have the Taikong boots."
Rosen was a little curious.
When did the shoe business start here?
Why don't you know?
"Come, follow me." Huang Xiaoyuan led Rosen to Zifangzhai, and kept saying: "You are lucky, I happen to have a pair of 90% new Takong boots here."
"You must have heard that the boots that are so popular in the imperial capital are worth millions of dollars."
"The store that produces the Skywalker Boots is called S.H.I.E.L.D. It is my idol and a legend in the business world. It is said that it only took less than three days to go from a small shop in a remote area to a small giant in the imperial capital today. Years of time.”
"I dare to boldly predict that within five years, SHIELD will definitely grow into a behemoth comparable to Xuantian Mansion."
Huang Xiaoyuan's eyes flashed with excitement.
This is probably the reaction of young fans when they mention their idols.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is indeed quite famous now.
Many of his past deeds have been uncovered, his growth history is legendary, and his reputation is huge.
"It's so awesome, I think it's just average." Rosen said with a smile.
Huang Xiaoyuan glanced at Rosen dissatisfied: "They all say that colleagues are enemies. It's true. You are too narrow-minded. Can't you admit that others are great?"
"...
"It is said that the boss behind S.H.I.E.L.D. is also a great person, and may even marry Her Highness the Princess. S.H.I.E.L.D. may become a royal businessman in the future."
"Cough cough cough cough." Rosen coughed.
"What are you doing?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
"If I could achieve that step, it would be worth my while to die. It's a pity that the damn old man only left me a shabby shop." Huang Xiaoyuan led him into Zifangzhai.
The store was indeed very shabby, with only a few bottles of ordinary elixirs on the counter, and some sundries behind it, but the bottles were wiped clean.
"I'll look for it for you. Someone from the imperial capital came here a few days ago. Unfortunately, he died at sea. My sharp eyesight allowed me to recognize the shoes and secretly took them off the body."
Huang Xiaoyuan rummaged through the debris.
Picked off a dead person? Rosen was speechless again.
"Found it." Huang Xiaoyuan dug out a pair of boots from the debris, but they were soaked by the sea water, and the shape of the boots was almost lost.
Rosen looked confused: "You call this 90% new? This is simply junk, okay?"
"Maybe Xiu Xiu can use it too." Huang Xiaoyuan said guiltily: "Then I can sell you a hundred spiritual stones cheaper, okay?"
Rosen frowned slightly.
But seeing Huang Xiaoyuan working so hard to sell items, I feel a little sad for no reason.
The shop is dilapidated, but he is still trying to run it.
This is probably the last wish of his evil father.
Huang Xiaoyuan lowered his head uneasily. There were many patches on his cotton-padded coat, and his shoes no longer fit his feet, but he was reluctant to change to new shoes.
He heard the term "Same Beauty" from others, so he came up with this plan, but unfortunately he never got any money out of it.
If the store wants to operate normally, it must require capital investment in the early stage, but he has no money, so he tries every means to make money.
He really wanted to own a shop of his own, so he refused to close a dilapidated shop.
Although it is shabby, at least this store belongs to you.
Rosen looked at Huang Xiaoyuan, saw the desire in his eyes, and inexplicably thought of the old shopkeeper in his heart.
The old shopkeeper was demoted to Huangshalin, and he spent all his efforts to build a Baiyu Pavilion.
The way Huang Xiaoyuan looked at Zifangzhai was the same as the way the old shopkeeper looked at Bai Yuge.
Rosen said silently: "Okay, I bought it."
Huang Xiaoyuan's eyes lit up.
Although one hundred spirit stones are not much, it is enough to decorate the shop a little and buy some cheap goods. It can even be used as a grocery store first.
This is the first step to success.
"But I only have ninety-nine spiritual stones, and I still have one spiritual stone left. I will give you some clothes and a pair of shoes as payment for your debt."
Rosen took out ninety-nine spiritual stones.
A newly bought coat and a brand new pair of Takong boots.
"Okay." Huang Xiaoyuan nodded hurriedly.
Rosen took the tattered pair of empty boots and whispered: "Work hard, you have great potential, and you will definitely be able to run a store as big as S.H.I.E.L.D. in the future."
"Hey, thank you for your kind words." Huang Xiaoyuan smiled and seemed to be in a very good mood.
Rosen turned and left.
This incident is just a small incident
A pair of empty boots is nothing to him, but the profit after selling them can support the dream of a young boy.
Good.
Huang Xiaoyuan quietly hid behind the debris, stroking the sparkling spiritual stone in front of his eyes, his eyes full of longing for the future.
"After living for eleven years, I finally have some hope. Damn it, dad, have you seen what I'm capable of? Hehe."
This was his first pot of gold.
While Huang Xiaoyuan was thinking about his next step, he took a new cotton-padded coat and wrapped it around his body. Sure enough, the new cotton-padded coat was warmer than the old one.
Then, his eyes fell on the new pair of shoes.
"Why does it look familiar?"
Huang Xiaoyuan was about to put it on when he was startled, as if thinking of some impossible possibility, and then he turned it over with trembling little hands.
There is a small mark with the word "sen" on the edge of the sole.
This is the mark of Takong boots. Only with this mark can we prove that the shoes are Takong boots.
It is said that many things in S.H.I.E.L.D. have this mark on them.
This is... the identity mark of the boss behind S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Holy shit!"
Huang Xiaoyuan was shocked.
A pair of walking boots can now be sold for 70,000 to 80,000 spirit stones.
Since it only exists in the imperial capital, it is not impossible to sell it for 100,000 if it is placed in a place like Shen Chun County.
Huang Xiaoyuan hurriedly grabbed his shoes and rushed out, but unfortunately Rosen was gone.
Traveling with you?
I think S.H.I.E.L.D. is just average.
"You are not from SHIELD, are you?" Huang Xiaoyuan muttered to himself.
Huang Xiaoyuan looked around.
By the way, they are outsiders. They bought cotton-padded clothes and must be going to sea.
Huang Xiaoyuan paused for a moment, then immediately closed the shop that no one was interested in, locked it carefully, and then trotted towards the city gate.
