The Baoshu tribe does not want to lose this dominance, and they definitely do not want this recipe to spread.
As for other wealthy families, once they do not benefit from the competition for the formula, will they be willing to accept all this? There is no doubt that the answer must be no.
Therefore, despite the fact that the Titan city-state seems to have made such a big splash, it seems to be blooming, everything is under their control, and all the forces are manipulated by them and allowed to play with them. In fact, there is an invisible crisis lurking here, and whenever things happen,
A slight change or a spark is very likely to cause the situation to quickly spiral out of control.
Jiang Yue guessed that Titan City-State would definitely think of this, and they would definitely prepare many plans to deal with it.
But things don't always go according to their predictions, especially if someone interferes with it, and the development of the situation may not make the Titan City-State what it wants.
Of course Jiang Yue had to obstruct it, and he had to push it in the direction of confrontation and creating conflicts.
At present, Jiang Yue is working hard to collect so much information and conduct various infiltrations. Isn't it just to get more information so that he can start from it?
Jiang Qiao thought about it carefully and nodded: "For now, this should be the only chance. It seems that we were very wise in not giving up on the Baoshu clan line before."
"The Baoshu Tribe line must be made good use of, but what I'm more worried about now is that Titan City-State has been silent. What tricks are they holding back? According to the previous intelligence from those in Tangli, Titan City-State wants to set a trap for the surface world.
lurkers. But at present, it seems that the major ethnic groups and major forces in the inner earth world have not been called together, and it does not look like they have unified their minds. Is that rumor just a rumor? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be.
It is impossible for Tang Li and the others to abandon their great foundation in Jiangli City and come to the unfamiliar territory of Titan City just because of a rumor. His intelligence sources should also be accurate."
At present, even as a smart and analytical person like Jiang Yue, it is difficult to find a clear clue from these numerous clues.
It was impossible for Jiang Yue to see through all doubts at a glance from God's perspective.
He still had to take one step at a time to see what big move the Titan City State was planning. He believed that the Titan City State would definitely have a backup plan. It was impossible to keep the major forces at bay indefinitely.
The energy and status of these wealthy families and powerful forces are no less than those of the Titan City-State. If the Titan City-State goes too far, it is very likely that they will get away with it.
This speed is also considered compared to the Titan city-state.
Titan City State's mysterious gameplay will always be broken. It is impossible for them to touch the bottom line of the major forces again and again. It really angers everyone. If everyone doesn't play with them, the fun will be great.
Jiang Qiao thought for a moment and said: "Perhaps, Titan City-State believes that the time is not yet ripe. Before the time is ripe, any of their actions may be misunderstood, so they simply remain silent. You see, although Titan City-State is now overcrowded, many forces are actually still there.
Those who have not arrived. Before all the important forces arrive, the Titan City-State should not make too many big moves."
For example, the Demonic Flower Clan, because they were robbed, and as one of the top ten golden tribes, they have not yet arrived. With such an important force not in place, the Titan City State cannot make any big moves at this moment.
Still have to wait.
Of course, a small force like Tang Li and his team of adventurers are nothing to the Titan City-State, and there is absolutely no chance of waiting for them.
On the contrary, it was Jiang Yue, who was quite interested in Tang Li and his group. He wanted to know who in the Titan City State provided the information Tang Li received. To be precise, who did they contact?
. If we can find this line, maybe we can pursue it, and maybe we can figure out the specific situation of the Titan City-State against the inner earth world.
It's a pity that Tang Li and his group have assembled several adventure teams. There are so many people that they can't afford to take the teleportation gate. They have to take a special passage. It may take several days to get here.
Jiang Yue and the other three communicated for a while, and after seeing that it was getting late, they got up and went to the tavern.
As for the tavern, the old shopkeeper kept his promise and closed the business today for inventory. Almost everything has been sorted out.
Including how much liquor is stored in the tavern, how many supplies, and all fixed assets are clearly arranged, just so that people can see clearly on the accounts at a glance when handing over, so as to avoid confusion.
I have to say that these operations of the old shopkeeper saved Jiang Yue and the others a lot of trouble.
It can also be seen from this that the old shopkeeper attaches great importance to this matter and is very eager to transfer the shop so that he can use the money to return to his hometown for retirement.
"Boss, all the accounts are here. Our tavern has no external debts. All supplies are purchased in cash. The suppliers deliver them to your door. We settle the accounts in cash, so our reputation is particularly good. As for the fixed assets of the tavern, they are all clearly listed on this list.
Remember Chu. There are also these employees in the store. They are all loyal and honest old people. I guarantee with this old face that they are definitely reliable."
The shopkeeper obviously attaches great importance to the placement of these old employees, and is afraid that these old employees will be kicked out after changing the boss. He knows very well that these employees need this job very much. In today's Titan City-state, a stable clerk is not enough.
easy.
Although he retired and returned to his hometown, he did not want to interrupt the livelihood of these old employees because of his departure. Therefore, deep down in his heart, he hoped that the new boss Jiang Yue would not change employees.
Jiang Yue was silent. He had not thought of firing all employees, but there was no guarantee that all employees would be able to stay.
What if there is a thorny person inside who is not very obedient, or an employee with ancestral skills like Ah Piao, a guy who is used to carrying supplies from the tavern to his home, you can't let it go, right?
Seeing Jiang Yue's hesitation, the old shopkeeper said hurriedly: "Boss, this is the only request of an old man like me. If you can't believe it, I am willing to pay a deposit for them to ensure that they will work hard for the boss and never cause any trouble for you.
.If someone causes trouble, I won’t take the deposit.”
The old shopkeeper actually had to give a deposit to vouch for the employees. This was a very thankless task.
But it also shows his love and trust for these employees.
If he didn't know the character of these employees very well, how could he give a deposit to guarantee them?
"I am willing to pay a deposit of three thousand for them, and we can write it in the contract." The old shopkeeper's attitude was very proactive.
Jiang Yue then smiled and said: "There is no need for a deposit. The old shopkeeper trusts them so much, and I can see that none of them are sneaky bastards. In this way, I promise that these employees can stay as long as they work
Their attitude is the same as in the past, and I guarantee that they will continue to work here. I will treat them the same way the old shopkeeper did to them in the past. However, if anyone thinks that changing the boss will allow them to cheat or play tricks...
"
The old shopkeeper said firmly: "If someone is so ignorant of promotion, if you fire him, others will applaud him and will never compete with you. You all should express your stance and let the new boss see your determination."
With a new boss, it's a lie that employees feel uneasy. Except for a few skilled masters, the uneasiness of others is even more obvious.
With his craftsmanship, the master chef can still find food in another place, but he may not be as comfortable and comfortable as here. Ordinary employees are highly replaceable. If they are fired, they may not be able to find such a satisfying job in a short while.
After all, the old shopkeeper takes good care of these employees, and their wages are relatively high in the industry. If someone else had a salary that was 20% lower, he could still do the job without any delay.
Therefore, when the old shopkeeper asked to express his position, these employees would naturally seize the opportunity and express their determination one after another.
Of course, these people are obviously trying to make things difficult for them by saying nice things. They just want to work hard, live up to the trust of the old shopkeeper and the new boss, work hard to do a good job, and never cheat. Who wants to do it?
If someone cheats or cheats, he deserves to be fired. Everyone supervises each other, and no one will tolerate anyone who cheats or cheats.
There aren't too many sweet words, and there's nothing to choose from in terms of attitude.
Jiang Yue nodded: "Old shopkeeper, the deposit will be waived. It is better to sign the contract according to the previously negotiated conditions."
The old shopkeeper sighed, three thousand deposits, this is not a small amount, but the other party actually said he didn't want it. This arrangement really made him feel incredible.
Jiang Yue also paid the 80,000 silver coins very happily. The old shopkeeper was also a decent person. After signing the contract, he readily wrote down the secret brewing recipe and gave it to Jiang Yue.
"As long as the secret recipe of the wine is there, our tavern will definitely have a prosperous business. Our regular customers all recognize our wine, so you can rest assured."
After the silver coins were paid, the remaining details were easy to deal with. It took almost no time and everything was delivered.
The old shopkeeper looked around with a look of reluctance and sighed: "Brothers Mushroom Man, this tavern will be handed over to you from now on. Run it well. Maybe ten or eight years later, I, an old man like me, will visit Titan City again. I hope to
At that time, the business of our tavern was more prosperous than before."
Jiang Yue smiled and said: "I accept your good advice."
The old shopkeeper immediately said sternly: "Those yamen brats are ugly, and each one is more difficult to deal with. You still have to find a way to deal with one or two. It is best to clear the level, otherwise they will come back every three days, and this pub will not be able to do anything.
Fakai.”
Jiang Yue smiled and said, "I know this well."
"But old shopkeeper, I have a heartfelt request. We need time to get familiar with the tavern. You will have to support me for a few days. When we get used to it slowly and become proficient, you can
How about taking off your burden again?"
The old shopkeeper was actually very reluctant to part with this tavern. Now that the boss has been replaced, he is purely the shopkeeper and does not need to think about the things that come with the reception. Naturally, he is very happy and even agrees happily.
"Okay, then I will take care of it for you for a while. When you feel that my old bones are no longer needed, just tell me directly. Don't worry, we don't want a salary and we will do it for you for free." The old shopkeeper smiled brightly and promised repeatedly.
He said that he would be happy to help with this matter and would not charge any money.
Jiang Yue knew how the old shopkeeper felt, and also knew that he was doing it for free to repay his favor, so naturally he was not too polite to him.
After getting more than 80,000 silver coins, and the old shopkeeper must have accumulated a lot of savings from running the tavern for so many years, he has already become financially free. Naturally, he doesn't care about the three melons and two dates that only last a few days. If you are polite to him on this issue, the old shopkeeper will
On the contrary, you will feel that you look down on him.
Early the next morning, Ah Piao came over excitedly after finishing the night shift. He was as energetic as if he had been given a shot of blood. A night's work didn't seem to bring much fatigue at all, but he seemed energetic.
Full of energy.
It seems that this position of shopkeeper is indeed a huge temptation for him.
"Brother, brother, we have great information, 100% fidelity." Ah Piao whispered into his ear as Jiang Yue pulled him to a remote place.
Seeing his beaming expression, Jiang Yue guessed that this guy probably really got some important information.
Immediately, I followed him to a remote area in the backyard, gave him a basin of water, and asked him to wash up first to wake up and refresh himself.
Then I made him some wine and dishes, which made Ah Piao even more enthusiastic.
"Brother, the information this time is really worth hundreds of silver coins. But considering the position of the shopkeeper, I won't charge you this time."
"The tavern already belongs to me, and the contract has been signed. Now the old shopkeeper will continue to take care of it for me for a while. The day you are qualified, the day you will take up the post." Jiang Yue was not ambiguous, and directly threw a big deal to him.
cake.
At the same time, he also put the contract on the table for Ah Piao to check.
Ah Piao excitedly flipped through the contract, slapped the table and sighed: "Good guy, brother, you are really generous. For such a big deal, you can sign it as soon as you say it. With this kind of strength, tsk tsk, I admit, my energy towards you, brother, was huge before."
I underestimated it. I also want to understand that from now on, I will follow you as my brother. You are my brother, my brother, and I promise to do my job well and not embarrass you."
"Okay, okay, what I want is not to be obedient, everything depends on actions."
Ah Piao still couldn't hide his excitement and couldn't help nodding: "Yes, it depends on the action. By the way, don't you ask what information I got this time?"
"Stop being too pretentious!"
"Hehe, yes, it's no secret. I only found out the news by chance this time. A group of forces will be summoned here in the Titan City State. This is the first batch, either the golden tribe, the wealthy giants, or...
The Chaebol Chamber of Commerce, this time's list is basically all first-line forces. I heard that a second batch will be summoned later, and by then the list will be expanded to include second- and third-line forces. In short, this time the Titan City-State will
Try to be fair in everything.”
fair?
This is what Jiang Yue doesn't like to see the most. The Titan City State treats things too fairly, how can he interfere with it, how can he provoke it?
