From the moment I opened the door and walked in, I felt a little familiar with the fat man leaning on the table. Now I could see his face and name clearly, and I was overjoyed. The person who just stood up on the huge table was none other than someone who had done a transaction with me.
The material officer of Feiyun City, Annie.
"Oh my god, look who I found! Old friend, are you okay!" Annie stood up from the thick-backed chair in a slightly exaggerated manner, stepped forward and gave me a fierce hug.
Although the pain made me grin, I still pretended to be enthusiastic: "Old Annie, why are you here?"
Old Annie was a little angry and unwilling, and said: "Aren't you the despicable and shameless boss Choate? Do you still remember the supplies I got from you last time? The credit that originally belonged to me was given to me by that shameless guy.
He took it for himself, and not only that, in order to cover up his bad behavior, he also put me in this place where rabbits don’t poop!!!”
I shrugged, calmed my expression and said, "I sympathize with your experience, but there's nothing wrong with this. Really, your chance has come!"
Seeing my reaction, Old Anni became even more angry. He clenched his chubby hands into fists and slammed them on the table. He shouted hysterically: "I've had enough of staying here. I've been here for a few months. You
He's the first adventurer I've ever met!!! If my wife and children didn't still need the salary from my job to support me, I would have stopped working long ago!! Damn Choate, sooner or later, I will use you to give me a gift
Slit his throat with the one-handed sword!!"
I hurriedly stepped forward in an attempt to stop his more crazy behavior: "Hey, hey, Annie! Calm down! Calm down! Listen to me!!"
After a lot of hard work on my part, Old Annie finally calmed down a little. Seeing the opportunity, I hurriedly said: "Listen to me, really, your chance is here!!! The real opportunity!!"
I emphasized the words "real opportunity", and finally, Annie's eyes recovered from the madness.
"What? A real opportunity? I've been sent to a place where rabbits don't poop. Do I still have a chance to turn around?" The decadent eyes swept away, and a glimmer of light flashed out of the corner of his eyes, as if he saw something.
Some kind of hope.
I was really speechless at this time. Damn, are you kidding me? Are you calling this a place where rabbits don’t poop? Then do other people still want to live? I took a deep breath and organized some words in my head.
Then he spoke.
"Do you know what the main duties here are?"
"Of course! I just want to find a way to sell these damn waste papers!!! But I have been working for nearly two months, and you are the first person to come here!" Ani placed his thick palms heavily on the table.
A pile of paper documents was lying on the floor, stirring up choking dust. One of them slipped down, and the city's logo was printed on the patterned paper, as well as densely packed text.
"Man, don't complain. This time your opportunity has really come. Now Lingyun City is open to us adventurers, which means that this place will gradually become busier in the future, and then these shops will be snapped up by everyone!!
"I said as calmly as possible.
"I'd like to lend you some good advice! I hope so!" Annie didn't seem to believe it. He pulled up the large chair and sat on it.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet what are you doing here!! Just come to see an old friend who is in a bad situation??"
At this point, I finally got to the point. I patted his shoulder and said, "Haha, I'm here to buy the so-called waste paper in your hand!!!"
"Stop joking with me! This joke is not funny at all!" Annie didn't even raise her head, her eyes were full of frustration.
“Hey, really man, I’m really here to handle the purchase of a store property!!”
"Are you sure??"
"Of course I'm sure. I hope you can give me a preferential price within your rights!" I looked resolutely and did not dodge his burning gaze at all.
"Hahaha, okay, okay!! Tell me, all the shops here are under my control. Mark which shop you like on this map, and I will handle the necessary handover procedures for you!!" After confirming that I was not joking.
, A long-lost smile appeared on Annie's face. His fat body rummaged under the desk for a moment, and placed a map with very detailed records in front of me.
I leaned down and found the store I was looking for in front of me almost at a glance. It was in a perfect location, right between the drug store and the grocery store. It had two floors, with a total area of more than 300 square meters.
"No, this is it, I hope to buy it!!" I said, pointing to the conspicuous store on the map.
"Hey, you have really good taste. This is the largest store in Lingyun City. Most people can't buy it even if they have money. Fortunately, you have a title and meet the purchase requirements!!"
"Please help me find out how much it will cost to buy this store!!"
"Wait a minute, let me check it for you!" After saying that, the fat man's eyes were blank, and he was probably calling the corresponding information with Zhi Nao.
"Checked it!! If this shop is rented, it requires at least the title of Viscount, and the monthly rent is 8,000 gold coins. In addition, the financial officer of the main city will extract 11.5% of the operating income as tax. If it is purchased in full, it requires at least the title of Baron.
To obtain a title, you must pay 246,570 gold coins in one lump sum, and deduct 200,000 reputations! The tax rate is 6.5%."
After listening to Anni's words, I couldn't help but twitch in my heart. This game company nnd is so cruel. For such a virtual store, they actually charge me more than 240,000 gold coins. According to the current intermediary exchange rate, this is close to 300 gold coins.
Ten thousand RMB. Spending three million to open a store is considered a big deal even in the real world. The tax is also very high. If you rent, you will have to pay a tax of more than 10%, which must be paid out of the pure profit.
Button it.
"Um, isn't there a discount? Look at our friendship..." Even though I had the financial resources, I still pretended to be a little embarrassed.
"There are no discounts for housing transactions, not even knighthood discounts, but within my ability, I can help you make some changes!!!"
"Workaround? What workaround?"
"For large transactions of more than 200,000 gold coins, I have 10% of the price fluctuation authority. Although it cannot be directly deducted, it can be used to help you purchase other things."
"for example?"
“For example, a private residence with more storage space!”
“Then what exactly needs to be done??”
"If you buy this store in full, I can use my authority to give you a house in the backyard!! It's right at this location!!" Ani poked his chubby finger on the map and pointed at the four houses behind the store.
location.
This residential house is the backyard of the shop, with only four bungalows, and it looks pretty good. I have to say that this fat man is quite capable. Although he talks about how depressed and down-trodden he is, when it comes time to discuss the business, he immediately
It's like he's become a different person, horribly shrewd and wise.
After finalizing these, the next step is a slightly more complicated procedure, signing the agreement, paying the money, and then stamping the house deed. Finally, two deeds with the fragrance of Jinglan flowers and ink were handed into my hands, and one was the land deed.
, a house deed, with these two deeds, the house belongs to me. As for me, my reputation value has been deducted by more than n, and the gold coins in my account have also been plundered. After decades of hard work,
Back before the liberation, I was talking about a hard worker like me.
Once you get the property deed, the corresponding authority system will be automatically activated. You will go back and study it carefully later, and you can start business once it is done.
"Thank you, old friend, for your help, but before I leave, I want to ask you something!!" Before I left, I suddenly remembered that Star, the head thug of Dawn Wings, might also find a way to sneak in and buy a store, so I spoke in advance.
road.
"My old friend, as long as it is within the scope of my authority and principles, I will definitely help you get it done!" Although the fat man looked wretched and cunning, he was also loyal to his friends and agreed quickly.
"During this period, some people should come here to buy stores. I hope you can do me a favor..."
I took the lead in paying for the stores and convinced Fatty that these stores would be easy to sell. I talked about this and that. It was nothing more than a way to suppress competitors and hostile trade unions. These were all within Fatty's authority.
, just thinking about it briefly, Fatty agreed. Thinking about it in the next period of time, it will be impossible for rival unions such as Wings of Dawn to easily buy stores.
After explaining the good things, I left the City Management Department. As expected, Fright was still there struggling with the guards. I raised the corner of my mouth, waved the contract in my hand to him, activated the touch of wind and moved towards the center of the city.
Running around my shop.
I have dreamed of owning my own store since I was very young. It started when I was in elementary school. At that time, the teacher asked me what my ideal was. I remember the answer was to have my own store, and then I don’t have to pay and I can eat what I want.
You can eat whatever you want. By the time I got to college, I already had a preliminary understanding of society. At that time, my dream was to open my own store with Dandan, but the items they sold changed from snacks to flowers. For a long time, after graduation,
Opening a flower shop filled with fragrance has always been the most talked about topic between the two of us.
God has a way with people. I didn’t expect that what I couldn’t do in reality was actually done in the game in advance. I spent 3 million RMB to open a store in the game. If I told this to a stranger, 99% of it would be true.
People will say I'm crazy.
Crazy, crazy, anyway, the money was earned by everyone in the game. Although the store is under my name, it still belongs to the collective property of the studio. At that time, the profit will be divided equally among several people.
We ran all the way to the front of our store. Although it was the same as when we came a while ago, there was still no signboard, but now it feels much more friendly. After all, this is our own business.
Opening the store operating permissions template and finding the corresponding permissions, I activated the lock at the door and strode in.
What I purchased now is a store with a unified template. It looks good from the outside, but once I enter, I feel shabby. There is nothing in the empty hall. The layout inside needs to be designed and arranged by myself.
The store management in the game is a little easier than in reality. As I watched and explored, I gradually got a general idea. From the control template, I chose the layout style that I felt was suitable, and then submitted the application. It almost took a blink of an eye.
It just felt like a blur before my eyes, and the empty house turned into what was designed in the layout.
This store has a large area and a good location. The first floor is initially designated as a grocery store, not because it sells groceries, but because the grocery store type covers the widest range, ranging from weapons and armor to needles, threads, brains, materials, ores.
It can be classified into the general category of groceries. The space on the second floor is close to 150 square meters, which would be good for organizing small auctions on a regular basis.
After the layout style is added and applied, a system prompt comes.
Ding! Congratulations on successfully adding a new layout style. Do you want to save it?
save!
Ding! The new layout style is saved successfully and your store is officially launched. Please improve your store settings!
name!!
This name still has some guild characteristics. After thinking about it, I entered a very domineering name, um, it’s called Moonlight Canteen (⊙﹏⊙bhan) Ding! The name can be used, do you confirm?
confirm!
Ding! Please select your store category! Special reminder, this category can only be set once and cannot be changed after confirmation!
I had already thought about this before and immediately chose the grocery store on the first floor and the auction house on the second floor.
Ding! Set to save!
Ding! Please choose your business model!
There are two business models, one is the intelligent model, that is, the store owner operates it by himself and then earns profits through commercial activities with his own authority. The other model is to hire an NPC with certain intelligence to operate on his behalf, although the IQ may not be the same as that of a real person.
There is a certain difference, but the advantage is that no one is constantly watching, which greatly saves energy.
A professional player like me couldn't wait at the store all day long to make money, so I chose to hire NPCs without thinking about it.
Ding! The NPC will be refreshed immediately, please choose the appropriate NPC to work for you!!
Next, the table kept flashing, and then stopped after a few seconds. A large number of NPC directories appeared on the table.
There are also good and bad clerks. According to the order of good and bad, they are divided into white-named junior clerks with an IQ of 50, yellow-named intermediate clerks with an IQ of 65, purple-named senior clerks with an IQ of 80, and the legendary golden-named shopkeeper with a human-like IQ of 98.
The higher the level, the higher the IQ and business ability. Similarly, the higher the hiring cost, but hiring these clerks does not require money. Most of the clerks available for selection in the catalog are junior clerks with white names.
Less than a third of them have yellow names, and even fewer have purple names. After flipping through several pages, I only saw one, the golden shopkeeper mentioned in the introduction. That is a rare existence, and it is not just about being rich.
You can hire them.
I patiently flipped through page after page, and the ten-page catalog was quickly finished. There was only one clerk with a purple name I saw earlier. He had spent millions on it. We were not short of such a small amount of money. I couldn't bear to accept it.
I gritted my teeth and chose to spend money to refresh the list.
One hundred gold coins are refreshed once, which is equivalent to more than a thousand RMB. The system is really bad. In reality, this money is almost enough to go to a nightclub to hook up with a girl or choose a KTV channel.
I patiently continued to search, and this time it was a little better. After all, it was updated with money. There were two more clerks with purple names, but the shopkeeper with the golden name that I had been longing for still did not appear.
I've also worked hard. It won't be 100 gold coins soon. I'll refresh it again!!
...
I refreshed it three times in a row, but each time there were still only a few purple clerks. Without saying a word, I gave the system nearly 5,000 yuan in vain. I gritted my teeth and said the last time, nnd. If I couldn't refresh again, I gave up!!
!
Three seconds of data refresh time, and then the directory was refreshed again. I calmly flipped down page by page. There was not even a purple name in the directory on the first seven pages. My heart gradually started to tighten. On the eighth page,
At that time, I scanned the catalog with no hope. Suddenly, the name at the bottom was red and gold, and it almost blinded my eyes.
Hahahaha! Shopkeeper Jin Ming was finally caught by me!!
System NPC (unnamed) number: 9527 Level: Shopkeeper Personality: Shrewd Gender: Female IQ: 98 Loyalty: 100 Management ability: 99 (full score of 100) Skills: [Skills in collecting money] [Smooth tongue] [Collection]
