After entering Wenxian Tower, Qingchan remained silent. She carefully looked at the furnishings in Wenxian Tower and went straight to the topic: "How many spiritual objects are accumulated in Wenxian Tower? What is the annual income and expenditure?"
After Lu Wenxian passed away, Wenxian Tower gradually went downhill. A year ago, the last sixth-level weapon refiner's contract expired and left Demon Refining City, immediately making Wenxian Tower unable to make ends meet.
The Wenxianlou stall is too big, has too many branches, and employs a lot of manpower.
The expense of renting the elixir garden and the six-story fire room is also a huge sum.
Without high-level alchemists and weapon refiners in charge, this large-scale business would simply not be able to sustain itself.
Moreover, Lu Zocheng gave birth to babies twice and also removed a large number of precious spiritual objects from Wenxian Tower.
Today's Wenxian Tower, in addition to the elixir garden and the lease of the underground fire room, has some value, but it has almost become an empty shell.
If given enough time to wait, Zhang Zhixuan would not want to get involved, preferring to build a large merchant from scratch.
Qingchan asked continuously, leaving Lu Zuocheng silent for a long time.
The room immediately became quiet. After Lu Zocheng thought deeply, he broke the silence and said: "The seventeen stores in Wenxian Tower have also accumulated some spiritual items, which are worth about 3.96 million spiritual stones in total. Now the annual fixed income is only 300,000."
More than 10,000, a loss of about 700,000 spiritual stones a year."
Zhang Zhixuan said calmly: "Do you have detailed operating account books?"
"Of course it does."
Lu Zocheng waved, and a moment later a Jindan monk held a thick stack of account books and handed them to Zhang Zhixuan respectfully.
Zhang Zhixuan carefully looked through the account books and made secret calculations for a long time.
"The goods worth more than three million spirit stones are all low-end goods that are not easy to sell. It will probably take a long time to turn them into spirit stones. Most of the shops in Wenxian Tower are leased, and the lease period of eleven shops is approaching.
The value is not high. The remaining six shops are self-owned properties and are worth about 1.2 million spiritual stones.
Wenxian Tower also controls an elixir garden attached to the Demon Refining City. This elixir garden still has a sixty-year contract and can produce 300 elixirs of various kinds every year. These elixirs are classified into third-level and fourth-level elixirs.
Lord, my annual income is around 160,000 spiritual stones.
However, to operate this elixir garden, one needs to invest 120,000 spirit stones every year to maintain the Demon Refining City array. In addition, it is necessary to pay a tax of 60,000 spirit stones to the Wuwei Sect. Simply relying on the output of the elixir garden may not be enough.
Some are unable to make ends meet.
The value of this elixir garden lies in its ability to stably provide various elixirs. Only by cooperating with high-level alchemists can it achieve high value.
There are still thirty years left in the lease contract for the underground fire chamber. The annual rental fee for the sixth-level underground fire chamber is as high as 120,000 spirit stones. The total amount of the thirty-year contract exceeds 3.6 million. There is no sixth-level weapon refining
Master, I'm afraid the value of this contract will be greatly reduced."
Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan remained silent for a long time, Lu Zocheng finally lost his temper and asked, "What are you thinking about, Senior Zhang?"
Ever since Lu Wenxian's good friend Yang Yongzhou left the Demon Refining City after his contract expired, and lost this sixth-level weapon refiner, Wenxian Tower would lose 700,000 spirit stones within one year of its opening.
It had only been delayed for a year and a half, and it was already difficult for Lu Zocheng to bear it. After all, he was just a golden elixir monk, and the family fortune left behind by his father was strong, so he could not support it for long.
The Wenxian Building industry is quite large, and it is difficult for ordinary casual cultivators to afford it.
Although several other businesses in the Demon Refining City are wealthy and have the ability to acquire Wenxian Tower, they are picky and picky and keep their prices very low. They only eat meat and not the bones. Not only are they unwilling to take over the people from Wenxian Tower, they even ask
Xianlou is only willing to take over one-third of the backlog of goods that are easiest to sell, and is not willing to take over the contract for the sixth-level underground fire room. They all have their own sixth-level underground fire room, and they are not willing to increase investment for no reason.
Lu Zocheng was simply unwilling to accept such conditions.
If it cannot be sold this year, Lu Zocheng can only gradually close some stores, lay off manpower, and find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
The shopkeepers and clerks in the store are all descendants of Lu Wenxian's disciples and are also related to Lu Zuocheng.
Once these monks lose their jobs, the Jindan Zi Mansion monks can still gain a foothold in the Demon Refining City. Qi Lianqi Foundation Establishment will inevitably leave the Demon Refining City and become a casual cultivator without anyone to take care of them.
Although three groups of monks came today, only Zhang Zhixuan's family expressed their intention to take over. Lu Zocheng was actually very willing to complete the deal, even if the price had to be compromised a few steps more.
Seeing Lu Zuocheng speak, Zhang Zhixuan had already considered all the pros and cons clearly. He nodded and said: "If you want to revitalize Wenxian Tower, you will need to invest at least tens of millions of spiritual stones. In order to operate smoothly in the future, I can only choose to pay in installments. Ask
The fixed assets of Immortal Tower are discounted by 70%, and 3.6 million spiritual stones are delivered at one time. Then 300,000 spiritual stones are paid every year for thirty years. After thirty years, one hundred thousand spiritual stones are paid every year until the elixir garden is leased.
until the contract expires.
Of course, I will also promise Lu Xiaoyou not to change the signboard or lay off employees, unless someone violates the store rules."
Lu Zocheng smiled bitterly and said: "The discount is too low, please give me a little more, Senior Zhang."
Zhang Zhixuan shook his head and said: "We and my wife have many disciples and relatives under our command. In fact, we don't need a large number of manpower in the Immortal Tower. If there is no such burden, I am willing to take over at a premium."
Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan was unmoved, Lu Zocheng thought for a long time and finally nodded: "In that case, let's do what Senior Zhang wants!"
Lu Zuocheng is a Wuwei Sect monk and is very familiar with the Nascent Soul monks in Demon Refining City. There are more than a hundred Nascent Soul monks in Demon Refining City, but only a few who have just settled there are interested in taking over Wenxian Tower.
Of these few customers, Zhang Zhixuan is probably the only one who has the strength and ability to run Wenxian Tower.
Unless he is willing to split it up and sell it, completely ignoring his parents' relatives and descendants, he may be able to increase his income a little.
Although he received more than one million spiritual stones less, it allowed his parents and relatives to settle in Demon Refining City without making them unemployed. Lu Zocheng could reluctantly accept this result.
Moreover, if the deal is completed, he can also get 3.6 million spirit stones at once, and there will be a follow-up income of 12 million spirit stones in the next 60 years. Although these 12 million spirit stones need to repay 8 million
of debt.
Even so, for a golden elixir cultivator, this amount of resources is enough for him to exchange for the infant spiritual item.
After signing the contract, Zhang Zhixuan immediately took over Wenxian Tower.
Zhang Zhixuan is not planning to close down the 17 branches. He also wants to open Wenxianlou branches all over Central Chizhou.
Zhang Zhixuan gave an order, Zhang Sihong and others took over the Wenxian Tower branch with several Zifu monks, with the original shopkeeper acting as deputy. They also brought some high-level spiritual objects with them.
In addition, Zhang Zhixuan also sent his disciples to personally manage the elixir garden to prevent the former shop owner of Wenxian Tower from taking advantage of him.
With the sixth-level underground fire chamber, Zhang Zhixuan decided to open the furnace immediately and refine a batch of sixth-level elixir to make a name for himself.
