"Shun Lao, you take 15 million. I don't have the materials to refine the mysterious weapons, so I have to rely on myself, so I'll give you an extra 10 million in start-up capital to prepare for emergencies."
"Fifteen million, this, this, this, this, this old slave has never seen so much money in his life!"
Old slave Fushun had a look of amazement on his face. His hand that took the bank note could not help but tremble slightly...
Giving such a large amount of money as promised shows Chen Shen's trust in the old man.
Looking at the other party's clueless look, Chen Shen couldn't help but laugh and curse: "Shun Lao, can we stop being so worthless?"
"After all, you are also a mysterious weapon master who has inherited the bloodline of the God of War. In the future, you will be able to refine high-grade mysterious weapons, and even spiritual-level mysterious weapons. By then, the money you will see will only be more."
"Hehe, what the young master said is, hehehe..." Mr. Shun said stupidly and happily.
Well, let the old man who is used to poverty slowly digest the surprise in his heart.
Chen Shen turned to Chen Xiaohai, Zhang Yidao and others and said: "Second uncle, Senior Zhang, Senior Lu, each of you will take two million gold."
"I don't care how you spend it, but within a week, I want all the cultivators in the city to know that a comprehensive store specializing in high-end elixirs, talismans, foods, and weapons has opened!"
"Hehehehe... What's so difficult about this? Don't forget that we used to be mercenaries, and we've seen a lot of people from all kinds of religions."
Zhang Yidao said with a big smile: "Speaking of the ability to convey information, you have to find gangs in various places."
"Lao Zhang's stupid brain got it right again."
Lu Yijian chuckled and said: "Although the imperial capital is at the foot of the emperor, there are definitely many political forces in various small sects. Don't worry, little friend Chen, I will definitely complete the task within a week."
"Yeah, and you don't need so much money at all." Zhang Yidao said, and was about to return one of the million dollar bills.
But Chen Shen shook his head and blocked it: "The extra money is considered to be earned by your own skills, so you don't need to pay me back."
"Ah? How does this make..."
Chen Shen smiled faintly and said: "I was negligent before. I only asked you to buy restaurants, clear up business connections, etc. But in the end, you both worked and contributed, and in the end you had to pay for it yourself."
"Just consider the extra money as a belated thank you."
"Little friend Chen, what you said is totally out of context!"
Zhang Yidao said straightforwardly: "You are Ling'er's young master, and Lao Lu and I are determined to follow Ling'er. Your business is our business. How can we ask you for money when doing things?"
"That's right. Anyway, you extorted the money I spent on me, so I don't feel bad about using it at all." Xiang Nan smiled.
What she was referring to was, of course, the five million compensation that Chen Shen obtained from Feng Jinyu, the former lord of Qianlong City, on her behalf when passing through Qianlong City.
"I have remembered all your kindness."
The young man tapped the table with his five fingers and said leisurely: "To be honest, I don't intend to return the money you paid in advance. I will treat it as investment capital."
Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Chen Shen explained: "Being a shareholder means that you are all partners who have contributed money. After the store officially makes a profit, you can all share the corresponding amount of income."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yidao, Lu Yijian, and Xiang Nanren couldn't help but their eyes lit up.
The young man caught a glimpse of the expressions of the three of them and couldn't help but feel happy: "Hey, it's good to be tempted. Although friendship is the most important thing, if we add interests, our relationship will become even closer and inseparable!"
Immediately, Chen Shen spoke again: "I am a thick-skinned person, and I will monopolize 70% of the profit. Of course, all the daily expenses of the store will be borne by me alone."
"Ling'er and Shunlao are in charge of Xuanshi and Xuanbing respectively, and each of them gets 10% of the profit."
"The remaining 10% will be divided equally between the four of you, Senior Zhang, Senior Lu, Sister Bodyguard, and my second uncle."
In other words, each of these four people holds 2.5% of the "shares".
It may not sound like much at first, but once this business is put into operation, the most conservative estimate is that the daily profit will start at a million dollars.
In other words, the four of them did nothing but were responsible for "watching the scene" and were given a full 25,000 gold every day. This reward was naturally extremely generous!
"Sister Xiang, take the last two million gold to smoothen the relationship."
The young man talked eloquently: "Since we are opening the door for business, we have to spend money on things to manage, especially our business, which involves a wide range of things, but we still can't reveal that there is strong support from direct descendants of my Chen family behind the scenes, so...
…You know.”
Xiang Nan let her lips twitch: "I understand. According to your previous rules, all the extra money will belong to this lady, right?"
Speaking of this, a beautiful and cunning look flashed across the woman's pretty face.
"Of course." The young man nodded decisively: "But...if someone from the government comes to stir up trouble in the future during operations, it means you have failed in your duty."
"Brother, he gives out money generously, and he will never be lenient when it comes to withholding money, do you understand?"
Xiang Nanren couldn't help but curled his lips when his little thought was exposed instantly: "Humph, this little guy is very shrewd despite his age..."
Next, everyone discussed for a long time the many details after opening the store.
It wasn't until it got dark that everything was done.
Fortunately, everyone is a very capable cultivator. Xiang Nanren, the weakest cultivator, is also a four-star black practitioner. So staying up late to burn their brains will not cause any discomfort to them.
"Master, we have been discussing it for so long, but it seems we haven't decided on the name of the store yet?" Suddenly, Ling'er said softly.
Chen Shen smiled and said nothing.
When Xiang Nanren saw this, his nose wrinkled and he said: "Look at his proud look, he has probably already thought about it and is waiting to show off."
"Hmph, why don't you tell me about it? If it doesn't sound good, then I'll see how I can despise you."
Chen Shen waved his hand: "I will serve you with pen and ink!"
Not long after, the well-behaved Ling'er found the Four Treasures of the Study. These were also essential items for opening a store, so they were already prepared.
Chen Shen held the pen in his hand, dipped in ink and finished it in one go.
After just three to five breaths, four vigorous and powerful characters appeared on the paper - "Tian Qi Bao Pavilion!"
"What a Tianqibao Pavilion, with clear meaning and grandeur!" The second uncle nodded frequently while stroking his beard.
Ling'er looked at her young master with a heart filled with love: "Young master is so awesome, he is versatile in both civil and military affairs!"
Even Xiang Nanren, who originally wanted to find fault, had to admit that the name was not bad at all. He nodded slightly and said: "Little guy, can't you see that you also have good handwriting?"
The boy straightened his hair: "Don't be obsessed with me, I'm just a legend..."
