A few days have passed, and the basic construction of the headquarters of the 'Black Iron Guild' has been completed. The efficiency of the cultivators is indeed extraordinary.
The biggest bright spot of the Black Iron Guild Headquarters is the vast front yard. In the courtyard with a radius of more than 400 meters, there are many Black Iron sales display stands.
In fact, this is similar to a trade fair. This is of course Zhang Hao's idea. To be more precise, Zhang Hao is responsible for it.
Each black iron production family rents and sells areas here according to "square feet", and then builds it themselves.
According to the 'level' of each member within the guild, each member of the Black Iron Guild has a basic free area, ranging from 'one square foot' to 15 square feet.
After dividing the entire yard into passages and functional areas, the rest is divided into standard blocks, each block is one square foot, so that everyone can rent it by themselves.
The fees incurred from leasing are counted as the public funds of the Black Iron Guild.
So, Xuantie Guild opened its doors and accepted customers~~~
…………
A group of carriages creaked and creaked as they entered the county seat of Ninghe County. Mu Mingchen sat on the carriage, drowsy.
From behind, a snow-white horse roared up, and finally stopped slowly next to Mu Mingchen's carriage; on the horse was a girl in a fancy dress.
The girl hesitated for a while before speaking: "Third uncle, is that Zhang Hao really as evil as you say?"
Mu Mingchen didn't even open his eyes, and said helplessly: "I mean, Yingying, you've asked me all the way. You'll know when we meet."
"Hmph, since you returned from Ninghe County last time, you and dad have been talking about Zhang Hao every day, no less than ten times a day."
"Hmm..." Mu Mingchen responded lazily and continued to sleep.
"Third uncle, third uncle, don't sleep. By the way, I have always wondered, our family is obviously from Anling County, why do we participate in Ninghe County's fund-raising?"
"Because the princess of Ninghe County is collecting donations!" Mu Mingchen suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes brightened, his drowsy expression disappeared instantly, and his tone became louder:
"Yingying, once the princess raises a donation, it is a moment of affection. Such an opportunity must be seized. If something happens to our family in the future, telling us about this donation can at least give the family a chance!
"
"Oh? So, the people who participated in the fund-raising at that time were far more than those from Ninghe County?"
"Haha, my Yingying is so smart, she can draw inferences from one example."
"Hmph, I heard the sarcasm in Third Uncle's words."
"Haha..." Mu Mingchen laughed and began to feel sleepy again.
Until the carriage stopped, a guard reported: Zhang's residence has arrived.
Mu Mingchen got off the carriage, looked at the already majestic Zhang Mansion, and sighed. In just a few days, the 'Zhang Family Shop', which was previously a small and dilapidated building, has become an area of more than sixty feet (
A vast mansion with a radius of 200 meters.
In this market with many shops, purchasing such a large piece of property is enough to show the extraordinary power of the Zhang family.
Unfortunately, Mu Mingchen came to the wrong place today.
"The master went to the Black Iron Guild and is not here." The guard at the door of Zhang's residence replied arrogantly.
Mu Mingchen was slightly stunned. The Black Iron Guild started operating so quickly?
After inquiring about the location of the Black Iron Guild, the convoy continued its journey. It took more than half an hour before it finally arrived at the Black Iron Guild.
This place is already overcrowded. The entrance to the Black Iron Guild is crowded with people. The motorcade has reached the end of the street.
"Hi, Lao Mu! You really brought your little girl here!" Someone said hello on the roadside.
Mu Mingchen knew who it was without even opening his eyes. "I said, Lao Zheng, it would be nice for young people to come out and meet him."
After a pause, Mu Mingchen said to Mu Yingying again: "Yingying, this is Zheng Changqiu from the Zheng family. Just call him Uncle Zheng."
"Hello, Uncle Zheng." Mu Yingying jumped off the horse and bowed to Zheng Changqiu, who was leaning on the carriage.
Zheng Changqiu nodded with a smile: "You're pretty good, little girl. Every time we meet, Mu Mingchen always praises you. You really are so beautiful and fragrant."
"Thank you, Uncle Zheng, for the compliment." Mu Yingying smiled without showing her teeth, but with a girlish charm and liveliness.
A piece of jade pendant appeared in Zheng Changqiu's hand: "Here, I'll give this to you. The high-quality warm jade from Mingquan Mountain, the country of Zhongshan in the north, has the effect of nourishing the skin."
"Wow...thank you, Uncle Zheng." Mu Yingying happily accepted the gift.
Mu Ming Chen exclaimed: "Old Zheng, you have so many gifts, I can't give them all."
"If you call me Uncle Zheng, I will give you one too."
"roll!"
"Ha ha……"
The team moved forward with difficulty. After almost a moment, Mu Mingchen entered the Black Iron Guild. Then, he was shocked.
But in the courtyard, there are all large and small, but neat display stands; people are flowing in the passage, and people stop from time to time to ask about the price.
Mu Mingchen and Zheng Changqiu slowly walked into it.
Surprises sounded one after another, and the expressions of the two people gradually became serious.
Here, the price of black iron is more transparent, but this is not a good thing, because there is almost no difference in the prices of black iron on all sites.
The prices for black iron of the same quality are almost the same.
Moreover, it is not possible to lower the price alone here.
The most important thing is that the price of black iron has now increased! Previously, the price was close to 15% off the previous price; but now, the price has risen back to 10% off.
This is definitely not a good signal. But the buyers like Mu Mingchen and Zheng Changqiu are powerless.
unity is strength!
"This is the power of the collective." Zheng Changqiu sighed, "This time the Zhang family's affairs are going to be big."
Mu Mingchen did not speak, but looked up and around, and saw the most ostentatious display sign in the distance, with two big words "Zhang Family" written on it; below there was a line of small words: 20% off wholesale.
"Let's go to Zhang's house and have a look." Mu Mingchen took the lead and squeezed into Zhang's house, only to find that it was already crowded, especially in a two-story, open attic. Zhang Shengde, Zhang Hao
, having a heated conversation with some representatives.
Mu Ming Chen Zhenyuan focused his ears and gradually heard some voices. It turned out that they were not discussing Xuantie, but discussing the family's acquisition. In the words, there were faint words such as 'shipbuilder'.
Does the Zhang family want to build a ship? Mu Mingchen was curious. It happened that the Mu family also had a small shipbuilding workshop. Let's go and have a look.
After squeezing to the bottom of the second floor, I saw a few young people dressed neatly and smartly stopping me, "Several seniors have invited me, and ship-related matters are being discussed upstairs.
Senior, if you want to buy black iron, please go to the counter in front. The Zhang family has a standard discount and guessing process."
Mu Mingchen suddenly became curious: "Does your Zhang family want to build a ship?"
"This is a family decision, and I don't know about it."
"Okay, you go up and tell me that Mu Mingchen is here to visit. Also, we also have a shipbuilding workshop, so we can talk about it."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The young man trotted down after a while and said, "You're neglecting your distinguished guest, please."
Mu Mingchen, Zheng Changqiu, and Mu Yingying came to the second floor, and Zhang Shengde and Zhang Hao came to greet them.
"This is the head of the Zhang family, his name is Uncle Zhang."
"Hello, Uncle Zhang." Mu Yingying bowed down.
"This is Zhang Hao, you want to call me Brother Shi. Hey... Zhang Hao, you are at the peak of your Qi refining stage?"
Zhang Hao was proud: "I've met Uncle Mu, Uncle Zheng, and Shi Mei, but I accidentally had an epiphany a few days ago."
"Oh..." Mu Mingchen nodded, "Be careful next time."
Zhang Hao:......
"Haha..." Mu Mingchen smiled proudly, "Yes, yes, he is indeed a heroic boy. Come, let me introduce to you, this is our little princess, Mu Yingying."
"Hello, brother." Mu Yingying's bright smile was a little shy, her eyes kept glancing at Zhang Hao.
"Please take a seat, please take a seat." Zhang Shengye invited everyone to sit down and apologized. There were still negotiations to be carried out. Zhang Hao was left to entertain the guests.
While Zhang Hao was pouring tea, Mu Mingchen asked: "Xiao Hao, your family wants to build a ship?"
"I have an idea. Now I want to recruit some shipbuilding craftsmen. It would be better if I could acquire a complete shipbuilding workshop."
Mu Mingchen nodded: "I see. Our Mu family has a large shipbuilding workshop."
"Then I wonder if this workshop is willing to be sold as a whole? What is the price?"
Mu Yingying looked at Zhang Hao with a little disgust: First impression, not very good~~~
There's no one like you who can discuss business when we meet! You even want to buy out part of someone's family!
