"Xuanyang wood?" Mrs. Qin frowned: "This thing is heavy and takes up space, and it's not worth much money."

"This item is in great demand both in the mortal world and in the world of immortality. Although the items are cheap, they turn over quickly. As long as the goods move, there is money to be made from them." Yang Zhen explained.

Because Xuanyang Wood contains a little spiritual energy, it can barely be regarded as a first-order low-grade spiritual wood. The biggest advantage of this product is its long-lasting, stable combustion and high temperature.

Xuanyang wood is used in the world, firstly by wealthy families who use it for barbecue and heating in winter. This product has no smoke and is comparable to the finest charcoal. The second is that it is used as a fire source for cooking monster meat or some expensive dishes in some high-end restaurants, such as Daguanlou, which is used all year round.

In the world of immortality, due to its high and stable burning temperature, it is the preferred wood for refining many low-level elixirs. The demand is at least ten times that of the mortal world.

Moreover, this product is a specialty of Xuanyang County, which is why Xuanyang County got its name. It is rarely produced in other places. Its price is very cheap in Xuanyang County, several times higher in county towns, and even several times higher in Zhoucheng and Beijing.

These are where the profits lie.

"The price of a three-foot-long Xuanyang wood in Xuanyang County is only 10 copper coins, while the purchase price in the county is 30-50 copper coins. Our Zhao family's shop also sells it, but in Fangshi, the price is very low. It’s one drop of spirit, which is already 10 times that of Xuanyang County.”

"I plan to purchase it at a similar price and sell it to wealthy households in the county. The price is set at 50-70 copper coins, which is more than half of the price in the city. It should not be difficult to sell it." Yang Zhen talked eloquently.

"There are already merchants selling Xuanyang wood in the county," Caiyan said doubtfully: "The price is usually 80-90 copper coins, and the wholesale price is 70. Your price is too low. Firstly, how can you guarantee profits, and secondly, it will disrupt the market. It is easy to be attacked by other merchants."

As Qin's assistant, Caiyan has learned about the conditions of various businesses in the county, city, and city.

"The profit is easy to say, the house is my own, there is no rent. I make a profit every time I sell one." Yang Zhen seemed to have returned to the sales battlefield back then, and calmly replied:

"As for the merchants who are worried about me dumping, that's easy to handle. I can agree with them that the daily retail quantity will not exceed ten sticks, and the price can be set at 70. Such a small quantity will not impact the market..."

"What about the ones that can't be sold? As the weather improves, the demand for these things in the world will be greatly reduced." Caiyan told the truth.

"On the one hand, I will control the purchase volume, and on the other hand, I plan to find out-of-town merchants to wholesale them."

"Businessmen from other places all have fixed merchants, but they are not that easy to find." Caiyan muttered.

Yes, it is indeed difficult to find out-of-town merchants, but what if I am that out-of-town merchant? Yang Zhen replied in her heart. This is the most important part of his entire plan, but it cannot be explained to outsiders.

According to Yang Zhen, the monthly profit of this shop is less than one hundred silver coins. This business really doesn't make much sense.

Probably to find a job for Granny Chen and the others. It's much easier than working in a restaurant. Not only Caiyan, but also Mrs. Qin and Nanny who understood.

It can be regarded as a filial piety from this child.

"Okay, I support you." Qin agreed: "If you go to the Yamen to apply for a license and someone makes things difficult for you, you can use my Zhao brand."

"Foster mother," Yang Zhen said quickly, "My child doesn't want to apply for this license from the Yamen. I want to go to Fangshi to get the license."

"Fangshi? The taxes there are too high. Why are you buying and selling Xuanyang wood like this?" Qin was confused.

In Xu State, the business licenses in the city and in the mortal world are different. The former not only requires a monk to come forward as a guarantee, but also the amount of tax paid is calculated in spiritual stones, which is at least ten times that of the mortal world!

Of course, the benefits are also greater. Only those with a license from Fangshi are qualified to buy and sell immortality supplies. Naturally, the profits here are not comparable to those of ordinary things.

Buying and selling immortal cultivation resources in a mortal shop is a serious crime!

Except Xuanyang wood.

Because of the great demand for this item in the mortal world and its low price, the sect stipulated that when Xuanyang wood is sold in the market, it will be treated as a resource for cultivating immortals. When buying and selling in ordinary cities, treat them as ordinary things.

This is why this item costs 1 spirit drop per stick in Zhuyang County Fang City, but only costs 8 or 90 copper coins in the county town. Because the former pays more taxes.

Then have any monks bought it from the county town and used it in the city?

Not none, but very few. First of all, this thing takes up a lot of space, and the Qi Practitioner's storage bag can't hold many. Is it worth it for a monk like you to go to Mortal City just to save dozens of copper coins?

If you don't put it in a storage bag, it's okay to buy one or two. If there are more, you will need to pay taxes when entering the market. In the end, it is almost the same as buying it in the market.

These are digressions. Let’s say that after Yang Zhen heard Qin’s question, she immediately told him another plan:

"Fangshi is the company I really plan to establish. Juncheng is going to be its subsidiary."

He then explained the concept of subsidiaries, going on to say:

"After the county city makes money, I plan to take my grandma and Aunt Fu to the state city to visit Uncle Fuzhen. At the same time, I will also look for business opportunities to sell some of the special spiritual materials from Chuyang to the state city. So, this The company’s foothold is Fangshi, and in the future it will deal in supplies for cultivating immortals.”

"Bang!" The chopsticks in Aunt Fu's hand fell under the table. She picked them up with a blushing face, looked at Yang Zhen, and waved her hands quickly:

"Little Shitou, well, the boat ticket to Zhoucheng is very expensive, so let's not go. In another year, your Uncle Fuzhen will be back, and Aunt Fu can afford to wait."

This world, because of its vastness and danger, means that when ordinary people travel far away, they always use spaceships carrying monks. Naturally, the price will not be cheap.

"So we have to make money!" Yang Zhen showed a bright smile.

"I want to go to Zhoucheng too!" Zhao Yuer shouted loudly. After listening for a long time, she finally heard something that interested her.

"Just stay at home, and when you grow up, you can go wherever you want in the Xu Kingdom!" Mrs. Qin scolded her daughter softly.

"It won't be fun then. I want to go with Brother Shitou." The little girl pouted.

Nanny smiled and came over to comfort her: "Let's talk about it then. If Nanny also wants to go to Zhoucheng then, I will take you with me."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Being interrupted by the little girl, Qin seemed to be unable to think of any problem. She had already heard from her grandma that Yang Zhen was going to practice the third level of the Body Training Technique and needed a lot of spiritual stones. This child can find his own way to earn spiritual stones, and she is willing to support it.

Thinking of this, she nodded: "Okay. I will arrange for a monk in the mansion to take you to apply for a license."



The meal finally came to an end, with Grandma Chen and Aunt Fu looking forward to their future trip to the city.

Yang Zhen was very satisfied. Not only did her plan go smoothly, but she also helped those who were good to him. He also needs their help, this is a mutually beneficial thing.

His real plan to make money will also be launched in this plan.

Yiyi, let’s earn spiritual stones happily together!
