"Master Chu, please take a look at the spiritual pearl and mineral monopoly..."
Zhao Lin earned 20,000 yuan for good deeds. Although he was happy, he did not forget another important thing.
"I knew you were still thinking about this!"
Chu Hongtian smiled and said, "I promised in advance that as long as we capture two pearl beaches, I will give you a quarter share. Now you have not only successfully completed the task, but also won one more pearl beach..."
"Don't worry, I will never break my promise!"
After hearing this, Zhao Lin felt relieved and stood up to thank him again.
"My little friend has made a great contribution by regaining the sect's lost territory. I should be grateful to you."
Chu Hongtian took out a gold-lacquered messenger talisman from his arms and said seriously: "If you encounter difficult things in the future, you can use this talisman to notify me."
Zhao Lin took it and saw that it was a top-quality messenger talisman.
The best messenger talisman can fly in the layer of evil spirits and is difficult to intercept, and it contains enough spiritual energy. As long as this talisman is released, one can fly to Chiwei Island even though he is thousands of miles away.
The talisman is stamped with Chu Hongtian's seal. If he is not on Chiwei Island, the guards on the island will mark the talisman after receiving it and forward it to Chu Hongtian.
In short, as long as he has this talisman, Zhao Lin can contact Chu Hongtian within two hours no matter where he is.
"Island Master Chu has great love, and I will keep this in mind for the younger generation."
Zhao Lin knew very well that this talisman meant Chu Hongtian's true recognition of him.
"This is what you deserve."
Chu Hongtian smiled and said, "Chiwei Island counts the harvest in the first ten days of every month, and it will take a few days to complete the count. In three to five days, you can come over to pick up the goods, and I will explain the matter to my subordinates."
Zhao Lin suddenly thought of a question and showed hesitation on his face, "Island owner, the spirit beads are expensive, and purchasing them is expected to cost a lot of money. Our store has limited funds, so I'm afraid we can't afford these many spirit coins."
"You guys want to do business without capital!"
Chu Hongtian laughed loudly and joked deliberately, then put away his smile and said, "Well, I can give you the goods on credit for the first two times and leave the settlement until after the new year."
"Starting from next year, we will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. Is this okay?"
Zhao Lin was overjoyed and said, "Thank you very much, island owner."
Just as he was about to stand up and say goodbye, Chu Hongtian raised his hand to stop him, "One more thing. My little friend performed well in this sea mission. In fact, he should be set as a role model for the sect."
"But you also know that we and the Di An Sect haven't broken up yet, so we can't publicize this matter in a big way. We can only make my friend an unsung hero."
"I have also warned the monks who are on the mission with you one by one not to leak this matter."
Zhao Lin was eager for this, and said hurriedly: "The island owner is doing this to protect the juniors, and the juniors can only ask for it."
Next, Chu Hongtian called Si Cao, who was in charge of finance, to discuss with Zhao Lin the sale of the Lingzhu minerals on the island.
Zhao Lin and Si Cao finalized the details such as the grade, price, and quantity of the goods.
Then he said goodbye and left, boarding the return boat...
Two hours later, I set foot on the land of Dongfu County.
Zhao Lin looked at the bustling market. Although he had only been away for half a month, he felt as if he had been away from another world.
"Senior Brother Zhao."
"Shopkeeper Zhao is back!"
Entering the Jindan Hall, Gu An, Zhuang Heng, Li Sancai and others immediately greeted them.
"Well, I'm back!"
There were many customers in the shop, Zhao Lin responded and let them go about their business.
When he walked into the inner hall, he saw Gu Guzhao sitting in front of the coffee table in a daze, with a sad look on his face.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, you are finally back!"
Guzhao saw Zhao Lin and quickly stood up to greet him.
"Gu Gu, I think the store's business is pretty good, why are you worried?"
Zhao Lin was in a happy mood, pulled Gude Zhao to sit down together, and asked with a smile.
Gu Guzhao nodded and said: "Business is good, but the robes are sold out."
Zhao Lin was a little puzzled and asked: "I remember that more than half a month ago, we just made a purchase and it was sold out so quickly?"
Gudzhao sighed, "The robes are expensive, and I can only sell a few pieces a month."
"Every time we purchase goods, we base them on past sales estimates. I thought it was almost the end of the year and wanted to keep more cash in the account, so I didn't buy more robes."
"Unexpectedly, a foreign buyer came this morning and bought all the robes in the store. He said he would come back to pick up the goods in two days. I am worried about this."
Zhao Lin understood Gudzhao's intention and wrote back to Chijun to buy the robe. He would definitely have to hire someone to escort him, which would be a huge expense and basically equivalent to a wasted trip.
If more goods are purchased in order to share costs, it will eat up the store's cash flow, resulting in lower profits and affecting everyone's dividends.
Zhao Lin thought for a while and said, "Let's put the robes aside for now. How much money do we still have on our account?"
Gude Zhao was stunned for a moment and felt a little bad, but he still answered truthfully: "I checked with Wan Accountant the day before yesterday and found that there are about 400,000 spirit coins."
After speaking, he looked at Zhao Lin carefully and added: "Shopkeeper Zhao also took away 20,000 spirit coins."
Zhao Lin withdrew the spirit coins in order to practice second-level spells. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Okay, I will return the money as soon as possible, but the first priority is to buy a spirit boat for transporting goods."
"Buy a spirit boat?"
The sweat on Gude Zhao's head suddenly dropped. A spiritual boat transporting goods was worth hundreds of thousands of spiritual coins, so there was no money left.
"Buy it now? Why don't you wait until after the new year?"
“Buy it now!”
Zhao Lin's tone was gentle, but his expression was extremely firm. In a few days, he would go to Chiwei Island to purchase spirit beads. He must have a spirit boat of his own.
Gude Zhao couldn't twist his thigh with his arm, so he had to agree: "Okay, then I'll go with Shopkeeper Zhao."
Zhao Lin naturally agreed and called Tang Zhengquan along.
Tang Zhengquan is a luck official and has more than ten years of experience in boating, so he can help with inspections.
There are two shops selling spirit boats in Fang City, both of which are located in the most prosperous areas.
One is called Yuzhou Pavilion, and the other is called Baochuantang.
The three of them first came to Yuzhou Pavilion.
Zhao Lin had passed by this store before, but had never gone inside.
I just discovered today that Yuzhou Pavilion occupies an extremely large area, larger than the four Jindan Halls, and is decorated with magnificent splendor and beauty.
Zhao Lin was secretly stunned. For such a big store and in such an area, the rent would probably be an astronomical figure.
But then I thought about it. Spirit boats can easily cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of spirit coins. Just selling one of them can be worth several months of the Jindan Hall's turnover.
In other people's eyes, this little money is probably nothing.
The customers in the shop are also obviously different. They are either rich or noble in their clothing. Most of them are Foundation Establishment Realm monks, and there are two Purple Mansion Realm monks.
"What kind of spirit boat do you guests want to see?"
Seeing that Zhao Lin and the other three were Qi Refining Realm monks and dressed very ordinary, the waiter forced a smile and asked.
Zhao Lin said bluntly: "We want to buy a spiritual boat that is mainly used to transport cargo and can carry ten people."
"Being able to sail in the water and fly in the air, the key is that the defense must be good." (End of Chapter)
