"Then who are you?" The scholar asked very rudely, no wonder he couldn't do business.
"In the next week Yang, a businessman."
"You are not a local, are you?"
"No, I will live in the far north in my next life, and I will come to Suiling just to do business." Zhou Yang's words were half true and half false.
"Brother is a businessman and is well aware of the three flavors of the shopping mall, so I won't ask any more questions. It's such a good thing, why don't you allow it!" The scholar no longer hesitated and agreed.
"Fellow Taoist, please be happy. Let's draw up a contract. By the way, I don't know your surname?"
"I'm Ouyang Chong."
"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Ouyang. I don't know where the immortal lives. Is there any sect?"
"I am originally from Kuohai. Two years ago, my younger sister and I went with my elders to seek relatives in Suiling. However, just half a year ago, we encountered bandits while collecting medicine on Yufeng Mountain. My elders, relatives and friends came to protect my brothers and sisters. The two of them fought hard and died, and the younger sister was also seriously injured. I had no choice but to make a living by setting up a stall in this market. I originally planned to earn some spiritual stones and treat the younger sister, but it's a pity that I'm not doing business. s material."
Ouyang Chong told his story one by one.
"It turns out that fellow Taoist Ouyang has such an unfortunate experience. How is your sister doing now? Where is she recovering from her injuries?"
"It's right next to Fangshi. We can barely survive. No serious problems for the time being." A trace of melancholy flashed across Ouyang Chong's face.
"That's it. Now that it's over, I'll go with you to see your sister." Zhou Yang said.
"Thank you for your concern, brother."
"You're welcome, Fellow Taoist Ouyang."
"What a fellow Taoist, I will be your buddy from now on, and you will be my shopkeeper." Ouyang Chong stopped talking about this sad topic.
"Haha, the shopkeeper and the clerk can also be friends. In our free time in the future, we can discuss things." After saying that, Zhou Yang took out a pen and paper and started writing on the counter.
After he finished writing, he handed it over to the scholar.
"How?" Zhou Yang asked after seeing the scholar finish reading the contract.
"No problem." The scholar took the pen and signed his name on the contract directly.
The contract is very simple. The general idea is that Ouyang Chong is hired as a clerk by Yangtian Store in Bojiafang City, and he will be paid two thousand and one grade of spiritual stones per month, and there will be a reward at the end of the year. However, Ouyang Chong had to obey the shopkeeper's arrangements in business, and had to work for at least two years, and he would be allowed to stay after two years.
"These materials of yours are worth about 19,000 spirit stones. I will sell them for 20,000. Together with this month's monthly quota, the total is 22,000 spirit stones." Zhou Yang directly took out a spirit stone bag and handed it to Ouyang Chong. .
"Thank you, shopkeeper. Take these thousand spirit stones back and give them whatever they are worth." Ouyang Chong pointed out a thousand spirit stones and gave them back to Zhou Yang.
"You are really serious! Let's do this. These thousand spirit stones will be counted as the rent of this stall for the next two months." Zhou Yang was really convinced and pushed the spirit stones back.
"The shopkeeper still wants to rent this stall?" Ouyang Chong was stunned. Could it be that this big business person doesn't even have a stall?
"To tell you the truth, my junior brother and I are new here, and he has already rented a stall." Zhou Yang said.
"I see. Then I'll pay the rent later." Ouyang nodded.
"It's not urgent. By the way, you and I are about the same age, so just call me by name or Taoist friend." Zhou Yang waved his hand.
"The sage said that etiquette cannot be abolished. Now you and I are in an employment relationship, so naturally I have to call you the shopkeeper. Don't call me a fellow Taoist anymore. Just call me by my first name." Ouyang Chong's rotten Confucianism came out again. .
Zhou Yang felt that Ouyang Chong's energy was somewhat similar to that of Cheng Shijie of Ziyuan Sect, both of whom were so accepting of death.
He stopped worrying about it and said, "I'll call you Ouyang."
"good."
"Wait a moment." Zhou Yang took out a transmission note and punched it into the air.
Not long after, Cui Kai came running over.
"How's that? Did you find the stall?"
"Business in this market is very good, and the stalls are also in short supply. It's not easy to deal with." Cui Kai wiped his sweat and said.
"You mean not found!"
"Haha, is there anything I, Mr. Cui, can't do if I take action? Of course I found it!" Cui Kai puffed up his chest and said proudly.
"Then you're wasting so much money, why don't you just answer directly!" Zhou Yang raised his hand, making Cui Kai shrink back in fright.
"I'm not lying. It really took a lot of effort to find a place." Cui Kai said taking credit.
"This is a great achievement for you. Come on, take us to see it!" Zhou Yang stepped forward.
"Wait, you guys? Who else is there besides you?" Cui Kai was confused and stopped Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang looked back at Ouyang Chong.
"He! He's a pretty boy, can he do it?" Cui Kai glanced at Ouyang Chong, looking very disdainful.
"Ahem! Don't be unreasonable. This is Ouyang Chong, the new clerk of our Yangtian store!" Zhou Yang was a little embarrassed, but all scholars are arrogant. It took a lot of effort to convince him, don't make people angry because of Cui Kai's words. .
Ouyang Chong was naturally a little unhappy. How could he call others a pretty boy when they met? Who was this person?
"You've already chosen the name of the store and found the clerk. It's very efficient!" Cui Kai was really impressed.
"Ouyang, this is Cui Kai, my junior brother. Don't worry, this guy is a bit mean, but he is still a good person." Zhou Yang said to smooth things over.
"Ouyang, it's not bad. I've just reached 20, and it's the early stage of Tianyuan! From now on, we can hang out together, just call me shopkeeper Cui." Cui Kai immediately pretended to be the boss.
Ouyang just glanced at him and said nothing, which meant that there was only one shopkeeper, but it was definitely not you.
"Hey!" Cui Kai was about to have a fit, but Zhou Yang stopped him and dragged him to see the stall.
"Why haven't you arrived yet? Where are you?" Zhou Yang and Ouyang Chong followed Cui Kai and walked on the second floor for as long as a stick of incense, but they hadn't seen the rented stall yet.
"We're almost there, not far away." Cui Kai still walked inside.
After another stick of incense, Zhou Yang became impatient, and Cui Kai pointed to the front and said, "Look, that's where it is, it's not bad!"
Zhou Yang looked in the direction he pointed, and the next moment he kicked Cui Kai on the butt and cursed: "Is this the stall you are looking for?"
"How grand, isn't that good?" Cui Kai looked a little aggrieved.
"You're so generous, you've gone to grandma's house, who's going to buy things? Who's going to buy things in such a remote place?" Zhou Yang was really angry and kicked him again, but Cui Kai dodged him.
"It's really not that good. It's not as good as my little stall!" Ouyang Chong also shook his head.
The stall Cui Kai rented was not small, more than ten times larger than Ouyang Chong's, and it also had a warehouse and a rest room, but it was located in the most remote corner of Erzhefang City, far away from the stairs. Almost no one came, so no wonder Zhou Yang got angry.
"This is not bad. It's big and cheap! Look, there are two warehouses and a reception room. When business is not good, you can still meditate there. It's very cost-effective."
This guy is definitely a crow's mouth. The Yangtian store hasn't opened yet, but his first consideration is how to rest when business is not going well.
Even Ouyang Chong felt that this man was a bit high-spirited and secretly said he was worse at doing business than he was.
Zhou Yang was completely speechless. He was simply failing more than succeeding.
Even Ouyang Chong could see that this place was not good, and Cui Kai also realized that it might not be that good, so he muttered: "There are indeed no stalls on the second floor, only this place is left."
"What about the third floor?" Zhou Yang no longer had the intention to fix this guy, and placed his hope on the third floor of Fangshi.
"There is one on the third floor, but it's too small and the price is ridiculously expensive."
"How small?"
"It's half smaller than that one." Cui Kai pointed at Ouyang Chong and said.
"Oh, it's too small." Zhou Yang was a little helpless. In this case, it's no wonder Cui Kai, it seems that there is really no good place.
"Go and book the stall on the third floor." After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yang rubbed his forehead and said.
"Then here..."
"Leave it alone for now." Zhou Yang waved his hand, indicating that he should go and do it quickly.
"Okay." Cui Kai took the order.
"Ouyang, how long did you rent your stall and how did you settle the rent?"
"One year, renewable after one year, rent is paid monthly."
"Well, you are still taking care of the original stall, let's make a warehouse here first."
"Is there anyone watching over the warehouse?" Ouyang Chong asked.
"Not yet. Do you have anyone available?" Zhou Yang is currently short of suitable manpower.
"Yes, yes, but..." Ouyang Chong's face turned slightly red.
"Haha, you don't know how to do business?" When Zhou Yang saw this, how could he not see what Ouyang Chong meant.
"The shopkeeper is really discerning! I have a literary friend who is also a casual cultivator. He makes a living by helping people predict good and bad luck. Although he doesn't know how to do business, he is still very smart."
"Divination and calculation? Isn't that a mysterious master!" Zhou Yang became interested.
"Master Xuan? Ahem, he, he can't reach the level of Master Xuan." Ouyang Chong's face turned even redder.
Zhou Yang smiled bitterly in his heart. This scholar was so honest. He showed everything on his face, and people could guess what he was thinking at a glance. Needless to say, this literary friend of his must be a half-assed master. He must be very inaccurate and find it difficult to support his family.
If he was really a mysterious master, he would have been snatched away by the sect long ago by helping others with divination and calculation.
But now is the time to hire people. With Ouyang Chong's character, he will definitely make friends whose character will not be that bad.
"Let's do it this way. Let's get some goods first today and then fill up your stall. Find your friend tomorrow and we'll meet and talk." Zhou Yang said.
"Yes, from the shopkeeper."
Zhou Yang took out some of the mid-level materials he had on him and placed them on the counter one by one. He also bought some goods from other places and finally filled the counter.
He increased the price of materials by 20% from the original price, which was slightly higher than other stalls.
"Shopkeeper, you haven't clarified my doubts yet!" After cleaning up everything, Ouyang Chong stared at the new prices and brought up the old matters again.
"This is one of them. In fact, the two of us have discussed it before. Let's not talk about how many goods you can sell. Even if you can't do this, you won't have a firm foothold in the market." Zhou Yang pointed to those things. Price tag said.
"Wish to hear its good fortune!"
