"Haha, okay, everything is good. By the way, what about the others, how are they?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
"Except for Mu Liu, who has just recovered from his injury, all of us have broken through to the late stage of Tianyuan. The two brothers You have reached the peak of the middle stage and are not far from breaking through. Miss Xi successfully advanced to the middle stage of Tianyuan, and Cui Kai's injury has recovered. My cultivation has also reached its initial peak. They are all gone, and only the two of me and Xing Luo Beast are responsible for guarding the mansion." Mu Shi replied.
Before Zhou Yang went into seclusion, he gave them a large amount of Fire Spirit Pills and Brown Nether Pills, as well as many cultivation materials. With the addition of the Spirit Gathering Array, it was difficult not to improve his cultivation level.
"How about Wangtian Pavilion and Fangshi?" Zhou Yang asked again.
"Wangtian Pavilion is developing very well, and two other stores have also opened. Yangtianfang City has entered trial operation. There are currently many merchants stationed in it. It will be officially opened just waiting for you to leave the customs." Mu Shi said.
"Okay. I'll go take a look." Zhou Yang was very happy. It was beyond his expectation that Yangtianfang City was built and put into trial operation so quickly.
After leaving the central city, Zhou Yang found that the entire outer city had changed. The ruins had long since disappeared, replaced by straight and wide streets, exquisite pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and picturesque scenery. , there are many shops on both sides of the street, and people are passing through. It is more prosperous than before the war.
In the Nancheng area, the street that belongs to you has also been replaced by a super-large building. A large-scale market that is more than thirty feet high, seven or eight miles wide, and ten miles long stands in front of you. It is no bigger than Bo. Jiafang City is small!
Zhou Yang's eyes widened, and his throat couldn't help but move. He secretly thought that this was definitely a big deal, it was just a blockbuster!
There is a huge plaque hanging in the middle of the gate of Fangshi, but it is covered by red silk, and the name is not revealed. It seems that it will be unveiled until the opening ceremony.
"Brother Zhou, you are out of seclusion!" As soon as Zhou Yang entered Fangshi, he met Liang Qiuyan and Lu Keyu.
"What, you two are leaving?" Zhou Yang asked.
"I'm about to go to my house. If you don't come out of seclusion, I will forcefully call you out!" Liang Qiuyan's expression was a little anxious.
"Why are you so anxious?"
"More and more merchants are moving in now, but the opening ceremony has not been held yet. They are feeling uneasy!" Lu Keyu said.
"That's it. You can just discuss opening the business. You don't have to wait for me." Zhou Yang thought it was a big deal.
"That's okay. You are the largest shareholder and a landlord. How can I do this opening ceremony without you!" Liang Qiuyan shook his head.
"I'm here now, please make arrangements!"
"Well, Lao Lu, you quickly send someone to ask the director of Xiyao and several other directors, tell them that the opening ceremony will be held on time at 3:00 the day after tomorrow, and let them be responsible for notifying the family and related merchants. I will arrange for people to Send an invitation to the Lord's Mansion and the Presbyterian Council of Jiemeng City. Brother, I'm not familiar with the merchants here, so it's up to you." Liang Qiuyan said.
"Okay, I'll go find them right now." Lu Keyu turned around and left.
"I have no problem here. By the way, looking at how busy you are, are you the person in charge of Yangtianfang City?" Zhou Yang asked curiously.
"You really guessed it right. The family attaches great importance to this matter and ordered me to personally take charge of Fang City. This is a hard job. Danfang is much more leisurely than here." Liang Qiuyan said helplessly.
"With you, a fake elixir master, personally taking charge of the city, it's hard not to be angry. Once you've been busy for a while and everything has settled down, you will naturally feel free."
"Yes. By the way, the deputy director Ouyang you arranged is not bad. He is a careful young man." Liang Qiuyan said.
"As long as you think it's okay, he's still a newcomer, so please help him more," Zhou Yang said.
"The newcomers are brave! No, originally we were waiting for public discussion and only built a market, but Ouyang Chong suggested that it would be better to build another auction house in the market. Although it will cost more, it is still worth it." Liang Chong said. Qiu Yan praised.
"Oh, like Bojiafang City?" Zhou Yang had never considered building an auction house, but he didn't expect Ouyang to be so courageous.
"Not bad. In fact, the most profitable place for earning spiritual stones is the auction house. Jie Meng is a good place. Its prosperity is second only to Sui Ling Southwest City. The auction house is definitely popular!" Liang Qiuyan nodded.
"Which one of you is specifically in charge of the auction house?" Zhou Yang asked.
"He proposed it, so he is naturally responsible."
"No, he doesn't have the ability yet. I think it's up to the head of Xi Yao to decide. It's best for the Xi Yao family to send someone to take charge. After everything gets on track, he will consider taking over." Zhou Yang flatly rejected Ouyang Chong.
He has only been in the business world for a short time, and it's not enough to just rely on enthusiasm, especially in the auction house, which is even worse without an experienced elder presiding over it.
"It's already been discussed by the public. It's not easy to change it. It's up to you to say it." Liang Qiuyan was confused.
"Don't worry about it, I'll go talk."
"Okay. Let's go, you, the major shareholder, also inspect Yangtianfang City!" Liang Qiuyan made a gesture of invitation.
"haha okay."
"Yes, yes, this arrangement is very reasonable." The two walked from the first floor to the third floor. More than half of the stalls were occupied by merchants, including many stalls from the six major families such as Xiyao Family and Liangqiu.
Although the structure here is similar to that of Bojiafang City, the various areas are divided into more detailed and specialized areas.
For example, in the daily necessities area, Lingcha Lingguo is divided into one area, clothing and cloth are in another area, and Chengui, straw mats and some small items are divided into another area.
As for the elixirs, magic weapons, and cultivation materials, they are also divided into very fine parts, which is more advanced than in Bojiafang City.
Such segmentation may not be very good in some industries at first, but it will help all customers to select goods, and it will also help to get the name of a certain product out. After a long time, are you still worried about not earning spiritual stones?
"Shopkeeper, are you out of seclusion?" Ouyang Chong, who was busy, saw Zhou Yang approaching and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"Yeah. How are you? Are you okay?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
"I'm a newcomer and have no experience. If Director Liangqiu hadn't been there, I might not have been able to start." Ouyang Chong said modestly.
"You should be honest, it would be nice to have this understanding." He was telling the truth. Managing such a large city was indeed difficult for him as a newcomer.
"Haha, Ouyang is pretty good. With a little polish, he is a good hand." Liang Qiuyan said with a smile.
"Master Liangqiu, you don't have to accompany me anymore, I can just walk around casually." Zhou Yang said politely.
"Okay, take a look. If you have any objections, just raise them." Liang Qiuyan knew that Zhou Yang had something to say to Ouyang Chong, so he left.
The two of them walked to an idle stall, and Zhou Yang said, "I heard that you were the one who proposed the idea of building an auction house?"
"Just imitate Bojiafang City." Ouyang Chong said, rubbing his head.
"Well, that's right. Even those old men didn't think of it, which shows that you are more courageous than them!" Zhou Suo confirmed.
"The shopkeeper's words are serious. I have a lot of things I need to ask them for advice." It seems that Ouyang Chong's mind is still clear.
"You are right. They are not only good people, but also good business people. You should ask them more for advice. By the way, how do you plan to take care of the auction house?" Zhou Yang changed the topic.
In fact, he doesn't know how to manage an auction house, but he can judge and employ people.
"To be honest, I don't have any experience at all. I can only learn by following the instructions." Ouyang Chong said.
"Do you know how to organize a successful auction?" Zhou Yang nodded and asked again.
"We need to hire a professional auctioneer." Ouyang Chong blurted out.
"It's okay to hire an auctioneer, but the auctioneer is only the last part of the auction." Zhou Yang shook his head.
"Are you talking about organizing the supply of goods and attracting buyers?" Ouyang Chong was not ignorant of this.
"anything else?"
"There is also the issue of pricing." Ouyang Chong thought for a while, but he didn't have a clear idea.
"Auctions are different from other businesses. If the first auction is unsuccessful, it will be difficult to turn around." Zhou Yang said solemnly.
"Yes, the first game must get off to a good start, so that the name of Yangtian Auction House can be known. But shopkeeper, I understand now that we should hire experienced people to manage this auction house." Ouyang Chong is not a fool either. The response was quick.
"Don't worry too much. It's not that you can't do it, but that you don't have experience yet. There is no room for mistakes in the first auction. All details must be thought out clearly and everything must be foolproof. If more than ten auctions are not organized, It’s hard to do this well.”
Zhou Yang was afraid of discouraging his enthusiasm, so he did not directly point out that he was not allowed to manage the auction house, but instead gave him guidance in simple and in-depth terms.
"I understand." Ouyang nodded.
"Among the other six shareholders, which one do you think is the most suitable to manage the auction house?"
"It should be the Xiyao family." Ouyang Chong said after a while.
"Well, I think they're suitable, too."
Two days later, the opening ceremony of Yangtianfang City was officially held, and each of the six major families in Suiling City sent a golden elixir master to help.
In addition, forces and merchants closely related to the six major families also arrived one after another and gave them valuable gifts.
More people came from Jiemeng City. Because of Elder Zhou Yang's identity and the influence of the six major families, especially the arrival of the six major golden elixir masters, the city lord Qing Xuzi also made an exception and made an appearance with the six major masters. A deep conversation.
All the other elders from Jiemeng City were also present, as well as many sects, families and merchants. Among these merchants, Fashi Hall gave the heaviest congratulatory gift.
Finally, Qing Xuzi and experts from the six major families presided over the opening ceremony, pushing the opening ceremony to a climax.
After the celebration, Yangtianfang City held a grand banquet to entertain guests from all over the world, which lasted for a whole day and night.
Zhou Yang didn't like this kind of occasion, but he was the major shareholder, so he could only bite the bullet and smile with his face, toasting frequently.
After the banquet was over and the guests were sent away, he took a long breath and ran back to the mansion like a whirlwind.
