Chapter 188 An Idea

Lu Jiu has been idle these days, and she has received several messages asking for help from her city-state in the chat channel. They are all short of potions and want to know if she can purchase some.

I don’t know why, but Xuantian City is already very famous in Long Province. I guess it’s because it helped Jile City last time, so everyone came to give it a try.

Lu Jiu now has two pharmacies in the city-state. She often goes to the one with the beautiful manager, and rarely goes to the other one.

Now the shop run by the beautiful store manager continues to refine various potions, while the remaining pharmacy only makes potions that can remove the negative status of typhoid fever.

She consulted Shen Jufeng about the purchasing requirements of other city-states.

Recently, the tailor shop has produced winter clothes with a warmth property of +50℃. Perhaps because of this, not many people in the city are sick.

Shen Jufeng also bought this piece of clothing as soon as possible. The style was still customized by him. The version was smooth and fashionable. It was obviously a winter coat, but he wore it as if he was going to walk on the runway.

Seeing Lu Jiu wrapped in a down jacket, Shen Jufeng slightly shifted his gaze, "It's not impossible to purchase those, but the price can be slightly increased."

After all, those people are not residents here. They are trading, not doing charity.

Lu Jiu: "Of course, the price will be about one-third higher, but compared to the prices sold in other city-states, this is still good enough."

The medicine for treating the negative state of typhoid fever is really not that expensive, and it is generally affordable to increase the price by one third.

What's more, the price in Xuantian City has been increased by one third.

But Lu Jiu had other ideas: "Our NPCs are so capable. I've added several NPCs with high-level talents to several of my stores. Although they're not store managers, they're also responsible for making products. I want to export all of our products."

She had this idea when the city-state was upgraded to level three, because most of the city-states she knew were not as good as Xuantian City, and the products they produced were also not as good.

Therefore, when upgrading to a third-level city-state, branches are specially opened for all the shops that exist in the second-level city-state, so that one day more goods can be produced and sold to other city-states at a higher price.

Her prices for residents within the city have always been relatively low, but for residents outside the city-state, there is no need to consider so much, as she will keep a good grasp of the prices.

Shen Jufeng folded his hands in front of his stomach, "Yes, is this why you opened so many branches?"

He originally thought that this rich woman had too much money and had no place to spend it, so she opened branches, but he didn't go to those stores often.

Lu Jiu sat cross-legged and talked about his plan. "I was thinking, since the equipment and props made here are so good, why not export them? There is a gap between NPCs, even if they have the same high-level talents."

This is what she found interesting. High-level talent NPCs are not all at the same level; there are differences.

Maybe it was because Shen Jufeng was there when the city was built, and he got some good luck from her. Anyway, the NPCs hired so far are all very good.

Shen Jufeng nodded with satisfaction, “You have made a lot of progress, I thought you wouldn’t consider these.”

In the past, he only participated in some trivial matters in this city-state, and all the really important matters were decided by Lu Jiu herself. Even so, she still made progress.

Lu Jiu was a little flattered when she heard his praise. "That's right. After all, my father built a fortune of hundreds of millions from scratch. I look like my father, and I have inherited some of his business talent."

Shen Jufeng just chuckled, "What's your father's name? He built a fortune of hundreds of millions from scratch, which is impressive."

The fact that he owns a big company is the result of the accumulation of several generations of his ancestors, who also came from the same background as Lu Jiu’s father.

"My father's name is Lu Hongzhi. You probably don't know this, but he once went to Yanjing and I don't know where he saw you. He even mentioned your name at home, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time."

When she first met Shen Jufeng, she couldn't even remember who he was.

Shen Jufeng searched his mind and found that he had never heard of this name. "Maybe I attended a banquet before, and your father happened to be there."

After all, he is a billionaire, so he can still attend some banquets.

Lu Jiu didn't want to reminisce too much and sighed, "Anyway, my dad told me that bigger businesses are easier to run, while smaller businesses are harder to run. I've always remembered that and want to expand the city-state's business, making it a city-state that exports a large amount of goods and is famous throughout Long Province."

"Your father is right. Since you have this idea, then go for it boldly. After all, there are strong and weak city-states, and not every city-state can accommodate an unlimited number of residents. There will always be some weaker city-states."

A first-level city-state can accommodate 10,000 residents, a second-level city-state can accommodate 500,000, and a third-level city-state can accommodate 1 million.

So now the area of ​​the city-state is particularly large, but the area where residents move around is very concentrated because there are not so many people in the city yet.

And where there are strong and weak, there will be demand. The weak can only strengthen themselves and become less weak by purchasing powerful weapons.

The two then began to count and discuss how many city-states needed to purchase and how to sell them in batches.

A city-state in Qiuyu City.

The mayor of the city-state where Ruan Fanyao lived was waiting anxiously, but he did not expect to receive an email later. It was from the mayor of Xuantian City that he agreed to his request to purchase medicines. Not only that, he also listed other practical products in their city-state and attached the selling prices.

Seeing the clearly marked list, the city lord smiled bitterly, "Is this an advertisement or promotion..."

But the things inside really made him excited: a large number of bronze-level weapons, winter clothes that could maintain a temperature of +35-40℃, various effective potions, and props.

He was very interested in one of them, called the Photo Stone, which could record videos. If he had this, it would be great to use it as evidence if there were any conflicts in the city.

Finally, he replied to the letter and chose to buy the maximum quantity of 400 bottles of potion to remove the negative status of typhoid fever, more than 200 sets of winter clothes, and various weapons given by the city lord.

After receiving the money, Lu Jiu expressed her satisfaction. So this is what doing business is like? No wonder her father loves to talk to her about business every day.

In this way, many city-states knew that Xuantian City sold various equipment and props, and those who came to admire it called out to Xuantian City on the dialogue channel, hoping to get a response.

Thanks to the winter clothes and medicines sold here, many city-states have recovered. Winter clothes are very important. Only by dressing warmly can you fundamentally avoid getting sick again.

*

Some city-states are in good condition, while others are in a worse situation.

There are no protective shields, nor enough medicines and winter clothes, and many residents died this winter.

These people are looking forward to the end of winter so that they can leave the city-state where they are currently. If they still stay in this place next winter, they will definitely not survive.

Lu Jiu was still worried that his city-state had such a large capacity but not many residents.

However, they did not know that a great human migration was about to take place, and at that time, city-states with good living environments would experience their first population boom.

But at this time, she was contentedly trading goods with the city lords.

There will still be 8k updates tomorrow, and we will be on holiday after today!
