The signing of the contract is still necessary... although both the official and 'Dawn' have the ability to tear up the contract at any time.
but.
Signing this contract means that Dawn is no longer an illegal organization... but the only organization other than the Super Martial Alliance that has the legal right to sell Abyss Materials in Daxia.
Of course, the current Dawn cannot be compared with the Super Martial Alliance.
The scale is so different that even the first store has not been opened yet.
But with this contract, as long as they don't completely break off relations with the authorities, it can be foreseen that in the future, 'Dawn' will inevitably become one of the giants of Daxia.
"So, Mr. Zhang, what is Poxiao going to do next? The first store should be opened in Canglan City, right?"
The ceremony was simple. Zhang San and Qin Fang signed the contract in a flamboyant manner. Qin Fang used the official seal and signed his own name. Zhang San simply signed the two words "Dawn".
After the ceremony, Qin Fang was obviously much more relaxed. He smiled and asked Qin Jinnian.
"nature."
Qin Jinnian nodded without hesitation: "Canglan is the birthplace of my Dawn, so the first store should naturally be opened in Canglan City."
"Has the address been chosen?"
"That's not the case yet... Speaking of which, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Director Qin for help with the matter of opening a store. After all, we're a bunch of idle people in the mountains, and our connections in the city are far less than those of Director Qin and Director Jiang."
Qin Fang smiled and nodded after hearing this, saying, "If it weren't for Poxiao's intervention, no one would know what the situation in Canglan City would be like now. Although Mr. Zhang said that he did it for revenge, it helped us Night Watchmen a lot anyway. I have never known how to thank Mr. Zhang, but now that I have the opportunity, I naturally have no choice but to do my part."
He did not refuse at all. After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment and continued, "In fact, according to the previous idea, the government is going to invest in a share... so the shops in various cities have actually been selected for you. If you are willing to let the government invest, as long as the Dawnbreaker personnel are in place, you can open it at any time... But since your organization is unwilling to accept supervision, then this matter will not be mentioned. However, those shops are temporarily empty. But this is not free..."
Qin Fang suddenly pointed Qin Jinnian in the right direction.
Qin Jinnian's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Do you have a list of stores?"
"Of course there are, but let's be honest, according to the market price, these shops are not cheap."
“Money is not an issue.”
"Okay then... I'll ask Xiaotong to send you the shops in various cities... But you have to be quick. The selected addresses are all prime locations in each city. They are official assets. They are temporarily vacant because of the leader's order. But when the news spreads, the cities will know that 'Dawn' refused official participation, and these shops may be rented or sold to other people. It will be difficult to find shops in such a good location again."
Qin Fang said.
Qin Jinnian nodded and said with a smile, "I'll hold on tight."
In fact, what's the point of holding on? He only has 3 billion now.
It seemed like a lot in the past, but if it was used to open a shop, it would be a drop in the bucket.
But Qin Jinnian was not in a hurry... The business he was doing was obviously a seller's market, and it was a rigid demand, so naturally it would be best to have a shop in a good location. If there was really no such thing, it didn't matter at all.
As long as the news gets out, there will be many customers coming to visit...
After all, abyss materials are not only useful to super-powered people, but also to super warriors.
Especially since Qin Jinnian is now selling 'cheap' materials, not the 'expensive' materials from the Super Martial Alliance.
Once it goes on sale, it will definitely be in short supply!
The location of the store is actually not important.
However, if it is in a prime location, it is better, because it represents the influence of Dawn.
You see, every Super Martial Alliance is located in the most prosperous area of the city center. I have never heard of a city's Super Martial Alliance being established in a rural-urban junction on the edge of the city, right? Since Qin Jinnian is planning to do this, of course he must do it well. In his mind, it is completely in line with the Super Martial Alliance.
Otherwise, even if there are branches of "Dawn" all over Daxia in the future, if you look at their locations, they are all at the fringe of urban and rural areas... This will instantly reduce the level of class, right?
So if you can get the shops on this list, you should try to get them. If you really can't get them in a short time, you have to think of a way... Anyway, you have to stay in the city center.
Qin Jinnian was not worried about this... because he was confident.
In this dangerous world, strength is everything.
Qin Jinnian now has enough confidence to face everything.
It might take a little longer... but is that a problem? "By the way, besides the store... are you ready for the warehouse?"
Qin Fang suddenly asked another question.
"Warehouse?"
Qin Jinnian was stunned again.
"Abyss materials are emitting abyss auras all the time. It's nothing in the abyss, but after coming to Earth, it has a significant impact on ordinary humans. Therefore, special warehouses are needed to isolate the impact of the abyss auras on ordinary people... Previously, I thought that the government could also invest in it, so the abyss materials were kept in safe houses in various cities by default. But now..."
"In Canglan City, the materials for Dawn can be temporarily kept in the safe. I can make the decision on this. But for other cities... it's hard to say. Especially... you also know what kind of situation Dawn is facing now. So this point... you have to think about it carefully."
As Qin Fang was speaking, he reminded Qin Jinnian.
Qin Jinnian's eyes flashed when he heard this, and then he nodded slightly.
Indeed, the warehouse is a problem.
The breath of the abyss is a ‘source of pollution’ for ordinary humans. It can cause people to become insane, mad, or even weird...
Now that Dawn has signed the contract, he has become a thorn in the eyes of some big forces. With the power of those big forces, it would be easy for them to interfere, for example, to not allow Dawn to use the city's official safe house.
And if we can't find a proper solution, and these Abyssal Materials cause some problems... For example, if they drive some people crazy...
Then 'Dawn' will become very passive.
And it is foreseeable that this will almost certainly happen...
If those big powers want to seize this qualification, the first thing they have to do is naturally to make "Dawn" lose its qualification.
However, Qin Jinnian soon thought of a way to deal with it.
"Don't worry, it's no problem, we have our own warehouse."
Qin Jinnian said with a smile.
As for the warehouse Qin Jinnian wanted...
Of course, it is the 'black market', 'fragments of the shadow world', and even the 'ruins'.
These places were originally filled with the abyss atmosphere, and ordinary people would never go there. Where else could be more suitable for storing abyss materials than these places?
But there are problems... The biggest problem is that these places are public places, and the safety of storing abyss materials cannot be guaranteed.
This is probably why the authorities would build warehouses instead of directly using these places to store abyss materials.
If there is a clone guarding directly, there is no need to worry about safety.
But the key point is that there are only eight clones, which is definitely not enough. And if we want to open stores all over the country, it means that we need as many storage locations as there are cities...
The clones are even less sufficient.
We are still short of manpower. If we could have more clones...
Hmm? Suddenly, Qin Jinnian was stunned and thought of something.
It is known that the clone can use all his powers, such as dark pupils, shadow control, shadow armor... even the "fire control" and "wind control" he just got... are no exception.
So……
What about the shadow body? The clone... can he still use the shadow body's abilities?
If it is possible, does that mean... a clone can also create a clone? When this thought came to his mind, Qin Jinnian's eyes suddenly lit up.
In theory...
It's totally possible, right?!
After all, all powers can be used, even abilities like Shadow Devouring that are strongly related to the panel can be used, and even the attribute points and shadow points obtained are not discounted at all...
That doesn't make sense, Shadow Body won't work!
If the clone can still clone itself... then Dawn is no longer just an empty shell organization...
But it is a real, huge organization!
And Qin Jinnian actually did it...
One man is an army! When this thought came to him, Qin Jinnian could no longer sit still.
Damn, what a pig brain, I've been worrying about the problem of insufficient manpower... In the end, the answer is right in front of me, but I turned a blind eye to it? Qin Jinnian probably knew why he ignored the "clone of the clone"... because he fell into an inertial thinking... The clone itself is the embodiment of the authority of the shadow body, so naturally, in the process of using the clone, he deliberately ignored the factors that contributed to the existence of the "clone".
Since it has already been used, how can one think of using it again? It is like a person who is playing with a computer. After turning on the computer, how can he want to create another computer in the computer to play with? Is the metaphor not accurate enough? But it is probably the meaning.
It’s not like the clone hasn’t used the ability of the shadow body before… For example, melting into a shadow is used quite often.
However, using a clone and then another clone... I've never tried it!
But Qin Jinnian thinks... there is a high probability that it is feasible!
When he thought of this, Qin Jinnian took a deep breath. Seeing that Qin Fang seemed to want to have a long talk with him, he quickly interrupted him: "I know what Director Qin reminded me. The matter about the shops in Canglan City will be handed over to Director Qin. Tell me how much money it will cost. I will call Director Qin directly... If you can't contact me, you can also contact Qin Jinnian. I still have some things to deal with here. For other things, we can talk about it later when we have time. How about it?"
Qin Fang was stunned when he heard this, but then he smiled gently and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's keep in touch in the future... Well, mentioning this, I have something to say... I don't know what the relationship between Qin Jinnian and Mr. Zhang is, of course, I have no intention of prying. But... Qin Jinnian is only a high school student after all, and Mr. Zhang knows the situation facing "Dawn" better than I do. Letting such a high school student be the only contact person for "Dawn" in public, isn't it... not appropriate? After all... Although I am willing to believe that most of our senior executives are good people, but... there may be some bad apples among them. They may not be able to do anything to Mr. Zhang or "Dawn", but for an ordinary high school student... it may be a little dangerous. That's all I have to say, Mr. Zhang, you can consider it at your own discretion. I am very happy to reach a cooperation with Dawn today."
After saying that, Qin Fang stood up and shook hands with Qin Jinnian again.
Qin Jinnian was slightly stunned. The meaning of Qin Fang's words was already very clear.
After thinking about it carefully, he nodded seriously to Qin Fang: "I know what Director Qin means... Thank you, I will consider it carefully."
As he said this, he held Qin Fang's hand.
Qin Fang smiled and said nothing more.
Then, Zhang San took Wang Wu and Zhao Liu and said goodbye and left.
Qin Fang walked them out of the reception room and watched them get on the elevator. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief and turned back to the office.
"Is this deal concluded just like that?"
Jiang Yetong held it in for a long time and finally couldn't help asking.
Qin Fang smiled and said, "It's done... Next I will send the contract to the leader, and then the leader will send the document to each city."
"So easy?" Jiang Yetong was a little confused.
"Easy?" Qin Fang was frustrated and glanced at Jiang Yetong. "For Poxiao, nothing has happened yet. You will know whether it is easy or not in the future... By the way, send a copy of the store locations to Zhang San. No matter what happens in other cities, Zhang San is a friend to us Canglan... You have seen how worried Zhang has been recently, right? If it weren't for Zhang San, we would also be having a headache now."
Jiang Yetong was stunned for a moment, then after thinking about it, he let out a breath and nodded slightly.
No matter what her personal feelings about Zhang San are, to be honest, at a time when all cities are in a mess due to the evil church, their Canglan City is stable on the contrary.
And all this is indeed thanks to Zhang San and Poxiao.
…
On this side, after leaving the night watchman, several clones simply disappeared in the sparsely populated alley.
The original body turned into a shadow and headed straight for the 'Shadow Fragment World'...
Right now, he didn't even have time to think deeply about Qin Fang's reminder.
Instead, he couldn't wait to let the 'clone' use the 'clone' to see if it would work...
If it works.
Then, next, 'Dawn' can really show its strength!
