Originally, Zhang Zhaohai was also one of the participants in the spiritual vein, but now he is dead, and it seems that there are no heavyweight descendants in his family... So the Zhang family directly sent someone over to take over Zhang Zhaohai's part?
Ning Zhishui's mind raced, this meant that the spiritual vein was more important than he thought!
The direct descendant of the Zhang family... Ning Zhishui couldn't help but smile when he thought of the kick that old man Zhang made when he climbed the ladder to heaven.
Ning Zhishui returned home and met Hua Jiaqing and Leng Lu one after another.
"I've inquired, and 30% of the women and men in the building were abducted. The rest came voluntarily or were sold by their families," Hua Jiaqing said. "But after staying there for so long, many have become accustomed to this kind of life and no longer resist. Those who still try to escape are closely watched by the stewards, and the clients assigned to them are often the most difficult to deal with."
"Among the stewards, there are two who are relatively friendly, and Steward Cao is one of them."
"Taoran hasn't been receiving any customers these past few days, citing illness as an excuse."
Hua Jiaqing told Ning Zhishui everything she and Hu Shaoan had discovered in the past few days. Ning Zhishui nodded and said, "I understand. I will go to the building tomorrow."
After Hua Jiaqing left, Leng Lu came over.
"I have connections to Qianlu City in Cangqingzhou and Lvling City in Moxuanzhou. Tomorrow I will personally take people there to discuss the purchase of goods. Our Wuji Pavilion will be open in three days at the earliest."
"Well, I'll leave the shop's management to you. From now on, you'll be the official owner." Ning Zhishui said with a smile, "Also, we've taken over the black market stall. From now on, you'll have people pick out some goods to sell at the market every time. Take these bottles of pills and sell them on the black market."
Leng Lu was stunned and took it with confusion, "What kind of pill is this?"
"This is a unique elixir in the world, created by 'Master Shui'. I have written down the efficacy and name of the elixir on a piece of paper."
"Hiss... the price is so high?" He was shocked when he saw the price written on the paper.
Ning Zhishui was not worried. "It's not expensive. If it can't be sold at first, someone will be vying for it later."
The reason she set up such a stall was to build momentum for herself.
In the future, the pills made with her own formula will be sold through this black market. Don’t underestimate the black market, it has its own channels of dissemination.
Moreover, the more hidden it is from public view, the more likely it is to arouse people's curiosity. After a few more times, the reputation of the "Water Master" will spread far and wide, and it may attract more heated discussions than if it were sold in a regular shop.
"Genius" also needs to be packaged. Ning Zhishui originally had this idea, and coupled with what President Meng said about the Immortal Grass Society...
Jiang Baizhou will not always be inferior to the other two continents. This is just the beginning.
After Leng Lu put away his things, he said, "I will go meet Shopkeeper Zhao tomorrow. We will get to know each other so that we can have more contact in the future."
Ning Zhishui nodded, "Okay."
The next day, Ning Zhishui arrived at Zuifeng Pavilion.
She looked at the many fairies and gentlemen standing below, as well as some of their "reserves", that is, those who were still young and could only serve as waiters, and would stay in the pavilion when they grew up.
"Since I became the owner of Zuifenglou, I have not altered it, but now I intend to make some changes. Similarly, your arrangements will also change accordingly."
Ning Zhishui looked at them and said, "Everyone, those who want to stay in the building and maintain the status quo, stand on the left. Those who want to pay their own ransom to regain their freedom and leave the building, stand in the middle. Those who don't want to stay here but have nowhere else to go and are willing to work with me and do other legitimate livelihoods, stand on the right. I'll give you a quarter of an hour to think about it. There's no need to rush into making a decision."
The Zuifenglou, which had been completely silent, suddenly became noisy. Everyone looked at each other, their jaws dropping in shock.
"Is this true?"
"You can pay the ransom and leave? Isn't this a trick to get rid of dissidents?"
"Did she mean what she said?"
After everyone got over the shock, they gathered together to discuss it with people they knew.
Someone directly raised his voice and asked Ning Zhishui: "Excuse me, host, is what you said true? If I want to pay the ransom, how many crystals will it take?"
The man who was speaking had an indescribable charm, with narrow eyes and a long, drawn-out voice with an upturned ending.
In terms of appearance, she is the best even in this building.
He is Liu Che, the most famous Langjun, also known as Langjun Che.
"Of course I'm serious. Don't worry about the ransom. The maximum is 10,000 crystals, and the minimum is 300. You can go to Manager Hua to ask for the details." Ning Zhishui said.
Even Liu Che was stunned. "I'm ten thousand?"
"Yes, you have the same amount as Fairy Tao Ran and Fairy Zhu Xin, both have ten thousand." Hua Jiaqing said.
Zhu Xin and Tao Ran looked at each other with undisguised surprise in their eyes.
Is ten thousand expensive? Of course it’s expensive for ordinary people, but for top stars like them, it’s practically free!
If it were in the old Zuifenglou, let alone ten thousand, if they wanted to redeem it, they would probably not be able to get the manager and the owner to agree even if they paid one hundred thousand.
Because they are cash cows. No matter how much money you make from selling them at one time, it is better to keep them so that you can create wealth continuously.
Seeing everyone's surprise, Hua Jiaqing briefly explained the ransom for each file.
In a nutshell, the ransom is high if the price is high normally, ranging from fifteen thousand to thirty thousand, but the children working as waiters in the building only need three hundred.
This price is definitely affordable for everyone.
"I want to redeem myself, I want to leave here..."
A fairy made the decision first. She walked up to Hua Jiaqing excitedly and wanted to pay the ransom on the spot.
It was Hua Jiaqing who told her to line up first, and that she would redeem everyone one by one after Lord Ning finished explaining the matter. Only then did she stand in the middle as Ning Zhishui had said.
Others also made their choices after coming to their senses.
Like Mr. Che, he decisively stood in the middle and chose to leave.
Most people want to leave. Everyone has earned enough money to redeem themselves. Of course, they want the freedom of the sky more than being bound.
After a while, nearly half of the people stood in the middle.
About 30% of the people are willing to stay in Zuifenglou. Most of these people are used to this place and know that they don’t know anything else. Instead of taking risks, they would rather continue with their current life.
Not everyone has the courage to make changes. Perhaps these people were forced at the beginning, but over time, their unwilling hearts gradually calmed down, and they felt that this seemed to be a good thing.
The other 20% are waiting and watching, not knowing what to choose.
This results in very few people choosing the third option.
"OP, what do you mean by a legitimate business?" Tao Ran walked forward and asked.
She came here with Zhu Xin.
