Five Elements Sect, Yue Qing's Cave
Lin Jiang waited at the door for a while, and Yue Qing came out with a smile on his face. He had already established his foundation. There were too many fools, and many people were willing to support him. A few years ago, Yue Qing had gathered enough merit points, exchanged for foundation-building pills, successfully established his foundation, and opened up his own cave.
"How come Junior Brother Xiao has time to come to see Senior Brother today?"
Yue Qing said. Yue Qing was very sure that Lin Jiang saw through his tricks at the beginning, so he ran away. In the following years, the two had less contact.
"I haven't seen Senior Brother Yue for a long time. I came to see Senior Brother Yue today."
"Haha, come in,"
Yue Qing laughed. He knew that Lin Jiang must have something to do with him.
"Senior Brother Yue, do you know that Medicine City is going to hold a big celebration?"
"I know, Medicine City is expanding, and my uncle is one of the supervisors."
"Oh,"
Lin Jiang raised his eyebrows. It seems that Yue Qing's uncle is quite amazing. He can get such a job.
"Brother Xiao, do you have any ideas too?"
"I've read some travel notes written by fellow Taoists about the centennial celebration of Yunzhong City. According to what is written in the books, if the flow of people in a city increases dramatically, there will be opportunities everywhere and spirit stones everywhere for those who see business opportunities."
"Haha, great minds think alike. But Brother Xiao, if you take action now, it will be too late. All the businesses in the new city area have been occupied by our uncles and ancestors. We don't stand a chance."
Yue Qing smiled even more happily. It seemed that there was really something to discuss today. However, the biggest piece of cake had already been taken away by the big guys in the sect, and he couldn't even get a piece of land.
"We can't touch this kind of business. We have no chance to do it. Compared with the big guys in the sect, we can just drink some soup."
"It seems that Junior Brother Xiao really has an idea. Tell me in detail."
"Okay, then I will tell you my idea. In the past few days, I have read no less than a hundred travel notes about Yunzhong City. Yunzhong City is celebrating its centenary. Millions of immortal cultivators from other places will flock to Yunzhong City, which will bring unlimited business opportunities.
And the most important things for immortal cultivators are elixirs, talismans, tools, and formations, especially elixirs, foundation-building elixirs, and five-element golden fruit elixirs, which are extremely attractive. My Five Elements Sect is known for its spiritual plants, and Cangcheng is also known as the Medicine City. There is no shortage of spiritual medicines and elixirs, but there must be a lot of people doing this business. We have no advantage in competing with them. We have to find another way."
"How to find another way?"
"Among food, clothing, housing and transportation, food is my first choice."
"If it's not a high-level spiritual meal, how much can
it sell for?" Yue Qing shook his head. A dish of high-level spiritual meal can sell for thousands of spiritual stones, or even tens of thousands. He didn't think that those low-level spiritual meals could sell for much money.
"Senior Brother Yue, you seem to have underestimated the profit of spiritual meals. I can guarantee that after ten days or half a month, we can make at least more than 50,000 spiritual stones just by selling low -level spiritual meals.
" "Junior Brother Xiao, don't make fun of me. Low-level spiritual meals are settled with spiritual beads. How much do you have to sell for 50,000 spiritual stones? How can I afford to rent such a big store?"
"When did you say
you wanted to rent a store?" "How can you buy it without a store? By walking around the streets?"
"I rely on walking around the streets. Tell the truth, senior brother. Junior brother hasn't made any powerful friends in the sect over the years. Senior brother is the only one. If not, this benefit would not be yours."
"Tell me about it in detail. If it really works, then what about my senior brother cooperating with you? You should know my senior brother's credibility, there is nothing to say about it,"
Yue Qing said immediately. His personality has not collapsed yet. He has all the brothers he has sworn brotherhood with. This is his team, but he is not at a loss. If the Qi training period sponsors him 100 spirit stones, he will give back a little more, but the earning ability of the two is different. It is so difficult to earn 100 spirit stones in the Qi training period, but it is easy for him. In the end, he still earns the most.
Lin Jiang immediately took out his own plan. His plan is very simple. From now on, he will hoard low-level spirit meat on a large scale, rent a warehouse outside the city, and freeze it with the ice formation. When the big celebration begins, he will take out the meat and thaw it. At that time, let alone doing catering themselves, even if they do wholesale, they can make a fortune, because the price will definitely increase at that time.
And they can also do it themselves, find a few disciples with low cultivation and good cooking skills, make a large number of assembly-line production, and then make it into boxed lunches, and send people to sell it on the streets and alleys, winning by quantity.
And don't be afraid of having no business. Lin Jiang himself has been a casual cultivator for more than a hundred years. He knows what the situation is like for casual cultivators at the bottom. It's really like breaking a piece of spiritual stone into eight pieces to use. And casual cultivators are not short of poor people.
"Junior Brother Xiao, is this really a good idea?"
Yue Qing was very moved by Lin Jiang's words. He found that this trick was indeed very good, and the production site could be placed outside the city, so the cost could be very low.
"Not so good, this is money that goes against conscience, because when we do this, the small vendors in Medicine City will be squeezed out of business by us. Senior Brother Yue, do you make money from this?"
"You bastard who doesn't make money when you have money"
Yue Qing suddenly shouted, what's wrong with making money that goes against conscience, how much is conscience worth, people can be sold by pound.
······
30 miles outside the medicine city.
Lin Jiang came to a village called Jiangshan Town. Yue Qing was already waiting with a few people. When they saw Lin Jiang, they exchanged pleasantries.
"Junior Brother Xiao, according to your request, three warehouses have been renovated and cold attribute formations have been set up. A piece of raw meat can be frozen into ice in a stick of incense at most."
"How much meat can these three warehouses hold?"
"At least hundreds of thousands of pounds, I don't know the details."
"Try to fill it up."
"Fill it up, but the problem is that we don't have money. We haven't decided how big it should be."
"Then let's decide now."
"Okay, we discussed it and decided to invest 50,000 spirit stones to do this."
"Senior Brother Xiao is in the foundation-building stage, so we'll invest 50,000 spirit stones?"
"I'll invest 10,000 spirit stones, and the rest will be for my brothers. I have other businesses to do."
Yue Qing shook his head. It's not that he's timid, but that he has no money. Before the foundation-building period, his income increased greatly, but his expenses also doubled. 10,000 spirit stones are his limit.
"What about the other brothers?"
"We'll invest a total of 20,000 spirit stones."
"Okay, I'll pay the remaining 20,000."
"Tsk tsk, Junior Brother Xiao is a real person who doesn't show his face."
"This is all my wealth. I sold all the merit points on my identity jade butterfly. If you want to play, let's play big."
Lin Jiang said. He also invested 20,000 spirit stones to show his intention. If he really invested all his wealth, Medicine City would not be able to afford it, and he would lose money.
"Okay, then sign the contract."
"No, this time I want to swear a heart demon oath."
"Junior Brother Xiao, are you so serious?"
"20,000 spirit stones are my wealth in the Five Elements Sect for decades. I'm counting on making a fortune this time so that I can buy a foundation-building pill. I think the other brothers think so too."
"We agree,"
the four people around Yue Qing also said immediately. They couldn't compare to Lin Jiang's wealth. Five thousand spirit stones per person was really all their wealth.
"Okay, let's just do it."
Yue Qing had no choice but to agree. He didn't think this business could be big or profitable, so he didn't think of cheating the cheaters.
"Since we have already formed an alliance, let's act separately. The monster meat will depend on Senior Brother Yue. I will negotiate with Senior Brother Zheng Yi. At that time, Linggu will be responsible for them. They will purchase a large amount of it at the usual price."
"Monster meat is no problem. I have already found someone to go far away to collect it. Don't buy it above the second level. Just the middle and lower grades of the first level. The more the better. My brothers will take care of it."
"Who will be responsible for the takeaway boxes and chopsticks?"
"I will do it. I am from Jiangshan Town. I have already talked to the mortals in the town."
A man next to Yue Qing stood up and said. Asking mortals to do things will make the price even lower. A few spirit stones can allow a large group of people to work for a year.
"Good,"
Lin Jiang exclaimed. Asking mortals to do things can lower costs and make him a good capitalist.
"I have found a chef. Junior Brother Xiao can teach them in the next few days to avoid being in a hurry. I have received news that the grand celebration of Medicine City will be in May next year, which is less than half a year away. Our Five Elements Sect has sent people to various places to promote it. At that time, all the prominent independent cultivators, sects, and families in Yunzhou will be invited to come,"
Yue Qing said. The Five Elements Sect is one of the three overlords in Yunzhou. Who dares not to come after the Five Elements Sect has sent an invitation letter? The scale of this grand celebration must be very large.
In the next few days, Lin Jiang was in Jiangshan Town, discussing the recipe with the chef invited by Yue Qing. Lin Jiang's idea was not to make it too complicated. Just braise the meat. Make a few big pots bigger than people. You can braise hundreds or thousands of kilograms at a time. After the braise is done, just put it in a paper box. It's simple and quick. It took
Lin Jiang a few days to copy the braised meat that he had made in the Lin family, and then asked people to collect spices and stockpile raw materials.
The packaging boxes were also ready. The size was determined by how much spiritual energy could be refined in the early, middle, and late stages of Qi training. After the style was determined, Yue Qing went to find a paper manufacturer to place an order. There was no need to worry about technical problems. In the world of cultivation, these were all minor problems.
Everything was planned. Lin Jiang asked for a trial operation and made 500 copies with everyone to sell in Medicine City. After a few days, the response was neither good nor bad.
Because there are not many floating populations in Medicine City now, most residents have fixed residences in Medicine City. It is more cost-effective for them to buy vegetables and cook by themselves. However, the vendors in the Medicine City Market like this kind of boxed lunch very much because it saves trouble and time. Several partners were
still a little nervous, but Lin Jiang was very confident. He felt that as long as the price was slightly lowered, it would be a little lower than the price of those vendors selling food in the city, and it would definitely be very popular.
