Apocalyptic Dark Age

"Last time I left Crystal Lake, I got a gift from you. I didn't know the value at the time. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have dared to ask for it..."

Yun Tu suddenly mentioned energy crystals, and Gao Feng was slightly startled. Is this thing also valuable in the family? While thinking about it, he saw Yuntu looking around, then raised his feet and took off his boots, almost subconsciously. Gao Feng held his breath. If there was anything that Gao Feng found terrifying in his previous life, it was definitely not the battlefield, but the long-term battle. Later, Yun Tu took out a small cloth bag from his shoe on his comrade's feet.

Yuntu's shoes are flashy boat-shaped shoes with complex patterns. The crescent moon is tilted at the top. The small cloth bag should be placed there. There are small cloth bags hidden in both shoes. Once opened, four energy crystals reflect the hidden brilliance. .

"When I first came here, I didn't know the prices. There were rare good things in the wilderness everywhere, which dazzled me. After receiving the compensation from my family, I went shopping everywhere for fun. After a month, I discovered that my All the money was spent.

Only then did I realize that it is difficult to move without money. If you are in the wilderness, you can just grab whatever you need. Here, any person may have a background of Xianjun Jialuo and Shanshan Jialuo behind him. Even an ordinary person would not dare to do so. Damn it, I almost went hungry. Then I took an energy crystal and found a way to sell it. As a result, I got ten times the obsidian that the family compensated. There were still people who wanted to track me down. Unfortunately, I am the best at using my brain and saw something was wrong. Son, bribed the steward of the Xuan Ye family and sneaked into the inner city... "

After Yun Tu finished speaking, he sighed and said:

"I'm a little bit better. Wild Garos come to the city-state every day these days. They make the same mistake as me. They buy good things as soon as they get the obsidian. They don't know how to bargain. They spend all the money and have no job. They can only join the army and go to the front line. They think it is like being in the wilderness, and they don’t think about it. There are thousands of Garos in a city-state, and they are useless on the battlefield..."

In fact, there is no need for Yuntu to say this. Gao Feng had already predicted that when a wilderness person who is used to poverty arrives in a big city and suddenly has a large amount of money, he will be a nouveau riche. He does not understand the living environment of the city-state and does not know how to manage it. , If they don’t sacrifice their lives, who will?

"How many Garos have come from the wilderness this time?"

Gao Feng breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw Yun Tu put his shoes back on.

"Who knows? Every day, Jialuo comes over. At first, he thinks he is an uncle. After being beaten well, he calms down. He spends his money honestly with the compensation, and goes to war after spending it. , I understand, the family is cutting flesh with a soft knife, and you are willing to suffer..."

As far as IQ is concerned, Yuntu is outstanding among the Garro. Although he seems conservative in his thinking mode, he can already chat with Gao Feng.

"Since it's so difficult here, do you want to go back to the wilderness?"

Gao Feng's heart moved. Seeing the strength of his family, Yuntu would not be as arrogant as before. Let him sit in the western wilderness and have more security guarantees.

Yun Tu didn't even think about it, he shook his head and said: "I didn't think so before, but now that I think about it, it's true that the wilderness people are barbarians. They have no qualities at all. They just eat and wait to die all day long, or go to war. It's boring. , it’s different here. You can have whatever you want, and you don’t have to kill people to get it. Here, even if you work as a bodyguard for others, you can earn a lot in a month, which is enough to enjoy comfortably, by the way. , the women here are better than women in the wilderness. What do women in the wilderness know? Aren’t they just farming and taking care of the children and doing housework? Even the woman before me would just stay in the tent all day long, waiting for me to have sex with her. How could I understand that? What fun?"

What he said made Gao Feng stunned. Yun Tu handed the energy crystal in his hand to Gao Feng:

"I used one and exchanged it for fifty cloud-patterned obsidian. I used thirty of them to buy a big house with three entrances and three exits. I also bought two nice women. It was enough for my expenses this year. The rest I'll give you back what I bought... and treat the one I borrowed as a loan, and I'll give it back to you when I make money."

Looking at the four crystal stones, Gao Feng shook his head subconsciously, still muttering in his heart: "You must not pick it up, you will get athlete's foot..."

"I never take back the things I give away. Don't worry. They are all old friends who came out of the wilderness. If you insist on being polite to me, I don't like it..."

When Gao Feng spoke about death, Yun Tu sighed: "After all, it's the people in the wilderness who are righteous. I really can't have this thing. It's better to earn a living with both hands. Having money today does not mean having money tomorrow. With a stable income, this I will never worry about having nothing to eat in my life..."

What Yun Tu said makes sense. Today he got a huge sum of money. If he doesn't make progress, he will just sit back and wait for nothing. What can he do when all the money is spent?

However, Gao Feng was determined not to let his hands come into contact with the other party's feet, and still shook his head. The two sides reached a stalemate, exchanging blame for the four energy crystals. Finally, Gao Feng came up with a compromise:

"Otherwise, the energy crystals will count as your principal, and you can buy a store in the city-state to sell wilderness specialties. No one is more familiar with the good things of the wilderness than you..."

"Open a store?" Yuntu was stunned at first, and his mind was spinning rapidly. He thought of the dazzling array of products in the outer city, which made him want to spend money. He liked everything before buying it, but after buying it, he found that he didn't need it for the time being. He wanted to get rid of it, but he couldn't bear it. It doesn't matter where you put it, there's no room, it's still confusing. When Gao Feng said about opening a store, the first thing he thought of was that it could be sold, even if it was cheaper, it would be worth it.

"In the eastern wilderness, there are now Yunhuang, Ye Kui, and Fatty An, the Eastern Xianfeng. You purchase daily necessities, farm tools, books, etc. from the city-state, send them there, and then give them the furs, game, real rice, and The ores and plants are shipped here and sold at ten times the cost you paid..."

"ten times?"

Yuntu couldn't sit still and looked at Feng Feng in disbelief. Feng Feng was speechless. Isn't that what everyone doing business is like?

"At least ten times. You have to hire a few locals as clerks and a manager, preferably someone with store experience. He will tell you how to set the price. You don't have to worry about anything. Just remember one thing, you spend If you buy a piece of obsidian, you have to earn ten yuan. Then you give one piece to the steward, and several of the clerks add one piece together, and keep one piece in the shop for purchasing goods. You have to make seven quick bucks. The more you earn, the more they share. many……."

Gao Feng's explanation made Yun Tu feel like a door to his life had suddenly opened. Although he couldn't understand it, he knew one thing. If what Gao Feng said was really feasible, he would have enough money in his life.

"By the way, if you make money, you must have a good relationship with the tax collector. If he wants to collect a tax of five obsidian stones, you should tell him that you only earned three obsidian stones in total, and you will still lose money after paying the tax. Then secretly give him a piece of obsidian. You must give it to him personally and don't let the locals interfere. Only in this way can you continue the business. If someone makes trouble, don't fight with them. Doing business is not about grudges. Win the fight. The business is also ruined. You need to invite them to dinner, give them some small gifts, and secretly tell them that your goods are sold for Master Youming. In this way, I believe no one will turn an eye, unless they want to die in a hurry.

The most important point is to send the best part of the goods to the Anbu. Regardless of whether Youmei wants it or not, the people in the Anbu will want it. Even if they don't support you publicly, the relationship between you and the Anbu will be remembered in people's hearts over time. Don't be afraid of someone plotting against you in private.

Also, the wilderness is not our family's business. You should not conflict with the children of the wilderness family. They go to the wilderness to find a place to make a fortune. If they have a fortune, you can build some warehouses and footholds along the way and open it to them. Even if they are mutually exclusive, In competition, they will not lose face and stab you in the back. Even if someone is shameless, most people still want to be shameless. In this way, you can stand on the same line with them, jointly control the materials in the wilderness, set the same price, and exclude What other people think of wilderness.

There is endless money to be made. As long as you find a way, it is easy to make money. But in addition to making money, you must also learn to spend money. As you said yourself, wilderness people without money are nothing in the city-state. You can spend money. To hire them, you don't need to be very capable, as long as they are willing to listen to you, set up a convoy, protect the safety of the goods along the way, and unite them around you. Even if someone is behind the scenes, you have to consider the Garo beside you.

It’s not just the wilderness people. If you see that the local Jialuo can’t survive, you can support them. But you can’t give them money directly, but give them the opportunity to support themselves with their own hands. As long as they work for you, in the eyes of others, They are the cornerstone of your power. If you touch you, you will touch their jobs. Only in this way can you truly survive in the city-state. Even if the Anbu is no longer in charge of Youming, you don't have to worry about anyone dealing with you.

With money, power, and subordinates, what's the difference between being in a city-state and being in the wilderness? Even if your daughter gets into big trouble, what are you afraid of? Don’t people just want to be free and at ease in this life? As long as you live comfortably, isn't it the same whether you're in the wilderness or in a city-state?"
