Due to the dicine he sold fetching a much higher price than he had anticipated, Yang Haoran did not sell all the dicine he had. He only brought out a portion to sell.
If it was not enough, he could always bring out more dicine to sell later. If it was enough, he would not be foolish enough to just sell all the dicine.
The reason was simple - the party purchasing his dicine would definitely make a profit when they resold it. Otherwise, why would they bother purchasing it in the first place?
So, Yang Haoran felt that rather than letting the other party pocket the difference, it would be better for him to keep that profit. This way, he would not incur any losses.
According to his initial plan, he had intended to open a grocery store in the Underworld, selling all sorts of miscellaneous items. As long as they had value, he could sell them, and he could try to keep the prices as low as possible, as long as he could still make a profit.
As for the source of goods, he would have to use so shady ans to obtain them. He had already planned how to go about it.
However, when he discovered that the dicine Feng Xiao had refined was even more expensive than he had imagined, he changed his plan. He decisively abandoned the idea of opening a grocery store and instead decided to open a dicine shop - a shop that would only sell various finished dicinal products and purchase all kinds of spiritual herbs.
Whether in the Underworld or the Mortal Realm, the location of a shop is crucial in determining its rent. This was an undisputed fact. When Yang Haoran initially planned to open a grocery store, he had certain requirents for the location.
A location that was too remote would not work, as he intended to sell all sorts of miscellaneous items, which lacked any distinctive features. If the location was also poor, the business would most likely not take off, and he might end up losing money instead of making a profit. Such examples were nurous, both in the Mortal Realm and the Underworld.
As for a pri location, given his financial capabilities and connections, it was not realistic for him to secure one. He could only try to find a relatively suitable location within his ans. This way, the business might not be great, but it would not be too bad either.
However, even for a regular location in the Underworld, it was not easy to obtain a shop. It would require a significant amount of capital, as well as the need to navigate various relationships and handle nurous tedious formalities, all of which would cost money. It was quite a hassle.
If he were to change the grocery store to a dicine shop, many of these troubles would be avoided. The reason was simple - the dicine refined by Feng Xiao could fetch high prices in the Underworld, which ant that these dicines had a good market.
For items with a good market, even if the location was a bit remote, custors would still co. Initially, the business might be slow, but once the reputation spread, custors would flock to the shop. So, even if he chose a remote location, he would not have to worry about a lack of business.
Of course, a pri location would definitely perform much better than a poor one, but Yang Haoran did not have the ans for that, so he could only settle for the next best option.
He first searched for a suitable shop in so remote streets of the Underworld, and his primary target was shops that were about to go bankrupt and were looking to transfer ownership. These shops were already set up, so he could just make a few adjustnts and start operating imdiately, saving a lot of trouble and money.
However, finding such a shop that also t his requirents would require a certain amount of luck. If he was lucky, he might find one on the sa day, but if his luck was poor, it could take a long ti.
Initially, Yang Haoran could not find a shop that he was satisfied with, until he ca to this place and t the Underworld Envoy, Zeng Bingwen.
Zeng Bingwen's shop was located in one of the most remote streets in the Underworld, where foot traffic was scarce, and the business was not good. But precisely because of this, the shop not only had a large area, but the rent was also very cheap.
Initially, Zeng Bingwen spent a large amount of money and energy to open a shop in the underworld. At the ti, he valued this place because the shop had a relatively large area and was inexpensive. Since he did not have the ability to compete with others for good ports, he chose this shop.
At the ti, Zeng Bingwen was full of passion. He felt that although his shop's port was very poor and would be greatly affected, as long as he managed it properly, he could still beco rich.
After becoming wealthy, he would then choose an excellent port in the underworld to open an even larger shop. In this way, the snowball would roll, and his wealth would grow more and more. Zeng Bingwen would beco richer and richer, and from then on, he would reach the peak of his life.
But contrary to his wishes, Zeng Bingwen's shop faced bankruptcy shortly after opening. Not only was the business pathetically small, but he also had to support staff and pay rent, which made him anxious.
During the ti he operated this shop, not only did he not earn a single soul pill, but he also had to invest a lot of soul pills every month to sustain the shop's operations. Originally quite wealthy in the Burial Master, he was dragged down in just a few months, even owing a huge debt. Completely at a loss, he could only choose to transfer the shop.
Yang Haoran felt quite good about Zeng Bingwen's shop. At the ti, Zeng Bingwen had not yet left the underworld, so he approached Zeng Bingwen for detailed discussions.
One was eager to transfer the shop and did not want to lose more money on it. The other was interested in the shop and eager to open for business, so their conversation progressed smoothly.
Zeng Bingwen was eager to transfer the shop, and since his shop was indeed too remote, his asking price was very low. It was not that Zeng Bingwen did not want a high price, but rather because he was worried that if the asking price was too high, Yang Haoran would refuse. If Yang Haoran beca angry and gave up at that ti, it would be difficult to say when he could successfully transfer the shop, as few people would be willing to co here to choose a shop.
The transfer price was very low, and Yang Haoran was very interested. Moreover, the rent was also very cheap, so Yang Haoran naturally would not refuse. Therefore, the matter was settled.
Although both parties agreed to this matter, so procedures still needed to be followed, and so formalities still needed to be handled. It was not just a matter of their two people agreeing.
Today was the day Yang Haoran took over the shop. According to their previous agreent, Zeng Bingwen needed to take away the original goods in his shop, and what he called the transfer was actually the transfer of the decoration and the remaining rent.
Naturally, Zeng Bingwen wanted to transfer the goods in the shop to Yang Haoran, so that he could gain so soul pills and reduce his losses. However, Yang Haoran did not agree.
At this ti, he ca to find Yang Haoran with a smile on his face and said these words, with the main purpose of hoping that Yang Haoran would change his mind and take his goods.
"Divine Envoy Zeng, to be honest, your goods are priced very low, and I am very tempted. But I am short of money, and taking over this shop puts a lot of pressure on . I almost sold blood, but I really can't co up with more soul pills. It's such a pity."
Yang Haoran smiled bitterly, with a look of regret on his face.
His words were half true and half false. It was false that he couldn't co up with soul pills, and it was true that he was tempted. But considering that wealth should not be flaunted, he still chose to refuse.
Zeng Bingwen's shop was originally a grocery store, which was consistent with his previous idea. However, the items Zeng Bingwen sold were more chaotic than he had imagined. There were flesh vessels, classics, demonic weapons, mystical artifacts, demonic pills, and even sorcery.
Among these miscellaneous goods, so were useless to Yang Haoran, but so were useful to him and to the people around him. Moreover, the price given by Zeng Bingwen was indeed very low. How could he not be tempted?
Zeng Bingwen did not give up just because of Yang Haoran's words. He thought for a mont and then continued to persuade Yang Haoran with a smile on his face.
"No matter who opens a shop in the underworld without a mine, it will be difficult. I deeply understand this, so I can understand Yang Divine Envoy's current difficulties. However, if you are willing to pack up all the goods in my store, I can take a step back and lower the price even further. What do you think?"
Zeng Bingwen's words made Yang Haoran's expression pause. He really didn't expect that Zeng Bingwen, in order to get rid of these goods, would even be willing to actively lower the price.
