The Great Seminary

Chapter 125: Fortune and misfortune depend on each other
After remaking the True Dragon national policy, Zhang Gui was pleasantly surprised to discover the huge benefits brought about by the increase in his extraordinary power.

It is actually also effective for sensing and transporting the three cities of Civilization Pioneers, Sacred Odes, and Meat Gold, and for transporting Nan Chi slaves by sea to fill the gaps between the True Dragon Citizens.

In the past, I had to concentrate on it, but now I can do it anywhere by just multitasking.

However, according to previous estimates, if Zhang Gui were to let loose completely, he should be able to collect at least 2,500 high-quality young men every day on average.

Now it is only about 1,800.

In addition, he didn't know how the trading company he had suddenly decided to cooperate with was doing.

Feeling his inner demons were finally annihilated, Zhang Gui decided to visit the Pioneer City of Civilization to find out what was going on before returning to Zhihai Town, his fiefdom...

Noon, lunch time.

Bar in the dock area.

While filling his stomach, Zhang Gui heard a piece of news.

The Civilization Vanguard City was attacked not long ago by a powerful man from the South Red Continent 'Axum' who burned his soul and attacked with the shadow of the Moon Goddess's Ship.

As a result, the entire slave-hunting business in Nanchi, west of the Giant Snake Head Island, was affected.

As a result, the amount of money he fleeced also decreased by about 30%.

This is a natural disaster and man-made disaster, and no one can do anything about it. We can only wait for time to resolve it.

So Zhang Gui sighed and walked towards Silverfish Street.

The newly opened 'Black Lion and Tiger Joint Trading Company' is located on one of the best sections of the street.

It is an independent commercial building.

It covers an area of ​​about 300 square meters.

There are three floors in total.

The first floor is a store that wholesales and retails various long-term preserved, industrial foods.

The main focus is the mysterious oriental 'food pill' used exclusively by professionals.

It is said that it is made using the secret alchemy techniques of Dongshengzhou. Eating it for a long time can delay youth and enhance vitality.

The second floor is the company's office area and the reception area for negotiating business and signing contracts with major clients.

The third floor is a commodity warehouse and employee dormitory.

The employee dormitories are located in a mid-range shopping street called "Silverfish Street," where the benefits are almost unspoken.

Came to the sign of 'Black Lion and Tiger Joint Trading Company'.

Zhang Gui tilted his head back and took in the overall picture of his company and the billboard with a picture of an old oriental Taoist priest and the words "magic medicine".

He waved his cane in a flowery way, pointed at the gate, and said to the delivery driver:
"It is indeed this, move the goods in."

"Yes, sir."

The fat, bearded driver called out to his fellows,
"Black Pig, Andote, didn't you hear what the master said? Hurry up and move the goods."

On the platform at the back of the carriage, there were two young men who had been bumping along the way under the scorching sun.

He quickly jumped off the car and, under Zhang Gui's supervision, moved the suitcase full of food pills into the first floor of "Black Lion and Tiger".

"What are you doing?"

A young girl in a black uniform with a cross pattern of tiger fangs and lion claws painted on her chest ran out of the store with a sullen face.

But when she saw Zhang Gui, who had black hair, black pupils, yellow skin, and facial features that were slightly different from those of ordinary Nanchi people, her eyes widened instantly, and a charming smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

"You must be Lord Yang, right?
Ms. Pollis has been waiting for you these past few days."

Zhang Gui nodded and pointed to the stairs in the house, "Second floor?"

"Yes, sir, the lady is in the manager's office on the second floor."

"Okay, I'll go see her right away."

Zhang Gui kicked the suitcase at his feet and said, "Here are 15,000 pure dried meat pills, 30,000 high-quality dried meat pills, and 60,000 fine-quality pills.

You'll take inventory later..."

"I will personally count these valuable goods."

Pollis came down from the second floor and interrupted his partner with a gloomy face.

"Come up, Yang, you are quite late for the agreed time.

I need an explanation." Zhang Gui showed an apologetic expression on his face, walked towards Rizal, and said sincerely:

“Purple, it is indeed my fault, but I have a good excuse for being late.

Because I almost died."

This made Pollis's serious expression soften, but it also added a bit of worry.

“What happened, what’s going on now?

Anyway, let’s go upstairs and talk.”

The two walked together towards the second floor of the company.

The second-floor office is roughly divided into three areas:
There are office areas for ordinary employees, reception areas for important clients, and offices for Polly and her sister, Halifah, the company's deputy manager.

Walking into Pollis's office, the overall style is simple and clear.

An office desk with a black wooden base and a milky white marble surface, plus an iron display stand covering half the wall, takes up almost one-third of the space.

Zhang Gui sat down on the soft sofa opposite the desk and commented:
“It’s a really plain, functional office.

I personally appreciate it very much.

But is this a good idea, Mr. Rizal? After all, we are opening a business, so don’t we need to decorate it more luxuriously?

A businessman's carriage, clothes, and office space are all his reputation, so they should be more dignified."

"We deal in 'hard currency'. If we are a little more simple and appear to make less money, customers will feel more comfortable.

Tell me, what happened that almost killed you?"

The lively expression on Zhang Gui's face gradually disappeared.
"The emperor I serve has sent his son to patrol the southern part of the country to guard against surprise attacks by the Yuanshan people.

As a result, the prince set his eyes on my fiefdom and killed my adjutant for it, intending to replace him with his own man and turn me into a puppet.

I saw through this and was so angry that I almost lost control.

As we Orientals say, it is the "demon in the heart".

And this is very dangerous.

I don’t know if there are similar situations among the professionals in Xihezhou..."

"Of course.

Our ancestors even invented a term to describe this situation:
'Soul extinction' caused by 'mental shock'.

It was indeed very dangerous, and I was lucky to see you again."

"My luck is more than just escaping a disaster."

A lively expression reappeared on Zhang Gui's face.

"The fight against my inner demons has further stimulated the ancient power that runs in my blood.

It allowed me to jump from a "Class D" monk to a "Class C" monk.

A total blessing in disguise!"

"So lucky?" Even the calm Perry was surprised. "It's like something out of an ancient heroic legend."

"So you should forgive me for being late."

“Indeed, but business is business.

When unexpected events occur, we still have to have countermeasures.

So you should keep a few of your own people in the company so that I can communicate with you at any time."

Zhang Gui thought about it and nodded:

"Oh well.

I will send ten good men to stay in the company, let's call them the Security Department, to represent me.

By the way, I can also help you deal with some difficult problems."

"A real good player?"

Hearing the hidden meaning of his business partner's words, Pollis asked thoughtfully.
