Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

The ground on Yongxin Street was still being washed, and the flowing blood almost formed a river, extending all the way along the drainage ditch. If you got a little closer, you could smell a fishy odor, but no passerby dared to complain.

joke.

Almost all the disciples from the four major markets went out to fight, but in the end no one came back alive. Until now, no sect has dared to stand out easily.

Why should ordinary people like them get into such trouble?

On the contrary, Yongxin Street Market did not suffer any business losses because of this. Instead, it continued to operate for a while after making some repairs and closed down after dark.

In contrast, there was an endless stream of people coming to patronize the place, not caring at all about the bloody smell lingering on the streets.

In their view, the Chen family business, which was able to compete with the four major markets on its own, already had the confidence to stand shoulder to shoulder with them. And it was not difficult to find out that Yongxin Street had the advantage when compared with any of the markets.

Because of the advanced business model here, some businessmen have even wanted to apply to join the Yongxin Neighborhood Market.

"Could you please inform Shopkeeper Shen that we would like to move into the market, but we don't know what procedures we need to go through?"

Several middle-aged men with big bellies who looked like businessmen looked eagerly at a clerk in the market.

When the man heard that they were coming to move in, he immediately led a few people to the accounting office where Shen Wanwu was.

"Boss, these people said they want to settle in the market town," said the clerk.

When those people saw Shen Wanwu, they immediately introduced themselves.

"Hello, Shopkeeper Shen. I'm Hu Jinhua from the Hu Oil Mill. My peanut oil is top-notch and will definitely be a big seller in our market!"

"Shopkeeper Shen, I'm Chai Huohuo from Chai's Rice Shop. Our rice is of excellent quality. Ask around in this county town, and you'll find no one who has anything bad to say about it!"

Shen Wanwu looked at those people and raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had tried to attract investment before, but apart from some small traders who expressed interest, the owners of these big trading companies simply ignored him.

What a joke! You, a small business from a small county, want to open a market in Qinghe County and compete with the ten major sects for business?

At that time, Chen's Trading Company was indeed a newcomer, and the influence of the four major markets was already deeply rooted.

Except for Zhou Zhengkun, Jin Qiuyue and others who were on good terms with Chen Changfan, almost no one was optimistic that Chen's Trading Company could accomplish this.

But the facts proved that the market on Yongxin Street not only opened quickly, but also did very prosperous business, which changed the views of a number of business leaders.

Of course, the fact that Chen's company has a way of doing business does not mean that its foundation can be consolidated from now on.

After all, behind the four major markets are the ten major sects. Of course, to be honest, only five or six of the major sects are actually involved, but the sect’s foundation is still there.

To put it bluntly, if one day Yongxin Street comes into conflict with the four major markets due to a business dispute, it will definitely be the Chen family that will lose their shops and have to pack up and leave.

Those bosses are not fools. To settle in the market, they not only have to pay shop fees and interest, but also have to invest in shop decoration, warehousing, etc. If the market is in danger, those bosses will naturally not take risks easily.

After all, the boss's money is also money, and we can't do such a risky thing.

But today's battle allowed these shrewd businessmen to see the strength of the Chen family.

Apart from anything else, there is no other family in this county town that can hold out for so long under the siege of disciples from the four major market sects.

What's more, later Chen Changfan rushed back like a god, and then led the soldiers to kill all the invading enemies, which directly frightened the four major markets.

I've seen vicious people, but I've never seen one as vicious as this.

After this battle, Xiaofengzhuang has completely established its foothold in this county town.

The noses of these merchants are sharper than dogs. They can find the place by smelling the scent. They all express their desire to settle in Yongxin Street Market and try to expand their business again.

For the merchants who came to cooperate with sincerity, Shen Wanwu calmly gave them the conditions for entry that he had already prepared:

The stall fee is 10 taels per year, with % interest. Apart from that, there are no other additional charges.

"This stall fee is not cheap. The stall fee in the West Market is only 5 taels, but the interest rate is higher, %."

Immediately, a boss made a comparison.

The boss was talking about the largest shop, which was as big as two rooms. Only a shop like this would be worthy of the attention of big businessmen like them.

How could Shen Wanwu not know the charging standards of other markets?

He smiled faintly and said, "Boss, don't you see how the customer flow of West Market can compare to our Yongxin Street?"

After Shen Wanwu said this, the bosses really couldn't refute it.

Looking at the entire Qinghe County, the market town on Yongxin Street is the most popular, while the popularity of the West Market has plummeted due to this newly emerged market town, and merchants have begun to complain.

"You're all businessmen. You can tell from the difference in customer traffic that the revenue is higher in our Yongxin Street market versus the West Market. Within half a year, we'll earn back the tens of thousands of taels of the shop fee. Furthermore, we only take 10% interest on Yongxin Street, while the West Market takes 20%. You should be able to calculate this better than I do."

Shen Wanwu's words were well-reasoned, and the merchants knew it clearly in their minds. The reason they brought up the shop fees was simply because they wanted to bargain out of their merchant instinct.

After all, business is all about give and take. I ask for a price, and you can bargain it down.

What if you don’t bargain, then I’ll make a profit, right?

Now it seems that the butler Shen is even more shrewd than several others, and this little calculation is nothing at all.

Not long after, under the guidance of Shen Wanwu, several bosses chose their respective shops, and then signed contracts and paid the money under the witness of guarantors.

After the matter was settled, Shen Wanwu escorted the bosses out the door with a suitable smile on his face. "Bosses, take care. I won't see you off."

"Boss Shen, you are too polite. I will rely on you for my care in the future."

Several businessmen also showed satisfied smiles, and were obviously quite satisfied with the smooth completion of the matter.

"Congratulations, Steward Shen! You've earned 30 taels right now."

The guy standing by watched almost the entire process of Shen Wanwu making the deal, his eyes full of admiration.

"This is just the beginning. These old foxes have the sharpest noses. Today they are here to grab the best shops. Let's see tomorrow. The number of merchants who want to move in will only increase, not decrease."

Shen Wanwu said that he didn't care, but in fact, he could hardly suppress the smile on his face.

A deal worth three hundred thousand was done so easily, and it was the big bosses who took the initiative to come to him and give him the money.

This feeling is much better than the previous feeling of hard work and fear.
