The second shop was finally done. It sold wine. Dongfang Qingyu went to the 8th shop. With a shop, it would be a waste not to be empty. But what?

With Dongfang Qingyu's current capital, he was still short by half of the cost of doing business in the winery. He was temporarily unable to do business with other costs, and after thinking for a long time, he was unable to think of anything that did not need to be invested in. Actually, the business that he wanted to do the most was equipment and medicine, but the investment for these two types of business was much greater than for the winery.

"Let's wait and see." When Dongfang Qingyu walked out of the number 8 shop, he did not know what kind of business he was going to do, so he was naturally not stupid enough to give the shop an upgrade. The higher the grade of the shop, the higher the tax rate.

Just as he walked out, he was stopped by a player.

"Are you the owner of this shop?" He was a very young man, no more than twenty-three years old. His equipment was mainly bronze, and he was very handsome. However, his condescending gaze and unkind smile made people feel uncomfortable. Following behind the young man were two other players, all with fawning expressions. They were probably his lackeys.

"That's right." Dongfang Qingyu had originally planned to ignore them, but he immediately realized that the time for the finance industry to change for the better had arrived. A servant was blocking the entrance of his shop, their intentions were already very obvious.

Buy a shop!

"I like the number eight shop. Name a price." The young man obviously heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Dongfang Qingyu admit to it. He had been waiting here for a few hours already, he did not even see a shadow of the ghost, the owner could not see, and his mission would not be completed. If he did not, he would be in big trouble.

"I'm not selling!" Dongfang Qingyu's voice was soft but determined.

The shops in Sky City allowed transfer and trade, and there was no need to pay for the reputation points. Those rich people knew that quite a few shops had been bought by the Independent Player, but they were not in a hurry, precisely because they did not have any reputation, but they did have gold. According to the rules of the game, all the shops would end up in the hands of the rich. Independent Player basically chose to sell his shop to earn a sum of money.

Independent Player did not have a team, resources, and money, so serving a shop by himself was not an easy task. There was also the risk of losing money, so he might as well sell it to someone else to earn some.

"40 million copper." The young man was not surprised when Dongfang Qingyu said that he would not sell, and directly called out the price.

"I'm sorry, I still have things to do." Dongfang Qingyu directly walked past the young man.

"50 million copper." The young man was unmoved.

Dongfang Qingyu seemed to not have heard, as he walked past the two lackeys and into the round plaza.

"80 million copper." When the young man heard the footsteps, he turned and looked at Dongfang Qingyu's back, "Let me introduce my identity, I am here on behalf of the Ji Xiangfu auction."

Dongfang Qingyu paused in his steps and continued walking.

Ji Xiangfu was the biggest auction in the country, and it had a great reputation and its business spread all over the world. The average daily turnover was said to be over one hundred million yuan. In just one year, the pure profit had broken through 30 billion yuan. It could be said to be a giant existence.

"100 million copper coins. If you know what's good for you, then sell your shop to me. Otherwise, you won't be able to survive in Sky City." The pride on the young man's face faded, replaced by malice and killing intent.

Dongfang Qingyu turned around, looked at the youth, and gently said: "Not selling!"

"You just wait and see, I'll make you suffer!" The youth shouted loudly. The players passing by saw his murderous look and quickly walked away.

Dongfang Qingyu had already melded into the crowd and walked towards the Mercenary Guild. At the time of his purchase, Number 8 was priced at 1350 gold coins, or 135 million copper coins. As the number of people increased, the price of the rooms skyrocketed to at least 150 million copper coins. The youth wanted to buy the number eight shop for a hundred million. This was not a business deal, but a plunder. Of course, he could tell that this youth's family background was not simple. If it was in reality, he would still be a bit afraid. However, this was within the game, so he wasn't afraid at all.

The most direct and effective way to advertise in the game was to issue a public notice. However, the price was not something an ordinary player could afford. Furthermore, the system would review the contents of the advertisement. In order to serve the low end of the game, they had set up an advertisement board in the Mercenary Guild's taskbar.

The advertisements for the Mercenary Union were also divided into different levels. The simplest part was to find someone to advertise and write a few lines on the board. Anyone who passed by would be able to see it and no one would be able to see it. This advertising method is relatively passive. The Intermediate ones were better, so the Mercenary Union would send the advertisement to all the players who had registered their domestic worker number. The advertising power immediately increased. The higher level ones would be distributed to all the players who had left their records in the Mercenary Union, including those who had previously deleted the registered Serviceman, those who had issued the quest, those who were wanted for the quest, and so on. Any player would more or less take one or two quests, and it could be said that at least sixty percent of the players in the Mercenary Union had left their contact information.

The advertising force was quite strong.

The effect is different, the price is also different. Low level advertising only requires 500 copper coins, high level advertising requires 100 thousand copper coins. Dongfang Qingyu thriftily chose the Intermediate Advertising with 100 thousand copper coins.

Rent the number eight store! There were only six words, and he added it together with his contact details.

This was inspired by the youth. He was reluctant to buy them, but he could afford to rent them without any investment. Although the profits were relatively long, it was very suitable for his current situation to be able to get a sum of money in a short period of time.

Not even five minutes after the advertisement was posted, his messages started to ring. He was still in the mood to reply one by one. Soon, he saw more than a thousand messages.

Large meals usually came later, and when he saw so many people coming, he knew there was no need to be anxious about the store. He would first forgive those people for a while.

"..."

Compared to shops, residential areas were much cheaper. The point was that there wasn't a lot of reputation points required; just a single house would only consume five points of reputation points. Many players chose to buy a house as a resting or office space.

Especially for some of the major powers, having an independent office space was a must.

"Director Cheng, I just received a level 22 Pet Egg. It can become the finale." The assistant who knocked on the door was very happy. In the auction, the most valuable items were the ones with the most value. Not only the price, but also the items' influence, uniqueness, and utility. It would take a player at least half a year to upgrade from level 10 to level 20. In other words, a level 22 pet was half a year ahead of others. The best spear he had chosen was a middle grade Silver Ware. It was also very valuable, but it was weaker than the Pet Egg.

The upgrade of equipment was faster than Pet Egg s.

"How many?" Cheng Jinyi sat behind the desk with a calm expression. After graduating from university, he went to study abroad for two years and then came back to work for the family business. Starting from a young age, he walked step by step towards becoming the current vice president. Although the reason was because of his status that he was able to go so fast and completed the transition from an employee to a leader in just three years, his own hard work was also inseparable.

This year, he, who was 29 years old, had already been in charge of Ji Xiangfu for more than two years. His performance had grown by more than 9.7% consecutively, and compared to the country's growth rate of 5.1% and Ji Xiangfu's previous growth rate of 6.9%, this speed of growth had erased all doubts. From last year, his father would no longer be in charge of the company.

High ranking, nourishing noble energy. Cheng Jinyi's mind was rarely mature, and he had a calmness that matched even his age. Basically, there were very few things that could change his expression, and it was because of this calmness that could make the company submit to him. Those antiques were the people that followed his grandfather to rule the world. They all relied on their seniority, and normally, even his father wouldn't put them in his eyes. Just from this point, the company's new employees all admired him. Among them was his assistant, who had followed him for two years.

"86 pieces, it's enough for an auction. There are still 21 hours until the date you set, so there is no problem in gathering 100 items. There is a high chance that there will be more valuable items than Pet Egg s, and it will become the new finale. "

"One Pet Egg is still not enough. If I can get the second one to appear, it would be even safer." Cheng Jinyi nodded his head, "We cannot relax regarding the items, but we must hurry up on the things regarding the shop, otherwise, when the auction is set and there is no venue to start it, it will become a joke."

"Director Cheng —" The assistant hesitated for a moment before saying, "Secretary Lin has passed on the matter of the shop to Sir Lin."

"Who told him to do that?" Cheng Jinyi's face changed, immediately he released a powerful aura.

The assistant carefully glanced at the door, but did not say anything.

"Go ahead, Secretary Lin." Cheng Jinyi said lightly. The assistant went out and came back soon after. Behind him was a beautiful girl dressed in beautiful clothes.

"Director Cheng, you're looking for me?" There was nothing wrong with Secretary Lin's etiquette, but from the minute details, it was obvious that his tone was not as respectful as that of an assistant.

"Are you going to leave the matter of the shop to your brother?" Cheng Jinyi stared at Secretary Lin, his eyes sharp.

"My little brother has been idle lately. I think that since he has the company's money, he has to do something and let him go." The expression in Secretary Lin's eyes flickered as he said in a serious tone, "Don't worry if it doesn't happen. He promises that he will definitely complete the mission."

"Do you believe his promise?" Cheng Jinyi was expressionless.

"I think he has already changed. I believe that after what happened last time, he has learned his lesson. This time, he will definitely work hard." Secretary Lin whispered.

The assistant suddenly spoke up, "Director Cheng, I've just received news that the number eight store has advertised for rent."

"Ah — —" Secretary Lin's face suddenly turned pale.
