Li Guang wanted to open a ninja tool shop, a grocery store, and a grain store. Li Guang had already told Xia Ou that according to the conditions they had previously agreed on, the Chamber of Commerce would help Li Guang open these stores. There were a total of three stores. Li Guang's three shops were nothing to the Chamber of Commerce, so they sent a servant to help Li Guang.
The Ninja Tool Shop, the grocery store, and the grain store seemed to be unrelated, but they actually included weapons, food, and suppliers. The two most basic things to build a force were enough. Moreover, these two businesses were related to war resources and were relatively sensitive. Only people with Muye's permission could do it. The Chamber of Commerce thought that Li Guang was already under their noses, so they openly allowed Li Guang to do some small things.
Li Guang, on the other hand, wanted to use the Chamber of Commerce to develop his own power. He wanted to protect himself in this chaotic world. In the future, he could only develop if he was powerful or had enough power. As for the so-called money!
Money seemed important, but in the eyes of the strong, it was just a number.
Li Guang had been through so much deception these days because he had wealth but did not have enough power to protect it! To change this situation and live freely in this world, he had to be strong enough!
His continuous practice of strengthening his body was undoubtedly correct!
Although Li Guang had handed the business matters to Xia En's servant, it was not that he was not vigilant. Li Guang was preparing for a backup plan. These businesses were related to his future plans. It was just that the three shops were only three small shops and a seed. It was not important enough to affect his future plans, so Li Guang did not care so much.
However, there were still some things that he had to do. For example, he had to understand the situation of the wood leaf industry, the Fire Country, the other five big countries, and the other small countries!
"Shawn can provide me with some channels and raw materials, but I can't always let others control these. I have to open up my own channels.”Li Guang was thinking about the assistance that Shawn had given him. Now that his business had just started, he naturally wanted as many benefits as he could get! These were all exchanged for his wealth. If he had no value, these people would not suck up to him!
Doing business could be done slowly. This kind of thing was also a matter of knowledge. First, one had to understand the market and obtain good information. Then, one had to ensure the supply of raw materials and the capital chain in one's hands.
Li Guang didn't just open a shop to make a living. Forming a force was also his goal. The other important thing for a force was food. Originally, Li Guang planned to do a restaurant business, but the restaurant business of Muye was controlled by a big family force of Muye. Therefore, Li Guang didn't go to the bad luck and chose to open a food shop instead.
As the saying goes, food and fodder should be given priority before troops and horses move.
Food was easy to deal with. Muye's civilian area was a high-value area. As long as his subordinates bought it from everywhere, it would be fine. Li Guang did not lack money, but this kind of business was destined to be a business of buying and selling, and the profits were good and bad.
It was currently a time of war, and the grain business was indeed not easy to do. However, within a year, the three wars would be pacified, and the water gate would become Naruto. After that, there would be a long period of peace, so the grain business was equivalent to a capital preservation existence. In Li Guang's opinion, there would not be any problems. For now, he could use the Chamber of Commerce to lay the foundation.
As for the threat that the servant had mentioned about the Qiu Dao Clan…Li Guang was the most worried, but also the least worried. His business was very small, so how could it compete with the Qiu Dao clan? Moreover, he was part of the Ivy Chamber of Commerce, and they were all inside the Woodleaf clan. Even if there was competition, the other party would not openly suppress him. Li Guang did not expect the grain business to make money now. As long as the grain store could be self-sufficient, it was a long-term profitable business.
As for why he was worried, it was because Li Guang had previously planned to get involved in Muye's food and beverage business. With this obstacle, Li Guang would not be able to open it. Even if it was a food business, he was destined to expand it in the future. This would inevitably lead to conflict with the other party. In addition, the relationship between the Ivy Chamber of Commerce and these families was not good. Although they were in the same camp, they were competitors. This was what Li Guang was worried about.
Muye's internal affairs were too complicated, and the factional struggles had already affected the lives of ordinary people. Li Guang's development in Muye inevitably involved himself in this struggle.
It was fine if they won, but if they lost, hehe, the winner would be king and the loser would be the bandit. The bloody rain of internal strife was no worse than the killing on the battlefield!
The grocery store business was actually a wholesale business. They could purchase goods from Muye, buy large amounts, and resell them. Muye would have a stable channel.
The business model was similar to the wholesale market. Many goods would be cheaper as long as they were purchased in large quantities. The merchants earned the difference in retail price. Li Guang used this business to maintain contact with other merchants and observe market trends.
It was the only legitimate business that he didn't have to worry too much about, but the commercial profits weren't high.
Li Guang still valued the Ninja Tool Shop the most. Apart from being interested in these things and studying them, there was another reason.
Since ancient times, weapons had always been controlled by the government, and so was Muye. Although Li Guang had obtained the permission of Muye, the business of the cutting tool shop was not good. There were many cutting tool shops in Muye, but not many of them became rich. They had always been running small businesses!
If a cutting tool shop wanted to gain fame, it had to have sufficient quality assurance! This required all kinds of ores and excellent blacksmiths! An outstanding craftsman was a precious resource in this industry. Of course, as the world's number one military base, there were many craftsmen and blacksmiths here.
"I'm interested in forging ninja tools. I'm currently learning. If I can open a ninja tool shop and find a skilled blacksmith, I can learn from him and not spend too much money.”Li Guang's money came easily, but it was not easy. A while ago, in order to learn forging, he had to bribe those cutting tool shops to let them learn from those masters. However, Li Guang was not a fool.
Li Guang rubbed his chin and happily decided.
The Iron Country was rich in minerals. After opening the cutting tool shop, they could purchase raw materials from the Chamber of Commerce in the short term. However, this wasn't a long-term solution. If they wanted to expand their business in the future, the supply of raw materials wouldn't be enough. To break this shackle, they needed to form a caravan to do business and control the supply of raw materials to avoid being attacked by others.
Li Guang turned around and walked outside. This was Muye's business district, which was quite prosperous.
Now that he had the chance, he naturally wanted to take a good look around. Li Guang felt that he had a clone and that no one could match him in terms of escaping. He did not need protection at all!
Li Guang had seen through Mu Ye's series of methods clearly, which was why he felt disgusted.
Today, he strolled around here to relax and eliminate the fatigue of cultivation and the shadow of the previous incident. Secondly, he could gather information and prepare for a new journey! Commonly known as commercial investigation.
Li Guang casually bought a bag of unknown fruit called Guogu from the street. It was a kind of aquatic fruit that looked like a lotus seed pod. The flesh inside was hexagonal. It was delicious, juicy, and sweet, just like grapes. After asking the shopkeeper how to eat it, he enjoyed the food while shopping.
At the same time, he was thinking about his own matters."Doing your own business is just a cover. Forming your own force is the real deal!”
Li Guang wasn't a good-for-nothing playboy. He was really at ease leaving everything in the hands of others. Although the ancients said that if you used someone, you shouldn't doubt them, but that was for your own people. If you completely trusted the other party without knowing him, you would be a fool! Li Guang was forced to join this organization. He actually did not have a good impression of this organization, let alone a sense of belonging! However, after what he had experienced before, he felt that it was necessary to establish a force. At the very least, it was important to increase his weight and not let others casually manipulate him.
Doing business was a very particular thing. There were many ways to do it. Otherwise, the ancients would not have so many allusions. Some of them were even arranged into television dramas.
The establishment of a business force could bind the interests of many people. This way, although Li Guang gave up a portion of his money, he could exchange it for safety! This was his current plan.
Li Guang wasn't just strolling around here. He had to first pay attention to how many people were in the same industry as him! After all, it was a business. Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy would never win!
With the shop he rented as the center, he checked the situation nearby. He wanted to open a ninja tool shop, a grocery store, and a grain store. No matter which business it was, there was a market potential and saturation, so preliminary research was very important. There was a grain store on the same street and a cutting tool store at the back of the street! From this, it could be seen that the competition in the downtown area was quite intense.
"There's a lot of competition here. Although I've used the Chamber of Commerce to contact the major families here, if I want to open a shop here, I'll be ostracized by my peers. When he was in Mu Ye's office, he had asked him to reserve a house for three months! In addition, opening a grain store was the most difficult. The reason was too complicated, so he still had time. He could put this place aside for now and go elsewhere to take a look! Finally, he would decide what shop to open in the downtown area.”
After all, it was Li Guang's first time in business. He was a little confused when it came to opening a shop. Fortunately, he had a solution and used a method of elimination! It was definitely not suitable to open a cutting tool shop in a civilian area because there were not many ninjas. Even if there were ninjas, they were not rich. The products sold there would definitely not have much market space! Therefore, the cutting tool shop was temporarily put aside. It wasn't that it wasn't good to open a grain store here, but they didn't dare to!
Let's start from the commoner district!
"What shop should I open in the commoner district? Grain store? A grocery store? Although the commoner district was rich in food crops, they were all in Muye, so the price difference was not big. The third shop he chose was located on the main road at the junction of the two districts! The geographical location was actually not bad. If he wanted to resell his crops, he could do it if he was a little diligent. In addition, the grain store was located here, making it convenient for him to do business in the future! The good grain store is here."
"Since the grain store has decided, then the shop in the commoner district will open a grocery store. I don't expect it to earn much money, as long as it doesn't lose money! A cutting tool shop in the business district! A one-stop service for blacksmithing sales! We can have this!" Li Guang had always been interested in forging skills, so he naturally wanted to develop it vigorously. Moreover, most of the customers of the cutting tool shop were ninjas, so it was beneficial for business to be located in the business district. In addition, if he wanted to make money, he had to produce and sell himself. A business like the cutting tool shop could not rely on buying and selling. If he kept buying other people's goods at a low price, the source of goods would be in the hands of the other party, and he would be at the mercy of the other party!
A good cutting tool shop depended on whether or not there was a Forge Master. As long as there were enough craftsmen and high-quality weapons, there would be no lack of business. It would be best if there were one or two more treasures!
Muye's cutting tool shop had a custom-made service. The so-called custom-made service was to find a craftsman to specially make cutting tools. Of course, the price was naturally higher than the price of ordinary weapons!
"The matter of this shop has been settled ~ sigh.”Li Guang sighed. It was really difficult to do business in Muye.
The grain store was placed in such an unimportant position because it was a helpless move. In fact, the grain business had been a profitable industry since ancient times!
Food is the most important thing for the people! Food was also important in a war. It could be said that food was important! Of course, the profits were not small, but Muye's business was not easy to do!
It wasn't that Li Guang didn't want to open a few more grain stores, but Xia Ou was right. If he wanted to make his business bigger and stronger, he had to become a disciple. In the end, it was because those big families were too powerful.
Mu Ye's current grain business was controlled by the Qiu Dao clan! Although the Mid-Autumn Dao people in anime and anime were all fat and looked kind, their combat strength was not weak. They were good at using the doubling technique and relied on eating a lot to store chakras in their bodies. The fat on the bodies of those fat people was actually caused by this special chakra storage method. Therefore, they had a lot of chakras for no reason, and their combat strength was very shocking.
