Chapter 558: Chapter 38: Keep Achieving Commercial Firm VS Qian Family Commerce_2

Lei Yongbai, the head manager of the commercial firm branch, has already begun his busy day. Today, he has arranged to meet with three heads of Grade Eight noble families to negotiate the prices and supply of White Jade Spiritual Rice and Fire Crystal Spirited Rice. Incidentally, he will also negotiate long-term supply contracts for fresh Spirit Fish Meat and the consignment agreement for the family’s Spirit Meat business!

These family members have been replenishing their qi and blood with Spirit Meat for a long time, and they have already tired of it. Fresh and tender Spirit Fish Meat is the product they crave most.

The young employees of the commercial firm have also started working full of vim and vigor. Recently, the Northwestern branch has been gradually improving business after a period of trial operation and promotion, which has greatly increased their confidence, making them feel optimistic about the future.

The clients have started to trickle into the commercial firm, each with their own requirements. Some have letters that need to be sent, while others wait to purchase some scattered fresh goods!

“Elder Chunyu.” A young clerk surnamed Gongsun is briskly handling Chunyu Andong’s procedures. “This is your travel plan. You can reach the County Town tomorrow, and then you can take a flying carriage from County Town to Cloud Security on the same day. The day after tomorrow, you will be able to reach Cloud Security. After two days of sightseeing in Cloud Security, you can take the Longzuo loop flying carriage to reach Hundred Islands Guard, Changning Guard, and Zhengze Guard. Finally, you can take a carriage from Zhengze to County Town, then transfer to a carriage to Northwest Guard.”

“This package only costs one hundred Qian Gold, and offers a 10% discount for new customers! However, before you board the flying carriage, personal baggage should not exceed 10 pounds, otherwise you will need to purchase an extra luggage ticket.”

… Just ninety Qian Gold? Chunyu Andong is a bit dizzy. Leaving the seven-day leisure time in each Guard, this series of routes back and forth would only take six or seven days.

In half a month, with ninety Qian Gold, his longstanding dream comes true! If he were to take a horse-drawn carriage, he wouldn’t be able to make it back without half a year’s time.

It really is the Flying Carriage of the Academic Palace. Not only is it fast, but it also takes the shortest distance route.

At that moment,

A crisp crane cry pierced the sky as a Spirit Bird flying carriage hurtled through the sky, descending rapidly on time and without delay. Even though this was not the first time they’d seen it, it still drew a crowd of onlookers.

Once the flying carriage had landed,

The passengers were the first to disembark. There were a total of five. One was a young man of the Qi Refinement Realm, and the rest were three in the Spirit Platform Realm and one middle-aged man with an unfathomable cultivation base.

Clearly, he was a Tianren Realm Cultivator.

Tianren Realm Cultivators can hover and fly in the air for extended periods, but each moment and each breath consumes Mysterious Energy. If you asked him to soar in the sky overnight, covering a distance of two or three thousand miles, he wouldn’t be able to do it even if it killed him.

In reality, even if there were powerful Tianren Realm Cultivators who could do it, it wouldn’t be worth it. It’s too tiring! If they could sit comfortably in the carriage of a flying carriage and nap for a night to reach their destination, why wouldn’t they?

Once all the passengers had disembarked, the hired hands from the separate branch began diligently unloading cargo. There was a small ice crystal refrigerator installed on the flying carriage, and a small cargo bay suspended under the passenger compartment.

The ice crystal refrigerator was filled with high-end ingredients. There were fresh seafood just caught the day before yesterday, giant lobsters weighing over ten pounds, huge abalones, giant sea urchins guaranteed to have golden centers, and so forth.

There were also some even more precious chilled sea Spirit Fish, including a cut of superior part from a third level Purple Gold Spirit Spearfish. It was an excellent choice for Spirit Fish sashimi.

These high-quality ingredients, according to the agreement between Keep Achieving Commercial Firm and Yuwen Clan, were mostly supplied to the Hundred Taste Residence in Northwest Guard with a small portion being reserved for the prominent families they had good relations with.

Because of the reasonable prices and freshness of these ingredients, the business of Hundred Taste Residence was thriving even more.

Meanwhile, the small cargo bay hanging underneath the flying carriage’s compartment was loaded with some lightweight goods, like precious Spirit Silk and Spirit Materials, and other lucrative merchandise.

In addition, Hui Qi Si, who drove the flying carriage, had a storage ring. It contained high-end clothes customized by Zhou’s Clothing Shop in County Town, some ordered cultivation elixirs, and nearly a dozen letters and small parcels.

After taking off the storage ring, Hui Qi Si went on to eat and rest with the assistance of the clerk. The Spirit Bird was also taken care of by a specialist who fed it Spirit Food and allowed it to rest.

The clerks and workers bustled about.

Some messengers, hugging letters and parcels, began running back and forth to deliver them. The workers from the Hundred Taste Residence collected the freshest ingredients, as their customers had already booked their lunch and dinner, and it seemed like there were not enough ingredients to meet the demand.

Meanwhile.

In the Northwest Guard City, there was a family called the Northwest Xiong, a local 7th rank magnate. A girl from their direct lineage was about to get married. On the opening day of the Keep Achieving Commercial Firm, they took the flying carriage to the county town and had a beautiful wedding dress custom-made at the Zhou’s Clothing Shop which cost about two to three thousand Qian Gold.

The “Keep Achieving Commercial Firm” was responsible for transporting this wedding dress back from Zhou’s and delivering it to the Xiong family after its completion. This order didn’t earn much for the firm, but it did open up a new line of thought.

In the past, Wang Shouzhe used to entrust Qian family to purchase wedding clothes from Zhou’s in the county town. However, the process was lengthy and he didn’t get to personally pick the clothes.

Therefore, seizing this opportunity, the Keep Achieving Commercial Firm and Zhou’s reached a certain cooperation, specifically advertising the ready clothes catalogue for Zhou’s. Whether it was carrying customers to Zhou’s to order clothes or inviting Zhou’s tailors to offer home services, Keep Achieving Commercial Firm could take a 10% cut.

This event highlighted the life-changing effects the Spirit bird flying carriage system would bring to Longzuo county once it’s fully developed. Today you can go to the county town to buy a set of clothes and eat hotpot before returning home the next day.

If you’re in a bad mood, you can go to Cloud Security to watch the sunrise and sunset.

Even if you are free one day, you can go fishing in Zhenze Wei, or gallop on the grasslands of the Northwest Guard for several days! Of course, you can also feed seagulls in Hundred Islands Guard and go back home to carry on with your life the next day…

All these conveniences have overturned the living habits of the people in Longzuo County. Of course, it’s only the top figures and a few ordinary people with business minds in Longzuo County that have been affected.

The vast majority of people at the bottom of society still live as they did before.

A situation like that of the Northwest Guard is just the tip of the iceberg. The flying carriage system in each guard city has gradually been put on the right track, making the biggest news and gossip in Longzuo County.

Moreover, many “rumors” have begun to spread within Longzuo County.

The establishment of the “Keep Achieving Commercial Firm” resulted from Qian’s Commercial Firm’s disregard and suppression of its former allies. The partners of the Keep Achieving Commercial Firm, who used to work closely with Qian’s Commercial Firm, had their partnership commission abruptly raised from 20% to 50% by Qian’s firm.

The partners of Qian’s Commercial Firm had no choice but to open up their own business channel. Prior to this, the partners led by the Wang family originally wanted to build the Keep Achieving Commercial Firm with Qian’s Commercial Firm.

Such rumors and facts struck a blow to the reputation of Qian’s Commercial Firm, and more often resulted in mockery of Qian’s foolish strategic layout. It’s said that even the Old Ancestor of the Qian family, a Purple Abode, was alarmed and threw a tantrum in the family.

In the meantime.

In the main hall of Qian family in Longzuo.

A broad-faced, dignified-looking middle-aged man angrily smashed a vase and yelled, “Has that brat Xuerui come back yet?”

An inscrutable butler quietly said, “Family Head, we have already sent a fast horse to bring Young Master back. However, the distance from Southern Six Guards is far, I’m afraid it will take some time for him to return.”

“Far away?” The Qian family head’s face twitched, he laughed in anger, “If it’s far away, why didn’t he take the flying carriage of Keep Achieving Commercial Firm? That brat really fails more than he succeeds. He dared to fall out with the Wang family and others without knowing the situation properly, causing our Qian family to miss a good opportunity!”

“Family Head, please calm down.” The butler persuaded, “The Young Master made such a decision for the good of our Qian family. Besides, that Wang family obviously didn’t have good intentions. Maybe they had planned to throw us Qian family aside and go solo a long time ago.”
