Chapter 376 Five-star Inn
Chapter 376 Five-Star Inn
Xiangyang City is located on the south bank of the Han River. It is surrounded by water on three sides and backed by the mountains on one side. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Therefore, it is a place that military strategists in the game must fight for. The Xiangyang City in the game uses "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" as the background of the Southern Song Dynasty's anti-Jin era. It is said that the first national war in the future was the theme of anti-Jin. However, nine years have passed. Although the game is still tense, the national war has not arrived for a long time.
Speaking of this city, Fang Jie is both familiar and unfamiliar. Because he stayed in the Guo Mansion in Xiangyang, the layout of the entire city was completely unknown. When he left Guo Mansion, he was directly assigned to Daxue Mountain by Yelu Qi. Naturally, he didn't have the chance to understand this city.
The information obtained from Wangqing is consistent with what Fang Jie judged. Master Yideng is indeed near Taoyuan Town. This Taoyuan Town is located between Jingzhou and Xiangyang. If you walk from Jingzhou to the northeast, you still have to pass through the Tiezhang Mountain sect base of the Tiezhang Gang. But if you walk from Xiangyang to the southwest, you don’t have to pass by the Tiezhang Gang. You choose to leave Xiangyang City in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Because Fang Jie's chivalrous value was not enough, and he had achieved his riding skills, he was riding now a black horse. The horse was about 100 meters tall, with purple brown hair upright, human nature and extremely majestic. It is said that it was Xiang Yu's mount. He followed him to fight south and north and made countless achievements. After Xiang Yu committed suicide in Wujiang, he gave the love horse Wuzhi to the pavilion chief. The pavilion chief took it across the river. However, Wuzhi, who was loyal to his master, jumped to Wujiang and died.
Fang Jie was very satisfied with this horse. Although strictly speaking, it was one level lower than the chasing wind of the Forgetful Chasing Horse. However, the degree and endurance were not far different. It was also worth 10,000 taels of gold. It was also considered an amazing BMW.
You know, even if players practice riding skills, they will not spend so much money to buy a BMW. So when the two of them rode in Xiangyang City, they immediately caused a commotion. The man was so romantic and elegant, and the woman was so charming. She was like a fairy descending to earth. The two BMWs were majestic and mighty, adding a sense of momentum. They were simply envious. They made the city players point fingers and talked about them.
Wangqing has 100% confidence in her appearance and she also has absolute confidence in her martial arts. The so-called women are to please themselves. Generally speaking, they are naturally unwilling to wear human skin masks. She is not willing to disguise herself as an ugly monster in front of Fang Jie. But on the other hand, she suggests Fang Jie restore her deity or change to a human skin mask without oil and salt. This makes people feel more comfortable.
Fang Jie really doesn't like being seen by so many people as monkeys. But he is worried that his identity will cause unnecessary trouble. He has to bite the bullet and run out of Xiangyang City. After listening to Wangqing's suggestions, Fang Jie thought about it and thought it was the same. After all, so many years have passed. He is not a disciple of a sect anymore. Moreover, he has bought his own coordinate rights. Not many people will notice him. And the main reason is that Wangqing is a bodyguard around him. There is really nothing to worry about.
So after leaving Xiangyang City, Fang Jie simply took off the white-faced human skin mask and restored the appearance of the deity. But this recovery caused the passing players to point fingers and say everything, such as "a flower was inserted into cow dung". "How come rich people have such a virtue and ride such a good horse. It's a waste of resources." He also shifted his goal to Wangqing. He said that this woman must have been kept by the boy who has no oil and salt. He vowed to be a beauty in his next life.
Fang Jie was naturally too lazy to pay attention to these unbearable comments, but Wangqing was different. Anyone who said one more word would be slaughtered by his tragic massacre. When he first left Xiangyang City, Wangqing almost killed him all the way. If Fang Jie hadn't felt that it was too wasteful of time, I'm afraid Wangqing would have to kill until Taoyuan Town before he would stop.
"These gossipers are so annoying!" After leaving the official road, there were fewer players. Wangqing couldn't help but spat hatefully. If it were before, Wangqing would definitely not have such a big reaction. But since the establishment of Wangqing Pavilion and since she cooperated with Fang Jie, her mentality has gradually changed. Only by caring, she will get angry. She doesn't want others to look down on Fang Jie.
Fang Jie smiled faintly: "If others believe that you are classified as a dislike, then you will always have problems. There will always be something worthy of being scolded... But this kind of person is really invaluable. Being jealous of others proves that you have the capital to make people jealous. If you think so, your psychology will be balanced."
Wangqing was slightly stunned and nodded thoughtfully. Fang Jie started to be cynical again. He patted his horse's back and smiled: "I feel very content. If I put it in reality, we can live a bourgeois life with a BMW riding and beauties all day long. Let them be envious!"
Wangqing burst into laughter and gave Fang Jie a blank look as if he wanted to say something. But in the end he still didn't talk to him. A ripples broke out in his heart.
From Xiangyang City to Taoyuan Town, even if you ride a horse, you have to walk for two days. But this is not a big problem. The two have prepared enough food. And every two or three hundred miles on the road, there will be a small inn for players to stay overnight. There is no need to worry about food and accommodation.
Fang Jie, who was officially on the road for the first time, quickly noticed the value of these inns. If Wangqing Pavilion could control these small inns all over the world, it would be like controlling the information channels. Moreover, these inns seemed to be small in scale and profits were small. But what if hundreds of inns were controlled? It would be countless streams that converged into a big river. The profits were simply unimaginable.
After Fang Jie proposed this idea, Wangqing also felt it was feasible. The two hit it off and used the time on the road to carefully summarize.
"If you want to control these inns, you can't do it without money. But I can't afford much money now." Although this is indeed feasible, there are still many practical difficulties. The first thing Wangqing thought of was the problem of money. Now running a Wangqing Pavilion has made her anxious, let alone other businesses.
"Money is not the top priority." Looking at the scenery passing by on both sides, Fang Jie pondered: "What we can think of is that other people with a little business mind can also think of it. If I guess well, there must be players in life doing this. So how to grab the share they occupy from them is something that must be considered in advance."
"Yes..." Wangqing frowned and said, "The player's death will not lose his life skills. Even if we kill them, it will have no effect on them. We must come up with a means to shock them."
Fang Jie, who is not very familiar with the life system, naturally couldn't find a clue for a while. He had to ask: "What's the system of life players controlling the system industry?"
"This is complicated to say." After organizing the language, Wangqing said leisurely: "Take the inn as an example. Just like a hotel in reality, the inn is divided into five stars. This is easy to distinguish. Just look at how many floors the inn has. One floor is a one-star inn. The fifth floor is a five-star inn. Like the inn in this suburb, all are one-star. The inns in the three Imperial Capitals are all five-star inns."
After watching Wangqing for a long time, Fang Jie couldn't help but ask: "What does this have to do with the shareholding system?"
"Of course it's related." Wangqing smiled and said, "The initial total assets of one-star inn are two golds, two-star inns are two golds, and three-star inns are so on. Before the player's first reincarnation and rebirth, he can only buy equity at most. In other words, if he wants to control these one-star inns in the suburbs, each inn costs 50,000 taels of gold. The total assets must be paid annually as a rental fee."
Fang Jie immediately asked, "Can't I just buy 1% of the shares?"
"Of course." Wangqing nodded. Then he changed his tone and said, "But only by buying shares can you obtain the inn business rights. For example, pricing rights, business rights, and purchase rights and sales rights. If this share is not reached, life players can also place the finished products they manufactured in the inn for price and sale. But once someone enters the inn, everything must be followed by the rules of the player's shopkeeper."
"Haha. Then you can control the equity." Fang Jie smiled. He felt that this did not seem to be a big problem.
But Wangqing shook his head and said, "It's okay to say something about the inn in the city. But this inn in the wilderness may not be able to recover the cost. Don't think that players are as rich as you. When they go out, they basically eat dry food bought from the city. At most, they just find an inn to stay for half a night. Let the horse automatically recover a little physical strength before continuing to rush."
Fang Jie frowned. If this is the case, then this road will not be able to go through. There is no profit. What else can I do? While thinking, Wangqing said again: "Only a very small number of inns can make money. For example, Duan Niang's inn is the blessing of Huang Shang. Every day, players pass there are endless. This is how you can make money."
When talking about Duan Niang and Fang Jie's mind began to become active again, he couldn't help but say: "I think the inns in the suburbs are still profitable. According to the current game environment, players will stand on the same starting line for a long time in the future. If you want to open up the gap, you have to keep doing sect tasks, keep walking around the world, and eat the best food that increases attributes. Although many people have not realized this yet, this is an inevitable trend."
Speaking of this, Fang Jie smiled and said, "I'll be confident if you say that. I guess there are not many people who have the idea of playing these inns yet. It's not too late. In another year or two, the difficulties will be much greater."
Wangqing thought about it and felt that Fang Jie's words seemed to make some sense. He added: "In fact, if it is in the long run, this is indeed a huge profit. Because after reincarnation, a new world of martial arts will be opened. The game system will stop the sale of all daily necessities. All martial arts players' food, drink, defecation, sleep, and weapons and equipment are all provided by life players. Life players are much less than martial arts players. Once the market demand is enlarged, there will definitely be a shortage of supply."
Fang Jie was stunned. Unexpectedly, this would happen after reincarnation. He couldn't help but become full of confidence.
(I need to explain the issue about stallions here: Everyone has come into a misunderstanding. They think that stallions are bad. They are either stallions or good... This is a wrong concept. In fact, this question is very simple. Four words: Everything goes with the flow. It is a studded for the sake of stallions. It is a stud. It is a special way to stop the horse. It is bound to bind yourself. Jia Baoyu has lived in a pile of women since he was a child. He has never seen him stallion, right? Xiang Shaolong played all kinds of beauties in the seven countries. It is not necessarily that it is not good to look for Qin Ji? In fact, the question of how many wives the protagonist is not decided by me, nor by readers. It is determined by the protagonist's personality, encounter, and the personalities of various characters in the book. Everything goes with the flow...)
