203. Ghost market investing
Qin Yao took the opportunity to ask: "Boss, why don't you soak the snake head in wine with such a big snake head on the table?"
"Soak it?" the boss snorted, "I would like to, but you can't buy such a big wine vat in the ghost market."
"That makes sense. Where did this snake head come from?"
"The fishermen caught it from Taiyin Lake. Knowing that I like bubble bone wine, they sent it to me. At that time, my head felt hot, so I took it away, and ended up smashing it in my hand."
"Wouldn't it be better to resell it and buy it?"
"This snake head should be a good thing. I have been in the ghost market for a hundred years, and I have never seen such a big snake head. I can't make wine from it. I want to pack up this liquor store and this snake head and sell it."
"The wine shop is running well, why should it change hands?"
"I want to reincarnate..."
"reincarnation?"
Kimiko, who was eagerly watching the monkey drink, heard the conversation and came over with a gust of evil wind, "Boss, how much evil have you saved? One million?"
"It's a beautiful thought. How easy is it to save millions of virtues?"
The boss said in a disdainful tone, "I've been staying in this hellish place for almost a hundred years, and I've almost accumulated 100,000 yin virtues. I can find a rich family in my next life, and I'll be content."
"How much does it cost to take over your stall?" Qin Yao asked casually.
"Not much, 25 gold coins, 2500 Yin De."
"25 gold coins is not expensive, your stall is so small."
"It's a bit small, but there are still so many goods! And... such a big snakehead... And, there's an old guy! This wine shop is run with care, and the annual income is quite considerable."
"Well, let's make it cheaper, and I'll take over your shop."
"You take over?" The boss subconsciously sat up, glanced at Qin Yao, and then lay down again, "Don't be joking, old man."
"I'm not kidding you, if the price is right, I will pay now."
As soon as the words came out, not only the boss, but also A Dong and Ximei were shocked.
Only Crow and Guizai know that their boss is wealthy and decisive, and he is serious.
"Then...2400 Yin De."
"1700."
"2350, young man, you bargained too hard."
"I'll give you 1800, hurry up and get a good baby!"
"2200, that's alright!"
"Exceeded my expectations."
"2100, if I hadn't been in a hurry to reincarnate, I wouldn't have offered such a low price. Don't make fun of the old man."
"1900, I won't make fun of old people!"
The boss jumped up and gritted his teeth, "2,000 Yin De! 20 gold coins. To tell you the truth, I only need 2,000 to make up 100,000 Yin De. I really can't miss even one tael! In the past few decades, I didn't have a new life.
My thoughts, when I have money, I either spend it or gamble. Now my mind has changed. What’s the point of the underworld? The earth is better. I’ve been saving money hard these past few years, and I’m only short of 2,000!”
The boss didn't lie, and the neighbors helped spread the news about the liquor store's transfer. During this period, the stall was not without interest, but there was really no one who could take out 20 gold coins in one breath.
The previous quotation was something he said casually, and it was indeed a bit high, but 2,000 Yin De was his base price.
It has been almost a hundred years, and the old man has really had enough of being a ghost, and grass has grown in his heart.
"make a deal!"
Under the boss's burning gaze, Qin Yao took out two strings of gold coins tied with red strings from his wide sleeves and placed them on the counter.
Each string of 10 gold coins is worth a total of 2,000 yin virtues.
The old ghost was stunned for a long time, dropped the wine bottle in his hand, walked to the counter in three steps, grabbed the ghost coins, and counted them again and again. For a moment, he was beaming with joy.
He put the coins in his pocket and took out a thick pile of ledgers from the counter.
"This is the account book, monthly income and expenditure, just for your reference. The purchasing channels and prices are noted at the back. The different brewing methods of each medicinal wine are also recorded at the back, please keep it."
After finishing the explanation, he turned around and came to the stone wall. On the stone wall of the stall was carved a ferocious face with a bloody mouth.
Every stall in Funan Ghost Market has a ghost face like this.
"These are the rules set by Datuk. We use them to hand over. The process is very simple."
The old ghost put his hand into the evil ghost's mouth and muttered: "Sir Datuk, I, Basong, will leave the ghost market and be reincarnated as a human being. From now on, a new person will take over this stall."
A strange light lit up from the evil ghost's mouth. After a few seconds, the light dimmed, and Basong took out his hand.
"Young man, it's your turn. State your name and report to Datuk. From now on, just pay taxes as required every year. Opening a shop is still much easier than working as a coolie."
This process is efficient... Qin Yaoxin said.
Taking over a company is not that simple, and the process can be daunting.
Qin Yao stood still and waved to Adong, "Adong, come here."
"What...me?"
Adong, who was supervising the monkey's drinking, was shaken and pointed at his nose, his eyes widening behind his cloudy lenses.
"I don't have time to run it. You will be the boss. I am the investor behind the scenes."
"Brother...I..."
A Dong's voice choked up, how could such a good thing happen to him...
"Stop working as a coolie and punting boats. You won't be able to save much money all year round." Qin Yao said in a low tone, "Seeing how miserable your life is, I feel uncomfortable."
A Dong was so excited that he gritted his teeth tightly and his eyes were red.
He was not good at words, his mouth was mumbling and his voice was hoarse. He spoke several times but did not know what to say.
Qin Yao patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, I trust you, go ahead."
Qin Yao and A Dong only met twice in total, but A Dong left a deep imprint on his heart. He was a responsible man, both before and after his death.
The crow landed on Adong's shoulder, "Our boss is a generous man, you will be lucky from now on!"
A Dong was pushed in front of the stone wall ghost face and went through the process in a daze. He was completely confused.
At this time, the monkey guy finished drinking and came to A Dong to collect the money.
"The crow slapped the monkey's wings from behind and said, "Wooden head, from now on, Uncle Glasses is your boss. Do you still have to charge for drinking his own wine?"
"Yes, yes..." His predecessor Basong came to the monkey, "Old man, I have to leave."
The monkey raised its head dully, as if it was not very smart, maybe because it was too old.
Basong patted the monkey guy on the shoulder and said, "From now on, this will be your new boss. Work hard and I won't treat you badly." After saying that, he turned around and went behind the counter and took out an old embroidered satchel, which was bulging.
, carried on the shoulders.
"Boy, I have to leave. This wine shop... I'm leaving it to you."
The old ghost spoke earnestly to Qin Yao and A Dong.
"I wish you good luck in the next life!"
"Thank you...I love hearing this!"
The already stooped waist was straightened up, and the old ghost disappeared into the bustling crowd, walking happily...
The old man who has lived in the ghost market for hundreds of years still longs for a new life in the end.
"Sigh... I also want to earn enough 1 million, be reincarnated into a rich and noble family, and leave this hellish place..." Kimiko said in a nonchalant tone with great envy.
He turned around and looked at Qin Yao, his beautiful eyes were crooked and full of waves.
"Boss, if you are so rich, why don't you invest in helping me open a company?" he said in a flattering tone.
