The game had only been out for a few days, barely half a month, and they already had a Level 2 shop. How could it not attract attention?
Bird Shot Empty nodded and said to Low-Key Nan Nan, “Our profit split here is 10%. Do you still want to stay?”
“Why is it so low? Other guilds offer at least 20%, plus a base salary.” Low-Key Nan Nan frowned. This salary was too weak, worse than some small guilds.
Even Nie Yan was surprised to hear that. He had given Bird Shot Empty full authority to recruit pharmacists, as long as the split was below 30%. Low-Key Nan Nan and殇 Xin could still give some extra benefits. He didn’t expect Bird Shot Empty to offer such a low price. How would he retain those pharmacists? With the attitude of employing people without suspicion, Nie Yan decided to keep watching.
Bird Shot Empty said calmly, “We don’t have a base salary here because the base salary is negligible. The only thing we have is an inexhaustible supply of materials and a relatively good sales platform. If you want to earn more, there are countless materials upstairs. You can work from morning till night. There are also many pharmacist-exclusive laboratories, and everyone can be assigned one. Our shop will be upgraded soon, to Level 3, Level 4, Level 5. In the future, we will be bringing in pharmacists every day. This will become the largest pharmacy in Calore City. If you earn enough profit for the pharmacy, we will consider giving you an additional 10% bonus.”
Hearing Bird Shot Empty’s bragging, Nie Yan couldn’t help but chuckle. Thinking about it, it was true. People were inherently contrary. Sometimes, if the conditions were too generous, they wouldn’t care. Bird Shot Empty’s approach could actually fool people. However, in the future, he would have to give these pharmacists enough benefits to make them truly willing to stay. Handing the pharmacy over to Bird Shot Empty relieved Nie Yan’s worries. With Bird Shot Empty’s abilities, he was more than capable of handling the job. Even if Bird Shot Empty wasn’t a pharmacist, he might succeed as a manager.
Perseverance, patience, and focus were prerequisites for success. With these qualities, as long as they were given a good platform for development, they would definitely succeed. There were also some people who had perseverance, patience, and focus, but didn’t succeed, perhaps not because they lacked talent, but simply because they lacked a platform. As long as a platform was provided, it was still possible to unearth many outstanding people from the grassroots.
Therefore, to find excellent seedlings, one should not only look among those who had succeeded in the previous life. But of course, those who were famous in the previous life were readily available. From Nie Yan’s point of view, why not look for the readily available?
Low-Key Nan Nan pondered for a moment and asked, “Can I go upstairs and take a look?”
Bird Shot Empty glanced at Nie Yan, saw Nie Yan nod in agreement, and said, “Yes, come with me.”
Nie Yan whispered to Bird Shot Empty, “I’m leaving first. I’m leaving the pharmacy to you. Like you said, we will continue to upgrade the pharmacy and continue to recruit pharmacists. A few dozen is too few, a few hundred is not too many.”
“I understand. Don’t worry, boss. I’ll take care of things here.”
Nie Yan had enough funds to invest. He could accurately judge which potions would sell well in the future and which potions had greater appreciation potential. Under his guidance, the future operation of the Starlight Pharmacy was definitely not a problem.
Not only that, Nie Yan wanted to make the Starlight Pharmacy into a behemoth in the industry, the future direction of all pharmacists!
In addition to purchasing materials and recipes from the auction house, Nie Yan also needed a stable source of materials and recipes. Otherwise, the pharmacy’s operations would be too affected by market fluctuations. If someone targeted the Starlight Pharmacy in the future, the Starlight Pharmacy’s market adaptability would be very low.
Nie Yan thought of the Holy Roman Empire. If he could get the Holy Roman Empire to help collect materials, he wouldn’t have to worry about the source of materials. He could also gradually tie the interests of the Holy Roman Empire to his own through cooperation.
Back then, Cao Xu tied all five guilds, including Triumph, together to solidify his position as a hegemon. Nie Yan wanted to gain a firm foothold. He couldn’t rely on himself alone, nor could he completely rely on others!
During the days since his rebirth, Nie Yan had taken every step very steadily. His personal strength was getting stronger and stronger, and his economic strength was also expanding, but he understood that his time was limited. Once the game currency exchange was opened, he would have to face many, many enemies. The road ahead would not be smooth.
At this thought, Nie Yan felt a sense of urgency in his heart. He had to work very hard.
Taking twenty-five gold coins from the Starlight Pharmacy, Nie Yan walked out of the Starlight Pharmacy and headed towards the auction house. He collected all the Anti-Petrification Potions and the like, and then bought a large number of potion recipes and materials that might appreciate in the future. He mailed everything related to potions back to the Starlight Pharmacy. He bought up all the equipment and items that might appreciate in the short term and put them in his personal warehouse.
After sweeping the goods in the auction house, Nie Yan looked at his personal warehouse, which was densely packed with various items, worth about nine gold coins. The future appreciation expectation of these things was very good.
After sweeping the goods, Nie Yan had sixteen gold coins left. He walked towards the teleportation array and entered the teleportation array.
System: Are you sure you want to teleport to Hilderlock, the Emerald City? This teleportation is an intercity teleportation and requires 1 gold coin.
The distance between cities was relatively long. Because the cost of intercity teleportation was too expensive, there was relatively little interaction between players in different cities.
Yes!
A few seconds later, a charming, dreamlike city appeared before Nie Yan’s eyes.
In fact, this was a city in the forest. Huge trees towered into the sky, sheltering the city in greenery. These trees were lush and green, as clear as emeralds, and coordinated with the white buildings below, creating an amazing harmony and beauty. Patches of mottled light and shadow were scattered and flowing, dazzlingly beautiful.
People came and went in the streets, but the popularity here was incomparable to Calore City.
Hilderlock was the sixth largest city in Greenland, but the real estate here had the most appreciation potential in the future, because Hilderlock had more advanced maps, so the popularity would increase in the future. At the same time, Hilderlock was the city with the least amount of land, with only a dozen pieces of land for sale. Hilderlock didn’t attract much attention now, but in the future, it would be worth every inch of land. The commercial prosperity was not as good as Calore City, but the land price was ridiculously high, dozens of times that of Calore City.
Nie Yan came here precisely because he was optimistic about the appreciation potential of the real estate here. He had to buy the most valuable and most promising golden real estate in the future to make the most of this money.
Nie Yan walked towards the city hall in the center of Hilderlock. The city hall was a crystal palace, magnificent and beautiful, with fountains and beautiful gardens on both sides. Various magnificent flowers competed for beauty, and were extremely beautiful.
“Honorable Governor Cullen, hello.”
The governor of Hilderlock was a slightly fat middle-aged man, with a sturdy figure and a peaceful expression.
“Hello, adventurer from Calore City, what do you need?”
“I want to buy real estate in Hilderlock.”
“Please come with me.” Governor Cullen led Nie Yan towards the hall.
Entering the hall, a model of the city appeared before Nie Yan’s eyes. The original appearance of Hilderlock City was completely displayed before Nie Yan’s eyes.
“We have a total of 12 properties for sale here, which are here, here, and here... We provide the best quality services for Hilderlock merchants. We have complete laws here, which can protect the interests of merchants from infringement. However, since you are from Calore City, we have regulations here that if residents from other cities come to our city to purchase commercial storefronts and real estate, they must pay an additional 60% fee, and they must also pay a large transfer fee when reselling.” Governor Cullen said.
Nie Yan looked at the prices of the 12 properties. The cheapest was 2 gold coins, and the most expensive was 26 gold coins. In addition, he had to pay an additional 60% fee. If he could find a native of Hilderlock to help him buy the real estate, that would be great, but in Hilderlock, Nie Yan didn’t have anyone he could trust.
Nie Yan glanced at the map and quickly locked onto a property, which was located at the south gate of Hilderlock, at an intersection. The price was around 8 gold coins, and the land was quite large, enough to accommodate a large auction house. Paying an extra 60% was well worth it.
In the future, the south of Hilderlock will be the most prosperous area, because the Golden City and other important future dungeons must pass through the post road outside Hilderlock. Players from many cities will gather in the square at the south gate to form teams to go to the dungeons. The future development potential can be imagined.
“I want to buy this land.” Nie Yan pointed to the land.
“The price of this property is 8 gold coins. You need to pay 12 gold coins and 80 silver coins for it.”
Nie Yan paid 12 gold coins and 80 silver coins and successfully obtained the contract from Governor Cullen. With another piece of real estate in his hand, he felt a sense of security in his heart. As someone who had been displaced, he understood that only real estate was the safest.
