The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 93 Who said that opening a store means selling goods?

"Is the Baiyu Gang's influence so great?" Lin Qi was also a little surprised after hearing this.

Not everyone can open businesses and companies in the suburbs. They are usually opened by the children of bigwigs living in the city, or by warriors themselves.

As for the children of bigwigs living in the City of Light, no one would even look at the White Feather Gang, the 17th-ranked gang in the wild, for fear of polluting their eyes.

As for the warriors, there is no need to mention it. The two are not on the same level at all. If the Baiyu Gang dares to threaten the warriors, they are definitely asking for trouble.

"Xiao Lin, aren't you underestimating the power of the top twenty gangs in the wild?" Luo Qi said speechlessly. "You might think those suburban businesses and companies are owned by those bigwigs, and how could a gang in the wild dare to interfere? But you probably don't know that those bigwigs never care about these businesses and companies. They simply collect bits every month, and everything is managed and handled by the employees."

"Those employees appear to have a good status in the eyes of the suburban vagrants and residents, but the reality is that they are just servants of the bigwigs. Those bigwigs don't care about anything else but how many bits they get each month. If it's less, they'll fire them in a matter of minutes."

"Many of the big gangs in the wild are aware of this, and I often hear complaints from my friends who have joined businesses and companies."

"When it comes to companies and enterprises entrusting transportation, it's often the people from these large companies who beg the big gangs for favors. Some smaller companies even have dedicated departments to cultivate good relationships with the senior management of the big gangs who manage transportation."

"Otherwise, if these big gangs in the wild get upset, the commissions from these small businesses and companies will be delayed."

"Don't those suburban companies and enterprises report to those big shots?" Lin Qi was shocked.

In his original understanding, wild gangs were definitely the lowest level of forces, specializing in doing dirty and tiring work and getting the least benefits.

Now after hearing what Luo Qi said, this is really promising.

"Do you think people in those companies and businesses haven't done these things before?" Luo Qi said with a wry smile, completely unconcerned. "When I was working at a decent suburban company, I quietly reported this to the big boss. What do you think the final outcome was?"

"Promotion and salary increase?" Lin Qi was also a little curious.

"If I could get a promotion and a raise, why would I want to be just an ordinary employee at the Cang Jing Weapon Shop?" Luo Qi rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "I was fired the next day, and the day after that, I was caught up in a fight between several Extreme Apprentices on the outskirts of the city. I was seriously injured and hospitalized, and that's when I lost an arm."

"If it's really as you said, would the bigwigs of those companies and enterprises be willing to let these wild gangs do this?" Lin Qi was even more puzzled.

Normally, if the big shots knew that they were able to set up companies and gangs in the suburbs, they would definitely not tolerate it. After all, those wild gangs were just useful dogs in the eyes of those big shots, and they would never allow these wild gangs to affect the operation of their own companies and enterprises.

"I didn't understand it before, but now I understand." Luo Qi said slowly, "Those big guys don't give in a little. Do they have to do all the dirty work themselves? That's obviously impossible. Maybe we can get rid of that wild gang, but if the other wild gangs find out, who would dare to accept the commission from that company? There are so many companies and enterprises in the suburbs, and commissions from such companies and enterprises are not mandatory. It's normal for those big guys to give up a small part of their profits. Everyone knows it tacitly."

"I was the fool in the beginning. I made the boss lose face, and the gang felt I was a threat, which ultimately led to the current situation."

"If that's the case, the Baiyu Gang does have a lot of influence." Lin Qi nodded, understanding the ins and outs of it.

I have to say that the Baiyu Gang did a great job. Although they wanted to deal with the Obsidian Martial Arts School, they did not do it openly. Instead, they secretly sent people to notify the people in charge of transportation in those companies and enterprises. Those people in charge of transportation in those companies and enterprises naturally knew what to do.

As one of the top 20 outdoor gangs, the Baiyu Gang certainly has enough strength to ensure the transportation of goods in the wild. On the contrary, the Obsidian Martial Arts School is only ranked in the top 50. Anyone who asks around will know that the comprehensive strength of the Obsidian Martial Arts School does not even reach the top 50.

The final choice was self-evident. "I've already rented the shop, and I'm just waiting for the merchandise to arrive before opening it," Luo Qi said helplessly. "It's fine on my end, but if Black Obsidian Martial Arts School doesn't have any good merchandise, opening this shop would be a complete loss."

As a shop owner, she only gets a base salary plus commission. She doesn't have to count on the commission. After all, the base salary of the Obsidian Martial Arts School is not low, a full 15,000 bits a month. This income is almost the same as that of the senior mechanics at the Cangjing Weapon Shop, not to mention that she has more freedom than the mechanics at the Cangjing Weapon Shop.

"When do you plan to open the store?" Lin Qi asked instead of answering.

"We have already hired two employees. We will be able to clean up the shop today and open it in the next two days at the earliest." Although Luo Qi didn't understand why Lin Qi asked this, she still quickly gave a time.

"Two days is enough." Lin Qi said with a smile, "Then follow your plan and open the store when the time comes."

"Opening a store? Then what should I sell here?" Luo Qi couldn't help but say, "Opening a new store is very important. If customers who come here know that the things sold in the store are very ordinary, they probably won't come back in the future."

Luo Qi knew very well that the Obsidian Martial Arts School had nothing to sell at the moment. At most, it could sell some Blood Essence Rice, which was the same price everywhere. Customers who came to the downtown area didn't need to come specially to buy it.

"Who said that our Obsidian Martial Arts School opened a store to sell things?" Lin Qi couldn't help but laugh.

He had already thought about opening a shop in the suburbs, otherwise he would not have set up a transit market in the wild, an act of isolating himself from the suburbs of the city.

After he knew that the Obsidian Martial Arts School could open a shop in the suburbs, he already knew that the Obsidian Martial Arts School did not have the products that could establish itself in the suburbs.

If there really is one, it is probably the meat of the one-horned golden rat.

But this thing cannot be sold casually. If you are not careful, the entire Obsidian Martial Arts School might be gone. It can only be sold to Xia Ling privately.

Without the meat of the unicorn-eating rat, the entire Obsidian Martial Arts School would have nothing to sell, and naturally, the suburban trading rights would become less important.

After Lin Qi thought for a while, he suddenly discovered something important.

That means he runs a martial arts school.

What kind of products does a martial arts school sell? Isn’t its main job to teach people martial arts?

So he had made up his mind and was ready to recruit temporary disciples for the martial arts school in the City of Chasing Light. This was a real big business in the suburbs. After all, this was a world of high-level martial arts, where martial arts were respected. There was never a shortage of people for any business that had anything to do with martial arts.

"Then what are you going to sell?" Luo Qi was even more confused.

"We are the Black Obsidian Martial Arts School. Of course, we teach others martial arts." Lin Qi said with a smile, "After opening the shop, your task will be to attract new people to learn martial arts at our Black Obsidian Martial Arts School."

"Teaching martial arts?" Luo Qi was stunned after hearing this. Thinking he had misheard, he couldn't help but confirm again, "Lin Zi, are you serious?"
