Chapter 82 Baibao Tower
In the evening, all the shops were closed, and one after another the tribesmen returned to the small courtyard in Fangshi.
Lin Xingzhi gathered everyone together.
It was the first time for many clan members to see Lin Tianming, and they were very curious about this prosperous clan member.
As a junior, Lin Tianming clasped his fists and saluted in front of him, which doubled the goodwill of the clan members.
After Lin Xingzhi's introduction, Lin Tianming also became familiar with these tribesmen.
Including Lin Xingzhi and Lin Tianming, the Lin family in Fangshi has a total of 14 people, with varying levels of cultivation.
Among the 12 people, Lin Xingyuan is a ninth-level qi practitioner and a first-level mid-level alchemist. Lin Tianming will replace him and will return to the family soon. With this, including Lin Tianming's brother Lin Xingzhi, there will be 13 people.
Among the other clan members, one is on the eighth level of Qi Refining and manages the Baibao Tower, the other two clan members on the seventh level of Qi Refining are the shopkeepers of inns and restaurants, and the rest are below the fifth level of Qi Refining.
Twelve clan members manage three shops.
Three clan members are in charge of the core Baibao Building, which mainly collects and sells various spiritual objects, bringing a large amount of wealth to the family every year.
Inns and restaurants are worse, with average profitability, but better than nothing.
In fact, the Lin family's biggest source of income in Fangshi is not from the three major stores, but from store rentals and Fongshi's income.
There are more than 100 shops in the entire Luoyunfang City trading area. The Lin family has only a dozen, while the Jin family has more than 30. The five major families occupy [-]% of the shops, and more than a dozen Qi refining families occupy the remaining [-]%.
Although the Lin family has more than ten shops, there really are not that many clan members to use them, so they keep three of them in better locations for their own use and rent out the rest.
Not only the Lin family is like this, but the other four major families also operate in this way.
The main source of wealth is the income from the market, which depends on the rent of the stall area, the rent of the rented cave, the profits from the auction house, and the spiritual stones paid into the city.
Fangshi is the cornucopia of the five major families, and the annual profits are extremely huge. That's why the five major families attach so much importance to it and fight openly and secretly for their interests.
After half an hour of chatting, Lin Tianming already knew almost everything about Fangshi, and he became familiar with all the clan members.
Late at night, the chat ended and everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
The next day, Lin Tianming and Lin Xingzhi came to Baibao Tower.
Lin Tianming also looked at it.
There are three floors in the entire Baibao Building, and the first floor is filled with some common things used by Qi Refining monks.
The second level also has some second-level items, but there are not many of them, probably dozens of types, and the sales volume is not much. After all, in this kind of place, there are too few foundation-building monks.
The third floor is the temporary residence of the family monks and rooms for entertaining distinguished guests.
Entering the Baibao Building, Lin Xingzhi took out the account book and consolidated it with Lin Xingshun, added some elixirs and talismans, and Lin Xingzhi left.
Lin Tianming and Lin Xingyuan worked together to refine all the elixirs received by Baibaolou into elixirs.
When Lin Tianming finished refining the first batch of elixir, Lin Xingyuan was completely stunned.
Before refining alchemy, Lin Xingyuan planned to stay for half a year, waiting until Lin Tianming's alchemy level was up to par before leaving.
Who would have thought that his alchemy level far surpassed his own, even surpassing Lin Shigong's.
Since Lin Tianming's level was so high, Lin Xingyuan didn't stop here. He said goodbye to everyone and returned directly to his family.
In Baibao Building, Lin Tianming and Lin Xingshun drank spiritual tea and discussed the business situation of Baibao Building.
Lin Xingshun took out the account book and introduced it.
"Currently, the monthly profit is probably hundreds of spiritual stones, and on good days it can reach thousands. It is mainly based on the sales of spiritual weapons, supplemented by elixirs."
Lin Tianming frowned after hearing Lin Xingshun's introduction.
"Uncle, is the business so bad?" "There is too much competition in the market. There are many elixirs in the Jin family's shop, and the spiritual weapons are not bad. The Sun family's Fu Rong business is extremely popular, making hundreds of profits every month. Shi is pretty good, as far as I know, the Wu family and the Luo family are worse than us, not to mention the Qi Lian family."
Lin Xingshun said helplessly.
"That's all, how much elixir materials can we purchase each month?"
"The acquisition of elixirs has never been a priority, so there are not many of them. Regardless of variety, there are probably more than [-] plants!"
"That's all, Uncle Clan, I will be refining a large amount of elixirs later. You are buying elixirs at a high price during this period, even if they cost one or two spiritual stones!"
"This……"
Lin Xingshun seemed a little confused and couldn't make up his mind! "Uncle, don't worry. It will take less than two months and I guarantee you will see the effect."
At first, Lin Xingshun was hesitant about whether he should do what this talented junior said.
"That's all, that's all, since he dares, let him go!"
Lin Tianming said confidently, which reassured the hesitant Lin Xingshun.
"Okay, I'll tell you to go down and deliver the elixir materials to you immediately."
"it is good!"
After convincing Lin Xingshun, Lin Tianming said goodbye and left, returning to the small courtyard to practice.
Half a month later, Lin Xingshun sent a batch of Lingyuan Dan and Guyuan Dan materials, totaling more than 40 copies.
Lin Tianming immediately started refining alchemy.
In just seven days, Lin Tianming sent more than 80 pills and kept 150 pills for himself.
After taking the elixir refined by Lin Tianming, Lin Xingshun looked at it. Lin Xingshun was also shocked.
"You made this?"
"Yes, I suggest that Uncle Clan sell these elixirs at a [-]% discount, quickly become famous, and wait for a while before adjusting the price. Don't worry about this loss!"
"Okay, just do as you say."
Lin Xingshun was very excited and immediately gave orders.
As several days passed, there was an endless stream of monks who came to buy elixirs. Relying on the excellent quality of the Lingyuan Dan, more than 80 elixirs were quickly sold out.
The business of Baibaolou is getting more and more popular, and other unsalable spiritual objects are also sold.
Two months passed in a flash.
Lin Tianming lived a very fulfilling life during this period, either refining elixirs or practicing cultivation, and occasionally worked as a clerk in a shop.
During this period, Baibaolou also purchased elixirs on a large scale. With Lin Tianming around, they quickly refined the elixirs and sold them through the store.
Relying on the high-quality elixirs, Baibaolou's business has increased significantly, and its daily turnover has more than tripled.
Lin Tianming also relied on the rewards of alchemy to accumulate thousands of spiritual stones.
Lin Xingshun, the shopkeeper of Baibaolou, was also very excited. Within two months, Baibaolou, which had a mediocre business, quickly became the most popular store in the city, and he also received a large amount of dividends.
From then on, Lin Xingshun had no doubts about Lin Tianming's opinions and was very supportive.
In this way, Lin Tianming quickly brought up Baibaolou's business.
In a room on the third floor of Baibao Building, Lin Tianming and Lin Xingzhi were drinking spiritual tea. They were very happy and chatted happily.
