Douluo's Unification of Mountains and Rivers

Soto City is still so prosperous, even though it is morning, all the shops are already open for business.

A few days ago, Yang Chen was still in the Star Forest, which was full of wild atmosphere.In the blink of an eye, he returned to a prosperous metropolis like Soto City. Although this change was only a few days, Yang Chen felt like he was in a trance.

The purpose of Yang Chen's trip is very simple, which is to go to the Rose Hotel to see how Manager Wang is doing with the tasks he assigned, and to make some new requests by the way.

In Yang Chen's previous life, he encountered an interesting thing.There is a company that issues block coins, which are said to be tradable.But Yang Chen, who knew nothing about it, had no intention of speculating. He just planned to dig out the mines himself and sell what he could.The money earned can even buy the goddess a cup of milk tea.

Later I found out that the coin could only be used for (betting on) football, and I learned some knowledge about off-site betting on football.Thinking of over-the-counter betting, I decided to move this method to Douluo Continent. Although I didn't know the difficulties involved, it was definitely possible to give it a try. It was also a business that was sure to make money without losing any money.

That is to use the competition in the Soto Great Soul Fighting Arena to open your own small off-site betting market!

Walking into the Rose Hotel, he saw Manager Wang's son at the front desk. Yang Chen went straight to his bedroom in the hotel. Passing by the front desk, he said to Wang Xin: "Let Manager Wang go to my room to talk!"

Yang Chen returned to his bedroom in the Rose Hotel. The place was cleaned to perfection. Yang Chen was sitting in the living room. After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" The chubby Manager Wang seemed to have gained weight again, and his flesh was rolling like a potato.

Yang Chen was amused in his heart, and said to Manager Wang's figure: "Your figure is very reassuring to me! It must be because you are too busy at work and don't have time to exercise, right?"

Manager Wang smiled stiffly, "Master, please don't make fun of me. I am very loyal to you and will never do such a bad thing to enrich myself!"

Yang Chen said: "Have I told you that you have enriched your own pocket? Don't bring it upon yourself!"

Manager Wang knows his boss very well. If he is really disappointed with you, he will not talk to you at all and directly deal with the disloyal subordinates.

Therefore, when Manager Wang is scolded, the most correct thing to do is to stand at attention and accept it honestly. Otherwise, who knows what Yang Chen is doing here today!

In fact, Yang Chen didn't intend to investigate what his men had done. He could just beat them up at any time, and only clean them up when they were really outrageous.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore! How did you go about the things I gave you before?"

When it came to business, Manager Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "This bookstore is also bought together with the printing workshop. But according to your request, the young master, there are a few things that the young master needs to pay attention to!"

Yang Chen stretched his legs and put them on a chair nearby. Manager Wang squatted aside with great discernment and pinched the young master's legs.

"Oh! What's the question?"

Manager Wang said: "Our bookstore has no famous authors. We only sold some outdated novels before, and the profit was not large. As a result, it was difficult to operate and was on the verge of bankruptcy. If the new books printed rashly cannot be sold well, there are The risk of another collapse.”

Yang Chen patted his chest proudly and said: "It's okay, Master, I have a lot of money! As long as the book can sell well, I will do it even if I lose money! Be famous! Be famous! Do you understand?"

Manager Wang said timidly: "Master, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. The price of a printing plate is not a small sum. You must ask master craftsmen to carve inverted inscriptions on the wooden board before you can print books." , if one word is engraved wrongly on this wooden board, the entire printing board will be useless. Therefore, the wages of the engraving masters account for a large amount of expenses."

After Yang Chen heard the news, he jumped up with a loud sound, "Oh no, isn't this just engraving and printing?"

Although woodblock printing has witnessed the greatness of the world and can quickly print the books you want, which is much better than traditional handwritten books, there are also many shortcomings in woodblock printing.

First of all, woodblock printing was too cumbersome. Every time a new book was published, woodblocks had to be carved. There were a lot of plates to be carved, with an average of one plate for every two pages.If printed in color, one page may even require several plates.

Relatively speaking, the other kind of printing movable type is much simpler - tens of thousands of reusable typefaces are made in advance, then the words are selected and typeset according to the content of the manuscript, one page is laid out, hundreds or thousands of sheets are printed, and then Queue the next page and print hundreds or thousands more, which not only saves wood blocks, but also saves manpower!

Although the effect of movable type printing is very attractive, Yang Chen currently does not have the strength to realize it, and does not have enough time to develop and experiment with movable type printing technology!

Yang Chen asked: "Just tell me, how much money is left in the account!"

Manager Wang embarrassedly stretched out five fingers and waved them in front of Yang Chen's eyes.

"Five thousand gold soul coins?"

Manager Wang said: "It's five hundred!"

"What? Five hundred!"

Yang Chen said that he has never been so poor and only has five hundred gold soul coins left. I want to reflect on it! (sarcasm of an actor named Wang)

Yang Chen just lamented the money burning of this bookstore and did not doubt Manager Wang's character. Although Manager Wang usually liked to take advantage of small things, after his own investigation, he was able to abide by the most basic rules.

Seeing that he had no money left in his hand, Yang Chen rolled his eyes and quickly gave his chief secretary, Manager Wang, a trick.

"Hey, I originally had something to give you today. This matter is the same thing as what you said."

Regardless of whether he agreed with his boss's opinion or not, Manager Wang first looked at Yang Chen with an attitude of listening attentively.

Yang Chen pointed to the seat next to him, and after Manager Wang sat down, he said, "Have you ever heard of the gambling board in the Soto Spirit Arena?"

Manager Wang said cautiously: "Have you heard that the young master said we should place bets?"

"No matter what bet you place, no matter how powerful you are, you may make mistakes sometimes. What we want now is a business that will make you a sure profit and not lose any money. The risk of betting is too high!"

"What do you mean, young master?"

Yang Chen said inscrutably: "The betting odds of the Soto Great Soul Fighting Arena are fixed odds. The Great Soul Fighting Arena relies on experienced personnel to set the respective odds for the players to win based on the strength of both sides of the competition, and use Taking advantage of the information asymmetry with the gamblers, we can win countless gambling funds.”

Manager Wang also knew a little about the ways of these great soul fighting arenas. When he was young, he had been obsessed with them for a while.

Yang Chen continued: "Not only that, if gamblers want to play two hands, they must buy a ticket to enter the big soul fighting arena to place bets, and they must bet at least ten gold soul coins at a time, which completely abandons the mid-to-low-end market. "

"My idea is that we buy a store near the Great Spirit Fighting Arena, set up an off-site private sale, and open a few very popular games every day. There is no fixed odds, and the gambling funds will be allocated according to the betting ratio. We will distribute it to the winner of the bet, and we will only charge [-]% of the handling fee from the winner. In this way, gamblers can bet without spending a ticket, and ten copper soul coins can bet once."

As soon as Yang Chen finished speaking, Manager Wang's little eyes glowed with green light, "Why haven't I thought of this good idea before!"

After listening to Yang Chen's plan, Manager Wang had the idea that he could do it alone, but then he shook his head in fear.Although this idea is very creative, as an ordinary person, without the support of the young master, any soul master can steal my business.

Ordinary people have no human rights!

This thought was extinguished in Manager Wang's mind in an instant, and then he remembered that he could not do this kind of business, but other soul masters could follow suit to grab the business.

So Manager Wang clumsily held his hands towards Yang Chen and said: "Master, your idea is really genius. My admiration for you is like the endless river, and like the river overflowing and getting out of control. It's just that this business Will others learn from it?"

Yang Chen looked at Manager Wang in surprise, yo! "You have a good vision! You can think of all this in advance. Don't worry, when the time comes, I can trick anyone who wants to steal our business!"

Yang Chen wasn't bragging. There were so many deceptive tricks in his previous life, so there was no need to work hard to deceive his opponent. Just pick two and you could kill your opponent.

Of course, Yang Chen's main focus is still on the bookstore, as long as the casino and hotel can provide sufficient funds for his bookstore.I don’t care too much about others competing with me for business.

As for those who rob Yang Chen by force and rely on their strength to directly bully Yang Chen.The worst case scenario is that Yang Chen will cooperate with Dean Flanders on his business. Not everyone dares to destroy the business of a level 78 soul saint.

Especially St. Flanders, the four-eyed cat eagle soul who is stingy to the extreme. He is really a model of treating wealth as life.

Based on experience in previous lives, everyone knows that the best way to run a store is to rent.But considering Yang Chen's idea of ​​antiques, it would be best to buy a shop. But when he thought about his financial constraints, he had no choice but to teach Manager Wang to rent a shop to run the gambling business.

Yang Chen was still hesitating at first, but for a moment he thought that everyone in Shrek Academy would only be able to attend classes in the academy for one year. According to the development of the plot, Shrek Academy will go to Tiandou under the advice of master Yu Xiaogang. city.

Yang Chen pondered and said: "How about you, find a shop that is closer to the big spirit fighting arena and has a bigger place, rent it for a private gambling session, and rent it for a year first. Then you can sell drinks and so on. "

As for how to operate later, I left it to Manager Wang. Yang Chen patted Manager Wang on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job and help your son find a soul master daughter without soul power in the future. Your Wang family may also become a soul master family." !”

Yang Chen's promise deeply aroused Manager Wang's desire. If it were said that the previous Manager Wang only wanted to be Yang Chen's lackey and get the protection of the soul master family.In the future, you will have no worries about food and clothing, and you will have many children and grandchildren. Occasionally, you can get some "little odds and ends" from your master's family that the master's family doesn't like.

But now the young master's words seem to have ignited a flame in Manager Wang's heart, burning brightly, yes!

Didn't the Yang family just marry a soul master's daughter who had no soul power, and gave birth to four children, three of whom became soul masters? (Manager Wang does not know the details)

Manager Wang thought, if it was possible, the Wang family could also...

Yang Chen knew very well the principle of hitting him with a stick and giving him a sweet date, so that he could control his subordinates to do their best for him.

Draw a big pie to encourage Manager Wang to work hard for himself.

Yang Chen waved his hand and asked Manager Wang who was happily stepping back. Looking at Manager Wang who was full of energy, Yang Chen smiled slightly. He didn't really fool his subordinates. If he did everything to his satisfaction, Yang Chen doesn't mind helping the Wang family.

Originally, if an ordinary rich man wanted to marry the child of a soul master without soul power, it would be completely impossible without other factors.

The Yang family also relied on the secret of "crocodile glue" to get married to Cheng Jia. As for how many children are born who can awaken their soul power, it all depends on luck. Those who are unlucky may not give birth to children with innate soul power at all. .

There is no place in Soto City that Yang Chen deserves to miss. After taking a batch of blank papers from the hotel, Yang Chen planned to return to Shrek Academy.

When they came, they didn't agree on a time to go back together. Everyone went their own way. For Yang Chen, cultivation is the most important thing, especially the cultivation of his second martial soul.

Because Yang Chen thought of a problem, that is, only in times of peace would people study. In times of war, everyone would only think about having enough to eat and live.

According to the development of the plot, Tang San became the Poseidon at the age of 25, and is now 12 years old. During these 13 years, at least half of the time, wars broke out frequently on the mainland, and the people were in dire straits. Time really did not wait for me!

As for Yang Chen's talent, that's nonsense. Like Tang San, he is a Blue Silver Grass with innate soul power. He is still a few months older than Tang San. He even has the upper hand by breaking through the maximum number of years for the first soul ring. Take advantage.With these advantages, Yang Chen's strength was actually three levels lower than Tang San.

Yang Chen did not return to the dormitory with Tang San, but returned to the courtyard he rented in the village outside the college.

Not long after Yang Chen sat down, there was a sound of climbing over the wall. He pushed open the bedroom door and a beautiful figure came to Yang Chen's desk. He smiled at Yang Chen and said, "I knew you would be here as soon as you come back!"

Seeing that it was Ning Rongrong arriving, Yang Chen said: "Don't be polite to me, we are all classmates, find a place to sit by yourself!"

Ning Rongrong pulled up a chair and sat in front of Yang Chen's desk, looking at him with a pair of big watery eyes. Yang Chen had to admit that Ning Rongrong's appearance was the most attractive in Shrek Academy.

Jiang Shanshan wins because she is well-behaved and obedient, and she is a soft and cute girl.

Although Zhu Zhuqing is also very beautiful, she always looks like she should not be approached by strangers, and is extremely cold.

Xiao Wu excels in her slender waist and a pair of long legs. She is worthy of being a 10-year-old soft-bone rabbit. If possible, those long legs would last three years.

Let's talk about Ning Rongrong, she is really a treasure girl, she is beautiful, and her father is the sect leader of the Qibao Glazed Sect.

Ever since the Haotian Sect retired and relied on two titled Douluo to take charge, the Qibao Glazed Sect had become the most powerful sect in the mainland.In the Qibao Glazed Sect, as a little princess, Ning Rongrong would immediately have people rushing to bring it to her if she wanted it.

Coupled with the unique treasure appraisal ability of Qibao Glazed Pagoda, precious materials can often be found.She is simply a mobile gold mine, the rich woman who is the favorite of soft-hearted men!

What's more, for a young virgin like Yang Chen who doesn't have much love experience, of course he can't tell if Ning Rongrong is green tea or if he is really interested in him.Looking at this posture, Yang Chen simply thought that Ning Rongrong was interested in him.

Although Yang Chen has already agreed on a relationship with Jiang Shanshan, and his favorite must be Jiang Shanshan, it is more like a family relationship between childhood sweethearts.And Yang Chen originally had a fraternal heart.It's not that you have a change of heart, it can only be said that a heart can be divided into two halves, one goes to Jiang Shanshan, and the other goes to Ning Rongrong.

While Yang Chen was sitting daydreaming, Ning Rongrong asked: "Brother Chen, who do you think is more beautiful between me and Jiang Shanshan?"
