Chapter 159: The Most Important Thing in Business is Connections
All the Heavenly Cities have been passed through?
Qin Feng knew that the Huarong Road would definitely pass through the southern Heavenly City, but it shouldn’t and couldn’t be all of them!
After all, the southern Heavenly City is located in various places, with some terrains being steep and some surrounded by mountains.
To connect all these Heavenly Cities and build official roads, how much manpower and financial resources would be needed?
This is a completely thankless task!
“Unless there is a reason that Huarong Road must be built like this,” Qin Feng pondered.
The reason is nothing more than finding some commonality among the Heavenly Cities.
As long as you analyze the commonalities, you can find clues.
It is well known that the Heavenly Cities are vast, well-guarded, and densely populated.
No, that’s not right. All of this is just a result after the Heavenly Cities were established.
Why were the Heavenly Cities established?
Qin Feng thought of this, and suddenly a flash of insight appeared in his mind, widening his eyes!
“The onlookers see more than the players. I should have been curious from the beginning. Why would an official road be built in a remote place like Jinyang City in the southern region? It’s because of dragon veins!”
Yes, the fundamental reason for the establishment of Heavenly Cities is that they are all places with dragon veins!
And after experiencing the disaster of the previous invasion, Qin Feng knew that Jinyang City also had dragon veins!
“So, rather than saying that Huarong Road connects all Heavenly Cities, it is more accurate to say that it connects all the dragon vein locations in the southern region.
But what is the purpose of doing this?
In addition to the three forces driving the construction of Huarong Road, there is also the hand of the Imperial Teacher of the Heavenly Tower.”
Qin Feng unraveled the clues and glimpsed a small part of the iceberg, but he knew too little information to continue analyzing.
“Never mind, these things have nothing to do with me.
Jinyang City has dragon veins, and it is highly probable that Imperial City will turn this place into a Heavenly City.
By then, we will be much safer.”
The safety of his family is what Qin Feng cares about the most.
He doesn’t want Jinyang City to suffer another invasion like the one above.
“Good!” Qin Jian’an slapped the table and stood up, a big smile on his face.
This sudden move startled Qin Feng.
What crazy idea is the old man up to again?
Second Mother patted her chest and complained, “Old man, what are you doing suddenly? Is there something you want to do?”
Upon hearing this, the old man said contentedly, “When our family moved from Imperial City to here, you opposed it.
Later, I spent half of my savings to buy the largest restaurant in the city, Moonlit Pavilion. You said I was wasting money.
But look at it now!
With the construction of Huarong Road reaching here and connecting all the major Heavenly Cities, the land prices here must be soaring!
I knew it; I have the talent for business. It’s just that my vision is too far-sighted, so you couldn’t understand!”
With a confident speech, the old man restored the majestic appearance of the head of the family, triumphant.
He looked at Qin Feng and said with a smile, “Feng’er, now you know where your business acumen comes from, right?
But there is one thing I want to tell you.
We businessmen cannot only focus on immediate benefits but must have a long-term perspective, just like me!
Do you understand?”
The Money Spreading Child actually has the nerve to teach me the ways of business?
Qin Feng’s mouth twitched, unsure of how to respond.
At this moment, Black Charcoal Head came with an excited person, surprisingly the Manager Peng?
“Manager Peng, why are you here?” the old man asked curiously.
After exchanging brief greetings with Qin Jian’an and Second Mother, Peng Qing bowed deeply to Qin Feng, “Young Master, you are truly extraordinary!”
“Looking at you like this, was the acquisition successful?” Qin Feng asked.
“Acquisition?” Father Qin was stunned, sensing that something was not quite right.
“Yes, Young Master, no one knows who wiped out the people in the Lord’s Mansion, and their taverns have naturally become ownerless. In my recent travels, I was fortunate not to disappoint, and I’ve taken control of all these taverns!”
“All the taverns?” Qin Jian’an swallowed nervously, and the Second Mother nearby looked astonished.
Before this, everyone knew about the Lord’s Mansion’s aggressive acquisition of taverns. The quantity involved was probably substantial!
“Now, how many taverns in Jinyang City are under our name?” Qin Feng asked calmly.
“A rough estimate, at least over ninety percent!” Manager Peng, looked admiringly. He felt that following the Young Master was the best decision he had made in his life!
“Hmm, not bad.” Qin Feng remained calm; after all, this outcome was within his expectations.
However, Father Qin couldn’t hold back and exclaimed, “This is considered not bad?”
The arrival of Huarong Road would likely cause the prices of these taverns to skyrocket! The Qin family might become the wealthiest in the region because of this.
Qin Feng glanced at his father, feigning curiosity. “Dad, why are you so surprised? You just taught me that a businessman’s vision must be far-sighted. I’m just following your teachings.”
Father Qin was momentarily speechless.
“But, Young Master, how did you learn about the affairs of the Lord’s Mansion, and how did you know that Huarong Road was going to be dug outside Jinyang City?” Mr. Peng asked, expressing his doubts.
Three days ago, Qin Feng approached him and gave him a large sum of money, equivalent to nearly ninety percent of the expected profits for the next two months.
At that time, the Young Master only gave one instruction: acquire all the taverns under the Lord’s Mansion as quickly as possible!
While Mr. Peng was puzzled, he didn’t ask much and simply followed the instructions.
He originally thought that buying taverns from the Lord’s Mansion would be very difficult.
But to his surprise, everyone in the Lord’s Mansion seemed to have disappeared.
After inquiring, he learned from the Chief Si Zheng that the Lord’s Mansion had suffered a calamity!
Because of this, the acquisition was effortless.
Today, early in the morning, a large crowd arrived outside Jinyang City.
A piece of news spread throughout the small city in no time.
The official road, Huarong Road, has been extended outside the city!
The whole city was shocked, followed by cheers and joy.
After hearing this, Mr. Peng had even greater admiration for the Young Master’s plan!
In the hall, everyone looked over, their curiosity evident on their faces.
“These information were given to me by the Chief of the Demon Slayer Department, so I could plan ahead.” explained Qin Feng.
“Ah, I see.” the Manager Peng suddenly realized.
Qin Feng looked at his somewhat lost and dejected father on the side and asked, “Dad, do you know what else merchants need besides a long-term perspective in business?”
His father shook his head somewhat confusedly.
“It’s a connection.” Qin Feng emphasized with great sincerity.
After saying this, he began discussing with the Manager Peng on the side.
Taking over so many restaurants in a short period, there would undoubtedly be a lot of trivial matters to handle next.
Fortunately, because there was a precedent for the joining of the restaurants, managing these establishments owned by the City Lord’s Mansion would be as easy as following a pattern.
Qin Feng believed that with the outstanding ability of Manager Peng, handling these minor matters would be completely problem-free.
“Father, are you okay?” Second Madam asked with concern.
His father, already somewhat skeptical about life, replied, “Madam, I’m fine. I just want some quiet time.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng suddenly turned his head and asked, “Dad, who is Jing Jing?”
Qin Jian’an: “???”
Second Madam’s tone suddenly turned cold, “Father, who is Jing Jing? You better explain it clearly to me.”
It seems like there will be someone staying in the guest rooms tonight.
