Chapter 347: Broker Office
Upon hearing the old patrons words, the audience of seasoned enthusiasts showed a meaningful smile.
However, there were still some serious people among them: Wait a minute, somethings wrong. I have a friend who works in the Demon Slaying Department, and I know more about the corpse and ghost disasters in Shuliang City.
The Ghost King was a third-level divine martial artist when he was alive. How could a literature saint make a difference in such a corpse demon disaster?
Except for the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower, the image of Literature Saints as useless in the face of a corpse demon disaster has already become deeply ingrained.
In the face of a corpse demon disaster, it has always been customary to solve it by force, and this mindset is deeply ingrained in everyone.
The storyteller with two moustaches shook his head and said, This shows your ignorance. Several decades ago, there was a corpse demon disaster in the northern region that caused great losses to the Great Qian.
The terrifying aspect of the corpse demons is their immortality. They can continuously regenerate because of Death Qi, and only Literature Saints can set up formations to isolate Death Qi.
In the battle of Shuliang City, it was that young master from the Qin family who set up such a formation, allowing Lord Spear Immortal to find an opportunity and kill the Ghost King with a single shot!
In addition, that young master of the Qin family cultivated Thunderous Righteous Qi. The formation carried Righteous Qi, sweeping across the entire city and killing countless corpse demons.
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng frowned. The narrators knowledge about the corpse demon disaster and the formation in Shuliang City was acceptable. After all, someone will always spread the news about something as big as this.
However, how did he know that he cultivated Thunderous Righteous Qi?
Looking up at the narrator, he carefully observed his pointy nose, monkey-like cheeks, two moustaches, and somewhat disreputable appearance.
Qin Feng used his Three Thousand Qi Observation Technique to look over, but all he could see was a vague white figure.
Whats going on? Could it be that theres a problem with the Three Thousand Qi Observation Technique?
He turned his head to look elsewhere, and the Qi on the other people was clearly visible, indicating that the divination technique had not malfunctioned.
But why could he only see a blurry white figure on the storyteller on the stage?
The man on stage, who was well-versed in the essence of storytelling, interacted with the audience and asked, Why dont you guess how many corpse demons the young master of the Qin family eliminated back then?
Some people guessed hundreds, some people guessed thousands, and some bold people guessed a few thousand.
At this moment, the sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked storyteller turned to Qin Feng and asked, Young master, why dont you give it a try?
Interrupted in his thoughts, Qin Feng felt the crowds gaze, cleared his throat, and replied, The corpse demon disaster in Shuliang City was quite large. The number of corpse demons causing trouble in the city is definitely numerous, probably in the tens of thousands, right?
Lan Ningshuang obviously didnt expect her brother-in-law to be so shameless, and she showed a strange expression.
The narrator was obviously stunned by this answer, but after a moment, he laughed and said, Very close, very close!
In the tens of thousands?
That many?
Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
The man on the stage put his hand down and said, News can be true or false. Its nothing unusual. Dont believe it completely; just take it as a joke.
Oops, before you know it, my time is up. My mouth is really too dry to talk any more. Ill take my leave first.
As he finished speaking, he clenched his fists, jumped into the backstage of the restaurant, and left in a free and easy manner.
He really is a strange person. Qin Feng shook his head, but heard Lan Ningshuang whispering next to him.
Brother-in-law, look.
Qin Feng looked down and saw that the wine stains on the table turned into a row of small words The villains are hateful, and the gentleman is hard to guard against.
The two of them stayed at the table, eating and listening to the news, and they never saw anyone approach.
When was this message left?
Qin Feng looked in the direction the storyteller had gone, deep in thought, still silently reciting the words on the table in his mind.
The waters of the Imperial City were indeed quite deep; the encounter with a few people made it difficult for Qin Feng to understand.
Just like the old man leaning on a cane when he left home in the morning.
And in the restaurant just now, the storyteller with a sharp mouth and monkey-like cheeks.
The capital is full of tricks, I want to go back to the countryside. Qin Feng sighed inwardly.
Brother-in-law, where shall we go next?
Lets go to the broker to see if theres a suitable restaurant for us to take over.
The broker is like a middleman where all kinds of transactions take place. As long as the buying and selling parties agree, they can exchange money and goods simultaneously.
The only disadvantage is being exploited by the greedy middlemen!
Qin Feng didnt want to let the capitalists have their way, but since he was new to the Imperial City and didnt know the surroundings, going to the broker was the quickest way to find a suitable restaurant.
There were countless brokers in Imperial City, and the two quickly found one that looked decent.
Upon entering, someone approached them to help them.
Speaking the appropriate language for each person, whether human or ghost, is crucial in the brokerage business; the most important thing is to develop a discerning eye.
After all, the amount of commission one can earn depends entirely on the size of the transactions between the buying and selling parties.
The man who received them had been in the business for many years and was, of course, an experienced hand.
With just one glance, he could tell that Qin Feng was not ordinary. His appearance was impressive, and even though he was dressed in simple black clothes, they were not made of ordinary materials.
The headband tied around his head emitted a light, flowing sheen, probably a valuable item.
Coupled with the jade Demon Slaying token at his waist and the beautiful sword attendant at his side, the man in charge already had a preliminary conclusion in his mind the other party was from a wealthy family, probably a minor official, but probably new to the area.
If it was a local jade demon-slaying expert, he wouldnt come to an broker; he would have his own connections.
Since he was from out of town, the man concluded that he was a lucrative customer, and with a warm smile, he asked, Young sir, what information are you looking for, or what items do you want to buy at the brokerage?
I want to find a well-located place to open a restaurant and do some business. Qin Feng replied, glancing around the brokerage office.
Realizing that he had a potential customer with deep pockets, the mans eyes lit up and he immediately began to introduce himself, What perfect timing, sir! Just a few days ago, someone wanted to leave Imperial City and start over somewhere else. Theres a shop they want to transfer ownership of for sale.
The location of this shop is exceptional, located on Tianhui Street, which makes it easily accessible from all directions.
There is an endless stream of people coming and going every day, and officials and demon slayers often pass by.
If the young master were to purchase this shop and turn it into a restaurant, business would undoubtedly thrive every day.
Sounds promising, Qin Feng raised an eyebrow.
Its definitely a good deal. Besides, the owner of this shop is eager to leave and wants to sell it quickly, so the price has been significantly reduced.
If you were to buy it at the original price, it would cost at least one hundred thousand taels of silver. But right now, its been reduced by almost half, and you can get it for only sixty thousand taels of silver.
If the young master is interested, I can contact the owner of the shop. But according to our brokerage rules, if both parties want to meet, you have to pay ten percent of the commission up front.
Whether the deal is successful or not, this commission will not be refunded. Its to prevent you from bypassing the broker shop and negotiating directly. What do you think, young master?
Qin Feng lowered his head in thought. Acquiring a shop in a prime location in Imperial City for sixty thousand taels of silver was within an acceptable range.
However, the idea of paying the commission upfront was something new to him, and he felt there might be something fishy about it.
Young master, dont hesitate! Opportunities like this are rare. If you miss this, you wont find another shop like this one, the man urged.
While Qin Feng was still thinking, a familiar crisp voice sounded behind him: If its so sought after, sell it to someone else. We dont want this shop.
The man, anxious, turned back and said angrily, Which one of you is so ungrateful as to break the rules of the broker office!
