Chapter 125 Buying a House
Seeing that Jiayi and the others agreed to their suggestions, the president invited the eldest brother who came to the front desk to entertain Jiayi and the others.
He said, "Take Master Jiayi and the others to the residence left by Master Feibu and the others to see which one they like, and rent it to them when they come back."
After saying that, he said goodbye and left. As the president of a large chamber of commerce, he did not need to deal with such small matters of house rental in person. It would be enough to show off and pay attention to it.
"What's the name?" When the president left, Jiayi asked the eldest brother.
"My name is Hailey, and I am also a student of the college, but I am from the apprenticeship department. Please come with me. It is relatively far away and we need to walk a while to get there." Hailey led them to the outskirts of the college.
The area where the college is located can be said to be a small town, not big, but if it is just a college, it would be quite large, not much smaller than ordinary university campuses. However, there are not many real students in it, and even if there are apprentice students, there are only a few hundred. However, with the number of listeners, the number is much larger, with more than a thousand. Moreover, the buildings here do not have high-rises, and the distance between buildings is relatively large, so the area is increased.
With Jiayi's eyes, there are only about a few thousand people here, and all the foreign population must be added, such as business businesses, guards, servants, etc.
However, the proportion of mages here is too large, and the consumption of mages is even greater. Therefore, although there are mage apprentices here, there are only a thousand mages in total, and the total consumption is already more than that of the imperial capital with hundreds of thousands of people. Therefore, the business here is so prosperous, and there will be so many merchants coming. The merchants come and promote economic prosperity, and in the end it cannot accommodate them, which gave birth to the downstream Beishui City.
The location of the house was even further than Jiayi thought. After walking for more than 20 minutes, they arrived at the place where the house was. The house was already outside the college town. On a relatively flat hilltop, there were houses of various sizes, some on the top of the mountain, some on the hillside, and all on the hillside were covered with turf. There were not a few trees. The turf was obviously planted manually, showing a soft green green.
"Are all of them from your chamber of commerce?" Jiayi looked at the villa area in front of him, which looked like a Hobbit residence, but he just didn't live underground. He had the urge to buy a piece of land and build a house by himself. This place was so beautiful.
Hailey shook her head and said, "Of course not. Only this area here belongs to our chamber of commerce."
She said, pointing at the seven or eight houses on the two hills next to her.
"There are three empty houses here. No one has moved in after the original wizard left. You can choose among these three houses. There are also wizards living in the rest of the houses, but they are usually rarely coming here."
Jia looked at it and asked, "But there are only three houses, which is not enough to divide. There are six of us."
"I'll forget it." Yanxi said first, "I want to live in the school, and my elders at home asked me to live in the school."
"Ah! Why?" Chester asked curiously.
"Who knows, I said before leaving that I wanted to live in the school." Yanxi said helplessly.
Kaichi was also a little scared, wondering if Orlando would have any requirements for whether he would live in the school.
He turned to ask the rest of the people: "What about you?"
Before the rest of the people answered, Chester asked first: "How much does this house cost?"
Hailey said: "It's probably less than a thousand gold. If you use magic stones, it should be cheaper. But of course you can't get that much money if you rent them, and it's about 5 or 60 gold a year."
"Hiss~ so expensive." Jade gasped and said, "I want to live outside, but I don't have money."
"Can Queenie say she's on credit? And 50 yuan a year shouldn't be much. We have discounts, don't you have any money?"
"Forget it, I still have a few hundred dollars, but I still have to pay the tuition. And when doing magic experiments in the future, I should forget it. It's better to save some money." Jade refused.
"As a mage, there will be no problem selling copy scrolls, right? Is there any money left?" said Maggie.
"That, actually, the scrolls are not easy to sell here." Hailey said weakly. "There are too many mages here, so there are a lot of scroll props. Many students also use their spare time to make them. In addition, the auditors who have been here for many years, so unless your scrolls and magic paths are unique, you won't make much money. If the failure rate is too high, it is not impossible to lose money."
When everyone heard Hailey say this, the rest of the people sighed. Lian Jiayi was also a little worried. Although he made a lot of money through the Valoca Chamber of Commerce, his ability to do it may not be better than that of other mages who have been immersed in for a long time. If he made magic props to sell, he might not be able to compare with others. The most important thing is that the Valoca Chamber of Commerce this year built blast furnaces and water trucks, plus road construction, spent a lot of money, and without dividends, he might be more nervous until next spring.
Chester said: "Then I won't buy it anymore, let's live in the school."
"I want to buy one, although I also want to live in the school, I can live on both sides." Maduo whispered, not synchronizing with everyone.
This is the legendary local style. Jia was a little moved when he heard this. Although the money was not much, he still had hundreds of dollars. There were also clocks and bicycle authorization fees. Although it was not much, it was a long way to go.
However, a group of people came to buy a house excitedly, but now they can’t afford it. There is no one else who wants to live on campus. They estimate their financial level too optimistically.
Jiayi thought about it and asked, "Do you have any shops to rent and sell? Why don't we rent a shop to sell our own things? It's also easy to subsidize ourselves. It seems that making money here is much more difficult than outside, and there are too many mages."
The second half of his sentence was for the rest of the people, and the first half was for Hailey. When he thought that in addition to making money, the shop could also show off his new ideas and test the market reaction.
Hailey said: "The shop has no ready-made ones for the time being, but you have gold badges. If you really need them, we can give you a complete room."
Jiayi asked the rest of the people: "What do you think? It doesn't take a good location, and we don't have much time to manage after entering school, so it doesn't matter if we have a little bit of aversion and less abortion. Just hire a store manager."
"Then what do we sell? Others may not buy ordinary things, especially our place is relatively biased." Yanxi asked.
Jiayi said: "You can sell sonar detectors. This has only been released for a while. Moreover, my patent is the original version, which is not as effective as the current version. This should be considered unique. Add a clock, mark the exit mark, and some ordinary magic scrolls and props. Just have a few characteristics."
"Yes, these were all invented by Jiayi. If the rest of them want to sell, they have to pay Jiayi's authorization fee. We saved this layer and put it on first. The effect will definitely be good. But if you bring us Jiayi, you will suffer a loss." Mackey said.
"What's the matter? I can't open a shop alone. Could it be that I only sell this one?"
"Well, what is the sonar detector?" Yanxi asked weakly. He encountered it on the road and didn't know about Jiayi's new invention.
"I'll tell you then that the new thing that Jiayi invented is very useful in the wild."
After discussing, everyone thought that this method could be tried. Everyone worked together, but in fact, they couldn't pay much money alone. Moreover, they could try it for a year first. If it doesn't work, they would split up and study hard. They put forward their own needs through Hailey. The Scott Chamber of Commerce didn't say anything, rented them two villas, and found them a smaller shop in the northeast corner of the town.
Originally, Hailey thought she wanted some shop and was planning to free up one on the busiest street to rent it to Jiayi and the others. They held the golden badge given by Queenie, which was worth treating like this. Unexpectedly, they only needed a remote shop, which saved a lot of trouble.
The reason why there are two houses is that Jiayi finally decided to rent a villa to live in. To be honest, he has never lived in such a good house in his two lives. He didn’t even have a house in his previous life. His family was just a bakery owner in this life. When he arrived in Linsong Valley, he even built the house with his teacher, which was even worse.
