Chapter 306 Settled
Unlike other defense zones, it is both complex and simple to gain a foothold in the Yangtze River Alliance.
The complex side is that there are various organizations of all sizes, including those who can get on the table and those who can't get on the table, and they are mostly nested and linked together.
The simplest side is that you don’t need to find anyone here. As long as you have enough force or wealth, someone will help you take root in it.
Wu Sheng’s small shop was simply named Wu Ji by him. This name is very easy to remember, but it is also easy to be confused by the past.
Wu Ji claimed that he could do any biological and mechanical system processing and transactions. However, only high-level commissions are accepted here. Wu Sheng marked the handling fee very high, and general materials are not worth processing and manufacturing here.
Moreover, Wu Sheng's small shop only opens for half a day at most, and he closes the door in the second half of the day. Hanjing is the largest trading city in China, and Wu Sheng can collect almost anything he needs here.
After collecting and purchasing some basic materials and equipment in the afternoon, Wu Sheng began to use his knowledge to process and manufacture them in the evening. At the same time, the simplified version of the universal parasitic core was not idle, and they continued to extend the underground area of Wu Sheng’s shop to a deeper level.
Early the next morning, a guest came to Wusheng's store.
"What a broken store? It's open in the morning and closes in the afternoon."
I saw a tall and fierce man outside the door, with two followers swaggeringly walking in.
"What do three people need to process?"
Wu Sheng said calmly.
"We don't do business, we...oh, brother, why are you hitting me?"
A tall and thin follower next to the man was brought by his leader before he could finish his words:
"We are here to do business. If you can't speak, don't open your mouth."
The leader glared at his subordinates, and the follower didn't dare to retaliate.
"How was the boss' business yesterday?"
The leader tried his best to show a kind smile on his face, but he obviously failed, which made his expression look a bit ridiculous.
"You must have seen it too. The shop has just opened and you are the first customer."
"real?"
"real."
"Let me see what you sell, no one else even comes to open the store."
As he said that, the leader picked up the price list that Wu Sheng placed on the counter and looked at it.
"I said your price is too exaggerated. The money you charge for some repairs by Lao Zhang's next door is less than one tenth of the money you charge."
"Here."
Wu Sheng pointed to him the annotation below the price list, which read:
This store only processes high-end items, and no low-end items will be accepted. Acceptance time is only limited to the morning, and the number of accepted items will be closed every day.
The leading guy looked at the price list and then looked at Wu Sheng:
"Your business method is wrong. Even if you have it, you must start from low to slowly get to the high-end. I tell you, you should..."
This guy talked a lot, but he was not talking nonsense, but he was indeed guiding Wu Sheng on the right path.
"What are you three here for?"
Wu Sheng interrupted him and asked directly before he could hear the leader's big talk.
"Of course I'm here to collect protection fees."
This time I talked to another follower, but this guy was also beaten by the leader.
"We are here to provide security protection services. As long as you pay us some service fees every week, our Changhe Bud will not only protect the safety of your store, but also attract customers for you. How about it, it's a good deal!"
The leading guy finally returned to his original vicious look.
Wu Sheng was not scared by this guy, but just asked lightly:
"How much does your security service cost?"
"We usually calculate based on the store size and the number of customer flow transactions."
The leading man looked at Wu Sheng’s small shop, and then looked at the price list placed on the counter:
"Forget it, I will accept you this time, but if your business gets better, the money will be increased, do you understand?"
Wu Sheng nodded and took out the money and handed it to him.
"This is our Changhe Gang brand. If you hang it outside, no one dares to cause trouble for you. If you lose it, you must go to our Changhe Gang office in the corner of the street to reissue it and report my name Yan Hu. However, no one dares to be unable to get along with our Changhe Gang."
The brand named Yan Huzhe is made of special metal material, with an ancient oracle bone carved on it. It seems that not all of their gangs are careless.
After getting the money, the three of them walked out of the store together. The two followers next to them were muttering something while walking, but they were scolded by Yan Hu again.
This kind of protection fee in the Yangtze River Alliance is a fee that all shops, no matter how big or small, have to pay. Here are mixed forces, and the dominant people in each area are actually different.
However, although the chaos is chaotic, the Yangtze River Alliance also has its own rules. Yan Hu and the other three actually collect taxes equivalent to other defense zones. As long as this fee is paid, Wu Sheng's store will be officially protected by Hanjing. Even the hostile forces of the Changhe Gang cannot destroy the place at will, and no one will charge repeated charges.
Those large forces will directly charge gangs of all sizes and will not infringe on the store.
The Yangtze River Alliance has its own set of clear default rules in the chaos, and any person who breaks the rules will be conquered by everyone. Therefore, this chaotic place is very popular with all kinds of businessmen. Without arousing the enemy, they are actually very safe here.
Yan Hu and his friends collected very little money, at best, only one or two meals. This money may change due to the different people, but generally there will be no deviation. Although the guy Wu Sheng met was fierce and evil, he actually received very little money and did not find fault and add money. Wu Sheng did not make any mistakes and did not break this conventional rule.
Another day passed, but no one visited Wu Sheng, a small shop with excessive processing prices. He himself didn't care. Whether this shop made money or not would have little impact on Wu Sheng.
In this way, Wu Sheng slowly settled in the northwest district of Hanjing.
He used the simplified parasitic core to create a channel that extends to the extreme deep underground position, and then began to unscrupulously expand a huge underground space around it.
Normal shops or residences will not and cannot use such deep underground areas. Wu Sheng opened up a large area of deep underground space around him based on the principle of not being wasted.
