Chapter 269 Market Planning
Gu Yuchuan personally went to Ye City. As a place where humans and demons meet, Ye City has developed very differently now. You can see many humans everywhere, and there are even people doing business here. He found a local man and said that he was looking for some craftsmen to go to the territory of the demon race, but he could pay double.
No matter where you are, there are always people who are willing to risk danger for money. Many craftsmen are afraid to go to the territory of the demon race because they think it is a very dangerous thing. However, some craftsmen think it is an opportunity. Double wages are not something you can come across every day, so many craftsmen signed up.
These artisans were workers, all of whom had signed contracts. However, the market definitely needed people to work long-term, so he bought fifty clever slaves and branded them with magical powers. These would become the market's staff.
After he takes them back, the market can start construction. As for the blueprints, Gu Yuchuan had already had them drawn up.
This market is divided into three parts: the accommodation area, the stall area, and the shop area.
Let's start with the simplest stall area. Gu Yuchuan imitated the night market from his previous life, setting up partitions here for individual vendors. They can use the stalls by paying a small amount of rent, or they can pay monthly or yearly rates, with certain discounts available.
However, the quality of goods sold in this market area is not subject to the supervision and guarantee of the market. If you buy something wrong, you can only blame yourself for the bad luck. Any issues will be dealt with outside the market. Anyone who dares to cause trouble here will only face certain death.
The second area is the shop area, which is the core and most profitable part of the market. Gu Yuchuan used white jade marble to build it all for aesthetic purposes. White jade marble itself carries a faint spiritual energy. Although it is not as precious as spirit stones, ordinary cultivators simply cannot afford it. All the floors in this area are made of this white jade marble, and the cost is astronomical.
There are only thirty shops in this area. Apart from two restaurants, the rest are all shops selling things. Among them, Linlang Pavilion is the most luxurious. After all, it is Gu Yuchuan's own shop, so it is inevitable that it will be a bit special.
The Linglang Pavilion has also been renovated, using a lot of jade and even adding golden nanmu wood, which is a third-tier refining treasure and is extremely precious. The renovated Linglang Pavilion retains its original style but also appears more imposing.
The two buildings to his left and right are Linlang Danfang and Linlang Zhenfa Pavilion, respectively. They are easily recognizable as a chain store, and they are also Gu Yuchuan's directly operated stores in the market. Originally, he also wanted to open a restaurant, as a restaurant in this kind of market can be very profitable.
However, he couldn't find such talent in a short time, nor did he have any supply channels, so he simply gave up.
Once this area is developed, we can start attracting businesses. The minimum annual rent for a shop is 5,000 spirit stones. All of these add up to over 100,000 spirit stones a year. The speed at which money is made is truly remarkable.
The other shops also put a lot of effort into their renovations, but they only built a framework. After all, the shop owners will definitely want to renovate their own shops according to their own ideas later, so they don't need to renovate them completely at this time, as it would be troublesome to redo them later.
The last area is the accommodation area, which is divided into two parts. The first is a temporary inn, which is decorated in a magnificent style. Gu Yuchuan decorated it according to the style of the hotel in his previous life. The rooms include accommodation and washing facilities, and according to different levels, they also have the effect of gathering spiritual energy, making it the first choice for short-term accommodation.
Hotels are always a lucrative business, no matter where they are.
The second area is the long-term accommodation cave dwelling area. These cave dwellings are also divided into three levels: top-grade, medium-grade, and superior-grade. Their area and spiritual energy concentration are very different. This area is for long-term rental, and the price is definitely much cheaper than a hotel, but the environment is correspondingly worse. If you have money, you can also choose to stay in a hotel for a long time. If you want to book for a year, the price is definitely negotiable.
This is the simple layout of this market now. Though small, it has all the essential parts and is already a complete market.
He possessed a third-tier peak defensive formation called the Myriad Spirits Heavenly Water Formation, an extremely powerful defensive formation capable of withstanding even a Nascent Soul stage expert for a period of time. This time would be sufficient for the powerful figures of the demon race to discover that someone was causing trouble on their territory. Once the market was completed, he would set up this formation here.
As for the daily operations of this market, Gu Yuchuan plans to appoint Pei Yu as the captain of the guard team. As for the rest, he plans to start recruiting. He thinks that having two Foundation Establishment stage guard teams would be enough.
Of course, one must have high-level combat power. He himself did not want to be here, but there was no other way in the early stages. He planned to stay here for a while until someone in his family broke through to the Demon King realm, or a Golden Core cultivator came to join him. Then he would no longer have to stay here.
However, there's not much to do while overseeing the market. I just cultivate every day. It's just that the place is too crowded and has a strong worldly atmosphere. Even though the spiritual energy is plentiful, my cultivation speed is definitely slowed down to some extent.
This is Gu Yuchuan's current plan for the entire market. It's not actually that complicated. According to the current framework, it will probably take more than three months of construction time. Although this market is relatively small in scale among the markets, it actually occupies a very large area.
It not only occupies the entire message area, but also a significant portion of the land area on shore, so the construction will definitely take a long time.
After confirming these matters, Gu Yuchuan returned to the Flood Dragon Palace. As the interdimensional war drew closer, his anxiety grew. He knew that this interdimensional war was very dangerous, and that his current strength was insufficient to have much influence over it, which made him very anxious.
Therefore, he decided to simulate it again to see if he could find a way out. If all else failed, improving his cultivation by one level would be good, as it would increase his combat power to some extent. Or perhaps he could draw a good talent that could bring about some major changes to the current situation.
He glanced at the reeds, then returned to his secluded chamber. Now he was preparing to begin a new round of simulations, hoping to draw a better talent.
