Chapter 178 Business
The little fat boy, Long Xin Qianduo, did not come to Mo Shuang Mountain alone.
He brought with him a group of guards, mainly the hunter Wusun. These were warriors from his mother's lineage in the tribe, and they were naturally loyal to the little fat man.
In addition to these agile Southern Wilderness warriors, a great witch from the tribe also came with him.
It is said that the great witch came from the same tribe as Qianduo's mother, so naturally they were closer.
However, the methods of cultivation used by these wizards are somewhat different from those of human cultivators. The wizards in the Southern Wilderness practice nature worship.
The main purpose is to learn to imitate the ability of spirits to communicate with heaven and earth and to obtain ancient power from nature.
It's hard to say how powerful it is.
But it's definitely weird and mysterious enough.
According to Sanquezi Matishu, the wizards are most famous for their witchcraft, and the one that monks fear the most is sorcery. It is said that if one reaches a high level, one can use evil objects such as straw men to nail a monk's soul to death from a distance of thousands of miles.
The Wuhe Great Wizard who escorted the little fat man to Mo Shuang Mountain was definitely not that powerful. However, the old man who couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman could chat and laugh with Wang Liufu and San Quezi, so he must be a cultivator in the realm of truth.
In Qianduo's tribe, there are seven such great witches, and the leader one is said to be more .
So overall, the fat guy still has some background.
"Wusun and the others have been accepted into the outer sect by Elder Wang. They are training with me and will be my direct descendants in the future. Grandpa Wuhe told me last night that you were the one who helped behind this.
He told me to thank you very much.”
The little fat boy was obviously a simple guy. Facing Jiang Xia's question, he was a little restless. He held the teacup obediently and said to Jiang Xia:
“Grandpa Wuhe also said that I was able to enter the inner gate smoothly thanks to you. Although you had some calculations in the process, in the end I got the advantage.
So he also reminded me that you are someone I can trust in Mo Shuang Mountain, and asked me to try my best to meet your requirements in this business between us.
But I don’t know yet, what do you want?”
Qian Duo raised his head somewhat helplessly and said to Jiang Xia:
"All my magic weapons were broken by Senior Sister Ruyue. Even Ah Fu was injured. It will take a long time for him to recover. I don't have anything to give you.
So, Brother Jiang, please don't ask for too much, or I'll owe it to you first, okay?"
"No rules, call me senior brother."
Old Jiang curled his lips, corrected the little fat man's address, then flicked the ash from his cigarette and said to the uneasy little fat man with a joking tone:
"Look at me, do you think I'm someone who's short of magical instruments or immortal money? Do you think I gave you such a big benefit just for the magical instruments and money you have?
Qianduo, Qianduo, you are a blessed person with a healthy destiny, so don't be so petty. "
Hearing this, the little fat boy suddenly became discouraged.
Indeed, in Lao Jiang’s brief “performance” yesterday, he had three magic weapons on him at the first move, and he threw those weird, exploding spirit-attached magic weapons out as if they were free.
You can tell at first glance that he is a man with plenty of money.
But this also made him more panicked.
Although the little fat boy is a little cowardly and naive, he is definitely not stupid. If Jiang Xia doesn't want these external things, it means.
What Jiang Xia wants may be some more terrifying reward.
He was born in the Southern Wilderness and had seen many strange, bloody and cruel witchcraft ceremonies since childhood. At this moment, his mind was like a restricted horror movie, with all kinds of horrific and bizarre scenes constantly popping up.
I scared myself so much that I was trembling with fear.
"Hey! Seriously, I'm talking to you."
Old Jiang took a sip of tea and glanced at the fat boy whose face had turned pale. He really doubted whether he should smile more, as he was obviously talking in a nice way.
Why did you scare the child like this?
"Look up and look me in the eyes."
Jiang Xia said helplessly, causing the little fat boy to look up. Then he said:
"Don't be afraid. I don't want your life, nor do I want you to make any sacrifices. What I want is very simple, and you can definitely afford it. I want...
You work for me.
Sign an employee contract. As for the duration, since you are a monk and can live a long time, I will extend it a little bit. Twenty-five years, is that okay?"
"You want me to be your slave?"
The little fat man immediately shook his head frantically and said:
"I don't want this job! Find another one!"
"you……"
Jiang Xia was speechless. It was so difficult to communicate with this guy.
He took out a thin booklet from his ring and threw it to the fat boy. The latter took it and found a line of large characters on the cover of the booklet.
"Kunlunfang Employee Code of Conduct"
The little fat man opened the booklet and glanced through it quickly. His face, which was full of fear, calmed down at a speed visible to the naked eye.
These employee terms are a bit more stringent.
But it was definitely not the slave contract he had imagined. It was equivalent to working for Jiang Xia for twenty-five years, abiding by the rules on a daily basis, and even receiving monthly compensation.
You can also exchange some things for mortals in the contribution list of Kunlun Square.
Emmmmm.
like……
It's not unacceptable, right?
But the little fat boy is still a little smart.
He held the booklet in his hand, secretly looked at Jiang Xia's expression, and asked in a low voice:
"Um... that Senior Sister Ruyue, is she also your employee?"
"Why? Are you attracted to my Ruyue?"
Lao Jiang laughed and asked with a blink of his eyes.
The little fat boy shook his head frantically again. He remembered how Ruyue had beaten him yesterday. He immediately shrank his neck and said in a soft voice:
"I dare not. She is too fierce, and too thin. Her butt is okay, but her breasts are a little small, not plump at all. In our tribe, she is not considered a beauty."
"Boss, help me beat him up! I'll pay."
Ruyue's faint voice suddenly rang in Jiang Xia's mind, causing Old Jiang to laugh again.
"But if it's an employee contract like that big sister's, then I'm willing to sign it."
Qian Duo didn't know why Lao Jiang was laughing, but he quickly gave an answer, which was then sneered at by Lao Jiang.
He tapped the table and said:
"You're wishful thinking. Ruyue is a senior talent, and her contract is definitely different from yours. After all, you also have to consider the issue of trust.
Let's do this.
We will sign an ordinary employee contract with you, and add an additional condition: if you are not promoted to a senior employee within 25 years, it means that you are not doing your job seriously.
The contract was extended for another twenty-five years.
This isn’t too harsh, is it? "
Faced with Lao Jiang’s second request, the fat boy looked conflicted.
But after thinking for several breaths, he nodded. Taking a step back, he could exchange twenty-five years of working for a position as an inner sect disciple of Mo Shuang Mountain.
To be honest, it’s really not harsh.
"Very good, go find Jasmine later and sign an employee contract. From now on, the benefits will be based on Kunlun Square's standards. From now on, you have to call me boss."
Old Jiang nodded with satisfaction and said to the little fat man:
"Your first job is to help Shi Rui complete the production of that set of high-level magic tools within six months. This will also allow you to practice your skills.
The weapon-refining techniques of my school are somewhat different from the traditional ones of Mo Shuang Mountain. You have to learn from the beginning.
This assessment was conducted by Jasmine, an employee whom I trust deeply.
If after six months she reports that you are doing poorly, then you are not working hard, and I don’t need to tell you what will happen.”
"no problem!"
The little fat man immediately looked solemn, and he patted his chest and said:
"I came to Mo Shuang Mountain to learn skills. I will study hard even without Brother Jiang, er, the boss reminding me."
"Very good, then on to job number two."
Jiang Xia said to Qian Duo without any hesitation:
“I’m in the Fengming Kingdom of the mortal world. There’s a Chamber of Commerce there. They’ve been reorganizing their internal affairs recently. Once the integration of resources is completed, they will start expanding their trade routes.
The Southern Wilds is a huge, untapped market.
I will not ignore it, so my Kunlun Square also needs your help when expanding its trade routes to the Southern Wilderness... Don't worry, I know you don't understand these.
You don't need to understand.
After you go back, have a good talk about this with your Wuhe Great Witch.
I don't need your tribe to give me the most favorable trade rights. I only ask that my Chamber of Commerce conduct business within the sphere of influence of your tribe and will not be attacked, hostile, or disturbed.
Additionally, I request exclusive trading rights with your tribe.
You don’t understand this word, right?”
The fat boy nodded.
He really didn't know much about business, so Lao Jiang patiently explained to him:
“To put it simply, only Kunlun Square is allowed to do business with your Longxin tribe. If we find that other chambers of commerce from the East have entered your territory, we don’t need to take action.
The warriors and hunters of your tribe must take the initiative to drive them away!
As for how to persuade your chief to accept my slightly excessive request, that is a matter between you and your grandfather Wuhe.
I don't care.
I just want results!
Is that okay?
The little fat man pursed his lips and replied to Lao Jiang very cautiously:
"I can't give you an immediate answer, boss. I don't understand these things. I have to go back and talk to Grandpa Wuhe. If he says it's possible, I'm willing to help with all my strength."
"Well, that's the challenge of your job."
Old Jiang showed a very gentle smile, and he kindly flicked out a cigarette and put it in front of the little fat man.
Whisper:
"How to convince your Grandpa Wuhe to help me with all his strength is the most difficult part of this job, and it is also an important part of demonstrating your work ability.
Don't worry, Qianduo.
I am a very generous boss and I never hesitate to reward capable employees.
I won't let you do this in vain.
I will even pay you in advance for 25 years of work... Tell me, what kind of magical power do you want now?"
"Magic power?"
The fat boy's eyes suddenly widened.
Most of the big tribes in the Southern Wilderness have some connection with Yandang Pond, the holy land of spirits. He has been influenced by it since he was a child and is not unfamiliar with such things as magical powers.
He was a little surprised to hear what Lao Jiang said.
Some still don't believe it.
How rare are supernatural powers?
The boss in front of him was just like him, a small cultivator in the Qi training stage, but he could speak without any hesitation. It felt like he was a big liar.
However, seeing Lao Jiang's confident expression, Qian Duo's thoughts started to work quickly.
For things like this, it's better to believe them a little. If they are true, wouldn't you make a lot of money?
So after a few breaths, the little fat man looked around and whispered:
"Afu is seriously injured. I want to get him a magical power to heal quickly. Boss, do you have one?"
"Shua"
Jiang Xia waved his right hand lightly on the table, and three bags of precious medicine ash appeared in front of the two people. Old Jiang smoked a cigarette and said slowly:
"From left to right, they are the mortal realm healing magical power, the Qi training realm healing magical power, and the Qi training realm bone strengthening and healing magical power of the highest grade."
The little fat man felt the spiritual energy in the bag in front of him. He was excited and reached out to take the best one to give to his soul buddy.
But the hand he stretched out was pressed on the table by Lao Jiang.
Qian Duo raised his head and saw Old Jiang staring at him. Boss Jiang put out his cigarette in the jade ashtray and said in a serious tone as the sparks flickered:
"You get the best pay, so you have to do your best, understand?"
The fat boy gritted his teeth.
He grabbed the best precious medicine of ash, held it in his arms, and said to Jiang Xia in a deep voice:
"Understand!"
"Very good, my new employee, go get to work."
Old Jiang watched the fat boy leave his yard quickly with the ashes in his arms, like a thief. He looked at Qian Duo's chubby back and said in the chip communication:
"Moli, prepare an employee contract for Long Xin Qianduo. Don't give him the chip yet. Wait until the probation period is over."
"Boss! Why did you assign me to help that annoying guy Shi Rui?"
Jasmine's response was fierce.
The wasteland girl screamed:
"He's like a pervert, always wanting to remove my left hand prosthesis. I don't like him!"
"Uh... there's this thing?"
Jiang Xia was suddenly a little embarrassed, and he comforted her:
"Don't we have spare ones? Just give him one and let him tear it down as much as he wants. Besides, this is work! No bargaining, understand?"
"Understand."
Jasmine's answer was a bit helpless, but she then said:
" Can I beat that annoying guy when he comes to bother me?"
"Whatever, as long as you can beat him."
"Great! Boss, you're the best. I'll prepare the contract right away."
