Otherworld Management Manual

Zhang Feng always thought that the slave market was a place similar to a vegetable market, but unexpectedly, the slave market occupied half of the area of ​​More City, and half of More City was a slave market!

No wonder when you mention Moore City, you think of the city of slaves. Moore City is a big city, and its half area is far larger than Hongye City. Although it is not as big as Silverpine City, it is not much different. In the market, Zhang Feng can only say, amazing!

The two-story building Marlowe was pointing to was the reception of the slave market—one of them.

There are many such receptions on the periphery of the entire slave market, and each reception has soldier handles to prevent accidents for the slaves inside.

Not only the reception area, but also many soldiers were stationed in the slave market. There were even gossip that the security in the slave market was stricter than that of the City Lord's Mansion.

Zhang Feng felt that the credibility of this news should be quite high. After all, there are so many people in the slave market. There are not only countless slaves, but also businessmen from all over the country and even abroad. If the supervision is not stricter, a small problem will occur. It is likely to cause serious trouble.

The three of them came to the slave market reception and first registered their identities as merchants.

Because Zhang Feng asked his subordinates to register his identity as a merchant before, so now in Hongye City, Zhang Feng's identity is a merchant, and he can buy unlimited slaves.

If you don’t have the identity of a merchant, everyone can buy slaves, not just slaves, but also other things. Of course, if you are a noble or something, that’s another story.

As for the identity of the merchant, it is also very simple, all you need is a gold coin.

Although this method is very rough, Zhang Feng has to say that this method can bring a lot of income to More City, why is it so expensive?

Because this registration is not permanent! Register once, valid for one month!

Although a bit wicked, this method still made Zhang Feng's eyes shine. He even thought of several advanced plans, but he was not in a hurry, and he would talk about it later when he went back.

"Everyone, there is a slave market inside. Some of you may have been here several times, or even regular customers, but there are still newcomers. I have to explain some rules here."

At the reception, besides Zhang Feng and the others, there were several other people. A fat steward told Zhang Feng and the others about the rules in the slave market.

The rules are not complicated, nothing more than no fighting, no harm to the interests of the slave market, and so on.

After a few people confirmed that there was no problem, the reception staff led everyone to the back door, which was the slave market.

"Huh~"

Although there is only one wall separating them, the inside and outside of the slave market seem to be two completely different worlds.

If the outside is a relatively ordinary world, then the slave market is a dilapidated world.

Abandoned roads, houses with leaks on all sides, and even the sky seemed to be darker.

Although it was still snowing heavily, it still couldn't cover up the mud, feces, and even some unknown objects emitting an unpleasant smell on the road.

Feces and the like, in fact, Moore City also has them, but under the cover of heavy snow, they can't be seen at all, and there are many slaves in the slave market, and people come and go all the time, the snow here can't cover the road at all. Naturally, many things were exposed.

Zhang Feng took a deep breath, and carefully searched for a safe path.

"Hey, brother, is it your first time? You should have prepared in advance."

There were several other people who came in at the same time as Zhang Feng. One of the young male businessmen said.

He didn't wait for Zhang Feng to reply after he finished speaking, he ignored the "mines" all over the ground,

He strode away.

It was only then that Zhang Feng noticed that the other party sent a pair of high-heeled boots!

"This... is careless!"

Zhang Feng was a little speechless, he thought of Hongye City before, this place was even scarier than Hongye City.

But everything is coming, there is no way, the three of them can only move forward cautiously.

There are no slaves on the periphery. This is where soldiers are stationed. The further you go inside, the more people you will meet.

Finally, the three met the slave.

This is a house made of wood, about the size of a basketball court. Even Zhang Feng thinks it can't be called a house anymore. Not only is there air leakage on all sides, but even the roof is leaking. A large group of naked slaves are shivering inside. trembling.

There was a man in a thick cotton coat, who seemed to be in charge here. He was chatting with a group of merchants. After some bargaining, the merchants took out their money bags and took dozens of slaves away.

After sending the businessman away, the steward counted the money again, and then came to Zhang Feng's side in a hurry.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've neglected you all. Just look around, our slaves here are in good health and flexible in mind. The more you buy, the more money you make!"

There are only slaves sold in the slave market, and the other party didn't ask nonsense if they came to buy slaves.

Looking at the group of sick slaves, Zhang Feng was a little speechless, but he was still in good health and flexible in his mind. But after all, it's a business, and Zhang Feng didn't complain.

He said with some doubts:

"Aren't you afraid of freezing slaves to death in your environment?"

Zhang Feng pointed at the slave, feeling a little puzzled.

"Hey, this is your first time in the slave market!"

The steward's eyes lit up, the rookie's money is the best!

Although these slaves are not his own, he is just a laborer, but if he can get new customers, he can still get a commission!

"how?"

Zhang Feng was a little curious. Why did the other party immediately see that it was his first time here? Could there be something he didn't notice?

"Haha, only the newcomers care about whether the slaves will freeze to death. Don't get me wrong. It's not that we don't care about the slaves' lives, but it's basically difficult for these slaves to spend the second night here!"

Seeing the puzzled eyes of Zhang Feng and the others, the steward didn't give a shit, he said again:

"The slaves in our slave market have nothing to worry about. Like me, from the beginning of every morning to the end of the night, basically all the slaves can be sold. If they can't be sold, they will be transported to the most central slaves. Supervision center, centralized guarding, wait until the next day to sell."

Hearing the steward's explanation, Zhang Feng finally understood, good guy, selling slaves is really selling vegetables! Almost sold out within a day!

It was only then that Zhang Feng understood why the slave market was closed at night. They were processing slaves brought in from all over the country at night, and after processing, they would open for sale during the day.

If Zhang Feng's expectations are not bad, it should be that the further you go in, the higher the quality of the slaves inside.

After a few polite words with the manager, under his disappointed gaze, Zhang Feng left.

The slave market is divided into many areas, and each area has different stewards. These slaves belong to the city lord, and these stewards also work for the city lord. Zhang Feng does not know how the salaries of these stewards are set, but Based on the diligence of the manager just now, he knew that there must be incentives such as commissions.

There are more and more people on the road. Basically, these people are more or less followed by some slaves. Some people even need to hire soldiers to help maintain order because there are too many slaves.

Soldiers here can be hired, of course, you have to pay some compensation, and it is limited to slave escorts inside the city of Moore.

Seeing that Zhang Feng and the others did not bring any slaves, the stewards of these various areas rushed over enthusiastically.

When you come to the slave market, you must buy slaves. If you don't buy them now, you can only say that you don't like them. This is a potential customer.

It has been a long time since I saw such an enthusiastic businessman, and Zhang Feng felt like he was dreaming back to Haidilao.

After getting rid of the crowd, Zhang Feng came to a tavern.

The slave market is so big, there are naturally taverns, but the taverns here are very simple, just a little bit better than the place where the slaves stayed, at least they have a roof, and they can barely take a rest and drink dark beer.

At this time, there were quite a few people in the tavern. Zhang Feng ordered three glasses of dark beer, but didn't drink them. Compared with these dark beers, he was more interested in the chatting and spanking of these people.

For example, how much money so and so made a day, how many slaves so and so bought and so on.

Although I don't know if what they said is true or not, but at least it sounds decent.

Some people even talked about the privacy of some nobles, such as which viscount married another concubine, which baron gave his wife to another baron, and so on.

Zhang Feng was a little speechless, and said that your circle is really chaotic.

"Hey, did you know about an orc that appeared in the hallucination hall last night?"

Someone spoke in a low voice, but this simple tavern is so big that almost everyone can hear it clearly.

"Hey, you are so mysterious, I thought it was something, isn't it an orc? I personally participated in the auction last night."

Some people showed disdain, but they were also faintly proud.

These merchants are basically engaged in the slave trade. Moore City is like a slave wholesale market, where slaves are collected from all over the place and then sold to nobles, or they are slave merchants, the slave market earns the difference, of course , Moore City itself also captured slaves, such as the previous lion orcs.

These merchants sold these slaves to other places, and naturally made a difference. For example, some slaves in Hongye City were bought from Moore City. As long as the merchants are experienced and can control the loss, some of them can still make money. That's hard money.

As for when the slave finally reaches the customer, the price will naturally be much higher, and the customer will pay for the difference.

But in the final analysis, these businessmen are also small businesses, at least in Moore City, they basically seldom go to places full of temptations like the Ecstasy Hall, and they don't even stay in Moore City for a long time.

Otherwise, if one can't help it, the gold coins of a month's hard work may be sent to those women, and they will still be fragrant in those small brothels in other cities.

Those who can go to the maze hall can be regarded as big bosses among these miserable little businessmen.

That's why the businessman who opened his mouth was a little proud. Naturally, he got his wish and received a bunch of compliments, which can be regarded as fully satisfying his vanity, and the few gold coins he spent last night were not in vain.

"What are orcs?"

Some people have seen it, and naturally some people have not seen it, or even heard of it.

"Orc..."

Someone started to explain, and this explanation surprised those who had never heard of it. There is such a magical race in this world!

One hundred gold coins bought an orc. They didn't know if it was worth it, but it was really expensive. With these one hundred gold coins, how many slaves could they buy!

In addition to the price, everyone is very curious about the whereabouts of the lion orc. Some people say that the big boss in Moore bought it, while others say that nobles or big businessmen from outside bought it. Anyway, there are different opinions.

As for the boss they were talking about, he was in the same dilapidated tavern with them, listening to them chatting and bragging there.

"Actually, there is another orc in Moore City, you probably don't know about it?"

Someone spoke again.

When this man spoke, let alone those businessmen, even Zhang Feng's ears perked up.

Could it be that Niujiao Niang was discovered?

"True or false, and where? Where?"

"It's at the slave market!"

Zhang Feng frowned, so it should not be Niujiaoniang, but now Niujiaoniang is in the hotel.

"Cut, it's impossible. There is only the lion orc among the orcs, and there will be no other orcs!"

The businessman who said he was participating in the auction spoke up.

"Really, this is inside information. I have a relative who is a soldier on duty in More City. He told me personally!"

Seeing this man's confident appearance, everyone became interested, even the businessman who said he didn't believe it just now stopped talking.

"Let me tell you, in fact, before they caught this lion orc, they captured an orc, it seems to be a female orc, but I don't know what it is, I only know that the female orc and the lion orc are both He was imprisoned on Mount More!"

"Is it locked on Mount More? No wonder! I have also stayed in the city of More for a month. I said that the size of a lion orc is so obvious that I can't see it. I didn't expect that they were all locked on Mount More... "

Some people showed a look of sudden realization, while others did not change their expressions. There is a big prison on Mount More, and some people know about it.

"But I didn't see that female orc being auctioned off? Could it be that the city lord... hehehe!"

Some people have already used their imaginations.

"Bah, the orcs are so ugly, the city lord won't take a liking to them!"

Others expressed disdain.

"Don't interrupt, tell me about that female orc!"

"I heard, just heard, that female orc ran away!"

"Huh? Run away?"

"That's right, just two days ago, a lot of soldiers were dispatched, and my relatives also went, but I don't know what happened, and they were not caught. Maybe they felt ashamed. The City Lord's Mansion has never disclosed this matter to the public. Propaganda, most people don’t even know there’s a female orc!”

The businessman was eloquent, and he didn't know if what he said was true or not. Everyone listened with gusto anyway.

Zhang Feng showed a look of surprise. According to this person's words, if the guess is correct, the female orc he mentioned should be the Winged Man he met before.

Yiyiren can fly, if she flies into the sky, she really can't catch it.

But since he knew that the other party could fly, he would definitely take some precautionary measures. Based on Zhang Feng's brief understanding of the city lord of Moore who had never met before, Zhang Feng felt that the other party should not make such a mistake.

When I go back, I need to ask that Yiren, but I don’t know if she will say that Zhang Feng doesn’t want to cause trouble for no reason, even if he does, he must figure out the cause and effect, and then find a way to deal with it .

There was naturally another discussion about the escaped female orc. After listening for a while, Zhang Feng felt that it was useless to him, so he left with Marlowe and Abe.

Starting in the morning and returning in the afternoon, the three of Zhang Feng wandered around the slave market for a long time.

The operation mode of the slave market has been clarified, and there are things Zhang Feng can learn from, but there are also many things that Zhang Feng thinks are inappropriate.

On the whole, it is a great benefit.

At the same time, Zhang Feng also saw the terrifying gold-absorbing ability of the slave market.

Based on the average price and sales volume of these slaves, Zhang Feng roughly estimated that the daily gold coin turnover is definitely at the level of 100,000. Although I don't know how much the net profit is, it will not be much less.

After all, even if the 100,000 turnover is only one-tenth of the profit, then there are 10,000 gold coins, 10,000 a day, 300,000 a month! That's 3.6 million a year!

The last time Zhang Feng hunted for treasure underground in Hongye City, he only dug up three million gold coins.

What's more, Zhang Feng thinks that this one-tenth of the profit is not enough. If he operates it by himself, there will be at least three layers of pure profit. The other party is more proficient than himself, and the profit may be higher!

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Feng instantly felt that he was still a poor man.

He is only worth a million gold coins, so he has to work hard!

Since it is winter, it gets dark earlier.

Before five o'clock, Zhang Feng went back to the hotel. If there was no banquet invited by the city lord, he should have gone to Morgan's Tavern at night, but since the city lord invited him, Zhang Feng naturally had to show face.

"I want to take you to a dinner party, can I?"

Zhang Feng watched the lion orc speak.

"Can."

Since Niujiaoniang agreed to Zhang Feng and signed a contract with Zhang Feng, he would naturally abide by the promise before Zhang Feng found the crystal mine. He knew that Zhang Feng wanted to protect him, so it didn't matter. For dinner, dinner, it should be delicious!

After Zhang Feng left, Niujiaoniang had already told the Lion Beastmen about the rules of Moore City. He was bought by Zhang Feng, and he already belonged to Zhang Feng. No matter what grievances and grievances he had with Moore City before, he was now written off. , don’t have to worry about being besieged by knights or something.

But then again, if he meets them again, Felix will not hesitate, just run away if he can't beat him. If he hadn't been tricked by them before, he wouldn't have been caught.

The lion orc promised that Zhang Feng had expected it, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"No matter what your purpose is, I will give you a surprise first!"

The lion orc man woke up and obeyed Zhang Feng's orders!

For the city lord of More City, he didn't know whether it was a surprise or a fright.

At the same time, the City Lord's Mansion in Moore City.

In the main hall of the city lord, on the high seat, a woman with a beautiful appearance and a glamorous temperament murmured to herself:

"My city lord's mansion, and even me, have been belittled to nothing. I am going to give you a surprise. I want to see. Do you dare to say that in front of me? I hope this surprise does not scare you. cluck!"

After finishing speaking, the city lord seemed to have thought of something happy, and showed a bright smile, like a hundred flowers blooming. Unfortunately, there was no one else in the hall except the city lord, and no one could appreciate this beautiful scene.

"Report, Mayor Ferre, please see me!"

The soldiers outside the door suddenly shouted.

"Let him in."

The city lord came back to her senses, she calmed down, her tone was cold, and she instantly returned to the identity of the iron-faced city lord.

After a while, an old man in his sixties walked in.

"Report to the City Lord, the current expansion plan of the castle has been revised and completed. When do you think the construction will start?"

"Expansion?"

The city lord was taken aback for a moment, and then he thought of something, and his eyes were faintly angry.

"It will not be built, and all expansion plans will be cancelled! Don't mention it in the future!"

"Ah? This... yes!"
