Zhang Mian had a look of surprise on his face, as if he had never expected that he was related to this young guest.
He couldn't help but look at Su Chen a few more times. Before, he only thought that this young man was the junior of Lang Lao Wei. Although his attitude was polite, he didn't really take it to heart. But now it seems that he is not as simple as an ordinary junior.
His attitude also became different from before, saying: "Master Su Chen, you are kind to me. From today on, you will be a guest of our Zhang family."
After that, he added: "You have just arrived, so you must have a lot of things to buy. If you need anything, just ask me and consider it as my reward."
Su Chen smiled lightly, waved his hand, and said: "Master Mian's poison has not been completely resolved, so how can we get paid at this time?"
After hearing this, Zhang Wei hurriedly patted his chest and said, "I can! I can! Don't worry, leave it all to me. Just go to the market and buy all the ingredients, and I can prepare a radical antidote."
Zhang Wei was in the Zhang family. Although he had the title of young master, he had no power at all because he was a slave and could not even command any servants.
Zhang Mian then called his men and asked them to go to the elixir market in the inner city to buy them according to the list written by Zhang Wei.
"Mr. Su, our Zhang family never accepts favors from others but does not repay them in return."
After Zhang Mian and his men left, he said to Su Chen.
Su Chen thought for a while and said, "In that case, I will boldly make a request."
"Young Master Su, feel free to ask, as long as I can do it, I won't hesitate."
Zhang Mian smiled.
"I want to establish a foothold here and open an elixir store. I wonder if your family can provide a relatively good store? I can pay the store rent according to the market price."
Su Chen said, he knew that in a place like this where there are many families, all good shops must be divided up by the families and cannot be left on the market for anyone to rent. If the Zhang family has a shop this time, they are willing to rent it to them at the market price.
Speaking to myself, that would be a great favor.
"Open an elixir shop?"
Zhang Mian was slightly surprised when he heard this, and then his expression returned to normal and said, "The store is not a problem. Our Zhang family has a rich industry and provides a good store, so there is no problem. However, the competition in the inner city elixir industry is very fierce.
The larger elixir shops are basically monopolized by the Jinying family. Almost all the second-level elixir shops are supported by major first-class families. In the inner city, the profits of the elixir industry are already very small."
It's not that Zhang Mian doesn't want to support it, but the competition in the alchemy world in the inner city is indeed very fierce. There are no one knows how many alchemy saints there are in the entire inner city.
Behind every Alchemy Sage, there is a powerful force behind them. Some powerful forces even support a large number of Alchemy Sages.
These family forces based on the elixir industry are the giants in the elixir industry in the inner city, and they eat up most of the profits in the elixir industry.
And the rest is just a share of the pie.
Generally speaking, outsiders like Su Chen don't get even a share of the pie.
Although Su Chen had just arrived and had not gone out much, he had no doubts about Wang Mian's statement.
It's the same everywhere. Industries with huge profits like the elixir industry are always monopolized by those giants.
The inner city is huge, there are so many warriors, the consumption of elixirs is astronomical, and the profits there are also staggering.
But astonishing as it is, it doesn’t mean that anyone can rush in and make a fortune.
For ordinary outsiders, if they rush in rashly, even if the pill giants don't come to suppress them, it will be extremely difficult for them to survive in the cracks, let alone stand out in the cracks.
There are so many elixir shops, and the others are endorsed by big forces, and the quality of the elixirs is guaranteed. Why should I go to your newly opened small shop to buy elixirs?
"Mr. Mian, I already have some preliminary ideas on how the store can survive and develop. I don't want to be the biggest or the strongest, as long as it can gain a foothold."
Su Chen didn't want to explain too much to the other party, so he just said.
Seeing Su Chen like this, Zhang Mian could only nod his head and said with a smile: "No problem, I'll ask the housekeeper if there are any other open shops, and I'll get back to you right away."
"Then I'll trouble Mr. Mian."
Su Chen stood up, raised his fist at Zhang Mian, and prepared to leave.
Zhang Mian smiled and said, "I happen to have something to go out for, so I'll go with you."
Zhang Wei also followed, and the three of them left Zhang Mian's yard together. Su Chen and Zhang Wei went back to their respective residences, while Zhang Mian went in the other direction.
As I walked onto the avenue, I saw a group of people walking towards me.
Among this group of people, a middle-aged man and a young man were surrounded like stars, and there was an alchemist wearing an alchemy robe beside them.
When Zhang Mian saw this group of people, he paused and Zhang Wei also stopped.
When the middle-aged and young people saw Zhang Mian, they were slightly startled, as if they did not expect to see Zhang Mian here.
However, this moment of confusion was quickly covered up, and then the middle-aged man came up with a smile on his face: "Mian'er, you didn't say anything when you came back. Well, Xiao Eleven is here too.
.”
"Third uncle."
Zhang Mian smiled and said, "I came back a few days ago, but I didn't have time to visit my third uncle."
"Cousin, I heard that you were injured on the way back. As a brother, I am very concerned about you. It seems that you are fine, so I am relieved."
The young man next to the middle-aged man also walked up and spoke, but his eyes kept looking at Zhang Mian, as if he had to look back and forth dozens of times.
"Brother Bai, I'm fine, I'm worrying you all."
Zhang Mian still said politely.
After another round of greetings, Zhang Mian took his leave: "Third uncle, Brother Bai, I have to go out for a while, so I'll excuse you."
With that said, Zhang Mian nodded towards Su Chen and Zhang Wei, and the three of them walked away together. Zhang Mian had no intention of introducing Su Chen to these two people.
Only these two people and a group of guards were left standing there in a daze, looking at Zhang Mian's back with a look of surprise.
"Dad, why does it seem like nothing happened to this kid?"
The young man known as Brother Bo couldn't help but mutter.
"Don't talk too much at home, be careful the walls have ears."
The middle-aged man scolded in a low voice, and then looked at the alchemist with a somewhat gloomy look.
The alchemist's face was expressionless and he stood there blankly, but he muttered in a low voice: "How is it possible? I obviously knew the weight very well, and I did give it to him, there is absolutely no way I can hold on until I come back.
How can Qilin Powder be so easy to solve? It makes no sense..."
"snort!"
The middle-aged man looked very dissatisfied, "Zi Dansheng, I have always treated you well, but this time, you have let me down so much. This great opportunity has been wasted." Zhang Mian had a look of surprise on his face, as if
I never expected that it would be related to this young guest.
He couldn't help but look at Su Chen a few more times. Before, he only thought that this young man was the junior of Lang Lao Wei. Although his attitude was polite, he didn't really take it to heart. But now it seems that he is not as simple as an ordinary junior.
