Chapter 910 A deal is reached

After entering Wenxian Tower, Qingchan remained silent. She carefully looked at the furnishings in Wenxian Tower and went straight to the topic: "How many spiritual objects are accumulated in Wenxian Tower? What is the annual income and expenditure?"

After Lu Wenxian passed away, Wenxian Tower gradually went downhill. The last sixth-level weapon refiner's contract expired a year ago and left the Demon Refining City, immediately making Wenxian Tower unable to make ends meet.

The Wenxianlou stall is too big, has too many branches, and employs a lot of people.

The expense of renting the elixir garden and the six-story underground fire room is also a huge sum.

Without high-level alchemists and weapon refiners in charge, this large business would not be able to sustain itself.

Moreover, Lu Zocheng gave birth to babies twice and also removed a large number of precious spiritual objects from Wenxian Tower.

Today's Wenxian Tower, except for the lease of the elixir garden and the underground fire room, has some value, and has almost become an empty shell.

If given enough time to wait, Zhang Zhixuan would not want to intervene, preferring to build a large merchant from scratch.

Qingchan asked continuously, leaving Lu Zocheng silent for a long time.

The room immediately became quiet. After Lu Zocheng thought deeply, he broke the silence and said: "The seventeen stores in Wenxian Tower have also accumulated some spiritual objects, which are worth about 3.96 million spiritual stones in total. Now the annual fixed income is only 300,000." More than 10,000, a loss of about 700,000 spiritual stones a year."

Zhang Zhixuan said calmly: "Do you have detailed business account books?"

"Of course it does."

Lu Zocheng waved, and a moment later a Jindan monk held a thick stack of account books and handed them to Zhang Zhixuan respectfully.

Zhang Zhixuan carefully looked through the account books and made secret calculations for a long time.

"The goods worth more than three million spirit stones are all low-end goods that are difficult to sell. It may take a long time to turn them into spirit stones. Most of the shops in Wenxian Tower are leased, and the lease period of eleven shops is approaching. The value is not high. The remaining six shops are self-owned properties, worth about 1.2 million spiritual stones.

Wenxian Tower also controls an elixir garden attached to Demon Refining City. This elixir garden has a sixty-year contract and can produce 300 strains of various elixirs every year. These elixirs are mainly of the third and fourth levels, and their annual income is about 160,000 spirit stones.

However, operating this elixir garden requires investing 120,000 spirit stones every year to maintain the Demon Refining City array. In addition, it is necessary to pay a tax of 60,000 spirit stones to the Wuwei Sect. Simply relying on the output of the elixir garden may not be enough. Some are unable to make ends meet.

The value of this elixir garden lies in its ability to stably provide a variety of elixirs. Only by cooperating with high-level alchemists can it be of high value.

There are still thirty years left in the lease contract for the underground fire room. The annual rental fee for the sixth-level underground fire room is as high as 120,000 spirit stones. The thirty-year contract adds up to more than 3.6 million yuan. Without the sixth-level weapon refiner, the value of this contract would be greatly reduced. "

Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan remained silent for a long time, Lu Zocheng finally lost his composure and asked, "What do you think, Senior Zhang?"

Since Lu Wenxian's good friend Yang Yongzhou left the Demon Refining City after his contract expired, he lost this sixth-level weapon refiner. The Wenxian Tower will lose 700,000 spirit stones in one year after its opening.

It had only been delayed for a year and a half, and it was already difficult for Lu Zocheng to bear it. After all, he is just a golden elixir monk, and the family left behind by his father is not strong enough to support him for long.

The Wenxian Building industry is quite large, and it is difficult for ordinary casual cultivators to afford it.

Although several other businesses in the Demon Refining City are wealthy and have the ability to merge with Wenxian Tower, they are picky and selective and keep their prices very low. They only eat the meat and not the bones. Not only were they unwilling to take over the manpower in Wenxian Tower, but they were only willing to take over one-third of the backlog of goods in Wenxian Tower, which was the easiest to sell, and they were not willing to take over the contract of the sixth-level underground fire room. They all have their own six-level fire chambers, and they are not willing to increase their investment for no reason.

Lu Zocheng was simply unwilling to accept such conditions.

If it cannot be sold this year, Lu Zocheng can only gradually close some stores, lay off manpower, and find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

The shopkeepers in the store are all descendants of Lu Wenxian's disciples, and are also related to Lu Zuocheng.

Once these monks lose their jobs, the Jindan Zifu monks are still fine and can still gain a foothold in Demon Refining City. Those who practice Qi and build foundations will inevitably leave the Demon Refining City and become a casual cultivator without anyone to take care of them.

Although three groups of monks came today, only Zhang Zhixuan's family expressed their intention to take over. Lu Zocheng was actually very willing to complete the deal, even if the price had to be compromised a few steps more.

Seeing Lu Zuocheng speak, Zhang Zhixuan had already considered all the pros and cons clearly. He nodded and said: "If you want to revitalize Wenxian Tower, you will need to invest at least tens of millions of spiritual stones. In order to operate smoothly in the future, I can only choose to pay in installments. Ask The fixed assets of the Immortal Tower will be discounted by 70%, and 3.6 million spiritual stones will be paid in one lump sum, and then 300,000 spiritual stones will be paid every year for thirty years until the spiritual medicine garden is leased. until the contract expires.

Of course, I will also promise Lu Xiaoyou not to change the signboard or lay off employees, unless someone violates the store rules. "

Lu Zocheng smiled bitterly and said: "The discount is too low, please give me a little more, Senior Zhang."

Zhang Zhixuan shook his head and said: "We and my wife have many disciples and relatives under our command. In fact, we don't need a large number of manpower in the Immortal Tower. If there is no such burden, I am willing to take over at a premium."

Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan was unmoved, Lu Zocheng thought for a long time and finally nodded: "In that case, let's do what Senior Zhang wants!"

Lu Zuocheng is a Wuwei Sect monk and is very familiar with the Nascent Soul monks in Demon Refining City. There are more than a hundred Nascent Souls in the Demon Refining City, but only a few who have just settled there are interested in taking over Wenxian Tower.

Among these few customers, Zhang Zhixuan is probably the only one who has the strength and ability to run the Wenxian Building.

Unless he is willing to sell the houses separately and completely ignore his parents' relatives and descendants, he may be able to increase his income a little.

Although he received more than one million less spiritual stones, he could let his parents and relatives settle in the Demon Refining City and prevent them from losing their jobs. Lu Zuocheng could barely accept this result.

Moreover, if the deal is completed, he can get 3.6 million spiritual stones at once, and there will be 12 million spiritual stones in the next 60 years. Although these 12 million spiritual stones need to repay 8 million debts.

Even so, for a Jindan cultivator, this amount of resources is enough for him to exchange for infant spiritual objects.

After signing the contract, Zhang Zhixuan immediately took over the Wenxian Building.

Zhang Zhixuan did not plan to close the 17 branches, and he also wanted to open branches of the Wenxian Building all over Zhongchizhou.

At Zhang Zhixuan's order, Zhang Sihong and others took several purple mansion cultivators to take over the Wenxian Building branches, and the original shopkeepers served as assistants. Some high-level spiritual objects were also brought along.

In addition, Zhang Zhixuan also sent his disciples to personally manage the spiritual medicine garden to prevent the original owner of Wenxianlou from taking advantage of it.

With the sixth-level earth fire room, Zhang Zhixuan decided to start the furnace immediately and refine a furnace of sixth-level spiritual pills to make a name for himself.
