Basically without taking the Jade Scroll, Li Mu eagerly browsed through it.
The high-tier spiritual materials stored in the Liu Family Spiritual Material Store’s warehouse are diverse and quite substantial in quantity. The total value of these materials exceeds one million top-grade Spirit Stones. In addition, with the store’s deposit and rental fees, Li Mu would need to pay a total of two million top-grade Spirit Stones.
Li Mu couldn’t help but breathe a slight sigh of relief. This amount is a fifth of his entire savings, so this store should be manageable. Moreover, the two small oversights he just found would offset so Spirit Stones.
If he could successfully acquire this shop, he would have a stable source of inco to better support his cultivation. Li Mu decisively decided to accept this condition.
Li Mu imdiately began to contemplate the managent plan for the shop.
Unlike the Liu Family Spiritual Material Store, which sells various spiritual materials and raw ingredients for spirit dicine, by selling finished products, he could generate greater profit. However, refining spiritual artifacts, spirit dicine, spirit talismans, and even puppets as finished products consus a large amount of spiritual materials. Additionally, with the spiritual materials needed for auxiliary planting, it would be necessary to find one or several stable and strong suppliers.
"Elder Li, is there a problem? Can you handle this batch together?"
Seeing Li Mu browsing the Jade Scroll for a while and suddenly lost in thought, Ji Hanyan quickly broke the silence and asked with concern.
Liu Yalan’s expression imdiately turned tense, waiting silently for Li Mu’s response.
"Basically no problem, Shopkeeper Liu, is there any discount on the price?"
Li Mu looked up at Liu Yalan and Ji Hanyan with a slight smile on his face. By this ti, he was no longer considering rely acquiring the shop, but also contemplating taking the female shopkeeper along with it.
The shop’s operation requires soone in charge. Li Mu could refine so finished products to sell, but he couldn’t devote all his energy here. Instead, he could have Xue’Er assist and learn managent, assign Xiaojin and Xiaowa to guard the warehouse—yet, experienced hands are needed to run the shop.
Li Mu already had a plan in mind: Xue’Er is talented and lively with the Celestial Fox bloodline, possessing a high talent for emotional and relational insights. Having her accompany him to cultivate in seclusion all day would waste her gifts. Letting her learn shop managent and operations, interacting with others, she could quickly grasp business operation skills and accelerate her developnt.
However, the managent of the shop still requires so skilled personnel. These personnel need to have rich experiences and skills, capable of handling various ergencies to ensure the shop’s normal operations.
Shopkeeper Liu in front of him is undoubtedly a suitable choice. She has been managing this shop for many years and possesses very rich experience and skills in shop managent and operations. If she could be retained to continue managing this shop, Li Mu could confidently entrust the shop to her.
"The price shown to you is already the cost price; however, if you could pay all the fees at once, I could offer a further discount." Liu Yalan looked at Li Mu and replied sowhat helplessly.
"Paying all at once is no problem, but I have two additional conditions. Could Shopkeeper Liu consider them?" Li Mu nodded pleasantly, smiling as he asked.
"Oh? Elder, please tell." Liu Yalan asked curiously, slightly surprised by the other party’s ’financial boldness’.
"I wonder if Shopkeeper Liu has any other plans after transferring this shop?" Li Mu smiled as he asked.
Upon hearing this question, Liu Yalan fell into a brief silence. She looked up at the bustling street outside the window, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She had managed this shop for decades, with deep affection invested, and naturally found it hard to part with it. Each familiar corner in the shop carried countless mories and efforts.
However, the Liu family is facing difficulties now and cannot support her in continuing the shop, leaving her without much direction upon leaving.
"Currently, there are no specific plans, but I might attempt to open another shop!" Liu Yalan replied, seemingly at a loss, looking at Li Mu.
Li Mu smiled gently at Liu Yalan and continued, "Shopkeeper Liu, if you don’t mind, would you stay and help ? Frankly, I’m also opening a shop for the first ti and I am sowhat lacking in business operations."
Liu Yalan furrowed her brow, not expecting Li Mu to make such a request.
She had originally thought Li Mu was rely hoping she would help manage the shop for a period until he found a suitable successor. But she hadn’t expected Li Mu to want her to stay on long term.
This left her feeling both surprised and hesitant.
After all, she is currently in a predicant that needs quick resolution. If she agreed to Li Mu’s request, she would have to temporarily set aside her plans to help Li Mu run the shop.
However, the condition offered by Li Mu intrigued her. If she could collaborate with Li Mu, she could leverage her experience and knowledge to help the shop get on track quickly. At the sa ti, she hoped to take this opportunity to restart her career.
"I wonder, what is Elder’s other additional condition?" Liu Yalan didn’t directly respond but instead asked about the other condition.
Li Mu smiled slightly and laid out his condition directly: "Your Liu family holds many supply channels for spiritual materials, right? If possible, I hope to collaborate with the Liu family for a long-term, substantial supply."
