Li Si and Shatuo discovered that when Long Xiangtian mentioned the word "Huage", his eyes were filled with deep memories and longing. Even Shatuo, a rough man, guessed that the word "Huage" must have a special meaning for Long Xiangtian.
"Master Long, do you still want to open a restaurant?" Li Si guessed that Long Xiangtian would still want to run a restaurant business from the fact that he asked someone to learn business and management from him, but he still asked uncertainly. After all, if Long Xiangtian continued to run the restaurant, Li Si would still be of some use to him. If not, then he would really be of no use and would have to find another way out.
Long Xiangtian also understood Li Si's concerns, and immediately comforted Li Si: "Don't worry, Manager Li, I don't want to overthrow this restaurant, but I still have to replace a few people." Long Xiangtian still planned to keep Li Si. After all, Li Si was able to run the restaurant well because of his own strengths.
However, Long Xiangtian still had to consider whether to exchange the others. He planned to go to the slave market to buy some slaves later.
Li Si felt relieved after hearing what Long Xiangtian said. Since Long Xiangtian said so, at least he didn't have to leave the restaurant. Although the restaurant had been sold to Long Xiangtian and even its name would be changed to "Hua Ge" soon, Li Si had deep feelings for the restaurant that he had worked hard to build.
After seeing that Li Si's expression had become much more normal, Long Xiangtian ordered Li Si and Shatuo, "Shatuo, give the money to Shopkeeper Li. The decoration and signboard will be left to you."
Long Xiangtian thought that Shatuo would be somewhat unhappy, after all, the money was his reward. Unexpectedly, Shatuo happily gave the storage ring that Long Xiangtian gave him to Li Si, and there was no reluctance on his face.
Li Si didn't know the relationship between Long Xiangtian and Shatuo, and he didn't feel anything strange and stopped it. However, he was just an ordinary businessman with some money and no cultivation. Now he was holding the legendary storage ring and was even a little excited.
Li Si had always thought that Long Xiangtian was the young master of a large family and must have a high level of cultivation. However, he did not know that Shatuo, who had been asking him questions these days, was also a "master" in the Guanli realm. He would probably be very scared if he knew about it.
"Young Master Long, the opening of the new store will definitely require a ribbon-cutting celebration. I wonder if you can find some people to come." Although Li Si could also find some people of status and position, that was only for him. It was nothing to a cultivator of Long Xiangtian's strength.
So Li thought that since Young Master Long was of noble status and might be a powerful cultivator, if he allowed Long Xiangtian to find some people to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, it would definitely bring a lot of attention to "Hua Ge".
Long Xiangtian lowered his head and thought about it. He originally just wanted to open a hotel in this city. On the one hand, it was to provide himself with a base, and on the other hand, he wanted to have a place like Hua Ge that could provide him with intelligence. But now that he named the restaurant "Hua Ge", he had to make it the best.
"Leave this matter to me." Long Xiangtian felt that although he was not a prominent figure, he still had some connections in the martial arts academy.
After arranging everything, it was almost noon, but Long Xiangtian was not in a hurry to go back to the dormitory. Instead, he planned to go to the slave market he mentioned before with Shatuo. Before they left, Long Xiangtian suddenly remembered something and said to Li Si awkwardly, "Boss Li, why don't you give me the money? I'll find a way to pay for the renovation."
Long Xiangtian suddenly remembered that he had no money at all, and Shatuo's money was all given to Li Si, so they couldn't go to the slave market empty-handed. Li Si was also stunned when he saw Long Xiangtian's embarrassed look, but he still handed over the ring.
Long Xiangtian took the ring and once again felt the helplessness of poverty. He thought to himself that if it really didn't work, he would have to give up the idea of decorating his house.
"Shatuo, how much money is in this ring?" Long Xiangtian suddenly asked Shatuo while walking on the road. He gave the ring directly to Shatuo and didn't know how much money was in it, so he asked curiously at this time.
"About one million." Shatuo gave Long Xiangtian an approximate number without knowing the exact number.
"What is the price of slaves?"
Shatuo also knew that since Long Xiangtian wanted to buy slaves, he would not buy ordinary people. He then said to Long Xiangtian, "The price of the Body Tempering Realm is probably thousands of gold coins, and the price of the Qi Refining Realm is probably around ten thousand. As for the Strength Penetration Realm, the difference is huge. Some cost hundreds of thousands, and some cost hundreds of thousands."
Long Xiangtian was silent for a moment, feeling a strange sense of desolation in his heart. He had cultivated to such a level, so what if he was a leader? There were even people of the same level as him being sold as commodities in the market.
However, Long Xiangtian did not think much about it. His mentality quickly recovered and he was thinking about what kind of people he should buy. Since he planned to make "Hua Ge" a success, his subordinates should at least be at the Guanli realm. The money he had was probably enough to buy four or five people. Although it was not much, it was enough for a short period of time.
When Long Xiangtian arrived at the slave market, he found that the slave market was not as chaotic as he had imagined, but rather orderly. The slave market was divided into various areas, with different "goods" in different areas, and buyers could choose according to their own requirements.
Long Xiangtian discovered that not only slaves were bought here, but also some powerful beasts were bought here. Moreover, not everyone went there to buy slaves. Some people just wanted to buy a beautiful woman to take home to satisfy their own desires. Although Long Xiangtian despised this kind of behavior, he also knew that it was impossible to change this kind of thing with his own strength. Didn't you see that people dared to sell even those in the Lianlianli realm? There must be some great means behind it.
Long Xiangtian also knew that where there was light there was always darkness. He was actually no better than them. He looked down on others, but wasn't his behavior now supporting this kind of thing in disguise? Long Xiangtian sighed. There wasn't much he could do. He could only treat these slaves better in the future.
