The next day.

Zhao Chu had a surprisingly large appetite. He ate chicken, duck, fish, whatever was greasy so early in the morning. In an instant, he had finished eating a whole table of dishes, and he still had to drink a bowl of soup.

Opposite Shuidie and the shopkeeper looked at Zhao Chu with surprise on their faces.

Can this guy digest it after eating it?

But Zhao Chu always looked satisfied.

"Miss Shuidie, the bank is here to demand interest again."

At this moment, Wang Qianpo walked in and said worriedly to Shui Die.

"Well, now that I know Brother Wang, I'll think of a way."

Then, Shui Die nodded slightly, her brows filled with sadness.

"Shuidie, what's the interest? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Zhao Chu asked with a frown.

"They are all trivial matters, not worth mentioning. My dear friend, please don't worry about them."

Shui Die shook her head and smiled reluctantly.

"explain!"

Zhao Chu put down the bowl and said calmly.

Hearing this, Shui Die was startled, and she quickly told about the problems the chamber of commerce had encountered recently.

Because of the rise of the Tianci Sect, the Northern Territory also has great luck. Herbs that were difficult to appear in the past can be seen everywhere during this period.

As a result, many monks in the northern realm directly chose the alchemist sub-career.

First, you can save a lot of money by making your own medicine.

Second, the medicine you make by yourself is more suitable for your own situation and the effect will be better.

Shui Die's original chamber of commerce specialized in selling spiritual liquid and Qi Hai Dan.

Just like a gust of wind blowing, in the entire northern realm, suddenly no one bought the spiritual liquid and Qi Hai Dan anymore, and everyone was swarming in refining the medicine themselves.

Although the alchemy furnace is expensive, many monks spend all their savings to buy one.

There were even some poor monks who couldn't afford it, so a few people formed a partnership to buy an alchemy furnace. Although there were deaths due to ownership issues, it could not stop the trend of refining medicine among the people.

The batch of Qi Hai Dan that Shui Die had stocked before was now backlogged in his hands.

The bank's interest needs to be repaid, workers' wages need to be paid, and there is also money to rent the warehouse.

No one was willing to buy the elixirs. In order to pay off the debt, Shuidie had to sell all the elixirs at half price. In this way, she lost all her money.

Later, Shui Die refused to give up.

She thought selling alchemy furnaces was a good business, so Shui Die spent her last savings and even mortgaged the property left by her ex-husband to hoard a large number of alchemy furnaces.

But fate plays tricks on people like this.

The previous trend of everyone refining alchemy was like a passing cloud.

Without any reason, many people discovered the shortcomings of their own alchemy and gave up on it.

The alchemy furnace is a big problem.

Most monks generally do not have a fixed residence. It is not that they cannot afford an alchemy furnace, but monks at the lower level do not have a Qiankun bag and cannot carry an alchemy furnace everywhere they go.

Everyone is willing to make elixirs and want to make elixirs themselves.

The market price of an alchemy furnace is 30,000 gold coins. Most monks can afford it if they work hard and grit their teeth.

But after the alchemy furnace is used up, there is no place to store it, and it becomes a burden.

In this way, the trend of national alchemy ended inexplicably, and a large number of alchemy furnaces hoarded by Shui Die died in the warehouse again.

And the money on her account was just enough to repay the bank's interest for one month.

After that, she had to face the sale of the alchemy furnace at a low price, and all her property was taken away by the bank to pay off the debt, leaving her with nothing.

"Tough luck!"

Zhao Chu tapped his fingers on the table. In the silent room, there was only a crisp tapping sound.

"Shuidie, go buy some talisman paper and pens, and then take me to your warehouse!"

After a while, Zhao Chu spoke.

"Ah...Okay, as ordered!"

Shui Die didn't know what Zhao Chu meant.

An hour later, everyone appeared in Shuidi's warehouse.

Zhao Chu nodded.

This Water Butterfly is really courageous. There are hundreds of alchemy furnaces arranged neatly. If the alchemy trend hadn't passed, this batch of alchemy furnaces would definitely make her a lot of money.

Unfortunately, doing business depends on God's will.

"My lord, this is all the goods."

Looking at so many alchemy furnaces, Shui Die's face was full of melancholy.

"Shui Die, take advantage of the fact that the price of the alchemy furnace is now at its lowest. You should immediately find all the blacksmiths and place an order for forging the alchemy furnace. It is best to monopolize all orders for the next two months."

"Use all the money you have now to pay the deposit in advance and sign the contract."

Zhao Chu nodded and said.

"What?"

Shui Die was stunned.

Is Zhao Chu crazy?

Everyone is selling the alchemy furnace at a low price. Zhao Chu still goes to the blacksmith shop to place an order. Is he looking for death?

Later, Shui Die still listened to Zhao Chu's words. After all, Zhao Chu had redeemed her body with 10 million gold coins, so she could only obey his orders.

"Well, all the remaining alchemy furnaces will be moved to the street soon and let the monks use them for free. Don't they think there is no place to put the alchemy furnaces? Throw them on the street and whoever wants to use them can use them."

Zhao Chu's words were astonishing. Shui Die stared at him and froze on the spot, almost suffocating.

A good person?

After working on it for a long time, it turned out that Zhao Chu was a kind man.

Whatever.

Just think of it as a waste of money.

Shui Die had a bitter face, looking like she wanted to refute but didn't dare, with mixed feelings.

"Why are you grimacing?"

"I said you can use the alchemy furnace for free, but I didn't say no deposit is required."

"The current market price of the alchemy furnace is 30,000 gold coins. I wrote a talisman and sealed the alchemy furnace. In the future, as long as you activate this talisman, you can use the alchemy furnace for free for one hour. After one hour, the timer fee will start."

"After that, every hour, the usage fee will be increased by 30 gold coins."

"The second hour is 60 gold coins."

"In the third hour, it's only 90 gold coins. The monks are heartbroken and reluctant to occupy it for a long time."

"And for each alchemy furnace, we charge a deposit of 10,000 gold coins."

"In this way, our shared alchemy furnace has taken a rough shape. One alchemy furnace can fool dozens of monks into giving deposits."

Zhao Chu nodded.

An alchemy furnace can eventually be worth over 100,000 gold coins just for the deposit alone.

Stunned!

After listening to Zhao Chu's remarks, Shui Die froze on the spot, as if his brain was being struck by ten thousand thunderbolts.

shared?

Dan furnace?

What kind of way of thinking is this.

She felt like she had seen a ghost.

The fundamental reason why the alchemy furnace cannot be sold is because it cannot be carried, and Zhao Chu just throws it on the street for whoever comes and uses it. This solves the most fundamental inconvenience.

He charges a deposit, which is one-third of the price of the alchemy furnace. Almost all monks can afford it, and people feel that they are getting a big advantage and are willing to pay.

An hour later, fees started to be charged, which put an end to the monks' greedy mentality of occupying the alchemy furnace for a long time.

What a genius.

After a while, Shui Die came back to his senses and swallowed hard.
