Chapter 553 Money and Power(1/2)
"Zhengchun, I understand that your Zhou family has had a hard time in recent years, ancestor, but the interests involved in the 'Tianling Morning News' are too great for your family to bear!"
"Yes, ancestor, I also admit that even if others want to follow your example and create this kind of newspaper, they cannot collect and summarize news from all over the place as quickly as your Zhou family."
"But you must also understand that even if others cannot imitate you and do this, it is not difficult to sabotage the intelligence transmission of your Zhou family!"
"Money is so eye-catching! You can buy a foundation-building pill with the income from two copies of the Tianling Morning News a month. Such huge benefits are not something that your Zhou family can easily afford. You will suffer if you eat alone.
People are jealous!”
"Of course, when I say this, ancestor, I am not trying to compete with Zhengchun and your Zhou family, but I want to tell you that the benefits here are too great and you, the Zhou family, cannot grasp it!"
In the cave, the ancestor of the Su family looked at Zhou Chun with a serious look on his face and told him his intention of inviting him here today.
Zhou Chun also knew that the words of the ancestor of the Su family were not exaggerated.
To be honest, although he had already expected that "Tian Ling Morning Post" would make a lot of money, he was a little surprised when he actually saw the profit.
You must know that this "Tianling Morning News" has only been in operation for less than a year, and many aspects are not perfect yet. There is still room for improvement and improvement, and not all immortal cultivators are accustomed to buying newspapers and reading them.
When it becomes more and more perfect in the future, and more immortal cultivators start to buy it and develop reading habits, the income will probably increase several times or even more than ten times!
People like the ancestors of the Su family must have seen this.
If this was just the case, it shouldn't be enough for the ancestor of the Su family to say this.
After all, which Jindan family doesn’t have a business that earns tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of spiritual coins every year!
But the problem is that in the eyes of most monks, this "Tianling Morning News" is a cost-free transaction.
All you need to do is collect the information that ordinary monks on the street know and integrate it, and it can be done by just arranging some Qi Refining Stage monks!
And the more important point is that mineral veins and the like will always be hollowed out one day. Alchemy and weapon refining also require one's own collection of materials and energy, and there will be a decline after the death of skilled monks.
But as long as this "Tian Ling Morning News" remains like this, it will be an endless gold mine.
How can a business with such low investment, high returns, and endless returns not attract the envy of others!
However, this is just an outsider's view, and Zhou Chun himself does not see it that way.
I saw him immediately complaining and saying: "Ancestor, you said it was easy, but in fact you only saw thieves eating meat, not being beaten!"
As he spoke, he began to complain: "Do you think that if you want to achieve the effect of this 'Tianling Morning News', you can only have a good idea? I don't want to say anything else, just to achieve the synchronization of all places and cities across the country.
Sales, can any company do this?"
"Do you know how many spiritual coins my Zhou family has invested in buying stores? How many monks have been hired to sell them on the streets? How much manpower and material resources have been spent on transporting newspapers?"
"Also, you mentioned intelligence collection just now. Do you think it costs nothing for the Zhou family to establish intelligence collection sites? Doesn't it cost money to maintain the operation of these intelligence sites? These early investment of spiritual coins add up to a fortune.
, it’s not as simple as you think!”
"Furthermore, you also know that those casual cultivators are a bunch of stingy people. A dozen of them can pool money together to buy a copy of a newspaper for one spiritual coin. In the future, more people will follow suit. This profit
But there aren’t as many as you see now!”
The words he said are also reasonable and well-founded, not made up randomly.
The ancestor of the Su family couldn't deny it for a while.
I can only look at him and shake my head slightly: "I don't deny what you said, ancestor, Zhengchun, but it is easy for you to convince me, ancestor, but it is difficult to convince others! Others may not listen to your difficulties, they will only see you making money now.
Got it!"
At this point, he simply opened the skylight and said frankly: "Ancestor, let me tell you the truth, the reason why I come to talk to you about this matter today is not my own intention, but it is the intention of some elders from the Moon Wheel Sect through Yun
Mom spread the news and came over, wanting to get involved!"
"You also know that [Zhou Tong Tianxia] was able to establish a firm foothold in every state under the leadership of the Moon Lun Sect before. It was not because our Su family was so capable, but because we found connections with the Moon Lun Sect!"
"Now your Zhou family's newspapers are sold through various branches of the trading company, and the profits are so amazing. The benefits we gave them in the past are no longer satisfactory!"
After speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Zhou Chun wouldn't believe it, so he immediately continued: "I think it's not just me, there will probably be people from the Zhu family of the Yanyang Sect who will come to talk to you about this matter!"
Finally, he comforted Zhou Chun and said, "Don't blame them for looking ugly. It's like this everywhere in the world. Who said that in the end, it's the two of them who have the final say in Jingguo!"
Having said this, the ancestor of the Su family also let out a helpless sigh.
However, what he expected was that after hearing his words, he thought that Zhou Chun would be a little unconvinced and argue, but unexpectedly, Zhou Chun was just silent for a moment, and then said in a calm tone: "If you say this, junior
Then you understand, it’s just that money cannot compete with power!”
Hearing Zhou Chun's words, the ancestor of the Su family immediately slapped his thigh and shouted: "That's right! The life of the elders of the sect is not as easy as ordinary monks think. The welfare offerings provided by the sect can only maintain
They live a decent life, and if they want to go further, they have to take risks and find ways to make money!"
"Normally if our families want to open a mine or something, they can't control us. But if they want to cause trouble with your 'Tianling Morning News' and commercial business, it would be too easy for them to just stop us from opening a store.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhou Chun understands this deeply.
Because I experienced too many similar things in my previous life.
Even if you open a small shop, you still have to take care of it in several aspects. If the business of the shop is good, then management will be indispensable!
However, there are always subtle differences between the two worlds.
In the world of the previous life, just a few people in uniform could accept his filial piety.
In this world, only those with a truly high position of authority can receive this kind of money!
And he doesn't have to be too groveling like those small bosses in his previous life.
After all, this is a world where great power belongs to oneself. In terms of strength, Zhou Chun is no worse than those Jindan elders of Yuelun Sect who want to accept his filial piety!
After he pondered for a while, he looked at the ancestor of the Su family and nodded and said: "Well, ancestor, please help spread the word and arrange for the juniors to meet with those people in person to discuss the matter. As long as they are willing to use money to do things,
The asking price is not too outrageous, and the juniors will not break the rules!"
"This matter is easy to handle. Just wait at Su's house for a few days. Ancestor, I will personally send a letter inviting them to come to Su's house for a meeting!"
The ancestor of the Su family nodded repeatedly and agreed on the spot.
Then the two went on to exchange some other things.
While talking like this, the ancestor of the Su family suddenly looked at Zhou Chun and said, "I heard that Zhengchun recently accepted a junior from the Zhou family as your disciple and taught him personally. Is this child very talented?"
Don't blame him for suddenly asking about this matter, it's really a bit strange.
Among the several golden elixir stage monks in the Zhou family, Zhou Chun is the youngest and has the greatest potential. Logically speaking, he should concentrate on his cultivation and reach a higher realm.
Even if we really need to support and train the younger generations, there are still Zhou Mingde and Lin Hongyu who can do it for them. There is absolutely no need for Zhou Chun to do this himself.
But now it is Zhou Chunlai who is doing this himself.
How could this not make the ancestor of the Su family murmur in his heart?
And he was not an outsider, so he simply took the opportunity to ask out his doubts.
When Zhou Chun heard him ask about this matter, he didn't show anything strange. He just replied softly: "Talent is certainly good. Ying'er has a high-grade spiritual root qualification for the wind attribute. In terms of talent, she is considered a close member of my Zhou family."
The best qualification in hundreds of years!"
"However, the reason why this junior accepts a disciple is because Ying'er's father previously presented a treasure that is of great use to this junior. In addition, she has really good qualifications and wants to cultivate another golden elixir seed for the Zhou family in the future.
!”
This answer cannot be said to be perfect, but it is enough to deal with the ancestor of the Su family.
After all, even if the relationship between the two parties is really unusual, we can't get to the bottom of everything.
Then he saw his face suddenly nodded and said: "I see, I don't want you to start thinking about this kind of thing now, Zhengchun, you are really far-sighted!"
Next, while waiting for the Jindan elders from the Yuelun Sect to arrive, Zhou Chun also went to the bottom of Suzi Lake outside the Zhou Family Mountain Gate to visit Baibai, the thunder dragon that was kept there.
After much thought before, Zhou Chun finally chose to release Thunder Dragon Baibai in Suzi Lake.
As soon as I arrived here, it was right outside the gate of Sujiashan, with the ancestors of the Su family and Su Yuzhen taking care of me, so I wasn't afraid of anyone targeting Bai Bai.
Secondly, the environment of Suzi Lake is also quite suitable for the habitat of Thunder Dragon Baibai.
In the deepest part of the lake, which is hundreds of feet deep, there is a huge palace made of black copper.
This palace is fifty or sixty feet long, more than thirty feet wide, and more than twenty feet high!
There are thirty-six copper pillars inside the palace, which are used to support the weight of the palace and provide shelter for thunder dragons.
In addition to the thunder dragon Baibai, there are also some low-level monsters domesticated by the Zhou family, such as green-striped water turtles, armored crocodiles, black-scaled pythons, thunder feather sparrows and other monsters!
These low-level monsters are raised here and are infiltrated by the dragon's breath day and night, hoping to produce benign mutations and become dragon-born monsters.
However, this is not so easy to do. Most of the time, these monsters will die because they cannot withstand the pressure of the dragon's breath and suffer from excessive psychological pressure.
Or maybe the bloodline collapsed during the mutation and the body exploded to death!
Speaking of which, the ability to build such a huge palace was thanks to the Zhou family's previous discovery of a black copper vein in the wilderness.
Otherwise, the black copper ore required to build this palace would be worth hundreds of thousands of spiritual coins in total!
After Zhou Chun entered the waterless palace, the thunder dragon that was originally coiled on a copper pillar immediately swam down along the copper pillar, came straight to him and raised its head.
To be honest, this action is more like those of snakes.
But Lei Jiao Baibai originally evolved from a python, and it is normal for him to retain some of his past snake habits.
To be continued...
