Chapter 240: A Distinguished Guest Has Arrived!

Gross profit, the reason it is only gross profit.

Is because various costs have not been deducted yet.

Raw materials?

This is actually not much, the raw materials for one Jade Marrow Pill are only five spirit stones.

Even if affected by the war, it rose to six, it is just a drizzle.

Plus the loss of him refining Jade Dew Pills, Tongyou Pills, and other pills at a loss... the total cost is only 40, 00 spirit stones.

In terms of rent, Danxia Hall is 5, 00 spirit stones a year.

It won't increase for the time being, he and the Ice Fortress are still in the honeymoon period, and can continue to get this preferential price.

The bulk of the cost expenditure is still labor!

Working at full capacity to refine pills for a year, it can be said that the cultivators of the Pill Hall and Medicine Hall are almost exhausted.

In this situation, besides the basic salary, Luo Chen certainly has to give a lot of rewards.

Just these two halls consumed 60, 00 spirit stones a year.

The Battle Hall is responsible for protection and transportation, so there is no need to give rewards, just maintain the basic salary.

About 60, 00 spirit stones a year as well.

The Gold Hall is responsible for sales, which is the most important link besides refining!

Besides the basic salary, Luo Chen didn't give rewards, but gave commissions.

For every bottle of pills sold, whether it is Jade Marrow Pills or Peiyuan Spirit Liquid that has only undergone rough processing, he promised to give a commission of two spirit stones.

Given that the number of female cultivators in the Gold Hall is small and their realm is not high.

After giving extremely high treatment, the expenditure cost is only 20, 00.

"Calculated this way, the cost of ordinary cultivators is about 140, 00, plus material and rent costs, it is only 180, 00."

"What consumes a lot is the high-level cultivators."

For the high-level of the Luotian Society, the salary Luo Chen gives is far beyond the ordinary lower level.

Not to mention the existence of Sima Huiniang and Murong Qinglian.

Just like old people like Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang, they only get three or four hundred spirit stones a month.

Even so, all the ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators added up to 60, 00 a year!

You must know, this group of people is the smallest type of existence.

There are also Wang Yuan and Duan Feng, who enjoy the treatment of three thousand spirit stones a month.

One person a year, at least 30, 00 spirit stones!

"Calculated in this way, the annual expenditure is at least 300, 00 spirit stones!"

After calculating this account!

Even if Luo Chen was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be shocked.

No wonder Wang Haichao was so stingy back then, almost never giving fixed salaries to his subordinates.

No wonder Mi Shuhua was unwilling to let the Po Mountain Gang have a second Foundation Establishment true cultivator, as it would cost at least 30, 00 to 40, 00 spirit stones a year.

If it were an ordinary Foundation Establishment force, how could it support such a huge cost expenditure!

It is only Luo Chen who has this ability and this courage!

If Wang Haichao were alive and saw Luo Chen being so generous, he would probably scold him for being stupid.

However, Luo Chen sees it more clearly than anyone else.

These expenditures are extremely necessary.

Those people also get the rewards they deserve.

Without their efforts, where would such a large income come from.

Not to mention anything else, Duan Feng gets 30, 00 a year, is it a lot?

Not at all!

First, he is a Foundation Establishment true cultivator.

Second, the annual output profit of the Tool Hall also has tens of thousands of spirit stones.

That 400, 00 is not just the income of the Pill Hall.

Finally, after Duan Feng brings out the people in the Tool Hall, they can produce and sell by themselves, which is also a stable source of wealth.

As for Wang Yuan, getting 30, 00 a year, is it a lot?

It seems he has no output, right!

However, the Luotian Society has come all the way, and Wang Yuan has always provided combat power guarantees.

In the Battle of the Fu Family, he broke through the indestructible fortress.

In the Battle of Xiaohuan Mountain, he resisted the pressure of Duan Qiankun head-on.

In the Battle of Gaoling Plain, he defeated Huo Hu across levels.

When moving into Danxia Peak, he even killed Cao Wanchun, establishing prestige for the Luotian Society.

It can be said that him getting 30, 00 spirit stones a year is still too little.

If it were Chu Kui from Tianlan Immortal City, one shot would start at 100, 00!

Not to mention the various guidance and efforts Wang Yuan has given Luo Chen along the way.

It is precisely because of this that Luo Chen offered Wang Yuan a high-priced treatment as a Foundation Establishment guest long ago.

As for others?

While they work hard, Luo Chen has also suffered from the hardships of low-grade cultivators, so how can he not give generous rewards.

Moreover!

"In a year, I have a surplus of 100, 00 spirit stones!"

100, 00!

Net income, pure profit, belongs to Luo Chen alone!

Which Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator can earn so many spirit stones?

Even great cultivators like Chu Kui have to open their mouths wide to earn blood and sweat money, and have to see if there is a chance.

I fear that sect Foundation Establishment cultivators can't do this either.

This is a low-grade magic treasure a year... no, it can even buy two or three!

This is the value that a pill refiner, a pill refiner who has his own force, can create!

Even to say, this is not the case when Luo Chen is in full pill refining mode.

If it were full-power Luo?

Not going to engage in Jade Dew Pills, not refining Tongyou Pills, slightly reducing cultivation time, then the value he can create would be even greater.

It's just that Luo Chen won't put the cart before the horse.

Even!

He also wants to save more time to cultivate after the Luotian Society gets on the right track.

What is called getting on the right track?

Hundreds of spirit fields can all create income!

The Tool Hall can produce and sell by itself!

In terms of the Pill Hall, Qu Lingjun and Mili grow up and can stand on their own.

Even the Battle Hall, recently Sima Huiniang and Sima Xian are also planning to find some side jobs for them.

Not to mention anything else.

Those spirit field plantings always need manpower!

The Battle Hall has dozens of powerful late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, idle and having nothing to do, learning two hands of spirit planting techniques, and going to farm is also good!

Farming when idle, rolling up sleeves to fight when at war, this is the healthy operation mode of the Battle Hall!

Cultivating every day?

A group of Qi Refining stage cultivators, what can they cultivate, I'm afraid of cultivating too much and breaking their brains.

It can be said that Luo Chen's plan for the future is very clear and has goals.

By that time, the Luotian Society's income will not just rely on the current Pill Hall and the Tool Hall that picks up cheap deals.

Thinking a bit far.

Withdrawing his thoughts.

Luo Chen began to calculate how to make the best use of this huge amount of spirit stones.

Investing in himself!

100, 00, low-grade magic treasures can almost be bought at will.

Even adding a little bit, he can try to get mid-grade magic treasures.

But he will never do this!

He already has two magic treasures.

And they are both offensive and defensive.

No matter how many magic treasures there are, no matter how high the grade, with his Foundation Establishment realm, he can't use them.

Improving cultivation is the most important thing.

"Perhaps, I can consider changing a cave dwelling."

Luo Chen recalled the second-tier high-grade cave dwelling of Tantai Jin and Ling Yuzhi.

That is an existence where the spiritual energy concentration is doubled compared to the low-grade cave dwelling.

If he could cultivate in this environment, his cultivation speed would definitely be greatly improved!

It's just that there has been no empty second-tier high-grade cave dwelling, which makes him have money but nowhere to spend it.

"Purchasing other resources useful for cultivation?"

Luo Chen's heart settled slightly, planning to take time to visit the major shops in the city more.

There must be many good things he doesn't know about.

Such as the existence of Taibai wine!

Wanbao Building, he can also go there more often.

I heard that a new flying boat was launched recently, which can travel on land in the immortal city, it seems to be a simplified version of his Langqi flying boat.

As soon as it was launched, it was sought after by cultivators.

With Wanbao Building's R&D capability, there must be auxiliary magic tools for Foundation Establishment cultivators to cultivate for sale.

"Dong!"

A slight sound rang out.

Luo Chen woke up from his deep thought and looked over.

It was Xu Xiaoliu who had been standing for too long, due to his nature, touched the wall behind him.

"President, I'm sorry..."

"It's okay!"

Luo Chen smiled, he knew it was because he had been thinking for too long.

Looking at the two, Luo Chen praised:

"Recently, you have done very well!"

Xu Xiaoliu scratched the back of his head and smiled, "It's still the idea you came up with, President, that flyer came out, our Danxia Hall is so remote, but there are guests who take the initiative to come to the door."

"Why didn't we think of it before."

Luo Chen pursed his lips and smiled.

Just a flyer, it's nothing.

It's just that cultivators couldn't let go of their face to do it.

Xu Xiaoliu is not bad either, after he proposed the flyer, he drew inferences from one instance and proposed to engrave a route map on the back of the flyer.

In this way, even those who don't need pills for the time being will collect this kind of flyer.

"Caiyi, you have done very well too!"

Facing Luo Chen's appreciative gaze, Gu Caiyi puffed out her towering chest.

She smiled, "This is all something you taught me in the early years, Caiyi dare not take credit."

Luo Chen shook his head, "I'm not just talking about those female cultivators."

"This huge shop, from nothing to something, is basically handled by you alone. I have seen the hardship in it."

Gu Caiyi opened her mouth to say something humble.

But when the words reached her lips, she was a little choked.

Just as Luo Chen said, in the past year, she has really been extremely hard.

Before in Dahe Market, although she had the experience of managing a shop.

But at that time, the place was small, there were few people, and most of the people coming and going were of lower realm than her.

Even if she met high-level cultivators, there was Zeng Wen helping on the side.

Now Zeng Wen is gone.

It's her turn to shoulder the burden of the Gold Hall alone.

Having to face all kinds of people, a slight mistake is not something she can afford.

It really fulfilled Luo Chen's words, the hardship in it is not for outsiders to know!

I don't know how many times she woke up at night, worried about how to make the business the best tomorrow.

Fortunately!

All this effort is worth it.

He has seen it all.

Not hypocritical words, but sincere praise!

"Everything Caiyi did is what she should do." She has finally been trained, able to control her emotions and say words that are not impolite.

Luo Chen showed a warm smile.

"There is nothing that should or shouldn't be, you did well, naturally you should be rewarded."

"I recently researched a little something that is very beneficial to female cultivators, after closing the shop later, you can try it."

Gu Caiyi blinked her big eyes, showing anticipation.

To be able to let Luo Chen say that it is very beneficial to female cultivators.

I assume it is really effective.

"Danxia Hall, with you watching, I am very at ease. Biyou Valley, for the cultivation of maids, Caiyi, you can go and guide them when you are free..."

As he spoke, Luo Chen's voice gradually weakened.

His gaze stared obliquely outside.

As if, penetrating the doors and windows of the wooden building, he saw a figure standing for a long time outside the street.

"A distinguished guest has arrived!"
