Like everyone else, Qi Wenhan was very interested in all of these new things that the secular world had brought up. He walked left and right in high spirits.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, followed behind him with a helpless expression. A dignified mid-stage Golden Elixir expert was actually shopping in the secular world's department stores on this Heavenly Island. Just thinking about it made one drunk.
What made one even more speechless was that these common goods that could be found everywhere in the secular world could be sold for a sky-high price. Moreover, there were so many people fighting to buy them. The business was so good that it was unreasonable.
Lin Yi made a rough estimate. Just by following Qi Wenhan around, the turnover had already reached the scale of tens of thousands of spiritual jades. It was almost comparable to the income of his Tiandan Pavilion in an entire day!
One had to know that in Tiandan Pavilion, he was selling top-grade elixirs. In the end, they could not even compare to these secular department stores in the central chamber of commerce. Such a result really made one not know whether to laugh or cry.
In terms of actual value, any top-grade elixir from Tiandan Pavilion was enough to buy an entire street of secular department stores. It could only be said that the rarer something was, the greater its value. This old saying was really true.
Lin Yi and Qi Wenhan chatted as they shopped. Although the latter showed great interest in these secular department stores, it was basically out of curiosity. There were very few things that could really catch his eye.
As the young master of the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, Qi Wenhan had received elite training from a young age. He was a typical example of this. These people did not lack the heroic spirit to spend a lot of money, but at the same time, they had extraordinary self-control.
If he randomly saw a new thing and was tempted to spend money like dirt, no matter how rich his family's wealth was, there would come a time when it would be squandered. If that happened, Qi Wenhan would not be an elite, but a pure prodigal son. Qi Mingyuan would not be at ease to hand over such a large Heaven's Equal Escort Agency to him.
Novelty was novelty, but these things were obviously just for fun. However, there wasn't much practical value in it. Qi Wenhan was just looking at it for novelty. If he really bought it, it could only mean one thing. He was out of his mind.
Anyone with the slightest bit of ambition would not spend a large amount of Spiritual Jades on some playthings. Instead of spending money on these useless things, it would be better to buy some treasures related to cultivation, whether it was pills or weapons. Any one of them was much more practical than these secular goods.
The two of them strolled around the first floor. After sighing in admiration, they turned around and went to the second floor. However, compared to the bustling first floor, the second floor was obviously much more deserted. Lin Yi looked around and found that the second floor did not sell the signature secular department stores of the Central Chamber of Commerce. Instead, it sold a variety of natural treasures and rare elixirs.
"Hehe. Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh. Things that are used to attract people's attention are selling so well, but the real good things are actually not being sold. "
"That's right. It seems that this central chamber of commerce is quite ambitious." Qi Wenhan was also a sensible person. He nodded in agreement.
The Central Chamber of Commerce's strategy was very clear. They would use the secular department stores to create a huge gimmick and public opinion to attract everyone over. However, it was not willing to do so.
Natural treasures were the main products of the large chambers of commerce, and they were also on this Heavenly Island. The most marketable items could be popular for a while by relying on novelty, but it could not be so popular forever.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see this. Naturally, the Central Chamber of Commerce also knew this. Therefore, it had to quickly transform into a mainstream top chamber of commerce while the secular department stores were still able to attract attention, and even become a true giant.
Although there weren't many people buying these natural treasures for the time being, the Central Chamber of Commerce had to make up for it. Not only did it have to make up for it, but it also had to make it better than the other chambers of commerce. Only then could it truly stand firm and prosper in the long run.
What surprised Lin Yi was that he actually saw quite a few rare natural treasures on the second floor. Even the Hong Chamber of Commerce rarely saw them. It could be seen that although the Central Chamber of Commerce had risen overnight, its foundation was incomparably deep. Ordinary chambers of commerce could not compare at all.
No matter how it developed in the future, if it continued like this, it would definitely be able to occupy a place on the Heavenly Island. It might not be the number one, but it would definitely be among the top three without a doubt.
"This Central Chamber of Commerce is really aggressive and full of ambition." Lin Yi smiled noncommittally. His gaze swept back and forth between the extremely rare natural treasures, but he had no intention of buying them.
Although these things were rare, they were not like the Star Ink Milk or the Ten Thousand Crossing Golden Core Fruit, which could be used by everyone. Their uses were relatively simple. If it wasn't for some special circumstances, not only would they not be used for the time being, they might not even be used in the future.
Lin Yi was only slightly interested. However, when Qi Wenhan, who was beside him, saw these things, his eyes immediately lit up. As the Young Master of the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, his experience was not something that an ordinary person could compare to. Of course, he could tell what the truly good things were.
"Waiter, bring this Sky Snow Vine down for me to take a look." Qi Wenhan immediately extended his hand and beckoned a waiter over. He pointed at one of the items with great enthusiasm. He would not buy the common goods on the first floor, but if this was a truly good item, he would not hesitate to spend more spirit jades.
Lin Yi smiled and strolled around by himself. He had originally wanted to wait for Qi Wenhan, but seeing that he was chatting enthusiastically with the waiter, he did not disturb him. He turned around and walked to the third floor.
Compared to the bustling first floor, there were already very few people on the second floor. However, the third floor was practically empty!
Lin Yi was a little surprised as he sized up the place. He realized that there were no display racks, but rather luxurious and elegant private rooms. It seemed like a place for people to chat and rest. Those clients who did large business should be discussing with the central chamber of commerce's manager in this place. However, why was there not a single person here? Wasn't business booming downstairs?
One could not blame Lin Yi for guessing this way. Any normal person would have the same thought. After all, everything the chamber of commerce did was to trade with people. However, what Lin Yi did not expect was that this central chamber of commerce was a little different from the other large chambers of commerce that he had seen before.
Although the second floor was deserted, there were at least some customers. However, there was not a single customer on the third floor. There was only one reason for this. This place was not open to the public. No one was allowed to enter without permission!
Normally, the entrance to the staircase was guarded. Moreover, those who frequented the central chamber of commerce all knew this rule. Normally, they would not gather here, let alone go up to the third floor without permission.
However, in the past few days, because the South Continent Escort Agency Grand Assembly was about to be held here, it had attracted a large number of outsiders. As a result, the already bustling central chamber of commerce's business became even more lively. Floating Astronomy.
