Chapter 42:Slave Market
A week later, Wang Teng's shop next to the Heaven Dou Grand Auction House was renovated.
Upon receiving the notification, Wang Teng brought Natya to the shop.
Looking at the brand-new shop, Wang Teng nodded in satisfaction.
Although Douluo Continent had not greatly developed technology, the renovations were not bad; in some places, they were even quite luxurious, not inferior to his previous life.
After paying the renovation team, the shop could officially open for business.
The ground floor, with its large area, was perfect for selling goods, while the second floor could serve as a dormitory for employees.
Wang Teng planned to make Natya the shop manager; after all, they were selling valuable goods, and without an expert to oversee things, it really wouldn't work. It would be bad if they were robbed.
However, employees still needed to be hired. After all, Natya was a Titled Douluo; he couldn't possibly make her a direct salesperson!
Wang Teng was not a black-hearted capitalist, so he naturally wouldn't do that.
It's just, where to find employees now?
Immediately, Wang Teng thought of the Slave Market.
That's right, the Slave Market.
Although Wang Teng disliked the corrupt aristocrats of the Heaven Dou Empire, he had to admit that the Slave Market did have some good stock.
No matter what industry, talents could be found in the Slave Market, and there were even slaves who had become Spirit Masters.
The talents in the Slave Market were all professionally trained, with excellent mastery of their industry skills.
Immediately, Wang Teng took Natya to the Slave Market.
It wasn't the small, dark room Wang Teng had envisioned; after all, in Wang Teng's view, slaves ate spoiled food and lived in dirty, messy conditions.
However, Wang Teng didn't know about the Slave Markets in other cities, but in Heaven Dou City, the Slave Market before him was splendidly decorated.
Indeed, those who came to buy slaves here were wealthy patrons; if the environment was poor, no one would come.
Moreover, some experts had bad tempers; if a patron became displeased and tore down the Slave Market, there would be nowhere to cry.
For example, if Natya were to demolish this Slave Market, the boss behind it would definitely not seek out Natya; instead, he would have the person in charge here executed, to avoid displeasing a Titled Douluo expert.
Upon entering the Slave Market, a well-dressed middle-aged man immediately approached.
"Young Master, Miss, how may I help you?"
Clearly, Wang Teng and Natya's attire was not bad; they looked like benefactors at first glance.
"You are?"
"My name is Qian Duoduo, and I am one of the supervisors of the Slave Market. If the two guests have any needs, why not tell me?"
This Supervisor Qian was clearly very polite.
"Qian Duoduo? Do you have a lot of money?"
Wang Teng was curious. Were there still names like this these days? Was he very rich?
"Uh~, I am just an employee; I just hope to have a lot of money in the future."
"Alright, I need a few attendants."
"No problem, please follow me, esteemed guests, and rest in the VIP room first!"
"Mm~, alright! But I don't want old attendants, and only females, preferably pretty ones."
Wang Teng thought to himself that he wasn't short on money; after all, whether it was recovery potions or spirit tools, it was a highly profitable business, and the appearance of the sales staff couldn't be substandard.
Sure enough, the person who had arrived was definitely a benefactor! Qian Duoduo once again admired his own judgment; he could tell at a glance that Wang Teng was a young tycoon.
Afterward, Qian Duoduo led Wang Teng and Natya to a VIP room, instructed the maid nearby to serve tea, and then went out to bring people.
Not long after, Qian Duoduo came in with a group of beautiful Misses.
However, it seemed that all of them were fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, each with sweet looks and alluring figures. Were these the proper sales staff he wanted?
Clearly, Qian Duoduo had misunderstood, thinking Wang Teng was here to buy warming-bed maids!
"Young Master, these are our highest-grade maids! Each of them has a special skill!"
As he spoke, he even winked at Wang Teng.
"..."
Wang Teng's face instantly darkened. He was looking for sales staff, not girls.
"I'm looking for sales staff. What kind of mess did you bring me?"
"Uh~!"
Qian Duoduo was stunned; it turned out he had misunderstood! This young master wasn't here to find girls, but with his rich experience, he immediately covered it up for Wang Teng.
"Young Master, these are sales staff! Don't look at their young age; if they are competent as sales staff, they are absolutely first-rate!"
There was no other way; Qian Duoduo could only reply like this.
Otherwise, if he revealed his original thoughts, would he be beaten? After all, looking at Natya, who had been silent beside him, he, as a Spirit King level Spirit Master, couldn't see through her, so she was clearly an expert.
"Oh? Really?"
"Of course, it's true. Young Master can go out and ask around; I, Qian Duoduo, am the most honest!"
"Mm~, alright then. This one, this one... and this one, I'll take them."
Looking at the group of beautiful Misses before him, Wang Teng directly selected five who best fit his aesthetic, and kept them.
Subsequently, in the VIP room, only Wang Teng, Natya, Qian Duoduo, and the five Misses about to be bought by Wang Teng remained.
"How is the price calculated?"
After taking a sip of tea, Wang Teng found it quite good, and asked Qian Duoduo lightly.
"Ten thousand gold coins each!"
Qian Duoduo held up an index finger.
"Uh, are you treating this young master as a fat sheep?"
Wang Teng was almost half-dead with anger. Good heavens, he really thought he was a fat sheep? Ten thousand gold coins each, why didn't you say one hundred thousand each?
One must know that on Douluo Continent, one gold coin was enough for an ordinary family to live for several months!
Although Wang Teng was not short on money, and five hundred thousand gold coins was not out of his reach, he also didn't want to be slaughtered like a fat sheep.
"No, absolutely not! This is the cost price!"
Qian Duoduo swore to the heavens. Although this wasn't the cost price, as a capitalist, he always had to quote high, otherwise, there wouldn't be much room for negotiation later.
"Natya!"
Wang Teng didn't plan to argue with Qian Duoduo anymore. This was a complete extortion. He nudged Natya, signaling her to show some strength, otherwise, wouldn't he be completely taken advantage of?
Furthermore, appropriately displaying strength also had its benefits.
After all, in the future, doing highly profitable business in Heaven Dou City would definitely attract the covetous eyes of various forces. Displaying Titled Douluo level strength would also make some malicious entities properly weigh their strength, whether they could afford to provoke him.
Wang Teng also didn't want to constantly put on a show of pretending to be weak and then slapping faces; he wasn't into that.
Seeing Wang Teng's signal, Natya naturally understood. She directly released her aura, and nine dazzling spirit rings bloomed around her body.
"Go, call the head here, and see how many gold coins he charges me!"
It must be said that at this moment, Wang Teng put on a good show.
The impression was overwhelming.
