Chapter 64: Go Bigger
Chapter 64
Shen Feixian's plan was simple, to capitalize on strengths and avoid weaknesses.
Bring out the strengths of the sect disciples and use those strengths to earn money.
Disciples who crossed over from the cultivation world mostly have stronger physiques than ordinary people here, taking them to construction sites to move bricks, carry buckets, and do some hard labor is no problem at all.
These disciples are miscellaneous disciples, but they are also reserve members for future inner sect disciples, they can also become pillars of the sect.
Doing some miscellaneous chores outside, they just have slightly inferior spiritual roots, cultivated a bit slower.
But here it's different, no need for cultivation here!
So Shen Feixian sorted out everyone's strengths, prepared to send them to work categorized.
This can not only solve food issues, but also solve their psychological problems. Shen Feixian has read quite a few books on mental health recently.
Unable to cultivate and be in seclusion here, staying home everyday would be problematic.
For this, Shen Feixian asked around, asking which construction sites pay wages daily. But the news he got was not very ideal, very few pay daily wages, most pay monthly, and many require ID cards!
Modern construction sites, mostly use large machinery to complete construction, replacing manpower with machinery, requiring fewer workers.
Just doing physical labor would be a waste of brainpower, and more importantly a waste of martial arts they practiced for years.
So after careful consideration, Shen Feixian felt they still have to rely on their skills to make a living.
For example, lion dances, sword dances!
"Junior sister, our company is actually a cultural company related to sports! For example, places that require martial arts performances, if customers have requirements, we can perform! We also have martial arts specialty classes! Want to learn swordsmanship, we can teach you hands-on! We can also provide sect members as bodyguards..." Shen Feixian started to boast.
The things Shen Feixian mentioned earlier were still pretty reliable, the later stuff was completely unreliable.
"Senior brother, lion dances are generally only done during holidays and shop opening ceremonies, not very popular in Y City here, shop openings people usually just send flower baskets=. Holidays are only half a month, can't develop the market." In the city, there are also many martial arts specialty classes, but nowadays parents prefer their children to go to cram schools..."
The charm of Qingyun Sect’s swordsmanship lies in riding the sword in a very cool flying manner, other uses are pretty ordinary, on par with other ordinary sects, just for sparring.
For bodyguards, qualifications and certificates are still reviewed, some bodyguard positions require college degrees and fluency in a foreign language. In short, few people would hire undocumented bodyguards.
These can only be side jobs, can't compare to full time jobs.
As she spoke, Song Jixing glanced at the certificate section of the document, curious about their origins.
"Senior brother, where did these certificates come from?" Song Jixing asked.
Shen Feixian still had a gentle smile in his eyes: "I signed up for you, learned for you! Just sign, these certificates are yours, useful when opening the company!"
Song Jixing didn't dare move at all.
Under Shen Feixian’s repeated requests, Song Jixing eventually signed some company registration contracts and documents, and agreed to go with him to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to apply for certificates tomorrow.
After signing the contract, Shen Feixian happily put the contract in the drawer, “Junior sister, today is a good day, I'll go cook to celebrate!”
Since his debut, meals at home have been mostly cooked by Shen Feixian.
Huo Ling’er was still teaching Kong Daniu to play soccer in the yard, although Kong Daniu learned very slowly, Huo Ling’er was a very patient teacher, constantly encouraging him.
Song Jixing stared at the two for a moment, then said, “Senior brother, have you considered running a soccer training class?”
The men's team may not be good, but there are too many soccer enthusiasts.
Upon hearing Song Jixing's words, Shen Feixian knew business opportunities had come, he put down his cartoon apron and came over to listen carefully, "Junior sister, tell me in detail.”
Compared to Shen Feixian’s ideas of opening martial arts classes and working outside to earn money, Song Jixing proposed two more sensible and suitable projects.
One, open a football class to teach children to play football.
Two, shoot some martial arts videos and post them to online accounts. After gaining a large following, besides promoting the company, money can also be made from the videos.
The former has a more stable source of income, the target audience is local children, easier to recruit. Children first, set an opening day, if able to put together a class, can rent out more rooms here and clear out some open space for the kids to practice.
After listening to Song Jixing’s words, Shen Feixian deeply agreed.
He has been here for a shorter period and doesn’t understand this world well enough, junior sister is worthy of being junior sister after all.
Shen Feixian looked at Song Jixing expectantly, “Junior sister, whatever you say, I'll listen to you!”
Why does he have to listen to everything she says?
She was just making suggestions, not the one wanting to start the company!
But for the sake of these outer sect disciples' livelihood issues, Song Jixing once again shouldered the heavy responsibility.
Opening special interest classes is no easy task, recruiting people is even harder.
For this, Song Jixing thought of a scene she had seen on TV shows before.
- School Raid
Find same type specialty classes, smash up their place, no no, go defeat the students there!
"...Look up the soccer hobby classes in the city tomorrow, can bring Huo Ling'er to try them out, see which class is suitable. Then have Huo Ling'er defeat all of them..." Song Jixing said in a tone of justified guilt.
Shen Feixian sat there tapping away at the keyboard, nodding while taking notes.
"...Can buy a camera to shoot some martial arts videos to post on online accounts. When a lot of people are watching, besides promoting the company, can also make some money from the videos."
"The target audience for interest classes should be local children, easier to recruit locals. Enroll the children first, set an opening day, if able to form a class, can rent out more rooms here and clear some open space for the kids to practice."
As Song Jixing thought through this, she felt like she was explaining how to commit a crime.
After Shen Feixian wrote all this down, some plans were finalized.
“I’ll prepare the camera and edit videos, I know how. The open space here is still a bit small. Oh right, junior sister, I heard the open space beside the steel factory is available for rent. If we have enough funds, why not rent it to build dorms? And a sports field?" Shen Feixian asked.
Song Jixing suddenly raised her head, for a time unsure how to respond to her senior brother's question.
Does senior brother intend to expand the sect here?
If unable to return for good, it's also fine.
"School buildings also require separate permits." Song Jixing said calmly.
There is already enough things registered under her name, even without one more building.
Shen Feixian smiled, “Let me check out some preparations, then I'll have to trouble junior sister to accompany me to run around more then.”
Finally, Song Jixing supplemented some key issues as a reminder to Shen Feixian, “Senior brother, if building, need to hire workers and wait for completion. If recruiting students, can't wait that long to start classes.”
“I also considered that, don't worry junior sister! I asked them already, quite a few of them know how to construct buildings, work fast with great strength, I'm sure they can complete it quickly! No need to pay wages, can save a lot.”
After listening to all this, Song Jixing didn't know whether to be amazed that fellow sect members are so multi-talented, or that senior brother is quite shrewd.
