09980 - delicious taste

After hearing my evaluation of him as the weakest, Yu Nuo asked slowly: "So, am I still lucky enough to taste the celestial fruit?"

I looked at a big cat that came to Yaofeng to play, and said to it: "Beat Yu Nuo until he is healthy, and I will give you a bowl of food."

The big cat at the peak of Jindan didn't hesitate to pounce on Yu Nuo, whose current mobility is probably only at the Foundation Establishment level—sincerely, he didn't even ask what level the food I gave him was.

Yu Nuo weakly uttered sounds such as "Ouch", "Ah" and "Uh", and was held down by the big cat's paws, whipped by its tail, and buried in the snow from time to time.

After 10 minutes, Yu Nuo began to fight back against the big cat.After another 10 minutes, the two sides fought back and forth, and the big cat's attitude towards Yu Nuo changed from playing with plush balls to catching mice.

Before they were seriously injured, I yelled to stop, took out a pot of meat and pushed it towards the big cat.

The big cat has no problem with the interruption of the fight, but is a little disappointed with the meat: "It's from the cafeteria."

This is the snack tree I got from the cafeteria when I was a double.There is no special reason for choosing this, it is just to maintain the image of my young master, not doing business, and remembering that one thing is one thing, the snack tree dummy often does some small things that outsiders seem to be inexplicable.When more inexplicable things happen to "me", the public will not be surprised by all my behaviors.

This has expanded my freedom of movement.

Me: "Are you still dissatisfied with giving you free food?"

Big Cat: "Where is it free? I have paid so much labor."

Do cat fights count as labor?I grabbed a few ethereal fruits and put them on top of the meat: "Are you curious about this?"

The big cat rolled its tongue and ate up the empty spirit fruit, and said, "Yes, it tastes delicious at first glance. Actually, I have already seen that Pei Lin who was active outside before is a dummy, because it doesn't smell good."

I:"……"

Big Cat: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't want to eat you, what I want to eat is the food you made. Return this pot of meat to you, and give me a plate of kongling fruit."

Me: "Spiritual Fruit is a new product, and its specific effects are still uncertain."

Big Cat: "I volunteer to be your test subject. If you can't even open up to eat more at the peak of Jindan, the market for your empty spirit fruit will be very limited."

What does limitation matter?A single one is expensive enough.How can the positioning of Yuanying-level things be "eat a lot"?Go on a "only taste once in a while" plan.

09981-Eight Disciples, Six Disciples

I took back the meat and gave the big cat a small plate of ten ethereal fruits, and the big cat ate it up in one bite.

My eighth apprentice, Niu Tan, disliked it: "Niu Tan chews peonies."

Niu Tan is good at cooking, growing flowers, making food with flowers, and is even better at writing long comments on a delicious dish.

The big cat took a look at Niutan, and also showed disgust - because the spirit beasts all thought that Niutan was very troublesome to eat, and they talked a lot without eating a few mouthfuls, which greatly delayed their appetite.

Oh, no, I accepted Niu Tan as an apprentice not because of her chatter, but because of her sword spirit with flowers, that is, when swinging the sword, there will be phantoms of flowers and petals, and when swinging the sword on the snow mountain, it can also condense the shape of flowers Ice sculptures have a special relationship with me.

And there's nothing wrong with writing long reviews about food.Niutan's writing style is excellent, and what he writes is very appetizing, and it can play a good role in publicity.If Yunxiazong is interested in running a restaurant, Niu Tan is definitely an indispensable talent.

——Of course, she writes while eating, and reads while writing. When she reads, she is very emotional, which somewhat hinders the eating emotions of the people at the same table.

After the big cat left in disgust, some little spirit beasts with low cultivation bases also looked at the Kong Lingguo.

I told them in unison: "You can't eat it until you figure out the situation of the ethereal fruit."

My sixth apprentice, Gui Sai, also looked at the little spirit beasts and said: "Even if it proves that the kongling fruit is harmless to almost all living things like the Tongming fruit, I can't let you eat it for nothing. You have to pay some money for snacks, right?" ?”

Little Spirit Beast: "We didn't take advantage of you. Every time we came to Yaofeng to play, we paid for the tickets."

Gui Sai: "It was only after beating you many times that you established the awareness to pay obediently. Whenever you have time, you rely on your cuteness and want to get free. Now that the peak master has changed from a dummy to a real person, Did you immediately change your mind again, thinking that you have another chance to get free food?"

Little Spirit Beast: "Hmph, stingy humans."

As my sixth apprentice, my understanding of the sword repair profession is so-so, but I am really good at making money.Before he came to Yaofeng, the reason why Yaofeng was able to live comfortably was because I was rich; after he came, Yaofeng lived a comfortable life because he could make money with money.

In fact, I deeply feel that Gui Sai is too talented to come to Yaofeng, and even he is not good enough to work in the financial department or trading department of Yunxiazong. He should actually go to Jianzong.Maybe under his leadership, the contemporary Jianzong can go from poverty to prosperity.

09982 - private road

Guisai’s way of making money is not to develop products or resell materials by himself, but to fully explore the specialties of the brothers, sisters and masters he can manage—of course, there are also juniors and sisters later—and then plan the most profitable treatment for these specialties channel.

For example, Lian Yanyan started selling clothes to make money very early, but she was not very happy in finding buyers. Either the price was lowered, or the buyer's requirements for clothes made Lian Yanyan not easy.And after Guisai took over the sales, Lian Yanyan can always get in touch with high-quality customers who will inspire her production and be generous.

Another example is that Pei Wuyao often kills monsters, but when he disposes of the corpses of monsters, he often throws them to the official trading office of Yunxiazong. Occasionally, he will open an online shop for a few days when he is interested, but it may be because a certain disciple came to inquire about a certain part of the monster. He chatted too happily with the disciple when he bought the price, so he sold the part at a low price by the way—if he didn’t give it away, he still remembered that he was opening a shop.

Of course, after Gui Sai took over the job of selling monster corpses, he would not be so casual.

The purchase price of waste products at the official trading office is absolutely unacceptable. Pei Wuyao can continue to chat if he wants to chat with customers, but the content of the chat can be regarded as enriching the background story of the monster, which belongs to the value-added part, which means that it will increase the price of the product.But after the price increase, customers will feel satisfied that they can understand the monster better after hearing the story, and can better handle the material of the monster. They are very happy to pay more, and feel ashamed that they are not sincere enough if they pay less.

My Tongmingguo, ice sculpture trinkets, spiritual energy converter and other products are all transferred to Guisai for unified processing.He still borrowed the official sales channel of Yunxia Sect, but adjusted the sales method. I don't understand the specific adjustment logic. Anyway, the result is: the total sales of each product per year has decreased, and the total amount these products bring to me The income has increased, and buyers generally report that the price of my products is getting more and more affordable.

Guisai's explanation for this is: "It's actually very simple. I just rectified the middleman market. Crack down on middlemen and let Master's products be sold directly to real customers who actually need them. Let the money that was originally earned by middlemen Part of the profit belongs to us, and part of it goes to customers, and everyone is happy—the middlemen cry and don’t care about them, they are parasites that do not generate value, and it doesn’t matter if they are eliminated.”

So, how did you rectify the crackdown?Although Gui Sai can borrow some channels, he can't call on many people, and he doesn't hold a post in the management department of Yunxia Sect, so at most he can call on a small number of brothers and sisters for personal help.

Guisai: "The government has official methods, and the folks have their own way. Some things are very difficult for the government to come forward, but it is easy for private people to get through. Personally, I don't like to walk in the official way. It feels too restrictive. I prefer Take the small path. Of course, I guarantee that it is a small path that does not violate the general principle, and I am willing to cooperate with the government frequently and complement each other."

Head Jiang said to me: "You, the sixth apprentice, are an excellent local snake."

How to speak?

09983-Self-recommended

Head Jiang further explained: "When Gui Sai has delineated a territory, he will be able to eat quickly in that territory. He started from Yaofeng, and took the things produced by your master and apprentice as clues, and laid out Opened his site network. Then, as long as your products are sold and popular, he can establish his influence. Now he is only using this influence to make money. In the future... If he If he is ambitious enough, he can establish a sect."

Head Jiang: "It's a pity that Gui Sai's ambition doesn't seem to go well. He doesn't even have any obsession with money. He just feels uncomfortable when he sees someone selling high-value items at a low price. Only when he sells the goods he thinks is appropriate He can sleep and eat well because of the price tag. This obsessive-compulsive disorder is too easy to be exploited, and he cannot be a hegemon."

You are enough for the careerists I am familiar with. If Gui Sai is too like you, Xiao Sui may withhold things from Gui Sai to help me sell them——Anyway, I am really not short of money.

Guisai is not the apprentice I took the initiative to pick, he is a self-recommended one.It was after entering the inner sect that Gui Sai sent me a long letter, which explained in detail why he was suitable to be my apprentice. I was persuaded by him, so he became my apprentice.

The core of Guisai's persuasive reasons is: "With the increase in the number of your apprentices, Yaofeng will inevitably need managers. Of course, there are many people with management skills in Yunxiazong, who have management skills and are willing to worship you There are probably quite a few people who are teachers, but is Yaofeng really suitable for the well-organized management style of the main peak and the official department?"

Gui Sai: "I don't practice management, and I won't manage Yaofeng in an all-round way. I just want to manage the only line of 'money'. I think as long as this line is smooth, with Yaofeng's size, you can There will be no big troubles. And because only this line is [-]% stable, the others are still free to play by everyone, so there will be no sense of restraint."

In the long letter, Gui Sai also stated the reason why he chose Yaofeng to exert his desire to manage money: "I only want to manage money, not people, so I hope that in the territory I manage, the more money the better, the better the people." The less the better. Yaofeng is the most suitable for several times of Yunxia Sect, or even the whole cultivation world."

Gui Sai: "If you only talk about the ratio of money to people, senior Pei, you only accept me as an apprentice, which is my ideal state. However, with my qualifications, if I rashly try to intervene in your product sales, many people will definitely not buy it. So I start with the products of the senior brothers and sisters, and after the public recognizes my financial management ability, I will take over popular products such as Tongmingguo, which will be more logical."

Gui Sai: "Senior brothers and sisters—and future brothers and sisters—are all training materials for me to provide the best service to you, Master."
