Chapter 35: Imitation
Lu Yao was called to the second floor of the store and saw that his partners had already arrived.
Lu Yao hurriedly found a place to sit down, and at this time Wu Jinfeng said: "In the past few days, we have lost some orders, I asked, because there are some low-level disciples in the sect who have also followed our lunch box business and launched a lunch business, and their price is ten spirit coins lower than ours." Therefore, some disciples who were greedy for cheap went there to order food. â
A low-grade spirit stone is equivalent to a hundred spirit coins, but it is only ten spirit coins lower, which is not much.
Liang Guodong was a little worried and said: "It's just that these are nothing, but what if it takes a long time and the orders are pulled over by them?" â
When Lu Yao heard it, it turned out to be like this. This kind of thing, she had thought of it a long time ago, and this kind of counterfeiting was not uncommon in her previous life.
Zhong Fanya said: "They are just a little lower than us, why don't we also reduce the price, so that they have no advantage, we can win back the hearts of customers." I'm not afraid of losing most of my customers. â
Lu Yao said: "You can't reduce the price, once the price is reduced, you will fall into a price war in the future." That will end up in the realm of losing both. I already thought that this situation would arise. Moreover, there is now a temporary solution. â
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes lit up, Lu Yao really wouldn't let everyone down, he had expected it a long time ago and had a countermeasure.
Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Lu Yao said: "At present, our lunch box is a unified model, and I think those who imitate our lunch box business are also like this, right?" â
Xia Yongming said: "I bought one of them, you can take a look." â
After Lu Yao looked at it, he said: "The lunch box used in their lunch box is a little worse than ours. The food is on par with ours, so it's no wonder it's ten spirit coins lower. Now we don't need to reduce the price, just summarize our lunch box. Divide the contents of the lunch box into 10 flavors. There is spicy, spicy, sweet, slightly sweet, light salty, rich, sour, and so on. In this way, customers can pick and choose, for example, customers like to eat spicy food. â
"In the past, we had all kinds of flavors in our meals. Customers naturally like spicy food, but if it's not spicy, they can't eat it. If you can have a choice and set the spicy flavor directly, then you will have a lot of fun. Moreover, you can change the taste every month, as long as you come to pay the next month's spirit stone, talk to the people in our store, and you're good to go. In this way, you can find one month to eat spicy food and the next month to eat sweet food. If the taste goes up, then there will only be ten spirit coins missing every month, which is really not in the eyes of ordinary disciples. â
It makes a lot of sense. Zhong Fanya understood, she said: "This character who formulates the recipe and classifies it will be handed over to me." I'll make five or six hundred dishes now. It's easy to sort out ten categories. Brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, you are only responsible for recommending new lunch boxes to customers. â
Xia Yongming thought for a while and said: "I estimate that after the introduction of this policy, it can temporarily solve the difficulties of our being exemplary. Not only can you bring back the lost customers, but you can also add some more customers. However, I think it won't be long before those who imitate it will come up with such meals. Then we're going to lose customers again. â
Lu Yao said with a smile: "Ten categories are not so easy to imitate. I think this process may take half a year or even longer. So, we still have half a year to go. Half a year later, we want to be able to increase our strength somewhat, for example, now that you are all fifth-level disciples except for Sister Fanya, you can all fly with swords, or fly with imperial magic weapons, so in the future, don't you just fight ordinary spirit beasts, but also fight some low-level spirit beasts in the Qi training period. The taste of these spirit beasts is better, and the aura is also abundant. â
"Actually, all the spirit beasts used in the big restaurant are spirit beasts that have already begun to cultivate, and even the meat of demon beasts in the knot stage has been taken out and sold. Then we can't get such a big price of spirit beast meat, we can consider replacing it with some spirit beast meat in the Qi cultivation period, however, the price of such a box lunch will increase to five spirit stones a month. In this way, we will be able to attract some high-level outer disciples, even disciples from the foundation building period, to buy our boxed lunches. In this way, even if we lose some customers from the outer disciples, with these high-end customer supplements, it will not affect our total income. â
Everyone thought about it, it was really, Zhang Linghui said: "I can fly with the sword now, I have received a task not long ago, and I will set off with a group of people to Langcang Mountain to collect rainbow honey two days later, there are very many low-level spirit beasts, and these ordinary beasts in our mountains and forests are different, these are spirit beasts that are about the same as our human Qi training period." I'll take care to hunt more and bring it back in a storage bag. â
Xia Yongming said with envy on his face: "You can already go out to do tasks?" It's so enviable. â
Zhang Linghui said embarrassedly: "This mission is all our Sword Hall disciples who go together. There is no danger in Langcang Mountain, the highest-level spirit beast is just a Xuan-level spirit beast, we will go to have a disciple of the foundation building period of the Sword Hall as the leader this time, so there is no danger. It can also be regarded as the Sword Hall giving our Qi Level 5 cultivators a chance to practice. â
Xia Yongming said: "I really want to have such an opportunity to practice, but it's a pity that our formation hall stipulates that you must reach the eighth level of qi training when you go out to work, when will I have to wait?" â
Lin Haichang said coldly: "The Law Decision Hall has to practice Qi at the seventh level. â
Zhang Linghui said with some pride: "Our Sword Hall must be different, we have to sharpen in life and death in order to grow." Therefore, every year, the Sword Hall has the most tasks. Of course, as a sword cultivator, the loss rate is also the highest. â
Zhong Fanya's face changed and she hurriedly said, "Brother Linghui, you are about to go out to do a task, don't say these unlucky words." â
Zhang Linghui smiled.
Liang Guodong said: "We refiners don't like to go out, and if there is a need, just go directly to the task to purchase ore." â
Lu Yao looked at everyone and went off topic, and also followed the crooked building and said, "What is a mysterious beast?" â
Everyone laughed, and Wu Jinfeng said quickly: "It seems that Sister Yao has not yet taken the course of the primary class of breeding." There are two kinds of special existence zĂ i in our cultivation realm, well, it can't be said that there are three special existence zĂ i in addition to the human race. One is a spirit animal with low intelligence. These are collectively referred to as mammals. The ordinary ones are called small beasts. That's what we've been hunting for a while. These little beasts also have a little aura, which is better than the pigs and cows in the mortal world, but they don't have much effect. â
"Once these beasts begin to know how to cultivate, they will become spirit beasts in the Qi cultivation period, they will be spirit beasts, they will be Xuan beasts in the foundation building period, they will be venerable beasts in the Yudan period, they will be king beasts in the Yuan Infant stage, they will be emperor-level spirit beasts in the incarnation period, and the highest will be holy beasts in the tribulation period. However, these beasts, even holy beasts, cannot incarnate into human form, but they can become bigger and smaller. â
"There is also a special kind, and we also have a lot of Shangqing faction, that is, demons. Demons are different from beasts, they are born to freely switch between human and animal forms. They can also cultivate like us, or even better than ours, because they are all gifted in their bloodline. For example, among our twelve Great Elders in the Incarnation Period, one of them is the Wind Elder of Taihao Zhenren, and he is from the Jinpeng Clan. Born with a wind-attribute bloodline, and proficient in runes. And among the three Great Elders of the Tribulation Period in our sect, the only female cultivator is Ziyue Zhenren Shui Lan, who is the royal family of the Heavenly Fox Clan. It is said to be extremely beautiful. â
"The last type of people is the demons. We also have the Shangqing faction. Among the great elders in the incarnation period, one of them is also a female cultivator, Yang Qianhui, a real person of the Five Demons, and she is a demon cultivator. â
Lu Yao couldn't help but be very fascinated, in his previous life, he only saw demons on TV, of course, those were played by actors, there are really demons in this world, I really want to see them with my own eyes.
Xia Yongming said: "Actually, in our entire cultivation realm, the most are not our human race, nor the demon race, nor the demon race, but the most are spirit beasts. They occupy all the famous mountains and rivers and are very powerful. However, they don't have spiritual intelligence, or they have relatively little spiritual intelligence, so they are the hunting objects of our human, demon, and demon races. â
"Ordinary little beasts are not of much help to cultivation. At most, the taste is better than that of ordinary mortal chickens, ducks, pigs and cows. However, spirit beasts, mystical beasts, and even more advanced beasts have various functions. For example, some can refine weapons, some can practice formations, some can draw talismans, and some can enhance cultivation while eating. â
Lu Yao asked: "Then our three clans all hunt beasts, will they be exterminated?" "In previous lives, because of human hunting, many animals were extinct, and there was no way but to set up some associations and make laws to protect animals.
Wu Jinfeng smiled and said, "How can it be extinct? The beasts breed very quickly, and if there is no hunting for our three races, I am afraid that this world will be occupied by them. â
Well, this era is different from my previous life. There is no need to protect animals here. The animals here are very powerful.
Lu Yao saw that the crooked building had reached a certain point, so he had to bring everyone's topic back and say: "In addition to these changes to the box lunch, we have some things that can be changed. For example, we can add medicinal diets. Sister Fanya and Sister Jinfeng may be familiar with this aspect, and some elixirs taste good, as well as good nourishing and increasing the effect of strength, which can also be added to the lunch box. Aren't all the restaurants using spirit grass, spirit flowers, and spirit medicine into the dishes? We can too, but at a higher price. It's all about attracting high-end customers. â
"In addition to these, I have another business that I want to discuss with you."
When everyone heard that there was still a way to make money, they were all excited and hurriedly asked, "What method?" â
