As he spoke, the guard took a pocket from his bosom and slammed it onto the table. In an instant, ten glittering gold coins appeared in front of the poison needle's eyes.

"But if you still don't let these civilians who are in the way leave, insisting that our lord's privacy is not as important as letting these townsfolk watch, then when we make the wrong choice, we won't come to your guild to entrust anything in the future!"

In the face of these ten glittering gold coins, the poison needle was obviously a little embarrassed. After all, all day today, so many townspeople have entrusted so much work back and forth, at best, it is only seven or eight silver coins.

He looked at the group in front of him, then at the townsfolk on the side, at the gold coins, and finally at the Mermaid Song Guild members over there.

Suddenly, he saw that the mermaid president was now looking at the group with a very expectant gaze, especially at the old man. That look was like an expression that I couldn't wait for the honey jar to refuse immediately, and then invite these people to my guild and eat them alive!

(Mermaid Song wants to take the high-end boutique route?) Then we will cut off his financial means, and we will definitely not be able to satisfy him. ）

In an instant, Viscount Norris's words came to mind in the mind of the poison needle. After thinking of this sentence, the poison needle is also very sure of his work goals and made up his mind.

"Rest assured, we will meet any expectation!"

Having made up his mind, Poison Needle immediately summoned all the guild members and waiters to begin persuading the townsfolk who had stayed in the guild to return. Such persuasion naturally aroused the disgust of the townspeople, but even so, he made up his mind to continue to operate in this way.

"Alright, alright! Thank you all for stopping by today! Please leave as soon as possible, tomorrow! If you have any work requests, please continue tomorrow! Thank you! ”

The townspeople muttered, and no matter how bright the poison needle was smiling now, the expressions on people's faces were very disdainful.

Soon, the poison needle walked up to Arrow, stretched out his hand and pointed to the door, and said with the appearance of a victor: "Okay, please leave." It's a shame that I didn't meet your hopes, President Merfolk. ”

The corners of Arrow's mouth twitched visibly, and he stood up and snorted, "Does that boss look rich?" President Poison Needle, I wonder if we can work together-"

"Please leave immediately! I don't think you want me to be rough on this side, do you? ”

was directly eaten a closed door, and there was no choice but to be kicked out of the guild gate of the honey jar with those townspeople. When Brad, who was walking at the back, stepped out of the door, the guild slammed shut, completely isolating the inside from the outside.

"What! What kind of honey pot guild is this, the name sounds quite sweet, but why is the behavior so disgusting?! ”

Leaving the guild, the townsfolk finally couldn't take it anymore and shouted loudly.

Someone starts to express dissatisfaction, then immediately more people start to heckle after that.

"That's it! I hate the poor and love the rich! After all, I still think that our work is not profitable! ”

"What high-end boutique route? This is the so-called high-end boutique route? Hum! ”

"Speaking of which, this honey jar is not from our town, and sure enough, only the mermaid song is a part of our town. President Arrow, are you right? It's also so infuriating! ”

"That's right! If it were President Arrow, he would never do such a thing that despises our lack of money. It's really infuriating! ”

In the midst of the crowd, Iero just smiled at the townsfolk and tried to speak as little as possible. If some people scolded him harshly, he would instead open his mouth to comfort him, saying that the reason why his guild was opened was completely for the sake of the residents of the town, and that money was the best way to make money, and if he didn't make money, he would laugh and laugh.

Such a speech naturally attracted the unanimous welcome of the townspeople, and everyone laughed heartily, and you said a word and I praised each other. It wasn't until the sun was about to set that the crowd dispersed and went home.

Arrow and the guild members also returned to the Mermaid Song, and along the way, Arrow walked in front with his hands behind his back. Coco in the back, Parfay and Brad saw that Arrow didn't look like they wanted to talk, and they also chatted by themselves.

"Anyway, we've finally got a little bit of prestige back now, right? After that, there will be some townspeople who will entrust us with our work, right? ”

"I don't know...... But it should be. Brother will find a way. Big man, you said the same, we're more or less recovering a little bit of prestige now. The only pity is that the money was not earned...... Ten gold coins! I don't know how much pity the president's brother feels in his heart......"

"Money, you can make it again! Coco, Brad, you have to work hard in the future! Be sure to work harder! I'll also work hard to learn forest magic! When the time comes, we'll make more money! ”

The three of you talked about each other, and after talking about the topic of the guild for a few sentences, the direction of the chat began to deviate. It becomes something delicious and fun in the town, and the boss of the pudding has brought in some new fabric, which can cut beautiful clothes.

Although Arrow, who was walking in front, did not speak, he also listened secretly. After hearing that the spirit of his members was already very strong, he was relieved.

Then, when everyone returned to the guild and pushed open the door......

"Yo, you're back?"

Cream, the Assassin was now sitting in his seat with a smug face, smiling at the crowd as they returned.

"Thief! You're back! Where have you been these days? The president won't tell us! ”

Seeing Cream come back, Coco stretched out her hand and shook it, and ran over with a grin and sat down across from him—

"Isn't it going to venture somewhere again? Is there any nice and interesting cow that you can brag to me? ”

Cream pretended to be disgusted and waved at Coco: "Go, go, what do you mean to blow one to you?" This time, I'm going out on a mission. And it's a very difficult task! Hello Brad, Parfay! Do you miss me after so many days? President Arrow, I wonder how my mission turned out this time? Are you satisfied? ”

After stepping through the guild gate, Arrow was finally able to fully release a smile on his face.

He sat down in his seat with a relaxed face and said with a smile: "Satisfied, very satisfied!" This time, the mission turned out to be beyond expectations! Although there is some luck in this, but overall the result is good, and that's it! ”

Cream was slightly stunned: "Luck component? ”

Arrow smiled: "Yes, I don't know why, this time Norris didn't show up in the guild to command. If he was there, I am afraid it would not be so easy. ”

Cream thought for a moment and nodded, "I see, that guy isn't here?" Well...... President, why do you think this guy wasn't there on the first day after the renovation was done? Is he such a careless and cautious person? “

At this point, Arrow also thought about it, and with Norris's personality, it seemed that he couldn't be so big and let the Poison Needle guy handle such a thing on the first day after the renovation.

However, since he is not there, it means that he has more important things to deal with now. Anyway, this more important thing should have nothing to do with him, and he was happy to stab him when he was defending the emptiness. In general, if the result is good, then everything is good!

Cream and Airo were talking and laughing, but the three of Coco next to them looked very confused. After waiting for a long time, they didn't wait for Arrow to explain, so they couldn't help but become a little anxious, and said, "Brother President, what are you talking about?" What exactly did you do? What did this thief do? ”

Cream laughed and snapped her fingers at the little girl: "What? Now you're going to listen to me 'brag'? ”

Coco pursed her lips and turned to Arrow's side: "I don't want to listen to you blow, I want to listen to the elder brother~~~"

Arrow smiled and nodded, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll talk to you." Actually, it's not that complicated, and I've already told you the general reasons. Well...... To put it simply, I'm just trying to create a differentiation between Mermaid Song and the Honey Jar, so as to avoid direct competition with it. ”

Coco, Parfay, and Brad tilted their heads, and after being stunned for a while, they all shook their heads: "I don't understand." ”

Cream taunted the three guys while drinking tea: "Haha! You've been with the president for so long, why don't you even understand this? Hahaha! ”

Coco pursed her lips and snorted, "I don't understand, you know!" Then explain it to me! ”

Cream hurriedly turned her head away, and took a sip as if she continued to drink tea: "I understand, but I didn't explain it as well." Let the president explain. ”

Of course, Cream's attitude must have been met with a roll of eyes and contempt from Coco.

Arrow smiled and continued, "Since the opening of the Honey Jar Guild, I have known that we will definitely not be able to compete in terms of financial resources alone. Moreover, there were ten people on the other side at that time, and there were only four members on our side, so it may not be comparable in terms of the ability to complete the task or the speed. ”

"There are only two ways now."

"First, our guild should make our own characteristics, and we must have different services that cannot be copied by others. But this is more difficult, because no matter what good way I can come up with a good way to run it, the honey jar, with its great financial resources, will definitely be able to imitate it very quickly and do it better than us. So this one is not feasible. ”

"The second one, which is what I just said, is the differentiation of the customer group. As long as we can delineate the customer base of the honey jar at the high end, and we are only engaged in the middle and low end of the mermaid song, then we will naturally not be able to compete, and their threat to us will be reduced to a minimum. ”
