Chapter 96: Brothers Settle Accounts
Pifu is not guilty of his crimes, and Zhang Tianzong has understood this truth when he was very young.
Therefore, until now, there are very few people who know that Zhang Tianzong has a Qiankun bag and that he is a second-grade alchemist.
And since Xiang Yang's father is a six-grade refiner, he already has the qualifications to be won over by the major forces.
If you can't win over, then you will destroy it.
What you can't get, competitors can't get it, the rules of the business world are how cruel and ruthless.
"I won't buy anything in Guiyi Pavilion in the future, and I won't sell things to Guiyi Pavilion again!"
After pondering for a long time, Zhang Tianzong could only comfort him like this.
After all, the Guiyi Sect is the most powerful sect in the Tianxiao Continent, and the Guiyi Pavilion is one of the three largest trading houses in the Tianxiao Continent.
He is now compared to the other party, which is the difference between ants and elephants.
It doesn't seem right to say that, if you compare it to Guiyizong, he is not even an ant.
The other party blew lightly, and he would immediately disappear.
"You really shouldn't have anything to do with Guiyi Pavilion," Xiang Yang said as a matter of course.
Zhang Tianzong frowned, I will help you, it is my duty not to help.
Even if I have something to do with Guiyi Pavilion in the future, you have no right to interfere.
It's just that the other party has a deep blood feud with Guiyi Pavilion, and it is understandable that he is in a bad mood, so he will take care of it a little.
"I mean thanks, just a little incoherent. ”
Seeing Zhang Tianzong frowning, thinking of Zheng Xiangwen's special reminder, Xiang Yang hurriedly added.
"It's okay," Zhang Tianzong smiled, "I can understand." ”
"Don't talk about this, where are you going to open a store next?" Xiang Yang simply changed the topic.
The strength of the two is indeed too weak now, and it is useless to talk about it, so it is better to talk about something useful.
"In the town of Feng'an. ”
Zhang Tianzong blurted out that he wanted to open a store not because of a moment of brain fever, but after careful consideration, he made a decision.
"Why don't you choose Fenglin County or Baihua County?" Xiang Yang wondered.
"The county seat is not good at all," Zhang Tianzong explained: "Almost every county in the Tianxiao Continent has branches of the three major commercial houses. ”
"If others want to buy pills, the first choice must be Guiyi Pavilion, and if they want to buy spiritual weapons, they go to Feiyu Pavilion. ”
"If I open a store in the county seat, the price difference is not big, who would choose an unknown small store to buy something. ”
"We can sell it at a reduced price," Xiang Yang reminded.
"It can't be lowered," Zhang Tianzong hurriedly shook his head: "Pills, spiritual weapons and other things are different, if you reduce the price, the first thing that others think of is that the quality is not up to standard." ”
"And a good elixir and a high-attack spiritual weapon can save a person's life many times, and in this regard, cultivators will definitely not spend money on defective products. ”
"Then what does it mean that you opened a shop in Feng'an Town," Xiang Yang said puzzledly: "You must know that cultivators buy pills and spiritual weapons, but they all go directly to the county seat?"
"So I have to break the habit of being a cultivator," Zhang Tianzong said confidently.
"How to break?"
"Take advantage of the distance. ”
"What does this mean?" Xiang Yang was confused.
"Wujimen is about ninety miles away from Baihua County, and about one hundred and twenty miles away from Fenglin County, but Wujimen is only about thirty miles away from Feng'an Town. ”
Zhang Tianzong patiently explained: "If I open a shop in Feng'an Town, and the quality of the elixir and spiritual weapons are about the same as the three major trading houses, and the price is about the same, then where do you say the disciples of the Wuji Sect will choose to buy them?"
"If the price is the same and the quality is the same, then it is natural to go to Feng'an Town, who is willing to run dozens of miles more. ”
"Isn't that it," Zhang Tianzong spread his hands, his face sly and cunning.
"But the crux of the matter is, who knew you opened a shop in Feng'an Town?"
"It's simple, just shout in the Wuji Gate. ”
"Do you think that with just a few words from you, the disciples of Wuji Sect will run to Feng'an Town, you must know that now they don't know whether the quality of the pills in your store is good or bad?"
"They'll go," Zhang Tianzong said confidently.
"Why?"
"Because the south of Feng'an Town is the only ninth-level forest in the area under the jurisdiction of Wujimen, the fourth-level forest in the south, and the third-level forest in the north. ”
"Wuji Gate is located in the west of Feng'an Town, and if the disciples in the gate want to go to the third-level and fourth-level forests, they need to pass through Feng'an Town.
"And the shop I opened only needs to accumulate a certain reputation, and the disciples of Wuji Sect will choose to pass through Feng'an Town when they go to the ninth-level forest next. ”
Xiang Yang nodded, and after Zhang Tianzong's detailed explanation, he finally understood all the other party's plans.
Indeed, almost all the counties in the Tianxiao Continent have branches of the three major commercial houses.
If you choose to start from the town, you can avoid head-on competition with the three major trading houses.
"But there are also shops in Feng'an Town that sell pills and spiritual weapons," Xiang Yang reminded after thinking about it for a while.
"The quality of the pills sold in those stores is so poor, and I am 80% sure that I will stand out from them in competition. ”
"As long as the store I opened has accumulated a certain reputation, I will march to the county seat and snatch a piece of meat from the mouths of the three major commercial houses. ”
"Don't think about entering the county seat," Xiang Yang shook his head and said, "You open a shop in the town, they may not mind giving you a little soup to drink." ”
"But if you go to the county seat to grab a cake from them, they will use some despicable means to make your store unsuccessful. ”
Zhang Tianzong was noncommittal, if he opened a store in the county in the future, then he would naturally be fully prepared.
It's just that it's still too far to discuss these now, and the most important thing at the moment is to open a small shop in Feng'an Town first, and then accumulate the reputation of the store first.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianzong asked Xiang Yang: "I have already said everything that should be said, are you willing to do it with me, if you don't want to, I will recruit another person." ”
"Then it depends on how much salary you give me," Xiang Yang said directly: "My brother settles the account, I don't want to have conflicts in the future because of a few spirit stones." ”
"How much do you want?" Zhang Tianzhong laughed.
Xiang Yang's words are indeed reasonable, not only the other party, but also if Hou Wenxuan and Qida join the store in the future, then these things must be discussed clearly, so as not to have conflicts in the future.
"Let me give you another suggestion," Xiang Yang thought for a while and said, "Take the three major commercial houses as an example, a store covering an area of about 500 square meters needs one shopkeeper, two deputy shopkeepers, and ten clerks. ”
Among them, the salary of the shopkeeper is 5% of the store's net profit, the deputy shopkeeper is 2.5%, and the clerk is about 0.5%. ”
That is to say, in addition to the 20% commercial tax, you can get about 60% of the net profit of a store. ”
Zhang Tianzong said 'um', these situations have actually been investigated by him before, if you want to change from a small trader to a boss, these things must be understood!
