Chapter 104: Turning the Tables (2)
Jin Ziming began to transform the same gray mist into colorless, white, black, and colorful respectively.
For example, in the moves of "Cold Wind" and "Glacier Wind", the combination of the Grievance Spell and the Eye Opening Spell will make the opponent feel like they are in hell.
The color of the fog belt suddenly changed from colorful to dark black, and he immediately used the "Mystery of Light" to shoot a dazzling golden light spell in the darkness, instantly "blinding" the opponent, and then used the next move to hit him hard.
Once you open your mind, you can evolve infinite changes and combinations, and Jin Ziming immediately indulged in it.
After the transformation, the "Wind Galloping Knife" has become strange and unpredictable.
This set of knife techniques has been transformed, and he named it "Demon Knife", which matches his nickname and is considered a signature martial art.
Half a year has passed, and the relationship with Juxingmen has entered the honeymoon period, and Jin Ziming feels that the time is ripe and is ready to attack.
The target of the attack, he did not choose the strongest Qingyu Gate, but another one.
In the jurisdiction of Shuiye City, there are some old mines, which use mining machines from the first-level sect of the German realm, Guangxinmen.
Jin Ziming once heard Chen Ruiqin complain when they chatted that the operation and maintenance costs of these old equipment were very high, and they often exceeded the budget.
Moreover, even if new veins are discovered in these places, it is simply not possible to mine new ore by adding a few new modules due to the backward technology and architecture of the original equipment.
The only way is to buy a brand new mining rig, which will keep the cost high.
These old equipment has become a heart disease of the Gongjian Hall, and it is a pity to abandon it because it is tasteless.
Jin Ziming has great ambitions, and he wants to replace all the mines of Guangxinmen in Shuiye City at one time, and he will no longer make a fuss here like his predecessors.
He decided to simply play a big one, not only to break through the opponent's base of Shuiye City, but also to make a final decision and directly become a big supplier.
If you want to do it with such fanfare, you must have a reason to do it, and you need to let the Shui Ye Station and Thundering Branch of Juxingmen understand:
What are the quantifiable benefits of such a transformation?
He had an idea, thought of the problem of "consuming spirit stones and exceeding the budget", and decided to start from here.
Jin Ziming asked Chen Ruiqin to call up the statistics of the consumption of spirit stones by Guangxinmen's equipment over the years, and then pulled Hong Jingqian to visit the relevant mines.
While confirming the accuracy of the data, corrections are made, and complaints about the equipment by front-line personnel are also recorded in a list.
He began to calculate that with a three-year cycle, the net income was net by deducting the spirit stones required for the operation of the equipment from the income of the spirit mine.
Comparing the two cases of retaining Guangxinmen with replacing it with Lingyunpai, the latter is extremely competitive.
The only problem now is that the price of replacement equipment cannot be expensive, and the Lingyun faction has a special subsidy for access to the closed market of Qingyumen, which can be applied.
But after some calculation, it is very troublesome:
To satisfy Juxingmen, the Lingyun faction will have a large loss.
Obviously, it can't all be operated through subsidies, otherwise it will bring great pressure to the sect and branches.
Jin Ziming thought about it for a long time and found that only by replacing it and "eating meat to nourish the body" could he play this "game".
He had to give up the illusion of eating it all in one go for a while, and in order to determine the replacement target, he devised a selection principle:
First of all, it is necessary to start with large mining areas with many complaints, so that it is easy to get support.
Secondly, new veins have been discovered in these places, which require the purchase of new mining machines.
Third, it is best to have some scattered small mines nearby, which can be incorporated and transformed together.
With this screening method in mind, he quickly identified three target mining areas.
Jin Ziming pulled through the calculation, there is a profit from the new ore vein, and there is a stronger host performance to access the old terminal equipment, and the business subsidy he needs to apply for has suddenly dropped a lot.
Gongjiantang has long been extremely dissatisfied with Guangxinmen's equipment and services, and Jin Ziming took out the data and a list of problems, and even persuaded Chen Ruiqin and Hong Jingqian.
He made a replacement plan, and went to meet Peng Dongxin and Pan Chenan with Chen Hong and reported it in detail.
This plan seems to be beneficial to Juxingmen, and the two elders are very satisfied after hearing it, plus they both want to repay Jin Ziming's affection, so they are happy to push the boat along the river, and immediately said that they can talk about it deeply.
Jin Ziming hurriedly made a business application, rushed back to Leiming in a hurry, and early the next morning, he convened a meeting of the branch bosses.
First introduce your ideas, plans and business applications to everyone, and then say:
"If the Guangxinmen equipment is fully replaced, the noise and business pressure are very great.
I propose to renovate these three mining areas first, and become the second largest supplier of Shuiye City in one fell swoop.
Our Lingyun faction used to be in this market, and the biggest problem was that it had no status, and it was all sporadic terminal equipment.
If you don't have a host, you won't have a root, and now you'll have three hosts in at once, and you'll not be afraid of being easily replaced in the future. ”
"Ziming, it didn't take long for you to find such a big market opportunity, which is very good, and I fully support your idea.
Lao Wang, you ask someone to review his plan and configuration quotation, if there is no problem, report to the headquarters today and apply for special business. ”
"Okay, Grand Elder." Lao Wang was also very excited.
"Lao Wang, I also have an idea, if the headquarters feels that the subsidy is too much and the loss is too large, it can merge two of the relatively close mining areas and share a host.
I did the math, and I could barely bring it up. Jin Ziming added.
"For the first time we enter on a large scale, we still have to pay attention to reputation and quality in order to gain a firm foothold.
I recommend not to worry too much about business pressure, or use the three-host solution, which can better show the advantages of our products. Li Jin said.
"I agree." The hall master and Lao Xiao also agreed.
The headquarters replied on the same day and agreed to the application of the Leiming Branch.
Jin Ziming hurried back to Shuiye City and asked Pan Chenan to convene a special meeting.
After explaining the replacement plan in detail, he threw out the preferential policy of packaging:
"Elders, by giving away the most advanced mainframe, as well as the replacement equipment needed for some of the mines.
On the whole, within three years, the net income of Juxingmen in these three mining areas will exceed the continued use of Guangxinmen equipment, and the benefits of reducing labor costs are not considered. ”
Peng Dongxin had already had a private communication with Pan Chenan before, and both of them agreed to let Lingyun send in to compete with Qingyumen.
However, he still didn't want to agree so easily, and after a deep groan, he said:
"Ziming, you are very diligent and hardworking, everyone recognizes you, and we are willing to give the Lingyun faction a chance with you.
Your proposal has some appeal, but it's not enough to push us to make such a big decision.
I hope you will go back to the Thundering Branch, and discuss with Elder Teng again how to make the plan more competitive, and if you can't convince her, I can go over and talk to her. ”
He was slightly stunned, and understood that Peng Dongxin wanted to show his authority, and now that he has something to ask for, he must not refute people's face.
Jin Ziming nodded in agreement, returned to the branch again, and convened a high-level meeting.
He briefly reported the latest progress and Peng Dongxin's request, and everyone immediately fell into heated discussions.
Some suggested that they should continue to apply for more preferential treatment from the headquarters, some proposed to simply grit their teeth and forcibly replace all the Guangxinmen equipment in one go, and some said that they would give away new products to be a model point.
It is also said that the price is already very favorable, and Elder Peng may just be testing our bottom line, carrying it first and then deciding whether to let the price go.
"Ziming, what do you think?" Li Jin asked.
"I think that no matter whether Elder Peng is tempting or really wants more discounts, the first time we enter the Shuiye market on a large scale, we still have to sell him a face.
On the way back, I looked at the map of the mining area again, and found that although our former terminal equipment was very scattered, there were relatively many of them in the Dingyi mining area, and they were originally connected to the main engine of Qingyumen or Guangxinmen.
Why don't we give away another host and put it in Ding Yi?
There is no need to replace the equipment of Guangxinmen, only to bring in our own end products.
This can reduce the load of Guangxinmen's old equipment, and at the same time, the production of our small mines can also be increased.
It is equivalent to piercing a nail in Ding Yi first, and maybe one day you can borrow it to grow up.
In short, we can only give away equipment, not reduce the unit price, only to keep the discount rate, what we lose today, can be earned back in the future when expanding the capacity. ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Jin and Lao Xiao agreed one after another, and finally the Great Elder made a final decision and agreed to this plan.
This matter cannot be delayed, it will change later, and it is necessary to prevent the counterattack of Qingyumen, and the branch immediately sent an airship to send Jin Ziming back to Shuiye City.
Early the next morning, he reported the latest plan to Peng Dongxin and Pan Chen'an, and the two looked at each other and nodded.
Peng Dongxin is more righteous, he didn't want to force the Lingyun faction too much, but now that he has gained face, he will accept it when he sees it, he immediately smiled and said:
"Ziming, your Lingyun faction's work efficiency is really high, then it's decided, you go to Hall Master Chen and prepare to sign the contract."
Jin Ziming asked the airship to rush back to Lei Ming and brought the seal of the branch over.
In order to prevent leakage, the signing location was not placed in Juxingmen, but in a quiet teahouse.
After the two sides stamped, Jin Ziming got this order, his heart was surging, and his long-term efforts were finally rewarded.
There are too many comrades-in-arms who have fallen here, and I can't help but have mixed feelings in my heart.
With this heavy contract in his arms, he rushed back to the branch and handed it over to the Great Elder, but the other party couldn't hold back his joy and said with emotion:
"Ziming, when I decided to let you go to Shui Ye, I just wanted to ask for a change, but I never thought that this trick would really work, you are very good, I will apply for a heavy reward for you immediately."
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and Qingyumen soon knew that the base camp had been breached, and a counterattack was coming.
In Shuiye City, Jin Ziming saw Yang Feng again.
"Senior Brother Jin is amazing, he made me so miserable if he didn't make a sound."
After completing this project, there will be an extremely wonderful and important enlightenment.
