Chapter 21: Reshaping the Universe
"According to what you said, he didn't take refuge in the sect because he didn't want to owe the sect, so I have to thank him?"
Lou Hong only felt that Zheng Qian was talking nonsense: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it, let's talk about it, what's worth your personal trip?" ”
"A great thing."
Zheng Qian smiled and clarified his intentions: "After Yaoshi Village, the reputation of our Qiankun Commercial Bank has been launched, and many surrounding villages and towns have come to the door, brother, our Commercial Bank is going to become bigger and stronger,"
“... Are you sure that you are bigger and stronger, don't you lose more? ”
Lou Hong was very worried: "I'm a rough person, I can't hide some words, so I just said Ang, just the cost of our medicine, and the success rate of our group of Dan masters, at the current price, then you can't sell one and lose one!" I don't know much about business, but that's not how trading works, right? ”
"Eh, losing money is only temporary."
It's rare for someone to be willing to listen to the business scriptures, Zheng Gan's face was full of excitement, "Yes, our family's Dan Master is a little unfamiliar with his skills now, but is this the only way for novice Dan masters!" ”
“.... Is it a rusty skill? I don't think I'm talented. It doesn't look like the owner is short of money, so why don't you directly hire those high-level Dan masters, but instead use some raw melons and eggs? ”
Lou Hong was puzzled.
"It's just that everyone thinks so, so Pei Yuan Dan in Yongning City will become more and more expensive."
Zheng Qian sighed: "Brother, if everyone is looking for an old Dan master, what should those who have just become a Dan master, or a novice who has aspiring Dan masters? No one invited them to do alchemy, and they couldn't practice their skills, so they had to give up their careers as alchemists and find other ways. Over time, do you know what this can lead to? ”
"What result?"
"This will lead to the Danshi fault, even if the main medicine of Peiyuan Dan is just a weed, Peiyuan grass can be seen everywhere, but before we come, this pill will be sold for a hundred dollars in Yongning City!"
Zheng Qian said lightly: "I once heard that there was a forging monk who made a living by collecting medicines, because he couldn't afford to use Pei Yuan Dan, so he asked the shopkeeper of the Baicao Trading House why Pei Yuan Cao, which was collected for five dollars per catty, cost 100 yuan after becoming Pei Yuan Dan!" The shopkeeper told him that Pei Yuan Grass was only worth five big bucks, and he knew how to turn Pei Yuan Grass into Pei Yuan Dan, which was worth ninety-five big bucks, so it was reasonable to sell one Pei Yuan Dan for a hundred big bucks. This is still the case with low-grade pills, let alone higher-grade pills. ”
"It's ridiculous!"
Lou Hong was a little angry, "The pill is an indispensable resource for the path of forging the body, so should the cultivators of Yongning let those profiteers handle it?" ”
"If it's just buying low and selling high, I believe that Yongning's cultivators will still be able to deal with it."
Zheng Qian sighed: "But there are masters in the Shang League, brother, as a cultivator of the forging path, he should understand that the most closely related to the alchemist is the various Taoist halls. ”
"Because the dosage of pills in the gym every month is large, the cost of purchasing all of them is too high. Therefore, all Dao Pavilions with stable members will cooperate with alchemists, and some Dao Pavilions will even train alchemists, right? ”
"What's wrong with that?"
Lou Hong was puzzled, "It's not very good for the Daoist to obtain cheap pills and cultivate a large number of alchemists at the same time. ”
"This way of cooperation is really good, although it is inevitable to praise the old and step on the new, but the old Danshi can not only do all the business, but can always leave some space for the novice Danshi, but Yongning's situation is a little special."
Zheng Qian sighed and said, "Soon after the establishment of the Yongning Business Alliance, they began to provide pills to various Dao Halls, and the price of the pills they provided was lower than the cost of cultivating the Dan Master yourself!" ”
"And this good... And this kind of thing? ”
Lou Hong subconsciously felt that this was a good thing, but he faintly felt that there was fraud, so he changed his words: "Can't it, can Shangmeng still do loss-making business?" It must have been in the elixir. ”
"The medicinal properties are full, and the quality is even better than that practiced by my own Dan master!"
After opening his mouth to dispel Lou Hong's concerns, Zheng Qian asked: "Compared with the fluctuating level and cost of his own Dan Master, the Dan medicine provided by the Shang Alliance is cheap and beautiful, so how do you choose to be the master of the Dao Pavilion?" ”
"It's... If the thing is really that good, then let's use it first, and if you find that the business alliance is playing tricks, stop it. ”
Lou Hong said wittily: "It is impossible to suffer losses!" ”
"The method is safe, and the curators of Yongning think about it similarly to the old man. Shangmeng's elixir is good, so let's purchase some for use first, but I definitely don't dare to invest all of it at the beginning, so I replace some of it first. ”
Zheng Qian's tone was light and there were no ups and downs, as if he was telling a boring story: "Cooperation based on interests will naturally collapse due to changes in interests, and the demand for pills in the Daoist Pavilion is so large, and if you use the business alliance, your own Danshi will have less demand." At this time, Danshi naturally wanted to come to the door to inquire about the situation, and he prevaricated by making an excuse. ”
"After using it for a while, I found that the quality of Shangmeng's pills was really good, and the price was still low, but because of the decline in orders, the old man came to the door to make noise, and the love of the previous cooperation was quickly exhausted, and finally one day, the owner of the hall made up his mind to simply use all the pills of Shangmeng. Even if the price changes in the future, it won't cost much to cultivate another Dan master by yourself. ”
"After all, the lower the cost of the pill, the more disciples can be cultivated in the Dao Pavilion with the same income, it's just a business, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Give some compensation, or find an excuse to cut off the cooperation with the Danshi, and the Daoist has developed faster. ”
"What makes the hall owners feel even more wise is that the quality of Shangmeng's elixir has been stable, and the price is even more gratifying, even in the years when the raw materials fluctuated the most, the price supplied to the gym was also gratifyingly low."
"With the cheap pills, the Daoist Pavilion has developed rapidly, and the hall owner has enough resources to improve, and the breakthrough time came earlier than planned, reaching a new realm, and the hall owner began to search for the Danshi again, hoping to customize the pills to assist in cultivation, but at this time, Yongning could no longer find an independent Danshi."
"But this is not a big deal, there are the best alchemists in the Shang Alliance, and the previous cooperation was also very pleasant, the hall owners went to the Shang Alliance to ask for pills, but at this time they found that although the quality of the high-grade pills sold by the Shang Alliance is still the same, the price is no longer close to the people, and it is even higher than the market price."
"Many hall owners have the idea of cultivating high-level alchemists by themselves at this time."
Speaking of this, Zheng Qian smiled, like a boring story, and finally suddenly shook out a burden: "Have you ever seen water and grass growing in the desert?" There is no low-level Dan Master, how can you cultivate a high-level one! But they seemed to have forgotten that the novice alchemists in Yongning had long been unable to survive because of their choices, and in the end, the hall owners could only pinch their noses and admit the high price of the Shang Alliance. ”
"Go around and around, the money of the Shang Alliance has not been less, the money of the Daoist has not been less, the alchemist of Yongning Prefecture is dead, you say it is not funny!"
At first, Lou Hong thought that what Zheng Qian was going to tell was just a small business story.
After listening to it for a while, I found that it seemed to be gloomy.
After listening to it, he realized that this is a business story, this is a horror story.
"In this way, isn't the lifeblood of the Yongning cultivators in the hands of the Shang Alliance?"
Lou Hong felt incredible, "How dare they!" ”
"If you don't dare, just change the object of squeezing and have the same interests. The largest group of cultivators in Yongning City is also a beneficiary of the Yongning Business Alliance. ”
Zheng Qian said lightly: "What about the high level of resources, you can rely on the difference in the price of low-level resources, the smartest thing that the Shang Alliance has done is that they have put up a higher price for the low-level pills, and the difference between the retail price of the Shang Alliance and the wholesale price of the Daoist Pavilion has become a binding of interests between the two groups." ”
"You see, the two parties who were supposed to be opposed, because of this interest, joined hands again and tacitly squeezed the low-level monks. So you know why Yongning City is the largest city in Yongning Prefecture, and the cultivation atmosphere is so bad! ”
Lou Hong may not have high vision and lack of knowledge, but he is by no means a fool.
If he had only had some guesses about the origin of this proprietor before, with this conversation, he was already sure, "Dare to ask Your Excellency where the saint is, you didn't come to Yongning City just to do business, right?" ”
"Clam, clam, I'm a businessman, and I'm naturally doing business when I come to Yongning!"
When Zheng Qian heard this, he said proudly: "It's just that what I'm doing is not a small business like Yongning Business Alliance, what I'm doing is a big business that reshapes the world!" ”
