Chapter 60 Platforms

"Platform?" Xu Mengyun immediately noticed this word, and her willow eyebrows frowned slightly, "What does this mean?" ”

"I'm not a seller and a buyer, but a middleman between the two." Lin Chen explained.

"Just be a book-bearer?" Xu Mengyun thought carefully for a while, a little incomprehensible, "Then what's the benefit?" ”

"The benefits are great, we can get the most spirit stones with the least amount of labor." Lin Chen tapped on the table and said with a smile.

"How is this possible?!" Xu Mengyun was a little surprised.

Her family has been taught to operate with integrity since she was a child, and she has paid attention to the same goods and a benefit, which is the first time she has heard of this statement.

"For example, Senior Sister, do you know the price of the Purple Cloud Pill refined by the sect's alchemy disciples?" Lin Chen didn't answer her words directly, but asked rhetorically.

The Purple Cloud Pill is an elixir commonly used by [Cyclone Realm] in the late stage of Qi refining to enhance cultivation.

"One pill, two spirit stones." Xu Mengyun recalled for a while and immediately gave an answer.

As an intelligence dealer of the sect, and the elixir is closely related to the monks, she naturally pays more attention to this aspect.

"Then on the exchange list of the sect, what is the price of a bottle of Ziyun Pill? How many grains are there? Lin Chen continued to ask.

"A bottle of thirty spirit stones, a total of six grains, if you convert it like this, it is one grain...... Wait, you mean to say ......"

Xu Mengyun's eyes widened instantly, she understood what Lin Chen meant.

Be a transporter of goods between buyers and sellers, so as to eat both ends in the process!

Lin Chen didn't want to be a seller, because he didn't want to spend too much energy on this, so he was a middleman, taking both ends, doing the least and taking the most!

But in this case, will the seller agree? After all, it's going to hurt their interests. Xu Mengyun asked.

"How dare they disagree?" Lin Chen said with a smile, but his voice carried a touch of coldness, "At that time, the entire market was monopolized by us, and whether this book could be redeemed or not was decided by us, and if there were any opinions, it would be directly suppressed." ”

"Even if some of the sellers are a little famous, but the monks who bought his books can fight with us for these books? Of course, if they join forces, we will divide them up and give some benefits to the top, so that they can help us in turn. ”

"And senior sister, don't look at us eating at both ends, but we have formed a platform, controlled the entire market, expanded our influence, and can bring more spirit stones to the monks who write books, from this point of view, although we have done less, but the benefits to the seller are not less!"

Xu Mengyun was silent, calculated in her heart, and then glanced up at Lin Chen, and sighed lightly: "Senior brother, you are quite suitable to be a businessman." ”

"Haha, I'm just talking on paper, if I really want to do it, I still have to look at my sister!" Lin Chen shook his head with a smile and continued.

"And we can also sink the market, find more buyers, and earn more spirit stones!"

"The market is sinking, what does this mean?" Xu Mengyun's eyebrows frowned slightly.

"The meaning is very simple, that is, to expand the books sold to the entire Qingyun Sect region, and establish sub-markets in the major markets."

"The life of casual cultivators licking blood needs to be vented, and the small forces of monks need to relax in the face of the pressure of competition, these are all potential customers."

"The territory of Qingyun Sect is vast, and I don't know how many monks it contains, even if it is one-tenth, no, even if one percent of the monks are tempted to buy it, how many spirit stones will it bring us?"

"And we have to transform later."

"Transformation?" Before Xu Mengyun could digest what Lin Chen said, a new word popped up, and she didn't have time to think about it, so she couldn't help asking.

"When you read more and experience more, people will gradually get used to it, and at that time, when the spiritual needs caused by physical desires are no longer satisfied in the books we provide, they will need higher spiritual food."

"What's that?" Xu Mengyun asked subconsciously.

"That is the purpose of our cultivation." Lin Chen raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance.

"Man is just a short-lived species, and for heaven and earth, it is just a dream of life and death, so they yearn for an eternal life that can coexist with heaven and earth, and can shine with the sun and the moon."

"And in the world, not everyone has a lot of money and countless spirit stones, so they naturally have to face all kinds of constraints of reality, can't be free, and oppress their own will, so they will yearn for a free and unfettered from all constraints."

"With desire, there is naturally demand, and with demand, there is naturally a market, so we can create this type of book."

"Then from now on, the Book of Wind and Moon corresponds to the low-level monks, and the Book of Immortality and Freedom satisfies those foundation-building monks who seek the Tao of immortality and have no hope of Jindan."

"We can even produce some books full of dry goods with cultivation knowledge and sell them to those who are determined seekers."

"In this way, monks with different needs correspond to different types of books, upper, middle, and lower, how many spirit stones will there be?" Lin Chen asked with a smile.

"This ......," Lin Chen's words couldn't help but make Xu Mengyun subconsciously calculate.

There are tens of thousands of monks in the sect, and if there are tens of thousands outside the sect, even if there are only more than 100,000 monks in total, plus the consumption of the foundation building monks, even if they only earn a few spirit stones a year, then, there are hundreds of thousands of spirit stones......

How many, hundreds of thousands?!

These spirit stones are piled up, I'm afraid they can become a small mountain, let alone owning them, Xu Mengyun has never even seen them!

"Not only that, but we can also buy a book in separate volumes, divided into one, two, three, four, and five volumes, and release them in batches."

"Of course, we have to get enough books out into the market, so we need enough writers."

"We can appropriately tilt some spirit stones on certain disciples, let them cultivate and continue to promote, and shape a low-level disciple to be promoted to the foundation building period because of writing books, so as to attract many people to invest in us...... Of course, this is something that can only be arranged after the foundation building period of our promotion. ”

"Hmm...... The purpose of cultivating immortal Baiyi is to earn enough spirit stones to advance, if so, then is this considered to be considered as opening another way for cultivating immortal Baiyi, writing a book? Speaking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but be interested.

The purpose of cultivating immortal Baiyi is to earn enough spirit stones to serve oneself, but there is no regulation on what form it must be.

In other words, if you can earn spirit stones by writing books, I don't know how many monks will invest in it.

Maybe thousands of years later, it will become one of the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, and maybe there will be a monk who will say: "I will become enlightened with * books!" ”

"But, but will the benefits of this cause others to be greedy?" Although Xu Mengyun was at a loss when Lin Chen said it, she did not forget the most critical interests.

"The platform is not so easy to form, at least in years, or even ten years or so, and by that time, I have already laid the foundation.

Moreover, the interest groups formed by the monks who wrote books supported by this market were enough to compete with other monks. Lin Chen took a sip of spiritual tea gently.

"As for the Jindan Ancestor? They don't look down on this benefit, and maybe they will give us preferential treatment because of the role of these books. Lin Chen put down the teacup and said meaningfully.

Then, he changed his tone and said: "Now that we have a vision for the future, shouldn't we talk about something realistic, such as, how to do it, how to divide it?" ”

Speaking of the spirit stone, Xu Mengyun finally woke up, Lin Chen said a lot before, she didn't understand it at all, she could only nod her head, and now when it comes to the money, she finally returned to the field she is familiar with.

"How do you plan to divide the labor? How to divide spirit stones? ”

"Senior sister, what are you talking about? When it comes to the multi-life points of spirit stones, we should work together and harvest together! Lin Chen was a little surprised.

"Don't be sloppy with your senior sister, you little guy talks one after another, senior sister is really afraid that she will be sold and will have to count the money for you." Xu Mengyun rolled her eyes.

Although Xu Mengyun didn't understand what she said just now, she also understood that Lin Chen also had means in business, so she had to guard against it!

Our feelings are one thing, but money is another, and the two should not be confused!

"My heart is to the bright moon, but the bright moon is to the ditch!" Lin Chen had a bitter look on his face and sighed lightly, "I don't want to do business with Senior Sister, but I want to invest in Senior Sister!" ”

"Investment?!" Xu Mengyun was confused.

"It's me who publishes books, and labor, grabs the market, and lets my senior sister be the owner, and finally divides me into seven and you three."

"Wait! I'm the owner, why am I three and you seven?! Xu Mengyun quickly grasped this point.

"I do the work, and I publish the book, not to mention the publicity, operation, and advertising ......," Lin Chen said confidently.

"Stop, stop!" It was another bunch of words that she couldn't understand, Xu Mengyun couldn't help but feel pain in her head, "Don't say that anymore, six or four points!" ”

"I'm six, you're four? It's not impossible to think about ......"

"It's me six, you're four......"

"Impossible!"

Under some argument between the two, in the end, Xu Mengyun had a very painful look on her face, took out a precious spirit deed from the storage bag, and signed a contract with five or five points of spirit stones.

"Senior sister, go slowly!" Lin Chen beckoned and sent Xu Mengyun away, then sat on the chair, raised a cup of spiritual tea, and took a sip gently.

"I'm good at talking on paper, but when I do it, I may not be able to do it." Lin Chen looked at the sky in the distance, his eyes gloomy.

Create a platform, both parties take it all, how much benefit will be gained, Lin Chen is not unclear, if there is a choice, he also wants to monopolize it.

But the reason why he pulled Xu Mengyun was not because of how good the relationship between them was, but because he really didn't have the ability.

It's true that he's crossed, but it doesn't mean that everything will be gone.

It's just that there are some thoughts and opinions that are different from this world, and it is impossible to be proficient in everything.

Don't look at what he said just now, but when you really want to get started, I'm afraid you will be confused.

After all, Lin Chen was just an ordinary college student in his previous life, maybe he could sum up some knowledge after watching too much on the Internet, but if he really wants to do business, he is a layman.

You know, in business, it's one thing to have an idea, but it's another thing to be able to do it.

An idea is just a beautiful vision, and if you want to succeed, you need start-up capital, connections, reputation, subordinates, buyers who trust you, etc., but these cannot be accumulated overnight.

If he has a lifespan of several hundred years, he doesn't mind slowly accumulating while doing research, but he only has a lifespan of about a hundred years, and he has all kinds of research, and he has to be promoted, and the time is urgent, and he can't be distracted.

So the best way is to find a partner who is proficient in business, and let her do it, so that she can get a share.

And this partner must have a certain amount of power and influence within the sect.

But the strength can't be stronger than Lin Chen, otherwise it can't be controlled, and it can't be too involved with other forces, otherwise it will be restricted by the upper echelons, so on the whole, Xu Mengyun is the best candidate for the entire sect.

Coincidentally, Lin Chen happened to know her, and they had a good relationship with each other, and they had the most basic trust, so they could naturally cooperate.

But what's interesting is that at the beginning of the relationship between the two, Xu Mengyun met Lin Chen taking a bath in the stream, and they have been in touch ever since.

But Lin Chen has always been a very cautious person, and when he is not sure about safety, he will not relax his vigilance around him, how could he be naked and bathed in the stream, and he was accidentally touched by her?

"So life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills!" Thinking of this, Lin Chen smiled slightly, looked at the sunset sinking in the distant sky, and drank the spiritual tea in his hand.

He stood up and just wanted to leave, but he was suddenly stunned and took out the communication talisman from his hand.

After seeing the information clearly, Lin Chen was silent for a long time and said softly.

"It seems that it is time to settle the matter of the Lin family......"

On the other side, Xu Mengyun, who was returning to the cave mansion, thought about it more and more wrongly.

Because when it was divided just now, although Lin Chen had been fighting with him, she always felt that it was a little too easy.

He's not a good junior brother, can he talk so well?

Xu Mengyun took out the spirit contract and carefully observed the treaty on it.

"He helped me with publicity, operations, advertising, and publishing books, and although I don't know what that means, I feel like he has done a lot...... It doesn't seem like a problem, but I always feel weird. ”

"Senior brother, junior brother......" Xu Mengyun closed her eyes and carefully recalled Lin Chen's information.

"Lin Chen, I have always liked to be alone, and I am on the outer door...... Wait, alone?! ”

Xu Mengyun instantly realized that something was wrong.

Lin Chen's principal is not enough, he has no connections, and he has no reputation in the market, so he says he is helping, but how much of a role can one person play?

In the end, it's not his own owner to do it, he just needs to publish a book.

No, even in the back, he doesn't even need to publish a book, it is written by other monks, the platform is his own responsibility, the coolies are his own work, and he only has to wait for the share, so in the end, his only role is not -

Lie down and divide the money?!
