Chapter 182: A Good Start
"Is this the port of Ji? The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce has built a stronghold at great cost......
"Husband, I have heard of this place, because the continents reject the money road and the business of merchants, but there is a place where they can be used, so I have to arrange it in this form. ”
Li Zhen and the Nine Princesses walked hand in hand on the streets of the city, and found that the only houses in this place were built for many servants in Hong Kong.
However, the breath of the reckless rivers and lakes has become thicker, and all kinds of people can be seen coming and going along the way, all of them have cultivated in their bodies, and they are monks in the realm of refining qi.
This is a completely different scene from the inland city.
Along the way, there are some fixed shops, hanging all kinds of signboards, from magic weapons and treasure clothes, swords, darts and shuttles, talisman pills, all kinds of medicinal materials, spiritual objects, everything.
"Sure enough, it's much more prosperous than the Outer Valley, and compared to here, it's like a small country market. ”
"After all, the main cultivation paths are different, and in overseas places, there are many low-level casual cultivators, but it is not easy to cultivate to a high level. ”
While the two were talking, they suddenly saw a woman walking towards them.
She looks like she is about twenty, wearing an ethereal cloud brocade embroidered long jacket and a long skirt embroidered with juan yarn and gold silk, with a beautiful appearance, walking like the wind, and has a shrewd and capable temperament that is different from that of the female cultivators of the sect.
The nine princesses standing next to Li Zhen are classical beauties with beautiful faces, dressed in complicated and meticulous clothes, and walking gracefully, they will never act like this.
But because the other party is young and beautiful, Li Zhen can't afford to be bored, and he is usually surrounded by classical beauties, at first glance he saw such a capable temperament, which made him go back to his previous life in a trance, and when he saw the illusion of an urban beauty, he inexplicably gave birth to a little bit of the intimacy of seeing his fellow countrymen.
The woman didn't know what Li Zhen was thinking, so she said generously: "Li Daoyou, seeker, I am Shang Yuxian, the senior deacon of the Xuanzhou Branch of the Money Society, and I am ordered to come here this time to accompany the two of you to visit the bazaar. ”
At this time, Min Lian, who lacked a sense of existence, came out from behind and said quietly: "Li Yuma, Ninth Princess, hello." ”
"Well, it's okay for both of you. Li Zhen came back to his senses and looked at it when he felt wrong, Cui Wei, who he saw last time, didn't know where he had gone.
However, this is a matter of other people's money clubs, he is not familiar with Cui Shu, and there is no need to talk much, so he asked about the next plans of the ninth princess.
The ninth princess said: "Husband, we are not here to play this time, let's visit the consignment of incense first." ”
Li Zhen said: "Okay." ”
Shang Yuxian said: "I'll lead the way, two please." ”
Li Zhen sniffed, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance of pepper orchid in the air, and its texture was fragrant and warm.
With his ability to smell and recognize people, he guessed that this woman was outgoing and enthusiastic, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
The group began to walk forward, and Shang Yuxian took the initiative to introduce: "I don't know if the two of you know that this Fang Market built by the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce radiates to several surrounding countries and has become a well-known Fang City, but this is not the original purpose, this Fang Market was originally intended to be used as a flying boat to connect and transfer goods." ”
Li said: "What's the difference?"
Shang Yuxian said: "The difference is big, there are quite a few merchants here, and even among the scattered cultivators, there are many merchants, who will purchase some things used by the people in the cultivation of immortals and sell them to similar inland markets."
They buy all kinds of things, not for their own use, but to resell them for money. ”
Li Zhen suddenly realized: "I see. ”
Shang Yuxian said: "Li Daoyou lives in Xuanxin Country, and the most familiar Fang City should be Shiwai Valley and Fuyou City, right?"
Li said: "That's true. ”
Shang Yuxian said: "Some of the spiritual materials in those Fang markets are dug up from the famous mountains and rivers or secret realms by the local casual cultivators, and some of them are the inherent products of the Lingfeng blessed land, which are supplied by the Tianyun Sect, and the other part is provided by these merchants or casual cultivators, in the final analysis, they all have dealings with the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce."
Among them, the casual cultivators who are responsible for their own profits and losses and resell these are often called merchants or traveling merchants in the reckless rivers and lakes, and they are transformed from secular businessmen. ”
When the ninth princess heard this, she thought thoughtfully: "In this way, the husband's incense products are on the shelves in Jigang, isn't it necessary to form an impression among these people to have a good result?"
Shang Yuxian smiled: "Yes, the main thing this time this time is to contact those chambers of commerce and larger merchants who often travel to various countries to try. Most of them are long-time customers and are willing to try something new. ”
Li Zhen said: "It seems that you are going to the right way to sell this thing." ”
It is true that the channels of these people are far wider than those in the Outer Valley, and they can do their best to do things, and the share they take is not taken for nothing.
Of course, Li Zhen himself did not have the time and energy to peddle the incense products he had refined everywhere, and he could only do so by entrusting others.
The first step is to find the right person.
Fortunately, there is a relationship with the ancestors, and a reliable object is introduced.
It is impossible for ordinary casual cultivation to develop to this point so easily, and it often takes a lot of hard work and hard work for most of your life to achieve this step.
Soon after, the group entered a three-storey building, which is the largest treasure building in Jigang, focusing on all kinds of spiritual materials and treasures.
The formation of some natural treasures is inseparable from the local terroir, which is not produced locally, or although it is produced, the quality and cost performance are far inferior to those from afar.
Relying on the transportation of the flying boat magic weapon of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, the treasures of heaven and earth pass through all parties, which makes it convenient for the monks to purchase in a centralized manner.
Some valuables, and even special monks use Dharma Weapons to accept them, and they come and go through means of transfer or magic circles.
The convenience brought by this kind of supernatural spell far exceeded Li Zhen's initial imagination, and he finally came to the conclusion that as long as the incense products he refined were useful enough, it was entirely possible to spread to all continents in the world and become the food for cultivating immortals that swept the four seas and ten continents.
Technically, it's not a problem, but the concept of consumption and the popularity of incense are a problem, and there's the demand itself......
Thinking about it, Shang Yuxian had already gone up to ask the deacon here, and after a while, he brought a servant from the shop over and enthusiastically guided: "Four distinguished guests, if you want to see the new arrivals, please come with me......"
He took the four of them upstairs, and when he saw a hall more than ten zhang wide, rows of shelves about a foot high were neatly placed, and the night pearl inlaid at the dome exuded a metallic luster under the illumination.
This kind of shelf is a magic weapon, the root foot is fixed on the node of the array eye that protects the whole treasure building, when walking by, inadvertently the clothes and belts are blowing, the surface is rippling, vaguely with ripples like water waves, it is actually the use of Gangyuan Qi as a barrier to protect it, with the function of protection and vigilance.
Some casual cultivators walked between the shelves, browsing and tasting all kinds of treasures on their own, and when they picked the one they chose, they called the monks here to pick up the goods.
Li Zhen took a look, but saw that there were a dazzling array of all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures, all of which had their own price tags attached, and in a trance, there was a lot of familiarity.
Shang Yuxian secretly said: "Li Daoyou, all kinds of treasures here can be purchased by yourself...... We have set up a shelf for you, which is not the most conspicuous on the second floor, but between the second and third classes, and most of the people and merchants who have received the news will come to visit it, so you don't have to worry about the wine being unknown in the deep alleys. ”
As I spoke, I came to the place, and the fruit began to pass from here, and the rows were lined with peppers, musk deer, orchids, cinnamon, various natural spices, and simple incense artefacts.
Shang Yuxian explained: "Fang Jin's incense is not prosperous, although there are many natural spices, they have not yet been classified as the same kind of thing.
For example, musk and ambergris are classified in the two categories of earth and water respectively, and are not classified as spices according to the principle of the same fragrance......
This time, I mobilized some spices, or according to Li Daoyou's suggestion.
However, we will also try to develop the concept of incense materials, and if the response is good, we will simply classify spices as a major category in the future, and even set up special spice shops to distinguish them from department stores. ”
Hearing this, Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction.
This kind of thing is exactly what a master of incense like him has carried out in this life.
The courage of the Money Society and the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce will surely become a great help for him to develop incense, and the prospect of cooperation is reflected in this detail.
Soon, Li Zhen saw the Xinling incense, shengyun incense, herb incense and other things he had refined.
In order to test the market value of various incense products, he also put some tea turnip incense into it, and found that several people who looked like merchants arrived, and their eyes lit up, and they paid for it as soon as possible.
As expected, this kind of thing is the most popular.
It's a pity that Li Zhen can only sell this kind of thing as a wound medicine for the time being, if it is a perfect tea turnip that can transform the Dao body, and it is accompanied by a method of transformation, it is completely enough to be auctioned, and it is as popular as those treasures in Tsukidan.
The Ninth Princess also noticed this: "It seems that several copies have been sold before we came here, but unfortunately it is an eventful time now, if it is released at once, I don't know how the Xianmen side will react, maybe the matter of the ancestor arranging for us to set up another foundation will be complicated." ”
Li Zhen said: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, or wait until you have a firm foothold in the Chamber of Commerce and have a certain foundation, then you should have successfully built a foundation, and the money club has become a new backer."
And the dream fragrance too, the reason why I haven't brought it here for the time being is that I can't take care of it too much at once.
I am more optimistic about the potential of this thing, maybe it will become one of the main incense products in the future, let Mo predecessors open up the market first, and then follow up on the situation. ”
Li Zhen already had a faint plan for the future in his heart, that is, to spread all kinds of incense recipes and form different incense forces.
But all those forces have only one of them, and they are not as comprehensive and perfect as themselves, and they lack people as gifted as themselves, and they are not able to forge ahead.
They can only help themselves to open up the market, promote incense, and thousands of years later, become the help of the rise of incense.
Fishing has to make a nest, fixed in some places to feed, attract fish, in order to have a harvest, hold on to the incense recipe, only one person in the world can make these, and can not be busy.
After a while, people came to see one after another, and the casual cultivator, who also looked like a businessman, tried to buy some herb incense.
Usually, casual cultivation may not earn 5,000 spirit stones all year round, but there are many high-rollers among the merchants, and they sell 5,000 or 10,000, so they quickly bought all the incense pills that Li Zhen tried to release.
But at this time, they all coincidentally chose Xiangmaru.
At this moment, the price of the herb-scented incense pills is one hundred and fifty, which is the road of small profits and quick turnover, which is more in line with the consumption concept of ordinary casual cultivation.
A bottle of perfume is worth 2,000 yuan, which is worth as much as half a spiritual material that is not in the middle of the stream, but it can be clearly seen that this kind of thing is not as healing as tea and turnip, and most of the casual cultivators still regard it as a chicken rib thing that is only occasionally needed.
The incense pills can still try to prepare a little one or two, but perfume and other things are really not cared for.
They didn't know what it did, and they didn't dare to use perfume at once.
As for the spirit incense, the situation is not good or bad, and there are not many samples that some people are trying to buy one after another.
The price of this item is ten runes per copy, and you can try one or two in the early stage of qi refining, if you find it useful, you can still buy some auxiliary cultivation by gritting your teeth.
Although it is still not as good as the tea turnip, just one introduction is enough to penetrate the hearts of the people, but it is the most profitable among all kinds of incense.
Without it, the raw materials and labor are cheap, and the incense recipe has also begun to spread, and all craftsmen can refine it!
Li Zhen and others observed here for a long time, chatting with the people who came to buy in the name of inquiry from time to time, asking them what they thought, and gradually got a sense of it.
Soon the evening came, and the group went to the market for a walk and came back, and settled down for a while in the mansion that the money club had prepared for their kind of guests, and discussed what they had seen and heard about the day.
Overall, the consignment situation is quite satisfactory.
Depending on the speed at which the stock is empty, it only takes a few days for the first batch of incense to be sold out quickly.
The spot value given by Li Zhen this time is close to 50,000, and the net profit is 20,000 or 30,000, which is already close to the value of a low-grade spiritual material.
At first glance, this may not seem like much, but it is beyond the reach of many casual cultivators.
And when Li Zhen vacates the time to specialize in refining more profitable things, he can soon increase his annual income to more than 50,000 yuan, plus the dividend share obtained from the transfer of the party, and the joint Xiangfang can easily exceed more than 100,000.
Ordinary new casual cultivators, the common income is more than 3,000 per year
But this on-site inspection also reflected some problems.
Li Zhen deliberately tested Shang Yuxian and asked, "Shang Daoyou, what do you think of the various incense products, and which one should be the main one in the future?"
