Chapter 143: Live Demonstration
The next day, Hua Lanting got up to wash, cleaned up, and came to Tiangang Hall on time to receive special training.
After waiting for a while for the personnel to arrive, he found that it was not the eight of them as he had said before. He and Lin Xianjing, Yi Liunian, Zhuge Yun and Wen Yin were all there, and the other three girls did not appear, and they were replaced by the tall female disciple Dao Jones and the short and thin opponent He Dayi in the final of the day's big competition.
These two people are not strangers, and when asked, they also received a temporary notice last night and did not know the inside story.
At this time, the gate of Tiangang Hall opened, and a person walked out, it was an old woman, with no makeup, taller and burlier than Dao Jones, full of silver threads, looking very old, very ordinary, and even slightly ugly, but there were no wrinkles on the face, especially a pair of eyes, bright and clear like a girl, with a smile in the soft eyes, which made people feel like a spring breeze.
Hua Lanting sighed secretly in his heart, there is a good saying: When a person is old, the best state is that his eyes are full of stories, but there is no wind and frost on his face. It couldn't be more apt to describe this woman.
The old woman looked around at the seven people and said, "Good morning, mother-in-law, I am Wang Jinlian, the chief guest teacher of the Tiangang Hall Teaching Group, and I am in charge of your training this time. ”
Yi Liunian hadn't completely sobered up after a hangover last night, which made his son a little dizzy, and seeing that he and Wen Yin were the only ones among the seven people gathered, he was very happy, and all his thoughts were on Wen Yin, after listening to Wang Jinlian's words, the ghost envoy agreed with a smile:
"Oh, Hello Pan Jiaoxi, I'm Yi Liunian. ”
The other six people immediately swallowed back the greeting that came to their mouths, and glared at Yi Liunian together, Wen Yin simply kicked him, and the scene was a little embarrassing for a while.
Wang Jinlian was also stunned for a moment, but she didn't see her angry, she just smiled slightly, and said to Yi Liunian: "Xiao Yi, it's easy to say, your self-introduction is very chic, impressive." That, Aunt Pan, I, well, remember you. ”
Yi Liunian also reacted and shrunk his neck.
It was not cold under the morning sun, but under Wang Jinlian's gentle gaze, he inexplicably felt a little chill on the back of his spine and his neck.
Wang Jinlian ignored him anymore and said: "Due to some reasons, the staffing of the door has been temporarily adjusted, and the rest of the people will form a reserve team to travel alone, and the seven of you will be the main force in this competition." ”
After glancing around, she said again: "I don't need to introduce the name, I know it." All of them are handsome men and beautiful women, but Dao Jones is as tall as me, in my experience, are there often male disciples who are ashamed of themselves in front of you?"
Dao Jones learned the lesson of Yi Liunian and replied honestly: "You always say that it is often the short male disciples who take the initiative to talk to me, but most of them ask me if I am so tall and strong, do I eat a lot. ”
Wang Jinlian smiled again: "I'll teach you an experience first, and if someone asks him later, I'll tell him: You are so short and small, why don't you sell cooking cakes." ”
Seven people.
Wang Jinlian continued to speak softly and softly: "The special training lasts for three days, and the task I accept is to squeeze out your potential, polish your cooperation, and improve your singles, doubles and mixed team combat abilities, by the way, I almost forgot, as well as the ability to resist beatings, all of which have been upgraded to a higher level." Don't hold your hands back in the next training session and give it your all. ”
"I heard that some of you have seen Brother Honey Badger Pingtou, so the slogan of our special training this time is - life and death are downbeat, and if you don't accept it, you will do it! Old woman, Aunt Pan, I just want to kill you, or kill you. ”
Now everyone felt a soaking chill hit.
After three days, everyone understood why the departure date was scheduled to be seven days later, because none of them could get off the ground, and they were all bedridden, and it didn't matter if they took pills.
During the training, they were slapped countless times by Wang Jinlian from the inside out, either with the palm of the flesh or with spiritual power. The characteristics of Wang Jinlian's cultivation are none other than that, that is, fast and ruthless, fast as a ghost, accurate as a ruler, and ruthless as a hammer and chisel.
In the end, everyone was aroused to the same hatred of the enemy, and only by relying on the cooperation and filling of each other's martial arts and spells could the number of beatings be reduced, which basically met the requirements of the special training, and was carried back to their respective residences.
In the early morning seven days later, Hua Lanting packed up all kinds of spiritual treasures and equipment that had been given to him by the door and other division commanders, and then everyone gathered in one place, waiting to meet with Shang Chenxi and set off.
Before leaving, the leader of the team came to meet them briefly. This person is the first deputy hall master of Tiangang Palace, the old man's name is Lu Duanyao, with red hair, full of red light, full of energy, and the volume of his speech is very loud, so that everyone has to use spiritual power to protect their ears, and what Hua Lanting didn't expect was that the fourth senior brother Shu Luntai was also present.
Lu Duanyao didn't say much, only said that this trip was not as simple as imagined, and there might be unexpected difficulties, but he also comforted everyone not to think about it, as long as all actions were under command. In addition, before arriving at the Saidi, he and Shu Luntai would only secretly accompany them but would not show up easily, so that they would obey Shang Chenxi's arrangement.
After Lu Duanjiao left, Shu Luntai stayed and relayed a word from Yun Yiqi to Hua Lanting, which meant that the power of the richest merchant in Xianzhou was intertwined, and let them try to have a good relationship with Shang Chenxi during the trip, and learn more business things by the way.
Not long after, they waited outside the mountain gate for the merchant's convoy.
Shang Chenxi was still as bold as ever, and as soon as they met, he gave each of the seven people three improved Flash Lei Yan Beads as a meeting gift.
Hua Lanting and Shang Chenxi are old acquaintances, and they also met another acquaintance in the caravan, who was Niu Kelian, the leader behind the Zhulian Gang and Bike Village, who had met in the Wulan Mountain Range. Because of his business talent, this person was later taken into the account by Shang Chenxi, and this time he helped Zhang Luo by Shang Chenxi's side, and it seems that he has become a confidant.
There is also an old man worth noting, Shang Chenxi calls him a sword holder, and it seems that he should be a master who is responsible for protecting the second son of the merchant. This Weng followed Shang Chenxi's side without leaving the left and right, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if he was closed, and he didn't pay attention to others.
The merchant's convoy was very magnificent, with more than 20 large cars and dozens of people. After setting off, except for Hua Lanting, Lin Xianjing, Yi Liunian and Zhuge Yun, who were invited to ride in a luxury carriage with Shang Chenxi, Niu Kelian and Bao Jianbo, the other three all arranged separate cars.
The caravan moved forward, and after leaving the Mengbi Shenghua Mountain, the speed was raised, and the people who pulled the cart were all selected spirit beasts, and they couldn't feel the bumps at all while sitting in the car, and there were all kinds of wine and fruits in the carriage.
On the way, Shang Chenxi and Niu Kelian were both very healthy and chatting with the four of them. According to him, the itinerary is not stressful, there will be a few deals to negotiate before arriving at the destination, and the rest of the time can be used to explore the scenery.
When it was dark, the convoy entered a town named Xiao Qingyang, and after the convoy settled down, Shang Chenxi took seven people to the street.
The town is not big or small, it is quite prosperous, and everyone randomly found a small restaurant on the street to eat.
During the banquet, Hua Lanting remembered Yun Yiqi's instructions, found a conversation, and asked: "Second Master Shang, I see that this restaurant is facing the street and cornering, the geographical location is good, it is said that the business should not be bad, why are there not many guests here?"
Shang Chenxi said: "Good question, last time in Wulan Mountain, I seemed to enlighten you, this time let Lao Niu answer this question, and then teach a few of you a lesson." ”
Niu Kelian wiped his mouth, twisted his fat body, looked left and right, and laughed before he spoke, and the standard businessman behaved: "The location is indeed excellent, the business is not good, in addition to the external factors of the scale of this town, most of it is not well managed." ”
The owner of the hotel happened to come over to refill the tea at this time, and the person looked like an honest man, and he didn't get angry when he heard this, but asked with a smile: "The guest officer is right, the business of our store was very prosperous, but since my father passed away and handed it over to me, the villain is clumsy, so that the situation is getting worse, I don't know if you have the experience to teach me?"
Niu Kelian smiled: "Seeing that you are honest, I will mention you a few words." Let me ask you, what's in your corner basket?"
The boss turned his head and replied: "Alas, isn't this a bad business, I bought a lot of fruit from my relatives in the countryside to sell, thinking of opening a source of money, but the sales are average, and a few baskets are filled with leftover fruits that are beginning to rot, and I have to throw them away after tonight." ”
Niu Kelian asked Hua Lanting: "According to you, how to deal with these rotten fruits so that they don't go to waste?"
Hua Lanting walked over and checked it, and replied: "Almost all of them are moldy, they must not be able to sell at a price, at most they are discounted, and someone may buy them in baskets to feed their livestock or something." ”
Niu Kelian shook his head, let Hua Lanting take some, and asked the boss to bring a knife, his fat fingers like drumsticks were extremely flexible, and he peeled and cut a pile of rotten fruits into pieces in three strokes, and then fiddled with a shape, made a beautiful fruit platter, and said to the boss:
"If you want to attract customers, you use waste and use the fruit bowl as an after-dinner gift to please and attract customers. If you want to realize it, you have to increase it by five times or ten times the cost price, and a merchant or rich person like us who wants to save face in front of customers or friends will not care about this small money, don't you say?"
The boss likes to move the color, and even claims to be good.
Niu Kelian pointed to a stall outside the store and asked, "That girl sells things at your door, does it have anything to do with you?"
The boss replied, "In response to your words, it is a little girl." My son and I are in charge of the restaurant, and Humble Jing does some clothing needlework in the backyard, and my daughter sells it at the stall. ”
Niu Kelian then asked, "How did you sell that scarf and shawl?"
Boss: "The value is too low, we can't use the upper and lower grade spirit stones to denominate the price, and the price is only three pieces of scattered inferior spirit stones for our ordinary people's homes." ”
Niu Kelian had a heart to show off, he let everyone watch, he and the boss went downstairs and went out, standing in front of the stall.
After a while, Lao Niu first let some pedestrians pass, stopped a group of young men and women who were relatively brightly dressed, and asked the leader: "Young man, seeing that the weather is getting colder, do you want to add a handmade and refined plush shawl to your beautiful female companion in advance?" Warming up is secondary, the key is to warm your heart." ”
Before the young man could speak, her female companion was already pursing her lips and looking at him with a smile.
The young man blushed and asked, "How do you sell it?" ”
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, thirty pieces of low-grade spirit stones, and a pure silk scarf is included. ”
"I'll go, why don't you rob it?
Niu Kelian: "Oh, young man, ask for a price all over the sky, pay back on the ground, you are so handsome and chic, don't you still know how to bargain? Come on, come on, can't you ask me if the three spirit stones are sold?"
"That'...... Three...... No, is a piece of low-grade spirit stone sold?"
"Anyway, I'm going to close the stall and go home, sell it, sell it! Young man, how many do you and your friends want together? I'll give you a 20% discount if you have more than 10 pieces. ”
Back upstairs, the boss smiled from ear to ear. But no, this transaction is the top of his daughter's usual income of three or two months.
Shang Chenxi said to Hua Lanting and the others, "How?"
Yi Liunian said: "It's an eye-opener, Brother Niu is too good, this brain is so smart, I'm a straight man, I really don't have these fancy intestines." ”
Shang Chenxi turned to a straight face and said: "It is true that Lao Niu is talented, but these skills are also trained by hard work. Old Niu, tell the boys about your experiences and sufferings when you were young. ”
Niu Kelian nodded and said, "What the owner said is good. When I was younger, I worked a lot in order to survive. For a few years, I specialized in buying and selling Feng Shui Reiki cemeteries, and for this reason, I traveled to almost every household in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages, and I also went to many Xiuzhen sects to sell them. ”
"I have concluded after a year that I have asked for a total of 2,358 people, of whom 1,105 are willing to listen to me, 310 have expressed interest in learning more, of which 120 will go with me to see the scene, 82 will seriously consider it, 59 will be tempted to talk to me about specific issues, 38 will decide to buy, and in the end 24 transactions have been made. ”
"I got a commission of four thousand one thousand spirit stones from it, and after deducting various costs, I actually earned three thousand spirit stones. So that's when I came to the conclusion that every time I asked to meet a potential target guest, I would earn a multi-spirit stone. ”
Shang Chenxi said: "Do you hear? Businessmen are interest-minded, they come to make money, they are born for profit, but they are willing to work hard to make money and pay for profit. In this world, there is never a free dinner. ”
"Boss, check out. ”
"Nineteen spirit stones, the seven of you keep accounts. Lao Niu, go back to Vientiane Gate Mu and ask for it, and calculate your appearance fee and class fee. ”
"Remember, divide me in half. ”
"Also, the income of the shawl should be at least 30%. ”
