Chapter 21 Price War
As soon as Huangfu Shang arrived in the room, he saw that there were still several true disciples in the sect, as well as his uncle and uncle, and he knew that his father was real.
Some of these people are descendants of Huangfude, and some are good players in various places, and it is definitely not normal for them to gather together.
Immediately, he said, "Dad, I heard that the Qiankun Sect is having trouble with us, what's going on?"
Huangfude pulled him over and explained briefly: "Shang'er, you know that this sect has always had homemade pills, and the most common ones are Juyuan Dan and Condensing Divine Pill, all of which are given to disciples below the foundation building period to take when cultivating.
However, these pills themselves cost a lot of money, so they will also sell some of them to other sects, as well as casual cultivators to make a profit.
Originally, this kind of thing was normal in the major sects. Like the Qiankun Sect, there are also self-made Qiankun Dan, which are widely sold.
The problem is that the pills of the major sects are all clearly marked with prices and do not interfere with each other. Like our sect's Juyuan Dan, it sells very well outside, and one is worth two mortal-level high-grade spirit stones.
According to past statistics, our family accounts for thirty percent of the pills on the market, the Qiankun Sect accounts for two and a half percent, and the rest are occupied by small sects or loose cultivators.
However, recently, the Qiankun Sect suddenly lowered the price, and a Qiankun Pill was actually sold for a half-grade spirit stone, which made us very passive. ”
"Oh, it's because they're hurting people. Huangfu Shang immediately understood that he had watched a lot of business war TV, and he had some understanding of this.
So I calculated the cost, the cost of Juyuan Dan is close to the position of a high-grade spirit stone, and Qiankun Dan should be about the same, if the price is the same as them, it will lose a lot of profits.
Moreover, recently, Qiankun Sect has engaged in a lot of publicity, pulling many old customers over, saying that it is to sell 100 pieces, and then return 10 pieces, and when it reaches 500 pieces, 60 pieces will be returned, so that many small sects will not come to buy Juyuan Dan.
Huang Fu Shang thought about it and asked, "So, has my father studied their Qiankun Pill, and does he have an advantage compared to ours?"
"Well, we have also compared it, it is about to reduce some materials, and the cost may be lower than our Juyuan Dan. "There was a head of the southern branch who came out to speak.
Huangfu Shang thought about it for a while but said: "This is easy to do, we just need to reduce the cost, ensure the quality, and reduce the price, no." ”
"How easy is it to reduce costs?" Huang Fude frowned, but he knew that his son's self-brewed juice was selling very hot, maybe this kid really had special skills.
Everyone present also looked at Huang Fushang incredulously, wondering what this former young sect master could do?
Huangfu Shang could see that they all had doubts about themselves, so he said, "Father, can you let me visit the process of refining Juyuan Dan." There are also raw materials for configuration, which I would also like to know. Don't worry, I will never use it for the Changbai faction, otherwise how can I be worthy of the surname of the Huangfu family?"
"This ......" Huang Fu De looked at everyone present, although this move was risky, but Huang Fu still took the initiative to ask for help, he didn't want to be kind.
Instead, a few senior uncles came out to speak: "The young sect master has the heart to help, we welcome it, but I'm afraid that there will be objections within the sect?"
Huangfu Shang smiled, but said: "Everyone is equal to exchange, I took out the recipe of Changbai faction to brew immortal fruit, and it should be exchanged with the formula of Juyuan Dan." ”
In this way, everyone thinks that they can do this business, after all, Huangfu Shang's fairy fruit cola sells quite well.
But they knew that Huang Fushang's formula was meaningless at all, and the key was the efficacy of the spiritual spring, so it was useless to say it.
Immediately do things, Huang Fude arranged for the person in charge of the Danfang, took him to understand, and then continued the meeting.
Huangfu Shang walked into the alchemy room of Tianyuan Sect, this place is not small, there are seven or eight houses, and dozens of disciples are hurrying to dispense medicine.
The disciple of the head of the Dan room led him to visit while quietly explaining the formula of Juyuan Dan.
Its main raw material is two kinds of spirit grass with domesticated spirit rabbit flesh and blood, refined.
Some minerals will also be added to it, mainly to increase the corresponding spirituality, and then refine it in the Dan furnace for 7749 days, and it will be successful.
It's just that in the refining process, there will inevitably be errors, and the failure rate is basically controlled below one percent.
After careful investigation, Huangfu Shang had an idea in his heart, and he was ready to start from several aspects.
The first is to improve the alchemy furnace to increase the output and shorten the cycle, and the second is to reduce the cost of the spirit grass and the spirit rabbit, that is, to take it back to grow and raise it yourself.
As for the third, it is naturally packaging and publicity, so let's not mention it for the time being.
He went to inspect the two kinds of spirit grass that the other party said, both of which were planted on Tian Yuan Sect's own spirit field, and could produce tens of thousands of plants every year, which was two percent cheaper than buying them outside.
The spirit rabbit is a specialty of Oriental Shenzhou, its flesh and bones are very spiritual, refined into elixir, and have other effects.
Therefore, Huangfu Shang had a plan in his heart, asking the other party to send a few disciples back with him and come back in half a day.
I went back to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and found the secret book of this alchemy, and after a little figurative thinking, I already had a countermeasure.
He instructed people to buy several kinds of spiritual grass, and when they returned, they supplemented it with spiritual springs to refine it into three kinds of spiritual liquid.
The first one is taken back to clean the furnace and attached with a drawing that can be modified to increase production.
The second kind of spiritual grass used to water alchemy can increase the yield by 30% after three days, and shorten the cycle by more than half.
The third type is used to feed captured rabbits, which can make their flesh and bones more spiritual.
Before leaving, he instructed the disciple that as long as the three things were completely recruited, the cost of Juyuan Dan could be reduced, but remember not to leak the matter of the spiritual liquid, otherwise it would inevitably cause trouble.
The other party did as he was told, needless to say.
Huangfu Shang next, in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, carefully read the alchemy cheats, and seemed to have a new idea.
Nangong Meng accompanied him and couldn't help but be curious: "Senior brother in charge, you just use the spiritual liquid to send them away, is it really possible?"
"Haha, why have you learned to start thinking too, junior sister?" said Huangfu Shang teasing her, "This is just the beginning, first do a good job of the hardware, and then there is a more critical step to be done." By the way, when you went to Tianyuan Sect that day, did you see the senior brother in charge of the Danfang?"
"I've seen it, it's an old uncle, why do you have thoughts about him?"
Huangfu Shang shook his head, but asked her to secretly go to Tianyuan Sect again and invite people over.
Half an hour later, the senior brother of the Danfang came over, but asked the emperor what he had to say.
Huangfu still recognized this person, his name was Huangfu Ying, his father was a disciple with a foreign surname who was taken in by the door, and because of his meritorious service in Tianyuan Sect, he was given the surname Huangfu, which is considered the descendant of Huangfu's family.
His father has always been attentive to him, so Huangfu Shang still trusts this person more, so he said: "Senior Brother Ying, I am here for an important matter, and I want you to do it." ”
Seeing that he was so polite, Huang Fuying hurriedly said: "The young sect master is serious, but for the benefit of his own family, Huang Fuying will never refuse." ”
"I want to trouble you, and then go to those old customers who buy Ju Yuan Dan, especially those second- and third-rate small sects, you tell them that Ju Yuan Dan will be demoted in the future, and they will also sell a half-spirit stone.
However, I have rebates.
As long as they sell more than fifty pills, each pill will be returned to half a spirit stone, and it will be rebated on the spot, as long as it is not known to outsiders. ”
"This ...... Not really, right?" Huang Fuying was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood the mystery.
The price of a half-spirit stone, and then return half a spirit stone, those small sects who come to buy goods will definitely be willing.
This is equivalent to putting the benefits into practice, and whether it is distributed to the disciples of the sect again, or sold to others, it can be an extra sum.
It's just that if it gets out, I'm afraid it's not very glorious.
Huangfu Shang comforted him and said: "What's disgraceful? The Qiankun Sect can lower the price, why can't we play false, this is called not tired of deceit." You must remember that no matter how the other party bargains, he must bite to death at least fifty starting points, and then the price of one spirit stone at the bottom price, and he must not bargain again. ”
Because Huangfu has still calculated, according to his adjusted cost, the reserve price of Juyuan Dan should be about two-thirds of the spirit stone, even if the price of selling a spirit stone is not much, but at least it can protect the capital.
But the Qiankun Sect over there is not necessarily, if they are hurting people with their own money, the price is lower than that of a spirit stone, and they will definitely lose money.
Therefore, after discussing the sale of the promotion, Huangfu Shang asked him to do it decisively, and said that he would explain the matter to his father.
Then the arrangements were made and the people were sent away.
In the next two days, he concentrated on cultivating on Tianlan Peak, and also prepared two outfits, so that Nangong Mengnu dressed as a man, and turned into a scholar and scholar with himself, and went out to investigate.
This Oriental Shenzhou is really rich in land and resources, and the emperor is still going out for the first time, but it is rare to see different customs and customs.
Nangong Meng came out with him, but he was also so happy that he couldn't find his way, and he walked around, almost leading him to the point where he couldn't find his way.
The purpose of their visit was, firstly, to see how Juyuan Dan was trading in the outside world, and secondly, to investigate how great the Qiankun Sect was.
I didn't expect to go to a few bazaars, and there are small sects nearby, and I've been really crazy lately.
There are disciples of the Qiankun Sect everywhere, reselling the Qiankun Pill everywhere, even ordinary people.
Say what you say that eating Qiankun Dan can prolong your life and ascend to immortality.
Huangfu Shangxin told jokes, you should be watching TV, just take two pills, and you can soar?
This thing doesn't have any power, and you're just turning into a bunch of farts and letting it go out and wasting it.
However, he didn't bother to explain to these people, so he touched the details of the Qiankun Sect and got a few Qiankun Pills to study by the way.
As a result, when he arrived at the head of Shifangmen that day, he happened to meet Huang Fuying who came to negotiate with someone, and he talked with the person in charge of the other party in the tavern for noon, but there seemed to be no progress.
Later, a guy appeared and interrupted the conversation, it was the Changbai outcast Luo Muhou.
"I said Huang Fuying, don't bother talking, your Juyuan Dan is not good? Even if the price is reduced, it has no effect after eating, isn't it a waste of time?"
Huangfu Ying saw that it was him, and said very tiredly: "You are so boring, I talk to my friends, why are you also nosy?"
"You can't say that, I'm a distinguished guest invited by Deputy Master Wang, don't you say?"
When the deputy master of the Shifang Gate heard this, he coughed twice, but he was a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Huang Fuying knew that the two sides had probably negotiated, so he shook his head and wanted to leave.
Luo Muhou was unforgiving, and continued: "Alas, don't go! If your Juyuan Dan can't be sold, you can also come to me." Our Qiankun Sect can reluctantly make it difficult and recover your elixir. ”
"You recycle a fart? With your broken pill, you dare to take it out and sell it?"
Seeing this, Huangfu Shang came out to speak, "Do you really not know how to write dead characters?"
"Hey, who are you? What's the matter with you here?"
Luo Muhou saw that a scholar came out, and he was impatient.
Huangfu Shang took a Qiankun Pill and threw it on his table: "This is what you sold, and it was said that it was a big sale of a spirit stone, and my companion vomited and diarrhea after eating it, and he was about to die." ”
Turning back to Nangong Meng, the little junior sister immediately felt that she would lie on the table, and spit out all the wine in her mouth.
Wow, the guests in the tavern were all trembling.
"I'll go, what do you mean, you say eat a bad stomach, you just eat a bad stomach?"
Luo Muhou was still not convinced, and came up to ask for a theory, but was divided by Huangfu Shang three times and divided by two, twisted his arm, and stuffed the Qiankun Dan in his mouth.
"Then you can taste it, how does it taste?"
When he started, he didn't forget that his right hand condensed a trace of true qi, which instantly passed into the death hole on his waist, and the power of the life and death talisman was suddenly revealed.
Luo Muhou immediately knelt on the ground, covered his throat and sobbed for a long time, and suddenly his mouth was crooked, his eyes were slanted, and he rolled all over the ground.
Huangfu Shang immediately clapped his hands and shouted: "See, after eating the Qiankun Pill, it will become like this? Everyone, you get what you pay for, you have to pay attention." ”
After speaking, he helped Nangong Meng, held back a bad smile, and left quickly.
