Chapter 167 – The Way of Business
Looking at Lin Dongsheng’s eyes glowing as his old hand twitched, Xue Mu knew that he couldn’t wait to directly dismantle the box to see what it looked like inside.
“Shopkeeper Lin doesn’t need to think about dismantling and imitating it. At present, no one can imitate this item, Star Forgetting Stone, various special materials, Currying Night Formation, and the technical level of Shen Ji Sect, all of which are indispensable. Even if your Zong Heng Dao is known for making counterfeits, it won’t take a year and a half to research and imitate it. For now, there are only three hundred and ten boxes in this world, which can be called a masterpiece.”
“Skillfully crafted! Skillfully crafted!” Lin Dongsheng tsked and praised, “This is a miracle of the fusion of Lord Xue City’s creativity, Immortal Music of the Qin Fairy, the Star and Moon Sect’s top-notch magic formations, and the Divine Mechanics Sect’s master’s machinations, all aspects of the divine miracle, and in the world, apart from Lord Xue City, I’m afraid that there is no one else who can realize this kind of cooperation.”
“The meaning of the regular series is that Meng Lan is sharing the zither music with the public for the first time in the form of recordings, a total of six zither songs. In the future, it will slowly spread out and there will be a second and third series.” Xue Mu laughed, “The meaning of collector’s edition, only a few boxes here were recorded by Meng Lan herself, the others are basically secondary recordings.”
Lin Dongsheng quickly understood Xue Mu’s meaning, this is divided into two levels, the rare collector’s edition can better highlight the identity of the owner, when the time comes, there will be people who are proud to own the collector’s edition, and speculate the price to the sky.
In fact, not to mention only a few boxes of the Collector’s Edition, that is, the second recording of the ordinary version of a few hundred copies, all will become a high-priced collector’s item.
Lin Dongsheng’s mind quickly flashed through several modes of operation of this item, deliberated for a while, before cautiously asking: “Not released, in the next auction, how about this finale?”
“Feasible.” Xue Mu smiled, “For the time being, highlight a rarity and mystery, and then do the world’s promotion later.”
“This thing …… doesn’t cost much?” Upon hearing about world promotion, Lin Dongsheng was even more tickled. This would mean not this small scale sale of a few hundred copies, but as with the Qiankun Ring, an uncountable source of wealth.
“The cost is not high, but the main material is hard to find.” Xue Mu said, “The business channels of the Vertical and Horizontal Dao are extensive, help me purchase Star Forgetting Stones from the outside world in large quantities, and our finished products are also stabilized to give the Vertical and Horizontal Dao a cooperative sales channel. However, Shopkeeper Lin, I’ll say it up front, our cooperation like this can be considered close, whether it’s collecting materials or selling finished products, you guys at Zongheng Dao don’t play the faking and substituting for the good thing with me, or else it won’t look good on everyone’s face.”
“Don’t worry don’t worry, we naturally know the priority and priority.” Lin Dongsheng smiled and said, “Do I, Lin Dongsheng, look like a fool? Would I give up long term benefits for the sake of being greedy for small?”
“Happy cooperation then.” Xue Mu habitually reached out to shake his hand, but Lin Dongsheng didn’t understand this handshake salute, and thought it was a kickback, smilingly fished out an object and stuffed it into Xue Mu’s hand, “A small meaning, no honor ……”
Xue Mu breathlessly picked up a look, but a string of bead chain, the shape is very special, shorter than the unusual bead chain, and the particles are more coarse …… He looked for a while, his heart lit up, suddenly woke up, this is not to go to the kindergarten car …… This is not at all a neck hanging, it is to plug the valley road ……
Xue Mu subconsciously turned back to look at the Zhuo Qingqing and others who were serving behind him, the girls, although they came from the demoness clan, after all, they are still yellow flowers and virgins, where have they seen this kind of thing? They were all blinking their eyes curiously. Xue Mu gathered the chain into his sleeve in a swift manner, not letting them see it, Lin Dongsheng revealed a lewd smile, “Unsurprisingly, it seems that General Manager Xue really does know his stuff, and this object is considered to have found a clear owner.”
Xue Mu is very suffocating, Ming master ah, now Meng Lan gone, he claimed to be in the bushes, in fact, looking around only Xue Qingqiu a woman, or can not open the right way. And Xue Qingqiu obviously not possible to play with their own set, this thing is really considered a pearl in the dust only right!
But put it away, maybe it can be used in the future. Xue Mu didn’t say much, just arched his hand and said: “Thanks. Speaking of which, Shopkeeper Lin, I have other business to talk about ah ……”
Lin Dongsheng curiously said, “What Xue City Lord wants to talk about must be interesting, I don’t know what it is ……”
“My Star Moon Sect intends to organize the Spirit State Martial Arts, Department Six will support it, and currently there is also Sword Casting Valley participating, I don’t know the meaning of the Vertical and Horizontal Dao ……”
As the person in charge of the heavy ground of the Vertical and Horizontal Dao, his eyesight was not comparable to ordinary people, Lin Dongsheng knew where Xue Mu’s intentions were almost as soon as he heard it. However, the Zongheng Dao is not interested in this kind of thing, Lin Dongsheng thought for a while, sleeve hand lack of interest, “Chief Xue, we know that you want to organize the significance of the Spirit State Martial Arts, anyway, our Zongheng Dao is not famous for the force of the world, to participate in the co-sponsorship of the contrary to degrade this meeting of the public opinion. Let’s put it this way, for the sake of your friendship with me, we can donate a sum of silver to fund Star Moon Sect’s success.”
“Silver?” Xue Mu snorted, “I have my own endless silver to do this, what’s the use of asking for your little funding?”
“Huh?” Lin Dongsheng instantly became energized, “Can General Manager Xue tell us more about it? Maybe …… huh, maybe we can also contribute a few points.”
Xue Mu leisurely said, “As you said, if the Vertical and Horizontal Dao really participates, it will in turn pull down our tone.”
“Hehe …… that ……”
“Let’s put it this way, the Vertical and Horizontal Dao can do something for me. In exchange, at that time, the alcohol and drinks snacks Luo umbrellas and other commerce around the ring venue can be catered by the Vertical and Horizontal Dao.”
Lin Dongsheng first froze for a moment, then slightly changed color.
If Xue Qingqiu Shadowwing and the others were to hear such words, they would most likely scoff. What venue snacks, sounds low in tone, this kind of stuff is not all small vendors themselves sniffing around to sell? But in Lin Dongsheng’s ears, but very touched.
Why would vendors spontaneously come to sell? Because there are business opportunities! For a match like this, the people outside the ring watching the fight would be a sea of people. By designating the corresponding commerce to one family, wouldn’t the money come rolling in?
If such an idea had been thought up by someone from the Vertical and Horizontal Dao, Lin Dongsheng would have complimented it, but it wouldn’t have been very shocking, after all, it wasn’t too creative. But when these words came out of Xue Mu’s mouth, Lin Dongsheng couldn’t believe it, to see a big business opportunity from the smallest detail, this was clearly the Vertical and Horizontal Dao not the Star Moon Sect! Linking it to the previous music box matter, the more Lin Dongsheng thought about it, the more he felt that Xue Mu was thinking like the Vertical and Horizontal Dao in every way, he carefully asked, “Then what does Chief Xue need us to cooperate with?”
“Spirit State Martial Arts, I plan to set it on the first day of May and organize it for three days in a row. You guys from the Zongheng Dao have a wide range of people, so you can help me send out flyers, put up bulletins, hang banners, in short, hype up this matter until no one in Ling Zhou knows about it.”
Sending flyers, posting bulletins, hanging banners …… sounds very simple, but Lin Dongsheng knows that it is not simple, because this is really not something that the people of the Star Moon Sect would consider, the more he says, the more he looks like he is in the Zongheng Dao. He couldn’t help but ask: “The Chief Manager said that he earned endless silver, can he mention a few points?”
“Around the venue, to the left of the ring, on each standing wall, how about leaving a spot for the Pavilion of Curious Treasures? Write an advertising slogan, such as “The Pavilion of Exquisite Treasures is full of exotic treasures, gathers goods from all directions, and provides for the needs of ten thousand families?”
Lin Dongsheng’s lips began to shiver, “Leaving a piece of space, that means that the …… General Manager is going to divide it into countless pieces and sell them to various stores?”
Xue Mu smiled warmly, “Shopkeeper Lin really does have a point.”
Lin Dongsheng finally couldn’t hold back any longer and asked, “Could it be that General Manager Xue has spent time in the Vertical and Horizontal Road?”
It was truly amazing, even the Vertical and Horizontal Road wasn’t this treacherous, bringing worthless walls to sell for money, and only selling them for so many days. And Lin Dongsheng could be sure that it was definitely bought by someone, and the price wasn’t low!
Xue Mu smiled, “Some people say I’m like the Harmony Sect, some say I’m like the Divine Mechanic Sect, and this time there’s another Zong Heng Dao.”
Lin Dongsheng also knew that he had asked a stupid question and shook his head and laughed, “Then what exactly is the Dao of General Manager Xue? Don’t tell me it’s the Star Moon Sect, there’s no way the Star Moon Sect would ever generalize this.”
Xue Mu didn’t have the heart to say, “If I say I’m a Dao, have you guys ever heard of it?”
