Chapter 58 – The Storyteller
Xue Mu was amused in his heart. The original dead face refused to admit poverty, but this time it was huh huh, so it can be seen how big the attraction of ten thousand taels of gold is to Shadow Wing.
This is a strong person who for the sake of money even the most valued face of the jianghu people can not want …… If someone offers gold ten thousand taels, he can really go to assassinate anyone in the world. It’s true that all people have weaknesses, don’t think that killer sects are much more cold, for this kind of sect whose purpose is to exchange money for life, since they can equate money with their lives, their weakness is their greed for money, there’s no doubt about it.
Xue Mu resumed his seat again and leisurely said, “I don’t dare to take a tic, Xue Mou also has the use of your sect …… I wonder if the patriarch has ever thought that the situation of the Windstorm Building is actually a very good starting point to make a lot of money.”
Shadow Wing froze, “How so?”
Xue Mu laughed, “The industries of other sects are hidden everywhere except the capital, but only Windstorm Mansion is in the open. This is your unique advantage.”
Wind and wind building opened all over the world, in general no one and this teahouse over, because no matter whether the righteous or scattered people sometimes need to buy and sell information, buy and kill people …… each take what they need well, unspoken, so this is really open in the open.
After all, the Windstorm House special circumstances, know a little inside information about the characters who will run your killer base to drink tea, even if you know that you will not kill the guests, that is also uncomfortable ah! So the elegant seat is like a sham, in addition to talking about business when no one at all. Along with the civilian business is not compared to other authentic teahouses, expect to earn much money that is not dreaming, not to the inside of the sticker money on the good ……
But the shadow wing know a near closure of the Hundred Flowers Garden is now Xue Mu to get a tide of guests, just like the capital of the first, in this kind of operation calculation Xue Mu is simply like a hole in the virtual authority, he said that the Windstorm House can make money that is probably really can make money. Shadow wing at this moment’s performance completely and the king of killers of the compulsion of the opposite, actually left the seat and rose, carefully added a cup of tea to Xue Mu: “Xue general manager, please say, this seat …… under the ears and ears.”
This seat have become under ……
“Just now all the way here, Xue Mou realized that there are not many guests in the downstairs lobby, and the upstairs elegant seats are even completely empty.” Xue Mu leisurely sipped his tea and asked casually, “I don’t know which aspect Patriarch thinks is more important for a teahouse?”
Shadow Wing hesitated for a moment and shook his head, “Regardless of which aspect, it can’t make a few dollars.”
Xue Mu was dumbfounded and reached out his index finger and shook it, “Patriarch that’s wrong. If I say that after doing a good job with the teahouse, the yearly earnings would even far exceed ten thousand taels of gold, what would Patriarch think?”
Shadow Wing was stunned and subconsciously said, “Impossible!”
I didn’t realize that Xue Mu’s so-called ten thousand taels of gold wasn’t a one-shot deal, but rather a stable annual income! If that’s the case, what’s the point of risking your head on the waist of your pants to be an assassin, just be honest and do the teahouse!
“Because you’re a national chain, there are always three hundred, right?” Xue Mu’s smile was very small and white: “A teahouse earns more than thirty taels, three hundred is not ten thousand taels, it’s not difficult, right.”
Shadow Wing shook his head and said, “Chief Xue is too optimistic. Local customs are very different, even if General Manager Xue has a good plan to increase the capital’s revenue, he may not be able to use it elsewhere.”
Xue Mu laughed, “What if I say it’s bound to go everywhere?”
Shadow Wing categorically said, “Then General Manager Xue is my forever friend of Windstorm House.”
You’re funny, I’m here to give you ideas? That’s a beautiful thought. Xue Mu spat in his heart and smiled on his face, “Take the elegant seats for example, in fact, what Windstorm Mansion lacks isn’t clientele, what it lacks is special good tea. As long as it’s special enough and unique enough, there are people willing to drink it for any amount of money, who cares if you’re a killer base here?”
Shadow Wing laughed, looking rather disappointed, “I thought Chief Xue had some brilliant plan. If I, Windstorm House, can get a different and famous tea, why would I still need Chief Xue’s guidance? I would have gotten rich myself a long time ago.”
Xue Mu laughed and pointed at his nose, “You don’t have special good tea, but Mister Xue does.”
Shadow Wing was calm: “I do believe that if Chief Steward Xue can say that, he must have some credentials. But I think I can’t afford to pay the price that Chief Xue is asking for, I’m sure Windstorm Mansion can’t afford it.”
Xue Mu said indifferently, “I’m sure that even if Mister Xue makes empty promises, Patriarch may not believe them. Then let’s do it this way, let the lobby be full first to show Xue Mou’s sincerity, how about it?”
“How is it full?”
“In the last few days, has Sovereign Xue ever read the short story he wrote?”
Hearing this, Shadowwing revealed a hint of an amused smile, “I’ve read it, Patriarch Xue is a wonderful person. Especially the second story …… hehehe.”
It seemed that this one had guessed the deeper meaning of the second piece. Xue Mu was not amused and leisurely said, “The same rice raises a hundred kinds of people. Some people then like to read stories, some people can’t read and write, so they like to listen to people tell stories …… and even some people are obviously literate, but still like to listen to people tell stories ……”
Listening, Shadow Wing’s smile gradually disappeared and his expression became more and more serious. He suddenly grasped something.
Sure enough, Xue Mu soon continued, “A place like a teahouse is simply too suitable for people to listen to stories, don’t people usually tell rumors with their big mouths and the whole building is listening? Since that’s the case, why don’t we send someone up on stage to tell stories?”
Shadow Wing stood up with an open mind.
Xue Mu’s words still came one sentence at a time, “However, I have to remind Patriarch that general rags to riches stories are useless, others may not love to listen to them, instead they resent you for harassing them to drink tea …… Even if there is some use, it needs to be accumulated over time in order to form people’s habit of listening to stories. ”
Shadow wing paced back and forth a few steps: “Xue chief manager of the words of reason, this plan is feasible, although it may not be able to dozens of taels of gold increase, but the victory in the stability of the …… just don’t have a teahouse will learn this hand, once our side is not yet ripe it, don’t have a better story first to grab the guests, this seat instead for people for marriage. Need to quickly hit the name of the story, first the Windstorm House flag erected, this plan only makes sense, I do not know Xue chief can have a way?”
This business sense is not bad ah, looks like than Xue Qingqiu understand business, the most like to talk business with this kind of person …… Xue Mu smiled, “There is.”
“Wish to hear the details.”
“Of course there’s a kind of story that can quickly get people crowding in to hear it.” Xue Mu was still pointing at his nose, “That would be Sanhao Xue Sheng’s new work.”
Shadow Wing was stunned, crying and laughing, but had to admit that it was really reasonable, Sanhao Xue Sheng recently is really very popular, the emperor praised not to mention, there are countless uninspired literati as the enlightened master, the people of the capital is eagerly awaiting what new tricks he has. Not to mention new works, is to repeat those two old works, are more people to listen.
After all is said and done, or lack of him can’t, this guy really won’t send ideas for people for nothing, the fundamental purpose is to tie people up.
But this kind of cooperation is visible, than just that don’t know what bird of new tea has temptation more, shadow wing is very happy to do a pilot cooperation in this matter, once confirmed that Xue Mu really reliable, that new tea proposal can also try, maybe can really stabilize the annual income of tens of thousands of taels of gold, that for the development of the clan is really a great merit… …
In fact, what Shadow Wing does not know is that Xue Mu simply has not developed the “fried tea” in his mind, the so-called new tea, knowing that Shadow Wing will not easily accept this kind of cost proposal, deliberately thrown out to whet the appetite, the real intention is still in the back of the proposed storyteller.
Storyteller, one of the primary enlightenment of the entertainment industry, which carries the value is not Shadow Wing can not imagine at this moment.
Through the mouth of a storyteller, Xue Mu could easily spread the private goods carried in his stories to every corner of the world. In the future, if it developed and matured, there might still be something that could be hooked up with that Department Six business.
For example,…… Jianghu Wind Media? Spreading news?
Of course this is another matter, still far away. Nowadays, the visible use is to make Windstorm House inseparable from itself, not to mention assassination, even if someone else wants to find their own trouble, Windstorm House will fight them to the death.
Xue Mu continued to draw up a pie: ”My Sanhao Xue Sheng’s fame has now spread beyond the capital, and I believe that it will soon be known throughout the world. As long as Sanhao Xue Sheng’s new work has this name, guests will definitely want to hear what this person has written……. This time I’ll use a long story, a short section a day, to hook people. It won’t take more than a few days for Windstorm House to become overcrowded.”
Shadow Wing sighed: “Chief Xue doesn’t need to say anything, I understand all the benefits. What does General Manager Xue want, might as well make it clear.”
Xue Mu smiled faintly, “Mister Xue has always believed that you and my family are natural collaborators. Mister Xue doesn’t want anything else, as long as we deepen our cooperation in another area, then Mister Xue won’t take a penny for his new work, and will give it to him with his hands as a sign of his sincerity.”
Shadow Wing narrowed his eyes, “What Chief Xue is referring to is ……”
Xue Mu said word for word: “Information sharing, intelligence exchange.”
Shadow Wing was instantly moved.
