Song Cai arrived at Dan Jue Peak and found Zhou Wuyou through a flying crane.
"I am Song Cai, the new assistant taken in by Senior Brother Su. Greetings, Senior Brother Zhou!" Song Cai said with a smile.
Zhou Wuyou waved his hand and said, "My name is Zhou Wuyou, I don't dare to be called Senior Brother."
"Haha, Senior Brother is too modest. I just entered the peak a few days ago and there are many things I don't understand. I hope Senior Brother Zhou will not hesitate to teach me in the future," Song Cai said.
"We are all working for Senior Brother Su, no need to be so polite!" Zhou Wuyou said with a smile.
Song Cai then asked curiously, "By the way, Brother Zhou, what kind of things does Senior Brother Su say he sells?"
Zhou Wuyou said, "Oh, it's just that Zhang Wei and I made some pills and magic tools that are not easy to sell. Senior Brother Su happens to have a shop there, so he let us sell them there. In addition, some newcomers we know also have some finished products, and they also put them up for sale in the shop."
Song Cai touched his chin and asked, "I didn't hear Senior Brother Su mention anything about consignment fees."
"Senior Brother means there is no consignment fee," Zhou Wuyou said.
Song Cai was surprised and said, "No consignment fee? What does this mean?"
He fell into deep thought.
"What's the meaning of this? Senior Brother Su said that the shop only has a two-month lease and will be gone after that. It's empty anyway," Zhou Wuyou said casually without thinking too much.
Song Cai heard this, but shook his head and said, "No one would think they have enough Spirit Stones. Although Senior Brother Su didn't say it clearly, I think there must be a deeper meaning!"
"Huh?" Zhou Wuyou was stunned.
He also started to think, but still couldn't figure out the reason.
Because the matter discussed today was also proposed by him and Zhang Wei, it just happened to be a coincidence.
"Is there a possibility that Senior Brother Su wants to run the shop, using the cheap magic tools of these Disciples to warm up the place? If it's successful after two months, Senior Brother Su will continue to do it. If there are no results, he will stop. Otherwise, it's impossible to rent a shop and do useless work! Low Grade items don't make money, but the profit of High Grade items is very high!" Song Cai said with wise eyes.
Zhou Wuyou suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. It seems I am still a bit shallow."
"Moreover, there is actually another purpose, and that is to build reputation!" Song Cai continued, "By providing convenience to his fellow Disciples, Senior Brother Su can make them grateful to him, and eventually gather reputation. Maybe Senior Brother Su's goal is to become the Inner Sect Senior Brother! What he is doing now is just preparing in advance!"
Zhou Wuyou's eyes widened, looking at Song Cai with admiration, "Where are you from, Junior Brother?"
"Hehe, the Song Family of Haoyue City!"
"Could it be the Song Family of the Business Dao Golden Core?"
"Exactly."
Zhou Wuyou showed an expression of sudden realization. No wonder this guy's mind was so flexible. He was indeed a descendant of a Family famous for business.
Song Cai also said, "Brother Zhou, it's best if you can mobilize your connections so that more Disciples know that you are helping Senior Brother Su and providing consignment assistance. You can't have no consignment fee at all, which will make people suspicious. Just say that you only charge a one percent consignment fee, and the more the better. Leave the selling of goods to me!"
"One percent? Only one percent? Isn't that too little? How about five percent?" Zhou Wuyou asked.
"Hehe, Senior Brother Su is not doing this to make money!" Song Cai said.
"That's true!" Zhou Wuyou nodded, "I'll go and mobilize my connections right away. To be honest, I've met too many Alchemists during my year as a handyman! Although they are all low-level. I also have some younger brothers who can help register consignment information and check Spirit Stones. By the way, what about Zhang Wei's side..."
"I've sent my younger brother over. I just need to tell him!"
Song Cai summoned a paper crane, said a few words to it, and the crane flew away on its own.
Soon, both Zhou Wuyou and Zhang Wei became busy.
At the same time, Song Cai and Song Qian also went to the market and mobilized some of the Song Family's personnel in the market. Although most of them were Mortals, it was enough to initially establish the shop's reputation.
Song Cai also specifically consulted his elders at home and received their affirmation and praise, telling him to work hard. The young Inner Sect Disciples are definitely of High Grade Spiritual Roots, and they are from Xuan Jue Peak, so their future is boundless.
Just the next day.
The shop of [Su Yuan Artifact Refining] had already been restocked with some magic tools, pills, and even some Talismans.
These things were clearly of Low Grade, and the prices didn't seem to be high either.
Song Cai and Song Qian were organizing, arranging, and agreeing on prices in the shop, and several Mortal servants were helping out, making it quite lively.
A hundred meters outside the shop, a short boy said to a young Cultivator, "Immortal Master, that's the shop I know in the Seven Absolutes Market that has the best quality, is cheap and affordable! I've been in this market since I was a child and I know everything about it!"
"Really? It's no use lying to me, I don't have many Spirit Stones!" The young man said, tightening his belt.
"Immortal Master, I am just a humble Mortal, how dare I deceive you? I don't want to live anymore!! I definitely won't lie! But you'd better not mention me to others. I'm afraid if other shop owners know that I told you this news, they will harm me." The short boy shrunk his neck and looked around cautiously, as if afraid of being watched.
"Alright, take me to see it first."
Not long after, the young man was pulled by the short boy to the front of the [Su Yuan Artifact Refining] shop. Looking at such a large shop, the young man began to want to back out. The shop was not small, and the rent in the market was not cheap. Although the location was a bit remote, he felt that the things sold were definitely more expensive than those on the street stalls.
He turned his head and saw that the short boy had long disappeared.
"Guest, what are you planning to buy?"
A servant quickly came out and said with a smile, "We sell Low Grade magic tools, pills, and Talismans here. Although they are Low Grade, they are all refined by Seven Absolutes Sect Disciples, so the quality is super high, but the price is very cheap! For example, this Divine Movement Talisman, a Low Grade Talisman, costs one Spirit Stone outside, but here it only costs 98 broken Spirit Stones!"
The servant spoke very quickly and finished speaking in a few sentences.
The young man showed a surprised look: "So cheap?"
In fact, the Divine Movement Talisman costs 103 broken Spirit Stones among rogue Cultivators, which is 5 broken Spirit Stones cheaper here!
"So cheap, won't it be defective?" The young man asked suspiciously.
The servant pointed to a line of words on the wall.
"This is a shop opened by an Inner Sect Disciple of the Seven Absolutes Sect. If defective products are sold and their reputation is ruined, the Inner Sect Disciple behind us will be punished by the Sect himself. Compared to this, how could they possibly cheat you out of these broken Spirit Stones!" the servant said.
The rogue Cultivator youth carefully looked at the writing at the entrance. He knew that in market shops, claiming to be a certain Inner Sect Disciple was truly effective, otherwise the market manager would tear down the shop that day!
At this, the rogue Cultivator youth was moved and said, "Can I go in and take a look?"
"Sure, please come with me, I'll introduce it to you!"
The servant led the young man to the pill area. There were many shelves here, and bottles of pills were placed on them. What surprised the young man was that there were also introductions next to the pills. In addition to the introduction of the pill's effects, there was also a simple introduction of the Alchemist, stating which Alchemist of the Seven Absolutes Sect refined this pill!
For the same type of pill, if refined by different Alchemists, the price would fluctuate?
"Cough cough, Immortal Master, the pills here are all refined by Seven Absolutes Sect Disciples. The price will fluctuate according to the appearance, but the medicinal effects are not much different. You can buy according to your needs, it is definitely worth the money!" The servant said quickly.
The more the rogue Cultivator youth looked, the more he was moved. The Alchemists of the Sect were much better than the wild ones outside. Although he could see that these pills were all novice works, they were definitely much better than the wild Alchemists outside. At least he wouldn't inexplicably eat poisonous pills, evil pills, defective pills, etc.!
And the price was really affordable. Although some prices were slightly higher than those on the street stalls! But some prices were even lower than those on the street stalls!
Touching the only seven Spirit Stones and 238 broken Spirit Stones in his Arms, the rogue Cultivator youth began to look for the goods he needed.
After a while.
The Spirit Stones in the young man's Arms were only left with 1 broken Spirit Stone just in case, and the rest were exchanged for two pills and one Talisman!
The young man left happily.
In the backyard of the shop, a servant handed 2 broken Spirit Stones to the short boy.
"Good job, keep bringing people!"
"Alright, brother!"
Song Cai sat behind the counter, watching the servant's selling process, and nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the selling techniques he taught overnight were useful.
From the beginning, he had set his sales target on low-level rogue Cultivators who were short on money, which is why he had people from the street stalls and the market entrance look for some rogue Cultivators to bring over. These people seemed insignificant, but these rogue Cultivators also liked to stick together and keep warm. Through word of mouth, the shop's customer base would not be a problem.
As expected, it was just as he expected.
In the morning, only a few scattered rogue Cultivators were brought over.
In the afternoon, the number reached more than a dozen!
Many pills and Talismans were sold, and even a Low Grade magic tool was successfully sold at a "high price" of 20 Spirit Stones!
And by the second day of opening.
The number of rogue Cultivators who came soared to over a hundred!
Some of them were rogue Cultivators who had been here yesterday!
Apparently, they had tried the goods in the shop and were very satisfied with the cost-effectiveness here!
By evening.
Song Cai and Song Qian checked the accounts together, both showing surprise.
"Brother, the sales have reached 1358 Spirit Stones! Most of our goods are gone!" Song Qian said in surprise.
"Hehe, it's normal!" Song Cai laughed, "Rogue Cultivators are poor, but they are not fools. This is obviously profitable, so why wouldn't they spend money? You know, we only charge one percent commission. We've been busy for so long and only made 13 Spirit Stones, which is truly doing charity!"
"Brother, what do you think Senior Brother Su's intention is? He didn't even want one percent at first! Should we still work so hard on this useless task?"
Song Cai's eyes gleamed and he said, "You don't understand. Others who sit in the position of Inner Sect Senior Brother, either rely on high cultivation, strong magic arts, or deep background, but none of them have reached that position through this method. This method, similar to the Business Dao, is a bottom-up approach, subtly influencing low-level Disciples. When these low-level Disciples' cultivation improves and they become Outer Sect or Inner Sect Disciples, when Senior Brother Su raises his arm and calls out, wouldn't he be able to sit in the position of Senior Brother..."
"Haha, in the future, when others discover the path of Senior Brother Su's rise, the status of our Business Dao Family will also rise!" Song Cai said with a smile and patted Song Qian's shoulder, "Do you understand?"
