Another world conquest manual

Chapter 114 Reaching the intention and purchasing the rabbits (Part 1)



Yang Boli is now in his seventies and has been the head shopkeeper of Zibaoxuan for decades.

In addition, he was born in a top family like the Yang family in Ziqiong City. It can be said that he has experienced countless storms and waves in his past life, and his experience is extremely profound.

He belongs to the kind of super "big heart" whose expression remains unchanged even when Mount Tai collapses in front of him.

But this time, he really didn't hold back the expression on his face, which was full of shock.

There is no other reason.

At his status, he really knows what Ma Ning's offer means.

A hundred years ago, the beast tide in the Great Mo Realm would occur once every ten years on average, and the cycle was relatively long.

But now, as the spiritual energy becomes increasingly thinner, there seems to be some changes in the contact between the two worlds.

As a result, the frequency of the appearance of space channels has been greatly shortened to once every three to five years.

As the frequency of space passages shortens, the frequency of beast tides also increases.

The number of siege battles is naturally the same as looking at the A-share trend chart upside down. It keeps rising, and occasionally it will hit the daily limit.

During a siege, the defenders will inevitably consume a lot of resources.

For example, formations, and talismans.

Among the numerous talismans, one of the most useful talismans is the detonating talisman.

Compared with other talismans, the requirements for using the detonating talisman are extremely low. It only requires about two levels of Qi training to activate.

In stark contrast to the conditions of use, the detonating talisman has an explosion radius of up to five meters, which is powerful enough to harm ordinary first-order monsters.

In the absolute killing zone of two to three meters, monsters in the late first level may be seriously injured or even killed.

All in all, this is a very convenient and powerful talisman.

Because of this, the annual output of Da Mo Realm detonating talismans is very high.

But no matter how high the output of the detonating talisman is, it is still an extraordinary item. During the production process, it requires the consumption of refining materials and part of the refiner's spiritual power.

So in terms of price, the price of a first-level detonating talisman has been floating between two and four spirit stones, and the specific price varies depending on the effect.

To be honest, the price of a single detonating talisman is not very expensive, but you can't only use one talisman in a siege, right?

Not to mention talismans for cleaning the floor and so on, each person should be equipped with five or six, right?

Once the purchase volume reaches a certain base, the related expenses are not a small amount.

For example, the Wei Mansion in previous years.

In previous years, when the Wei Mansion was in Lunfang Market, the revenue from monster materials could reach about four to five thousand spirit stones. Specialties such as colorful vines could also be sold for one or two thousand spirit stones if they were lucky.

Ziqiongfang City opens every three to four years, so these six to seven thousand spirit stones will be the core income of the Wei family within three to four years.

On a simple average, the amount of spiritual stones earned in a year ranges from a thousand and a half to a maximum of two thousand three.

After deducting the annual expenses and daily consumption of the clan members, the Wei Mansion would be able to spend a thousand handfuls of spirit stones to purchase the detonating talisman during the intermission period of the beast tide.

The total number is probably between seven and eight hundred.

Theoretically, the number of monsters that these seven or eight hundred detonating talismans can kill is about four thousand, but in actual combat, they can only kill one or two thousand.

It is definitely useful, but it cannot be used in large quantities.

This is the case in Chi County City, and it is actually similar in Zi Qiong City.

It is true that Ziqiong City is a huge city with rich heritage, but the beast tide it needs to defend is also many times more powerful than Chixian City.

In the latest beast wave that Zi Qiong City encountered, the total number of monster beasts, including ordinary un-entered monster beasts, even reached seven digits!

Because of this, Ziqiong City needs a huge amount of city defense materials.

Before the beast tide began, the permanent population of Chixian City was about 10,000 (excluding refugees from outside), and the number of practitioners from all the families in the city was about three to four hundred.

The population of Ziqiong City is more than two hundred times that of Chixian City. Using the simplest geometric series conversion, the number of practitioners in Ziqiong City will not be less than 70,000 or 80,000.

And actually.

Since the overall productivity far exceeds Chi County City, the number of practitioners that Ziqiong City can support is close to 200,000 - of course, a considerable number of them are low-level practitioners.

Even if each of these 200,000 practitioners holds ten first-level detonating talismans, the total required during the siege is as high as two million!

The purchase price of an ordinary first-level detonating talisman that costs three spirit stones is about 2.5 spirit stones, which is a 15% profit.

The purchase price of two million spiritual stones is more than five million spiritual stones!

According to Yang Boli's earlier thoughts, the word "cheap" in Ma Ning's mouth would mean lowering the cost by 0.1-0.2 spirit stones at most.

This kind of discount is quite substantial to be honest, but that’s all.

Far from being able to alarm Yang Boli, any person with relatively high authority in Zibaoxuan like Zhao Zhicai has the authority to handle it.

But if it is according to what Ma Ning said.

The purchase price of this kind of happy stick is only one spiritual stone, and it can be activated without even spiritual energy.

Then even just filling the inventory of Ziqiong City can reduce the expenditure of three million spirit stones!

Three million spirit stones, this is already the price of three small spirit stone veins.

Even Ziqiong City cannot ignore it.

Not to mention that Ma Ning's meaning is actually very clear. Tao Zhu Chamber of Commerce only wants to be an upstream merchant, so they are willing to entrust Zibaoxuan to sell these happy bars.

The population of the cities within the radiation range of Ziqiong City reaches more than 10 million.

Thinking of this,

Yang Boli's nose contracted heavily, he adjusted his breathing, and looked at Ma Ning solemnly:

"Shopkeeper Ma, how many of these 67-style happy bars can you provide? Can you give me a discount? And can you guarantee the quality?"

Facing Yang Boli's three consecutive questions, Ma Ning thought for a while and said with a smile:

"Shopkeeper Yang, to be honest, our stock of Happy Bars is not too much, only a few hundred million.

For the first batch, in addition to the 10,000 happy sticks we carry, I can decide to provide you with an additional 50,000 pieces.

At the same time, in order to show our sincerity, I will only accept 40,000 spiritual stones from you out of 50,000. Of course, this price is FOB price. "

Yang Boli blinked and asked:

"FOB?"

"In short, this price does not include labor expenses such as freight."

Ma Ning did not explain to him the specific concepts of FOB price and CIF price:

"We are only responsible for transporting the goods to Chixian City, and the related expenses for transporting from Chixian City to Ziqiong City need to be borne by you.

As for the quality issue, it is still to show our sincerity. We can send the goods to Ziqiong City first, and you can randomly select some for inspection until you are satisfied! "

After saying this, Ma Ning shook his head, with a hint of bitterness on his face:

"Shopkeeper Yang, I won't lie to you either.

Fifty thousand happy sticks only buy 40,000 spiritual stones. We are selling them at a total loss. We really can't afford more.

So if we both want to cooperate for a long time in the future, the discount price may only be around 10% off. "

When Yang Boli heard this, he was silent.

He actually half-believed Ma Ning's statement about losing money.

After all, doing business is all about one word, and there are many people who say they are losing money but are actually making a lot of money.

But on the other hand.

Considering that this is the first time that Tao Zhu Chamber of Commerce has come to Ziqiong City, it is possible that after making tens of thousands of spirit stones by bargain hunting, it is possible to sell at a loss for the purpose of opening up the market.

A similar approach has been used by Zibaoxuan. It exchanges profits and losses in the early stage to gain market share, and then slowly makes profits after everything has gained a firm foothold. This is also a very common routine in shopping malls.

So after careful consideration, Yang Boli made a preliminary judgment:

Even if the price quoted by Ma Ning is not a loss price, it should not be far from the cost price.

After deducting various miscellaneous expenses, the possibility of making money is not very high.

After all, the power of the Happy Stick is comparable to that of the Explosive Talisman. No matter what secret method Tao Zhushang uses, the cost of producing this kind of power cannot be reduced infinitely.

The cost price of a happy stick is about 0.8 spirit stones, which should be close to ten.

Thinking of this, Yang Boli's sense of Tao Zhu Chamber of Commerce became much better.

“What a sincere and generous partner”

After thinking about this, Yang Boli nodded to Ma Ning:

"Shopkeeper Ma, let's go with this price. When will the contract be signed?"

"Shopkeeper Yang, don't worry about the contract."

Ma Ning waved his hand cheerfully and said to Yang Boli:

"Shop Manager Yang, are you interested in taking a look at our other sticks? They are black, long, thick, and very fast."

There is a rule in the starting point. If you publish a single chapter, you will lose the follow-up, even if it is an extra chapter, it is the same, because some readers only want to read the main text.

So before I wrote the extra chapter, I was prepared for the loss today. I expected the loss to be 300. The last time I lost 300, it took me a week to get it back. I pray that it won’t exceed this number.

Please ask for a monthly pass. When the order book is sluggish, only a monthly pass can warm your heart.
