Chapter 143 Live Demonstration
The next day, Hua Lanting got up and washed up, tidied up, and came outside Tiangang Hall to receive special training on time.
After waiting for a while, the people arrived, he found that it was not the eight of them mentioned before. He and Lin Xianjing, Yi Liunian, Zhuge Yun and Wen Yin were all there, but the other three girls did not appear. They were replaced by tall and big female disciple Dao Qiongsi and short and thin opponent He Dao Yi, who had been missing for a long time.
These two are not unfamiliar with them. After asking, they received a temporary notice last night and did not know the inside story.
At this time, the gate of Tiangang Hall opened and a person walked out was an old woman with a Taoist robe without makeup, taller and taller than the sword Qiongsi, with a head full of silver silk. She looked quite old last year, and she looked very ordinary and even a little ugly, but there were no wrinkles on her face, especially her eyes, bright and clear like a girl, with a soft and smiling look, making people feel like spring breeze.
Hua Lanting sighed in his heart, and there was a saying that goes: When a person gets old, his best state is that his eyes are full of stories, but his face is not full of wind and frost. It is most appropriate to describe this woman.
The old mother looked around the seven people and said, "Good morning, mother-in-law, I am Wang Jinlian, the chief visiting teacher of the Tiangang Palace Teaching Group, and I will be responsible for your training."
Yi Liunian had not completely sobered up after a hangover last night. His son was a little dizzy at this moment. In addition, he was the only couple of him and Wen Yin gathered together, which made him very happy. He focused all his thoughts on Wen Yin. After listening to Wang Jinlian's words, he agreed in a delusion:
"Oh, hello to teach me, I am Yi Liunian."
The other six people immediately swallowed the greetings that had reached their mouths and stared at Yi Liunian together. Wen Yin simply kicked him, and the scene was a little awkward.
Wang Jinlian was also stunned for a moment, but she didn't get angry. She just smiled and said to Yi Liunian: "Xiao Yi, right? You can talk about it. Your self-introduction is very unique and impressive. That, Aunt Pan, I, well, remember you."
Yi Liunian also reacted and shrank his neck.
It was not cold in the early morning sun. Under Wang Jinlian's gentle gaze, he inexplicably felt a little cold when his back spine and his neck were connected.
Wang Jinlian ignored him and said, "For some reasons, the personnel configuration has been temporarily adjusted in the door. The others will form a reserve candidate team to join the tour alone. You seven will be the main players in this competition."
After glanced around, she said, "I don't need to introduce my name, I know it. They are all handsome men and beautiful women. Dao Qiongsi is born tall and big like me. In my experience, are there often male disciples who feel ashamed of themselves in front of you?"
Dao Qiongsi learned from Yi Liunian's lesson and answered honestly: "What you always say is that there are often short male disciples who take the initiative to talk to me, but most of them ask me if I am so tall and strong, I have eaten a lot."
Wang Jinlian smiled again: "Tell you an experience first, and then someone will ask you later, and tell him: You are so short and so young, why don't you sell cooked cakes?"
Seven people smiled.
Wang Jinlian continued to speak softly and said softly: "The special training lasts for three days. The task I accept is to squeeze out your potential, polish your cooperation, and to use singles, doubles and mixed team battle abilities. By the way, I almost forgot that I can also get beaten and fight against blows, and all of them will be improved by a higher level. Don't hold back during the training later, be sure to do your best."
"I heard that some of you have seen the Honey Badger Flathead Brother, so this time our special training slogan is to be indifferent to life and death, and if you don't accept it, just do it! Old lady, Aunt Pan, I just want to kill you, or to kill you."
Now everyone felt the chill that was soaking.
Three days later, everyone understood why the departure date was scheduled for seven days later, because one of them could not get out of the ground, they were all in bed, and they didn't care if they took the pills.
During the training, they were slapped by Wang Jinlian countless times from the inside to the outside, either with flesh palms or spiritual power. Wang Jinlian's cultivation has nothing to do with it, namely the three words "fast, accurate, and ruthless", as fast as a ghost, as accurate as a ruler, and as fierce as a hammer.
In the end, everyone was aroused to share the same hatred of the enemy. Only by relying on the cooperation and complementary methods of each other's martial arts and techniques can they be reduced in the number of beaten times. This basically met the requirements of special training and was carried back to their respective residences.
Seven days later, Hua Lanting packed all kinds of spiritual treasures, medicines and equipment given to him by the other division commanders from the door he received, and then everyone gathered together to wait for the meeting with Shang Chenxi to set off.
Before leaving, the leader of the competition came to meet them briefly. This person was the first deputy hall master of Tiangang Hall. The old man was named Lu Duanshao. He had red hair, a red face, and was full of energy. He spoke loudly, which shocked everyone to use his spiritual power to protect his ears. What Hua Lanting didn't expect was that the fourth senior brother Shu Luntai was also present.
Lu Duanshao didn't say too much, and only said that this trip was not as simple as imagined, and there might be unexpected difficulties, but he also comforted everyone not to think too much, as long as they follow the command of all actions. In addition, before arriving at the competition, he and Shu Luntai would only accompany him secretly but would not show up easily, so that they could obey Shang Chenxi's arrangements in everything.
After Lu Duan burned away, Shu Luntai stayed and told Hua Lanting that Yun Yiqi said to him, meaning that the richest businessman in Xianzhou was intricate and asked them to try their best to have a good relationship with Shang Chenxi during their itinerary, and learn more about business matters.
Not long after, they waited outside the mountain gate to the merchant's convoy.
Shang Chenxi was still as generous as ever. As soon as he met, he gave each of the seven people three modified versions of the flashing thunder flame beads as a meeting gift.
Hua Lanting and Shang Chenxi are old acquaintances. They also met another acquaintance in the caravan, which was Niu Kelian, the leader of the Zhulian Gang and Bike Village whom they met in the Wulan Mountains. This man was later taken over by Shang Chenxi because of his business talent. This time he helped to arrange the business next to Shang Chenxi, and it seems that he has become a confidant.
Another person worth noting is an old man. Shang Chenxi called him Bao Jian Bo. He seemed to be a master in charge of protecting the second young master of the merchant. This man followed Shang Chenxi and stayed with him, his eyes half open and half closed, as if he was closed, and he ignored others.
The merchant's convoy was very grand, with more than twenty carts and dozens of people. After departure, except for Hua Lanting, Lin Xianjing, Yi Liunian and Zhuge Yun, the other three were invited to ride in a luxury carriage with Shang Chenxi, Niu Kelian and Bao Jianbo, the other three arranged separate carriages.
The caravan walked forward in a row. After leaving Mengbishenghua Mountain, he increased his speed. The people who pulled the cart were selected and the spirit beasts could not feel the bumps at all while sitting in the cart. There were all kinds of American wine and fruits in the cart.
On the way, Shang Chenxi and Niu Kelian were both very active and talked to the four of them. According to him, the itinerary was not tight, and there were several transactions to negotiate before reaching the destination. You could travel around the country and the waters at other times.
When it was getting dark, the convoy entered a town called Xiao Qingyang. After the Dajian Hotel Convoy settled, Shang Chenxi took seven people to the street.
The town is not big or small, but it is quite prosperous. Everyone casually found a small restaurant on the street to have a meal.
During the meal, Hua Lanting remembered Yun Yiqi's instructions, found a topic, and asked, "Mr. Shang Er, I see this restaurant facing the street and corner, with a good location, and the business should be good. Why aren't there many customers coming?"
Shang Chenxi said: "Good question. Last time I was in Wulan Mountain, I seemed to have a puzzle for you. This time, let Lao Niu answer this question, and I will teach you a lesson for a few kids."
Niu Kelian wiped his mouth, twisted his fat body, looked around and laughed before he could speak. The standard businessman style: "The location is indeed excellent, and the business is not good. Apart from the external factors of the size of the town, it is mostly poor management."
The hotel owner happened to come to refill the tea. The man looked like an honest person. He was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he asked with a smile: "The customer is right. The business of our store was very prosperous, but since his father passed away and handed it to me, the villain was clumsy and his situation became worse and worse. I wonder if you have any experience to teach me?"
Niu Kelian smiled and said, "Look at you being honest, I will tell you a few words. Let me ask you, what is in your corner basket?"
The boss turned around and replied, "Oh, isn't this business bad? I bought a lot of fruits from my relatives in the countryside, thinking about making money, but the sales were average, and the remaining fruits in several baskets were filled with the fruits that started to rot. After tonight, I had to throw them away."
Niu Kelian asked Hua Lanting: "In accordance with you, how should we deal with these rotten fruits so that we can avoid wasting them?"
Hua Lanting walked over and checked it, and replied: "Almost all moldy and rotten, so you must not be able to sell it. At most, you will be discounted and discounted. Maybe someone will buy it in a basket and feed it to livestock or something."
Niu Kelian shook his head, asked Hua Lanting to take some, and asked the boss to bring a knife. His pair of fat fingers as fat as drumsticks were extremely flexible. He peeled and cut a pile of rotten fruit into pieces in just a few seconds, then fiddled with a shape, made a beautiful fruit platter, and said to the boss:
"If you want to attract customers, you should use the waste and use the fruit plate as a gift after meals to please customers. If you want to cash in, you can increase it by five times or ten times according to the cost price. Businessmen or rich people like us who want to save face in front of customers or friends will not care about these small money, don't you think so?"
The boss likes to move on and claims to be good.
Niu Kelian pointed to a stall outside the store and asked, "Well, does that girl sells things at your door, have it something to do with you?"
The boss replied: "If you say that, that's a little girl. My son and I are in charge of the restaurant. Zhuojing does some clothing needlework in the backyard, and my daughter sells it at the stall. Anyway, I'm idle and I'm idle, so I can supplement the household income."
Niu Kelian then asked, "How did you sell your scarf shawl?"
Boss: "The value is too low, and you can't use the upper and lower-grade spirit stones. One price is only three pieces of scattered and inferior spirit stones used by ordinary people."
Niu Kelian was willing to show off. He asked everyone to watch. He and the boss went downstairs and stood in front of the stall.
After a while, Lao Niu first let some pedestrians pass by, stopped a group of young men and women dressed in relatively bright clothes, and asked the person in the lead: "Young man, seeing the weather getting colder, should you add a handmade and refined plush shawl to the beautiful female companion in advance? Warming is secondary, and the key is heartwarming."
Before the young man could speak, her female companion had already pursed her lips and looked at him with a smile.
The young man blushed and asked, "How to sell it? Uncle."
"It's not expensive, one piece of thirty low-grade spirit stones, and a pure silk scarf is included."
"I'm going, why don't you go and grab it? This is too outrageous!"
Niu Kelian: "Oh, young man, asking for the price everywhere, and paying the money when you land on the ground. You are so handsome, can't you bargain? Come on, can't you ask me if I sell three spirit stones?"
"Then... three... no, will a piece of low-grade spirit stone be sold?"
"Anyway, I'm going to close the stall and go home, I'll sell it! Young man, how many items do you want with your friends? I'll give you a 20% discount for more than ten items."
When he returned to the upper floor, the boss smiled from ear to ear. That's right, this transaction was worth his daughter's usual three or two-month investment.
Shang Chenxi said to Hua Lanting and others: "How?"
Yi Liunian said: "It's eye-opening. Brother Niu is so awesome. He has such a smart mind. I am a straight man. I really don't have these colorful intestines."
Shang Chenxi turned to a serious expression and said, "Old Niu has talent, but these abilities are also learned through hard work. Lao Niu, tell the boys about your experiences and hardships when you were young."
Niu Kelian nodded and said, "The boss said it well. When I was young, I worked hard in many industries. For a few years, I specialized in buying and selling Feng Shui and spiritual cemeteries. For this reason, I went to almost every household in the surrounding villages and went to many cultivation sects to promote it."
"I summed it up after a year: I asked to meet a total of 2,358 people, of which 1,105 were willing to listen to me, 310 expressed interest in further understanding, and 120 of them would go to the scene with me, 82 would consider it seriously, 59 would be moved, and would ask me to discuss specific issues, 38 decided to buy, and finally a twenty-four business was sold."
"I got a commission of 4,100 spirit stones. After deducting various costs, I actually earned 3,000 spirit stones. So at that time I concluded that every time I asked for a potential target guest, I could earn a multi-spirited stone."
Shang Chenxi said, "Did you hear it? Merchants are very interested in profits. They come to make money and are born for profits, but they are willing to work hard to make money and pay for profits. There is never a free supper in this world."
"Boss, check out."
"Nineteen spirit stones, the account of the seven of you. Old Niu, look back to find Mu Zi of the Wanxiangmen to calculate your appearance fee and class time fee."
"Remember, I have to share half of it."
