Lei Dong I have seen the accounts before. The annual net income of this elixir shop is about three hundred thousand souls.§.•´¨'°÷•..× ×,.•´¨'°÷•..§ In other words, if everything goes on the original track and continues to operate normally, it will take twelve years for Lei Dong to be able to make a profit. But that's not entirely the case. This store is in a good location, Lei Dong can re-transfer the store at any time. At the price of 3.5 million souls, there are still people who are willing to take it. In this Yin Sha Sect's territory, Lei Dong is still not afraid of people daring to forcibly swallow up his store property.

Therefore, it is quite cost-effective to spend a huge amount of money to purchase this store.

The former shopkeeper, who was on the second floor of the Foundation Establishment Realm, had a surname of Qian. He was born as a young Lineage. Now he is over eighty years old and looks a bit old. He has no chance of golden elixir in this life.

Now, his only wish is to earn more Spirit Stone, hoping that one of his grandchildren will have outstanding qualifications. Then he will invest all his resources on that descendant, give him Foundation Establishment, and give him a golden elixir. His basic annual salary is 10,000 lings, but he can get 1% of the business income, and the final annual income is about 30,000 lings.

This income, to the core disciples like Lei Dong who came from the Yin Sha Sect, seems to be a little less. But in fact, among monks of the same level and origin, his annual income is already very large, and it is very stable. At his age, he will not be able to work for another forty or fifty years. Question. I can also save a large sum of Spirit Stone for Lineage. Maybe some descendant can rely on this Spirit Stone to push Lineage to the Golden Core level level and become prosperous from then on.

Moreover, he may also get some windfall [The Great Devil updated by Little Mei], such as buying and selling some personal belongings. Or, like what Lei Dong once experienced, robbing a fat sheep who can live without company, etc. If he can't handle it alone, he will contact someone. Hands.🎉ൠ 🐤👤 Therefore, there are usually many people rushing to be the shopkeepers of this kind of shop. Those who have no skills really cannot be the shopkeepers. For shopkeepers, it would be perfect if they could save a large amount of Spirit Stone and then start a shop by themselves. Many shops also started their business in this way.

At this moment, Lei Dong is wearing a red and black outfit with Blood-colored Cloak tied on his shoulders and back. He looks particularly energetic and in excellent condition. He is sitting on a sandalwood chair, enjoying a leisurely cup of tea. He looked at Shopkeeper Qian leisurely. He was dripping with sweat and felt guilty. He was afraid that the new owner would fire him. After all, it would not be easy to find a job that could guarantee income during droughts and floods and earn extra money.

Of course, what's more, I'm afraid of the new owner. After hearing the news, Lao Qian had already made some inquiries in private. He found out that this new owner is Yin Sha Sect. The core disciple of Myriad Ghost Cave, he is only favored by the famous Myriad Ghost Ancestor. And he himself is also an extremely powerful person. It is said that he easily killed Huangfu Ce, the ninth-level fellow disciple of Yimou Foundation Establishment Realm. And the cloak on his back should be Blood-colored Cloak. Lao Qian heard that because of this cloak, this young master even beheaded one of the Demon Prison Sect's purchasing deacons stationed in the Heavenly Dao Alliance and robbed everything he had on him. There was a fuss about this matter for a while, but in the end, Yin Sha Sect supported it, and Demon Prison Sect was in the wrong, so he swallowed his breath.

This shows that Master Lei may not have a very good temper.

He is always willing to kill people. I heard that he liked to kill people very much when he was in Qi Refining Stage. When he got to the Foundation Establishment Realm, it was even more incredible. Even the younger chief disciple of Carefree Dao was beheaded by him. This made Lao Qian so awed that he didn't even dare to breathe in front of him. Moreover, that Blood-colored Cloak, Hong Wu lingering endlessly, it is indeed Top Grade Spirit Item. To be honest, Lao Qian has never seen Top Grade Spirit Item in his life. With all the extra money he earned in this life, if he doesn't spend it, he may only be able to buy this one. Lao Qian also heard that the new owner has more than one top-quality power weapon.

With this kind of boss, Lao Qian doesn't even know whether he is lucky or unlucky. 💞💣  ♠🐟But he knows one thing, it is no longer his turn to decide whether to stay or not. He allows himself to stay, and he has to stay even if he doesn't. He lets himself go, I had to go if I didn't want to. I was in awe and fear in my heart. I answered every word of Lei Dong with trepidation, and all my words were to blame Mr. Lei. Especially when I saw that my boss didn't seem to be disgusted by the title and actually enjoyed it, Lao Qian called him even more. He became happy. "Old Qian, I heard that you have been in this store for fifteen years, and you have worked hard for a long time." Lei Dong said with a smile, "I wonder if you have your own ideas about the management of this store? Tell me, How to improve the ability of our store to make money." Lao Qian knew that this was a test for him by the new owner. He didn't dare to be careless, so he cleared his throat and said seriously, "In reply to Mr. Lei, Lao Qian does have some ideas of his own. Now the goods in our store are The sources are all from the Great Ding Kingdom, several cultivated alchemy Lineage. It's not that our purchase price is higher than elsewhere. I just think that we can also expand the supply of goods. For example, some sects Lineage often have some extra elixirs in order to cultivate and refine Alchemist. If we go to buy them, the price will be lower. Secondly, due to the restrictions on some elixir materials, the price of our locally produced elixirs will be higher. And in some production areas, the prices will be lower. Two or three percent more. If we can keep the purchase price of each type of elixir to the lowest, we can naturally make more profits. Thirdly, Mr. Lei is from the Yin Sha Sect. If we can use our connections to get some low-priced but high-quality elixirs from the Yin Sha Sect, that would be the best. Mr. Lei may not know it well, but Yin Sha Sect belongs to a large sect, and his subordinates are very good at refining Alchemist. With the same materials, the elixirs produced are of slightly higher quality and are quite popular."

Lei Dong closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then said, "What you said, Lao Qian, are all strategies to reduce costs. Are there any tricks on how to increase revenue and increase customer flow?"

"This?" Lao Qian thought carefully for a long time, with sweat stains on his head. After a long while, he replied, "In reply to Mr. Lei, Lao Qian thought that only by treating every customer sincerely can we accumulate credibility. In addition, we must win over more coffin customers, give them more benefits, and attract more people to our store."

As soon as he said this, Lei Dong knew that he didn't have a good idea. Lei Dong then smiled and said, "Actually, Lei has some layman's ideas. Let me tell you, old man."

When Lao Qian heard this, he hurriedly put on a look of listening and expecting.

"If you want to increase the store's revenue, the first thing to consider is to increase the number of daily customers. What you just mentioned is just one of the ways. I looked at the account books before and found that the main business targets of our store are from Qi Refining Stage Cultivator and Foundation Establishment Realm monks, among which Qi Refining Cultivator Body The revenue from this accounted for more than 70%. This is good, although the price of Qi Refining Stage Cultivator's elixirs is much cheaper than that of the Foundation Establishment Realm monks. But what is the most common thing in the world? Birds in the sky? Fish in the water? In my opinion, it is actually Qi Refining Stage Cultivator. Little Lineage member, Rogue Cultivator, the bottom disciple of each sect." Lei Dong paused for a moment, then smiled again, "Lei is also a person who came from the Qi Refining cultivator. Do you understand what the Qi Refining cultivator is thinking? Every Qi Refining cultivator, no matter how poor his qualifications, is a little younger. Their hearts Zhong also cherishes a dream. One day, one can become a Foundation Establishment Realm monk and dominate the world. Of course, let's not mention whether Foundation Establishment Realm monk can really dominate the world. But for young Qi refining monks, Foundation Establishment is the biggest dream."

Lao Qian's eyes lit up and he agreed, "Young Master Lei is right. Even some older Qi Refining monks are trying their best to cultivate Foundation Establishment. Their desire is very strong. On the other hand, older Foundation Establishment Realm monks like us have much less delusions about Golden Dan because it is too difficult."

"If you want Foundation Establishment, even if you are very qualified, you must have the assistance of elixirs." Lei Dong smiled while drinking tea, "This is one of the reasons why Lei is planning to specialize in elixirs. Because as long as there are elixirs, Qi refining monks will have hope. Therefore, on several commonly used types of elixirs, we You have to play some tricks. For example, Lesser Vitality Pill and Pill for Cultivating Origin, which are very consuming elixirs, are all sold in limited quantities at low prices. In this way, the flow of people in our store will increase dramatically, and when there are more people, the atmosphere will be hot. What's more, when there are more people, the sales of other elixirs will also increase dramatically."

"Mr. Lei, I understand this cheap price. But it is sold in limited quantities..." Lao Qian said doubtfully.

"It's very simple. Each person can only buy five or ten of these low-priced elixirs every day. If you want more, you have to buy them at the original price. In this way, even if other competitors want to play tricks, we can easily deal with them."

"What a great idea, what a great idea." Lao Qian's eyes lit up, but he quickly said worriedly, "It's just Mr. Lei, ww. anh. m If we sell it at a low price, what should we do if other elixir shops come to trouble us, using some dirty means? After all, we will take away their business."

"Looking for trouble?" Lei Dong laughed, but his face became unusually cold. "If you compete according to business rules, Lei will welcome you.

If you want to play some tricks behind your back, hey, couldn't it be that Lei grew up a vegetarian? Lei welcomes such people even more, so that Lei can kill him legitimately."

Lao Qian was agitated, and he suddenly remembered the identity and strength of his boss. Today's boss is not the soft persimmon boss of the past, who was often bullied. Lao Qian suddenly became a little more heroic, and he felt faintly proud. It was a good thing to follow a promising boss. It seemed that he saw a bright future.

"We can also do a lot of work to increase the number of customers. For example, we can plan some activities at the entrance of the store, such as competitions to recruit brides, prize contests, etc. By the way, on the day of the new opening, we can also get a batch of Foundation Establishment pills for people to draw lottery..." Lei Dong suddenly thought of the idea of lottery, and it seemed that this was the best way to make money.
