Song Xiaozhu gave them just the right amount, within the Synthesizer's limits.
Qiu Shuyu took the initiative to clear the dishes, which was also a tacit understanding between the two of them: Song Xiaozhu cooked, and she cleaned up afterward.
After eating and drinking his fill, Luo Liuzi completely forgot what Tian Man had told him.
Tian Man could only remind him, "Where's your axe?"
Luo Liuzi: "Oh, right, right, right."
He quickly pulled out 27 yuan from his pocket and gave it to Song Xiaozhu: "I sold the inferior axe for 10 yuan, and a third-grade axe for 20 yuan, deducting the cost of 3 yuan... This is what I earned today!"
The inferior axe was given to them for free by Song Xiaozhu.
They bought the third-class axe for 3 yuan.
This process is simple and straightforward; after deducting the purchase price, the remaining profit is still exorbitant.
Song Xiaozhu calmly said, "I heard from Sister Shuyu that you guys are very capable."
Luo Liuzi's tail immediately seemed to fly into the sky, and even Tian Man couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.
Song Xiaozhu added, "This money is yours to keep; you don't need to give it to me."
Luo Liu's eyes lit up with surprise, but Tian Man's heart skipped a beat. He spoke up before Luo Liuzi could, "We're helping you sell your axes. Um... didn't you say you wanted to open up sales channels?"
Song Xiaozhu: "I've already sold it to you, so it's your axe. What you do with it is your business."
This tone of drawing a clear line made Tian Man panic.
Luo Liuzi didn't catch on at all; he was still thinking, " Master Song is so magnanimous! His attitude of regarding money as dirt is truly admirable!"
Tian Man racked his brains, but he really couldn't figure out where things had gone wrong.
Logically speaking, they've already demonstrated their sales skills; if not making a fortune, they should be making a killing.
Why was Song Xiaozhu not only unhappy, but also slightly dissatisfied?
What was once a close relationship has now been artificially created.
Eye
Seeing that the "clever" Tian Man was getting anxious, Song Xiaozhu continued, "That's not how you calculate it. The so-called cost is definitely not just these 3 yuan."
Tian Man was taken aback, then hurriedly said, "Then... then after deducting the labor costs, the rest is yours..."
Song Xiaozhu shook her head. "It's not just about labor costs."
Tian Man was baffled; this was completely beyond his comprehension. He even felt that Song Xiaozhu was deliberately causing trouble, that she looked down on them and didn't want to help them get rich.
Song Xiaozhu, sensing his mood, said at just the right moment, "On the surface, the cost of these two axes only includes the purchase price and labor costs, but your sales method introduces many hidden costs."
Luo Liuzi was completely bewildered; those words were flying through his mind, he could hear them clearly but couldn't understand them.
At this moment, Qiu Shuyu also finished clearing away the dishes and sat down next to Song Xiaozhu to listen to her talk.
Tian Man understood what was being said, but he didn't understand where the hidden costs came from, so he asked about it.
Song Xiaozhu: "What is Liu Mu's personality like?"
Luo Liuzi knew the answer to this question, and he quickly blurted out, "Petty, calculating, and can't stand seeing others do better than him!"
Tian Man added, "He has a very high opinion of himself and is extremely meticulous."
Song Xiaozhu then asked, "What will happen if he finds out the normal price of an axe?"
Luo Liuzi said disdainfully, "Do whatever you want, he can't beat me anyway!"
Tian Man frowned; he somewhat understood what Song Xiaozhu meant.
Song Xiaozhu looked at Tian Man and said, "I don't do one-off deals. If the axe is priced this high, lumberjacks might buy one out of curiosity to try it out, but it certainly won't last long, and it will also affect the sales of other items later on. It's not worth it."
" Liu Mu will know once it's sold at the normal price."
"It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. It's better if he can beat you, but it's precisely because he can't that he resorts to underhanded tactics."
"As for what he's capable of, you probably know him better than I do."
Tian Man a deep breath and finally understood what "hidden costs" meant.
They seem to have made 27 yuan, nearly ten times the profit, but this money will have to pay for many things that follow.
Liu Mu was indeed no match for Luo Liuzi, much less for him.
But this despicable person never confronts anyone directly; he only tries to disgust people behind their backs.
He and Luo Liuzi would continue selling axes, and Liu Mu would probably pester them like a disgusting maggot...
It's impossible to guard against.
It's truly impossible to guard against.
Moreover, this not only drains their energy but also their reputation.
At first glance, it seems like I made 27 yuan.
Actually, this money is full of disgust.
Tian Man only wanted to showcase his intellect, hoping to gain the appreciation of this young, Awakened...
Little did he expect that his cleverness would displease the other party.
Song Xiaozhu may be young, but she is much more clear-headed than them.
No... it's not just about intellect, it's about vision!
She wasn't looking for a quick buck; she wasn't after short-term gains...
What does she want?
Tian Man's previously low spirits were instantly reignited.
Song Xiaozhu wanted immense wealth!
As long as he follows her, he will surely achieve great things!
Tian Man a deep breath and said, "I'll go take care of this right away." As he spoke, he took the money from Luo Liuzi and put it in his pocket.
Song Xiaozhu nodded, without asking him how to handle it.
Luo Liuzi looked around, his mind filled with questions.
What's going on? What happened? What stage are we at?
Ugh, my head is so itchy, I'm afraid it's starting to grow a brain!
Tian Man pulled Luo Liuzi out the door. Luo Liuzi, "Um... no... how did this happen...?"
Tian Man didn't give him a chance to speak...
What's the point of even discussing sales agency...?
He must handle Liu Mu's matter well; this is a test.
This was a test from Master Song!
After they left, Qiu Shuyu asked curiously, " Xiaozhu, how is Tian Man going to handle this? Liu Mu is a very petty person; they've already offended him. How can they make amends?"
