Chapter 105: Comeback Part 2
Chapter 105 Comeback (2)
Jin Ziming began to change the same gray fog into colorless, white, black and colorful.
For example, in the moves "Cold Wind" and "Glacier Wind", the Wrath-Making Spell and the Yin Eye Opening Spell are combined to make the opponent feel like they are in hell.
The color of the fog belt suddenly changed from colorful to thick black, and he immediately used the "Secret of Light" to shoot a dazzling golden light spell in the darkness, instantly "blinding" the opponent, and then severely injured him with the next move.
Once you open your mind, you can evolve endless changes and combinations, and Jin Ziming was immediately addicted to it.
After the transformation, the "Feng Chi Dao" became ghostly and unpredictable.
This set of sword skills has changed its appearance. He named it "Demon Sword" to match his nickname. It is regarded as a signature martial art.
Half a year later, the relationship with Juxingmen entered the honeymoon period. Jin Ziming felt that the time was ripe and was ready to take action.
As the target of his attack, he did not choose the strongest Qingyu Sect, but another one.
Within the jurisdiction of Shuiye City, there are some old mines that use mining machines from Guangxin Sect, a first-level sect in the Dejie.
Jin Ziming once heard Chen Ruiqin and others complain during a chat that the operation and maintenance costs of these old equipment were very high and often exceeded the budget.
Moreover, even if new mineral veins are discovered in these places, due to the backward technology and architecture of the original equipment, it is impossible to mine new minerals by adding several new modules.
The only solution is to purchase a new mining machine, causing the cost to remain high.
These old equipment have become a problem for Gongjiantang. They are tasteless and it is a pity to abandon them.
Jin Ziming has great ambitions. He wants to replace all the Guangxin Sect's mining sites in Shuiye City at once, and no longer like his predecessors who just made small fuss here.
He decided to play a big game and not only break through Shuiye City, the opponent's base, but also become a big supplier directly.
To do it in such a big way, there must be a good reason, and the Shuiye Station and Leiming Branch of Juxing Gate need to understand:
What are the quantifiable benefits of such a transformation?
He had an idea and thought of the problem of "consuming spiritual stones exceeding the budget" and decided to start from here.
Jin Ziming asked Chen Ruiqin to bring up the statistical data on the spiritual stone consumption of Guangxinmen equipment over the years, and then took Hong Jingqian to visit the relevant mining sites.
While confirming the accuracy of the data, corrections were made, and complaints from front-line staff about the equipment were also recorded in a list.
He began to calculate, taking three years as a cycle, deducting the spiritual stones required for equipment operation from the spiritual mine income, which is the net income.
Comparing the two situations of continuing to use Guangxin Sect and replacing it with Lingyun Sect, the latter is extremely competitive.
The only problem now is that the price of replacement equipment cannot be expensive. Lingyun Sect has special subsidies for access to the Qingyumen closed market, so you can apply for it.
But after some calculations, I am very troubled:
To satisfy the Star Gathering Sect, the Lingyun Sect will suffer a huge loss.
Obviously, it cannot all be done through subsidies, otherwise it will put great pressure on the sects and branches.
Jin Ziming thought for a long time and found that he could play this "game" only by "eating meat to nourish the body" while replacing.
He had to temporarily give up the fantasy of eating it all in one go. In order to determine replacement targets, he designed a screening principle:
First of all, we should start from large mining areas where there are many complaints and it is easy to obtain support.
Secondly, new mineral veins have been discovered in these places and new mining machines need to be purchased.
Third, it is best to have some scattered small mining sites nearby, which can be collected and transformed together.
With this screening method, he quickly selected three target mining areas.
Jin Ziming pulled through the calculations, and with the profits from the new mines and stronger host performance to connect to the old terminal equipment, the business subsidies he needed to apply for suddenly dropped a lot.
Gongjiantang had long been extremely dissatisfied with Guangxinmen's equipment and services. Jin Ziming came up with data and a list of problems and tried to persuade Chen Ruiqin and Hong Jingqian.
He made an alternative plan and went with Chen Hong to meet with Peng Dongxin and Pan Chenan to report it in detail.
This plan seemed to be beneficial to the Star-Gathering Sect without any harm. The two elders were very satisfied after hearing it. In addition, they both wanted to repay Jin Ziming's love, so they were happy to push the boat along and immediately expressed their opinions that they could continue the discussion in depth.
Jin Ziming hurriedly made a business application and rushed back to Leiming excitedly. Early the next morning, he convened a meeting with the branch bosses.
First, he introduced his ideas, plans and business applications to everyone, and then said:
“If we completely replace Guangxin door equipment, there will be a lot of noise and business pressure.
I suggest transforming these three mining areas first and becoming Shuiye City's second largest supplier in one fell swoop.
In the past, our Lingyun School's biggest problem in this market was that we had no position and only had sporadic terminal equipment.
Without a host, there is no root. If you deploy three hosts at once, you won’t have to worry about being easily replaced in the future.”
"Zi Ming, it didn't take long for you to find such a big market opportunity. It's very good. I fully support your idea.
Lao Wang, please have someone review his plan and configuration quotation. If there are no problems, report it to the headquarters today and apply for special business."
"Okay, Great Elder." Lao Wang was also very excited.
"Lao Wang, I have another idea. If the headquarters feels that the subsidies are too much and the losses are too large, it can merge two of the relatively close mining areas to share one host.
I calculated it and I can barely carry it," Jin Ziming added.
“For our first large-scale entry, we still need to pay attention to word-of-mouth and quality in order to gain a firm foothold.
I suggest not to pay too much attention to business pressure and use the three-host solution, which can better demonstrate the advantages of our products." Li Jin said seriously.
"I agree." Hall Master Gao and Lao Xiao also agreed.
The headquarters responded on the same day and approved the application of Leiming Branch.
Jin Ziming rushed back to Shuiye City after a long journey and asked Pan Chenan to convene a special meeting.
After explaining the replacement plan in detail, he offered a package of preferential policies:
"Elders, by giving away the most advanced host machine and the replacement equipment needed for some mining sites.
Overall, within three years, Juxing Gate's net income from these three mining areas will exceed that of continuing to use Guangxin Gate equipment, and this does not take into account the benefits of reduced labor costs."
Peng Dongxin had had private exchanges with Pan Chenan before, and both of them agreed to let the Lingyun faction come in to compete with Qingyumen.
However, he still didn't want to agree so easily, and after pondering, he said:
"Zi Ming, you are very diligent and hardworking, everyone recognizes you, and we are willing to give Lingyun Sect and you a chance.
Your plan has some appeal, but it's not enough to push us to make such a big decision.
I hope you will go back to the Leiming branch and discuss with Elder Teng how to make the plan more competitive. If you cannot convince her, I can go over and talk to her."
He was slightly startled and understood that Peng Dongxin wanted to show his authority. Now that he was asking for help from others, he certainly could not refute their face.
Jin Ziming nodded in agreement and returned to the branch again to convene a high-level meeting.
He briefly reported on the latest progress and Peng Dongxin's requirements, and everyone immediately fell into a heated discussion.
Some suggested continuing to apply for more discounts from the headquarters, some suggested simply gritting their teeth and forcibly replacing all Guangxin door equipment in one go, and some said giving away new products as a demonstration.
Some people say that the price is already very favorable, and Elder Peng may just be testing our bottom line, holding on for a while before deciding whether to give up the price.
"Zi Ming, what do you think?" Li Jin asked.
"I feel that whether Elder Peng is testing the market or really wants more discounts, this is our first large-scale entry into the Shuiye market, so we still have to sell him a favor.
On the way back, I looked at the map of the mining area again and found that although our previous terminal equipment was scattered, there were relatively many in the Dingyi mining area. They were all connected under the mainframe of Qingyumen or Guangxinmen.
How about we give away another host and put it in Dingyi?
There is no need to replace the equipment of Guangxin Door, we only need to connect our own end products.
This can reduce the load on Guangxinmen's old equipment, and at the same time, the output of our small mining sites can also be increased.
It is equivalent to driving a nail in Dingyi first, and maybe one day it can be used to grow.
In short, we can only give away equipment and cannot lower the unit price. We can only maintain the discount rate. What we lose today can be earned back when we expand capacity in the future."
As soon as these words came out, Li Jin and Lao Xiao agreed one after another, and finally the great elder made the final decision and agreed to the plan.
This matter cannot be delayed, otherwise things will change if it is too late. Qingyumen's counterattack must be guarded against. The branch immediately dispatched an airship to send Jin Ziming back to Shuiye City.
Early the next morning, he reported the latest plan to Peng Dongxin and Pan Chenan. The two looked at each other and nodded.
Peng Dongxin is a person who is more loyal and didn't want to push the Lingyun Sect too hard. Now that he has gained face, he will give up as soon as possible. He immediately smiled and said:
"Zi Ming, your Lingyun faction is really efficient in doing things, so it's settled. You go find Hall Master Chen and prepare to sign the contract."
Jin Ziming asked the airship to rush back to Lei Ming and bring the branch's seal.
In order to prevent the news from leaking out, the signing place was not at the Juxingmen station, but at a quiet teahouse.
After the two parties signed the seal, Jin Ziming got the order and was very excited. His long-term efforts finally paid off.
Too many comrades have fallen here, and I can’t help but feel mixed emotions in my heart.
With this heavy contract in his arms, he rushed back to the branch and handed it to the great elder. The other party couldn't hold back his joy and said with emotion:
"Zi Ming, when I decided to let you go to Shui Ye, I wanted to seek a change. I never thought that this strange trick would actually work. You are very good. I will apply for a heavy reward for you immediately."
There is no airtight wall in the world. Qingyu Gate soon learned that the base camp had been breached and a counterattack was coming.
In Shuiye City, Jin Ziming met Yang Feng again.
"Junior brother Jin is so awesome. He made me miserable without saying a word."
After completing this project, you will have an extremely wonderful and important enlightenment.
Chapter completed!
