When Huang Xiaoshi saw the news about the battle record, he was so angry that he almost cursed.
A big gift package of level 30 experience points, it’s gone if you don’t say this.
Of course, the hard work is not really in vain, there is still some experience in defeating.
No, Huang Xiaoshi relied on one kill and one defeat to upgrade two levels in a row to level 16.
After calming down, Huang Xiaoshi probably came to his senses.
After Wang Er took the madness medicine, his madness had a time limit. Killing him within this time limit would be considered a kill. If he died beyond the time limit, it would only be considered a defeat.
"Sigh. I wasted a lot of experience in vain. It hurts my heart." Huang Xiaoshi's face was full of sorrow for his misfortune and anger. The "qi" referred to himself.
If I had known about the existence of this algorithm, I would have been more proactive and used the bloodletting attack method earlier, and I would have killed Wang Er long ago.
After fighting for a long time just now, Wang Er was not even close to death, but still had no health left. It was a pity that the fight was in vain.
Huang Xiaoshi walked up to Gong Guangjie with a face filled with heartache. He stretched out his hand to help him. After taking the Zhihehehuosheng Pills, Gong Guangjie's status was [Severely Injured] and [Near Death] disappeared.
Seeing the state of Gong Guangjie's head, Huang Xiaoshi shook him wildly without worrying about shaking him to death with too much force.
After shaking it for dozens of times, Gong Guangjie finally woke up from his coma.
"Ah!" Gong Guangjie felt as if he had been hit by a cow, and all the bones in his body were about to fall apart. When he regained consciousness, he realized that the person shaking him in front of him was Huang Xiaoshi.
"Ah, Stone." Gong Guangjie let out an uncomfortable groan and asked, "Where is Wang Er?"
"Dead." Huang Xiaoshi replied, and he quickly added, "He died by himself."
Gong Guangjie was helped by Huang Xiaoshi to stand up. He looked at the mess on the ground and the remains of furniture, and at Wang Er's body that fell to the ground with his hands covering his heart, and his heart was filled with emotion.
Gong Guangjie raised his head and said to Huang Xiaoshi: "Shitou, let's run away!"
escape?
Get away from you!
If it weren't for the fact that Gong Guangjie couldn't be injured anymore, Huang Xiaoshi would have really wanted to slap him in the face to make him sober again.
Huang Xiaoshi had all kinds of thoughts in his mind at this time, but the last thing he said out loud was a roar: "Boss, listen to me first!"
…
When the setting sun faded away the last trace of its afterglow, a group of disciples of Shennongmen returned to Shennongmen without hesitation.
Early this morning, the sect leader gave an order, telling them to go to Baicao Gate with great fanfare and weapons, but not to fight, to build momentum, the bigger the better, and not to come back before dark.
In fact, even though both groups were very aggressive today, neither Gong Guangjie nor Wang Er had any intention of killing them.
Because there are bound to be casualties in group fights, and now the two sect masters are a pair of poor people. How can they pay for soup and medicine and burn money for burial?
Besides, not fighting would be beneficial to annexing the opponent later.
Both sides hold the idea of beheading, and they are waiting for today's victory.
There was a heavy rain yesterday, and both of them thought of the swollen river, so this morning, Gong Guangjie and Wang Er, as if they had a clear understanding of each other, rushed their followers to the river.
Just as the two expected, the swollen river water gradually subsided in the afternoon. At this time, the disciples who had been scolding all day did not have the energy to rush in anymore. Everyone continued to scold across the river and begged for the day.
.
Now, the sun has set, and people on both sides of the river have dispersed and gone back to their homes.
Baicao Gate is still close, the river is only one or two miles away from Baicao Gate, but Shennong Gate is far away.
After having breakfast, dozens of Shennongmen walked ten miles to Baicaomen and yelled at the people from Baicaomen across the river. They yelled non-stop for the whole day, until in the afternoon everyone was thirsty.
My throat was broken from shouting, and I couldn't even spit.
In the end, everyone stared at each other in silence, and finally waited until sunset, so they could call it a day and go home. This was considered worthy of the reward that Wang Er was about to pay.
The journey back was another ten miles. On the way back, all the disciples complained and scolded all eighteen generations of Wang Er's ancestors.
We were almost at home when a servant suddenly said, "Tell me, if we go back today, can we get this month's reward?"
"Stop thinking nonsense." Another doorman said lazily, "The first lady and the second lady took away all the money in the door a few days ago. The second master was so angry that day that he almost jumped on the back of the house.
Battle, it’s not like you didn’t see it.”
"Alas." As soon as he said this, everyone sighed.
In fact, both Shennongmen and Baicaomen have not paid their disciples for several months.
Baicaomen was already poor, and it was normal to give out money as part of the Chinese New Year. It was normal not to give out money, and everyone was used to it.
However, the Shennong Sect had been in arrears with wages for several months, and all members of the sect were demoralized and could not muster the energy to do anything except eating.
Finally, everyone walked back to Shennong Gate without any hesitation. They saw that the gate was open, but everything inside was dark. People with good noses stretched their necks to smell it, but they could not smell the fragrance of the food.
"Look, there are still lights on in the hall." A sharp-eyed doorman pointed to the hall and said.
In fact, if we hadn't eaten yet, everyone would have wanted to go back to the room and sleep. On the way back just now, everyone found some water to drink. We were not thirsty anymore, but now we are even more hungry.
"Let's go to the hall." The leading doorman shouted loudly, and then took the lead. When he reached the door of the hall, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. As a result, the doorman behind him pushed him in.
Dozens of doormen were originally noisy, but after entering the hall, no one spoke, and except for breathing, no other sounds could be heard.
The hall was brightly lit, and all the candlesticks were lit. In the middle of the hall, Wang Er's body was placed.
The blood stains on Wang Er's body have been washed away, and his clothes have been changed into new ones. A white cloth covered his face, blocking the pain and ferocity on his fat face.
Above Wang Er, sitting with a golden sword and a big horse, is a skinny man. Everyone knows him. This is Gong Guangjie, the master of Baicao Sect.
Next to Gong Guangjie, stood a man in black. He was Huang Xiaoshi, the number one thug of Baicao Clan that everyone recognized.
Next to the hall, there were still five Shennong disciples who had stayed at home. They were full of energy and had murderous looks on their faces, which was in sharp contrast to the people who had just returned.
In this solemn and desolate atmosphere, everyone was silent, only the stomachs of those who failed to live up to their expectations made a growling sound.
"Everyone." Huang Xiaoshi spoke. He looked at everyone and said expressionlessly: "Today, Sect Master Gong and Sect Master Wang had a friendly discussion about the love between Shennong Baicao Sect.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened, and Master Wang suddenly suffered a heart attack. Rescue efforts failed and he died unfortunately.
Before his death, Master Wang entrusted the Shennong Sect to the Master Gong with tears in his eyes. From today on, Shennong Baicao will be one again."
"Okay, I'm done. Who has any opinions?" Huang Xiaoshi asked viciously as soon as he finished speaking.
By chance, a gust of cold wind blew in from outside the door, and everyone in the hall shivered involuntarily.
Let's just say that it's impossible for anyone present here who hasn't been beaten by Huang Xiaoshihei in the past two years.
"Fellow fellows," Gong Guangjie spoke, "please ask me, as long as I, Gong Guangjie, have something to eat, I won't go hungry. Starting from next month, all fees will be doubled!"
This sentence doubles the price and is more powerful than the rag that seals the mouth. It directly makes many people's words get stuck in their throats and cannot come out.
During the stalemate, suddenly a person shouted loudly: "Who are we working for? It would be nice to double the regular payment!"
When Gong Guangjie heard this, it turned out that he had arranged for the spy to shout in the crowd.
This insider finally played his due role.
It can be said that his voice had the final say.
"Yeah, it's all about money anyway."
"Shen Nong Baicao is a family to begin with, no matter who we are working with."
Now that Wang Er is dead, someone comes out and offers to give everyone double the amount of money. Who can’t get along with money?
Finally, a voice took the lead and shouted: "Congratulations, Master Gong!"
At this time, everyone in the hall shouted in unison: "Congratulations, Master Gong!"
Gong Guangjie felt hot in his heart as he looked at the disciples saluting him in the light.
"It's not in vain that I have worked hard for many years and finally got this done."
…
"Stone, where did we get so much money?"
After everyone dispersed happily, Gong Guangjie said to Huang Xiaoshi with a sad face in Wang Er's bedroom.
Huang Xiaoshi sighed and shook his head. Gong Guangjie's business acumen and ability were pretty good, but compared to future marketing, they were still far behind.
Monopoly, no money?
It makes people laugh to death even if I say it.
Huang Xiaoshi walked to Gong Guangjie's table. He pointed to the house deed on the table, knocked on the table and said: "Tomorrow we will go to the county town, find a pawn shop, and pawn this yard. We can always make a few hundred taels of silver."
Bar."
Gong Guangjie nodded. The pawn shop is actually a mortgage loan shark. Generally speaking, the mortgage loan does not exceed 30% of the original price. However, real estate such as houses and fields are high-quality resources that can be placed for a long time and are easy to sell. You can get at least 50% of the price.
Mortgage.
"Then what? This money can only be spent for three or four months at most." Gong Guangjie said still with a sad face.
This house will be gone if it is gone. It is the property of Shennongmen anyway, but with so many disciples and double the regular fee, Baicaomen must also be added to make it level. No amount of money is really enough to feed it.
"The medicines we sell now are selling very well." Huang Xiao said to Gong Guangjie, "The supply in these ten miles and eight towns exceeds the demand. Now that the entire Bashu market belongs to us, think about how many people are taking our medicines."
Gong Guangjie nodded. Huang Xiaoshi was right. The sales of his elixirs were indeed very good, but there was only one problem: they were not profitable.
All medicines are sold at a discount, and the most profitable medicine for sores is actually only a small profit.
This little money simply cannot support such a big sect.
Huang Xiaoshi said patiently to Gong Guangjie: "Now that the Shennongmen market is ours, it can be said that in the Chengdu Dam area, we, the Shennong Baicaomen family, are the only ones selling pills. The price we say is the price we can sell them for."
After Gong Guangjie heard Huang Xiaoshi's words, he shook his head like a rattle. He said to Huang Xiaoshi: "Shitou, it sounds like we sell medicine, but in fact we all rely on people to reward us.
Regardless of whether it is the elixirs of Baicaomen or Shennongmen, the real dignitaries do not like them. They have money to hire doctors.
In recent years, the price of elixirs has been too low, and there is little money to be made from selling them.
We are not an official company, so we can't really say how much we will sell.
But if the price increases, even by one or two cents, then all the buyers and agents will jump up and rebel against us."
Look at you, the price increase will only increase by one or two cents, which is a little profit.
Huang Xiaoshi said to Gong Guangjie: "I look down on poor people's money. If we want to make money, we must make big money."
Huang Xiaoshi rummaged around the room and found an empty jewelry box, then took it over and took out the pills he had just replenished today from his sleeve.
Huang Xiaoshi said to Gong Guangjie: "Boss, do you remember the 19 points I told you before?
In fact, Baicao, despite the hot sales, accounting for 90% of the sales of elixirs, actually they make a shitty amount of money, they make less than a penny."
"You mean...?" Gong Guangjie knew what Huang Xiaoshi's words meant.
Over the years, Baicao and Shennong have gradually formed two completely different sales strategies due to market competition and customer differentiation, targeting completely different customers.
Baicao's approach is small profits but quick turnover, covering low-income groups. Its medicines may not be very good, but they are cheap enough.
Shennong takes a high-end route, and its main suppliers are rich people in the city and martial arts heroes. They are not short of money, but what they want is good medicine and smooth sex.
"But the sales volume is not large every year. We can't let those people eat the medicine as food." Gong Guangjie said to Huang Xiaoshi.
This is so stupid. When it comes to making money, the only thing I think about is increasing sales.
Huang Xiaoshi patiently pointed at the pill and said to Gong Guangjie: "Starting from next month, we will launch a new drug on the grounds that Shennong Baicaomen merged and discovered the ancestral secret recipe."
After saying that, Huang Xiaoshi took out another pill, put it in the jewelry box, pointed at it and said: "This is a new drug, the price has increased by 50%."
When Gong Guangjie heard this, he looked at Huang Xiaoshi as if he were a fool and said, "You think others are stupid. Just adding a box, you want to sell it for 50% more."
Huang Xiaoshi ignored Gong Guangjie. He pointed to another pill and said, "This is an old medicine. The original price remains the same. When making the medicine, an extra 10% of plant ash that has no medicinal effect is added to it."
When Gong Guangjie heard this, he was stunned. What did this mean?
Huang Xiaoshi pointed to the pills in the jewelry box and said: "This new medicine is an ancestral secret recipe that has just been recovered and is extremely precious. When making it, we increased its weight by 10%.
Now this new medicine is well packaged, has a good reputation, and its efficacy is 10% higher than the old medicine. It is sold for 50% more, do you think anyone will buy it?"
Gong Guangjie finally understood, and he nodded with difficulty.
If you put it this way, there are indeed many people who are still willing to buy it.
Especially those martial arts heroes, if the medicine is more effective, it may lead to one more life, and they are not short of money, so why would they care about this price increase.
While the formula remains unchanged, it is indeed a good way to secretly increase the dosage to improve the efficacy, and it is difficult for others to notice.
But it's not over yet. Huang Xiaoshi pointed to the new medicine and said: "Three months later, in order to give back to new and old customers, Shennong Baicaomen will reduce the price of new medicines by a uniform 10% off. Do you think it will sell like crazy?"
Gong Guangjie nodded stupidly.
Huang Xiaoshi pointed to the old medicine again and said: "Because the supply of new medicines exceeds demand, the production of old medicines has been discontinued.
For the old customers who insist on buying old medicines, we will also give them a limited number of old medicines with 20% added plant ash, and then give them some new medicines for free. After all this, will anyone still buy the old medicines?"
Gong Guangjiemu shook his head blankly.
"Isn't that the end of it?" Huang Xiaoshi said, "In this way for at least three months, our drug prices can be increased by 40% compared to the original price. Isn't this money earned?"
After a while, Gong Guangjie slammed the table so hard that the candles fell to the table.
When Huang Xiaoshi picked up the candle and secured it again, he saw Gong Guangjie's face turning red under the candlelight.
"Stone, you are a fucking genius!"
Although Gong Guangjie often praised Huang Xiaoshi as a genius during this period, his meaning was progressive every time.
That's because Gong Guangjie, such a big boss, really can't think of any other better words.
How much more money can be made if drug prices increase by 40%? That's not 40%.
In the original price war, various costs were suppressed. Even for Shennongmen, 90% of the money they paid for selling a pill was the cost and 10% was a small profit.
This 10% profit is still gross profit, and net profit is almost 0.
Not to mention Baicaomen, they don't even make the small 10% profit, they only charge the cost price.
But if the drug price increases by 40%, then the profit will skyrocket from the original 10% to the current 50%, which is equivalent to 5 times the previous profit.
This, this is really difficult even if you don’t want to get rich!
Later, during the implementation, the actual situation was smoother than Huang Xiaoshi's plan. The market was very applauded. Buyers said that the secret recipe passed down from generation to generation was really overbearing and the effect was really good.
On the other hand, the disciple got double the amount of money smoothly.
Not to mention that the original price of Baicao medicine remained unchanged, and the reputation of Shennong Baicaomen among the people was as bright as the sun.
There is no suspense. In the second month, the Shennong Baicao Sect's assessment was "excellent", and he has met the qualifications to join the church.
After that, the Holy Messenger disappeared.
It's not surprising that it can't be reached in a day or two from Shuzhong to the Western Regions and back from the Western Regions.
At the end of the year, Shennong Baicaomen, which has never paid dividends, will pay dividends.
That day, at Huang Xiaoshi's suggestion, Shennong Baicaomen pulled hundreds of kilograms of copper coins and piled them in the yard. There were at least a thousand stockholders and people from all over the country who came to watch the excitement, blocking the open space outside Baicaomen.
The water is blocked.
After Gong Guangjie talked for a long time, Huang Xiaoshi announced a few things.
First, because the Shennong Baicao Sect's properties have increased, the entire sect's assets have become more valuable.
A large area of Shennongmen's assets has been taken over, including fertile land and a large area of good houses.
Huang Xiaoshi's valuation is lower. The current total price of Shennong Baicaomen is 2,300 taels, and the total shares are 23,000 shares.
Therefore, the current year-end dividend is divided based on 23,000 shares.
These simple people didn't have any concept of equity, so they relied on Huang Xiaoshi, an economic gangster, to casually expand the number of shares tenfold, thus reducing everyone's stock dividend tenfold.
Then, Huang Xiaoshi announced to everyone the achievements of Shennong Baicaomen this year.
The results reported by Huang Xiaoshi made some country bumpkins who had no concept of numbers in their minds feel dizzy. They only had one concept in their minds: Gong Guangjie had made a fortune, and Baicaomen had made a fortune!
Finally, the accountant takes the list of investors and calls the names to distribute the money.
What made everyone take a deep breath was that Shennong Baicaomen didn't bother to count the copper coins one by one. They directly poked the copper coins with a dustpan, put them in baskets, and then threw them on a large scale to weigh them.
Originally, copper coins were thinner than before due to wear and tear in circulation. In this way, every thousand red coins may cost dozens more copper coins.
The stockholders' faces were almost broken with laughter.
After this, Shennong Baicaomen became famous.
…
"Holy Envoy, this is the offering for this month." Gong Guangjie pointed to the big basket full of silver on the ground with a smile, and said with a warm smile to the Holy Envoy.
The Holy Envoy nodded with satisfaction. Although the Shennong Sect would give him some small money from time to time, the Baicao Sect made his performance reach the top. This even attracted the attention of the leader, and he might be promoted.
The holy envoy said to Gong Guangjie who was smiling charmingly: "For the sake of your kindness, please call him over."
Gong Guangjie waved his hand, and Huang Xiaoshi, who was leaning at the door, walked over listlessly.
"Holy Envoy, this is the boy." Gong Guangjie saw Huang Xiaoshi's listless look, so he punched him hard on the back, straightening Huang Xiaoshi's back. He also smiled at the Holy Envoy.
The envoy said: "This boy is a martial arts wizard!"
"Here, give me a hand." The Holy Envoy extended a hand to Huang Xiaoshi.
Seeing this, Huang Xiaoshi also stretched out his right hand. After the two palms touched each other, the Holy Envoy suddenly exerted force, and Huang Xiaoshi was pushed back several steps.
The holy envoy shook his head and said: "No, no. I can't do it with this guy."
After saying that, the Holy Envoy stood up and walked away with his hands behind his back. Gong Guangjie ordered his people to follow him with the money on their backs and comforted Huang Xiaoshi in a low voice: "Shitou, don't be discouraged. You are still so young. If you have a few more years of food, you will definitely be better in the future."
Chosen by the Holy Messenger."
Huang Xiaoshi smiled casually and didn't care.
He didn't use any force on purpose when he touched his hand just now.
What a bullshit holy messenger, a guy who is only level 20.
Although it is as funny to use martial arts to measure positions within the Tianlong Sect as it is to use academic qualifications to measure positions in companies, in most cases, martial arts and academic qualifications are too low to hold a high position within such a large group.
If you follow him, you will never get ahead.
I, Huang Xiaoshi, have my own way to learn martial arts.
