In Fulu Pavilion, the two heads of the aristocratic families returned to the shop. They looked at the spiritual jade returned by Li Mu anxiously and asked: "Senior, this is...if you think the price is low, we can discuss it again."
Li Mu returned the spiritual jade to them and said: "This is the new rule of our Talisman Sect. For precious Talisman above the heaven level, after the book is written, hand the jade in one hand and the Talisman in the other hand to avoid returning the Talisman after failure.
You guys, like this, in a month, you will come to the Great Zhou Shendu to get the talisman..."
After hearing this, the two of them felt relieved, accepted the spirit jade, and said with a smile: "That's very good. On our return trip, we originally planned to visit the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and we happened to be on the way..."
When they walked out of Fulu Pavilion, the two of them sighed inwardly. They were both leaders of the Taoist sect, but Xuanzong and the Fulu sect had completely different attitudes towards small and medium-sized sects like them.
Xuanzong was so superior that they opened their shop here, and for every product they sold, 40% of their income had to be handed over to Xuanzong. Compared with Xuanzong, the Fu Lu Party gave them extra preferential treatment, living up to their reputation as the leader of the Taoist sect.
After sending the two people away again, Li Mu finally understood how Xuanzong's magnificent mountain gate and the Lingyu Square outside were built.
Including the other five sects of Dao Sect, large and small sects in Zuzhou, aristocratic cultivating families, and countless casual cultivators are all contributing to the construction of Xuanzong.
When most countries in Zuzhou were still in feudal society, Xuanzong had already taken the first step into capitalism.
He was the one who wasted his words, and he was the one who suffered from the book talisman. In the end, he was working for Xuanzong. Li Mu felt an unknown anger in his heart, and asked angrily: "Does our Fulu sect have no mountain gate of our own? Why should we go to someone else's place?"
Doing business?”
Qingjingzi said: "This is all the intention of the leader. He said that Baiyun Mountain is the holy land of the Taoist sect and should not engage in such businessmanlike things..."
Li Mu waved his sleeves and said angrily: "Don't mention him to me. Xuanjizi is a loser. He has made so many spiritual jades for others over the years, but he can't even get the materials for the Tianji Talisman. How can he still do it?"
Have the dignity to be a headmaster..."
Qingjingzi lowered his head silently, and his uncle scolded the master. He could not interrupt and did not dare to interrupt.
Li Mu scolded Xuanjizi and quickly calmed down.
Xuanzong provided a platform and took a commission from the transaction, which was not incomprehensible, but their hearts were too dark. Fifty thousand spiritual jade disappeared so mysteriously. Li Mu's heart was bleeding, and he was angry and distressed.
.
When he walked to the first floor and saw the situation inside the building, he became even more angry.
Although there were many customers queuing up outside the door, there were only a few disciples of the Fu Lu Sect who were responsible for entertaining inside. There were not enough people in the shop to begin with, so a few disciples who acted as temporary clerks still gathered together to laugh and talk, not caring about the customers and loving them.
Ignore the answer.
Several customers came in and looked around, but when they found no one was waiting for them, they turned around and went to other shops.
In addition to the Talisman Sect, various sects and some mid-level cultivating families also have people who are good at Talisman making. The mid- to low-level Talismans they produce are of equally good quality. Those who want to buy Talismans may not only have the Talisman Sect as their only choice.
Most of these disciples practice in the sect on weekdays. They don't know how to provide business services. I don't know how many customers have gone to other places because of their arrogant and rude attitude.
Li Mu cast his gaze inadvertently and spotted a familiar figure in the shop on the first floor.
The stall owner from whom Li Mu bought a large amount of clothing and accessories was bargaining with a disciple in the shop.
He looked at a talisman, pestered the disciple and said, "Cheaper, one thousand spiritual jade is really too expensive. How about I buy two pieces and you give me a 20% discount?"
The disciple of the Talisman Sect was unmoved and said calmly: "The price of the Talisman is set by the elders. Counter-offers are not accepted. If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't want to buy it, buy it elsewhere. There are many people selling Talismans on this street..."
The young man looked at the talisman floating on the counter. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to give up. Just as he was about to walk out of the store, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"etc."
The young man turned around and saw the young man who spent 20,000 jade standing behind him. After being stunned for a moment, his expression suddenly changed and he said: "You must have regretted it, right? Once the goods in our store have been sold,
, non-quality problems cannot be returned..."
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to return the goods. Come with me."
After saying that, he turned around and went up to the second floor. The young man hesitated for a moment and could only follow him.
When he reached the second floor, Li Mu sat down on his own, and then said to the young man: "Sit down."
The young man immediately shook his head and said, "Senior, if anything happens, I can just stand and listen."
Li Mu looked at him and asked, "What's your name?"
The young man answered honestly: "The wind is blowing for a little man, a horse is a horse, and the wind is blowing."
Although this person is not highly cultivated, he is quite business-minded, especially his mouth, which is like a lotus tongue. If the disciples of Fulu Pavilion were half as capable as him, the shop would have sold out all the talismans long ago.
Li Mu poured himself a cup of tea and said calmly: "Ma Feng, that's a good name. Who do you study under, and what sect do you come from?"
Ma Feng still doesn't know what this master of the Fulu Sect wants to do with him, so he doesn't dare to hide it, and continues: "Senior, I don't have a master, and I don't have a sect. The reason why I embarked on the path of spiritual practice was because of the old bookstall when I was a child.
I found an introductory book on Qi training and guidance, and after pondering on it myself, I accidentally embarked on this path..."
Li Mu looked at him and suddenly asked: "Are you willing to join our Talisman Sect?"
Ma Feng was stunned for a moment. As a casual cultivator, he has no sect, no background, and no one to guide his practice. His biggest dream is to join the sect, but his qualifications are not good, and even small sects are unwilling to accept him.
Becoming a member of the six Taoist sects was something he could not even dream of.
After regaining consciousness, he immediately knelt down on his knees and said loudly: "Disciple is willing!"
Li Mu nodded and said: "Very good, from now on, you will be the fourth generation disciple of the Fu Lu Sect."
Ma Feng immediately took off a baggage on his back, placed it in front of Li Mu, and said: "This is the spiritual jade that my uncle bought for the fairy clothes and accessories. The disciples will return them in full..."
He just saw what happened in the market, guessed Li Mu's identity, and immediately changed his name to him.
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "This is what belongs to you, keep it for yourself."
Ma Feng picked up the baggage again and said respectfully: "Thank you, master, uncle."
Li Mu said: "Get up and talk. I have something to ask you."
Ma Feng stood up from the ground and said, "Master, uncle, please tell me. I must tell you everything I know and tell you everything."
Li Mudao: "If you were asked to manage Fulu Pavilion, what would you do?"
Ma Feng was stunned again: "Let me manage Fulu Pavilion?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "You can speak your mind boldly."
Ma Feng looked thoughtful. He was not very talented, short in stature, and ugly in appearance. Even the small sects did not accept him. There must be some reason why this senior was willing to let him join one of the six Tao sects.
This is his opportunity. If he seizes it, his future cultivation path will be smooth. If he does not seize it, he may just be a small casual cultivator in this life.
He took a deep breath and said: "Master Qi, my uncle, I believe that there are big problems with the current Fulu Pavilion."
Li Mu extended his hand to him and said, "Sit down and speak slowly."
Ma Feng sat down with half his buttocks and said boldly: "First of all, in the Fulu Pavilion shop, the attitude of the senior brothers towards the customers is too bad. We are not the only shop selling Fulu. Since we are sellers, we must treat them as such.
Customers are the main focus. Many customers cannot receive timely reception after entering the store, so they will go to other stores. In terms of mid-to-low-end talismans, the quality of our talismans is not better than that of other stores, but the price is expensive and not too expensive.
Great competitiveness, which resulted in the loss of a large number of customers..."
Ma Feng observed Li Mu's expression as he spoke, and saw that he was not angry because of these words, so he continued to speak boldly: "Secondly, the sales method in the store is too rigid. One talisman can cost one hundred spiritual jade, and two
One talisman carries two hundred spiritual jades, and ten talismans carry one thousand spiritual jades. There is no profit at all, and it is difficult to stimulate customers' desire to buy. We should set up some various sales methods, such as spending five hundred spiritual jades in the store and getting fifty spiritual jades.
Jade, one thousand spiritual jade minus one hundred fifty spiritual jade, buy two earth-level talismans and get one mysterious-level talisman..."
Li Mu nodded and said, "That's good, continue..."
Although he understands these things, given his status, he is not suitable to get involved in these trivial matters. He needs a capable assistant, and this young man with an unattractive appearance but great business acumen is obviously the best candidate.
After receiving Li Mu's affirmation, Ma Feng became more bold and said: "Xuanzong's exchange meeting only happens every five years, and a large amount of spiritual jade will be extracted from us. Why don't we go to the sect ourselves, or even the counties of Dazhou, to
Countries in Zuzhou have opened shops. With the reputation of our Fu Lu Pavilion, the business will be ten times and a hundred times better than now. In this exchange meeting, casual cultivators and cultivating families from all over the world gather here. It is a great opportunity for us. We must let Fu Lu Pavilion in
It leaves a good impression on them..."
As Ma Feng talked, he was no longer limited to one Fu Lu Pavilion, but looked at the entire Zuzhou and planned a sustainable development path for the Fu Lu Sect.
An hour later, he was still talking nonstop: "The location of Xuanzong is not good. They are located in the easternmost part of Zuzhou. Many practitioners have to travel thousands of miles to come here, and the Great Zhou Gods are all in Zuzhou.
Center, if we can build such a market in the Divine Capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty and invite shops from various sects and cultivating families to settle in, we will only extract 10% of the spiritual jade from it, and we will definitely attract everyone there. It is a pity that this
It would offend Xuanzong, and the Zhou court might not agree..."
Although Li Mu also wants to do this, it can bring a lot of tax revenue to the court, but there is no doubt that this will make Xuanzong completely have no business to do, and offend the largest sect in the Taoist sect, the most powerful force in Zuzhou. At present,
Say, obviously not a good choice.
"We will discuss this matter later." Li Mu stood up, patted Ma Feng's shoulder lightly, and said, "From now on, Fu Lu Pavilion will be handed over to you."
