Wang Ye said: "If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come."
"I'm a little confused, and I hope Mr. Xia can help me clarify my doubts?" Xia Ye smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just ask. You're welcome."
"Why don't we charge more for our new batch of students? What kind of money can we make if we pay more than ten or twenty yuan?" Wang Ye asked.
Xia Ye glanced at him: "Director Wang, our original intention is not to make money." Wang Ye said
I still feel a little uncomfortable with the title of "curator", so I scratched my head with a sullen face: "If you don't make money, are you doing a loss-making business? This is not something you, Mr. Xia, can do." Xia Ye chuckled: "Indeed, But it’s just that it doesn’t make money at first.”
"My original intention is to get the name out there first, so that people in Gusu know that there is a martial arts gym like ours. It is a place where you can come and exercise when you have nothing to do. Therefore, we accept all men, women, and children. "
"After all, Taixuan Gong is not a fighting technique. After the improvement and refinement of Taoist Master Wang, and the participation of Mr. Lin Zhengying, this technique does not require any threshold, and people in their seventies or eighties can practice it."
"So?" Wang Ye was confused. Xia Ye: "First make your name known and accumulate reputation, and then select talented disciples from among the students who come and go as true disciples, so that the public can see that our martial arts school has something."
"When there are more true disciples, we can participate in more fighting, martial arts competitions, etc., and spread our reputation outside the province, and then we can officially go nationwide. Then we can popularize Taixuan Gong and continue to open branches. What about you, Wang Ye? You'll be busy then, I'll make sure your feet don't touch the ground." Wang Ye:...
“Mr. Those who are true disciples can just teach some fighting skills. The martial arts school still needs to move forward and expand, which all requires money." With Xia Ye's methods, even if he is doing charity, he will not be unprofitable.
To expand a martial arts gym, increase revenue, create a name, and build a reputation, it is necessary to recruit batch after batch of accomplished true disciples and let them go out and make a name for themselves with a pair of fists.
With reputation, you can accept more disciples. But fighting skills are never the basis for establishing a gym. The popularization of Taixuan Gong is.
This two-pronged approach, light and dark, really made Wang Ye marvel at Xia Ye's business skills. No wonder, at such a young age, he can manage such a big industry. In Longcheng, in Suzhou... these are abilities he doesn't have.
"But now we don't have true disciples, and we only have these people." Wang Ye looked at the group of students in the venue.
Although they are working very hard to stand up, but as time goes by, who knows how long they can hold on? Even Tai Xuan Gong, which has no threshold, needs to be based on persistence to achieve long-term results.
How can it be effective in the short term? Xia Ye smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. I have already called your uncle and will select a few disciples from Wudang to assist you. They are all your senior brothers, and some of them are yours." Disciple." Wang Ye was stunned.
He is also teaching people to practice martial arts in Wudang Mountain. After all, Wang Ye is a once-in-a-century genius in Wudang, and he is very likely to become the next leader of Wudang.
Therefore, there are many people who want to worship him as their teacher. Wang Ye had been teaching this group of people for a while, and some of them had outstanding talents, and Wang Zhenghe took a fancy to them.
He planned to be sent by the government to Datong Hall in Suzhou to continue teaching in the name of Wudang Mountain. Wang Ye still didn't understand: "Mr. You haven't been born for a long time, and you have underestimated people's hearts. If you have money to make, people will naturally come." Wang Ye frowned: "You can make money?" Xia Ye said: "Let me ask you a question, why do you think the national martial arts will decline?" Wang Ye thought After thinking: "My uncle taught me that due to the development and progress of society, most people can survive well without practicing martial arts for self-defense. In addition, money is indispensable for the operation of society, and the most time-consuming thing to practice martial arts is and energy, with this time, everyone will choose to make money and live instead of going to the mountains to become a monk and practice martial arts and waste the rest of their lives. Of course, our Wudang recruitment of Taoist priests also requires academic qualifications. People who can't even recite scriptures will not be able to enter our Wudang." In the end, Wang Ye was still very proud.
Xia Ye was speechless, but still nodded in approval: "You are right, that's the truth."
"In other words, if you can't make money, no one will practice martial arts." Xia Ye smiled: "Then let me ask you now, what if practicing martial arts can make money? What do you think of the employment of those who come out of martial arts schools? ?" Wang Ye is not stupid. Although he is not worldly, he knows many things.
"People who practice martial arts will naturally work as policemen, armed policemen, patrolmen, and martial arts school instructors after they come out. Of course, they can also work as security guards, personal bodyguards for bosses or celebrities, and they also need martial arts instructors for filming movies, or go to Working as secret service, security consultant, etc.”
"But these are all too professional. Not only do you need to be educated, some positions also require a high degree of education, at least a bachelor's degree." Xia Ye gave a thumbs up: "I didn't expect that the Taoist Priest, who lives deep in the mountains and forests, even understands these things. , That's very reasonable." Wang Ye said with a black line: "I just don't live in the world, but I don't avoid it. Wudang is the largest sect in the inner circle. Every day, major organizations and institutions come to discuss cooperation. Many worldly chores, Uncle Master didn’t want to do it, so he asked me to do it, so I know a little bit about it.”
"However, even if you successfully get a job while practicing martial arts, it is still very hard. Practicing martial arts itself is a hard and tiring job. Over time, you may get injuries all over your body and even be in danger of your life. Therefore, not many people I am willing to do it." Xia Ye nodded: "Because the effort and reward are not directly proportional, there are few people who do it, but in fact, there are many people in this society who are willing to endure hardship."
"I opened the Datong Pavilion, firstly, to popularize Taixuan Gong so that everyone can practice it and barbarize their bodies. Secondly, it is also for your Wudang and for the sake of the martial arts world." Wang Ye was surprised: "Why do you say that? "
"Let's not talk about the Taoist priests in Wudang who are organized. Do you know how many people there are in Wudang?" Wang Ye was silent. Of course he knows these. Wudang Mountain is so big, but around the Wudang organization, There are tens of thousands of various interest groups, positions, and employees created.
Which of these people did not grow up in Wudang Mountain? Xia Ye: "I want these unorganized people, those who are practicing martial arts, and those from poor backgrounds to have something to rely on when they are old. I want them to have someone to rely on in society. In the future, Datong Hall, including our night capital, will It’s what they rely on!”
