In the Chen family, the old man from the alchemy shop hurried back to the family and went straight to the hall to ask to see Chen Haoran.
At this time, several second-generation disciples were sitting lazily in the hall, chatting. The old man listened attentively and saw one of them saying: "Have you heard? There is a very elegant boss lady on the fourth floor of Shennong Pharmaceutical Industry!"
"You have to hear about this. I have seen it with my own eyes. It is indeed very beautiful and coquettish, haha!"
"No! Have you seen it with your own eyes? Impossible. To enter the fourth floor, you need a Diamond VIP Card!"
"Yes, yes! I begged my mother to get a gold VIP card. Do you have so many spiritual stones?"
"You are already worth gold, but I am just silver. My father is just stingy and just makes me lose face!"
"Stop talking about it. At least you are still rich in silver. I only have so little private money and can barely scrape together a piece of bronze to cover my appearance!"
"Hehe~~, you don't believe it, then watch, what is this?"
"Wow, it's really a diamond VIP card. Where did you get so much money?"
"Did you steal your father's storage ring?"
"Wrong, that's not stealing, it's just cooperating with him to hide my mother's visit to Piaoxiangyuan, so dad helped me get a diamond card!"
"Wow, it feels so good. It's a pity that my dad doesn't like going to Piaoxiangyuan!"
"Now when you go out without a VIP card, people won't recognize you. The VIP card has become a status symbol!"
The old man shook his head repeatedly after hearing this. These second-generation ancestors are really enough. They have no idea about the difficulties faced by the family and are still throwing spiritual stones into the Shenpong Pharmaceutical Industry.
After a long time, a disciple came and said that the patriarch had invited him, and the old man quickly followed him!
The old man came to Chen Haoran's wing and saw him sitting on the master's chair, playing with a diamond VIP card in his hand. The old man was speechless for a while, how come even the clan leader was in this tone!
He was wary that this matter must be resolved immediately, otherwise thousands of people in the Cheng family would be in trouble. He took two steps forward, bowed and said, "I've met the clan leader!"
Chen Haoran turned his head and said, "Oh! It's Uncle Ming. Why are you here today?"
"Clan leader, something bad is going on. If we don't take action, the clan may suffer from the northwest wind!"
Chen Haoran was shocked. What could be so serious? Why would the Chen family, a big family in Nuozhou, have to drink the northwest wind? He waved his hand, motioned for the old man to sit down, and asked: "Uncle Ming, don't be impatient, tell the story slowly!"
The old man told everything in detail. After that, he stared at Chen Haoran, waiting for his instructions!
Chen Haoran woke up in horror, not expecting that the matter was so serious. They haven't sold a single pill for half a month. If they can't sell it for more than half a year, how can the Chen family survive?
He suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the room, thinking about countermeasures.
The old man also hurriedly stood up, not daring to look away for even a moment.
Chen Haoran thought for a long time and then said: "In this case, didn't they say that the Diamond VIP Card can enjoy a 50% discount? Then we will use this VIP Card to purchase a large amount of elixirs and then sell them at a 40% discount to attract customers first. Come back, after all, there are only a few people who can apply for a Diamond VIP Card!”
An idea flashed in the old man's mind, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, the diamond VIP card requires five million spiritual stones. After all, there are only a few who can get it. We will compete with them on price. The clan leader is really smart!"
Chen Haoran waved his hand and said: "You're not smart, this VIP card is someone else's honor to me. I was also careless. I didn't expect such a result! Just take this VIP card, and the spiritual stones in the treasury can be used by you." Use it to wipe out all their elixirs!"
The old man became energetic and said, "Yes, I'll do it right away!"
After saying that, he took the VIP card from Chen Haoran's hand and went back!
Looking at Cheng Ling, he also realized the crisis, but this crisis was not what Chen Haoran thought. He was not worried about this at all. What he was worried about was that if someone scanned the goods and his store had insufficient inventory, then Will be forced to go to a dangerous place.
Those monks probably demanded the return of the spirit stones on the grounds that they were unable to purchase the elixir due to insufficient supply. In this case, we have to go in two steps.
The first step is for Zhang Hu to find an alchemist as soon as possible. After all, relying on him alone to refine it is too slow, and the supply simply exceeds demand.
The second step is to purchase all the elixirs from the elixir shops in the city. In this way, although you may suffer some losses in the early stage, but with the source of the goods in hand, the spiritual stones charged into the VIP card do not need to be returned, and the interests in the later period can still be guaranteed!
Thinking of this, he decided to take action himself. Zhang Hu knew too many people, and it was easy to find out their identity, but he was different. With a little makeup, he could get away with it, and not only Luoye City, but also surrounding cities had to find ways to search for elixirs.
With the plan in mind, he told Xiyan and asked her to take care of the shop for the next two days while he went out to do some things.
Xi Yan happily agreed, she was no longer afraid now. Once she wore the Persian girl's clothes and the gauze covering her face, no one except Chen Haoran would be able to recognize her.
Cheng Ling then set off to search for pills everywhere.
Both parties are making intensive preparations. He still has one day left. Shennong Pharmaceutical Industry will open again tomorrow, so within one day, all the elixirs in the surrounding cities must be looted.
This time, he no longer hid his strength. After leaving the city gate, he used the shadow-following technique and quickly flew towards the surrounding cities. I was secretly feeling a pity in my heart. It would have been nice if Bai Suzhen was here. With her speed, she could arrive there in an instant.
As the morning of the third day approached, Cheng Ling finally recovered from exhaustion. During this trip, he looted all the elixirs from several surrounding cities and spent hundreds of millions on spiritual stones. Even the Wuxiang Sword Sect entrusted Liu Qingyan to purchase a large amount of elixirs.
For a time, there were almost no elixirs left in the entire Luoye City for thousands of miles, and all the elixirs were concentrated in the Shennong Pharmaceutical Shop.
After Cheng Ling finished doing this, he told Zhang Hu to pay attention to the people who were buying pills in large numbers, and then he sat aside and closed his eyes to rest.
Uncle Ming from the Chen Family Alchemy Shop was waiting in front of the Shennong Pharmaceutical Industry early in the morning. When it finally opened, he hurried in, threw out a diamond VIP card and a storage ring, and said: " All these spiritual stones should be replaced by elixirs for me!"
Cheng Ling's eyes opened slightly. He didn't expect it to come so soon. The other party was still very anxious, so he winked at Zhang Hu.
Zhang Hu understood instantly, came over and said, "Senior, Zhang Hu is the shopkeeper of our store. How can I help?"
"Stop talking nonsense and take out the elixir quickly. I bought all these spiritual stones."
Zhang Hu smiled and said: "Senior, don't worry, it's like this. You can enjoy a 50% discount on the spiritual stones in the VIP card, but you can't enjoy the spiritual stones in your storage ring!"
"Why? Isn't this fraud?"
"Senior, you must be reasonable when you speak. When we applied for the VIP card, it was explained that each person can only apply for one kind of VIP card. Once the spiritual stones in the VIP card are used up, you must apply again, otherwise our store will make little profit. If you get slapped with goods by your peers, you’ll be doomed!”
Uncle Ming was immediately confused. With this rule, he could only buy five million pills, which would not be able to move their muscles at all! He immediately began to ponder, thinking about countermeasures in his mind.
But when he was so silent, the people queuing behind stopped and yelled and cursed: "You old man, do you want to buy the elixir or not? If you leave without buying the elixir, don't you see that there are so many people queuing behind you?"
Uncle Ming was secretly angry and could only say: "Then I will buy five million pills!"
Zhang Hu nodded, gave him the elixir of five million spirit stones, and took back the VIP card.
Uncle Ming was anxious and said, "That's my VIP card. Why did you take it back?"
Zhang Hu said: "Old man, having bad ears and eyesight is a disease. It needs to be treated as soon as possible. Didn't you see the words on this card? We also explained it when we sold the VIP card!"
Uncle Ming looked at the small card attentively and saw it said: The balance of this card is insufficient and it will be taken back by our store and allowed to be processed again!
He was so angry that he vomited blood and could only leave in despair. He went back to report to Chen Haoran and let him make his own decision!
After sending the old man away, Zhang Hu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the young master was smart and thought of it in advance. Otherwise, if he had stolen everything, the customers in line behind him would have made trouble, which would have been troublesome. He didn't know it yet, but Cheng Ling had already prepared a large amount of elixirs to deal with any malicious raids by his peers!
When Uncle Ming returned to the family, he hurriedly asked to see Chen Haoran. He listened in the hall for a long time as the clan disciples boasted about their status symbols, and then he was taken to Chen Haoran's wing.
As soon as he entered, he told Chen Haoran what happened. After saying that, he shut up and waited for instructions!
Chen Haoran felt a headache. The other party was so sophisticated that he even thought of this part. It’s really tricky to make it so that one person can only apply for one. But turtles have their own way, and snakes have their own ways. Since one person can only apply for one, I will mobilize all the members of the clan to do it.
I don’t believe it, there are thousands of people in my Chen family, and I still can’t bring you down!
He was determined in his heart, so he told Uncle Ming how to do it, and also asked his disciples to call all the direct descendants of each house to come to the hall to discuss the matter!
The disciple passed the order, and soon everyone came.
Chen Haoran sat in the middle and glanced in all directions. Well, all the houses are quite obedient, even the second child has come. As for Chen Song, he is still in the Wuxiang Sword Sect and spends very little time in the family, so it is not surprising not to see him.
Chen Haoran said: "Today, Uncle Ming discovered a major event related to the survival of the family. Everyone should listen to it. Now let Uncle Ming tell the whole story."
After speaking, he motioned to the old man to speak.
Uncle Ming stood up tremblingly. This was his first time attending a clan meeting, so he was a little nervous! He tremblingly recounted the whole story, and finally said: "If this continues, our Chen family will definitely run out of financial resources. In less than half a year, the treasury will run out of stored spiritual stones!"
The elders were in an uproar, wondering why they had only discovered such a serious situation now. They couldn't help but look at each other angrily, and almost cursed.
Chen Haoran secretly scolded the idiot. Such words are not something you, a deacon of an alchemy shop, can say. If you want to say it, it must be said by the leader of the clan. Besides, you don’t need to be alarmist when you speak. Why don’t you turn around the corner? In other words?
When Uncle Ming saw everyone angry, he also knew that he had overstepped his bounds, so he could only look at Chen Haoran aggrievedly.
Chen Haoran didn't even glance at him, coughed twice, and then said after it was quiet: "Don't panic, everyone, I have already thought of a way to deal with it!"
Everyone hurriedly quieted down, everyone stared at Chen Haoran, listening attentively to his "countermeasures!"
