Zhang Hu's display immediately overwhelmed Mo Zixing. There is no doubt that the Luochen Sword Sect still won in this weapon test.
In this way, almost all the alchemy weapon formations passed the assessment. Cheng Ling received three grandmaster tokens, Zhang Hu received the seventh-grade immortal weapon master token, and Su Zimo, Ao Hanmei, Yi Shan, and Bai Feng also received their own. The Grandmaster Token.
Luochen Sword Sect not only did not suffer any blow in this preliminary round, but actually gained a lot. However, both Cheng Ling and Zhang Hu knew that the real competition officially began from this moment.
Our side finally got the respect it deserved. Zhang Hu and Cheng Ling sat at the negotiation table with the four big bosses. This time, their vital interests were at stake, and even King Shen Xingdan was not easy to talk to.
Fu Qianli was the first to put forward the requirements of the Four Alliances. The Luochen Sword Sect had the qualifications to open shops in the southern Xinjiang area, but it was limited to the sales of alchemy weapon arrays below the fourth grade. The remaining high-end markets must be given away and operated by the Four Alliances.
This can be said to be a lion's mouth. Zhang Hu naturally refused to agree and said: "Seniors, is this too much? Zhongyuan Continent is so vast, wouldn't it be a stomachache to swallow it in one bite?"
Guang Ningzi laughed and said: "Zhang Zhang's statement is ridiculous. The resources on the mainland are already limited. It took tens of thousands of years for the Four Alliances to reach their current scale. Now they are giving up a few points because of the influence of several masters. On my face.”
"Level 6, it can't be any lower! Besides, we only operate in the southern Xinjiang region, so the impact on you will be very limited." Zhang Hu gritted his teeth and also offered a price.
"Zhang Zhang, this is not right. Although the monastic civilization in Southern Xinjiang is not developed, but because of this, the monks have stronger requirements for the alchemy weapon array. It can be said to be an undeveloped vast market. Even if you are in the south, You can’t eat it all in one bite!”
Master Long Yuan rolled his eyes, but what he said was a slap in the face, as if the Luochen Sword Sect had monopolized the entire Southern Xinjiang.
The two sides were quarreling with each other, neither giving in to the other. Seeing that the conversation was just a quarrel, Cheng Ling frowned slightly and winked at Zhang Hu.
Zhang Hu understood instantly that the two of them had actually discussed it before coming over. Since the four alliances of the Alchemy Instrument Array have encountered such problems, their ultimate goal is to suppress Luochen Pharmaceutical. After all, in order to open up the market, Luochen Pharmaceutical sells finished products with higher quality and slightly lower prices.
This is equivalent to a direct impact on the benefits that the four alliances deserve. It is impossible not to make some concessions, but how to retreat? How to retreat? After retreating, it will not have a big impact on the sect. This is the key!
At this point, it's time to reveal the real trump card.
Zhang Hu stood up, sighed and said: "Seniors, if we continue to argue like this, we don't know when we will get the result. How about we each give in?"
"Oh? It seems that Sect Leader Zhang has a plan for a long time. Why don't we talk about it first." No one of the six people present is a fool, and the external voice can naturally be heard.
The Four Alliances were powerful, but they were not good at fighting. Moreover, Cheng Ling's identity was also very sensitive. They did not want to quarrel with each other, so they stopped arguing and listened quietly.
Zhang Hu said: "First, the finished products sold by the Luochen Sword Sect in various fairy cities are limited to the alchemy weapon formations below the fifth grade and above the fifth grade. We will find sales channels by ourselves and will never sell them in the main city. .”
"Secondly, I, the Luochen Sword Sect, have taken this step back and hope that the seniors of the Four Alliances will allow us to operate branches in other cities in Zhongyuan Continent, and we will also only sell finished products below the fifth grade."
"Third, the four alliances of shops in each main city
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
They should be treated equally and everyone should share what they have with each other. In other words, apprentices of the Alchemy Weapon Formation of the Luochen Sword Sect can go to other alliances to practice. "
After saying that, Zhang Hu sat back on the chair, closed his eyes, and waited for the other party's reply.
The four bosses looked at each other, and Fu Qianli was the first to say: "Sect Leader Zhang made a good plan. We reluctantly agreed to the first item, but this second item will expand your business scope. Not only will it not be damaged, but it will The impact on the four alliances is even stronger, this is not the attitude that negotiations should have!"
Zhang Hu opened his eyes and said: "That's not how the account is calculated. Senior, just imagine, the profit of a sixth-grade elixir is at least as good as a dozen fifth-grade elixirs, and after the elixirs are sold at a limited level, we will Without circulation channels, what’s the point of refining high-quality elixirs but having nowhere to sell them.”
Guang Ningzi's heart moved, he winked at the other three, and said through a message: "That's right. Since we can't suppress them forcefully, we might as well give them some space. And just imagine, high-grade finished products can't be sold. The enthusiasm of those masters for refining will be greatly reduced. If things go on like this, their realm will be improved slowly, which invisibly helps us."
The three big guys thought about it carefully and found that this possibility was indeed possible. However, Fu Qianli was very cunning and said: "We can agree to it, but the selling price is still open to discussion. We must ensure that the finished products sold by Luochen Pharmaceutical are not lower than our selling price." .”
"In this way, without the price advantage, we will slightly improve the quality. With the power of our four alliances, even if we give them the largest operating space, they will be able to encroach step by step until they are completely annihilated."
"Yes, Alliance Leader Fu has a good idea. In this case, we can agree to the second item. But for the third item, I still can't figure out what kind of medicine he is selling in his gourd?"
"Then what's there to think about? Even if they all win today's competition, they will only have a few people at best. Does the sect have as many masters as our four alliances? Are the resources as strong as ours? Are the inheritances as rich as ours?"
"To put it bluntly, they actually took a fancy to the inheritance I was waiting for in the alchemy weapon formation, and they just wanted to come here to learn from it. According to me, Cheng Ling's talent is quite good. After being cultivated and nurtured over time, It’s possible to bring him to our side.”
As soon as these words came out, the four people's eyes lit up. They turned to look at Cheng Ling, bit their ears again, and then turned around.
Fu Qianli coughed dryly and said: "After our discussion, the conditions proposed by Sect Master Zhang are acceptable, and we agree to them all! But our Four Alliance also has a condition."
"What conditions?" Zhang Hu felt happy and asked quickly.
"It's very simple. We will give you a broad space for development, but at the same time, we must also limit the selling price. The finished products sold by Luochen Sword Sect cannot be lower than the market price. If you agree, our agreement will be reached."
Zhang Hu was stunned. These old guys were indeed treacherous. Of the three previous points, the second one was actually the most important. In this way, not only can the shops be fully rolled out, but also the intelligence network can be developed.
But to achieve such a harvest, the market must be opened. Without the price advantage, it will be difficult to make a breakthrough under the joint efforts of the four alliances of the Danfu Weapon Formation.
Just as he was about to retort, Cheng Ling sent a message and said, "Let's do this for now. Things between the four alliances can take their time. The threat from the Sea Clan is imminent."
Zhang Hu had no choice but to glare at the four old men, pretending to be pitiful, and said: "That's all, the Four Alliances are powerful, Luo
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The Chenjian Sect is beyond reach, so be it! "
The four old men chuckled. The two parties signed several relevant agreements based on the principles of mutual benefit and joint cooperation, and the negotiation ended.
The four old men popped their crowns to celebrate, but the Luochen Sword Sect members felt as if they were mourning their heirs.
Before leaving, King Shen Xingdan came to Cheng Ling and said: "Little friend, I heard your master's wife say before that you have not returned to Junzifeng since Jiuyou Immortal Mansion. I miss you very much. But It’s a new sect that’s not popular, there’s nothing worth remembering, so go back and have a look early.”
Cheng Ling felt a little touched in her heart. No matter what, Mu Jinrong still treated her very well. He bowed and replied: "Yes, thank you, senior. When the matter here is over, I will definitely go back to Junzifeng to apologize to my master."
"Well, just take care of yourself!"
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left with everyone in the Dan Alliance.
The other monks from the three alliances also left one after another. Cheng Ling glanced at them and saw the eager expressions of Guang Ningzi and Fu Qianli, who seemed to be coming to recruit them. He was impatient and continued to talk, so he immediately ordered Zhang Hu to be the person, and he also left.
On the way back, Zhang Hu asked doubtfully: "Master, although I won this competition, I didn't seem to get any benefits. On the contrary, I was restricted a lot."
Cheng Ling smiled calmly and said: "Don't be anxious, take a long-term view. The Four Alliance thought they had taken advantage of it, but later they realized that they had made a fatal mistake!"
"Oh?" Zhang Hu's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Master, please clarify my doubts."
Cheng Ling was silent for a while and said, "Let me ask you a question first. Which one do you think is better, one out of ten people, or one hundred out of a thousand people?"
Zhang Hu was stunned, thought for a while, and said doubtfully: "Isn't this the same?"
"Wrong!" Cheng Ling said coldly: "For example, if it is conveyed by one person among ten people, it may take ten times, but if it is conveyed by a hundred people among a thousand people, it will not be conveyed at all. It takes ten times, but it increases exponentially.”
Zhang Hu thought about it for a while, suddenly woke up and said, "That's true, but what does this have to do with opening up the shop market?"
"That's not how the accounts are calculated. In the previous agreement, on the surface, we don't have much advantage. We only have the right to sell products below fifth grade. But this is not the key. The key is that the audience is much larger than the high-end market."
"Audience? High-end market? What is that?" Zhang Hu became more and more confused as he listened.
Cheng Ling smiled and said: "This is a statistical concept. You can be forgiven for not understanding it. To put it simply, finished products below the fifth grade correspond to mostly monks below the Immortal Lord, right?"
"Yes!"
"Then do you think there are more monks below the Immortal Lord in Zhongyuan Continent, or more monks above the Immortal Lord?"
Zhang Hu suddenly understood and said without thinking: "Of course there are more people below the Immortal Lord."
"That's it. Obtaining the management rights in all fairy cities is only the first step. The second step is to create a scale effect. Although our selling price is the same as that of the Four Leagues, we can definitely use our brains on quality. Anyone will understand the difference between high-quality elixirs and medium-quality elixirs.”
"First expand the industrial chain and cover the low-end market. Those monks are our living signs and advertisements. In this way, if the word spreads from ten to ten, it will soon form a scale, and the monks who come to buy will flock to it. Not only will the volume not be reduced, it will be multiplied.”
