Chapter 79: Cluster Effect of Stores

Song Jie waited outside the door for a moment, and then saw the door being opened from the inside.

"Brother Song, you came back early today." Shi Lei laughed.

Song Jie nodded and said, "The pills are selling fast today, so we closed the stall early."

"Then wait a moment, I'll pack up and we'll be off."

Shi Lei said something and went back to the house to clean up.

After a while, he appeared at the gate again.

"Let's go."

As they spoke, the two of them walked together towards the commercial district near the center of Xinyuefang City.

As Shi Lei walked, he said, "Brother Song, what do you think about the location of the store?"

"I do have a humble opinion on this, brother."

Song Jie smiled slightly and continued, "The location of the store must first be a place with a large flow of people, and the second is the visibility of the store.

“The store should be located in a location that is easily noticed by pedestrians, such as a street corner.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Lei immediately nodded and praised: "Brother Song really has unique insights.

"Brother, I just thought of finding a place with a lot of people, but I didn't think about the conspicuousness of the store location."

Song Jie continued with a smile: "In addition to traffic and visibility, the surrounding business environment must also be considered."

"Business environment? What does this mean?"

Hearing this unfamiliar term, Shi Lei felt a little confused.

He knew each word individually, but when they were put together, he had no idea what they meant.

Song Jie patiently explained: "To put it simply, you should choose a location adjacent to other related or complementary stores.

“For example, if Brother Shi sells weapons, he can choose a location adjacent to a clothing store.

“I sell medicinal pills, so I can choose a location adjacent to a herbal medicine store.

"This will create a clustering effect, which can effectively increase the likelihood of passersby entering the store to make purchases."

After listening to Song Jie's explanation, Shi Lei suddenly felt a sense of awe.

Looking at Song Jie, he asked, "Let's open a shop together, selling both weapons and armor as well as elixirs. Which location should we choose that is adjacent to other shops?"

“In fact, our partnership in opening a store is itself a kind of clustering effect, as we all have customers with the same needs.

“We can find a street with a talisman shop, or a street with shops selling elixirs or weapons.

“These are all good choices.”

Shi Lei couldn't help but feel emotional and exclaimed: "Fortunately, I found Brother Song to open a shop with me. If I were to think about these things, I would never be able to think of them."

"These are the experiences I learned from refining pills in Baodan Building before."

Song Jie laughed and used the name of Baodan Building to find a reasonable explanation for himself.

Shi Lei had no doubts about this.

After that, the two didn't say anything else.

After arriving at the block where shops are concentrated near the city center of Xinyuefang, he first went to see the shops for sublease that Shi Lei had asked his friends to help him find.

Finally, after Song Jie's evaluation, only one store could barely meet the requirements.

The two were not in a hurry to rent the shop immediately. They planned to look at more shops and make comparisons.

Until the evening, the two had not made up their minds.

When it comes to choosing a store location, you can't be too hasty and it requires consideration from many aspects.

After all, once it is decided, a large amount of spirit stones will be invested to renovate the store, and the subsequent operation will also require a lot of costs.

Both of them were very patient about this. Opening the store a few days earlier or later had no effect on them.

So they agreed to find time another day to continue checking out the store.

When I got home, it was already getting dark.

Song Jie first practiced magic and body movements in the yard for half an hour. Then he went into the kitchen and sorted the purchased medicinal materials according to different elixirs while steaming the spiritual rice, and placed them on the shelf.

After enjoying today's delicious dinner, I took a comfortable hot bath.

At this point, the busy day is finally over.

After returning to the room, Song Jie began to think about going to Tianxianglou for a medical consultation tomorrow.

Based on his knowledge of pharmacology, there seemed to be no exact equivalents to aphrodisiacs for women.

In that regard, the situation for women is more complicated than that for men, and usually requires specific treatment.

There is rarely a single medication that works for all women.

Of course, these are the conclusions Song Jie drew based on the knowledge he had before traveling through time.

Now he is in the world of cultivating immortals, with all kinds of magical powers, and everything is possible.

"It seems that we have to wait until tomorrow's consultation to know the specific situation."

When Song Jie thought of the charming and enchanting prostitutes in Tianxiang Tower, he felt a headache.

"Tomorrow will probably be a tough battle... Alas~"

With a light sigh, Song Jie immediately sat cross-legged and began his practice tonight.

……

The next day.

As agreed, Song Jie arrived at Tianxiang Tower at exactly 9 o'clock.

At this time, Tianxiang Tower had just opened and the interior seemed a bit deserted.

As soon as he entered Tianxiang Tower, Song Jie saw Alan already waiting there.

When Alan saw Song Jie coming in, he immediately said with a smile: "Master Song, you are here~
"The girls are all ready, please follow me."

Hearing this, Song Jie couldn't help but blink.

This sentence sounds a bit weird, as if I came to Tianxiang Tower to do something bad.

Although he thought so in his heart, Song Jie still followed Alan obediently.

Going up the stairs, they soon arrived at the third floor of Tianxiang Tower.

"Master Song, please come this way."

The two walked to a room with a closed door, and Alan first made a gesture of invitation to Song Jie.

Then he gently pushed the door open with both hands.

In an instant, Song Jie's eyes froze, widened, and his heart beat faster.

The moment the door opened, what came into view was a riot of colour.

Several charming and enchanting women were in the room, sitting or standing.

Their figures are like flowers blooming in spring, each with its own charm, and together they form a fragrant picture.

Each of these women has her own unique charm.

Some are as gentle as water, with a tender light flickering in their eyes.

Some are passionate as fire, and exude endless energy in every frown and smile.

Others are as cold as ice, with a noble temperament that makes people feel they are out of their reach.

Some of them are shy with lowered brows, some are smiling sweetly, some have wandering eyes, and some are standing gracefully, just like a moving painting of a beautiful lady.

Song Jie's nose twitched, and he felt a faint fragrance in the air.

It was a unique scent created by the combination of the rouge scent on the women and the incense in the house, which made people involuntarily indulge in it.

For a moment, Song Jie was in a trance, wondering if he had traveled through time again...

Travel to a dreamlike wonderland.

Looking at these beautiful women with their own unique characteristics in front of him, even with Song Jie's firm heart of Taoism, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
