Shangyuque

Chapter 55 Something went wrong, and Wang Yulou, the big head, was responsible
Seeing the carrier pigeon fly away, Yulou spoke carefully.

"Uncle, Yulou has an immature little idea. I hope you can give me some advice."

Wang Rongsheng nodded in surprise and said.

"You don't have to be so polite, Yulou, but you can say it."

Yulou is a younger generation that is favored by the clan leaders and deserves the evaluation of being the Qilin son of the Wang family.

Therefore, even though Wang Rongsheng has a higher level of cultivation and is older, he still attaches great importance to Yulou.

This is the respect that Yulou earned by displaying his wisdom step by step.

"Whether my plan to use horse racing to promote Baibao Pavilion will be successful is still uncertain, so I've come up with a new idea."

Hearing that Yulou had a new idea, Wang Rongsheng felt helpless.

The way of doing business is to pay attention to the authenticity of goods and to honesty. Even if it is to stick to the basics and do something surprising, it is better to stick to the basics and do less surprising to ensure stability.

The young man Yulou, however, is thinking about how to do something surprising every day.

In fact, this is not surprising. For Yulou, in this cage-like world of cultivating immortals, the best development path he has seen so far is to focus closely on his family.

Only when the family is doing well can he benefit from it.

His family was not well-off, and his small body had a hard time in this cruel environment.

Therefore, the sooner the Baibao Pavilion is put into operation, the better the Wang family's development will be.

The future of Yulou will also be broader and smoother.

Therefore, he was so eager to do something to change the status quo in order to cope with a future full of uncontrollable variables.

Wang Rongsheng had some opinions about Yulou's anxiety, but he was unwilling to say it directly.

After all, Yulou and he had no conflicts of interest, so he still asked with a smile.

"Oh, what's the idea?"

Yulou didn't notice the resistance in Wang Rongsheng's eyes, and just thought that his uncle still valued her very much.

"Uncle, I plan to organize a special blind box gambling event in the Treasure Pavilion to stimulate customers' desire to buy."

When he heard the word "gambling", Wang Rongsheng became even more alert.

"Gambling? Gambling is not a good idea. We in the Wang family don't lack that little money, so we still have to be cautious.

Besides, what do you mean by "blind box"? "

“It’s like this, among Qingxifang’s customers, the ones with the highest cultivation level are only at the Qi training stage.

Moreover, most of them are independent cultivators and cultivators from small families, and they are generally quite short of money.

But they often go to watch horse racing at the racecourse, and many of them have developed the habit of betting on horses.

Therefore, I thought of a special sales method, which I call "betting blind box". We only need to"

Following Yulou's explanation, Wang Rongsheng understood what he wanted to do, hesitated and thought for a long time, then spoke.

"Yulou, did you come up with this idea yourself, or did some shady monk tell you this?"

Yulou was a little surprised to hear his uncle's words.

He realized that his uncle did not believe in him.

"Uncle, this idea is a bit unorthodox.

But from the customer's perspective, the goods in the blind box of Baibao Pavilion are at least worth half of the spiritual stones they paid.

This can give customers who buy blind boxes a sense of psychological security. In addition to this sense of security, if they buy a blind box containing high-value goods, they can also make a lot of money.

Although this sales method is called blind box gambling, it is fundamentally different from gambling where you can easily lose all your money.

Yulou certainly won’t associate with those dubious monks. The idea of the blind box was all my own.”

Appointed by the clan leader, Wang Rongsheng is now the steward of the Wang family in Qingxifang. He has a say in all the Wang family's businesses in Qingxifang.

If his plan does not get Wang Rongsheng's approval, it cannot be implemented in Baibao Pavilion.

Therefore, Yulou answered carefully and comprehensively.

“Yulou, of course I believe in you, but how can you guarantee that the plan of selling blind boxes will not lose money?

You know, if we can make a profit, it means that the customers who buy blind boxes lose money.

If customers lose money once, twice, or at most three times, they will not buy again, and the blind box sales will not be sustainable.

If we don’t make any profit and pass on the profits to customers, maybe blind box sales will be hot, but it will be meaningless to us.”

Wang Rongsheng’s understanding was very simple. Yulou’s plan sounded reasonable, but in essence it was a double-edged sword, and one side would always suffer.

"Uncle, I'm discussing this with you. There are always gains and losses in doing things. If you don't agree, just pretend I never mentioned it."

Yulou said helplessly.

Do less and make fewer mistakes; do more and make more mistakes. This saying really applies everywhere.

He just proposed a plan, but was questioned by Wang Rongsheng.

Wanting to do things is not easy.
The risk of failure and pressure from superiors are unavoidable.

But perhaps something of his words touched Wang Rongsheng, but this cousin who Yu Lou was not familiar with actually agreed with his idea in the end.

“How about this, I support you in using the spirit stones from the Treasure Pavilion to try out a blind box gambling event.

If it works, we'll continue.

If the effect is not good, how about just doing it once and then stopping? "

Yulou had no choice but to agree.

In fact, what he didn't know was that at the moment of decision, Wang Rongsheng was not thinking about whether the event would succeed or not, nor whether Baibao Pavilion would make a profit or a loss. The success or failure of the event, or how much profit Baibao Pavilion made, had nothing to do with Wang Rongsheng.

Yulou is the shopkeeper. If anything goes wrong, Wang Yulou will be responsible.

What Wang Rongsheng was considering was that Yulou seemed to want to use the public funds of Baibao Pavilion to purchase the purple copper pestle from him.

Therefore, I came up with a new idea to try to convince myself.

Regarding this matter, Yulou is the head manager of Baibao Pavilion, and the purchase of the purple copper pestle was done through accounts between Baibao Pavilion and Huafengju. The procedure was reasonable, so why would Wang Rongsheng stop it?

The Wang family has already provided him with all kinds of resources sufficient for him to practice to the peak of Qi training. The most important thing for Wang Rongsheng now is to practice, and he has no need to offend anyone.

Haven’t you heard that you can bully the old but not the young?
-
The next day, in Qingxifang, Wang's Treasure Pavilion.

"Are you sure this method will work?"

Bai Lu, who was pulled away by Yu Lou, looked at the wooden box on the counter, and his words were full of doubts.

As an orphan who was adopted and raised, she certainly did not question Yu Lou's courage.

The reason I asked this was because I was worried that Yulou’s attempt would fail.

As the noble daughter of Wang family, Yulou and Yu'an did not look down on her, but regarded her as a friend.

As a friend, Bai Lu is very worried.

“There are huge differences between monks and ordinary people, but in terms of human nature, there are many similarities.

Ordinary people are greedy for beauty, wealth, and status.
Monks also have delusions, wishing for good fortune and longevity.
As long as there is a chance, everyone has the possibility to believe that they are the ones favored by heaven."

There are thousands of cultivators in Qingxifang, and hundreds of thousands of cultivators within the radiation range of Qingxifang. Among so many people, would there be a shortage of greedy fools?
Each blind box from Baibao Pavilion costs twenty spirit stones, and contains at least four different talismans, which are worth ten spirit stones at the market price.

If someone is very smart and lucky enough to buy something that contains a purple copper pestle, he can easily make a fortune.

After Red Lantern's harvest, the prices of all magic tools increased significantly. A four-layer restricted purple copper pestle was worth at least eighty spirit stones.

Buy it and earn four times the money!
(Wu Jinyan offered 60 spirit stones for the fifth-layer forbidden copper bead, but he was trying to lower the price. Also, the bead-shaped magic weapon was not very prestigious, so the price was low.)

Yulou believes that since so many people are willing to bet on horses, there must be people willing to buy blind boxes!
If they are not sold within ten days, after the next horse racing event starts, once Yang Qi’s advertisement comes out, the accumulated inventory of blind boxes will also be cleared out by gamblers who like to bet on horses.

This is the confidence that gave him the courage to mention the blind box plan to Wang Rongsheng!
Wang Yulou is not a fool, how could he blindly participate in an event?

"Then do you think you are a favored one?"

Bai Lu didn't understand how seriously Yulou had prepared. She was just curious about how the Wang family's children would view her.

Yulou was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly.

"God's Blessing? Hahaha, which God's Blessing has lost both parents when he was young, and grew up in such a bad era.

Maybe the children of the Wang family are very lucky in your eyes, but in front of the real power, the Wang family is just a bigger ant. "

Wang Xianmao was worried that Yulou Huiji would be injured, but his worry was unnecessary.

Yulou knows where he should go and how he should act, so he will not be confused.

Since this world is very cruel, the control of the ten sects of the Immortal Alliance can be said to be bone-sucking.

Then go to the top, to the top where no one can oppress or control him.

Go and practice, go and practice in the world, go and practice in hardship, go and practice in solitude.

Now that he has come to this world where he can become an immortal, Wang Yulou naturally does not want to waste his life at the bottom of society.

He wasn't sure if he had the guts to do it, but he had the courage to face the climb.

That was enough for him to set off.

As for how to set off?

Start by managing the Treasure Pavilion well and consolidating your position in the Wang family!
"A bigger ant? How is that possible?"

The egret could not see the eternal sun, and could not understand the cruelty of the Mangxiang Patriarch who drained the red lights to prove his enlightenment.

In her eyes, the Wang family is not just an ant, but one of the strongest forces in Qingxifang, and a foundation-building immortal clan in the eyes of casual cultivators.

“Hahaha, let’s not talk about this anymore. Come on, put all the blind boxes on the shelf in front of the counter and open the door. I hope there will be more customers today.”

Yulou gave the order, and Bailu and the men worked busily, some opening doors and some counting the goods.

The early morning sun shone through the gate of Baibao Pavilion, illuminating the white jade floor with a golden glow, and customers began to appear one after another.

Yulou did not take the initiative to promote the blind box, but watched Bailu and others receive them.

He is the shopkeeper and it is impossible for him to do everything by himself. He has to distribute the work to others appropriately so that he can leave enough time for practice.

Although the upper limit of daily practice in the Qi Induction Stage has been locked by the advanced practitioners, there are still many areas that Yu Lou needs to practice besides improving his cultivation.

What surprised Yulou was that there were actually more customers today than yesterday, and they refused to leave once they entered the Treasure Pavilion.

They didn't look at the goods or call for help. They just stood in front of the tables for the limited-time auction, looking at the items on the tables and not leaving.

It turned out that these customers had long been eyeing the limited-time auction at Baibao Pavilion, but were unwilling to place bids in advance and waited until the last day to come.

How should I put it? This behavior is quite like going to a supermarket and waiting for the fish to turn over in the seafood section.

Yulou's uneasiness also dissipated.

Since he took office as the head manager of Baibao Pavilion, the two activities he launched, a 10% off group tour for three people and a limited-time auction, have both been successful.

Look at the people crowding in front of the limited-time auction table. The traffic-generating effect is visibly good.

With feedback like this, Yulou has more confidence in the blind box activity.

　There is one more, I will post it later
