Chapter 61: The Head Talks Business
"We can't just focus on Dongzhou. As Fifth Uncle just said, there are many sects from other places who want to visit us, so we must seize this opportunity to build friendships with them, and even discuss cooperation."
"Speaking of cooperation, Wanluo Sect has received many orders and wants to cooperate with us. They have many people refining weapons, which can allow Palm Qiankun to refine more and faster."
Master Wu Chen thought of the thick stack of orders and couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Zhong Ling'er shook her head and sighed, "Master, you got one thing wrong. We are the only ones who have the Palm Universe, and now a large group of people are chasing us with spiritual stones to buy them. It's not that we have something that we can't sell, so we are begging others to buy it."
"We won't cooperate with anyone. We make the Palm Universe ourselves and sell it in our own shop. Just now I said I wanted to discuss cooperation with someone, and what I was talking about was opening branches of Taiqiong Commercial Bank in all cities."
"In the past, when we wanted to open a business, many places wouldn't allow us to enter. Once we finally got in, we had to endure suppression from our peers. But now it's different."
"First of all, we need to position Taiqiong Commercial Bank. We only sell things that are not available on the market, and are unique and scarce. Therefore, there is no conflict of interest between us and our peers, and we will not compete with them for business. Of course, they cannot win because they cannot get the goods."
"The cities that didn't allow us to enter before will now have to actively invite us in. Otherwise, there will be many things in their cities that cannot be purchased, and people will have to go elsewhere to buy things. This will cause many people to leave, and their tax revenue and rent will also decrease."
"We are currently selling Palm Universe, and later we will have formation plates, rare talismans, high-level elixirs, and many other attractive items. Just think about it, if Taiqiong Commercial Bank opens stores all over the cultivation world, everyone who wants to buy rare items can only come to us. Will we still have to worry about spirit stones then? Will we still lack cultivation resources?"
The scene described by Zhong Ling'er made people's blood boil, especially for Zhenren Wuchen and Zhenren Wuji. They have suffered from the lack of spirit stones for hundreds of years. If they can really achieve the scene like what Ling'er described, they will never have to worry about spirit stones in the future. Maybe even the problem that has plagued Taiqiong Sect for thousands of years will be solved.
"Then why don't you sell the Palm Universe at a higher price? There will be many people who will buy it for 5,000 Spiritual Stones."
Qi Haoran raised a question. This was something he had never figured out. If he could obviously make more money, why not go and make it?
Zhong Linger smiled, "Because you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Look at Tianji Pavilion. It has Tianji Academy and Tianji Trading Company under its name. It has also recruited many weapon refiners and has a sword-making workshop. It's the same for us. We can't just have Taiqiong Trading Company. We need other things."
"But it's hard for us to open academies and do other things better than them, so we still have to do something they haven't done. The only thing we can do is this forum on the Palm Qiankun."
"With the addition of many functions to the Palm Qiankun, this forum is no longer a simple place to chat, but a huge platform for information exchange. Tianji Pavilion has mastered many geniuses through Tianji Academy, and we want to master information, guide information, and even control people's hearts."
"I don't raise the price of Palm of the Universe because I want everyone in the cultivation world to be able to afford it, or even have one."
Then Zhong Ling'er gave everyone a business class, and explained her plan in detail and made the division of labor. The lecture lasted all night. When everyone left the next day, they were all eager to go and full of confidence, as if they were about to make a big move and create a great career.
True Man Wu Chen rejected Wanluo Sect's request for cooperation, and faced with True Man Xuan Cheng's questioning, he put on a very helpless face.
"It's not that I don't want to cooperate with you. We all belong to the same five major sects and have been friends for many years. How could I not think of you when something good happens? It's just that I asked my two junior brothers Wuji and Wuzhuo, and they said that no one else can create the Palm of the Universe."
"You should have opened it and looked at it. The most important thing inside is a Dao rune. My two junior brothers got it by chance. If you can't comprehend this rune, you can't refine the palm of your hand. Can any of you comprehend it?"
Master Xuan Cheng's face flushed. They did take apart the Palm Universe and did see the rune. They then asked a few elders to study it for a whole night and came to the conclusion that the rune was too mysterious and could not be understood at all.
He couldn't even understand it, let alone replicate it, so he could only start from Taiqiong Sect. Now that it was pointed out, he couldn't hold his face.
But he was not one to give up easily. He took Wu Chen Zhenren's hand and said, "We can't make the runes, but we can help refine other things!"
Wu Chen thought about it, and nodded as if he had made up his mind. "If that's the case, that's fine. You can refine other things and sell them to us. As for what you refine, I'll let Wu Zhuo talk to your elders."
Xuancheng Zhenren's heart sank, and he said hurriedly: "No, we should refine it together, or you can carve the runes and give them to us. The orders are all in our hands."
Wu Chen Zhenren smiled faintly and said, "Is that so? That's easy. You can give the order to us, or have them come to us, and we will sign with them."
Taoist Xuancheng was so angry that he pointed at Taoist Wuchen, but saw that he was looking at him indifferently, and suddenly he could not say a word.
He wanted to take advantage of others but failed, and he couldn't do the thing of scolding others. He still had some bottom line. But he couldn't help but wonder what made the Wu Chen Zhenren in front of him seem like a different person, not as easy to fool as before?
It seems that I have made a stupid mistake. How could the head of a sect like Wu Chen be stupid? He is kind-hearted but not a fool. I actually wanted to fool him. I feel really ashamed.
Xuan Cheng Zhenren bowed to Wu Chen Zhenren and said, "I have overstepped my bounds. Please do not blame me, Sect Master Wu Chen. Let's just leave this matter at that and do not mention it again."
Zhenren Wu Chen resumed his previous image of a good old man. He helped the man up with a smile and talked about other things, such as opening a branch of Taiqiong Commercial Bank in the city managed by Wanluo Sect, and then erecting a Taiqiong Mirror, using the rent of the Taiqiong Mirror to offset the commercial bank's taxes.
This was the first time that Master Wu Chen negotiated business. Fortunately, Master Xuan Cheng was also very eager for the Taiqiong Mirror, so after getting the first promise to help with the installation, everything went very smoothly.
In the evening, when the sect leaders were discussing the next match, many people suggested equipping the disciples with clairvoyance, and some suggested that each sect should have a Taiqiong realm master. Immortal Wu Chen waved his hand and said that everything would be easy as long as the spirit stones were in place.
