Chapter 98 Rainbow Bull and Coke
"The administrative management of Yanyun Tower consists of a building owner, a deputy building owner, and ten island owners."
"Among the ten islands, eight of them correspond to the 'Eight Musical Instruments'. The musical instruments are classified according to the different materials used to make them: gold, stone, earth, leather, silk, wood, gourd, and bamboo. The instruments outside the Eight Musical Instruments belong to the Exotic Island. In addition, all the medical practitioners in Yanyun Tower belong to the Medical Island."
"The Yanyunlou Islands are connected, with only the Medical Island standing alone on one side."
"Several hundred years ago, Medical Island was originally an independent sect. Due to the invasion of demons, Medical Island had no means of attack and could not stand alone, so it later became part of Yanyun Tower." Gui Ruoxue said coldly.
Ning Mingmei: "I see."
"I advise you to lower your expectations." Gui Ruoxue folded her hands and said, "Lu Mengqing is a very competitive woman. She has been like this for more than 600 years."
Ning Mingmei glanced at Gui Ruoxue and pushed his glasses: "Are you familiar with her?"
If he hadn't said it, Ning Mingmei would have almost forgotten that this man was actually more than two hundred years older than him.
Although Gui Ruoxue is more than two hundred years older than Ning Mingmei, his resume is not proportional to his age. Ning Mingmei is also a person with connections. He has firmly secured the position of the Sword-wielding Elder of the Qingji Sect. Although it is a bench position, it is still a lifelong teaching position after all, and he has a senior brother who is the sect leader. Gui Ruoxue was either promoted or left in both Minghua Valley and Qingyutan. After being away for half her life, she returned as a postdoctoral fellow in Ningmingmeifeng.
Therefore, the choice of the unit is more important than personal efforts!
Another thing is that they would rather slack off at work than innovate in the face of their leaders. Gui Ruoxue was fired from the first Minghua Valley because he was trying to innovate in spite of his superiors and was taking advantage of the old pharmacists - so if they don't drive you away, who else can they drive out?
Gui Ruoxue's face darkened immediately: "When she was a child...she occasionally came to Minghua Valley to live for a few years."
This might not be a coincidence, maybe it's a bit like childhood sweethearts.
Ning Mingmei asked again: "How do you want to be competitive? Tell me."
Gui Ruoxue's face was as rotten as if she had eaten pickled cabbage: "I beat her in archery, and I used some tricks... She chased me on horseback for three hundred miles."
Now that he has fallen into this situation, I wonder if Lu Mengqing is gloating over his misfortune.
Thinking of this, Gui Ruoxue felt annoyed: "Forget it, please don't let me meet her."
Ning Mingmei was very objective: "Wig, you deserve it."
Therefore, Lu Mengqing's character portrait was established.
"I heard that the disciples sent by Yanyun Tower this time are almost all in the middle stage of Jindan. As long as Lu Mengqing wants to win, she will definitely be well prepared." Gui Ruoxue was choked by Ning Mingmei and could only laugh, "I advise you to spend less time on useless battles. It's useless for you to just win a few competitions."
Gui Ruoxue felt that she was telling the truth.
The competition between Qingji Sect and Yanyun Tower is a matter between the two sect leaders and popular elders. So what if other sects also send people to observe? It's going to be embarrassing, and the first ones to bear the brunt of the shame are Qi Miancheng and Fang Wuyu, aren't they?
In short, Gui Ruoxue felt that this problem was easy to solve.
Ning Mingmei won on behalf of Qingji Sect, and the biggest beneficiaries were Qingji Sect and Qi Miancheng. Ning Mingmei might be able to get some honor, but the honor was limited - and could not be converted into cash. The only benefit is that it makes it easier to recruit students for the next session.
But does Ning Mingmei have the money to support so many disciples?
——During this period of time, Gui Ruoxue has seen clearly that Piaomiao Peak looks really poor, with nothing in it. If Gui Ruoxue needs a test tube, she has to burn it herself.
If Hu Yang hadn't been so helpful and Ren Miao so sincere, Gui Ruoxue would have wanted to crawl into Ning Mingmei's bed every night, grab him by the collar and ask him where his conscience was.
But what if Ning Mingmei and Fang Wuyu both lost to Yanyun Tower?
The most shameful ones are Qingji Sect and the notorious Fang Wuyu. As for Ning Mingmei, few people remembered him in the first place, so the embarrassment he suffered was limited.
And he can also take the gambling money from Fang Wuyu.
Besides that, you can also watch Fang Wu Yu being laughed at.
"If I were you, I would start thinking from today on how to mess up Fang Wuyu," Gui Ruoxue said.
Ning Mingmei lowered his head to look at what Gui Ruoxue had made: "Xiao Gui, there is something wrong with your thinking and attitude."
Gui Ruoxue: ...
"You... are talking about me?"
How dare you, such a heartless person, say that he has ideological problems?
Ning Mingmei pushed his glasses up and picked up a can from Gui Ruoxue's desk: "I'm going to win the competition."
Gui Ruoxue: "?? Then why did you ask me to make these things this month?"
Ning Mingmei sniffed the liquid in the can and felt that it was 90% similar: "For a win-win situation."
Gui Ruoxue:?
That means winning twice.
More than half a month had passed from the time Qi Miancheng ascended to the time the distinguished guests arrived at Yanyun Tower. During the past half month, Ning Mingmei forced Gui Ruoxue, Xuezhu, Huyang, Ren Miao and four disciples who had just returned from training to do this every day.
The liquid in the pile of glass bottles in front of you is the result.
Ning Mingmei counted the jars one by one.
"It can slightly improve your spirits, make you energetic and vigorous like a bull. This can is called Rainbow Bull."
"It can slightly enhance memory. This bottle is called Suanxin Oral Liquid."
"This one... well, it's a tonic anyway. It's at a platinum level among tonics. Let's call it Old Platinum."
The expression of Gui Ruoxue, who was standing next to her, became increasingly gloomy.
"As for these two cans."
Ning Mingmei tasted the black liquid, closed his eyes, and said, "Hmm, it's full of energy."
The same goes for the other clear jar.
"This black can is called Coke, because the smoke-clearing competition has begun, it's very coke." Ning Mingmei said.
Gui Ruoxue began to speak sarcastically: "It seems that Master Ning Feng is in a very happy mood."
Ning Mingmei looked calm as he picked up the next glass: "This one is called Sprite. How about the "Xue" from Gui Ruoxue and the "Bi" from the green dress you wore when we first met? As for the wig, I just told you the taste requirements and you developed a completely similar taste. You are really a genius. Whether it's poison, medicine, or food. Now that the Qingyu Altar is gone, you can start from Piaomiao Peak and this bottle of Sprite and let the world see your creativity."
Gui Ruoxue: ...
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Gui Ruoxue said with her neck stiff, "Can this stump me?"
"Now Hu Yang and Wu Yun have already set up the mass production line. With the addition of the automated talismans from Fu Xiu, as a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage, you only need to remember to inject mana three times a day."
I really have to thank Ren Miao and Xue Zhu for this.
Ning Mingmei originally thought that Wu Yun would not be able to get into the work enthusiasm so quickly, and he had even prepared a set of words of speech. But he didn't expect that Ren Miao and Xue Zhu's academic enthusiasm was so high.
There was no need for Ning Mingmei to take action, as Wu Yun had already participated in the beverage production activities the next day. Not only that, Ning Mingmei also discovered that Xue Zhu seemed to have quickly discovered Wu Yun's heart knot.
Xuezhu said: "These drinks are good for the human body. Even if they are useless, they taste good. When I was a child, I was displaced and never had such a sweet taste. It turns out that the birth and death of flowers, plants and leaves can eventually turn into such beautiful things."
Then Wu Yun was deeply touched, and he started to work silently the next day.
Although he was not the direct executioner, the creation of the Dream of Hua Xu may still be a knot in Wu Yun's heart.
The good medicine used to cure diseases was eventually turned into a poison that sent an entire city of people to hell due to human greed.
When the system learned of this analysis, it said that it found it quite outrageous.
But Ning Mingmei was very calm: "When new technology is born, it is almost always used to profit for bad people first. Scientists discovered radium, and later watchmakers produced one 'radium girl' after another; scientists developed substances to study better pesticides, which were eventually used in gas chambers."
"From another perspective, this is also very simple. Who would invest money day after day in seemingly useless basic research? What you make must always be useful and profitable. If someone invests in you, you should first think about what he wants in return. This is the cold trading market."
"For those who want to 'make big money', there is a 'good' way to make money, which is war. War is like gambling, but many people like to take a small chance to win big."
"Things are always like this, there is no way around it... Therefore, when faced with a gift that falls from the sky, you should first be afraid for yourself."
The tone of Ning Mingmei's voice at that time startled the system.
Because Ning Mingmei didn't have any emotional fluctuations.
Not at all.
In addition, Fu Xiu, who also needed to write a library management system, felt a profound shock.
It is hard to imagine that this is the first automated assembly line for mass production of beverages in the world of immortal cultivation, and it was born in the back mountain of Piaomiao Peak.
Also, Gui Ruoxue didn’t recognize Xuezhu, and Xuezhu didn’t recognize Gui Ruoxue either. After all, Gui Ruoxue is not a popular star, and not everyone has seen what Gui Ruoxue looks like.
Gui Ruoxue knew Xue Zhu only from a commercial picture in which he was drawn into a shapeless form.
...But Ren Miao still had a childish heart and asked Ning Mingmei quietly.
Ren Miao: "Master, Master, Aunt Xue... is she a boy or a girl?"
Gui Ruoxue has now returned to men's clothing, which confuses Ren Miao.
Ning Mingmei: "Ms. Xue's gender is Miss Xue."
Ren Miao:?
Now I totally don't understand.
Without going into the details here, Ning Mingmei is very satisfied with the current results and is just waiting for the sports events to begin before he can take measures to cancel the sales.
Gui Ruoxue still folded her hands and looked at him: "What are these drinks for? Why are they made?"
Why?
Ning Mingmei first looked at Coke and Sprite.
What’s a sporting event without beverage sponsorship?
You know, happy drinks like Coke and Sprite, which are addictive for fat otakus, have always been major sponsors of sporting events!
Moreover, sponsorship fees are required for real-life sports events. Ning Mingmei’s Piaomiao Peak is the free Piaomiao Peak, and Ning Mingmei’s disciples are free disciples.
Meaning - they're free.
Ning Mingmei has already designed the scenes for his disciples to say these lines. Combined with other marketing methods, Ning Mingmei is confident that Coke and Sprite will become instant hits.
"A life without Coke is not a complete life."
"Without Coke, your life is not refined enough."
"Everyone in Qingji Sect is drinking something, but you in Yanyun Tower don't drink it? You're not an old-fashioned person, right?"
"If something is popular among the two best in the world, why don't you, the third, fifth, and tenth in the world, drink it?"
As for the Rainbow Bull, there is no need to mention it. Ning Mingmei also designed the scene.
Besides, the world of immortal cultivation does not prohibit the use of stimulants before, during, and after sports events. Isn’t this a godsend?
As for Old Platinum… that’s another story.
During the trip to Yaochuan, Ning Mingmei stockpiled enough tea for delivery for twenty years. But giving tea as gifts all the time is a bit monotonous.
Moreover, when Qi Miancheng was promoted before, Ning Mingmei went to serve tea again. Fang Wu Yu also took the opportunity to mock Ning Ming Mei, saying that he sent ten kilograms this time, so how many kilograms would Qi Mian Cheng need to send next time he ascends to heaven?
Therefore, Ning Mingmei thought of making old platinum.
Even the advertising slogan: I won’t accept any gifts this year, if I do, I’ll accept Melatonin.
When making old platinum, Ning Mingmei emphasized one point: this thing can be useful, but its usefulness must be limited.
Otherwise, how can we seize the opportunity and continue to develop new health products with different versions and subdivided directions?
The health care product market has just been opened, and we need to leave enough room for Qingji Sect’s disciples to progress and segment the market.
If a health product has all the functions, how can we launch a second, third, or fourth product to supplement the other functions?
Moreover, as long as health supplements don't kill you, it's fine. The best thing is, sometimes, if health supplements do have an effect, then there is a problem.
The Suanxin oral liquid can be sold to students preparing for examinations of major sects. Ning Mingmei is confident that this will be a good market.
Moreover, after the fairy world market is saturated, these useless health products can be dumped into the demon world. The demon world has been dead and silent for so many years, there must be many lonely elders.
At that time, we will use various small activities to pry open the hearts of the lonely supreme elders in the demon world, and then frantically tempt them to buy health products, or recharge money to buy health product cards.
Like a gym card, emptying their savings.
Thus the result of defeating the demons without fighting them can be achieved.
After reaching the pinnacle in the health care product industry, if the disciples have time, they can also start producing the universal elixir Isatis root granules, and move from health care products to traditional Chinese medicine.
Ning Mingmei only told Gui Ruoxue part of his idea. Unfortunately, even for this small part, Gui Ruoxue thought that Ning Mingmei was talking nonsense.
"Forget it." Gui Ruoxue shook her long hair behind her head a little irritably, "I can't figure out what you are doing... let's wait and see the results."
Ning Mingmei: "Okay, I'm leaving. I have something else to do at the peak."
Gui Ruoxue leaned back in her chair, her face turning pale. "Come to think of it, what have you been doing at the front recently? Ning Mingmei, you should be more patient when training your disciples. It will be even worse if you rush for quick results. You're hurting them all day long... I can hear their screams clearly from the back mountain."
Ning Mingmei: "What are you screaming about? We are rehearsing the Feng Song."
Gui Ruoxue:?
"What is that?"
Ning Mingmei didn't explain and walked away leisurely in his signature black robe.
Gui Ruoxue was furious for a while because he didn't get an explanation. After a while, he sat down.
He stared at the Sprite in front of him for a while, his face uncertain, until Hu Yang came in: "Brother Xue, can you come over and help me check the parameters here, are they set correctly?"
Hu Yang was also confused about Gui Ruoxue's gender. But he adopted a very clever approach - the human nature is to like compromise.
So Gui Ruoxue was called Aunt Xue. Huyang is naturally studious and always Googles things no matter what.
He only saw Gui Ruoxue staring at the liquid in the cup: "...What a crap thing."
After a while, Gui Ruoxue suddenly raised the glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Huyang stood at the door and dared not move. Gui Ruoxue always gave him a sense of danger. For example, at this moment, Gui Ruoxue turned her head and looked at him expressionlessly.
"Sprite is delicious. Give me another bottle." Gui Ruoxue said.
Sprite tastes really good.
…
Ning Mingmei was walking on the way back to the front mountain, unaware that Gui Ruoxue had become the first long-term loyal victim of Happy Water.
Ever since he learned that the sports event between Qingji Sect and Yanyun Tower... no, the Dao Discussion Competition was about to begin, Ning Mingmei began to think.
Now he had 47 million and was no longer penniless as before.
Ning Mingmei: "I am already a person with primitive accumulation, which is different from before. Therefore, this time I have to peel off a thick layer of oil skin from this competition!"
Otherwise, when will my Piaomiao Peak Natural Hot Spring Park Research Base be completed? …Shit, that hurts.
Ning Mingmei was shocked by the system again after a long time.
System: "The administrative building isn't even finished yet, but we're already starting the natural hot spring research base?"
Ning Mingmei pushed his glasses up: "It's all because Sikongtang gave me the preliminary budget yesterday. It's 27 million? 27 million for just two buildings? Why don't they just go and grab them?"
System: "Who told you to want so many facilities and interiors?!"
They want luxurious studios, luxurious offices, gyms, bars, restaurants...
The head of Sikong Hall only asked for 27 million, which means he basically didn't charge any labor costs.
Ning Mingmei: "I don't care. I asked them to come over in person to discuss the budget in detail. There must be room for maneuver."
Even if this is a planet made entirely of rock, Ning Mingmei can still drill out a string of oil from it.
System: ...There is no hope at all.
The system originally thought that Ning Mingmei would calm down after obtaining 47 million and be his cold and aloof master. But Ning Mingmei did not calm down. The taste is getting bigger and bigger.
"Can't you do something serious, the kind that Master does?"
Ning Mingmei said: "That's wrong. Without money, how can I be a master? How can I study?"
...Do you want money for academic purposes? You do it for your own enjoyment.
Ning Mingmei: "Besides, in my previous world, people retired at the age of 65, and their life after retirement was only 20 years, so the pension was only a little, which was understandable. But here is the world of immortal cultivation, and the life after retirement is endless, counting thousands or tens of thousands of years. If I die, things will be even more troublesome. Things are unpredictable, who knows if Qingji Sect will have money to pay me a pension by then? So, I just simply add a little basic living line and pension security for my future life."
System: "You are trying to save up enough high-quality pension for ten thousand years. You must be kidding me."
As we all know, the number of buildings can represent the academic level of the college. For Ning Mingmei, such a large area would require at least 50 buildings.
"So just selling drinks is not enough." Ning Mingmei said, "I want to make money in all aspects by taking advantage of the competition between Qingji Sect and Yanyun Tower."
System: "Do you still look like a master?"
The system still wanted to electrocute Ning Mingmei, but Ning Mingmei had already walked to the mountain gate, so it was forced to give up reluctantly.
The gate of Piaomiao Peak has been quite busy in recent days. But today is not so good.
Because Ning Mingmei had just finished a group meeting this morning. At this moment, there was panic in Piaomiao Peak, and every tree and grass looked like an enemy. Every disciple, because of a temporary awakening of conscience, was studying hard in the pine forest.
In particular, Ning Mingmei scolded them severely because of the poor performance of their Feng Ge rehearsal.
But today, several uninvited guests came to the mountain gate.
The leading woman was wearing white clothes and gold jewelry, and had an elegant temperament. She smiled at Ning Mingmei.
"Master Lu." Ning Mingmei bowed.
"I have been wanting to visit Master Ning these past few days, but unfortunately I have been too busy with work to be free. Today I am free, so I came here." Lu Mengqing said, "Master Ning, I have not yet thanked you on behalf of my disciples for the matter of Yaochuan City. Ming Ke emphasized this matter when he wrote to the building."
Ning Mingmei said: "It's a small matter."
Lu Mengqing smiled and said, "These are some small gifts. Please accept them, Master Ning. Our disciples are in Qingji Sect. We are really troublesome for Master Ning to take care of them."
Ning Mingmei said: "It's not a problem."
Of course it wasn’t a problem. After cheating the money, Ning Mingmei immediately went out on a business trip.
The owner of Yanyun Tower was indeed generous, and several large boxes were filled with rare treasures. Ning Mingmei called a few disciples and ordered them to carry the box away.
Wait until the host leaves before settling the accounts.
Lu Mengqing had no intention of leaving immediately, so Ning Mingmei invited her into the hall to chat.
Along the way, Lu Mengqing also praised: "Master Ning's peak is really..."
Ning Mingmei looked at the bare peak.
Lu Mengqing tried hard to find the words: "It has the temperament of a sword cultivator returning to nature."
…
Ning Mingmei pushed up his glasses and appreciated Lu Mengqing's praise.
"Speaking of which, they always go to Piaomiao Peak at night these days. I am actually a little curious." Lu Mengqing added, "Every time they come back, they look exhausted. I wonder if Peak Master Ning knows why?"
It turned out to be for this matter.
In consideration of Lu Mengqing's praise, why not let the disciples of Piaomiao Peak, who have just finished the group meeting and are full of energy, perform the songs composed by the disciples of Yanyun Tower for the head of Yanyun Tower?
The author has something to say:
Ning Mingmei said to Yanyun Tower: If both of us are number one in the world, we should not fight against each other. If both of us are number one in the world, we should fight together to become number three. There are four people who are third in the world. Since we are number one in the world, we should work together to make money from them. Whoever makes us more money will be recognized by us as the third best in the world.
Yanyunlou: Great.
