Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 49 Uncle and nephew argue, attitude changes
"What a silver tongue, what a bunch of nonsense!"

In the "Spirit Beast House", facing Zhou Chun's impassioned speech, Zhou Jiasheng just sneered and said these eight words.

He looked at Zhou Chun with a sneer on his face and said in a cold voice: "You said that the cultivators in the market are discussing our behavior of clearly marking prices. This is indeed true, but even if we didn't clearly mark prices, wouldn't they discuss our Lingshouzhai?"

"Good wine needs no bush. Our Lingshouzhai, from its name to its main products, is unique in Hongyafang Market. We don't have to worry about no one knowing about it in the future!"

"In this case, isn't it redundant for you to use the price tag as a gimmick to attract people?"

"And this unnecessary thing, other than damaging the interests of the store and reducing its revenue, I can't see any other benefits!"

It is not difficult to see from these words that Zhou Jiasheng is indeed quite capable. At least he can clearly understand the appeal of the store's characteristics to people.

But his vision is undoubtedly still limited to the old business operation model. He only sees the small profits from price fluctuations and has no idea how important advertising is in increasing market share.

Therefore, facing his attack at this time, Zhou Chun also felt that he needed to wake him up.

He immediately said, "Uncle Sixteen, don't forget that there is another family that also has the secret recipes that our Zhou family has, and they even have some secret recipes that we don't even have!"

Of course Zhou Jiasheng knew who this was referring to.

His expression suddenly changed.

But he quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "So what? Now they don't have a store in the market. At least we are the only one selling those things here!"

"Yes, but Uncle Sixteen, do you think that with their power and strength, after seeing that the Li family and our Zhou family have opened shops in Hongyafang City one after another, how long will they delay on this matter?"

Zhou Chun said this without even looking at Zhou Jiasheng's changing expression, and said directly: "So precisely because of the existence of them as a potential competitor, we must let all the cultivators in Lanzhou know before they enter the market that when buying elixirs for spirit beasts, animal repellents, and insect repellents, they should choose our Spirit Beast House!"

"Uncle Sixteen, you said that good wine needs no bush. That's true. We want to build a good reputation. We want everyone to speak highly of our Lingshouzhai and believe that our products are the most practical and authentic!"

At this point, he also said generously: "If we want to achieve this, clearly marked prices may not be the only option, but it is definitely the fastest way to help us achieve this."

"Under such circumstances, what does it matter if we sacrifice the small profits of floating prices for the sake of long-term benefits in the future?"

When it comes to reason, perhaps the one who speaks more is not the one who is right.

But those who can make a long speech and make a point will definitely make the other party think deeply about what they say.

The premise is that the other party will reason with you and is a reasonable person.

Zhou Jiasheng is old, but he is not unreasonable.

So he also thought deeply about the meaning behind Zhou Chun's words, trying to find the fallacies in them.

But there were no obvious flaws in Zhou Chun's words, so he couldn't find any mistakes at once.

But he didn't want to admit defeat to a junior.

At the moment, he could only stiffen his neck and say, "Your so-called clear price tag now is just to attract people with a lower price. What if they also use lower prices to attract people after they enter the market?"

Zhou Chun couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this: "Using lower prices to attract people, don't they want to make money?"

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Jiasheng and asked, "And if they keep using low prices to attract people, doesn't that mean it's more realistic for us to clearly mark the prices now?"

Finally, he looked at Zhou Jiasheng meaningfully and said, "We are opening a store, not setting up a stall to do one-time business. The most important thing for a store is credibility and reputation."

"Now we clearly mark the price, so even if the buyer finds out that they can get it cheaper elsewhere, they can't blame us for cheating or calling us profiteers. On the contrary, it's hard to say!"

There was no way Zhou Jiasheng couldn't understand the profound meaning of these last words.

His face suddenly turned very ugly.

Because Zhou Chun's words were just short of pointing at his nose and calling him a profiteer!
But at this time, he couldn't refute Zhou Chun with his own theory that everything was for the family.

Because he first assumed that competitors would compete with Lingshouzhai at low prices. If the assumption was true, the high prices sold at opaque prices would inevitably damage the reputation of Lingshouzhai in the eyes of those customers, and they would no longer come here to shop in the future.

Seeing Zhou Jiasheng remain silent at this time, Zhou Chun also knew that he had nothing to say.

He immediately found a way out for him and said calmly, "Anyway, it was my nephew who suggested the price tag to the clan leader. If the store's profit is lower than expected because of this, the clan leader will definitely blame my nephew. Why don't you wait and see, Uncle Sixteen?"

"Well, then I'll see whether you are really intelligent or just talkative!"

Zhou Jiasheng glanced at Zhou Chun coldly, then turned and left the counter.

According to the rules of the market, each shop can have one or more permanent clerks depending on its size.

It seems that the Zhou family's "Lingshouzhai" has a total of three vacancies, including the shopkeeper.

These three people who belong to the shop can live in the market permanently, practice in the backyard of their own shop at any time, and enter and exit the market at will without paying any additional fees or accepting any tasks arranged by the market.

Therefore, Zhou Jiasheng and Zhou Chun usually take turns to look after the store.

However, because the store was newly opened, the shopkeeper Zhou Jiasheng was too concerned about the store's revenue. He would rather delay his training for a month and watch over the store every day.

Zhou Chun was also happy to see this happen and didn't care.

And just as Zhou Chun said, for the next half month, every day a large number of cultivators who had heard of the "Spirit Beast House" would come to visit after entering the market.

Even if most of these people are just looking, as long as one or two out of ten buy something, the accumulation of these small amounts can bring considerable revenue to the store.

Especially after half a month, when the monks who had initially purchased the secret recipe of animal repellent and anthelmintic medicine found that the two medicines were really effective, they all came back to repurchase them, and also encouraged many people who had been waiting to buy them.

As a result, sales in the second half of the month actually increased significantly.

When the store was open for one month, Zhou Jiasheng and Zhou Chun counted the sales for that month and found that the total sales reached 2,637 spirit coins, far exceeding the estimated amount of 2,000 spirit coins before the opening.

Now Zhou Jiasheng had nothing to say about the issue of clearly marked prices.

He may be a little stubborn, self-righteous, and take advantage of his seniority.

But he is not stupid.

In the face of real profits, how could he still stick to the original rules and regulations?

I just can't bring myself to apologize to Zhou Chun!
Of course Zhou Chun didn't need him to apologize, as long as he accepted it.

Moreover, Zhou Jiasheng is indeed very capable. He has carefully selected and purchased various spiritual objects in the past month, and he has not made any mistakes. Zhou Chun has also learned a lot from him.

"Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect that the store would be so profitable after only opening for a month. Moreover, even within the family, I have heard those casual cultivators talking about the existence of Lingshouzhai. It can be said that it is well-known!"

In the Spirit Beast House, Zhou Daoquan, the third elder of the Zhou family, who had rushed from the family to the market to replenish and purchase goods after a month, showed a look of surprise on his face after reading the account book and the spirit coins handed in. He was quite surprised by the result.

Facing Zhou Daoquan's praise, Zhou Jiasheng just said calmly: "The benefits are so good because the family's secret medicine is so effective. We dare not take credit for it."

Zhou Daoquan couldn't help but smile when he heard this and said, "Hey, whether you have made any contribution or not is up to the clan leader to judge, and I can't control that."

After that, he shook his head and said, "Anyway, I have brought all the goods that the clan leader asked me to bring, and I have also taken away the things you purchased here. You guys just keep working hard."

Then he left the market without saying anything more.

After seeing Zhou Daoquan off, Zhou Jiasheng glanced at Zhou Chun, who had remained silent the entire time, and suddenly said, "From now on, if someone comes to sell spiritual objects, you will be the first to assess the price. If you are unsure, then report to me for a decision."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately bowed and thanked him with a smile on his face, saying, "Thank you for your cultivation, Uncle Sixteen. I will work hard to learn from you."
