Chapter 93: Cigarettes on the shelves
Everyone smoked their cigarettes and gave their opinions one by one.

What an insult to female cultivators.

What has been exploiting the sects and forces that cooperate with them?

What price is more expensive than the Wansan shop?

Most people think that it is because their person in charge made insulting remarks about women that the nine major shops have become the ones being condemned by everyone today.

"What you said makes sense, but it's missing the most important point."

"Oh?"

“You lack market competitiveness.”

“Competitiveness?”

"To be frank, the existence of your nine shops is no longer meaningful. The cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Realm no longer need you. Without the support of the common cultivators, your downfall is a natural outcome."

After saying this, Jiang Chen spread his hands and shrugged.

"If you think there's something wrong with what I said, you can refute it."

Is our existence meaningless?
These people, who once caused the business of Tianyao Territory to tremble with a stomp of their feet, are now all confused.

In other words.

What is the significance of the existence of their nine shops?
Previously, relying on the monopoly and the reputation of the nine major shops in the Spiritual Continent, they could make a lot of money just by doing reselling.

What else do they do?
Yes, they have some industries of their own, but that is just icing on the cake because their industries can be replaced almost at any time.

Other companies also have industries such as alchemy and refining, and they are more professional than theirs.

"Boss Jiang, please explain clearly what this core competitiveness is. We are all old and can't keep up with the thinking of young people like you."

"Oh, our Wansan shop can sell mobile phones, can you?"

Ah this
"But mobile phones will eventually become widespread, right?"

"We also have milk tea. Have you tried it? Oh, milk tea can't be purchased online, so you haven't tried it. Black Swan and the rest of the products will be sold in our Wansan store. Do you have any in your Jiuda store? Or do you have anything in your Jiuda store that our Wansan store doesn't have?"

That's it!

Everyone suddenly realized that the so-called core competitiveness is something that they have but others do not!

If the nine major stores have something that cannot be replaced by others, even if insulting remarks about women are published, there will definitely be someone who will pay for it!

"So, when Boss Jiang asked us to join, he meant that he wanted to distribute the mobile phones to our nine stores?"

"Yes and no. I can sell it to you, but you have to change the name of your shop. You can't use the old name of the nine shops."

"Why?"

"This is a black mark! Who told you to post insulting comments about women? If you don't change your name, people will think of your old Southern Fist fights when they see you. Will they be able to put down their heads?"

"Then us"

"Don't interrupt me, let me tell you about my plan to whitewash you first."

"We are all willing to listen!"

"First step, let's go first."

According to Jiang Chen's meaning.

The nine major stores should first issue an apology statement, instead of constantly emphasizing that those insulting remarks about women were not made by them, which will only make people more indignant.

Secondly, after deeply realizing his mistake, he paid out of his own pocket to import a large number of goods from Wansan Shop and was willing to sell them at a low price.

Limited to three days!

Finally, we must strongly support female practitioners and express that we will design products focusing on female practitioners in the future.

"hiss"

"I understand everything else, but the final strong support for female cultivators, isn't it unnecessary?"

"I feel the same way. I always feel that this will make male cultivators dissatisfied and disgusted."

"In fact, we who are in business all know that the biggest profits from weapons, equipment, magic tools, materials, elixirs, etc. still come from male cultivators."

Yo?
Jiang Chen couldn't help but look up to them. He had to admit, they had some brains, but not much.

"Oh, don't worry. As a man, this little grievance is nothing. Besides, have you seen anyone practicing Southern Fist on Douyin? Or have any male cultivators complained about being treated unfairly?"

Everyone shook their heads, saying they had never seen a male cultivator post about boxing.

"That's it, isn't it? So we should first appease the female cultivators. It doesn't matter to the male cultivators. Later on, the male cultivators' spending power might not be as good as the spiritual pet market. Let them be."

"But."

"But what buts? We are partners now. I will make money only if you make money. How can I cheat you?"

Jiang Chen promised him great profits.

He said he could give each of them 10 million mobile phones free of charge, so as to open up the market at a low price and make up for the stupid things he had done before.

In addition, other industries such as milk tea can gradually move into their shops.

As for profit?

Jiang Chen was very generous and only wanted 10% of their net profit after deducting all costs.

Only 10%?!

And what they’re taking isn’t turnover, it’s pure profit?!

I thought Jiang Chen would treat them like slaves and suppress them, but I didn’t expect him to be so generous!

This is so conscientious!

"Boss Jiang is so wise!" "This is the vision of a big boss!"

"I think it's okay!"

"I have no objection!"

"Hahaha, let's sign the contract quickly!"

"Boss Jiang, we are gentlemen, our words are as good as gold. Please don't go back on your word!"

Ten million copies!
Mainly, it’s completely free, right?

Even if you only sell one spirit stone, you can still make a profit!
"But Boss Jiang, what's your purpose in doing this? It's a pure loss-making business? It doesn't seem to benefit you at all, does it?"

Jiang Chen smiled brightly, his face full of sincerity and he didn't seem to be lying at all.

"Of course it's for the benefit of the world of immortal cultivation, for the peace of the Spiritual Continent! Otherwise, how could I possibly bring disaster to the world of immortal cultivation?"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. How could that be possible?
"Absolutely impossible!"

"We have been watching everything Boss Jiang has done. Every single one of them has benefited the monks!"

"Yes, now he's repaying kindness with kindness, setting aside past grudges and saving our nine shops from dire straits!"

"What nonsense is Boss Zhang talking about? What about the nine major shops?"

"Hahaha, look at my head, stupid, stupid! Right now, we'll change the name and stop calling ourselves the Nine Great Shops. From now on, we'll follow Boss Jiang's lead!"

"Come on, let's raise our glasses and celebrate this wonderful moment!"

"This contract?"

Everyone took a few glances with their spiritual sense, paying special attention to the regulations related to profits, and there was no problem at all!

Everyone signed the contract readily using their spiritual sense.

I didn't notice at all that there were a few lines of very, very small words in it.

[Nine major shops cannot refuse any goods provided by Wansan Shop, and have the right to reasonably set prices for all goods]

[Wansan stores can designate personnel to reasonably enter the internal management of the nine stores, and the proportion shall not exceed 50% of the management]

[Wansan Shop has full control over the land of the nine shops, but cannot sell it at will]

[The right to interpret all the above regulations belongs to Wansan Shop exclusively]

Jiang Chen smiled.

Drink it!
Drink more~
"Cigarettes on the shelf?"

Huang Wansan scratched his head, feeling that this move was a bit too hasty.

"The future of cigarettes is very broad. I think we should hold off for a while, or release some pre-launch videos. At the very least, we should get a big streamer like the Nine-Tailed Fox King to endorse us, right?"

Jiang Chen shook his head and rejected Huang Wansan's suggestion.

"Forget it. Cigarettes are different from other things. Publicizing them too loudly might attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao. Don't worry, good wine needs no bush, and cigarettes will definitely sell well."

"That's true"

Huang Wansan nodded in agreement. Apart from anything else, he himself felt weak and bored if he didn't smoke a pack or two a day. Nothing he did was interesting.

He just wanted to quickly open up the market through Douyin marketing.

Since the Demon Lord said that cigarettes cannot be marketed, he naturally had no objection.

"What about pricing?"

"We are launching three models, and one that is not available for direct sales."

"Ordinary Ruike model, priced at 5 spirit stones."

"High-grade Tianjiao model, priced at 50 spirit stones."

"Luxury and genuine model, priced at 500 spirit stones."

"The last one is the special edition True Dragon model, which will not be sold directly to the public for the time being."

Is the pricing so different?
The ordinary model is fine, and it is obviously aimed at the vast number of poor cultivators in the Spiritual Continent.

But the huge price difference still made Huang Wansan couldn't help but ask what the difference was between them?
"If I remember correctly, it seems that we only grow one kind of tobacco in the Shiwan Mountains, right?"

Jiang Chen glared at him and said immediately.

"Of course there is a difference, it's huge!"

"This regular version uses leaves from the root section, this premium version uses the middle section, the luxury version naturally uses the top section, and this special edition only uses the very tip."

"Tell me, is this a big difference?"

Huang Wansan:
and so.

All in all, these three cigarettes with a hundred times difference in price are essentially the same, right?

Huang Wansan still didn't believe it and smoked a few of each.

Don't say it.

Is there really a big difference in the taste?

The regular version is powerful and aggressive, while the special edition has more integration.

But he still licked his teeth when he looked at the pricing plan.

"Boss, a pack of genuine goods for 500 spirit stones, I'm afraid even a fusion-stage old monster would feel the pinch, right? The premium is really a bit..."
