07096-Reference ideas

"Understood, it's clearly written in the instruction manual."

Me: "I'm very relieved that some people have read the instructions anyway."

"It is better to emphasize these key instructions again."

Me: "I think every sentence of the manual I wrote is crucial."

"Are you so embarrassed to say so? Are the instructions for each of these gadgets so thick?"

Me: "In principle, I will not prevent monks from buying these cat supplies, but if you buy them and vent your dissatisfaction with me because you dislike their fragility, you should know that I will ignore you, right? Don't give me any suggestions for improvement." , This is not a magic weapon. Anyone who wants to make an opinion should go to understand all the popular pet products in the mortal world in recent years before speaking."

"We bought it specifically to study nested magic circles. You exchange the lifespan of the magic weapon for the reduction in energy supply demand. The idea is very interesting. The key is that it is actually done in batches. Of course, since it has just started to be sold in large quantities, this mass-produced Whether the stability is high enough or not, we have to wait for the first batch of binders to die before we can calculate effective data, but anyway, it can be used as a reference.”

"It's not easy to increase the durability of the magic weapon, but it's also not easy to reduce the durability in a controllable way."

Medicine Sect Chu Wuliu chatted with me privately and asked, "Did your controllable reduction refer to my broken pill idea?"

Me: "It should be, but it's hard for me to specifically explain which part of your practice has been transferred to my cat product refining."

Chu Wuliu: "It didn't directly imitate the technology, but internalized the idea and turned it into your own practice. From the perspective of the superficial practice, it may have nothing to do with mine."

Me: "Qi Zongping Youping has come to make cat products with me. Do you want to come too? There are simple healing functions in the cat space, and now basically use physical means - such as heat preservation, cooling, massage, etc. - to come Treatment, if you participate, you will be able to add more systematic medicines."

Me: "It's not a elixir that contains spiritual power, it's a mortal-level medicine refined from mortal-level materials without adding spiritual power. If you think such a rudimentary refining can give you some inspiration for cultivation, why don't you come and play with me?"

After a while, Chu Wuliu replied to me: "Alright. I'm familiar with the various combinations of the medicinal properties of primary materials. But I just joined now, and the cat space you sold before cannot be added with the function of medical treatment."

Me: "Just change the price for the ones that will be added later. I said at the beginning that the sold products do not care about after-sales, and I also said that during the sales process, follow-up products may be continuously modified based on buyer feedback."

Me: "After you make the medicine, you can tell me the raw materials and the refining process. You can also sell the finished product if you want. If you only sell the finished product, the main income will belong to you, and I will charge a certain store fee; if it is shared Give me the refining process, and I will share the sales proceeds with you as a technical participation fee."

Chu Wuliu: "Okay."

07097-Comprehensive application of basic technologies

While inviting new partners, I explained the price details to the public: "There is nothing to say about the raw materials. They are all purchased in the mortal world, and the suppliers are also listed. The focus is on technology. The first part is the general technology of the mortal world. You use keywords to search papers and patents, there are a lot of them, if you are interested, you can read them slowly; the latter part is the magic circle, and it is also the key to making my products different from pet products in the mortal world."

Me: "The main functions of the magic circle are as follows: one is to change the required energy, and to use a small amount of aura to add a large amount of electric energy to the function that originally needs to use aura; the other is to combine different technologies and simplify them. The connection complexity between.

Me: "Before some netizens wondered why the size of the service robot can achieve so many functions. Even if it contains a storage space so that it can hold tools much larger than its volume, the balance and vibration reduction when changing and using different tools Such basic parameters must be realized as a whole, and a certain part cannot be disassembled and put into the storage space for a while, and then reinstalled after a while. Frequent disassembly and assembly will cause excessive wear and other problems, resulting in the service robot without self-repair function and no after-sales maintenance. circumstances, it is unlikely to last the lifetime of a mortal.”

Me: "The solution to these problems that do not conform to the logic of ordinary people's technology depends on the magic circle. The variable parts of the machine that cannot be balanced are balanced by the magic circle, and some vibrations are also eliminated indiscriminately by the magic circle. These magic circles are the service robots that must use aura part, and as I said before, I converted the aura consumption into electricity consumption as much as possible."

Me: "These magic circles are listed in the table. In fact, they are all basic magic circles. People who have read the textbooks on array cultivation or instrument cultivation and talisman cultivation should find many familiar patterns. I try to convert the use of these magic circles into Power consumption, but drawing, at this stage, I have not found a way to reduce the amount of spiritual power used. After all, they are all basic magic circles, which have been studied very thoroughly and are almost optimized to the extreme. Anyway, I am unable to further simplify them now.”

Me: "In other words, even if I send out the detailed formation diagram, mortals can't reproduce it. Cultivators can reproduce this part, but they may not be able to reproduce the part of mortal technology. Even if there are a lot of public information, but Whether a monk who can't even pass the college entrance examination can understand it is really a big problem, let alone practice it."

Me: "It's not difficult to use spiritual power to achieve similar functions, but if you want to completely reproduce all the functions of my product, without using mortal technology and purely relying on refining ideas, the cost may not be able to compete with me. Even if you refine Stronger...Of course you can sell it to rich people, but that's not my target customer group this time. We can each make money."

07098-Cost-effective

Me: "Anyway, fellow daoists who are interested in imitating, you can figure it out for yourself. Daoists who borrow my fame or imitate my methods to make a profit, I won't remind you repeatedly what to do, wait I will contact you when you are unconscious."

Me: "Okay, is there anything else you don't understand about the price explanation?"

"...Although I don't understand all the technologies, I already know where to find detailed information, but I still don't understand how each technology corresponds to the price. Is the price determined according to the difficulty of the technology?"

Me: "The technology of the mortal world refers to the technical difficulty and the pricing of the mortal world products using similar technologies; the magic circle refers to the pricing of the products when similar functions are realized in the mortal world products."

Me: "I always refer to the price of the mass model. For example, the brushing function is a reference to this handheld automatic brusher."

Me: "The pricing of this batch of cat supplies is divided into two parts. One is raw materials, which should be agreed by everyone, and the other is functions. The price will be added as many functions are realized. The methods I choose to realize functions are different. It is as cheap as possible, and someone who checks it will find that when it comes to patents in the mortal world, I have chosen to pass the protection period, that is, I do not need to pay patent royalties. This is not difficult to avoid, after all, it is also Simple functionality, not much new technology involved.”

Me: "There are many new technologies in intelligence, but I deal with this part with magic circles. This level of intelligence is still an old technology in terms of the effects of magic circles."

Me: "I have compared carefully, and the cat products on the market that can achieve the same type and level of functions are all more expensive than mine. The ones that are cheaper than mine either do not have as many functions as mine, or the degree of function realization is not as good as mine. Mine is strong."

"... So you are focusing on cost performance this time?"

Me: "Yeah. You just found out?"

"...I'm sorry. I was blinded by the brilliance of your young master Lingshi."

Me: "You should be aware of this when I mentioned 'sacrificing the lifespan of magical instruments to change the type of energy used' many times. Obviously, this roundabout change is not conducive to the use of monks, and it will increase the structural design. Complexity, its only advantage is to reduce the cost of subsequent energy supply."

07099-Positioning

"Actually, although you have indeed lowered the cost and subsequent use fees as much as possible, it may not be suitable to be called 'high cost performance'. High cost performance means that the price and function have reached a compromise, and you do not pursue the ultimate function, nor do you pursue The ultimate low price, but to control the price within the acceptable range of ordinary people, appropriately reduce and weaken some functions, so that it is usable and not expensive. Your batch of products is still expensive, and the functions are more pursuit of extremes. "

"You get what you pay for, and you get what you pay for. When the excellence of the function exceeds a certain limit, it usually takes several times the price to be more optimized. That has crossed the range of pursuing cost performance. "

"Pei Shao, your products still have to be classified as luxury goods. They can only be said to be useful luxury goods. Take this baby bottle as an example. I don't think it's too much trouble to manually change the fresh water for my cat every day. You don't need to use a fresh-keeping bottle. Functional storage space."

Me: "The main reason is that you are not rich enough, otherwise you would be more willing to spend money to reduce your labor."

"If we are so rich that we don't need to look at the price tag when we buy things, we can directly hire a dedicated caretaker for our pets without our labor, and we don't even need to carry a bracelet with us for cat supplies."

"Mr. Pei, are you sure you have no problem with your customer positioning? Poor people can't afford your products, and rich people think these products are tasteless and prefer to ask for complete magical artifacts. The only customer base you can have is us, who are at the same level. these people."

Me: "Looking at the number of orders today, I think there is nothing wrong with my product positioning. If I find that the follow-up is weak after a few months, I can continue to modify the performance of the product and change the price. I have ideas for high-end and low-end changes, but I think I still prefer the current level. Going to the high end will show off skills with little meaning, and going to the low end is a bit too suppressed. Both are not enjoyable, and maybe I will close the store directly .”

"It took almost a year to set the rules. You closed the store after a few months? Are you worthy of so many people working overtime?"

Me: "I didn't cause overtime. I never urged the relevant departments. It is you people who are in a hurry to buy goods who keep urging you. You are the root cause of their overtime. I could have become a daily routine for them. Work, it takes three to fifty years to straighten it out slowly. At the peak of Jindan, I am still afraid that ordinary people will be inefficient?"

Me: "There are actually a lot of things for monks to set up shop in the mortal world. In the past, the mortal world basically only got the Qi training period and a little restraint on the foundation building period. When facing the golden elixir stage, they can only let it go. Now I provide the mortal world official one for the golden elixir." Do you think the officials of the mortal world are not happy about the opportunity for merchants to set rules? Do you have any idea how expensive the golden core is at its peak when I cooperate with the rules?"
