"What's wrong?" Qin Hu touched his face.
"You … You shaved off your beard?"
Meng Chao asked in disbelief. "You're even wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Even your skin has become smooth and fair. Did you go for plastic surgery?"
Qin Hu originally had a mighty beard, and he had been hunting monsters in the wild for years. Even if he had spirit energy nourishing him, it was inevitable that his skin would be rough. When he glared at him with his huge eyes, he looked like a tiger that had come down the mountain and was filled with murderous intent.
Ever since he lost his power and returned to Dragon City, he had rested for a few months. All sorts of gene medicine that provided great nourishment did not restore his cultivation realm. Instead, it made him fair and plump, and his skin was tender.
Besides, his aggressive beard was neatly trimmed, and there was also a hint of sincerity in his awe-inspiring manner. At first glance, people would think that he was trustworthy.
How should they put it? The current Qin Hu no longer looked like a hunter with all brawn and no muscles.
Instead, he looked like someone who could boast for three days and three nights without batting an eyelid, scam more than one hundred million from investors, and then abscond with the money.
"Big Sis Ya, take a closer look."
Meng Chao turned his head around and said to Lu Siya, "Is he really Qin Hu? Or did an abnormal beast invade his brain? Or is he an abnormal beast pretending to be him?"
Lu Siya removed her sunglasses and observed him carefully.
Qin Hu did not know whether he should laugh or cry. "Are you kidding me? I'm wearing glasses because after I lost my power, my eyeballs lost the nourishment from spirit energy, and my vision plummeted. I'm nearsighted now. My skin became fair because I no longer have to fight in the wild, and the Blue Origin Crystals nourish me. I cut my beard because I never liked beards. They're smelly and troublesome. Every time I eat, I have to pull them up. My wife doesn't want to be close to me, so if I have the chance, I have to shave them off!"
"Is that so?"
Meng Chao frowned. "Then why did you keep a beard for so many years?"
"I'm a hunter, so I have to create a mighty and domineering image. I have an awe-inspiring beard because it helps me get investments and sponsors. Besides, when I fight for prey in the wild, I can hold my ground!" Qin Hu said matter-of-factly.
"Then, how do you explain the Broken Star Club?"
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes. "If you're going to say something like 'making contributions' again, I'll have to treat you like an abnormal beast and suppress you. You're someone who won't wake up without benefits. You must have seen great benefits, which is why you're willing to invest so much, right?"
Qin Hu looked around. The toilet that had not been renovated did not even have a toilet. Naturally, there was no fourth person present.
He coughed dryly and dragged Meng Chao and Lu Siya to a corner. With a grin, he said, "Of course there are benefits. I can't believe it. Brother Meng, you personally formed the Broken Star Club, but you didn't see a huge business opportunity in it? He is still too young! "
"Cut the crap."
"We're friends who have gone through life and death together. You're also the second shareholder of Superstar, but if you dare use the name of the Broken Star Club to cheat the broken-star superhumans of their money, I won't forgive you!" Meng Chao said sternly.
"Brother Meng, even if you don't trust my character, at least believe in my appetite. How much money do broken-star superhumans have? Is it worth it for me to invest everything I have?"
Qin Hu laughed coldly. He lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Don't worry, I won't cheat the broken-star superhumans of their money. On the contrary, I really want to do a good job in the Broken Star Club. Even if I have to pay for it myself, I want to provide the best service to the broken-star superhumans so that they can feel at home and be happy.
"Of course, you're right. I can do deals that kill people, but I can't do deals that make me lose money. What I'm interested in is the market behind the broken-star superhumans."
Meng Chao and Lu Siya looked at each other.
Lu Siya asked with great interest, "What do you mean?"
"In the superhuman circle, the fighting power of broken-star superhumans is very weak. Even if one hundred broken-star superhumans charged at them, they won't be able to win against one Deity Realm superhuman. Besides, their cultivation speed is slow, their upper limit is low, they have few skills, and other reasons, so they've always been overlooked."
Qin Hu counted with his fingers and said excitedly, "But didn't you notice that broken-star superhumans have their own advantages?
"First, there are a lot of them.
"Deity Realm superhumans are definitely powerful, but how many Deity Realm superhumans are there in all of Dragon City? Even if one hundred broken-star superhumans can't win against one Deity Realm superhuman, what about one thousand? Ten thousand? One hundred thousand? "Of course, I'm not saying that broken-star superhumans should risk their lives against Deity Realm superhumans. I'm just saying this. Quantitative change can lead to qualitative change.
"Second, most broken-star superhumans come from poor families, just like me and you. This is easy to understand. If you came from a rich family like Ms. Lu, you would naturally have a lot of cultivation resources and guidance from famous teachers. You wouldn't have burned your spirit meridians and become a broken-star superhuman, right?
"This means that we share a common language with the large number of broken-star superhumans. We're on the same level, so it's easier for them to trust us and unite with us.
"Third, even though broken-star superhumans are neglected existences in the superhuman circle, when it comes to the people, grassroots communities, and units, they're usually capable people and pride in the eyes of their neighbors. They're also the backbones of the frontlines of their businesses.
"Let's use you as an example, Brother Meng. You're a two-star superhuman right now. That's nothing in the circle, but I remember that aside from you, there's only one broken-star superhuman in Blessed Heavenly Garden, right? Will the neighbors listen to the two of you? It's not very useful, right?"
Meng Chao nodded slowly and said with a contemplative expression, "They'll listen? Good? Makes sense.
"Most broken-star superhumans come from among the people. Since their cultivation realms aren't high, they usually don't leave the ranks of the people. Instead, they fight at the frontlines of various communities and grassroots units. You can say that they're the superhumans who come into contact with the most in the citizens' daily lives. They're also the superhumans who are trusted and needed the most."
"That's right!"
Qin Hu slapped his thigh. "Battle God Lei Zongchao is definitely invincible, but if the monsters really invade a community, it's impossible for Lei Zongchao to personally come and save the citizens. The people who rush to the frontlines are usually the superhumans in the community, and in normal residential areas, the people who appear the most are the broken-star superhumans.
"If a broken-star superhuman saves the community once every few days or is a backbone at the bottom level of a certain unit who often solves the practical problems of frontline workers, the neighbors and colleagues will have great trust in him. Isn't that logical?
"In other words, broken-star superhumans are the nerve endings and capillaries of the entire superhuman society. Behind each broken-star superhuman is a community, a unit, and the trust of thousands of people!"
Meng Chao thought about it for a while and agreed to Qin Hu's words. "So?"
"That's why broken-star superhumans have great selling power and bargaining power!"
Qin Hu waved his arms and spat. "For example, you worked together with Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu's son and created Surging Lightning. You even became its spokesperson, right?
"Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu is clearly a saber master. He's at the peak of Heaven Realm, and his fighting strength is much higher than yours. Why didn't he personally become its spokesperson and help his son?
"It's simple. It's because among the target customers of Surging Lightning, Luo Wu's appeal isn't as great as yours. The normal users don't think that the saber used by Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu is suitable for them!
"But can you obtain all the citizens' trust? That's impossible.
"The citizens of Blessed Heavenly Garden naturally treat you as their pride and hero, but the other communities might not do so. They have their own broken-star superhumans, their own pride, and heroes.
"Think about it. If we can make the Broken Star Club popular and attract all the broken-star superhumans in the city, we can eat, sing, get to know each other, get to know each other, and when we need to sell products like Surging Lightning, each broken-star superhuman can bring a Surging Lightning back to their community, unit, or army so that their neighbors, parents, colleagues, and comrades can personally experience it. Just how great of a sales ability would we need? As long as the product itself is passable, sales will definitely not be a problem, right?
"I'm not just talking about Surging Lightning. I'm talking about all the products related to cultivation. Of course, that includes Ripple Force and other martial arts. As long as the Broken Star Club becomes big enough, all the factories in Dragon City will cry and beg us to put their products in the Broken Star Club so that the broken-star superhumans can try them for free and then sell them to the citizens!
"At the same time, the price for one product and ten thousand products will definitely be different. If we can control the purchasing power of the millions of citizens behind the ten thousand broken-star superhumans through the Broken Star Club, we will definitely be able to get a group purchase price that is much lower than the market price.
"I'll use this as an example. If we order ten thousand Surging Lightning in the name of the Broken Star Club, will we still sell it at the market price? At the very least, we'll give them a 15% discount!
"To the broken-star superhumans and the citizens behind them, they'll be able to obtain real benefits, but to us, we'll also be able to control our profits. We'll be earning money with a clear conscience!
"Also, if you've been a superhuman for a long time, it's inevitable that you'll feel superior and not be down to earth. You won't understand the needs of normal users, especially those who come from rich families and are above Heaven Realm. Um, Ms. Lu, I'm not talking about you."
"It's fine."
Lu Siya smiled. "I think that what you said makes sense. Please continue."
"If even Ms. Lu thinks that it makes sense, then this deal is really promising!"
Qin Hu said excitedly. "Broken-star superhumans are the most down to earth. They understand the consumer needs and mentality of normal people the best. Through regular get-togethers and exchanging information, we can provide the freshest and most detailed data to the manufacturers. Right now, cultivation is also about data and information. Whoever has the most data will be the winner!"
"I kind of understand what you mean now," Meng Chao said excitedly.
"Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, and the broken-star superhumans know the hearts of the people in Dragon City the best. After all, we're the superhumans who are the closest to normal citizens. We're also the superhumans who have truly walked out of the ranks of normal citizens."
"That's right. More importantly, the purchasing power of broken-star superhumans is also very impressive," Qin Hu said.
"In the past, broken-star superhumans were ignored because their fighting strength wasn't high. Once many people understood their situation, they gave up on the thought of reaching higher realms. They were already satisfied if they could maintain their current fighting strength, so they naturally wouldn't buy more cultivation resources.
"But as the Ultimate Style appeared, the broken-star superhumans saw the possibility of increasing their fighting strength and reaching higher realms, so they naturally needed more cultivation resources.
"The major companies are limited by the stereotypes they have over the past few decades, so they haven't noticed this market yet.
"But we're the closest to them, so there's no reason for us not to control it!"
