After listening to Qin Xiao's analysis, Lan Lingsheng and the other four nodded repeatedly in agreement.
They were suddenly enlightened and understood some of the principles behind it.
The way of doing business was indeed not that simple.
Qin Xiao had accumulated some of these through his own experience. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known that there was such a complicated situation. If he didn't understand these things, he would definitely make a fool out of himself.
He would be chased out of the door like a fool.
"City Lord, what price should we quote?" Lan Lingsheng asked.
Qin Xiao said, "One Chaos Source Rock for two pots. If the quantity is large, we can even give a 20% to 10% discount. We can't go any lower. Let's hold on to this bottom line for now. "
"The Wine Clan's brewing speed isn't fast, and the output isn't high. Wine is an industry with small profits, so if we can't hold on to this bottom line, we won't be able to earn Chaos Source Rocks. "
"The Wine Clan's production cost is low because their brewing techniques are superb. It doesn't mean that the wine should be so cheap."
"Ah, one Chaos Source Rock for two pots? Isn't the price a little too low? "Lan Lingsheng asked in surprise.
It did sound very low.
Wine that could be compared to 10 Chaos Source Rocks for a pot in a restaurant was sold for half a Chaos Source Rock, which was equivalent to one-twentieth of the price. It was indeed hard to understand.
However, that was the truth. This was business, a business that was as deep as the sea.
Qin Xiao said, "That's about it. Let's leave it at that. Just wait and see. Even the shopkeeper can't give us this price. That's why I said we have to hold on to this bottom line. If it's too low, we'd rather not sell it. "
"We're not in a hurry anyway. We have to walk this path slowly."
No way, right?
One Chaos Source Rock for two pots was already such a low price.
Lan Lingsheng and the other four didn't quite believe it. Or rather, they found it hard to understand.
They could clearly see the huge profits, but they were still unwilling. That didn't make sense, right? Weren't businessmen all greedy? Wouldn't it be enough as long as they were given enough profits?
Qin Xiao called the waiter over and said to him, "Could I trouble you to invite your shopkeeper over?"
When the waiter heard that Qin Xiao wanted to invite the shopkeeper, he panicked a little. He hurriedly and carefully said, "Sir, I have neglected you. If there is anything that you are dissatisfied with, please feel free to reprimand me. Oh, for a little thing like this?
Is there a need to alarm our shopkeeper? "
Qin Xiao shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Second Brother. It has nothing to do with you. I have something to ask your shopkeeper, so please come with me."
"Well …" The waiter didn't know what to do. The shopkeeper had a high position and was in charge of this huge restaurant. He was usually very busy.
How could an ordinary person be qualified to meet the shopkeeper?
Although the restaurant was open for business, the customers were the most important. However, the shopkeeper's identity was a little special after all. Naturally, not everyone could meet him just because they wanted to.
The waiter looked at Qin Xiao and the others. He naturally had good eyesight. He could see that Qin Xiao was a fourth-step Celestial Venerable. The five followers he brought were also third-step Celestial Venerables. With such a group of people, it seemed that this person should have some background.
Although he looked very unfamiliar, he guessed that he had just come to Shangyong City or was just passing by.
However, it was best not to offend a Superior Immortal.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons in his heart, the waiter still said, "Okay, Superior Immortal. I will go and inform the shopkeeper. However, our shopkeeper is quite busy, so I am not very confident that I can invite the shopkeeper over.
I hope Superior Immortal won't blame me. "
"Okay, just say that you have something important to discuss." Qin Xiao nodded to the waiter.
After a long while, the waiter brought over a well-dressed, middle-aged man with a potbellied appearance.
The round face always maintained a slight smile. This seemed to have become an instinct.
It was a fake smile, but it wasn't a real smile, so it gave people a strange feeling. It was a little fake.
The atmosphere was restrained very well. Although he was a fourth-step Celestial Venerable, he did not give people the slightest sense of oppression. Since it was a first-step Celestial Venerable standing in front of him, he probably would not feel uncomfortable.
However, Qin Xiao could sense that the shopkeeper's aura was very powerful. He was definitely a powerful fourth-step Celestial Venerable.
Shangyong City was indeed Shangyong City. The shopkeeper of a restaurant was actually a very powerful fourth-step Celestial Venerable. No one knew what kind of power was behind this restaurant.
Qin Xiao immediately felt that this kind of person was a cunning old fox who was not easy to deal with.
It seemed that he had not chosen a good restaurant at random. Qin Xiao had a bad premonition when he saw the shopkeeper.
However, since he was here, he naturally had to discuss it.
The shopkeeper swept his gaze over Qin Xiao's group of six without batting an eyelid. Naturally, he ignored Lan Lingsheng's group of five. The five of them were only ordinary third-step Heavenly Venerables.
A third-step Celestial Venerable might have some reputation in a small place, but in a big city like Shangyong City, they were nothing.
There were a lot of them on the streets. They were not worth anything at all.
The shopkeeper's gaze lingered on Qin Xiao for a moment, and a hint of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes.
It was not because Qin Xiao was a fourth-step Celestial Venerable. Fourth-step Celestial Venerables were too common in Shangyong City. Fourth-step Celestial Venerables probably came to the Immortal Restaurant every day to drink.
It was because Qin Xiao had lived for too short a time. In a short 20 to 30 million years, he had become a fourth-step Celestial Venerable. He was definitely a peerless genius.
Therefore, the shopkeeper naturally viewed Qin Xiao in a new light.
Originally, Qin Xiao had wanted to conceal his aura. However, in order to discuss business with the shopkeeper, he did not deliberately conceal his aura and pretended to be a third-step Celestial Venerable.
"May I know why you are looking for me, Exalted Immortal? I don't think you are here to do business. Is it because you don't want to drink my restaurant's wine? "the shopkeeper asked.
Qin Xiao cupped his fists at the shopkeeper and said, "Please don't misunderstand. There is naturally no problem with your restaurant's wine. They are all very good.
However, I would like to invite the shopkeeper to have a taste of this wine. I wonder if the shopkeeper would be willing to do me the honor? "
As he said that, Qin Xiao personally handed a large cup of wine to the shopkeeper. This was the wine they had brought.
The shopkeeper glanced at Qin Xiao and then at the wine that Qin Xiao handed over. The corners of his mouth curled into a strange smile.
With the eyesight of an experienced man, how could he not know what Qin Xiao wanted to do?
Therefore, the shopkeeper did not accept Qin Xiao's wine. Instead, he said, "Exalted Immortal, I thought you didn't look like you were here to do business. I didn't expect you to really come here to do business. However, your way of doing business is very special.
Well, you are courageous. "
"Your Excellency's courage is admirable, but our restaurant doesn't need wine."
"We have too much wine in our restaurant. What I often worry about is how to reduce the amount of wine we drink. However, there is no other way. Many of them are old business partners. It is not good to kick them out. "
"Therefore, we can only share the rain and dew. Looking at the wine, I feel a little headache. "
"The Exalted Immortal Pavilion came here to promote wine. Forgive me for not being able to continue the discussion with you."
"If you want to continue drinking, then please continue. If you are done, please leave. "
"I still have something important to do. I won't accompany you. Goodbye!"
After saying that, the shopkeeper was about to leave directly. He didn't even give Qin Xiao and the others a chance at all.
Seeing this scene, Lan Lingsheng and the others were a little dumbfounded. Was it such a bad start? He didn't even give them a chance. Wasn't this too much of a blow?
"Okay, if that's the case, then I won't disturb you anymore. However, before I leave, I would like to invite you to have a drink. Shopkeeper, you are not so unapproachable, are you? "
"You see, I have already prepared this wine. It's not good to take it back, right?"
"Just drink this cup, and I will leave without saying anything. How about it?"
Qin Xiao seemed to have expected such an ending, so he was not surprised at all. Instead, he said another sentence with a faint smile.
People who opened businesses were very tactful. No matter what kind of people they were, they basically wouldn't offend anyone if they could.
Since Qin Xiao had already said this, the shopkeeper stopped in his tracks. He took the cup, tilted his head back, and drank the wine in the cup. Then, he casually returned the cup to Qin Xiao.
As expected, Qin Xiao didn't say anything and left with Lan Lingsheng and the others.
After sending Qin Xiao and the others off, the shopkeeper smacked his lips. "This person is quite interesting. His wine is not bad. It's not inferior to wine that costs ten Chaos Source Rocks for a jug."
"Although it's not the best wine, it's one of the most popular wines in the market."
However, the shopkeeper didn't think too much about it and continued to busy himself with his matters.
Just as Qin Xiao said, they didn't lack wine at all. Therefore, no matter how good the wine was, it didn't matter to the restaurant.
The longer the restaurant was open, the more perfect its supply chain would be. It would be too difficult to squeeze in again.
After leaving the restaurant, Lan Lingsheng said somewhat indignantly, "City Lord, isn't this shopkeeper too arrogant? He didn't even give us a chance. "
"If everyone is like this, then how are we going to sell our wine? He's not forcing us to set up street stalls, right? "
"Ahem, why do I feel that setting up street stalls will be much more profitable than this?" Shi Kou said.
Lan Lingsheng nodded and said, "That's right. If we set up street stalls, I think it'll be easy to sell it for two Chaos Source Rocks per jug."
"Easy to sell?" Qin Xiao shook his head and laughed. "You guys are really oversimplifying things."
"Ten Chaos Source Rocks is the price in the restaurant. How can it be so expensive outside? This kind of wine can probably only be sold for two Chaos Source Rocks per jug outside. "
"Moreover, most people who like to buy loose wine for themselves won't buy wine that's too expensive. For example, if you sell wine that costs one Chaos Source Rock per jug outside, you can probably buy ten jugs with one Chaos Source Rock. "
"Besides, there are cheaper wines out there. You can buy 500 kilograms of wine with a piece of Chaos Source Stone. There are definitely plenty of them."
"Our wine is actually not bad. The cost of production is also higher, so it will be more expensive to sell."
"It's very difficult to sell this kind of wine at street stalls. If you want to make a better profit, you can only sell it to places like restaurants. It's more difficult to sell it to other places. "
"Of course, there's another place, which is a big trading company. If it's a trading company, they will make more and more comprehensive products. Wine will definitely be a must. However, if it's a trading company, the demand will be very large. Therefore, a small workshop like ours will have to do.
Therefore, it's almost impossible to find a trading company to cooperate with us. "
"Overall, the most promising thing for us is to sell the wine to the restaurant."
"There's a certain advantage in selling our wine to restaurants. This is because the wine's quality is certain and it's not expensive. It's in the range of the highest sales volume. "
