One must know that the Profound Sky Continent was also a place where relationships were valued. As one of the earliest batch of veteran mercenaries, the treatment that Mad Lion gave Monkey would naturally not be low.
After all, Monkey's cultivation was at the Martial Ancestor Realm. In front of Mad Lion and the other big shots, he wasn't that important. However, there weren't many Martial Emperors or Martial Kings in the mercenary group.
The next level with the most people was the Wuzong Realm. There were also many Martial General Realm cultivators.
As for Martial Master Realm cultivators, Mad Lion did not have any. Don't ask why, they walked the path of the elite. Only Martial General Realm cultivators could enter.
However, Mo Tiankong sized up Monkey for a while. He was full of mental power and his cultivation was close to the peak of the Wuzong Realm. He was not far from breaking through to the Martial King Realm.
As an early customer of the shop and a loyal customer of the Thousand Island Lake Beer, he naturally had enough mental power after drinking it for so long.
On the contrary, it took him some time to accumulate his cultivation.
This time, he went straight for Maotai. He must have been a mercenary for many years and had some internal injuries. He cleaned up his body and adjusted his condition to break through to the Martial King Realm.
Furthermore, Maotai was a liquor. Otherwise, this old man would not be so generous.
Although Maotai was the cheapest of the three items on the shelf, it was still priced at 30,000 Spirit Stones.
Even if Monkey had saved up some Spirit Stones over the years, it should not be a lot. He was already restraining himself by not coming here to buy Thousand Island Lake Beer every day.
"Why, are you the only one here today? Where's Kuang Tie and Li Qing? I haven't seen them in a while."
Seeing Monkey's pained expression, Mo Tiankong casually asked.
"Hehe, I think they're at the back. I came here after reading the post."
Monkey scratched his head and said with a smile.
Mo Tiankong immediately understood. This guy must have rushed over here alone in a hurry.
He came for the Maotai.
They were indeed a bunch of drunkards.
After watching Monkey leave the shop, Mo Tiankong continued to register.
There were still many cultivators in the dissection hall. After all, there was an endless stream of cultivators entering through the door.
The three new items on display were undoubtedly the main characters of the store, attracting the attention of many cultivators who entered the store. However, for some trading companies, the half-price discounts on the other items in the store were the real benefits.
Half-price or discount events were rare in the store. After all, it would be harder and harder to meet the sales target as time went by.
That was one of the reasons. Secondly, even if there was a half-price event, it wouldn't last longer than the New Year's event.
Therefore, in the past few days, these trading companies had been purchasing in large quantities.
Mo Tiankong felt that the System's intention was to take advantage of the year-end sales to attract a large number of companies. However, such activities could not be done in large quantities.
After all, the System needed to earn Spirit Stones, so once a year was very reasonable.
"Sigh, Store Manager Mo, you should have at least promoted the store a little earlier. Didn't you make another trip?"
The person in front of the cashier muttered.
Mo Tiankong looked at the fatty in front of him and searched his memory. It was the manager of a trading company from the Great Wan Empire that had finished purchasing yesterday.
He had just purchased a large number of items from the store yesterday. He didn't expect Mo Tiankong to announce a New Year's event at night, with a half-price discount and so on. He had no choice but to urgently transfer a batch of existing Spirit Stones that night and personally come this morning.
Not to mention the new items on display, just the half-price event alone was enough to make anyone who had some surplus food to come.
With the appearance of the teleportation array and the teleportation light door, the market had basically stabilized. Although they could earn some money by reselling the store's items, it was definitely not a lot.
However, there was one advantage to reselling the store's items. It was guaranteed to be sold, and there was no need to keep it in one's hands.
The reputation of the grocery store had already spread across several regions. In addition to the high quality, the brand effect had already been established.
There was no way that the store's items could not be sold. This was also one of the reasons why these trading companies were willing to go back and forth as porters.
Furthermore, there were also times when the grocery store could make a large profit. For example, if there was a half-price event on a certain day, if they bought a large number of items on that day and transported them back to their country, even if they sold them at the original price, they would still make a huge profit.
Mo Tiankong had also thought about it before. After all, the prices of the items were transparent. When the roads were repaired, the teleportation array would be set up to connect the various cities and empires. Then, these trading companies would definitely lower the prices. Otherwise, martial artists would not take the teleportation array themselves.
In this way, the store would lose these porters. Mo Tiankong didn't mind these trading companies making a bit of profit. The main purpose of letting countless trading companies sell their items was to promote the store, increase its reputation, and let more martial artists know about the store and the items sold in the store.
After all, Mo Tiankong was pressured by the main mission. In addition, it would be best if everyone on the continent knew about the store. This way, it would be easier for the store to level up, and the store's turnover would increase. Naturally, the cut would also be higher. Martial arts cultivation depended on the cut from the sale of items.
Especially at the level of Wu Sheng now, increasing one's cultivation level by one level would result in a turnover of tens of billions. The 9: 1 cut was Mo Tiankong's pain point.
And this half-price event was the only way to attract and even keep these trading companies working hard to transport the items.
Mo Tiankong thought that the reason the System had created the Sales System so quickly was probably because of this problem.
Otherwise, Mo Tiankong wouldn't have thought of so many things.
The items in the store were not bought with gold or silver coins. In addition, the prices of the items were higher than the market price. These types of items were not easy to sell.
The price of a single item was also relatively high. Once the half-price event was launched, the profits would be huge.
Previously, Mo Tiankong had said that if one had the capital to buy an item worth ten million spirit stones at once, under the circumstances of not having to worry about selling, even if they didn't add any other fees, they would still make a net profit of ten million spirit stones by selling the item at the same price as the store.
This profit was considerable.
For trading companies in the oil and salt industry, a jar of salt might be sold in silver or gold coins. How much would they have to sell to make ten million spirit stones?
If you sold a jar of salt for one spirit stone, the martial artists weren't stupid. It was just that the grocery store's products were monopolized and no one else could produce them. The store's price could only be set according to that price.
There were many other reasons that caused many trading companies to be eager to be porters.
However, according to this, the System was a little more far-sighted. Or rather, the process had always been like this. Mo Tiankong was too lazy to think about it.
Although this fatty's complaints were almost silent, Mo Tiankong's spiritual perception was naturally able to hear it.
This, he had accidentally gone into seclusion for too long. What could he do?
As for explaining things to this guy, forget it. He didn't want to lose face.
"Store Manager Mo, how many spirit stones do these items cost in total?"
The fatty continued to ask.
Mo Tiankong took a look. Good guy, not only were there no Ba-Serpent Battle Formation and White Jade Chess, but even the Maotai Wine was expensive, and there wasn't a single item.
The half-price event was all about Wangzai, Thousand Island Lake Beer, and so on.
However, it had to be said that these items were indeed popular items. Even in the grocery store, they were among the hottest items.
Merchants' foresight was indeed not ordinary.
After all, in terms of consumption, Wangzai's items were naturally easier to sell. However, the profits were not low.
For example, if the beer of the Thousand-island Lake was sold at 500 Spiritual Stones per bottle, the profit at half price would be 250 Spiritual Stones. This was the original price. Wang Zai was selling it at 10 Spiritual Stones per pack, so the profit at half price would be 5 Spiritual Stones.
Looking at it this way, Wangzai needed to sell 50 packs to earn the profit of one bottle of Thousand Island Lake Beer. However, there was a problem.
The number of martial artists who could afford to buy Thousand Island Lake Beer was definitely less than the number of martial artists who could afford to buy Wangzai. Another point was the price. Ten spirit stones per pack for Wangzai was very little. Five hundred spirit stones per bottle for Thousand Island Lake Beer was not a low number for low level martial artists.
Relatively speaking, Wangzai, which was easier to sell, had a higher profit margin than Thousand Island Lake Beer.
"A total of 7.6 million spirit stones."
Mo Tiankong's eyelids twitched. This fatty was really ruthless. He was taking advantage of the half-price to sell it fiercely.
Yesterday, this fatty bought a large number of items to prepare for the New Year, and he only bought 3 million spirit stones worth of items.
This meant that he had experience …
Actually, this was normal. It was normal for businesses to be more sensitive to business.
From time to time, the stores would have half-price events. These people were not stupid.
Businesses pursued profit, and this half-price event was a profit.
"Okay, okay. Store Manager Mo, please take a look."
The fatty took out a few interspatial rings. He took out some spirit stones from one of the rings and put it back on the counter.
"That's right."
Mo Tiankong waved his hand, and the interspatial ring disappeared. Then, the System's notification came.
He repeated this action for the entire afternoon. Of course, as the store manager, Mo Tiankong still paid attention to the sales volume of the new items on the shelves.
In the evening, there were three new items on the shelves. There were many people looking at them, but very few were sold.
The item with the highest sales volume was Maotai Wine. It sold more than 1000 bottles, and the main consumers were the mercenaries.
Most businesses basically spent a lot of money to buy other items.
Apart from Maotai Wine, the other two items were more expensive. Basically, no businesses would choose to buy these items today.
Although the New Year's event only lasted for seven days, for businesses, it was fine to wait until the seventh day to buy the items.
This period of time was the time to make a lot of money. Since it was the New Year, martial artists would not go out too much. They would stay at home to accompany their families for a few days. It was normal for them to go shopping and buy some cultivation items.
It was easy to sell. Six days before the event, they would buy a large number of other items.
Basically, any business could think of this.
Of course, there were many businesses with strong foundations. They would also buy some items.
They weren't lacking in spirit stones, but there was a limit to how many spirit stones there were.
Also, because of the Ba-Serpent Battle Formation and White Marble Chess, ordinary people would not be able to use them. This was also one of the reasons why the sales volume was low.
However, the sales volume of the other items was very high.
