Everyone was silent.
I have to say.
Being able to become famous in the city in such a short period of time really impressed Luo Cheng and other members of the Luo family.
Qiao Mu smiled and said:
"The number of Taotie golds I have distributed in the past few days is about one thousand. This is the total number currently held by the mountain people of Taotie City."
"As for the rest... You are all not outsiders, so I will be frank and honest with you. I won't pretend anymore."
"There are only 10,081 Taotie golds. It's just a lie told to outsiders."
"The Philosopher's Stone is in my hand, so I can give you as much Taotie Gold as you want. But you can't give it out indiscriminately. If you give out too much, the price of gold will plummet."
Many members of the Luo family were slightly stunned, and suddenly they understood.
The Luo family had obtained the Golden Stone, and they only knew to get as much gold as possible, the more the better, but they had never thought of this step...
Qiao Mu further added:
"In fact, what I have done in the past few days is very simple. I just promoted the brand of Taotie Gold."
"Within a few days, the name of Taotie Jin has become known to everyone in the city."
"No one would believe that a powerful warrior would come to this remote place just to play tricks on them... This doesn't make sense."
"Now, guess how many people in the entire Taotie City believe in the legend of Taotie Gold
How many people have reached a strong consensus on the existence of Taotie Gold?"
The traveling merchant Luo Cheng was shocked and couldn't help but think of the head of the Luo family.
This phrase "strong consensus" is what the clan leader always says, but today Master Qiao put it into practice in a completely different way, and the effect is better and spread more widely... .
"So, in Master Qiao's hands, most of the stones turned into Taotie gold?" The traveling merchant Luo Cheng asked after a moment of hesitation.
"That's right. And this is the business I want to discuss with you today."
Qiao Mu said:
"The brand of Taotie Gold has been established. It is no longer just a piece of gold, but a symbol of the ancient legend of Taotie City!"
"The more people know the legend, the more valuable the Taotie Gold will be."
"I'm just an outsider. If I can cooperate with a local giant like the Luo clan, I can naturally make money more easily."
"I understand the principle that when many hands make light work, the flames rise high. The right way is for everyone to make money together and achieve common prosperity! It's a win-win situation!"
Many members of the Luo family were moved when they heard this. After all, what Master Qiao had done in the past few days was indeed refreshing and amazing to them.
The Luo family is also a family of profiteers who made their fortune from gold. In their opinion, Qiao Mu's method... has a lot of merits.
"Master Qiao, please explain in detail."
Qiao Mu nodded:
"Now that Taotie Gold has become a well-known brand, the next thing we will sell to the public will naturally be goods like Taotie Gold."
"After all, I am a warrior from another place. It is not suitable for me to sell Taotie gold, which is the flesh fragment of Taotie produced locally, to the outside world. This is why I need the help of the Luo family."
The traveling merchant Luo Cheng felt itchy after hearing this... Before, he had indeed sold the so-called "Golden Country Gold" to the outside world, but now Qiao Mu's Taotie Gold was more famous than their Golden Country Gold.
Qiao Mu's proposal to have the Luo family sell the products on their behalf was exactly what they wanted.
Qiao Mu crossed his arms and spoke slowly:
"It is said that 'Taiji gives birth to two opposites, two opposites give birth to four images, four images give birth to eight trigrams.'
I combined the Yin-Yang theory and created a brand new business model, which I call the Yin-Yang fission sales method. "
"The so-called Yin-Yang sales method is to treat customers as our Taotie Gold's downline merchants, and let them sell on our behalf, pass on the information to each other, and thus fission."
"Here, I divide my clients into four levels: Tai Chi, Liang Yi, Si Xiang, and Bagua."
"If you sell our Taotie Gold to two people, you will become a Liangyi-level customer and receive a dividend of one tael of gold every month."
"If you sell it to four people, you will become a four-elephant-level customer, and you will receive monthly dividends..."
"The essence of the Yin-Yang fission sales method is that merchants and customers are inseparable, and customers can become merchants under our control."
“What we are doing is not just to make money from our customers, but to make money with our customers and ultimately achieve a win-win situation.”
As the traveling merchant Luo Cheng listened to Qiao Mu's incessant chatter, his eyes unconsciously widened little by little.
He is not an amateur, he himself is a profiteer who once sold "gold" to gamblers...
And in his opinion, Qiao Wei's novel business model simply has great potential!
"Master Qiao, can you let us think about it first?" Luo Cheng said in a deep voice.
...
Luo Cheng pulled a few familiar brothers from the same clan into the meeting hall and started discussing the matter.
"I've heard a little bit about the Qiao family. I heard that they are a very powerful martial arts family. The Qiao family can make the city lord and Chen Gongsheng so respectful. I think they are not ordinary people." Luo Cheng spoke first:
"In front of the Qiao family, our Golden Country rhetoric always feels a bit outdated."
"If I can rely on this opportunity to climb up a big tree like the Qiao family, it will also be an opportunity."
The rest of the Luo family also nodded, clearly interested.
In the past few days, they watched Qiao Wei start a gold rush that swept the whole city, but they could only watch enviously from the sidelines...
You have to know that the touchstone and "gold" in Qiumu's hand were all snatched from them.
"Master Qiao's trick is obviously very promising and is more advanced and more effective than our Golden Country scam." Someone said:
"If we don't join him, the whole city will be deceived by him, and we can only sit on the sidelines and watch!"
Different from the mountain people in the city.
The Luo family had long known about the existence of the Philosopher's Stone and the truth about the so-called Taotie Gold.
They knew long ago that this was a scam to make money.
So they are even more jealous.
"I can't beat him... Instead of watching him make money, I might as well join him!"
"If it's any later, you won't be able to eat the shit while it's still hot."
"Master Qiao is an outsider after all. After some time, when he pats his butt and walks away, the mountain people in the whole Taotie City will surely become wary. How can we local businessmen do similar business then?"
The same trick can only be used once. Few people are fools enough to fall into it twice in a row.
After a brief discussion, Luo Cheng and others came to the same conclusion:
If you can't beat them, join them!
Anyway, they are the first suppliers to come into contact with the Yin-Yang fission sales method. As long as they run away in time, the sickle will not be able to cut them.
"Master Qiao wants to cooperate with us to harvest the fools together. This scam is destined to benefit only a few smart people... Obviously we are that minority."
"Then the question is..." Merchant Luo Cheng suddenly said:
"All our previous gold was taken away by Master Qiao, and I'm afraid Master Qiao won't accept the 'gold' that can be transformed from stone into gold. After all, he has the Midas Stone and such a powerful Taotie Gold consensus. It only takes a little time to produce a large amount of Taotie Gold."
"Then if we want to join the gang and become the boss of this game, we can only use..."
silver.
... ..
An hour later.
Qiao Mu stuffed the package full of silver into the storage bag and swaggered out of the ancestral hall.
The conversation went smoothly, and Qiumu successfully reached a strong consensus with the Luo family.
"Back then, I fought hard, sacrificed several lives, and led three hundred veterans out of the desert. Only then did I receive five thousand taels of imperial pension."
"It's only been a few days since I went to the Luo Family Ancestral Hall and earned five thousand taels of silver..."
Qiao Mu burst into tears.
When he was over 700 years old, he suddenly realized that he might have talents in both business and sculpture, and he might have just chosen the wrong skill tree.
“Am I really a business genius?”
Qiao Mu touched his chin and walked out.
What he cheated from the mountain people of Taotie City was the Taotie gold he distributed. There is a slight difference between the two.
What he cheated from the Luo family who knew the inside story was real silver.
It was so easy to earn five thousand taels, which showed how big of a fat sheep the Luo family was. How much money they had made from the gold business in this city over the years...
Of course, Qiumu did not forget the purpose of this trip.
Making money from the Luo family is nothing more than a strategy to win over the mentality of the head of the Luo family.
"In a few days, they will show a series of projects going bankrupt, run away with the money, and then come back to pry open his mouth..."
At this moment, a fat cat came out from the alley next to him and climbed onto his shoulder.
"Haven't you found the source of that gold and stone yet?" Qiao Mu gently scratched the fat cat's chin, making the little pig squint its eyes comfortably, with its tail swinging in the air.
The legend of the Golden City has a long history, so it is definitely not just the head of the Luo family who has come into contact with the monsters in the Golden City. So these days, Qiao Mu has been asking Fat Cat to secretly look for other people who have come into contact with the monsters.
In the past few days, the entire Taotie City has been turned upside down...
Therefore, even if the connection with the head of the Luo family was broken, it would only take Qiumu a few more days.
Thinking of this, Qiao Mu suddenly stopped.
At the corner of the intersection ahead, a man in a bamboo hat holding a bamboo stick blocked his way.
The person wearing a bamboo hat had a slim and graceful figure, and was obviously a woman. However, the eyes under the bamboo hat were cold and sharp, like a sharp knife.
"This is a warrior who has been on the battlefield for a long time and must have experienced hundreds of battles..." This thought flashed through Qiao Mu's mind.
Qing Li looked at him steadily and sighed slightly in his heart.
She observed carefully and secretly for a long time, and finally couldn't help it just now.
In fact, she was somewhat disillusioned, and her impression of the Qiao family was greatly reduced:
I thought the Qiao family were all upright men, but I didn't want to be in the same boat with the Luo family...
She didn't understand it a few days ago, but today she finally understood it.
Such a thought flashed through her mind, and she said lightly:
"Master Qiao."
"I heard that you are doing a loan business. I have 1,000 taels of silver and would like to do this business with you."
Qing Li raised the bamboo stick in his hand, his eyes as cold as lightning, but with a hint of disappointment that was difficult to conceal:
"But before that, I want to see if Master Qiao has the ability to borrow this thousand taels from me."
Chapter 302 Qiao Xi, you will not die well! (7k)
The Qiao family is famous for valuing righteousness over life and death.
They have already established a great reputation in the entire Kyushu martial arts world through their corpses.
Demon Spear Qing Li became famous even earlier. After the death of the Spear Saint, she has been at the top of the power list and has never fallen.
The power list of Tingchao Tower is actually similar to the half-demon list. It is extremely difficult for pure-blooded humans to be on the list. Historically, only those with natural supernatural powers like Wu Jingang can be on par with half-demons.
However, even such a long-established martial arts master has long been overshadowed by the Qiao family.
"The Qiao family, a martial arts clan known for valuing righteousness over life and death, has a man named Qiao who cheats ordinary people out of their money..."
In the alley, Qing Li lowered her eyelids, with a hint of disappointment and fatigue in her eyes.
But think about it...
It is only because the men of the Qiao family have remained the same from generation to generation that they have left a strong stereotype on the world.
After all, the Qiao family is a family, not a single individual.
No matter how famous a family is or how strict its family rules are, can it guarantee that there won't be a few bad elements in the family
