Talisman is divided into nine levels, above which there are king level, emperor level, saint level, and god level. The higher the level of the talisman, the stronger the effect. For inscription talismans of levels one to nine, the increase is mostly between half and half percent. An inscription talisman with a 20% increase can be regarded as a king-grade talisman; a 30% increase can be regarded as an imperial-grade talisman. Of course, this is only a classification of the effects of inscription talismans, and the criteria for classifying other talismans are different.
When the shopkeeper of Duobao Building saw Ye Ming's dignified appearance and extraordinary temperament, he took a high look and asked with a smile: "What does the distinguished guest need?"
"Better quality talisman paper and ink." Ye Ming said, asking the shopkeeper to recommend a few. "
Upon hearing that Ye Ming was a talisman master, the shopkeeper became more polite and said quickly: "Okay. The talisman paper and ink have three grades: low, medium and high, and above that there are holy and divine grades."
"What's the price of high-end talisman paper and holy talisman paper?" Ye Ming asked.
"High-end talisman paper costs about 1,000 Martial Lord coins; holy talisman paper costs about 30,000 Martial Lord coins." The shopkeeper smiled, "I recommend the talismans from Tianjue Xuan. They are exquisite in craftsmanship and of high quality."
Ye Ming nodded and asked, "Where is Fu Mo?"
"High-end talisman ink is packaged in jars and costs 360,000 Martial Lord Coins per jar; holy talisman ink is packaged in small bottles and costs approximately 400,000 Martial Lord Coins per bottle. I recommend that distinguished guests use Longtuge's ink, which has the best reputation. "The shopkeeper said.
Ye Ming thought about it and decided to buy 350 pieces of high-end talisman paper, a jar of high-end talisman ink, ten pieces of holy talisman paper, and a small bottle of holy talisman ink. The final total price was 1.41 million Wuzun coins. Due to the large purchase volume, "Ji Wujiu" easily qualified as a sixth-level VIP. After a 30% discount, the actual payment was 987,000. Qianwu Zun Coin.
Originally he wanted to buy a talisman pen, but Ye Ming asked the shopkeeper of Duobaolou to take a look at his bald pen. The shopkeeper said that it was a holy talisman pen and the price exceeded 600,000 Wuzun coins. He got this bald pen from the Yan State treasury. He didn't expect it to be so valuable. In this case, there is no need to buy any more. At this stage, the holy talisman pen is completely enough for him.
When leaving Duobao Tower, Ye Ming only had three thousand Wuzun coins left in his pocket. But with the talisman in his hand, he could still make money back, and he didn't feel any pain at all.
After preparing high-quality talisman paper and ink, Ye Ming returned to the shop and immediately started making talismans. He discussed with Lao Tong and decided to make two hundred inscription talismans, fifty escape talismans, fifty invisibility talismans, and fifty killing talismans. These are the most commonly used talismans and have a relatively large market. As for the ten holy talismans, Ye Ming decided to make them all into killing talismans, which could be used for personal use or sold.
Two hundred inscription talismans, including one hundred seventh-level inscription talismans, an increase of 1.5%; eighty king-level inscription talismans, an increase of 23%; twenty emperor-level inscription talismans, an increase of 30% two. Due to limited energy, Ye Ming hurriedly made two hundred inscription talismans before opening the business the next day. Moreover, he was so exhausted that he had to rest for a few days before he could start working again.
Early the next morning, Ye Ming's shop was surrounded by people buying charms. It turned out that after a day of fermentation, Ye Ming's talisman-making skills were praised by many people. Coupled with the low price, of course people flocked to it.
Lao Tong smiled from ear to ear. He still set up a table at the entrance of the store and said loudly: "There are still discounts today, please line up!"
"Shopkeeper, what talismans are on sale today?" someone asked.
"One hundred seventh-level inscription talismans, eighty king-level inscription talismans, and twenty emperor-level inscription talismans. Today's talismans are all 30% off! Seventh-level inscription talismans, originally priced at 100,000 Martial Lord Coins, are now available. Seventy thousand! The original price of the King-level inscription talisman is 300,000, and the current price is 210,000! The original price of the King-level inscription talisman is 800,000, and the current price is 560,000!"
Someone immediately became dissatisfied: "Yesterday's seventh-level talisman only sold for 18,000, why did it become 70,000 today? This is too deceiving!"
Shopkeeper Tong sneered: "Didn't you realize that yesterday's talisman was made of low-grade talisman paper and ink? But today's talisman is made of high-grade talisman paper and ink. Of course, the price is different! And yesterday's opening reward , the price should naturally be lower to attract popularity. You get what you pay for, whether it is worth it or not, everyone will know after using it.”
A martial artist had a bad temper and said: "I have to rush to do a task, and I want to get a seventh-level inscription talisman first!" After saying that, he bought 70,000 martial arts coins.
The texture of the high-end talisman paper is just different. It shines brightly in the hand, and when you gently place it on the weapon, the inscriptions will be integrated into the weapon. The weapon was a long sword. After the inscription, a circle of white light immediately appeared, which was bone-chillingly cold.
"No way? This inscription talisman actually has the effect of ice attack!" The martial artist screamed strangely, laughed, and made a sword flash on the spot. Suddenly there was a chill, and even the ground was frozen.
Old Tong smiled and said: "Our boss said that on the second day of opening today, in order to thank you for your love, each inscription talisman will be given an attribute magic circle for free. There are two attribute effects, one is the fire attack effect, and the other is the cold effect. You can choose the ice attack effect according to your personal needs."
The crowd immediately exploded, and those who were still hesitating immediately paid for it, and most of them bought the seventh-level talisman. After all, today's discount is not as strong as yesterday's. It was only in the afternoon that the last talisman was sold, and 35 million Wuzun coins were earned in the account!
Of the 35 million, Ye Ming spent one million to pay one month's rent in one go. The remaining 34 million were all used to purchase talisman paper and talisman ink. The amount was large enough for him to use for three to four months.
The income from making talismans far exceeded Ye Ming's imagination. In the next few months, he decided to go all out to make talismans. The money earned from making charms can be used for two purposes. The first is to rent two larger shops, open the bank on Cangxuan Street, and at the same time expand the business area of the charm shop. This will be a huge investment. The second use is that he must buy more trading merit and resurrect his parents. The resurrection time is only a few years. If he misses it, he will never be resurrected. He must complete it as soon as possible.
Due to all his efforts in making talismans, he will not be able to practice in the past six months. But there was nothing he could do. He had to make money in the early stage. Without money, many of his plans would not be realized.
Day after day, Ye Ming's talisman making became more and more famous and loved by warriors. The daily sales were stable at around 10 million. After excluding the cost of less than 1 million, the net profit exceeded 9 million!
So a month later, he quit the shop and rented a larger shop next door, and the decoration was naturally more luxurious. This shop is more than ten times larger than the previous shop. Of course, the rent is also expensive, as much as 15 million per month! Shopkeeper Tong's salary has also increased from 30,000 yuan in January to 150,000 yuan.
As the store grew, Lao Tong hired a few more reliable people to take care of it, making sure to satisfy customers.
In the first month, the store's net profit was almost 280 million, of which 150 million was used to pay rent in one go, and the remaining 130 million was used to invest in new Qianzhuang stores. The location of the bank is right opposite the shop. The original tenant was expiring in half a month and had no intention of renewing the lease, so Ye Ming just took over. This shop is bigger, and the monthly rent is as high as 20 million, and all the 130 million has been paid as a deposit.
Once the original tenants leave, the bank can move in.
On this day, Ye Ming had just completed a day of making talismans and was very tired. Suddenly a group of people came to the shop, it was Fu Biao, Chen Xing and others. After receiving Ye Ming's message, they took their clerks and account books and rushed over quickly. The journey was long, and each of them had serious expressions on their faces.
The shop opposite was not available yet, so after exchanging pleasantries, Ye Ming rented a yard on the edge of the city for this group of people to stay there temporarily.
Fu Biao and others were very curious about "Ji Wujiu". When they had dinner together, they asked about his identity many times, but Ye Ming just didn't tell him. It's not that he doesn't trust Fu Biao and others, but knowing his identity will do them no good.
"Junior brother, you are so awesome. You have rented such a big shop in just a few days. The rent of the shop must be very high, right?" Yang Dengfeng asked in surprise.
Ye Ming said lightly: "It's okay, 15 million Wuzun coins per month. The bank's shop is bigger, 20 million per month."
Everyone was moved by this. Can the rent of 20 million be earned? I'm afraid I'm going to lose money in the early stage, right
Ye Ming said calmly: "Business is the same as cultivation. You can't rush. You have to do it step by step. We may not make money in the early stage, but when we have enough customers, it will be a matter of time before we make money. Also, I We decided to hire a Martial Saint to take charge of the bank. After all, if some accounts cannot be collected, a strong person will have to step forward."
Fu Biao and others waited for more than ten days before moving into the new shop. The bank was officially opened, and the bank was named Sitong Qianzhuang, which means universal. On the first day the bank opened, Ye Ming put 100 million Wuzun coins in it to use for the bank's expenses. And he also decided to invest 100 million in it every month.
Making talismans every day is extremely boring. When the new shop was rented for a month, Ye Ming only had tens of millions of funds in his hands. This month, the profit received was about 250 million, of which 110 million was used to pay the rent of the bank. The rent is paid annually, totaling 240 million. The previous 130 million subscription was paid, and this 110 million is made up.
The other 100 million was invested in the bank. The bank has just started operating, and there are not many people available, so it is naturally impossible to talk about making money. But the good news is that its reputation is gradually spreading, and more and more people are willing to come to borrow money. Ye Ming worked very hard on the bank. He specially built a magic array in the bank. This magic circle can also communicate with the seven-yuan arithmetic array, which is specially used to record and query the credit status of customers.
One month after opening, the bank's daily loan volume exceeded 5 million, and the monthly interest was 12%, so the daily gross profit was around 20,000. But in fact, the daily operating costs alone are as high as 700,000 yuan, and the profit of 20,000 yuan is really a drop in the bucket. Ye Ming is still doing a loss-making business.
Another month later, Fudian's business gradually stabilized. The monthly revenue was fixed at about 230 million, and the profit was about 210 million. Among them, 100 million will still be sent to the bank, and the remaining 100 million will be saved. Of course, another 10 to 20 million will be used to pay taxes.
As time goes by, the business of the bank is getting better and better, but the business of Fudian is getting colder. First, the prices of Ye Ming's talisman sales tend to be reasonable and the discounts are limited; second, affected by Ye Ming's huge profits, several talisman selling shops have opened in the surrounding area. So when the new store opened for half a year, its monthly revenue had dropped to about 100 million, and its profit was about 80 million.
On the contrary, banks have made great progress, lending more than RMB 60 million every day. Most of their employers are small forces with stable income and little risk. Moreover, the bank's total capital has exceeded 700 million, and it already has strong profit expectations. Ye Ming estimated that it would take at least half a year for the bank to break even.
Ji Xuanbing was invited by him to sit in the bank. With this Martial Saint around, no one would dare to come and make trouble. Of course, most of the time, there is no need for Ji Xuanbing to come forward, which will not delay his practice.
At the same time, in the past six months, Ye Ming has saved 500 million Wuzun coins, and he can finally resurrect his parents!
