Although it seems that Tianbaozong may have two choices, Ye Zan actually doesn't have too much worry about what choice the other party will make in the end. It is said that businessmen value "profit". Since Tianbao Sect is business-oriented, it will naturally have a clearer judgment on gains and losses than other monastic sects.
Forming an alliance with the Yuqing Sect certainly means taking some risks, but it is not the only risk.
Let’s not talk about how Yu Qing Sect is doing in Shenhua Realm.
Let's just say that in this Moyi realm, once the Yuqing Sect really forms an alliance with the Moyi Sect, then after the Tianbao Sect forms an alliance with the Yuqing Sect, it will be equivalent to becoming an ally of the Moyi Sect. You must know that the foundation of Tianbao Sect lies in the Moyi Market. If it really becomes an ally of the Moyi Sect, it will naturally be more convenient here.
As for the Jade Qing Sect, although due to some grievances ten thousand years ago, this time it may encounter some big and small troubles when facing the powerful people gathered from various outer regions. However, there is basically no need for Tianbao Sect to fight those troubles. The only thing they need to do is not to stab Yuqing Sect in the back.
Moreover, Ye Zan's visit to the Moyi realm this time may not only form an alliance with the Moyi religion. Through the cooperation with Qianli Chuanshen Network, he also has great hope of attracting some partners from outside the domain. With the Moyi Sect as an ally, and some partners from the outside world, the strength possessed by the Yuqing Sect is probably enough to deal with any trouble.
Of course, the benefits that taking sides can bring are definitely not as good as staying neutral all the time. After all, neutrality means that there is an opportunity to take it all, or to wait for the price. However, as long as the Yuqing Sect and the Moyi Sect formed an alliance, neither of these two families would tolerate having such a weak figure standing behind them.
Therefore, neutrality, which originally had no risks, needs to face a lot of risks. And under such a hedging, the benefits that neutrality can gain are probably difficult to compare with choosing a side.
Therefore, as long as the Tianbao Sect is not one-minded, it should know how to choose, which is more beneficial to itself.
Not to mention that True Lord Duobao sent people to report the news, the news that Ye Zan had returned to Tianbao Sect's shop was soon known to people in various sect shops in the outer domain. So, almost as soon as the news spread, people from various shops rushed over in a hurry.
Since there were so many people coming, Ye Zan couldn't meet them one by one, so he had to invite everyone to the Tianbaozong shop just like he did when he demonstrated the alchemy assistant. But this time, Tianbaozong was also prepared. Instead of letting everyone crowd in the shop lobby, they moved everyone into the spacious living room.
Although the living room has also been temporarily decorated, everyone can have a seat.
"Fellow Taoists, I'm really sorry. I was invited by Elder Yu of the Moyi Sect before I left, so I made you guys wait for so many days. It's a sin to expect you all!" When everyone was seated, Ye Zan came out and bowed his hands to everyone and said.
These people present will naturally feel resentful for waiting for so many days. But no matter how much he scolded his mother in his heart before, it was impossible to show it at this time. After all, he was facing two parties now, one was the God of Wealth, and the other was not easy to mess with.
"Haha, what did fellow Taoist say? We are all cultivators after all, so we can't wait for a few days. Besides, it's only a few days, and there's nothing we can't delay. Fellow Taoist, your words are really serious." Zhenjun Qingmu returned the favor to Ye Zan and said with a smile.
"Yes, what Fellow Daoist Qingmu said is absolutely true! However, I am indeed a little worried. I wonder if Elder Yu invited Fellow Daoist to leave a few Tiangang Divine Pills for us?" Zhenjun Baiyun also followed closely. Afterwards, he half-jokingly asked Ye Zan.
In the eyes of everyone in the outside world, Elder Yu most likely invited Ye Zan away this time for the purpose of refining the divine elixir for Tiangang. Therefore, all those who are interested in Tiangang's refining of the divine elixir are actually like Zhenjun Baiyun, who are very worried about whether there will be any more of the Tiangang's refining of the elixir.
Although on the surface, the Mayi religion trapped in this middle domain seems to be a level lower than those large sects in the outer domain. But in fact, no matter in terms of the strength of the sect or the financial resources of the sect, I am afraid that there are not many sects in the outer realm that can compare with it.
Therefore, no one in the outer realm doubts whether the Moyi Cult can afford Ye Zan's Tiangang Divine Pill. The only thing they hope in their hearts is that the Moyi Cult should not do too much and leave a few Tiangang Divine Pills to them.
"Good question, Fellow Taoist Baiyun!" Ye Zan nodded, motioning for everyone in the outer realm to sit down, and he also came to his seat, and then said: "As for this Tiangang Divine Refining Pill, fellow Taoists, you don't need to Worry. I have already promised that Elder Yu will open another furnace to refine it for him. As for fellow Taoists, I have the same idea. If these thirty-six pills are not enough, I will. It will be refined again."
From a business perspective, Ye Zan's words go against business principles. This is equivalent to reducing the scarcity of Tiangang Divine Refining Pill to a certain extent. Everyone knows that this thing is rare and valuable. In addition to the value of the Tiangang Divine Refining Pill itself as a Dharma-level elixir, scarcity is also an important part of its value.
Those who are really doing business will even create artificial scarcity, such as smashing one of the only two bowls in the world. The value of the remaining bowl will not only double, but may increase ten times or a hundred times.
If Ye Zan's thirty-six Tiangang Divine Pills were placed in the hands of a real businessman, they would already seem to be too many. If you really want to maximize its value, even if you don't make it the only thing that exists, you have to at least reduce the number to single digits.
However, Ye Zan said to everyone: You can buy it with confidence. If anyone doesn't buy it, I will open a furnace to refine another batch. In this way, this Tiangang Divine Refining Pill has no scarcity at all, and only its actual value remains.
"Fellow Taoist said this, but it is not in line with the way of business management!" Zhenjun Qingmu said to Ye Zan incomprehensibly. Of course, he is also a "consumer". Therefore, Ye Zan's approach is also a good thing for him. It's just that compared to the "benefits" he got, he valued Ye Zan more as a person.
"Haha, thank you Taoist Fellow Qingmu for reminding me!" Ye Zan first thanked Fellow Taoist Qingmu, and then reminded everyone: "But Fellow Taoist Qingmu and all the fellow Taoists present here should not have forgotten it. Come to the transaction request."
Yes, Ye Zan's approach has indeed reduced the scarcity of Tiangang's refining pills. But the problem is, he has no intention of selling this Tiangang Divine Pill for a sky-high price. The transaction method he proposed to everyone at the beginning was to let them exchange all kinds of weird things for pills, even if the things were worthless in the eyes of the other party.
Since things are being exchanged, it is natural that the more Tiangang Refining Pills Ye Zan has, the more things he can exchange with everyone. Your Tiangang Divine Refining Pill has indeed become a unique thing in the world and can be sold for an astronomical number. However, if you use this Tiangang Divine Refining Pill to exchange for things, can one pill be exchanged for everything in everyone's hands
Of course, Ye Zan can also sell the elixirs, and then use the sold spiritual stones to buy what he wants from other people. However, no matter what it is, once it becomes a commodity, it must have added value. In other words, a thing is only worth one penny, but as a commodity, it may not be sold for only one penny.
Therefore, for Ye Zan, instead of selling the Tiangang Divine Refining Pill at a high price and then using the spirit stones to buy those things at a high price, it would be better to barter directly.
"This...it turns out that fellow Taoist had such a plan, but I was overthinking it." After thinking about this, Lord Aoki couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
Speaking of Ye Zan's trading conditions, Zhenjun Yuanluo raised his own objection and said: "Of course we all remember the trading method that fellow Taoist mentioned before, and we have collected a lot of things from the sect in the past few days. Come here. However, I still have some doubts. There must be a standard for this transaction. Is it really possible to exchange one piece for another? "
In commodity transactions, the reason why currency appears is to provide a standard for the value of commodities. Everyone thinks that exchanging a cow for a sheep is not a worthwhile transaction, but where exactly it is not worthwhile depends on currency to reach a consensus. If a cow is worth 10,000 yuan and a sheep is worth 5,000 yuan, then people immediately know that one cow can be exchanged for two sheep.
But now, Ye Zan put aside currency and directly used barter to trade the Tiangang Divine Pill. So, without the standard of currency, what standard should be used to measure the value of items so that neither party to the transaction has any objection
The words of Zhenjun Yuanluo immediately aroused the echo of everyone in the outside world, and everyone said: "Fellow Daoist Yuanluo is absolutely right, how can we know whether these things in our hands can be exchanged for one pill, or ten pills?" A hundred pieces can be exchanged for one pill?"
Among these people, there are naturally some who have ulterior motives and are deliberately trying to stir up everyone's emotions. Although, messing up Ye Zan's deal may not be really beneficial to them. However, whether they have a grudge against the Yuqing Sect or have nothing to do with it at all, they all have the heart of "watching the excitement and not being afraid of big troubles."
Ye Zan glanced at the crowd, but did not speak immediately. He waited until everyone's voices gradually became scattered, and then turned to Zhenjun Yuanluo and said: "Fellow Yuanluo, that's a good question, but standards are all set by people. In the final analysis, it's all about mutual love. Therefore, although it seems that there is no standard for me to barter, if anyone feels that the transaction is inappropriate, they can not trade with me. After all, the thing is in your hands. , the elixir is in my hand, and I can only exchange it if you give me the medicine, who would be able to take it by force?"
"But, who can guarantee that the thing I exchanged for one pill is really worth only one pill? What if its actual value may be enough to replace ten pills?" Someone immediately said He stood up and retorted to Ye Zan's words.
Faced with the doubt, Ye Zan did not get angry at all, but said with a smile: "Haha, fellow Taoist, why don't you think about it, your thing may actually be worthless, but it can be exchanged for a pill for me. Where’s the medicine?”
"This..." The man was asked by Ye Zan and didn't know how to answer.
Ye Zan withdrew his gaze, looked at the others, and said loudly: "I have just made it clear that there is nothing fair or unfair in this transaction. The key is that you and I are willing. Or you can think of this transaction as a It's like guessing the box, except that you and I are guessing at each other. You think the pill in my hand is more valuable than what you gave me, and I think your thing is worth more, so let's exchange. If we feel that we are at a disadvantage, let's discuss it again. If we can't agree, we won't exchange it. Isn't it that simple? "
After everyone heard Ye Zan's words, they all sat there and thought about it, but they really couldn't find anything wrong with it. Just like Ye Zan said, this exchange all depends on your willingness and mine. If you don't want to, you don't have to exchange, and no one will force you. As for what the value of the thing is after the exchange is completed and it is in someone else's hands, that is all their business. If you only think about taking advantage and don't want to suffer losses, there are not so many advantages in the world for you to take advantage of.
"Fellow Taoist Wuji is right! Besides, the value of the Tiangang Divine Refining Pill is there, how can you lose if you really lose money? What's more, you don't know the value of what you have in your hand. Then If the thing is left in your hands, can it really be of higher value than a Tiangang Divine Refining Pill?" After hearing Ye Zan's explanation, someone also figured out what was going on here and immediately half-brought it to him. He expressed his support to Ye Zan in a flattering manner.
Although this statement was somewhat meant to please Ye Zan, it was indeed not unreasonable. The value of a thing in your hands mainly depends on how far you can use it. If you know nothing about this thing, then it is just a piece of waste in your hands. It has no value other than taking up space.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for explaining this to me!" Ye Zan cupped his hands towards the man, and then said to everyone: "If you, fellow Taoist, have no objections to my transaction requirements, then we might as well start trading here. Right. As for those who still have objections, you can just wait and see if it feels right, then come back to the transaction. If it doesn’t, just turn around and leave."
Despite the various doubts raised by so many people just now, when Ye Zan said that he would start trading, everyone stood up immediately. Judging from their posture, they looked like adults and aunts waiting to grab eggs at the entrance of the supermarket. Fortunately, they are all cultivators after all. Although they are many times older than the uncles and aunts, they don't really swarm them like that.
