C2227 The First Setback
Article 2227. Disappointment in the first match
After listening to Qin Xiao's analysis, Lan Lingsheng and the other three all nodded their heads in agreement.
When they heard this, they suddenly realized something and understood some of the reasons.
The way of business was indeed not that simple.
Qin Xiao had also relied on his own experience to gain some understanding of these situations. Otherwise, he would not have known that there was such a complicated situation. If he didn't understand these things, he would definitely make a joke out of it and be swept out like a fool.
"City Lord, what price should we bid?" Lan Lingsheng asked.
Qin Xiao said, "One Chaos Source Stone or two pots. If the quantity is large, we can give you a discount of 20% or 90%. No matter how low the price is, that won't do. We'll temporarily hold on to this bottom line. "
"The wine brewing speed of the Wine Clan isn't fast. The production isn't high. The wine industry is originally a low-interest industry. So, if we can't keep this bottom line, then we won't be able to earn Chaos Source Stone."
"The cost of the Alcohol Tribe is low because their wine brewing techniques are superb. It's not that this wine is supposed to be worthless."
"Ah, one Chaos Source Stone and two pots? Isn't the price too low?" Lan Lingsheng said with some surprise.
It sounded like it was indeed low.
It could be compared to ten Chaos Source Stone per pot of wine in the restaurant, but the price was only half a Chaos Source Stone, which was equivalent to one-twentieth of the price. It was really hard to understand.
But the fact was that this was a business, a business that was as deep as the sea.
Qin Xiao said, "It's about time. Let's do it like this. You just watch. Even the shopkeeper can't give us this price. That's why I said we have to keep this low price. If it's low, we'd rather not sell it."
" Anyway, we're not in a hurry. We have to slowly walk this path "
It can't be, right?
One Chaos Source Stone and two pots for such a low price?
Lan Lingsheng and the other three couldn't quite believe it, or it could be said that it was hard to understand.
They could clearly see the huge benefits, yet they were still unwilling. It did not make sense, right? Businessmen were not selfish. As long as they were given enough benefits, it would be enough.
Qin Xiao called the waiter over. He said to the waiter, "Please invite your manager over."
When the waiter heard Qin Xiao say he wanted to invite the shopkeeper over, he instantly panicked and hurriedly and carefully said. "Sir, it is this lowly one who has neglected these few sir. If there is anything that these few sir are dissatisfied with, feel free to blame this lowly one. Such a small matter, there is no need to alarm our shopkeeper, right? "
Qin Xiao shook his head and said with a smile. "Don't panic, waiter. It has nothing to do with you. I have something to ask your manager, so I will have to trouble you to ask him."
"This..." The waiter was in a very difficult position. The manager had a high position, and was in charge of this huge restaurant. He was usually very busy.
How could an ordinary person have the qualifications to meet the shopkeeper?
Although the restaurant was open for business, guests were more important. However, the identity of the manager was a bit special after all. Naturally, it was not something that anyone could meet just because they wanted to.
waiter looked at Qin Xiao and the others. He naturally had good eyesight, and could tell that they were here because they wanted to see him. Qin Xiao was a Fourth Step Celestial Sovereign Stage. The five followers he brought along were all Third Step Heavenly Sovereign Stage warriors. With such a group of men, it seemed like this man had some kind of background.
Although his face looked unfamiliar, it seemed like he had just arrived in Shangyong City, or perhaps he was just passing by.
However, it was better not to offend a High Immortal.
So after weighing the pros and cons in his heart, waiter still said, "Alright, high Immortal. I'll inform the manager now. However, our manager is quite busy, so I'm not confident that I can invite the manager here. I hope the Exalted Immortal won't blame me."
"Alright, just say that you have something to discuss." Qin Xiao nodded at the young man.
After a long while, the waiter walked over with a plump middle-aged man who looked like a well-dressed woman.
The smile on his round face had been maintained for a long time, as if it had become an instinct.
It was a smile made of skin but not flesh, so it gave people a strange feeling. It was a bit fake.
The atmosphere was restrained very well. Although he was a Fourth Step Celestial Sovereign Stage, he didn't give people any pressure. Since it was a First Step Heavenly Sovereign Stage warrior standing in front of him, he probably wouldn't feel uncomfortable.
However, Qin Xiao could feel that the aura of this shopkeeper was very powerful. He was definitely a very powerful Fourth Step Heavenly Sovereign Stage.
The Shangyong City was indeed worthy of being called the Shangyong City. The manager of a restaurant was actually a very experienced Fourth Step Heavenly Sovereign Stage. He had no idea what kind of power was supporting this restaurant.
Qin Xiao immediately felt that this kind of person was a cunning old fox, and wasn't easy to deal with.
It seemed like this random restaurant hadn't been chosen properly. When he saw the manager, he had a bad premonition.
However, since he was already here, he naturally had to discuss this matter.
The manager's eyes swept across Qin Xiao and the other three men without batting an eyelid. Lan Lingsheng and the other three men were naturally ignored by him. They were just ordinary Third Step Heavenly Sovereign Stage warriors.
A Third Step Heavenly Sovereign Stage warrior might still have the face to nod his head in a small place. However, in a big city like Shangyong City, it was nothing.
Any random grab on the street would do. There was a huge amount of them. It was worthless.
The shopkeeper's gaze paused on Qin Xiao for a moment, and a trace of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes.
It wasn't because Qin Xiao was a Fourth Step Celestial Sovereign Stage, but because Fourth Step Heavenly Sovereign Stage was very common in the Shangyong City. He was afraid that there would be Fourth Step Heavenly Sovereign Stage guests coming to the Immortal Wine House to drink every day.
It was because Qin Xiao had only lived for a short period of time. In just twenty to thirty million years, he had already reached the Fourth Step of Heavenly Sovereign Stage. He was an absolute peerless genius.
Therefore, the manager naturally looked at Qin Xiao in a different light.
Initially, Qin Xiao wanted to hide the aura. However, in order to discuss business with the shopkeeper, he didn't deliberately hide the aura. Instead, he disguised himself as a Third Step Heavenly Sovereign Stage.
"Exalted Immortal, I wonder what business you have with me? I don't think you are here to do business. Is it because my restaurant doesn't like to drink wine, or is it because of your appetite? " The shopkeeper asked.
Qin Xiao cupped his fists at the manager and said, "Manager, don't misunderstand. The wine in your restaurant naturally has no problem. It's all pretty good."
"However, I would like to treat you to a high-grade level 1 wine. I wonder if Shopkeeper is willing to give me face?"
After saying that, Qin Xiao personally handed over a large cup of wine to the manager. This was the wine they had brought.
The manager looked at Qin Xiao, then at the wine that Qin Xiao handed over. A strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
With his experienced eyesight, how could he not know what Qin Xiao wanted to do?
Therefore, the shopkeeper didn't take Qin Xiao's wine. Instead, he said." This friend of the Immortal Dao, I was going to say that you don't look like you are here to do business, but I never thought that you are really here to do business. However, your way of doing things is very special, especially - - mm, you have the courage. "
" I admire your courage, but wine is not needed in our restaurant. "
"Our restaurant has too much wine, what I often worry about is how to reduce the alcohol tolerance by a bit But I have no choice. Many of them are old partners, and it's not good to kick them. "
" So, we can only get rain and dew on them. When I see wine, I feel a bit of a headache."
" I came down from the Immortal Pavilion to sell wine here. Forgive me for not being able to continue talking with you. "
"If you still want to continue drinking, then continue If you're done drinking, then go ahead. "
" I still have some matters to attend to, so I won't be accompanying you anymore, goodbye! "
After saying that, the shopkeeper was about to leave. He didn't even give Qin Xiao and the others a chance.2
Upon seeing this scene, Lan Lingsheng and the others were dumbfounded. This wasn't a bad start, was it? Not even giving them a chance, this was too much of a blow to them, wasn't it?
"Alright, if that's the case, then so be it. Then I won't disturb you any longer. However, before I leave, I'll treat the manager to a drink. The manager isn't that unapproachable, right? "
"Look, my wine has already been prepared. It's not good to take it back, is it?"
"Just drink this cup and I'll leave without saying anything. How about it?"
Qin Xiao seemed to have expected this outcome, so he was not surprised at all. Instead, he said with a faint smile.
The people who opened the door to do business were all very smooth. Regardless of whether it was triad or triad, they wouldn't offend anyone if they could.
Qin Xiao had already said so much. The shopkeeper also stopped in his tracks and took the glass. He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, then casually returned the glass to Qin Xiao.
As expected, Qin Xiao didn't say anything else and left with Lan Lingsheng and the others.
After sending Qin Xiao and the other three away, the manager smacked his lips. "This person is quite interesting. The wine is still fine. It's not any worse than ten Chaos Source Stone per pot of wine."
"Although it's not a very good wine, it's the wine that sells the most."
However, the shopkeeper did not think too much about it. He continued to busy himself with his business.
Just like what Qin Xiao had said, they did not lack wine at all. So, no matter how good the wine was, it didn't really matter to the restaurant.
The longer the restaurant was opened, if he wants to squeeze in again... That would be too difficult.
After leaving the restaurant, Lan Lingsheng said somewhat indignantly, "City Lord, this shopkeeper is too arrogant, isn't he? He didn't even give us a chance."
"If that's the case, then how much are we selling this wine? He's not forcing us to set up stalls, is he? "
"Cough, why do I feel like... setting up stalls is much more profitable than this?" Shih Kou said.
Lan Lingsheng nodded. "That's right. If we go and set up a stall, I feel that selling two Chaos Source Stone and one pot should be easy."
"Easy to sell?" Qin Xiao shook his head and smiled. He said, "You guys really think things are too simple."
"Ten Chaos Source Stone is the price of the restaurant. How can the price outside be so expensive? Outside, this kind of wine is probably only sold for two Chaos Source Stone per pot. "
"Furthermore, those who like to buy liquor and drink it themselves will not buy expensive liquor. For example, if the wine in a restaurant is sold outside, one Chaos Source Stone can probably buy ten pots. "
"Besides, there is still a wine that is cheaper than this. A Chaos Source Stone can buy a jar of wine that weighs a thousand jin. I'm sure it can be found everywhere."
"Our wines are actually pretty good. Their cost is also relatively high, and they will be sold at a higher price."
"It is very difficult to sell this kind of wine by setting up a stall. If you want to make a better profit, you can only sell it to restaurants. It's quite difficult to sell it anywhere else."
" Of course, there's another place, and that's a large trading company or something like that. If it's a trading company, it's better to do more and it's more complete. Wine is definitely a must. But for a trading company, the demand is very large. So it's virtually impossible for us, this kind of relatively small workshop, to find a trading company to cooperate."
"If we consider all of this, our greatest hope is to sell the wine to the restaurant."
"As for our wine, selling it to the restaurant still has a certain advantage. Because the quality of the wine has a certain value, and the price is not expensive. It belongs to the area with the highest sales volume. "
"This restaurant can't do it, let's find another one."
