Legend of the Knight

Chapter 17

When Huang Xiaoshi saw the news of the battle record, he was so angry that he almost cursed.

A 30-level experience value gift pack, so it's gone if you don't have it.

Of course, it's not really a waste of time, there is still some experience in defeating.

No, Huang Xiaoshi reached level 16 by one kill and one defeat.

After calming down, Huang Xiaoshi probably understood.

After Wang Er took the madness medicine, there is a time limit for his madness. Killing him within this time limit will be counted as killing. If he dies beyond the time limit, it can only be counted as defeat.

"Sigh. I wasted a lot of experience for nothing, and my heart hurts." Huang Xiaoshi's face was full of sorrow and anger, and this "it" refers to himself.

If I had known about this kind of algorithm, I would have been more proactive and used the method of bloodletting attack earlier, and I would have killed Wang Er long ago.

After fighting for a long time just now, Wang Er was not considered to be dying, but he was still bleeding. It's a pity that the fighting for a while was in vain.

Huang Xiaoshi walked up to Gong Guangjie with a face full of heartache, and he stretched out his hand to help him. After taking the Zhixue Huoming Pill, Gong Guangjie's state was [seriously injured], and the state of [near death] disappeared.

Seeing the state of Gong Guangjie's head, Huang Xiaoshi confidently shook him wildly, without worrying about shaking him to death with too much force.

After insisting on shaking it dozens of times, Gong Guangjie finally woke up from the coma.

"Ah!" Gong Guangjie felt as if he had been hit by a bull, and his bones were about to fall apart. When he regained consciousness, he found that the person who kept shaking himself in front of him was Huang Xiaoshi.

"Ah, stone." Gong Guangjie groaned uncomfortably, and he asked, "Where's Wang Er?"

"Dead." Huang Xiaoshi replied, and he quickly added, "He died by himself."

Gong Guangjie was supported by Huang Xiaoshi and stood up. He looked at the mess on the ground and the wreckage of furniture, and at the corpse of Wang Er who fell to the ground with his hands covering his heart, his heart was filled with emotion.

Gong Guangjie raised his head and said to Huang Xiaoshi, "Shitou, let's run away!"

escape?
Run away from you ghost!
If it wasn't for Gong Guangjie not being able to get hurt again, Huang Xiaoshi really wanted to slap him and make him sober again.

Huang Xiaoshi had a lot of thoughts in his mind at this moment, and the last thing he said was an angry roar: "Boss, listen to me first!"

……

When the last ray of light faded from the setting sun, a group of disciples of Shennongmen came back to Shennongmen without hesitation.

Early this morning, the sect master ordered them to go to Baicaomen with great fanfare and bring weapons, but not to fight, but to create momentum, the bigger the better, and told them not to come back before dark.

In fact, regardless of the aggressiveness of the two groups of people today, neither Gong Guangjie nor Wang Er had any thoughts of mass murder in their hearts.

Because fighting in groups will inevitably lead to casualties, and now the two sect masters are just a pair of poor ghosts, how can they afford the soup, medicine and burning money.

Besides, if there is no fight, it will be good for the annexation of the other party in the future.

Both sides had the idea of ​​beheading, and they just waited for today's one-shot, and they won the battle.

There was a torrential rain yesterday, and both of them thought of the soaring river, so this morning, Gong Guangjie and Wang Er drove their disciples to the side of the river as if they had a heart-to-heart agreement.

Sure enough, as expected by the two, the soaring river water gradually subsided in the afternoon, and at this time, the disciples who had been scolding all day had no strength to rush to kill them again, and everyone continued to scold across the river, begging for the day to be over. .

Now, as the sun went down, people on both sides of the river retreated and went back to their homes.

Baicaomen is still close, the small river is only one or two miles away from Baicaomen, but Shennongmen is far away.

Dozens of people from Shennongmen walked ten miles to Baicaomen after having breakfast, and yelled at Baicaomen across the river for a whole day. His throat was also broken, and he couldn't even spit.

In the end, everyone stared at each other in silence, finally dawdled until sunset, and could call it a day and go home, which was worthy of the bounty that Wang Er was about to hand out.

The journey back was more than ten miles. On the way back, all the disciples complained and scolded the eighteen generations of Wang Er's ancestors.

It was almost at my home, when a doorman suddenly said, "Say, if we go back today, can we get this month's reward?"

"Don't think about it." Another doorman said lazily, "A few days ago, the eldest lady and the second lady took all the money in the door, and the second master was so angry that day that he almost jumped on the back of the room." It’s not like you haven’t seen the battle.”

"Oh." After saying this, everyone sighed.

In fact, Shennongmen and Baicaomen haven't paid their disciples for several months.

Baicaomen was originally poor, and it was normal to pay money for the New Year, and it was normal not to pay money, everyone got used to it.

As for the Shennongmen who owed wages for several months, the morale of all the members of the sect was low, and they couldn't get motivated to do anything except eating.

Finally, everyone walked back to Shennongmen without hesitation, and saw that the gate was open, but it was dark everywhere inside. People with good noses stretched their necks to smell, but they didn't smell the aroma of food.

"Look, there are still lights on in the hall." A sharp-eyed doorman pointed to the hall and said.

In fact, if they hadn't eaten yet, everyone wanted to go back to the room and sleep until the end.On the way back just now, everyone found some water to drink. They are not thirsty anymore, but now they are even more hungry.

"Go, go to the hall." The lead doorman yelled loudly, and then took the lead all the way. When he reached the door of the hall, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, but the doorman behind pushed him in.

Dozens of doormen were noisy at first, but after entering the hall, no one spoke, and apart from panting, there was no other sound.

The hall was brightly lit, all the candlesticks were lit, and in the middle of the hall was Wang Er's body.

The blood stains on Wang Er's body had been washed clean, and his clothes were changed into new ones. A white cloth covered his face, blocking the pain and ferocity on Fat's face.

On top of Wang Er, a thin man with a golden knife and a big horse sat, everyone knew him, this is Gong Guangjie, the master of Baicaomen.

Beside Gong Guangjie, stood a man in black. He was Huang Xiaoshi, the number one thug of Baicaomen, who everyone recognized.

Next to the hall, there were still five members of Shennongmen who were staying at home. They were full of energy and murderous, which was in stark contrast to the people who had just returned.

In this serious and lethargic atmosphere, everyone was silent, only those stomachs that did not live up to expectations made gurgling sounds.

"Everyone." Huang Xiaoshi spoke, looked at the crowd, and said expressionlessly: "Today, Sect Master Gong and Sect Master Wang had a friendly discussion about Shen Nong Baicao Sect's love for each other.

Unexpectedly, due to unforeseen circumstances, the head of the Wang family suddenly had a heart attack, and the rescue failed, and unfortunately died.

Before his death, the head of the Wang family entrusted the Shennongmen to the head of the Gongmen with tears in his eyes. From today on, Shennong Baicao will become one again. "

"Okay, I'm done. Does anyone have an opinion?" Huang Xiaoshi asked viciously as soon as he finished speaking.

It happened that a gust of cold wind blew in from outside the door, and everyone in the hall shivered uncontrollably.

That is to say, it is probably impossible for anyone who has not been beaten by Huang Xiaoshi in the past two years.

"Everyone from the same family." Gong Guangjie spoke, "Just ask, as long as I, Gong Guangjie, have a bite to eat, my family will not be hungry. From next month, all the money will be doubled!"

This sentence doubles the money, which is more powerful than the rags that seal the mouth, and it directly blocked the words of many people in their throats.

In such a stalemate, suddenly a person shouted loudly: "We are not working hard with anyone! Double the regular money!"

When Gong Guangjie heard it, it turned out that he had arranged for the insider to shout in the crowd.

This inner response finally played its due role.

It can be said that his voice had the final effect.

"Yeah, it's all about money anyway."

"Shen Nong Baicao is originally a family, and it doesn't matter who it is."

Now that Wang Er is dead, someone came out and said to give everyone double the money, who can't live with the money!
Finally, a voice took the lead and shouted: "Congratulations, Master Gong!"

At this time, all the people in the hall shouted in unison: "Congratulations, Master Gong!"

Gong Guangjie looked at the disciples who were saluting to him in the light, and his heart felt hot.

"It's not in vain that I have worked hard for many years, and finally got this done."

……

"Stone, where did we get so much money!"

After everyone dispersed happily, in Wang Er's bedroom, Gong Guangjie said to Huang Xiaoshi with a sad face.

Huang Xiaoshi shook his head with a sigh. This Gong Guangjie's business acumen and ability are not bad, but compared with the future marketing, it is still far behind.

Monopoly, no money?
Saying it doesn't make people laugh to death.

Huang Xiaoshi walked up to Gong Guangjie's desk, pointed to the house deed on the desk, knocked on the desk and said, "Tomorrow we'll go to the county seat, find a pawn shop, pawn this yard, and we can always get a few hundred taels of silver to spend." Bar."

Gong Guangjie nodded. The pawnshop is actually a mortgage usury. Generally speaking, the mortgage loan does not exceed 5% of the original price, but real estate such as houses and fields are high-quality resources that can be placed for a long time and are easy to sell. At least [-]% can be obtained Mortgage.

"And then? This money can only be spent for three or four months at most." Gong Guangjie said with a sad face.

This house is gone, anyway, it is the property of Shennongmen, but with so many disciples, double the standard money, Baicaomen has to add it to make it even, it is really not enough to feed.

"The medicine we are selling now is selling well." Huang Xiao said to Gong Guangjie, "The supply in these ten miles and eight towns is simply in short supply. Now that the entire Bashu market belongs to us, think about how many people take our medicine."

Gong Guangjie nodded, Huang Xiaoshi was right, the sales of his elixirs were indeed very good, but there was only one problem, they were not making money.

All medicines are sold at cost, and the most profitable gold sore medicine is actually a meager profit.

This amount of money simply cannot support such a big sect.

Huang Xiaoshi said patiently to Gong Guangjie: "Now that the Shennongmen market is ours, it can be said that in the Dam District of Chengdu, our Shennong Baicaomen family sells pills, and we can sell them for as much as we want."

After Gong Guangjie heard Huang Xiaoshi's words, he shook his head like a rattle, and said to Huang Xiaoshi: "Shitou, we are selling medicine, but we actually rely on people to reward us for food.

Regardless of whether it is the elixir of Baicaomen or Shennongmen, the real dignitaries look down on them, and they have money to hire a doctor.

Over the years, the price of pills has been kept too low, and there is no money to be made from selling medicines.

We are not officials, how can we really say how much we sell.

But if the price is raised, even if it is a penny or two, then all buyers and agents will have to jump up against us. "

Look at you, the price increase will only increase by one or two pennies, which is promising.

Huang Xiaoshi said to Gong Guangjie: "I despise the money of the poor. If we want to make money, we must make a lot of money."

Huang Xiaoshi rummaged around in the room, found an empty jewelry box, brought it over, and took out the pills he had just added today in his sleeve.

Huang Xiaoshi said to Gong Guangjie: "Boss, remember what I told you before?
In fact, Baicao's sales accounted for [-]% of the sales of elixirs, regardless of the popularity of sales. In fact, they made a lot of money, and they made less than a penny. "

"You mean...?" Gong Guangjie knew what Huang Xiaoshi meant.

Over the years, Baicao and Shennong have gradually formed two completely different sales strategies due to market competition and customer differentiation, targeting completely different customers.

Baicao is making small profits but quick turnover, covering low-income groups. Its medicines may not be very good, but they are cheap enough.

Shennong takes the high-end route, and its main suppliers are rich people in the city and martial arts heroes. They don't need money, and what they want is good medicine and smooth sex.

"But the sales volume is not much every year, so we can't let those people eat the medicine like a meal." Gong Guangjie said to Huang Xiaoshi.

This is a dead-headed person. When it comes to making money, he only thinks of increasing sales.

Huang Xiaoshi patiently pointed at the pill and said to Gong Guangjie, "From next month, we will launch a new medicine on the grounds that Shennong Baicaomen merged and found a secret recipe handed down from our ancestors."

After speaking, Huang Xiaoshi took out another pill, put it in the jewelry box, pointed to it and said, "This is a new medicine, the price has increased by 5%."

When Gong Guangjie heard this, he looked at Huang Xiaoshi like a fool, and said, "You think others are stupid. Just adding a box, I want to sell it for 5% more."

Huang Xiaoshi ignored Gong Guangjie. He pointed to another pill and said, "This is an old medicine. The original price remains the same. When making the medicine, we add [-]% more plant ash that has no medicinal effect."

Gong Guangjie was stunned when he heard this, what does this mean?
Huang Xiaoshi pointed to the pills in the jewelry box and said: "This new medicine is a secret recipe handed down from the ancestors. It has just been lost and recovered. It is extremely precious. When we make it, we increase the dosage by [-]%.

Now this new drug is well packaged, has a face, and its curative effect is 5% higher than that of the old drug. It costs [-]% more. Do you think anyone will buy it? "

Gong Guangjie finally understood now, and he nodded with difficulty.

That being said, there are indeed many people who are willing to buy it.

Especially for those martial arts heroes, if the medicine is more effective, they may have an extra life. They are not short of money, so they don't care about this price increase.

With the formula unchanged, it is indeed a good way to secretly increase the dose to improve the efficacy of the medicine, and it is difficult to be noticed.

But it's not over yet, Huang Xiaoshi pointed to the new medicine and said, "In three months' time, Shennong Baicaomen has reduced the price of the new medicine by 9% to give back to new and old customers. Do you think it will sell like crazy?"

Gong Guangjie nodded stupidly.

Huang Xiaoshi pointed to the old medicine and said: "Because the new medicine is in short supply, the production of the old medicine has been discontinued.

For old customers who insist on buying old medicines, we will also make limited quantities of old medicines with 2% plant ash added to them, and then give them some new medicines for free. If you talk about it, will anyone still buy old medicines? "

Gong Guangjie dumbfoundedly shook his head.

"That's the end of it." Huang Xiaoshi said, "In this way for up to three months, our drug price can be increased by 4% compared to the original. Isn't this money earned?"

After a while, Gong Guangjie slapped the table so loudly that all the candles fell on the table.

When Huang Xiaoshi picked up the candle and secured it again, he saw Gong Guangjie's face flushed under the light of the candle.

"Stone, you are a fucking genius!"

Although Gong Guangjie often praised Huang Xiaoshi as a genius during this period, the meaning was progressive each time.

It was because Gong Guangjie was such a rough man, he really couldn't think of any other better words.

How much more money can you make if the price of medicine is increased by 4%?That's not 4 percent.

In the original price war, various costs were suppressed as much as possible. Even for Shennongmen, 9% of the money they sell for a pill is cost, and 1% is small profit.

This 1% profit is still gross profit, and the net profit is almost close to 0.

Not to mention Baicaomen, they don't even make this small profit of 1%, they only charge the cost price.

But if the drug price is increased by 4%, then the profit will skyrocket from the original 1% to the current 5%, which is equivalent to 5 times the previous profit.

This, this is really hard not to make a fortune!
Later, during the implementation, the actual situation was more smooth than Huang Xiaoshi's plan, and the market was full of applause. The buyers all said that the secret recipe handed down from the ancestors was really overbearing, and the effect was just good.

On the other hand, the doorman's double money was obtained smoothly.

Not to mention that the drug price of the original Baicao remained unchanged, and the reputation of Shennong Baicaomen among the people is like a rainbow.

There is no suspense. In the second month, Shennong Baicaomen's assessment was "excellent", which already met the qualifications for teaching.

After that, the angel disappeared.

It is not surprising that it is not possible to get there in a day or two from Central Shu to the Western Regions, and then back from the Western Regions.

By the end of the year, Shennong Baicaomen, which has never paid dividends, will pay dividends.

That day, under Huang Xiaoshi's suggestion, Shennong Baicaomen piled hundreds of catties of copper coins in the yard, and there were at least a thousand stockholders and people from all over the world to watch the fun, blocking the original open space outside Baicaomen. It's leaking.

After Gong Guangjie talked for a long time, Huang Xiaoshi announced a few things.

First, because Shennong Baicaomen has more industries, the assets of the entire school are more valuable.

A large area of ​​Shennongmen's assets has been taken over. Those are good lands that are fat and oily, and there is such a large piece of good houses.

Huang Xiaoshi estimated the price a little lower. The current total price of Shennong Baicaomen is 2300 taels, and the total shares are 2 shares.

Therefore, the current year-end dividends are divided according to 2 shares.

These simple people didn't have any concept of equity, so relying on Huang Xiaoshi, an economic hooligan, to fool him, he casually increased the number of shares by ten times, which in disguise made everyone's share dividends shrink by ten times.

Then, Huang Xiaoshi announced to everyone the performance of Shennong Baicaomen this year.

The results reported by Huang Xiaoshi made some country bumpkins who had no concept of numbers in their minds confused. They only had one concept in their minds: Gong Guangjie's turn (times come and go), and Baicaomen has made a fortune!

In the end, it is the accountant who takes the list of shares and names the money.

What made everyone take a deep breath was that Shennong Baicaomen didn't bother to count the copper coins one by one. They directly poked the pile of copper coins with a dustpan, put them in baskets, and then threw them on the large scale to weigh them.

The original copper coins were thinner than the previous ones due to the wear and tear of circulation. In this way, there may be dozens of copper coins for every thousand Wen of red.

The faces of the stockholders almost died of laughter.

After this, Shennong Baicaomen became famous.

……

"Holy Envoy, this is the offering for this month." Gong Guangjie pointed to the large pannier full of silver on the ground with a smile, and said to the Holy Envoy with a warm smile.

The envoy nodded in satisfaction. Although Shennongmen would give him some small money from time to time, Baicaomen let his performance directly reach the top. This even attracted the attention of the leader, and he might be promoted soon.

The envoy said to Gong Guangjie who was smiling coquettishly: "Since your offerings are not bad all the time, call him over."

With Gong Guangjie's gesture, Huang Xiaoshi, who was leaning against the door, walked over listlessly.

"Holy envoy, this is the kid." Seeing Huang Xiaoshi's listless look, Gong Guangjie punched Huang Xiaoshi's back hard, straightening Huang Xiaoshi's back straight. The envoy said: "This kid is a martial arts prodigy!"

"Come on, give me a hand." The envoy stretched out a hand to Huang Xiaoshi.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaoshi also stretched out his right hand, and when the two palms were pressed together, the envoy suddenly exerted force, and Huang Xiaoshi was pushed back several steps.

The envoy shook his head and said, "No, no. I can't do this man."

After finishing speaking, the envoy stood up with his hands behind his back, and walked away. Gong Guangjie ordered people to follow up with silver on their backs, while comforting Huang Xiaoshi in a low voice: "Shitou, don't be discouraged. You are still so young. Wait for a few more years to eat, and you will definitely grow up in the future." Chosen by the Holy Messenger."

Huang Xiaoshi smiled casually and didn't care.

Just now, he deliberately didn't exert any force in the hand.

What a shit holy envoy, a guy who is only level 20.

Although it is as ridiculous to use martial arts to measure positions within Tianlongjiao as to use education to measure positions in enterprises, in most cases, martial arts and education are too low, and it is impossible to occupy a high position in such a large group.

If you followed him, there would be no future.

I, Huang Xiaoshi, have my own way of learning martial arts.
