The First Saint of Dan Dao

Chapter 729: Capture the Shopkeeper

After a while, the gate opened and a servant asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"My name is Du Shu. I have come to visit Master Yue to discuss cooperation on elixirs." Du Shu said in a friendly manner.

"It's too late, come back tomorrow." The servant said apologetically.

Du Shu was not in a hurry, and said calmly: "We are not idle people. We have reasons to disturb you at this time. It is not a big deal to inform you, but it would be bad if we delay the important event of the monk master."

Du Shu and Fang Xuan were so impressive that the servants were frightened and asked them to wait for a moment before going back to report.

After a while, the servant politely invited the two men into the yard.

In the Yue family's reception room, a muscular middle-aged man wearing shorts walked in.

"My name is Yue Dongli. Who are you two?" The man spoke in a loud voice with a sharp look in his eyes.

"Du Shu, this is my good friend Fang Xuan." Du Shu introduced.

"Greetings, Master Yue." Fang Xuan clasped his fists.

Yue Dongli saw that the two men looked unfamiliar but had an extraordinary demeanor, so he did not dare to underestimate them. He asked in confusion, "What brings you here so late at night? What are you doing?"

Du Shu got straight to the point and said, "The Yue Family Qingdanfang is a family of alchemy with a history of 5,000 years. In the past, they even competed with the Alchemy Alliance. Their alchemy shops are spread all over the southern part of Linghuang.

Unfortunately, he was unlucky and failed to catch up with the trend of the times.

In addition, the sudden rise of Wantanlou took away a lot of market share, causing Qingdanfang's business to decline.

To this day, there is only one small alchemy shop in each of the four nearby cities, which barely makes ends meet.

The situation at Qingdanfang makes Du sigh with regret. "

Seeing Yue Dongli frowning, Du Shu continued, "I heard that Master Yue has great ambitions and a vision to revitalize Qingdanfang.

Du is willing to be the shopkeeper of Qingdanfang and help it restore its former glory. "

"What good ideas do you two have?" Yue Dongli looked at the two men, speculating in his mind that there was a possibility that they were scammers.

Du Shu said gently: “Qingdanfang is facing many difficulties at present, with few types of elixirs and no novelties.

The only way to compete for the market is through low prices.

As the competition between Danmeng and Wandanlou becomes more intense, their prices are getting lower and lower.

Your price advantage is gone.

The customer flow in the four cities is decreasing day by day. If there is no change, we will be forced to close the stores, and eventually no store will remain!

The staff of your company should have realized that the building was about to collapse, and they left one after another, with a large number of key personnel lost.

At first glance, it seems that there is no way to save the situation.

But Qingdanfang is not without hope of rising again!"

Yue Dongli's interest was immediately piqued.

What Du Shu said is indeed the true situation of Qingdanfang.

He set ambitious goals in his early years and was determined to revitalize the family.

Unfortunately, each change failed to address the key issues. Instead, the economy became worse and worse, and we gradually lost hope.

Now that I hear there is a possibility of rising, how can I not be excited?

"I wonder what Mr. Du thinks?" Yue Dongli asked hurriedly.

“Most of the alchemists at Qingdanfang were trained by you, and they are very loyal to the family.

The reason for leaving was also helpless, after all, I have to support my family, right?

As long as they can see that Qingdanfang is getting better and has hope of rising, as long as Master Yue raises his hand to call for it, they will naturally come back.

Therefore, in terms of the number of alchemists, the Yue family has the confidence to declare war on the Dan League and Wandan Building!" Du Shu said loudly.

Du Shu's words were very encouraging and deeply satisfied Yue Dongli's vanity. The latter nodded repeatedly: "Of course!"

“Qingdanfang has been passed down for 5,000 years. It has a long history and extraordinary heritage. It is a rare elixir family in Linghuang.

In terms of reputation and heritage, it also has advantages.” Du Shu pointed out the second point.

"Indeed, although it is not as good as the Dan League, it is not worse than the Wandan Building!" Yue Dongli nodded again.

"Master Yue, please take a look at these pills." Du Shu laid out a few porcelain bottles.

Yue Dongli is also an alchemist and is not unfamiliar with elixirs. After a brief inspection, he asked in confusion: "They are all elixirs below the ninth grade. Is there anything special about them?"

“Although the quality is not high, the cost is low and there is ample room for profit.

With the same effect, the cost price can be more than 30% lower than that of Danmeng and Wandanlou!

A price war? Are they competing with us?

These pills will be our drainage products.

I will use them to restore Qingdanfang's reputation.

'Value for money' will be one of our highlights.

Once our pill shop has a huge customer flow and the pills can generate normal profits, we can easily revitalize the shop.

As for specific business measures, I have a careful plan!

Whether you are willing to try it or not depends on Master Yue Fang!" Du Shu handed over the decision.

Yue Dongli's heart was pounding and his head was filled with the sound of "revitalizing Qingdanfang". He quickly adjusted his mood and regained his sanity.

The other party painted a huge pie for him, so he should have a huge appetite.

"What do you want?" Yue Dongli asked.

“All management rights are handed over to me. If you want the plan to proceed smoothly, no second voice will be allowed.

Within one year, I will increase Qingdanfang's profits tenfold.

As for the return... we want 60% of the net profit!" Du Shu said.

"Sixty percent? That's impossible!" Yue Dongli refused loudly.

Fang Xuan said calmly: "Master Yue, although Qingdanfang is on the decline now, it still has some strength left.

If you don't try now, you won't have a chance in the future even if you want to.

Although we account for 60%, your profits have increased compared to previous years!"

"So in the end it's Qingdanfang that will work for you? Then why don't we just join the Dan League?" Yue Dongli looked unhappy.

"We only take the money, Qingdanfang is still the property of the Yue family!

Whether joining the Dan League or the Wandan Building, the Yue family will be completely in name only. Master Yue will not make a decision that goes against his ancestors, right?

Besides, we are not getting something for nothing.

The recipes for these pills are extremely valuable, and we will give them to Qingdanfang for use.

If Master Yue feels that ten times the profit a year is still too little, Du will make another guarantee to Master Yue.

Three years later, profits increased a hundredfold!

If you can't do it, we'll leave, and the recipe will remain with you." Du Shuxu offered a sky-high price.

hundred times!

Yue Dongli's heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

If I can really expand the family business a hundred times, Qingdanfang will no longer be unknown in Linghuang, and I will be able to give an explanation to my ancestors after my death!

"Sixty percent is too much, 40 percent at most!" Yue Dongli gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't accept it, then forget it!"

"Deal!" Du Shu and Fang Xuan decided in unison.

Yue Dongli was stunned.

Are you two playing me?

Did I overbid?

"No, you just agreed to it?" Yue Dongli asked hesitantly.

"It's not like you're buying vegetables at the vegetable market! What else?" Du Shu asked back.

Yue Dongli felt that this made sense and asked curiously, "What should we do next?"

“Sign the contract, write it down in black and white, mark the agreement, confirm it is correct, and sign and seal it.

After reaching an agreement, you just listen to my arrangements and wait to count the money." Du Shu ordered.

Yue Dongli did not hesitate and convened a meeting of the core members of the family overnight.

The two sides had a fierce argument over the details of the cooperation.

Detailed indicators are set for each quarter's revenue.

It was not until the sky dawned in the east that the specific content of the cooperation was finally finalized.

After both parties signed and sealed the agreement, the cooperation was successfully achieved.

“Close the alchemy shops in the other three cities, recall all the alchemists immediately, and focus on taking over the Scorpion City market first.

To expand the scale of the pill shop in Scorpion City, we need a big store…” Du Shu gave orders in an orderly manner.
