Chapter 465 Advanced Concepts

Watching Shuanglong continue to practice Qinggong, Duran smiled insincerely.

Kou Zhong was angry, "What are you laughing at? How can a fledgling learn to fly and succeed?"

Although Xu Ziling looked calm, he actually hoped that Duran would leave quickly. This man has great martial arts skills, but he is so frivolous. How can he be a master?

"I am not mocking you, I am just laughing at the injustice of God. Don't you think God is funny?"

The two looked at each other, and Xu Ziling spoke, "No."

"Birds and butterflies have wings to soar in the blue sky, and even flies and mosquitoes have wings to fly. But we, the most intelligent creatures, cannot fly. Isn't it unfair to God? If people were born with wings, wouldn't you need to work so hard?"

It seemed to make sense, but it sounded like he was mocking himself. Shuanglong looked at Duran with a bad look, "Don't disturb us practicing."

"Why can't humans fly? Have you ever thought about the reason?" Duran asked.

Kou Zhong was speechless. Didn't you say it before? Because there are no wings!

Because there was no response from Shuanglong, Duran could only ask himself, "That's because people are afraid of heights. Because they can't swim, they are afraid of the river, and because they are afraid of the river, they will never learn to swim."

"Because they can't swim, they are afraid of the river, and because they are afraid of the river, they will never learn to swim?" Xu Ziling murmured and repeated, and suddenly he thought of something.

Kou Zhong also had the same idea as Xu Ziling, and he said, "Because people can't fly, they are afraid of heights, and because they are afraid of heights, they can't learn to fly."

The two looked at each other and walked towards a high peak. They were going to jump from there, and if they didn't succeed, they would die!

These two guys really understood it at once, and the protagonist is the protagonist. Compared with their own apprentices, they are much smarter.

Shuanglong jumped off the cliff and successfully comprehended the bird crossing technique. When he looked around, he couldn't find Duran's figure.

"Kou Zhong, it seems that man is not that bad!" Xu Ziling said, "He seems to have come here to give us instructions."

Kou Zhong also nodded, "That man is really strange. But he must be a master-level expert, coming and going without a trace."

Duran left, just as he came lightly, waving his sleeves, without taking Shuanglong with him. Let them continue to suffer. Duran returned to Dongming Sect again at this time, and he wandered around the ship idly.

The people on the ship also knew that Duran was the master of their young master, so they were very polite. The sea ships of the Sui Dynasty, which traveled between Ryukyu and the Central Plains, were already very advanced. Not only did they have a large draft, but they were also very strong and could withstand wind and waves.

If such a ship is made bigger, it can be used for ocean voyages. It's just that the characteristic of a sailboat is that it depends on the wind direction. The ship has to go where the wind blows, which is really fatal. So the ship must follow the ocean currents, but the ocean currents also have cycles. If you want to sail freely on the sea, it's better to wait until the invention of propellers and engines.

Standing on the side of the ship, Duran saw two people dressed as merchants on the dock communicating with the guards of Dongming Sect.

Duran listened carefully and found out that they wanted to discuss business with Dongming Sect and bring back a batch of weapons from here. But the guards rejected them because Dongming Sect did not accept such individual customers.

Duran found it interesting. One of the two merchants spoke humorously, exuded confidence, and was also very eloquent. "Let them come up!"

Duran was a VIP, so the guards made way.

"Thank you, I'm Li Ji. If it weren't for your help, we would have been turned away." Li Ji was about 40 years old and ran a grocery store in Suzhou. Because of the recent unrest, more and more people came to him to buy swords and knives, so he thought of buying some weapons from Dongming Sect so that he could raise the price.

"I'm Zhang Yahan." This man was younger, only 30 years old, and was Li Ji's neighbor for many years, but his family was much better than Li Ji's. There are many shops at home, pawnshops, restaurants, silk shops, etc., so he is considered to be a small fortune. He did not come here to purchase goods this time, but to prepare some weapons for the shop assistants, just in case.

Both of them were wearing silk long clothes and their faces were clean. It seemed that they must have washed up in the hotel before coming here.

"I wonder how many weapons the Dongming Sect needs to sell?" The guard had already made it clear before, saying that the number they needed was too small. Now seeing Duran, he regarded him as the manager.

Duran asked back, "How many do you need?"

"Our two families need a total of 50 knives and 10 swords."

It's really very few. The Dongming Sect's swords and knives must be at least 100 before they will be sold. There are many blacksmith shops, but these two people recognized the Dongming Sect's brand, so they came to the door.

"It's too little!"

"Not a little, not a little, this is just our first purchase. If it sells well, we will definitely buy a hundred next time." Li Ji spoke quickly. He had been entangled with the guard before.

Zhang Yahan, on the other hand, had just taken over his father's business and didn't talk much. But the meaning conveyed in his eyes was similar.

"I'm not saying I won't sell it, but the quantity is too small, so we don't offer free shipping." Duran said.

"What do you mean by free shipping?" Li Ji asked puzzled.

"In order to ensure the safety of the goods shipped by our Dongming Sect, we will require customers to bring their own weapons for escort. However, for retail investors like you two, we will entrust the goods to Dongfeng Escort Agency for transportation. If the quantity is more than 100, we can pay for the escort, so-called free shipping. If it is less than 100, we will still entrust Dongfeng Escort Agency, but you need to pay for the escort fee, so-called free shipping."

The two and three people had a strange look of thinking in their eyes.

After several months of development, Dongfeng Escort Agency has established a logistics network in major cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. The two and three have lived in Suzhou for a long time, so of course they know Dongfeng Escort Agency.

But I didn't expect that the escort agency's business can be done this way. Dongming Sect's weapons are actually only transported by Dongfeng Escort Agency? This is the first time I heard of it.

They were originally going to find someone to transport it themselves, and they also needed to pay. If they changed to Dongfeng Escort Agency, they would pay for it themselves. But businessmen are profit-driven. If they can save a sum of shipping costs by importing more than 100, it would be good.

"Can we discuss it again?"

"Please!"

Dan Meixian used her inner strength to hear Duran's words clearly. When did their Dongming Sect cooperate with Dongfeng Escort Agency? It was not the case at all, but Duran's business mind was absolutely first-rate.

Dan Meixian knew very well that as long as the other party brought in a full 100 swords, even if they paid for the escort, they would make much more than selling only 60 swords. If the two really decided to add another 40, they would spend more money, but they would also save the shipping money that they had to spend. Both parties seemed to have taken advantage, which was a win-win situation. Dan Meixian's evaluation of Duran in her heart was a few points higher. It seems that the master she chose for her daughter was indeed right.

"We have decided to get another thirty knives and ten swords. It will be enough for a hundred."

"It's a smart decision. We can sign a contract now." Duran said, "If our Dongming Sect has new products in the future, they will be released to various cities through Dongfeng Escort Agency. If you need them, you can go to Dongfeng Escort Agency to learn about them. If you are interested in buying, you don't need to do it yourself. Just give the quantity you need and your money to Dongfeng Escort Agency. They will deliver the things to you as quickly as possible and let you inspect the goods. When you are satisfied, Dongfeng Escort Agency will give us the money. If you are not satisfied, you can return the goods, and your money will be returned to you, but the freight will be deducted."

The merchant's money does not need to be transported. For example, the Suzhou Branch will keep the money in the Suzhou Branch after receiving it. After receiving the Suzhou order, the Yuhang Branch will take out the money from the Yuhang warehouse to pay. In this way, you only need to transport the goods, but not the money, which is also a bit safer.

Everyone was stunned. It seems that Duran's online shopping concept is too advanced, and they are a little uncomfortable. It is not easy for Duran to attract business for Dongfeng Escort Agency.
