Chapter 542: Everyone Squat Down!
For the old master Xiao, he felt that the business with Zhang Tong was a see-saw bargaining war. But he didn't know that, in fact, he didn't have a choice.
Because after he left, a group of people from the Immortal Cultivator's Association came to promote him.
There are currently more than 300,000 registered returnees in China, and they used to be scattered all over the country. Because of the appearance of Hive City, many returnees began to gather in this direction.
Among the more than 300,000 returnees, the incompetent returnees probably accounted for more than half of the number. Most of this type of people in the foreign world have obtained the cheats of the system flow.
However, the system flow is also divided into grades and grades. The more advanced system flow is to issue different tasks at different stages of the host, and give appropriate rewards after the task is over. This kind of reward is generally not directly for strength, but for a cheat or a practice method.
Maybe occasionally some good things at the level of magical weapons will be released, but generally speaking, it will not be too much, and the host's ability will not suddenly skyrocket, turning into nine hundred and ninety-nine levels with one blow. Even if the returnees trained in this way completely break away from those cheats and return to Earth, they can still retain some abilities. This is also the most cheating method in the foreign world among the returnees who currently have the ability.
The relatively low-level system flow does not ask indiscriminately, and directly draws various powers from the returnees. And the time is very fast, basically one reward can be drawn every month. The rewards are tripled during the holidays and the like.
In just one year, these returnees will become invincible fighters in the world and kings in the world with kicks.
And this kind of returnees almost lost their abilities after returning to Earth. Not a single bit of ability remained.
In addition, most of their abilities are given directly, so they don't even have basic theoretical knowledge.
Judging from the two major non-government organizations currently formed by the hive, the Magicians' Union and the Immortal Cultivators' Union, they do not recruit these returnees who are completely incompetent and have no theoretical knowledge.
After all, it's not just that these people are huddled together to keep warm. Some people are willing to be taken advantage of to support everyone. Everyone has to work hard to make money for food. There are many people with great strength, everyone gathers together to form an organization like a chamber of commerce, and everyone makes money together!
The current predicament encountered by the Immortal Cultivators Union is the same as that of the Magician Union. That is, their products are not recognized by the market, and most people are unwilling to spend real money to buy their products.
The main products of immortal cultivators should actually be various alchemy techniques, but because of Wan Changqing's incident, the state is very strict about private alchemy. Basically, as long as you are caught, you will be locked up first regardless of the three seven twenty-one.
Then again, because of the different nature of creatures on the earth, the alchemy of many immortal practitioners may not work well on the earth. If they really eat bad people, they can't bear the responsibility.
So they also started to develop their own products. After all, Xiuxian World also has many products that can be promoted.
Of course, if you can have the same swordsmanship as Dongfeng Express, you can also try to make money by delivering express. After all, the flying swordsmanship can ignore urban terrain and traffic jams, and express delivery can become very fast. If one person does the work of dozens of people, he can earn dozens of people's money. Then the income will not be low.
"Our Immortal Cultivators Association has launched quite a variety of products! For example, knives that can perform automatic sliced roast ducks in front of customers, and immortal magic weapons that can automatically cut and wash vegetables. You can directly cut into shreds and cut out according to the settings. Cut out the flowers."
As one of the main initiators of the Immortal Cultivators Association, Wang Daochang, who was dressed like a krypton gold boss, took the trouble to introduce Zhang Tong.
Because when he came to Zhang Tong's store to promote yesterday, Zhang Tong accidentally revealed that his store is not only this small restaurant, but more importantly, there is a big hot pot restaurant behind it.
And there is not only one hot pot restaurant, there is a hot pot restaurant group behind Lao Zhang! In the future, it is planned to open no less than 20 branches in the entire Greater Huaihai area.
Judging from the investment in the mid-to-high-end catering industry in the Huaihai area, it is not a problem to open a 500-square-meter hot pot restaurant and spend 5 million. Among them, at least two million will be invested in restaurant decoration and equipment purchase.
Wang Daochang took a fancy to the big business of Zhang Tong's hot pot restaurant, especially after the hot pot restaurant expanded in size! If twenty hot pot restaurants all purchase products from our Immortal Cultivation Federation, it will be a real big deal! All use our products to build the whole hot pot restaurant with the theme of cultivating immortals.
Thinking about it, it is quite successful!
Twenty hot pot restaurants, one family worth two million yuan, that's a big business worth at least forty million yuan! Can such a business be let go? Can't!
"We can also set Feijian Chuancai."
"No, no, flying sword passing food is too dangerous. It will hurt customers. And it is easy to drop food on flying sword." Zhang Tong directly vetoed this method of passing food. While it looks cool, it's dangerous.
"We can improve it. You don't need to use flying swords, such as using a skateboard model, and then install a guardrail next to it. This will not only ensure safety, but also be cool enough. We also have refining phantom beads, which can project full 3D stereoscopic images. Although It can’t be said that there is no way to completely confuse the fake with the real one, but it can provide customers with a different dining experience when dining.”
"For example, we have the Cloud and Mist package, which can turn a twelve-person private room into the appearance of a heavenly palace. There is also a Flying Moon package, which can change scenery for up to two hours, and can simulate the scenery of flying from the earth to the moon. And both With sound and light effects, customers can watch the show while eating. Boss, what do you think of the decoration effect?"
Let's not talk about what Zhang Tong thought after hearing this. But Xiao Xiao who was standing behind him was stunned when he heard it. She couldn't help asking: "Could you also plug in the electricity for energy?"
Wang Daochang coughed twice: "Ahem, as the greatest invention of the Homecoming Association, it is actually a great creation to convert fairy magic props into usable power supply. After all, finding a power bank on the streets of the earth is more expensive than finding a piece of electricity. Spirit stone fragments are much easier."
Xiao Xiao curled her lips: "Isn't that the same as what the Mage Association said yesterday."
Wang Daochang's eyebrows twitched, and he pretended to be relaxed and asked, "The Union of Magicians?"
"Oh, it's a newly established organization in the hive. It's about the same nature as yours. But that's not important. Come on, I'll show you the store first, and you can measure it for me." Zhang Tong said this casually. It seemed that a woman wearing a mage's robe appeared at the end of the street at all.
That's right, that woman is Nana. She was sent by Old Master Xiao to make a second trial. As a result, I saw Zhang Tong taking a group of returning home cultivators to measure the area of the store.
This is going to be the first to go! Nana went back to the stronghold regardless, and told Lao Xiao and others about it.
The Union of Magicians is also counting on this business, how can it be easily let go? Everyone is a hungry wolf, so don't talk about morality and injustice. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, this is the mantra that every time traveler will know!
So when Wang Daochang took a few lower-level cultivators in his club to measure the area and plan the layout of Zhang Tong's hot pot restaurant that hadn't been renovated yet.
The old Master Xiao who claimed that he was hello-kitty without posting Weibo came directly outside Zhang Tong's shop with a dozen magicians.
He found Zhang Tong who was standing outside the store as if looking relaxed, and said directly: "Boss Zhang, does the agreement we reached yesterday still count?"
"Has an agreement been reached? I was just talking about cooperation. You didn't say you agreed at the time." Zhang Tong's tone was very soft, and he sounded gentle and polite, like a gentleman in the Middle Ages. (Zhang Tong: Were there gentlemen in the Middle Ages? Probably.)
"That's because the price you gave is a bit too low. It's impossible for us to pay all the costs in advance. After all, manufacturing a magic circle also requires costs." Lao Xiao said eagerly.
Zhang Tong scratched his collarbone: "But we are also cooperating. I also said that there will be a lot of promotion at that time. There will also be various self-media and hydrology. At least ten million or even several thousand Tens of millions of views. This is a lot of views, and we will jointly name your names. Think about it, if you want to have a real promotion with tens of millions of views on the entire network, how much will it cost you to buy it? "
"This..." Zhang Tong said nothing wrong. Moreover, Zhang Tong's store is indeed an online celebrity store, and it was the number one online celebrity store in Huaihai before. He must be very good at management, if he is making publicity, maybe it will be done.
Advertising is getting more and more expensive these days. It would cost tens of thousands of advertising fees to find a gourmet food up master with a real one million fans to make an accurate Qiafan video.
For a company that does not have any reputation and does not know whether its products are good or bad, it is the most rare to take the first step to build a brand.
While Lao Xiao was still struggling, Daoist Wang who was measuring the area and structure of the house rushed out, and he shouted at Lao Xiao: "Old Xiao! What are you doing! Are you stealing my business?!"
"Hmph! It's hard to say who is robbing whose business!" Lao Xiao saw Wang Daochang angry, but he was not afraid. Wang Daochang is also a lv3, and he is also a lv3, and the two are at the same level. Not to mention that he brought a dozen younger brothers to fight? I am completely worthless!
Old master Xiao waved his hand, and the younger masters standing behind him all raised their staffs. Although he didn't really cast a spell, he made a deterrent.
Wang Daochang took several steps back, and a younger brother behind him took out a second-hand m20 mobile phone and began to shake people, and directly posted a message in the WeChat group: "Come on, we are here by the Mage Union Help the rotten people block it! I've posted a location, come quickly!"
There was no fight, but the atmosphere of the stalemate between the two sides was very dignified. Not long after, another group of people with flying swords came from the corner of the street. However, their Yujian flying skills are far behind that of Dongfeng Express. They just fly at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, which feels about the same speed as a battery car. It can ignore the terrain, so the speed is faster than the battery car.
Seven or eight immortal cultivators who flew with swords came, and one of them panted heavily and said to Daoist Wang: "The brothers who can fly have come here first. There are still some Dadidi still on the way."
The two groups of people are just like this: you stare at me, and I stare at you. They didn't do anything, but they stood still and scolded and fought each other without stopping.
Just as the atmosphere became more and more tense, a familiar and terrifying voice came from the end of the street.
Aww~ Aww~ Aww~
A police car arrived at the scene with flashing red and blue lights. Zhang Tong smiled when he saw the police car, and secretly put the phone back into his trouser pocket. The display on the phone, whose screen hadn't turned off, said that Zhang Tong had just chatted with someone on WeChat. And the chat partner is his own partner, Jiang Hua.
"What are you doing! Lifting weights and making trouble?! Bringing a staff and a sword, what are you doing! How long have you come to the hive and you don't want to live a good life?! Squat down for me!" Jiang Hua, who got off the police car, stepped forward with his long legs. The mages and immortal practitioners present shouted loudly.
