Chapter 6: Strategies for Making Money
Yes
Meng Yingying, upon hearing this, immediately patted her ample chest and said with great righteousness, "Rest assured, I, Meng Yingying, have always kept my word. If we can make a profit, you will not be shorted even a single copper coin."
Chutian and Meng Yingying are about to be exhausted to the point of shock
Chutian proposed: "In my opinion, each share should be 1 gold coin!"
Chutian gave Meng Yingying a glance.
"Do you even have a brain?" Chu Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead with a dirty towel and took a big gulp of iced juice, saying, "Since the response has been so positive, we should increase our investment, such as registering a chamber of commerce, opening a hotel, and finding ways to promote our brand. Can we really achieve success just by setting up a stall?"
Who knows, let's give it a try
Meng Yingying arrived late
The moment the light bulb illuminated, passersby turned their heads in unison. The brightness of the light was intense, and the illumination was stable, far superior to biological lighting or crystal lamps. However, people could not discern what exactly the light bulb was.
One by one, the golden coins fell into the money bag
Meng Yingying has developed the ambition to achieve great things
"How much should we sell our steak for?" Meng Yingying sat in the carriage, displaying a troubled expression, "The fresh steak bought from the material market costs 5 silver coins for just one piece!"
The flavor is truly excellent
During a break, Meng Yingying ran to another stall and bought two cups of cold drinks. She handed one cup to Chu Tian and said, "Our business is doing so well that we can hardly keep up. We should hire some additional staff to increase our profits."
The Yuanli cooking method of Chutian almost solves all problems
I would like one as well
Meng Yingying picked up a piece of steak and carefully cooked it in the pan, personally serving it in front of the mercenary uncle
Meng Yingying displayed an expression of ecstatic joy: "Thank you, uncle!"
As long as you work alongside Chutian, there is certainly a prosperous future ahead
Boss, you must come often in the future, we will continue to take care of you
At the very least, there will be no more shouting about returns
Tian Nan Square is located in the city center, nearby are the Mercenary Guild, the Sorcerer's Guild, and the Alchemist's Guild, making it a very lively area
Upon hearing this statement, Chu Tian nearly spat out a mouthful of tea
Although Chutian prepared three pots for use, the level of business was clearly beyond expectations. Both individuals had low cultivation levels and could only take turns to recover their energy to cook the steaks. In just two hours, they surprisingly sold over 100 portions
The vehicles racing along the Tian Nan City highway are all beast-drawn, featuring giant lizards, giant oxen, and magical beasts pulling the carts, showcasing a rich variety that is truly remarkable
Hiss ... ...
In life, there has never been a moment as powerful as now, nor a moment as passionate as now. She feels this is the excitement of entrepreneurship, something she could hardly have imagined in the past
Tall and straight palm trees stand on both sides of the road, each adorned with large fruits. This type of palm tree is called the Sun Palm, which absorbs sunlight during the day and radiates light at night to illuminate the path. This plant serves as a streetlight for this world
I will take care of the umbrella!
Meng Yingying nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at grains: "Yes, yes, first save money, then open a store! I will listen to you!"
The price of a steak is equivalent to more than two months of normal expenses for an average person
The meat of the Warcraft is rich in nutrients, capable of strengthening the body and even enhancing one's vitality. However, it cannot be cooked without special methods, and ordinary individuals do not dare to consume it lightly. Even those with considerable cultivation are strictly limited in their intake; otherwise, it may cause harm to their bodies.
Meng Yingying was almost overwhelmed with excitement when she received the money, as three gold coins were equivalent to half a month's allowance, easily earned. She wished she could celebrate with a hug from Chu Tian, but even more surprising things were yet to come
The mercenary uncle's brows immediately furrowed tightly
This is not just the first business transaction of today, but also the first time Meng Yingying has earned money in her life, carrying immeasurable significance and value. If I were to tell my sister about this, she would surely be very happy!
What is so special about this steak that it can be sold for such a high price
Tall buildings and shops are all covered with glowing vines, shimmering with colorful lights, resembling the effect of festive lanterns, some of which even form sparkling billboards
We are going to the square to sell steak! Meng Yingying said with great ambition: "Once we make money, we will split it evenly!"
With this advanced cooking technology at hand, there are numerous ways to make money, such as selling the technology or developing a franchise chain, both of which are very promising. However, Miss Meng Yingying ended up thinking of the most foolish option: setting up a street stall
This carefree young lady is truly a rare gem that comes once in a hundred years
Two small bosses, here comes an order
The Moonlight Yak, despite being a magical beast, is merely a low-level magical beast of level 1. Meng Yingying purchased 200 pieces of fresh steak, spending only a total of 10 gold coins!
This is a mercenary who has just returned from a mission. Mercenaries are generally not short of money, and it is likely that they have never seen anyone selling beast meat at a stall. Out of curiosity, they came to inquire, and as a result, they encountered an opportunity for a free tasting, which of course should not be missed
Meng Yingying tasted success, and her courage grew bolder. Zhang Liqing returned 2,000 gold coins, deciding to privately withhold them instead of reporting, treating them as her own startup capital. As long as she could achieve her ambitions, her sister would not only refrain from blaming her but would instead take pride in her accomplishments.
Various lawns and flower beds are filled with luminescent plants
Tian Nan Square
Please pack a portion for me
This is the urban night scene of this world, half consisting of vegetation and half of the city, where the bustling cityscape perfectly merges with nature, without any contradictions.
That's all
Have you not noticed the commercial value of the fan array
Isn't that Wang Laosi from the Fierce Tiger Mercenary Group? He is quite picky in his tastes, yet he seems very satisfied. Could it really be that delicious?
Free? Since there is such a good opportunity, I will not be polite!
For example, moonlight mushrooms and night-blooming flowers, resplendent in a myriad of colors, are exceptionally beautiful
She deliberately ignored everything and only thought about selling steaks
It is so delicious, I want to tell my brothers in the group and let everyone come and have a taste
The mercenary uncle readily took out three gold coins and said, "Such a delicious item, I want to take it back for my wife and children to taste. Please pack three portions for me"
This is also good
Chutian explained: "Ordinary people would never eat monster meat. Consumers who have the ability to purchase monster meat are either cultivators or wealthy individuals; they do not care about this amount of money."
The majority of customers are mercenaries, who possess a bold character and are also very generous in their spending
Due to the relationship between the light bulb and the beautiful woman, the number of onlookers nearby has significantly increased
Have you not seen the commercial value of electric lights
Almost all the spots in the square where stalls can be set up have been occupied, so she had no choice but to find a relatively peripheral location to settle down and arrange the venue.
Passersby are leisurely strolling with pumpkin lanterns and jellyfish lights
It has truly succeeded
Hurry up!
A person as formidable as an elder sister, is she not still treading carefully as if walking on thin ice
... ...
Chutian does not oppose, but simply asks: "What do you plan to do?"
... ...
A man dressed in armor, with a longsword at his waist and an iron bow on his back, approached to inquire
Meng Yingying shamelessly shouted a few words
This opportunity is truly rare
Alright, just a moment!
The reaction of the mercenary uncle attracted a lot of attention, and immediately several people dressed as mercenaries came over to try it out, resulting in surprisingly good effects. The small stall's business instantly transformed from being ignored to bustling with activity, as Chu Tian and Meng Yingying busily served steak after steak.
This made Meng Yingying anxious, fearing that the steak would not suit her taste. The mercenary uncle did not provide any comments and immediately cut off another piece to shove into his mouth. He ate at a rapid pace, and in less than three minutes, the entire steak was gone.
Although no money was earned, gaining recognition from others is also an uplifting matter
Is there really someone who would buy it
Chutian expressed a sense of uncertainty, immediately adopting a firm stance: "We have a unique product that is in high demand, and if we cannot achieve at least ten times the profit, then it is not worth setting up a stall. Trust me, I am not mistaken! However, do not forget your promise; if we make a profit, you must share half with me"
The pumpkin lantern is actually a plant known as "sunlight pumpkin." Once the sunlight pumpkin matures, the entire pumpkin is harvested and soaked in a special solution to preserve its fresh characteristics for an extended period. The sunlight pumpkin can store the light elements from sunlight during the day, and at night, it automatically emits them, resembling a lantern when held in hand
The well-cooked steak on the plate made the mercenary uncle feel quite puzzled. Having spent many years on missions and having hunted numerous magical beasts, he knew very well that the meat of magical beasts is difficult to prepare. This girl seemed to perform a magic trick, managing to cook a portion in just a few minutes. Could it be that this is fake meat?
This is definitely correct
Meng Yingying lacks the composure and wisdom of her elder sister, the cunning and shrewdness expected of a businessman, yet she possesses an air of mystery. With the intuition of a foodie, she has already become aware of the vast market and business opportunities.
... ...
Good! Good! Good! The uncle wiped his mouth, stood up, and laughed heartily a few times: "This meat is really good, definitely worth the price!"
Delicious
Before Meng Yingying could speak, Chu Tian took the initiative to say: "Uncle, you are our first guest, and we invite you to eat for free. If you find it satisfactory, please support us more and help promote us a little."
Meng Yingying's smile was almost crooked; she had never been as happy as she was today in her entire life, nor had she ever felt as filled with excitement and a sense of achievement as she did today. It was like a lost person finding their way, discovering their own value and place; this feeling was truly wonderful
The jellyfish lamp is, in fact, a special type of elemental life form. Due to its extremely weak elemental energy, it possesses almost no combat capability, floating in the wilderness like a firefly, and it emits light every night. The fluorescent jellyfish reproduces rapidly, making it very suitable as a biological lighting fixture specifically designed to provide illumination for nighttime navigation
Meng Yingying flashed a look of surprise: "Will anyone buy it at such a high price?"
The mercenary uncle carefully cut a piece of meat with a knife and cautiously stuffed it into his mouth
Meng Yingying is a person of action, who immediately spent 10 gold coins to purchase 200 pieces of Moonlight Cow steak. She then bought some oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, took some tables and chairs along with a large umbrella from her home, and used a beast cart to pull everything, including Chu Tian, to the square
Meng Yingying has just been dismissed and has also been humiliated by Han Shaolong. She is currently at a low point and wishes to achieve remarkable success to show everyone!
First time
Meng Yingying was dressed in long clothes and pants, with her scarf tied neatly and a mask on. She felt a bit nervous, but the outcome hinged on this moment. She immediately shouted loudly: "Moonlight steak for sale, delicious and nutritious steak, one gold coin per serving!"
1 gold coin = 100 silver coins = 10,000 copper coins, the monthly expenditure of an ordinary family of three is around 20 to 30 silver coins, and Meng Yingying studies under the renowned Master Zhang Liqing, with a total tuition fee of only 2,000 gold coins for four years
Meng Yingying discovered a perplexing phenomenon; although there were many onlookers, the snack stall attracted no customers. She couldn't help but feel anxious. Could it be that not a single item would be sold throughout the night? Failing in her first business venture would be a tremendous blow!
Please go and hang the electric light properly
Is entrepreneurship really that easy?
