My Master Knows It All

”This truly makes things much more convenient for us, Sect Leader Cao really cares about us!”

Soon, someone thought of a key question, eagerly asking, ”So, do you know how much we need to pay to sell treasures at Pinbao Business Association?”

”The fee isn’t much,” replied the shop assistant with a smile. ”The sect leader said, this is primarily for everyone’s benefit, so the fee is set at one-thousandth. That means, if you make a thousand Spirit Stones, you just need to give one Spirit Stone to us at Pinbao Business Association.”

The crowd praised again upon hearing.

”Oh, so that’s one-thousandth?”

”Seems like very little.”

”Yes, it can almost be ignored.”

”I’ve always heard that Sect Leader Cao is a person of great righteousness who doesn’t care about personal gains and losses for the sake of others. Today, I’ve finally seen it.”

When the crowd quieted down a bit, the shop assistant continued, ”These two Talismans, one is a premium item consigned by cultivators in your area, and the other is a product consigned at our headquarters.

Similarly, whether at our branch stores or headquarters, we’ll ensure product quality, guaranteeing that there won’t be any issues with the goods, nor will anyone be deceived.”

The shop assistant pointed to a distant area, saying, ”Over there, there’s a notice detailing how to use our Pinbao Business Association’s browsing Talisman. You may want to take another look; the information there is even more detailed than my explanation.”

The crowd did not immediately leave but continued to ask, ”Assistant, what is the price of this Talisman?”

”Right, can we just buy one browsing Talisman instead of four?”

Upon hearing this, the shop assistant shook his head lightly with a smile and said, ”This Talisman is not charged; it is free for everyone.”

”Free?” The crowd was stunned upon hearing this. Even if it was charged, they would buy it, yet it turns out to be free of charge.

”This...”

”Sect Leader Cao is really so righteous!”

”Sect Leader Cao is truly thinking about us.”

”Indeed, though he could profit, he chooses not to. I’ve decided from now on to buy treasures from Sect Leader Cao’s Pinbao Business Association, even if the prices are higher than elsewhere, we will still choose Pinbao Business Association.”

”Pinbao Business Association’s prices are actually very reasonable; they’re not higher than elsewhere!”

”Yes, Pinbao Business Association is indeed not expensive!”

”Speaking of which, this browsing Talisman can really make things much more convenient and save a lot of time.”

”Assistant, where can we collect the browsing Talisman?”

The shop assistant pointed to the center of the hall, smiling as he spoke, ”Everyone, see, the queue over there is for the distribution of the browsing Talismans.”

The browsing Talisman became a hit, quickly spreading throughout Eastern Province, even exceeding Cao Zhen’s expectations.

He thought his browsing Talisman was just a bankruptcy version of a certain treasure, unable to place orders directly and deliver to one’s door. Although convenient, it wasn’t that convenient, so it shouldn’t become an instant hit.

Moreover, after obtaining the browsing Talisman, one must input Mana or Immortal Qi, exposing their location, so some people might have resistive feelings about it.

In the end, he realized he underestimated the impact of this purchasing method. Especially the idea of opening one’s shop, which was incredibly innovative, and now countless cultivators have chosen to sell their resources through Pinbao Business Association.

Initially, when he said the browsing Talisman was free, some questioned it, thinking that even if the browsing Talisman was charged, others would still buy it. Yet Cao Zhen insisted on not charging.

This small amount, if charged, may deter some from purchasing, but if free, then everyone would take it when they can.

The mindset of grabbing a bargain has been there since ancient times, both for mortals and cultivators alike.

When people see the browsing Talisman is free, feeling they’ve got a bargain, they take it, then use it, potentially purchasing items through Pinbao Business Association, and thus acquiring customers.

For a business, what is most important is definitely the number of users!

Do you not see, on Earth, various apps spend real gold and silver to capture clients? He only needs to give out a small browsing Talisman to acquire many customers, which seems like a sure-fire business.

As browsing Talismans become more popular, other associations begin to feel the threat.

Prosperous Trading Company headquarters.

A middle-aged man with a sullen appearance looked anxiously at an elder, slightly overweight with a worried expression, finally unable to resist speaking, ”Father, Pinbao Business Association has had a huge impact on us. Just within these few days, according to our statistics, the number of customers visiting our shops has reduced by more than half. It’s not just the customers buying items that have reduced by half, it’s those who visit our shops that have directly reduced by half.

And the customers who visit our shops are even less likely to purchase anything. I’ve inquired, and they all say they are refreshing at Pinbao Business Association, and if luck permits, they might find even cheaper items.”

Beside him, a middle-aged man resembling the previous man but without his sullen look, appearing rather scholarly, sighed gently, ”Second Brother, primarily it’s because Pinbao Business Association allows cultivators to consign and price their own items.
