Chapter 900: Barter, You Love Me
Although it seemed that Tian Baozong might have two choices, Ye Zan was not too worried about what choice the other party would make in the end. It is said that businessmen value "profit". Since Tianbao Sect is based on business, it will naturally have a clearer judgment on gains and losses than other sects of Taoism.
Forming an alliance with Yu Qingzong, of course, meant taking some risks, but it wasn't the only risk.
Let's not talk about how Yuqingzong is in the Shenhua domain.
It is only said that in this Moyi realm, once Yuqingzong really formed an alliance with Moyi Sect, then after Tianbaozong formed an alliance with Yuqingzong, it would be tantamount to becoming an ally of Moyi Sect. You must know that the foundation of Tianbao Sect lies in this Moyi Market. If you really become an ally of Moyi Sect, you will naturally have more convenience here.
Besides, Yu Qingzong, although due to some grievances and grievances ten thousand years ago, facing the powerful people gathered from various foreign domains this time, he may encounter some big and small troubles. However, there was basically no need for Tian Baozong to resist those troubles. The only thing they needed to do was not to stab Yu Qingzong in the back.
Moreover, Ye Zan came to the Moyi domain this time, in addition to possibly becoming an ally with the Moyi religion. He also has a great hope of attracting some partners from outside the domain through the cooperation of the Thousand Miles Expressive Network. With the Moyi Sect as an ally, and some partners from other regions, the power Yuqingzong possessed is probably enough to deal with any troubles.
Of course, the benefits that standing in a team can bring are definitely not as good as staying neutral all the time. After all, neutrality means that there is an opportunity to take both left and right, or it is up for grabs. However, as long as Yuqingzong and the Moyi sect form an alliance, neither of these two will tolerate it, and stand behind such a wall.
Therefore, there is no risk of neutrality, so it is necessary to face a lot of risks. And under such a hedge, the benefits that neutrality can gain, I am afraid it will be difficult to compare with choosing to stand in line.
Therefore, as long as Tianbaozong is not that one-sided, he should be very clear about how to choose, which is more beneficial to himself.
Not to mention that True Monarch Duobao sent someone to report the news, the news of Ye Zan's return to the Tianbaozong shop was quickly known by people from various sect shops in the Outer Domain. So, almost as soon as the news spread, people from various shops hurried over.
Due to the large number of people who came, Ye Zan couldn't meet them one by one, so he had to invite everyone to the Tianbaozong shop just like when he demonstrated the alchemy assistant. But this time, Tianbaozong also made preparations, so that everyone would not be crowded in the lobby of the shop, but in a spacious enough living room.
Although the living room has also undergone some temporary arrangements, at least everyone can have a seat.
"My friends,
I'm really sorry, I was invited by Elder Yu of the Moyi Sect before I left, so that I made you fellow Taoists wait for many days, and I hope you are guilty of a crime! "When everyone was seated, Ye Zan came out and said to everyone.
These people present, for so many days of waiting, will naturally complain in their hearts. But no matter how much he scolded his mother in his heart before, it is impossible to show it at this time. After all, the two parties he is facing now are the God of Wealth and the other is not easy to mess with.
"Haha, fellow daoists, what are you talking about? I'm a cultivator anyway, so I can't even wait for a few days. Besides, it's only a few days, so there's nothing I can't delay. Fellow Daoist, you are really serious." True Monarch Qingmu saluted Ye Zan, and said with a big smile.
"That's right, what Fellow Daoist Qingmu said is very true! However, I am indeed a little worried. I wonder if Elder Yu will invite you to go, but will you leave a few Tiangang God Refining Pills for me?" True Monarch Baiyun followed closely. Afterwards, he asked Ye Zan half-jokingly.
In the eyes of everyone in the outer domain, Elder Yu invited Ye Zan away this time, most likely because of Tiangang's alchemy. Therefore, all those who are interested in Tiangang's alchemy are actually like True Monarch Baiyun at this time, very worried about whether there will be Tiangang's alchemy.
Although on the surface, it seems that the Moyi sect is trapped in this middle-level domain, and it seems to be a lower level than those large sects in the outer domain. But in fact, no matter in terms of the strength of the sect or the financial resources of the sect, I am afraid that there are few sects in the outer domain who can compare with it.
Therefore, the people in this outer domain would never doubt whether the Moyi sect could afford Ye Zan's Tiangang Alchemy Pill. The only hope in their hearts is that the Moyi Sect will not do too much, and leave a few Tiangang Alchemy Pills for them.
"Good question, Fellow Daoist Baiyun!" Ye Zan nodded, motioned for everyone in the outer domain to sit down, and then he came to his seat, and then said: "About this Tiangang refining pill, you don't have to worry about it." Worried. Elder Yu, I have already promised that I will open the furnace again to refine a furnace for him. As for fellow Taoists, I also mean the same thing. If the thirty-six pills are not enough, I will It will be refined again."
From a business point of view, Ye Zan's words are against the way of business. This is equivalent to reducing the scarcity of Tiangang Alchemy Pill to a certain extent. Everyone knows that rarity is the most precious thing, and the value of the Tiangang Alchemy Pill, in addition to its value as a law-level elixir, scarcity is also an important part of its value.
Those who really do business will even artificially create scarcity, such as smashing one of the only two bowls in the world. The value of the remaining bowl is by no means just doubled, but may be multiplied ten times or a hundred times.
Ye Zan's thirty-six Tiangang refining pills, if placed in the hands of a real businessman, would already appear to be too many. If you really want to maximize its value, even if you don't make it the only existence, at least you have to reduce the number to single digits.
However, Ye Zan said to everyone: You can buy it with confidence, if anyone does not buy it, I will open a furnace to refine another batch. In this way, there is no scarcity at all for this Tiangang refining pill, and only its actual value is left.
"Fellow Daoists say that, but it's not in the way of business!" True Lord Qingmu said to Ye Zan incomprehensibly. Of course, he is also a "consumer". Therefore, what Ye Zan did was also a good thing for him. It's just that he valued Ye Zan more than the "benefit" he got.
"Haha, thank you Fellow Daoist Aoki for reminding you!" Ye Zan first thanked Fellow Daoist Aoki, and then reminded everyone: "However, Fellow Daoist Aoki and all fellow Daoists present here should not have forgotten it. Arrive at the transaction request."
That's right, Ye Zan's approach has indeed reduced the scarcity of the Tiangang Alchemy Pill. But the problem is, he has no plan to sell this Tiangang Alchemy Pill for a sky-high price. The trading method he proposed to everyone at the beginning was to let them exchange all kinds of weird things for pills, even if those things were worthless in the eyes of the other party.
Since it is an exchange of things, Ye Zan naturally has more Tiangang refining pills, the more things he can exchange with everyone. You just have a Tiangang God Refining Pill, and it has indeed become a unique thing in the world, and it can be sold for an astronomical sum. However, if you use this Tiangang refining pill to exchange things, can you exchange all the things in everyone's hands with one pill?
Of course, Ye Zan could also sell the elixirs, and then take the sold spirit stones to buy what he wanted from other people. However, no matter what it is, once it becomes a commodity, it must have added value. In other words, a thing is only worth a penny, but as a commodity, it may not only sell for a penny.
Therefore, for Ye Zan, instead of selling the Tiangang Alchemy Pill for a high price, and then buying those things with Lingshi at a high price, it is better to just barter directly.
"This... so fellow daoist planned it this way, but I didn't worry too much." Master Qingmu wanted to understand this, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly.
Speaking of Ye Zan's trading conditions, Zhenjun Yuan Luo then raised his own objection, saying: "Of course, I remember the trading method that fellow Taoist said before, and I have collected a lot of things from the sect these days. Come here. However, I still have some doubts, there must be a standard for this transaction, is it possible to exchange one piece for another if it is true?"
In commodity transactions, the reason why there is currency is to have a standard for the value of commodities. A cow is exchanged for a sheep. Everyone thinks that this transaction is not worthwhile, but where it is not worthwhile, it is necessary to rely on currency to reach a consensus. If a cow is worth 10,000 renminbi and a sheep is worth 5,000 renminbi, then people immediately know that one ox can be exchanged for two sheep.
But now, Ye Zan is putting aside the currency and directly using the method of barter to trade the Tiangang Alchemy Pill. So, without the standard of currency, what standard should be used to measure the value of the item so that both parties to the transaction have no objection?
Zhenjun Yuanluo's words immediately aroused the approval of everyone in the outer domain, and they all said: "Fellow Daoist Yuanluo said very well, how can I know that these things in my hand can be exchanged for one pill, or ten Can a hundred pieces be exchanged for one elixir?"
And among these people, naturally there are quite a few people with ulterior motives who are deliberately provoking everyone's emotions. Although, messing up Ye Zan's deal may not bring real benefits to them. However, no matter whether they have a grudge with Yu Qingzong or have nothing to do with them at all, they all have a heart of "watching the excitement and not being afraid of big troubles".
Ye Zan glanced at the crowd, did not speak immediately, and waited until the voices of the crowd gradually faded away, then turned to Yuan Luo Zhenjun and said: "Friend Yuan Luo asked a good question, but standards are determined by people. In the final analysis, it is for your love and my willingness. Therefore, although it seems that there is no standard for me to ask for barter, if anyone thinks that the transaction is inappropriate, they can completely not trade with me. After all, the things are in your hands , the elixir is in my hand, and I can only exchange it if you love me, so who will not grab it by force?"
"However, who can guarantee that my thing, which is only exchanged for one pill, is really worth only one pill? What if its actual value is more than ten pills?" Someone immediately Standing up, he refuted Ye Zan's words.
Faced with doubts, Ye Zan didn't get angry at all, but said with a smile: "Hehe, fellow Taoist, why don't you think about it, your thing may actually be worthless, but it can also be exchanged for a pill for me." What about the medicine?"
"This..." The man didn't know how to answer Ye Zan's question.
Ye Zan withdrew his gaze, looked at the other people, and said loudly: "I have just made it clear that there is nothing fair or unfair in this transaction. The key is that you love me. Or, you can regard this transaction as a transaction." It's like guessing a box, except you and I are guessing each other. You think the pill in my hand is more valuable than what you give, and I think yours is more valuable, so let's exchange it. If you feel that you are at a disadvantage, let's discuss it again, and if the negotiation fails, we will not exchange, isn't it such a simple matter?"
When everyone heard Ye Zan's words, they sat there and thought about it, but they really couldn't find anything wrong. Just like what Ye Zan said, the exchange is entirely up to you and I will, you don't have to exchange if you don't want to, and no one will force you. As for the value of the exchange after the exchange is completed and the things are in other people's hands, that is all their business. Just thinking about taking advantage, not thinking about losing money, how can there be so many advantages in the world for you to take advantage of.
"Fellow Daoist Wuji is right! Besides, where is the value of the Tiangang Refining Pill? If you really lose money, how can you lose it? Besides, you don't even know the value of what you own. Then The thing is to keep it in your hands, so can it really be used to have a higher value than a Tiangang refining pill!" After hearing Ye Zan's explanation, some people also wanted to understand what was in it, and immediately half-taken it. Ingratiatingly, he expressed his support to Ye Zan.
Although these words were intended to please Ye Zan, they were not unreasonable. The value of a thing in your hands mainly depends on how far you can use it. If you say that you don't know anything about this thing, then it is a piece of waste in your hands, and it has no value other than occupying space.
"Thank you, fellow daoist, for explaining this to me!" Ye Zan cupped his hands towards the man, and then said to everyone: "If all fellow daoists have no objections to my transaction request, then we might as well start the transaction here. Right. As for those who still have objections, you can watch from the sidelines and come to the transaction if you think it is suitable, and just turn around and leave if it is not suitable."
Don't look at so many people's doubts just now, when Ye Zan said to start trading, everyone stood up immediately. Looking at their posture, they looked like grandpas and aunts waiting to grab eggs at the entrance of the supermarket. Fortunately, after all, they are all cultivators. Although they are many times older than the grandparents, they don't really rush forward like that.
