271: Chapter 271 Is it because you don't love me that you won't accompany me shopping?

Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng were exchanging glances again; needless to say, this mirror must be another masterpiece of that mysterious His Majesty the Head of State.

"This His Majesty the Head of State is truly extraordinary!"

Fan Zeng sighed.

"Indeed!"

Xiang Liang was also sighing.

The emergence of such a formidable ruler in the State of Qin was a fatal blow to their cause of rebellion!

Xiang Liang glanced at Fan Zeng again; fortunately, his good friend was still working hard.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have any teammates left.

He looked at Xiang Yu and shook his head helplessly.

Xiang Liang only hoped that Brother Fan would have a way to prevent Xiang Yu from sinking into boxing and being unable to pull himself out.

After seeing the boxing merchandise, Xiang Yu walked inside.

"Hmm!"

Xiang Yu saw a poster of himself wearing boxing gloves in a prominent place.

"You are the Hegemon-King of West Chu!"

The shopkeeper recognized Xiang Yu and hurriedly pulled him aside, asking for his autograph.

Xiang Yu was long accustomed to all of this.

It was only in Chang'an City that not many people recognized him.

In the Chu Region, he had to wear a Veiled Hat whenever he went out, for fear of being surrounded by fanatical fans.

After wandering around the mall for an hour, Xiang Yu was a bit tired.

In contrast, Yu Ji grew more excited the more she shopped.

After Ji Kuang brought Xiang Yu to the hotel arranged for him, he left.

Xiang Liang, Fan Zeng, and the others checked into a hotel on the third floor themselves.

Only Yu Ji and Xiang Yu were left shopping on the second floor.

Three hours later, Xiang Yu's legs were aching.

He looked at Yu Ji again; she was still bursting with energy, leaving him dumbfounded.

Wait!

How can she shop this much!

Even someone as strong as the Hegemon-King Xiang Yu was filled with astonishment after seeing how much Yu Ji could shop.

Xiang Yu said, "Ji'er, how about we head back to the hotel first?"

"Hegemon-King, is it because you don't love me that you won't go shopping with me!"

Yu Ji said with a pained expression.

"No!"

"How could I think such a thing!"

Xiang Yu could only speak words that were not from the heart.

Witnessing the bickering between Xiang Yu and Yu Ji, Shang Ziling, wearing a purple veil, curled her lips slightly.

Her purpose in coming Inside the Pass wasn't so much to see the King of Fighters Championship.

If she had the chance, she actually wanted to meet that mysterious His Majesty the Premier of Great Qin.

If she could meet with His Majesty the Premier of Great Qin and gain his support, then her Shang Merchant House would surely be able to make a comeback!

How could she meet that Premier?

It wasn't said that the Premier would attend this King of Fighters Championship.

Although she was the leader of the Shang Merchant House, the house's influence was currently weak.

It likely wouldn't be easy for her to request an audience with the Premier.

He was the grand His Majesty the Premier of Great Qin, occupied with a myriad of state affairs; how could a weak woman like her see him so easily!

Shang Ziling decided to stay in Chang'an City for the time being.

She discovered that the urban planning of Chang'an City was different from all other cities in Great Qin.

The buildings were all made of sturdy stone.

The most eye-catching thing was none other than the boxing stadium.

After sending people to gather information everywhere, Shang Ziling learned that a large number of textile factories, weaving factories, dyeing factories, garment factories, and shoe factories had been built in Chang'an City.

These factories were not all funded by Zhao Fusu; many were established with him providing the technology and the Qin Nobility providing the money and labor, splitting the profits seventy-thirty.

These factories sprang up like bamboo shoots after a rain, which also led to a significant increase in the production capacity of Wool Sweaters.

She could negotiate with these factories to obtain sources of goods, form a merchant caravan, and sell them all over the country to earn the price difference.

Although Han Xin couldn't participate in the Great Qin King of Fighters Championship, he was the runner-up in the Sishui Commandery competition and took third place in the Chu Region theater, making him famous for a time.

The Governor of Shouchun, Jing Yue, also arranged for him to endorse boxing-related products.

Although Han Xin also had endorsement fees, his status wasn't as high as Xiang Yu's, and the endorsement fees he could get were far less than Xiang Yu's.

Han Xin was a very ambitious person; naturally, he was not satisfied with just getting this small amount of endorsement fees.

He planned to sell goods.

In addition to selling boxing merchandise, he also wanted to sell Wool Sweaters, honeycomb coal, honeycomb coal heating stoves, Toilet Paper, Napkins, and so on; he would sell whatever goods Jing Yue had, earning profit through commissions.

And his method of selling goods was also different from ordinary people.

The method he used was fission!

In history, after Han Xin's troops were borrowed by Liu Bang, he faced the dilemma of a shortage of soldiers.

He decided to adopt an unconventional method to expand his army.

Specifically, he let his soldiers go home and gave them enough silver.

Han Xin promised that as long as these soldiers could bring back more people to join the army, they would receive corresponding positions and treatment.

For example, if someone could bring back ten people, they would be appointed as a Decurion; if someone could bring back a hundred people, they would be appointed as a Centurion.

This method greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the soldiers; they returned to their hometowns one after another to recruit relatives and friends, allowing Han Xin to rapidly expand his forces in a short period of time.

Han Xin's method of selling goods was similar to micro-businesses.

He earned income through recruiting subordinates and a multi-level cashback system.

The specific approach was to set up three levels of cashback.

The first generation could get 10% of the sales volume.

The second generation could get 5% of the sales volume.

The third generation could get 3% of the sales volume.

For example, if user A develops subordinates B, C, and D, there are commissions at each level.

Assuming A recruits B, B recruits C, and C recruits D, A can obtain different percentages of commissions from the consumption of B, C, and D.

Calculating with RMB as an example: if B spends 100 yuan, A gets 10 yuan.

If C spends 100 yuan, A gets 5 yuan.

If D spends 100 yuan, A gets 3 yuan.

The more subordinates developed, the more money A could earn.

By directly developing 10 first-level subordinates, with each person spending 100 yuan, A gets 100 yuan in commission.

If each first-level subordinate then develops ten second-level subordinates, the total sales volume would be 10 times 10 times 100, which equals 10,000, and A would get 500 yuan in commission.

If each second-level subordinate then develops ten third-level subordinates, the total sales volume would be 10 times 10 times 10 times 100, which equals 100,000.

User A gets 3,000 yuan in commission.

A's total commission would be 3,600 yuan.

For Han Xin, the profit margin of the goods he priced must be greater than 18% to ensure he wouldn't lose money.

Of course, the more goods he sold, the lower the price he would pay for the goods; the goods sold through him wouldn't be much higher than the market price.

As the fission increased and he sold more goods, the purchase price became lower, and his prices might even be lower than the market price!

Han Xin used this kind of thinking to sell goods and became the top salesperson in one fell swoop, earning Jing Yue's deep admiration.
