50: Get rich
"If we raise 500 pigs at once, won't we be spreading ourselves too thin? What if something goes wrong? We can't let the invested money go to waste, right?"
Zhang Linfeng asked with some worry, but was immediately interrupted by Wangcai.
Wangcai directly threw out a Storage Pouch, full of wealth.
"What are you afraid of? With Zhang Hai's Revered Master backing you, are you two still worried about not living a rich life in the future?"
"You two wouldn't despise Emperor-level experts now, would you?"
Wangcai tilted its head, looking at the two with what seemed like dissatisfaction.
The two shook their heads repeatedly. They certainly didn't want to cause trouble by speaking ill of Emperor-level experts behind their backs.
"So what if you lose a little money? You can spend tens of millions or hundreds of millions of Spirit Stones on frivolous things, so when it comes to doing real business, wouldn't it start with billions? If you understand, applaud!"
Wangcai's loud shout made the two brainwashed individuals clap excitedly. What it said was too reasonable! They immediately went to work, first recruiting a batch ofbuddy, and then began breeding according to its plan.
The daily tasks of caring for the piglets and cleaning the pigsties were left to thesebuddy. The feed formula was known only to the husband and wife. After reading it once, they memorized it all and burned the paper.
They felt these formulas were too important, so each of them was only responsible for purchasing half of the feed Materials. Even they themselves didn't know what ingredients were in the half the other person remembered.
Wangcai also learned this knowledge from Li Haotian, but it seemed to be useless, because that was for corporations, not for a Family business.
The couple had not separated even when they were down and out to this extent, so how could they become disloyal when they became rich in the future?
After the couple finished purchasing everything, they began feeding the pigs. They bought three days' worth of feed at once, and still had a large sum of money left.
"We really don't need this money. Let Xiao Hai's Revered Master take it back, it's too much."
Zhang Linfeng took out the Storage Pouch, ready to return it to Wangcai, but was immediately cut off by a disdainful look from the latter.
"Return what? Does an Emperor-level expert lack these two coins from you? There will be many more places to spend money later. Where are we now? Remember, making money is a science, but spending money is an art! If you understand, applaud!"
Wangcai stood up again, directing the two to go with it to find buyers and a market.
Over the next three days, it took the two to visit all the large and small taverns, restaurants, and eateries in the entire city. After inquiring, they learned that all of them had a unified supplier: the Zhang Family's branch in Tianxuan City.
Wangcai used a little money to bribe information from others. They learned the cost price of these pigs. After a quick calculation, the couple's faces lit up with joy.
The pigs they raised had a very low cost. Even if they only sold them at one-tenth of the current market price, they could still make a fortune!
At the same time, they compared their previous pig farming methods and realized how wasteful of Materials they had been before. Zhang Lanlan's mother was now responsible for the entire pork supply of Tianxuan City, but the problem was that if their prices were cut in half, they would directly lose money.
For example, if they sold a pig for 100 Spirit Stones, they would only earn 20 Spirit Stones.
Wangcai directly priced their pigs at 50 Spirit Stones each, guaranteeing that the quality would definitely not be lower than Zhang Lanlan's mother's.
Everyone expressed disbelief, and no one was willing to place an order with them, which made the couple a bit disheartened. However, they understood that these were difficulties every startup faces.
"Raise your heads! Don't let me see them lowered! Do you think restaurants and taverns are a big market?"
Wangcai looked at the disheartened couple with a disdainful yet calm smile on its face.
"The truly enormous market is the pork market for the common people of the entire Tianxuan City. I'm telling you something you don't know: in this city, there's no silver or gold used by Mortals; there's only one currency, and that's Spirit Stones!"
"Even Mortals who want to eat pork have to spend Spirit Stones to buy it!"
"The population of the entire Tianxuan City is almost hundreds of millions. How much of the city have you explored? Not even one-thousandth of it. You only know that the pork market in this area is monopolized by your former Family, but what about the pork markets in other places?"
Wangcai's words enlightened the two. Its insight and knowledge also came from Li Haotian's teachings. Wangcai directly took the two to the common people's vegetable market, and finally negotiated a wholesale price of one Spirit Stone per catty of pork.
They sold all 500 of their piglets' orders. Each pig was calculated at three hundred catties, with adjustments for excess or deficit.
They already had eighty thousand Spirit Stones in hand.
Both were shocked by Wangcai's Heaven-Defying business acumen. In just one day, they hadn't even delivered the goods yet, but had already received an eighty thousand Spirit Stone deposit!
If they could expand production and deliver the goods, wouldn't they earn even more money?
"You must remember, 'Man is iron, rice is steel, one meal missed and you'll feel weak.' As long as you sell food, there will always be a market. If you understand, applaud!"
After a day of just clapping, their hands were red. Wangcai was truly clever.
Over the next three days, they purchased a large number of piglets, began to expand production, and contacted major vegetable markets in the surrounding area, monopolizing all their pork supply business. With extremely low prices and excellent delivery speed, they quickly seized the market.
If the surrounding common people wanted to taste pork, they could only eat theirs. Although they were Cultivators, for now, they could only do this kind of business. They would have to wait for an opportunity to develop Advanced Spirit Beast breeding as they once did; starting a business requires a process!
The two people and one dog began to hire a large number of employees, while also expanding production, buying more land, and raising more pigs.
"What we need to do now is to instantly defeat your former opponents. We have successfully sold the first batch of goods, and now we must seize all of their market!"
Wangcai slightly clenched its dog paw, a shrewd glint flashing in its eyes. Li Haotian had taught it a lot about commercial warfare.
Early the next morning, signs were hung outside various shops. Passersby, whether commoners or Cultivators, fell into doubt and discussion upon seeing these signs.
"With a meat purchase receipt from Old Zhang's Farm, you can get a free newly arrived Advanced sachet?"
"Not just that! It seems you can also exchange them for these silks!"
"Holy crap! One hundred catties of meat tickets can be exchanged for a chicken!"
"One catty of meat tickets can be exchanged for an egg!"
The common people's eyes lit up as they pointed at the hanging signs. Their daily lives were usually tight, so if they could get some free ingredients or daily necessities while eating meat, why not?
What's more, the price of this meat was extremely low, even cheaper than ordinary pork.
