Chapter 610 Today's situation [Ask for a monthly pass! 】
"Senior, you have such a high level of cultivation, there is no need to pretend to be a disciple of Shushan, we will respect you." Qi Lingshan comforted.
"Why should I pretend to be a disciple of Shushan?" Chu Liang said helplessly, "If you want to pretend, wouldn't it be better to pretend to be the rest of the Nine Heavens Sect?"
When he said this, the eyes of the rest of the people became even more bizarre.
Qi Lingmu said: "Senior may not be pretending, but it's just that he hasn't returned to Shushan for a long time, and hasn't wandered around the rivers and lakes, right?"
"Indeed." Chu Liang nodded.
"Since the rise of the Red Cotton Peak, Shushan won the first prize at the Fairy Gate Conference. In the following years, it has developed by leaps and bounds, and the situation of the disciples has been greatly improved." Qi Lingmu also introduced: "Although the follow-up fairy sects also want to follow suit, they can't do it. Managed the second Cotton Tree Peak. Although the current Shu Mountain has no artifacts, the benefits for disciples are much better than those of the other Nine Heavens Immortal Sects."
"Better than Taotie City?" Chu Liang asked.
Qi Lingshan said: "When we were young, we all heard that Taotie City is the largest market in the world of cultivating immortals, but now it is about to fall to the third."
"Third?" Chu Liang wondered when he heard the words, "It's fine to be overtaken by Hongmian Peak, but who else can compete with Taotie City?"
"Xianrenfang." Qi Lingyue continued: "Since the sixth princess of the Yu Dynasty took over Xianrenfang a few years ago and made drastic reforms, Xianrenfang has sprung up suddenly."
Through talking with these three people, Chu Liang roughly understood the changes in the business structure of the world of cultivating immortals in recent years.
At first, it was the rise of Cotton Tree Peak that divided the market in the Southern Region. Taotie City didn't care about it, and even invested in it. Of course, Cotton Tree Peak also gave back a lot of dividends. Taotie City's investment in Cotton Tree Peak, in terms of income alone, must be a **** profit.
But if you count other things, it may not be wise.
Cotton Tree Peak was just imitating the model of Taotie City at first, and under the first-mover advantage, it was impossible to surpass Taotie City anyway, but later Cotton Tree Peak began to take the high-end service route.
They have cultivated a team that is good at flying swords and is responsible for door-to-door delivery. Any large or small sect registered in the Yu Dynasty or the surrounding small powers can obtain the special delivery service of Hongmian Peak. Moreover, the Cotton Tree Summit registers the needs of customers such as realm and exercises, and creates exclusive special practice programs for customers.
In the world of cultivating immortals, there are very few idle practitioners who buy a lot of expensive resources, and most of the resources are consumed by forces such as Zhuxianmen. Grabbing these high-end customers, Cotton Tree Peak monopolized most of the market, directly extended its claws to the southern region, and began to encroach on the world.
Later, some Loose Practitioners whose consumption reaches a certain amount can also obtain exclusive customized services.
In the past, when the disciples of the Immortal Sect wanted to buy something, they had to go to Taotie City for a stroll, and they found it hard by themselves. And the bigger the Gluttonous City, the more time-consuming and labor-intensive the search process will be, and there will be dangers to personal safety.
Now Cotton Tree Peak delivers directly to your home, and you can receive the items you want without leaving home. Before you even thought about what you want to buy, the letter of recommendation from Hongmian Peak has already arrived at your door.
Physical stores have been directly impacted. The shops under Cotton Tree Peak can still cooperate with it to transform, while the shops in Taotie City are miserable and closed down on a large scale.
In this way, the attraction of Taotie City to the disciples of the Immortal Sect may only be for hanging out.
But in terms of playing, Cotton Tree Peak is also doing better. They downplay shopping and enhance entertainment. Every grand festival will hold celebrations, fireworks shows, and carnival shows. They also launched their own mascots, colorful koi and mythical animal Bai Ze, attracting a large number of tourists every day.
The current Hongmian Peak is a large commercial district integrating food, entertainment and shopping.
No matter from which aspect, practitioners no longer have the need to go to Taotie City, and this great city in the Northern Territory is rapidly declining.
If there is only Hongmian Peak, it will not cause the decline of Taotie City in a short time. After all, it has accumulated so many years of background and has a huge advantage in resource collection, covering many things that Cotton Tree Peak does not have.
But Xianrenfang also suddenly reformed.
Under the leadership of the Sixth Princess of the Yu Dynasty, Xianrenfang abandoned most of the high-end market and specialized in some cheap resources, such as some highly demanded pills, talismans, or imitations of high-end magic tools. With its own channel advantages, it captured the low-end market in the world of cultivating immortals as soon as it made a move.
Blocking the upper and lower ends almost strangled Taotie City's way of life.
Gaotie City is not without struggles. The lord of the Gluttony City has already started war against Cotton Tree Peak three years ago, announcing that all shops in the city are only allowed to operate locally, cutting off the forces of Cotton Tree Peak. Competing with Cotton Tree Peak in the collection of resources in the four seas and nine states, after all, the quantity of many scarce resources is fixed, and you will not receive it if I receive it, so I will not hesitate to increase the price.
The coping strategy of Cotton Tree Peak is to launch the "Cotton Cotton Loan" mechanism for advanced consumption.
Even if you have no money now, you can come to Cotton Tree Peak to spend. Depending on your sect background and previous consumption, you will be given an overdraft limit. If it is overdue, you can also use other resources or items to top it.
In this way, many practitioners who are stuck at the pass can get the resource breakthrough first, and then pay back later. Moreover, there is no need to pay any interest, which is a great benefit, which naturally stimulates more consumption.
Of course, if you make up your mind not to pay back your debts, there is no shortage of professional "debt collection teams" in Shushan.
Relying on this hand, Shushan withstood the attack of Taotie City, which hurt both sides.
The past three years of competition have been difficult for both parties, but for a supplier like Gao Yueguo, it is definitely a good time.
Originally, they sold their Crimson Moon Grass at that price to everyone, but now the two sides are vying for it, and the price of Crimson Moon Grass has been rising every year, and they have enjoyed a lot of sweetness.
After a while, when a new batch of crimson moongrass matures, Hongmian Peak and Taotie City attach great importance to it, so they sent their respective backbones to negotiate with Gao Yueguo.
…
Listening to their description, Chu Liang was not too shocked.
Most of these development strategies were determined by him at the beginning, and he also talked with people from Yinjianfeng. Only the part of the strategy to develop the low-end market fell into the hands of Xianrenfang.
After thinking about it for a while, he felt that this was a good move.
Gaotie City has accumulated so many years of foundation that it is impossible to compare it to the newly-emerged Hongmian Peak in terms of burning money. Sending away part of the market at this time, and even actively providing strategies to help Xianrenfang develop, and attracting allies to defeat the most powerful Taotie City first, is definitely a master at the level of Wu Kangcao.
Just…
With the wisdom of my friends, it is not easy to continue the strategy I left behind. If I can make breakthroughs on this basis, there must be expert guidance behind it.
He couldn't help asking curiously: "Who is in charge of the Cotton Tree Peak now?"
"The main affairs are all in charge of the four overlords of Shushan Mountain." Qi Lingyue replied: "The one who controls everything above them is the master of Silver Sword Peak of Shushan Mountain, the emperor's daughter Feng!"
When Qi Lingyue talked about the emperor's female phoenix, her eyes lit up, and she seemed to be very envious of this kind of strong woman with both wisdom and beauty.
But Chu Liang immediately said decisively: "There is absolutely no such possibility."
He is very clear about what the master is like. If you let her defeat Taotie City physically, it shouldn't be difficult. If you let her defeat the opponent commercially... then it will probably develop into physics in the end.
You said that she was in charge of leading a debt collection team, Chu Liang believed it. She could lead the entire Cotton Tree Peak, even if Chu Liang was killed, he would not believe it.
He was about to ask a few more questions, when suddenly he heard a dragon chant in the distance.
"Roar-"
This roar was sinister and violent.
"Demon Dragon!"
The three people in Gao Yueguo immediately woke up again when they heard the sound of the dragon's roar.
"Senior, we are here to find out where the princess is. We have important matters to deal with, so we have to talk to you in detail some other day." Qi Lingmu said, staring into the distance.
Hearing the roar of the monster dragon, Chu Liang felt that his breath was not weak, and these young people might find it difficult to deal with it. And he just came out of the mountain, and he wanted to try the strength of his own dragon inheritance.
"That's all." He suddenly stood up and said, "Since we hit it off, I'll help you both."
