Chapter 321: Launch of Milk Subscription Service, Pots of Juice, and the Upcoming Pokémon Marathon!

Not to mention the Salt Stone Giant's talent that is very suitable for the team's play style. It can be used as the first lesson after the start of school to welcome Nimo and others who have returned from the Galar region, and by the way, it can be used to welcome Shinji who will most likely be recruited by Ye Ci and Clavel to work for him.

At that time, let them compete to see who can defeat the Salt Stone Giant who is carrying leftovers and has become crystallized first.

As for the move combination, it is almost like spell, salting, self-regeneration, defending, iron wall, wide-area defense, attack, etc.

The properties of crystallization can be more varied, such as Crystal Ghost, Crystal Steel, Crystal Water, Crystal Poison and even Crystal Fairy are all good, but it costs a little money.

But by then, everyone will definitely smile that the battle makes me happy, right?

Thinking of this, Luo Mu smiled even more, but all these ideas still need to be based on the fact that the Salt Stone Giant can successfully evolve into the Salt Stone Giant within this month.

Although the hope is slim, maybe after adding the soil of the Silver Mountain Range, the growth rate of the Saltstones, which have better nutrition and energy, will be much faster?

Luo Mu skillfully collected the rock salt produced by the Saltstones. Just the spray alone was equivalent to the accumulation of a week in the Saltstone Treasure period. Even if this consumed most of the rock salt stored in the Saltstones, the output was still extremely considerable.

After a little calculation, Luo Mu was surprised to find that according to the current output, the value of the rock salt produced by the three Saltstones in one month is about equal to 0.8 Luo Mu's monthly salary.

If they evolve again

Hiss, I don't dare to think about it anymore!

Luo Mu vaguely understood why many people didn't take trainers as their main job. It's really that this profession doesn't make money as fast as other professions!

Either work hard to complete tasks, like Luo Mu before, most of the money is invested in feeding Pokémon and supplying resources, or like the undefeated champion Dandi in the Galar region, the champion cloak behind the back is printed with advertisements to earn advertising fees.

Even Xiao Qian, whom I met not long ago, regards the Big Milk Can Farm as her main business. I heard from her that the monthly salary of a gym owner is lower than Luo Mu's current salary. That is, the gym owner resources provided by the alliance and the tax reduction policy are more attractive.

Speaking of tax reduction

While interacting with Hu Hu and Yan Shilei, Luo Mu thought about the issue of taxation.

Basically, when the income reaches a certain level, the alliance will collect a certain amount of tax, and use this part of the tax to maintain the operation of the alliance.

Although Luo Mu has retired as a champion trainer, his honor will not disappear.

At present, the income of the farm and the income of his own teachers have not reached the upper limit of the reduction, so he has basically not worried about not collecting taxes.

But when the various businesses of the farm develop and the income soars, taxes will definitely be levied. Luo Mu thinks this is insignificant. The alliance maintains the operation of this area, and it is natural to collect taxes reasonably. He does not object.

However, he seemed to have heard recently that when Ye Ci was promoting the development of the Padiya region, he intended to implement the tax reduction quota for gym owners in cities, which could be superimposed with other quotas, so as to increase the number of gyms in each city and develop regional strength.

Just like in the MUJI animation, in addition to the eight officially recommended gyms, there are many gyms of all sizes in other cities, which can also issue badges for participating in the alliance conference. After all, a region does not only have those cities in the game.

And Pingdie Town just happens to have no gyms. If you want to further reduce taxes, there is no problem for Luo Mu to establish a gym in Pingdie Town. Maybe Ye Ci will approve it the next second after submitting the application.

Yes, Ye Ci, thinking of the miserable situation of Brother Qingmu, Luo Mu, who was touching the slippery head of the two pots like a turtle, trembled and felt that it would be better to pay some taxes to save his life than to become Ye Ci's subordinates and be exploited by her.

Even if Luo Mu really wanted to open a gym, he would probably be a hands-off boss, letting Zhihuixing act as the acting gym leader every day to accept challenges from new trainers, and even bring back some Gardevoir maids and Aledo butlers from outside, so that they can take turns to take shifts with Zhihuixing.

Retracting his hand that was touching the heads of the two pots, Luo Mu sighed. Instead of thinking about these things, he might as well go back to Zhihuixing to talk about opening up the order of fresh Moo Moo milk. Intuition told Luo Mu that this business might take off.

The rock where the pots lived was moved back from the wild by Swampert not long after. When Luo Mu saw Swampert carrying a huge rock that was many times larger than his body on one arm, he was still a little shocked even though he had long been accustomed to Swampert's huge strength.

The rock was placed in the middle of the fruit forest, where there was a spacious place to put the rock, and the branches and leaves of the fruit trees extended to a certain extent to block the wind and rain.

In fact, when Hu Hu siblings arrived at the orchard full of fragrant fruits, they were dazzled and felt like they had come to the country they had always dreamed of.

Not only were the high-quality fruits that were about to mature completely within their sight, but there was also the huge rock that was very much to their liking. All of this made Hu Hu siblings' favor for Luo Mu, who had already saved their lives, soar, and they were also full of gratitude for Suicune's arrangement.

"Do you need me to ask other Pokémon to help you hollow out the rock?" Luo Mu looked at the two Pokémons who were happily walking around the huge rock, and then his eyes fell on the Swampert who was eager to try. "Well, Swampert, if you punch it, the huge rock may crack directly. Forget it."

"On the contrary, Mimikyu, Blue Blade and Windy Dog should be able to hollow it out quickly."

Hearing this, Swampert, who was eager to try and waved his fist, suddenly drooped his head in disappointment.

Luo Mu was right. It almost forgot that it had really punched it. It had been searching for a long time in the wild to find a big rock with a good appearance and the right size. It was either directly broken into slag or split into several pieces.

"It's okay, it's okay. You carried such a big rock back to the farm. Pokémons have already appreciated your kindness. They did a great job!"

Luo Mu touched the head of Swampert, who looked like a lost big dog, with a strange expression.

Speaking of which, before the time travel, when the Pokémon games had not yet been fully localized in Chinese, Swampert was translated into a big water dog by folk translators, and Water Leap was translated into a small water dog.

Fortunately, Swampert was only depressed for a moment before he regained his spirits, waving his powerful arms and walking towards the Thunder Lake.

In order to help Huhu and the others find suitable rocks, it has not practiced next to the huge wet rocks today.

After Swampert left, the Huhus came to Luo Mu as if they had thoroughly visited their new home. The blue Huhu sister also demonstrated their ability to dig holes to Luo Mu——

Both of them learned the digging skills, and they just needed to make this "original unpolished jade" into their new home.

Since Hu Hu said so, Luo Mu no longer insisted, but told them to pick some fruits they thought were suitable from the fruit trees and store them at home after the new home was built. After the corks customized by Luo Mu according to the size of the holes in their shells arrived, they could start to try to ferment the fruits and make juice.

If you feel bored, you can also go to the apple forest next to it to find tropical dragons and fruit gnawers to make friends. The apples ripened by fruit gnawers taste very good.

After Hu Hu and his sister nodded to indicate that they remembered, Luo Mu, who had settled them, did not stay and went straight back home. He called Zhi Huixing to discuss the possibility of expanding the milk subscription business.

The final discussion result was feasible. Zhi Huixing would occasionally go to Pingdie Town for a walk. He could see that most families bought Moo Moo milk shipped from other cities. The loading and unloading, transportation and sales time in the middle were far from being called Moo Moo fresh milk.

The population structure of Pingdie Town is very healthy, with the elderly, children and adults maintaining the best ratio, which also means that the "Moo Moo Fresh Milk" sign that Luo Mu and Zhi Huixing came up with may be very effective.

In the supermarket, a bottle of 750 ml Moo Moo milk is sold for 500 Alliance coins. Considering its average quality and not the freshest Moo Moo milk, this price is actually expensive.

Luo Mu plans to purchase a 750 ml glass bottle in bulk for 20 Alliance coins.

After calculating the price of a glass bottle filled with Moo Moo Fresh Milk, Zhi Huixing thinks it is reasonable to charge 550 Alliance coins per bottle plus 50 Alliance coins for a single delivery fee.

Four of the five large milk cans are still in sub-adult status, and the milk production is less than that of adult large milk cans, about 15 liters a day.

After Zhihuixing's calculations, including the daily consumption of Pokémon on the farm and the consumption of various foods made by Luo Mu, the only big milk tank with the "herbivorous" characteristic produced 25 liters of Moo Moo Milk. If the remaining Moo Moo Milk is sold, if it is fully ordered every day, excluding the negligible cost, the daily income is enough to reach more than 45,000 Alliance Coins!

When they got this number, Luo Mu and Zhihuixing looked at each other and took a breath.

Good guy, now my salary for a month is not even as good as the five big milk tanks at home.

Thinking of the dozens of big milk tanks in Hanze and Xiaoqian's ranch, Luo Mu realized it.

It turns out that rich men and rich women are around me.

As for the distribution of Moo Moo Milk after the milk ordering service is opened, Luo Mu and Zhihuixing both think that they can make good use of the resources at hand.

Instead of letting Arcanine run all day long, it is better to let the three-haired steel armored crows, who are under Moltres, do the delivery after systematic training.

The reward for the delivery can be the extra Moo Moo Milk and tree fruits every day. These foods with extremely high energy and nutritional content are the best reward for their wild Pokémon.

After completing this series of plans, Luo Mu and Zhihuixing looked at each other and saw intoxication in each other's eyes.

That was the pride of the genius idea they came up with.

Before ending the topic, Luo Mu seemed to remember something and quickly added: "However, if you let Blue Jay and Steel Armored Crow do the delivery, you must be careful of the Pokémon of the Little Blacksmith race."

"Little Blacksmith?"

There was a sense of confusion in the telepathy transmitted by Zhihuixing. It did not recognize this kind of Pokémon.

After Zhihuixing took out the tablet and looked up the information, it showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

"Little Blacksmith is fine, it is the one being bullied. The main problem is with the Skillful Blacksmith and the Giant Blacksmith. The Skillful Blacksmith attacks steel attribute Pokémon to collect the metal on them, and the Giant Blacksmith can easily swing a huge hammer of more than 100 kilograms to hit rocks and attack Steeljaw, stealing their armor."

"Master Shi, they are tough. If they are shot down during flight, not only will Moo Moo Milk be broken, causing delivery delays, but Steeljaw may also be in danger."

Luo Mu nodded in agreement, and was very satisfied with Zhihuixing's speed in collecting information, and added another sentence.

"Fortunately, the small blacksmiths are more distributed in places like Xueza Town. There are almost no traces of them near the novice village of Pingdie Town, so there is no need to worry too much."

"That's great." Zhihuixing nodded, thinking, "Since establishing contact with the farm, the malnourished blue jays in the Sanmao tribe have successfully evolved one after another after getting enough food. There are almost ten steel armored jays. If they are targeted by the giant blacksmiths, it will be a disaster."

Luo Mu nodded slightly and concluded: "Then it's settled. Prepare to start the milk subscription business. The steel armored jays led by Sanmao will deliver it and pay them appropriate rewards.

Although we want to start the milk subscription business, how to promote this business is still a problem.

Generally speaking, publicity is nothing more than three channels.

First, online 1. Promotion.

Promotion through flyers, billboards and other means. This promotion method is generally suitable for those who are just starting out and are not going to take a big step at the beginning.

2. Internet and TV promotion.

Placing advertisements on various websites, inserting advertisements during TV programs, and even inviting celebrities to endorse their own products, and inserting built-in soft ads in popular programs are all classified as this promotion model.

For example, if Luo Mu wants to expand the customer base of the farm and expand the business of Moo Moo Fresh Milk, he can even spend a sum of money to invite the dazzling model Xiao Juer in the Unova region to endorse her on the catwalk.

Leave the name "Luo Mu Farm" on Dan Di's champion cloak.

Invite the well-known celebrity Caroline in the Kalos region to be the title endorser.

Or let a live broadcaster like Qishu eat rice, and directly when she updates the video or broadcasts live Hardcore Insertion

But this publicity model is not only a problem of taking too big a step, the endorsement fee is not a small amount. At least now the farm has not even rushed out of Pingdie Town, so this method is not considered for the time being.

3. Invisible publicity methods.

This is basically to attract customers through word-of-mouth reputation and the influence of oneself and the farm. It must be combined with the above two methods to have a significant effect.

Luo Mu thinks that in addition to hiring people to distribute flyers in Pingdie Town, it is enough to promote from some activities that will only spread in Pingdie Town.

Fortunately, this opportunity came soon.

On July 6, Luo Mu went to the market to purchase supplies as usual and prepared for the development of the milk ordering business. He heard something from Grandma Juzi.

At the end of this month, the mayor of Pingdie Town took the lead in organizing the annual The Pokémon Marathon held in the town has gradually opened registration.

On the day of the conference, residents of Pingdie Town, owners of surrounding farms and ranches, and even trainers who are traveling and passing by will sign up for this event to select the "Mount Pokémon with the strongest endurance". The winner will receive the "Endurance Medal" from the mayor under the attention of most people in the town.

Luo Mu is not interested in the "Endurance Medal" or becoming famous in the Pokémon Marathon Conference, but he is very concerned about the attention of the whole town at the award ceremony.

If you can win the Pokémon Marathon Conference, and say "The Pokémon's endurance is so strong because it drinks the fresh Moo Moo Milk produced on the farm, and the order service is now open" at the award ceremony, the publicity effect will not be faster than standing in several corners of the town and repeatedly handing out flyers! ?

Moreover, this Pokémon Marathon Conference tests the "endurance" of Pokémon. In this regard, there happens to be a Pokémon in the farm that has not performed for a long time and is very suitable for this conference.

Of course, even if speed is a test, Luo Mu has Dragonite and Moltres in the air, and on land, there is Arcanine who can use super-speed moves and is enough to leave the dust behind.

I was just worrying about a better way to promote besides handing out flyers, so isn't this opportunity here?

In the remaining half a month, I can make some preparations before the business starts, such as training the Steel Crows and the Sanmao tribe to recognize the road, stockpiling containers, and trying to make qualified dairy products to promote them at the conference.

There is also a set of automated milking equipment to purchase or customize to ensure that sufficient Moo Moo fresh milk can be prepared every morning.

There is still a lot to do.

On July 7, Luo Mu officially began to prepare for the milk ordering business.

The purchase of glass bottles was easily negotiated. Although Luo Mu did not want a large number, he won by being persistent. His identity as a champion trainer was also known to others through some subsequent words, which made many residents of Pingdie Town naturally trust him, which also contributed to this stable business.

It was because of this trust that Luo Mu did not slack off in his preparations. While striving to make money, he also brought more benefits and convenience to the residents of Pingdie Town.

As a time traveler, Luo Mu knew how important the "first impression" was in publicity. Just like the fancy titles and eye-catching publicity pictures on the Internet before the time travel, it was necessary to attract the attention of customers to a certain extent in order to obtain a steady stream of customers.

Just an empty glass bottle filled with a bottle of Moo Moo fresh milk would only make people think that it was a three-no product and a little unreliable.

But if some appropriate packaging is added, it will have a very significant effect, and even make customers recognize your brand and make repeat purchases.

Although Luo Mu only plans to open a daily milk ordering business and has no plans to put it on the shelves of various supermarkets and stores to compete with big brands in other cities, it is best to do this kind of work to the best of its ability from the beginning.

Simply put, it is to put a "label" unique to the farm on the farm's Moo Moo fresh milk.

After Luo Mu and Zhi Huixing referred to a lot of information and some ready-made labels of Moo Moo fresh milk brands, the "label" unique to Luo Mu Farm's Moo Moo fresh milk was born through the production of Zhi Huixing, who also knows a little about advertising design.

In terms of drawing, Luo Mu found Yasaku with his own connections and asked the eldest son of the dragon trainer family to work with Kosa, a very famous artist in the Padia area and the owner of the Shenbo Town Gym, to help him draw a picture for printing on the label.

The painting is very simple, because it is a label attached to a glass bottle. In the limited space, the two painted five Q-version milk cans with a little bit of their style, plus the artistic font "Luo Mu Farm" and the majestic-looking Roentgen cat head next to it.

If the fans of Basho and Kosa knew that they actually painted for a small farm glass bottle, they might run thousands of miles to Pingdie Town just to buy a bottle of Moo Moo fresh milk.

So you have to have some background and connections when you go out.

While busy preparing for the milk ordering business, Luo Mu naturally did not forget the crops planted in the farming area not long ago.

The watermelon field of Aindoak impressed Luo Mu, so after returning to Padia from the Unova region, Luo Mu asked Chongni Draft Horse and Hualiao Huanhuan to open up a new field in the farming area, specifically for growing watermelons.

Under the nourishment of Victini's strengthening + flower therapy ring and the special green grass field taught by Tapu Moo, ordinary crops have gone through several growth stages in just one month and matured.

When he just returned to the farm from the Johto area, Luo Mu was busy dealing with various things and had no time to see the watermelon field. After the labeling matter came to an end and he had some free time, Luo Mu took Roentgen Cat, Victini and others to the watermelon field near the farming area.

When he saw the watermelon field with his own eyes, shock spread in his heart.

The watermelon vines in the field were intertwined and swayed gently in the breeze. The watermelon flowers that were blooming when Luo Mu left had now turned into round and huge watermelons, and the smooth jade-like surface shone in the sun.

Roentgen Cat raised his head and sniffed, and the tip of his nose was full of the fragrance of the watermelon that was about to mature. As steady as it was, it couldn't help but imagine the sweetness and juiciness of the watermelon flesh.

Looking at the familiar melon field, Victini's memories were brought back.

It remembered the melon field in the orchard near the Earth Sword Castle of Aindoak.

Those were the few happy memories it had in the past thousand years. In the hot summer, it enjoyed the brilliance of the night sky with its wild Pokémon companions and sat together to enjoy delicious watermelons.

"Tini!"

Victini cheered and rushed into the melon field with its friends. With a proud look on his face, he helped them pick the watermelons based on his experience.

Seeing this, Luo Mu showed a helpless smile and shouted, "Don't worry, Zhihuixing said that the watermelons will take a few days to ripen!"
