Chapter 265: Massive Purchases (1/2)
If this is really possible, the herb-picking trip is not completely hopeless.
Thinking of this, Lin Mu smiled faintly.
"Then let's work hard and try to get there as soon as possible!" Gu Yun said with a smile.
Lin Mu smiled and said, "Okay. I'll go back and prepare now."
He didn't say hello to Gu Yun, but got up and pushed the door open to leave.
After leaving Wufangju, Lin Mu went straight to Qianbao Pavilion without any hesitation.
As soon as he entered the store, the waiter came up with a smile: "Sir, what do you need?"
Lin Mu smiled faintly and said, "Do you have Seven Star Paper here?"
"Yes!" The waiter smiled and said, "How much do you want?"
Lin Mu smiled and said, "What's the price?"
"Three hundred low-grade spirit stones for a dozen!" The waiter answered fluently, obviously very familiar with this.
"Three hundred?" Lin Mu couldn't help but say, "So expensive!"
The waiter smiled and said, "Talismans are selling well now, and the price of Seven Star Paper has naturally risen. If you come a month in advance, you can buy a dozen for only 200 low-grade spirit stones."
Talismans are selling well, and the price of Seven Star Paper has also risen!
Lin Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly. This trend of talismans was caused by him.
Now it's like shooting himself in the foot.
But he can't help but buy it.
The store is in short supply of talismans, and the Seven Star Paper has been used up. Lin Mu now has no large amount of spiritual fields to plant Seven Star Grass. If he wants to continue making "Explosive Flame Talisman", he can only buy Seven Star Paper.
Even if the price of Seven Star Paper has increased now, there is no way.
Reading people's expressions is the most basic skill for every waiter. Seeing Lin Mu's embarrassed expression, the waiter smiled and said, "Don't feel that you are at a disadvantage! The situation of talismans is very good now. Everyone wants to get a share of such a profitable industry. In less than two months, the price of Seven Star Paper will definitely rise again. If you don't buy it now, it will be more expensive!"
Lin Mu looked at the waiter and smiled, "You are good at doing business. You are so eloquent that I am moved by your words."
The waiter smiled and said, "It's not that I can say it, it's really the truth."
Lin Mu pondered for a moment and said, "In this case, as you said, give me three hundred dozen!"
"How much?" The waiter was shocked and asked again.
"Three hundred dozen!" Lin Mu smiled and said, "Don't you have so many in your store?"
"Yes! Yes! This must be available!" The waiter said hurriedly, "I'll go get it for you."
After speaking, he ran to the back of the store with a smile on his face, and he was already smiling from ear to ear.
Three hundred dozen Seven-Star Papers, one dozen for three hundred low-grade spirit stones, this is a big business!
Ninety thousand low-grade spirit stones!
He can get a 1% commission on these spirit stones. Although the proportion is small, the business is too big. With a 1% commission, he can make nine hundred yuan at once!
Nine hundred yuan is enough to buy a very good medium-grade magic weapon.
Lin Mu sat at the counter with a smile on his face and waited.
Three hundred dozen Seven-Star Papers, one dozen for one hundred sheets, that is thirty thousand sheets!
Thirty thousand Seven-Star Papers should be enough to support the store for a while.
Spending spirit stones to buy Seven-Star Papers, the production cost is also much higher.
Three low-grade spirit stones for one Seven-Star Paper, if it is made into a low-level "Fire Bomb Talisman", it is tantamount to a waste of resources. One "Fire Bomb Talisman" can only be sold for five or six low-grade spirit stones, and one Seven-Star Paper costs three low-grade spirit stones. If you add the cost of buying the talisman pen and purple sand, it is difficult to make anything.
The input and the return are not proportional, so it is better to make the "Explosive Flame Talisman" with all his strength.
However, Lin Mu has other plans.
He is now working hard to improve his strength so that he can be more confident in the herb-collecting trip.
Making talismans is too time-consuming, and it is difficult for him to do it himself.
It is too difficult to open a store with only one or two people.
If it is a small business, it is fine. Lin Mu's current profit is not much less than those big stores.
The store has a huge demand for talismans. Only he, Lin's mother, and Yunmeng make talismans. I am afraid that they will be busy all the time and never have peace.
Lin Mu plans to let the fifty disciples under his door help and give them appropriate rewards.
Making talismans is one of them.
With the help of fifty disciples, his life will be easier in the future.
Of course, among the fifty disciples, there will definitely be some who are unwilling to do this business, and Lin Mu does not expect it.
He is satisfied if half of the disciples are willing to make talismans.
Twenty-five people make talismans, which is enough to supply the needs of the store.
However, it is not easy to train a talisman maker. In the early stage, Lin Mu will inevitably waste a lot of spiritual stones.
But there is no way. Only with investment can there be gains.
While Lin Mu was thinking, the waiter walked out from the back of the store with a smile on his face.
"You came at the right time." The waiter handed over a storage ring and said with a smile: "There are only 320 dozen Seven-Star Paper in the store now. Now that you have bought 300 dozen, I estimate that within half a month, the price of Seven-Star Paper will increase again!"
Lin Mu smiled and said: "Don't talk nonsense. Whether the price of Seven-Star Paper increases or not has nothing to do with me. This is decided by your boss behind you."
The waiter smiled and said, "Of course, it has nothing to do with you."
Lin Mu's consciousness probed into the storage ring and checked it out. He found 300 dozen Seven-Star Papers, not a single piece was missing. He looked relieved and said to the waiter with a smile, "This Seven-Star Paper is a third-grade paper. Do you have first-grade or second-grade paper in your store?"
Seven-Star Paper is too expensive. Lin Mu doesn't want his disciples to practice with these third-grade paper.
Anyway, in the early stage of making talismans, it is impossible to make powerful talismans, so using low-grade paper is enough.
The waiter smiled and said, "Yes. We still have some first-grade yellow sand paper and second-grade white cloud paper in the store. How much do you want?"
Lin Mu smiled and said, "How much do these two kinds of paper cost?"
The waiter was not annoyed at all, and said patiently, "A dozen of yellow sand paper costs fifty low-grade spirit stones, and a dozen of white cloud paper costs one hundred low-grade spirit stones. The grade of the paper affects the success rate of making talismans. If it is for profit, I hope you will think carefully." The waiter also helped Lin Mu to make suggestions.
Lin Mu naturally knew all this.
He had also seen yellow sand paper.
The surface of the paper was rough, and even tiny grass leaves could be seen occasionally.
On such paper, it was difficult for the talisman pen to draw smooth lines, and it would even affect the movement of the talisman pen.
Many times, the failure of making talismans was caused by the loss of control of the pen.
The higher the grade of the paper, the smoother the surface, and the higher the success rate of making talismans.
The power of the talisman is also closely related to the paper.
The power of the talismans made of low-level paper will be weakened a lot.
Lin Mu pondered for a moment, then said: "Then bring me 100 dozen yellow sand paper and 50 dozen white cloud paper!"
The waiter smiled and said: "Okay."
He took more paper, smiling.
Another 10,000 low-grade spirit stones!
After a cup of tea, the waiter ran over, with a little sweat on his forehead, took the paper out of the storage bag and handed it to Lin Mu.
Lin Mu counted the number, confirmed that it was correct, and smiled and put it into the storage ring.
The waiter smiled and asked: "Do you need anything else?"
Lin Mu smiled and said: "Of course. This is just the beginning."
"Give me another 100 bottles of cinnabar!"
The waiter said: "Wait a minute."
After a while, he took another 100 bottles of cinnabar.
Cinnabar is used to make low-level talismans. 100 bottles are enough for a long time.
Lin Mu also put the cinnabar into the storage ring, and said with a smile: "Give me another twenty high-grade talisman pens!"
"Wait a minute!" The waiter was no longer surprised and hurried to the shelf.
After a while, he came sweating and took out twenty talisman pens, and placed them on the counter.
Twenty green bamboo pens! All of them are high-grade magic tools.
Lin Mu smiled and said: "How many spirit stones do these talisman pens cost?"
The waiter smiled and said with sweat: "Each green bamboo pen costs three thousand low-grade spirit stones, twenty of them will cost sixty thousand!"
Another big deal.
Lin Mu also put the twenty talisman pens into the storage ring and said with a smile: "Seven-star paper is 90,000 yuan, yellow sand paper and white cloud paper are 10,000 yuan, and these twenty green bamboo pens are 60,000 yuan. The total is 160,000 yuan, right?"
The waiter smiled and nodded: "That's right!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly said: "No. There are still 100 bottles of cinnabar!"
Lin Mu smiled and said: "I bought you 160,000 low-grade spirit stones, and you don't give me any discount? These cinnabars are extra gifts."
The waiter's face froze, and then he nodded and smiled: "Then as you wish, I will give it to you."
He smiled on his face, but he was complaining in his heart. These cinnabars are worth at least 2,000 low-grade spirit stones.
Lin Mu smiled at the waiter: "Since you are so easy to talk to, I will buy some more. You have to give me a discount."
The waiter smiled and said: "That's easy, easy. What do you want?"
Lin Mu put away his smile and said seriously: "I want to buy some low-level spiritual materials."
"Low-level spiritual materials!" The waiter was suddenly shocked, and then smiled: "We have them in our store. Just tell me what you want!"
It turns out that the big business is behind!
The waiter thought to himself: "This is a big shot!"
Lin Mu said calmly: "Five elements of low-level spiritual materials, some for each system."
"All five systems?" The waiter couldn't help but ask again: "How much do you need for each system?"
He had a hunch that this business was not small.
"Each system does not need too much, about 50,000 spiritual stones will do." Lin Mu smiled.
50,000 spiritual stones!
The waiter groaned: "Isn't this too much?"
Two hundred and fifty thousand!
This is rich.
"Please wait a moment." The waiter left this sentence and ran to the warehouse to get the spiritual materials.
A moment later, the waiter came running with sweat all over his head, holding a green cloth bag in his hand, which seemed to be quite heavy.
"Five types of spiritual materials, all missing, two kilograms for each type." The waiter put down the green cloth bag and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Lin Mu opened the green cloth bag, and suddenly, five-colored light spread out.
Five pieces of spiritual materials, gorgeous and dazzling.
Lin Mu was also dazzled by the five pieces of materials.
Spiritual materials!
As long as the Five Elements Ring devours these spiritual materials, it can be upgraded to the level of top-grade magic tools.
The waiter introduced with a smile: "Star Blue Ingot Copper, Qingtong Wood, Cuiyun Crystal, Floating Fire Stone, and Sky Crystal Sand are all low-level spiritual materials, extremely rare. Two kilograms of each is enough to refine five top-grade magic tools."
Lin Mu smiled and nodded, put the green cloth bag into the storage bag, and began to bargain with the waiter.
"50,000 per set, that's 250,000." Lin Mu smiled and said, "I'm buying so much from you, so you should be cheaper. Even if I give you a 10% discount, it will be 25,000 yuan cheaper."
The waiter hurriedly said, "No. If you do that, the boss will fire me!"
Lin Mu smiled and said, "Then how much cheaper can you say it can be?"
The waiter hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "It can only be 10,000 yuan cheaper at most. If you lower the price again, I won't sell it!"
240,000 low-grade spirit stones, Lin Mu can accept it.
Adding the 160,000 yuan spent before, 400,000 low-grade spirit stones have been spent.
Lin Mu also felt a little distressed about this.
It's easy to earn spirit stones, and it seems even easier to spend them.
But when he thought that the Five Elements Ring could be upgraded to a top-grade magic weapon, Lin Mu felt that all the expenses were worth it.
Looking at the nervous waiter, Lin Mu smiled and said, "Just as you said, deal!"
