Chapter 1935: Treasure Hall

The Xingchen Sect is only one star in strength in the God Realm and cannot be compared with the Shenhua Kingdom. In Pu Dong's eyes, it is not worth mentioning. It is a piece of cake to destroy the Wanbao Pavilion of the Xingchen Sect in Yongzhi City.

"As expected, elder brother is still wise, then I will wait for your good news!"

Pu Yuan was overjoyed and extended his thumb to Pu Dong:

"Brother, as long as you drive Qin Guan out of Yongzhi City, leave the rest to me! With my cultivation at the fourth level of the Divine Realm, I can kill him like a dog!"

"Well, you should go back to Dongye City first. As soon as Qin Guan leaves Yongzhi City, I will notify you as soon as possible."

Pu Dong promised.

Pu Yuan nodded excitedly and strode away...

The next day, another large shop on the same street not far from Wanbao Pavilion changed its entrance and started extensive renovations. Half a month later, the renovations were finally completed, and a brand new signboard was hung up - Zhibao Tang!

As the name suggests, the goods sold in this shop are all treasures, extraordinary!

However, the location is so special and the name of the store is so straightforward. Anyone with a discerning eye can guess at a glance that its target is obviously Wanbao Pavilion!

Yongzhi City is extremely prosperous, with many shops and fierce competition. New competing shops often appear, so the appearance of Zhibao Hall does not attract Wanbao Pavilion's attention.

After all, there had been many competitors before, and Wanbao Pavilion had the last laugh in the end, so Du Haiming didn't pay too much attention after the Treasure Hall appeared.

But just a few days later, Du Haiming discovered something was wrong.

In the past few days, fewer and fewer customers have come to Wanbao Pavilion, transactions have dropped significantly, and business is getting worse day by day.

"Business has been bleak recently, what's going on?"

Du Haiming inspected the lobby on the first floor and saw a bored clerk taking a nap. He frowned and shouted coldly.

"Sir Deputy Sect Master, don't you know that the Treasure Hall not far from us has stopped all our customers. Even many of our old customers in our store stopped coming to us and went to the Treasure Hall instead."

The guy woke up with a start, and then replied truthfully to Du Haiming.

"Are you even taking away our old customers?"

Du Haiming frowned.

It's just a newly opened shop. What's so great about it that it can even pry away their old customers of Wanbao Pavilion?

"Sir, Deputy Sect Master, I have secretly inquired about it. Everything we have in our store is available in the Treasure Hall. Anything we don't have in the store is also available in the Treasure Hall!"

"And their prices are 10% cheaper than ours, so customers will naturally go to their homes instead of ours."

The guy looked helpless and said.

"What? Everything is cheaper than ours!"

Du Haiming frowned.

The price of their goods sold by Wanbao Pavilion is already extremely low, with a profit of less than 10%. They are based on small profits but quick turnover to attract repeat customers. If Zhibao Pavilion's selling price is 10% cheaper than theirs, wouldn't it be higher than the cost price of the goods? Low?

If we operate like this, how can Zhibao Tang still make money?

It's totally a loss and a profit!

"Sir Deputy Sect Master, what should we do?"

The guys in the hall all looked expectantly at Du Haiming.

Du Haiming waved his hand and said:

"This is just a way to attract customers to Zhibaotang's new store. I don't believe they can really continue to operate at a loss?"

"After this period of time, after their products return to their original prices, they will naturally lose their competitiveness, and our old customers will naturally come back."

For this, Du Haiming is confident enough.

However, a full month has passed.

The goods sold by Zhibao Hall have no intention of increasing their prices and are still sold at the original preferential prices. Their reputation has gradually surpassed the reputation of Wanbao Pavilion in Yongzhi City.

At this moment, Wanbao Pavilion has become extremely deserted from the bustling crowds before. There are many more clerks in the hall than customers buying goods.

Du Haiming also stood in the hall with a frown on his face.

Originally thought that the price competition in Zhibao Tang would not last long, but what Du Haiming did not expect was that Zhibao Tang had been operating for more than a month and had no intention of changing the price at all.

In the past month or so, Wanbao Pavilion's business has been affected by this, and it has become increasingly bleak day by day. It can be said that it is unable to make ends meet.

If it hadn't been in business for many years and still had some wealth, I'm afraid Wanbao Pavilion would have been unable to hold on long ago.

But if this continues, no matter how rich Wanbao Pavilion is, it will not be able to withstand long-term consumption.

"Hmph! It seems that I have to have a good communication with the people from the Treasure Hall!"

Du Haiming made up his mind.

Although he knew that this was likely to play into the hands of the Treasure Hall, in order for Wanbao Pavilion to continue operating, he had to communicate with the person in charge of the Treasure Hall.

He led the two stewards across the street and walked into the hall of the Treasure Hall.

As soon as we entered the hall, there was a sea of ​​people inside. There were even more customers buying shops than people walking on the street, which was in sharp contrast to the deserted hall of Wanbao Pavilion.

Seeing this scene, Du Haiming suddenly felt unhappy!

All their business in Wanbao Pavilion was taken away by Zhibao Hall!

What's more, he saw many familiar faces in the crowd. They were their old customers of Wanbao Pavilion, and now they were snatched away by Zhibao Pavilion!

After squeezing through the crowd, Du Haiming finally reached a person who seemed to be in charge.

"Hello, distinguished guest, may I need anything?"

The steward was too busy to raise his head and asked.

"Hello, I am Du Haiming, the person in charge of Wanbao Pavilion. I am here to visit you. I want to talk to the person in charge of your Treasure Hall about something important."

Du Haiming got straight to the point and explained his purpose.

The steward then raised his head, blinked his eyes, and glanced at Du Haiming:

"Aren't you here to buy something?"

"The business of our Treasure Hall is really good. Manager Jia is not as free as you. He is very busy. I am afraid he may not have time to see you."

Hearing the steward's words, Du Haiming suddenly felt unhappy.

Even a little steward of Treasure Hall dared to mock him in front of him!

It's really too much!

But this time I came here to solve problems, not to create them. Du Haiming suppressed the anger in his heart and said:

"It's okay. I hope you can help spread the word. We'll wait here. You can also meet us when Director Jia is finished."

The steward nodded after hearing this:

"Okay, I'll go tell Director Jia. I can't guarantee when he will be free."

Du Haiming was overjoyed and was about to say thanks when he heard the steward continue:

"You don't have to wait here anymore. Standing here is in the way and affects our business at Treasure Hall. You three should go to the corner over there and wait for Director Jia."

The person in charge of the dignified Wanbao Pavilion was actually reprimanded by the little steward of the Treasure Pavilion for being in the way!

Du Haiming's face suddenly darkened, his chest rose and fell violently, he took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and walked to the corner of the hall.

For the sake of Wanbao Pavilion's business, he would endure no matter how great the grievance was!

In a spacious reception hall on the fourth floor of Zhibao Hall.

The entire reception hall is quite spacious and the furnishings are extremely elegant.

Looking down from the reception hall, you can see

At this moment, Director Jia of the Treasure Hall stood respectfully behind an imposing old man in gray, with a respectful expression on his face.

This old man in gray is none other than Pu Dong, the lord of Yongzhi City.

"Lord City Lord, Du Haiming from Wanbao Pavilion finally couldn't hold back anymore and came to our door. Do you want to go down below and give him some advice?"

Manager Jia said with a flattering look on his face.

"You went down to see him as soon as he arrived. Wouldn't it be too much of a favor to him? In my opinion, it's better to show off to him a few more times before we talk."

Pu Dong glanced at Du Haiming and the other three people who were waiting anxiously in the lobby on the first floor. He spoke without any hurry and smiled.

"The city lord has thought it over carefully, and the villain has learned a lesson!"

Manager Jia extended his thumb to Pu Dong and complimented him.

Pu Dong casually chatted for a few words before leaving the Treasure Hall.

Manager Jia looked at Du Haiming in the hall on the first floor with a sneer, ordered his servants to make another pot of tea, sat down and tasted it slowly.

The entire hall was bustling with people coming and going, and every clerk in Zhibao Hall was extremely busy.

As time passed, Du Haiming became more and more anxious as he waited, but he didn't see Manager Jia from Treasure Hall coming down to see him.

The setting sun slanted, and the afterglow shone on the tall and heavy walls of Yongzhi City.

The busy hall now became less crowded, and many waiters packed up. Gradually, only Du Haiming and three other guests were left in the hall.

"You three, our store is closing soon. If you don't want to buy anything, please leave."

A waiter wiped the sweat from his forehead and ordered Du Haiming and the three of them standing in the corner to be kicked out.

Du Haiming frowned:

"We are not here to buy anything, we are here to discuss matters with your Manager Jia."

"Looking for Director Jia? Director Jia has already left our Treasure Hall to discuss business with suppliers. I'm afraid your wait will be in vain!"

The guy spoke.

"What, Director Jia has left?"

Du Haiming's face was full of astonishment, and then his eyes were full of anger, and he looked at the steward who had spoken before:

"I've been waiting here for almost a day, but Director Jia actually left the Treasure Hall first. What do you mean, are you trying to trick me?"

At this moment, all the suppressed anger burst out, and Du Haiming was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

If Yongzhi City did not allow private fights, he would have directly demolished the hall of the Treasure Hall!

The steward looked calm and said:

"Tricking you? Is it necessary? I've already sent the message to you. Manager Jia is too busy. Meeting the supplier is definitely more important than meeting you. We can't let Manager Jia leave the supplier alone and come to see him. You?"

"It's not like you came in vain today. At least you know that our business at Treasure Hall is very good and Manager Jia is too busy."

"So, if you want to see our Manager Jia, you should come to our Treasure Hall early tomorrow and wait!"
