My Master Knows It All

Chapter 1448: Chapter 342_5

Although he can be quite casual in refining pills, he cannot be too reckless. At present, he happens to be at his busiest moment.

After Tan Xiangmin entered the room, he immediately introduced, “This is President Tan of our Rare Treasures Commerce Association.”

Cao Zhen merely glanced briefly at the two people entering the room, then lowered his head, controlling the temperature of the pill furnace flame, interrupting before the other finished speaking, “You wait for a moment until I’m done.”

President Tan of the Rare Treasures Commerce Association immediately showed a look of displeasure. He was the vice president of the Rare Treasures Commerce Association; if it were not the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth now, not to mention someone like Cao Zhen, a temporary sect master from the Eastern Wasteland, even ordinary experts of the Earth Immortal Realm would have to be courteous when seeing him. They would even need to check his mood to decide whether he would be willing to meet them or not.

This Cao Zhen, such arrogance, actually made him wait!

If not for wanting his nephew to learn well from him this time, he would turn around and leave right now.

President Tan turned to look at his nephew, who sat down, and his gaze inadvertently fell onto a piece of paper nearby. In an instant, he was captivated by the text on the paper.

Such beautiful calligraphy!

Although he has not entered the way of calligraphy, he loves it passionately and has researched it somewhat. These words, while seeming casually written, carry an air of charm within each stroke.

President Tan couldn’t help but pick up the paper and look at it.

“Pinduoduo Business Plan? What is this?”

President Tan looked down, lightly curling his lips; a business plan? He knew Cao Zhen was a reincarnated great ability and was now aware Cao Zhen excelled in alchemy, but these are related to cultivation. A business plan? Do you understand what a business plan is? What kind of things have you written here?

Giving away for free?

Giving away for free, you want to bankrupt yourself?

And there’s this, what is this? Asking others to help slash prices?

Buying things and asking others to slash it? Aren’t you afraid someone might slash you with a knife!

Oh? This “slash prices” doesn’t actually mean using a knife, so this “slash prices” is… can it really be like this?

In this way, wouldn’t more people know about it, which essentially promotes it?

Two people sharing an order?

If one person buys, it’s expensive, but if two people buy, it’s cheaper?

Then, setting a high price means everyone will join to share orders, but it actually sells at a normal price?

So that’s it.

Genius, this is simply a genius’s creation!

The more President Tan looked, the more amazed he became, unknowingly becoming completely absorbed.

Cao Zhen was busy for a while, adding the necessary herbs and stabilizing the pill furnace’s temperature. He looked at the two who came but surprisingly found President Tan’s companion was looking at his partially written business plan.

Seeing the elder in such a rapt state, Cao Zhen interrupted, “He brought you here, so you should be the person who can make decisions. You’ve seen this business plan, so you should know how significant the impact of it being executed would be on your Commerce Association.

Now, can we discuss my conditions?”

President Tan, hearing the voice, snapped back to reality and, upon hearing Cao Zhen’s words, instinctively nodded but quickly shook his head lightly and said, “Sect Leader Cao’s plan is indeed genius, but merely relying on this plan to impact our Rare Treasures Commerce Association is wishful thinking.

There’s just one point that Sect Leader Cao’s side can’t achieve. Do you know how many cities there are in Eastern Province? Every city has a Rare Treasures Pavilion from our Rare Treasures Commerce Association. Do you know how much effort it cost us to establish so many Rare Treasures Pavilions? Peak Master Cao, if you want every city to build a pavilion, the investment in manpower and finances is a terrifying number, not to mention maintaining the security of these pavilions.”

“Why do I need to build these pavilions myself? I can let others join us. Even in remote cities, there are Great Teachings or sect powers. I can cooperate with them to build pavilions in the cities they control. Moreover, since it’ll be their own pavilions, they’ll find ways to ensure security, saving me the trouble.”

President Tan furrowed his brows and said, “But if you do this, your side…”

“Simple…” Cao Zhen laughed directly. Discussing business with me? I have Ma’s business thinking and model; isn’t this just a dimensionality reduction attack!

Soon, President Tan was completely convinced.

Cao Zhen looked at President Tan and asked, “How about it, President Tan? Do you agree with my conditions?”

“This…” President Tan hesitated.

Seeing President Tan hesitate, Cao Zhen recalled Tan Xiangmin and President Tan’s surnames and immediately understood, saying, “President Tan around here, you aren’t the true president of the Rare Treasures Commerce Association, are you.”

Both having the surname Tan, which isn’t as common as Zhang, Wang, Li, Zhao, it’s evident they are relatives, so Tan Xiangmin found someone who can make decisions by seeking a higher-ranking relative.

If President Tan were truly the president, it would be emphasized during introductions; since it wasn’t, this President Tan is most likely only a vice president.
