"Uh …" I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Compared to the martial artists who were looking for elixirs and weapons, this little tabby cat's needs were really strange. The most important thing was that I, the founder, was right beside her.
Speaking of which, at Hsieh Shih-chi's fan meeting, I not only announced the prices of various products on the stage, but also taught a lesson to the popular little fresh meat, Xue Yifan. That guy was beaten until he didn't have any temper, and the netizens also gave me the title of Dollar God.
As long as it was a famous family in Beijing, they basically knew that I had dual identities as a martial artist and a businessman. Even if they didn't say it to the public, it wasn't a secret. In that case, this little tabby cat should also know.
Compared to the pursuit of martial arts by male martial artists, female martial artists cared more about beauty. This was a common feature of women. Although the Black Mud Mask had officially entered the mass production stage, Nan Yun's factory's operating capacity was limited. There weren't many shipments, and it was still in a situation where the supply could not meet the demand.
The most popular one was the entry-level version. After all, even a girl from an ordinary family could afford to buy something that cost one or two hundred yuan. However, people who had a slight pursuit of quality would buy a higher grade one. Even the supreme version, which cost up to one million yuan per bottle, had nearly ten thousand reservations and paid a small part of the deposit.
However, the conformance rate of the supreme version was very low. Unless it was made by me, I couldn't guarantee more than eighty to ninety percent success rate. Even if I gave the formula and the factory worked day and night, the supreme version's shipment was less than one thousandth.
Because of this, in the past half a month, only less than thirty bottles of the supreme version of the black mud mask were made. Facing nearly ten thousand reservations, Liu Yuhan and the others had a headache. This feeling of seeing money but not being able to take it was really sad. However, they didn't take advantage of the situation to raise the price. Instead, they shipped the goods one by one according to the order of the deposit. If the customers couldn't wait, they could also choose to refund.
Because of this, the supreme version of the product became a treasure that was hard to find. Some people got the goods, and when they resold it, one million yuan became tens of millions. It was simply a successful case of getting rich overnight.
Driven by these examples, many scalpers sold their houses and cars in preparation to buy the supreme model. In the end, the delivery was delayed. Even if they could get an unconditional refund, they could not buy their houses back. This made countless scalpers cry.
After all, the rarer something was, the greater its value. When they bought unlimited quantities in the future, there might even be a lower price. It was impossible for them to keep it for themselves, so they had to suffer in silence.
Under such circumstances, the supreme facial mask became more and more expensive.
As a result, all the major auction houses also asked to buy it. This black mud mask has not been advertised on TV yet, but it has already become popular. No wonder it is said that the best publicity mode is the crowd tactic. It really makes sense.
While I was considering whether to sell her a bottle, there was a commotion in the room.
"Eh, it seems like Boss Hong is here."
"Wow, this is the first time I've seen Boss Hong after attending so many free trade fairs."
The Boss Hong they were talking about was the owner of this auction house. Although this person was mysterious, he could be described with one word — extremely rich.
Although it was just a small auction house, Boss Hong had used his connections and business acumen to penetrate into all the major cities in the country. Since he had provided help and convenience to the warriors, his business was booming.
Generally, martial artists with some ability would have a decent net worth. In addition, every transaction would be taxed at 20% according to the regulations. This was considered to be to support the construction of the auction house. Someone made a rough estimate. Over the years, Boss Hong had relied on the auction house and the underground black market to rake in at least tens of billions. Moreover, it was a pure profit. This was very impressive.
Although in recent years, according to the statistics provided by the Hua Xia government, the number of richest people who changed positions had a net worth of hundreds of billions, this was a general calculation. It also included the recognition of the market, potential commercial value, and so on. In fact, when it came to personal net worth, it might only be tens of billions. This was thanks to the silent efforts of thousands of employees behind the scenes.
However, Boss Hong was different. He didn't have many employees. This series of business acumen and operations almost accounted for the main credit. He had relied on his personal ability to create such a brilliant business empire. It could be said that he was a real business legend.
Of course, a person like Boss Hong could definitely be on the various wealth lists. Although he might not be the first, he would at least be among the top. However, due to the special nature of this industry, it was not convenient for him to be on the list.
In Hua Xia, there were also a few such examples, including some invisible families. Their combined wealth was also an immeasurable figure. It could only be said that Boss Hong relied on his ability to fight alone to reach the height he had today, which was really admirable.
It had to be admitted that it was quite easy to earn money from warriors. This was a potential group that had been neglected. Moreover, Boss Hong's approach was undoubtedly to promote the positive development of Hua Xia's martial arts. Naturally, the higher-ups would strongly support him.
After a while, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked in. He was wearing ancient silk clothes. Every move he made had the aura and boldness of a successful person.
After Boss Hong went up on stage, he smiled and looked around before saying in a clear voice, "Welcome to the auction house. I'm here to share a piece of good news with everyone. In a while, there will be people from the Valley of Medicine Masters participating in the free trade fair as special guests. Whether it's elixirs or natural treasures, you can negotiate with them. Of course, if you have any good treasures, you can also show them to the people from the Valley of Medicine Masters. Perhaps you will have an unexpected harvest."
