Chapter 39 Sales is not easy Gu Chan clenched her fists and said, "Grandpa, you are too easily satisfied. We are still not out of poverty. We can only say that we have enough to eat. We can't live like this in the future." "Child! Don't be so careless. It's better to be a little more ordinary in life." Zhang Wanshan reached out and touched Gu Chan's head to comfort her. Gu Chan looked stubborn. Everyone in the world is the same. If you don’t live well yourself, you won’t be able to help others. Therefore, you must be strong and live a good life so that you can influence more people. Before she traveled through time, she thought that living an ordinary life would be enough, but the reality was that such a life was meaningless and tasteless. Since God has given her a chance to be reborn and to have a newly grown body, she can no longer be like before and must live a life of glory from now on. Pushing Grandpa's hand away, Gu Chan smiled and said, "Okay, Grandpa, go and have some rest! I have to go find Zhao Erniu very early tomorrow." "Well, let's go to sleep!" Zhang Wanshan nodded.
Then the grandfather and grandson didn't say anything else, but went into the house together and returned to their rooms. In the inner room. After Gu Chan came in, she carefully closed the door, then took off the quiver she was carrying on her back, took out Mickey who was hiding inside, put him on the ground beside her, and let him lie down to rest. The eel Baidu popped out of her pocket and asked, "What are you going to do with it?" "Let's wait until it wakes up tomorrow." Gu Chan replied. The eel Baidu calmed down, lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. Gu Chan was also tired, so she climbed onto the bed and soon fell asleep. She had originally thought about practicing some physical skills at night, but now she really didn't have the energy to do so. The next morning, just after dawn, Gu Chan woke up early. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Mickey sitting on the quilt on her chest, with his head lowered, staring at her with his rat eyes. Gu Chan asked in a bad mood, "Are you sick? I was wondering why I had a nightmare last night, and you pressed on my chest for a long time. When did you wake up from your coma?" "Don't talk about this, it's not important. What should I do now?" Mickey asked in a sad tone. Gu Chan smiled. She raised her hand and lifted up Mickey Mouse Head. She propped herself up and leaned against the bedside, sneering, "Your life is yours. If you want to die again, I won't stop you. But if you want to become the best mouse in the mouse world, and become famous in the mouse world, then you'd better go back to the county right away and subdue all the mice there." "I still can't get over this hurdle in my heart. I am a proud mysterious beast! How can I speak the words of a lowly two-legged beast!" Mickey said in a crying voice. Gu Chan suddenly had an idea and said cunningly, "How about this, when you become the Rat King of Wuheng County, I will find a way to bring you into the human world and let all the two-legged beasts come to worship you and treat you like a treasure. What do you think?" "Will this work?" Mickey widened his rat eyes and became interested. "You have to believe me, there is nothing I can't do. And think about it, if the two-legged beasts kneel in front of you and not only kowtow to you but also offer sacrifices to you, not only will you have no worries about food and drink, but you will also be worshipped by the two-legged beasts. Wouldn't you be very happy?" Gu Chan coaxed. Mickey was stunned. After a while, he said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. It's settled. I'll go back to the county now and capture those mice first. Then I'll become the county's rat king."
"Go, go! Come on!" Gu Chan put Mickey on the ground. Mickey took two steps forward, then suddenly stopped and looked back at Gu Chan, "Don't lie to me!" "Oh my god, with your intelligence, how can a 'lowly' two-legged beast like me fool you?" "That's true." Mickey felt elated for a moment and left with a smug look on his face. Gu Chan got off the bed, stretched, and chuckled, "Ah! It turns out that the mysterious beast is easy to coax! I dealt with it in just a few words, so cool!" After saying that, Gu Chan went to wash up, then went into the house, put on her bow and quiver, said goodbye to her grandfather, and rushed to Zhao Erniu's house. When Gu Chan arrived at Zhao Erniu's house, Ma Zheng was already sitting in the yard waiting for her. Mrs. Li was still sitting in front of the stove cooking as usual. Zhao Erniu fed fresh grass in front of the cowshed to the calves that had recovered. Seeing Gu Chan coming, Zhao Erniu immediately turned around and laughed, "Thanks to you, my cow is now well. It needs to eat a lot of grass now. I believe it will become strong soon." "Have you sold those Sanjiu Weitai pills?" Gu Chan walked over and sat down next to Ma Zheng and asked. "It's sold. The owner of Kaiyuan Pharmacy, Zhou Dachuan, said that the Sanjiu Weitai Pills you developed are very effective. He has tried it and found that not only can mysterious beasts eat it, but even humans can eat it to treat stomach problems." Zhao Erniu explained happily. "..."Gu Chan. Dry! She was totally confused! It turns out that this belly-warming grass that looks like a cow's tail, after being ground into powder and mixed with the spiritual energy in her body, the Sanjiu Weitai Pills developed can not only cure the stomach problems of mysterious beasts, but also the stomach problems of humans. This is really an unexpected gain. However, in this situation, Gu Chan naturally could not show surprise. Instead, she pretended to be calm and said, "This is good. My efforts have not been in vain. I hope there will be more shopkeepers with vision like Zhou Dachuan in the future." "Don't worry, I know all the shop owners in the county. In the future, just give the medicine you develop to me to sell. I promise to sell it to shop owners who know the goods and sell it at a higher price." "Then how much silver did you sell yesterday? How much can I get?" Gu Chan interrupted directly. Damn it! She spent so much effort to make this pill, how can I not give her some money now? Zhao Erniu was obviously stunned for a moment, then he exchanged a glance with Li, then walked to Gu Chan and sat down and said, "I won't lie to you, that batch of pills sold for a total of ten taels of silver." "Okay then, we'll split it 30% and 70% respectively. Just give me 7 taels." Gu Chan stretched out her hand to Zhao Erniu without hesitation. Zhao Erniu was immediately unhappy. Ma Zheng stood up for him, "Master Erniu, we picked all the back-warming grass and crushed it into pills. Besides, my boss also cured your calf. Is it not too much for you to give him seven taels of silver?" "But I'm the one selling it! If you take it to sell, you will definitely not get ten taels of silver. This selling method is mine. Those shopkeepers dare not easily lower my price. My work is also very important. They only give me three taels of silver. I feel like I'm at a loss." Zhao Erniu argued. Since ancient times, sales has been a difficult job. Take Gu Chan before she traveled through time, for example. She opened a pet shop, and she could make some money by helping pets see a doctor, give them a bath, etc. But as soon as she mentioned selling pet supplies, or dog food or cat food, many people would rather buy them online and were not willing to spend extra money to buy them in her store. So being able to make something is not a skill; the real skill is knowing how to sell it and make more money from it. Gu Chan had to admit that as a local boss in Jiuyang Village, Zhao Erniu had connections and sales channels, so it was understandable that he would be dissatisfied with the 70-30 profit-sharing method.
