C6 The Main Character of the Meeting

The little Artifact Master furrowed his brows, and his expression was as focused as a statue.

It was said that when a man was focused on something, it was the most charismatic moment. When this sentence was used on this little Artifact Master, it couldn't be any more suitable.

Under the illumination of the sun, it was as if he was wearing a golden cloak. His right arm propped up the bridge of wisdom, and his slightly narrowed eyes were flickering with a lightning-like liveliness. At this moment, he seemed to have become the legendary sage.

After Su Chen had been modified by the God Punisher Star Core, he felt that his thinking was agile and his mind was clear. After hearing about this problem, the framework of the problem appeared in his mind at the first moment.

When he was a servant, he had been living at the bottom of Profound Weapon Shop for a long time. Not only did he have to complete the various tasks assigned by the Artifact Master, but he also had to observe his appearance. He had to gather information and pay attention to many details in his journey. More importantly, the way they released their pressure while working... It was to chat with their peers and make fun of them.

Over time, they had broadened their horizons through these unorthodox methods. They had also obtained a lot of insider information from their peers in other equipment industries, which gave them the basic ability to analyze the current situation.

Master Gongzang sized up the young servant who had just been promoted to prepare the Artifact Master with interest. A trace of surprise flashed across his face. "Su Chen, do you have any good suggestions regarding the current situation?"

"Master, I have... an opinion, I don't know..." Hearing Master Gongzang's name, Su Chen hurriedly stood up and responded. In his mind, Master Gongzang was the chief Origin Tool Master of Profound Weapon Shop. He was absolutely a high and mighty figure. In front of him, he was just like an ant.

Su Chen's voice was as soft as a mosquito's, intermittent and annoying. The surrounding Artifact Master couldn't help but burst into laughter when they saw his cautious manner. In their eyes, there was a fellow who was born as a servant. What kind of good suggestions could he come up with? It was no different than playing the lute to a cow when Master Gongzang asked him.

"Hmph... You are incompetent, but you still dare to laugh at others. You are really rude!" Master Gongzang sneered. His sharp gaze slowly swept across the entire scene, causing everyone to hold back their smiles and lower their heads.

"At this critical moment, those who dare to say what they saw are the heroes of Profound Weapon Shop. Su Chen, you can speak boldly, no matter if your suggestion is accepted or not. After this meeting, I will reward you with 100 taels of silver! " Master Gongzang turned to look at Su Chen and encouraged him with a smile.

"Yes, I will follow master's orders!" After Su Chen was encouraged, his voice also became louder. As a result, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and Artifact Master Zhang looked at him with a trace of surprise.

"I think if you want to take back the market, you must first understand the mentality of the buyer. When I was a servant, I often chatted with other miscellaneous people. From that, I understood the mentality of some customers who wanted to buy items. Of course, this is just my own conclusion. If there is anything wrong with what I say, seniors, please forgive me." Su Chen said modestly.

"What you said makes sense. Let's continue. I really want to hear your opinion." After hearing his words, Master Gongzang impatiently asked.

"According to my summary, high-end customers are rich and desire the extreme. They buy three pieces of equipment: one is quality, two is service, and three is price. In their opinion, as long as they can buy a powerful Origin Tool... It's worth it to spend more money. "

"Low end customers also buy these three items, but the order of importance has changed. Because their money is tight, they place the quality and price of the weapon at the top when purchasing. What they seek is a product with a higher cost-performance ratio. As for how the service is, it's not worth mentioning to them. If you ignore the service attitude of the seller, it can save them some money. Even if they get scolded, they're willing to do it." Su Chen carefully looked at Master Gongzang. He saw a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Your idea is very obvious. I just don't know what you think will change the situation of our Profound Weapon Shop branch?" This time, it wasn't Master Gongzang who spoke, but Artifact Master Liu.

"The method to occupy the high-end market is very simple. As long as we can put in high-quality weapons that can suppress our opponents in the high-end market, we can easily take back the market that belongs to us." Su Chen said without hesitation.

"What about the low-end market?" Master Gongzang asked.

"Our share in the low-end market has exceeded the bottom line. It will be difficult to turn the market upside down. However, we just need to gather the high level Artifact Master in our shop and quickly create a batch of high quality low-end weapons that are not weaker than our opponents and place them in the market. Moreover... Sell them at a slightly lower price than the other party's. This way, we can stabilize our market. Then we can look for a breakthrough." Su Chen pondered for a moment before saying.

"In my opinion, almost all the customers have the characteristics of jeering. If our branch chooses some special days to carry out flexible and diverse shopping activities, then we will have limited shopping activities. We can even send out some Origin Tool and big gifts appropriately to create a gimmick that is large enough. This way, we can make use of this opportunity to expand the influence of our Profound Weapon Shop. It will certainly bring us great benefits when we take back the market. " Su Chen continued.

"What?"

"Let a high grade Artifact Master lower itself to refine a low grade Origin Tool? Sell it at a low price?"

"You still need to choose a few days to gift an Origin Tool or gift a big gift? Do you have a brain full of water? Do you know how much loss this will cause us?" When some of the Artifact Master heard this, they refuted one after another.

"The current situation is disadvantageous to us. This is also a temporary measure. If we continue to operate in an ordinary business model, it probably won't take long. The result of billions of ants eating an elephant will appear. At that time, the Profound Weapon Shop branch's share will continue to fall. This will cause us to have no choice but to withdraw from Purple Town. "

"Of course, if this is the outcome, then we won't have to bear the losses anymore. Perhaps this is what you are thinking." Su Chen sneered and refuted the Artifact Master. His words were incomparably sharp, causing the Artifact Master to stare at him. It could no longer say anything.

"Everyone, Artifact Master, use low-priced and high-quality weapons to attract customers' attention. And... Through appropriate promotions, cooperate with us to expand our influence, that's my suggestion. Although doing so might cause us to suffer some losses for the time being, our goal of regaining market share in the end is not difficult to achieve." After saying this, Su Chen bowed to Master Gongzang and sat down.

Master Gongzang listened to his words and fell into deep thought. He had been in a high position for a long time and did not know what the people below were thinking. After listening to Su Chen's suggestion, he felt enlightened.

Strictly speaking, the Artifact Master and the servant were two different levels of people. Although it looked like they worked in the same courtyard, in reality, their work was different. The difference in levels also indirectly separated their minds.

As the saying goes, the distance between each other was like a mountain. There was an insurmountable gap between the Artifact Master and the little fellows. When the Artifact Master heard Su Chen's analysis, they also felt that their field of vision had expanded a lot.

"What do you all think?" Master Gongzang pondered for a long time before he slowly opened his mouth and asked.

Although many Artifact Master understood Su Chen's meaning and tacitly agreed with his analysis, but they were unwilling to admit it in front of everyone. Perhaps this was the pride of their Artifact Master. In their eyes, servants were always lowly. Even if he had already advanced to the level of an Artifact Master, he was still a lowly servant.

Artifact Master Liu, on the other hand, looked at Su Chen with praise. He slowly nodded. "Su Chen's train of thought is very correct. Although some of the details are somewhat crude, it is not a bad idea."

After Artifact Master Liu spoke, the Artifact Master that followed him also agreed. As for the other Artifact Master that had ideas, they also began to express their opinions. Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm had been fully mobilized, Master Gongzang could not help but nod his head in satisfaction.

"Su Chen's suggestion is very timely and very reasonable. Just because he dared to express his opinion on this point, I declare that he is no longer preparing a Third Grade Artifact Master. Instead, he is preparing an official Third Grade Artifact Master. After Artifact Master Zhang brings him out of Dao'er, he can refine his own weapon. He will receive the same treatment as everyone else."

"Also, after the meeting is over, Su Chen, you can go to the account and pay a hundred taels of silver. That is your reward. If your suggestion is accepted this time, and you help our branch get through this crisis, at that time, there will be even greater rewards." Master Gongzang smiled at Su Chen.

Facing this sudden surprise, Su Chen could no longer remain calm.

One should know that a hundred taels of silver was the income he earned as a servant for several years. Back then, after he made a mistake, it was only because he couldn't afford to pay 180 taels of silver that he had to give the ancestral house to Profound Weapon Shop as collateral. At this moment, he only made a small suggestion. He couldn't believe that he had obtained 100 taels of silver.

In Su Chen's muddleheaded state, the meeting had ended unknowingly!

After a few core members discussed it, they accepted Su Chen's suggestion and temporarily carried out the test operation. If the test results were good, they could continue to increase the scope of operation.

The Artifact Master left with complicated feelings. They had never thought that this would be an important meeting. He actually made a lowly servant the protagonist. He had even won the favor of Master Gongzang with just a suggestion. It had to be said that he was really lucky.

Artifact Master Zhang slowly came to Su Chen's side. He patted Su Chen on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Well done. You are worthy of being my disciple. Go to the weapons room later. I will teach you some refining techniques."

"Yes!" Su Chen nodded and said after hearing this.

In Su Chen's impression, ever since he was struck by that white-clothed woman, it was as if he had been blessed by God. First, his suggestion was to be accepted by the Profound Weapon Shop branch and gain Master Gongzang's favor. Then, Artifact Master Zhang's attitude towards him, who had always been arrogant, changed 180 degrees, and even took the initiative to teach him the skill of refining. This made his heart burst with joy.

After getting a hundred silver taels from the accounts, Su Chen held them in his hands. They were filled with tears, and he felt as if he had become the richest person in the world. It was only when the servant came to invite him under Artifact Master Zhang's orders that he restrained his emotions. He hurriedly rushed to the artifact room.

In the Artifact Room, under Artifact Master Zhang's guidance, Su Chen's originally crude refining method was rich. He adapted to the rhythm of refining taught by Artifact Master Zhang and grasped all kinds of tricks of refining. He fell into a passionate hammering state, as if he was intoxicated. He couldn't teach it to himself.

Three days of guidance directly allowed Su Chen to complete a deep level of practice on the preliminary refining process. Although his technique was still a little rusty and his refining experience was still shallow, however, he already possessed the basic qualities of an Artifact Master.

Artifact Master Zhang saw Su Chen's rapid progress and a trace of slyness appeared in his eyes. He patted Su Chen's shoulder and said with a smile, "You are the first person that I have taught with great care. From today onwards, you will be mine."

"I will protect you in my field. I promise you that you will be fine. In the future, if anyone dares to bully you, come and find me. I will help you vent your anger. If you don't have enough money, just tell me. I will help you."

"Master, please don't be like this. It's already a great kindness for you to impart the Artifact Forging Technique to me. How could I dare to do this?" When Su Chen heard this, he was extremely touched.

"I have already ordered the servant to prepare three sets of forging materials for you every day. You should use them to practice your skills. I think it won't take long for you to forge weapons by yourself." Artifact Master Zhang was out of the ordinary. His enthusiasm kept rising and falling. Su Chen was surprised, but he showed a grateful expression on his face.

"I think Master Gongzang is very interested in you. If you have time, you can come to him often and ask him for guidance. If he does anything, what is his plan? Why don't you tell me so that we can help him better?" Before they left, Artifact Master Zhang told Su Chen to settle down again.

After hearing this, Su Chen finally understood Artifact Master Zhang's true intention. Although he answered repeatedly, he sneered in his heart.

Artifact Master Zhang's only goal was to obtain profits. He was extremely famous in the entire Purple Town branch. Master Gongzang had even criticized him in person for this weakness of his. Artifact Master Zhang was not convinced and had an intense argument with him. He even threatened to take his place. This caused a barrier to appear between them.

The reason why he was giving Su Chen such preferential treatment at this moment was all because of Master Gongzang's favor for him. As long as he tightly held onto Su Chen, he would be able to find out everything about Master Gongzang through him. Thus, he would be able to know himself and his enemy in a battle of attrition. He would be able to win a hundred battles in a battle of attrition.

"I knew he wasn't that kind. This wolf-like guy wants to use me. No way! Don't think that you can sell me off just because of this little bit of profit. Our servant has his own thoughts too. You have a conscience. You have evil intentions and evil intentions. I will make sure you don't get what you want! "Su Chen looked in the direction where Artifact Master Zhang had left and sneered.
