"Uh... well... in short, it’s not easy to answer." Li Cunxu mumbled.
Yang ixin was not satisfied with this answer and snorted coldly.
"Are Winged Slis really that popular?" Li Cunxu asked in confusion.
"Super popular, okay? Recently it’s beco a trendy pet, scalpers are selling them for ten thousand each."
"What?!"
Li Cunxu was shocked; I sell them for twenty, including a ten yuan delivery fee. Scalpers sell them for ten thousand, which is five hundred tis what I charge.
"So expensive, surely no one would buy them, right?"
"Yes, they do, and many of them," Yang ixin said. "If people didn’t know that Winged Slis were originally priced at twenty and didn’t want to be suckers, scalpers could sell them for even higher."
Buying a twenty-yuan Winged Sli for ten thousand, isn’t that being a sucker?
Li Cunxu couldn’t understand their logic.
"Why are Winged Slis so popular?"
Yang ixin counted on her fingers, listing the benefits of Winged Slis.
"Winged Slis are cute and have a pair of small white wings, like little angels.
They are very obedient; a few feeds with Spiritual Food will have them obediently understanding so simple commands.
They can fly like a bird, fulfilling the demand for Flying Pet Beasts.
They have no fur, so no need to worry about cleaning up shed fur.
They feel good to touch, their bodies are soft and squishy, and squeezing them is stress-relieving.
They don’t need to eat often; if you forget to feed them, you don’t have to worry about them starving.
They’re cool, and when it’s hot, their blow-skill can act as a fan."
Hearing this, Li Cunxu realized that Winged Slis do have many advantages; they seem like perfect pets.
Yang ixin said, "Didn’t you know your Winged Slis sell really well? As soon as the slots co out at 00:01, they’re all snapped up before even half a minute has passed."
Li Cunxu shook his head; he found the sales notifications annoying and had turned them off long ago.
Also, he didn’t pay much attention, being busy with other matters, so he hadn’t been looking at the sales notifications.
"So, when exactly are you going to raise the price and increase the quantity limit? I want to buy them, and selling just fifty a day is really too few."
Previously, the number of Winged Slis sold each day was a hundred, but after stopping the breeding potions, it was cut in half to only fifty.
"But didn’t I give you five for free? You still want to buy more?"
"Anyway, my courtyard is quite large, so buying a few more wouldn’t matter, and I want to give so to my good sisters as well."
"How much should I raise the price?"
"Raise it to ten thousand, it’s better for you to earn the money than the scalpers."
Selling a Winged Sli that costs almost nothing to produce for ten thousand did bother Li Cunxu’s conscience a bit.
Li Cunxu clutched his chest, "As I thought, my conscience is not suited for doing business as a profiteer."
After so thought, Li Cunxu decided to raise the Winged Sli price to two hundred and increase the daily sales quantity to two hundred.
Two hundred minus the ten-yuan delivery fee, then multiplied by two hundred equals earning thirty-eight thousand in a day.
As for the cost of breeding potions and sterilization potions, Garbage Sli clearing garbage daily earned him lots of environntal organization points, which he exchanged for Sli breeding potions, bringing the cost almost to zero.
The sterilization potion was the kind Li Cunxu bought for five hundred per bottle and, once diluted, it could be used to sterilize a thousand Winged Slis.
After hearing Li Cunxu set the price, Yang ixin thought the pricing was too low, as if he was underestimating soone.
"It’s too low. It’s one thing when you didn’t know, but now that you know scalpers sell them for ten thousand, you still sell them for two hundred? You’re terrible at doing business."
Li Cunxu said, "Because of the quantity limitation, it’s a little bit like hunger marketing. Winged Slis are in short supply, which is why this high-price situation occurs. Once more Winged Slis are on sale, the price will return to a normal range."
The price set at two hundred was firstly because Li Cunxu’s conscience couldn’t handle it, and secondly, he couldn’t stomach such a large profit.
This is a world where strength speaks, and no matter how much money you make, without strength to protect it, it’s all fleeting wealth.
Moreover, Li Cunxu had just looted resources from a Blood God Sect point, so he was currently quite wealthy; he didn’t lack money but needed ti to develop quietly.
Li Cunxu asked, "Do you want to raise Winged Slis?"
Yang ixin said, "What do you an?"
"I want to find soone to partner with to open a Winged Sli breeding facility."
"Why ask ? We’re not that familiar."
"After fighting with you twice, I felt from your pet battles that you are soone trustworthy."
Li Cunxu said seriously.
Hearing this, a faint blush crept over Yang ixin’s cheeks, and she waved her hand.
"You’re exaggerating."
Actually, during battle, Li Cunxu sensed that Yang ixin was a very pure person.
She couldn’t hit the high-flying Dark Crow, and after thinking for a while, she only then rembered she could attack the Beast Master directly. Can such a person not be pure?
Yang ixin hesitated a bit and said, "I’d like to join you in setting up a Winged Sli breeding facility too, but I’m busy training my pet beasts and have no ti to manage a breeding facility."
Li Cunxu said, "For the breeding facility, you can have your family assign soone to manage it on your behalf."
"Is that possible?"
"It’s possible. As a core family mber, having soone manage a breeding facility isn’t sothing your family would refuse. Besides, just think, once you open a Winged Sli breeding facility, you can have as many Winged Slis as you want in the future. You can have them form a flying bed for you, and by then, you can lie on it, and they’ll fly you around. Riding a flying bed is really enjoyable."
"Flying bed, co here."
Li Cunxu snapped his fingers, and a group of Winged Slis flew over. Among them, a Winged Sli with a peer fusion talent activated its fusion, forming an oversized Winged Sli.
"Wow! Cool!"
Yang ixin hugged the oversized Winged Sli, buried her head into it, and took a deep breath, like a cat lover in withdrawal.
Li Cunxu demonstrated the oversized Winged Sli’s utility, sitting cross-legged atop its head as it carried him in low-altitude flight.
Yang ixin murmured, "I want to play too, I want to play too."
Li Cunxu gave her the seat, and after experiencing it for a while, Yang ixin took a picture of herself with the oversized Winged Sli mid-air and posted it on social dia.
[A day flying with the oversized Winged Sli, absolutely aweso!]
Before long, she received envious comnts from her friends.
"So big, so cute, I want one too."
"Want it, want to ride it, envy envy envy!"
"ixin, where did you buy such a big Winged Sli? I want to buy one too."
"I’ll pay five hundred thousand, no, five million for your oversized Winged Sli."
...
After taking a ride, Yang ixin imdiately agreed to partner with Li Cunxu to open the Winged Sli breeding facility, afraid that if she hesitated any longer, Li Cunxu would change his mind.
The land, construction, and managent of the breeding facility were to be handled by Yang ixin, while Li Cunxu was only responsible for supplying the Winged Slis.
The money from selling Winged Slis would be split equally.
Why would Li Cunxu find soone to open a breeding facility and then give away half of the proceeds from selling Winged Slis?
Because Li Cunxu wanted to use a big na to his advantage.
Initially, Li Cunxu thought selling at two hundred wouldn’t attract envy, but he realized he had underestimated things. He sold at a low price, but scalpers sold at a high price; this ant there were still those who envied the profits from Winged Slis and might have bad intentions.
Although he had hidden the seller’s address, a determined person could still trace it through the shipping details.
