Chapter 79 The Cluster Effect of Stores
Song Jie waited outside the door for a moment and then saw someone opening the door from the inside.
“Brother Song, you came back very early today.” Shi Lei laughed.
Song Jie nodded and said, “The elixirs sold out faster today, so I closed the stall early.”
“Then wait a moment, I’ll pack up, and then we’ll set off.”
Shi Lei left a few words and went back to the house to tidy up.
After a while, he appeared at the gate again.
“Let’s go.”
With that said, the two of them walked together toward the commercial district near the center of Xinyuefang.
As Shi Lei walked, he said, “Brother Song, what do you think about the location of the store?”
“Brother, I do have some humble opinions.”
Song Jie smiled slightly and continued: “The location of the store must first be a place with a large flow of people, and the second is the visibility of the store.
“The store should be located in a location where it is easily noticed by pedestrians, such as at the corner of the street.”
When Shi Lei heard this, he immediately nodded and praised: “Brother Song is indeed very insightful.
“Brother, I just thought of finding a place with a lot of people, but I didn’t think about the conspicuous location of the store.”
Song Jie continued with a smile: “In addition to the flow of people and visibility, we must also consider the surrounding business environment.”
“Business environment? What does this mean?”
Hearing this unfamiliar term, Shi Lei felt a little confused.
He knew every word, but when they were put together, he didn’t know what they meant.
Song Jie explained patiently: “To put it simply, we need to choose a location adjacent to other related or complementary stores.
“For example, Brother Shi sells weapons, so he can choose the area adjacent to the clothing store.
“If I sell elixirs, I can choose the lot adjacent to the medicine store.
“In this way, a cluster effect can be formed, which can effectively increase the possibility of passers-by entering the store to make purchases.”
After listening to Song Jie’s explanation, Shi Lei suddenly had an unknown feeling.
He looked at Song Jie and asked, “Then let’s open a store together to sell weapons and armor as well as elixirs. Which location adjacent to the store should we choose?”
“In fact, when we open a store together, it is also a cluster effect in itself, as we all have customers with the same needs.
“We can find a block with a magic charm shop, or a block with shops selling elixirs or weapons.
“These are relatively good options.”
Shi Lei couldn’t help but sigh, and praised: “Fortunately, I found Brother Song to open a store as a partner. If I have to think about these things, I can’t think of them at all.”
“These are the experiences I learned from refining alchemy in the Baodan Pavilion before.”
Song Jie laughed, took out the name Baodan Tower, and found a reasonable explanation for himself.
Shi Lei had no doubts about this.
After that, the two of them said nothing more.
After arriving at a block near the downtown area of Xinyuefang, where shops are concentrated, he first looked at the shops that Shi Lei had asked his friends to help identify for sublease.
In the end, after Song Jie’s evaluation, only one store could barely meet the requirements.
The two of them were not in a hurry to rent the shop right away, and planned to see more and make comparisons.
Until the evening, the two of them had not made up their minds.
Choosing a store location is something that you shouldn’t rush too much and needs to be considered in many ways.
After all, once it is determined, a large amount of spiritual stones will be invested in renovating the store, and subsequent operations will also require a lot of costs.
Both of them are very patient about this. Whether they open the store a few days earlier or a few days later has no impact on them.
So we agreed to find time to come out and continue looking at the store another day.
After returning home, it was getting dark.
Song Jie first practiced spells and body movements in the yard for half an hour.
After enjoying today’s dinner, I took a relaxing hot bath.
At this point, the busy day is finally over.
After returning to the room, Song Jie began to think about going to Tianxiang Tower for consultation tomorrow.
According to the pharmacological knowledge he had, it seemed that women had no exact equivalent of the aphrodisiacs.
In this regard, the situation of women is more complicated than that of men, and it usually requires appropriate treatment.
There are few medications that work for all women.
Of course, these are the conclusions Song Jie drew based on his knowledge before time travel.
Now he is in the world of cultivating immortals, with all kinds of magical powers, and everything is possible.
“It seems we still have to wait until the consultation tomorrow to know the specific situation.”
Song Jie felt a little headache when he thought of those charming prostitutes in Tianxiang Tower.
“Tomorrow will probably be a tough battle…sigh~”
With a slight sigh, Song Jie immediately sat cross-legged and meditated and began tonight’s practice.
……
The next day.
Song Jie arrived at Tianxiang Tower on time as agreed.
At this time, Tianxiang Tower had just opened its doors, and the interior seemed a bit deserted.
As soon as he entered Tianxiang Tower, Song Jie saw Alan already waiting here.
When Alan saw Song Jie coming in, he immediately said with a smile: “Master Song, you are here~” The girls are all ready, you come with me. “
Song Jie couldn’t help but blinked when he heard this.
This sentence sounds a bit weird, as if he came to Tianxiang Tower to do something bad.
Although he was thinking this, Song Jie still followed Alan obediently.
Going upstairs, the two of them soon arrived at the third floor of Tianxiang Tower.
“Alchemist Song, please come here.”
The two of them walked to a room with a closed door. Alan first made a gesture of invitation to Song Jie.
Then he gently pushed the door open with both hands.
In an instant, Song Jie’s eyes froze and widened, and his heart beat faster.
When the door opened, what came into view was a riot of purple and red.
Several charming and enchanting women are sitting or standing in the room.
Their figures are like flowers blooming in spring, each with its own style, and together they form a fragrant picture.
Each of these women is uniquely charming.
Some are as gentle as water, with tenderness shining in their eyes.
Some are as passionate as fire, exuding endless vitality with every frown and smile.
Others are as cold as ice and have a noble temperament that makes people feel unattainable.
They may lower their eyebrows shyly, or smile gracefully, or have flowing eyes, or stand gracefully, just like a moving picture of a lady.
Song Jie’s nose twitched and he felt a faint fragrance filling the air.
It was a unique smell intertwined with the rouge fragrance on the women’s bodies and the incense in the house, which made people intoxicated involuntarily.
For a moment, Song Jie was in a trance, feeling like he had traveled through time again…
Travel into a dreamlike wonderland.
Looking at these beautiful women with their own characteristics in front of him, even with Song Jie’s firm Taoist heart, he couldn’t help but stir up some waves.
