Chapter 321 The milk ordering business is launched, jugs of juice are available, and the Pokémon Mar
Not to mention the salt stone djinn's talent which is very suitable for team play. It can be used as the first lesson after the start of school to give Nemo and others who have returned from the Galar region a cleansing and welcome. Shinji was brought under his command with Clavel.
When the time comes, let them compete to see who can defeat the salt stone giant that carries the leftovers and has become too crystallized first.
As for the combination of moves, they are basically spells, salting, self-regeneration, defense, iron wall, wide area defense, pounce, etc.
The attributes of Taijinghua can be changed a little more. Taijing ghost, Taijing steel, Taijing water, Taijing poison and even Taijing fairy are all good, but they are a bit expensive.
But when the time comes, everyone will definitely smile as if the battle makes me happy, right?
Thinking of this, Luo Mu smiled even more, but all this was still based on the fact that the Salt Stone Barrier and the others could successfully evolve into the Salt Stone Giant Spirit within this month.
Although the hope is a bit slim, maybe after the addition of the soil from the Silver Mountains, the growth rate of the Salt Barriers who have received better nutrition and energy will be accelerated a lot?
Luo Mu skillfully put away the rock salt produced by the Salt Stone Barriers. Just one spray was equivalent to the amount accumulated in a week during the Salt Stone Treasure period, even if it consumed most of the rock salt stored in the Salt Stone Barriers' bodies. , but the output is also extremely impressive.
After a little calculation, Luo Mu was surprised to find that according to the current output, the value of the rock salt produced by the three salt stone barriers in one month is approximately equal to 0.8 Luo Mu's monthly salary.
Wait until they evolve again
Hiss, I don’t dare to think about it anymore!
Luo Mu vaguely understood why many people did not consider being a trainer as their main job. In fact, this profession was not as profitable as other professions at all!
Either you work exhaustingly on missions and invest most of your money in feeding Pokémon and supplying resources like Luo Mu before, or you have a championship cape printed all over your back like the undefeated champion Dandi of the Galar region. Advertising earns advertising fees.
Even Xiao Qian, whom I met not long ago, regards Big Milk Tank Ranch as her main business. I heard from her that her monthly salary as a gym leader is lower than Luo Mu’s current salary, which is the gym leader provided by the alliance. Resources and tax exemption policies are more attractive.
Speaking of tax breaks
While interacting with Hu Hu and Salt Stone Barrier, Luo Mu thought about the issue of taxation.
Basically, when the income reaches several levels, the alliance will collect a certain tax and use this part of the tax to maintain the operation of the alliance.
Although Luo Mu has retired as a champion trainer, his honor will not disappear.
At present, the income of the farm and the income of the teachers have not reached the upper limit of tax exemption, so there is basically no worry about not being taxed.
But when the farm's various businesses develop and income soars, taxes will definitely be levied. Luo Mu thinks this is irrelevant. The alliance maintains the operation of this area and reasonable taxation is a matter of course, and he does not object to it.
However, recently he seemed to have heard that when Yeci was promoting the development of the Padia region, he intended to implement the tax reduction quota for gym owners operating city gyms that could be superimposed with other quotas to increase the number of gyms in each city and develop the region. The purpose of strength.
Just like in the Muji animation, in addition to the officially recommended Eight Avenue Gyms, there are many large and small gyms in other cities. Badges for participating in the alliance conference can also be issued. After all, a region is not limited to those in the game. Several cities exist.
There happened to be no gymnasium in Pingdie Town. If Luo Mu wanted to further reduce taxes, it would be no problem for Luo Mu to establish a gymnasium in Pingdie Town. Maybe he had just submitted his application and Yeci would have approved it in the next second.
That's right, Ye Ci. Thinking of Brother Qingmu's tragic situation, Luo Mu, who was stroking the slippery heads of two pots like turtles, trembled. He felt that instead of completely becoming Ye Ci's subordinate and being exploited by her, it would be better to pay some tax bonds. Kill yourself.
Taking a step back, if Luo Mu really wants to open a gym, he will most likely be a hands-off shopkeeper, letting Zhi Hua Orang be the acting gym owner every day to accept challenges from new trainers, and even bring back some Gardevoir from outside. The maid and Butler Aluredor let them take turns taking shifts with the Chihuahua.
Withdrawing his hand from touching the heads of the two pots, Luo Mu sighed. Instead of thinking about whether these things were available, it would be better to go back and talk to Zhi Hua orangutan about opening up orders for fresh moo moo milk. His intuition told him Luo Mu, maybe this business can take off.
The rock that the Huhus lived on was brought back from the wild by the Swamp Monster not long after. Seeing the Swamp Monster carrying a huge rock that was many times larger than itself with one arm, even if he had long been accustomed to the Swamp Monster's It was so powerful that Luo Mu was still a little shocked.
The location of the rock was placed in the center of the fruit forest, where there is a spacious place to place the rock, and the branches and leaves of the fruit trees extend to protect it from wind and rain to a certain extent.
In fact, when the Huhu siblings came to the orchard full of fragrant fruits, they were immediately dazzled and felt like they had arrived in the country they had dreamed of.
Not only were the high-quality tree fruits that were about to fully mature wherever they looked, but also the huge rock that was very suitable for them. These made the Huhu siblings have a crazy increase in their affection for Luo Mu, who had saved their lives, and also their affection for Luo Mu. Suicune's arrangement was filled with gratitude.
"Do you need me to ask other Pokémon to help you hollow out the rock?" Luo Mu looked at the two Kettles who were wandering around the huge rock with a look of joy on their faces, and then his eyes fell on the giant swamp monster next to him that was eager to try. On the body, "Well, Swampert, if you punch it, the huge rock will crack directly, so let's forget it."
"On the contrary, Mimikyu, Blue Flame Blade Demon and Wind Speed Dog should be able to hollow out the inside quickly."
Hearing this, the giant swamp monster that was eager to try and waved its fist suddenly lowered its head in despair.
Luo Mu was right. He almost forgot that he had punched it. It took him a long time to find a huge rock with good appearance and suitable size in the wild. It either shattered directly into slag or cracked into several petals.
"It's okay, it's okay. You carried such a big rock back to the farm. Huke and the others have already taken your heart. They did a great job!"
Luo Mu touched the head of the giant swamp monster that looked like a lost dog, with a strange expression.
Speaking of which, before time travel, in an era when Pokémon games had not yet been fully Chinese-language, Swampert was also translated by folk translators into Big Water Dog, and Water Jumper was translated into Little Water Dog.
Fortunately, the Swampert was only depressed for a moment before he cheered up again, waving his powerful arms, and walked towards Thunder Lake.
In order to help Huchu and the others find suitable rocks, it has not yet practiced next to the huge wet rocks today.
After the Swampert left, the Huhus came to Luo Mu as if they had thoroughly visited their new home. The blue Huhu sister also demonstrated their ability to drill holes to Luo Mu——
Both of them have learned how to dig holes, and they can just make this "original jade" their new home by themselves.
Since Hu Huhu said so, Luo Mu no longer insisted. He just told them that after building their new home, they could pick some fruits they thought were suitable from the fruit trees and store them at home. After the custom-sized corks arrive, you can start fermenting the fruit and making juice.
If you feel bored, you can go to the nearby apple forest to find tropical dragons and make friends with fruit-gnawing bugs. The apples ripened by fruit-gnawing bugs taste very good.
After the Huhu siblings nodded to indicate that they had remembered, Luo Mu, who had settled the two of them, did not stay any longer and went directly back to his home, where he called Shang Zhihuorang to start discussing the possibility of expanding the milk ordering business.
The final result of the discussion is that it is feasible. Zhihuizang will occasionally go to Pingdie Town for a walk. It can be seen that most families buy Moomo milk that is shipped cold from other cities, loading and unloading the goods during the process. , transportation and sales time are far from the level of being called Moo Moo fresh milk.
The population structure of Pingdie Town is very healthy, with the best ratio of elderly, children, and adults. This also means that the "Moo Moo Fresh Milk" sign proposed by Luo Mu and Zhi Huizang will probably be very effective.
A 750 ml bottle of Moo Moo milk is sold for 500 Union coins in the supermarket. Considering that its quality is average and it is not the freshest Moo Moo milk, this price is actually quite expensive.
Luo Mu plans to purchase a 750 ml glass bottle in bulk for 20 alliance coins.
After calculating the price of filling the glass bottle with Moo Moo fresh milk, Zhihuizhuang thought it was more reasonable to charge 550 alliance coins for a bottle, plus a single delivery fee of 50 alliance coins.
Four of the five large milk tanks are still in sub-adult status, and their milk production will be less than that of adult milk tanks, about 15 liters a day.
After the calculations of the Orang Asli, including the daily consumption of Pokémon on the farm, as well as the consumption of Luo Mu in making various foods, the only 25 liters of moo produced by the large milk tank with the "herbivorous" characteristic were left. Fresh milk, if all the remaining Moo Moo Fresh Milk is sold. If it is fully booked every day, excluding the negligible cost, the single-day income will be enough to reach more than 45,000 alliance coins!
When they got this number, Luo Mu and Zhi Huali looked at each other and took a breath.
Good guy, it turns out that my salary for a month of hard work is not even as good as the five large milk jugs at home.
Then thinking of the dozens of large milk cans in Banze and Xiaoqian's ranch, Luo Mu realized.
It turns out that the rich brother and the rich woman are actually by my side.
As for the distribution of Moo Moo fresh milk after the milk ordering business was launched, both Luo Mu and Zhihuorang felt that they could make full use of the resources at hand.
Instead of letting the Wind Speed Dogs run exhaustingly every day, it would be better to let the three-haired steel-armored crows under the Flame Birds go through systematic training and let them carry out deliveries.
The rewards for delivery can be the extra moo milk and tree fruits produced every day. These foods with extremely high energy and nutritional content are the best rewards for their wild Pokémon.
After completing this series of plans, Luo Mu and Zhi Huali looked at each other and saw intoxication in each other's eyes.
That's pride in the genius of an idea you've come up with.
Before ending the topic, Luo Mu seemed to have remembered something and quickly added: "However, if we let Blue Crow and Steel Armored Crow do the delivery, we must be careful about the Pokémon of the Blacksmith race."
"Little blacksmith?"
There was a sense of confusion in the telepathy transmitted by Zhihuang. It did not recognize this Pokémon.
After Zhi Hua orangutan took out his tablet and looked up the information, he showed a look of sudden realization.
"Little Blacksmith is okay, it's the one being bullied. The main problem is with Blacksmith and Giant Blacksmith. Blacksmith attacks steel-type Pokémon to collect the metal on them. Giant Blacksmith can easily wield more than 100 The huge hammer of 1000 kilograms flew away rocks and attacked the steel-armored crows, taking away their armor."
"Master Sis, they are tough. If they are shot down during flight, not only the Moo Moo Milk will be shattered, causing delivery delays, but the Steel Armored Crow may also be in danger."
Luo Mu nodded in agreement. At the same time, he was very satisfied with the speed of data collection by Zhi Hua Orang, and added another sentence.
"Fortunately, the Little Blacksmiths are mostly distributed in places like Xuzha Town. There are almost no traces of them near the novice village of Pingdie Town, so don't worry too much."
"That's great." Zhihua Orang nodded, with a thoughtful look on his face, "Since establishing contact with the farm, the malnourished blue jays in the Sanmao tribe have successfully evolved one after another after getting enough food, and have almost evolved. There are about ten steel-armored crows, and it would be a disaster if they were targeted by the giant blacksmith clan."
Luo Mu nodded slightly and concluded: "Then the matter is settled. We are going to launch a milk ordering business, and the steel-armored crow tribe led by Sanmao will deliver it, and then pay them appropriate compensation.
Although we want to start a milk ordering business, how to promote this business is still a problem.
Generally speaking, publicity is carried out through three channels.
1. Offline publicity.
Promote through flyers, billboards and other means. This method of publicity is generally suitable for those who are just starting out and are not planning to take too big a step at the beginning.
2. Internet and TV publicity.
Placing advertisements on various websites, inserting advertisements during TV programs, even inviting celebrities to endorse their products, and placing built-in soft advertisements in popular programs are all classified under this promotion model.
For example, if Luo Mu wanted to expand the customer base of the farm and expand the business of Moo Moo Fresh Milk, he could even spend a sum of money to hire Xiao Juer, a dazzling model from the Hezhong area, to endorse her on the catwalk.
Leave the name "Luo Mu Farm" on Dan Emperor's championship cloak.
Invited Kalunai, a well-known star in the Carlos area, to endorse the brand.
Or you can ask a live broadcaster like Qi Shu to insert it directly into her when she updates her video or live broadcast.
But this kind of publicity model is not only a step too far, but also the endorsement fee is not a small amount. At least the farm has not even rushed out of Pingdie Town, so it will not consider this method for the time being.
3. Invisible propaganda methods.
This basically involves attracting customers through word-of-mouth reviews and the influence of oneself and the farm. The above two methods must be combined to achieve significant results.
Luo Mu felt that in addition to hiring people to distribute flyers in Pingdie Town, Luo Mu felt that it would be good to promote it through some activities that would only spread in Pingdie Town.
Fortunately, this opportunity came soon.
On July 6, when Luo Mu went to the market to purchase supplies and prepare for the launch of the milk ordering business, he heard something from Grandma Juzi.
At the end of this month, registration for the Pokémon Marathon, which has been held every year and is spearheaded by the mayor of Pingdie Town, has gradually opened for registration.
On the day of the convention, residents of Pingdie Town, owners of surrounding farms and pastures, and even trainers who are traveling by will sign up to participate in this grand event to select the "mounted Pokémon with the strongest endurance". The winner will be With the attention of most people in the town, he received the honorable award of "Endurance Medal" from the mayor.
Luo Mu was not interested in the "Endurance Medal" or being famous at the Pokémon Marathon, but he was only very concerned about attracting the attention of the whole town during the award ceremony.
If you can win the Pokémon Marathon and say something like "Pokémon's endurance is so strong because it drinks fresh moo-moo milk from the farm, and now it's available for ordering" when awarding the prize, that's it! The publicity effect is no faster than standing in several corners of the town and handing out leaflets repeatedly! ?
Moreover, this Pokémon Marathon will test the "endurance" of Pokémon. In this regard, there happens to be a Pokémon on the farm that has not performed for a long time, which is very suitable for this tournament.
Of course, even if it's a test of speed, Luo Mu has Kuailong and Flame Bird in the air, and on land there is a wind-speed dog that can use super-speed moves and can ride all over the world.
I was just wondering about a better way to promote my business besides handing out leaflets. Didn’t this opportunity come?
The remaining half a month can just be used to make some preparations before starting the business, such as road recognition training for the Steel Armored Crow Sanmao Clan, stocking up on containers, trying to make qualified dairy products, and promoting them at the conference. .
You can also purchase or customize a set of automated milking equipment to ensure that sufficient fresh milk can be prepared every morning.
There is still a lot to do.
On July 7, Luo Mu officially started preparations for the milk ordering business.
It was easy to negotiate the purchase of glass bottles. Although Luo Mu did not want a large quantity, the victory was long-lasting, and his identity as a champion trainer was also known to others through some subsequent words, making many flat discs The residents of the town naturally have a sense of trust in him, which also contributed to this stable business.
It is precisely because of this sense of trust that Luo Mu is not sloppy in his preparations. While striving to make money, he also brings more benefits and convenience to the residents of Pingdie Town.
As a time traveler, Luo Mu knows very well how important the "first impression" is in publicity. Just like those fancy headlines and eye-catching promotional pictures on the Internet before time travel, they need to attract customers to a certain extent. Only by paying attention can you get a steady stream of customers.
Just adding a bottle of Moo Moo Fresh Milk to an empty glass bottle will only make people think that it is a three-no product, which is a bit unreliable.
But if you add some appropriate packaging, it will have a very significant effect, and even make customers recognize your brand and make repeat purchases.
Although Luo Mu currently only plans to launch a daily milk ordering business and has no plans to launch various supermarkets and stores to compete with big brands in other cities, it is best to do the best in this aspect from the beginning. .
To put it simply, it is to put a "label" on the farm's moo milk that is unique to the farm.
After Luo Mu and Zhi Hui Orang referred to a lot of information and some ready-made labels of Moo Moo fresh milk brands, through the production of Zhi Hui Orang, who even knows a little bit about advertising design, the Moo Moo milk that belongs to Luo Mu Farm was created. The "label" of fresh milk was born.
In terms of drawing, Luo Mu relied on his connections to find Bashuo, and asked the eldest son of the dragon trainer family to work with Kousha, a well-known artist in the Padia area and the leader of Shenbo Town Gym, to draw a picture for him. Drawing, used to print on labels.
The painting is very simple, because it is a label affixed to a glass bottle. In the only small space, the two of them painted five large Q-version milk bottles with a little bit of their style, plus artistic fonts. "Luo Mu Farm" and the majestic-looking head of the Roentgen cat next to it.
If fans of Bashuo and Kosha knew that they actually painted glass bottles for a small farm, they might travel thousands of miles to Pingdie Town just to buy a bottle of Moo Moo fresh milk.
So when you go out, you have to have some background and connections.
While busy preparing for the milk ordering business, Luo Mu naturally did not forget the crops that were planted in the farming area not long ago.
Luo Mu was deeply impressed by the watermelon fields in Ain Duo Ok, so after returning to Padea from the Hezhong area, Luo Mu opened up a new field for them in the farming area with heavy mud draft horses and flower treatments. , specially used to grow watermelons.
Ordinary crops, nourished by Victini's strengthening + flower healing ring and the grass-type Pokémon using the special grass field taught by Capu Moo, have gone through several growth processes in just one month. Go straight to maturity.
When he just returned to the farm from the Chengdu area, Luo Mu was busy dealing with various things and had no time to see the watermelon fields. After the labeling matter came to an end and he had a little free time, Luo Mu directly took the Roentgen cat and Bikti Together they came to the watermelon field in the farming area.
When he saw the watermelon field with his own eyes, shock spread in his heart.
I saw watermelon vines intertwined with each other in the field, swaying gently in the breeze, and the watermelon flowers that were in full bloom when Luo Mu left had now turned into huge round watermelons, with their smooth jade surfaces shining in the sunlight. Sparkling underneath.
The Roentgen cat raised its head and sniffed, and the tip of its nose was filled with the fragrance of the watermelon that was about to ripen. As steady as it was, it couldn't help but start to daydream about the sweetness and juiciness of the watermelon's flesh.
Looking at the familiar melon fields, Victini's memories were brought back.
It reminded me of the melon fields in the orchard near the Castle of the Earth Sword of Aindo Oak.
Those were one of the few happy memories it had in those thousand years, admiring the bright night sky with its wild Pokémon friends in the hot summer, sitting in a row and enjoying delicious watermelon.
"Tini!"
Victini let out a cheer and rushed into the melon field with his friends, proudly helping them pick up watermelons based on his own experience.
Seeing this, Luo Mu showed a helpless smile and shouted: "Don't worry, Zhi Hua Orang said it will take a few days for the watermelon to be ripe!"
