The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 197. Trick the pig into coming in to kill
Chapter 197: 197. Trick the pig into coming in to kill
Even if the Innate Yang Qi was absorbed, Wei Yuanling wouldn’t be able to rank.
Fang Zhou still had seven little gourd children waiting for education by his side, where could he spare any attention for Wei Yuanling, this fringe material?
So, when Fang Zhou saw Wei Yuanling again today, he couldn’t understand the hint of resentment in her eyes at all.
Fang Zhou courteously said to Wei Yuanling: "Shopkeeper Wei, congratulations on your promotion."
Wei Yuanling had managed the Heavenly Sword Daily impressively, and recently, the Heavenly Sword Sect was preparing to bestow her the elder position.
Wei Yuanling quickly put away that touch of resentment and also smiled: "Thanks to Taoist Fang, Yuanling could never have achieved today if it wasn’t for you."
These words were sincere. Without the Heavenly Sword Daily, Wei Yuanling would never dream of becoming an elder.
Fang Zhou didn’t waste words with her, directly stating his purpose.
Wei Yuanling was shocked to hear that Fang Zhou had actually become the general manager of the anniversary celebration and trade fair, her jaw dropped in astonishment.
It wasn’t that she didn’t believe Fang Zhou, just that it was too surprising that the Heavenly Sword Sect entrusted such a significant matter to an outsider.
However, considering Fang Zhou’s various miraculous performances after joining the Heavenly Sword Sect, this matter seemed not too unbelievable.
Wei Yuanling was overjoyed, indeed she had clung to a big thigh; if she had known earlier, she would not have been so reserved and launched a night raid on Moon Viewing Peak.
She promptly patted her heaving chest, making Fang Zhou’s eyes blurry: "Taoist Fang, just give the orders, I will do my best to comply."
Fang Zhou took out his manuscript, which he had written last night, and asked Wei Yuanling to copy its content into the newspaper. From now until the start of the trade fair, every issue of the Heavenly Sword Daily must fully publicize the Heavenly Sword Sect’s fair.
Anyone who has experienced modern society knows the importance of publicity, sometimes it could be even more vital than product quality.
Even if the wine is good, it would still fear a deep lane; without publicity, no matter how good the product is, no one would know, turning it useless and moldy.
The trade fair is the same; first, it must achieve universal awareness.
Others must first know that there’s such a fair, then they can judge its merits based on the information and decide whether to attend according to their needs.
In past trade fairs of Heavenly Sword Sect, the awareness only covered Jingnan State, which is seriously insufficient.
How many sects are there in Jingnan State? How many individual cultivators? Even if all came, it wouldn’t fill the toilet.
To make the trade fair bigger and stronger, Fang Zhou must make its awareness cover the entire Cultivation World, ensuring that every sect and individual cultivator knows there is such a trade fair hosted by the Heavenly Sword Sect. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
It used to be very difficult, almost impossible to achieve this.
But now with Heavenly Sword Daily, it is completely different. Using the bloodbun scenario of Xuanji Sect being attacked by cults, Heavenly Sword Daily’s awareness is soaring, and with no market competitors, it’s rapidly expanding.
Using this platform, Fang Zhou could spread the trade fair’s advertisements beyond the distant Central Plains, maximizing its awareness.
With publicity channels in place, writing good advertisements is also a challenge.
If the advertisement lacks attractiveness, people would forget it after a glance, nullifying the publicity effect.
Thus, Fang Zhou racked his brains to make the advertisements for the trade fair incredibly enticing, so much so that Wei Yuanling was astonished when she finished reading the manuscript.
"Thunder Pill, Refining Heart Herb, Heavenly Luo Immortal Orchid, Soul-breaking Netherworld Mushroom, Returning Diagram, Sea Burning Green Flame Bell..."
Wei Yuanling listed dozens of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures along with precious Magic Treasures in one breath, staring at Fang Zhou: "Do we really have so many good things?"
The advertisement listed well over these items, adding up to a whole hundred types.
Heavenly Sword Sect couldn’t gather even ten or more items without emptying their reserves, let alone getting so many good things.
Fang Zhou nonchalantly said: "It’s just for publicity, trick them into coming first."
As long as people come, the trade fair succeeds halfway.
Since they’ve come, they surely would stroll around first.
This is a common trait among humans, associating unrelated matters, as if not strolling around would make the trip feel wasted.
This advertisement might involve some false advertising, but Fang Zhou didn’t believe there’s a government office in Cultivation World that would mess with him.
Wei Yuanling was still worried: "But if they come to the fair and find out these Heavenly Materials and Magic Treasures aren’t for sale, what should we do?"
Fang Zhou shrugged: "It’s simpler, just hang a sold-out sign."
It’s not that we didn’t sell, we just sold out. Blame yourselves for coming too late.
Wei Yuanling took a deep breath, staring at Fang Zhou.
How can this person be so shameless, deceiving people over thousands of miles only to tell them the items are sold out?
This is literally tricking pigs into the slaughterhouse for killing.
Aren’t you afraid of Heavenly Sword Sect getting smashed?
Of course, Fang Zhou wouldn’t be afraid. If Heavenly Sword Sect could be smashed easily, there wouldn’t be any point in hosting a trade fair.
Besides, the advertisement is just the first step to trick people into coming; Fang Zhou has more ways to make them spend money at the fair.
Guarantee they’ll be lingering, wanting to come again next year.
And these Heavenly Materials advertisements are just the first issue, Fang Zhou will gradually release more news later, keeping the advertisement fresh and step by step increasing readers’ attention.
Although still full of doubts, Wei Yuanling didn’t dare to disobey Fang Zhou, thus following the order to replace the advertisements in Heavenly Sword Daily with these, ensuring every reader would see them, using the front page.
After resolving the advertisement matter, Fang Zhou asked Wei Yuanling to collect all the serialized works by Lao Shiji from the first issue of Wangyue Daily to present and print them into a book.
Originally, Fang Zhou wanted to bundle Lao Shiji’s works with manga for sale, but mass-production issues with manga couldn’t be resolved in time, so he could only use Lao Shiji’s collected works at the fair first.
Wei Yuanling agreed, she had secretly collected all of Lao Shiji’s works herself, believing many disciples of Heavenly Sword Sect did the same.
She would now gather them all and print them into books.
After finalizing the publicity matters, Fang Zhou, alongside Yu Qing, rushed to Iron Sword Mountain nonstop.
Heavenly Sword Sect’s deacons worked fast without delay, within a short time, they had already used shuttles to transport numerous craftsmen and able-bodied youths from Yunshan City to Iron Sword Mountain.
The Yunshan City government office had no objection, even planning to dispatch soldiers to help Heavenly Sword Sect forcefully recruit people.
Luckily, Heavenly Sword Sect was wealthy, plus Fang Zhou expressly ordered the government office not to conscript people forcibly but to employ them, working for money.
Iron Sword Mountain.
The City Lord of Sword Casting City, Wu Tie, was feeling bewildered, watching thousands of bewildered youths disembark from large shuttles, followed by continuous shuttle transports.
Are they building another Sword Casting City?
Wu Tie didn’t know what the sect was up to, he could only send staff to maintain order, preventing these craftsmen from wandering.
Before long, Wu Tie spotted Fang Zhou and Yu Qing approaching, prompting her to orchestrate sending her daughter, Wu Lin, to come.
