Wesright chuckled, took off his golden pocket watch and glanced at it, then said, "Young man, I can give you three minutes!"
"Mr. Wesright, what do you think determines the 'value' of an item?" Xu Lang leaned back tactically, staring at Wesright with profound aning.
Wesright pondered for a mont before replying, "Value lies in circulation. Anything that can circulate has value."
Xu Lang shook his head, his expression clearly stating 'you are completely wrong.'
Wesright's brows furrowed, looking sowhat displeased.
Xu Lang casually pulled out a piece of white paper and said, "How much do you think this piece of paper is worth?"
"At most one Copper Coin," Wesright replied.
"If you were to sell it, how much could you sell it for?" Xu Lang smiled.
"Of course, also one Copper Coin."
"Please sign it!"
Wesright did not take the pen Xu Lang offered. Instead, he stared at the white paper, deep in thought.
After a few breaths, he seed to have realized sothing, his eyes suddenly gleaming with sharp light.
"The value of an item is aning. As long as the aning is sufficient, people are willing to pay, even at a premium ten thousand tis higher, soone will buy it!" Xu Lang laughed. "This is also the essence of currency."
Along the way, Wesright had been highly respected. This paper signed by him would at least increase in value tenfold. With so hype, the value would be limitless.
Xu Lang had experienced too many marketing tricks in the peaceful era and understood this play inside out.
"Interesting, interesting, truly interesting!" Wesright roared with laughter.
Xu Lang smiled and said,
"Mr. Wesright, I wonder what your main business is?"
"I can offer you financial advice. If you don't agree with this financial advice, I won't charge you any fee."
Wesright's laughter didn't stop, gradually becoming wild, morbid, and chilling. His aura rapidly intensified, pressing down until the air emitted creaking sounds!
Tong Qi's expression changed slightly, ready to release her ghosts.
Xu Ruyan was also preparing to take action.
Right at that mont, all the lights in the entire circus instantly went out.
The scene plunged into darkness!
Tong Qi and Xu Ruyan's faces changed drastically, their skills about to be unleashed the next second.
*Snap~*
At the critical mont, Xu Lang pressed his hands on the shoulders of the two won.
In his Sixth Sense, Wesright's aura had beco utterly terrifying, yet there was no malice.
...
A single beam of light fell on the stage, illuminating a middle-aged male magician in a tailcoat standing within the cylindrical light, bowing in greeting.
He first thanked the audience for coming to watch the performance, then began introducing the next seven performance items.
They were: Clown Farce, Hoop Ballet, Animal Taming Show, Knife Throwing Performance, Challenge the Impossible, Flying Trapeze, and Acrobatics Carnival.
As he spoke, so faint lights gradually brightened, including the lights in the VIP room.
Xu Ruyan and Tong Qi also got a clear look at Wesright's appearance.
Although he was no longer emitting that chilling laughter, it made the two won feel even more horrified!
Large clumps of blackish-gray goose feathers erged from Wesright's suit, and his face transford into an avian-like appearance, with a sharp beak nearly twenty centiters long. His gray eyes glead with cunning and shrewd light!
A raven? A mothman? A demon? Or so other monster?!
The two won didn't know how to describe the monster before them.
"The value of an item is aning. That's an interesting perspective." Wesright took out a black crystal from his breast pocket and tossed it to Xu Lang. "This is a Soul Stone produced by my factory. Consider it my tuition fee to you."
"You are too kind." Xu Lang chuckled as he caught the black crystal. He was remarkably unfazed by Wesright's transformation, treating it as if he were dreaming.
[Soul Stone]
[Type: Item]
[Level: 10]
[Description: A soul crystal. Can be used as food for ghosts and Guardian Spirits, or as a raw material. Has diverse uses.]
After checking the information, Xu Lang was inwardly astonished.
This NPC, whose stats were all question marks, was indeed generous, casually giving out a level ten item.
"Haha, I'm not so old fossil clinging to a high position. You are better than , so I should pay tuition." Wesright chuckled.
When he laughed, his gray feathers trembled lightly, shedding gray dust while reflecting a malicious and loathso phosphorescent glow.
Tong Qi and Xu Ruyan felt nauseous, barely holding back from vomiting.
This disgust ca from a primal instinct, like seeing a humanoid moth fluttering right in front of you.
"You are too magnanimous. I am enlightened." Xu Lang wore a look of admiration.
Why did Wesright dress so splendidly, if not to make people revere him?
Seeing Xu Lang's adoring expression, Wesright was indeed very pleased. He laughed heartily and said, "Young man, let's hear it. What positive effect can you have on my assets?"
"Before that, I need to understand what core assets you have, or which industries you are particularly concerned about." Xu Lang replied with a smile.
"Industries I'm concerned about?" Wesright frowned, sighing with a headache. "To keep up with the pace of industrialization, I founded a Flesh Mill and a Grudge Workshop. Both are currently operating at a loss."
"Flesh Mill?" Xu Lang raised an eyebrow.
"It's a at processing factory. Currently, our main processed product is canned human at." Wesright said sorrowfully.
Buying that production line had truly cost him a lot of money back then.
"Do you have a product sample?" Xu Lang asked.
"This." Wesright flipped his hand and produced a black can, then casually hooked it open with his finger.
When they saw the food inside, the expressions on Tong Qi and Xu Ruyan's faces completely changed.
"Your canned product isn't made very well. Why is there still hair in it?" Xu Lang said carefully.
"That makes the texture more varied, and the custors don't mind it anyway." Wesright shook his head.
Xu Lang looked Wesright up and down. "Then, Mr. Wesright, do you prefer the texture of bone fragnts or flesh?"
"Bone fragnts, more chewy." Wesright replied.
Xu Lang clapped his hands and laughed. "Isn't that the problem? You haven't done refined processing. No wonder you're losing money."
"Refined processing?" Wesright was puzzled.
Xu Lang nodded:
"Yes. So custors like to eat skin, so like to eat bones, so like to eat at. Why don't you make three types of cans? This way, you can precisely hit the custors' pleasure points. Also, you can inject more human blood into the cans, so the contents won't look sparse!"
"Think about it. Other canned human at brands can only offer a mixed, indiscriminate, lumpy eating experience. Your cans have already achieved refined processing. That's the difference!"
"With just a skinning worker and a blood extraction worker, you can achieve a dinsional advantage over other brands and even create more job opportunities!"
"Who wouldn't address you as the esteed Lord Wesright after that?"
Wesright's breathing beca rapid. The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seed.
Precision operations could directly improve product quality and reputation!
"If custors have no demand, you create demand for them!" Xu Lang put his arm around Wesright's shoulder. "Once your brand effect is elevated, you can launch heart cans, thigh cans, pectoral muscle cans, each with different price tags, quickly occupying every niche in the market. The whole world will be filled with your products then!"
