Lucifer sacrificed too much for world peace

After the review, Lucifer decided to take the opportunity to change his way of doing business.

Strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a trial operation before, because everything is just going with the flow—Einstein thought this store was for food, so he took advantage of the opportunity to use food to lure the other party to play the game before having a chance to eat, and waited for the other party to eat. After eating, let the other party watch and give the money. In fact, I didn't think too much about it.

However, this model has been inherited, leading to Lucifer's store positioning is relatively high, and there are not many people who can take out silver coins to spend in the Apple store every day. He seems to make a lot of money every time, but it is actually a hidden loss. More.

However, because he knew that there would be a church review on the second day after opening the store, Lucifer didn't bother to bother, and planned to wait for the review before making changes——

Start today.

Einstein came to the door on the first day after the review: "Congratulations!"

"Thank you." Lucifer said calmly.

"What did the review team eat yesterday?" Einstein asked curiously.

I heard from Grandpa Bill's grandson that Grandpa Bill was constipated last night, and he refused to say what he ate when asked, which is really curious.

"Snail powder." Lucifer didn't hide it, "a kind of food that smells bad and tastes delicious."

Einstein, who had never experienced it himself, felt nothing. He thought it was something similar to stinky cheese. He couldn't understand the mood of the four people yesterday. After satisfying his curiosity, he put this matter behind him and asked Get down to business.

"By the way, I saw the sign at the door saying that the trial method has changed...?"

Lucifer nodded, and turned on the flickering mode: "After the inspection team came yesterday, I reflected on my own trial method and felt that it was not very good."

Einstein was very confused: "What's wrong?"

"Passing the trial, accepting rewards, and giving challenge gold—this process seems to be that the focus of everyone is not the trial, but the rewards later. The impact is too bad."

"...Well." Listening to Lucifer's words, Einstein thought guiltily, it seems that most of his heart is for the reward, "Then what do you plan to change?"

Lucifer has already thought about it: "First of all, the model needs to be changed. Regardless of whether you can pass the trial or not, you must pay the challenge fee in advance. This will prove your sincerity for the trial, not just for rewards—the challenge cannot be cancelled." You also understand Jin's reason, and the reward I prepared was not blown by the wind."

According to this model, whether it is the money of the winner or the loser, he can earn it.

Einstein nodded, thinking that what Lucifer said made sense!

If you don't get 100% of the reward and refuse to pay, isn't it obviously for the reward?God does not encourage such utilitarian behavior!

"Then there is the price of the challenge gold... The initial price of 1 silver coin was yours, but then it became the default inexplicably. I think this price is easy to scare away other people who are willing to challenge, so the challenge gold is priced at 100 copper coins."

This time, Einstein was really shocked.

"100 copper coins?!"

Isn't this one-tenth of a silver coin? !Is the price cut too exaggerated?The spices for a bowl of noodles alone cost at least seven or eight times the price!

Einstein was in awe of Lucifer now.

As expected of a sage who can come up with such a novel test, he really has no selfish intentions. Every time a person passes the test, the sage will pay at least half a silver coin!

Because of this respect, even though he was a vested interest, Einstein couldn't help persuading him: "Isn't the price too low, why not 500 copper coins?"

He was really worried that the sage would lose all his family fortune, even if he wanted to give back to the society, he didn't have to do this. Mr. sage is really kind.

Lucifer, who was regarded as "how much to sell", knew nothing about his image in Einstein's mind suddenly becoming great: "No, I hope more people will participate in the trial, and the threshold should be lower. "

This is called small profits but quick turnover.

If it was before, Lucifer certainly wouldn't price it so low, but wouldn't this open up the store section and have a wholesale channel?

1 silver coin can wholesale 5 packs of noodles, and he can make two bowls of noodles in one pack, which is equivalent to the cost of each bowl of noodles being 100 copper coins.

and……

This is just the winner's challenge money, and the loser will also earn some money!

In this case, for a two-player game like backgammon and go, a table can get 200 copper coins, and the cost is removed to earn 100 copper coins for nothing.

If it is four-player poker, if there is only one winner, and the table is 400 copper coins, he can earn 300 copper coins!No matter what, you won't lose money!

The important thing is that after the price drops to one-tenth of the previous per capita consumption, customers who originally had no money or were worried about God's punishment and waited and watched will be shaken.

Of course, it is not acceptable to spend a lot of money to enjoy delicious food, but after the value of the reward is much higher than the price they paid, they will feel that this is the result of their own hard work, and there will be no more psychological burden.

Lucifer has understood the mentality of people in this world, and this is a new marketing method tailored for them.

Although the money earned from each person is less, once the passenger flow increases, the original turnover will soon be exceeded.

The math is good, but he has no economic sense. The point is that Einstein, who has a serious error in cost estimation, can't see through this operation. He only feels that he was moved by the heart of the sage, and he burst into tears: "Sage! I understand! I support all your decisions!"

Lucifer: "...?"

Lucifer, who thinks he already understands the mentality of others, is not sure now... Einstein, what did he think, why are his eyes so red?

Just when they were wondering, Ludwig Goss came with his girlfriend, Miss Dumas. Seeing Einstein's excited posture, they were startled, and they swallowed back their congratulations on passing the trial .

Einstein felt that he wanted to let others understand the sacrifice of Lord Sage, so he took the initiative to step forward and explained the new rules to them.

No doubt the newcomers were also touched.

Alexandre Dumas clenched his fist: "I will publicize it in the next issue of the newspaper."

Einstein nodded vigorously: "Please!"

Gauss coughed: "That...can I start?"

Although he was also very moved by the sacrifice of the sage, the price reduction was indeed beneficial to him-even if the family still had some spare money, it was not enough to support him to spend silver coins every day to challenge.Now the price is much more affordable, and he selfishly agrees with this change.

Lucifer thought for a while and asked, "For the sake of helping me, do you want to try a new challenge?"

The help he said meant that if someone asked him about the content of the trial in his shop, he would answer with vague content such as [math-related puzzles on the checkerboard]. Dumas's propaganda in the newspaper was also the same.

Because it is not a lie, they all agreed. Even if the other guests said backgammon or go, because of the change of the rules, it was summarized as the "chessboard and mathematical puzzle" summarized by Gauss and others, so that Lucifer will use Sudoku to toss People take it for granted.

As for why not use Sudoku before the censorship... Lucifer hopes that people can enjoy the fun of playing the game. The uncertainty of Sudoku is a bit high, so give it up for now. After the censorship is spread, interested people will come to the door to talk about it Bar.

Everyone, including Alexandre Dumas, was very curious about what the new trial was.The challenges of Mr. Sage are very interesting, and they are completely different from other trials.

Lucifer moved out his newly drawn chessboard.

Everyone surrounded it curiously, and found that it was a hexagonal chessboard with regular circular holes.There are small organs on the chessboard, and when opened, there are small glass balls of various colors inside.

Under the guidance of Lucifer, everyone took out glass balls of four colors and placed them on the chessboard.They couldn't put it down very much for the polished and beautiful glass balls, but resisted the urge to ask the glass factory and waited for Lucifer to explain the rules.

Lucifer coughed: "This time, it's called checkers, and the rules are closely related to jumping."

As he spoke, he demonstrated and explained to them.

"Like this, you can jump over... This kind of jump can be done several times in a row, as long as you reach the opposite position, you will win."

Compared with the lack of interest in Go before, Alexandre Dumas is very interested in checkers, and now that the challenge gold has dropped to 100 copper coins, she chose to join the battle without hesitation——Lucifer is happy to see the results, he lowered the price just to make money Such a person's money!

Wearing a filter, Einstein exaggerated the meaning of checkers: "It turns out that when designing your own route, you should also consider other people's routes. This is a way to exercise your overall view."

Gauss also pondered: "The Go game last time is also very suitable for exercising the overall situation, but Christina prefers this mode."

Lucifer: "...you are right."

take it easy!They don't understand the fun of playing games yet!There is a long way to go!

[Price reduction is a good strategy. 】Now that the dust has settled, the alarm clock finally rang, 【But you don’t intend to rely on instant noodles alone, do you?What about the expensive food that is pulled from the pool? 】

"Those."

Lucifer said calmly: "Don't worry, I have other plans. We have to earn money from rich people."
