'Master, don't think too much. Just tell them that martial arts cannot be mastered in a short period of time, and let them choose whether to join the martial arts school or not,' Lin Yun said with a smile, as he knew Yan Dashan very well and could tell what he was thinking.
'By the way, Master, what is the tuition you charge now?' After a pause, Lin Yun remembered something and asked.
He first followed Yan Dashan to learn martial arts more than ten years ago, and now that more than ten years have passed, the tuition cannot have remained the same.
'One thousand yuan a year.' Hearing Lin Yun's previous words, Yan Dashan was deep in thought, and upon hearing Lin Yun's question, he immediately said.
'Is this the only level?' Lin Yun asked.
'This is the only level,' Yan Dashan nodded.
He treats all his students equally. At most, if the other person is talented and willing to learn, he will put in more effort and may not charge them tuition. Nowadays, fewer and fewer people are willing to learn martial arts. If a promising student stops learning martial arts because of tuition, he will feel sorry.
If the other person pays less, and he hides some of the teaching, he will feel bad about it in his heart.
Lin Yun sighed slightly.
After all these years, the master is still so honest.
No wonder the master was cheated so badly by that Wang Jie.
'The tuition fees that the master charges are a bit low. If the master doesn't want to charge different fees, he can charge 3,000 yuan a year, 5,000 yuan for two years, and 6,000 yuan for three years,' Lin Yun shook his head and said.
Over the years, his experiences outside have made him realise how precious the martial arts knowledge that his master taught them is.
Martial artists are not so easy to cultivate. Hundreds or thousands of martial artists may not necessarily be able to achieve it. He is not sure how it is in the past five years, but from the time he entered Dashan Martial Arts School to learn martial arts to the time he left, in ten years, his master has cultivated a total of seven or eight martial artists. Although they are only at the early stage of Ming Jin, it is hard to say whether they will reach a higher realm later.
By the way, that Wang Jie has already broken through to the middle stage of Ming Jin.
From this, we can see the value of the martial arts knowledge that his master taught them.
Three thousand yuan a year, five thousand yuan for two years, and six thousand yuan for three years is really not expensive.
'This is too expensive, isn't it?' Yan Dashan exclaimed in surprise.
'The martial arts knowledge that the master teaches is worth this price,' Lin Yun said with a faint smile.
'Three thousand yuan a year is not expensive. The amount I pay at Yinghao Martial Arts Club is 500 yuan more than that, and I am willing to pay it. Please, Master Yan, teach me martial arts,' a student said hurriedly after hearing Lin Yun's conversation with Yan Dashan.
'Three thousand a year is less than 300 a month. This teaches real kung fu. Brother Lin Yun is right. It's worth the price. What's more, it's 1,000 yuan cheaper for two years, 3,000 yuan cheaper for three years, which is equivalent to just 2,000 yuan a year. I'm willing to pay that price to learn kung fu at Dashan Martial Arts Academy. I'll pay for three years.' One student did some simple calculations and quickly nodded in agreement.
'I'm willing to pay...'
'I'm willing to learn...'
Many students quickly nodded as well.
Some students were originally hesitant because they had just heard Yan Dashan say that it was originally only 1,000 a year, but now, after Lin Yun said it, it had become 3,000 a year, an extra 2,000 yuan, which was no small sum in Xianyuan County.
However, after seeing that many students agreed with the price, they also nodded in agreement with the price.
They were afraid that if they said it was too slow, Yan Dashan would not accept them, or that if they accepted them, they would not teach with all their heart, which would be a big loss.
In this regard, it is better not to save money, otherwise, if the other party teaches you less or holds back, you will suffer.
What's more, compared to Yinghao Martial Arts School's fees, Dashan Martial Arts School's fees are not high.
'Don't think this price is high. I'll tell you, it's not. The original master charged a low price, but that was because the master was too honest. As long as you listen to the way the master teaches and as long as you can persevere, you will definitely achieve something,' Lin Yun looked at these people and said lightly.
'Speaking of perseverance, there is one more thing. I will say this for Master here. Not every student can achieve great things. This has to do with one's talent for martial arts, and perseverance in practising martial arts is very important. This perseverance does not refer to a short period of time, a few years at most, or even a decade or more, which is very normal. I have been practising martial arts since I was young, and it took me fifteen years to reach my current level...' Lin Yun paused and said,
'So, whether you learn martial arts at Dashan Martial Arts Academy or not, you must think carefully,' Lin Yun said at last, looking at these people.
'Lin Yun, don't say anymore. I can persevere. It's just a matter of ten years. I'm still young now, and in ten years, I won't be very old. It's no problem. I'll learn for three years first...'
'I have no problem with it either. I'll learn for three years too...'
'Lin Yun, I'll learn for three years too...'
Lin Yun underestimated the shock value of his previously demonstrated strength. Although he had already explained the difficulty of the martial arts learning process, he still could not stop the enthusiasm of these students for learning martial arts. One after another, they excitedly said that they could not wait to pay the tuition fees and start learning immediately.
In the end, of the fifty or sixty people here, only a few did not learn for various reasons, and all the rest joined Dashan Martial Arts Academy.
Moreover, most of them paid the three-year tuition fees.
In theory, 6,000 yuan is not a small expense for an average family in Xianyuan County.
But Yinghao Martial Arts Academy is not an ordinary martial arts academy. These people can learn martial arts at Yinghao Martial Arts Academy, and they are relatively well-off.
Many of those who don't have that much money can call their families and talk it over, and they will get the money.
Li Xing'er was in charge of collecting the fees, writing out receipts, and collecting the fees from dozens of people in a row, writing dozens of receipts, almost making her little hand write until it was soft.
'Okay, everyone go home for now, and tomorrow, you come here and start learning martial arts!' Yan Dashan was very excited as he watched the scene.
'Brother Lin Yun, you are really amazing! Dashan Martial Arts Academy has enrolled more than 50 students today, and most of them have paid the tuition fee of 6,000 yuan. We have earned a total of about 300,000 yuan today!' The crowd dispersed, and Li Xing'er rushed over to Lin Yun and said excitedly.
Three hundred thousand yuan is equivalent to the income of Dashan Martial Arts Academy's original enrolment of 300 students. Dashan Martial Arts Academy originally might not be able to achieve this level in two or three years, but now, it has done so in just one afternoon.
Originally, she didn't quite understand the three-year fee reduction standard set by Lin Yun, but now she kind of understands.
If it wasn't like this, how could so many students pay the fees for three years at once?
Three thousand yuan a year, six thousand yuan for three years, that's twice the difference.
And she also understands the many advantages of this reduction standard.
For example, some people want to learn martial arts, but it's just a passing interest. It's very likely that they'll pay the fees for three years, but only come for three months, or even just one month, and then stop coming. This saves a lot of resources.
There are many such people.
There are also people who learn martial arts. In the first year of teaching, a lot of energy is spent. In the second year, a lot of what should be taught has already been taught, so much less energy is spent. Similarly, in the third year, even less energy is spent... Therefore, from a resource perspective, this diminishing standard is very reasonable.
However, it will make people pay three years' worth of money in advance.
At this moment, Li Xing'er admired Lin Yun to the extreme.
In her opinion, Lin Yun was not only terrifyingly powerful, but also so powerful that he could make up any fee he wanted and no official director would dare to mess with him.
Yan Dashan was also very emotional.
He had never expected that Lin Yun would be able to make such a big difference to Dashan Martial Arts Club in such a short time after he arrived.
When he thought about what Li Xing'er had told him about what happened at Yinghao Martial Arts Club earlier, he realised that Lin Yun's current abilities were probably extraordinary.
When he thought about the fact that a little boy he had recruited back then had grown to such a level and was also of such great help to him today, how could he not be gratified?
'Lin Yun, come over here, I have something to tell you!' With these thoughts, Yan Dashan looked at Lin Yun and seemed to make a decision, saying:
'Yes, Master!' Seeing Yan Dashan like this, Lin Yun's heart stirred and he nodded slightly.
Soon, the two walked to the back, to the room where Yan Dashan lived.
'I have told you many times, I did not take you as a disciple, you don't need to call me master!' Yan Dashan turned around and looked at Lin Yun before saying this.
'In my opinion, the master introduced me to the door and taught me a lot of things, that is the master!' Lin Yun laughed.
'Your martial arts talent far exceeds my expectations, it is a pity to worship me as a master!' Yan Dashan shook his head.
'I plan to introduce you to a master, are you willing to worship a master? With your martial arts talent, if you go there to learn martial arts, you will definitely achieve even greater success!' After a pause, Yan Dashan looked at Lin Yun and asked.
'Are you going to introduce me to a master?' Lin Yun frowned.
'Some time ago, I wasn't sick, but I was injured by someone. That person was the disciple of my junior brother. You should remember that I once told you that there are some martial arts schools in the world, and my school is one of them. The name of our school is the Seven Injuries School,' Yan Dashan nodded and said.
'Back then, when my master passed away, he left behind some resources in the martial arts school. My master had two disciples, one of whom was me and the other my junior. At that time, we were both at the late stage of Ming Jin, but my martial arts talent was not as good as his. He was only about 30 years old, but I had already reached 39. I had no intention of competing with him, but he...' Yan Dashan's mood was very complex as he spoke.
'In the end, I took the initiative to leave the martial arts school and have been living here ever since, opening a martial arts school.'
'Some time ago, a disciple of my junior brother came looking for me. He said that one of my uncles had always felt a bit guilty about my leaving back then. Recently, my uncle broke through to a higher realm and, after learning about my news, told the disciple of my junior brother to come and let me have time to go back and see him.'
Then, Yan Dashan continued,
'I was raised by my master since I was young, and that senior disciple had a very good relationship with my master and knew me very well. Back then, he wanted to give me some of the resources left behind by my master, but the other elders of the sect had disputes about it because my junior fellow disciple was more talented than me. Perhaps because of this, I took the initiative to leave, and he felt somewhat guilty...' Yan Dashan looked at Lin Yun and smiled.
'If I recommend you to become his disciple, and with your talent, he will most likely not refuse. How about you go to my sect and also give my regards to him?' Yan Dashan paused and said with a smile.
The last sentence seemed to be added by Yan Dashan deliberately, as if he was afraid that Lin Yun did not want to find another master.
In his opinion, Lin Yun had a strong martial arts talent, and it would be a pity if he did not have a master to guide him.
'This is a letter I wrote. If you give it to him, he will understand. My master's name is Zhu Haoran, and the address of our school is...' Then, Yan Dashan took a letter from under the bed and put it in Lin Yun's hands, saying.
