Chapter 2 Entrepreneurship is not halfway there
This is close to the suburbs of Los Angeles, and room and board are very cheap.
Wang Shentong came back with a bowl full of rice.
"Don't be so frustrated, you're strong now. ”
He was comforting Kyung-lin. Obviously, the gathering of the nucleus failed again this time.
"Those few dart masters in the Gathering Core Realm in the family were not your opponents two years ago," Wang Shentong took a bowl of rice and handed it to Yi Lin, "When this limelight is over, I will go back and call our father and arrange an errand for you." ”
He laughed dryly.
Wang Shentong was very dissatisfied with the effect of his comfort, so he added: "Look at me, I can't pick my shoulders and can't lift my hands, don't I still live well? Relax, there are many ordinary people in this world, it's good to fight well, and make meritorious contributions," he poured a glass of water for Yilin, "I really don't have that fate, so I live happily!" Do business with my brother," Wang Shentong touched Yilin's head, "Is it okay Xiao Yilin?"
Ji Lin took the water and took a sip: "Didn't you say that there was any good news to tell me?"
"Uh-huh!" Wang Shentong took out an object from his pocket and put it on the table, it was the same thing he was playing with outside the door when Fang Cai was about to gather the core.
"What is this?"
"I stumbled upon it," Wang Shentong was interested, "I didn't get up early today, so I went to the forest next to me and saw a tree." At first, I noticed the tree because it was large, but then I noticed that there were a lot of white lines on the tree, and when I looked closer, it turned out to be caused by the solidification of the resin that had been cut with a knife before.
"I looked around at other trees of the same species, and there were a lot of them. I tried to touch the white resin. Saying that, Wang Shentong pushed the resin in front of Yan Lin and motioned for him to touch it as well. He didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, but he did it anyway.
"What do you feel?" Wang Shentong asked impatiently.
"It's bouncing. "Yi Lin remembered the metaphor that the storyteller had said before, 'like a girl's skin', but he had never touched the girl, he had only touched the uncle during the competition, and if it was similar to the uncle's skin, the girl's skin should feel similar to this resin.
"It's not just elastic, it's tough. ”
Wang Shentong motioned for Ji Lin to pull again.
"Definitely. He tried to pull it, and it was true that it would be easy to break such a piece of resin with his strength, but it would be difficult for an ordinary person to do it without the help of tools.
"I was very curious, so I made a small cut with a knife and took it to ask the nearby villagers. They told me that this kind of tree is called spring tree, and it has a wide range of uses, its trunk can be used to build bridges and houses, and the leaves can be used to make spices, like the resin you hold in your hand, the villagers usually collect it, and when they want to use it, put it in an iron bucket and take it to the fire to roast, it can be used to glue and sew together, and the wooden basin they use for bathing will use this to fill the gaps on it, and apply a layer on the surface of the wooden basin, and the wooden basin will be smoother.
"When the villagers said this, I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, my father did business with the Yue country, and at that time he was exporting this kind of resin, because the Yue country is not suitable for spring trees to grow, so we bought a lot of resin.
"But they didn't want the resin for bonding. I remember that at that time, I was working with my father with a mold manufacturer over there, which valued this resin with good feel and high toughness, but I didn't know what kind of mold it was used for. ”
Ji Lin also remembered that there was such a thing, that time there was a convoy in Yueguo, and there was a dart master with the team, who was actually a strong man in the sea realm, looking at the city, the strong people in the sea realm were rare, the old city lord was so old, and it was only a few years ago that he broke through the third phase of the sea and entered the reshaping realm, but the dart master was still so young, and Ji Lin was deeply impressed.
Wang Shentong said so much, Ji Lin probably guessed his intentions: "You also want to make molds?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Do you now know what mold Yue Guo made with this resin?"
"Of course I don't know," Wang Shentong refilled a cup of tea for Yilin, "and even if I knew, I wouldn't have that much capital and manpower to produce." ”
Ji Lin was puzzled: "Then what are you going to do?"
"Although I can't make a lot of money in this business, it is completely feasible to solve our food and clothing problems in a short period of time," he leaned his head together, "Do you remember Zhu Xiaorong?"
"The one who sings?"
"Uh-huh!"
Younglin nodded. Of course, he remembered that a few years ago, his father-in-law and several other wealthy businessmen in Dengcheng invited a few people to come over to perform in order to open a chamber of commerce, including Zhu Xiaorong, he and Wang Shentong were only ten years old at that time, and they only felt that they were fairy-like characters. The response to that commercial performance was very good, especially when Zhu Xiaorong appeared, the men couldn't sit still.
After the commercial performance, Zhu Xiaorong chatted with his father-in-law backstage, and only then did he know that this woman who had just turned eighteen was the hottest character in Chu today, and the reason why she took over this commercial performance was not because of lack of money, but because her stepmother had a good personal relationship with her, she was usually called a sister.
Ji Lin still remembers that when he broke into the backstage and was held down by his stepfather, he enthusiastically introduced, "Ji Lin, this is your Aunt Xiaorong, call Auntie quickly", Zhu Xiaorong's face was black and black.
"You're going to model her?"
"Uh-huh!" Wang Shentong took a sip of tea with his orchid finger, "This aunt is quite well-known all over the country, and I will imitate her handwriting to make a signature, and I will not worry about sales when the time comes." As if he was afraid that he would not be able to believe himself, Wang Shentong patted his chest, "Don't worry, this is absolutely exactly the same! I have learned a lot over the years." ”
He believed him. Wang Shentong has been smart since he was a child, and when he was four years old, his father sent him to a private school, and Wang Shentong completed the five-year course in three months. One day when it was time to go to class, his father bumped into him playing outside, so he asked him why he didn't go to study, Wang Shentong said I finished studying, his father didn't believe it, asked him to memorize the ancient scriptures, Wang Shentong opened his mouth to come, and after a while he was stopped by his father, saying that you memorized for a long time I didn't understand a word, Wang Shentong said that because he was reciting it backwards, his father then found an ancient scripture and asked Wang Shentong to recite it again, and it was exactly word for word. From that day on, Wang Shentong arranged everything he wanted to learn, and his father was not afraid, he was so professional, even if this child didn't learn and didn't know how to learn, with his ingenuity, when it was time to inherit the family business, it should not be a big problem to spend another three months studying.
After the two discussed, they ate hastily.
Wang Shentong found two iron buckets and brought him to the Spring Forest.
"Collect two barrels to make a batch and see how the market reacts. ”
Most of the resin from this spring forest has been newly collected, and it took two people an afternoon to collect two barrels.
When I returned to the inn, it was already thin.
Wang Shentong borrowed a stove and a piece of iron of a suitable size from the shopkeeper.
"People are afraid that we will spoil the pot, so they will use it. ”
He rolled up the iron sheet around it and made it into a simple container. After a while, Xiao Er sent a bag of dirt, which Wang Shentong briefly checked and gave him some money to send him away.
Wang Shentong took out a beautifully styled box from the package, which contained some of his gadgets. After emptying the box, the mud was filled in, and a human figure was roughly taken out, leaving a small opening for the resin to be injected.
The collected resin has long since congealed into lumps. He dug out a piece with a knife and roasted it on the fire, and after a while the resin turned into a liquid. Wang Shentong poured the resin into the box, waited for a while to open the box, and the resin solidified again inside could already be seen in human form.
"Then it's time for me to perform. ”
But Wang Shentong's performance was not smooth, the first few carvings ended in failure, and finally there was a good one, and there was no charm like Zhu Xiaorong, Wang Shentong's excuse also developed from "the knife is not easy to use" and "the hand is a little raw" to "what the hell is so hot".
Finally, when the first barrel of resin was about to run out, Wang Shentong finally came up with a good finished product.
A palm-sized model of Zhu Xiaorong was placed on the table, and the two of them watched with amazement.
"Won't it be too revealing?"
"I forgot to carve clothes. ”
So the two began to make clothes in a hurry. It's been a long time since I last watched a play, and the details of the costumes are not very recalled, but fortunately, Wang Shentong has a good sense of beauty, and the clothes made are quite good.
After finishing one, Wang Shentong set his sights on other defective products.
"Actually, you can still see these with face makeup, and sell them cheaper?"
"Don't forget to carve your clothes. ”
"Got it. ”
It was late at night when the two were busy.
This kind of manual work is not strenuous, but the long-term bowing of the waist still makes Wang Shentong tired and has a sore back. He was like a nobody, and he had to do a few sets of daily training before going to bed.
Wang Shentong collapsed on the bed, looking at the lively Linglin and sighed with emotion: "So it's still good to practice martial arts all the time, look at you, you can go out and move bricks overnight, I can't," he scratched his head that had almost cut his hair, "I can only be the boss." ”
The two slept until noon. Because they didn't renew the room fee, Xiao Er came to knock on their door, and they slowly came to their senses.
"I'll put my things here first, and come back in the evening to settle today's room fee, if we haven't come back at dinner time, you can dispose of your luggage at will. "Wang Shentong is negotiating with Xiao Er. After Xiao Er left, Wang Shentong immediately whispered to Ji Lin in a sympathetic manner: "If it is not sold, you sneak in and carry the things away before dinner." ”
"No problem. ”
Today is the day of the market in Los Angeles, so even on the border of Los Angeles, there are still many people on the street.
Wang Shentong felt that his luck was okay and he was very motivated, so he urged Jiolin to set up the stall, and he used graphite to write the price on the wooden sign.
A few passing uncles stopped to look at it for a while, and then they were dragged away by their wives.
