In the next three days, Tang Dou asked Manda to take people to make baskets, and at the same time went to Poland Street to summon more than 200 people, and now he has 600 people in his hands. He summoned so many people in one go, of course, it attracted the attention of the major forces in the city. But he didn't open a sect in the city, and he didn't open a shop and do business, but he just made trouble outside the city, and the major forces couldn't figure it out. And that piece of bamboo forest is theoretically the territory of the quicksand gate, and the quicksand gate has no movement at all at this time, and the other forces are naturally not easy to speak.

But soon, Tang Dou was a platinum-level powerhouse, and at the same time, the news that he was friends with Ren Tianzhen spread out, and suddenly the meaning of Tang Dou's action was completely different, and all forces regarded Tang Dou's action as a new move of the quicksand gate, and there were hundreds of spies at any time on the edge of the entire humble workshop. However, these spies didn't dare to get close, because as long as they got close to a hundred meters, they would be shot directly by Tang Dou - this thing had nothing to do all day long, either talking about love with the girls, or playing tricks on Lin Xiao, and the rest of the time was practicing archery.

Or maybe it's archery!

Anyway, in the eyes of others, this guy is just shooting with one arrow at a time, and there is nothing brilliant at all, and the complete mechanical repetition is boring to watch. But after this was passed back by various spies, all forces suddenly raised their vigilance against Tang Dou again.

A platinum-level powerhouse is still cultivating the most basic foundation repeatedly, and what this means, only a true master can understand.

Fancy martial arts are often like beauty, food, with a fatal attraction, once stained, and then want to sink down little by little to hone the foundation is very difficult, all the masters understand the importance of the foundation, but there are not many people who can really endure the temperament to polish their foundation little by little - that kind of boring, lonely, boring feeling and the fancy and refreshing of high-level martial arts form a strong contrast, how many people in this world can stick to it?

After hearing the report of his spies, the owner of the largest gang in the human-controlled area went to see it for a day, and when he came back, he only confessed: "Don't be an enemy of it until you have to do it yourself!" "Many of his subordinates don't quite understand this, only some people who really understand understand that a master is not terrible, but a master like this is terrible.

Tang Dou can endure loneliness and boredom to hone his foundation, then he can also endure loneliness and boredom to do something that masters disdain to do, once such a person can't die with one blow, then there will be endless troubles, and if he kills a platinum powerhouse with one blow, at least the major gangs in the human control area don't have such a certainty.

Later, after Tang Dou killed a few spies who were too close, there were fewer and fewer spies near the workshop, and in the end, they only kept a few weights, all of them watched from a distance, not daring to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

On the third day, Ming Nan visited again, and this time his expression was not as confused as the first time. Because he did what Tang Dou said, he not only carefully investigated what aspects of life Tang Dou said, but also took the basket that was as beautiful as a work of art and went to the people of the elf clan.

"I've seen my lord!" Ming Nan made a big salute to Tang Dou.

"Mr. Ming Nan is polite. Today is the day of shipment, but the time is too tight and the manpower is insufficient. In addition, the workshop site had to be built, so there was only a small part of the finished product. Just throw a stone and ask for directions! Tang Dou pointed to the more than 2,000 bamboo baskets.

The technique of the bamboo basket is not complicated, a skilled worker can make at least five or six a day, this is still a delicate version, if it is rough, more than twenty is no problem. However, as Tang Dou said, most of the people he summoned in the past three days have been making houses and digging bamboo shoots. At the same time, it is also to learn and adapt to bamboo craftsmanship, so more than 2,000 bamboo baskets seem to be a lot, but in fact, there are very few on the market.

Of course, this kind of thing has just appeared on the market, and only the market can speak, no matter how hard Tang Dou blows, if it can't be sold, it will be oolong to the extreme.

Ming Nan nodded, and asked his subordinates to start loading the bamboo basket, and then said, "My lord, about that bamboo basket......"

"Oh? What do those long ears say? Tang Dou asked.

They liked it very much, but ......" Ming Nan didn't know how to speak.

"Ha, I can guess what those long ears say. They like to like it, but they still look arrogant, and they say a lot of ugly things! Tang Dou laughed and said, "It's hard work, Mr. Ming!" ”

Ming Nan smiled bitterly: "The elves are notoriously picky in this regard, they did say a lot of ugly things, but they paid a lot of money to buy that basket, really, really ......"

"It's cheap, isn't it?" Tang Dou said with a smile.

Ming Nan smiled dumbly: "What the adults said is very true, it is cheap!" ”

Tang Dou had a pure-blooded elf clan's fiancée, which was difficult to know, so he really didn't expect Tang Dou to be so unkind to the elf clan, Rao couldn't help but laugh at this time with his shrewdness and seriousness, but soon he calmed down again: "My lord, the elf clan doesn't buy it now, what should we do?" ”

"Hey, that's easy. I'll show you a way! Tang Dou muttered a few words in Ming Nan's ear, and then asked someone to bring Ming Nan an extremely exquisite bottle. This is a jade crown bottle, which is also made of bamboo. I've got a bunch of these things ready, and we're still going to have a tea tasting party in three days' time, and we're going to invite those with long ears to come! ”

"I'm afraid the people of the elf clan will not be willing to participate in our human tea party!" There are some difficult ways to understand.

"Haha, Mr. Mingnan, what do you think I gave you this jade crown bottle for?" Tang Dou laughed and patted Ming Nan's shoulder: "What is the best thing in this world?" That's what you can't get from someone else's house! ”

Ming Nan first showed a confused expression, and looked at the jade crown bottle in a daze, but soon he understood, revealing a burst of enlightenment, and suddenly had a kind of worship of Tang Dou in his heart: "Adults are smart, adults are smart!" ”

"Haha, general, average!" Tang Dou laughed proudly: "This matter will be handed over to Mr. Ming Nan!" ”

"Don't worry, sir. The little one understands! Ming Nan held the jade crown bottle and asked someone to drag two thousand bamboo baskets and left. In fact, the focus of Ming Yan has not been on these bamboo baskets, although he has done a lot of research, but after all, there is no real market foundation, let alone any systematic market research, it is impossible for him to see business opportunities at a glance like Tang Dou. So his real focus has always been on trading with the elves.

When he returned to the city, he ordered his men to bring the bamboo baskets to the prepared shop, and then went to figure out how to "seduc" the elves. In the evening, the man in charge of selling the bamboo baskets returned.

"What's wrong? Something didn't sell? That doesn't matter, that's not the point in the first place! Seeing the embarrassed face of his subordinate, he knew that there was no good result, but he also had an attitude of indifference, so he thought about it very much.

"Lord Mingnan, no, it's not that it can't be sold. It's sold out. Those businessmen still want to ask us to order, but the little one doesn't know the specific situation of Lord Nicholas, so he doesn't dare to take it! The subordinate swallowed.

Ming Nan was stunned, opened his mouth three times, and didn't know what to say, and it took a long time to turn around in his mind: "What did you say?" ”

He thought he had misheard.

The subordinate didn't understand the meaning of Ming Nan, and cautiously repeated: "Hui Ming Nan Lord." Today, no one asked about Lord Nicholas's things when they first put them out, but then a few merchants came and asked about the situation, and bought hundreds of them back, and in the evening, dozens of merchants came and bought all the remaining bamboo baskets, and they felt that it was not enough, so they placed another 10,000 orders, but the small ones didn't know the situation of Lord Nicholas, and they didn't take it for the time being! ”

Ming Nan wiped his face, and finally came back to his senses: "Prepare immediately, I'm going to see Lord Nicholas...... No, wait, Master Nicholas won't talk about it for now, you tomorrow, no, no, you go to those merchants now, and tell them that we have the order! ”

"But there is Nicholas!" That subordinate was a little worried, he was Ming Nan's henchman, and he had been following Ming Nan to Tang Dou's side, knowing that Tang Dou didn't have many people, and he could really get it out in 10,000 three days?

"Master Nicholas, I'm going to say, you go and get the order first! Oh yes! Ming Nan turned out a bill of goods handed over to him by Tang Dou and handed it over: "Here are some lists of Lord Nicholas, the style, size, and use of various products have detailed records, you show them to those merchants!" ”

The subordinate took the list, looked at it, and found that the handwriting on it was wonderful, and the same thing was as clear and clear as the real thing in front of him: "The little one knows, the little one goes!" ”

Waiting for his subordinates to leave, Ming Nan turned around in place twice, and then ran to find Ren Tianzhen.

"What do you say? Is there really a merchant who buys those things? Ren Tianzhen actually didn't care about Tang Dou's deal, he was still planning how to develop real estate, that was the big deal that he, the owner of the door, needed to care about. He didn't even care about the business with the elves, and left it to Ming Nan to deal with, and now he was a little strange to hear Ming Nan say this.

"Master, we've all underestimated Nicholas's gadgets. Although I have done research before, I also think that those businessmen may not accept it, but now it seems that the situation is different! "Obviously.

"What's the difference? You name it, come and hear it! "Ren Tianzhen is not a business material, and he has no talent in this area.

"Door master, the real focus of Nicholas's things is not those bamboo baskets that can buy two copper coins, nor those exquisite crafts that can make the elves blush. The real focus is on the direction of the winds caused by the hollow trees he calls bamboo! There was a glint of excitement in Ming Nan's eyes: "Master of the door, think about it, how many people are begging for a living in Kinunu City?" And once this bamboo material can replace all the cork, rattan, animal skin and bone materials, then how much will it be? ”

"And more importantly, what I just said, the direction of the trend! I've seen the list of products that Nicholas gave me, and this kind of bamboo can make almost everything in every aspect of life. Whether it is a house, a bed frame, a table or chair, or even some utensils for practice, and even some boats used in offshore places, they can be made of this material. It's a new fad, a trend. Once it became popular, everyone was quick to accept the material. ”

"Have you ever wondered how much of a deal this will be? And within three thousand miles of Kinunu City, only the area controlled by our quicksand gate has that bamboo forest. What does this mean? This means that we will accumulate a lot of wealth in a very short period of time! ”

Ming Nan seemed to have seen the scene where he was buried by a large number of gold coins, and he couldn't control his excitement.

Ren Tianzhen's eyes were also shining, and his body was trembling, but he was the master of a sect in the end, his foresight was more clever than Ming's difficulty, and his self-control was stronger, he quickly calmed down, his eyes became solemn, and he said solemnly: "No, we can't keep doing this deal." Once the time comes to really become what you call the trend, we will give up that territory! ”

"Huh? Door master, why is this? Ming Nan was taken aback and puzzled.

"I wouldn't have thought that way before, but after talking to Nicholas, I understand. Until we have the strength to crush all the other forces, any food alone will not last long. We can't eat a fat man in one bite, but we have to take advantage little by little. Sharing, taking the lead, that's what Nicholas taught me. As long as we seize the opportunity again and again, we can continue to accumulate our advantages, and one day, we will stand at the peak of this Kinunu City, and even the entire Fog Hidden Continent! ”

This is Ren Tian's innocent ambition, the lord of a gate is not his apex, the lord of a city, the lord of the continent is his real ambition.

Ming Nan is worthy of being Ren Tianzhen's absolute confidant, and quickly understood what Ren Tianzhen meant: "I'll go to Nicholas to talk about it." I think he must have been fully prepared in his heart. ”

"Well, you go!" Ren Tianzhen nodded, paused and said, "Ming Nan, do you think that this person Nicholas can be used by me?" ”

Ming Nan shook his head: "Door master, Nicholas is very dangerous. It's a good thing that we have an alliance with him, but it's unlikely to want to control him. His subordinates couldn't see what he was asking for, and everything he did was just casual, with no real clear purpose at all. Such a person cannot be controlled, nor can he be directly bought and co-opted! However, the subordinates think that we can control him in a softened way! ”

"Oh? Tell me about it! "Ren Tianzhen has a lot of trust in Ming Nan. Over the years, the various actions of Quicksand Gate have been the result of Ren Tianzhen and Ming Yan's discussion.

"Nicholas has a lot to do with the people at the Woodwind Inn. As long as we win over the people of the Woodwind Inn, we can make Nicholas use us. "Obviously.

"You mean, you know it?"

"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
