Chapter 6 The dilemma of the city, the dignity of the father
Fang City, is not the exclusive property of the Xiao family, to be precise, Fang City is a general term, whether it is the Xiao family, or the other two major families in Utan City, or some small families, all the shops and businesses gather in the area, it is called Fang City.
There are large and small markets, and the Xiao family, as one of the three major families, has several large markets under the control of their subordinates.
However, there are also the other two families who also control the Fang Market, and naturally, the competition between the shops in the Fang Market is indispensable.
The Xiao family's shops in Fang City are no different from those of the Galie family and the Oba family, all of them are through the sale of some sun-dried herbs, armor, weapons and other things, and occasionally some low-level Demon Beast ink cores, because Utan City is close to the edge of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, there are many mercenaries used to communicate and exchange, so this kind of goods are quite popular.
In the Xiao family, in addition to Xiao Zhan and the three elders, the four great fighters, there are also many fighters, usually they lead some clansmen with the strength of fighters to form a hunting team, go to the nearby Demon Beast Mountain Range to collect herbs, hunt low-level demonic beasts...... In addition to the magic core of Warcraft, which can be sold for a large price, the leather of Warcraft can also be used to make leather armor and other things.
But I can't stand it, that's what all families do.
Especially the Galie family and the Oba family, they are rooted in Utan City, compared to the Xiao family, I don't know how many years longer, and they are more familiar with the nearby Warcraft Mountain Range than the Xiao family.
Naturally, the things sold by the Xiao family's shops are not competitive compared to the other two families, and even the other two families can sell more and more complete things than the Xiao family.
Just like the medicinal powder that Xiao Zhan used before, it was bought from the shop of the Galie family.
To a certain extent, Xiao Zhan, the patriarch, can be regarded as a qualified enemy, this habit is very bad, and he has to change it in the future.
Xiao Zhan secretly kept this in mind.
At the same time, he finally understood why the three elders sighed.
Earlier, when he came here, the idea of picking wool from the three elders could only be stopped, Xiao Zhan still honestly returned to the back idea, how to help the Xiao family make more money, as long as the Xiao family made money, as the patriarch, he would have nothing to say about filling his own pockets.
Now, the Xiao family is already short of resources, and if he still fills his pockets, it is indeed a little unreasonable.
"I already know about the Fang City, I'll see if I can think of a way for the Third Elder." Xiao Zhan looked at the Third Elder and said.
The Third Elder nodded and sighed, "I'm tired of the Patriarch!" ”
He didn't think that Xiao Zhan had any good way, unless Xiao Zhan personally took action and went to the Warcraft Mountain Range to hunt high-level Warcraft, but once the high-level Warcraft was strong, Xiao Zhan personally went to hunt it, no one could say if there would be any accidents, if he had an accident, with the temperament of the Galie family and the Oba family, he would definitely rush up and eat the entire Xiao family clean.
Second, even if Xiao Zhan can hunt high-level demonic beasts, once or twice, he may be able to overwhelm the momentum of the other two, but this kind of thing is not a long-term business after all.
Therefore, in the final analysis, for the sake of the stability of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan, the patriarch, should still stay in the clan honestly.
Xiao Zhan left the Third Elder's office.
As for the meaning contained in the third elder's sigh, he naturally understood that he was not optimistic that he would be able to come up with a way.
But in fact, in the conversation with the third elder, he already had a case in his heart.
The Xiao family's shops can't compete with the other two families in the market, one is that the three products are extremely repetitive, and the other is that the main problem is that the Xiao family does not have their own special goods.
Things such as herbs, armor, weapons, etc., can be bought by the other two families, and there are more types of people, so what does the Xiao family use to compete with others?
Only by creating their own exclusive special products and cultivating a specific group of buyers, can they achieve overtaking in this business competition and surpass the other two families in one fell swoop.
And this kind of special goods, in just a moment before, Xiao Zhan actually came up with a lot.
For example, special products for women and special products for children.
In the previous life, the two Ma Sect Masters personally verified that the money of women and children is the best to earn.
It's a pity that Xiao Zhan has a case in his heart, but he can't talk to the third elder as soon as possible.
Why?
Naturally, he is not the only one who travels through this world.
Xiao Zhan's cheap son, Xiao Yan is also a traverser.
Although in the original work, the identity of Xiao Yan's traverser is only mentioned in a few words at the beginning of the story, and it is not shown at all later, Xiao Yan's behavior is not at all like a two-life traverser with a psychological age of dozens of years, but more like an indigenous second-year teenager who is about the same age as the outside.
But even so, he didn't want to leave the slightest flaw and let his cheap son see through the truth.
"It seems to have been two days since I last saw my cheap sons!"
"As an old father, especially after the death of their mother, they should be given more care, so that they can't lose their mother's love and become orphans without their father's love."
Xiao Zhan decided to take the school exam to cheapen his sons.
As an old father, it is necessary to care about the growth of his son.
So he quickly ordered the maid to go and call his three cheap sons.
That's right, as the patriarch of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan still has a maid by his side, but because the maid is average-looking, neither beautiful nor ugly, so she is destined to be a tool man with no name or surname.
Xiao Zhan.
When Xiao Ding came here with his two younger brothers, he saw his father sitting on a chair, holding a cup of tea that was still smoking in his hand, and gently sipping the tea.
"Father!"
"Father!"
"Father!"
The three children all respectfully honored Xiao Zhan, unlike their deceased mother, Xiao Zhan's father left an old-fashioned and serious impression on them in the past, so the three children were inevitably a little restrained when they were in Xiao Zhan's place.
"Ding'er, Li'er and Yan'er, don't be nervous, my father called you here today, there is nothing else, and it is not to reprimand you, in fact, my father has thought about it for the past two days, and my father was indeed too harsh on you in the past...... It may have made you a little uncomfortable because it didn't take into account your feelings, and I apologize to you for my Father. ”
"Father, father, don't say that." Xiao Ding never thought that his father would suddenly say such a thing, as the eldest brother among the three, he was also the oldest and the most mature one, and immediately stepped forward to say that his father didn't have to be like this.
"I know that my father is strict with us, but in fact, it is all for our good, how can I be angry with my father!"
Xiao Li and Xiao Yan also reacted, and hurriedly said that their fathers were harsh to them in the past, and it was all love for them, where would they be dissatisfied.
Well, it is mainly Xiao Li and Xiao Ding who are saying that in order to maintain their external image, Xiao Yan still follows the two brothers to learn from each other.
Seeing his three sons like this, Xiao Zhan remained silent on his face, but he secretly said to himself in his heart: "It seems that these three cheap sons are smart." ”
If they really took Xiao Zhan's apology for granted, maybe he wouldn't say anything on the surface, but he would definitely give them more small shoes in the future.
After all, the dignity of fatherhood is at stake.
After some greetings, Xiao Zhan finally asked the three children the key question, "I don't know what you think of Fang City?" ”
