Chapter 122: Aladdin and the Magic Lamp
"Master, it's not good, it's not good......"
Aladdin came to the door of the foundry in a panic, and with the permission of Qin Bing, he immediately stumbled in, and opened his mouth several times to speak, but all that came out of his throat was a meaningless mute sound. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Qin Bing pressed Aladdin's shoulder, poured a spiritual power into his body, and then took a glass of water from the side and motioned for Aladdin to drink it.
After a few mouthfuls of water, Aladdin finally calmed down, and then said eagerly: "Master, someone is looking for trouble with our casino." ”
Who, who is so bold? Teacher Cang roared angrily, do you know that the last person who was looking for trouble is now hanging on the pole at the door.
Qin Bing didn't panic, but asked, "What's the matter, you tell me in detail." ”
His casino has just wiped out the scorpion thieves, and the surrounding sand thieves are all terrified, and it is impossible for them to make a comeback so quickly. The sand pirates farther away couldn't have gotten the news so quickly, let alone come so quickly. Could it be Zoroastrianism, or maybe the slave trader behind the glamorous woman?
It can't be them, and if they want to do it, why wait until now?
"Master, there is a big merchant who wants to open a new casino here with us, and they have chosen all the places, deliberately avoiding the Zoroastrian and slave market casinos, and instead choosing not far from our Daqin casino, obviously to steal business with us."
It turned out that it was not a door-to-door knock, but a business grab. Listening to Aladdin's slow narration, Qin Bing finally sorted out what happened.
The last time the sand bandits attacked, they killed more than 2,000 oasis residents, especially the wealthy people in the oasis, and all but a few who were sheltered by Zoroastrianism and the slave market were wiped out. As a result, a large power vacuum has been created in the oasis, and many industries have lost their operators.
Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and the like don't need to be mentioned, take the casino as an example, there were more than ten casinos in the oasis before, but after this incident, only the casinos under the names of Qin Bing, the bald man and the glamorous woman were left, with such a big market vacancy, how could no one be blushing.
Qin Bing shook his head indifferently, "We have playing cards and mahjong, how can those casinos that can only play dice compete with us, opening opposite us, purely looking for death." ”
Qin Bing didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he said this, Aladdin's face became even more ugly, and he only heard him curse angrily: "Those damn guys, they actually stole our mahjong and playing cards, hateful!" ”
Plagiarized it?
Qin Bing was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. There is nothing difficult to make mahjong, even if people can't cast, but they can always be carved with things like jade, bamboo, ivory, etc., right? Not to mention playing cards, it is true that Sandbank does not produce paper, but they can buy it from outside, and the most important thing that Sandbank lacks is camel teams and merchants.
Mahjong and playing cards are not very technical, and they can basically be imitated at a glance. In a chaotic area like Sandbar, where you don't have to pay for your life, what can you do if you steal something? Even if Qin Bing was annoyed, he didn't have anything to do with the other party.
With mahjong and playing cards being able to be played in such a short period of time, that casino must have a lot of energy.
If the other party just plagiarized poker and mahjong, Qin Bing wouldn't say anything, because even if they didn't plagiarize, sooner or later, someone else would plagiarize, and this thing couldn't stop it.
But after the other party plagiarized, he still opened a casino near Daqin Casino, which was unbearable. If it weren't for the fact that Qin Bing had exchanged a large amount of land from bald men and glamorous women, and bought all the nearby more than 3,000 steps, I am afraid that he would have directly opened the casino to the opposite door of the Great Qin Casino.
Qin Bing knew that that casino would definitely have a strong impact on his business, because he had what the other party had, and the other party had it, but he didn't. For example, the skin and meat business.
Wine and wealth have never been separated, and casinos and leather and meat businesses have always been closely linked. It's just that Mr. Cang issued a ban to Qin Bing, he can't run that kind of business in his own casino, and he doesn't allow that kind of person to solicit customers in his own casino.
This is a ban and is non-negotiable. This kind of regulation naturally has an impact on the business of Daqin Casino, if a new casino with wine is opened not far away at this time, how many gamblers will be scored?
"Find out where they came from, and then restrain our people and don't go there and make trouble. On the day they open, I'll give a big gift to the past! ”
Aladdin saw that Qin Bing was confident, and his mood slowly calmed down, and then, his gaze involuntarily fell on the jar in front of Qin Bing.
"Master, did you make this jar? Why didn't you open your mouth? Master, your craftsmanship is really clever, but the base of the jar should be flattened, otherwise it will not be stable, it is best to pinch out two ear handles to facilitate carrying......"
It would be unwise to accuse his master of his mistakes to his face, and Aladdin would not make such a low-level mistake, but he said it anyway. When he talks about jar making, there is an almost fanatical glint in his eyes.
"Master, I'm so sorry, I'm so excited. It's been a long, long time since I've seen such a beautiful jar. Do you know, master, I used to make jars when I was in my hometown. ”
Aladdin seems to have found a close friend and talks about his past. It turned out that several generations of his family had been making clay pots, clay pots, vases and other items. It's just that these things are not very profitable, and they are easy to break, there is basically no camel team procurement, the market is narrow, and the sales are not smooth.
In Aladdin's generation, he often couldn't sell a few goods a month, and Aladdin, who was unwilling to be poor, sold his property, found a few young people from relatives who were willing to go out, and then became a camel merchant.
"Actually, I now regret that the craftsmanship of six generations of our family has been broken by me."
Seeing Aladdin crying, Qin Bing sighed in his heart. There are really too many choices on the road of life, and sometimes, a hot head may determine the path of the second half of your life. Even if it's not a hot head, there are too many stumbling blocks and ups and downs in life, and stumbling will go to a road that runs counter to the original intention.
Qin Bing patted Aladdin's shoulder, "Now, you can still realize your dreams." ”
When Aladdin heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground in fear, "Master, I don't want to leave you, I really want to serve you, don't drive me away." ”
Qin Bing shook his head with a smile, then took out the earthen pot puppet and put it in Aladdin's hand.
"Open your heart to the puppet and make it your faith."
Seeing the earthen pot puppet, Aladdin's eyes lit up, because his four relatives had gained power through this kind of statue and became strong.
Qin Bing took out the heart of the pocket jar again, "And this, you can also feel it." ”
After a while, Aladdin opened his eyes in surprise, held the earthen pot puppet in both hands and returned it to Qin Bing, and then knelt on the ground respectfully and kissed Qin Bing's boots.
"Aladdin, the production of the pocket jar will be handed over to you in the future, and you can also recruit some people."
"Master, don't worry, I will definitely sell the pocket jar to every corner of the sandbank."
Teacher Cang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said coldly: "Our pocket jar industry has to have a signboard, let's call it the 'magic lamp' brand, Aladdin and the magic lamp, it's really perfect." ”
