Chapter 327: Industry Prosperity Ten
The basic conditions of Tro Collar Beak Town are quite good, and it is only necessary to temporarily circle an area in the department store under the name of Lord Evan and decorate it slightly. However, the crocodile leader Changteng Town is a little troublesome, because it deliberately suppresses luxury consumption, and the overall decoration of the five-story shopping building in the center of the town is quite simple and 'close to the people', which does not conform to the aesthetics of the southern aristocracy.
Therefore, after discussing with Jiao Ming, the chief steward decided to vacate the top floor, immediately start the decoration and installation of a direct elevator, and try his best to improve the 'forced style' and create a shopping store that specializes in 'smashing foreign ladies'. During the conversation, it was also revealed that a new product had just been developed: refrigerators. When Jiao Ming heard this, he was very interested, and asked the chief steward to lead the way and came to a corner where there were no people.
The idle and bored salesman saw that the chief steward was accompanied by a stranger, so he naturally distinguished it well, and took out the housekeeper's mouth skills to introduce it to the sky.
Jiao Ming's left ear went in and out of his right ear, staring at this familiar thing, the smooth white shell and the upper and lower double doors made the sense of déjà vu more and more intense, and at the same time remembered that in the middle of winter two years ago, he and Binglian had experienced the scene of the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner in his memory in the dream space, and Binglian had been 'fiddling' with many household appliances for a long time. In terms of household appliances, the new product research and development ability of the crocodile collar is actually stronger than that of the trolley collar, and ninety percent of it is affected by the ice lotus.
And when Jiao Ming woke up from his distracted memories and saw the slightly embarrassed looks of the salesman and the general manager, he smiled to ease the atmosphere, and then asked about many product details in business, until the sales staff saw the sweat and easily picked up one and left, ready to move to the barony for his own use.
"Since this refrigerator is a new product, why don't many people come to see it?"
"It's going to be winter, who wants to buy this thing and keep it at home. The chief manager explained helplessly, "But the factory has finally made it, and it can't wait until the spring of next year, so it's better to put it here first." I've heard that the Red Mountain Kingdom is a place where the seasons are like summer, and if we can open up a market this time, it will really help a lot. ”
Jiao Ming was stunned again, could it be that Binglian also had this idea, and then scolded secretly and brought the topic back to business. In any case, this side is more familiar than Birdbeak Town after all, so try to explain as much as possible, "The people who come are mainly middle-aged and elderly women from medium-sized magic families in the Red Mountain Kingdom, and you should hurry up and train the salesperson on the language problem, and the basic vocabulary can be aggravated, and the product demonstration part will be emphasized." That's right, and etiquette and speech. The salesperson also has to carry out basic aristocratic etiquette training, and the methods of persuading customers to shop are also exchanged and studied, and I think that guy just now has a lot of experience. ”
After a pause, Jiao Ming, who had no experience in this area, couldn't think of more for a while, so he had to conclude: "This is a big business, and it is also a signboard, if it is done well, there will be more in the future, there are so many large and small states in the territory of the kingdom, and there are even two theocratic states in the farther away." You have to seize the opportunity, think more about it, and don't smash the signboard of the crocodile collar. ”
The chief steward stopped, thinking that it was just a troublesome task, but finally realized that this was a ladder of progress, as if he was anticipating various scenes in the future, fine beads of sweat appeared on the hairline that began to move up, and he glared at his eyes and said excitedly: "The little one understands, please rest assured." ”
Jiao Ming nodded with satisfaction, said goodbye and left. Returning to the barony of the Red Mountain Kingdom, he discussed a few words with the four-ring fire mage who knew a little bit about everything, and determined the working voltage, and then received the power from the newly established power station through the space transmission iron array, and showed it off in front of Ms. Yisi.
"How?" After the general introduction, Jiao Ming was triumphant, "I haven't asked for advice yet, how did you escape the heat and cool down?"
"It's magical. Lady Iss exclaimed, put her arms into it, felt the coolness, and replied, "Of course, it is from the northern space to send ice cubes, or use an alchemy potion, which can also produce ice cubes after melting. However, the most common way to do this is to take a shower and go out at night. ”
Facing Ms. Yisi's somewhat sly smile, Jiao Ming sighed: "The local method is always the most effective and cheapest most of the time! So in your opinion, how is the market for this thing?"
Ms. Yi Si frowned, circled around the refrigerator twice, and said: "The function of making ice cubes is good, but the function of preserving food is very weak, and the nobles are not short of fresh fruits and vegetables, and it would be great if they could cool the room as a whole." But listen to you, if you open the refrigerator door, it will instead consume empty electricity to raise the temperature of the room. ”
"Air conditioning, right!" Jiao Ming suddenly realized, this is indeed a big market. "Don't worry, now that the refrigerant is available, the air conditioner will be there soon. ”
"And this 'refrigerant', if you replace it regularly, how will the money be calculated?" Ms. Yisi, as a half-businessman, instinctively realized the huge trouble that after-sales service can cause.
The so-called refrigerant, the working principle is not complicated, but it is not easy to find the right chemical substance, fortunately, there is a means of water magic enchantment, and it is easy to find alternatives when the general direction is clear, but unfortunately the characteristics of the enchanted substance are easy to be disturbed by other magic and gradually fail, and have to be replaced from time to time.
According to the description of the refrigerator advertising color page, this coolant is the limit in an environment where magic fluctuates frequently, and dozens of days are the limit. If there is a bear child who is curious to cast a spell on it directly, it will be invalid immediately, of course, this is the same as all kinds of household appliances on the earth, and no matter how durable things are, they are not the opponent of bear children.
Jiao Ming had no choice but to shake his head, and the rhythm of the conversation was also mastered by Ms. Yisi. The two discussed several other shortcomings of the refrigerator, and Jiao Ming humbly took out a pen and paper to write them down one by one, thinking in his heart how much money should be charged to the crocodile refrigerator manufacturer for this thing. In the end, the question came down to one key point: the power supply.
"Does this thing have to be connected to this kind of space transmission iron array? Isn't the energy storage pool of the magic lamp good?"
"Absolutely not, the energy storage pool of the magic lamp is completely inadequate. Jiao Ming shook his head.
Ms. Yisi frowned and asked, "Then by the way, let's make sure, are those household devices on the shopping list the same?"
"Of course. ”
"It's good to find it in time, otherwise I would have to let those people buy a bunch of unused furnishings, and I don't know how they will be counted when the time comes. Ms. Yisi patted the outer wall of the refrigerator and looked happy, "Then let's talk about this power supply problem again, why don't we let each family buy a set of manpower generators?"
"And a water magic warrior with at least four rings? Jiao Ming was not optimistic about this plan at all, but he had a faint idea in his heart.
"So how much range can your space transmission iron array support?" Ms. Yisi quickly had a new idea, and coincided with Jiao Ming: "If the power station is placed here with you, it seems that selling this electric energy is also a good way to make money. ”
Thinking of his cheap master Emily, Jiao Ming patted his thigh: "It's done! The effective range and anti-interference ability are not a problem, I am confident to study and solve it." ”
chatting and chatting and discovering another way to make money, Jiao Ming was in a good mood, but this happiness was quickly broken by a voice in his heart, but it was the silent personality who suddenly spoke. There are two contents, one is to ask about the progress of the diffusion of the Blue Mist Elixir in the Red Mountain Kingdom, and the other is to ask Yi Si about the situation of the Red Mountain Kingdom in terms of climate and natural disasters, the older the year, the more comprehensive the project, the better.
... Why don't you ask yourself...
... Kicking you off the line is a bit of a hassle and unnecessary...
... Well, you win ...
Normal personalities are helpless for a while about this straightforwardness, but they can only convey it truthfully.
The former problem is also a problem for Ms. Yisi, who has never relaxed her attention, and has gathered information one by one, which can be summed up as a rapid deterioration.
“...... The market for the Blue Mist Elixir is also expanding strangely rapidly, as you predicted. Some of the old family heads with me have come to watch the withdrawal reactions of a few small gentlemen, but they are still silent in the face of great interests. At this point, he shook his head in disappointment, but he was not discouraged. "However, in Qingshui City, some people have already realized the problem, and there are old craftsmen blocking the door of the Qingwu Pharmacy store, making noise about their own juniors. I'm going to organize these people and try street propaganda. ”
As for the latter question, Yi Si looked inexplicable, the two questions before and after were extremely incompatible, and the severity was also worlds apart, as if the itch had just been compared to the sharp blade on the neck. "What are you asking for?"
"I don't know. Jiao Ming, a normal personality, pointed to his head, suggesting that the meaning was obvious.
Ms. Yisi, who knew about Jiao Ming's schizophrenia, did not delve into it, and simply replied without paying attention to it: "It has always been like this, nothing has changed." ”
Jiao Ming was silent for a moment, and the two exchanged a few words in their hearts, and asked, "Has the Red Mountain Kingdom specially collected climate data?" and put it in the library or the royal archives. If not, such as the grain production of previous years, it is fine. If there are earthquakes, typhoons, mudslides, or floods in the territory, although I don't expect you to have the leisure to provide relief, at least the local lord should also have a letter of grievance. ”
When asked what 'climatological data' was, Ms Eth shook her head, "Who would be bored to collect how much rain it rains each year? And mudslides and floods, I know, what about earthquakes and typhoons?"
Jiao Ming blinked his eyes twice, and after confirming that it was not a joke, he first sighed greatly at the luck of this land. Typhoons are affected by many conditions, some places really do not occur for decades, such as South America and the west coast of Africa, and some places are baptized several times a year, such as China and the east coast of the United States. And earthquakes are similar, non-fault zones are not common, and it seems excusable that Yisi does not know.
But I immediately realized that there was an irrationality, and that there was a fleet under Yisi's name. The climate on the sea is changeable, and the merchant fleet in the kingdom has a long history and is numerous, so how can there be no rumors or records of such violent weather as typhoons. After describing it in detail again, but still receiving a negative answer, Jiao Ming shrugged his shoulders and decided to ask a more knowledgeable fellow as required by the personality of the Silent One.
Ms. Yisi thought about it for a while, and gave an address in Qingshui City, saying that this was a relatively easy-to-talk erudite in the city, and he was involved in the knowledge of many sages, so he might be able to help.
After chatting about the matter, the two talked a few words and jokes, Jiao Ming suddenly remembered something that matched the refrigerator, first sold a pass with Yisi and sent her to a small textile workshop under construction to start experiencing life, and then instructed the kitchen to make fruit soup, cool it and divide it into wooden boxes, insert wooden sticks and put it in the refrigerator.
At dinnertime, this simple fruit popsicle was really well received by everyone, and Ms. Yisi, who ate three sticks in a row, spoke highly of the refrigerator, saying that the refrigerator is definitely the most sought-after household appliance made only by this popsicle.
Two days later, Ms. Yisi, who was no longer inseparable from fruit popsicles, boarded the ship and left with a refrigerator connected to the new version of the space transmission circle, and of course, the four copper coins obtained from the experience of life in the textile workshop, although it was useless, it was also a good souvenir.
And this new group of ordinary laborers has adapted to the collective life of the factory, and even rejoices with a little gratitude, as long as they work, they can eat and drink without worry, which is not a good thing that is often encountered. As for those low-ring magicians, they are still a little dissatisfied, mainly because of the salary, but because of the treatment similar to ordinary people, but under the deterrence of many crocodile collar Central magic warriors, they just complained verbally and did not dare to slack off.
After a few more days, the personality of the silent man was difficult to come out, and he took Dieda to visit the polymath in Qingshui City. The specific content of the conversation is that the normal personality is slightly curious, asking the personality of the silent person to no avail, but asking Dieda but learning that he was given a gag order and dared to say it at his own risk, and suddenly became 'very curious', but he only wrote it down temporarily, and did not embarrass Dieda.
And then came the news from Crocodile Leader Long Vine Town: the shopping building was ready. Jiao Ming immediately teleported to the courtyard where the creeper mark was located in Ms. Yisi's house, and was ushered into the hall under the strange gaze of the servant, only to see Yisi lying on the chair like a sick cat, and a menacing but weak cry came from his face: "You bastard, are you embarrassed to come to see me? After the age of eighteen, the old lady has never hurt so much. ”
Jiao Ming was stunned for a moment, only then did he understand that this was a problem with his menstrual period, smiled bitterly, apologized sincerely, and then explained his intentions, "Sister, are you still going in this situation?"
"If you don't do anything, just the way you treat people and things at once will inevitably mess things up. ”
Ms. Yisi was free from the usual etiquette rules because of the pain, but this frank and outspoken speech made Jiao Ming very comfortable, not because of masochism, but because he finally felt that he was in contact with an ordinary person with joy and anger, not a face that could not see the depth clearly.
