Chapter 8 Running a Workshop

Zhou Tian has a corresponding plan in his heart, but at this moment, even if Zhou Tian has his own plan in his heart, it is impossible to act directly. After all, Zhou Tian's plan is not perfect, and the most important point is that the relationship between Zhou Tian and the current orcs has not yet reached the point where the two sides can cooperate.

At least for now, Zhou Tian wants to profit from those half-orcs in addition to ordinary transactions, but no matter what, the future will be talked about in the future, and now since he can earn benefits from those half-orcs through trading, Zhou Tian has no need to be polite to the other party.

In fact, those orcs were even more anxious than Zhou Tian, and they didn't even wait for Zhou Tian to take a break, and when the half-orcs who got the news had just taken their seats in the house arranged by Anna and them, a large group of half-orcs were already waiting in line outside.

But fortunately, although the group of orcs at that time were in a hurry to trade with Zhou Tian, they also knew that they needed this deal more than Zhou Tian at the moment. So even if they came to the door early, before Zhou Tian didn't speak, those orcs didn't dare to urge him to trade.

But in fact, in that environment at that time, it was possible that Sunday could not be rested?

There were a large number of orcs staring at every move, and in such a situation at that time, Zhou Tian was embarrassed even if he wanted to rest. So very consciously, when he saw those half-orcs waiting in line, Zhou Tian didn't need them to destroy them at all, so he said: "You prepare the things for trading, and I will estimate the price and pay with salt, no problem!"

"No problem, no problem!"

Zhou Tian is willing to trade those half-orcs who have been waiting for a while, and he will not have any opinions. Almost after Zhou Tian's words, the orcs who had already lined up had already entered the house to entertain Zhou Tian in an orderly manner.

"Well, these hides are well preserved, so I'll give you three bags of salt, no problem!"

"No problem, no problem!"

"It's not high, but it's a lot, and I'll give you five bags of salt. ”

"Thank you, thank you!"

“......”

Similar to what Zhou Tian imagined, those orcs lacked even coarse salt with a lot of sand, and they had no ability to resist in the face of Zhou Tian's pure canonical salt. So in the process of trading between the two sides, Zhou Tian almost completely took the initiative, after those half-orcs took out what they thought was valuable, the next thing was to see Zhou Tian set the price for them, Zhou Tian wanted to give more or less, even if he didn't know how Zhou Tian set the price, but in the whole process of the transaction, there was still no half-orc who dared to give an opinion.

In the eyes of those half-orcs, the salt traded to them by Zhou Tian was snow-white and free of impurities, and it was not difficult to exchange salt like this for coarse salt directly in the outside world. And the amount of salt that Zhou Tian traded to them was quite a lot, and after a simple conversion of the amount of salt they usually exchanged, those orcs found that the coarse salt that Zhou Tian paid them was more than a hundred times more than that of other salt merchants.

The only thing that made those half-orcs couldn't help but muttered was that the salt given to them by Zhou Tian was so good that those half-orcs couldn't keep their mouths in the face of those salts. Even some half-orcs who were short of salt and afraid had even made up their minds there, and if they had the opportunity in a few days, they would definitely go out and exchange the salt in their hands in the orc city for coarse salt, so that although the quality of salt had been reduced, the salt in their hands would be able to be used for a while longer.

Zhou Tian can be said to know nothing about the thoughts in the hearts of those half-orcs, but what those half-orcs are thinking in their hearts, Zhou Tian can probably guess what he can think. After all, most of the half-orcs are simple-minded people, and if there is something in their hearts, they will directly put it on their faces, and Zhou Tian of a race like this is really ready to cooperate with them, otherwise he will really be a profiteer, and Zhou Tian is confident that he will directly expand the profit of this transaction tenfold.

And now that the deal has been completed, the benefits that Zhou Tian should give have almost been given to those half-orcs, and after most of the half-orcs left satisfied, Zhou Tian was ready to mention the matter of cooperation.

Craftsmanship, this is the first project that Zhou Tian is going to work with these orcs.

Although most of the half-orcs are macho men, there is no shortage of girls like Anna, and Zhou Tian's purchase price through the Wanjie Supermarket has been calculated, if the purchase price of raw materials is one yuan CSB, then it can be sold for five yuan with simple processing, and some exquisite handmade products, it is not a problem to sell for tens or hundreds of yuan.

Undoubtedly, according to the purchase price of Wanjie Supermarket, Zhou Tian clearly realized that selling materials directly is the stupidest way. Even without the help of a master, Zhou Tian can set up a small workshop and simply process the purchased materials, so that the profit from selling to the supermarket can directly increase several times.

There are only two difficulties in this plan, one is where to find the workers, and the other is the treatment of the workers.

It's just obvious that after discovering the difference in the supermarket's purchase price, Zhou Tian has already started this plan. And these half-orcs in front of him, even the kobolds of Kotou Village, had already been targeted by Zhou Tian a long time ago.

As for the wages?

For the sake of a few bags of salt, the half-orcs who can sell all their family property, Zhou Tian really can't see how rich they can be. And according to the current per capita income situation of the Orc Empire, the orc nobleman Zhou Tian didn't dare to think about it, but at the moment, these ordinary orcs and half-orcs, if Zhou Tian wants to ask them to work, I believe it will really not cost a few dollars.

I didn't mention it before, just because Zhou Tian was not familiar with these half-orcs, although Anna and the other half-orcs seemed to trust him, but in the end they were just ordinary villagers, in this kind of major event that related to the future of all the villagers, without the nod of the elders in the village, Zhou Tian believed that it didn't make any sense for only Anna and them to agree.

It was precisely because he knew that Anna had no possibility of doing the main thing, so even if he saw their trust in him, he had not mentioned cooperation at all before this.

It's different now, not to mention how much those orcs trust him through the previous transaction, but after that transaction, those orcs have definitely remembered his 'financial resources'. And in the face of the lack of salt in the future, if they can establish a long-term trading relationship with Zhou Tian, those orcs will not refuse.

And if they want to have a good relationship with Zhou Tian, they will not refuse Zhou Tian's idea of starting a workshop. What's more, as long as Zhou Tian can be trusted, a suggestion like Zhou Tian's proposal is also a favorable thing for those orcs themselves.

Zhou Tian also saw it, the living conditions of the half-orcs are worse than the kobolds, they lack salt but also lack food, it can be said that if it is not enough food, how could Anna enter the back mountain to hunt, after all, they are half-orcs, although the beast is not terrible, but once the whereabouts of the traffickers are discovered, it will be a catastrophe for their village.

In this way, if Zhou Tian could provide them with a job where they could earn food and daily necessities without going out, I don't think any orcs would refuse!

With a decision in his heart, Zhou Tian naturally put forward his own ideas to Anna.

"Anna, I don't think life is going well in your village, but I am a merchant, and I have some other business besides selling salt, some of which I have not yet done, and if you agree, I would like to leave it to you. Don't worry, I won't let you help in vain, as long as you complete the corresponding work, I can settle your wages with salt and food. ”

After listening to Zhou Tian's words, Anna's expression was correct, and she hurriedly asked him: "If it's convenient, I don't know if Brother Zhou can tell me what kind of work it is, you also know that we half-orcs are not as smart as your human race, and we haven't done the work you said at all, it's a good thing that you are willing to help us, I'm afraid that we can't do the work you arranged." Speaking of this, Anna couldn't help but show a trace of uneasiness, after all, Zhou Tian was ready to help their group of orcs at the moment, and she still asked these detailed questions, if it made Zhou Tian unhappy because of this, it would not be good.

But fortunately, Zhou Tianyuan attached more importance to these half-orcs than Anna thought, so after listening to her words, he did not get angry because of her performance, but replied directly: "Some very simple jobs, such as making clothes and shoes from animal skins, I see that most of the clothes you wear are homemade, I think this kind of work should not be difficult for you!"

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult!" Obviously, Anna didn't expect the work mentioned by Zhou Tian to be so 'simple', so after listening to Zhou Tian's explanation, he immediately replied excitedly: "There are a lot of people in our village who will make clothes, Aunt Lucy, Sister Anji, ......" One by one, the names were reported, and after Anna's excitement eased a little, she reacted and hurriedly said: "Brother Zhou, wait a minute, I can't do this kind of thing, I'll go and find the village chief." After speaking, without waiting for Zhou Tian to reply, Anna ran out in a hurry.

"Anna, slow down, I'll ......" Originally, Zhou Tian wanted to learn about the village chief's information from Anna before talking about cooperation, but he didn't want Anna's actions to be so fast, he hadn't finished his words and had already rushed out, but after beckoning, Zhou Tian could only let the other party go out and call people.

Even Anna knew that what Zhou Tian had mentioned was beneficial to their village, and as the head of the Orc Village, it was impossible for her to think that Zhou Tian's plan would help them.

So Zhou Tian didn't have to wait long at all, and less than ten minutes after Anna left, a middle-aged man with horns rushed towards the house where he lived, led by Anna.
