"Do you have anything you need?"
"Uh, I'm just looking!"
"You must be begging for a living at sea!"

Because of the sudden appearance of Zhou Tian and blocking his way, the good-natured crew member at that time neither became angry nor chose to leave. Instead, when he chose to talk to him on Sunday, he dealt with a few calls directly at that time.
It's just obvious that no matter what Zhou Tian said at the time, the crew member's performance didn't seem to be of much interest. If nothing unexpected, by the time the crew member became impatient, it was estimated that no matter how good his temper was, it would be impossible to spend any more time with him on Sunday.
In this way, when he found that the other party's reaction was very perfunctory, Zhou Tian hurriedly thought of a countermeasure at that time.
According to the general situation, Zhou Tian's attempt to force the crew to buy the goods of his own shop was not only inappropriate but also difficult to succeed. In order to achieve his own goals, when the other party did not understand the goods under his hands, Zhou Tian naturally needed to make the other party interested in the goods in his hands in the shortest possible time.
So......
"You may not have seen the goods from our shop, after all, these goods have only been around for a long time, and our shop is the only designated dumping site, and these goods cannot be seen anywhere else. Come, let me introduce you to some of the products that will be useful to you seafarers. After speaking, Zhou Tian didn't care what the reaction of the crew at that time was, he took out a can of canned fruit at that time and said: "This is a canned food invented according to the latest technology, which contains all kinds of fruits. ā
"Fruit is usually prepared when we sail out, and I haven't seen canned food like you said. It's just that...... How many days does this thing last?"
"It won't spoil within a year. ā
"What, a year!"
The crew member who was still indifferent to what Zhou Tian said, but after finally listening to Zhou Tian's words, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation at that time.
If the canned fruit mentioned by Zhou Tian is just a fruit product, then although it is a new snack for the seafarers, if there is no long shelf life, then the minimum number of Zhou Zhou's crew on a voyage will not have much demand for canned fruit. Even for most people, canned fruit is a strange thing to eat, but in terms of taste, canned fruit can't be compared to fresh fruit at all.
So, if canned fruit was just an ordinary processed fruit product, it wouldn't have much of an appeal to the crew. It is estimated that even if it is priced very cheaply on Sunday, I am afraid that the crew will not be interested.
But when Sunday stated that canned fruit could last for almost a year, it meant something different to the crew, and indeed to most of the sailing crew.
What can you do in a year?
In the original book, it doesn't take more than a year to sail several islands at a time, and even if you move quickly, it is enough to complete a route directly on the Great Route. For a long time at that time, if every island had canned fruit, it meant that you could basically eat canned fruit when sailing.
It doesn't matter how good the canned fruit tastes, just know that it's made from fruit.
After losing most of the nutrients, there are still various nutrients in the canned fruit. And the unique nutrition of these fruits, for people who have been sailing for a long time, is often due to lack of disease.
So, to put it bluntly, in the absence of a qualified nutrition chef, if you are ready to sail with some canned fruit, you don't know how many people can be saved?
Because it was the crew that had gone through so many related matters, the crew member knew very well what the appearance of the canned fruit meant. It was also because the appearance of canned fruit was of great significance to the seafaring personnel at that time, so after listening to Zhou Tian's introduction, the crew's first reaction was not to be happy, but to be suspicious of Zhou Tian's introduction.
If the canned fruit was as good as Zhou Tian said, it would mean a lot to the crew or to all the people who were begging for a living at sea. But what if there is no such thing as canned fruit, and what if Sunday's presentation is all fake?
At least when he had never seen canned fruit, when he suddenly heard the introduction of canned fruit from Zhou Tian's mouth, the crew member who entered the store was very suspicious of the authenticity of Zhou Tian's words.
In this way, although after listening to Zhou Tian's introduction, the performance of the crew member at that time was a little excited. But in the end, he calmed down his mood, and cast a suspicious look at Zhou Tian at that time.
I believe that as long as Zhou Tian can't come up with clear evidence to prove that canned fruit really has such a long shelf life, then at least in the early days, he can be regarded as listening to his introduction, just like the current crew, most of the creatures in that world at that time will doubt his words. After all, firstly, there is no such thing as canned fruit in the pirate world, and secondly, it is difficult to convince people of their ability when an unfamous person like Zhou Tian suddenly comes up with a high-tech product.
In this way, according to the situation at the time, before it could be proved that everything about the canned fruit was true, even if they listened to Zhou Tian's words, most people would definitely be skeptical of his words.
Even if Zhou Tian didn't think about it that much at first, he must have known what he was thinking after seeing the change in the crew's expression. In this case, it is a little difficult to give 100% assurance that the other party believes his words, but it is not a problem for Zhou Tian to make corresponding guarantees to improve the credibility of his words.
Therefore, when he saw that the crew member showed a look of disbelief after listening to his words, he was not angry but still confidently said to the other party at that time: "I guarantee that everything I said is true, and I have such a big shop here, it is impossible to cheat you out of such a canned money!"
"You're right. ā
Although I may not believe that canned fruit can really last so long at that time, there must be a certain basis for Zhou Tian to dare to put that kind of words, so even if he can't believe it all, he can try to believe his introduction. Second, the price of canned fruit is not ridiculously expensive, in the case that there is no shortage of money, although a large number of purchases of the crew do not have the funds, but if it is a small amount of private purchase, it is still not enough to constitute economic pressure on it.
As a result, after listening to Zhou Tian's assurance, although he still didn't fully believe Zhou Tian's words, but in the end, after thinking about it, the crew still bought a few boxes of canned fruit from Zhou Tian.
After seeing off the crew member, there were a few more guests who had entered the Sunday shop for various reasons. In the face of those guests, Zhou Tian made some sales pitches without exception, although most of those businessmen didn't believe Zhou Tian's words, but just as Zhou Tian said, he put such a big shop there, and those customers who were not afraid of it running away After thinking about it, they more or less bought something in Zhou Tian's shop.
As a result, whether the goods in Zhou Tian's shop were as good as those he introduced, those people in Rogue Town didn't dare to say anything at that time. But under the premise that Zhou Tian's words had some credibility, the number of people who were interested in the goods in his shop at that time suddenly increased.
There is never a shortage of people who are interested in emerging affairs, or it should be said that people in the world of pirates are more receptive to emerging affairs. After all, the environment is there, and when most of the people like to go out and have adventures, and from time to time they will encounter some animals and plants that they have never seen outside, no matter how strange the goods put out by Zhou Tian are, it will not make those people feel unacceptable.
In fact, at the moment, it is still because Zhou Tian opened a store in Rogue Town, and the people of Donghai basically don't have much knowledge, so they will be such a performance. Otherwise, if on the great voyage, Zhou Tian randomly found a country to open such a store, it is estimated that the interest of customers in goods will be far greater than now.
But in any case, even if those people don't believe in his introduction, as long as they become interested in the products in his store, more or less the goods in the store on Sundays will be able to sell some.
And now what Zhou Tian is short of is an experience time, and when it is basically proved that the goods in the store on Sunday are really as good as they are introduced, then it is estimated that there will be no need to introduce those goods on Sunday, and there will be a large number of merchants who come to buy the goods in their hands.
It can be seen from the changes in Zhou Tian's shop at that time that Zhou Tian has successfully opened up the situation, and I believe that as long as there is no accident, he will dump all kinds of goods in the Wanjie Supermarket, which is completely feasible in the pirate world.
It's just that although Zhou Tian had the possibility of making a fortune in the pirate world at that time, after thinking about it carefully, he was not ready to do that in the end.
The reason is very simple, because from the very beginning, Zhou Tian never thought about making money in the pirate world. Since the purpose of opening that store at the moment is not to earn CSB, whether he makes money or loses money at that time is naturally not as important to Zhou Tian as it seems.
The small business he started made some money, which couldn't be a bad thing for Zhou Tian, but in all respects, it wasn't an important thing for Zhou Tian. As long as it can achieve its original purpose, it doesn't matter whether the store it opens is profitable or loss-making.
In a way, the purpose of opening the shop on Sunday at that time can be said to have been achieved.
After doing so much, what was the reason why Zhou Tian really opened that shop at that time?
The reason why Zhou Tian wanted to open such a shop at that time was just to sell the goods in his hands. Only when the fame of those commodities in Zhou Tian's hands is out, and the information about his commodities is spread everywhere in Rogue Town and even the East China Sea, even if Zhou Tian does nothing, will those underground merchants who want to contact him take the initiative to come to the door.
It is for the plan he made at the beginning, so Zhou Tian has just performed, and now with his efforts, the goods in Zhou Tian's shop have initially made a reputation, so the plan that Zhou Tian formulated at the beginning can be said to be half of the success.
Just wait for the time when those underground merchants come to him, and then Zhou Tian will be able to start the next move. And the specific business of the shop he opened at the moment, although it is not said that it has nothing to do with his plan at all, it is indeed impossible to become the target that Zhou Tian is paying attention to at this time.
"When will those souls come to the door!"
Although Zhou Tian knew that his plan at this time was his only choice and seemed to be the most correct decision. But if it's unlucky, then Zhou Tian's plan will eventually fail, and it's not really impossible.
After all, no matter what, if you want to talk about it seriously, Zhou Tian's time in the pirate world is limited after all, and he can do a lot of things in a year, but if he doesn't have the corresponding foundation, like what Zhou Tian wanted to do at that time, it will be difficult to even lay a foundation in a year, let alone achieve his most desired goal.
It can be said that if Zhou Tian's plan had gone smoothly at that time, it would not have taken long for him to see the business opportunities in him and contact him when he met that kind of underground businessman with a 'sharp nose'. But if Zhou Tian's plan doesn't go well, then the time when the underground merchants will contact him will not know what day it is.
And according to the situation at that time, if there were no accidents, it was estimated that the hope of Zhou Tian to wait for those underground merchants in a short period of time was not very great.
As for the purpose or attitude of those underground businessmen at that time, Zhou Tian didn't care much when he arrived. Anyway, he is not without the ability to resist, if those underground merchants who come over are really going to do something to make them unhappy, Zhou Tian really doesn't mind teaching them a lesson.
It's just that......
At that time, Zhou Tian was still thinking about when an underground merchant would come to him and how he would contact the other party, when an unexpected appearance directly disrupted his entire plan.
"It's delicious, it's delicious!"
"There are thieves!"
One night, after closing the door, he suddenly heard a slight movement in his shop, and when he approached the location where the sound came from, he made a very uncomfortable discovery through the light and shadow.
Zhou Tian didn't expect that its underground merchants had not yet arrived, and now there was a thief who stole in his shop at that time.
