Chapter 565: Opportunity
With the first set, there is the second and third set. In this way, five sets of sanitary equipment were made in succession, and then it stopped. No way, now the house is big and the population is large. It's finally back to civilization, and someone doesn't want to experience the feeling of being shut out and holding and urine. That's too aggrieved.
And not only the silverbearded dwarf, Uzov, the black dragon Augustus, etc., have all been defeated on the toilet bowl of the earth's modernization. Even the craftsmen who came to the house to help with the decoration went crazy after seeing and using it.
The four basic needs of man, eating, drinking, and Lazar, have been the same since ancient times. And the toilet has something to do with two of them.
Eating and drinking, thanks to the discovery of more and more ingredients and spices, people who strive for excellence have found countless possibilities, and have made great progress compared to the past. But on the other hand, although the appearance of toilets is becoming more and more refined, in fact, there is not much improvement in function.
For some ordinary people living in small houses, the solution has not changed for thousands of years. Larger cities, well-planned, have public toilets in every area. When people need it, they either go directly to the public toilet or use the drowning bucket to solve the problem. After that, the bucket is taken to the public toilet for dumping, or in the early morning, there will be a special person who collects night incense.
In poorly planned cities, or villages and towns that don't manage this area, these drowning may just go straight to the ditch. There is not even a drowning bucket urinal, find a place where few people walk, and solve it as soon as you take off your pants, how can there be any hygienic and unhygienic statement.
As for some large households, the idea of having a fixed toilet directly connected to a septic tank or sewer has been around for a long time. But the stench that poured back down the lines made people choose to build the toilets away from the main premises.
Most of the time, if people don't want to walk a long distance to the toilet, they will use buckets and urinals, which will be dumped and washed by waiters. Sometimes you even have to take care of your own stool yourself.
But the design of a flush toilet and an S-shaped bend solves a lot of problems at a stretch. Although it doesn't mean that you don't have to clean up at all in the future, at least you don't have to deal with feces and urine all day long. You must know that if you don't empty and clean the drowning bucket and urinal with feces and urine, they will still smell.
For the craftsmen who come here to decorate, although it seems that the toilet is a magic prop. But for the sake of his own happiness and comfort in the future, many magic devices can actually be overcome by earthy methods, making the toilet less magical.
But if you want to do this business, the magician in front of you is the object that you can't avoid. At least the structure inside the toilet has not yet been seen. Anyway, in front of the magician, smash open a toilet bowl and see what's going on inside. I'm afraid that the next moment, it will be my own head smashed open.
At dusk, after finishing the day's work, several craftsmen came to Lin together. They took off their hats and greeted tremblingly, "Your Excellency." That ......"
"Yes."
A group of craftsmen stopped talking, but no one spoke first. Just before Lin began to get impatient, one of the eldest said, "My lord, the toilet you made will not forget its comfort and convenience after using it once. I don't know if you would like to sell me a toilet bowl and a complete set of sanitary equipment, or tell me how to make it, and I will make it myself. Of course, I will never pass it on without your permission. I just want to use it in my own home. ”
Someone got up, others scrambled in a panic and said, "No! Tell me, my lord, that I can help you make and sell this complete set of sanitary equipment. It's definitely a big money thing, and I'm willing to take on most of the work for adults, as long as you nod your head and agree. Thirty percent, my remuneration is only three achievements. "No, sir! Leave it to me, leave it to me. I promise to make more money. ”……
A group of people argued noisily. If it weren't for the fact that this person in front of him was a magician, I'm afraid they would all rush up and grab someone.
As for Lin watching a group of old men wary of each other, he yelled at himself enthusiastically, no matter what, he couldn't adapt to it. Hurriedly reassured everyone and said, "Stop, stop." I probably understand what you mean, so I'll stop and listen to me. ”
Only then did the craftsmen fall silent, their eyes fixed on someone.
Clear your mind a little. In fact, there is something that is very rich, so everyone wants a piece of the pie. But obviously, these people didn't think about it, they just got hot. So Lin said: "It seems that you all think the toilet is a good thing and want to do this business, right?" ”
Everyone nodded in unison.
"But have you ever thought about how?" 85
The craftsmen looked at each other. Why, do business and need a magician to teach them?
"Listen to me first, and then think about what comes next. First of all, you all want to do this business because you think that as long as you figure out the structure of the toilet, you can do it. Even if you don't use those magic devices, there are other alternatives to it. Right. ”
Although everyone nodded, they couldn't help but think suspiciously. When this magician said this, could it be that there was some secret hidden in the toilet?
"You don't have to think about it. I'll be straight ahead, you're right. The toilet is indeed something that you can do if you see it, and the difference is only that it is done well or poorly. And even if you completely decouple from magic, you can find an alternative. ”
Some people's eyes lit up immediately when they heard this; But there are also people who look worried. One of the responsibilities of the Wizards' Guild is to protect the knowledge of magicians. But to be precise, the Guild only protects 'magical knowledge'.
If the toilet is indeed constructed as the magician claims, it means that it will not be under the protection of the Society's knowledge. As long as someone buys one back and smashes it open, he probably knows how to do it, and he will become a competitor in this business.
"It looks like someone has figured it out, and someone hasn't figured it out yet. That's right, the toilet business is a business with a very low barrier to entry for me. As long as the beginning is made, there will be competitors soon. Fortunately, this market will be large, after all, this is a thing that can be used by everyone from princes and nobles to the poor. So the question is, how long does it take for you to make a set of sanitary equipment on your own, and then install it, including the installation of sewage pipes? Three days? Five days? ”
Everyone thought about it for a while, and it was. Even if you call all your disciples and grandchildren, from making toilets and other equipment to installing them, it will not be possible to do it in a few days. And during this time, how many competitors will emerge and how many businesses will fall into the hands of others. It doesn't seem to be that easy to earn.
"So I think that if you want to do this business, you don't have to fight for it, you have to join forces. Use the collective strength to form a scale, open the market as quickly as possible, and start a reputation. As long as the things are really good, the quality of the construction is also good, and you started the business, it is natural to attract customers who would rather wait a little longer and spend a little more money, but just make things as good as possible. ”
Everyone was dumbfounded, they had never expected to hear something that felt so reasonable from a magician.
"If you really have the heart to do it," the people pricked up their ears, "it is not that I cannot help you. But I won't be there personally, and someone else will lead you. Well, Uzov, can I ask you about this? ”
The man who was suddenly named was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency, although I know that this is a good thing, I don't know about the toilet. I don't know how to make it, I don't know how to buy and sell, can I do it? And look for me, is it really good? ”
Lin smiled: "I couldn't drive you away if I wanted to drive you away before." Since you want to stay and be a dutiful bell around your cat's neck, at least do me a little favor and don't make me feel abrupt to keep you around. Besides, don't worry about understanding or not. Have you ever seen a toilet before today? Since it is a new business, everyone who comes has to go through the stage of exploration. And you didn't run a tavern before? What I'm interested in is your ability to make friends, not how much money you really make. ”
"The ability to make friends?" Uzov Gantya asked, confused:
"yes. There's nothing wrong with having one more friend and multiple paths. Besides, I don't ask you how much money you make, how much is mine. In the future, my focus will still be on teaching at the Magic Research and Academy, and I can't put too much thought into it. So I'm going to hand it off, or let someone else do it. ”
After thinking about it, Uzov nodded in agreement: "If that's all you ask, then I'll give it a try." ”
The craftsmen should have been happy that someone had taken the lead and started their own business, but they had a little worry in their hearts. In addition to worrying about whether the prospects of this business are really as this person said, I am also worried about this person's character and whether he is trustworthy. After all, working with a magician is not something that can be easily decided. No one wants to be inexplicable and become the money bag of the master.
Looking at the silent craftsmen, Lin did not force everyone to agree, but said: "I know that if you want to add in, there will be a lot of concerns. But all this is not in a hurry, you think about it. In addition to the time I need to write a charter, I will have to wait until I change my home. ”
"Of course, of course." All the craftsmen nodded and said in unison.
At night, two apprentices came to Lin and asked puzzledly, "Teacher, isn't it the first time you've made a toilet?" At the beginning, there was the Tower of the Great Sage, and there was also the home of Wulian City, so no one did it? ”
Someone sneered twice and said, "People who haven't seen it naturally don't understand the value." I heard that the toilets and baths of the Great Sage's Tower were considered to be facilities unrelated to the war in order to meet the abyss gate that would be opened in the battle, so they were demolished before they could figure out their purpose. I went back to see the home in Wulian City, and it was even more miserable. When we ran away, the house was swept away and the house was destroyed. What do you think can be a good thing? War and resentment are inherently easy to bury good things. ”
