Chapter 11: Change Your Thinking and Make Big Money
The strength growth was too fierce and did not give Shi Lei enough time to adapt, so Shi Lei's ability to control his body was much worse.
I accidentally crushed my usual cup and gently supported the floor to make myself stand up, but I pressed my entire hand into the floor. This is not uncommon.
In order to prevent himself from unconsciously hurting the people around him, Shi Lei had to tell the butler that he needed to stay in seclusion for a period of time and that his martial arts might make a breakthrough.
The butler and the others were very concerned about this and quickly arranged everything. They would carefully place the food at the door every day for Shi Lei to use.
In fact, Shi Lei was alone in the house, of course, not comprehending his martial arts, but carefully adapting to his already different body. Start with small things and regain control of his own strength.
Like a freshman, I learn to eat and use all kinds of things at hand. When I feel that I can grasp some strength, I really start to gradually increase the difficulty of my movements, and finally resume martial arts practice, this kind of exercise that requires mobilizing the strength of my whole body.
During the period of retreat, Shi Lei was also rethinking his gains and losses during this period. Then he was very depressed to find that his approach was actually a bit stupid, or that it had not yet been completely integrated into the thinking of this era.
During the period when consciousness had just merged, Shi Lei's attention was mostly focused on how to apply what he knew in his previous life to this world. As a result, reality almost broke Shi Lei's confidence in continuing to live.
After the existence of the animal transformation system, Shi Lei could be said to have placed all his emotions on transforming animals and put all his development hopes on it, even ignoring the many development opportunities in this world.
Looking back now, I feel that this place with such rich resources can only be developed through animal transformation systems?
You can lead the merchants to develop some local resources and projects.
In the future, there are many places where people can become tourist attractions and have many local specialties, but there is no reason why they cannot find their advantages now.
For example, the various mountain products here are of great quality. The surrounding area of bamboo forests and mountain forests produces a lot of good things. They can not only satisfy the appetite of the merchants, but also sell them out. There are several major categories that have been seen so far.
There are rich animal resources here, such as leopards with good fur, beautiful pheasants, bamboo rats with delicious meat, and many of these things that the farmers who often enter the mountains have succeeded.
If Shi Lei remembers correctly, the hunter said that there are tigers and rhinos all over the body. Although hunting such a big guy is a little more dangerous, the benefits are naturally extraordinary.
Besides, with experts like Uncle Hunter, other merchants are definitely not weak, so there should be no problem in getting them done.
Shi Lei, who came from later generations, also knew that there was a specialty Yayu here, which was called "Yazhou San Jue" together with Yanu and Yayu. Because there was a bone-like sword in its body, it was said that Yayu was transformed from the sword left by Nuwa when she repaired the sky.
It is also said that the skull of Yayu hidden a "sword". It was a car that broke into the river after Su Qin left the country during the Warring States Period. His sword slid down into the river and collected it. It became an "anti-counterfeiting mark" for identifying Yayu in the future: if there is a sword, it is true, and if there is no sword, it is false.
With such a good gimmick, and the quality of this fish itself is indeed excellent, there is no reason why it is not popular.
This is how sales are. If you can sell high-priced things, you must have a gimmick.
I have you or not, let’s sell you a unique one; you have me and I have you, let’s compete with you for a long history; you and I are both old brands, let’s tell you stories; if you tell them, let’s sell your feelings; if you have feelings, let’s also sell your origins, such as we are tributes and we are good things that Lao Furong cannot do without (this thing like A Furong is not considered).
Nowadays, Yayu can be said to have all these advantages, and becoming a fist product is just around the corner. Then, the poem Du Fu praised Yayu, "The fish knows that the Bing hole is particularly beautiful", will spread it out and the connotation will be further improved.
If you don’t spend a lot of money to taste such things, wouldn’t it seem that you don’t have enough style?
Anyway, when Shi Lei came to Yazhou for a trip, he was attracted by these beautiful legends. While listening to the explanation, he tasted the delicious Yayu. He felt that the money he spent was not too unfair.
The plant resources here are also very rich. Just look at the lush bamboo forests and other forests. Using these bamboos and various trees is a considerable resource.
Among the farmers, since there are so many craftsmen, they can develop more novel things. In this regard, Shi Lei, who came from the later generations of information explosion, is still relatively confident. Knowledge itself can also become a rich wealth.
For example, the high-foot furniture that has become more common now still remains in very regular shapes. The Arhat bed with regular lines, slightly rigid square stools and straight back chairs, and things like the Eight Immortals Table.
Shi Lei can draw patterns and ask the merchants to make some embracing official hat chairs, racks and beds. By the way, the concepts of ergonomics are introduced. Anyway, comfort is felt, so just make a gimmick and enhance your brand value.
By the way, you have to establish a brand concept early in the morning and must leave your own unique mark. No matter how well you have a reputation as a guarantee, you don’t have to worry about sales.
The deep processing of bamboo can also be carried out in accordance with these. A very cultural folding fan can greatly increase their value.
There is also the "Gong Fan" that is still expensive in later generations, which is the bamboo silk fan, one of the four famous fans. As well as various bamboo stationery tools, they all require fine handmade things, and the prices are also very expensive.
Speaking of study supplies, Yazhou produces "Wailang Inkstone", a good inkstone that is known as comparable to the four famous inkstones. Find a master craftsman to carefully craft it, and the price should not be too beautiful.
In addition to these things that can be seen everywhere, there are also many delicious delicacies such as bamboo fungus. As long as the processing method is correct, you will not have to worry about not being sold far away.
Moreover, there are many kinds of medicinal materials in Yazhou. Especially Gastrodia elata and Iron Maple Dot, the quality is considered top-notch and the price is not much lower.
As soon as this idea was opened, Shi Lei realized that he had missed many good things. He had also walked into a dead end before, and Shi Lei was so upset that he wanted to give him some.
However, considering my strength now, I have to give myself some hard work. If I can't control it well, I might die young or die at my own hands, which would be too funny. So I gently patted my legs and the matter was revealed.
I couldn't wait to call the butler uncle, and Shi Lei gave all his thoughts to the butler uncle.
The uncle who came with joy on his face thought Shi Lei had made a breakthrough. He was eager to try and felt how much Shi Lei's understanding of martial arts had improved. Unexpectedly, what he heard was the idea of making money.
"I have long reminded everyone to collect all kinds of mountain products and furs. We all know the methods of dealing with mountain products, so there is no need to worry about them. I have never heard of several unique products that Dalang said in Yazhou before, and I will continue to give these instructions.
Among the merchants, there are indeed many skilled people who are not bad. I will arrange suitable personnel to try out the several objects Dalang said, so Dalang is safe.
Where should we send these things? I have arranged someone to inquire in Yazhou. Although they are closest to us and are more convenient to ship them, they are not short of these things and cannot be sold at a good price."
Although he was a little disappointed not hearing the news of Shi Lei's breakthrough, the butler was also very pleased that Shi Lei was able to care about the lives of the farmers in this way.
It is not easy for a noble young master who has never really felt the difficulties of life in the city. It must be Shi Lei who often thinks about these things to have these ideas.
After hearing the butler's answer, Shi Lei felt a little relieved. Although a big butler is not necessarily a good businessman, it is their job to manage a group of people and deal with various complicated things, but there is definitely no shortage of business minds. Otherwise, how can a big family be managed well?
Many things naturally need to be ahead and do in front. It may be because they are concerned about Shi Lei's idea and have never taken the initiative to propose it.
"I think it's better to send it to Yizhou. It's a big business there, so you won't have to worry about not being able to sell it at a good price. It's just that I have to find a suitable shopkeeper on this journey."
Shi Lei thought that there was always a saying of "Yang Yi Yi Er" at this time. By the time of Emperor Xuanzong, Yizhou even surpassed Yangzhou and became the largest economic center. So at this time, Yizhou's trade must have been very developed and there would definitely be no need to worry about sales.
"Okay, I'll take everyone with me on this first trip. After I've made the way, I can arrange the right person to take over.
I think Lao Yang is fine. He is the old man from Sichuan and is familiar with the road here." The butler seemed to be not surprised by Shi Lei's answer at all, or he thought so, and he had already had a draft of this.
"In addition, there is no need to worry about the guards. Our family has always been known for producing warriors. Just call some merchants to go with them, and help them protect them while transporting things.
Our family is still famous on the ground in central Sichuan. I think there should be no stupid thieves who dare to stroke our tiger beards." The butler said confidently, and gave Shi Lei a mysterious smile.
"Well, I think our family's force is definitely fine. But this is the first trip, I'd better bring half of the guards. We must make our family famous. If we level the road, we will be able to leave in the future."
Shi Lei had no doubt about this. A group of fierce soldiers from the Xuanjia Army faced some bandits that might appear, and it would be no problem to tie the opponent. If these people were dispatched, the prefectures along the way would be nervous.
Such failure has never appeared in Shi Lei's mind. This is a powerful force that can defeat an ordinary army of thousands of people.
