Several people sat down and quickly formulated a plan.
Li Shui said to Damai and Zhou Gui: "Because this is our first cooperation, all the rules are primitive, so I will give you a discount without charging interest. As long as you repay me no less than 20,000 yuan every month. Until it is repaid. .how?"
Damai nodded.
Zhou Gui glanced at Damai and said cautiously: "Exalted Immortal... Now that Damai has agreed, can I withdraw?"
Li Shui glanced at him: "According to the rules of installment repayment, you can afford the payment. You don't want the Liu brothers to endorse you? Help you make money?"
Zhou Guiqian smiled and said, "No need for the time being."
Ten million dollars, can you earn it back in three months? Three million dollars a month? How can this be?
Zhou Gui glanced at Damai and felt that in three months, Damai would be like himself and lose everything.
As for barley, he didn't care and accepted it happily.
Firstly, he believed that the banished immortal would not trick him. Secondly, I have a fortune of 800,000 yuan, which is enough to keep me busy for a while. Thirdly, business has been very good recently. Even if the Liu brothers can't make much money from their endorsements, they can still make 20,000 yuan a month.
Li Shui looked at Da Mai with satisfaction, then nodded and ordered Niu Dao to sign a document with him.
After writing the paperwork, Li Shui and Damai left Zhou Gui's house.
Zhou Gui breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the ground, and laughed loudly.
Zhou Gui's wife walked out with her hands tied and asked fearfully: "Is the matter resolved?"
Zhou Gui nodded: "Da Mai was taken advantage of and took over this mess."
Mrs. Zhou Gui cried with joy, hugged Zhou Gui and said, "Oh my goodness, our family can be saved."
Zhou Guiwei closed his eyes: "Yes, there is hope, there is hope..."
The two men fell to the ground in excitement.
That night, Zhou Gui felt that the cold ground was warm, very warm...
…………
Damai returned to his home with a piece of paper.
Damai's wife, Damai's mother, Sanhua... in short, all of Damai's relatives are up.
Damai told what happened. After everyone listened, they were silent.
Sanhua sighed: "Damai, why did you come here? How smart was the shopkeeper that week? He was using you as a stepping stone to climb out of the pit."
Damai smiled slightly: "How could banishing the immortal harm me?"
Sanhua smiled bitterly and stopped talking.
She also received cattle and sheep from Lishui. Who among the poor in Guanzhong has not received relief from Lishui? There is really no way to speak ill of Li Shui.
Lady Damai asked Damai: "Can we pay back twenty thousand dollars a month?"
Damai said: "Don't worry. On the way back, Niu Calf whispered to me that if the business is not good, he will mobilize all the servants in Shangjun Courtyard to buy our cakes. No matter what, he will not let us lose money."
The barley lady immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Damai's mother said: "What kind of life did we live in the past? We ate bran-thick vegetables and didn't even have good clothes. Now we have opened a shop in Xianyang City and have a fortune of hundreds of thousands. This is all about banishing immortals. It’s given.”
"From now on, it's okay to pay 20,000 yuan a month. As long as I can still make a little bit, it's enough to support the family. It's just making less money. This can be regarded as repaying the kindness of banishing the immortal."
Several people nodded.
That night, they didn't feel sleepy at all and kept talking until dawn.
After dawn, Niu Cal came to visit and said to Damai with a smile: "Brother Mai, you are now from our Shangjun Courtyard... What is that word called? By the way, it is called a partner. So you can be considered a distinguished guest of the banished immortal. Come on. Let’s talk in detail about letting the Liu brothers speak for themselves.”
Damai said a little confused: "It's... really an endorsement."
The calf took his arm and said, "What are you talking about? Ten million dollars have been spent, at least you should hear some noise."
The calf pulled Barley to the street, and many pedestrians looked at Barley with strange eyes.
After dawn, it only took half an hour for everyone in Xianyang City to hear: Last night, Zhou Gui regretted the transfer of the Liu brothers to Damai.
Shopkeeper Zhou regretted it, which shows that this endorsement is not reliable. In fact, deep down in the hearts of Xianyang people, they also feel that this endorsement is unreliable. Four big living people, three months, worth 10 million yuan? Are you kidding me?
Therefore, when they looked at Barley, there was sympathy, ridicule, and schadenfreude in their eyes.
Damai, a poor man, became rich in just a few months. Everyone had already disliked him. Now he is going to be unlucky. That's great.
The calf stared around and said, "Get away."
Those who were watching dispersed.
Damai followed the calf all the way into Shangjun's courtyard, and was then taken to a courtyard.
In the courtyard, four people from Xiang Yu were neatly dressed and gathered together to pose. They stood there motionless as if they had been immobilized.
Damai asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
Niu Du said: "This is the meaning of banishing the immortal. You are the first person to cooperate with our Shangjun Villa. Therefore, we will give you a big discount and give you a complete set of operations."
"Have you seen this room? This is the studio of our Shangjun Courtyard. Use the small holes to image and draw the faces of these four people. I have seen this kind of painting, and it looks very similar."
Before he finished speaking, the studio door opened, and an old man came out holding a piece of paper.
As he walked, the old man muttered: "Painting relies on artistic conception. When I draw something, my mood is as floating as a fairy. How comfortable is it? But today I was asked to draw these. What's the use of making a similar picture? It's just a copy. Graphics are just drawn one stroke at a time. What’s the interest? What’s the soul?”
Da Mai asked the calf in confusion: "What is he talking about?"
Niu Du said: "This is the painter we invited. In fact, he is a Confucian scholar who is proficient in classics, chess, calligraphy and painting. Painting is just a side job. The old man said that things painted through small holes have no soul."
Damai was shocked: "Is there really a soul in this painting?"
The painter looked at Damai with disdain and then handed him a piece of paper.
When Damai picked it up and looked at it, he was immediately shocked.
This paper is not big, and four people, Xiang Yu, are clearly drawn on it. Exactly the same, very similar.
Damai said with emotion: "It's really amazing, they are exactly the same."
Niu Calf took one look and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, it's time to make the plate."
Soon, a craftsman took the paper away.
It only took half an hour for the craftsmen to carve the plate according to the painting and then start printing.
In less than an hour, thousands of paintings had come out.
Barley asked the calf, "What is this for?"
Niu Calf said: "This is called wrapping paper. When you sell cakes later, you can use these papers to wrap the cakes and sell them to customers. It is novel, noble and clean."
Damai nodded repeatedly: "That makes sense, that makes sense. But...how precious are fairy papers? Isn't it too wasteful to use them to wrap cakes?"
Niu Du waved his hand: "Don't worry, the patent on the fairy paper will expire in three or two days. The Exalted Immortal said that by then, the fairy paper will be as cheap as well water."
Damai shouted.
…………
At the same time, many people in Xianyang City are paying attention to barley pastries.
Jiang Yuan, a great businessman, was one of them.
Jiang Yuan's clerk asked: "Shop manager, this barley cost 10 million yuan and got the Liu brothers' endorsement for three months. Can he really make back his capital?"
Jiang Yuan shook his head: "Absolutely impossible. I will never believe a pastry seller who sold ten million yuan in three months."
Jiang Yuan asked for a seat in the tavern across from Damai Pastry. While drinking, he looked at Damai Pastry sympathetically and sighed: "I have already inquired about Damai's past. He is a loyal and honest person. Repaying a favor. But... this repaying a favor will eventually harm him."
"Businessmen value profits but not feelings."
The waiter nodded in agreement and looked at his shopkeeper with reverence.
In fact, today, not only merchants are paying attention to barley cakes, but also the powerful people in Xianyang City.
They pay attention to barley cakes, not interested in barley, but interested in Lishui.
Among these dignitaries was Chunyu Yue.
Today Chunyu Yue wore casual clothes and also arrived at the tavern. Sitting next to him were several doctors.
The doctors asked in a low voice: "Sir, do you think it can be done to banish the immortal this time?"
Chunyu Yue chuckled: "Huaiguzi is making a big splash this time. But I want to tell you, when you climb high, you must fall hard. In the past few months, Barley Pastry will definitely lose money, and it will hit Huaiguzi hard in the face. Presumably he will restrain himself a little after losing someone."
Those doctors whispered: "But the banished immortal is so shameless that he would care about this?"
Chunyu Yue was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said distressedly: "It seems so. If he is shameless and doesn't know how to restrain himself, I will have no choice but to remonstrate with Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to issue an order prohibiting the banishment of immortals from messing around and causing harm. The common people.”
While they were talking, Li Si and Wang Wan also came in.
They nodded to Chunyu Yue and others, and then sat down at a nearby table, with a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes.
Today, the tavern owner is happy. Unexpectedly, Damai Pastry became an endorsement, and his business also improved.
…………
At noon, Xiang Yu and four others arrived at the gate of Damai Team.
They were all dressed in the attire of the selection meeting that day and looked very heroic.
The four people stood at the door of the barley pastry and said to the onlookers with smiles on their faces: "Everyone, please try the barley pastry. It can be regarded as a compliment to the four of us brothers."
It's okay for other people to say that the female relatives of the wealthy families in Xianyang City are all attracted to him.
That day, Xiang Yu and his four men dominated the crowd at the selection meeting, which had already made the female relatives mesmerized. Now that they were endorsing Damai, the female relatives did not want Xiang Yu to lose face, so they entered Damai's stores one after another.
Every time someone comes in, Xiang Yu wants to say to her with a gentle look: "Thank you."
After hearing these two words, the female relatives were full of desire to buy.
In fact, none of them realized that they were the first group of star-chasers since the beginning of the world.
Xiang Yu didn't know how many times he said thank you, because he had kept smiling for a long time, and his face was already a little stiff.
But he couldn't relax. Because this is Li Shui's rigid rule. Only by fulfilling Li Shui's request can he win his favor and become a personal guard.
In order to assassinate Li Shui, Xiang Yu also fought hard.
Suddenly, a scream came from the barley pastry shop.
Everyone was shocked.
Immediately afterwards, a female family member came out, held up a piece of wrapping paper and said, "There are Liu brothers on it."
Some people looked over and found the wrapping paper. Xiang Yu stood in the middle, with the other three people surrounding him.
Under their portraits, there is also a line of words: Food is the most important thing for people, and barley is the most important pastry. Barley cakes are my favorite.
Buying a pastry is equivalent to getting a portrait of the Liu brothers. The female relatives went to buy cakes enthusiastically.
The courtiers in the tavern opposite were stunned.
Chunyu Yue saw with his own eyes a female family member, instructing the servants at home, to buy a whole carriage of cakes.
Chunyu Yue asked the doctor next to him blankly: "Can she finish eating?"
The doctors all shook their heads in confusion.
Da Qin's first batch of female fans experienced this for the first time, and they didn't know what rational consumption was. I just want to cheer up the people I like.
Li Si and others looked at each other, feeling helpless: Those women just now include the daughter of Mr. Zhao's family, the daughter of Mr. Wang's family...
Now the courtiers suddenly felt that the reason why Li Shui let women out of the house was just to make it easier for him to make money.
After the first day, the courtiers calculated that Barley's income was probably as much as 100,000 yuan.
It was getting dark, and Chunyu Yue walked toward home while muttering: "I really can't understand the world more and more."
And Jiang Yuan was even more confused. This was completely different from what he expected. How could these Liu brothers be so attractive? But...even if someone comes to buy it, how can he make pastries worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in one day?
Soon, he found out. Damai hired a craftsman from Shangjun Courtyard and worked overtime all day long.
Jiang Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief: "Those women were just impulsive. Tomorrow... it won't be like this. One hundred thousand dollars is just a fraction of ten million dollars. In the end, I'm afraid Damai will still have to pay compensation."
The next day, everyone came again.
This time they were surprised to find that the four Liu brothers no longer stood together, but stood far apart, keeping a distance from each other.
Behind each of them, there is a large silk bag with numbers on it.
Soon they figured out that the original barley pastry introduced a second type of pastry. These pastries only have a portrait of a certain person printed on them.
Some are printed with Xiang Yu, and some are printed with Xiang Xian. In short, as long as you want to buy, you can buy the specialty pastries of these four people.
If you buy Xiang Yu's cakes, you are supporting Xiang Yu and it will be counted as Xiang Yu's sales. The number behind Xiang Yu will be raised.
Some of the female relatives in Xianyang City liked Xiang Yu's handsome appearance. Some people like Xiang Xian to be tall... In short, all four of them have specific fan groups.
I don't know since when, these four people started secretly competing with each other. Fans of at least four people began to secretly compete with each other.
Some rich and wealthy people in Xianyang City began to buy cakes in large quantities in order to rank first among those they admired. And getting into fights with other people’s fans. There was chaos for a while.
The sales of barley pastries have also begun to rise sharply.
Jiang Yuan, a great businessman, was almost going crazy: "What kind of world is this? There are still people doing business like this?"
I was a magician in the Qin Dynasty
