After Zhangsun and his party arrived at Lieyang City Airport, they were picked up by someone from the college. After returning to the college, the dean met with a few people, mainly Tang Yuyan, Siqin, and Lu Xiaoran. The forces behind them were not small, and this time The matter of Lin Yue'er's identity is too sensitive.
After the dean learned about the situation, he expressed some condolences and specifically told several people that this matter must be kept confidential.
After several people left the dean, they returned to their dormitories.
The eldest grandson couldn't wait to leave Qingteng and rushed to Wanyuan Trading Company.
After Changsun left for more than half a month, Wanyuan Trading Company's business has improved somewhat, but it still seems a bit deserted compared to several surrounding shops.
As soon as the eldest grandson entered the door, he saw Wan Qian, who was lying weakly on the counter, and Chu Li, who was busy in the store.
"Chu Li, stop working." Wan Qian said listlessly.
"It's okay, Brother Wan, I'm not tired." Chu Li said.
"No, Chu Li, you're making me feel flustered by your wandering back and forth." Wan Wanqian said.
"Then you go to the backyard to have a rest. There aren't many guests anyway, so I can just keep an eye on it. My brother told me when he left, and I have to be more diligent when living in a trading house." Chu Li said, with a few words on his hands. Didn't stop.
"Don't mention your brother. I get angry when he mentions it. When the store opened, he disappeared and he didn't show up for days." Wan Wanqian complained.
"Brother Wan, don't be angry. Didn't my brother tell you when he left? There will be assessments in the academy and he will be back in a few days." Chu Li looked at Wan Qian.
"In a few days, in a few days, how many days have passed... Forget it, let's not mention it." Wan Wanqian was about to get angry, but turned around and looked at Chu Li, and finally suppressed his anger.
"Brother Wan, the business in the store seems not to be very good." Changsun walked into the store.
"Changsun! You still have the nerve to say that business is not good, let me tell you..."
"Brother!" Wan Qian was about to grab his eldest grandson and vent his anger, but before he could finish speaking, he was pushed aside by Chu Li behind him.
Chu Li excitedly rushed into the arms of the eldest grandson. The eldest grandson hugged Chu Li, then held Chu Li in front of his eyes and looked him over. He nodded and said, "Well, our Chu Li has become beautiful again, a little fatter, and looks very good." Big brother didn’t abuse you.”
Chu Li looked at his eldest grandson and said with a silly smile, "Brother Wan is so kind to me."
The eldest grandson also smiled happily and looked at Wan Qian.
Wanwanqian was still angry with Changsun, so he turned away and didn't want to talk to Changsun.
The eldest grandson asked Chu Li to go back to the backyard to rest first, while he sat in front of Wan Qian and said, "Brother Wan, how is the business in the store these days?"
"I'm blind, I can't see." Brother Wan said angrily.
The eldest grandson said with a smile: "The business in the store has not improved, what's going on?"
"Humph, you still know how to take care of the store's business." Wan Wanqian snorted coldly.
"Brother Wan, I came back to the college this time and rushed to the store to apologize to you before even returning to my dormitory..." Changsun said.
"Dede, you are in a hurry to see Chu Li, why don't I know about you?" Wan Wanqian interrupted, but his anger was obviously gone.
Seeing that Wan Wan Qian's face was no longer so ugly, the eldest grandson began to get to the point, "The store's business has always been like this? Is it a problem with the weapons?"
"There is nothing wrong with the weapons forged by Senior Tieta, but in the past few years, my shop has been severely squeezed out by several surrounding shops, and most of its customers have been taken away. During this period, the shop has been able to maintain its existence only by relying on a few of my old customers. ." Wan Wanqian said.
The eldest grandson nodded and had already vaguely noticed it before entering the store.
Wanwanqian said helplessly: "Changsun, what do you want to do? Now, the things forged by Senior Iron Tower are good, but no one can see them. If it doesn't work, I can only use the previous method to go to Yelin City to sell them." ”
After Changsun was silent for a moment, he said: "You still have to sell, but you have to change the goal and the method."
"Change the target?" Wan Wanqian was confused.
"Well, you were targeting the secret attendants in the competition. This is true, but if we want our weapons to attract more people's attention, these secret attendants alone are not enough." Changsun said.
"Who else are you promoting to?"
"The audience sitting below." Changsun said.
"The audience below? I've thought about this too, but first of all, there are only a few warriors in the audience, so those who need our weapons are also a minority. Secondly, I can't sell to the audience one by one," Wan Qian denied. .
Changsun nodded and said, "So our weapons also need to make some changes."
After finishing speaking, Changsun's eyes lit up, and he stood up and left the store, leaving behind a message: "I will come back to the store tomorrow. Please tell Brother Tieta and Chu Li for me."
"Hey, you haven't finished speaking yet..." Wan Wanqian shouted, but the eldest grandson had already ran out without looking back.
The next day, Changsun rushed into the store in a hurry. Wanwanqian, who was sitting behind the counter, shouted: "Hey, what did you do yesterday? You lit the cannon and ran away without looking back..."
But the eldest grandson still ignored him this time and walked straight to the backyard.
The eldest grandson found the iron tower where iron was being forged, took out a drawing, and said, "Brother, look at this drawing."
Tie Ta put down the hammer and took the blueprint handed over by Zhang Sun in his hand.
Wan Wan Qian followed and came closer.
The drawing that Changsun handed to the Iron Tower had a sword drawn on it. It was the design drawing that he spent all night rushing to make yesterday.
After looking at it, Tie Ta frowned.
Wanwanqian said: "This sword looks good overall, but I am a little confused. What is the lightning on the spine of your sword?"
Changsun said: "I want to embed the spiritual stone in this place."
Wanwanqian touched his chin and thought: "It's okay to embed spiritual stones, but you have to embed a lot of spiritual stones, and if you want to make the spiritual stones into the shape of lightning, there will be a lot of losses. The cost is too high.”
Embedding spiritual stones in weapons is also a common casting method. Such weapons can make up for the warrior's lack of true energy to a certain extent, but the cost is very high, because if the spiritual stones are damaged when embedded, they will Will cause the dissipation of spiritual energy.
Changsun shook his head and said: "What I want to embed is a spiritual stone without spiritual energy."
"A spiritual stone without spiritual energy is just a stone." Wan Qian said with wide eyes, while also picking up a spiritual stone from the ground that had exhausted its spiritual energy.
Changsun took the spirit stone and after injecting the true energy into it, the spirit stone immediately lit up.
Changsun's eyes lit up and he looked at Wan Qian.
And Wan Wanqian also looked at Zhangsun with an expression of "What next?"
Changsun put down the spirit stone and said, "What do you think would happen if this sword was embedded with spirit stones, and after the true energy was injected into it, a light would shine on the sword?" Changsun tried to enlighten Wan Qian.
"It will expose the position, which is not conducive to fighting." Tie Ta said expressionlessly.
Changsun said helplessly: "Don't this look cool?"
"Then, is it just cool?" Wan Wanqian asked.
"Okay, Brother Wan, let me ask you, you grew up in Artisan Alley, have you noticed the changes in Artisan Alley over the years?" Changsun asked.
"Changes in Craftsman Alley? They are all old shops, and the old streets have not changed much. It is just that the business is not as good as every year, and there are fewer customers." Wan Wanqian said, and when he said "the business is not as good as every year", he meant that the whole Tiaojianggongxiang is not just his Wanyuan Trading Company.
The eldest grandson nodded and continued: "Jianggong Alley is not far from Taihua Street and Yuehua Street. Have you paid attention to the changes in these two streets?"
Wanwanqian thought about it and said: "When I was a child, Taihua Street was not as prosperous as it is now. Today's Taihua Street is truly full of jewels. I haven't been there for many years and can't afford to go shopping. As for Yuehua Street, hehe... business is always booming... Wait, Zhangsun, are you trying to trick me? I have never been to Yuehua Street."
The eldest grandson did not answer him, but said seriously: "I have been shopping in Taihua Street and Yuehua Street in the past six months. I have carefully observed that most of the customers are children of aristocratic families. The characteristics of this part of the customers Yes, they have money, although their martial arts are not high, and many are not even warriors, but they spend money generously and love some gorgeous-looking products. These products can make them look gorgeous and rich, which makes them very popular."
Changsun paused and continued: "The other customers are young mercenaries. The characteristics of these customers are also unambiguous in spending money, but their vision in selecting goods is higher than that of the previous customers. They pay attention to the connotation and content of the goods. Practicality, but still can’t escape the gorgeous appearance of some products. If the first type of customers were not originally the customers you liked in Craftsman Alley, then the second type of customers should have been regular visitors to your Craftsman Alley, but now they are attracted by this Two streets snatched.”
Wanwan Qian had never observed this phenomenon before and said, "A romantic place like Yuehua Street is a place where rich kids and mercenaries like to go. Since Taihua Street is adjacent to Yuehua Street, business will naturally increase."
"You're right. Part of the reason why Taihua Street's business is booming is because of the influence of Yuehua Street. Take a look at what makes money in Taihua Street today. What are the most popular stores? Silver shops that sell jewelry. A silk and satin shop that sells clothing. What does this mean?" Changsun asked.
"What does it mean?" Wan Wanqian looked at Zhangsun.
"It shows that everyone has money, lives a prosperous life, and starts to pay attention to appearance." Changsun said.
Wan Qian is thoughtful.
"Also, your promotion in Yelin City is a good idea, but what if we target the audience. Most of these audiences come to Yelin City to seek excitement. Think about it if our The sword suddenly appeared on the ring, like a bolt from the blue, striking a bolt of lightning on the ring, what effect would it have?" Changsun asked.
"It's going to be hot."
"Then what would they do if they knew that as long as they had this sword, they could achieve such an effect?" Changsun then asked.
"They will rush to buy...and we can make money..." Wanwanqian was a little sluggish, and her eyes lit up as she spoke.
"Fashionable." Iron Tower said without any disturbance.
Changsun didn't care and said: "The group our sword is aimed at is the ordinary people. They don't usually use it to fight, but it can attract people's attention with its cool appearance."
Wanwanqian understood what Changsun meant. Changsun said so much because he wanted to tell him that the consumption power of people in Lieyang City was improving, and the criteria for selecting goods were no longer limited to practicality and value for money, but Slowly turning to commodities can create more ancillary value for them.
Wanwanqian looked at his eldest grandson, and it seemed that he was right to choose to cooperate with this boy.
