After the last Chunan Pavilion incident, Zhao Hao became more and more curious about the things he exchanged.
Because the things he exchanged seemed to be related to the world in his previous life.
If it is a coincidence once, then several times or a dozen times will not be a coincidence, but there is some magical connection.
Whether that strange island was the island in his previous life has always been a mystery in Zhao Hao's heart.
Now Chang Wei dug up the light again, and Zhao Hao exchanged it for the light, which made him feel like he was verifying his conjecture. He was both excited and hesitant, and he didn't dare to open the box in his hand for a long time.
"Sir, please open it for us and take a look!"
"Yes, sir, open it quickly!"
Seeing Zhao Hao hesitate, Laifu and Chang Wei on the side quickly urged Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao looked at them, then at the box, hesitated for a moment, and finally took a deep breath and opened the box in his hand.
Inside the box is a small, white and translucent ball shaped like a pearl. If you sniff it gently, you can smell a light mint fragrance.
"Is this a pill?"
Laifu curiously looked at the small ball in the box and asked with a frown.
Chang Wei stretched out his hand to touch, but Zhao Hao stopped his hand: "Don't move!"
"Sir, aren't you curious about what this thing is?"
"The sachet I just exchanged for it is normal if it's an elixir. Even if it's not an elixir, smelling this fragrance can make people feel refreshed and energetic. It must be a good thing!"
"That's right." When Laifu heard Zhao Hao's words, he nodded and agreed: "Young Master is right. I just took a sniff and I feel much better!"
"this"
Chang Wei heard this, thought deeply, and then urged Zhao Hao:
"Since the first beam of light has been exchanged for such a good thing, the remaining lights must not be bad either. Young master, hurry up and give it a try!"
"good!"
Zhao Hao smiled and nodded, then closed the box and handed it to Laifu. Then he quickly walked to the second beam of light, took out the drawing in his arms, and put it into the light.
The light once again showed colorful changes, gradually disappearing, revealing a thick book "Steam Power".
Good guy!
This is good stuff!
When Zhao Hao saw "Steam Power" in his hand, his eyes suddenly opened wide with surprise on his face.
Before Laifu and Chang Wei could react, he began to read the contents of "Steam Power" by himself.
Although the working principle of a steam engine is very simple, it is still difficult to create a steam engine in this era.
And this book "Steam Power" seems to be tailor-made for this era.
It can't help but contain the working principle of the steam engine, the production process, and the various ideas of the designer. It is the perfect learning material for those who are exposed to steam engines for the first time.
As long as you study the above content carefully and integrate it, making a steam engine in this era seems to become easy all of a sudden.
"Hahaha! My train dream finally came true!"
Zhao Hao held "Steam Power" in his hand and suddenly raised his head and laughed.
Laifu and Chang Wei looked at each other and couldn't help but look at each other.
"Sir, what is the 'train dream' you just mentioned?"
Seeing Zhao Hao's face full of smiles and excitement, Laifu couldn't help but curiously asked him.
Hearing this, Zhao Hao glanced at Laifu with a smile and said, "Do you still remember the mine cart drawings I asked Zhongxian and the others to give to Fusu? The best tractor for this mine cart is not a winch, but a train. If the train can Once it is built, let’s go from Xianyang to Jiuyuan. The five-six-day journey is not a dream!”
"Ah? This"
Laifu looked surprised and couldn't help but said: "Is what the young master said true?"
"This is still fake!"
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes at Laifu and handed him the "Steam Power" in his hand: "Keep it for me first, and I will translate it for you when we get up!"
"Oh oh oh, okay!"
When Laifu heard Zhao Hao say that trains were so magical, he felt strong curiosity in his heart. He quickly took the "Steam Power" from Zhao Hao and put it in his arms.
Chang Wei, who was on the side, also showed excitement when he saw this, and urged Zhao Hao again: "Master, you exchanged two things, both of them are good things. It seems that this light is really not simple!"
"Well, it's not that simple!"
Zhao Hao nodded in approval, then suddenly thought of something, turned to the two of them and said, "Have you noticed that the things I took out are somewhat related to the things I exchanged, for example, I exchanged the sachet for the elixir, and I took the blueprint. If I exchange books for books, if I take my hair, will I exchange it for a head?"
"this"
Chang Wei and Laifu were stunned by Zhao Hao's thoughts, and subconsciously took a half step back, saying to themselves, Master, please don't make trouble.
It would be damned if a head was actually exchanged and it could still speak.
"hehe."
Seeing that Chang Wei and Laifu were frightened by him, Zhao Hao smiled slightly, waved his hands and said, "I just said it casually, don't take it seriously."
"No, sir, aren't you curious?"
"Oh? You mean to let me try?"
"No, no, I didn't!"
Chang Wei stepped back and waved his hand.
Zhao Hao was amused by his behavior.
This guy seemed to be quite courageous, but actually he was intimidated. However, Laifu next to him was relatively calm and said in a deep voice: "If what the young master took out is related to the thing exchanged, why not try the oil lamp? The young master often said Isn’t the light in the tunnel bright? Let’s see if we can exchange it for something brighter!”
"That's right! I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me!"
When Zhao Hao heard Laifu's words, he instantly remembered the pain of the world without electric lights. He slapped his thigh and said, "Chang Wei, hand me the oil lamp next to you!"
"good!"
Chang Wei responded, quickly took off the oil lamp next to him, and handed it to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao took the oil lamp, took a look at it, and without saying a word, he stretched directly into the light group in front of him. Soon, an incandescent lamp the size of a fist appeared in his hand.
"Fuck!"
Zhao Hao looked at the incandescent lamp in his hand in shock and couldn't help but curse.
He didn't expect that this light group was so powerful that it could actually be exchanged for something corresponding to it.
If this is the case, doesn't it mean that you can really exchange your hair for a head?
No, why would I want to exchange a head?
Zhao Hao was a little baffled by his own thoughts.
Of course, he would not really do such a boring thing, so he put away the incandescent lamp in his hand and prepared to exchange it for the next thing.
However, just as he approached the next beam of light, a bell suddenly rang.
"Sir, someone is coming to Chunan Pavilion!"
When Laifu heard the ringtone, he immediately judged the message it brought and reminded Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao glanced at the last two beams of light and said thoughtfully, "I just need to think about what to exchange for next, so just keep these two beams of light."
"Shall we still dig the tunnel?"
"If I ask you not to dig, will you not dig?"
"this"
Chang Wei thought for a while and said: "I will obey the master's wishes unconditionally, but Laifu will definitely feel uncomfortable."
"Ah!"
Zhao Hao snorted and said, somewhat dumbfounded; "Then don't feel wronged and come to Laifu!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Chang Wei's face was filled with excitement, and he immediately winked at Laifu.
Laifu rolled his eyes at him, was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and walked directly out of the tunnel with Zhao Hao.
Soon, Zhao Hao and his wife came to the ground, cleaned up briefly, and walked towards the living room.
Wang Wan and Han Sheng were seen sitting on the bench with solemn expressions, saying nothing.
"What happened?"
Zhao Hao stepped into the living room, waved to Laifu, indicating to him to prepare tea, and greeted Wang Wan and Wang Wan.
Wang Wan and Wang Wan quickly saluted Zhao Hao when they saw him walking into the living room.
But Wang Wan was the first to say, "Sir, your method is indeed effective. As soon as the price of our charcoal dropped, people flocked to buy charcoal. But when the people from Fushan Trading Company saw that we had lowered the price, they also lowered it. Now the price of charcoal , so low that a beggar can buy charcoal for the winter.”
"Isn't this a good thing? Every winter, a number of beggars freeze to death in the city. Although beggars affect the appearance of the city, they are still a human life. If beggars can afford charcoal to survive the winter, they will not freeze to death!"
"Having said that, what should we do with the carbon in our warehouse?"
Wang Wan sighed and said with a sad face; "The carbon that was sold before is nothing compared to the carbon in our warehouse!"
"Sir, although the current price has dropped very low, it has not yet dropped to the bottom line you told me."
Han Sheng on the side was not as anxious as Wang Wan, so he whispered a reminder to Zhao Hao.
When Zhao Hao heard this, he smiled casually: "This is also a good sign, didn't I say it? As long as the other side starts a price war with us, it will be as low as possible until someone buys the carbon!"
"But."
When Wang Wan heard Zhao Hao's words, there was no joy on her face, but she became more sad: "At the beginning, our price reduction had some effect, but as the price of charcoal became lower and lower, the effect was minimal;
Now not only can we not sell our charcoal, but their charcoal cannot be sold either. Those people seem to be waiting for the price to continue to drop! "
"If things go on like this, I'm afraid no one will buy it even if we continue to lower the price!"
"hehe."
Zhao Hao smiled lightly when he heard this.
This situation was within his expectation.
In his previous life, he had seen many such scenes.
For example, when two newly opened supermarkets offer discounts, many customers will choose to wait and see for a while.
When the two companies engage in price shopping, they will reap the benefits.
After all, you would be a fool not to take advantage of it.
It would be great if you can take advantage of it and at the same time publicize your wisdom to those who bought in advance.
Therefore, it is quite normal to wait and see.
But this wait-and-see mood, like a spring, always has a limit.
He will eventually buy in spurts according to the needs of the people and the price limit.
As for Zhao Hao, this is the time he has been waiting for.
If the carbon is sold piecemeal at the current price, the profit is only a few dollars, and there is not much loss to Toyama Commercial Bank. Then it will be meaningless for Zhao Hao to start a price war with Toyama Commercial Bank.
Only by making Toyama Trading Company put money into every pound of charcoal sold can we completely defeat them.
Although Wang Wan is the prime minister of a country and has some understanding of the economy, most of the time he plans between buying and selling. He is unfamiliar with this kind of business competition that involves profit-making from multiple transactions.
So, Zhao Hao smiled and relieved him and said: "Old Prime Minister, there is no need to worry. This situation is only temporary. We just need to keep an eye on them. If they dare to surrender, we will surrender with them!"
"How low will it be?"
Wang Wan said hesitantly.
"How low are we now?"
Zhao Hao asked casually.
Han Sheng cupped his hands and replied: "Back to you, sir, we have reduced the price to seventy cents now."
You're only seventy and can't sit still?
Sure enough, it’s still not cruel enough!
Zhao Hao looked at Wang Wan speechlessly, then touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
When the original emperor snatched the shares of Shitan from him, he wanted to make money from Shitan and subsidize the national treasury. This kind of operation was also normal.
But apart from him, not many people knew about this new material.
Therefore, the order given by the First Emperor to Wang Wan was to make money, not lose money.
If this situation continues, it will obviously lead to losing money, and Wang Wan will naturally feel heartbroken.
However, this cannot be blamed on him. After all, he has no experience in doing business and does not know how generous the ultimate benefit to the winner is from price shopping.
Shaking his head, Zhao Hao did not continue to explain to Wang Wan, but turned to Han Sheng and said: "Our prices have dropped too slowly, we need to drop more!"
"Ah? This"
Han Sheng was surprised and thought, "How slow is this?"
But I heard Wang Wan on the side say angrily: "Young master, just tell me how much the reduction will be, so that I don't feel unsure!"
"Old Prime Minister, don't be upset."
Zhao Hao smiled and comforted Wang Wan, and then stretched out a finger.
"Ten and a half taels?"
Wang Wan stood up suddenly and looked at Zhao Hao with wide eyes. He couldn't believe his eyes.
Han Sheng on the side also stood up dumbfounded, looked at Zhao Hao in a daze, and thought to himself, could the young master be crazy?
However, Zhao Hao didn't pay attention to their sword-like looks. He lightly shook his finger and said, "It's not ten and a half taels, it's one and a half taels!"
"One and a half taels!!!"
When Wang Wan and Han Sheng heard this, they shouted sharply at the same time, making Zhao Hao's scalp numb with shock.
"Young master, no!"
"Yes, sir, this is just like giving it away for free. Are we going to have a price war with them, or are we going to destroy ourselves?!"
In the minds of Wang Wan and Han Sheng, the bottom line price reduction given by Zhao Hao was extremely crazy.
Even if the shopping mall is like a battlefield, this kind of battle is suicidal.
But Zhao Hao's tone was very relaxed: "If Fushan Trading Company dares to match this price, we will lose money, and they will also lose money. It is not self-destruction!"
"What if they don't follow?"
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Wang Wan asked Zhao Hao in a hoarse voice.
Zhao Hao glanced at him and said with a half-smile: "If they don't follow, they will never want to sell charcoal in Xianyang in the future!"
"But what if they go the other way and send people to buy our carbon and sell it elsewhere to get their money back?" Han Sheng couldn't help but wiped his mouth.
"ha!"
Zhao Hao raised his head and smiled; "How can there be such a good thing!"
"As long as the price of our petroleum carbon drops to ten cents, we will start to limit the daily purchase. Whenever they organize more than ten people to buy, we will immediately arrest their people in the name of evil intentions and see how many of them consume with us. !”
"this"
Wang Wan and Han Sheng looked at each other and couldn't help but look at each other.
In fact, Zhao Hao knew the cost of charcoal well. Even if he sold it for one dollar, he would lose two or three dollars at most. However, the cost of the other party's charcoal was much higher than the cost of charcoal.
Therefore, Zhao Hao has no pressure to engage in a price war with the other party.
It’s the end of the month again, so I’m asking for monthly tickets, and I’ll start adding more tomorrow.
Please ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
