Ding Dang, Ding Dang, Ding Dang... Ding Dang... Ding...
In the Ying Iron Mine, the sound of the mining pick hitting the stone wall came and went, echoing rhythmically in the tunnel.
Looking inside, we see foreigners sweating profusely and working hard.
After digging out the ore, the players took out a small bottle-like prop from their backpacks and dropped the "First Dew of Sakura" inside on the ore. The filthy substances covering the surface of the ore immediately receded like a tide. .
Collect the purified ore carefully as if it were a treasure, and then continue to repeat the above process until today's "First Dew of Sakura" is consumed.
After the player poured it for a long time and found that the small bottle was empty, with not a drop left, he gritted his teeth and reluctantly left the mine.
The ore itself does not have much value to the players, but everything has changed completely after the Chamber of Commerce fleet came a few days ago and set up a smelting camp.
Players only need to bring the purified ore to the camp and talk to the NPC [Miner Leader-Aguang] inside, and then they can obtain corresponding points based on the quantity and quality of the ore handed in.
Depending on the number of points, players can register with the final NPC [Zhao Jie] and upgrade their [Commissioned Forging] level step by step.
Entrusted forging, as the name suggests, means that players themselves do not have the ability to forge equipment, so entrusting it to NPCs is the latest thing Sakuragijima players have obtained, and it is also the only channel through which they can obtain equipment.
From top to bottom, there are currently three levels open.
As the level increases, players can entrust NPCs to forge higher-quality equipment, from the lowest "common" to "fine" and the highest "rare" level.
Yes, at the level of ordinary people, the ability of Zhao Jie's Chamber of Commerce to forge "rare" equipment is already considered very high. This is thanks to Zhao Jie's selfishness and bringing in a master blacksmith from the Chamber of Commerce. Because of this, the number of "rare levels" open to players is limited every day.
Of course, most of the current players, because the new camp has just been opened, generally have not even reached the most basic [Commission Qualification].
At this time, I have to mention the group of players who silently did the [Mining] task released by Vivian from the very beginning.
While other players were sharpening their guns and frantically digging in the mines in order to start the commissioned forging, they had already accumulated a lot of ore by being one step ahead, and went directly to [Aguang] to redeem points, and in the first place It's time to get the qualifications to commission forging.
There are even a small number of liver emperors who, after handing in all the ores from their livers, will directly jump up the level with the points they get, reaching a level where they can be commissioned to forge "premium" quality equipment, which is the envy of others.
"Four hundred and seventy-three thousand five hundred and seventy-two copper coins, converted into silver coins, is 4,700... After deducting each worker's daily salary of two silver coins, the total net income is... 2,600 silver coins! Conversion The gold coin is...two hundred and sixty gold!"
In the accounting room of the new chamber of commerce camp on Sakuragi Island, Zhao Jie's eyes widened as he watched himself count the smelter's water flow in less than a week, and then his mouth almost broke out in laughter.
Good guy!
This is not twice as profitable as opening a factory on Yueyuan Island! ?
Zhao Jie didn't expect these foreigners to have such a strong desire to consume, spending money without blinking an eye. Don't they have to consider their future food, clothing, housing, transportation, wives and children? All the money was really spent on forging equipment.
Just a few days of net turnover can generate nearly 300 gold. This is still in the initial stage. Zhao Jie will conduct market assessment later, and I am afraid that this number will have to increase several times in the future.
so...
Where did these strangers get so much money from?
This is indeed a question that Zhao Jie has been wondering about these days.
Usually employees like Strangers, who are classified as "adventurers" by Zhao Jie, complete commissions or collect monster materials, and then submit them to the Adventurers Association, which is responsible for transforming them. as equivalent currency.
It was not until later that Zhao Jie saw with his own eyes that the stranger could "touch" out several copper coins from the monster's corpse that he was stunned.
But correspondingly, the monster's corpse will disappear soon after.
Zhao Jie can only understand this phenomenon as that strangers generally have a secret method of refining corpses, which is similar to the alchemy of "turning stone into gold" in the legend of Guili.
Dong dong dong...
Just when Zhao Jie was still thinking about analyzing the stranger, there was a sudden knock on the door. When Zhao Jie asked someone to come in, he found that it was a worker.
"Aguang, why are you here?"
The strong man at the door looked nervous and restrained. After Zhao Jie signaled him to come into the room, the miner leader named A Guang suddenly made a plop and knelt down.
"Eh? You, what are you doing? Get up, get up, Aguang!" Fortunately, Zhao Jie had quick eyesight and quick hands. He shouted anxiously and helped him up quickly.
"Zhao, Boss Zhao... I just want to thank you, thank you... thank you for giving us such a job! And this, such a high salary!"
Ah Guang's nose felt sour, and he sobbed with a bit of a sob in his voice.
Zhao Jie quickly moved a stool for him, poured him a glass of water, and comforted him by telling him not to get excited, sit down and speak slowly.
As the big man spoke after his mood calmed down a bit, Zhao Jie finally understood A Guang's purpose.
It turned out that it was actually the daily wages for the past few days, that is, after the two silver coins were continuously distributed to the workers, the workers felt like they were in a dream.
After all, for them, two silver coins, if they had worked in an ordinary factory on Yueyuan Island, they might not be able to get this amount in a week. As a result, it was now two silver coins per day. How could the workers not be excited.
"When Boss Zhao came to Baengling Island and told us that there was an opportunity to restart work and make a lot of money, we were very excited. We knew that Boss Zhao had not forgotten us. But then, Boss Zhao, you said that the new factory We were all stunned when we wanted to drive on Sakuragi Island, because who didn’t know that Sakuragi Island is an absolutely forbidden area, and there is only a dead end if we go there.”
"But because of the turmoil in Sanfengxing, even though things are much better now, we still can't find jobs in Baengnyeong Island due to the aftershocks. Plus, Boss Zhao, you offered such a high salary, we have been Gritting their teeth, they all followed."
After Aguang said this, he paused for a few moments, and then said to Zhao Jie sincerely:
"But, just take me as an example. I came here with the mentality of risking my life in exchange for money for my family. I have no hope that Boss Zhao will really be able to offer you such a salary when the time comes. I believe that other workers will also be able to offer you such a salary." That’s what they all think, because it’s such a fantasy.”
"But after these few days, when I actually arrived and started work, I discovered that Sakuragi Island is scary, yes, but it is indeed as Boss Zhao assured us, there is no danger at all! In fact, I work in other places every day it's the same!"
"And this salary...the salary is really given to us exactly!"
"I just thought, how can such a good thing happen in the world and such a good boss! So not only me, but also on behalf of all our workers, I want to express my gratitude to Boss Zhao for giving us this opportunity! "
Aguang was about to kneel down again as he spoke, but Zhao Jie quickly stopped him. He first corrected Aguang's mistake. It is true that there are some evil bosses who will cheat and exploit employees, but it is definitely not him, Zhao Jie.
Zhao Jie hoped that Aguang would not have such thoughts in the future, and also used the example of the education he often gave his daughter when she was young.
Zhao Jie once told Xing'er that businessmen can pursue profits, but they must use legitimate and legal means. In addition, the greater the profit, the more it must be based on benefiting the people.
If Myolie wants to go into business one day and follow the same path as her father, she must remember that wealth is created by "creation", not by "plunder" and "exploitation".
As a father, he naturally has to set an example for his daughter. Otherwise, how can he have the dignity to educate his daughter?
after.
Zhao Jie waved his hand to A Guang and mentioned the second point. The person A Guang really wanted to thank was not himself, but the fox-faced witch.
He originally wanted to mention Liao Zixuan, but after thinking about the special nature of his son-in-law, he decided to bring up Vivian who was on the "clear side".
Zhao Jie told A Guang that whether it was the current safety conditions of Sakuragi Island or this opportunity, it was the fox-faced witch who played a major role, and he, Zhao Jie, was just a support.
"Understood, I understand, Boss Zhao, that miko. Although she wears a fox mask, it's a bit... scary, but we have all adapted to it now. Can you believe that someone as noble as the miko actually gave it back to us miners?" They delivered water and asked about our health. This is something we would never dare to think of in any shrine!"
"I knew from that moment that this lady witch must be just like the lady Vivian who came to our village. They are both excellent people!"
Zhao Jie was suddenly stunned as he listened.
"Huh? Lady Vivian?"
Seeing that the boss seemed very interested in the name, Aguang hurriedly explained:
"Yes, Boss Zhao, do you still remember that under the leadership of the society, there was a witch candidate named "Qiuno" who used a gimmick to sell her inferior products. Many young people in the village were addicted to it, and as a result, many young people in the village appeared one after another. You have a strange physical illness and you’re bedridden, right?”
"We won't know the specific details when the storm subsides later, but fortunately, Dazu Fengsheng finally banned it. But after that, the bad guys were caught, and they thought the problem was solved. As a result, we were not able to follow up. Don't ask."
"Later, an adult named Vivian came to our village and said that fortunately, her memory was correct and her location was correct. Then she cured all our villagers who had strange diseases one by one. Among them...including my incompetent brother! That's why I still remember it so freshly, but unfortunately...when we wanted to repay that adult, she was gone."
Aguang lowered his head as he spoke, his face full of shame and regret. They did not repay such a great kindness. Aguang and the people in the village were very worried about this.
On the other side, Zhao Jie on the opposite side was a bit dumbfounded by this. He lamented the magic of fate and felt a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart.
Feeling powerless towards Vivian.
This little girl is really, even if Zhao Jieming knew that she would be a strong competitor for his daughter, he couldn't bring up the slightest bit of hostility and could only sigh with emotion.
After so many years in Qiandao, Zhao Jie also understands the work style of Qiandao officials. It may be influenced by the "closed door" water god. As a result, even if Qiandao officials are not corrupt and are doing business, they can only do " Anything that goes beyond "one's duty" will not be ignored.
As Aguang said, although Zhao Jie was not present, he could still imagine that Qiandao officials must have thought that it would be enough to seize harmful products. As for the villagers who were bedridden because of the food, it was none of their business. ? No one wants to clean up this mess.
Most of the big shots at the top would not notice this "little thing". But from Aguang's words, Zhao Jie knew that Vivian not only solved the problem from the root, but was even so careful that even such "little things" were ignored. "They are all in my heart and have not been forgotten.
"It's okay Aguang, I remember that you Qiandao people believe in fate the most, so yes, although you may feel that you can't repay your kindness now, under fate, you may have inadvertently repaid your original kindness. Woolen cloth?"
"What...what do you mean, Boss Zhao, I'm stupid and I don't quite understand..." Aguang scratched his head in confusion.
"What I mean is, go ahead and work hard! If you want to repay a favor, you must have capital. Isn't now a good time to accumulate capital to repay a favor!"
"That makes sense, boss! I'll go back to work for another three hours!"
Looking at Aguang's back as he was about to run out excitedly, Zhao Jie covered his face speechlessly, shouted back in a hurry, and gave him a severe scolding. The body is the first priority. Don't show off, and you will be better off if you take a good rest. Work.
"Hey...hehe, ah, I almost forgot. In fact, I came to see the boss, and, uh...and..." A Guang suddenly became embarrassed.
After being glared at by Zhao Jie, A Guangcai said quickly:
"Boss Zhao, do you think you can... take my brother over and let him work here with me? Not only my brother, but also many people in the village did not come because they were afraid of Sakuragi Island, but If they knew what was actually going on..."
A Guang didn't say anything further, but the meaning was already obvious.
Zhao Jie certainly couldn't give a reply to such a big matter, so he could only promise A Guang that if he really wanted to add new workers, he would call his brother.
After sending away A Guang, who was full of joy and thanked him repeatedly, Zhao Jie fell into deep thought in the tent.
In fact, he is also considering expanding manpower and increasing scale.
After all, the combination of fanatical consumption consciousness, stable per capita income, and large and growing base allowed Zhao Jie to see endless business opportunities in the strangers.
Zhao Jie believed that if the foreigners had not appeared for a short time and the news was blocked, other businessmen would definitely flock to Sakuragi Island, trying to get a piece of the pie even if they broke their heads.
After all, in front of such a high-quality consumer group, no businessman can resist such temptation, and in the face of huge interests, not to mention that Sakuragi Island still has an absolutely safe safe zone. Even if there is not, Zhao Jie asked himself , even he couldn't resist the temptation to do business, let alone other businessmen.
The current self relies on his relationship with Liao Zixuan, so he is the first to reap the dividends of this cake, but Zhao Jie knows that the future of Sakuragi Island is unlimited. After Vivian and the others solve the "curse" problem, Countless businessmen are bound to flock here, that is, more and more people will come to share this piece of cake, and there will definitely be some business giants among them.
Even if his son-in-law continues to take care of him, his Zhao Chamber of Commerce must have corresponding strength.
So what he should do most now is to increase his size as much as possible and occupy his share of the cake while he still has the first-mover advantage!
This is an opportunity!
His Zhao Chamber of Commerce, his opportunity for Zhao Jie to rise!
Wife...and Myolie! Wait a minute...your father will soon be able to stand up again and return to his hometown in glory! When the time comes, I must buy the biggest house, the best clothes, and the most beautiful rouge for my daughter and wife to make up for the debt they have incurred over the years!
Dreaming about the beauty in the future, Zhao Jie clenched his fists, and his eyes once again ignited the fighting spirit and fighting spirit of his youth.
But what he didn't know was.
Meanwhile on the other side.
The "Armed Fleet" Northern Cross sailed from Guili to Yueyuan Island. After nearly a month of sailing, it finally docked quietly in the darkness tonight...
