Zhu Houzhao didn't care at all when the young driver frowned and looked at him suspiciously.
While chatting with the old man, Zhu Houzhao also learned that the old man had once been the county magistrate of this indifferent county. Later, because he couldn't stand the darkness of the officialdom, he intrigued and undermined each other, and always succumbed to the warlords and Fusang people. He resigned out of cynicism due to the foreign man's power, but his son is now the chairman of the county.
Although the official salary is higher, it is a pity that the old man cannot enjoy it now. However, getting rid of the obstacles in the officialdom and landing safely seems to make the old man's body and mind relax and peaceful from the inside out. It seems that he enjoys this very much. a feeling.
When he first heard that this old man had been a county magistrate, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be excited and shocked. His eyes were filled with admiration for him, but that was all.
As for the details in the officialdom, the old man just smiled and didn't talk much. Zhu Houzhao was not a person who climbed up the dragon and followed the wind, so he didn't ask anything.
However, Zhu Houzhao still thought that it was no wonder that although the old man was kind, he always seemed to have the aura of a superior person, "Okay!" It turned out that he had been the county magistrate, so it was no wonder.
The old man saw that Zhu Houzhao's expression remained unchanged after listening to his introduction. He was still the same as he was before.
In fact, even the current Secretary-General of the League of Nations is no different from ordinary people in Zhu Houzhao's eyes.
If it were anyone else, and they suddenly discovered that someone they knew had actually been the county magistrate, and the son of the county magistrate was now the speaker, he would have been fawning over him immediately, but the young man in front of him still treated him as if he was still an ordinary person. , without the slightest excitement or abnormality, he was still asking about some situations at the exhibition exchange meeting.
After the old man’s introduction, Zhu Houzhao also learned some information about the exhibition exchange meeting. Generally, those who can enter the exhibition are rich businessmen or famous people. Not everyone can enter the exhibition, and That is to say, Zhu Houzhaozhi was able to enter the exhibition and exchange meeting, thanks to the old man's help.
The exchange venue can accommodate 3,000 people, and it is not crowded at all. It is even very free.
However, because the exhibition has too many restrictions, the people who come here are either rich or noble, so apart from the exhibition booths, the entire hall is still somewhat vacant. There is even a trial area in the middle of the venue where you can conduct on-site experiments.
The old man also asked someone to help Zhu Houzhao run a stall, but because many people's stalls were very large, Zhu Houzhao's stall could only be a small place in the corner, but this was enough for Zhu Houzhao, who originally wanted to sell There were only a few things, and he didn’t want to be too ostentatious.
When Zhu Houzhao and the old man came in, there were already many people at the exchange meeting, and many stalls were even set up. It can be seen that there are still many people interested in this exchange meeting.
The old man sent Zhu Houzhao to the stall and hurriedly went to meet his old friends. He came to this exchange meeting and wanted to buy another good magic weapon. However, he was not very familiar with this. Originally, he wanted to Zhu Houzhao helped him refer to it, but now that Zhu Houzhao wanted to do business, he could only go and have a look with his old friends first, and finally ask Zhu Houzhao for an idea.
Zhu Houzhao didn’t have much. He said it was a booth, but in fact it was just a table. His things could be taken away in his pocket. It was not like most stalls at the scene. Not only was it big, but it also had huge advertising signs. width.
Near Zhu Houzhao's stall, there are stalls for imperial bells, drums, wooden fish, Ruyi, chimes and other magical instruments. The products look dazzling, and the signs are also impressive.
What's the 'No. 1 Imperial Bell in Cangxuan', what's the 'No. 1 Drum in the World', what's wooden fish, what's wishful, what's a chime, etc. In short, all in all, the louder the sign, the more counterintuitive it is. The better the weather, the kind that won't stop talking without surprising you.
The exhibition place of this exchange meeting is upstairs in a two-story building. Going up the steps downstairs, there are dozens of stalls in a row. Zhu Houzhao's stall is almost at the end.
According to the custom of Chinese people, most of the people who go to the market go to the first floor, and few can go upstairs. Therefore, Zhu Houzhao's stall has been set up for a long time. The stalls selling miscellaneous things on the first floor are bustling with people, and those who go up to the upper floor are bustling with people. There were only a few people patronizing the magic weapon stall upstairs, and almost no people patronizing Zhu Houzhao's stall.
Zhu Houzhao estimated that the price of his small stall upstairs was not cheap. It seemed that either the old man helped him advance the money, or someone else helped him advance the money. However, there was no need for Zhu Houzhao to give the money to the old man. The gift he gave The cost of one tael of honeysuckle with some spiritual power is estimated to be an ocean.
Maybe it was too early for Zhu Houzhao and others to set up their stall, or maybe the people who really wanted to patronize the stall of magical instruments upstairs hadn't come yet.
Anyway, after an unknown amount of time, people continued to go up to the second floor. The originally empty exhibition hall upstairs immediately became lively, with various sounds mixed together, making it very lively.
The people who come here all seem to have some status. Although it is noisy, it is not noisy. Most people go straight to the stalls they are interested in, find what they want, and ask about prices, uses, etc.
Zhu Houzhao found that the stalls here sold anything for tens of dollars, and the slightly better ones easily cost hundreds of dollars. He even found a piece of workmanship that was beautiful, but of extremely poor quality, and basically had no functions. The imperial bell was sold for a thousand yuan.
Seeing these people simply mistaking money as money, and thinking that we are in troubled times now, people's livelihood is difficult, and working as a teacher is only a few dozen dollars a month, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but secretly sigh, there are still some people in this world who are very poor. There is money.
Through a spiritual scan, Zhu Houzhao discovered that the best sellers here were some amulets and magic tools to pray for wealth and health. The business was so good that it was ridiculous. Zhu Houzhao took a look at their products. Although they were beautifully made, they were of very poor quality and basically had no functions. However, the cheapest ones started at a hundred yuan, and they were still affordable.
The business of these stalls is so good, it seems that other stalls should not dare to imitate their signs, otherwise, their business will not be bad.
However, Zhu Houzhao found that there were not many real magical instruments in the stalls here. There were very few magical instruments that exuded spiritual energy. Occasionally, there were one or two, and the price was even more outrageous.
However, there are no magic weapons that emit spiritual energy, which does not mean that these magic weapons are useless. Zhu Houzhao is extremely proficient in this thing. With a glance of his consciousness, he knows that there are still some real magic weapons here, but although the workmanship is good, it is very Exquisite, but the function is really unflattering. It can be said that no magical weapon can compare with one-tenth of the effect of the dragonfly and honeysuckle in his hand.
But what disappoints Zhu Houzhao is that although his products are the best, and he has no intention of selling them for how much each, and responds to everyone with a smile, his stall has the fewest people.
Although there are many people, only a few come to his place.
"Hey, this dragonfly is quite beautiful!"
"Hey, this honeysuckle looks pretty good!"
"Do you want to buy some? If it's a fake product, I'll give it to you for free, no charge." Zhu Houzhao stood up quickly and greeted with a smile.
But they didn't even bother to ask the price, and turned away, leaving only Zhu Houzhao's back.
It's hard to do business, it's hard to do business. Zhu Houzhao's movement of waving to welcome guests stopped, and he couldn't help but beat his chest and feet, pointed at the sky and the ground, and sighed.
The poor business seems to be related to the small size of his stall, few products, and remote location. If none of these items can be sold, Zhu Houzhao may not be able to recoup his capital investment. But to say the least, he No money was invested, it was just a matter of face.
