The Ring: Sell Dung Beetles in Junction

Chapter 383 High-end business war

The old wandering merchants were not used to using the convenient projection magic, and Wuming could not rely on the disc to lock them.

Wuming first went to the camp to search, wanting to ask the employees if they knew about their boss's movements.

But in the end, they found nothing. Wuming discovered that the employees in the caravan were very busy, which also left them with almost no extra free time to wander elsewhere, and no energy to pay attention to other people's affairs.

Everyone's attention seems to be taken away by the work at hand, and they are slow to respond to other things, let alone notice where their boss is.

The only thing I know is that the two wandering businessmen have gained respect and influence in many businesses based on their qualifications and achievements, so they may move around in various places.

However, influential people will naturally gain more attention. As long as Wuming goes all the way, he will definitely be able to find them.

Along the way, Wuming observed the profound changes taking place in the lake area.

One obvious change is that it is indeed more dynamic here.People were rushing a little faster, and everyone was running enthusiastically for their livelihood.

Although his expression could not hide his tiredness.

Around Rhea Lucalia College, a lot of land has been circled and houses are being built, and some areas have even been built.

It was just an ordinary cabin, simple, even drafty, narrow and rough.But the selling price of the house is so high that Wuming is astonished.

What makes Wuming even more puzzled is that the supply of these houses exceeds the demand.

Wuming asked these people where they got so much money, and the result was that they didn't have that much money.

In order to buy houses here, many people borrow funds from caravans and take on debt.

"Why?" Wuming didn't understand, "You have to borrow money to buy such an expensive house here?"

"This is close to the Magic Academy." People said, "You don't know that the Magic Academy has ended its centuries-long isolation and has reopened its enrollment. In the Lake District, magician is the most noble profession, and even the powerful are eager to enter."

Wuming said: "Can you enter the magic academy if you live nearby? Doesn't it depend on qualifications?"

"After the academy is unblocked, magic masters will come in and out more frequently." People explained, "If we are lucky and are selected as apprentices, we will have the opportunity to enter the academy."

There are also people holding newborn babies:
"If you bring your children to live here, you will have a better chance of entering the academy in the future. That's what those businessmen say: You can't let your children lose at the starting line."

"Can't you learn through the projection disk?" Wuming asked tentatively, "Patch Caravan, there should be free magic and prayer teaching, right?"

"But it is for everyone after all. Some people are not suitable for self-study. They have to be introduced by a teacher to learn." The parent said, "Realucalia Academy has the strongest teaching staff, and we are not like Ka A nobleman like Leah has private tutoring.”

"For this, you are even willing to bear a heavy debt?" the golden lion head asked in a muffled voice.

"This is called investing in the future." People were mumbling words they didn't know where they heard it from. "And if you don't seize this position, someone else will take it. Living here will always be better than living over there in Laska. Have the opportunity."

Wuming said: "I never thought about it. What if I don't enter the academy in the end? Isn't it a loss of blood?"

"Then don't worry." People are confident, "If there is really no hope, we can sell this house again. Demand exceeds supply here, and houses will become more and more expensive. We only need to pay a small part of the interest." "

And the businessman received huge interest...

Wuming thought to himself, and he probably understood why the two old businessmen had the confidence to compete with him.

They have already wiped out many people's runes for the next few years.If they can overdraw these runes in advance, they can accumulate a huge amount of wealth even if they only work for a short time.

"But the time is still too short."

Wuming was glad that he came here earlier. From the current point of view, as long as these situations are contained, it is still controllable.

After all, there are only two of them.

The disc in his hand rang, and a big golden head flashed out - there was news from Patch.

"Have you found Rom?" Wuming asked.

"I asked him where he was. He's in the theater," Patch said.

"theater?"

"It is said that they are preparing to launch several new idols to seize our market." Patch said, "The main focus is offline, just like the former fecal eaters, and they can also occupy online, which will directly affect our Yatan. market."

"Too arrogant." Wuming was furious, "Only we can exploit Mikaela!"

Michaela, who was far away in Asia, was broadcasting live when she suddenly sneezed. She quickly apologized to the audience in embarrassment and was greeted with ecstasy by the audience.

Unable to withstand the cheers of the audience, and as the broadcast was about to end, Michaela turned off the live broadcast.

He raised the projection disk and watched the internal communication among the caravan employees.

The passage to the snow-capped mountains is progressing slowly, with nameless employees working only four hours a day. But when we get to the snow-capped mountains, I don’t know if it’s because of the cold, but people are always sleepy and unable to get up. They are sealed in bed every day, and there seems to be a strong bond. The world interferes with their getting up.

As a result, the Kaidan mercenaries on the construction site became supervisors. They carried whips every day, went door to door, pulled quilts, and gave dramatic shouts to the workers:

"Don't fall asleep. If you fall asleep, you won't be able to wake up! Wake up!"

This kind of scene happens every day, and the progress will naturally not be accelerated.

Melina also saw this slow progress and became increasingly anxious. She would occasionally look to Michaela to relieve her mood.

"You haven't found the king yet, why are you in such a hurry to go to the snow mountain?" Michaela comforted Melina.

"Anyway, there will be no results if we procrastinate any longer." Melina said, "It's better to light the flames first."

"Well..." Michaela said, "Are you confident about the future of the world now?"

Melina said: "According to Wuming's saying, you must believe in the wisdom of future generations."

"What a free and easy thought." Michaela held her chin and glanced at Melina, "By the way, you know, I heard that epilepsy has revived again. Epilepsy has been spreading recently."

"How is that possible?" Melina frowned.

"Chapolini, the source of epilepsy, is causing trouble." Michaela smiled, "But future generations will definitely be able to defeat madness."

"Crowds can't defeat madness..." Melina murmured.

Michaela smiled: "Why not? Maybe Lani's idea is correct. Let people think for themselves. There is no need for gods to guide them."

"But guidance is always there, the difference is only in whose hands it is." Melina said, "If people are born to know how to obey, then obedience is human nature. If they learn it later, then the current world is the result of their choices. It’s crazy and needs to be actively curbed.”

Melina drew out her short knife: "I'm going to find the guy who spreads epilepsy."

Michaela held her chin and looked at Melina's retreating figure: "Crazy..."

=========
"We are in trouble now. It's not just the two businessmen who are in trouble. From my observation, many people are going crazy."

Wuming walked to the theater. On the way, Pachi told Wuming about his findings.

"Many people fell into madness?" Wuming said, "They suffered from epilepsy?"

"It's not that crazy." Patch said, "I heard the news about Rom from my employer, who is also a businessman."

"I don't remember ever hiring such a fat subordinate." Wuming said, "He was so fat that he was dripping with fat. If it were in my previous world, I would have liked such a guy very much."

"You didn't hire him," Patch said.

"Is that what Brainis and the others hired?"

"They have been around for a long time." Patch said. "Seeing how profitable it is, and with you as an example, people will naturally want to get a share of the pie. Unlike Yatan, no one dares to do business except you. Lake District wants to You are much more open-minded. Even Kalia himself is encouraging the development of multiple caravans, and they are also afraid that your family will become dominant."

Patch said: "By the way, there are also some wandering businessmen who originally followed us, but they resigned and joined them, about [-]% of them."

"Is it because of debt?" Wuming asked.

"Not only that, as juniors, some want to follow the footsteps of their ancestors, while others are simply... persuaded." Patch said.

Patch said: "In short, these merchants are independent in status and on the same level as us. But they are now closely related to the wandering merchants and share a lot of... experience and technology."

"Experience and technology?"

"That's the method that can quickly increase their income." Patch said, "It's normal for them to be ambitious. After all, the profits are too big. In such a short period of time, they have captured more Runes than in the late war. Those small families are in decline. And if they don’t do this and others do, their living space will be squeezed. Their ambition and desire for Rune, and their fear of threats to survival, make them desperate to expand.”

"The wildfire is already burning," Patch concluded, "and simply stopping those two wandering traders is not going to stop this transformation."

"Well..." Wuming didn't comment, "Then we have to find those two white-eyed wolves first."

During the conversation, Wuming was already standing outside the theater.

This is a simple theater. Although there is a fee to enter, the wall is only made of simple fishing nets. Many people are outside the wall, enjoying the good show in front of them.

What is being performed in the theater is a play about the current King of Elden, Radagon, who led an army to attack Lienia, but was beaten until he cried for his father and mother. He had to bow down, make peace with the full moon, and take the initiative to end the war. .He also hooked up with Queen Malika, and for a long time he was greedy for the title and salary. He did not miss his wife, and he was always in trouble with the Queen of the Moon and finally abandoned her, causing the Queen of the Moon to shed tears.

The play did not have a happy ending, and ended with the Queen of the Full Moon leaving sadly.The audience was gnashing their teeth and glaring at the Radagan actor, wishing they could eat his flesh alive.

Wuming had heard Old Turtle Milie tell this past story, and knew that many plots in the drama had been exaggerated, trying their best to vilify Radagan's image.

The plot is extremely provocative, and viewers who have watched it will probably arouse hatred towards King Radhagaon and the Golden Dynasty of Yadan.

Wuming also found Rom in the audience. He was not sitting in the VIP seats, but mixed with many ordinary people. If the clothes were not really bright and strange, Wuming would have been hard to find.

Roma, like the rest of the audience, was watching attentively, but his posture was more upright, almost upright, and his hazy eyes were fixed on Radagan on the stage.It wasn't until the show was over that he shook his body and prepared to stand up.

Rom turned around and saw a heroic lion head appearing in front of him.

He was stunned for a moment, but quickly recognized it and relaxed his tense body:

"Unknown boss."

"You are really good at recognizing people." Wuming said.

"You have a special temperament about you," Rom said. "We do business and know how to recognize people."

"You guys really know how to do business." Wuming snorted, "What on earth are you going to do?"

"As you can see, do what businessmen are supposed to do," Rohm said. "Make money."

Wuming can't be wrong, they are just making money.

Rom said: "Unknown Boss, this is also helping you."

"Help me?" Wuming asked.

Rom looked at the lively crowd leaving the venue in the distance: "Even those unscrupulous businessmen, after mastering the correct business laws, can quickly rival the lords of small countries. You have a greater advantage, as long as your employees have it every day If you work a few more hours, your income will more than double. All the Runes in the world are at your disposal."

Wuming looked at Rom and smiled.Then he slapped Rom down, dragged him to the ground by his neck, and went to meet Patch.

Roma also had bodyguards. When the bodyguards saw their employer being attacked, they rushed to the rescue.

Wuming was not polite to them. He held Rom in one hand and slapped him with the other.

Come and take a picture of one person, and take a picture of a pair of two people.No matter how many people came, they would all be slapped to the ground without a second blow.

"Who are you?" Everyone was stunned by the knight who appeared out of nowhere.

Wuming wore a leather jacket and said his name loudly without any scruples:
"My name is Onstein!"

After announcing his name, he ran away, shook off the horse with his feet, and disappeared from people's sight.

Pachi also tried his best to sneak away and meet up with Wuming.

The two then headed to Nimgofu.

Nimgofu suffered the least losses during the war. In addition, Neferi took over very early and put down the civil strife in the territory early. With the help of Hyde, the environment was better than that of the Lake District. It has always been a richer area.

Wuming's original camp was also here. As the real base camp, Wuming built many large factories here.

The forging of the bronze snake was carried out here.

But when Wuming walked out of the portal and saw this place that was supposed to be the richest place, he was shocked.

Near the Ailei Church, a crowd of people were sitting, most of them in ragged clothes, with some dark mud on their faces.

These people usually sit quietly on the ground without saying a word. When Wuming arrives, they all stand up and rush to Wuming.

If these people weren't unarmed, Wuming would have thought that this was not the Ailei Church, but a church filled with living corpses and a dancing preacher.

People flocked to Wuming and asked enthusiastically: "Boss, do you need workers? We can do anything."

Thanks to Patch's scary armor, the two of them got out of the crowd.It was also a place that was turned upside down by wandering traders. The changes in Ningmu Gefu were much greater than those in the Lake District.Wuming saw it at first sight.

This was simply Nimgefu. The businessman who stayed at the Ailei Church was very capable and told Wuming what Brynis had done without Wuming's probing.

=========
Nimgefu, those small lords who once rebelled against Neferi have now surrendered, but the benevolent King Neferi has not completely deprived them of everything. Although they can no longer keep the army, they still own the land and servants. , and there is no shortage of people.

On their territory, factories were now built one after another, and carriages were constantly coming in and out.

Brainis was also on the lord's land, introducing a luxurious dress to a dignitary.

The elegant gold thread patterns on the clothing form the family coat of arms of the powerful, and the complex decorative patterns are densely covered throughout the clothes.

Brynis said: "This is made by ten beautiful beauties who worked hard day and night to sew it for you. It only took more than three thousand man-hours. Even King Elden's costumes are not as good as it." Luxury. It's a symbol of your power, a symbol of status."

The powerful man said: "Two million runes for a piece of clothing? This is much more expensive than the armor of a demigod."

"And you can afford the price." Brynis said, with a hint of flattery in his faint smile,
"Because you control thousands of laborers. This dress means your financial resources, your status, and your control over thousands of people and tens of millions of runes. The biggest difference from ordinary clothes is that It's that it's 'different'. Unique clothing means... power."

The gems on the clothing refracted the light, reflected in the eyes of the powerful, and stole his mind.

After a while, Brainis took Rune and his servants out of the powerful manor.

He still has many tasks today.

For example, going to meet the former owner of the manor behind you, or going to the market to collect rental fees.

Entering the market and chatting and laughing with the powerful, Brynis remained equal and gentle to the large number of civilians gathered here.

The pretty maid, wearing a nice new dress, met Brynis and said hello to him.

"This outfit really suits you very well." Brynis praised the maid's clothes. "This style is the same as the most popular style in Stone City. The craftsmanship and materials are consistent with those of the powerful. The gems on it are the same as those worn by Queen Neferi. The same batch of gems came out of the mine."

Brynis untied the maid's collar: "If you dress up more beautifully, the lord will appreciate you and give you a more generous salary. At that time, you can pay back the runes you owe me for this dress." On."

The maid rejoiced and danced for Brynis.

Brainis was smiling and admiring it when a man jumped in front of him.

The person who came had a stubble on his face and hesitated:
"Mr. Brynis, this... is a little money I raised. It's only enough to repay the interest. Please give me a few days' grace..."

Brainiste helped him get up:
“There are always people who are bad at running things, and it’s not your fault.”

The man's eyes lit up: "Are you willing to extend my grace for a few more days?"

"Are you confident that your store's revenue will improve in a few days?" Blainis asked.

The man murmured, not knowing how to answer.

Brainis patted the dust on the man's shoulder: "How about this, you sell me your winery."

"That's my ancestral home..."

"Horses are not good at swimming, and hounds' hair is not suitable for making clothes." Blaineth said, "You are indeed not good at business, but you still have good strength. Why don't you come to work in my factory? Although it is not as good as you The dream life is so good, but it is worse than stability. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will soon make enough money to redeem the house."

The man gave in, and Brynis went to the man's elite winery and picked up a bottle of wine and the title deed.Congratulations to the man for his early success.

Then Brynis took the bottle of wine and slowly headed to his factory.

Blainis took a sip of the bottle of wine and nodded in praise: "It's a good wine, but it's a pity that he really doesn't know how to manage it."

In front of the factory, many workers live in rows of wooden houses. In order to save a few miles and relieve some fatigue, everyone is willing to live near the factory, even if the air here is not good.

It was already dark at this time, and a large number of workers returned to the dormitories and slept soundly.But the factory did not stop working, and the workers in charge of the night shift were still working hard.

But there are exceptions. In front of the wooden door of the dormitory, a man in shabby clothes is leaning in front of the door, staring at the golden tree in the distance.

The eyes that reflected the golden tree were already a little more hazy.

Brainis approached and greeted him:

"Hello, sir."

The man looked at Brainis stiffly.

Brainis continued: "I went to your old manor today. It has been inherited by a good family. It has not insulted your former reputation."

The man said nothing. He stared at Brynis and suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the bottle of wine in his hand:
"how much is it?"

"This is a good wine, but to celebrate the opening of my winery and to show my respect for you - one hundred runes will be enough."

The man fumbled around in his pocket for a while and pulled out a dim rune.

"Are you sure you want to buy it?" Brynis said. "If you save money, you can pay off your debt sooner."

"Stop talking nonsense and bring it here." The man glared at Brynis.

Brainis handed over the wine and took away the man's one hundred runes.

The man poured the wine down his throat, his eyes blurred, and finally staggered into the room and fell asleep.

"It's great to be young." Brynis praised the man's speed in falling asleep.

"You don't refuse anyone who comes, and you make money from everyone."

Behind Brainis, there was a voice. The voice came from the metal, with echoes and clang.

Brainis smiled and turned around:

"Unknown boss, welcome."

Brainis glanced at Rom in Wuming's hands and Patch beside him, and continued to smile at Wuming:

"Unknown boss, are you here to thank me?"

Wuming said: "Thank you? Thank you for stuffing a bunch of refugees at the door of my factory?"

"Refugees?" Brynis shook his head, "Those are not refugees, they are a group of healthy and intelligent labor force."

"Then why don't you use it?"

Blainis said: "Unknown Boss, your understanding of business needs to go further. It's not that I don't use them, but it's just that the right time hasn't come yet."

Brainis pointed to the factory ahead:
“Have you ever visited my factory?”

"I saw a few on the way here." Wuming said, "You have the ability to make anything."

"To make things, you need tools." Blainis said, "Tools will continue to be upgraded, but factories cannot be upgraded rashly, and skilled workers must also adapt again. At this time, these people will be needed - they are prepared labor force, It’s the redundancy necessary to maintain this wonderful cycle.”

Patch was amused: "For the border area, your theory is indeed sharp."

"A wonderful cycle?" Wuming said, "I saw several epileptic patients along the way."

"This is labor pain." Brynis said, "Growth requires such labor pain. I know you are embarrassed to do this, so I will do it for you. Of course, there will be some mistakes in my calculations and errors in the research. This is inevitable. , which is why redundancy needs to exist.”

"Studying calculations?" Wuming said, "You just study how to create trouble for me, right?"

"Don't be in a hurry to condemn me, Boss Wuming. You need to know that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other." Brynis comforted Wuming calmly.

"I'm studying the Golden People." Blainis said: "The Golden People are a very magical nation. Unnamed boss, do you know what the value of workers depends on?"

Wuming raised his eyebrows: "It depends on how many times your conscience has been chewed by dogs?"

"It depends on their survival cost." Brynis said, "As long as workers can bring you value that exceeds their own value, it is worthwhile to hire them. On this basis, the cheaper the labor force, the longer the working hours. The longer it is, the more cost-effective it is.

"The amazing thing about the golden people is that they actually have no cost of survival. Food and clothing are not necessities for their survival. They will be hungry and cold, but they will not die. In other words, their The cost of survival is zero.”

Brynis said, "The unknown boss is a blessing and a misfortune. In fact, this is not a good thing. There is no survival cost, so they don't have to earn these survival costs for themselves. As long as they endure it and are strong-willed, they can refuse all production. This It is also...the law that Queen Malika intends to fulfill. So in order for them to have the motivation to work hard, they need to be given desire. Desire stirs up desire, just as fire brings more fire."

"You have been studying for a long time, does it have something to do with me?" Wuming said, "Have I made a profit? You are robbing me of runes and my employees. I think you want to die."

"It will be good for you, too," said Brainis. "Do you know what desire will bring? It will bring heirs."

Brainis nodded:

"I'm afraid there's one thing you can't know from your employees - Nimgefu's fertility rate is the highest in the border area. The workers here have the strongest desire to have children."

"How is that possible?" Wuming frowned, "It's difficult for them to even support themselves, how could they be willing to give birth to more people."

Patch was a little alert:

"It can't be... by tricking you into giving out large rune fragments to newborns."

Brainis smiled and was about to answer when an explosion roar came from beside him.

"What's wrong?" Wuming looked towards the direction of the explosion. It was in the direction of the factory. There were fire and thick smoke rushing out of it, and there were people calling for help.

"It seems that... something happened." Brynis judged calmly, "Unknown boss, we'll talk about the pleasantries later. Let's put out the fire first, okay?"

Wuming threw Rom to Patch and asked:

"Can you watch these two people?"

"It's not a big problem," Patch said.

Wuming handed the two businessmen to Patch and jumped into the air.

The flames in the factory flickered, then rolled up into a fire dragon and rushed towards Wuming.

Soon, the fire in the factory was put out.

The factory door opened, and people kept helping injured employees out.

Wuming arranged for the wounded to gather together, preparing to gather together for intensive treatment.

Suddenly, a small black ball of meat was brought over and placed among the wounded.

Wuming was stunned: "What is this?"

"That...is the child," Brynis said.

"Child?" Wuming suddenly turned his head and looked at Brainis.

"As I said, the Golden People are a very magical nation." Brynis said, "Not only are their lives extremely tenacious, but their newborn children also possess extremely strong intelligence and strength. Compared with ordinary people outside the border area, the Golden People At the age of one, the children of our people already have the intelligence and physical strength that others have when they are three or four years old.”

Wuming wiped off the black dust on the little flesh ball and found that it was really a child with bright eyes. He looked at Wuming and ate his fingers unconsciously.

Wuming noticed that the child was missing a finger.

Brainis raised his finger:

"Children's fingers are very soft and are very suitable for cleaning the corners of some machines. They can also assist their parents in the most basic tasks, such as helping their mothers to wrap balls of thread. When they grow older, they can do some simple things. They use physical activities to help their father. As mentioned earlier, the growth of the golden people does not actually require the consumption of materials. In other words, it only takes three to five years of training for children to become productive members of the family. , people are still very willing to have children..."

Wuming unleashed a big recovery, stabilized the wounded man's injuries, finally had time to stand up, and turned back to Blainis.

Patch was helpless:

"What to do now? Take him back?"

It was helpless because Patch also saw that the 'power' had already been established. There were already such businessmen and such factories in Nimgefu, and as Brynis said, such growth was endless.Businessmen will build new factories at an ever-increasing pace.

Like a disease of scarlet putrefaction.

Patch sighed: "I know you won't kill him, so leave now and deal with him when you go back. Since this guy knows so much, he can also provide some ideas. I have to say that in business, this guy's strategies are better than ours More mature.”

Brainis looked at Wuming with a smile:

"Unknown Boss, what do you think? What business strategy are you going to use to defeat me?"

Wuming slowly stretched out his hand, patted Brynis on the head, and sighed:
"You really left me a big mess."

As he spoke, he pressed his hand, and Brynis' head entered his chest.

Brynis was still standing there, but his head disappeared. The skin bag had not broken yet, but it was pressed into his chest, and blood spurted out from some gaps in his body.
