The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 34 Positioning is high-end
Lü Bu brought him back to Xiapi, and Chen Gong and Gao Shun came to meet him.

"Where has Wen Hou been these days?" Chen Gong asked just after arriving in front of him.

"Regained the lost land, and went to Shouchun again." Lu Bu chuckled, "By the way, I killed Yuan Shu."

"Yuan Shu was killed by Marquis Wen?" Chen Gong and Gao Shun looked shocked.

"Killing him is not like a game." Lu Bu said confidently, "Now I can single-handedly kill a few times in Shouchun City!"

"We know Wen Hou's ability, but this is too risky." Chen Gong said: "Don't do this kind of thing again in the future."

"I also plan to find a chance to go to Xudu and destroy Cao Cao." Lu Bu said, "Let's see who else dares to oppose me!"

"Cao Cao is no better than Yuan Shu, he has countless powerful generals around him." Chen Gong persuaded first, and then said: "Zhang Shiping is back, and he has been waiting for Wen for a day."

"So fast?" Lu Bu was taken aback, "Is the toothpaste sold out?"

"It's not only sold out, it's a mad rush." ​​Chen Gong replied: "He went to Xudu and planned to sell it to the wives of the Cao family's back house, but he didn't expect the local gentry to buy it all."

"I thought it wouldn't be easy to sell." Lu Bu ordered, "Take me to see him."

Chen Gong accompanied Lu Bu to the government office: "Marquis Wen killed Yuan Shu, did you spread the news?"

"It's spreading along the way." Lu Bu replied, "Even if Shouchun wants to cover it up, it's impossible to cover up the truth."

"Once Yuan Shu dies, Huainan will become the target of public criticism, and Xuzhou will inevitably be affected." Chen Gong said: "It's really risky for Wen Hou to do this."

"If Yuan Shu does not die, Xuzhou will be the target of public criticism." Lu Bu replied, "Now we are struggling to survive in the cracks, and there are jackal-like eyes everywhere, which makes people feel very uncomfortable."

He went on to say: "As long as I have a chance to breathe, it won't be long before the roles of the prey and the hunter have to be switched. To bring trouble to Huainan, I just want to catch my breath."

"If someone enters Xuzhou, what does Marquis Wen plan to do?" Chen Gong asked.

"Let, we give in when we can't handle them." Lu Bu said: "We admit that we are not strong enough, and let them spit out everything they ate when their vitality recovers."

Lu Bu has made a comprehensive plan, and it sounds like there is nothing wrong with it.

Chen Gong was very surprised by this.

After following Lu Bu for several years, Chen Gong has never seen him have such strong decision-making ability as he does now.

Killing Yuan Shu, bringing troubles to Huainan, and with the mentality of throwing away a few cities, they can earn stability for seven or eight months at least.

Seven or eight months is enough to plan a big war to overturn the situation in troubled times.

Besides, Lu Bu must have other arrangements.

When they came to the government, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao returned to the barracks, and Chen Gong accompanied Lu Bu to see Zhang Shiping.

On the way back to the barracks with Zhang Liao, Gao Shun asked him, "Wen Hou really killed Yuan Shu?"

"That can be false." Zhang Liao replied: "Wen Hou's speed is so fast, I can hardly see his movements clearly. Yuan Shu is dead."

Gao Shun looked at him in astonishment, with disbelief on his face.

"If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it." Zhang Liao said, "We know Wen Hou's ability. Although he is brave, he will never kill people invisible."

"As General Zhang said, who else in the world is Wen Hou's opponent?" Gao Shun couldn't help feeling emotional.

"Originally, Wen Hou was alone in the world and it was difficult to find an opponent. Now I am afraid there is no opponent." Zhang Liao said: "As he said, as long as he is given a chance to breathe, the world will fall into his hands sooner or later."

Lu Bu, who returned to the government, was accompanied by Chen Gong to the study.

"Where is Zhang Shiping?" He asked without seeing Zhang Shiping.

"I'll put him in the building." Chen Gong replied, "Marquis Wen can't go to see him in person, I'll have someone find him."

"Alright." Lu Bu entered the study.

Chen Gong ordered the guards to invite Zhang Shiping before entering the house.

Spring is the shortest season of the year.

Especially on both sides of the Huaihe River, spring and autumn are especially short.

The chilly early spring slipped away quietly, and the warm spring has arrived inadvertently.

Lu Bu and Chen Gong sat in the study, discussing possible troubles in the future.

The guard outside the gate reported: "General Qi, Mr. Zhang is here."

"Please come in," Lu Bu ordered.

The guard gently opened the door and led in a person.

It was Zhang Shiping who walked in.

He bowed to Lu Bu: "Fortunately, Hsin Wen Hou took the toothpaste away, otherwise this time I would really lose a lot of money."

"Sold all 72 bottles?" Lu Bu asked.

"There's not a single bottle left, and they're all sold." Zhang Shiping replied, "Someone even increased the price of the last few bottles to ten pennies."

"It's so tight?" Lu Bu couldn't believe it when the price was increased by ten pennies.

"I didn't expect it to be so easy to sell." Zhang Shiping replied: "It was sold out in just two days. When I left Xudu, people still asked me when the next batch would be sent there."

"Who are the people who buy toothpaste?" Lu Bu asked.

"Mostly they are the wives of noble families." Zhang Shiping said: "There are also some gentry who bought them as gifts for high-ranking people. Toothpaste has become an extremely precious gift. It is said that the price on the black market has reached [-] yuan a bottle."

"There is even a black market?" Lu Bu was very surprised.

He knew there would be a market for toothpaste, but he didn't expect it to be so popular.

With his cognition after 2000, he is very clear that every commodity has its own positioning and consumer groups.

Toothpaste is commonplace after 2000.

But at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was rare and expensive, and no one had ever seen it.

Not every commodity needs to face ordinary people.

Just like the Patek Philippe watches of later generations, those who can afford them choose one in a million.

But just such a small number of people can support the entire brand.

Lu Bu also has this mentality in making toothpaste.

He didn't even think about making money from ordinary people in the past.

How much money do people have?
From thinking of making money with toothpaste, his goal is to target high-end groups and make money from the rich.

The cost is not high, the higher the selling price, the greater the profit.

"Can the general urge them to make some?" Zhang Shiping said, "I'll send it to Xudu..."

"Don't go to Xudu again." Lu Bu interrupted him: "The rarer something is, the more precious it will be considered. Before leaving, find someone to tell Xudu about the place where Mr. Delivery to your door is more likely to cause a sensation. When the price of toothpaste on the black market rises to [-] per bottle, the husband's business will be considered real."

"If the general is doing business, there is no way for us merchants to survive." Zhang Shiping immediately understood what Lu Bu meant: "Please ask the general to prepare the goods, and I will arrange other things."
