MTL - Iron Armored City-Chapter 156 Security risks
The daily turnover of the 'Old Castle Store' is not high, and the main product 'Lady' perfume has been out of sale for a while since Li Yinguang returned to Mambach Town.
Hype only, not for sale!
Li Yinguang also wanted to make money, but he knew that if he only relied on the 'Madam' perfume, the money he could make would be meager profits at most.
Rare things are precious, especially for women, the more unobtainable something is, the more people flock to it.
Bind the "Lady's Newspaper" with the "Lady's Perfume". In the future, the Lady's perfume in the castle store will not be sold according to the quota, but will be obtained by lottery. The bundle sale of 1,000 Lady's newspapers will result in a quota of ten.
Of course, this is also the time to test whether the "Lady's Perfume" is attractive, to see if the consumer group of "Lady's Perfume" can be drawn to the "Lady's Newspaper".
In the afternoon, Old Man Zhou sent someone to invite Li Yinguang to drink tea.
"What the **** are you kidding?"
After seeing Li Yinguang, old man Zhou squinted his eyes and asked in surprise.
Li Yinguang shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said with a smile: "You always said that, the boy is upright and aboveboard, how can he become a trickster?"
Old man Zhou rolled his eyes and asked Li Yinguang to sit down, before he asked curiously: "Signing so many coolies is to buy machinery and equipment, and also to buy weapons and equipment. How profitable is it to dig sweet grass and vines outside the city?"
He didn't believe that Li Yinguang just wanted to be a good person and give the refugees a way out. Not only old man Zhou didn't believe it, but also the refugees didn't believe it.
"hehe!"
Li Yinguang laughed twice, rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you always step in and invest in individual stocks, and we will do it together?"
Whether it is a good thing, whether there is profit to be made, you will know if the real money comes in, and it is not that the door is closed and you will not play with you.
"hey-hey!"
Old man Zhou shook his head: "It's freezing outside the town, maybe someone will be watching, this kind of business old man can't do it!"
Li Yinguang sneered and said: "If you can't do it, then why don't you ask a fart. To tell you the truth, the stall outside the town can earn at least eight million silver bull coins in one winter. You are so greedy."
Old man Zhou's mouse eyes shone brightly, and he laughed: "You kid is running the train with your mouth full, let alone eight million silver bull coins, I can't even see the profit of eight thousand silver bull coins."
Li Yinguang did not defend this issue, and there is nothing to talk about. Whether it is profitable to dig the rhizomes of sweet grass vines, what to do with them, and how to realize them are all mysteries.
Not to mention others, even Li Yinguang himself didn't understand it, and now they are all crossing the river by feeling the stones, wading step by step.
"Old man, who kidnapped Cordian?"
Hearing Li Yinguang's question, old man Zhou was stunned, and then he came to his senses, tilted his head to look at Li Yinguang, and asked curiously: "Well, why did you suddenly think of asking about this 'bad boy'?"
Li Yinguang smiled flatly: "Curiosity!"
The old man Zhou thought about it thoughtfully, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, but Cordeen's servants have already hired experts in tracking. Counting the time, it should be almost finished!"
Li Yinguang frowned: "Is there a possibility of being rescued?"
Old man Zhou chuckled and shook his head: "That's not good. That kid has been arrogant in Mambach Town for a day or two. I know why he is still alive and well. Has no one touched him?"
"Why?" Li Yinguang asked curiously.
Old man Zhou squinted his eyes and said in a low voice, "There is someone irradiated behind him, and he is a big shot."
" Big shot? "
Old man Zhou didn't intend to continue talking, and Li Yinguang didn't have time to ask further questions. It has been almost a day and a night since Cordian disappeared last night.
Of course, what Li Yinguang was curious about was not whether Cordeen was dead or alive, but simply wanted to know what his final outcome would be.
"Isn't it you who made the old castle shop?" Old man Zhou changed the topic and asked with a smile.
Li Yinguang rolled his eyeballs, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, the boy made it, but you always want a share of the 'Lady's Perfume', so please don't open your mouth."
When it comes to the 'Castle Shop', apart from the lady's perfume, there should be nothing that can attract this cunning old man.
"You boy, it's just a few bottles of perfume, what's the matter?" Old man Zhou said, blowing his beard and staring.
Li Yinguang shrugged his shoulders, shook his head and said with a smile: "As for the castle store, it has been a long time since I sold the 'lady' perfume, let alone you, the female family members of the high-ranking officials and noble families in Mambach Town. Wearing this perfume? Not to mention the package is intact, even if half of the bottle is opened and used, it can be sold for two to three hundred silver bull coins."
Old man Zhou squinted his eyes and asked curiously: "Since the market is so good, why don't you open up the production and sale?"
Li Yinguang shook his head: "It can't be produced, the raw materials are extremely precious, every bottle of Mrs. Gui's perfume is a rare treasure, and every bottle sold is one less bottle."
"Satisfied with lies!" Old man Zhou shook his head and sighed. He didn't believe Li Yinguang's words at all.
Rolling his eyes, he murmured, "You hired so many coolies to dig the roots of 'sweet grass vines' outside the town. This thing can't be related to your lady's perfume, right?"
Li Yinguang was taken aback by the words, then raised his hand and touched his nose, feeling in his heart, there are really smart people everywhere in the world.
"It doesn't matter!" Li Yinguang shook his head without even thinking about it.
Believe it or not is someone else's business, anyway, Li Yinguang will not admit it, the formula of 'Lady's Perfume' is absolutely confidential, something that cannot be revealed outside.
Leaving the Black Heart Grocery Store, Li Yinguang's mood can't be said to be bad or good. The matter of 'Lady's Perfume' has become a hidden danger to him, a hidden danger to his safety.
The higher the popularity of 'Madam's Perfume', the greater the hidden danger. The problem is that there is no way to eliminate this hidden danger.
Go back to the Ironclad City of the Old Castle.
In the control room, Li Yinguang frowned and thought hard. It seemed that many of the industries in Mambach Town had entered a 'dead end', but he felt that they were full of vitality and could bring him innumerable wealth.
For example, the castle store!
The ancient castle store at No. 18 Zhongbao Street, the daily business is only a few hundred silver bull coins, most of which are contributed by "fragrant beads" and "sachets". However, this kind of turnover is definitely not outstanding. Compared with the situation, the crowd is now in stark contrast.
In the circle of famous ladies, it is hard to find a bottle of 'Madam's Perfume' in the market. The problem is that it cannot be sold openly, and there is no way to bring profits to the castle store.
"We have to find a way to revitalize the industry in Mambach Town."
Li Yinguang muttered to himself, whether it was him or the Iron Armored City of the Ancient Castle, they both needed a channel to keep getting money in.
In terms of industry, there is an old castle store at "No. 18 Zhongbao Street" in Mambach Town. The store belongs to the Iron Armored City of the ancient castle, but the storefront belongs to Andy Fei.
The Gubao Store owns the most prestigious 'luxury brand' under the name of 'Madam's Perfume'.
In addition, the rest is the 'newspaper industry', owning the 'Mambach Town Small Newspaper Office', and investing in Zhiboge's newspaper office, and establishing the 'Women's Exclusive Newspaper Office'.
But right now, the 'newspaper industry' has seen its ability to make money plummet after the 'Mambach Town Small Newspaper Office' ceased operations, and it is a dry loss.
Recently, the refugee labor business has been deployed. Temporary camps have been set up in the woods outside the town, and machinery and equipment, weapons and equipment have been purchased.
In addition to these, personnel training, the airship project, etc., are continuously consuming the little money left in the iron armored city of the ancient castle.
There are not a few more incomes, and it will soon be unable to support the various expenses in the Iron Armored City.
"liquor?"
Li Yinguang thought of the 'wine' that was fermenting in Iron Armored City, and it would take another month to get the wine, which was far away and could not quench thirst.
"The newspaper business must be developed quickly, at least to maintain a balance of expenditures, and not to lose money like it is now!"
"The excavation business outside the town can't be done sparingly, otherwise I won't be able to save many people, and I will be dragged down to death by them first!"
"The Gubao needs to change its business model, and needs to find multiple ways to monetize."
Li Yinguang muttered to himself, it seems that the iron armored city of the ancient castle has a lot of industries in Mambach Town, but after careful calculation, there is really no one who makes money. Not only does it not make money, but it continues to put money into it .
If the current situation is not changed in a short period of time, the iron armored city of Gubao will be dragged to death, and it may not even be able to survive this winter.
In the evening, Butler Goda, Old Dog, Saipan and others all returned to Iron Armored City.
The old dog said: "City Master, the number of coolies in the camp outside the town today has exceeded 300. Among them, there are more than 30 women, accounting for one tenth, and several children."
Seeing Li Yinguang staring at him, the old dog shrank his neck and said with a wry smile: "It's useless for you to stare at me. You can't let them leave the child behind, right?"
Li Yinguang frowned, took a deep breath and asked, "Is there going to be any problem with the safety of the camp?"
More than 300 people is not a small number, the scale of the temporary camp is not small, it has only been two days~www.novelbuddy.com~ It is not clear how many people will be there tomorrow, at least it will not be less than today.
"No problem, there are four 'close-in defense machine guns', and a guard of fifty people has been formed, all armed, and there are duty officers day and night, very safe!" The old dog shook his head.
Outside the town, the first thing to worry about is the safety of the camp, because Li Yinguang's constant investment is much higher than the safety factor of those campgrounds.
"Well, how's the harvest today?" Li Yinguang nodded and asked.
The old dog was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said with a dry smile: "The rhizomes of the sweet grass vines must have been dug up to several thousand catties, I, I didn't pay much attention!"
Li Yinguang was overjoyed, and couldn't help cursing: "Did you really think we're doing charity? Even if it's charity, it only invests but doesn't produce, how many days can we support?"
"Yes, tomorrow I will send people to watch the excavation, and strive to increase the production capacity!" The old dog nodded vigorously.
Li Yinguang thought for a while, then frowned and said: "In addition to increasing the production capacity, we have to find a way to turn these dug up sweet grass vines into commodities, and then exchange them into money!"
