My brother is so cunning.

The transport ship floated above the Dragon Palace. Wen Rui, He Lingyun and Su Yingluo looked through the transparent panoramic bridge portholes at the lighting project construction site below.

Hundreds of specialized underwater Ultron engineering robots are drilling holes in the crystal and laying waterproof circuits inside the walls.

At the same time, the infrastructure project of the closed palladium element power station next to Dragon Palace is also breaking ground.

This is just one of the construction sites. The four major cities around the Dragon Palace are also undergoing lighting construction, but the construction quality requirements are not as high as the Dragon Palace, so there is no need to keep an eye on them.

To the southeast and northwest of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, there are Coral Sea City, Abyss Sea City, Jingluo Sea City and Ancient Reef Sea City respectively. They are the places where intelligent creatures who have developed spiritual intelligence among the East China Sea Sea Tribe live together.

Just like the big cities around the metropolitan area.

There are still many sea tribes scattered in the East China Sea, but in the sea city, more than half of the water tribe who have opened their spiritual wisdom in the entire East China Sea are concentrated, and it is the main population gathering place.

The situation in the West China Sea, South China Sea, and North China Sea is similar.

"Yingluo, the way to do business is to have connections first. If I hadn't heard about the identity of Tianzun's son, I wouldn't even have been able to see the Dragon King's face."

Wen Rui patiently taught business knowledge to the little fox, while He Lingyun also listened and studied attentively.

"But how can a wild goblin like me, who has no background, imitate the sect master?" Su Yingluo asked with a frown.

"Good question!" Wen Rui said with a smile: "Have you ever heard of the 'Six People's Rule'? Two strangers can establish a connection through six people. You recognize me and I recognize the Dragon King. That's it. Did you make friends with the Dragon King through me?"

"The same goes for other unfamiliar customers. Our disciples of Jiejiao actually have a wide network of contacts. Former disciples are all over heaven, Lingshan and the underworld. If you meet an unfamiliar big customer, do a background check and find out his social circle. Then check the list of my disciples, and then go find relatives and friends with the gifts, won't you find someone to help make connections? "

The little fox understood everything and nodded repeatedly: "I understand!"

"Secondly, if we want to earn profits from customers, we must first figure out what the customers' needs are."

Wen Rui continued to teach: "Take the previous cases as an example. The demon clan needs blood food; the disciples of the Immortal Sect are pampered and self-proclaimed and need someone to handle mundane chores for them and support them; the princes need chariots and horses. This is If they just need it, they have to accept whatever we provide.”

The little fox recalled the business Wen Rui had handled and couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

"The Dragon King is rich in the world. There is abundant food in the sea and mountains of treasures. It seems that he lacks nothing."

Wen Rui continued: "But in fact, what he lacks is what our land race is most accustomed to - sunlight."

"You have all learned in the nine-year compulsory textbooks that even if the sea water is transparent, sunlight will continue to be absorbed and reflected. A few dozen meters below the surface of the water will be weakened to the point where you can barely see clearly. Eight hundred meters below the water is already pitch black. , one thousand meters underwater there is no sunlight, only darkness.”

Wen Rui was like a knowledgeable teacher, talking eloquently: "There are indeed many luminous algae and orbs under the sea, but for such a huge Dragon Palace or even a city, it is really a drop in the bucket. The ancient seabed is not comparable. "Qibao, the sun cannot rise underwater. Living by the dim light of fireflies is not as enjoyable as having bright lights."

"The brightest luminous pearl in the Dragon King's sea treasure house is not as bright as a one-hundred-watt incandescent lamp, but we can provide unlimited lighting equipment. This business is promising."

The little fox's eyebrows danced when he heard it, and he sighed: "I never thought that even if we sold out, we could also sell the spiritual stones."

"It's not just that!" Wen Rui said with a smile: "We can also sell "heat" to the residents of the sea city. There is insufficient oxygen on the sea floor. Even if you use water-proof beads to create a water-free space, you cannot make a fire."

"Oh?" The little fox quickly raised his ears and listened attentively.

"A civilization that cannot make fire cannot meet the most basic survival needs such as food and hygiene, let alone cannot smelt metal."

Wen Rui continued his lecture: "Therefore, the weapons and armor used by the aquarium are either smelted in the rare underwater volcanic craters, or can only be made by polishing crystals or shells and corals. You have studied the nine-year compulsory education textbook, and you should know that in addition to making fire , there are many ways to generate heat.”

He Lingyun quickly replied: "Let me think about it, yes, electromagnetic and microwaves!"

Wen Rui nodded and said: "Yes, we can sell underwater special induction cookers and microwave ovens so that ordinary seaside residents can eat cheap hot food. We can also sell electromagnetic smelting equipment so that aquariums outside of submarine craters can also Smelting metal.”

“Wow, I can only imagine how popular these products will be!”

The little fox said excitedly: "The Aqua Tribe has a large number of rare gems, orbs and ores, but because it is isolated from the land, it can only be used for decoration. We use lamps, induction cookers and microwave ovens to exchange for commodities processed from ordinary iron. If shipped to land, the profit can be doubled a hundred or a thousand times!”

Wen Rui's expression became serious and he said seriously: "Yingluo, you have to remember that making money is never the goal, it's just a means. Our real goal in establishing trade routes is to incorporate the ocean into the community of destiny for all living beings built by the Jinling Sect, and to integrate the sea people closely linked to the common interests of the Continental people.”

The little fox blinked, showing confusion.

"Only when interests are aligned can all beings unite closely." Wen Rui said meaningfully: "We can make the lives of the aquatic people better, and they will naturally believe in our teachings, learn our teachings, yearn for our way of life, and become loyal believers of our Jiejiao."

"Today's ocean is far from being a civilization. It seems rich, but it is just a pile of uncirculated treasures piled up in the Dragon Palace treasury. The development of the aquatic people is restricted by light and smelting. If the spiritual energy is exhausted and there is no leader like the dragon clan to rule, sooner or later they will degenerate to the most primitive state of survival."

"Are we here to do business and make money? We are here to teach and solve doubts, to sow the seeds of civilization. You must remember that the most profitable business in the world is to put your thoughts into other people's brains, not to put other people's money into your own pockets."

“So I often say that I am not interested in money. When money accumulates to a certain amount, it is just a number. The economic base determines the superstructure. The real purpose of creating wealth and circulating materials is to change the world!”

“Take Daji of the Xuanyuanfen Fox Clan for example. How could she be a vulgar woman who covets wealth and glory? King Zhou is not as handsome as me. What does she want? She wants King Zhou to get old or not take a bath?”

“Isn’t it to earn a good performance in front of Nuwa, reflect the value of the demon clan, and win the favor of the saint for the demon clan? She wants to change the fate of the demon clan, and also has an ambition to change the world and rise the demon clan.”

“The result is counterproductive... Who would have thought that the saint would also be untrustworthy and kill the donkey after it has done its job? I guess she must have been very unwilling when she died.”

The little fox widened her peach blossom eyes and looked at Wen Rui steadily, with tears in her eyes.
