Wolf King

"Last quarter, our best-selling sauce was bean paste."

In the large meeting room of the Flame Department, Hongye, the gray dwarf Baru, Xia, Qingyan, Rosemary, Chief Arthur, Qiu, the goblin Gal, and the half-man Marcel came back from the cat clan farm. , Green Dragon Balk, the grassroots patriarch who came back from the monosodium glutamate factory, the green grass and elder Gusta who came back from the snake tribe, the blue fruit who came back from the new sweet red fruit planting area, and the Ali patriarch who inspected the progress of the work everywhere , Warrior Captain Yu, farm union president Dashui and other high-level members of the Fire Department gathered together.

Seven years have passed, from a bunch of stupid and cute underlings, who have to do it by themselves, not to mention the abundance of talents, at least they can stand up to support the scene, the bitterness, sweetness and bitterness are exhausting and difficult to describe ...

Well, Xiao Yun doesn't have the sentimentality of being a young man, and the business matters.

"In the past few years, we have developed a total of more than ten kinds of sauces, such as barbecue sauce, honey sauce, tomato sauce, garlic sauce, etc., as far as the mature forest elves, dark elves, dwarf kingdom, St. Bridge, and this year's Looking at the five major markets of the upcoming Robbins Knight, apart from the main soy sauce and vinegar in the Forest Elf and Dwarf Kingdom markets, the most popular is bean paste."

The reason why Snow Elf's market is not mentioned is that the number of products purchased by Snow Elf has been as stable as old dogs over the years... I really don't want to mention it.

"Our purpose is to cultivate a mature product dumping ground and sell the agricultural products, non-staple food, and low-end industrial products we produce. Then when the sales of a certain product are overwhelming, we must study why the sales of this product are so high. Let’s study why other products haven’t reached this level of popularity.”

After a pause, Xiao Yun took out a piece of paper from the file folder, clipped it to the small blackboard beside him, and pointed at the graph of last quarter's shipments on it: "For example, the ketchup we have placed high hopes on, It stands to reason that sweet and sour taste is the most popular taste, but the ketchup we sell is not even as good as the smallest barbecue sauce on the market, why is this?”

"I do know that." Xia raised his hands, "Our barbecue sauce uses heat processing technology, which contains rich ingredients such as salt, garlic, ginger, pepper, etc., and because of the strong taste, even if it deteriorates slightly, it can continue Used, extremely popular among adventurers, travelers, long-distance caravans, and people traveling far.”

"Well, continue." Xiao Yun encouraged.

Xia liked this feeling of being watched very much, excitedly: "In comparison, although tomato sauce is the most popular sweet and sour taste, it is consumed too quickly, it is inconvenient to carry a large amount, and it cannot replace traditional seasonings. There is only a market among forest elves and a few human races, so it is naturally not as good as barbecue sauce."

Qingyan rolled his eyes inconspicuously, but the grassroots patriarch seemed to be reminded by Xia's words, and he lifted his spirits: "Wait, the taste is heavy? If I remember correctly, the sales of bean paste are getting more and more as you go south. ?”

"Yes." Snow Flower, the tribal treasurer, said, "The forest elves, the dwarf kingdom and the dark elves purchased a total of less than [-] tons of bean paste in the last quarter, and Robbins Knight led the sale of about [-] tons of bean paste." tons, and St. Bridge shipped five hundred tons of Doubanjiang from Elf Port."

The sauce is not a vermicelli that consumes extremely quickly, it is indeed an astonishing number in hundreds of tons.

The people of this world were not accustomed to using sauces seasoned with various ingredients, nor did they have the habit of cooking. Xiao Yun tirelessly advertised in "Gourmet Hunter's Travels" for several years, and used "bean paste to stir-fry red oil" countless times. "Swiping the screen, if anyone who can afford "Travel to the Mainland" can resist not trying it, Xiao Yun will respect you for being a man.

Except for a very small number of literary youths or conflicts of interest, there are not many idlers who really care about and insist on "traditional tastes"...Eating habits are not a problem at all, and I have never seen the habit of eating lettuce among the forest elves. Well~!

"That's right!" the grassroots patriarch patted his thigh, "The further south you go, the shorter the shelf life of food. In summer, the fresh meat on our grassland will only go bad after three days. When it comes to Valentine, it will go bad in two days if it is not sealed. , If you arrive in St. Bridge, the taste will change in a day. Doubanjiang has a strong taste and can effectively cover up the deterioration of ingredients. Naturally, the further south you go, the higher the sales."

"That's right? When we went to St. Bridge, we seem to have heard people there say that they often eat spoiled food in summer." Patriarch Ali rubbed his chin and said.

"So, last year's bean paste seems to be the most sold in summer and autumn." Lan Guo interjected.

"Yes, I didn't notice it until I mentioned it." Other executives echoed.

Xiao Yun smiled and waited for everyone to understand thoroughly before speaking out: "From the perspective of sauce sales, we can clearly know that the most important part of the product sales process is market demand. When the market needs it, we provide it. Only people will pay for the products. So considering the market demand, let’s talk about it, where should we sell the new products in our Qiuling New District? "

Hongye & Balu from the hilly new area raised their spirits, this is an important issue closely related to the value of the wealth they created.

The executives whispered to each other for a while, and Qingcao raised her hand first.

Xiao Yun was a little surprised, but still encouraged: "Come to Qingcao, tell me your opinion."

Qingcao is full of confidence: "I heard friends from the Snake Department mention the situation in the southern country of the Human Kingdom. I think that if our hilly new area wants to export low-end industrial products like the Southern Kingdom, these types of products will be produced now. None of the products are suitable."

"Oh?!" Hongye & Balu looked at her in shock.

"There are many mountains in the southern country, the water network is dense, and the land is scattered. It is not like our grasslands where large farmland can be connected. Triangular pears, seeders, and harvesters driven by tractors cannot be used on their land. "Qingcao is really confident about this. She has never been out of the grassland and she is also curious about the outside world. The snake tribe who has lived in the southern kingdom for more than ten years is her window to understand the outside world. She heard that the land in the southern country is scattered all over the place. She was also particularly surprised when it was cut into various weird shapes.

The Grassroots Patriarch and the Ali Patriarch, who had seen Elliott Palace, the Kingdom of Holmes, and St. Bridge, were stunned and said at the same time: "That's right! Their fields are not as big as ours. You can’t turn your head around with a tractor!”

Xiao Yun glanced admiringly at Elder Gusta, who had been acting cautiously since he entered the door... After fighting the snake clan for a long time, the grass has become smarter, which is very appropriate.

"So...the dark elves don't farm the land, the forest elves live in the forest, and the dwarf kingdom is also mountainous and valleyy, so we can't even sell our farm tools?" Hong Ye frowned.

"It can still be sold to Valentine." The grassroots patriarch comforted, "We have seen Valentine and Bolton Land before. The terrain is flat and the scale of the farmland is not much smaller than ours."

Patriarch Ali also said: "Can you sell water pumps to the Dwarf Kingdom and the southern countries, especially the Dwarf Kingdom? Didn't they follow the travel notes written by Ah Yun to build terraces? Where is the water pump convenient for water trucks?"

The water pump technology used by the engineering team and the Qiuling New District mine for many years is quite mature. This time, the water pump is also a free ride when they want to sell agricultural machinery.

"Yeah, that's right, our water pumps can be sold to the dwarf kingdom." Baloo's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

As a gray dwarf, Baloo has similar resentment towards the dwarf kingdom as Isaac has towards his family...

Hongye smiled bitterly: "The structure of the water pump is much simpler than that of a tractor. If the Dwarf Kingdom buys our water pump, it will only buy a batch at most..."

Baru choked suddenly—there is no problem in this world that technical patents are not allowed to be imitated!

"It doesn't matter. What we are selling now is the first generation of piston pumps. If they are imitated, they will be imitated. When we manufacture centrifugal and axial flow pumps, it will not be so easy to imitate." Xiao Yun smiled, "For example The sauces we sell, don’t some people reverse the formula and imitate them? But we are large-scale production, all raw materials are self-sufficient, and others can’t compete with us in the price war, so we are still the leader in sauces.”

Everyone nodded in unison, and they were very calm... The corporate culture is confident, ahem, Xiao Yun has worked hard in this regard.

"Then this season, we will add our tractor head and supporting triangular pears, planters, harvesters, etc. to the goods delivered to Robbins Knight. As for the agricultural machinery market in the southern country, we are not saying that there is no singing We can produce a batch of curved shaft plows, small seeders, harvesters, light threshing machines, threshers, etc. that can be supported by a single person according to the needs of southern countries."

After a pause, Xiao Yun looked at the big cats: "Patriarch Arthur, Xia, how about the stocks of weaving crafts produced by the two farms?"

No. [-] cat clan farm has added three new tribes this year, plus the [-] tribes of No. [-] farm, a total of [-] cat clan tribes are now mixed with the Huoyan tribe; in order to let the big cats board their own boats Going down, the Fire Department did not forget to help the little brothers when doing business.

The big cats are ingenious and aesthetically pleasing, and the colorful plastic beads produced by the plastic processing factory of the Huoyan Department are handed over to the big cats to make beads... Hand strings, beaded door curtains, curtains, bed curtains, and even weaving beaded lace can make extra money. It can also squeeze the remaining time of the big cats to the limit, lest the cats have nothing to think about.

Qiuqiu’s wool spinning factory garment workshop, originally only the pattern can be seen (copied from the forest elf garment), with embellishments such as beaded lace, the popularity has greatly increased...

"Don't worry, the quality can be guaranteed." Chief Arthur said with a smile.

"Okay, then everyone should make good preparations later, classify and pack the products of our departments, and we will start delivering them to Elven Port tonight, and try to ship them within three days." Xiao Yun clapped his hands.

If the department in charge has goods to be delivered from the warehouse, they all nod yes.

Xiao Yun looked at the half-human Marcel again: "The sales volume of products sold by Isaac's Knights has entered a bottleneck period in the past six months. If we want to increase sales again, we have to work hard on services. Isaac and I The idea is to lead a professional delivery team in the Robbins Knight, and the first step is to ensure that customers within the Cronin Kingdom can deliver the goods to their door. Purcell, are you interested?"

The half-human Marcel was kneeling at the back of the crowd. As a representative of the race, he attended every official meeting, but he was very self-conscious and never spoke...

In the final analysis, centaurs are not a race suitable for farming - even the snow werewolves don't need them much for pulling plows - the status of centaurs in the production and construction of the Ministry of Fire has always been embarrassing.

When Xiao Yun clicked on his name, Saier was stunned for a long time before he realized it. He raised his finger and pointed to his nose: "Me?"

"Yes, for the land transport team, can there be someone more suitable than your centaur?" Xiao Yun said encouragingly, "How about it, do you have the confidence to do this?"

"Okay!" Saier didn't ask the details, and answered in seconds - he and his clansmen have eaten enough in the Huoyan Department for a long time!As a traditional fighting race in the Northern Continent, this is not glorious at all.

Xiao Yun smiled and nodded, he just likes this kind of sharp people...

Don't look at the centaur being beaten badly by the Tiger Clan and almost dying, but they are not weak chickens... They are really a weak chicken race, and they can't live in the cursed land for so many years.

With their own horsepower (...), their own talent for riding and fighting, as long as they don't let them deal with groups of tiger warriors and snow wolf warriors attacking in groups, they can still fight the ground~!

Of course, Xiao Yun let them take charge of the transportation brigade. There is another reason that cannot be mentioned-these guys are ugly enough, so ugly that they are very topical. Done... Cough cough cough cough!

After finishing Saier, Xiao Yun turned his attention to Yu again: "Maomao, you have seen the armor that Hongye and the others sent, how do you feel?"

"Very good." Yu nodded vigorously, and happily cast loving gazes at Hongye and Balu...

Armor was something that the Flame Department couldn't afford - even if the family had raised gray dwarves, the cost of building a set of chain armor from the inner lining to the outer alloy armor would not be less than [-] gold coins, almost about It's like wearing a house on your body.

The upper limit of force in this world is quite high. An armor made of ordinary stainless steel can hardly block ordinary human swords and swords. A parallel second-order knight of Isaac's level can pierce the fine steel armor with a single blow. ...

In order to obtain protective armor, from the inner chain armor to the outer armor, special alloys mixed with magic mineral powder must be used, and monsters or monster materials must be used to increase the magic resistance. The cost is not high. There's a spectrum - for example, Carlisle's younger brother Dan Crowdy, he can't get a hundred gold coins out of that knight armor!That's not high class!

The bust armor worn by Carlisle costs a thousand gold coins...

There are [-] fighters in the Huoyan Department, all equipped with medium-level armor, and the Huoyan Department has to save money for two years...

This money, no matter how much Xiao Yun saves, he has to spend it, and it is spent on the edge of the knife in a serious manner; when Xiao En squatted in the Fire Department to study pneumatic technology, Primo, an old man, was running around the world outside. Scan for cheap armor materials...

"Since the armor is in place, our team can also be led by Robbins Knight to meet the audience." Xiao Yun said happily, "Have you considered which two teams to choose?"

Arming your own fighters, naturally it's time to show off your muscles.

It's just that this show of muscle has to be technical. Let others know that you can fight, but you can't let others think that you want to fight, or you have nothing to do to beat you to gain reputation. You have to pay attention to the scale.

How to peacefully show the muscle mass of the snow wolf tribe and the prairie tribe?Xiao Yun thought of a rather peaceful idea - to hold a snowwolf football (American football/rugby) exhibition match at the Robins Cavaliers.

The confrontation sports in this world have the widest audience and the largest number of participants. Only the human race’s polo and the hundred-man wrestling popular in the Far East. The former is not considered, and the latter is too unskilled; When killing the rest of the training time, I chose American football without hesitation-the rules are simple enough, the confrontation is strong enough, and the impact is strong enough!

When the warriors played games without armor, the scene of 22 muscular men colliding was very shocking, and was welcomed by all tribes of the Fire Department... Bringing the exhibition match to Isaac's knight led the game, which can not only show the snow wolf clan The armor protection power of the snow wolf clan fighters can also show off the absolutely strong muscle mass.

"Since we are going to perform, let me and Xiaohua's team go." Yu said without much thought, "Leave Ah Tian and Ah Yan to watch the house."

"Okay, then you get ready to get on the boat with Saier and the others in three days." Xiao Yun made a decision.

"Ayun, Ayun, I want to go too!" Qingcao tried to raise her hand, "I'll bring Ruhua back when I come back, okay?"

Xiao Yun first glanced at Elder Gusta: "It's not impossible... Is there any problem with the work of the Snake Department?"

Elder Gusta showed shame on his face, and hung his head even lower—he came to the Ministry of Fire and Flame for many meetings, and he was very clear about the problems of the Snake Department, but he knew the problems existed but did not have enough courage to solve them. The snake department had to be given special treatment when it was time to get down to business, which made him lose face.

The grassroots patriarch laughed and said: "Let Qingcao go if she wants to go, just let Ali show her the working group of the Snake Department."

This statement is very good for Elder Gusta's face, Gusta gratefully glanced at the grassroots patriarch.

Patriarch Ali said indifferently: "It's fine, I don't have anything to do recently."

In the Huoyan Department, which is currently on the rise, the discipline inspection work and production promotion work really have little room for Patriarch Li to do his best.

"Yes." Xiao Yun nodded, "Then let's continue to talk about the sales of vermicelli in the second half of the year."

The drowsy Balk immediately cheered up, and this place was related to him.

The vermicelli dumped all over the world due to its cheapness, convenience, and easy storage has no problem of being unable to open the market. As long as it can be produced, it can be sold... Which direction to dump is the key issue.

The Dwarf Kingdom and the Dark Elf & Tiger Clan coalition forces are still exchanging fire. Both sides are big customers of the Fire Department, but the vermicelli sold to the Dwarf Kingdom has to be transferred from the forest elves.

Why not just build a transaction channel?This involves the issue of the strategic layout of the Northern Continent - the dumping of vermicelli, which has increased to 3000 million catties this year, will hit the grain market of the Dwarf Kingdom. When the Dwarf King recovers, wouldn't it be a shame to vent his anger on the Fire Department? wonderful!

So, we must share the profits with the forest elves, and let the forest elves help the Fire Department take this risk...

When the dwarf kingdom is busy fighting, it may not feel that once the war situation stabilizes a little bit and the circulation of the private economy returns to normal, the bankrupt dwarf farmers will be able to toss the dwarf king to death——Mexican farmers have been overwhelmed by the North American Free Trade Agreement. After bankruptcy, the embarrassment of the Mexican government has been so many years that it has not been resolved!

Of course, it wasn't that Xiao Yun was only thinking about making trouble with the Dwarf King. The so-called long-distance friendship and short-term attack, Xiao Yun still wanted to make friends with the Dwarf King... It's just that the difference in size between the two sides is too big, so it's just a detour.

The dwarf king knew that he had been tricked by the forest elves, and this was a good time for Xiao Yun to stretch out his claws of friendship~!

The so-called enemy's enemy is a friend. If the Tiger Clan hadn't broken free from the Beast Emperor's control, Xiao Yun also had the idea of ​​making a kinship relationship with the Tiger Clan...cough cough.

Half a month later, Knight Robbins led the private port.

The high-spirited Isaac stood on the pier with Alex, the Knight Brothers and other friends, standing up like a flower with his tongue out, lying on Isaac's shoulders, happily rushing into the fire department fleet in the port Let out a long howl.

After half a year of accumulation, Isaac's reputation as a playwright has slowly fermented and spread. More and more drama lovers have come to the Robbins Knights, bringing not only fame and the increasing prosperity of the Knights, but also flames. The sales volume of some products has been rising steadily.

Poor people have no conditions to love drama, let alone travel far away to join in the fun... Whether Isaac can become an excellent commercial spy is yet to be tested, but he has pointed out the achievement point of bringing online celebrities.

Vermicelli, vinegar, various sauces, monosodium glutamate, cold-eating diced rabbit, fresh pork and rabbit meat and other agricultural products, non-staple food are transported to Isaac’s knight collar by boat, woolen textiles, plastic accessories, ornaments, cheap ready-made clothes, Low-end industrial products such as wolf fur and cat fur handicrafts have also caught the hot ride...

In particular, the bracelets made of colorful plastic beads and ropes woven from wolf hair from the Snow Wolf family are beautiful and have a certain anti-mosquito effect. The monthly sales once almost beat MSG, the product with the highest unit price...

In addition to these market-proven hot-selling products, this time the fleet came to deliver agricultural machinery, and the teacher arranged the most suitable delivery team to come. Isaac can be said to be counting the time with his fingers and waiting for the cargo ship into port.

The fleet entered the port and docked. On the deck, the sailors hired from the Transport Department of the Adventurers Association waved happily towards the pier.

The anchor was dropped on the deck, and the workers at the dock stepped forward to help tie the cables and set up the ladder. Isaac was about to come forward to greet him, but Ruhua, who was lying on his back, suddenly pushed him, turned around and ran wildly.

Isaac and his friends: "??"

"Roar--!!"

But hearing a roar, a strong figure jumped down from the edge of the ship...

Isaac and his friends: "??"

This muscular brother who took a leap of faith showed off the snow wolf clan's stunt in mid-air. He undressed in a second, rolled forward on the spot after landing, and turned into a huge white wolf seven meters long when he jumped up again. Ferociously, he chased after Ruhua who had run wildly into the distance...

Isaac: "..."

Alex swallowed his saliva: "Well... that can't be Ruhua's mother, Qingcao?"

Edward stared at the dead fish eyes: "It seems to be her."

Several human men were silent for a while, and Alex said quietly, "It's really a deep maternal love."
