"Take a step forward and learn from me. I'll teach you how to say it." Little Bei was very satisfied with the girl's behavior.
The girl timidly took a step forward.
Little Bei took out a mirror from her bag and looked at herself. Then, she said, "It's like this. I take a bamboo tube of fish bone powder and go to a merchant who comes to my tribe to trade. I say, 'Uncle, do you want powder that can be fed to fish?' I grab a handful and sprinkle it into the water. Fish eat it. Also, my chicks love to eat it more than fish.
Uncle, do you have fish and chicks at home? I'm willing to give you some. You can feed them at home. They like to eat it. Can you come and buy my powder? I'll exchange it for sugar candy.
See? Learn from me. Remember, you have to look up and blink your eyes when you talk to them. Don't laugh or cry. Look a little dazed. You're naturally dazed.
When he gives you a price, you write it down. When other caravans come to your side, you can ask them. You can sell to whoever offers the highest price. That way, you won't lose as much. "
The boys in the tribe stared at Little Bei, their eyes shining. They did not know if the deal would work, but they knew that Little Bei was very cute.
"Little Bei, you're acting cute," Little Yuan said.
"I'm selling powder, okay? This is the only advantage a child has. If I don't take advantage of it, I'll be letting myself down, "Little Bei retorted.
Cuan Mo 'a's son looked at Little Bei and wanted to invite her to stay in the village, but he recalled his father's words and did not dare to say it. Instead, he asked, "Little Bei, do you usually do business like this?"
"I don't. Do I need to act cute?" Little Bei curled her lips. "If I were to sell local specialties, I would directly tell the merchant that you give me a price and come up with a detailed sales plan. What will you use to ensure sales volume? How will you stabilize the loyalty of the buyer group? Also, how much profit do you pursue? What percentage of advertising investment are you willing to provide? "
"How is it different?" Cuan Mo 'a's son asked.
"Because I'm Zhang Xiaobei. With the nine of us combined, our marketing wisdom is stronger than the merchants who come. At the same time, we have more resources to use. Do you understand? If you want others to respect you, you have to become strong first. The more you know about a certain industry, the less people in the same industry dare to bully you.
We no longer need to rely on our identities as brothers and sisters. We can sit on equal footing with ordinary merchants, and if we add on our status as Great Tang Patrol Emissaries, we can mobilize many resources.
"For example, in the war between the Tang Empire and Duo Shi this time, through the Candy House chain of partners, it is convenient for us to support the war indirectly. Our words determine the direction of millions of strings of money.
This was why they were allowed to earn their own money. The children in the capital enjoyed the funds provided by the merchants to study. Not only did they not accept the charity of others, but they also formed a kind of charity to the merchants who took the money. Everyone fought to give them money.
"It's because of where they are, as well as their knowledge and status. If you need merchants to invest here, you're purely accepting charity. I hope that you can be more self-reliant. Of course, I will also give you help, not charity. "
Xiao Bei explained. It could be said that his words were heartfelt and earnest.
After that, she took out a stack of money from her bag, counted out a hundred notes, and handed them to the tribe leader, Cuan Mo 'a's son.
"Take this, ten thousand strings of coins. Each note is a hundred strings of coins. The purchasing power, oh, how many things can you buy with this? Just take one note and buy enough salt from the merchants to feed your entire tribe for three years, and it's the kind of salt that you eat with all your might under the circumstances of a nine-fold difference.
If you want to use it all to buy salt, your tribe can eat for three hundred years. This money is for you. When the tribe is in trouble and needs money, you can use it, but you are not allowed to use it to buy luxury goods. If I find out who bought luxury goods, I will make him lose his life. Our money is not so easy to cheat. "
Xiao Bei first introduced the purchasing power and then threatened.
The children in the tribe had no concept of buying other things, but when it came to salt, it was much more intuitive. The stack of money in front of them could buy the salt that the tribe ate for three hundred years?
Cuan Mo 'a's son looked nervously at the other eight people, afraid that the eight of them would ask for all the money back. Three hundred years of salt was really scary.
After a while, he took out another note in embarrassment and handed the others to Xiao Bei. "One is enough. Give us all the money. You have no money to use."
"Ha!" Xiao Bei laughed. "Give you all our money? Do you know how much money we have? The money we earn in a day is twice as much as what you have. Money is just a number to us now. If we use a part of this number to improve the lives of others, we will be happy.
We don't care about money. We only care about how others use it. Why do you think we need a lot of money? We eat and wear at home. Our family has more money than us. What we are worried about now is how to spend it, not how to save it in the bank to earn interest. "
Xiao Yuan and the others nodded. They indeed had so much money that they had nowhere to spend it. Every time they took out a sum of money to spend on the Tang Dynasty's children's welfare, they would earn more. The main reason was that the brand of the Precious Candy House chain was too strong. The children of the rich would definitely choose to spend money at Precious Candy House.
Even the adults liked to play at Precious Candy House's amusement park.
Cuan Mo 'a's son couldn't believe it. His voice trembled as he said, "With money, you have power."
"You also know about power? Power is not obtained by money. It is given by the people. Power itself has no value. Its value is reflected in how much benefits the person who enjoys the power can bring to the person who gave it to him.
Even if we don't have money, we still have power because the people trust us. Power is invisible. Whether it is abused or not depends on who the power holder uses the power on.
Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you. Many people forget the root of power. Every time they seek benefits for themselves, it's a blasphemy against power. What's dirty is not only the transaction of power, but also their soul. When they die, they definitely won't be able to close their eyes.
Xiao Bei said a lot and shook his head. He felt that it was impossible to communicate with ordinary children.
Cuan Mo 'a's son really didn't understand, but he knew that he had money now. He could buy salt for the tribe to eat for 300 years. He considered whether to buy more and save it for later use.
Xiao Hai seemed to see through the other party's plan and hurriedly said, "Don't buy salt. There will be salt soon. It won't cost you money. Eat as much as you want. If you can't think of how to spend it, keep it. There's no need to be afraid of depreciation. This is because after productivity increases, the depreciation of money is on luxury goods and medium-sized products, not low-end goods that are affected by productivity.
I've said too much again. Anyway, you just need to know that this money is very useful. If you don't make money from selling things, use it to pay for your learning equipment and the cost of hiring teachers. "
Cuan Mo 'a's son clenched the money tightly. His eyes reddened as he asked, "Why are you so good to us?"
"Because you admit that you are from the Tang Empire. We have always treated our own people well. If it were a child from Japan or a child from Xinluo, I wouldn't care if they died."
Xiao Bei said in a very domineering manner. After thinking for a while, he said, "Actually, the children in Japan and Xinluo are not bad either. They were invited to the capital, including their families. Back then, we were the ones who suggested that the best children from the Tang Empire be chosen to come to the capital. It was a very simple purpose. In the end, my brother and sister found out and came up with a series of plans.
Sigh! We are still too far away from them. Every time we feel that we are powerful, my brother and sister will use the actual situation to let us understand that we are still very ignorant. Yes, ignorant. "
The children in the tribe were speechless.
"Xiao Bei, are your brother and sister much more powerful than you?" Cuan Mo 'a's son asked.
"Generally. You don't understand at all how difficult the negotiations between us and them were. When we tried our best to think of something to take advantage of them, they easily offset it. This is the result of them only defending and not attacking.
Otherwise, why do you think the merchants who came to trade with you listened to my family's caravan Between the Clouds and the Water? What they are afraid of is not my family's power, but my brother's methods. Economic problems must be solved by economic means. This is called jianghu matters end in jianghu. This kind of confidence is the root of their fear.
Are you confused again? You will understand in the future. The more you know, the more you will realize your ignorance. "
Xiao Bei looked very wronged. He pouted and said.
The children in the tribe were also afraid. They had thought that Xiao Bei and the others were the most powerful. They had never thought that they would also be bullied.
Cuan Mo 'a's son gently rubbed the money with his hand. He was still worried and asked, "We took your money. What do you need us to do? For example, tell the adults to quickly become Tang people. "
"There's no need." Xiao Gang said bluntly, "If you don't tell the adults, we will still give you the money because you told us that you admit that you are Tang people. If you want to repay us, when you have a lot of power, remember to do good things for the people of Tang. When you have money, remember to provide a stable learning environment for the other children.
Passing on the torch is the foundation of a nation and a country. What we do for you today is what you need to do for others tomorrow.
When we leave, there will be a local contact station that sends telegrams to us if anything happens. Now we will teach you how to turn shells into powder. You need a mill, a fine grain mill. I will give you one and have someone make it immediately. "
*****
In the mountains, Cuan Mo 'a was hunting with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
He thought that the two of them were powerful in martial arts and knowledge, but they were not familiar with the local situation and would not be very successful in hunting.
What he did not expect was that the two of them seemed to have lived near Dianchi Lake since they were young. Their footsteps and vigilance were just right.
He saw with his own eyes that when Zhang Xiaobao was tracking the tracks left by the prey, he casually killed two hidden poisonous snakes and handed them to Wang Juan. Then, Wang Juan took care of them and put them in her backpack.
They were now chasing a tiger, so there were only three of them. Cuan Mo 'a was very nervous. He did not expect Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to be so bold. It was a tiger. With only three people, they dared to track it and even planned to hunt it.
After moving forward for a while, Cuan Mo 'a could not help but say, "Xiao Bao, why don't we change it? Tigers are not easy to fight."
"It's okay, Xiao Hu. I am going to catch it alive. There is a male tiger missing in the zoo. You just happened to encounter it. I will use other weapons in a while, so it is not considered a part of the competition," Zhang Xiaobao replied.
