Those who are more concerned about their own interests are those who do not care about old ties, and they have nothing to say if they lose in a fair competition.
However, Shen Zha was very indignant at Manager Yu's use of such means. He was unwilling to close the restaurant, so he stayed in Changping for a few more days.
After thinking hard for several days, I couldn't think of any good way to revive the restaurant.
The decoration service was easy, but the Yong Zhou genius behind Yu was the most difficult. Not to mention his influence in the city, just the "Ru Zhou" lent to Yu was enough to attract attention, far beyond the reach of ordinary merchants.
Later, Shen Zha found out that Yong Zhutian lent "Ru Zhou" in order to suppress the fame of Baigongmen, so he thought of going to Baigongxing to take a look.
In fact, he had seen this flashlight from Zhu Changyang a long time ago, and he knew that it was far from being as bright as day, so he didn't really hold out any hope.
I didn't expect to meet Zhu Changyang unexpectedly. Speaking of this, Shen Zha suddenly became happy again and raised his hand proudly, "Forget it, it's just a restaurant, it's closed if it's closed. It's more important to reminisce with you brothers. I'm very curious about your experience these days, and I must not leave until I'm drunk."
Zhu Changyang's eyes welled up with tears when he heard this: "Good brother, although we have a good relationship, I still hope you can be careful when you speak, for example, don't add the word 'ququ' in front of the restaurant."
Shen Zha: “…Oh.”
Zhu Changyang calmed down the sourness in his heart, pondered for a while, and then continued: "But I might be able to help a little with your restaurant business."
Then he talked about the electric lights, and Chang Fengchi also responded: "Yes, your electric lights can make a room as bright as day, which is not much worse than 'as bright as day'."
Shen Zha was stunned when he heard this and exclaimed, "Ah!" "I just heard your guys talking about this and I thought they were bragging."
He said that when he entered the store just now, he heard the disciples in the industry talking about the wonderful sight of Baigongmen last night. They said that the lights in the kitchen were brilliant, as bright as day, and not inferior to the "daylight" brightness of Yu's Restaurant.
But the customers didn't take it seriously and thought they were exaggerating and doing false advertising because the flashlight was overshadowed by "Ru Zhou".
Now knowing that it was Zhu Changyang who came to Buchendi, Shen Zha understood.
With Zhu Changyang here, it wouldn't be surprising if something miraculous happened. But Shen Zha was still not optimistic: "Even if the light shines brightly, it's probably useless."
The magic of "as bright as day" lies not only in its glittering light, but also in its power to calm the mind and spirit.
"Why would we compete with them in magic power?" Zhu Changyang said, "We should differentiate ourselves."
Shen Zhai was confused: "What is differentiation?"
Zhu Changyang touched his chin and said, "I can install electric lights in every room."
No matter how magical "Ru Day" is, there is only one of them, and it can only be viewed from a distance and cannot be played with. When you can view it and when to put it away is decided by the store.
He can install electric lights in every room and add a switch so that each guest can control it and use the light at any time.
The magic power cannot compare to that of "daylight", but the convenience is definitely far superior.
Shen Zha was stunned: "Can you install this lamp like this?"
If this is true, then we can really compete with the Yu family again.
Monks may value the benefits of "like daylight", but ordinary merchants who want to check accounts will definitely spend more time in the room. If this room can be equipped with electric lights, it will definitely be more attractive to these people.
Shen Zha quickly judged the value of this matter and immediately slapped his thigh: "Great, it's settled."
"Are you sure?" Zhu Changyang reminded, "Yu's advantages are more than just 'like daylight'."
The influence that Yong Zhoutian has brought to the Yu family is probably a more long-term problem.
"Hey, you don't know this." Shen Zha shook his finger. "Yong Zhoutian is not a pushover. He won't let the Yu family take advantage of him for nothing. Manager Yu must have paid a heavy price to borrow 'Ru Zhou'. He probably wants to kick our family out as soon as possible so that he can sit back and relax in the future. If he continues to waste time, he will pay a heavy price and will definitely be anxious by then..."
At this point, Shen Zha paused and continued leisurely, "It doesn't matter if I lose. The worst that can happen is that I will lose some more money. Brothers, don't worry about me."
His tone was relaxed, and it was obvious that he did not take the loss seriously.
Zhu Changyang burst into tears: "Thank you, I won't worry anymore."
The matter was settled. As Zhu Changyang's apprentice, Jie Li was not allowed to interrupt and had been listening silently. At this moment, he could not help but speak up, rubbing his hands excitedly: "Master, should we start selling generators?"
The restaurant uses so many lights, so it must be equipped with a generator.
Jie Li had long been optimistic about this market, but for some reason, Zhu Changyang, who was always keen on making money, never mentioned selling generators, so he didn't know how to act on his own.
Now, taking the Shen family's restaurant as a precedent, it is simply the best demonstration. By then, the rich people in the city will definitely be tempted.
In just a few moments, Jie Li had already prepared a large list of target customers in his mind and thought of various sales plans.
The generator is just the beginning. The large amount of fuel consumed subsequently must also be purchased from them. This is a continuous business.
Just as I was daydreaming, I saw Zhu Changyang wave his hand and smiled: "No, I plan to build a power plant."
"Ah?" Jie Li was stunned. What is this
Not only him, but everyone else had the same question.
Zhu Changyang briefly explained the concept of a power plant.
Zhu Changyang had this idea since he invented the generator, but the situation was not mature before and he had no fixed place to live, so he could not put it into action.
This time when he returned to Buchendi, he received a large dividend from Baigongmen. With the accumulation of this year, the most basic economic conditions were already in place.
After seeing the scene of the largest mortal city in Piaomiao Continent today, Zhu Changyang felt that the location could be decided.
The matter of Shen Zha’s restaurant was actually just an opportunity.
Studio:
[Wow, they're actually going to build a real power grid! ]
[Don’t mention it, this place is well chosen, there are many people and money! ]
The few natives of the cultivation world present had never thought that "electricity" could be sold in this way, but after listening to the explanation, they found it very reasonable.
Compared with selling generators, generating electricity and selling it is undoubtedly more stable and long-term, and can also allow more people to use it.
Jie Li's face turned red with excitement: "Master is still better!"
Zhu Changyang coughed lightly and said that it was nothing but the wisdom of modern people.
However, building a power plant is a rather complicated matter, as the land use issue must be resolved first.
Chang Fengchi said: "If you can trust me, please let me do this."
The Baigong Sect has been operating on both sides of the Penxue River for many years and is very familiar with Changping. As the Baigong industry prospers, its reputation and status also rise, and it can also have a say in front of the city lord.
It would be most appropriate to let him handle matters like land use.
Zhu Changyang agreed naturally: "Then thank you for your help."
Chang Fengchi joked, "In this way, you brothers will have disciples who can practice martial arts and a place to make a living. You can definitely start a sect."
Once the power plant was built, Zhu Changyang would have all the elements.
Jun Shu, who had been playing with the cat silently, suddenly perked up: "That makes sense."
"Then this sect is too small." Zhu Changyang sweated profusely and complained, "There are only two people in total."
"Don't underestimate yourself." Jun Shu picked up the black cat and put it on the table. "We can let the developer join us, so there will be three of us."
Zhu Changyang: “…”
Jie Li asked weakly, "The two people Master mentioned, one of them should be me, right?"
He is Zhu Changyang's only disciple.
Jun Shu was silent for a moment, and glared at Zhu Changyang: "Who are you talking about these two people?"
Zhu Changyang calmly replied: "Oh, it's you and Jie Li."
Jun Shu: “…”
other people:"… "
.
Chang Fengchi then went to take care of the land use for the power plant.
But building a factory cannot be completed overnight, and Shen Zha could not wait that long. After much deliberation, he decided to buy a generator first.
Facing the former number one on the list, Zhu Changyang naturally would not refuse. Besides, if this restaurant was well managed, it would be a living signboard of the power plant in the future.
Therefore, he not only sold the generator to Shen Zha, but also packed it for him. Then, together with Jun Shu, Mao and Jie Li, he followed Shen Zha to the restaurant to work as an electrician.
Shen's Restaurant is located in a prosperous street in the city. It covers a large area and is quite impressive, but it is a bit old and not as glamorous as when it was first built.
And just across from Shen's, there was indeed a new restaurant with very similar decoration, which was no less luxurious than Shen's.
With this contrast, the Shen family looks even more outdated.
The contrast between the two businesses is also very stark. The business on the opposite side is bustling with people coming and going, but there are very few people in front of Shen's business.
Zhu Changyang glanced at the restaurant across the street and asked, "Is that the restaurant owned by Manager Yu?"
"That's right." Shen Zha said with a "tsk". "I've decided. If I want to continue running the business, I can't lose to them. In the next two days, I'll ask craftsmen to come over and renovate the restaurant. Then I'll install your lights and make sure it becomes the brightest building on this street!"
Zhu Changyang laughed: "Okay."
The group was about to walk towards the door when they suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings and the shrill chirping of birds in the distance, followed by the noise of a crowd.
"Isn't that Yong Zhoutian's flying chariot?"
"Oh, the Immortal Master Yong Zhoutian is here at Yu's Restaurant again."
"Shopkeeper Yu is really impressive."
A few people looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dense group of emerald birds flying in the clear blue sky, pulling a flying chariot behind them.
The bird was very fast and it flew above Yu’s Restaurant in an instant before slowly landing.
The carriage door opened and a young man walked out first.
A middle-aged man ran out of the restaurant, grabbed him, and shouted earnestly: "Si Gong, why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"
Shen Zha sneered and said, "That's Shopkeeper Yu and Yu Sigong."
Yu Sigong replied, "I was doing some business with Senior Brother Hou, and Senior Brother suddenly wanted to come over for a drink, so he left in a moment."
As he spoke, he made a hand gesture to lift the curtain hanging at the door of the chariot, made a gesture of invitation, and another young man in gorgeous clothes came out.
Zhu Changyang felt that this person looked familiar, so he asked, "Who is this?"
The scene was too grand.
Shen Zha shook his head: "I don't know this person."
Then Jie Li exclaimed, "He is Elder Hou's only son, my former senior brother."
Zhu Changyang suddenly realized: "That Hou Shiyun?"
Jie Li nodded: "That's him."
It turned out that the latter young man was Hou Shiyun, the most popular new-generation weapon refiner in Yong Zhoutian.
Before losing his spiritual roots, Jie Li became a disciple of Elder Yong Zhou Tian Hou and became Hou Shiyun's junior fellow apprentice. The two had also trained together, so he recognized him.
Hou Shiyun arrived at the last minute and Shopkeeper Yu had not made any preparations in advance. There were quite a few people in front of the restaurant, and when the flying sedan landed, the crowd could only dodge in a hurry. In a panic, a child cried out "wow".
"What are you arguing about?" Shopkeeper Yu was afraid of disturbing Hou Shiyun. Seeing that the child was dressed in ordinary clothes and was not a person of status, he rudely signaled his men to drive him away, "Go quickly, don't block the road."
"Isn't flying prohibited in the city?" Zhu Changyang was immediately dissatisfied, "How could they drive the flying chariot in?"
He knew that the leaders of the major sects had immunity and were not bound by these prohibitions when riding in a chariot.
Hou Shiyun was only a disciple of Yong Zhoutian, not the sect leader. How could he fly straight to the ground so brazenly
Shen Zha said, "What is Yong Zhoutian's position in Changping Territory? Why are you talking about this?"
"Hmph." Jun Shu sneered, took out a few speakers from his pocket, turned up the volume to maximum with extremely fast hands, and then made a gesture to fly the speakers near the group of spirit birds pulling the flying chariot.
When the switch was turned on, a fierce cat cry suddenly sounded.
At the same time, the huge high beam and laser pen were turned on, and a beam of strong white light and red light pierced the eyes of the spirit bird. The spirit bird was suddenly frightened and instantly became chaotic, flapping its wings wildly, flying in all directions, and even overturned the flying chariot.
crowd:
Zhu Changyang and others:
Hou Shiyun and Yu Sigong:? !!!
Studio:
[? ? ? No, is Jun Shu the Demon Lord? Can you be more sophisticated in your operation? ]
[It’s hard to say whether he is a noble one or not, but he is definitely a demon. He has no manners! ]
The author has something to say:
Xiaoci: Who are you saying has no manners
