Chapter 40 Second Time Travel
"First, you should arouse their interest in practicing martial arts, and then provide them with a meal at noon to increase their cohesion. When everything is ready, select more reliable ones to work as security guards in the factory. In the future, the hardware factory will expand its business scope, and someone will be needed to guard it day and night. At the same time, someone will also need to look after the branches opened in other places. I need some trustworthy people." Yan Xu's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, so the loyal Gou Hu nodded slowly to help Brother Xu and made a decision for his friends.

But he was young after all, and soon he became noisy again. After drinking two bottles of beer, he left with the martial arts secrets given to him by Yan Xu.

Yan Xu, who watched the other party leave, was not trying to fool Gou Hu, but really needed these people.

You can say that this group of young people are not well-educated, but you can't say they are bad. At least those who follow Gou Hu are pretty good. They truly believe in brotherhood.

Maybe he is not very reliable, but he will not stab someone in the back easily, and some of his future industries do need trustworthy people to look after them.

Gou Qiang was indeed efficient. He found an old silversmith and had his apprentice work day and night. After stockpiling a batch of silver jewelry, he added a counter in the supermarket, mainly selling silver jewelry with novel styles that were in line with the aesthetics and consumption level of young people. After all, young people don't have the money to buy gold. In addition, there were silver bracelets and longevity locks for children.

To be honest, the craftsmanship is only average. After all, he is a street vendor. He can't resist the membership points that Yan Xu has created. The accumulated points can be converted into money to buy silver jewelry.

It is human nature to be greedy for small profits, not to mention that silver will not depreciate, so it is not shameful whether you wear it yourself or give it as a gift. Therefore, the sales of the supermarket have increased a lot, and Gou Qiang is so happy that he grins.

In fact, not much money can be made from silver jewelry. Although the silver provided by Yan Xu is cheap, it still costs money. Hiring a silversmith also costs money. Add to that the supermarket points conversion, there is no profit at all from silver jewelry.

The problem is that the silver jewelry plus points drive supermarket sales, and this is where the money is made.

With the success of silver jewelry, the feed produced by the feed factory is also successfully put on the shelves of supermarkets. The feed factory delivers the feed to the door for large quantities, while it is more convenient to pick up the feed directly in the supermarket for small quantities.

There are no restrictions now, and it is very common to raise pigs and chickens at home. After all, pigs and chickens have to be slaughtered during the Chinese New Year.

But generally there won’t be too much. It’s troublesome to buy directly from the feed factory. It’s much easier to go to the supermarket, and you can also exchange it for points.

The booming business made Gou Qiang want to renovate the supermarket, because many of the goods were added later and their placement was poorly planned and somewhat messy.

Yan Xu agreed and offered a lot of suggestions based on his experience of visiting so many supermarkets in his previous life.

The development of the supermarket was going smoothly. After Ma Dejin inquired about the wood furniture factory, he found that the prospects were good and it was worth investing in building a factory.

However, it is not that easy to really enter the industry. Ma Dejin suggested starting with simple wooden doors, tables and chairs, and then selling the finished products in the newly opened store. If Yan Xu agrees, he will go and handle the formalities now.

Of course Yan Xu would not refuse, and this was also safer, so he went to the factory to help come up with ideas, design styles, and open up the market as soon as possible.

In the midst of the busyness, it was soon time to travel again. Yan Xu put down what he was doing in advance and began to make final preparations.

Because there were piglets in the pig farm that needed care, Yan Xu left five farmers behind. As for whether the secret would be exposed during the three days he was away, all he could say was that he tried his best to avoid it.

There is no other way except to stockpile enough feed, close the door and let them pretend to be dumb, because Yan Xu has no chance of recruiting people from outside.

Fortunately, there are not many people coming to the pig farm on weekdays, otherwise Yan Xu would definitely be anxious.

All the necessary supplies were prepared and fixed on the carriage, the donkey was fed with feed, the farmer was ready to push the cart, and the foot soldiers were guarding on both sides.

Yan Xu still wore the same military coat and armor, which was easy to wear and had good defense. He changed his weapon to a new, lighter, shorter, one-handed steel mace, which he hung on his waist as a melee weapon. His main weapon was a Mo Dao. The real Mo Dao had actually been lost, so Master Huo made one using the best steel he knew.

The blade of this Mo Dao is two and a half feet long, wide at the head and narrow at the tail, with blades on both sides, like an enlarged spear head. The handle is three and a half feet long, made of polished hardwood, and wrapped with a leather rope to prevent slipping.

According to Yan Xu's strength, the weight of the Mo Dao is controlled at about ten kilograms. It is laborious to use now, but as his strength increases, the power will become stronger and stronger. If his swordsmanship is slightly improved, it will be enough to chop off a bull's head with one blow. Even now, no one dares to approach if he gets angry. The Mo Dao is too lethal. It can chop steel bars as thick as fingers with a crisp sound.

Everything was ready, and Yan Xu brought his people to ancient Japan again.

For some reason, Yan Xu felt more relaxed here because he didn't need to think too much or worry too much, unlike modern times when people have so many worries.

Of course, he didn't want Yan Xu to stay here forever. People are so contradictory.

When Yan Xu arrived at Zhuxing's house with familiarity, he realized that expansion was imminent.

I brought a lot of things last time, and I haven’t used them up yet. Now I’ve brought a large batch of supplies again, and there’s no place to step in the yard.

Although it is a clear autumn day now and the debris can be stacked outdoors with the rainproof sheets pulled up, who can guarantee that there won't be bad weather? It seems that the construction must be done as soon as possible.

Yan Xu frowned and asked someone to call Sen Yu and Teng Ye over.

After Yan Xu arranged the unloading and took off his armor and changed into his casual robe, Sen Yu and Teng Ye had arrived in time, jogging all the way, and were waiting outside.

"There are too many things piled up. Fujiye will take people to Omizu Town to sell some of them and exchange them for gold and silver. In addition, I plan to build a city. Let Mori Shinobu see if there is a suitable place nearby and make some preparations in advance." Yan Xu was not exaggerating, because a wooden village that could only accommodate three to five hundred people was also a city for them.

Just now she was still pondering the current prices, and now she was a little dumbfounded when she heard that a city was going to be built. However, Sen Yu responded calmly. In her opinion, it was only a matter of time, and she had even arranged for people to make some preparations.

Next, Fujiye took three thousand kilograms of coarse grains, three hundred spear heads, and one hundred swords, which was two carts of goods, and went to Omizu Town to sell them under the protection of Taro, twenty foot soldiers and ten elite ronin soldiers.

As for why he didn't directly notify the Shimazu and Sagara families to come and buy, it was mainly because Yan Xu didn't want to appear so passive. If he did so, it would seem as if they were the only two customers.

Komizu Town is different. It is a place with four connections. In addition to sea transportation, it is also adjacent to the territories of the Shimazu family, the Sagara family, and the Fukushima family. Therefore, no single force can occupy it, so the business is more developed.

However, the Fukushima family now has an opportunity, because the Shimazu family and the Sagara family were both defeated in the battle, and it is difficult for them to protect themselves, so how can they care about Komizu Town?

What's more, the Fukushima family is very powerful, stronger than the Shimazu family and the Sagara family combined. If it didn't have enemies, it would have annexed the two families long ago. Now that they have the chance, they will definitely not let go of the key place of Komizu Town.

Yan Xu asked Fujiye to go to Komizu Town to sell the products. The first purpose was to open up sales channels, the second was to stimulate the Shimazu family and the Sagara family, and the third was to see if he could add the stronger and more financially wealthy Fukushima family to the customer list.

Although the name of this company makes people want to find a place to bury it three thousand feet deep, but now there is no sign of leakage, let alone side leakage, so it doesn't matter what business we do first.
