Douluo: Strange Fire Martial Soul, Starting with a 100,000-year Soul Chapter 145 - 146: Canaan City's Great Development
Back at Canaan Academy, Han Yu acted as if nothing had happened.
Dugu Bo approached him, but he didn't find anything special about Han Yu.
"Little monster, since we've started accepting refugees, the population of Canaan City has been increasing. If this continues, the city's food supply will beco a problem!"
Han Yu would never believe that no one was interfering.
Originally, there were only a few refugees near Tiandou City. And these refugees had no access to information.
They were now flocking here, which must be because soone was spreading the news.
Han Yu analyzed, "Old monster, don't worry. After all, the mobility of refugees is limited. Even refugees from farther away will have trouble finding food on the way here."
Dugu Bo smiled bitterly and said, "Little monster, that's true. But we don't have that much spare money to support all these people right now!"
"Is the factory I asked you to build finished?" Han Yu asked.
Dugu Bo nodded. "You're not planning to house them there, are you? No, so refugees are living in apartnts, while others are forced to live in huddled quarters. This will inevitably cause unrest."
Refugees are indeed a destabilizing factor, but if handled properly, they'll stay here wholeheartedly.
After all, those who've experienced hardship don't want to experience it again.
Han Yu asked again, "How's the Blue Silver Grass collection going these days?"
Dugu Bo pointed to a warehouse outside the academy. "Blue Silver Grass is very common, and the warehouse is almost full."
"Co on, I'll go take a look."
...
The two of them arrived at the warehouse. Looking at the dried Blue Silver Grass, Han Yu casually took out a piece of paper and rolled up a few leaves, forming them into thin strips.
"Try it?" Han Yu said with a smile, holding it out to Dugu Bo.
"Can Blue Silver Grass be eaten?" Dugu Bo was puzzled.
Han Yu smiled and shook his head, then placed the rolled Blue Silver Grass to his lips. With a gentle snap of his right fingers, the other end of the Blue Silver Grass ignited.
Sniff, sniff, sniff—
Dugu Bo was montarily bewildered as he watched the white mist pouring out of Han Yu's mouth.
However, he followed his example, rolling up a few pieces of blue silver grass and placing them near his lips to inhale.
(P.S. Minors are strictly prohibited from imitating!)
"Little monster, what is this? It feels so wonderful." Dugu Bo stared at the blue silver grass in his hand, as if the door to a new world had opened.
"I call them Lucky Star cigarettes. As the na suggests, smoking them will bring you good luck," Han Yu said with a smile. "Of course, this good luck is just a marketing gimmick."
"I plan to put twenty of these cigarettes in a pack and sell them for ten Copper Soul Coins."
Dugu Bo stroked his chin and suddenly thought, "Blue Silver Grass itself has no cost. So, we can make so money this way."
Han Yu continued, "I haven't finished yet. Cigarettes made from Blue Silver Grass are just a low-end product. We can also use so higher-end, invigorating herbs to roll them. Of course, the price will be higher. These are mainly sold to the nobility."
Soon after, Han Yu gathered so refugees
and taught them how to roll cigarettes.
These young n naturally learned quickly.
Within an hour, they had mastered the technique.
Han Yu assigned them to the newly built factory and appointed them production team leaders. While teaching others, they also had to ensure product quality.
"You will get two gold soul coins every month, and those who will be assigned to enter the factory later will get one gold soul coin every month. Rember, you don't get a lot of money for free. If there is a problem with the quality, you will be responsible. There will be rewards for every punishnt, and there will be extra bonuses for good work."
The remuneration offered by Han Yu is completely top-notch treatnt for ordinary people.
Each of these people was incredibly motivated.
"Little monster, you're quite the freak." Dugu Bo's expression was complicated for a mont.
"These people can't be left idle, or else they'll cause trouble after they've had their fill," Han Yu said with a smile.
As for the person managing the factory, Dugu Bo wasn't it.
Many teachers at the academy, due to limited talent, couldn't achieve a breakthrough in their soul power in this lifeti. They
usually stayed at the academy, so having them manage the factory, along with the extra inco, naturally made them happy to co.
Han Yu had naturally arranged for the safety of the factory and the goods.
...
The next morning, Han Yu and Dugu Bo arrived at the Daniu Chamber of Comrce.
The mont President Qian Duoduo saw Han Yu, he greeted him with a smile, "President Han, I've been waiting for you. How's it going? Do you have any business for ?"
Over the years, the Qibao Chamber of Comrce had continued to expand, and large chambers like Qian Duoduo's had been hit the hardest.
Most of their previous suppliers had been taken over by the Qibao Chamber of Comrce.
"By the way, this old gentleman is..." Qian Duoduo looked at Dugu Bo and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't rember where he had seen him.
Dugu Bo didn't say anything. After all, he was a Titled Douluo, and he was definitely arrogant.
"It doesn't matter, he's one of us."
After taking a seat, Han Yu pushed two packs of cigarettes made from the existing materials in front of Qian Duoduo.
After a brief introduction, Qian Duoduo couldn't wait to taste them.
After a while, he gave a thumbs up.
"Dean Han, I admire you. The price of this thing is acceptable to both nobles and commoners. Moreover, there is a huge difference in the packaging of the two products. I believe it will be a big hit."
"Boss Qian, you are too kind. Just tell the number."
Since he is in charge of the sales channels, he naturally needs to charge a certain fee.
"Twenty percent. If you give the exclusive agency, I am only willing to take one and a half percent of the profit." Qian Duoduo said after consideration.
"No problem, but I have only one request. You can open a restaurant, but you can only sell cigarettes. No smokers are allowed inside. If we discover this, our cooperation will be terminated imdiately. Do you understand?"
Qian Duoduo's Chamber of Comrce was facing a life-or-death situation, so he naturally t Han Yu's request unconditionally.
The two sides quickly reached an agreent. However, they still needed to expand the market, so the required volu would be relatively small.
Of course, the factory's initial production efficiency was also insufficient.
Leaving the Chamber of Comrce, Dugu Bo laughed heartily, "It seems they've been severely suppressed by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. They're willing to agree to a request like yours."
Han Yu shrugged. "No matter what, we will not cooperate with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
Allowing them to dominate would only make life even more difficult for others, and the refugees would only increase.
"Old monster, if you have ti, research more dicinal herbs. If you can achieve scale, we might consider selling them in the future. Don't forget the power of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire."
"Forget it. I'm not interested in growing herbs for the ti being."
