Battle Emperor

Chapter 6 Fang Market's Dilemma, Father's Dignity

Fangshi is not exclusive to the Xiao family. To be precise, Fangshi is a collective term, whether it is the Xiao family, the other two major families in Wutan City, or some small families, all the shops and businesses gather here. It was called Fangshi.

There are big and small fangshi. As one of the three major families, the Xiao family has several big fangshi controlled by its subordinates.

However, the other two major families also control Fangshi. Naturally, the competition between those shops in Fangshi is indispensable.

The shops of the Xiao family in Fangshi are no different from the shops of the Jialie family and the Auba family. They all sell some dried herbs, armor, weapons, etc., and occasionally some low-level magic beast ink cores. Because Utan City is close to the edge of the Warcraft Mountains, there are many mercenaries coming and going, so this kind of goods are quite popular.

In the Xiao family, apart from Xiao Zhan and the three elders, there are also many fighters. They usually lead some fighters to form hunting teams to collect herbs in the nearby Warcraft Mountains. , Hunting low-level monsters... In addition to the magic core of monsters that can be sold for a high price, the leather of monsters can also be used to make things like leather armor.

But I can't stand it, all families do it like this.

Especially the Jialie family and the Auba family. They are rooted in Wutan City. Compared with the Xiao family, they have lived for many years. They are more familiar with the nearby Warcraft Mountains than the Xiao family.

Naturally, compared with the other two big families, the products sold by Xiao's shops are not competitive. Even, the other two big families can sell more and more complete things than Xiao's.

Just like the medicine powder that Xiao Zhan used before, he bought it from Jia Lie's shop.

To some extent, Xiao Zhan, the patriarch, can be regarded as an enemy. This habit is very bad and needs to be changed in the future.

Xiao Zhan secretly kept this point in his heart.

At the same time, he finally understood why the third elder sighed.

When I came here earlier, I could only give up the idea of ​​getting wool from the third elder. Xiao Zhan still honestly returned to the latter idea, how to help the Xiao family make more money, as long as the Xiao family makes money, as the patriarch, he will fill his own pocket Some others had nothing to say.

Now, the Xiao family is already in short supply of resources, and if he still fills his pockets, it is really unreasonable.

"I already know about Fangshi, let me see if I can think of a way for you, Third Elder." Xiao Zhan looked at the Third Elder and said.

The third elder nodded and sighed, "I'm sorry to trouble the patriarch!"

He doesn't think Xiao Zhan has any good solution, unless Xiao Zhan personally goes to the Warcraft Mountains to hunt high-level monsters, but since the high-level monsters are powerful, no one can say whether Xiao Zhan will hunt them himself. What kind of accident happened, if something happened to him, the Jialie family and the Auba family would absolutely swarm up and eat up the entire Xiao family.

Secondly, even if Xiao Zhan can hunt high-level monsters, he may be able to overwhelm the momentum of the other two families once or twice, but this kind of thing is not a long-term business after all.

So, in the final analysis, for the stability of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan, the patriarch, should stay in the family honestly.

Xiao Zhan left the Third Elder's place.

As for the meaning contained in the third elder's sigh, he naturally understood that it was just that he was not optimistic that he could come up with a solution.

But in fact, during the conversation with the third elder, he already had a secret plan in his heart.

The shops of the Xiao family cannot compete with the other two major families in Fangshi. Firstly, the products of the three families are highly repetitive. Secondly, the most important problem is that the Xiao family does not have their own special products.

Things like herbs, armor, and weapons can be bought by the other two, and they have more types, so what can the Xiao family use to compete with them?
Only by creating its own exclusive specialty products and cultivating a group of specific fans, that is, buyers, can it achieve cornering overtaking in this commercial competition and surpass the other two families in one fell swoop.

As for this kind of specialty products, Xiao Zhan actually came up with a lot in just a short moment before.

For example, special products for women and special products for children.

The two masters of Ma in the previous life have personally verified that money from women and children is the best money to earn.

It's a pity that Xiao Zhan had a secret in mind, but he couldn't tell the third elder immediately.

Why?

Naturally, it was because he was not the only traveler in this world.

Xiao Zhan's cheap son, Xiao Yan is also a time traveler.

Although in the original book, Xiao Yan's identity as a time traveler is only mentioned in a few words at the beginning of the story, and it is not revealed later. The ten-year-old traverser is more like an aboriginal junior high school boy who is about the same age as he looks.

But even so, he didn't want to leave the slightest opening to let his cheap son see through the truth.

"It seems that two days have passed since the last time I saw the cheap sons!"

"As an old father, especially after their mother died, I should give them more care. I can't let them lose their mother's love and father's love. They really become orphans."

Xiao Zhan decided to test the school to benefit his sons.

As an old father, it is necessary to care about the growth of his son.

So, he quickly ordered the maid to call his three cheap sons.

That's right, as the patriarch of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan still has a maid by his side, but because the maid looks mediocre, neither beautiful nor ugly, she is destined to be a tool person without a name.

Xiao Zhan Department.

When Xiao Ding came here with his two younger brothers, he saw his father sitting on a chair, holding a cup of tea that was still smoky, sipping the tea gently.

"Father!"

"Father!"

"Father!"

The three children respectfully addressed Xiao Zhan one after another. Unlike their deceased mother, the father Xiao Zhan left them with the impression of being rigid and serious in the past, so the three children couldn't help but feel a little cautious when they were with Xiao Zhan.

"Ding'er, Li'er, and Yan'er, don't be nervous. My father called you here today for nothing else, and it's not to reprimand you. In fact, after thinking about it for the past two days, my father did indeed I was too harsh on you... I didn't take your feelings into consideration, and it might make you feel a little uncomfortable. Here, I apologize to you for my father."

"Father, father, don't say that." Xiao Ding never thought that his father would say such words suddenly. As the eldest brother among the three, he is also the oldest and the most mature one. .

"I know that my father is strict with us, but it is actually for our own good. How could I be angry with my father!"

Xiao Li and Xiao Yan also reacted, and quickly said that their father was harsh to them in the past, it was all love for them, how could they be dissatisfied.

Well, mainly Xiao Li and Xiao Ding were saying that in order to maintain the external image, Xiao Yan still followed the example of his two elder brothers more.

Seeing the appearance of the three sons, Xiao Zhan remained calm on his face, but secretly said in his heart: "It seems that these three cheap sons are smart."

If they really think that Xiao Zhan's apology is a matter of course, maybe he won't say anything on the surface, but he will definitely wear more small shoes for them in the future.

After all, this matter involves the dignity of being a father.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Zhan finally asked the three children the key question, "I wonder what you think of Fangshi?"
