Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

After this war, there was another rare period of calm. In addition to practicing behind closed doors, Zhang He occasionally went to the research institute or industrial park to visit, or went into the space to weed and look at the crops.

During this time, the production scale of the spiritual tools factory and the puppet factory has expanded several times.

With these two factories, the average monthly profit has reached more than 2 million. At the peak, he earned 6 million spiritual stones a month.

But now there are some competitors on the market.

The threshold for making spiritual tools is not high. Almost every major force is refining spiritual tools. In addition to personal use, they will also be sold to external parties.

As a result, there are all kinds of spiritual tools on the market today, with all kinds of products ranging from good to bad, and it is very common for them to be shoddy.

Some spiritual tools look very good and beautiful, but they can only be used two or three times before being scrapped.

Some people even bought spiritual tools and used them in battles with others. They did not hurt the enemy, but the explosion of the spiritual tools actually injured themselves.

The quality of these things can only be seen by people with certain professional knowledge of weapon refining. As a result, many monks who do not know how to refine weapons no longer dare to buy spiritual tools at will.

“Sir, the recent chaos in the spiritual tools market has caused a significant decrease in the shipment of spiritual tools in our Ningjing County.

Sales have been declining in recent months. This month, only 700,000 spiritual stones were shipped, resulting in a large backlog of inventory in the warehouse.

If this continues for a long time and the goods accumulate more and more, our spiritual stones will be unable to be turned around.

Wen Sheng handed Zhang He a jade slip, which recorded the sales in the past six months.

The sales data are getting worse day by day. If this continues, this business will not be viable.

In the past, many forces ordered spiritual tools from Ningjing County. Most of the customers for this centralized purchase have been absorbed. The next batch will not be purchased again until they have scrapped the spiritual tools in a war or the like.

Nowadays, the spiritual tools business is mainly aimed at some remote small nobles, who want a dozen or twenty pieces, or some individuals, who want to buy one or two spiritual tools and carry them with them to increase their combat effectiveness.

These individual customers will definitely not go all the way to Ningjing County to buy a few spiritual tools. This group of customers is also the most likely to be deceived.

Then do you have any ideas?

Our Ningjing County's spiritual tools still have a certain reputation.

My subordinates plan to engrave our exclusive mark on it, which will make it easier to sell.

Zhang He nodded, Wen Sheng already had brand awareness.

After Wen Sheng got Zhang He's consent, he went back and spent a few days designing an anti-counterfeiting mark that was engraved on each spiritual tool.

Ningjing County's spiritual tools have been verified on the battlefield and have a good reputation throughout the Zhou Dynasty. Once they were launched, everyone still recognized Ningjing County's spiritual tools.

In the next two months, the sales of spiritual tools really surged, with monthly sales rising to over 1 million.

However, this good situation did not last for a few months, and a large number of counterfeit products soon appeared on the market.

It is not difficult to carve a mark on a spiritual tool, anyone can do it.

The Zhou Dynasty had no trademark laws and no concept of protecting intellectual property rights.

But there is also a good thing, that is, all difficulties can be solved with force.

After Zhang He received Wen Sheng's report, he ordered the entire Shadow Pavilion to mobilize and find out all those who dared to privately engrave Ningjing County's logo and infringe on Ningjing County's trademark rights.

Shadow Pavilion has developed rapidly in recent years and made rapid progress.

Zhang Heqiong dug deeper and found that the reason for the rapid development and rapid progress of Shadow Pavilion was actually because of a powerful enemy.

After Shadow Pavilion purchased the Black Viper organization, it was regarded as a great shame and humiliation by the Black Viper organization, and they vowed to use Shadow Pavilion as a whetstone.

From then on, the Black Viper organization was like a poisonous snake, waiting in the dark every day. Once it found an opportunity to take advantage of, it would pounce and bite.

As an intelligence organization, we are enveloped by a sense of crisis every day, and we have to act cautiously, walking on thin ice. A single oversight may cost us our lives.

Under the supervision of the Black Viper organization, the business capabilities of the Shadow Pavilion have grown rapidly, and some unqualified members will soon be singled out and killed by the Black Viper organization.

Shadow Pavilion uses a very cruel method to eliminate the fittest at all times.

Of course, Shadow Pavilion is not a stupid kid who only takes beatings but doesn't know how to fight back. Every time he sees an opportunity, he will give the Black Viper Organization a heavy blow.

In this process of mutual training, the pair of enemies achieved a win-win situation.

Under the auspices of the Shadow Pavilion, the Zhou Dynasty's first anti-counterfeiting operation to protect trademark rights began.

With the current situation and capabilities of the Shadow Pavilion, all the counterfeiters in various places will be quickly detected.

According to Zhang He's instructions, the investigation can be carried out secretly, but the execution of the counterfeiters must be high-profile and must act as a deterrent.

The execution of counterfeiters depends on the seriousness of the damage caused, either by beheading, having their hands and feet broken, or double compensation for the damage.

As a senior intelligence officer of the Shadow Pavilion, Ying Ba has excellent professional qualities and is unswerving in implementing Zhang He's instructions.

At this time, he led a group of black-robed and masked monks and appeared quietly in a courtyard.

Ying Ba waved his hand, and the black-robed monks immediately dispersed and entered each room. After a flurry of excitement, they pulled out a group of men and women.

Let me go! What do you want to do? A middle-aged man who should be the head of the family here still wants to struggle at this time.

Jiejiejie... you carved these, right?

Yingpachi let out a harsh laugh and threw a bundle of spiritual tools in front of the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man immediately understood what was going on and quickly shook his head in denial.

What an injustice! I really didn't carve it!

Shadow Pavilion is working, and I don't need your admission. You have privately carved a total of 536 spiritual tools, and sold them all to Li Laizi from the east of the city.

Sir, have mercy on me! Have mercy on me!

The middle-aged man now knew that he could not deny it, so he could only kowtow desperately and beg for mercy.

According to the highest order of the young master, you have violated the trademark rights of Ningjing County and need to be beheaded in public. The remaining persons who collaborated in the crime shall be cut off and all criminal proceeds shall be confiscated.

The middle-aged man was trembling with fear and was excreting and urinating.

At this time, a black light flashed, and a head rolled to the ground. The headless corpse was splattered with blood. The rest of the people at the scene were too frightened to make a sound and could only look at the corpse that was spewing blood in horror.

However, Yingba did not kill indiscriminately according to Zhang He's instructions. He only broke one hand of each person, which was much lighter than beheading.

An hour later, the middle-aged man's head appeared on a tree outside the gate of Xiuxianfang City. Next to it was a three-foot-wide wooden sign with the middle-aged man's crimes written on it.

The monks who come in and out from here will stop to watch, and some familiar people will even discuss a few words.

On this day, the same thing happened throughout the Zhou Dynasty.

Many monks felt that Ningjing County was acting too tyrannically, and some monks who originally had the same idea had to reconsider.

The first trademark rights protection action that took place in the Great Zhou Dynasty had a great psychological impact on the world of immortality because of its violence, bloodshed, and cruelty.

However, this way of doing things coincides with the culture of the world of immortality, and is instead praised by some people.

This rights protection action not only shocked Xiaoxiao, but also further enhanced the brand awareness of Ningjing County’s spiritual tools, making the sales of spiritual tools produced in Ningjing County even better.

In the period that followed, the sales of spiritual tools in Ningjing County increased steadily, and soon reached a monthly sales of 2 million spiritual stones.

The success achieved by Ningjing County immediately caused other forces to follow suit.

Everyone thinks that the quality of their spiritual tools is pretty good, so they all get a trademark engraved on them, hoping to learn from Ningjing County and create a well-known brand.

For example, Chen wanted to learn from Ningjing County.

Ever since Chen Wujiu decided to learn from Ningjing County, he began to reuse Chen Ziyi and let him be responsible for most of Chen's reforms.

Chen Ziyi lived up to his expectations and built a team of research institutes in just two months.

Chen studied and referred to some information passed down by the Chen family, and bought a batch of spiritual tools produced in Ningjing County for reference.

It only took a total of half a year to successfully refine two spiritual tools, imitating Ningjing County's No. 1 spiritual tool and No. 2 spiritual tool respectively, and successfully launched them on the market.

At the beginning, there were not many families in the market that could produce spiritual tools. Ningjing County ate meat in front, and Chen followed behind and drank soup, and also made a lot of spiritual stones.

The Chen clan members saw a large amount of white spirit stones flowing into the Chen clan every day, which greatly increased Chen Ziyi's reputation in the Chen clan. The elders who used to look down on him now actively greet him when they meet.

However, due to the recent chaos in the spiritual tools market, Chen has also encountered the same dilemma. Sales are getting worse and worse, income has shrunk, and he is almost unable to make ends meet.

This once again put Chen Ziyi under tremendous pressure in the family. The elders who had greeted him with smiles before now had serious faces again, and some even gave him a few words of reprimand based on their seniority.

Fortunately, Ningjing County used trademarks to break through the tight encirclement, which gave him hope. He also followed suit and designed a mark that should be used on the spiritual tools produced by himself to distinguish them from other spiritual tools.

It's just that the reputation of Ningjing County's spiritual tools was gained through the battlefield very early. It is the pioneer of the entire spiritual tool market. As long as Ningjing County's spiritual tools are mentioned, almost everyone in the immortal world knows about it.

If you engrave someone named Chen on it, who knows who you are?

Those who are a little familiar with it may also ask, is it the Chen family who even lost his own country?

Chen Ziyi's imitation of Ningjing County this time did not have any effect, which made him have to bear more and more pressure within the clan.

He locked himself in the secret room and thought for a whole day, and an idea came to his mind. He planned to borrow the reputation of Ningjing County's spiritual tools.

Chen Ziyi mobilized a group of people and asked them to spread a message everywhere.

The content of the message stated that among the spiritual tools produced by the major nobles of the entire Zhou Dynasty, Ningjing County ranked first, and their Chen family ranked second.

This suddenly worked to a certain extent, and sales finally began to grow slowly.
