I became rich through business in the ninja world

Taizo is an ordinary resident of Konoha.

I have a job that is not very tiring and pays well.

The biggest worry is probably my overly lively niece Hongdou, like today. Before it was his usual time to get up, he was dragged out of the house by his niece.

He said that he wanted to take him to see something that had never been seen before in Konoha.

"Are you really here?"

Taizo looked at his niece suspiciously - not because of anything else, but because the place they were going to was neither a bustling commercial street nor near the Hokage Tower.

It is a corner street with no characteristics.

"That's right, it's right here. You'll know when you get there!"

Taizo's niece swore her chest and promised.

“You’ll find out when you turn the corner!”

Confused, Taizo was pulled across the intersection by his niece.

Then he was shocked.

The originally inconspicuous shop deep in the street suddenly had a long queue.

The number of people queuing up was larger than any festival event Taizo had ever seen before.

There were even people who simply came from other places - there was even a sign at the end of the line with the words 'last place' written on it to prevent people from getting in the wrong line.

"real or fake……"

Taizo walked over and looked at the long queue at the end of the street with a confused expression.

What is this doing?

"It's a blind box, a blind box."

Taizo unconsciously asked the questions in his heart, while the enthusiastic people beside him couldn't wait to announce the answers.

“This is super profitable!”

The reason why people gather here and line up is because of what the man calls the 'blind box'. To be precise, it should be called the 'lucky blind box', which is the latest mysterious product to appear.

“You can sell high-priced products at very low prices!”

"Really!"

"My neighbor tried to open the most expensive blind box worth 300 taels, and found cloth worth 800 taels!"

Although it was the kind of cloth that was so ugly that no one would buy it in a store.

"Really!"

"The same goes for my family! My son used to buy 50-tael ashtrays and 100-tael shaped ashtrays."

Although the price is like this, in fact, because of its frog shape, it has been unsaleable for a long time.

Seeing the swearing words of the people around him, Taizo couldn't help but be shaken.

If it would cost thousands or tens of thousands of taels, he would definitely hesitate, but... tens or hundreds of dollars is the price of a meal or two glasses of wine.

So many people are already playing, so why not give him a try?

Besides, didn’t those people say that there are still big prizes to be won!

With this in mind, Taizo also joined the queue and started chatting with the people around him.

"I heard that some people from out of town tried it and took away thousands of yen worth of goods!"

"Really!"

"I heard from the fish seller in the shopping street that he has relatives outside. He said so, so it can't be wrong!"

As people talked about it, Taizo's expectations grew higher and higher.

Others can win the lottery, why can’t I?

What if I am the lucky one today!

Taizo couldn't help but fantasize about winning the grand prize.

If he really wins the lottery, then he will be a first-rate celebrity in Konoha, right? When the time comes, such legendary stories won’t be about ‘a certain person’ but that he hides too much!

Taizo had wild imaginations, and people in the queue also talked about the news they had learned from time to time. Everyone swears by it as if they have witnessed it with their own eyes, but of course...

They are all just stories spread by Ugetsu.

That's right, the last thing Ugetsu asked Shisui to do was to do 'publicity'.

There is nothing more attractive than 'ordinary people who were just like me suddenly have the opportunity to soar into the sky'.

If you can have this 'opportunity' yourself, it will arouse people's enthusiasm.

What does it take for products to become popular in modern society?

It’s publicity, publicity, and publicity.

The era when the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley has passed. If you want your products to be widely known, you must publicize and promote them.

Whether online or offline.

Otherwise, how would those products that are of the same quality and still sold everywhere be circulated to shops in the streets and alleys?

However, Ugetsu still had some conscience and did not let Itachi, who was still a child, hear about this dirty adult's money-making methods. Instead, he only asked Shisui to find a way to pass on the various short jokes and stories he had carefully prepared.

Stories are more powerful than ads.

Especially when the story is still very close to their lives and still very fresh.

Seeing her uncle entering the queue, Taizo's niece also ran to the side of the store and lined up.

Unlike the blind box where there are adults, teenagers and children, the people queuing up here are all children.

Their target is the new product developed by Ugetsu-Tangxi.

This is also Ugetsu's second-hand preparation in addition to the promotion of the story.

Ask the children to be 'childcare' for a 'commission'. ’

Every time they bring an adult over to buy a blind box, they will give them a small ball of sugar syrup as a commission. If you sell a high-priced blind box, you can get a big group.

This is also the best choice that Yuyue came up with after thinking hard.

Start-up companies don’t have the money to spend on publicity, so the ‘commission’ to be used cannot be money or extra money to buy things.

Homemade is a good choice.

Discarding the ones that were expensive or complicated to make, Ugetsu finally settled on the classic handmade sweets that were once popular in elementary schools in an era before computer televisions were fully popularized.

Glucose.

Not only can it be eaten but it can also be played with.

A small ball and two small sticks can play for a long time.

It’s not difficult to do either.

Of course, this 'not difficult' only assumes that the person actually doing it is Shisui.

Making syrup mainly consists of steaming, fermentation and boiling. These are not difficult for Shishui, who has superb hands-on skills. Although the instructions given by Huo Yuyue were often inconsistent, he was still tenacious and made the "perfect sugar syrup" on the second try.

This ability really made Ugetsu feel that he was really at a disadvantage as a ninja.

With these skillful hands, why can't he become a great master and be famous for generations to come?

But no matter what, thanks to his blessing, not only the blind box as a product was successfully completed, but also the ‘commission fee’ was paid.

Everything is going well with the main product, and there is also an additional product, which is even better.

Ugetsu is very satisfied with this start.

"I want a small portion of syrup!"

"I want a small one too!"

"I want a big portion!"

"Wow!"

The child who asked for a large portion of syrup immediately attracted the surprised gazes of those around him. The envious and amazed looks from other children greatly satisfied the vanity of the child who bought a large portion of the syrup. He waited with his chest raised and his head raised, like a victorious general.

‘Oh my God, he bought a big portion of syrup! ’

——And this was something Yuyue didn’t expect at first.

Of course she knew that the plan she had made would be successful.

But I didn't expect it to be so popular from the beginning.

She really underestimated the temptation of sugar syrup on children.

You can eat and play, who doesn’t like this? Yes, it will cost money to bring parents over, but compared to the 'money' that cannot be directly exchanged for snacks, the children of course prefer snacks that can be eaten directly in their mouths, so under the temptation of sugary food, The children acted as "black-hearted cotton padded jackets" and mobilized all the relatives, friends and parents they could to "play something new".

The more conventional ones include parents and grandparents, the less conventional ones include aunts and uncles, and even aunt's younger brother and uncle's older brother are all targeted by them.

Just like red beans. She invited her uncle.

"I want to ask if Shisui Tangji is ready?"

Itachi nodded and hurried to the back to push for the order.

Yuyue never expected that the glutinous rice syrup, which was originally made with the idea of ​​using it as a 'commission', would now become a best-selling product that is in short supply and has a tendency to continue to expand.

The originally prepared portion was not enough, and there was a long line of children rushing to receive/buy syrup.

These little cotton-padded jackets are so black-hearted... No, they are so considerate.

If all sales people have this enthusiasm and awareness, they can help the company go public.

As a result, the original division of labor could no longer continue.

Shisui, who was the only one who mastered the 'perfect technique of making syrup', went to the back and worked hard to make syrup.

Ugetsu and Itachi, who had originally planned to only be responsible for running errands and replenishing supplies, were working hard to greet the customers from the front. Yuyue is even more busy and wishes she had three heads and six arms.

After she told Itachi to urge Shisui, she continued to face the customers who came to buy the blind box, a new product that she had never seen before.

"Boss! Three more blind boxes!"

"I want five!"

The blind box business is also very popular.

Probably because of the children's hard work in promoting it, adults not only accepted it well, but were also eager to try it.

For example, Taizo.

At first, he just thought, "Everyone is queuing up, so I'll give it a try," but as the lottery tickets were opened one after another, the expectation brought by the unknown was satisfied by the goods in hand, and he couldn't help it. Soak it up.

The anticipation is full and you can be satisfied immediately. From time to time there will be surprises - this feeling is really great!

When the queue reached Taizo, he slapped the money on the table very proudly:

"Give me ten!"

Others also responded very appropriately.

"Atmospheric!"

"Awesome! You are the first to buy ten people!"

Taizo smiled secretly - could he still not know? What we want is this much-anticipated effect.

He kept counting, and he could only buy six or seven at a time. So he selected the 'ten' who were sure to stand out.

Even if someone buys more than him later, that will happen later.

Tai Zang ordered 10 blind boxes with a unit price of 50 taels.

This is also the lowest priced and best buy in the store.

50 taels, less than a meal. You can enjoy happiness without affecting your life, so why not?

In addition, there are two grades of 100 taels and 300 taels. Although these two grades are not as popular as the 50 taels, they are still purchased by customers with better family conditions from time to time.

After all, the more expensive the prize, the better. Level 300 can even reach the refrigerator.

Although it is already a very backward style, so what? It's a refrigerator.

What’s so picky about buying a refrigerator that usually costs 300-2000 yen for 3000 yen?

In this era where a bowl of ramen costs almost 100 yen, this price is simply poverty alleviation.

Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle! Why not fight!

Taizo's ten blind boxes began to be drawn, and the 'atmosphere team' at the door also started their work very dedicatedly.

The so-called "atmosphere group" is a group of people who buy little or even nothing, stay around and join in the fun, and are more excited than the person involved.

When Taizo drew lottery tickets, they were more excited than Taizo.

"Look what's there!"

"Oh, the first time is a pen holder, not bad! I remember I bought this pen holder for 100 taels!"

"What about the second one? What's the second one?"

"I just saw that the winner's redemption ticket was a little tilted up! Yours is also tilted up."

"What is it? Ah, an ashtray - that's fine too, it's not a loss."

"A notebook?"

Under the background of the atmosphere, Taizo's spirit was tense to the extreme, and he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the lottery.

Another, and another, and a third.

He was immersed in this joy.

Next one...huh?

He didn't react until Tai Zang's hand was empty.

Where is my blind box ticket?

Why is this gone?

Taizo broke away from his previous excited state and looked at the table in front of him with a sense of loss.

No, it can't end like this.

"I'll shoot five more!"

Five shots are only two hundred and fifty taels, which is enough for two meals of ramen! No impact at all! I usually spend more money than this just to coax my niece to calm down!

Taizo's situation is not unique.

Others couldn't help but started buying.

"I want one! No, three!"

"Then I want five!"

The atmosphere team also cooperated very well and divided into several groups to go around.

"One more shot! Look, you've bought it nine times in total. Why don't you round it up?"

"I'm hit! I'm hit!"

"What's hit!"

"I got hit! I've seen this before, it's selling for 200 yen outside! The store manager burst into tears and cried bitterly that I made a lot of money with my blood!"

——Have you ever thought that you got this by drawing almost 1000 in the two days before and after?

"Oh my god! Someone has won the lottery again! The winning rate is too high!"

Suddenly, the atmosphere became more fiery than ever before, comparable to a carnival celebration.

In other words, this is the happiness that people who have been suppressed for a long time because of the war hope for.

At this moment, Yuyue stood up:

"Business hours will end soon, please hurry up."

???

What did you say? Say it again?
