The new mission of the CEO of the Miraculous Doctor after traveling through time

The sun shines on the ancient market, and the crowd is bustling and noisy. Ye Chen, Meizi, Mo Tong and Yu'er are walking through the streets full of ancient atmosphere.

Ye Chen frowned, looking at those small workshops, his mind full of thoughts: "If we can merge these small workshops, expand and strengthen them according to modern business concepts, create a brand that belongs to us, and then open branches in state capitals and capital cities, we will definitely make a lot of money."

They came to a pottery workshop, the owner of which was a middle-aged man with a face full of stubble.

Ye Chen smiled and bowed slightly, saying, "Hello, boss. We are merchants from other places. We saw the exquisite pottery in your workshop and admired it very much."

The boss looked at them in confusion and said in a muffled voice, "Oh? So what? You want to buy pottery?"

Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "It's not just about buying. We have a bigger idea. We think your workshop has great potential. If you can cooperate with us, we can provide some new ideas and methods to make your pottery workshop bigger and stronger."

The boss frowned and said impatiently, "What new idea? My workshop has been doing it this way for generations, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

Ye Chen patiently explained: "Boss, you see, now your pottery is only sold in this market, and the sales volume is limited. But if we work together, we can create a brand for your pottery. This brand is like a loud sign, so that people will know that it is high-quality pottery produced by your workshop as soon as they see this brand."

The boss' eyes widened, as if he had heard something out of the ordinary: "What? Brand? What is that? I don't want to deal with those weird things. If I mess it up, my workshop will be finished."

Meizi stepped forward and said gently, "Boss, don't worry. Just like our free clinic at the market just now, everyone didn't believe it at first, but later they saw the effect and recognized it. What we need to do now is to promote your pottery like my free clinic. As for brand promotion, we can do this. First, we can ask some famous local literati to write poems and draw pictures for your pottery, and then display these exquisite pottery with poems and paintings as fine products. Each piece of such pottery can be attached with a unique logo, which is the symbol of your brand."

Ye Chen continued, "We can also rent a shop in some prosperous areas, such as the busy streets of the state capital or the capital, and decorate the shop in an antique style to display your pottery. At the door of the shop, we can arrange some people to perform, such as letting craftsmen demonstrate pottery making skills on the spot to attract the attention of passers-by. At the same time, we can also make some exquisite flyers with the style, characteristics and brand logo of the pottery printed on them, so that people can hold them in their hands and check them at any time."

"Besides, boss, we can also cooperate with some dignitaries and wealthy businessmen. Give them these pottery with unique brand logos as precious gifts and promote our brand through their word of mouth. When these influential people use or display your pottery at parties, banquets and other occasions, others will become interested in your brand." Ye Chen talked incessantly.

The boss still shook his head: "That's different. You can't mess around with this pottery thing. It sounds like it will cost a lot of money, but I don't have that much money."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. We can discuss the initial investment together. We have the funds and you have the skills. We can each take advantage of our strengths. When we make money, we can divide it according to a certain ratio."

Although Ye Chen was talking dryly, the boss was still worried: “I still think it’s unreliable, I don’t want to take the risk.”

They then came to a cloth-making workshop, owned by a woman.

Ye Chen bowed again and said, "Madam, we see that your fabric is bright in color and soft in texture. It is a rare and good fabric. We would like to discuss cooperation with you."

The woman looked at them warily: "Cooperation? How do you cooperate?"

Ye Chen said: "We can work together to expand the scale of your fabric workshop. We will conduct a comprehensive integration from the purchase of raw materials to the weaving process and the final sales. We will introduce some new management methods to improve production efficiency. For example, we can divide the weavers into different groups and divide the work and cooperate, so that we can weave more cloth. At the same time, we want to create a brand for your fabric."

Miko added, "Ma'am, regarding the promotion of the fabric brand, we can embroider a unique pattern on the fabric as the brand logo. Then, we can cooperate with some tailors and ask them to give priority to using our branded fabric to make clothes. When people walk on the street wearing these beautiful clothes made of our fabric, it is equivalent to promoting our brand."

"We can also hold a fabric show at some large markets or festival celebrations. At the show, we hang up fabrics of various colors and patterns so that people can appreciate and touch them up close. At the show, we arrange some weavers to demonstrate weaving techniques and explain the uniqueness of our brand of fabrics. We can also give some small gifts to people who come to watch, such as handkerchiefs made of our fabrics, which all have our brand logo on them." Meiko talked about the promotion methods in detail.

The woman hesitated and said, "It sounds good, but I'm still worried that it will get out of hand. If it doesn't go well, everyone's livelihood will be in jeopardy."

Ye Chen continued to persuade: "Madam, we will do it step by step. We will not make a big change all at once. Let's try some small changes first and see the effect. And we will ensure the interests of you and the workers, and we will not let anyone suffer."

But the woman shook her head and rejected their proposal.

Although Ye Chen and Meizi encountered many difficulties in the process of negotiating with these merchants, they were not discouraged. They knew that it would take time to change these people's mindsets, and they would continue to work hard to find new breakthroughs.

After repeatedly hitting a wall in negotiations with those merchants, Ye Chen and his party were somewhat dejected. Their business ambitions could not find a place to take root in this ancient world for a while, but life had to go on, and the current difficult economic situation forced them to find another way out.

Meizi looked at everyone's depressed expressions and was the first to cheer up. She packed up her medical tools and said, "Don't be discouraged. We can set up a street stall to make a living. I will use my medical skills to provide free medical services and earn some living expenses."

So, in a corner of the market, Meiko set up a small stall for free medical consultation. She gently greeted passers-by: "Dear fellow villagers, I am Meiko, I know a little about medicine, and today I am here to provide free medical consultations, free of charge, just to help you relieve your pain." At first, people just looked at her curiously, but as Meiko accurately described the symptoms of several patients, the crowd began to slowly gather around.

Ye Chen took out his sword, stood in another conspicuous place, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was communicating silently with the sword in his hand. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

He first performed a beautiful opening move with the broadsword, which reflected dazzling rays of light under the sunlight, as if it were an awakened silver dragon. Ye Chen's feet stepped firmly on the ground, as if he had taken root. He exerted force on his waist and turned suddenly, and the broadsword swept out with a whirring sound.

The sound of the wind was like a horn on the battlefield, making the people around him tense unconsciously. Ye Chen's movements became faster and faster, and the sword in his hand seemed to have life, sometimes like a nimble snake, drawing strange arcs in the air; sometimes like a heavy mountain, smashing to the ground with a force of ten thousand pounds.

Sometimes he jumped high, swinging the sword in the air as if to split the sky; sometimes he leaned down, the sword pressed close to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Beads of sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead, but his eyes remained firm and his hands did not slack off in the slightest.

The people around were stunned, as if they were brought into a world of swords and sabers. Several children clapped their hands excitedly and cheered loudly; some adults could not help but admire it. It was the first time they had seen such exquisite swordsmanship.

After the performance, Ye Chen was breathing heavily, with a confident smile on his face. He cupped his hands and asked for tips from the people around him, with a neither humble nor arrogant attitude, like a real martial arts master accepting everyone's respect.

Mo Tong was not idle either. He found a flat iron pan and set up a simple stove. He took out the batter he had prepared in advance and skillfully spread the pancakes on the pan. Soon, the aroma of pancakes filled the air. Mo Tong shouted at the top of his voice: "Pancakes for sale, crispy and delicious pancakes, come and try them." The golden and crispy pancakes attracted many greedy children and adults, who came to buy them.

Yu'er carefully took out a basket of tea eggs and called out softly, "Tea eggs for sale. They are rich in flavor. Don't miss them if you pass by." Although her voice was not loud, the unique aroma of the tea eggs attracted some passers-by to come and ask the price.

In this way, in this quaint market, the four of them showed their talents and worked hard to earn a living in their own way. Although it was far from their original business ideals, they also felt the different taste of life in this ordinary street stall life.
