parasitic son

Dohena Speed ​​of Teng Xixing is well-known far and wide. She is the vice president of the Outdoor Decoration Crafts Guild in Tatahe Town and a true craftsman.It turns the aesthetics far beyond ordinary people into exquisite skills, and then turns them into wealth.There is an endless stream of guests looking for it, and it is often necessary to make multiple appointments to get a short opportunity to talk with it.

Yan An and Principal Wu are on their way to visit Dohena Speed.In order to save money, the two of them did not choose to take public transportation.The Weizla people's means of transportation is a square iron box with tracks and gears, just like this race, dull and regular.

They spent most of the day on the road. Duohena's mansion is located in the wealthy gathering area in Tatahe Town, and it lives on the top floor of a towering building.Fortunately, they don't have to climb from the first floor to the top floor. There is a pipeline ladder in the building, which is also transmitted up and down by precise mechanical gear rotation.

Dohena Speed ​​is a gleaming gearman, and the hundreds of shiny silver gears on its body have a mirror-like cleanliness.But unlike the neat coils on the surface of most Weizlars, the arrangement of coils between its gears is extremely disordered, with a wild wildness.The cleanliness of her own gears and the disorder of the coils constitute a unique beauty, a kind of artist-like distinctiveness.

"I've heard of you, alien Homo sapiens from alien planets," Dohena said, the light-colored gelatinous substance flowing slowly behind the gaps in the exposed gears of its head, its eyes (if that can be called eyes) was staring at Yan An, and then at Principal Wu's shiny head.

"Hello, Master Duohena, since we came to the towns on this planet, I have been hearing the locals praise you. You are the vice-chairman of the Outdoor Decoration Craft Guild, and your aesthetics and skills are even more unparalleled. and."

Duohana looked very impatient, "I don't think the two of you came to talk about this." It asked, "I have an appointment below, tell me, what do you want to do with me?"

Yan An carefully took out a box, he opened it, and there was a small windmill in it.

Dohena let out a mocking smirk. "A crude product that is not worth mentioning at all. A group of idiots are buying it recently because of the alien metaphysics that I have never heard of."

"Actually, my partner and I are preparing to open a Patch Patch oil bath." Yan An said, "We are going to make a conspicuous and aesthetic billboard outside the store."

"You mean, make a windmill."

"It's a neon sign in the shape of a pinwheel."

"Yes." Yan An said respectfully, "I think under your design and construction, it will definitely become the most eye-catching advertising neon sign in this town."

"It's not difficult." Duohena said, "Since you two have heard of my reputation, you also know that my price is not cheap." Its eyes shifted to Yan An, "But I heard that you two After arriving here, I have to rely on relief food to survive.”

Yan An said solemnly: "At that time we didn't know about your place, but now we are going to start a business here. And we need your help to achieve this business."

"My design fee starts at [-] Yi coins." Duohena said coldly, "This does not include the actual cost of materials and production. Can you afford it?"

Yan An said with shame: "Actually, all the money we earned earlier has been invested in this Patch Patch oil bath, and there is no spare capacity to pay your reward at present."

The gears made a harsh clicking sound, and Dohena said in disbelief, "What are you talking about? Is there something wrong with my sonar system?"

"Although we currently have no money to pay you, our Patch Patch oil baths will be free to you for life."

Duo Hena stared at Yan An, and the sound of the gears became a little sharper, "I think you two are really strangers, and you don't know me at all."

"We know you are one of the best designers in the area."

"No one. I am the best." Dohena said coldly, "And I will never accept any bad checks. Put away your free-for-all theories. I, Dohena Speed, have never It’s all about collecting money first and then doing things. You two can go.”

"Think about it, Master Duohena." Yan An still refused to give up, "Think about it, there are two oil baths run by humans from the mysterious earth, plus the gorgeous neon lights you designed, it will be the town Most amazing place. Wouldn't you like to leave your creations at this monumental Patch Patch shop..."

Duo Hena completely ignored Yan An's impassioned statement. It called the security guards and drove Yan An and Principal Wu out of the mansion.

After being expelled from the mansion, Principal Wu said to Yan An: "Brother Yan, your lobbying doesn't seem to be working. All our money has already been invested in that oil bath, and if we can't afford it, we will hire this self-respecting person." High gear master."

"We need its popularity." Yan An said with a smile, "Principal Wu, let's wait for two more days."

Since Yan An and Principal Wu arrived on this planet, seeing that the Eye of Supervision has not come to pick them up for a long time, they decided to find a way to collect information resources locally to find a way to return to Earth.To achieve this goal, Yan An believes that he should first make money and gain a foothold.

After Yan An and President Wu made their first pot of gold with the small windmill, they invested in some other products and accumulated some funds in a short period of time.They have now used all the money they saved to buy an oil bath called "Sirun". This store is located in the southwest of the town, not far from it is the largest Patch Patch oil bath in the city "Bright Jieshi" .Since most of the passenger traffic was taken away by "Bright Jieshi", "Sirun" has been operating poorly and is on the verge of bankruptcy.The boss of this company was worried at first, but it welcomed the offer from Yan An and Principal Wu, and transferred them at a favorable low price.

In the next two days, a rumor spread in Tatahe Town. The "Bright Jieshi" oil bath will invite the most famous craftsman in the country, Buck Automatic, to redesign its outdoor advertising decoration.The news spread quickly.

On the third day, Yan An saw Dohena Speed ​​again.

"I heard that your store is near Liangjieshi?"

"Exactly."

"Then give me your windmill."

"Master Duohena. I don't understand why you changed your mind." Yan An said, "As we said when we first met, we currently have no money to pay..."

"I just can't tolerate Buck's bastard's shitty design jumping around in my city." Duohana interrupted Yan An, "I'll give you the blueprint in a day, and it can be completed in two to three days."

"Thank you master!" Yan An shouted.

"I'm not doing charity either." Duohena put forward its condition. It asked for [-]% of the profits of "Sirun" every month, and Yan An readily agreed.

Three days later, a neon light in the shape of a windmill with a height of nine stories stood in front of the "Silk" Patch Patch Oil Bath.Duohena is worthy of being an excellent local design craftsman, and this large neon sign is designed in a simple and eye-catching way.It rotates back and forth, constantly changing bright and bright colors. When the speed reaches a certain speed, the word "silky" will appear in the center of the neon light.Even thousands of meters away, you can see this conspicuous signboard at a glance.

This is a neon sign advertisement designed and manufactured by the most well-known local craftsman Dohena. In addition, the windmill at the door is now a popular mascot that is rumored to bring luck. Therefore, on the first day of opening, "Sirun" Pa Chippech oil baths are packed.

Principal Wu was busy all night counting money at the cash register.After he was finally free, he asked Yan An: "How did that Master Dohena think of making neon lights for us for free? Does this have something to do with you?"

Yan An pushed him a local magazine, and Principal Wu opened it curiously, and found that it was written about the anecdote about the competition between master craftsman Dohena Speed ​​and Buck Active.Back then, the technical battle between Dohena and Buck in the capital was extremely fierce, and the two sides often tried their best to win a client. This protracted competition in the same industry finally caused Dohena to lose and quit the artisan circle in the capital.

"I've been asking for a long time. I don't think Dohena will be able to sit still when she hears the name of the old enemy Buck."

Principal Wu said: "I understand, so you spread this rumor."

"As a great writer said, words are the wind. People with a heart will be blown." Yan An said, "We are just beginning now."

……

……

The business of "Sirun" has been overcrowded from the very beginning.The neon lights of the big windmill made by the well-known master craftsman Dohena at the entrance attracted the attention of the whole town.The metaphysical effect of the windmill is also a big bonus.I don't know when it started, "There is a lucky windmill in front of this store, so go to Patch Patch to have a chance to reduce the frequency of gear failures" has become a topic of discussion in the town.

In fact, the services of the Patch Patch store are basically the same. The guests either soak in the oil tub comfortably, or enjoy the oil mist in the dry cleaning room.The Patch Patch Oil Bath is their necessary place to relax and socialize after work.Yan An and Principal Wu paid more attention to the details. For example, all guests can choose local best-selling drinks for free after getting out of the bath. For example, all guests can also enjoy free gear maintenance consultation services.

The consultants in the "Sirun" class are several local students invited by President Wu.They are studying gear maintenance and have not yet graduated.Principal Wu put up a notice at the school gate, attracting them with the reward of free Patch Patch every day.He arranges them to be on duty in turn, and gives some maintenance suggestions to the guests who need them.He recruited several students, and actually arranged for the students to sit in class for a short time every day, so that their part-time jobs would be easy and pleasant.

There are rumors of lucky metaphysics, coupled with meticulous and considerate service and the same charges as other Patch Patch stores, "Sirun" has an endless stream of customers.

For the next week, Yan An and Principal Wu happily counted money every night.

"At this rate, it won't take long for us to earn back the principal." President Wu said.

At this time, Yan An had a new plan, "I want to mortgage this store."

"What?" Principal Wu asked in surprise.

"I need more funds." Yan An said, his eyes set on the largest Patch Patch store in the opposite town, "Bright Jieshi", "We will buy it in the future."

On the next day, Yan An used "Sirun" as collateral to borrow a sum of money.But the funds were not enough to buy the largest "Bright Jieshi", so he bought two Patch Patch stores three streets away from "Sirun" respectively.The business of these two stores is in a moderate state. Recently, due to the popularity of "Sirun", the income has plummeted. Yan An's acquisition has not encountered any major obstacles.

After that, Yan An and Principal Wu owned three Patch Patch stores.Yan An made another decision. He arranged a limited-time service for the last two Patch Patch stores to enjoy free dinner after taking a bath.

"It's going to be a loss." Principal Wu said.

"Use this service to stabilize the source of customers now." Yan An said, "Let's lose for a while now, and hope to hold on."

The dinner service at the two Patch Patch outlets immediately won over local Weizlars alike.The Patch Patch Oil Bath itself is a social occasion, and being able to enjoy free dinner is of course a good way to attract guests.

After the passenger flow of these two stores picked up rapidly, Yan An mortgaged these two Patch Patch stores again. The funds borrowed this time were used to upgrade the first "Sirun" and upgrade its hardware facilities. Then a new Patch Patch oil bath was acquired.

After repeated operations several times, Yan An and Principal Wu have already owned five Patch Patch oil baths.

At this time, he stopped buying other Patch Patch oil baths, and officially started a price war with Bright Jieshi.

In the future, no matter how much Bright Jieshi charges, the prices of the five Patch Patch stores around it will be cheaper intentionally or unintentionally. The hardware and service quality of "Liangjieshi" itself is not much better than the most popular "Sirun". Compared with the more favorable price, its passenger flow is continuously decreasing, and its business is drying up day by day.

Principal Wu originally thought that Yan An was going to take the opportunity to buy Liangjieshi, but Yan An just took the opportunity to meet with the boss of Liangjieshi, provided him with some business suggestions, and at the same time supported some funds to buy shares, and successfully acquired the other party's friendship.

"I thought you were suppressing Liangjieshi this time to take the opportunity to buy it." Principal Wu said.

"We're not going to continue buying oil baths in this town."

"Oh?" Principal Wu smiled, "Brother Yan, aren't you going to buy all the oil baths here?"

Yan An shook his head, "When the water is clear, there will be no fish. If an industry is to prosper, there must be competition with different voices."

"Why do I feel a little suspicious when I hear such words from your mouth?"

"If we continue to suppress other competitors and even buy all the Patch Patch oil baths, the aliens here are not stupid, they will fight back in groups. As foreigners, we will face the rejection and criticism of these locals. Backlash. Now it’s just right.”

As Yan An said, he stopped the acquisition business and turned to improve the service of the existing five Patch Patch stores.While business was booming, he also helped other Patch Patch stores that were struggling.

Soon after, Yan An was elected as the president of the local Patch Patch United Guild.

At this meeting, Yan An proposed a 10% price increase, which was enthusiastically supported by the representatives present at the meeting.
