Chapter 6711 Junior 15
Chapter 6711 The first and fifteenth day of the lunar month
Chen Xi's cognition and judgment of many things are very different from those of people of this era.
Take perfume, soap, essential oil, and honey as examples. If these things were in the hands of other time travelers, as long as they could control themselves, they would definitely be considered as huge wealth. But here in Chen Xi's case, he simply had no intention of getting them, so he gave them to others as a way to adjust people's livelihood.
It's not a question of how much money you have. If you make a little more or less of the things mentioned above, you can at least make hundreds of millions of profits a year. If you extend the time a little, you can use it as a cash cow and invest in other businesses. As long as you are not too unlucky, you can create a large wealthy businessman. But for Chen Xi, this kind of thing is not worth investing your energy in.
Sun Min, the daughter of Sun Qian, actually made her fortune by selling perfume. After she had enough cash, she relied on her father's road network planning and quickly grew into one of the ten most powerful merchants of the Han Dynasty.
Although he was able to become one of the top ten wealthy businessmen mainly due to his father's influence, the cash flow accumulated from his earlier perfume business was the foundation for Sun Min's success.
What Chen Xi said back then about guaranteeing that the person who won the grand prize would be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life was not a joke. Even if Sun Min himself did not do it, and only invested in the company with the formula and just ate dividends, with Sun Qian as his backer, he would not be embezzled by others, and it would be very easy for him to be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life.
For Chen Xi, it was not worthwhile to invest energy in these things. The hundreds of millions of dollars a year were useless, and the number of employees that these businesses could accommodate was not even as many as Chen Xi's state-owned textile factory. Making money? He had become a credit carrier of the national currency, and he still worried about this little money? He couldn't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant, right?
But if you think of these occasional things, for Chen Xi's level, if the technology is really useless, it would be a waste to just leave it there. It would be better to take it out, which can not only benefit his friends, but also improve the happiness of the people. Why not do it?
That's why there's a lottery every few years, just for fun. The winners are happy, Chen Xi gets rid of a burden, and his friends' kids and nephews can make some money, so everyone is happy.
"In that case, what's the second prize?" Guo Jia asked curiously. His son's qualifications were just so-so, and Guo Jia thought it necessary to leave some heirlooms for his son in advance. Some of the things Chen Xi stuffed into the lottery machine were indeed suitable for heirlooms.
"The second prize is a new type of tea fermentation technology." Chen Xi thought for a while and said.
This thing was actually developed by a technician under a state-owned tea house. Chen Xi is not used to the flavor of the new tea, but there are many Chinese people, so there must be people who like this flavor.
In addition, this technician expressed the idea of working alone, but due to lack of money and resources, Chen Xi decided to include him in the reward. In this way, after the lottery draws this thing, Chen Xi will assign the technician to the other party, and all problems will be solved, and Chen Xi doesn't even have to pay anything.
The technical personnel now have an invisible backer, and the resource and manpower issues will be solved by the people who draw the lottery. After all, those who can participate in this lottery are at least Gan Ning's sisters, nieces, elder sisters, aunts and other strange people. No matter what, the resources and manpower can still be solved.
The technical personnel successfully used their technology to invest in the company and obtained a property that could be passed down to the next generation. More importantly, with Chen Xi as their invisible backer, they would not be robbed by villains. After surviving this generation, they could at least become wealthy businessmen and directly complete the class transition. In short, everyone was very satisfied.
"New type of tea?" Fa Zheng smacked his lips in amazement. This was truly amazing. Ever since the emergence of Chen Xi's fried tea brewing method, the ancient version of tea soup with onions, ginger and garlic had been completely killed. Moreover, the daily demand for tea had been rising day by day, and it had even been maintained at a stage where supply could not meet demand.
But this is normal. Fa Zheng feels that the shortage of tea is outrageous. But in fact, even in the 21st century, when the total area of Chinese tea plantations exceeds 50 million mu, Chinese tea is still at a level that requires a certain price to maintain a balance between production and sales. The simplest point is that the price of cheap tea is not as good as drinking beverages for ordinary people.
Then the outrageous thing happened. Even so, tea still firmly holds the position of one of the three major beverages. If alcoholic beverages are counted, tea is still among the top three.
Many people don’t like drinking tea, but as they drink it they will find that it tastes really good, and when they get older they will like drinking it.
So a new tea preparation technology has been developed. Is this worth a prize?
"Forget it. As the host, I have to save face by playing with the black box. Let my son win it and give up the grand prize. I still have some face." Fa Zheng looked shameless. Chen Xi waved his hand. The black box is inevitable, but at most it will increase your chances of winning. You can try the Dragon Pot, which has always been a must-win lottery, but you can't be selected by the emperor.
"The prize this time seems to be quite big. Is it because we haven't done it for a few years, so we put some big stuff in it to stimulate it?" Jia Xu said with some curiosity, "I just picked up a daughter too. I will get the same treatment as Xiaozhi. A foster daughter is also a daughter, right?"
"To be frank, everyone knows it." Li You glanced at this shameless old bastard. It seemed that Jia Xu really had no bottom line at certain times.
"It's just talk, don't be impatient." Jia Xu said with a smile, opening the ink-black fan, revealing the cunning eyes of the black fox on the half-open fan.
"There are some miscellaneous ones. Actually, the third prize is not bad, but considering that the third prize winner has to face Her Royal Highness the Princess, it's better to win the first or second prize to save time and worry." Chen Xi thought for a while and said. Liu Tong asked Chen Xi to win the third prize last year, but Chen Xi had dragged it on until now.
"What is it?" Li You asked with a raised eyebrow.
"In the peanut industry, the profits are split in half." Chen Xi said with a sneer.
To be honest, this thing is definitely a bulk commodity with a very high upper limit. It belongs to an industry that is close to rigid demand and has unlimited potential in the future. However, Liu Tong messed it up. It's not that it can't make money, but it's not the money Liu Tong wanted. After a long time, Liu Tong wanted to contract it out and hand it over to other people to operate. He would provide the farm, channels, and manpower himself, and then provide a guarantee.
The minimum amount to be paid each year is set, and if it exceeds this amount, both parties will split it in half. To be honest, this is a good business. Even Chen Xi knows why Liu Tong packaged this for him, but under the current circumstances, the industry that Chen Xi corresponds to has not been adjusted yet, so he is not very willing to take over. Therefore, he plans to entrust it to others first, and wait for two years before reconnecting with the corresponding industry after it is ready.
After all, peanuts were purely an accident, something obtained by the Xu family or the Ji family in Jiangdong. When Chen Xi was dealing in oil, he thought that peanuts were not a local product, so he did not count on this and went directly to soybeans. As a result, Liu Tong got local peanuts.
Again, no matter how bad peanuts are, they can still beat soybeans in oil yield. The problem is that Chen Xi has been building the soybean industry chain since before the Yuanfeng year, and he has been involved in it from beginning to end. It is a bit too late to temporarily graft peanuts, so he handed it over to Liu Tong first.
As a result, five years have passed since this happened, and a lot of things happened in the meantime. Chen Xi simply has no time to spare to develop the peanut industry layout. It has been delayed until now, and Chen Xi can only muddle along like this. Liu Tong handed the things over to him, and Chen Xi could only let others operate them while he did other things first. After all, there are alternatives, and they are running well, so it is not to the point where he has to change.
Even if Chen Xi had not considered food safety, industrial layout, and strengthening healthy internal competition, it would not matter whether there were peanuts or not. After all, the Han Dynasty was already eating soybean oil.
"Forget it. Without your ability, it will be just a waste of time if you take it." Man Chong shook his head repeatedly, and others agreed with Man Chong's judgment. After all, from the time Liu Tong got the peanuts and started large-scale planting to now, the bigwigs in the Executive Yuan have seen it clearly.
Is the quality of peanut oil not good? Is it not fragrant? Is the oil yield not high? Is the industry extension not strong? It's useless. Even if you have obvious advantages in all aspects, considering that your opponent is Chen Zichuan, you're going to die!
I am not Lu Su, so I don’t have to challenge Chen Xi. Moreover, even if I were Lu Su, he would not challenge Chen Xi on such a trivial matter. That is not bravery, that is seeking death.
"Ah, I will develop the corresponding industry for this thing in the first year of my third five-year plan, and it will be put into trial operation and docking in the second year. Although we can only continue to make some money from raw materials in the future, if we don't mess around, it shouldn't be a problem to support our family for generations." Chen Xi said very dissatisfiedly. You said this as if it was my, Chen Xi's, responsibility if peanut oil couldn't be developed.
But if you think about it carefully, this is really Chen Xi's responsibility, Le.
"In this case, the three awards seem to be equally good. The first one wins because of its high upper limit, the second one wins because of its good continuity, and the third one doesn't bring in much income, but it's a long-term benefit." Guo Jia said thoughtfully, "That's good, each has its own strengths."
"Actually, there are some other things, but they are a little inferior to these three. However, most of them are edible and still have some prospects. I can't say that I can get a family heirloom property, but it should not be a problem to have enough food and clothing." Chen Xi thought for a while and said.
"What kind of family is this? This kind of thing can only provide them with enough food and clothing?" Liu Bei walked in from outside with a teasing look on his face, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
"Oh, a family like Zichuan's can only barely make ends meet." Before anyone else could salute, Liu Bei had already greeted Chen Xi in a teasing tone.
"This statement is a bit too much, Lord Xuande." Chen Xi said with some embarrassment.
"Did Zhou Gongjin's plan succeed?" Liu Bei did not respond to Chen Xi's words. He raised his hand to signal others not to be polite, then looked at Chen Xi and asked.
"Success." Chen Xi nodded. "Xingba and Boyan performed very well. Next, we can rely on Kunwu to take over Ceylon Island. The whole strategy will be reversed."
"What about us?" Liu Bei looked at Fa Zheng and asked.
"I don't recommend the army to take the initiative to attack. Our current situation is not very good, and many middle-level backbones are still studying in Central Asia. If we attack rashly, we may fall into a passive position." Fa Zheng said very seriously, "First, we should morally condemn the Kushan Empire and gain a moral advantage. We should use the current war situation to put pressure on the Kushan Empire as a whole, so that the other side will be shrouded in defeatism and fall into a spiritual dilemma. At this time, propaganda is more meaningful than taking action. Taking action will expose our internal problems."
Fa Zheng has now overthrown Jia Xu and Guo Jia to become the chief military strategist of the Executive Yuan. Many strategies and tactics of the Han Dynasty came from Fa Zheng, who then adjusted them based on the situation on the front line and then handed them over to Guan Yu for decision-making and implementation. It can be said that a new generation of military staff has taken shape.
By the way, because of Fa Zheng's performance over the years, Liu Bei has always trusted Fa Zheng's judgment. Moreover, compared to Jia Xu's occasional extreme operations and Guo Jia's inhuman operations, Liu Bei is more adaptable to Fa Zheng's operations.
"The defeat of the Kushan navy will cause the enemy army to not attack unless absolutely necessary, and the pressure to tear up the armistice agreement is there. After receiving the news of Meng Kangbu's defeat, the first thing the Kushan army did was to shrink its defense line to prevent us from attacking." Fa Zheng explained excitedly, "Now not only our Han officers need to recuperate, but also the Kushan officers. If the navy wins, it may be possible to go all out, but now..."
"Just keep an eye on Oswald. As long as Oswald does not appear on the front line, we don't have to worry about the Kushan attack." Fa Zheng said confidently.
Oswin was not the strongest commander in Kushan, but without Oswin, Kushan would be a group of loose sand. The problem of Kusroyi alone was enough to destroy Kushan. After all, at this point in time, the only thing that held Kusroyi together was Oswin.
Without Oswin, it would not be surprising if Kusroyi commanded the army to go to the battlefield and did anything.
"What should we do next?" Liu Bei felt a little regretful. He was thinking that the Kushan navy was half-crippled by Zhou Yu, and Ceylon Island was taken by Gan Ning, Lu Xun and Kou Feng. There was no hidden danger in the East Indian Ocean. Guan Yu's navy and infantry deployed in the Wenjia area were transferred back to the front line. He could take this opportunity to give Kushan a couple of blows. Not to mention how badly he would beat Kushan, at least he could take advantage of the chaos to win a small victory and rebuild the morale of the army.
As a result, Fa Zheng's words made Liu Bei give up this idea. It seemed that there was no room for maneuver on the Ganges River side, and it seemed that he could only rely on Cao Cao.
"There are two things I need to do, but I haven't thought about them yet." Fa Zheng hesitated. "Let me tell you my thoughts first. If you have anything to add, please help me."
"Sure, sure." Chen Xi looked like he was all ears.
"Put pressure on the Kushans, make a gesture of attacking them, and then spread the news about the overall strategic situation between the Han Dynasty and the Kushans after the defeat of the Kushan navy, causing unrest among the middle and lower classes of the Kushans. If this news is passed on, it will cause problems whether the Kushans seal it or not." Fa Zheng explained his plan slowly, "Then force Rome to quit, and we will sit down and talk about it."
"Negotiate at this time?" Chen Xi frowned.
"Deal with Odin as soon as possible." Fa Zheng said succinctly, "Odin has been dragging on for too long, and he is constantly growing. I am worried that he will gradually regain his former wisdom. You have also seen the etched runes we obtained from Northern Europe, which have greatly promoted our development in etching. Many problems that were previously unsolvable have been quickly solved after having a comparison. Odin is not simple. Even if he is just the remnant of the soul left after Odin's death in battle, God knows how much knowledge this thing can bring back."
After analyzing the nature of the Inhumans, the three empires were actually not too afraid of the millions of elite Inhumans. After all, the core areas had the means to kill such things, but Odin was a big problem.
Even though it has been confirmed that this Odin is just a regret, the three great empires still don't understand how exaggerated the nature of the Anthem is. Moreover, comparing Odin's performance when he first appeared and now, Odin is also growing.
What Fa Zheng is worried about is that if Odin continues to grow, he might remember some knowledge that could really help him fight against the three empires, which would be really troublesome.
Apart from anything else, once the alien's body of heaven and earth essence is no longer dissociated by the Mediterranean Utopia, nor is it absorbed and converted into nutrients by the supermodel cloud gas as a battery, nor is it converted into heaven and earth essence by the Han Dynasty's Xuanxiang of dissociation nature as a charging tool, then Odin's million-strong army will be really difficult to deal with. So after barely freeing up his hands, Fa Zheng felt it necessary to kill Odin quickly.
"Locust Sky allowed Odin to survive the summer. The original idea of using other talents to violently kill the White Scourge Guards in the summer has been shattered. We also have to consider some of the things General Huangfu mentioned. Whether that thing can be restrained by the means we have is also a question." Fa Zheng said solemnly, "In addition, we also need to mobilize the main force back now."
"While Rome is unable to deal with matters outside of its own country in the past two years and will not continue to have large-scale conflicts with the Yuan family, we will carefully calculate the forces at hand." Fa Zheng said very seriously, "So we will sweep Odin out next."
“I’m afraid the Kushans cannot provide so much super-large clouds. In the battle of East Africa, among the three empires, it was actually the Kushans that contributed the most. The super-large clouds they provided are the key to our annihilation of the Locust Sky.” Zhuge Liang said with a serious expression.
"It's none of my business. This is what I want. Kushan opens the supermodel cloud, and Rome turns around the Mediterranean utopia like before, and joins hands to kill Odin. If this is achieved, we will stop fighting until the beginning of next year according to the armistice agreement we signed at the beginning. If this cannot be achieved, Kushan will do the first day and we will do the fifteenth. Isn't it natural?" Fa Zheng sneered and said, "Kong Ming, you are too kind. Guess what Kushan will choose if we tell it this way?"
What the hell is the point of choosing? India only has 100 million people now, so just sacrifice some animals!
This month the author is finished, sigh

I, Xu Xian, a time traveler, dream every day. In my dream, there is a drizzle on the West Lake and White Snake takes my umbrella with a smile on her face.
I waited by the broken bridge with an umbrella.
What?! Carp from Qiantang River, you are here to repay your gratitude too?!
