”Father, what items will the family Chamber of Commerce sell?” After talking about the Yuan Family, Song Jia took the initiative to change the topic once again.
”I still have no idea.”
Talking about this point, Song Tianxiong had a massive headache, and his eyebrows locked tight.
The game had a lot more item types that they could sell compared to reality. But any special items needed the related technical manuals, which already formed up a sort of technical barrier. For example, stationery. The large Chambers of Commerce controlled the raw material market for items like jade and gems.
It was not easy to slash their way out of this competitive environment.
On the other hand, work occupation guilds like Thread directly avoided the competition between NPC Chambers of Commerce and targeted adventure gamemode players, earning beyond their wildest dreams.
Song Jia's brows trembled, as she said with uncertainty, ”I keep hearing Wuyi say that us players landing in the game world is the same as collectively teleporting to olden society. Can you discover some new item channels from this perspective?”
When Song Tianxiong heard these words, he felt amused. Since a young age, his precious daughter had been a strong woman with her own views. Ever since she started to follow Ouyang Shuo, who knew how he had influenced her. Now, her words would echo his.
Although he felt amused, his daughter's idea had lit up a light bulb in his head. However, he was a traditional merchant, so he did not understand much about the passing through time thing.
”What new methods?”
Seeing that she had captured her father's interest, Song Jia eagerly started rambling on, ”Since we went back in time, we must invent something that the olden times did not have, like glass, perfume, soap, and the like.”
”Perfume? Soap?”
A baffled expression appeared on Song Tianshuang's face. According to what he remembered, these things did not fit into the background of the game.
”Will that work?”
”Yes, it can.” Song Jia gave him a confident expression, ”There's a book called ‘Elite Product’ that got really popular. The main character got rich by selling perfume and soap.”
”....”
Song Tianxiong was not convinced. After thinking for a while, he hesitated and said, ”Do you know how difficult it is to make such products in olden times?”
”Father, you're really out with the times. Do not forget that we can log onto the forums at any time and check for information. Furthermore, these daily products are not restricted by the technology tree, so Gaia will not prevent us from researching them.”
”Technology tree?”
”....”
Song Jia facepalmed, as she realized that her father had such a low understanding of the game. Of course, all these ideals and ways of thinking spread from Ouyang Shuo to her.
Helplessly, Song Jia could only explain about the settings of the technology tree to her father.
The moment her father heard this information, his eyes brightened. He was a merchant after all. Although he did not know much about technology, he had an extremely sharp eye for the potential market reaction.
Just as Song Jia had said, if they really managed to invent perfume and soap, they could create a massive moneymaker.
”Great, let's take a gamble!”
Song Tianxiong smacked his palm onto the desk. As a merchant, he brimmed with an adventurous spirit. He finally had a direction for the future of the Chamber of Commerce, making him feel a lot more hope.
When Song Jia saw such a response, she gave out a slight smile.
Just as Song Jia was talking to her father, Shanhai City had once again welcomed another special guest.
The new arrival was a vibrant and exquisite woman. She had bright eyes and white teeth; she wore a white dress and rode a white horse. Behind her was another girl dressed up like a maidservant; they both looked pretty cute.
”Miss, is this the Shanhai City that mister is working at? It's so boisterous; comparable to Xianyang City.” The maidservant was really energetic, as she looked at the crowds of people and exclaimed in awe.
The white dressed woman did not reply, as she used her eyes to judge the shops on both sides of the streets. She was a merchant that had a unique smell for various goods. In such a short amount of time, the business atmosphere in Shanhai City had astonished her too.
Master and servant, especially the white dressed woman, even in Shanhai City, they were bright existences. As they asked questions on the streets, they caught the eye of anyone that passed by.
The moment they entered the city, the Shanhai Guard spy had already started paying attention to them.
When Shen Buhai had established the Shanhai Guards, Ouyang Shuo's first order was for him to have a death grip on Shanhai City. Based on what he said, nothing that happened could escape the eyes and ears of the Shanhai Guards.
Out of the funds that Ouyang Shuo had prepared for them, more than thirty percent was used on building up an intel network in Shanhai City. The eyes and ears that Zisu had set up through the Lord's Manor was also merged into this network.
Hence, in a short period of time, the Shanhai Guards managed to set up a network to monitor the entire city.
The unassuming sellers at the city gate, the owner of the inn, the coolies at the pier, and other such individuals; they acted as eyes everywhere.
No matter what stranger entered Shanhai City, the Shanhai Guards would immediately monitor them.
The master and servant duo were so eye-catching. Naturally, more emphasis was placed on them.
The petite maidservant suddenly approached the white dressed woman and whispered, Miss, someone is spying on us.” Who knew that such a pure looking girl would actually be so sharp.
The white dressed woman did not react and smiled, ”It's okay.”
The two of them walked and shopped. From the side door of the north gate to the north city region, the middle region, and the west region. Their last goal was the imperial city located in the southwest corner.
This whole trip took the entire morning.
At noon, when the two of them arrived at the main gate of the imperial city, they guards stopped them.
