626: Make money, spend money again

The next day.

The day before yesterday had continuous overcast and rainy weather, yesterday the sky was heavy and dull, but today, the Sun finally came out.

Wang Family.

Wang Family Head was currently looking at a stone on the table with Qiong Family Head in front of him.

"Did the Ning family invest all their energy into this thing?" Wang Family Head placed one hand on his round belly, slightly furrowing his brow as he used the other hand to pick up the stone from the table.

Qiong Family Head beside him stroked his beard, shaking his head lightly as he said, "This should be the Ning family's new industry, cutting stone, miscellaneous jade, and beautiful jade into a square shape, adding some inexplicable functions, and it becomes a commodity. The Ning family is truly living more and more backwards."

"Did they sell any?" Wang Family Head asked, showing more concern.

"Hahaha, sell any? Yesterday, I saw so many people from the Ning family selling together, and they only sold a few dozen in total. Nobody's an idiot, who would buy this thing when they're full?" Qiong Family Head said somewhat gleefully.

"Hmph, after the poetry gathering the day before yesterday, I sent a message to the Ning family, saying that we could join forces to deal with the Zhou family."

"At that time, even if the Ning family couldn't return to its original Peak, after the situation stabilized, they could become the third Family in Five Directions City besides you and me. But the Ning family completely ignored my message! They still stubbornly went ahead with their own business."

"Since that's the case, they deserve to go bankrupt. Their future industries can even provide us with some nourishment!" Placing the telephone in his hand onto the stone table, Wang Family Head's tone was cold.

Qiong Family Head also smiled and shook his head, "Let them keep dreaming their spring and autumn dreams. Selling stone bricks and jade bricks, wanting to make money with this thing, is also laughable."

"Speaking of which, they're still selling today."

"Hahaha, the Ning family has gone crazy."

The laughter and mockery of the two Family Heads were quite strong.

...

Noon.

The County Office announced a piece of news.

Zhang Bing, who had been hiding outside for two years, was arrested and brought to justice by the County Office's Nine Divisions constables!

There was also a description of the case details on the notice.

Many literate people who read it were surprised to find that a thing called telephone was specifically mentioned in this case.

Of course, literate people only accounted for a small portion.

And more people learned about the existence of the telephone through other channels.

Anning Inn, a Ning family industry.

In the inn, a stage was set up.

Many people sat around, happily watching the daily storytelling session by the storyteller.

"Esteemed audience, do you know... a major event happened in our Five Directions City yesterday?"

"Shadowless Kick Zhang Bing, this villain who committed all sorts of evil, was captured and brought to justice by our County Office constables yesterday!"

"Zhang Bing was an evil person, but it's undeniable that he was also someone with excellent lightness skill. Generally speaking, two or three constables couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes!"

"Esteemed audience, do you know how the County Office constables captured and brought Zhang Bing to justice? The dangers and strange incidents involved are truly astonishing. Esteemed audience, please listen as I explain in detail."

The ye ning mobile phone became popular.

In just one afternoon.

Using the whirlwind of the County Office's Zhang Bing case, the Ning family clearly informed countless people in Five Directions City about the function of the telephone within it!

Ning family Sales Department.

"Is this the place that sells the thing that can report to the officials anytime?" the customer asked.

"Guest, you're talking about the telephone, right? That's right! Our Ning family's Ye Ning brand telephone can directly contact the County Office to report crimes. No matter where you are, as long as you see criminals committing a crime, just one call can report it to the County Office!"

"Currently, we have three models available for selection: ordinary Edition, Flagship Edition, and Ultimate Edition. You can try them out."

"Today and tomorrow are limited-time 90% off, and the day after tomorrow, the original price might be restored. If you buy now, it's a great deal!"

After Ning Buxiu's professional guidance.

The Ning family salespeople in the telephone Sales Department were truly professional.

And with their introduction, coupled with the notice published by the County Office, people's desire to buy immediately increased.

In everyone's eyes, the biggest use of the telephone currently was reporting to the officials.

For Ning Buxiu, this was not a bad thing.

As long as people got their hands on the telephone, they would always figure out its uses.

And when everyone roughly understood, it would be time to start consuming on the internet.

Ning family.

"It's done, all seven thousand telephones are sold out, hahaha!"

In the main hall, the three Ning family brothers looked at the data brought by the servants, their hearts full of excitement.

Although seven thousand telephones still couldn't compare to the money the Ning family earned in a day at their Peak.

But this was the beginning of a new industry, and its significance was far greater than how much money was earned!

"It's a pity, I see there are still many people who want to buy, but we can't produce the goods now." Boss Ning Qishan said with a slight regret.

"The reason is that we have too few craftsmen and the efficiency is too slow." Ning Buxiu came into the main hall.

"Efficiency is too slow... Yes, that's a problem." Ning Jiushan nodded slightly, "Why don't we hire more craftsmen?"

"That's not necessary. Training our own craftsmen not only requires worrying about their loyalty but also consumes resources. It's far more practical and faster to hire contract manufacturers."

"Contract manufacturing?" Ning Jiushan frowned, shaking his head in disapproval, "If we hire contract manufacturers, what if they learn the technology? If others also make telephones, then there will be trouble!"

Listening to his cheap Father's worries, Ning Buxiu shook his head speechlessly.

Others making telephones?

Even if someone transmigrated from modern times and happened to be a master in the field of mobile phone chips and mobile phone manufacturing, it would be absolutely impossible to make a telephone.

Moreover, there are no such people in this World.

"It's just making a square block. This kind of technology can't even be considered technology."

"The core technology of the telephone is all with me."

Ning Buxiu gave the elders a confidence boost.

The true core of the telephone industry is on the server that the System helped him modify; this is irreplicable.

Otherwise, even if you make a telephone, or even software, without a server to connect to the internet, isn't it just a brick?

After returning to his room, Ning Buxiu glanced at the number of telephone devices on his System panel.

Total connected devices: 10510 units

Real-time online devices: 7329 units

As the industry expands, he will need to find new servers.

After all, the previous demon soldier could only support less than 100,000 devices at its limit.

And the entire Five Directions City has a population of over 400,000, close to 500,000!

With such a large base, one demon soldier definitely wouldn't be able to support it.

He still needed to get in touch with Snake Old on the Seventh Princess's side.

In the original work, this guy was a ruthless character, who could even be said to be in a half-human, half-Ghost state, with more evilness than humanity.

If he were to approach him with his current strength, he would still be far from sufficient.

Martial Arts, he needed more Martial Arts to improve his strength!

Now that the telephone industry has fired its first shot, the situation of 'a tall tree catches the wind' is bound to occur.

Relying on Cang Poshi, one of the five acknowledged top experts in Five Directions City, was far too insufficient.

Therefore, whether it was contacting Snake Old or holding down the fort for the Ning family, he needed powerful military force!

Thinking like this, Ning Buxiu looked at one of the two Martial Arts he obtained from the poetry gathering next to him.

He earned quite a bit today, and could spend money again.
