635: Cell phone that won't turn on

"Crackling sounds ~"

After the sound of firecrackers celebrating the opening, Wang Family Head and Qiong Family Head already saw that in front of their shops, the people who had gathered had spontaneously formed a queue.

Seeing this scene, both of them were beaming with smiles.

Why else would they say this street was the main street of Five Directions City?

The customer flow here was something that even the five or six Ning family business halls combined couldn't compare to!

"Boss, how much are the telephones here?" The A Man who entered the shop first immediately asked about the telephone.

Hearing this, the staff in the shop also quickly introduced: "Patron, look, our telephones come in three grades, made from stalactites, natural crystal, and top-grade jadeite respectively!"

"Look at this feel, look at this design..."

"For the three grades, our asking price is also very low, basically cost price, from low to high grade, they are one tael of silver, ten taels of silver, and a hundred taels of silver respectively."

"The price is this high?! The most expensive one at the Ning family is only one tael of silver." Upon hearing the quote, the Patron slightly frowned.

"Alas, Patron, how can you compare the Ning family's telephones to ours? Look at the Materials of our telephones, they are completely incomparable to the telephones made from the Ning family's inferior Materials. A slightly higher price better represents the noble status of the person using this telephone!"

The salesman also had a few tricks up his sleeve.

With such a speech, the Patron's expression in front of him improved considerably: "That's true, only a higher-priced telephone is worthy of my status."

Saying so, the customer who stepped into the shop picked up a telephone made of natural crystal from the display stand: "It looks really good."

"Then Patron... payment can be made at the accountant next door."

"What's the hurry?" The A Man frowned and looked at the salesman in front of him: "Oh, by the way, how do you turn on this telephone?"

"Turn on? Our telephones are made using the same method as the Ning family. Patron, as long as you buy it and take it home, it will automatically turn on and be ready for use naturally." The salesman in front of him explained with a smile.

"It can only turn on after taking it back?" The A Man seemed slightly puzzled: "Why can the Ning family's ones be turned on directly in the shop?"

Facing this question, the salesman lowered his voice and said: "Patron, you don't know, this is because the Ning family's telephones are of very poor quality!"

"Something like a telephone is like fruit on a tree. The later it ripens, the sweeter it is. The fact that the Ning family's telephones can be turned on so early means their Materials are very poor. Our telephones can only be turned on after taking them back, which means our telephones ripen later and are better!"

"Don't worry, our telephones are made using the exact same method as the Ning family's."

"To be honest with you, Patron, the Ning family's telephones are all produced by us as OEM. From the completion of the telephone's manufacturing to its delivery to the Ning family's shop for sale, we are the ones who arranged the whole process."

"Our telephones also follow that process, they are absolutely genuine high-grade telephones!"

"So that's how it is." The A Man looked at the crystal brick in his hand, 'suddenly enlightened', and after pondering, nodded slightly: "Then give me one telephone first!"

The first customer, upon hearing such a description, didn't hesitate much and directly placed an order.

This situation occurred because people at this time knew very little about telephones.

The Wang Family and Qiong family firmly believed that what they were making were telephones.

And the customers were also 'made to understand' the situation based on the explanation.

And so, 'the scammers didn't know they were scammers', and the customers didn't know they were being ripped off.

This kind of business, however, continued.

Until all the 'telephones' in the shop were sold out, the two Family heads rubbed their hands and laughed heartily.

"Hahaha, they're all sold out! Just this wave alone, we've made over six thousand taels of silver! Not bad, not bad. The Ning family is simply too stingy. How could telephones made with that kind of material compete with ours? Hehehe."

Qiong Family Head was very pleased.

"Tonight, we must ask the craftsmen to make more, gather all the craftsmen in the city!" Wang Family Head, seeing the potential popularity of his Family's telephones tomorrow, urged Qiong Family Head with shining eyes.

Qiong Family Head next to him was also full of drive: "That's right, let's go all out. Let's hire all the OEM workers hired by the Ning family at high prices, so the Ning family can't make telephones and we can directly squeeze them out of the market!"

Qiong Family Head was completely unaware that the 'telephones' they sold tonight were already like a bomb destined to explode.

In his eyes, their Family's telephones and the Ning family's had no difference in any production step.

From manufacturing to delivery to the Ning family's own business shops, he had seen it all.

With such a process replicated, what he and the Wang Family made was, of course, a telephone!

The next day.

The Wang Family and Qiong family's telephones also became popular.

Mainly because the Ning family announced the suspension of telephone sales, people's attention was then attracted by the telephones launched by the Wang and Qiong families.

People who hadn't bought the Ning family's telephones before flocked to the shops of the Wang and Qiong families to purchase.

And during the purchasing process, everyone also 'learned' that better telephones required some time to turn on.

With a slight strangeness in their hearts, people bought home the telephones that 'temporarily' couldn't be turned on.

Subsequently, among the four major families in Five Directions City, the Zhou family also announced their official entry into the telephone industry.

Thanks to the Seventh Princess's intervention, the Zhou family finally caught their breath.

They also learned the steps for making telephones from who knows where.

Then, they launched their Zhou family's Great Zhou brand telephones.

Just like the Wang and Qiong families, they opened their Great Zhou brand telephone shop on the busiest main street of Five Directions City, only a hundred meters away from the Wang and Qiong families.

For a time, the telephone industry, spearheaded by the Ning family, directly became the most lucrative industry in Five Directions City.

Any Family with a little strength began to imitate telephones, hoping to get a piece of the pie.

However, these telephones, excluding the Ning family's, no matter how good the exterior design or the Materials used, all had one thing in common -- they couldn't be turned on.

Excluding the Ning family.

These people who subsequently rushed into the telephone industry were like digging for gold underground with pickaxes.

They did dig up gold.

However, these people did not see that they were also sinking deeper and deeper into the pit they were digging.

Looking up, above the narrow pit, it seemed as if with just a few shovels of earth, they would be buried in the deep pit they had dug, and the gold they had dug up, like burial objects, could only retain a little warmth in their hands!

Ning Buxiu saw this situation but did not come forward to express any words.

It wouldn't be long before the customers reacted, and these forces flocking to the telephone industry would suffer the consequences, and even destroy themselves!

Attempting to earn money beyond one's scope of knowledge, this outcome was destined.

Compared to matters in the marketplace, Ning Buxiu spent more time in the diligent Cultivation of Martial Arts.

However, in reality, his Cultivation and efforts were merely to touch the surface of those Martial Arts.

In the eyes of the other Ning family members, Ning Buxiu was completely messing around.

Martial Arts Cultivation should be done step by step, focusing on one discipline first!

Dabbling like this, cultivating a bit of this and a bit of that, would ultimately lead to no achievement!

Cang Poshi, the Ning family's 'number one expert'.

On the way to deliver telephones to the border Town, upon hearing about Ning Buxiu's actions, he couldn't help but call to earnestly advise Ning Buxiu.

His words were nothing more than how Martial Arts Cultivation should be focused on one discipline, and so on.

However, after the telephone call ended, Cang Poshi also smiled and shook his head.

For Young Master Ning, Martial Arts was probably just a hobby.

Why demand that a rich Young Master understand how to Cultivate? As long as he doesn't Cultivate himself into a problem, let him be.

He should focus on taking care of himself.

Thinking of the matter in Huangniu Town, a sense of urgency also rose in Cang Poshi's eyes.
