659: Recycling old mobile phones, Mingxuan Zhouzhou's home
"Really?! We can produce telephones again?! That's great!"
Ning family deliberation hall.
When Ning Buxiu announced that telephones could continue to be sold, Ning Jiushan, the Ning family head, and his two other brothers, stood up from their seats in excitement.
After the telephones were previously announced to stop selling, they watched others sell stone telephones, taking away the money that should have belonged to them, and they were filled with regret.
Today, after hearing the County Office announce that those telephones were fakes and seeing the fate of those guys, Ning Jiushan finally felt comforted and gloated.
And now, Ning Buxiu announced that they could continue to produce telephones, which was undoubtedly another great thing!
"How many telephone model inventories do we have now?" Ning Buxiu asked, suppressing the excitement of these elders.
"Uh... we only have 20,000 unactivated telephone inventories now," Eldest Uncle Ning Qishan said somewhat awkwardly, "Originally, we had been arranging people to make telephones, but those guys making stone telephones offered high prices and poached all the contract workers from our Ning family!"
"These 20,000 were made by our own craftsmen."
After Ning Qishan finished explaining, Second Uncle Ning Qishan, who was nearby, suggested, "Why don't we recall those contract workers? Now that those who sold stone telephones have reaped what they sowed, these contract workers have nowhere to go, they will definitely come if we pay!"
"No need." Ning Buxiu shook his head, paused, and then asked, "How were those who bought fake telephones compensated after the County Office confiscated the merchants' homes?"
"Compensation?" Hearing this question, Ning Jiushan smiled and waved his hand, "If the County Office gave compensation, would the streets still be so noisy?"
"Although the fines included a requirement for merchants to compensate customers for their losses, there were also fines from the County Office for these merchants selling fakes."
"Often, the merchants' money is only enough to cover the County Office's fines. As for those who bought fake telephones, the merchants themselves don't have that much money to compensate. What can be done? Should the County Office pay?"
"The only way is to convert the remaining money that cannot be compensated to the common people into years of imprisonment and send the merchants to prison to quell the anger of the common people."
"No compensation?" Hearing this answer, Ning Buxiu nodded, a plan forming in his mind, "Then like this, our Ning family doesn't need to produce telephones."
"Send people out to the common people in Five Directions City to recycle the stone telephones."
"Recycle them at the lowest cost of that thing."
"Recycle stone telephones?" Hearing this, Ning Jiushan and the other two looked at each other, "Is there any use for us to collect this thing?"
"Naturally there is use. When the time comes, just change to our own brand logo and they can be put online for sale. This time, the price will be increased tenfold from the original, after all, we were selling at a 90% discount before."
"Those recycled stone telephones made of high-grade materials will be changed to Ye Ning Second Generation and Ye Ning Third Generation machines."
Ning Buxiu had clearly become the person in charge of the telephone business.
Under his instructions, Ning Jiushan and the others immediately went down to take action.
Looking at the black mark curse in his hand, Ning Buxiu turned to look at the three servers on the panel.
It was unrealistic to let 300,000 people have telephones overnight, but it was possible to push the iron rhinoceros giant demon hammer to its limit.
Not long after, Ning Buxiu sent an exciting message to the more than 90,000 telephone users in Five Directions City through the telephone.
[Announcement: Ye Ning telephone will be back on sale tonight at the hour of Xu (7-9 PM) at various Ning family offline stores. The product for sale this time is the new generation of Ye Ning telephone, which includes a brand new software App 'Ye Ning Weibo'. Please look forward to it!]
After this news spread, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.
Because of the accumulation of the first batch of telephones, those more than 90,000 people carrying telephones were invisible advertisements.
Coupled with today's official investigation of stone telephones, it was explicitly stated that only the Ning family's telephone was the real thing.
With all these factors combined, the long-suppressed desire to buy surged again!
"Ye Ning telephone is back on sale! Brothers, charge!"
"I've long been annoyed by those guys strutting around the streets with Ye Ning telephones. This time, I'm going to buy the highest-grade Ye Ning telephone and make those guys envious to death!"
"I have to buy one for each of my Family members. How convenient it is to have telephone contact."
It was only noon now, still early until the hour of Xu, but lines had already formed at the various stores selling telephones offline from the Ning family.
Even with the heavy rain pouring down, there was no effect at all!
Ning Buxiu apparently did not expect everyone's enthusiasm for buying telephones.
If he had known this situation, he should have sent the message closer to the time of selling the telephones.
But it didn't delay things. Waiting for so long to buy a telephone could also deepen the customer's memory and experience.
Looking back on these days of rushing to buy telephones in the future, customers would have more fond memories of Ye Ning telephones.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
In the late autumn season, a rare heavy rain fell.
The cold rain fell in Five Directions City, and in the Zhou family, one of the four major families in Five Directions City, it was very lively at this moment.
"Wuji Child, knowing that you would be released from prison today, you don't know how happy I am as a father!"
The Zhou family head spoke with a hearty laugh, his eyes full of relief.
This Child was indeed remarkable. Although he was imprisoned, he had connected with the Seventh Princess, a great figure.
This connection alone was enough to make their Zhou family invincible in the Family struggles of Five Directions City!
Now, among the four major families, the Qiong family had been confiscated, with only a few direct descendants escaping with some gold, silver, and valuables, considered completely declined.
Because of the Seventh Princess, the County Office had not yet taken action against their Zhou family for the time being.
In the eyes of the Zhou family head, it was actually very simple to help the Zhou family completely overcome this difficulty. It only required the relationship between his Child and the Seventh Princess to become closer. No matter how dissatisfied the County Office was, they wouldn't dare say much.
Thinking this way, the Zhou family head also looked at the woman next to Zhou Wuji, "Seventh Princess, you left in a hurry, haven't you eaten yet?"
"I have already told the servants to prepare a table of food and wine. Would you like to eat something?"
Hearing the question, the Seventh Princess nodded slightly.
Not long after, she sat down in front of a sumptuous meal.
At this time, the Zhou family head had already left, and Zhou Wuji, who had not left yet, was beside her.
"Do you want to eat something?" The Seventh Princess glanced at Zhou Wuji and asked without thinking.
As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it. Since she was a Child, she had never invited someone of the opposite sex to eat at the same table like this.
However, the words that were spoken obviously could not be taken back.
When Zhou Wuji heard this, he rubbed his stomach and sat down next to her without hesitation, "Then thank you, Seventh Princess."
The two smiled at each other.
"Duke Zhou's Family has encountered quite a bit of trouble. I have my own way of dealing with this bet between me and Yuwen Mingxuan, but I don't know how Duke Zhou plans to solve the current difficulties of your Family," the Seventh Princess said first while eating.
Hearing this, Zhou Wuji was confident in his heart, "I just heard about the difficulties the Family has encountered. Within five days, there will be a solution! I can even help the Princess solve the bet problem!"
"Hmph, that's quite a boast." Although the Seventh Princess said this, there was a hint of admiration in her eyes.
While eating and chatting, the relationship between the two, which had been that of strangers, gradually grew closer.
"Boom!"
Just as the two were talking happily, at the gate of the Zhou family, a heavy and terrifying loud noise suddenly erupted!
"Zhou Wuji! Qing Qicai! Get out here for this Prince!"
A furious voice exploded in the rain, exceptionally clear!
