Chapter 149 Ocean Star!
Because Yu Yue only made a trial product to provide to the store employees for team-building, so don't even mention promotion.
She hadn't even told anyone else.
As for sales plans, that would come later - since she had the one-of-a-kind product in her hands, she wasn't afraid of not having customers.
So she continued to leisurely carry out her team-building journey.
Enjoy the sea breeze and eat seafood.
If you feel tired, go for a massage; if you feel sleepy, take a comfortable nap.
It's so beautiful.
But for others who heard the news, it was urgent, very urgent.
As someone who wants to play Desert Star in order to "create a desert".
Of course, the nobles of the Water Kingdom would not miss out on a new thing like the 'Sea Star'.
What's more, this is something that is 100% suitable for the Water Kingdom. Isn't it his best weapon to show off?
No, it should be said that if someone else gets this thing before him, then he would really lose face.
Who would allow others to get something new that they don’t have on their own territory?
He even felt a little resentful towards Yu Yue.
After all, he is a business partner. Why didn’t you inform him when you had such a good thing?
Are you still afraid that he won’t give you the money?
No, he had to find an opportunity to prove to his partner that money was not a problem for him.
For the Fourth Mizukage, it was even simpler - the Sand Village was built on the strength of the 'Desert Star', so how could the Mist Village miss out on such a fitting 'Ocean Star'?
Apart from anything else, isn't the seabed with everything there much more beautiful than the bare sand beneath?
The Wind Kingdom and the Hidden Sand Village, which only have sand, can rise up with this, so how can their Water Kingdom and their Hidden Mist Village not be able to do the same?
——But the prerequisite for all this is that they must first be able to capture this Ocean Star.
Therefore, no matter what is said or how much blood is shed, they will do it.
The stars of the sea! They are the ones!
And you have to get it before everyone else.
So as soon as Yu Yue's boat docked, they saw a sea of people at the port.
Ugetsu blinked.
What the hell?
I haven't heard of any large-scale transportation or activities today?
In the rainy month
When he got off the boat with a confused look on his face, the representative of the great nobles could not hold back and came forward to greet him first.
"Ms. Yu Yue, we have been waiting for you for so long!"
Yu Yue slowly typed a question mark.
Let’s not talk about the fact that I never asked you to wait… Let’s talk about you…
Yu Yue looked him up and down, but couldn't remember the identity of the person in front of him.
"He is an attendant of the Water Country nobles. He was with us during the last meeting."
Noticing Yu Yue's confusion, Uchiha Shisui immediately leaned close to her ear and whispered a reminder.
Yu Yue immediately showed a look of understanding and spoke in a friendly manner.
"No, do you have any suggestions on work?"
Talking about the recent interactions with the nobles, this is probably the case.
"How could that be? When Miss Yu Yue does things, our Lord always trusts her."
The follower shook his head, and then pretended to be a little angry and said:
"Ms. Yu Yue, our master and you have a long-standing friendship... Why are you still hiding it?"
What am I hiding?
Then, before Yu Yue could ask for the news, the other party took the initiative to speak:
"Ocean Star... This is clearly your gift to our Water Country. How could you hide such great news and such a good thing so deeply?"
So that's what it was.
Yu Yue felt more or less confident.
"Don't worry." The attendant patted his chest and assured. "Our master said that Miss Yu Yue is so thoughtful for our Water Country, he will definitely not let Miss Yu Yue suffer any loss."
"For this Ocean Star, feel free to quote your price. We will buy three first."
——Wow, this is a real rich man.
Without even asking for a quote, he just said he wanted three ships.
Even though Yu Yue had handled many big deals and personally ordered many "expensive products", at this moment she was still shocked for a second by the generosity of the nobles of the Water Kingdom.
"This Ocean Star is still in trial production..."
“It’s okay, we understand, so we just follow Miss Yu Yue’s old rules and pay the deposit first.”
As if afraid that Yu Yue would refuse, the attendant who spoke on behalf of the great nobles of the Water Kingdom quickly waved his hand and had two boxes delivered.
After opening it, the piles of money were dazzling.
"If that's not enough, we can also
have."
The representative of the Hidden Mist Village, who had allowed his entourage to step forward to communicate out of respect for the great nobles, could no longer hold back when he heard this.
My goodness, three ships came up at once... You have taken up all the construction time, what should we do in the Hidden Mist Village?
The nobleman bought this just for fun, so it doesn't matter when he gets it, and it doesn't matter if he gets it a day earlier or later...
But we are different, we still have to hold the Chunin Exam!
It's like one person buys a car for vacation, while another person buys a car for work...in terms of urgency, the latter is more urgent no matter how you look at it.
Whether the Hidden Mist Village can make a comeback depends on this one move.
"Ms. Yu Yue, we are the ones who need the Ocean Star the most!"
The representative of the Hidden Mist Village had a serious look on his face.
"Ms. Ugetsu, this is also for the Chunin Exams."
That's the Chunin Exams, after all, it's about promoting and making money for Ms. Ugetsuki.
Of course, they would definitely not let Miss Yu Yue suffer any loss.
Although the economic situation of the Hidden Mist Village is not as good as that of the Hidden Sand Village, it is still one of the five major ninja villages.
There is always money if you squeeze it.
Especially since the Fourth Mizukage said 'at any cost'.
So he quickly spoke:
"Don't worry, Miss Yu Yue. We know that the Ocean Star must be very expensive, and we will definitely not embarrass you on the price."
The nobleman's entourage changed their expressions on the spot.
He looked at the representative of the Hidden Mist Village viciously.
Good boy.
How dare you, a ninja, come and snatch from our master?
The representative of the Hidden Mist Village certainly noticed the look on his follower's face - under normal circumstances, he would definitely not be so foolish as to snatch things from a famous noble.
But now is the critical moment to decide the fate of the Hidden Mist Village.
Even if I have to apologize to the nobles later, I cannot give up on the construction period now.
“I was here first!”
"We have to prioritize!"
Before Yu Yue could speak, the two sides started arguing.
Ugetsu: ...
There was no sign of anything happening, so how could these two people be arguing so enthusiastically?
Just as the two were arguing with each other, a third voice came in.
"I'll pay twice as much! No matter what the price is, I'll pay twice as much! Give me one first!"
The two turned their heads and saw a
The chubby man was running over, panting.
Noticing that others were looking at him, he quickly wiped the sweat off his face and repeated:
"Whatever your price, we'll pay double! In cash! As long as it's done as soon as possible... No, sell the first one to me!"
?
Now the nobles' entourage and the representatives of the Hidden Mist Village were all stunned.
Where are you from?
"We provide the materials!"
The representative of the Hidden Mist Village suddenly had an idea.
The Ocean Star is so special, it must have used a lot of special materials?
They provide the materials!
That way, the stakes can always be raised.
The nobleman's follower raised an eyebrow?
"We can provide the materials and double the price!"
“You can pay now.”
Cash, who doesn’t have it?
He glanced at the chubby 'third person'.
Just kidding, they never lose when it comes to money.
The three of them were so absorbed in the competition that they had completely forgotten about Yu Yue, the real party involved.
She had no choice but to take a step forward.
"Although I appreciate your enthusiasm, Ocean Star is still in the development and testing phase..."
Before Yu Yue finished speaking, someone immediately said:
"It's even okay if it's a beta version, just sell it to me!"
Are you kidding? This is something you can play with while diving in the sea!
Once the news gets out, it won’t be their turn.
If they don't seize the opportunity now, how will they get a share later?
You know, the new products in Yuyue Store are notoriously difficult to buy even if you have a lot of money.
If we don’t get it done here, how can we report back?
"There is no way a beta version can guarantee 100% security."
Yu Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
What is going on?
She hasn't even figured out how to make money, but people are already rushing to put money into her pocket?
"What else do you need? Whatever it is, we can find a way!"
The representative of the Hidden Mist Village spoke first.
He was a ninja after all, so he was the first to react.
Since Miss Yu Yue said that it is still under testing...then why don't they just contribute their manpower to complete this 'test'?
As long as I can make it to the Chunin Exam, everything will be fine.
"Yes, we can also provide help! What does Miss Yu Yue need?
, just say it. "
This is right at my doorstep.
If he really missed it, it would be strange if the master didn't punish him.
The following scramble for money also opened the eyes of the people on the boat.
The old employees of Yuyue Store are fine, only the new temporary workers and the escorting ninjas...
They had never seen such a scene before, where someone cried and shouted to give money to others, and was afraid that the other party would not accept it.
They have only seen employers who try their best to lower the price during the mission for various reasons.
They are both spending money, so why is there such a big difference?
They don't understand.
“…Is it so easy to make money?”
One of the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village couldn't help but mutter.
But if that is true, then what is the point of working so hard just to earn a living?
Are there really such big differences between people?
"That probably depends on the situation."
The other companion still retained some of his sanity.
Although he couldn't understand why some people would cry and shout to give money, fearing that it would not be their turn to spend it - especially since these people included people from their own village.
After all, for pragmatic ninjas, there is only a lack of money in the world, but there is never a lack of places to spend money.
If you can’t spend it here, then just buy it somewhere else.
It's like if there are no apples, then I can eat peaches too.
...However, looking at this scene, it is not difficult to understand why the treatment in Yuyue Store is so good.
Given the situation where people are scrambling to give money, the money left to provide welfare benefits to store employees is probably very limited.
In comparison, the precarious life of a ninja in the Hidden Mist Village is really...
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore.
If you think about it any more, something bad will happen.
The ninja from the Hidden Mist Village shook his head and discarded the outrageous idea in his mind.
But when he noticed the staff of Ugetsu Store around him, he couldn't help but ask:
"Is this situation common?"
"Not really."
The employee of the nearby Yuyue store shook his head.
That's good.
Even though it had nothing to do with them, the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village still felt strangely relieved.
If it happens by chance, it happens to everyone.
!
Suddenly I felt very lucky.
Or suddenly you hit the jackpot... or even make an unexpectedly large profit or something.
Not strange, not strange.
As long as you live long enough...
"Maybe a few times a year."
However, the next words from the Yuyue store employee instantly made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave.
After all, what he understood as 'occasionally' was that it happens once or twice in life.
Instead of discussing it in terms of years or quarters!
I always feel that they have some problems understanding the word "common".
The employees of Yuyue Store didn't think there was anything wrong with what they said.
For them, this kind of situation, which only happens two or three or three or five times a year, is indeed an uncommon occurrence.
However, although it is not common, every time it appears, it represents a major project for Yuyue Store.
For quite a long time to come, Yu Yue Store and its branches may be busy with this order.
For example, the Desert Star in the past.
And a baby stroller...
"It's time to get busy again."
"Yes, but it's a good thing - after all, we had so much fun, it's time to go back and work hard."
They even started discussing the follow-up work.
There was some impatience in the conversation.
This enthusiasm for work is somewhat enviable.
Noticing the loss of the Kirigakure ninja, the man turned around and asked curiously:
"Ninjas also have high returns."
Ninja from the Hidden Mist Village: ...How can they be the same?
Ninjas have high earnings, but they risk their lives for it.
You also have to face tricky and stingy customers from time to time.
There is no other good business like this where people are rushing to give away money.
The man saw that the Mist Village Ninja didn't say anything and thought that the other party was not convenient to talk about his own income, so he nodded "considerately".
"It's okay. I understand."
Ninjas have high incomes.
It's normal to be afraid of irritating us and not be able to say it.
——You know nothing.
The Kirigakure ninja almost spoke.
Fortunately, his strong self-control as a ninja allowed him to control his mouth in time.
I can't stay here any longer.
If he continued like this, he might really want to put into practice the outrageous idea in his heart.
The ninja from the Hidden Mist Village left in a confused manner with "hmmmm" and "ahhh".
In fact, it’s not that he doesn’t love the village where he was born.
But over the years, there have been so many strange things and bloody incidents in the village.
Although they really want to work hard to do something.
But to be honest, they see absolutely no hope.
I don’t know what is the right thing to do.
I don't know what to do to make myself feel better.
So when he looked at the people in Yuyue Store, he was a little envious.
At least they know what they are doing.
I also know what I do and what kind of gains and future it can bring to myself.
After half a day of negotiation and communication, Yu Yue finally reached an agreement on the unexpected project, "Ocean Star".
——If Yu Yue Express was an accident, then this 'Ocean Star' was a derivative of the accident.
In fact, Yu Yue had never expected that the pie that she had planned to draw for the nobles of the Water Kingdom would be realized in this way today.
To be honest, when I was in the Sand Village, it was just a pie.
The food (money) has been delivered to our mouths, so we can’t let our customers down, right?
Therefore, the current conclusion is that, except for the two people from the Hidden Mist Village, they all have the first right to purchase the Ocean Star.
When the ship officially goes into production, the first two to be produced will definitely be theirs.
Of course, who will be the first and who will be the second...we can bid for that later.
Seeing that it was impossible to buy the ready-made 'Sea Star', both parties had no choice but to accept this result.
However, they also said that their owners hope to be the first to enjoy the fun of visiting the sea star.
Yu Yue also agreed.
He also said that after the Yu Yue store conducts 2-3 more safety tests, they can come and experience it at any time.
Seeing Yu Yue so happy, the two of them looked at each other for the last time and hurried away, reporting the results of their hard work today to their respective masters.
As for bidding to buy the 'first ship' or something like that... it's a problem that can be solved with money, is it a problem?
Just wait and see, then you will know who is the real strong one!
And here in the Hidden Mist Village.
Although they did not get the right to buy.
But they got the 'right to use'
.
The existing Ocean Star, as well as the upcoming trial version of the Ocean Star, will serve the Hidden Mist Village during the Chunin Exams.
Of course it's not free.
In addition to part of the rent, the Hidden Mist Village will also have to provide a considerable amount of manpower and material resources to ensure the construction progress of the Ocean Star.
If they need to continue using the Ocean Star afterwards, they have two options: "rent" or "buy".
After a meeting, the Hidden Mist Village also approved this plan.
To be honest, they were relieved that they didn't have to compete directly with the nobles of the Water Kingdom.
After all, he is the person in power who can make the Hidden Mist Village feel uncomfortable with just a wave of his hand.
If possible, they really don't want to confront others.
In other words, it is not an exaggeration to say that Miss Yu Yue's proposal is the best solution for them at the moment.
There is no need to compete with local authorities, and the financial situation of the Hidden Mist Village can be guaranteed... Indeed, the rent of the Ocean Star, and the manpower and material resources that need to be mobilized are not small.
But it is still much cheaper than buying it through bidding.
Ms. Ugetsu, you really touched the Hidden Mist Village.
The Kirigakure naturally cooperated with the idea - if Yu Yue's reputation among the upper echelons of Kirigakure was just 'respect' before, it can now be said to be 'admiration'.
The distance to "worship" may be just a little bit.
But there were also people whose eyes twitched when they saw the grateful expressions on the faces of the people in the Hidden Mist Village.
At the internal meeting of the Ugetsuki Store after the people from the Hidden Mist Village left, Jiraiya couldn't help rubbing his face.
"Are these really people from the Hidden Mist Village... No, do they really not feel anything is wrong?"
Asking people to contribute their manpower and effort, and saying it's 'for your own good'...it doesn't sound right, does it?
He muttered quietly to Tsunade beside him.
“Maybe….”
Tsunade said uncertainly.
Of course she felt there was something wrong.
But like Kakashi before her, she couldn't tell what the 'problem' was.
After all, this process is so logical.
It was so smooth that she really felt like 'the Hidden Mist Village seemed to have made a profit' and that the Fourth Mizukage really needed to thank her.
"Two of you over there, please take this meeting seriously."
Just when Jiraiya was about to whisper something to Tsunade
Wait, Yu Yue's voice arrived first.
"yes!"
"Feel sorry!"
The two quickly drew their attention back.
——Since you feel that the Hidden Mist Village has not suffered any loss.
That's probably really for their own good...
Yu Yue certainly didn't know how many ideas the others had extended.
She just began to urgently adjust her work priorities.
Of course, team building must continue, but the time will definitely be shortened.
After all, the testing and construction of Ocean Star cannot be completed in three to five days. If you want to catch up with the Chunin Exam, you must start moving forward now.
——Of course, the celebration banquet and bonuses will definitely not be missed.
She will definitely not get a penny less than what she deserves.
Just this amount of money can keep the talents of Yuyue Store, which is much more cost-effective than 100 subsidies.
On the other hand, since it was already related to the Chunin Exam, Ugetsu decided to take this opportunity to push forward the Water Country cooperation project and the Chunin Exam together.
After all, with the volume of people flowing into the Chunin Exam at this level, it would be a waste if we only held the Chunin Exam.
Her original plan was just to optimize transportation so that people could come to the Water Kingdom more conveniently and quickly.
In this way, people can travel to the Land of Water more smoothly through the port of the Land of Waves, and can also bring back the specialties they bought with less money and more convenient transportation.
But now it seems that we can completely derive a high-end travel route from here.
It would be a shame not to make use of the rich gift of the sea.
In the past, the seaside has always been a popular travel destination no matter which country it was in.
As long as the matching supporting facilities are well prepared, there is no problem in creating a popular tourist attraction.
In addition, there are sufficient projects for her to develop and customize high-end routes.
To be honest, although the Chunin Exam in Sand Village was grand and crowded.
But there are indeed not many high-ranking and powerful people who come here - most of them are businessmen or wealthy people with some money, and many of them are attracted by the gimmick of "cheering for the ninjas of their own country".
Of course the nobles came, but certainly not as many as during the first Sand Village open day.
Compared to the fight between ninjas.
They care more about what they can obtain and experience.
——After all, for them
In other words, the competition between ninjas can be held on the battlefield instead of having to pass an "exam".
If this high-end seaside tourism of "Ocean Star" is managed well, then why worry about these groups who are keen on pursuing novelty and fun not coming?
By then, it won't just be one or two "number one guys" but all the "number one guys" from all over the world will gather here.
Of course Yu Yue will not miss ordinary tourists.
For the high-end route, take the 'Ocean Star' and experience the magnificent underwater journey.
You can also take a boat ride to experience the scenery on the sea for a more affordable price.
There are beautiful scenery both on the sea surface and under the sea.
No matter which one you look at, you won’t lose.
"It would be best to prepare 1-2 special seafood meals."
Yu Yue plans to work with the restaurant owner she had worked with before to develop a new menu.
Although he breached the contract last time, he still has the ability as a restaurant owner and chef.
Besides, he didn't breach the contract intentionally.
He believed that with the help of many parties this time, he would definitely be able to cooperate wholeheartedly with Yu Yue Store and formulate meals that met Yu Yue's requirements.
"What about accommodation?"
Uchiha Shisui noted Ugetsu's previous idea and took the initiative to ask the question.
"Both Desert Star and Desert Ship have overnight routes. Do you want to arrange an ocean route?"
"As for the ship, just arrange it as normal."
Ugetsu frowned.
"At present, Ocean Star cannot guarantee the duration of overnight voyages, so let's just temporarily plan an underwater dinner. If the time problem is solved by then, we can change it to an overnight route."
High-end products should always look like high-end products.
Only if it is tempting enough will wealthy women and tycoons be willing to pay for it.
Yes, except for the 'Sea Star' travel route.
Yu Yue also planned to sell the ocean star directly as a commodity.
It's like the 'Desert Star' of the past.
I believe there will be quite a lot of people who are rich and have free time who are willing to pay for this "romance".
"OK."
Uchiha Shisui quickly wrote it down.
He will reorganize this record later and then present it to Scorpion in the form of a demand form.
——After all, how to implement it specifically depends on the technical research and development results of Scorpion.
As for what Scorpio would think after receiving the demand form...
It's not a big problem. If it were him, he would definitely be happy to challenge these 'difficulties' that no one has ever solved before.
scorpion:……?!
