Chapter 3: Make power banks and find customers.
After Li An walked out of the clothing store dressed as a fortune teller in linen clothes, he went to a paper shop and made a banner with the words "Iron Mouth and Straight Forward Prediction, Ten Taels of Silver" written on it. He was very satisfied with his outfit, which was exactly what he wanted to be like!
After searching for a long time, he settled down in a simple-looking inn. The reason he chose this inn was simple: to save money.
In the guest room, Li An took out his mobile phone, opened the webpage, and began to search for how to use existing materials to make batteries to charge his mobile phone. His mobile phone had almost no power left, and he was very anxious. Although he had a charger, the charger in the system space could not be used in this world. There was no power in this world, and he needed to find a way to make a battery by himself to charge his mobile phone.
Coming to this strange world, as an ordinary office worker, if I lose this phone, I will definitely be finished. If I want to practice martial arts now, I am already 22 years old, it is probably too late, so I just wait for this system to show its medical miracles. When the time comes, I will give myself some extra points, and I will become a master among masters in an instant. But the system is a money-grubber. I am stupid and have not read much, so I don’t know how to make money. Therefore, it really doesn’t work if the phone is out of battery.
After searching for a while, he found many methods, one of which was relatively easy to implement. He found a pen and paper and wrote down the method, fearing that he would forget it. Then he called the waiter to help him find the necessary materials. He then began to study the production process.
Some fruits, coils of wire and other miscellaneous objects were placed on the table. After a busy day, he finally managed to charge his phone. Although the charging speed was very slow, he finally managed to charge it to 42 percent.
This process took up a lot of his time and energy, and he realized that this method was not suitable for him. He began to think about other ways, hoping to find a faster and more effective way to charge. At the same time, he also realized that he needed more knowledge to deal with the world.
If I had known this earlier, I would have bought a solar-powered phone!
Two days later, he finally found a more stable charging method, and the battery of his phone finally reached 100%. He was very pleased, and he breathed a sigh of relief as he had temporarily solved his problem.
Li An went down to the lobby with the cloth banner, called the waiter, and ordered food. The waiter was quite polite and served him three steamed buns, a plate of pickled vegetables and a bowl of white porridge. He had become somewhat familiar with this strange man in the past two days, and the waiter left without asking anything.
Shit! I've been eating this for three days. I can't live like this anymore. I'm still growing! Li An couldn't help but sigh again. He looked at the people eating in the lobby and gave up. Looking at the canvas he put next to him, he thought that no one had come to him to buy things in the past two days. He couldn't go on like this. He had to find a way to make a name for himself!
Go to a big restaurant to promote it? But I don't have money to spend, so I can only find a high-ranking official to show off in front of others. Li An thought to himself.
The waiter had become familiar with this strange gentleman over the past two days and was no stranger to him. Seeing Li Ang sighing, he advised him, "Sir, you can't do this. I believe you can make an accurate judgment, but the main thing is that ten taels of silver is something that most people can't afford." As he spoke, he glanced at the banner with the words on it.
There is no such profession as fortune teller in this world. Not only do people not understand it and have never tried it, but ten taels of silver is not something that ordinary people can afford.
You know, the main currency for common people nowadays is copper coins, which are used to trade goods. Gold and silver are circulated by the upper class. The main reason why no one came to try the waters in the past two days is naturally because of one word: expensive!
This is too expensive. Ten taels of silver is enough for other people's families to live comfortably for a year.
Therefore, if Li An wants to do this business, his potential customers must naturally be those who are rich and powerful. And he has to calculate accurately. He is just an ordinary person now. If he is not accurate, he will be beaten at the least, or thrown into the lake to feed the fish. The reason is clear, but if the price is too low, it will be very cheap. When will he be able to accumulate wealth, improve his attribute skills, and survive safely in this world? Not to mention returning to the previous world.
The waiter advised: "Maybe you can try your luck in other cities? Danzhou is a poor and remote place in Daqing. It's rare to find rich people there."
Li An shook his head and asked hesitantly, "Brother, do you know who are the richest people in this city?"
It’s not that Ang Lee didn’t think about trying his luck in other cities, but he was short of money and didn’t even have the money to travel to other cities. What should he do?
Not only is there no money, this world is actually very dangerous, because the world is full of nuclear radiation. The people here can practice internal skills, and everyone can fly over roofs and walls. He is a weak man who is 50-50 against ordinary people. He is not afraid of being hacked to death by robbers on the way, and he will be called a poor ghost at the end. It's scary to think about it. If you meet a robber, you can just give it to him, that's still good.
It is not easy to survive in this strange world. First of all, he needs to find a safe and reliable way to make money. He does not have the capital to start a business or invest. Secondly, he needs to accumulate enough wealth as soon as possible to improve his strength. Finally, he needs to keep a low profile in the process and avoid attracting other people's attention. Therefore, going to other cities to try his luck is not suitable for his current situation.
The waiter scratched his head and said, "The wealthy merchants, officials and rich men in the city are all rich people! But I dare not say anything about their affairs." After that, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "But if we talk about who can make the decision here, it must be the Fan Mansion in the west of the city!"
Li An was reluctant to approach Fan Xian right now. The first reason was that they were all modern people, and he was afraid that he would notice something. The second reason was that there were many people watching him now, and if he went up rashly, it would be easy for him to enter some people's field of vision. But the people in the Fan Mansion were easier to get along with, so even if something went wrong, his life would not be in danger. If he went to the people the waiter mentioned, if something unexpected happened, there would be no room for maneuver.
"Thank you, little brother. I already have a plan in mind."
After that, he finished the food on the table, without wasting any food. After filling his stomach, Li An left the inn and walked straight to Fan's house.
At this time, in the Sinan Earl's Mansion in the west of the city, which was also the back door of the Fan Mansion, a group of people sat in front of the young Fan Xian, listening to him tell those fantastic stories. Most of the audience were children, but there were also a few adults listening.
Fan Xian's face is fair and delicate, revealing a spirit of agility, and a touch of nobility in his heroic spirit. Although he looks childish, his tone when telling the story seems mature.
Suddenly, a man dressed as a servant came running to report: "Master, the man you asked someone to keep an eye on has arrived at the mansion!"
When Fan Xian heard this, he quickly apologized to the people around him and asked them to come again next time. Then, he ran into the courtyard.
