When the movement inside the door disappeared, Minato Namikaze looked at Uchiha Mikoto, his eyes indicating what to do.
Mikoto tilted her head and pointed at the door, meaning you come.
Minato hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to knock on the door.
"Come in."
Qingshu's voice sounded, and it sounded no different from usual.
Namikaze Minato secretly breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door.
Haruki sat at the table, but Tsunade was nowhere to be seen.
Minato's extremely high emotional intelligence told him that it was best not to ask what happened at this time.
"Teacher, Mikoto and I followed your instructions to track the latest actions in Sunagakure Village, and we are here to report."
"Well, tell me." Qingshu nodded and said.
He came here this time without anyone else.
So the task of finding out the information was given to Minato and Mikoto.
In fact, they are extremely suitable.
Minato Namikaze is the fastest man in the ninja world and is a top runner in escaping. Uchiha Mikoto's three-magatama Sharingan possesses extraordinary insight and hypnotic ability, making her a perfect match for gathering information.
In a sense, it is quite wasteful.
After all, use the flying thunder god and sharingan to do the work of ANBU.
"After we left, the Third Kazekage immediately held a jounin meeting to discuss the plan proposed by the teacher. All those who opposed it were captured. After the meeting, Chiyo led many puppet troops to the capital city of the Land of Wind."
"Oh? It's more courageous than I thought."
Qingshu touched his chin, not surprised.
If you are poor, you will want to change.
People, when they are really desperate, they can decisively give up their dignity.
In Konoha, when Haruki proposed these plans, Sarutobi Hiruzen's first reaction was to suspect him of evil intentions, rather than being overjoyed.
This is because Konoha is far from exhausted.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had room to think more.
It is said that adding icing on the cake is not as good as providing help when it is timely. This is probably true.
"Judging from the current situation, the Third Kazekage has basically trusted us." Haruki waved his hand, "You two don't have to carry out missions anymore. It's a rare visit to Sunagakure Village and you can go around."
"Okay, teacher."
After Minato and Mikoto left, Tsunade reappeared in the room.
The shameful scene just now was seen by her juniors. She really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, but she didn't dare to meet them, so she hid directly.
Haruki smiled.
Tsunade was furious when she saw this smile.
"Have you noticed them before?"
"No." Haruki would definitely not admit it, "How could I notice other people when I'm with you?"
Tsunade immediately lost her temper.
She shifted her eyes and hummed, "Let me believe you for once."
Haruki was about to stand up when Tsunade immediately held his head.
"You're doing something bad again!"
"?"
"I'll go back to my room first."
Tsunade slid her hands down and rubbed his face vigorously. When she saw the strange face that came out, she couldn't help but smile, and then disappeared.
Qingshu blinked.
What is this?
He guessed that Tsunade's shamelessness might have reached its limit, so he ran away.
There's nothing wrong with Haruki either.
After waiting for a while, I planned to go shopping with Tsunade, but the knock on the door rang again.
He welcomed the second wave of guests today.
The Third Kazekage and Rasa.
When Qingshu saw these two people, he basically guessed their purpose.
Many of the plans he proposed are difficult to see profits in a short period of time. But only placer gold is an immediate huge profit.
Since the Third Kazekage has brought Rasa, it means that he has agreed to Haruki's deal.
"Please take a seat."
Qingshu took a few steps back, returned to his seat, and poured a cup of tea for the two of them.
He glanced at Luo Sha, who was silent and seemed unhappy, ignored him, and asked with a chuckle: "What's the purpose of your visit, Mr. Feng Ying?"
"It's about placer gold. I saw in your plan that you want to purchase placer gold at a price that is 10% higher than the market price. I want to know why?"
"What? Kazekage-sama doesn't want to sell?" Haruki raised his eyebrows.
"Of course not."
The Third Kazekage hesitated for a moment and said honestly, "If it were anyone else, I wouldn't ask any more questions. But with your amazing knowledge, I believe you are definitely on target, and the benefits may exceed my imagination."
"So you want a piece of the pie?"
"We can deepen our cooperation." The Third Kazekage said skillfully.
"It's not impossible."
Qingshu thought about it carefully and realized that the gold industry was extremely profitable, but first he had to build a brand concept because his target users were aristocrats.
With his manpower, it was extremely difficult to take down the Fire Nation.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to leave the Kingdom of Wind to the Third Kazekage to deal with.
"Can you tell me in detail?" the Third Kazekage asked eagerly.
"Gold jewelry."
"Jewelry?" Sandai Fengying was immediately disappointed. He naturally knew about jewelry, but the price was not far different from placer gold.
"That's right. Your treatment of placer gold or jewelry is too rough."
Qingshu couldn't help but shake his head.
The necklaces and rings that appear in the original work are not pretty.
Take the first-generation necklace known as the Death Necklace, which is just a thread and a jade.
"I don't understand." The Third Kazekage asked in confusion.
"Okay, today I will tell you about the concept of luxury goods." Qingshu smiled and talked about the real reasons for making money.
"This?" The Third Kazekage's eyes widened.
"Let me give you a simple example. If an extremely exquisite gold necklace appears with the concept of the metropolis of the Kingdom of Wind, and is fueled by public opinion, saying that this necklace represents the status of aristocrats and unique aesthetics, what do you think?
Will you buy it?"
"I will buy it." The Third Kazekage thought for a while and said.
"This is the power of brand. For things of the same quality, the price of a brand with meaning and story is much higher than the market price."
"..."
The Third Kazekage looked up and down at the Haruki tree.
Once again, he felt that his IQ was being crushed and that this kind of behavior was really outrageous.
"So we want to collaborate? Let's create a brand together and compile a thrilling origin for it."
"Of course!" The Third Kazekage agreed without hesitation, and then asked, "Why do you want to make up a story?"
"Increase the legend." Qingshu explained, "For example, we can promote the brand in the Kingdom of Wind. The origin of this brand is that the founder of the Kingdom of Wind gave it to his beloved girl as a token, but unfortunately the girl died due to the war.
, and never saw him again. So he threw the necklace in the desert, and hundreds of years later, we dug it up accidentally."
"Is this... okay?" The Third Kazekage was dumbfounded.
"No one can prove it's true, but no one can prove it's false, right?"
Qingshu shrugged, "True or false, as long as someone believes in this poignant love story, they will be willing to pay."
