Chapter 90 Uchiha Nan: Although I run a shady factory, I am a good person!
"You're quite capable, you little bastard!"
Kakuzu stood there breathlessly staring at Hatake Sakumo, his dark green eyes showing surprise. The little bastard in front of him had been fighting with him for more than twenty moves without a clear winner, and was even able to suppress him when close to him. His swordsmanship was so superb that he had even become a school of his own.
If I let him continue to grow, I'm afraid I won't be able to beat him in a few years. I must beat him up while he's still young!
Otherwise you won’t be able to hit it in the future!
The Bible of the leeks of Hatake Sakumo is passed on by word of mouth in the futures circle. There are quite a few leeks who have been deceived by Hatake Sakumo's pyramid scheme, and the black market bounty on Hatake Sakumo's head has reached hundreds of millions.
It’s worth several Asumas.
If Kakuzu had not become Uchiha Nan's lackey, he would have taken Hatake Sakumo's head and exchanged it for money today to make up for his own losses.
Kakuzu made up his mind that he must beat Hatake Sakumo up today. He had lost so much money and he had no chance to settle the score with Uchiha Nan, so he could only vent his anger on this little bastard.
"Accepted"
Hatake Sakumo felt a little guilty. He had clearly put on a mask and stayed indoors for a while, so how could the big enemy come to him? It was really a sin.
Just when Kakuzu was about to continue attacking, Nara Shikato stepped forward in time to smooth things over.
Even though he is a bounty hunter who violated the bottom line of the Hyuga family, the Hokage personally protected him and followed him to familiarize himself with the affairs of the Ministry of Finance. It seems that the Hokage values Kakuzu, the bounty hunter, very much.
If you just stand there and watch the show, if anything goes wrong, the Hokage will find trouble with you.
"That's about it. We'll be working together in the future. If you want to learn from each other, there's plenty of time."
"Humph, little bastard, there's still a long way to go, let's just wait and see!"
Kakuzu gave Nara Shikato a favor and smiled at Hatake Sakumo. Hatake Sakumo shuddered. Being targeted by a ninja of Kakuzu's level, what would be the consequences?
From then on, Hatake Sakumo lived a happy life where he was followed by people every day.
"Master, it's time to wake up!"
Ling woke up Uchiha Nan, neatly dressed. The bright sunlight shone on Uchiha Nan's face, which was a little dazzling. After struggling with the bed for several minutes, Uchiha Nan finally overcame the restraints of the bed and regained his freedom.
The weather has gradually turned cooler. Feeling the remaining warmth on the bed, Uchiha Nan is thinking about whether he should install an air conditioner in all the rooms of the house!
The air-conditioning production line has been established during this period, and Konoha has plenty of workers involved in the production.
After a great war, not only were there a bunch of villagers in Konoha who couldn't find jobs, but the refugees were also eagerly looking forward to finding a job to fill their stomachs.
Uchiha Kusunoki's black-hearted factory is filled with a large number of cheap laborers who receive meager wages, but their food and lodging are all provided by Konoha. They work twelve hours a day and take turns to work the night shift.
If the Jews saw this, they would probably cry with envy.
However, even for such a job with free food and accommodation, the refugees were eagerly looking forward to it, and the hard-working people who had entered the work stations ahead of time were still spreading the praises of Uchiha Nan's good name.
The Hokage of Konoha is truly a kind-hearted person.
Uchiha Nan walked on the street, thinking about today's mission. It has been more than a month.
Uchiha Nan has a lot of things to do today. His movie was completed a few days ago, and he is working overtime today to edit the film. Uchiha Nan wants to watch each scene.
I also have to go to the Hokage's office to listen to Nara Shikaon's daily report, so my schedule is packed.
"Master, the milk tea is really delicious."
"Yeah, I still prefer drinking Coke!"
Uchiha Nan was walking on the street with a cup of Coke in his hand, while Feng and Ling were holding a cup of milk tea in their hands.
Several tea shops have opened on the streets of Konoha, specializing in selling milk tea and cola. Long queues have already formed already. The characteristics of these two drinks are that they contain a lot of sugar and are very sweet!
Humans are slaves to sugar. The brain is a sugar-loving organ that cannot survive without sugar. If there is not enough sugar, it will even break down fat and protein to forcibly synthesize sugar.
Sweet and fragrant milk tea directly hits the weakness of human beings, especially girls love to drink it. It's a pity that the price of sugar is not cheap now. Ordinary Konoha villagers are reluctant to spend money on such things. Only high-income ninjas can drink several cups of milk tea a day.
In order to promote the reputation of milk tea and cola, Uchiha Nan not only personally endorsed the tea shop.
During every Konoha meeting, special funds are approved to provide each person with a cup of Coke and a cup of milk tea!
If there is something good on the top, it will be great on the bottom.
What's more, milk tea and cola themselves taste very good. The milk tea shops are doing so well these days that the ninjas may not be able to buy one cup a day.
There are many young men in the long line, waiting in line just to buy a cup of milk tea, hoping to make a beautiful woman smile with a cup of milk tea.
Uchiha Nan's comment on this practice is that those who are thirsty will die of drought, and those who are flooded will die of floods.
If a cup of milk tea doesn't win the favor of your loved one, you will only become a bootlicker.
Sugarcane and sugar beets are both high-sugar cash crops, but now most people are growing food. People are starving to death, and filling their stomachs is more important than anything else.
In the future, I may have to perform the Ninja World version of changing rice into sugarcane (beets).
As Uchiha Nan walked towards the office, he was silently thinking about how to quickly solve the problem of sugar production.
But once capital shows its fangs, there may be a land enclosure movement similar to sheep eating people, which may starve many people to death. Uchiha Nan feels that although he runs a black-hearted factory and exploits the labor of workers, he still thinks he is a good person!
Uchiha Nan still felt sorry for doing such a heartless thing.
I am still a kind person after all.
Uchiha Nan sighed inwardly, and thought about what alternative methods there might be. The ninja world is so vast that there are all kinds of things, and he would definitely be able to find a way to satisfy both parties.
So Uchiha Nan thought of the Aburame clan. Bees can collect nectar to make honey, which is high in sugar. Their clan specializes in playing with insects, so there should be a chance to breed insects that can produce sugar by eating grass, or simply by basking in the sun.
in the office
Uchiha Nan sat on the chair, looked at Aburame Shiyun and said:
"Shiyun, Konoha now has an important task for your family!"
When Aburame Shiyun heard what Uchiha Nan said, he showed an excited expression. He was very clear about his family's status in Konoha.
The Aburame clan is good at controlling insects, but they have a fatal weakness against the enemy: insects are afraid of fire escape. Before the Aburame clan cultivated nano-level poisonous insects, their clan's combat effectiveness was not high.
Gathering intelligence and investigating the enemy's situation are their clan's specialties, but unfortunately, Konoha has better candidates in this regard, that is, the Hyuga clan. This leads to an awkward positioning of the Aburame clan in Konoha.
In addition, their family has a naturally low sense of presence and has always been a small and transparent character in the Konoha Ninja Clan.
But it’s different now!
Lord Hokage actually still remembers me and wants to entrust an important task to the Aburame clan!
When Hokage-sama gives you a mission, it means an opportunity. If you do it well, you will naturally have a chance to rise to the top. "Hokage-sama, is there any important undercover mission that requires the Aburame clan?"
Aburame Shiun's tone was excited, guessing the task that Uchiha Kusunoki was going to give.
"Of course not. Every profession has its own specialties. The task I assign to you is your specialty, to cultivate special types of insects. I hope you won't let me down."
Uchiha Nan shook his head and spoke slowly.
"To cultivate bugs, then Hokage-sama has found the right family!"
"There is no one in the entire Konoha who is more suitable than our clan to complete the mission of Lord Hokage!"
Aburame Zhiyun's tone was full of confidence. Their clan was the top experts in playing with insects and they could even raise insects in their bodies!
Uchiha Nan mentioned his request to Aburame Shiyun, who admired Uchiha Nan's wild imagination.
Their clan has been committed to making insects more destructive and more poisonous, and the size of insects is either extremely enlarged or extremely reduced.
They have not yet tried to breed insects specifically for producing sugar, and have not even considered it at all.
"The insect's food must be common, such as plants like grass, and the insect must produce a lot of sugar!"
"If possible, we can also cultivate a type of insect that has no particular food preference, reproduces quickly, and has a high protein content."
Uchiha Nan remembered the Happy Meal in Snowpiercer, which was a protein block made purely from cockroaches. Although the ingredients were disgusting and the taste was bad, it really filled the stomach. There must be great potential for Konoha to export such food!
"Hokage-sama, the Aburame clan will do everything they can and will gather the strength of all the clan members in the clan!"
This was the first time that Uchiha Nan assigned a task to the Aburame clan, and the first time they tried to breed these types of insects. Aburame Shiyun was unsure how long it would take to succeed, but he had to keep a correct attitude!
"Don't be too nervous. I have a scientific research master here. You can make a prototype sample insect and write down the cultivation ideas. I believe he can help you quickly cultivate the insects I need."
Uchiha Nan planned to add more burden to Senju Tobirama. A good ox or horse must be given more weight, otherwise he will be lazy!
"Oh? Lord Hokage has an expert in training bugs!"
"I wonder when I can meet this master."
When he heard Uchiha Nan talking about the master who cultivated insects, Aburame Shiyun immediately became excited. He must meet such a scientific research master.
"Yes, there will be a chance. He is very busy with scientific research tasks now."
Uchiha Nan laughed it off and evaded the question. He was not sure whether Senju Tobirama could cultivate insects. There were still barriers between industries. Even the most talented Senju Tobirama would need time to explore and discover.
We can first let the Aburame clan make a prototype, so that it will be easier for Senju Tobirama to start.
Aburame Shiyun tactfully skipped this topic and quickly said goodbye and returned to her family, intending to immediately gather everyone in the family to cultivate the insects that the Hokage needed.
After Aburame Shiun left, Nara Shikaon walked into the office and began his daily routine of reporting to Uchiha Kusunoki.
"The sales of air conditioners are very good among the Fire Nation nobles. Almost every noble has bought one."
"The Daimyo is still asking Konoha to speed up production. He wants to renovate all the palaces in the Land of Fire!"
Nara Shikaon's tone was filled with joy.
The cost of this air conditioner is quite cheap, with the labor cost being incredibly low, and the expensive parts being the material cost.
The cost of one machine was only over 100,000 taels, but when Uchiha Nan sold it to the nobles, they priced it at 880,000 taels.
It is euphemistically called "special supply for the nobles" and the patterns on the shell are all carved by senior ninjas. This is of course nonsense, they were all carved by workers, but the nobles still buy into this brand.
The regular version only costs 298,000 taels, but they didn't even bother to look at it. They are aristocrats, and the regular version is for common people. As noble aristocrats, they naturally want the special supply for aristocrats!
"Then build a few more production lines in the next few days. Daming is very rich now. He made a lot of money in futures trading before. He has a lot of money waiting to be spent."
"Remember to charge extra for the supporting chakra power system. Just say that this is a rush job and the cost will be higher. Those nobles won't care about this little money."
Uchiha Nan showed a satisfied smile. It was really cool to make money from the rich.
"Remember to ask all the movie theaters in the Land of Fire to buy air conditioners produced in Konoha. You can give them some discounts on the price. The most important thing is to build a good reputation. The civilian market cannot be missed either!"
"In the markets of other countries in the ninja world, the cinema still needs the promotion of the daimyo. You can give the daimyo a proper share of the referral fee. You can decide how much. Remember to let Kakuzu participate. He is very interested in this kind of thing and should have good talent."
Uchiha Nan kept reminding Nara Shikaon that the market of nobles was very large, and they had to open up sales not only in the Land of Fire, but also in other countries. This required the help of the daimyo channels, and only if the daimyo was given a little sweetness would he work hard to promote himself.
Currently, the main consumers of light luxury industrial products such as air conditioners are still the nobles. Commoners with better financial conditions in the ninja world probably have to save up for half a year before they can make up their minds to buy one, but Uchiha Nan will not give up on cultivating their market.
They can afford to watch ordinary movies. The weather has gradually turned cooler, and they can enjoy the warm air-conditioning as soon as they enter the cinema. In the future, they can even enjoy the cool air in the summer. This was a treatment that only the daimyo could afford in the past.
They will definitely be tempted!
The benefit of installing air conditioners in cinemas this time is that it can also appropriately promote movie box office. Even in the White Elephant Kingdom in the 21st century in the previous life, a considerable number of people went to see a movie just to get free air conditioning.
I made seven dumplings just for this taste of vinegar!
This can also be considered an alternative bundled sale!
"Okay, Hokage-sama."
"That bounty hunter Kakuzu is really talented in business and is willing to work hard. He has been studying economics books late into the night these past few days."
"."
Nara Shikaon mentioned Kakuzu and praised him highly, especially when Kakuzu learned about the cost and profit of air conditioners, as well as the terrifying sales volume behind it, he began to study like crazy.
His attitude of studying business economics diligently was something he felt ashamed of. After all, in order to better serve Uchiha Nan, Nara Shikato had been studying business-related books during this period!
