Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

Fangzhou pondered for a long time but still had no clue, so he simply started thinking about the future plans for the manor.

The next step is to build a cowshed, which will cost 20,000 Alliance Coins.

The price of a single large milk tanker is also 20,000. If you want to buy ten, the total cost, including the cost of the cowshed, will be 220,000 Alliance coins.

The farm recently sold some strawberries and several batches of other crops, earning 40,000 Alliance Coins.

That means we're still short 80,000 Alliance Coins.

This amount of money is not a small sum for the manor now.

However, in the long run, the investment is still worthwhile.

The milk produced by the large milk tank can not only be sold directly, but also processed into various dairy products, increasing its value several times over.

Fangzhou's thoughts continued to wander. Once the cowshed was built and operating stably, the next step would be to build a water pool and a sheepfold.

Pearl oysters can be farmed in ponds, and the pearls they produce have always been popular in the market.

The sheepfold can house several goats for riding, which can produce nutritious goat milk and be rented out as a means of transportation to passing travelers.

Alternatively, raising Mare sheep is also a good option. Their high-quality wool will always find a market, and regular trimming will provide a stable income.

While contemplating the bright future of the manor, Fangzhou drifted off to sleep.

When he woke up again, it was already dark outside the window. He checked the time and it was already past four in the afternoon.

Fangzhou stretched and walked to the window.

The rain has stopped.

The sky was crystal clear after the rain, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the horizon orange-red.

Several proud swallows hopped on the damp grass, occasionally lowering their heads to peck at something.

Raindrops clinging to the leaves sparkled in the setting sun, and the fresh air carried the fragrance of grass.

"Come on, tropical dragon, let's take some honey and go see George."

"Ao Si~"

As Ark slowly landed at the entrance of the distribution center on a tropical dragon, carrying a large jar of honey, he went inside and saw George standing up and packing up his things, seemingly preparing to close up shop early.

"Hey, Fangzhou, you're out in the rain?" George said, somewhat surprised. "I was just about to close up shop and head home early. The weather's bad, so not many people come here."

Fangzhou placed the honey on the table and explained, "I rushed over as soon as the rain stopped. The three bees at the manor have made some honey and wanted to ask you to check its quality."

"Oh my, honey!"

George immediately became interested. "Honey water can cool you down in the summer. Summer is coming soon, so this is a good product that will sell well."

Having learned from his previous experience with parsnip and strawberries, he dared not underestimate any product brought by this young man.

George carefully opened the jar, scooped out a small spoonful of honey with a special spoon, and first carefully sniffed it: "It smells very sweet, without a trace of sourness, not bad."

A hint of joy appeared on his face.

Since the Ark provided the high-quality parsnip, George's distribution center has become famous. Large supermarkets all know that the parsnip here is of good quality, and they always sell out.

The distribution center has firmly maintained its one-star rating, so there's no need to worry about it being removed.

Later, the cabbage and strawberries that Ark sold gave the distribution center hope of achieving a two-star rating.

Recreating the glory of the Six Stars Gathering Place in the past no longer seems like an unattainable dream!

Next, George took out a glass container, dripped a few drops of honey onto it, and then took out a professional device that looked like a microscope.

He skillfully placed the coverslip on, adjusted the focus of the objective lens and eyepiece, and leaned forward slightly to observe carefully.

Upon seeing this, his expression turned serious.

After pondering for a while, he finally spoke up: "I can accept it, but I would recommend you go to Queen Bee Honey Company. Oh, no, because its business has been declining, it has been renamed Three Bees Honey Company."

Fangzhou was stunned. Was it really that realistic?

If a business is poorly managed and closes down, its name will also become outdated.

George smiled and said, "Speaking of which, this shop has some connection with your manor."

"The previous owner of this shop was a good friend of your grandfather, and he used to be your grandfather's honey supplier. When your grandfather first started running the estate, he was destitute, and it was this kind man who helped him out on several occasions."

"Now his son, Kent, is in charge of running the company. He came back after his military service to take over the honey company."

"If you sell through me, I might not be able to offer a very high price. Three Bees Honey Company has been in business for decades, so they can definitely offer a more suitable price."

Fang Zhou couldn't help but feel a little emotional; he was growing to like this utopian world more and more, a world that was almost idealistic.

To ensure the goods demonstrated their true value and fetched a better price, George recommended selling the high-quality honey elsewhere, even though his own distribution center needed it.

This was an extremely rare occurrence in my previous life.

Fang Zhou thanked them, asked for the contact information of the Three Bees Honey Company, and then left.

……

Three Bees Honey Company has recently encountered a major problem, which can be described as a critical juncture for the company's development.

Decades ago, Three Bees Honey Company was at the height of its success, transforming from an unknown small workshop into a well-known small company.

The name was also changed from Three Bees Honey Company to Queen Bee Honey Company.

However, a year ago, a company called Rocket Entertainment Ltd. suddenly began to venture into the honey industry.

This is very puzzling.

According to common business sense, companies usually expand their business in related fields.

Just like a company that sells mobile phones won't suddenly switch to selling cars.

But this company not only did it, it did it exceptionally well.

They first purchased honey at a price 30% higher than the market price, cutting off the supply channels of many honey companies.

Then they continued to innovate, designing various forms of honey products and creating all sorts of gimmicks.

For example, a special design that separates the honey and water in honey water and hides the honey in the center of the lid.

Before drinking the honey water, consumers need to shout "Rocket Honey" and slam the lid on.

The honey on top will slowly flow into the water like a golden waterfall and gradually dissolve.

The effect is especially beautiful when the light is shining from below using a mobile phone.

No wonder they started out in the entertainment industry; they know exactly how to stimulate consumers' desire to buy.

They also invited popular national idol Kisuke to film GG and launched a challenge on social media.

For a time, the "honey challenge" even became popular in other regions.

On one hand, the supply of goods was cut off, and on the other hand, the way the products were presented was completely crushed. The once glorious Queen Bee Honey Company had no choice but to change its name to Three Bees Honey Company.

The boss scratched his thinning hair hard, his head balding.

If this continues, we'll have to close down.

They are a large company, while I am just a small business. If I try to break their monopoly on the original product by using higher prices, I definitely can't win, and I can't afford to burn through my cash flow.

Even if the quality of the honey water is similar, its competitors' innovative and trendy packaging is something it can't compete with.

The only way to break this deadlock is to find a farm that produces extremely high-quality honey to supply us, and then use even higher-quality honey to overcome the predicament.

Alas, this is easier said than done.
