But even so, a large number of refugees still gathered outside the Hedian Restaurant. Gradually, temporary buildings appeared near the Hedian Restaurant, forming a small refugee camp with the Hedian Restaurant as the center.
0030 A Place Worse Than Europe
The outbreak of any war is much more complicated than the causes that people pass on by word of mouth.
For example, the reason why the Rain Country declared war on the two great powers, the Wind Country and the Fire Country, at the same time is not as simple as the refugees from the Rain Country claiming that it was "to resist the oppression of the great powers."
Although the war of the Rain Kingdom does have elements of resistance to a powerful country, its real purpose is to provoke the relationship between the Wind Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom. When the two countries start to "eat each other", no matter who wins or loses in the end, the national strength of both countries will be greatly weakened.
Use the Wind Kingdom to weaken the Fire Kingdom's power, thereby achieving a balance between the major powers and realizing the strategic goal of the Rain Kingdom's mysterious ally.
The Rain Country is a small country with few people. Only when the power of various countries is balanced again can the Rain Country continue to maintain its independence. It will not be completely swallowed up by a certain country because of a sudden surge in the power of that country.
Therefore, in order to achieve its strategic goals, the Rain Country was willing to become a troublemaker. As for the citizens of the Rain Country who died in the war, they were insignificant to the country.
As a result, the small box-type restaurant located at the junction of the three countries of Sichuan, Rain and Fire became more and more prosperous. Even the scale of the refugee camp centered on the box-type restaurant grew larger as the fighting became increasingly intense.
"Get away from the piss!"
Boss Cheng kicked over a drunk man who was peeing under a telephone pole near the lunch box restaurant.
"If you dare to pee and poop near my hotel again, I will confiscate your tools."
The drunk was kicked sober and realized that he had urinated in the wrong place. So he bowed and apologized: "Sorry, sorry. I drank a little too much and didn't notice that I was peeing next to your house."
Then, the sober drunk ran back to his tent, fearing that the "fierce boss of the box restaurant" would beat him up in a rage.
You should know that this boss has turned the refugee camp into a paradise where no one steals anything. No matter what you did before or what you want to do now, anyone who enters the refugee camp must work honestly and live peacefully.
If anyone dares to do that...
About a week ago, a group of ninjas from the Wind Country tried to rob the refugee camp. They happened to target the "brightly lit" box lunch restaurant.
As a result, as soon as they stated their purpose and made a few harsh remarks, they were pulled out of the restaurant by the boss.
They died so freely and elegantly that even the Six Paths Sage couldn't stop them!
Then, two or three more teams of Sand Ninjas who came to take revenge were killed in front of the Box Hotel. As a result, the refugee camp, which was in a very minor strategic location, became a no-man's land - the Sand Ninjas did not dare to manage, Konoha did not want to manage, and the Rain Ninjas were too lazy to manage.
"A bunch of lunatics are crowded in a tiny piece of land. Their heads are almost beaten into dog heads. They can't even catch up with Europe. Are the top leaders of these countries mentally ill?" said Boss Cheng.
"Wow, you're really exaggerating!" Jiraiya leaned back in the dining chair, crossed his legs, drank his favorite Old Snow, and chatted in a relaxed manner: "The current situation is already very good. If we push the time back another fifty or sixty years, that was the real war. Ninjas fought for their families every day. No one could be confident of seeing the sun the next day, even the strong ones."
Boss Cheng nodded and said with certainty: "I understand. It's probably equivalent to a tribal war with a higher level of armed forces."
"You guy!"
The beautiful Tsunade slammed the table and stood up, but was immediately pinned down by Jiraiya.
Orochimaru smiled and asked, "So, in the boss's eyes, the history of ninja is nothing more than a long prehistoric tribal war?"
"Not really, not really." The boss corrected him, "Because your level of civilization is already very high, so a more accurate description should be ancient tribal wars."
After that, Boss Cheng asked them in surprise: "Isn't your Fire Nation at war with the Rain Nation? The three of you showed up in the enemy's territory so brazenly, aren't you afraid of attracting the enemy?"
"Just a declaration of war." Jiraiya shrugged.
"The two countries have not yet reached the point of fighting to the death." Tsunade added.
Orochimaru smiled again and said to his boss: "I think Hanzo of the Rain Country would not want to fight on two fronts. Letting the Rain Ninja fight with the Sand Ninja for a while longer will be beneficial to both us and the Rain Ninja."
"Our Konoha ninjas are not idiots. Of course they can see what the Rain Ninjas are planning." Tsunade finished a small glass of beer and continued, "Hanzo the Salamander is too confident. The Land of Fire and the Land of Wind have no reason to go to war. If we in Konoha continue to exercise restraint, then..."
"Then your Fire Nation's defense line will soon collapse."
"Eh?"
“War is not only about military force, but also about the economy of the warring countries. Economically powerful countries naturally hope to limit the scale of war and rely on their economic size to fight a protracted war until the enemy is worn down. But have you ever thought that the enemy country with a much smaller economy than yours is seeking a strategy or tactic to defeat the enemy in one blow?
Since we can't beat you anyway, we might as well take a big bite out of you when you're not ready. If the bite is big enough, other countries will naturally come to join in the fun. Anyway, the wound is already bleeding, and how much blood can be sucked out of the wound depends on each of our abilities.
Also, when does a war need a reason? Even if a reason is needed, would anyone think that a temporary reason or excuse is not enough? My ninja disappeared on your territory, and I wanted to search you, but you wouldn't let me. This kind of bullshit reason is enough. "
When the three heard this, they immediately stood up and left the hotel. However, the Rain Ninja who was disguised as a civilian to monitor Jiraiya and the others was already sweating profusely.
Because just now, the owner of this restaurant accidentally guessed the frame-up plan of the Rain Ninja. Once their plan succeeds, there will be friction between the Sand Ninja and Konoha. At that time, it will only take a small spark, and the Wind and Fire countries will go to war.
But now, Konoha's three frontline commanders are rushing back to their base. Can the Rain Ninja's plan still be implemented smoothly?
"Dong dong!"
The ninja who was in a daze was awakened by the sound of knocking on the table. When he came to his senses, Boss Cheng had already sat down opposite him.
"From outside the city or locally?" asked Boss Cheng.
Faced with overwhelming pressure from his boss, the undercover ninja obediently replied, "Local."
"Rain Ninja, huh?"
The Rain Ninja undercover nodded, "Yes, Rain, Rain Ninja."
"Can I discuss something with you?"
"Please, speak."
“There should be some of your people in the refugee camp, right?”
The Rain Ninja did not answer.
“As official representatives, can you take care of things in the refugee camp? At least maintain the hygiene of the camp. Hygiene and epidemic prevention are very important. You don’t want an epidemic to suddenly break out in the refugee camp and then spread out, right!”
0031 Boss Cheng focuses on charity
Facts have proved that if two people do not get along well and there is someone deliberately instigating them, the three of them can easily fight each other.
This is the case with Konoha and Sand Ninja. The Rain Ninja disguised as Sand Ninja went to Konoha's front to cause trouble, but because Jiraiya and his men returned in time, the Konoha ninjas were already prepared, so all of these Rain Ninja's "canned" goods were captured.
But Rain Ninja's plan couldn't be so vulnerable.
Just as Konoha captured the Rain Ninja wearing the Sand Ninja jacket, another group of "Konoha" ninjas that attacked the Sand Ninja headquarters also rushed towards Konoha's position. The Sand Ninjas were of course not stupid, and they knew that the other party was the Rain Ninja in disguise, but the elite Sand Ninjas had to chase them. They followed the fake Konoha ninjas and rushed towards the Konoha position.
As a result, the three parties of ninjas collided in front of the Konoha defense line at the border of the Land of Fire, and the situation instantly fell into chaos.
On one side, the Konoha soldiers bravely captured the real spy without any effort.
On one side, the Sand Ninjas were chasing and fighting in the fake Konoha, and they had no choice but to chase after them.
But the problem is that the real Konoha doesn't know that the Sand Ninja is chasing the fake Konoha; the real Sand Ninja also can't figure out whether the captured companion is real or fake. The three parties of soldiers and horses turned into two parties and rushed to one place. In an instant, heads rolled and screams were heard.
"Asshole, you fell into the trap!"
The commander of the Sand Ninjas realized it immediately, but the intensity of the battle did not allow them to call off the troops immediately. Finally, the commander of the Sand Ninjas and Tsunade shouted out the night duty order for tonight, and the ninjas on both sides immediately stopped the fight. The disguised Rain Ninjas were then completely wiped out because their identities were exposed.
The Sand Ninja commander withdrew his troops immediately, but their feud with Konoha was completely formed because of the heavy casualties in the battle just now.
In the following days, the friction between Konoha and the Sand Shinobi became more frequent, and the intensity of the conflict also increased. It is believed that before long, a full-scale war will break out between the two sides on the land of the Rain Country.
The plan of Rain Ninja leader Salamander Hanzo succeeded, but it brought suffering to the people of the Rain Country who were affected by the war.
In just two weeks, the size of the refugee camp doubled again, and there are now nearly 10,000 refugees living in the camp!
Unfortunately, not everyone comes to Cheng Tianlin's boxed rice restaurant to eat. After all, the Rain Country is already very poor, and it is rare to find civilians who dare to eat three meals a day in a restaurant.
Even though each meal only costs 45 liang, and people under 1.3 meters tall can get a 8% discount, for refugees who cannot make ends meet, this will still be a burden in the long run.
Moreover, they had no idea how long the war would last. For the sake of the long term, many refugees moved out of Boss Cheng’s apartment and chose to build temporary housing outside the hotel to ensure that they and their families could survive the deadly war years.
Suddenly, the price of building materials in the refugee camps skyrocketed. The price of a piece of rag to shelter people from the wind and rain could allow a family of five to live in Boss Cheng's apartment for a week.
So Boss Cheng's system immediately gave a relatively reliable suggestion - sell tents! Boss Cheng used the RMB on hand to purchase tents and sold them on the school playground. The cost part of the proceeds would be converted into RMB and returned to Boss Cheng. The surplus part would be converted into standard money and used to repay the loan.
Boss Cheng thought this would be a way to get rich and relieve his debt pressure. But the result was...
"I bought more than 5000 canvas tents, how come I only paid back less than 4 standard gold?"
[The shop owner is kind-hearted and can't bear to earn money from refugees. ]
"You mean, I sold it too cheaply?"
【This explanation is consistent with the original intention of the system. 】
"Does this mean that I'm not making any money from selling tents?"
[The average profit per unit of goods sold by the store owner is 6.77 standard gold, accounting for about 6% of the average selling price]
Well, this profit ratio cannot be said to be basically no profit, it can only be said that the boss will make only his break-even after selling the tents.
But for refugees, Boss Cheng is like a living Buddha, as he can buy a sturdy tent made of full canvas, with a padlock and ventilation windows at an unbelievably low price!
Today, the entire refugee camp is green to the point where it is alarming. After all, the cheapest construction tents on Alibaba are green canvas tents. If you switch to blue polyester tents, the cost will increase by 300 to 800 yuan.
Boss Cheng can afford it, but the refugees cannot.
As the saying goes, "Love is a light that makes you panic." This is the love of Boss Cheng that shines with the brilliance of humanity!
"Love bullshit! The drainage ditch hasn't even been dug yet, and those Rain Ninjas have all run away! I only asked them to supervise the refugees' voluntary labor, and I didn't ask them to dig the ditch themselves, so why would they run away!"
Indeed, the Rain Ninjas who usually maintain order in the refugee camp have all run away. But this is not because they are not dedicated to their jobs, but because they have to make a strategic shift. Because the nightmare of ninjas from all countries, the famous Konoha White Fang - Hatake Sakumo appeared in the refugee camp.
"Come on, why should I care if you want to buy a tent? I'm just selling lunch boxes!"
But the boss's words were obviously not convincing, because even as he rejected Hatake Sakumo's purchase request, he was still issuing pick-up tickets for refugees who were buying tents.
"I sold them the tents mainly because I felt sorry for them. The tents were originally taken away, and I didn't plan to sell them to people outside the refugee camp."
Hatake Sakumo smiled slightly and asked the boss: "So?"
"You have to pay more."
"How much?"
"Pick up the goods and add 10% service fee, and home delivery will add another 10% service fee."
"Deliver to your door." Konoha White Fang showed his white teeth and smiled: "The amount I want is not small. I am afraid that it will cause you unnecessary trouble if Konoha ninjas deliver the goods."
“哦,那你准备定几千顶?”诚老板给白牙解释道:“我这里只有2*3、2*4、3*5的小尺寸帐篷。3*6以上尺寸的需要跟厂家订货,1000顶以下一周交货,1000顶以上一般需要10到15天的交货期。如果定3000顶以上,我可以跟厂家申请加急。”
Then, Hatake Sakumo was stunned. He hesitated for a long time before asking Boss Cheng: "Can I reserve 50 5*10 tents?"
"Didn't you just say that the number was not small?" The boss glanced at the legendary ninja.
"This……"
"I thought you guys in Konoha would charge one or two thousand. Never mind, even a small amount is still meat. Pay the full amount and come back to me in seven days. You can show me the way on site and I will try to deliver it to you in one trip."
At this time, a fat man dressed as a businessman walked into the restaurant with a humble smile. He didn't dare to approach and talk to Boss Cheng when he saw that there were guests around him. Only when Boss Cheng nodded at him did he smile and ask:
"Boss Cheng, I wonder if you..."
Cheng Tianyan didn't waste time talking to him and asked directly: "How much do you plan to buy this time?"
“额!2*3的200顶,3*5的150顶。老板您不会嫌这个数少吧?”
Boss Cheng pursed his lips and then replied, "It's a little less, but the stock is enough. But I still have the original request."
"Don't worry, I will continue to limit the price of the tents as usual."
0032 The Child of Destiny and His Family Run Away
Hatake Sakumo, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat of the Black Hawk, said that he was really stabbed in the butt with a knife - his eyes were opened!
After all, it was less than 40 years since the establishment of Konoha Ninja Village, and unlike more than 20 years later, there were no demons and monsters flying around. Hanzo, the ninja leader of the small Rain Country, was already regarded by the five major countries as the ceiling of the existing ninja combat power, and was also given the awesome title of "demigod".
So the first time Hatake Sakumo flew in the sky, he was actually very similar to other children in the technological world who were flying for the first time. They were equally curious, surprised, and afraid of falling.
"Boss Cheng, you..."
"Don't ask, the answer is future technology."
"Oh."
Qi Mu stopped asking questions and turned to look out the porthole, taking in the beautiful scenery of the Fire Kingdom from a high vantage point.
Regardless of whether it is advanced or backward, the vegetation coverage of the Land of Fire is indeed commendable. This also reminds Boss Cheng of his hometown. His hometown, Hae-ni, was once a planet with lush forests, but unfortunately...
"Hah~huh..."
Hatake Sakumo keenly captured the emotional fluctuations of Boss Makoto. But in fact, whenever Makoto recalled the scene of his hometown being burned into glass from space, his emotions would easily get out of control. This was also the reason why he was not selected as an elite by the instructors even though he was the best among the first batch of Spartan III members.
