Genshin Impact, after inventing mobile phones, they looked at me with strange eyes

Chapter 17: Beidou: This is a scam, let me expose you

"Care about me?"

Ningguang burst out laughing. "I didn't know that Captain Beidou had a talent for telling jokes."

With her status and position, the number of people in Liyue who dare not give face to Tianquan Ningguang can be counted on one hand.

The female dragon king in front of him happened to be one of them.

Beidou has a high reputation in Liyue Port, but she always breaks the rules again and again. The fines she pays are even enough to add another large ship to her fleet.

Ningguang had also had a serious conversation with her, saying both good and bad things, but it was useless.

Beidou continues to act as it pleases, insisting on the behavioral policy of "admitting mistakes verbally but refusing to change".

Lord Tianquan was helpless and had to tell his confidant: "Unless it is absolutely necessary, try not to let me see Captain Beidou."

Unfortunately, even such a simple wish of out of sight and out of mind cannot be achieved.

Beidou seemed to have been punished to the point of losing his emotions. In his spare time, he always liked to come to her and argue with her, and he enjoyed it.

She would care about herself? She was just here to laugh at me!

"Haha, look at what you said. We are friends after all." Beidou smiled generously and patted Ningguang on the shoulder. "I heard that you recently made a thing called a mobile phone? It claims to be able to reach people thousands of miles away in an instant? Are you serious?"

"It's true."

Lord Tianquan raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "You...are you trying to bribe me to open the door for your Southern Cross Fleet?"

"Huh? How is that possible!"

Beidou said carelessly: "This kind of IQ tax can be used to deceive fools outside, but I will not be fooled."

“IQ tax?”

Ningguang's look became even weirder.

The mobile phone has been on sale for some time, and its functions have been confirmed by many customers. Even a three-year-old kid knows that the mobile phone promoted by Ningguang is affordable and easy to use. Apart from the insufficient production and difficulty in buying, it has no other disadvantages.

After thinking for a moment, she asked tentatively, "Did you...just come back from the sea? Haven't you taken a good look around Liyue yet?"

"That's right."

Beidou nodded as a matter of course, and chuckled, "I came straight to you as soon as I heard the news. I never thought... you, Ningguang, who looks like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could actually have such evil thoughts."

"Sure enough, there is some truth to the saying that there is no business without fraud."

Ning Guang: "..."

He is indeed a fool.

Forget it, why bother with her?

Lord Tianquan took a sip of the warm tea in his cup and said calmly, "Is there a possibility... I mean a possibility, that mobile phones are not just a waste of money, but really have miraculous effects?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The female dragon king showed disdain on her face: "Ningguang, can you please stop treating me like those fools out there? You have the nerve to put up a banner that can reach us in a flash from a thousand miles away!"

"I, Beidou, believe that I have some reputation in Liyue Harbor. If there really is such an outrageous item, how could I not know about it?"

“Those powerful immortals in Jueyunjian can do this, but what do they have to do with you, Ningguang?”

"Not to mention that your phone is claimed to be usable by everyone, including ordinary people. Even the old Lord Yan may not have this ability, right?"

"If that were the case, it would be fine. Your biggest flaw is pricing."

"One thousand Mora? If the phone is really that useful, why would you only sell it for one thousand Mora? Who are you looking down on?"

Beidou confidently concluded: "To sum up! The functions of the mobile phone must be false propaganda! Otherwise, I will eat this table in front of me!"

Ningguang felt helpless.

After all, humans are really strange creatures.

An item is worth a fortune, but if you sell it at a low price, the first reaction of a normal person is definitely not ecstasy, but "Is there something fishy behind this? It's either fake or broken!"

The same is true for mobile phones.

If she had priced the phone at 100,000 Mora, perhaps it wouldn't have caused such a big public outcry.

Even considering the high price of 100,000 Mora, others will look upon this phone with high regard.

Although he was just trying to popularize it among the general public, he was repeatedly questioned and even regarded as a liar.

Ningguang was in mixed emotions and was too lazy to explain so much to Beidou.

"Oh, I was right, wasn't I?"

But Beidou took her silence as a sign of guilt, and after gloating over her misfortune, he sighed:

"Ningguang, what can I say about you! You are the Tianquan among the Seven Stars. For this little benefit, you have lost all the good reputation you have accumulated for so long. Is it really worth it?"

"Is your brain burned out?"

Ning Guang: "..."

I originally thought that this woman was here to gloat over my misfortune, but I didn't expect that she still had some conscience and cared about me.

Although the way of showing concern is rather crude.

Seeing that Beidou was still chattering, it seemed that he wanted to continue lecturing her.

Lord Tianquan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and for the sake of his own peace, he interrupted:

"Since you don't want to believe in the existence of mobile phones, why don't you go with me to the scene to take a look?"

"it is good!"

Beidou shouted, "Since you still refuse to give up, I will make a bet with you! I will expose your lies with my own hands!"

Ning Guang: "..."

Ningguang: "Forget it, as long as you are happy..."

The female Dragon King has an impetuous personality.

Since she had decided to expose Ningguang's lies herself and pull this woman back from her evil path, she no longer hesitated.

Soon he left the Jade Pavilion with Ningguang, and was taken to a mobile phone store in Liyue Harbor.

"Wait... So there are so many idiots in Liyue?"

Before coming, Beidou thought that the cell phone was just a cover-up by Ningguang, and even if some people were fooled, it wouldn't be many.

But seeing so many customers in person, the line even stretched across the entire street.

Beidou suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

The cell phone...is it really what she imagined, just a scam?

But if it was really just a scam, with so many witnesses, how could it have survived so long without being exposed?

"Hello? Lao Zhang, I told you to line up with me a long time ago, but you refused to do so. Don't blame me for not reminding you. There are quite a few cell phones on sale today. Maybe you can get some soup if you come now."

A middle-aged man's voice came from not far away. He was tall and dressed simply. He should be a laborer at the dock.

Beidou saw with his own eyes that he was talking to an object the size of a brick, and it seemed that he was communicating with someone.

And this is not an isolated case.

"Hey? What are you standing there for? Are you going to queue or not? If not, get out of the way and stop stopping me from buying a phone!"

A sudden scolding sounded from behind, and Beidou was shocked to realize that the line had come to her place since she had been standing there blocking the road. Because she had been standing there blocking the road, the merchant from Mond- behind her finally became impatient and pushed her away.

Chapter 18: A processing factory in another world? Black-hearted capitalists are coming online soon

Beidou: “…”

As the captain of the Southern Cross Fleet, when had she ever been treated like this?

But the female Dragon King was not an unreasonable person. She was originally in the wrong, so she just had to endure this little bit of pettiness.

He quickly found Ningguang, who was leisurely watching the show in the crowd. Facing the latter's half-smile, Beidou's heroic face blushed.

"So... the phone is actually real?"

"if not?"

Lord Tianquan was in a particularly good mood at this time.

Usually she was speechless because of Beidou's tough personality, but today was the first time she saw him behave in such an embarrassing way.

"It's already clear whether the phone is real or fake."

"Captain Beidou, when do you plan to eat the table we promised you?"

Beidou: “…”

It's impossible to go back on your word, but it's not realistic to really let her eat the table.

His Majesty the Dragon King hesitated for a long time and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Ningguang hadn't expected her to fulfill the bet, and being able to vent her anger on this woman was enough for her.

At this moment, he said playfully: "Of course, if Captain Beidou still refuses to give up... you can buy a phone yourself to test its authenticity. Since we have known each other for many years, I can give you a 20% discount as a token of friendship."

20% off?

Thanks, I feel offended!

Beidou's pretty face darkened.

She has already lost so much face. If she really accepts this 20% discount, won't she be laughed at by this woman for the rest of her life?

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Tianquan, but I am not short of money!"

Pretending to be indifferent, Beidou said coldly: "Besides, I am not interested in mobile phones, so I'd better forget your kindness."

"Not interested? Are you sure?"

Ningguang found it a little funny. Does this woman know what flag she has set?

"Of course! Even if I die today! I will jump off the boat! I will not buy you a cell phone!"

The heroic pirate leader snorted coldly: "Just as I said, I will do it!"

The words just fell.

Two young sailors suddenly jumped out and said excitedly:

"Big sister? It's really you! Ah Hui and I just bought two mobile phones. This is a good thing! Our Southern Cross Fleet can't fall behind..."

Beidou: “…”

I don't have brothers like you!

……

Feeling humiliated by being sabotaged by his own younger brother, Beidou hurried away with the two young sailors, and his backs looked like he was fleeing in panic.

Ningguang watched them leave with a smile.

The sun was setting in the west and it was now evening.

After returning to the Qun Yu Pavilion and sitting down for a short while, Bai Xiao brought him a financial report, which was the profit brought by the mobile phone in the past few days.

A week has passed since the phone went on sale. In seven days, 17,000 units have been sold. This may seem like a small number at first glance, but you have to know that Qun Yu Pavilion only sold 3,000 units initially, and the extra units were all produced by working overtime during this period.

But even so, mobile phones are still in short supply.

Seventeen million Moras were easily obtained, and this was just the beginning.

Everyone was shocked by the huge benefits, their faces flushed and their eyes sparkled.

Even Ningguang couldn't help but smack her lips. Seventeen million Mora was nothing to her, but the key point was that these seventeen million Mora came too easily.

When did making money become so easy?

They only need to produce the goods and don’t even need to advertise them like before, as there are many people willing to buy them.

Having made a lot of money, Lord Tianquan, who was in a very good mood, was not stingy.

With a wave of her hand, she raised the salary of everyone present by 30%, which was greeted with cheers.

"Lord Ningguang, the huge profits in the mobile phone market have been revealed. I propose that we send more people to set up exclusive stores, recruit more workers, purchase more materials, and continue to expand the scale of production."
