The young commander smiled and said, "It's like this actually. Recently, we've been using diamonds to pay our salaries. Everyone basically plans to save them to buy clothes, so we don't have much cash."
"I mentioned to you before that I plan to expand your equipment business so that I can cover my supplies. So today I want to ask you if you are willing to open an equipment store in the port area and let other ship girls come to
What are you buying?"
Ming Miao was stunned and doubted his hearing, so he asked again: "You mean... you want to help me open a store to sell equipment?"
"Well, yes, but you may have to expand your store and open a separate section to sell equipment, so I wanted to ask for your opinion."
Ming Miao sniffed, "Then...what about Helena, meow?"
"Well... Sister Helena needs to help discuss the details with the little yellow chickens."
Mingmiao paused, then pointed at Yubari, "Then why is Yubari here, meow..."
"It's like this. Yubari feels that she is too bored sleeping at home all the time, so she plans to help you make equipment. Um...but you have to pay her extra salary and so on."
Ming Miao's expression gradually brightened, and finally he looked at Sheffield who remained silent, "Then...then why is Sheffield here...?"
Sheffield looked up at Ming Miao, then pulled out his gun and shot to the right. A small flying insect died on the spot. "As a maid, I will be wherever my master is."
After Ming Miao read it once, she looked at Su Xin with tears in her eyes, who was puzzled, and then flew over and rubbed the little conductor.
"Thank you! Thank you Commander! I will definitely work hard! Then I will make money to support you, meow!!"
"Well... no need... I'm just borrowing a name, a name, it's itchy..."
"Hey hey hey..."
ps: Don't worry about whether there are watermarks or numbers on the materials. I don't know how to deal with them. QA Q..
Chapter 320: Grand Spectacular
“Hehehe~Hehehe~”
"Hmm? Boss Ming, why do you look so happy? You've even started tearing down the wall here."
Ming Miao happily took the Coke from Phoenix, scanned the code and returned it, saying in a good mood: "Three dollars and a half... Never mind, three dollars, meow!"
"Hmm? Haven't you always sold it for yuan? Why is it suddenly cheaper today..." Phoenix took the Coke doubtfully, thought about it, and began to look at the production date carefully, "Isn't it going to expire...?"
"How is that possible! There must be nothing wrong with the things I sell here, meow!" Ming Meow patted his chest to assure, and then couldn't help but smile, "Hey hey... Actually, the Commander wants to pay to help me expand the store, meow~"
"Oh... you cheated the Commander again, didn't you?" Phoenix looked like he really couldn't do anything to you. "It seems I have to remind the Commander later, so that I won't be cheated of money by you every day."
"Don't talk nonsense! This is a win-win situation for us, meow~" After taking the supplies, Mingmiao sent Phoenix away. He looked at the exposed wall on the side and laughed foolishly.
The engineering requirements in the port area would naturally be handed over to the little yellow chickens to start the work, so the little yellow chicken captain brought his men to Ming Miao's shop again and started to work on the work that had not been completed yesterday.
Demolition work.
Ming Miao's store is already quite large, so it will take some time to demolish it. Fortunately, there is not much to demolish. We only need to break through a small part of the wall and then build an equipment store outside. During the construction process, pay attention to the bearing capacity.
Restructure is fine.
As for the decoration, it can actually be done slowly. The little commander is not in a hurry. It’s mainly because Ming Miao really can’t wait. She said that she can open the store as soon as it is completed.
Su Xin thought about it and felt that people who came to buy equipment probably wouldn't pay too much attention to the decoration of the store. This could be seen when Ming Miao was selling equipment in the mall before, so she nodded in agreement.
Yuzhang is helping Mingmiao make equipment. She and Mingmiao have agreed on the profit sharing and work content. She only needs to make the equipment, and Mingmiao will take care of the sales and pricing.
Equipment has always been Yubari's strongest point. She is also very good at making various shipgirl equipment. Even if the materials for making equipment are taken from the Siren ship by Ming Miao before, it does not affect the quality of the equipment itself at all.
quality.
But for former researcher Yubari, there is still a more difficult problem that is bothering her.
"Hmm... the quality is so good meow..."
Yubari scratched his head with the wrench, a little overwhelmed, "I was working on it... and it ended up like this, isn't the gold suit good enough?"
"It's not bad..." Ming Miao chose his words, "If you want to make money, you must sell these equipment by drawing boxes..."
"But your equipment is too good. If they don't have lower-quality equipment, they will definitely win every time they draw a lottery... Then I will lose a lot of money..."
Yubari then realized the difference between scientific research and business, but it was difficult to change the habits she had formed in the past, so she could only find ways to make the equipment she made less perfect.
After Ming Miao mentioned it, she no longer cared about it. Anyway, she didn't have to worry about the equipment, so she was happy and relaxed. She could just watch the little yellow chickens working every day and enjoy it.
As the store renovation is about to be completed, there is actually one more thing Mingmiao needs to do, which is the promotion of his own equipment store.
The reason why he was able to make a big profit from the street stall was entirely because he was located near [Calling Tide]. The good geographical location brought huge economic benefits to Ming Miao.
But that is no longer possible now. The commanding officer's port area is not in the city, and even this city is not well-known. If he really sets up a stall to sell goods in the same way as before, he probably won't be able to sell a box in two days.
Ming Miao had no way to solve this problem, because she was just a ship girl and could not accumulate popularity by advertising everywhere, so she could only find the commander again.
Commander Su Xiao had actually thought about this problem, and the solution was very simple.
She logged into the [Calling Tide] forum account, which she had not visited since registering, and suddenly found that her identity column had been officially marked with a certification label, and her private message mailbox was full of messages.
Most of them were prospective commanders expressing their desire to make friends, and a small number were sour remarks and commercial invitations. Su Xin didn't care about these and cleared them with one click.
She originally planned to use this account to authenticate her identity, and then post a message to inform the public that Boss Ming who sells equipment is her own ship girl, and that she will continue to carry out related business in the port area.
The purpose of posting this is not to attract prospective commanders to come to her port to buy equipment, but to use their social media to promote Ming Miao's equipment mall.
After all, everyone has more than one social media account. Using this method, information can be radiated to various places from one point, and these prospective commanders happen to be excellent candidates for secondary publicity.
So after Su Xin and Ming Miao's equipment store was expanded, they asked Helena to take a photo of themselves standing in front of the new store and making a V sign with one hand using their mobile phone.
In the photo, Su Xin's movements are stiff, her postures are awkward, her face is expressionless, and she is tightly dressed, like an old cadre taking a work photo. However, her appearance is so good that she looks surprisingly good.
The little commander was not very satisfied after seeing it, but she didn’t really care about the image. Anyway, she would not log into this account again after using it once, so she didn’t edit the picture and uploaded it directly with the captions.
So, the idle future commanders in [Call the Tide] were browsing the forum when they suddenly saw a golden account with identity authentication, which posted a post with pictures attached.
[A new equipment store has opened in the port area, everyone is welcome to come and buy - Su Xin]
When I clicked on it, there was not much text description, but there were quite a few photos of a simple house filled with equipment boxes of various colors, including gold, purple, blue and white.
When I scrolled to the bottom, a photo that looked very similar to an ID photo suddenly caught my eye. The forced business-like expression was very much in the style of Su Xiaozhi, and immediately attracted countless people to reply to the post, and the popularity of the post rose rapidly.
After the little commander finished sending the message, he logged out of his account, rubbed his face and breathed a sigh of relief, recovering from the unnatural state of tension.
She guessed that there would be no customers coming to her store in the short term. After all, people would not come all the way to her just to buy equipment, and it would take a lot of time to take a train.
But she didn't expect that early the next morning, she saw a lot of ship girls standing in a row outside the port gate. When they saw her passing by, they all waved to her happily.
The young commander then realized that this wave of his publicity might be more attractive to ship girls from all over the world.
Chapter 321 Beloved
"Ah! She's coming out! She's coming out!"
"Eh? Where?"
"Oh, I see! She's much cuter than in the photos and videos!"
"Really? It's so cute when you wave your hands silly!!"
Commander Su Xiao originally just wanted to take a look at how Ming Miao's equipment store was built before eating, but he didn't expect to see a large crowd of ship girls outside the door from a distance.
This was the first time she faced so many unfamiliar ship girls. Although there were many of them during events, she had little interaction with them. They would not gather at the port entrance like they did now, and wave to her when they saw her.
This made the little commander a little flustered. He waved his hands stupidly before he reacted. He quickly contacted Ming Miao and opened the door with the little yellow chickens to welcome these potential customers in.
Those strange ship girls seemed to be very curious about her. When the door opened, they all rushed over, chattering and trying to get closer so that they could take a closer look at this young commander who had been in the limelight some time ago.
Su Xin, who was socially anxious and autistic, was naturally very nervous and shrank back. Fortunately, Sheffield stepped forward with his hands folded, and said politely but firmly:
"Thank you very much for your love for the master, but please control your emotions to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts."
Upon hearing this, the ship girls stopped in their tracks and stood about two meters away from the commander. They blinked their eyes of different colors and looked at the girl who was hiding behind Sheffield.
Su Xin observed for a while and when she saw that there was no threat, she walked out from behind Sheffield, who was half a head taller than her, and greeted everyone a little stiffly. Unexpectedly, so many people responded.
"Um... Good morning everyone..."
"Good morning!!!"
“It’s my first time meeting you in person… I’m a little excited!”
"Wow... I really can't tell she's a human... She looks like a destroyer or a light cruiser. I thought she was a ship girl from the Donghuang camp."
"Yeah, and she should be a nice person. I don't sense any discomfort from her..."
"Hmmmm!"
Faced with this chaotic scene, Commander Su didn't know what to do. Fortunately, the omnipotent maid handed him a loudspeaker.
"Hmm? Sister Sheffield." Su Xin took the loud speaker commonly seen in vegetable markets, "Why do you have this thing..."
"This is prepared to wake up the owner who is sleeping late. Although it has not been used yet, it may be used in the future."
The young conductor paused, wisely choosing not to respond. He just turned on the speaker and cleared his throat without caring much about his image.
"Ahem...ah...um...are you all here...to buy equipment?"
"yes--
"But wasn't my post just posted yesterday? How come you guys got here so quickly..."
The ship girls chattered back, some came from the port area of the next city, some were wandering ship girls in the nearby area, and some even came all the way from the sea overnight.
Their purpose of coming here was very clear. In addition to meeting this commander who had an overflowing sense of justice and looked very cute and likable, they also wanted to change their equipment.
In fact, although the equipment of the ship girls is not a controlled object, any naval branch or commission point has equipment that can be obtained by relying on supplies or contribution points.
But the quality of those equipments is not very good, most of them are purple equipment, and a few gold equipments are outrageously expensive. Except for the ship girls or commanders with strong financial resources or older qualifications, it is still difficult for others to obtain gold equipment.
hard.
This is because equipment is something that really tests the skills of the maker. Since it is used by the ship girls, the equipment made in the mechanized factories is basically not easy for the ship girls to use.
This type of automated mass-produced equipment is the lowest-level blank equipment. It is affordable but the equipment parameters are impressive. If you encounter a Siren battleship, you may have to scrape your body for a whole day.
The blue equipment above is made by the ship girls who have learned the craft of equipment making. The parameters are pretty good and the price is acceptable. It is the standard equipment of most wandering ship girls.
Purple equipment is made by ship girls who are skilled in craftsmanship and have extensive experience in manufacturing equipment. This is because they know the specific parameters of various blueprints and have mastered the operational details of splicing and fusion, so the equipment they make has better coordination.
As for the gold equipment, although it is not so rare that it is hard to come by, the cost is still very high. Because there are not many ship girls who can make gold equipment, the productivity is limited, thus indirectly increasing the price of gold equipment.
On Ming Miao's side, the money from the guaranteed gold equipment in 90 draws is definitely much cheaper than buying a single piece of gold equipment you want. Even if the equipment you finally draw is not what you need, they can just exchange it with others because they have more people.
Therefore, the ship girls who are not so wealthy will naturally choose a more economical way to satisfy their needs to improve their strength. This is why there are so many customers early in the morning.
The ship girls were full of anticipation for the equipment they were about to get. Their bright eyes made the commander reluctant to let them draw the boxes. Fortunately, Ming Miao arrived in time and greeted the guests into the store, cutting off the
The kindness of the little conductor.
So Su Xin waved to every ship girl who passed by her and walked into the house, until her expressions became a little stiff, and then all these ship girls went into the equipment store and lined up.
The little commander sighed and was forced to accept the face-rubbing service from the naughty maid.
While Sheffield was gently kneading Su Xin's face, he was making plans in his mind, thinking about when to cook something to feed the little commander who didn't have much meat a little fatter.
Commander Su, who was making some "hmmmm" sounds, shuddered for no apparent reason, then shook his head and left Sheffield's hand. After thinking for a while, he ran into the supply store next door in two or three steps.
She took two large bags from the counter, one filled with milk and the other with bread, cleared out all the ready-to-eat foods in Ming Miao Grocery Store, and then dragged the bags to the front desk to pay.
The little commander with an excellent memory calculated the selling prices of these things, and just as he was about to pay, he remembered the free benefit he had gotten a few days ago, so he decisively gave himself a 28% discount, and then ran out the door with the bag.
Sheffield couldn't keep up with her speed at first. Seeing that the little conductor seemed to be planning to take the bag and distribute it directly, he quickly trotted over and stopped her.
"I'll be the one to handle this kind of thing. There are so many people inside, it might not be convenient for the host, so let's go back and eat first."
"Hmm? Oh, yes... then... I'll trouble Sister Sheffield." Su Xin handed the two large bags to Sheffield without hesitation, and then ran towards the cafeteria. "Come back soon after you've divided them, okay?"
Sheffield nodded, and when he could no longer see Su Xin's back, he leisurely carried the food into the equipment store. Amid the gratitude and praise of the ship girls, he distributed two large bags of food, and then quickly returned to the food store as instructed.
Temple
As soon as I entered the room, I saw the conductor sitting facing me and swinging his legs, with a sandwich and hot milk in front of him.
"Ah, you're back. I just asked Sister Yixian to heat it up. It should be just the right temperature. Come and eat."
Sheffield paused, nodded, walked forward and sat down without saying a word, and began to eat his breakfast quietly.
Looking at the black-haired girl next to her holding her chin and asking her "Is it delicious?", Sheffield swallowed a mouthful of hot milk and felt warm all over.
"...That's why everyone likes you so much, Master..."
