I have a magical world

Chapter 102 Bicycle Factory, Mysterious Friend [Seeking Pursuit II] [A must-read for readers who are not smart]

[Contains clues and extended content, a must-read for readers who are not smart]

…

Blue Star time at 8:49 am on May 25th.

Chen Xuan appeared in the rental house.

He first took off his bulletproof vest and clothes.

He walked into the bathroom naked.

Standing in front of the washbasin mirror, he mobilized his magic energy and activated the [Second Level Stealth Technique].

His figure in the mirror quickly became fainter, until it became almost transparent.

After moving his arms and trying to take a few steps, he found that the stealth effect was not as seamless as he imagined.

It's probably similar to the ghost mode in a certain FPS online game.

If you are in an environment without strong direct light, as long as you stay still, it will be difficult to detect it with the naked eye.

But if you are under the scorching sun or in some areas with special light and shadow environments, you can vaguely see the blurry outline of your body.

In addition, the stealth effect will be further reduced when walking.

If the magic element is activated, the outline will become more obvious.

Afterwards, Chen Xuan did a lot of tests. He put on clothes and shoes and found that the stealth effect was not affected.

Only after covering the additional clothing, the magic energy consumption will increase slightly.

It is not yet certain whether it can lead people to sneak, after all, dead things are different from living things.

After exiting the stealth state, Chen Xuan felt slightly tired.

It's not that the magic skill consumes too much, but that he has used the [plug-in] ability many times in Naroya before.

He took a shower directly, the shower could completely relax him.

After washing, he took out the bicycle from the storage compartment indoors.

There were ten bicycles in the first batch at Naroa.

Ophelia, Rebecca, and he each kept one, and the Blacksmiths' Guild bought four, including one from the first sale.

There were also two scattered adventurers who bought the last one, and the last one was bought by Ansetus.

Compared with the sales of mules, horses and oxen in the city, this sales volume is estimated to be less than a fraction of a day. Originally, Chen Xuan's plan was to slowly popularize it, but the order from the Blacksmith Association opened up new ideas for him.

Naroya has a blacksmith workshop, alchemy and mechanical engineering.

The various runes and magical creations are certainly magical.

However, these technologies are not yet ready for large-scale mass production, and the costs in all aspects are not low.

Of course, Naroa also has cheap hand-operated vehicles such as carts.

But it can't compare to bicycles in terms of performance.

Therefore, the positioning of the bicycle is very simple, that is, under the rune creation and above the conventional tools.

As one of the most popular means of transportation in Blue Star.

As long as it is a road that mules and horses can walk, then a bicycle can walk, even if it is impossible.

Any black iron-level magic practitioner can pick up the 28-bar and run.

The horizontal bar design is the biggest feature of the 28 bar.

It increases the strength and stability of the bicycle body, which naturally greatly enhances the load-bearing capacity of the bicycle.

At the same time, the crossbar is equivalent to an additional "hanging point" that allows the bicycle to carry more goods or people.

Twenty or thirty years ago in a certain place, there was an example of a 28-bar carrying a heavy object of nearly one ton traveling for seven kilometers.

In addition, the stable design of the horizontal bar also greatly reduces the probability of vehicle damage.

The most typical example of widespread use is the postal "28 large bars" used by postmen at that time.

Basically one for each person.

Of course, that horizontal bar is also a nightmare for countless children.

If we talk about other world records for bicycles, there are more.

It’s just that times have changed, and many young people’s impressions of transportation have also changed.

But bicycles are just "old", not "dead".

It can carry Blue Star's last century, and it can carry Naroa's current universal tool needs.

The Blacksmiths Guild was a breakthrough.

The most important thing is that many of Blue Star's industrial products still have great potential for practical use in Naroa.

How to choose products is the key, and it’s okay not to mention the bells and whistles.

The main direction of attack must be various practical tools.

Chen Xuan wants to find common ground between mass production industrialization and magic energy technology.

That's why he prepared to communicate with the blacksmith who was said to be frantically looking for clues about firearms.

If you just want to make quick money, magic tears and aluminum ingots are enough.

But he is unwilling to stop there. Business expansion is only the first step. Gradually having a huge influence in the entire Naroa is his wish.

In theory, the entire Blue Star can become his factory.

The first thing he has to do now is to secure the order for 300 bicycles.

Instead of stupidly going to an online store to buy, he read the manufacturer information on the nameplate.

Directly search the manufacturer's official website and quickly find the contact information of the external sales department.

This factory is called [Zhejiang Hangcheng Shanxiao Qianjiang Bicycle Factory].

Chen Xuan checked the company's information through a certain check.

It was found that there have been 53 violations in recent years, as well as debt warnings and lawsuits.

The factory was established in 2001.

The main business projects are: bicycle and stroller assembly, bicycle accessories, and stroller accessories manufacturing and processing*.

It is still in existence, but its major shareholder Yang Renyong has a record of being restricted and exposed to high risks.

After further inquiries, Chen Xuan discovered that the factory had operational problems and was on the verge of bankruptcy.

In fact, what Chen Xuan bought was not a real "permanent card".

It's just brand licensing.

However, those 28-bar bicycles are still relatively solid in terms of workmanship and quality.

He doesn't care about the other party's business conditions. After all, bicycle factories across the country have been having a hard time over the past few years.

Either transform into battery cars, or specialize and make road, track and touring cars.

Very few factories continue to maintain production lines for everyday cars like the 28-bar.

"How about buying it directly?"

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes. He was searching for relevant information and found several pieces of information about Yang Renyong, the actual controller of the factory, on the webpage of the local forum...

That guy might be able to get in touch.

And if you plan for the long term, buying a factory is definitely more cost-effective than ordering to extend your life.

Moreover, the other party is a factory integrating production and sales, with R\u0026D foundation and technical reserves.

In the future, as long as it is thoroughly mastered, the two worlds can conduct joint research.

It's not as empty as a downstream assembly and OEM factory, but it still has something.

Times make heroes, and whether business can succeed is often closely related to the general environment.

Thinking of this, he flicked his wrist and took out a black iron-grade [Contract Bead].

The bicycle factory is just the first step. If the attempt is successful, Chen Xuan's industrial logistics map will be stable in the future.

As long as bicycles are sold in Naroya, it means profits.

It’s not just crown income, it’s also of great significance to influence and business layout.

Without much hesitation, Chen Xuan immediately took out the senior phone named by the great master "Zhang Hetao" and dialed the phone number of the factory.

"Dudududu..."

After waiting for half a minute, the call was connected.

"Hello, hello, this is Shanxiao Qianjiang Bicycle Factory."

"Where are you from?"

A steady female voice came from the big speaker of the elderly machine.

"Hello, I would like to order 300 28-bar style bicycles."

"The nameplate batch number is QJ7027."

Chen Xuan said straight to the point, there is no need to hide your head and tail when purchasing.

For such a factory that is about to close down, it has thousands of dealers and distributors nationwide.

The key point is that bicycles are not licensed commodities, but just a small wave in the capital circulation river.

Sure enough, when the other party heard his words, he immediately became more enthusiastic.

"Yes, yes!"

"I see that your number belongs to Qian Province. Are your stores and warehouses there too?"

Anyone who buys 300 vehicles at a time must either have a large car dealer or a small local wholesaler.

The factory will first inquire about the location to determine the local distribution situation.

"I am not a dealer. These bicycles are purchased for my own use."

"Do you have any goods in your factory now?"

His words suddenly reduced the enthusiasm on the other side.

If a large wholesaler develops, it would be normal to generate several million more sales every year.

If the order is broken up, the appeal will not be that great.

But this is still a purchase worth more than 100,000 yuan, which is a mouthful of meat anyway.

The situation in the factory is a bit complicated now, and no business can be missed.

"I understand, please wait a moment."

After the other party replied, there was a sound of typing on the keyboard.

"The factory direct sales price here can give you 578 yuan per vehicle, but it does not include logistics fees."

"The invoice will be given to you before the next quarter's filing period."

Chen Xuan didn't say anything. Compared with the free shipping price of 680 yuan in his online store, 578 yuan was about 15% cheaper.

In fact, he knows that the wholesale price in the physical industry will be about 15% to 30% lower than the market price.

As for the real ex-factory price, it is even lower.

The factory will give different prices according to customers of different sizes.

"Okay, I'll go there myself."

"The address of your factory is xxxx, Chengxiang Street, Shanxiao District, right?"

"Yes, if you tell the doorman to come to the sales department to discuss business, someone will usher you in."

The other party replied concisely and concisely, maybe because he thought Chen Xuan was getting high.

"I'll go to your office to talk in person this afternoon, and maybe I'll order more."

"Okay, waiting for your arrival."

…

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xuan immediately booked a high-speed rail ticket to Hangzhou in an hour.

The journey takes only 52 minutes, but there is still more than 20 kilometers from Hangcheng East Station to Chengxiang Street.

Fortunately, the APP shows that the area is not too congested, and you can get there in more than half an hour by taxi.

It was 9:27 in the morning, and Chen Xuan figured it would be better to go there at two or three in the afternoon.

The journey definitely wouldn't take that long, but he still had to make some preparations before entering the factory.

After changing into a refreshing outfit and bringing his ID card, Chen Xuan set off directly.

I was too lazy to cover up my face, after all, there were too many traces left behind when I acted in the country.

There is no need to cover your ears, as long as it does not touch the area of ​​regulatory rules and behaves naturally.

This time he will try to make a contract with Blue Star. If the trial fails, then he will activate the alternative plan and honestly accept the goods and leave.

By the way, I took out another 49,900 cash and found a paper bag to put it in.

Chen Xuan just walked out of the house.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lin Qiang, who lived upstairs, walking down the stairs in casual clothes.

Compared to the rush on weekdays, this guy is very calm on weekends.

"What a coincidence, you are going out too!"

"Why haven't I seen you catching the subway in the morning lately?"

"Is there a changing of the guard?"

Lin Qiang wore a black knee-length skirt today with lace trim.

A large area of ​​white and greasy skin was exposed on the neck and shoulders, as well as a four-leaf clover necklace.

She put on light makeup, her eyebrows and eyes were full of spring color, and she looked carefully groomed.

Chen Xuan glanced at her and gave her a friendly and perfunctory smile.

"I was laid off."

"I'm preparing to start my own business."

He casually said that there was no need to lie to Lin Qiang about his job.

"Oh...it's great to start a business!"

"Then I wish you immediate success!"

"If you get rich, don't forget to arrange a good job for me."

"This Lian family is becoming increasingly unable to continue."

The two parties were just acquaintances and had no conflicts, so Lin Qiang did not ridicule his unemployment.

Although Lin Qiang longed to fly up a branch and become a phoenix in Tianhai City.

But she knew very well that Chen Xuan, like her, was a little ant struggling in this city.

After chatting for a few words, she nodded gently and walked past Chen Xuan.

I accidentally caught a glimpse of the cash in the paper bag in his hand, but I wasn't surprised.

"It should be a small-cost business."

"It's a pity. With such a handsome appearance and a solid job, it's hard to fall into the trappings."

She thought to herself, disapproving of this.

I thought Chen Xuan started his business by setting up a street stall.

Tens of thousands of dollars in the Magic City is really just a small splash.

The two walked out of the community one after another, and soon Lin Qiang got into an Audi A7 waiting on the roadside.

It was an imported old model, but the butt of the car was really handsome.

As the car drove out along the street, Chen Xuan saw Lin Qiang, the co-pilot, smiling happily.

Compared to before, Lin Qiang was a "normal" young man in this city.

And he already felt out of place.

Shrugging, Chen Xuan stopped a taxi and rushed towards the high-speed rail station.

…

Magtan City.

The sixth water clock hour on Sunday.

There are many people borrowing classics in the bustling library.

In a secret room deep in the museum, Yusula was sitting on a chair, holding her head and listening to the report of a strange guy in front of her.

This guy's body is humanoid, but his face is covered with scales, and his eyes are yellow vertical eyes belonging to cold-blooded animals, and his tongue is forked.

There is no nose, only nostrils, and he often spits out letters when he is quiet. He is a relatively rare snake man in the local area.

"That's just the way it is."

"The groom at Boltan Village Inn said that your stepdaughter rushed to the village inn with a cat-eared girl and a human male."

"Shortly afterwards, there was heavy fighting."

"But no one saw how Master Harward died."

Yusula was silent for a while, then stretched out his hand to rub the center of his brow.

"I know that bitch Ophelia has a lot of weird friends."

"But that's not the point. I want to know who those people are!"

There was always an air of hostility in her words.

I saw the snake man spit out the letter and took out a simple drawing from behind.

A peculiar vehicle is drawn on it.

Two thick horizontal bars hold two large tires on the same plane.

"What's this?"

"The means of transportation used by the other party."

"The groom was very impressed by this thing. It may be the creation of a certain town's blacksmiths' guild."

The snake man handed over the picture and said lightly.

But she saw Yusula staring at the simple drawing thoughtfully. After looking at it for several minutes, she slowly spoke.

"I think I saw this thing in the manor a few days ago..."

"Keep checking!"

"There is a lot of mobility in the city. If you can't find anyone, let me check this strange traffic tool!"

"Besides, Ophelia has organized a caravan and sent people to keep an eye on it."

"As for the bug scouts behind me, we don't need to deal with them for the time being."

"The library has many secret passages, and its history is almost as old as this city!"

"Just because those bed bugs still want to catch me!"

"Ansetus is sending himself to the abyss ahead of schedule!"

Ursula said viciously.

The snake man bowed and bowed, then exited the secret room.

Not long after, the bookcase blocking one of the secret passages suddenly flipped over.

Bezos, wearing a jazz uniform, walked out, dusting his shoulders.

"Dear, didn't we agree not to see each other during the day?"

"Zuzana Finley, that tigress is very alert during the day!"

"It's best to wait until she drinks somnolence grass at night before we meet again!"

Bezos couldn't help but scolded.

"snort!"

Yusula snorted coldly.

"Ansetus has noticed."

"Perhaps we can move earlier."

"If I can take back the colchicum business group that belongs to our son, I can ask for help from the family."

"Those trade routes he has mastered have been operated for nearly twenty years and are of vital importance to the family."

"And I was tired of acting with him every day."

She said with a frown.

But I saw Bezos looking troubled.

"Originally, we could have taken action within four Narro days..."

"I've even convinced Tigress to take her daughters to visit relatives at Henry's outpost."

"But just three water hours ago, a warning from the Adventurers Association was sent to the city hall."

"It is said that there are signs of monster alliance rituals appearing in many caves outside the city."

"Four related commissioned investigation orders have been issued previously, and all participants have lost contact."

At this point, he paused for a moment and swallowed a mouthful of saliva to moisten his throat.

“Do you know who the commissioned publisher is?”

He asked pretending to be mysterious.

This made Ursula, who had a bad temper, very angry.

"Damn it, tell me!"

"Um... the person who commissioned the publication is none other than your 'baby' stepdaughter, Ophelia Sharon Axl!"

As soon as these words came out, Yusula looked shocked and immediately asked,

"So she discovered the strange movements of the monsters in advance?"

Bezos nodded in agreement.

"Her friends are not simple!"

"Even a team of bronze-level adventurers may not be able to escape from this kind of thing."

"But her friends could know."

No one thinks Ophelia discovered this on her own.

All the blame was placed on her mysterious "friend".

Through piecing together various clues.

They imagined a powerful and mysterious "friend".

"what should we do?"

Ursula was suddenly confused.

The imaginary enemy changed from known to unknown.

Bezos put his arm around her shoulders and whispered in the wind.

"Find her friends!"

…

Isn’t the Blue Star plot coming?

Don’t worry if it’s a little cheesy in some places, the author likes to go against the grain.

The gameplay is a foreshadowing that looks vulgar but is actually reversed.

Many people said that I was cheating, but that person would not agree.

Please wait patiently for the plot to be extended. When it finally comes to an end, it’s not too late to spray it if you feel it’s a bit toxic, my dears.

In addition, the two worlds must be written interspersed.

To sum up, it is the three elements of killing and exploring.
