Chapter 188: Technology Iteration
The display was soon completed, and Zhang Xun ordered these things to be removed, and even the ministers dispersed.
The reason why Zhang Xun summoned so many people here did not have any other thoughts, just to let more people in this world witness the final dawn of the industrial revolution.
When the main hall was empty, only a few people remained.
Duran finally let out a long breath and asked with a complicated expression, "Your Majesty, this kind of machine is called the Jenny Machine?"
"Yes. โ
"Why is that name?"
"It doesn't matter. Zhang Xun shook his head, glanced at the hourglass on the main hall, and said, "You just need to tell me if you are satisfied with it." โ
Duran raised his hands and put them down, as if he could not express his inner emotions, but the excellent qualities of the messenger finally calmed him down, Duran groaned, and said: "I am afraid that no one has the courage to express his dissatisfaction with this Jenny, I admit that it does have a great effect on the East, I think not only the East, but any merchant with a little brains can see the wealth it represents, so I don't think you will give it to us so simply." โ
Zhang Xun smiled and said, "I think we can do a business." โ
When it comes to business, Duran suddenly smiles, Easterners love to do business the most.
"What price do you want?" he asked.
Zhang Xun frowned, he was not good at bargaining, looking around, he regretted for a while that he did not leave the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
"It depends on what you think the value of the Jenny machine is. โ
Du Lan listened to the salute, straightened his clothes, and said with a negotiation temperament with otherworldly characteristics: "Your Majesty, if I were to make a personal evaluation, the Jenny machine that can greatly increase the number of weaving fabrics is really a priceless treasure, but just now I carefully looked at the structure of the Jenny machine and found that ...... It doesn't seem complicated, and I'd like to take the liberty of asking, how much time did it take to make this Jenny machine?"
Zhang Xun glanced at Ruhr, who was standing aside.
Ruhr, who has slowly gained a hint of the consciousness of being an official, said: "Not counting the time of drawing design, simply calculate the total processing and manufacturing time, including the modification time, the total time is not more than two days, but this is relatively good luck, the research institute has sufficient materials, His Majesty's drawings are detailed, and it has only been modified three times, especially this machine is commanded by five alchemists and completed by ten apprentices." โ
Duran nodded and pointed out, "But it's only because it's the first time I've made it, so may I ask this ...... Director, if it takes to replicate one, can ordinary people be competent to make it?"
Luer glanced at Zhang Xun, and only after getting an affirmative look did he say: "If you need to copy, the speed can be increased by more than ten times, ordinary people can't be qualified for production work in a short time, but after short-term training, it's not a big problem." โ
"Okay, thank you for the puzzle. A smile appeared on Duran's aristocratic pink face, and he looked at the Iron Throne leisurely and said, "Your Majesty, this Jenny Machine is indeed magical, but the structure is not very complicated, but if the asking price is too high, it is not suitable, because once this thing is leaked, anyone else can easily copy it, you know, the competition that the queen needs to face is very fierce." โ
Zhang Xun stretched out his hand to interrupt Duran, he blinked, sat on the Iron Throne, thought for a moment, and said, "You mean that the Jenny Machine is easy to imitate, so it is not appropriate to buy it at a large price?"
"To be precise, we are willing to pay a price that you are satisfied with for the first batch of Jenny machines, but over time, when the Jenny machines are copied in large quantities...... In fact, we don't even need to order from Eagle Fly. Duran said slowly, bowing his head to express his apologies for the rude words.
The faces of the remaining ministers in the main hall all sank.
Looking at Duran with a bad gaze.
Zhang Xun was not surprised, he was not stupid at this point, especially in the most powerful copycat empire in Blue Star, a copycat power that almost any commodity in the world could copy, he had already been mentally prepared for this.
So not long after Duran's words fell, Zhang Xun suddenly showed a chuckle.
"Huh. โ
This laughter resounded clearly in the hall, but what was surprising was that there was not much anger in his laughter, but it seemed to contain an attitude that it was.
"Duran, why do you think I am so comfortable and bold to show the Jenny Machine in public? Or, since I did that, am I still afraid of plagiarism? You may have forgotten, and I forgot to remind you again, do you remember the full name of the Jenny Machine? I said it before. โ
"Full name?" Duran looked up, his handsome aristocratic face blank.
"Jenny Loom Generation. Suddenly, Master Lu, who was standing aside, opened his mouth and reminded.
This time, everyone's faces were stunned.
"Generation, do you mean ......," Duran was startled.
But when he saw the Eagle King on the Iron Throne, he smiled faintly and said, " Of course, it is one generation, there is one generation, of course, there are two generations, three generations, the difference in efficiency between each two classes is like a gap between heaven and earth, let's just say it, I want to do not a hammer deal with the queen, but a long-term business, the Jenny machine generation you can choose to make your own, or order from the eagle, but our transaction does not stop there, when there is a large-scale textile phenomenon in the east, resulting in the queen's royal shop has no advantage, we will provide you with the upgraded second generation of Jenny machine, and so on, three generations, four generations, I guarantee in the name of the Eagle Yang King that the efficiency gap between every two generations is ten timesLet the Queen's royal family industry remain absolutely industry-leading for years to come!...... Do you think the Jenny machine is worth enough money?"
After Zhang Xun finished speaking, he leisurely looked at the stunned crowd.
Not only Duran, but everyone couldn't think about it for a short time under Zhang Xun's promise.
Because this kind of buying and selling relationship has never existed in the five countries, for these wise people, being inspired immediately led to countless thoughts.
They don't understand what the weird feeling in their hearts is, only Zhang Xun knows that what he throws out is a new thing of technological iteration, or it can also be called a kind of "after-sales service" in a broad sense.
This method of sale has been widely used in Bluestar, and the closest to people's lives is mobile phones.
After the user buys a mobile phone, the mobile phone manufacturer will upgrade the mobile phone system version online from time to time, constantly optimize the system performance and provide new functional experience, so especially for the player, the purchase of mobile phone hardware is only one aspect, and the other is the purchase of software system services.
The more typical is iPhone users, and the reason why they buy is largely for the stability of the iOS system.
Another example is Luo Yulong's hammer, and the feelings of its buyers largely fall on the smarisan OS system carried by the mobile phone.
It's all the same thing.
The reason why Zhang Xun willfully threw out the sales plan in the form of technical iteration is to buy the Jenny machine at a good price, and the most important thing is that according to his plan, in the near future, when the industrial revolution is really promoted, the traditional textile tools of the Jenny machine will also face elimination, that is, it will not be eliminated, and the profits it generates are not important compared to the industrial manufacturing machines.
There was silence in the hall for a while.
Finally, Duran couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice, "What you said is true?"
Zhang Xun chuckled: "You have no jokes. โ
"Well, in that case, I'll take over the business on behalf of the queen for the time being!" said Duran.
"Do you have this permission?" Zhang Xun looked at him strangely.
Durรกn smiled, "The Queen is my aunt by seniority, and I believe that the wise Queen would be more decisive than I promised if she were here." โ
"Oh?" Zhang Xun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Okay, order someone to prepare a dinner party!" โ
