Chapter 30: The Magic Candle

Sent away Gu San, Gao Feng was about to call Gao Youxian to go to the market, but he heard a hearty voice at the door: "Brother Gao, I'm here to witness the miracle." ”

"Li Yuanwai came, and he missed the distance, how can there be any miracle in the kid? You have been in the world for a long time, and you have witnessed countless miracles, and in front of you, I am all a class with an axe, and I am not worth mentioning. Seeing that Li Qikun was coming, Gao Feng hurriedly caught up.

"You kid, you have a mouth that talks about the dead of the living." Li Qikun quipped.

"The brat who boasted about the outside was ashamed, but it was nothing to say that the living were dead, and it was worth it if the dead were alive. Do you think, if someone dies in the future, please let me go over and talk about it, how good it is to be able to come back to life! It's definitely a way to make money. Gao Feng said nonsense.

"Haha, aren't you going to be an old monster then?" Li Qikun was amused by Gao Feng.

"Folding longevity, folding longevity, I'm a little monster at most, and I'm still young in front of you." Gao Feng said humbly.

"There really is your kid, just after I told you, I scolded you in a roundabout way, and I didn't want to suffer at all." Li Qikun feigned anger.

"How dare I scold you? I said that you are a god. Gao Feng said respectfully.

was made to shake his head by Gao Feng's cheekiness, and in desperation, Li Qikun had no choice but to say: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, take out the things quickly." ”

"Li Yuanwai, please come with me." Gao Feng made a gesture of invitation and led Li Qikun out of the hall.

Inside the hall, the peak has long been prepared. On a table, there was a wooden box, open the wooden box, dozens of candles were neatly placed inside, Gao Feng took out one and handed it to Li Qikun.

Li Qikun took the candle and looked left and right a few times, sniffed it with his nose, and said: "Yes, this is indeed a candle, but this candle is a little strange, more slippery than the usual one." ”

Isn't this nonsense? I'll call you if it's not a candle, and besides, of course, it's slippery, it's made of lard.

Gao Feng smiled and did not answer, but took out the fire fold and lit the candle.

A bright flame rose in an instant, illuminating the dimly lit room.

Watching the fire flickering, Li Qikun's bad quality did not happen. Candles burn almost like other candles, with no black smoke or smell, and even burn at a similar rate and brightness, except for a slight difference in appearance, which is really the same as a regular candle.

"What a penny?" Li Qikun reverted to the truth again.

"Nothing less." Gao Feng said calmly.

"This candle is no worse than other candles, why is it so cheap? Alas, no, no, it seems that it is better, why is there no candle heart? As Li Qikun spoke, his eyes suddenly widened, as if he had really seen a miracle.

Li Qikun said that the peak of the candle heart is to know that it is the candle left after the candle burns, which is not burned out and charred, in order to ensure that the candle continues to burn normally, it is necessary to use scissors to cut off the candle line that has not burned out from time to time. Li Shangyin once described in a poem: "Why should he cut the candles in the west window together, but when it rains at night in Bashan." This first sentence is about cutting candlesticks.

Gao Feng laughed and said, "My candles don't need to cut the heart." ”

"Why?" Li Qikun involuntarily asked, forgetting about the price of candles.

Seeing that he was in a hurry, Gao Feng had no choice but to explain: "Outside, you see, the candle we used before was a thread, and this thread was solid, and it burned no matter how much it burned, so it left a long section outside." I used three thin threads for this candle, and when the three thin threads were kneaded together, they burned the same as a normal candle, but after burning this part, the three threads separated, so that the flame could burn out the thread without leaving the candle core. ”

Afraid that Li Qikun would not understand, Gao Feng did not dare to use professional terms, so he could only explain in this easy-to-understand way.

"Wonderful! That's a wonderful idea! Gao Feng, you're amazing. Li Qikun really understood, and he stretched out his thumb to Gao Feng and praised.

You think I came up with it, I don't have that ability, don't underestimate this little thing, it's the invention of later scientists.

"Haha, the staff praised it falsely, as long as the staff has no opinion on the candle, the kid will be satisfied." Gao Feng Qian gave in.

"How can I have an opinion on such a good candle? By the way, Brother Gao, what are your candles made of? Why is it so cheap? Thinking of the price again, Li Qikun finally couldn't help but ask, and even his brother shouted.

It's so easy for me to give up the patent, you think I'm an idiot, even if I call my brother.

However, this is really difficult to answer, if you don't answer, Li Qikun must have responded in his heart, and he departed from his original intention to answer.

Seeing Gao Feng's hesitation, Li Qikun knew that he had asked the wrong question, so he immediately said: "It's me who is hypocritical, so I shouldn't ask this sentence." ”

"Outside, since we are business partners, I don't dare to deceive, in fact, the candle is made of animal oil, but my production method can't tell you for the time being, please forgive me." Gao Feng had to say.

There is nothing to hide from the use of animal oil to make candles, and it is estimated that it cannot be hidden, as long as someone has a heart to investigate the input of raw materials, it can be seen, however, the method of making candles really cannot be told, at least until he earns enough money.

When he came to this world, Gao Feng didn't want to be a savior, he couldn't save so many poor people, the most important thing is that the savior is so good? Even the government doesn't agree with him doing this, saving people wins fame, why do you want so much fame?

Before he finds a better way, he is still willing to be an ordinary citizen who is desperately trying to earn money, so that at least he can feel at ease, and at the same time bring safety to himself and his family.

"Animal oil can also be used to make candles? It's a novelty, but it's not surprising that Brother Gao is capable of making this thing, I believe it, and let's talk about the contract. Li Qikun no longer doubted Gao Feng and mentioned the contract.

The contract is relatively simple, that is, to talk about the agreed price of the candle, how much to share, supply guarantee, and so on.

In this regard, Gao Feng already knew in his heart, and agreed with Li Qikun, and finally the two of them finalized that the selling price would be ten cents lower than the price of the existing candles on the market.

Why not just set a penny or a penny, but refer to the market price? The main thing is that he can't produce so much at the peak, and if the price is really set so low, won't it cause a rush in the market, and then he can't take out a candle, which will inevitably cause chaos in the market. In fact, this is the price, which will also cause a sensation in the market, and even offend some peers, but the impact is relatively small.

This kind of pricing also has a purpose, that is, to take a gradual price reduction method, to give the public and peer merchants a transitional adaptation period, the next step will be to gradually lower the level, and finally make the public can use candles, and the purpose of the peak has been achieved.

As for the sharing, the two sides have adopted a mutual trust approach, each accounting for 50 percent, and no one has an opinion on this.

In terms of supply, Gao Feng has not been able to make too many guarantees, his manpower is insufficient, and the supply is unstable, so he can only take one step at a time, but 30,000 per month can still be guaranteed.

In the next step, Gao Feng will also develop other models of candles, which will also be handed over to Li Qikun for sale, which are also written into the contract.

After signing the contract, Li Qikun said goodbye and left, but as soon as he walked out of the door, he muttered: "It's really a genius!" ”
