Chapter 286: Balance
It is not easy to make a puppet, especially for wingsuit armor, from material selection to polishing, assembly to commissioning, every link must not be negligent.
In the event of a malfunction, the operator falls from a high altitude, which can be life-threatening.
No matter how careful you are, there will inevitably be accidents, so Daimaru's standard for the pilots to pass the flight ability is to fly 20 kilometers with two companions under the requirements of ordinary cruising speed.
This requirement is actually to ensure that a team of three, even if only one person retains the ability to fly, can get the three out of the danger zone unharmed.
The standard is not low, so that training performance in front of everyone's eyes doesn't have much value in Daimaru's heart.
The only advantage is probably that it is an eye-opener, and when you enter and exit the training ground, you don't need to sneak around, you can pass by openly and condescendingly, and enjoy the comfort of the villagers' admiration.
……
When a rare and important matter came to an end, Daimaru took the time to take a look at the "Daimaru Workshop", which had been open for a while.
Compared with the deserted past, the store exhibition hall is really a bit of a children's paradise, and adults with children patronize the toy puppet display area from time to time.
Nowadays, the most popular is, of course, the wingsuit armor that can occasionally be seen when you look up, from palm-sized souvenirs to completely equal scale detachable and wearable models, which are already the most enviable toys for children on the streets when they play ninja games.
There were a few ninjas who came to visit, probably knowing something, and tentatively asked if they could buy real wingsuit armor.
The result, of course, was disappointment.
Wingsuit armor is a very dangerous type of puppet, without someone familiar with flying skills to teach, try it on your own, if something happens, Daimaru can't afford it.
The legendary boss who rarely appears once in the world arrives, and except for Shana and Saho and Aika Tsukitani, who know Daimaru, the other apprentices are busy entertaining guests.
Asking the two female clerks who joined first to join as a foreman and apprentice to leave themselves alone, Daimaru walked over to Shana, who greeted the customer with a smirk.
"You finally showed up, I thought you forgot that you still have a puppet shop under your name......"
"I've been so busy lately that I can't take a break from ......"
"You made those dead things in the sky, right?"
"Yes!"
"I knew it! In the morning, a large number of customized toys were put into the exhibition hall in the afternoon, and I don't know how many children were attracted to come in......"
If you are not deeply involved, it is absolutely impossible to step on the point so accurately.
"Sometimes I wonder if you're running a puppet shop or a toy store......"
Although the profit margin of selling puppets is large, it is not a huge profit, mainly for long-term development; Toys are sold just to get back quickly and reduce operational pressure.
In fact, the profit margin of selling toys is not low, as long as you grasp the preferences of children, you can really make a lot of money.
For example, this batch of winged armor toys, although it can only earn a wave of dollars, but the profit contributed has accounted for more than half of the total profit, and the selling of puppets accounts for only a quarter, and the rest are earned by leasing puppets and maintenance and after-sales service.
"A puppet shop, of course! Be sure to prioritize ......"
Although the toy market also has potential, it is not as influential as selling puppets, and are toy dealers comparable to arms dealers?
Which one to choose, Lockheed Martin or Lego, do you still need to hesitate? You can choose the wrong one, I'm afraid I'm not a fool.
Although the proportion of business profits is not large, the income is still steadily increasing, and as the reputation gradually becomes known, the reputation is not bad, and it is also well-known among some puppeteers.
"You just have to grasp it, and you must not let my sister suffer losses."
"Don't worry!"
Daimaru confidently assured.
Now that the whole village is watching the progress of the air team, a key person like Daimaru will definitely not find fault for a while.
After casually flipping through the recent business situation, Daimaru couldn't help but ask:
"The advanced version of the puppet tarantula actually sells better! How many rich people are there in the village? ”
Shanai replied:
"Ordinary official puppeteers, there are not many poor people like you......"
It does cost a lot of money to buy a puppet, but in the tasks encountered by the general lower ninja or even the middle ninja, there are very few things that can destroy the puppet, and there are not too many times when it needs to be repaired and maintained.
Because the number of puppeteers is not large, the demand for other forbearance equipment is relatively small, and under the diligence and thrift, as long as there is no pressure to support the family, it is still relatively easy to save money.
The puppeteers that Daimaru meets on weekdays are masters like Kankuro and Miss Shaya, who are not bad for money, and they are used to being lavish; In addition, Daimaru does not have a good habit of thrift in ninjutsu practice, and has always pursued the purpose of being cheap and not good, and he uses the best if he wants to use it, so he also looks very poor.
"It's me who thinks it's bad!"
The puppeteer is indeed a bottomless pit when it comes to luxury, but as long as you want to, you can still save money.
In fact, the basic version of the puppet spider also sells well, but the customer's inherent impression of the positioning of the product seems to have been generated.
The basic version is the beggar's version, a low-end product rented by poor ghosts to practice their hands.
It's not bad to buy the upgraded version, so everyone who can afford a puppet wants to grit their teeth and buy a puppet tarantula.
It doesn't matter if you don't have enough money, you can pay in installments to reduce the pressure of payment, and by the way, take care of the puppet brothers!
Of course, this is interest-bearing and not low. As for how to mortgage and how to repay debts, that's another financial version of the story of cutting leeks, these sand ninjas, who are so simple that they don't even have a simple economic concept, are embarrassed to wield Daimaru's scythe too diligently.
"Puppet leasing and buying and selling walk on two legs, it looks stable, there shouldn't be much of a problem, so be it!"
As he spoke, Omaru took out an envelope from his bosom and weighed it, it was quite heavy.
"Repay your sister's principal and interest this month, and help me transfer it......
"I don't want ......"
Shanai stretched out his hands to refuse,
"I handed it over to you last time, and I suffered a lot of complaints. You should go by yourself to repay the money, appear sincere, and thank my sister for her magnanimity by the way......"
"I'm not busy, I don't have time to ......"
"Hey, my sister lives next door, you say you don't have time, who is it? I cheated my sister out of the benefits, and I hid far away, and I was really an ungrateful guy......"
"This ...... What a thing! ”
Daimaru looked embarrassed.
It's not that Daimaru doesn't want to see Miss Shaye, but every time he goes to look for her, something unexpected always happens, which makes Daimaru feel uneasy.
