Chapter 59: A mountain of scrap metal
Ling Feng came to the hall and saw some people waiting there, and the arrival of these people made Ling Feng's eyes light up.
"Uncle Locke, Tianya, when did Chen Fan come back?" These people were the Locke who went to the dwarven gathering place to find someone to come over, which made Ling Feng very excited, he was just about to make a weapon, it seemed that there was no need to go to those blacksmith shops to build it. Locke and these people came at the right time, now they can make steel, they can craft weapons of steel.
"We came back last night, and I was going to come to you right away. But the uncle said it was too late, and told me to rest for the night. Chen Fan couldn't wait to answer.
"It didn't matter if you came last night, I'm still 'sleeping'. Ling Feng smiled and said, "Uncle, are these people you looking for?" Ling Feng saw that in addition to the three of them, there were a few dwarves on the side, and it was estimated that these dwarves were the people Locke had found.
"Yes, they were found by me. Everyone has a skill that we need right now. After speaking, Locke began to introduce those dwarves, indeed everyone has a skill, among them there are also those who can refine and mine, which is what Ling Feng wants most now.
"It's really good, uncle, all the people you are looking for are elites. We'll go to you right now, get our stuff ready and head to Blackstone Mountain. I urgently need a weapon right now. Ling Feng said to Locke, he was very satisfied with the people Locke had found.
"Blackstone Mountain, where are you going?" Locke, he only knew that Ling Feng had bought Blackstone Mountain, but he didn't know what Ling Feng was going to do in Blackstone Mountain. Not only him, but even Chen Fan and Fang Tianya are the same.
Ling Feng looked around and pretended to be mysterious: "When the time comes, you will know, and it is useless to tell you now." Be mentally prepared and don't be taken aback by then, haha......"
"Cut ......," Chen Fan said, "Isn't it just smelting? I don't know how much I've seen this month, but my uncle has taken us to a lot of places." During this time, Chen Fanfang Tianya followed Locke to many places, followed Locke everywhere to find people, and naturally saw a lot of things.
"Oh, is that so?" Ling Feng said nonchalantly. He saw that Chen Fan and Fang Tianya had indeed grown a lot, and the experience of watching this period of time was very helpful to them.
"Of course!" Chen Fan said proudly.
"Okay, I know you can do it. Let's do things first. Ling Feng said.
"Okay, let's go back to my shop first, get our things ready and go to that Blackstone Mountain. "Locke believed that Ling Feng wouldn't do meaningless things, and there must be a reason why he wanted them to go to Blackstone Mountain.
Ling Feng and the others were now standing in front of Locke's shop, looking at the front in amazement.
"Long Tian, are we in the wrong place, is this the uncle's shop?" Chen Fan looked at the front blankly and asked Ling Feng next to him.
"I think it should be!" replied Ling Feng.
"I don't think so, it was definitely not like that when I left. Fang Tianya said affirmatively.
"yes, we must have been in the wrong place. Chen Fan nodded desperately.
"This is my shop, I've been here for so many years, how could I go wrong. It's just that it's a little different from the way I just left, it looks a little different. Locke said.
"It's not just a little, it's completely different. Uncle, did we have any of these things when we left?" Chen Fan pointed to the front.
"No, absolutely not!" Fang Tianya continued.
"Long Tian, tell me what's going on? Locke asked, pointing ahead.
"What's going on? You see it's your house, fence or wall, house or house, nothing has changed. Ling Feng said nonchalantly.
"The house is unchanged!, but ......," exclaimed Locke, "look at the things in the yard, which are as tall as houses." Thanks to this, you can still see that the house has not changed. ”
"It's not very high, it's not too much. Ling Feng said nonchalantly.
"Not much! If only my yard has it, it's not much. Locke frowned, a few black lines appeared on his forehead, and roared: "Now don't talk about the nearby houses, even the streets are filled with scrap metal like this." Is this still my old weapons shop? Is it still the same street?"
In front of everyone now, there is a mountain of scrap metal, which spreads around Locke's shop. The nearby houses and streets were basically piled up, and if they were put on Earth, they would definitely be confiscated by the city management, making Ling Feng's acquisition in vain.
With the help of Lin Fanyun and others, the speed of acquisition has skyrocketed, and soon there will be no enough place to put it in the yard. Later, it was placed on the street outside, but soon there was not enough for the door. So Lin Fanyun suggested renting a nearby house or buying it directly, anyway, the money Ling Feng left behind was enough to buy this block. Tie Dan didn't even think about it, so he took out the money and asked Lin Fanyun to do it. Fortunately, this Lin Fanyun is an honest person, if he were replaced by some people, he would have run away with the money a long time ago. The dwarves don't understand any of this, so don't let the dwarves manage their finances, or you'll be cheated out of money.
Originally, Lin Fanyun thought that this would be enough, but the development of things exceeded anyone's estimates, and the amount of scrap iron exceeded everyone's calculations. It also develops upwards, and piles up scrap iron higher than houses.
"Don't worry, this is only temporary, these scrap iron will be shipped away soon, if it is only placed here, what will I do with it." Besides, you won't be doing things here in the future, and when you get to Blackstone Mountain, I want to pull you away, but you won't go. Ling Feng said.
"Not here, I won't leave at Blackstone Mountain?" Locke was stunned for a moment, and then immediately thought that Ling Feng meant that he would stay in Blackstone Mountain in the future.
"Yes, we're going to be working in Blackstone Mountain, mining, smelting, and building everything. Today is over just to get your tools and these scrap metals. Ling Feng said what Locke was thinking.
"Then what should I do here?" asked Chen Fan, a curious baby.
Ling Feng looked at the surrounding environment and said, "I will demolish and rebuild this place when the time comes." Think of it as a sales department. ”
"Sales Department?" Chen Fan had no concept of this term at all, and asked suspiciously.
"The so-called sales department is a place to receive business and transactions. In the future, uncle, they only need to build weapons in Blackstone Mountain, and the things that come out will be sold by others, and there will be some custom-made weapons here, so that the uncle can concentrate on research and ignore other things. Ling Feng said lightly.
"That's the case!" Chen Fan probably understood what Ling Feng meant, knowing that this place would be the "Store Department" in the future, and the specific nature of the "Store Department" was also known, but he didn't know much about the benefits of this. Nowadays, people generally have to look at who built it, and then they choose. It's like they found this place because Locke was in it, and if it weren't for that, they wouldn't be here.
Chen Fan naturally didn't understand what Ling Feng meant, this continent has no brand awareness, and Ling Feng will put a mark on every weapon produced in the future, that is, a trademark that everyone on the earth knows. I will also open a specialty store and find an agent. Everyone knows about his brand.
"That way, we can concentrate on crafting weapons. That's the best for us, we don't like to deal with people, and we don't want to talk to people if we can't do business with people. Locke nodded, they dwarves were not business materials in the first place, if it weren't for their exquisite skills, it is estimated that they would even have a problem with life, let alone business.
"That's what I want, everyone plays their own expertise, and the things that don't know can be left to the people who know how to do it. In this way, we can give better play and make our weapons reach a higher level. Ling Feng said lightly.
"Let's talk about this later, deal with the matter in front of you first!" Fang Tianya said.
After Fang Tianya's reminder, Locke felt that the most important thing now was to find his son, Tie Dan, and ask what was going on here.
"Iron Egg ......" Locke didn't know how to get into this courtyard, so he shouted directly outside.
"Who is calling me? If you want to sell scrap iron, you can go to Lao Lin, I'm busy now. The sound of iron eggs came from inside the courtyard.
"Wow" Locke's forehead once again appeared black, and he roared: "You don't even remember my voice, it seems that it is itchy." I'm your dad, come out for me. ”
"Ah......h Then it was silent, Ling Feng and they looked ahead, and the iron egg that they hadn't seen for a long time came out, and then suddenly the sound of the iron egg came from behind them.
"Dad, you're back. And Long Tian is also there. ”
"How did you get out of the back?" Locke asked the confusion in everyone's minds, not understanding how the iron egg came out from behind him.
Tie Dan took a breath and replied, "This our door is blocked, and the only way to get out is to take a detour, so we came out from the back." ”
Just now Tie Dan was counting things inside, he heard Locke's scream, and at first he thought it was those who sold scrap iron, so he asked Locke to find Lin Fanyun without thinking about it. Unexpectedly, it was not this time, but his father, who immediately put down the things in his hand and ran out after hearing it, and encountered some scrap metal in the middle and made a noise.
"Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet, how did it get like this, look at this mountain of scrap metal. He also blocked his own door. I told you to do something small and do it like this. Locke rebuked.
"Dad, do you blame me? You don't know how much scrap iron we collected during this time, almost more than two million catties. We don't have space for things, so we can only put them outside, and if we don't have these things that we want, we wouldn't dare to put them outside. And can this be called a trivial matter? If you look at this scene, you will know that it is not a trivial matter. It's a big deal, a very big deal. Then you don't know that our incident has caused a sensation in the entire Imperial City. After Tie Dan retorted, he said triumphantly.
"Don't you think it's beautiful right now?" Locke whispered from behind the Iron Egg.
"No!" Tie Dan hurriedly flashed to the side, waved his hand and said, "Absolutely not!"
"Now tell me what the hell is going on, why is there so much scrap metal?" asked Locke in a deep voice.
"Actually, here's how it happened......" Tie Dan told the people present.
"So that's the case, then Long Tian asked Lin Fanyun and them to help you at that time, so you can have such a situation. So what have you been doing these days?" asked Locke without smiling.
"I'm also helping with this, I'm counting the scrap iron that I bought!" Tie Dan said weakly, in fact, when Lin Fanyun came later, he was a little lazy, because he was too tired a few days ago. In addition, now Lin Fanyun and they are very comprehensive in doing things, and they do things very properly, and there is no place to use him to help.
"This iron egg was very hard a few days ago, and since I have Lao Lin to help in the future. It doesn't hurt to let him take a break, and besides, letting him do this is much worse than Lao Lin and them. Ling Feng helped Tie Dan to relieve the siege, he saw that Tie Dan was working hard, and Tie Dan was not the material for acquisition, just look at the amount he bought and the amount Lao Lin and the number they bought.
"Spare you this time. Locke shook his head, then turned to Ling Feng and said, "Then what are we going to do with all this scrap metal now?
"Don't worry, I'll deal with as much as I want, I'm afraid it's too little. I called the military department to dispose of all their discarded weapons for me. When the time comes, there will be an army to help us transport this scrap iron over, and we will be stationed there. Ling Feng looked at this mountain-like scrap iron, he didn't expect that there would be so much at that time, he thought that having a million catties of scrap iron was already very remarkable, looking at the current amount, no matter how it was said to be three million catties.
But fortunately, Ling Feng's plan is to build millions of weapons and equip the army of the Tianxiang Empire, so that they are invincible in the world, so that he basically doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the Long family and the Tianxiang Empire, and he can play everywhere with peace of mind.
"It's not enough, it's not enough, is it that when you practice, it will get smaller?" Locke asked suspiciously, how many weapons can be built with these more, even if he keeps fighting, it will take decades to finish.
"It's not going to get smaller, but I'm going to build a lot, and that's not enough for me to build. "Ling Feng's words are like a slap to Locke, this is not enough!? God, I got on the wrong thief ship, how did I agree to this person as his subordinate, this person is completely a vampire, and he wants to exhaust me to death.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to call you alone, I'm going to call a lot of people to help. I'll arrange it then. When Ling Feng saw Locke's face, he guessed what he was thinking, so he spoke.
"Tiedan, call Lao Lin over. Ling Feng said to Tie Dan.
"Got it, I'll go right away. After hearing Ling Feng's words, Tie Dan ran away, only to see him bypass the scrap iron mountain and disappear behind.
Soon Lin Fanyun came over behind Tie Dan, and as soon as he came, he saluted Ling Feng and said respectfully, "Second Young Master Long, what's the matter with calling the villain?"
"Lao Lin, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Long Tian. And to do things under me, you don't need to use humble titles!" Ling Feng smiled.
"This villain ......" "Use me." ”
"I ...... I don't dare to call Second Young Master Long's name. Lin Fanyun said respectfully.
"Then call me young master, anyway, it's just a title, there's no need to care. Ling Feng thought that he would just call him whatever he liked anyway, and Ling Feng only regarded it as an extra nickname.
Ling Feng continued, "Now tell me how much you have acquired?"
After listening to Ling Feng's words, Lin Fanyun took out a small notebook, turned to a page, and said: "During this time, we have purchased 3.65 million catties, plus the 530,000 catties that we used to collect from Tiedan, a total of 4.18 million catties. The specific number is 4,189,723 catties. ”
"Four million hundred and eighty thousand??" Locke and the others were taken aback by this number.
