Chapter 55: Quality Gaps
"I've investigated, and there are also five magic machine tools in the factory that produces magic fans in the Leo Chamber of Commerce......," Seeing that Xu Yi was still pondering, President Fasak suddenly added meaningfully.
Xu Yi glanced at him and said calmly, "President Fasak, if you have something to say, please speak directly." ”
President Fasak's round face no longer had the kind smile just now, and a pair of small eyes stared at Xu Yi, shooting out two essences.
"President Xu, although the contract I signed with your chamber of commerce is not clearly stated, but your chamber of commerce sells magic machine tools to other chambers of commerce in Saltan City, should you notify me in advance?"
Xu Yi frowned slightly, thinking to himself that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was originally selling magic machine tools, who do we need to agree to sell to?
Of course, Xu Yi is also very clear that this is a very normal business behavior on the earth, but on the Sainz continent, it cannot be simply generalized.
After thinking about it for a moment, Xu Yi pressed his hand down on President Fasak, signaling him to be calm, and then reached out and touched the lower part of the base of the magic fan.
After a moment, Xu Yi showed a knowing smile on his face that he had expected a long time ago.
"President Fasak, first of all, I have to solemnly remind you that the magic machine tool is a magic machine developed completely independently by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as long as others can afford the price, we have a reason to sell it to anyone......" Seeing that the face of the Sach Society immediately sank, Xu Yi continued with a smile: " Of course, since we are now in a cooperative relationship, then as a partner, of course, I have to think about the interests of your Fasak Chamber of Commerce, so we generally do not sell the magic machines needed to produce magic fans to other chambers of commerce in Salta City. ”
"So what's going on with this magic fan?" President Fasak frowned and pointed to the magic fan in Xu Yi's hand. "If you rely on manual forging alone, the production cycle of each magic fan will become extremely long, and the cost will be extremely high. However, the selling price of the magic fan of the Leo Chamber of Commerce is actually ten silver coins lower than that of our magic fan of the Fasak Chamber of Commerce, if it is not forged in large quantities with the magic machine machine, then I am sure that the Leo Chamber of Commerce will definitely lose money. Of course, I don't believe the Leo Chamber of Commerce guys can be so stupid. ”
"President Fasak, I think you're overlooking one thing. Xu Yi said with a smile. "If the magic fan can be imitated, so can the magic machine tool. ”
"Imitation of a magic machine?" said President Fasak's small eyes widened suddenly. "This is impossible! Those five magic machines are so sophisticated and complex, how can they be imitated at will?"
Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders: "Although I don't want to admit it, if I guess correctly, this is the truth." The five magic machines owned by the Leo Chamber of Commerce that you mentioned should be imitated by them. ”
"But...... But is the magic machine so easy to imitate?" President Fasak stared at Xu Yi, as if he didn't believe it.
"It's not easy, of course, but it's not impossible. ”
Xu Yi casually took a tool in his hand, and disassembled the magic fan in his hand into parts after dividing it by two.
As he expected, this magic fan is not only almost identical in appearance to the new Feipai magic fan, but even the internal structure, and even every part is almost identical.
In other words, this magic fan is completely a knockoff of the new Fei brand magic fan.
"Do you see what's wrong?" Seeing Xu Yi's movements, President Fasak couldn't help but ask.
Xu Yi casually picked up a central shaft part supporting a fan blade on the ground and looked at it twice, and smiled: "I have seen a lot of problems." President Fasak, it shouldn't be more than half a month since the Leo Chamber of Commerce started selling this kind of magic fan, right?"
President Fasak was stunned, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Yes, it hasn't been more than half a month." How do you know?"
Xu Yi pointed to the parts on the ground: "They are the ones who sued me." ”
"They?" said President Fasak's gaze on the scattered parts, unclear.
Xu Yi tilted his head to look at President Fasak: "You should have brought the magic fan produced by your Chamber of Commerce this time, right?"
"Yes. President Fasak went to the huge package again, pulled out a magic fan, and brought it over.
Xu Yi took it in his hand and weighed it, and suddenly frowned: "President Fasak, when your Chamber of Commerce was producing this magic fan, did you strictly follow the standards I gave you at the beginning?"
President Fasak was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Of course there is! President Xu, this thing was developed by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, how could I not do it according to the standards you set?"
"I can't see it, can I?" Xu Yi snorted lightly, looked left and right, and took a new flying brand magic fan that was rotating in the corner of the workshop, and then put it together with the magic fan that President Fasak had brought over, and then filled the two magic fans with magic crystals of the same size and quality, and pressed the switch at the same time.
Two pale cyan rays of light flashed, and the blades of the two magic fans began to spin, emitting a slight humming sound.
Xu Yi pulled President Fasak to blow a cool breeze in front of the two-day magic fan for a while, then suddenly turned his head and asked, "Do you see it?"
The look on President Fasak's round face had become difficult to look at at this point.
Although these two magic fans look almost identical in appearance, when they are now in operation, there is a clear difference.
The first is the start-up speed.
After pressing the switch, it only took a blink of an eye for the blades of the Xinfei brand magic fan to rotate, and a cool breeze was already blowing out between breaths.
However, it took nearly five seconds for the magic fan produced by the Fassac Chamber of Commerce to start spinning, and it took a while to feel the cool breeze.
The second is stability.
The fan blade speed of the Xinfei brand magic fan is quite steady, and there are almost no fluctuations visible to the naked eye.
However, the magic fan of the Fassac Chamber of Commerce would pause from time to time, as if something was hindering the rotation of the fan blades.
In addition to these two points, the new Feipai magic fan in the whole process, only because the fan blades fan the air to make a faint humming sound, and the magic fan of the Fasak Chamber of Commerce not only makes a lot louder sound from the fan blades, but also the entire magic fan will also sound from time to time There will be a crisp clicking sound, and even when the fan blades rotate for a while, the sound of the place gradually increases, accompanied by the constant shaking of the magic fan, making people wonder if it will fall apart at any time.
"President Fasak, if you were a guest, which of these two magic fans would you choose to buy?" Xu Yi asked again.
President Fasak's face sank like water, the fat on his face jumped a few times, and he squeezed out a bitter smile and replied, "Of course, choose your new flying brand magic fan." Without waiting for Xu Yi to answer, he asked again: "But President Xu, why is this? I attach great importance to this magic fan, the whole production process is completely in strict accordance with the process and standard you gave me, and even the five magic machine tools that produce parts are also purchased from you, but why is there such a big gap in the end?"
"Quite simply, the gap arises in two points, one is raw materials, and the other is manpower. Xu Yi stretched out two fingers and shook them, and suddenly asked, "President Fasak, I'm afraid you didn't pay attention to the skilled worker I sent to you, right?"
"How could I not pay attention to those five people, but you sent them to teach the process of making zuò?" President Fasak immediately said in a loud voice, "Since they left, I have been serving them with good food and drink every day, and I have not treated them as slaves at all." ”
Xu Yi shook his head slightly: "Can you make sure that those people under your command don't treat them as slaves?"
"This ......," President Fasak immediately froze, and said with some uncertainty, "I have solemnly announced to them, probably not...... Ahem, President Xu, let's talk about raw materials. I don't really understand, isn't the raw material for making zuò magic fans iron, what difference can there be?"
Xu Yi sighed, wanting to explain to this guy that the types of pig iron on the earth alone can be divided into more than a dozen, I wonder if he will be so surprised that he will drop a few pieces of fat on his face?
Of course, on this continent of Sainz, where the industrial base is extremely weak, even if Xu Yi says these things, I am afraid that no one will understand.
In desperation, he could only slowly explain to him in words that President Fasak could understand.
"The same iron, but also different......"
