"We tentatively set the unit price of this long knife at 150 silver coins per piece, and bulk purchases can be discounted to 120 silver coins, what do you think?"

"Bang!~"

"You're messing around!!"

The table slammed loudly, and the young dwarves couldn't hold their breath and burst out. If Qin Shouchou's long knife is lighter in weight, and the retail price of 150 silver is acceptable, the reserve price of 120 silver for wholesale purchase is pure vicious competition, they all grew up by the stove since childhood, although they are not very old, their knowledge in the iron industry is no worse than anyone else.

"120 silver? This is to let the dwarf blacksmith drink the rhythm of the northwest wind, not to mention the dwarf, I don't believe that you can make the cost of 120 silver for a baron who suddenly popped out!

Wilwitt's words suddenly detonated the dwarves' tempers, after all, they were forcing the dwarves to a dead end. Dwarven weapons are well-made and of excellent quality, and are well-known throughout the continent, with retail prices of more than 350 silver coins and a general wholesale price of around 300 silver. The batch of 150 silver weapons of the Lawrence Empire, there were some unspeakable transactions in it, and some exchange conditions were used to discount the 150 silver.

The most common dwarven weapon in the world is the broadsword commonly equipped by the armies of various countries, weighing about 21 catties, and each sword is made of 20 catties of steel, and the price fluctuates according to the different materials. If it is dwarf steel, the cost of steel alone has reached 240 silver, plus the processing fee, the retail price will be sold to 350 silver, even if it is purchased in bulk, it is mostly around 320 silver, and the friendship price of 300 silver is to have the opportunity to get it to buyers with large territory and strong strength like the Holy See and the four empires.

The long knife created by Qin Shouzhuo is a parody of the Tang Straight Knife with a thickened blade, because Elsa and Velvet both said that the original blade was too narrow and thin, and it looked insecure, and they would rather buy a knife that was heavier, thicker, and not so sharp, so Qin Shouzhuo made some changes. The total weight of the whole knife is 14.5 kilograms, 12 kilograms of stainless steel is used, the material cost is only 72 silver according to the highest 6 silver, and the materials for making the knife handle, handguards and other parts are calculated according to the relatively good calculation, and the maximum cost of the whole knife material is only 80 silver.

The processing fee of 40 silver is tight for the dwarves, and there is basically no profit, but Qin Shouzhuo has a large forging machine, even if it is only a human craftsman, its labor productivity is also a top dwarven craftsman, and the processing fee in the production stage of the long knife can be controlled below 10 silver, which is unimaginable for the dwarves.

Velvet hurriedly coped with the siege of the dwarves, with a sneer, this competition plan was formulated by himself, and His Excellency the Baron agreed, and the dwarves' reaction had been expected for a long time, but fortunately it was expected. Hall Copperbeard stared at Qin Shouchou's eyes silently, Qin Shouchou claimed that he didn't know how to operate, and the specific business matters were decided by the hateful fat man, but Hall didn't believe that the fat man wouldn't report to Qin Shouchou, without Qin Shouchuang's nod, that fat man dared to sell at such a low price?

"Baron Qin Shouclumsy, stay a line as a man, and see you in the future. Your steel is sold so low, isn't this giving the dwarves a way to live?"

Qin Shouzhuo looked at Hall Copperbeard with an innocent face, looking like he didn't know anything. "What did Master Hall say, my price can guarantee profits, and there is no loss-making operation and vicious competition, which belongs to the scientific and technological dividends after the development of productive forces. I believe that with the advancement of technology, steel will get better and cheaper, which is a big trend, and it is not for you dwarves. ”

Hell, believe you!" Hall Copperbeard's face became even more ugly, and the young dwarves around him also stopped arguing, and their eyes focused on Qin Shouzhuo, "If you can, please allow us to visit your workshop, my old Hall has been working all my life, but I want to see how you made a knife that is less than 120 silver!"

Qin Shou shrugged his shoulders, these dwarves who don't cry when they don't see the coffin, just look at it, we didn't fake it, and then took the dwarves to the processing workshop. From afar, I heard the sound of "oh!~oh!~" from inside, and the trembling of the earth spread far away, shaking everyone's legs a little numb.

Still outside the door of the workshop, the dwarves were already excited, marveling at the steel house dozens of meters high, and the sound coming from inside was so powerful that it made people's blood boil.

...... Although Qin Shouzhuo only felt that it was just noise.

When they entered the gate, the scene inside made these dirt buns who had never seen the world even more stupid. The light steel structure workshop is dozens of meters high, and there are four huge metal machines of varying heights inside, just looking at the metal beams of thickness that one person hugs, this guy is afraid that there are not hundreds of tons! Among the four pieces of equipment, three are idle, and only the second-to-last machine is next to someone working, and the sound of oooo~oooo~, even if it comes from there.

I saw a worker press a few keys on the side of the console, and with the sound of "boom", a two-person tall metal air hammer began to rise slowly, and the huge steel ingot at the top with a strong sense of oppression slowly rose, revealing the workbench below. A worker put a long strip of billet into a mold, then quickly ran away, ran to the console, pressed a few keys to unlock, grabbed the lever and pulled it violently, and the huge steel ingot with the air hammer instantly began to fall freely.

"Wow!~~~"

Hall only felt a gust of wind blowing violently, and the whole person couldn't stand steadily, several "tall" Terran workers quickly ran forward, one of them put the joystick back in place, and then pressed a few keys on the console, and the machine started to "hum and hum", and the air hammer began to rise slowly. The worker waiting in front of the workbench picks out the billet in the mold with pliers, clamps it and drags it aside, while the worker who starts the air hammer picks up the new billet, puts it into the mold, and starts the next cycle.

Qin Shouzhuo took the dwarves to the vicinity of the forging press that was working, and the workers who were working did not look at Qin Shouzhuo and the others, this was the operating specification formulated by Qin Shouzhuo himself. When the forging press is in working condition, the personnel on duty should pay all their attention to the forging press to avoid accidents, even if His Majesty the Pope comes to inspect it.

"This is our production workshop, and this is where this knife was born...... Hey, the one over there, the visiting person is standing outside the yellow line, you can ask me if you have any questions, and you must not disturb the work of the workers. ”

As soon as the dwarves heard the place, they couldn't help but lean forward to see the huge machine like a hill. When Qin Shouzhuo saw this, he immediately stopped, what if he interfered with the work of the workers, what if something happened? Such a large forging press, when it was operated, a careless life would be gone, and it could not be saved.

Old Hall stood close to the yellow line, staring at the huge air hammer falling at high speed with his mouth wide open, "Wow!~~~" The huge tremor made people almost speechless, "This ...... That's what it is...... Can you keep the cost under 120 silver?"

"Uh...... Pretty much. You see, this is the third largest of the four machines, a 5-ton die forging machine, driven by the same way as my previous works, magic to thunder and lightning. There are also three over there, a 20-ton die forging machine and a 15-ton open forging machine, and the smallest one is a 3-ton open forging machine. ”

Seeing that the dwarves were all confused, Qin Shouzhuo patted the back of his head: "It's quite troublesome to explain, in short, they are all amazing machines, and if you produce weapons, they are faster than you." However, the two large ones have only completed the frame construction, there are still many equipment that have not been installed, and the small one has not yet completed the commissioning, and only this 5-ton die forging machine can be used for the time being. ”

"Wow!~~~P!~~~"

Looking at the busy production of the workers, Old Hall suddenly thought of something, and shouted: "Your Excellency, can you let me see those forged products, are they ......?"

Qin Shouzhuo walked over, took out a half-finished long knife from the pile, and handed it to Hall Copperbeard. It is indeed the steel long knife that Qin Shouzhuo showed before, but it is still a semi-finished product, and the knife handle, handguard or anything has not yet been installed, and it also has to be quenched and relieved and tempered and tempered.

What Hall didn't understand, what he could see was that in the short time he was observing with a group of young dwarves, the five workers of the operator's die forging machine produced at least 50 long knives and semi-finished products. Old Hall felt a chill in his heart, such a high efficiency was really terrible, and it was really not difficult to compress the processing cost to 20 silver coins.

Qin Shouzhuo pointed to the workers in production: "There are 20 of them in total, and my machine can work 24 hours a day in three shifts, and it can process more than 1,200 billets a day. Just a few days after you fell ill, I signed a contract for 2,000 long knives, in fact, this is the last batch, and I will be ready to ship in three days at most. This side please. ”

Qin Shouzhuo led the dwarves to a much smaller factory next to it, where a large group of workers were loading gauntlets on the body of the knife and wrapping the handle of the knife with fine linen. Although the semi-finished blade here looks exactly the same as the knife just forged before, the performance gap is actually quite large, the knife here is sent from the heat treatment workshop, after quenching and stress relief, tempering and quenching and tempering and carburizing on the surface of the blade, the hardness, toughness and strength are not the same.

Further down, a group of workers are applying a thick layer of protective oil to the blade, which is then sealed and boxed. Behind the workers, a large crate was neatly stacked, proving that what Qin Shouzhuo said before that the production was nearing the end was not a lie, if there were real knives inside......

A worker with a clipboard and a pen, seeing such a large group of onlookers, took the initiative to come over, and found that it was the boss who brought it, and hurried over to say hello: "Greetings to you, Your Excellency Baron!"

"Hmm," Qin Shouchou nodded in return, "How's the production going?"

"Report, has been inspected, a total of 1,440 long knives are sealed in storage, 60 are being tested, and it is expected that all will be inspected and sealed tomorrow night, and sealed and stored in the warehouse to ensure that it will not affect the shipment the day after tomorrow!"

"Well, that's good, you go get busy. ”

The worker saluted and left, leaving behind a dwarf with a bewildered face, looking at Qin Shouclum, who was extremely calm.
