When the car was parked, there were already many young people watching. Mainly because the sound of the car's engine and exhaust is so obvious on such a quiet night, of course, it will arouse everyone's curiosity.

Turned off the engine and got out of the car. But the three passengers in the car, as if they didn't realize it, still clung to the part of the car that they could grasp, until Nguyen Van Viet's brother ran close to care. One sentence: "Big brother, it's okay." Only then did the three people who returned to their souls remember to get out of the car.

Because he didn't plan to turn tonight into a driving class, Lin politely declined everyone's requests to test the car or go out for a ride. Instead, he commanded the waiters to bring a few people who had blown the cold wind into the house to roast the fire and drink some warm tea.

Fortunately, the three of them are in good health, and after blowing this wind, there should be nothing wrong with it. The two magicians in the combat unit had nothing to say, and even Ruan Van Viet, who was a businessman, was also a strong warrior in Lin's observation. I don't dare to ask him to fight on the front line, but it shouldn't be a problem to protect himself in the face of emergencies, let alone just blowing the wind.

As for himself, Lin was not worried at all. Knowing what kind of situation you will face, how can you not prepare in advance. An apprentice-level magic of the Wind Enchantment can simply straighten out the changes in the airflow around you, so that the cold wind will automatically avoid you. This is originally to control the airflow around you, and attack arrow-like flying props to biased magic, just a cold wind, what a good way.

Returning to the small salon where he had talked before, the old deacon, who had been following Ruan Van Viet, invited the young people who had come in with him out. And the three old people who had eaten a stomach of cold wind, after a few cups of hot tea, exhaled heavily, and their eyes gradually recovered their demeanor. It was only then that they seemed to come back to their senses, and their mouths were filled with a series of questions.

Lin answered every question in great detail, and even presented some data from the carriage to support it. In addition to the detailed design structure and parameters not given, other questions whether normal or not, such as whether it can go to the sky and the sea, whether it can jump, whether it can be installed on the house, and whether the whole house can be pulled and run, Lin Du answered them one by one.

But Nguyen Van Viet was a businessman, and after a series of technical and cranky questions, he immediately turned back to the point. Q: "Lord Tripwood, how much does it cost to build such a car, can you tell us?" ”

"If you don't count the cost of wages and design, if you look at the cost of materials, I don't think I'll be able to break through Xbar Kir (10,000 gold)."

Someone's unabashed answer immediately dimmed everyone's blazing eyes. 10,000 gold is definitely not an ordinary person can afford it, even if it is a big businessman or a big nobleman, he may not pay for it.

After all, the luxury car culture has not yet emerged, and no one will blindly pursue more luxurious, faster and rarer cars. Not to mention that after the car is bought, there are all kinds of fuel, consumables and maintenance.

Of course, with some means to wrap it up, you can still fool a fool and throw a lot of money, but there is no point in doing so. The positioning of this thing should not be a boutique route, but to be popular, and it is best to be able to rot the street, completely change the lives of people who are lost, and go deep into it.

So in the face of everyone's disappointment, Lin smiled and said, "Don't say that you think it's expensive, even I think this price is very expensive." However, this is only to verify that the construction is feasible prototype car, not a vehicle that will eventually become a commodity. ”

"Oh, what's the difference?" Nguyen Van Viet asked.

"This prototype car is all made of magic metal, so that it can be easily changed to the structure of the part using magic shaping, and if it is confirmed that a part is not constructed correctly or is not needed, it can be quickly reverted to a metal ingot, reused, and so on. The two major features of magic metal are that it can add magic effects, and the strength of the metal is much higher than that of ordinary metal. However, in the structure of this car, there are almost no places that need to be added to the magic effect, and the problem of metal strength can also be solved by smelting technology. In other words, more than 99% of the structure can be replaced with ordinary metal, or even wood or other lighter ordinary materials. I expect that the average car that will eventually become a commodity should be able to keep the cost of materials down to XXX Kiel (30 gold). The price is set at Ckiel (100 gold), and I think that the number of people who can accept this price will increase a lot. ”

This number is not anyone's nonsense. The birth of this prototype car, of course, made Lin see a lot of shortcomings, and it was the kind that could not be replaced by the use of magic materials. And the most important of these shortcomings is the tires.

The test just now made Lin understand that the grip of the existing tires is far from enough. In this case, in addition to finding a way to improve the tire formula, the easiest way is to reduce the speed limit, that is, to change to an engine with less horsepower, so as to avoid the vehicle in some extreme environments due to excessive speed and loss of control, resulting in accidents.

Low horsepower means that there can be practices that do not require the strength of the material, which means that the engine material may not be made without magic metal. Coupled with the sealing of the rubber, the engine efficiency has also been improved. Once you go back and forth, the cost is reduced.

Lin even plans to introduce materials science to Miyandi, replacing magical metals with alloys. After all, if the vehicle is a pure fuel engine, it has nothing to do with magic. It would be a waste to insist on using magic metal and only taking its material strength.

Even if it is a mixed-powered engine, there are only a few places where the magic array needs to be carved, and most of the body is still made of ordinary metal. Not to mention the general type of car, there is no need for a steel plate with a thickness of several centimeters at all. For some unimportant places, just have a thin layer of iron wrap on it. Even cheaper materials can be considered. So it is possible to press the price of thirty gold.

In addition to the brilliance of several people's eyes, there was also a little more indescribable and inexplicable taste. The self-cooked Fa Sheng hooked up with someone's shoulder again and said, "Boy, you can do it, XXX Kiel's thing, you plan to sell C Kiel." Is it something else, you are also selling this way? ”

It occurred to Fasage Babak Abunahan that all the other goods related to this man were sold at such a price. Suddenly he was in a bad mood, and he planned to pick a little back from the other party's money bag.

Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency, what I have calculated is only the cost of materials, not including the design cost and the remuneration of the manufacturer. You can't ask these people to do day labor, what is the price of iron ore, just ask the processed products to be the same price. ”

But what Ruan Wenyue thought about was something else. He asked, "Your Excellency, since this industry is profitable, why didn't you choose to cooperate with the Great Magician Kabanbai?" Instead, they are willing to take it out and cooperate with me. ”

This is a question that not only he wants to know, but also the two magicians next to him. Although there is no sentence in the mystery of 'the building near the water gets the moon first', this truth still makes sense.

The answer to this question is not difficult to imagine. Lin said directly: "Because the direction is different." If today I were going to build this car to go faster, to push heavier cars, to make it bigger, or to make it smaller, or to add some special features, then of course I would work with the head of the Kabanbay Academy. But today's idea is to build this car at a cheaper cost, according to the needs of the customer, that is, the user, as much as possible, not to use magic, but to find a way that ordinary craftsmen can also use to build this car, then I think a businessman who understands the needs of customers will be a better partner than a great magician. ”

This truth is so simple that a few people present can understand it as soon as they hear it. After experiencing the speed of the car, they will certainly have some ideas. However, these thoughts, as the magician in front of him said, were what the Dharma Sage Babak Abunahan and the great magician Attila thought about, how to make the car faster; As a businessman, Nguyen Van Viet is thinking about how to obtain it at a cheaper cost.

That's not to say that businessmen spend all day thinking about how to cut corners. It is the nature of businessmen to make more of the same commodity at a cheaper cost. The difference is in who the benefits go to after the cost falls.

If a merchant is ignorant and the things he sells are shoddy, such an act is certainly not advisable. But if the cost goes down, the price goes down too, and you can clearly tell others the difference between before and after. Emphasis is placed on what you pay for, so that buyers can choose the grade of goods according to their own situation. How can it be said that the businessman has done something wrong?

To put it simply, the high-end market should be occupied, and the low-end market should also be occupied. A true businessman is of course the more the merrier. And this kind of pursuit is exactly what a master of the level of the great magician Kabanbai will not care about.

After listening to the magician's thoughts, Ruan Wenyue also understood his role positioning. Faced with this seemingly win-win opportunity, he already had an idea in his mind. There is just one more question that needs to be asked. "If we cooperate, what do you want my family to do?" After all, it's a business that has never been done before. So how to cooperate, to be honest, he is still a little at a loss.

"Hehe, the success of the trial car, several people have already experienced it. This also confirms that such a structure as a vehicle is feasible. Then the next step is to keep experimenting and exploring. To use common metals to make a car, in addition to the formula of the alloy material, it is the manufacturing process. How to make gears, how to make steel plates with curved arcs, and how to make parts that cannot be directly shaped by magic, are the key points that need Mr. Ruan's cooperation. ”

Speaking of this, Lin still maintained his original bitter face, and said: "That is to say, don't look at my XXX Kiel cost of the vehicle, if you want to sell it to C Kiel, there is no calculation of the time and wages that will be spent on research and development." If the final product doesn't sell enough, it's not impossible to lose money. ”
