"Master Orlando, we don't have enough gum, and if there is no follow-up supply of gum, our bicycle production will be without gum tires. In addition, Jiayi designed two kinds of fountain pens, one uses an adhesive hose to absorb ink by squeezing, and the other uses a piston type pen to suction and apply ink, but both require eucommia gum. Eunice said to Orlando.

Originally, there were not many eucommia trees, and they were basically wild. Now because of the hot sale of bicycles, many mages have been inspired, and suddenly Eucommia ulmoides gum is on fire, and at present, the market is in short supply. Eunice: They didn't realize the origin of eucommia gum at first, because at that time, it was basically used to make bicycle tires. After the rest of the people realized that the other uses of this gum had led to a shortage of gum, they could no longer find it to collect Eucommia gum, and now, basically every forest of Eucommia ulmoides was in the hands of the nobility.

Even if it is planted now, by the time it is ready to tap, almost several years have passed, and it is too late. Eunice had no choice but to come to Orlando.

Orlando thought for a moment and said, "Let's control the production of bicycles for the time being, and the places where eucommia is in short supply right now are near a few big cities, so look for it further away." Jiayi must have Du Zhonglin there, otherwise how could he make tires. ”

"Mage, it would be very costly. ”

At this time, it is not like the 21st century, even if it is imported from other countries, it is not necessarily much more expensive, the traffic at this time is very touching, it can only be transported by horse-drawn carriage or something, and the purchased gum is not as expensive as the transportation cost.

Orlando said helplessly: "We just held this big new product launch conference, do we want to tell people that our product has no raw materials and can't be made? I went back to find a few mages who are proficient in botany to see if we can quickly grow a batch of eucommia trees." However, even if it is born quickly, it is not possible to take the glue in a short time. You can think of a way, first push the pendulum clock, this does not need Eucommia gum, and find a way to reduce the amount of Eucommia gum.

"Our absorbent fountain pen doesn't use the squeezing ink gall, it uses a piston type, and the gall body is made of metal or glass, so that only the piston part needs a little gum, and the amount is much less. We have already said that we want to introduce an improved version of the fountain pen, and we must not lose our promise. ”

Orlando is also a pit by Jiayi, if there is no grand press conference, it is nothing to reduce production or stop the production of one or two products, and there is no bicycles without gum. But after this grand press conference, he went from the backstage to the front desk, and everyone knew that he had a stake in this chamber of commerce, and if there was a problem just after the press conference, he couldn't afford to lose this face.

But this is also something that Jiayi didn't foresee, because of the existence of magic, the economic laws here are not consistent with those on the earth, and besides, he wasn't a business elite either, at best, he was a coder and an otaku. To put it nicely, you can call it an engineer.

It's been a while since the new product launch, and the conference has worked very well, not only to promote the new pendulum clock, but also to bring a wave of sales of original pens and bicycles, and the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce has also improved a lot. Although there is still a gap between it and a super-large chamber of commerce with an official background in the empire such as the Memphel Bo Chamber of Commerce, the B grid has been established, and now it is a large chamber of commerce, but the sales channel is still relatively weak.

After all, the original Valoka Chamber of Commerce was mainly engaged in luxury goods, and although the most expensive jewelry was only a few hundred gold, it would not establish too many fixed stores as sales points. Now, without this, although their products are easy to sell, their sales have not been able to increase significantly.

Last time, in order to cooperate with the new product launch conference, Orlando specially greeted the magazine for Jiayi's paper, postponed the publication of one issue, and waited until the press conference was over, and the next day's magazine was published. At this time, some interested people also began to follow the paper to study how to make a pendulum clock.

Jiayi's friction and pendulum papers have made many people begin to know him, and the names of these two papers show that Jiayi's research in the field of mechanics is very sufficient.

It is said that even Lord Isaac mentioned him.

However, it is a pity that Jiayi is not ready to continue in the field of mechanics, at least based on the category of classical mechanics.

He is still preparing for the dual cultivation of water and fire, but unfortunately he is not even a formal magician now, let alone the dual cultivation of water and fire, and the most important thing now is to advance.

In order to better stimulate his potential, Jia Yi rode Daqing, preparing to go to the depths of the mountains for a period of time to see if he could gain anything.

At the first stop, he prepared to go to the highest peak in the neighborhood to watch the sunrise.

In martial arts novels, the sunrise always has a magical power, and even the film and television works of the previous life have such a meaning, I hope this is also useful for magic.

Speaking of Daqing, Jiayi is actually a little envious, jealous and hateful. There are three sisters in Daqing's harem, and the first one to be put on is pregnant, and the remaining two are estimated to be short. This has to be said to be a very fatal blow to a two-life virgin.

Theoretically speaking, cows have estrus, but for some reason, no matter whether the cows they buy back have reached estrus or not, they will start to estrus when they arrive at Daqing.

Originally, Jiayi also considered whether to buy a few more cows to come back and let Daqing be pampered, so he couldn't afford to buy cows, buy one pregnant one, buy one pregnant one.

But then Imu said no, he checked the information, and only then did he understand that rare species with the blood of wild beasts such as Daqing, because of the lack of the same kind, the bloodline has its own need for reproduction, so it will unscrupulously exude "hormones" to the females around them to stimulate them to estrus.

Until it gives birth to an offspring, it will continue to work until all the females around it are pregnant or have children. In other words, it would be good to wait for the other two cows to become pregnant as well.

I don't know if it's been held back for a long time, Daqing chased the soul when he went to the first cow, but the latter was much slower.

However, no matter what, Daqing's small life is much better than Jia Yi's own life, in the Niu clan, how can it be regarded as tall and handsome, rich is actually enough, after all, he used to sleep on the magic stone, but now it is all his own. Only when he thinks of this will Jia Yi feel a little better.

When it was going to take Daqing out, it was still reluctant, feeling a little reluctant to give up its heifer, and in the end it was Im who forced it to agree. Jiayi also specially made a delicious meal to treat it, so that it would not be able to work outside. By the way, Daqing is omnivorous and eats not only grass but also meat.

Jia Yi rode on Daqing, carrying an expansion package sent by Imu, and he also sewed the package into the backpack, which was more convenient to carry. He filled the package with supplies, not only weapons such as crossbows, but also medicinal herbs, food, clean drinking water, and distilled spirits.

This time he went out alone, and he must be fully prepared and not be too superstitious about himself. However, the food and water he brought were more for the sake of precaution, not counting on this little thing to sustain him in the forest.
