Chapter 101: Bicycle Factory, Mysterious Friend [Seeking Chase II.] [Must See for Readers Without Reducing Intelligence]

[Contains clue extension content, a must-see for readers who do not reduce intelligence]

……

8:49 a.m. Blue Star time on May 25.

Chen Xuan appeared in the rental house.

He first took off his bulletproof vest and clothing.

Walked into the bathroom naked.

Standing in front of the mirror of the washbasin, he mobilized his magic essence and operated the [Second-Order Stealth Technique].

I saw that his figure in the mirror quickly became faint, until it became almost transparent.

Moving his arm and trying to walk a few steps, he found that the stealth effect was not as seamless as he had imagined.

Probably similar to the ghost mode in a certain FPS online game.

If there is no strong direct light, as long as you remain still, it will be difficult to detect a cursory sweep by the naked eye.

However, if you are in the scorching sun or in some areas with special light and shadow environments, you can faintly see the outline of the figure.

In addition, the stealth effect is further reduced when walking.

If the magic element is agitated, the outline will be more obvious.

Subsequently, Chen Xuan did a lot of tests, he put on clothes and shoes, and found that the stealth effect was not affected.

Just after covering the extra clothing, the magic cost will increase slightly.

It's uncertain if you can sneak around with a person, after all, dead things are not the same as living things.

After exiting the stealth state, Chen Xuan felt slightly tired.

It's not that the cost of magic skills is too great, it's that he has used the [Plug-in] ability many times in Naroa before.

He took a shower and took a shower to relax him completely.

After washing, he took the bike out of the storage compartment in the room.

There were 10 bikes in the first batch on Naroa's side.

Ophelia, Rebecca, and him each kept one, and the Blacksmiths' Guild bought four, one of which was bought when the first ones were sold.

There were also scattered adventurers who bought two, and the last one was bought by Ansetus.

Compared with the mules, horses and cattle in the city, it is estimated that it is not even a fraction of a single day, and Chen Xuan's original plan was to slowly popularize and promote, but the order from the Blacksmith Association opened up new ideas for him.

Naroa has a blacksmith's workshop, alchemy, mechanical engineering.

All kinds of runes and magical creations are certainly magical.

However, these technologies are not yet mass-produced, and the cost of all aspects is not low.

Of course, Naroa also has cheap hand vehicles like carts.

But in terms of performance, it can't compare to the bike.

So the positioning of the bicycle is very simple, that is, under the rune creation, above the conventional tools.

As one of the most moderate means of transportation in Blue Star.

As long as there is a path that a mule and a horse can walk, then a bicycle can walk, even if it really can't be walked.

Any black iron-level demon cultivator can carry the two-eight bars and run.

The horizontal bar design is the biggest feature of the 28 bar.

It increases the strength and stability of the bicycle body, which naturally greatly enhances the load-bearing capacity of the bicycle.

At the same time, the crossbar is equivalent to an additional "hanging point", which can allow the bicycle to load more goods or people.

Twenty or thirty years ago, there was an instance of a two-eight-bar load of nearly one ton passing seven kilometers.

In addition, the stable design of the horizontal bar also greatly reduces the probability of vehicle damage.

The most typical example of widespread use is the postal "28 bars" used by postmen at that time.

Basically, it's one per person.

Of course, that bar is also a nightmare for countless children.

When it comes to other world records for cycling, there are even more.

It's just that times have changed, and many young people's impressions of transportation have also changed.

But the bike is just "old", not "dead".

It can carry the last century of the Blue Star, and it can carry the current universal tool needs of Naroa.

The Blacksmiths' Guild was a breakthrough.

On top of that, many of Bluestar's industrial creations still have great potential for use in Naroa.

How to choose products is the key, and don't mention that kind of bells and whistles.

The main direction of attack has to be all kinds of practical tools.

Chen Xuan wanted to find common ground in mass production industrialization and magic energy technology.

That's why he was ready to communicate with the blacksmith who was said to be frantically searching for clues to firearms.

If you just want to make a quick buck, Devil's Tears and Aluminum Bars will suffice.

But he didn't want to stop there, business expansion was only the first step, and gradually having a huge influence throughout Naroa was his desire.

Theoretically, the entire Blue Star could become his factory.

The first thing he has to do now is to get the order for those 300 bikes.

No longer stupid to go to the online store to buy, he through the nameplate on the manufacturer information.

Directly searched the manufacturer's official website, and soon found the contact information of the external sales department.

This factory is called [Zhejiang Hangcheng Shanxiao Qianjiang Bicycle Factory].

Chen Xuan checked through a certain check and took a look at the information of this company.

It was found that in recent years, there have been 53 violations, as well as debt warnings and lawsuits.

The factory was established in 2001.

The main projects are: bicycle, stroller assembly, bicycle accessories, stroller accessories manufacturing, processing*.

It is still in existence, but its major shareholder, Yang Renyong, has a record of being restricted to high risk.

After further inquiry, Chen Xuan found that the factory had operational problems and was on the verge of bankruptcy.

In fact, what Chen Xuan bought was not a real "permanent card".

It's just brand licensing.

However, those two-eight-bar bikes are still relatively solid in terms of workmanship and quality.

He doesn't care about the other party's business situation, after all, all these years, the country's bicycle factories have had a hard time.

Either transform into a battery car, or specialize in road, track and station wagon.

Very few factories continue to maintain the production line of everyday cars such as the 28-bar.

"Why don't you just buy it?"

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, he found a few pieces of information about Yang Renyong, the actual controller of the factory, on the webpage of the same city forum...

That guy might be able to get his hands on it.

And if you plan for a long time, buying a factory is definitely more cost-effective than ordering to continue your life.

Moreover, the other party is a factory integrating production and marketing, with R&D foundation and technical reserves.

In the future, as long as the two circles have a thorough grasp of it, they can conduct joint research.

It's not as empty as the kind of downstream assembly and OEM, there is still something.

When Nai creates heroes, and whether business can succeed is closely related to the general environment in many cases.

Thinking of this, he shook his wrist lightly and took out a black iron-grade [Contracting Bead].

The bicycle factory is only the first step, if the attempt is successful, Chen Xuan's industrial logistics territory will be stable in the future.

As long as the bicycle is marketable in Naroa, then it means profit.

It's not just about the krona's income, it's about the impact and business layout.

Without much hesitation, Chen Xuan immediately took out the old machine under the name of the great god "Zhang Hetao" and dialed the phone number of the factory.

"Doot toot..."

It took half a minute for the call to be connected.

"Hey, hello, this is Shanxiao Qianjiang Bicycle Factory."

"Where are you a dealer?"

A calm female voice came from the loudspeaker of the elderly machine.

"Hello, I would like to order 300 bicycles in the 28-bar style."

"The nameplate lot number is QJ7027."

Chen Xuan said straight to the point, there is no need to hide your head and tail in procurement.

Just such a factory that is about to go bankrupt, there are thousands of national distributors and distributors.

The key is that bicycles are not licensed commodities, but just a small wave in the great river of capital circulation.

Sure enough, when the other party heard his words, he immediately became more enthusiastic.

"Yes, yes!"

"I see here that your number belongs to Guizhou Province, are your stores and warehouses also there?"

The guy who buys 300 cars at a time is either a big car dealer or a small local wholesaler.

The factory will first inquire about the location to determine the local distribution.

"I'm not a dealer, and the bikes are purchased for my own use."

"Do you have any stock in your factory now?"

His words made the enthusiasm on the other side suddenly drop a little.

If you develop a large wholesaler, it is normal to generate millions of extra sales per year.

If you are scattered, the attraction will not be so great.

However, this is still a purchase of more than 100,000 yuan, and it is also a mouthful of meat.

Now the situation of the factory is a bit complicated, and no single business can be missed.

"I see, you wait a minute."

After the other party replied, there was a sound of tapping on the keyboard.

"The factory direct sales price here can give you 578 yuan per vehicle, but it does not include logistics fees."

"The invoice will be given to you by the next quarter's filing period."

Chen Xuan didn't squeak, 578 yuan was about 15% cheaper than his free shipping price of 680 yuan in the online store.

In fact, he knows that the wholesale price of the real industry will be about 15% to 30% lower than the market price.

As for the real ex-factory price, it is even lower.

The factory will give different prices according to different sizes of customers.

"Okay, I'll go over for myself."

"The address of your factory is in xxxx, Chengxiang Street, Shanxiao District, right?"

"Yes, you tell the doorman that someone will lead you in when you come to the sales department to discuss business."

The other party replied concisely, perhaps because he felt that Chen Xuan was talking hi.

"I'll come to your office in the afternoon to talk in person, and maybe order more."

"Okay, waiting for your arrival."

……

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xuan immediately booked a high-speed rail ticket to Hangzhou in an hour.

The journey is only 52 minutes, but there is still a distance of more than 20 kilometers from Hangcheng East Station to Chengxiang Street.

Fortunately, the APP shows that the piece is not too congested, and it can be reached in more than half an hour if you take a taxi.

It was 9:27 a.m. at this time, and Chen Xuan estimated that it would be better to pass by two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

The journey certainly didn't take so long, but he had to make some preparations before entering the factory.

After changing into a refreshing outfit and bringing his ID card, Chen Xuan set off directly.

Don't bother to cover up your face, after all, if you act in the country, you can leave too many traces.

There's no need to cover your ears and steal the bell, as long as you don't touch the field of regulatory rules and behave naturally.

This time, he will try to make a contract with the Blue Star, and if the temptation fails, then he will start the alternative plan and honestly take the goods and leave.

By the way, I took out another 49,900 cash and found a paper bag to put it in.

Chen Xuan walked out of the house at this time.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lin Qiang, who lived upstairs, walking down the stairs in casual clothes.

Compared to the rush of weekdays, this guy is very calm on weekends.

"What a coincidence, you're also going out!"

"Why haven't you been seen catching the subway in the morning?"

"Is it a change of guard?"

Lin Qiang wore a black over-the-knee dress with lace today.

The neck and shoulders reveal large areas of white skin, and a four-leaf clover necklace.

She wore light makeup, her eyebrows and eyes were full of spring, and she looked carefully dressed.

Chen Xuan glanced at her and gave a friendly and perfunctory smile.

"I was made redundant."

"I'm preparing to start my own business."

He said casually, there was no need to lie to Lin Qiang about his job.

"Oh... It's good to start a business! ”

"Then I wish you success!"

"If you're developed, don't forget to give me a good job."

"This chain family, it's getting more and more unbearable."

The two sides just nodded their heads, and there was no contradiction, so Lin Qiang did not mock his unemployment.

Although Lin Qiangba looked at Tianhai City, he flew on the branches and became a phoenix.

But she knew very well in her heart that Chen Xuan, like her, was a little ant struggling in the city.

After a few idle words, she bowed her head lightly and walked past Chen Xuan's side.

Inadvertently caught a glimpse of the cash in the paper bag in his hand, but it was not unexpected.

"It should be a small cost to start a business."

"It's a pity, I'm so handsome and down-to-earth, it's hard to be cliché after all."

She thought to herself, and she didn't think so.

I thought that Chen Xuan's business was a street stall.

Tens of thousands of dollars in the magic capital are really just a small splash.

The two walked out of the community one after the other, and soon Lin Qiang got into an Audi A7 waiting on the side of the road.

It was an imported old model, but the butt was really handsome.

The car drove out along the street, and Chen Xuan saw Lin Qiang, the co-pilot, smiling happily.

Compared with before, Lin Qiang is a "normal" young man in this city.

And he already felt out of place.

Shrugging his shoulders, Chen Xuan stopped a taxi and rushed towards the high-speed rail station.

……

Magdam City.

The sixth hour of the water on the dawn of the day.

The bustling library has a lot of people borrowing books.

In a secret room deep in the building, Yusula was sitting in a chair, tilting her head to listen to the report of a strange guy in front of her.

This guy's body is humanoid, but his face is covered with scales, and his eyes are yellow vertical eyes that belong to cold-blooded animals, and his tongue is in a state of forked.

There is no nasal peak, only nostrils, and when it is quiet, it often spits out letters, and it is a relatively rare snake people in the local area.

"That's the way it is."

"The groom of the village lodge of Potan said that your stepdaughter arrived at the lodge with a cat-eared maiden and a human male."

"Soon after, there was a fierce battle there."

"But no one can see how Master Harward died."

Yusula was silent for a while, then reached out and rubbed her eyebrows.

"I know that Ophelia slut has a lot of weird friends."

"But that's not the point, I want to know who those people are!"

There was always a squeak of anger in her words.

I saw the snake man spit out the letter lightly and took out a stick figure from behind him.

A peculiar vehicle is depicted on it.

Two thick bars hold two large tires fixed on the same plane.

"What is this?"

"The other party's means of transportation."

"The groom was so impressed with this thing, it might have been the creation of a town blacksmith's guild."

The snake man handed over the drawing and said lightly.

But Yusula stared at the stick figure thoughtfully, and after a few minutes of staring, she slowly spoke.

"I think I saw this thing in the manor the other day..."

"Keep looking!"

"There is a lot of mobility in the city, if you can't find anyone, give me this strange means of passage!"

"Besides, Ophelia's guy has set up a caravan and sent someone to keep an eye on me."

"As for those bug scouts behind me, I don't have to deal with them for the time being."

"The library has many secret passages, and its history is almost as old as the city!"

"Just those bedbugs still want to grab me!"

"Ansetus is sending himself to the abyss ahead of schedule!"

Eusula said viciously.

The snake man bowed, then exited the chamber.

Soon after, the bookcase in front of one of the secret passages suddenly flipped over.

Bezos, dressed in a jazz suit, stepped out of it, slapping the dust off his shoulders.

"Honey, didn't we say we wouldn't see each other during the day?"

"Zuzana Finley, that tigress is very alert during the day!"

"It's better to wait until she drinks the sleepy grass at night, and we'll meet again!"

Bezos couldn't help but count.

"Humph!"

Eusula snorted.

"Ansetus is already aware of it."

"We might be able to move earlier."

"If we can reclaim the colchicum merchant group that belongs to our son, I can ask the family for assistance."

"After nearly two decades of operation, the trade routes in his hands were of great importance to the family."

"And I'm tired of acting with him every day."

She said with a frown.

saw Bezos's face look embarrassed.

"It could have been possible to move within four narozhs..."

"I've even convinced the tigress to take her daughters to visit her relatives at Henry's outpost."

"But just three hours ago, a warning from the Adventurers' Guild was delivered to the town hall."

"It is said that there are signs of monster bonding rituals in many caves outside the city."

"Previously, four related commissioned investigation orders were issued, and all participants were lost."

At this, he paused for a moment and swallowed a mouthful of saliva to moisten his throat.

"Do you know who the delegated publisher is?"

He asked rhetorically, pretending to be hypocritical.

This made Yusula, who was already not very good-tempered, angry.

"Damn it, say it!"

"Uh... The commissioned publisher is none other than that 'baby' stepdaughter of yours, Ophelia Sharon Axol! ”

As soon as these words came out, Yusula looked shocked and immediately asked,

"So she noticed the monsters' movements in advance?"

Bezos nodded in agreement.

"Her friends are not simple!"

"This kind of thing may not even be able to get away with the bronze adventurer team."

"But her friends know."

No one thought that Ophelia had discovered it herself.

All the pots were on her back to that mysterious "friend" of hers.

Through a patchwork of various clues.

They have made up a powerful and mysterious image of a "friend".

"What are we supposed to do?"

Ursula was suddenly confused.

The imaginary enemy went from known to unknown.

Bezos put his arm around her shoulders and whispered in his ear as the wind blew.

"Find her friends!"

……

Isn't the Blue Star plot coming?

Don't worry if some places are a little cheesy, the author likes to be anti-routine.

It's a foreshadowing that looks vulgar but is actually reversed.

A lot of people who skip chapters say that I reduce my intelligence, but someone who doesn't agree to it.

Wait patiently for the plot to extend, and when it really ends, I feel that it's not too late to spray the poisonous spots, babies.

In addition, the two worlds must be interspersed.

To sum up, it is the three-character element of killing and exploration.
