At this time, the per capita annual income of magnesium people is around 1,800 US dollars, which is 150 US dollars a month.

$240 is nothing more than a month's salary and a half.

As long as Chu Xiangqian's newly designed watch is both good-looking and bluffing, it should not be less attractive to middle-income groups.

After entering the island country, it will be about four or five months' salary for the island country, which will arouse the interest of some young high-income groups in the island country.

In fact, these people need to pretend to be more forced, and the comparison will not be small.

But European luxury watches, low-end ones may be laughed at, high-end ones for another one or two thousand, or even thousands of dollars, even if you don't eat or drink for a few years, you can't afford to buy them.

For some young people in the island country who worship foreign countries and even worship magnesium countries, even Hollywood stars endorse this watch, the price of $240 is just right.

——

The Celestial Empire probably felt that the profitability of this batch of watches was high enough, and with the concerted efforts, three samples were produced in just three days.

After calculating the whole cost, the watch factory wanted to quote $30 at the beginning, and basically a watch could earn $7 to $8.

But after the matter was reported to Old Man Tang, the old boy directly quoted $60.

It would be strange that Chu Xiangqian would agree, the pure steel watch sold to Tianzhu before was only 2.5 pounds, that is, 10 US dollars.

Even so, although the profit of the Celestial Empire is very low, there are still some earnings, not to mention foreign exchange.

Therefore, Chu Xiangqian knew very well in his heart that even if the surface of the sapphire needed 17 US dollars, plus the adjustment of the production line and mold, the actual cost should not exceed 27 US dollars.

Old man Tang wants to slaughter himself, how can it be so easy.

In the end, he bargained, and was quickly pressed to $23 by Chu Qianqian.

This time, it was the turn of Old Man Tang and the unit that produced the watch to scold Chu Qianqian in their hearts.

This price is basically not profitable, the cost calculated before, that is the cost of small batch production.

If the mold is opened and mass-produced, the cost can naturally be reduced.

But it's really 23 US dollars a piece, and the Celestial Empire basically doesn't make any money, so it can only rely on earning foreign exchange and subsidizing it from above to earn some hardship.

Moreover, the cost of producing watches from new molds is not small, and it is necessary to adjust the production line, or even a special production line.

If it's a $23 shipment, the devil knows how many years it will take to get the line back.

Negotiations dragged on for several days before a purchase agreement was reached at $26.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian didn't think about going to the Heavenly Empire this time, otherwise, if he continued to settle in pounds, it would not take a few years for the pound to be exchanged for dollars, and it would fall below the ratio of 1 to 4.

At the same time, Chu Xiangqian repeatedly asked in the contract that the design belonged to him, and if he wanted to sell this watch in China, he would be given $10 a piece for the patent fee alone.

In this way, the Celestial Empire would be stupid to produce this watch and sell it in China.

But with a different design and a sapphire surface, Chu Xiangqian can't care about it.

——

Chu Xiangqian thought for a moment, and suddenly felt that if he changed the shape design of the watch in China and then sold it in China, it might be a good thing for him.

In the form of east-west hegemony, many people in capital countries are actually very curious about some products of red countries.

And the red polar bear, the Czech Republic, and East Germany, the technology of some precision instruments is indeed stronger than that of Europe and the United States at this time.

Speaking of East Germany alone, in terms of optics and watch movements, let alone France, England, even Swiss movements, they dare not say that they are stronger than East Germany.

And the Celestial Empire only needs to spend money, or use some unimportant technology, to exchange with East Germany.

There is a high probability that it can really be obtained, not counting the best movement technology in the hands of East Germany.

And this kind of movement is already similar to the technology that big brands in Europe and the United States have.

If he is willing to sell to Chu Xiangqian, he is willing to give even if it is a million dollars, or even two or three million dollars.

Not to mention seizing the market of island countries and South Korea, just guarding the market of Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia, operating well for a few years, more than ten years, this watch company may be able to become a luxury brand in Southeast Asia.

That's not a multimillion-dollar profit.

In the 70s, several companies on Hong Kong Island were watch agents, and their annual sales were calculated in tens of millions.

In the 80s, a young man named Pan Disheng in his 20s borrowed $1 million from his father to open a watch dealership, and after getting the agency rights for two Swiss watches, he opened a second branch in the first year.

Four years later, it spent 5.78 million yuan to acquire a century-old luxury brand in France, and it took a few more years, and in the early 90s, the annual sales exceeded 400 million Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian will definitely continue to disguise his watch brand as Magnesium Company.

This is frustrating, but it is in line with the laws of business, otherwise, Hong Kong Islanders would not be able to look down on local brands.

——

Let's go back to the design of the Celestial Empire cottage Chu Qianqian.

This matter is good and bad for him, but it works well, his side sells sapphire watch first, and then sells it in the Celestial Empire, it must be half a year, or even a year later.

Let the newspaper report it, saying that the Celestial Empire cottage can 100% increase the popularity of the bald sea carving watch.

And then attract more people to this kind of watch, even because the red country is a copycat, that means that this kind of watch is really good.

Spend tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars, invite Hollywood stars to endorse, not to mention island countries, even if it is magnesium country, there will be a market.

It's just that in this way, it seems that I have to get a production line to put in magnesium country, or England.

Regardless of how many watches this production line can produce each year, in short, you can produce them yourself, so as to avoid being told that the watches are imported from the Celestial Empire.

When the time comes, a $100,000 ad will definitely reflect the effect of $1 million.

——

After Chu Xiangqian told Old Man Tang these words in advance, the old guy looked at Chu Xiangqian in surprise for a while, and finally gave him a thumbs up.

Then he said firmly that the Celestial Empire would definitely not give him a chance to fight a lawsuit.

Chu Xiangqian secretly scolded Old Man Tang's elm head, but he also knew that the Celestial Empire really cared about his reputation at this time.

It is impossible to be plagiarized by the international community for the sake of a little profit.

On the whole and in the long run, it is true that the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.

Political influence alone cannot be compensated for by money.

This also reassured Chu Xiangqian, after all, no one wanted to design something by himself, and as soon as he sold it in the market, he turned his head and found that there were people in other countries who were producing similar products to himself.

——

When Chu Xiangqian received a notice, saying that the weapons, ammunition and mortars that he had said before were ready, the watch factory in Jinmen had also adjusted the new production line and officially started trial production.

And three specially created watch samples were also sent to Chu Xiangqian.

Seriously, when he saw the sample for the first time, Chu Xiangqian himself felt surprised and surprised.

Not only is it really good-looking, Chu Xiangqian believes that the Celestial Empire can produce such a suitable watch according to his own requirements, and the manufacturing capacity is not low.

However, if you think about it carefully, the Chinese people actually do not lack wisdom, and it is okay to call it a day and impeach, as long as the interests are sufficient, it is the advantage and tradition of the Celestial Empire to concentrate on doing great things.

At that time, the production line of the 28-bar bicycle was actually handmade.

After that, it will continue to improve to reach the level of annual production of several million people.

Since it has been able to produce all-steel watches before, and there are watch factories in Jinmen, Modu, and Sichuan.

There are even three magic capitals, which means that there are no technical obstacles.

As for the case and strap of the watch, it is only necessary to improve the production line, and it is not technically difficult.

Even a watch production line is ready to be loaded on a ship and shipped to Hong Kong Island.

——

After the matter on the capital's side was settled, the weapons and ammunition had also been transported to the south, and Chu Xiangqian naturally wanted to return to Hong Kong Island.

Get your weapons and ammunition in your hands and sell them to the dwarves in the fantasy world.

But before leaving, I remembered that Nan Yi had said that he was looking for something to find himself.

Just let Yan Jiefang tell Nan Yi to come directly to the courtyard at night.

Chu Xiangqian thought that Nan Yi might be for his nephew Nan Guangsheng, but he didn't expect this guy to come to the door to beg him, but he was actually for a widow.

She was a widow with four children.

As soon as he heard the name Liang Ladi, Chu Xiangqian immediately thought of who this woman was.

People are iron rice and steel, this woman is alone with four children, it can be said that it is more difficult than Qin Huairu.

But Liang Ladi relied on his own efforts and was promoted all the way to level 4 welder.

Even if he married Nan Yi, the family burden was so heavy, he still wanted to give Nan Yi a son.

On the contrary, it was Nan Yi's guy who didn't want one, his own son.

So Liang Ladi secretly pierced the little umbrella with a needle, and it didn't take long for him to become pregnant with a child.

Compared with Qin Huairu and Silly Zhu, Liang Ladi is a model of a good woman.

So Chu Xiangqian didn't hesitate much, so he agreed to help Nan Yi and transfer Liang Ladi from the machine repair factory to work in the rolling mill.

And Nanyi, the stupid son of the landlord's family in the old society, actually took out all the heirlooms this time.

While Chu Xiangqian was surprised, he thought silently, as if this kid had more than one family heirloom.

But if you can take it out, it seems that you really like Liang Ladi.

Chu Xiangqian touched the jade pendant in the box, and immediately remembered the sound of +36 gold coupons in his mind.

Sure that this thing is a treasure, Chu Xiangqian came to take a closer look at it with interest.

After a while, he put this palm-sized dragon-shaped Hanyu back into the box, and then asked with a smile, "It seems that that Liang Ladi will be a sister-in-law in the future?" ”

When Nan Yi heard this, he smiled a little embarrassedly.

To be honest, Brother Liang is not beautiful, but the more he looks at it, the more pleasing he feels.

This is probably the so-called eye rim.

It's a pity that this woman has four children and works in a machine repair shop, so Chu Xiangqian has no chance to meet it.

But if you really meet it, you probably won't provoke it.

It is really this woman's means, which is more than one grade higher than Qin Huairu.

Nan Yi didn't love Liang Ladi at this time, but Liang Ladi was alone with four children, which also made Nan Yi sincerely admire him.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care what the relationship between the two of them was, he put away the jade pendant and the box with a smile, and then said, "Wait for my news, if nothing happens, there should be an order to go to the machine repair factory within three or five days."

When the time comes, whether you will enter the production workshop or be a clerk, it depends on your own choice. ”

Nan Yi couldn't help but be ecstatic, and secretly said that although Chu Qianqian coveted other people's antiques, he was really bright in his work.

As long as he promises, things will be done, and the results will often be unexpectedly good.

Nan Yi hurriedly thanked him, and then hesitated for a few seconds before whispering, "Comrade Chu, my nephew has recently found a few good things.

I want to exchange some game with you, okay? ”

Although Chu Xiangqian was a little disappointed in Nan Guangsheng, he wanted to accompany his grandfather and was unwilling to follow him to Hong Kong Island, and in the final analysis, he was also a filial person.

This kind of person is difficult to dislike, and exchanging wild boars, hares, pheasants, or other antique calligraphy and paintings, in the long run, it is naturally Chu Xiangqian who will make more profits.

I thought of the picture of Tang Bohu's ladies and gentlemen, the spring palace picture, and two landscape paintings that I got from Nan Guangsheng.

Zheng Banqiao's bamboo and stone, Zhuzhi Mountain's grass poetry volume.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji's auspicious crane scroll, flowers and birds, and calligraphy.

Wen Zhengming's flower picture, Daqian lady's picture, Xu Beihong's galloping horse, Baishi's shrimp picture.

There are also porcelain, snuff bottles, wrenches, silver dollars, and even Patek Philippe's antique watch from 1941.

It can be said that the things he received from Nan Guangsheng will be worth more than one billion in the future.

Thinking like this, Chu Xiangqian suddenly missed that kid a little.

Smiled and nodded, "I happened to go into the mountains a few days ago, and it was no problem to separate one or two wild boars." You go back and tell Guangsheng, as long as the things in his hands are good.

It's no problem to give him both boars. ”

Nan Yi was overjoyed again, and then gave Chu Qianqian a thumbs up in his heart.

I heard that some people in the mountains are so hungry that they even have to pull down the bark and eat it, but Chu Xiangqian can still get wild boars, even two, this is the real skill.

In an instant, Chu Xiangqian's hunting ability directly rose to the first place in the north of the Celestial Empire in Nan Yi's heart.

Hurriedly got up and greeted Chu Qianqian, and hurriedly went out to find Nan Guangsheng.

An hour later, the uncle and nephew carried a large burden, and took advantage of the fact that no one was in the courtyard in the front yard and ran quickly into Chu Xiangqian's east wing.

The third master noticed these two people, but he also knew Nan Guangsheng, and even knew that Nan Guangsheng had already traded with Chu Xiangqian.

In line with the principle that the fewer people who know this secret, the better, Yan Fugui's eyes began to pay attention to the residents in the front yard at all times.

Fortunately, next to the east wing, Chu Xiangqian's second aunt lives, and the inverted seat room is Ehime's, and the only one that really needs attention is the one on the edge of the west wing.

Chu Xiangqian naturally didn't forget the matter of secrecy, and the had been staring at the front yard for a long time.

After making sure that there was no problem, he smiled and beckoned Nan Yi and Nan Guangsheng to sit.

After Xue Jinglan poured two cups of tea for her uncle and nephew, seeing that Nan Guangsheng paid attention to herself from time to time, she simply went out to find her second aunt.

Chu Xiang slapped Nan Guangsheng's head forward, and scolded with a smile, "Okay, that's your sister-in-law, my daughter-in-law." ”

Nan Guangsheng, who was beaten, rubbed his head embarrassedly, and Nan Yi on the side didn't mean to be angry at all.

Directly put the burden in his hand on the table and opened it, "Here are two pictures of Tang Bohu's ladies." ”

Chu Xiangqian instantly became interested, and hurriedly reached out to open the first picture.

The sound of +42 gold coupons sounded in his mind at the same time, which suddenly made Chu Xiangqian more and more curious.
