Chapter 466: The Advantages of Riding a Wind Boat

"This~~" A shrewd look flashed in Wu Yan's eyes, and he said, "Can you introduce this ship to me?" ”

He didn't refuse, he wanted to talk to Qin Wei more.

This glass is very strange and mysterious, and he wants to know more about it.

The most important thing for a businessman is profit.

And often some strange and powerful forces will contain interests that others do not know.

A strange and powerful force, a dynasty from the Far West, will this bring him a new trade route?

At this time, Wu Yan was no longer interested in riding a wind boat, but in the Dali Dynasty.

"Of course no problem!" Qin Wei said with a smile.

Then he beckoned to the sailor generals who accompanied him this time.

The introduction of the wind boat ride naturally needs to be introduced by a professional person.

And if there is anyone here who knows the most about the ship on the wind, it must be the captain of this ship.

Lu Baifeng, Marquis of Muyang, is currently the captain of the first battalion of the East China Sea Division.

He is the captain of this ship, and he is also the commander of Qin Wei's expedition this time.

Lu Baifeng stepped forward, first bowed to Qin Wei, and then said to Wu Yan: "Please come with me!" ”

The ship is very large, and there are many things to equip it with, and it is not possible to understand this ship in a short time.

Fortunately, now that everyone is stuck here and can't move forward, Wu Yan has time to get to know the ship well.

In this way, Wu Yan followed Lu Baifeng into the cabin and learned about the situation of riding the wind boat.

Qin Wei, on the other hand, stood on the deck and continued to observe the battlefield ahead.

They were still far away from the battlefield, about forty or fifty miles, and they could not see the specific battle situation at all, and could only see the constantly flickering light and surging waves on the sea.

Qin Wei consumed a little bit of momentum, and when he used it in his eyes, he could probably see the flickering pillars of light clearly.

Obviously, the war method of the Great Feather Dynasty and the Dayi Dynasty is very similar to the war method of the Great Thistle Dynasty, and the two sides are constantly fighting for psionic cannons.

This is to be expected, after all, this is the central sea.

Both the cultivation level and the cultivation industry in the central sea area are much higher than those in the western sea area.

Psionic cannons, which are relatively rare in the western seas, are almost the most common long-range weapons here, but crossbow arrows and the like have all been eliminated.

Even ordinary merchant ships are equipped with psionic cannons, which shows the popularity of psionic cannons in the central seas.

About an hour later, Wu Yan's visit ended.

When he came to Qin Wei again, he had an excited look on his face.

"Your Excellency, how much does this ship sell?"

Before visiting the boat, he just thought that the boat was majestic, but after he learned about the boat, he loved it very much.

In particular, the design of the mechanism on the wind boat was an eye-opener for him.

On the contrary, it was the psionic cannon and the wind riding circle that made him feel nothing special.

Qin Wei looked at Wu Yan with some surprise, he didn't expect Wu Yan to really want to buy a wind boat.

In fact, at the beginning, he had no intention of selling the wind boat in the central sea, after all, the shipbuilding technology and various cultivation industries in the central sea area surpassed that of Dali, although the wind boat was good in his eyes, there should be no market in the central sea area.

At the beginning of the Shenglan Dynasty, Emperor Ji also visited the wind boat, but he only said a good word when he took the wind boat, and did not mean to purchase from Dali.

But now Wu Yan actually wanted to buy it, which surprised him.

In fact, he somewhat underestimated the design of the Wind Riding Boat, and it was true that whether it was the Wind Riding Array or the Spiritual Cannon, it was not a rare existence in the Central Sea.

But in terms of mechanical skills, Master Gong Defeat and Ban is definitely the top existence.

Even in the Central Seas, it is difficult to find a mechanic who can compare to them.

As for the reason, on the one hand, the mechanical arts do not belong to the cultivation industry, and the so-called cultivation industry refers to the industry that is closely related to cultivation.

And the mechanism technique is not an indispensable existence for cultivators.

Therefore, whether it is the western sea, the central sea, or other seas, there are tricks, but their tricks are not clever, and they can only be regarded as a small number of people and interests.

Because of this, Dali's mechanism will be particularly eye-catching.

In particular, the wind-riding boat jointly designed by Gong Defeat and Master Ban is even more ingenious.

Wu Yan looked at the mechanisms in the cabin and was simply shocked.

The traps in the cabin are not used for combat, but for support, and the subtlety of the tricks is evident in every aspect.

Let's put it this way, even the toilet on the wind boat is different from other boats, and a small flush toilet has made Wu Yan try more than ten times.

There is no need to say much about the boredom of long-distance sailing, and staying on a ship for months on end is nothing more than hygienic thinking.

The cabins of many cargo ships are stinking and miserable.

However, the cabins of the ships not only have good ventilation systems, but also clean toilets, and even bathrooms.

Compared with those merchant ships, cargo ships, and wind-riding ships, they are exquisite and extravagant.

If Wu Yan was just a small maritime businessman, he would naturally not think about enjoying such a luxury, but he was not a small maritime businessman, and he also hoped that his life on the sea would be more comfortable.

Qin Wei thought for a moment and said, "If the configuration is complete, it may cost 100 million emperor coins!" ”

Qin Wei had learned about the manufacturing cost of the wind boat, in fact, the cost of the wind boat was mainly the psionic cannon and the wind riding array, but the huge hull and those exquisite tricks were pitiful.

Let's put it this way, excluding the psionic cannon and the wind riding magic circle, the manufacturing cost of this wind riding ship is only two million emperor coins, that is, two million large glass silver dollars.

The cost of Da Li's production of psionic cannons is 1.5 million imperial coins, and the wind boat is equipped with forty-eight psionic cannons, so the psionic cannon alone requires 72 million imperial coins.

And the Wind Riding Circle costs about five million Emperor Coins.

Therefore, the cost of a complete ship is about 80 million imperial coins.

However, this was the previous manufacturing cost, when the Dairi Manufacturing Wind Boat had just begun to be manufactured on a large scale, and the manufacturing plant for the Psionic Cannon was also expanding.

As you get bigger and more experienced, the cost will be lower.

The cost of 80 million, Qin Wei's quotation of 100 million, is definitely a conscience price.

Wu Yan was stunned, "So cheap? ”

"Is it cheap?" Qin Wei was a little confused.

This price is very high, and now Dali's financial income has increased again and again, but it does not dare to manufacture unlimited wind boats. At most, six or seven ships will be built in a year, and this is the result of Qin Wei's support with the inner library, if it only depends on the court itself, at most one will be built in a year.

Qin Wei felt that it was expensive based on Dali's financial income, but this was the central sea.

In the Central Sea, the Wanhuang coin is the universal currency, and all the forces and dynasties do not have their own separate currency, and even silver, gold and the like will not be in circulation, only the Wanhuang coin and spirit stones can be recognized.

At the same time, there is also a clear exchange ratio between Ten Thousand Emperor Coins and Spirit Stones, and one Spirit Stone can be exchanged for millions of Emperor Coins.

Although Qin Wei has been in the Central Sea for a while, because he has been floating in the sea, he does not know much about the prices in the Central Sea.

Now he is like a hillbilly entering the metropolis, and the price of goods in the metropolis will of course be higher, and the money will become worthless.

Of course, there is also a reason why Wu Yan misestimated the price of the mechanism art creation.

It is very common to have a machine in Dali, and the prices of various mechanism creations are becoming more and more affordable, such as what kind of flush toilet, which can be afforded by all wealthy families in Dali.

Qin Wei's rhetorical question made Wu Yan feel that Qin Wei was very honest.

That's right, it's honesty.

The price of such a good ship is so low.

At this time, Wu Yan was really moved, at such a low price, he wanted to buy a few more.

However, Qin Wei's wind-riding boat did not meet his needs.

What he wants is a merchant ship, and Qin Wei's wind-riding ship is a warship. But this problem is easy to solve, just redesign it.

So he thought for a moment and said, "Can you help us design a merchant ship?" ”

Qin Wei naturally had no reason to refuse, and said, "Yes." ”

"You can talk about your needs!"

Wu Yan thought for a while and said: "We are a caravan, we can't use such a large ship, the length of the hull is about thirty zhang, and we don't need so many psionic cannons, ten psionic cannons on one ship are enough." ”

"But we like your flying trap beasts, and we'd like to have more."

"Also, the cabin doesn't need that many rooms, just a hundred and ten rooms."

"In addition, it is the Wind Riding Circle, we don't need to ...... it"

As soon as Wu Yan said it, it was a bit endless.

Qin Wei was a little speechless when he heard this, waved his hand directly, and said, "Okay, don't talk about it yet." ”

He probably understood what boat Wu Yan wanted.

What Wu Yan wanted was a merchant ship, not a Chengfeng.

Isn't the ship made according to his requirements the most common merchant ship of Dali?

It's not exactly the same, Dali's merchant ships are not equipped with psychic cannons, but only crossbow arrows.

"Uh, what's the problem?" Wu Yan was a little puzzled.

Qin Wei said: "I'm not good at handling this matter, so let's wait for a while and let someone come to deal with you." ”

If you want to meet Wu Yan's needs, you must have a professional person to deal with this matter.

There is also talking about the price or something, Qin Wei is too lazy to bother with this.

So he decided to let Shen Wansan come and talk to him.

Before he came, he didn't think about doing business in the central sea, and naturally he wouldn't bring Shen Wansan with him.

But now it seems like it's a good way to try.

At the beginning, Dali entered the western seas, it was to save a lot of money by shipbuilding, and now when it enters the central seas, it seems that it is still necessary to build ships and sell ships.

This is really a trick to eat all over the world.

As for whether this deal can be done, whether it is worth doing, that is a question that Shen Wansan should consider, Qin Wei is too lazy to bother with these thoughts.

Wu Yan also understood that Qin Wei's identity seemed to be unusual, so he didn't force it, but just said: "I will leave a specific address for Your Excellency, and there is also the formation pattern of the communication magic weapon!" ”

The pattern of the communication device is the identification number, which is somewhat similar to the meaning of a telephone number. Of course, the formation pattern is not a number, each communication magic weapon has a unique formation pattern, and when transmitting a message, you must first use the aura to outline the opponent's formation pattern on the array disk. This ensures that the letter can be accurately delivered to the other party.

Therefore, knowing the other party's formation pattern is equivalent to getting the other party's contact information.

"Good!" Qin Wei nodded, and then gestured to Xiao Shunzi, asking him to write down Wu Yan's communication formation.

"It may take three or four months for them to come over, and then they will contact you directly!" Qin Wei said to Wu Yan again.

"I understand it below!" Wu Yan also knew that it would take a long time to come from the Extreme West Sea.

In this way, Qin Wei and Wu Yan reached an agreement.

As for whether this business can be successful, it depends on his next negotiation with Shen Wansan.

And Qin Wei didn't value the deal with Wu Yan, he just felt that this might be a good opportunity for Dali to get a new way to make money.

The deal with Wu Yan is just an attempt, even if it fails, it doesn't matter, there is nothing to lose anyway.
