Chapter 102 Bicycle Factory, Mysterious Friend [Seeking Pursuit II] [A must-read for readers who are not smart]

[Contains clues and extended content, a must-see for readers who are not smart]

…

Blue Star time at 8:49 am on May 25th.

Chen Xuan appeared in the rental house.

He first took off his bulletproof vest and clothes.

He walked into the bathroom naked.

Standing in front of the mirror of the washbasin, he mobilized his magic energy and activated the [Second Level Stealth Technique].

His figure in the mirror quickly became fainter, until it became almost transparent.

After moving his arms and trying to take a few steps, he found that the stealth effect was not as seamless as he imagined.

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

If you are in an environment without strong direct light, it will be difficult to detect with the naked eye as long as you remain still.

But if you are under the scorching sun or in some areas with special light and shadow environments, you can vaguely see the blurry outline of your body.

In addition, the stealth effect will be further reduced when walking.

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

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

Only after covering the additional clothing, the magic energy consumption will increase slightly.

It's not yet certain whether it can be used for sneaking with people, after all, dead things are different from living things.

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

It's not that the magic skill consumes too much, but that he has used the [plug-in] ability many times in Naroa before.

He took a bath directly, and the shower could completely relax him.

After washing, he took out the bicycle from the storage compartment indoors.

There were ten bicycles in the first batch at Naroa.

Ophelia, Rebecca and he each kept one, and the Blacksmiths' Guild bought four, including one from the first sale.

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

Compared with the sales of mules, horses and oxen in the city, this sales volume is estimated to be less than a fraction of a day. Originally, Chen Xuan's plan was to slowly popularize it, but the order from the Blacksmiths Association opened up new ideas for him.

Naroa has a blacksmith workshop, alchemy and mechanical engineering.

The various runes and magical creations are indeed magical.

However, these technologies are not yet ready for large-scale mass production, and the costs in all aspects are not low.

Of course, Naroa also has cheap manual carriers such as carts.

But it can't compare to bicycles in terms of performance.

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

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

As long as it is a road that mules and horses can walk, then a bicycle can go there, even if it is impossible.

Any black iron level magic practitioner can pick up the 28 bars and run.

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

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" that allows the bicycle to carry more goods or people.

Twenty or thirty years ago in a certain place, there was an example of a 28-bar carrying a heavy load of nearly one ton traveling for 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 large bars" used by postmen at that time.

Basically, one person per person.

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

If we talk about other world records for bicycles, there are more.

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

But bicycles are just "old", not "dead".

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

The Blacksmiths Guild was a breakthrough.

The most important thing is that many of Blue Star's industrial products still have great potential for practical use in Naroa.

How to choose products is the key. Don’t mention the bells and whistles.

The main direction of attack must be various practical tools.

Chen Xuan wants to find common ground between mass production industrialization and magic energy technology.

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

If you just want to make quick money, magic tears and aluminum ingots are enough.

But he is unwilling to stop there. Commercial expansion is only the first step. Gradually having a huge influence in the entire Naroa is his wish.

In theory, the entire Blue Star can become his factory.

The first thing he has to do now is to secure the order for 300 bicycles.

Instead of foolishly going to the online store to buy, he read the manufacturer information on the nameplate.

Directly search the manufacturer's official website and quickly find the contact information of the external sales department.

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

Chen Xuan checked the information of this company through XX.

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

The factory was established in 2001.

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

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

After further inquiries, Chen Xuan discovered 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 a brand authorization.

However, those 28-bar bicycles are still relatively solid in terms of workmanship and quality.

He doesn't care about the other party's business conditions. After all, bicycle factories across the country have been having a hard time over the past few years.

Either transform into battery cars, or specialize and make road, track and touring cars.

There are very few factories that continue to maintain production lines for everyday cars like the 28-bar.

"How about buying it directly?"

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes. He was checking relevant information and found several pieces of information about Yang Renyong, the actual controller of the factory, on the webpage of the local forum...

That guy might be able to get in touch.

And if you plan for the long term, it is definitely more cost-effective to buy from a factory than to order to extend your life.

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

In the future, as long as we have a thorough grasp of it, we can allow the two worlds to conduct joint research.

It's not as empty as a downstream assembly and OEM factory, but it still has something.

Times make heroes, and success in business is often closely related to the general environment.

Thinking of this, he shook his wrist slightly and took out a black iron-level [Contract Bead].

The bicycle factory is just the first step. If the attempt is successful, Chen Xuan's industrial logistics map will be stable in the future.

As long as bicycles are sold in Naroya, it means profits.

It’s not just crown income, it’s also of great significance to influence and business layout.

Without much hesitation, Chen Xuan immediately took out the senior phone named by the great master "Zhang Hetao" and dialed the phone number of the factory.

"Dududu..."
