Chapter 72 Tires

More than three months have passed, and the current Luoyu Valley has changed a lot compared to when it was just developed.

Not to mention the tall and wide factory buildings standing at the entrance, nor the neat but different styles of houses in the living area in the distance, just saw the crisscrossing several cement pavements in Luoyu Valley. , it has been refreshing and shocking.

And in the entire Falling Rain Valley, it is not all such icy concrete roads and masonry buildings.

In all the gaps that can be seen, all kinds of strange plants are planted everywhere.

Because it is in the early autumn, both flowers and trees are still in their most prosperous period, so looking around, there are red flowers and green leaves everywhere, covering the workshop and the road in the greenery and the sea of ​​flowers, which is full of vitality , and also makes the whole scene of Rainfall Valley not so monotonous and icy.

Of course, these strange plants were transplanted by Xu Yi from the Night Song tribe. For these elves who have lived in the Forest of Falling Rain for hundreds of thousands of years, this is their specialty.

It only took less than half a month for the elves to use a method that Xu Yi couldn't understand at all to turn the Falling Rain Valley into what it is now.

Because of the elves' obsession with beauty and their special talent, the current Falling Rain Valley looks more like a work of art than an industrial base in Xu Yi's impression.

Because of the effect of these plants, walking in the Falling Rain Valley, not only can you not smell the various odors wafting from the factory workshop, but also make people always surrounded by a refreshing and refreshing aroma, and the whole person will feel extra comfortable. .

President Pomperi jumped out of the carriage behind Xu Yi, just glanced at the scene in front of him. Immediately deeply shocked.

"President Xu. I originally thought that the industrial base you mentioned should be full of messes. But I didn't expect it to be such a beautiful place! I even think that even living here is better than living here. Bangta City is much more comfortable.”

Xu Yi laughed: "If you are willing to become an employee of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then your wish will be easily realized. Now, do you see the row of houses in the distance? It is reserved for the employees of our Chamber of Commerce here. living quarters.”

President Pompely glanced at the house in the distance, which was hidden in the greenery and the sea of ​​flowers, but with different styles, but he couldn't help sighing deeply: "What a pity. I don't have such luck. Xu Hui Chang, I suddenly feel that even if your New Flying Chamber of Commerce does not produce magical machinery, you can make a lot of money just by building such a living area. I can guarantee that there will be many people who want to live in such an environment. "

"The problem is that I'm afraid not many people are willing to live in a place more than 50 kilometers away from Bangta City?" Xu Yi said with a smile.

President Pomperi laughed: "So, we first have to make the carriage run faster. Only in this way can everyone ride the carriage more conveniently and get to where they want to go more quickly."

"That's right." Xu Yi smiled, made a gesture of invitation to President Pomperi, and led him to a workshop not too far from the entrance to the valley.

on the road. Looking at the steel plant that had been put into production in the distance, Xu Yi couldn't help feeling emotional. If it weren't for the existence of this steelmaking plant, he probably would not have finally decided to sell the related technology of the magic kettle.

In fact, Xu Yi didn't have time to fully tell Heinze about the benefits of selling magic kettle-related technologies.

For example, this steelmaking plant in front of us will make great profits from it.

Today, nearly half a month has passed since the day of the press conference. During this half month, a total of 27 chambers of commerce have signed contracts with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and purchased the related technology of the magic kettle from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Since these 27 chambers of commerce have purchased technology, of course they want to produce magic hot water bottles.

However, the material used in the magic kettle can only be silver leaf steel. If it is replaced by ordinary pig iron, it is not only not beautiful, but also not rust-proof, and even the industrial design cannot meet the standard, so these twenty-seven companies that have purchased technology As long as the Chamber of Commerce wants to produce magic hot water, it must use silver leaf steel.

And Yinye Steel, a special alloy steel, can currently only be produced by the steelmaking plant in front of it.

The twenty-seven chambers of commerce had no choice at all other than to buy Silver Leaf Steel through the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

If this steelmaking plant has not yet been established, then only relying on the two small steelmaking plants in the Norma tribe and the Angolan tribe will hardly produce enough silver leaf steel for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to use, then Xu Yi Certainly will not consider the technology of selling the magic kettle.

Since the steelmaking plant was completed and put into operation last month, the steel output in one month has far exceeded the sum of the previous two small steelmaking plants of the Norma tribe and the Angolan tribe, reaching an astonishing 50,000 tons. !

Among the 50,000 tons of various steels, silver leaf steel accounts for more than half of them, totaling more than 30,000 tons.

Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce currently produces so many kinds of magic machinery, the monthly consumption of silver leaf steel is only about 10,000 tons.

Now the output of this steel plant not only greatly meets the needs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but also has a sufficient surplus.

This is the main reason why Xu Yi finally decided to sell the magic kettle technology.

Of course, Silver Leaf Steel was not just sold to these twenty-seven chambers of commerce.

Because silver leaf steel is light, beautiful, and more importantly, it has anti-rust function and is extremely versatile. After seeing the silver leaf steel used in the automatic magic rice cooker, many chambers of commerce have consulted Xu Yi one after another, wanting to Buy this special steel.

Before, because the silver leaf steel produced was not enough for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to use, Xu Yi did not agree to sell it. Now, with the production of this large-scale steel plant, the output of silver leaf steel has greatly increased. Since last month , the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has begun to sell part of the silver leaf steel.

According to statistics, last month Xinfei Chamber of Commerce sold a full 10,000 tons of silver leaf steel alone.

According to the price of 400 gold coins per ton of silver leaf steel, this steelmaking factory achieved a total income of 4 million gold coins terrifyingly last month just by selling silver leaf steel.

certainly. This is not profit.

When selling Silver Leaf Steel. Xu Yi once tried to call out a high price while other chambers of commerce did not understand Yinye Steel. But these shrewd guys, though they don't know much about Silver Leaf Steel, are extremely aware of the cost of smelting iron ore.

In particular, President Morgan of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce even publicly stated to everyone that the cost of smelting one ton of pure iron is about 400 gold coins, so as long as Xu Yi shouted the price beyond 400 gold coins, those who originally wanted to buy silver Ye Gang's chambers of commerce would retreat one after another.

In the end, Xu Yi had no choice but to set the price at four hundred gold coins.

In the opinion of many people, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will set the price of Silver Leaf Steel at this price and not much profit, so the Chamber of Commerce who was still hesitant finally decided to buy it very readily.

However, they did not know that this steelmaking plant used a brand new mechanized smelting brought by Xu Yi from the earth. For smelting with a high-strength magic circle, the overall cost is much lower than President Morgan estimated.

For every ton of silver leaf steel produced, the cost to the steelmaking plant is only about 390 gold coins.

Although at first glance, there is not much difference between 390 gold coins and 400 gold coins, but after all, there is still a profit of about gold coins.

Last month, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce sold 10,000 tons of silver leaf steel, which earned a huge profit of 100,000 gold coins.

And if all the steel produced by this steel plant is sold, the profit can even reach an astonishing 400,000 gold coins!

It is no exaggeration to say that this steelmaking plant alone can generate profits that are comparable to that of the entire household magic machinery production workshop and magic machine tool workshop combined.

Of course, the current market of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's household magic machinery and magic machine tools is still limited to Bangta City and several surrounding cities. If magic machinery creates a larger market in the future, the market space for household magic machinery and magic machine tools is almost infinite.

And this steel mill is currently the biggest function. Or to meet the needs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself, it is naturally impossible to sell all the steel produced.

Among these needs, the tire steel structure workshop in front of Xu Yi and President Pomperi is currently included.

When the two walked into the workshop, they heard a piercing sound of metal cutting.

President Pompel's eyes swept across the factory, but found that he couldn't understand what the workers in this workshop were doing.

He can only see that under the action of these workers and those strange magical machines, the steel rings and steel bars that were not unusual at first finally came together perfectly, and then turned into a carriage that looked like a carriage. The wheels are somewhat close, but in fact they are completely iron products.

President Pomperi picked up a ready-made iron wheel, and found that the steel ring, which was about the height of his waist, weighed at least ten pounds, and he couldn't help frowning.

"President Xu, is this the tire you're talking about? But this thing is much heavier than a wooden wheel, and it's no different from the pure iron wheel I mentioned to you before?"

"It's not completely finished yet." Xu Yi smiled slightly and led President Pomperi and these finished steel wheels to the other end of the huge factory.

This place is lined with piles of steel wheels on one side, and the same pile of black, round, unknown objects on the other.

And next to these dark and unknown objects, there are also a lot of messy things that he can't even understand what they are used for.

"What are these?" President Pomberg asked, pointing to the dark things.

"If I tell you what these things are alone, I'm afraid you won't understand, so I can only tell you that combining all these things is the real tire."

Xu Yi led President Pomperi to the end of the production line.

Just as a tire was just finished, Xu Yi picked it up and placed it in front of him, and the tire stood up steadily.

"What do you think of this tire?" Xu Yi pointed to the tire on the ground and asked President Pompelli.

President Pompel frowned, looked at the tire carefully, and shook his head: "To be honest... I don't know. President Xu, I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me, I can't understand how your tire is made. Yes, I don't even know what these things are. You ask me what I think...I really can't tell."

Xu Yi smiled, pointed at the tire and said, "You try to press harder first."

President Pompel was still bewildered and still pressed hard on the tire, but he felt the tentacles were soft, and the surface of the tire was slightly sunk in by him, but when he let go, he immediately rebounded and changed back. original.

President Pomperi was immediately surprised, looked at the tire, thought for a moment, and immediately said in surprise: "It's surface is so elastic! This is great! If you use this thing to walk on the road, even if you touch it A little bump is fine! I'm sure the carriage ride will be much more comfortable than before!"

Xu Yi laughed: "President Pomperi is worthy of being a professional, and he understood the wonders of this tire so quickly. Yes, with this tire, we will definitely reduce the suffering of many bumps when riding a carriage in the future. And this The tires are far less dragged than those old wooden wheels, and they'll definitely be a lot faster on the road than they are now."

"I believe it! I believe it!" President Pomperi nodded excitedly, grabbing Xu Yi's hand and shaking it vigorously. "President Xu, before you told me to find a way to improve the carriage, I thought you were joking. Now that I see this tire, I finally believe that what you said is true! Haha, just change the tire, It's really great to be able to change the appearance of our carriages!"

Xu Yi calmly withdrew his hand and asked, "President Pomperi, are you willing to buy these tires?"

When it came to buying, the excited look on President Pomperi's face subsided instantly. He glanced at the forum that was still standing on the ground, and he asked tentatively, "President Xu, how do you plan to sell it?"

Xu Yi smiled and stretched out three fingers: "It's not expensive, just three gold coins."

"Three gold coins?" President Pomperi quickly calculated in his heart, and then showed a smile. "President Xu, we can discuss the price later. Before that, can you let me do some tests on this tire? After all, I haven't really used it, so I'm not sure if it's suitable, right? "

Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "This is natural. We not only provide tires for the carriage, but also provide bearings and all after-sales guarantees. The guarantee is absolutely intimate and will never disappoint you."

President Pomperi laughed: "I still trust the reputation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." After speaking, he extended his hand to Xu Yi. "President Xu, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

"Pleasant to work with."

After shaking hands with President Pomperi, Xu Yi suddenly had a naughty thought, reaching out and gently pushing on the still-standing tire.

The tire immediately rolled out slowly and steadily on the flat concrete floor in the workshop, until it finally hit a wall in the distance before falling to the ground.

Seeing this situation, the smile on President Pomberg's face became even brighter. (To be continued..)
