Chapter 55 Quality Gap
"I have investigated and there are also five magic machine tools in the Leo Chamber of Commerce that produces magic fans..." Seeing that Xu Yi was still pondering, President Fasak suddenly added a meaningful sentence.
Xu Yi glanced at him and said calmly, "President Fasak, please speak up if you have anything to say."
President Fasak's round face no longer had the incomparably cordial smile just now, and a pair of small eyes stared at Xu Yi, shooting two bright beams.
"President Xu, although the contract I signed with your chamber of commerce did not clearly state it, your chamber of commerce sells magic machine tools to other chambers of commerce in Saltan City, should you inform me in advance?"
Xu Yi frowned slightly, thinking that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was originally selling magic machine tools. Does anyone need your consent to sell it?
Of course, Xu Yi is also very clear that this is a very normal business behavior on Earth, but on the Sainz Continent, it cannot be simply generalized.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yi pressed his hand down to President Fasak, signaling him to stay calm, and then stretched out his hand to touch the lower part of the base of the magic fan.
After a while, Xu Yi's face showed a knowing smile that he had expected.
"President Fasak, first of all I have to solemnly remind you that the magic machine is a magic machine completely independently developed by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. As long as others can afford the price, we have a reason to sell it to anyone..." Kehui's face sank immediately, Xu Yi continued with a smile: "Of course, since we are in a cooperative relationship now, as a cooperative partner, of course I have to consider the interests of your Fasak Chamber of Commerce, so we usually We will not sell the magic machines needed to produce magic fans to other chambers of commerce in Salta City."
"Then what's going on with this magic fan?" President Fasak frowned and pointed at the magic fan in Xu Yi's hand. "If you simply rely on hand forging, the production cycle of each magic fan will become extremely long and the cost will be extremely high. However, the selling price of the magic fan of the Leo Chamber of Commerce is actually ten times lower than the magic fan of our Fasak Chamber of Commerce. A silver coin, if it were not forged in large quantities with a magic machine, then I am sure that the Leo Chamber of Commerce would definitely lose money. Of course, I don’t believe that the guys in the Leo Chamber of Commerce would be so stupid.”
"President Fasak, I think you have overlooked something." Xu Yi smiled. "Since the magic fan can be imitated, the magic machine can also be imitated."
"Counterfeit magic machine?" President Fasak's small eyes suddenly widened. "It's impossible! Those five magic machine tools are so sophisticated, how can they be imitated at will?"
Xu Yi shrugged: "Although I don't want to admit it, if I'm not mistaken, this is the truth. The five magic machines that you mentioned about the Leo Chamber of Commerce should be imitated by them."
"But...but is the magic machine tool so easy to imitate?" President Fasak stared at Xu Yi, as if he didn't quite believe it.
"Of course it's not easy, but it's not impossible."
Xu Yi took a tool and disassembled the magic fan in his hand into parts.
As he expected, this magic fan not only looks almost exactly the same as the Xinfei brand magic fan, even the internal structure, and even every part is almost exactly the same.
In other words, this magic fan is completely a copycat of the Xinfei brand magic fan.
"See what's wrong?" Seeing Xu Yi's actions, President Fasak couldn't help but ask.
Xu Yi casually picked up a central shaft part supporting the fan blade on the ground and looked at it twice, hehe smiled: "I can see a lot of problems. President Fasak, the Leo Chamber of Commerce started to sell this kind of magic fan. Shouldn't it be? More than half a month?"
President Fasak was stunned, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, it's really not more than half a month. How did you know?"
Xu Yi pointed to the parts on the ground: "They told me."
"They?" President Fasak's eyes fell on the scattered parts, unclear why.
Xu Yi tilted his head to look at President Fasak: "When you came this time, you should have brought the magic fan produced by your chamber of commerce, right?"
"Yes." President Fasak went to the huge package again and pulled out a magic fan and brought it over.
Xu Yi weighed it in his hand, and suddenly frowned: "President Fasak, when your Chamber of Commerce produced this magic fan, did you strictly follow the standards I gave you?"
President Fasak was stunned for a moment, then called Qu: "Of course there is! President Xu, this thing was developed by your New Flying Chamber of Commerce. How could I not do it according to the standards you set?"
"I can't see it, right?" Xu Yi snorted, looked left and right, and brought a new flying brand magic fan that was rotating in the corner of the workshop, and then brought this magic fan with President Fasak. Put them together, fill the two magic fans with magic crystals of the same size and quality, and press the switch at the same time.
Two light blue rays of light flashed, and the blades of the two magic fans began to rotate, making a humming sound.
Xu Yi pulled President Fasak and blew a cool breeze in front of the two-day magic fan, then suddenly turned his head and asked, "Do you see it?"
The complexion on President Fasak's round face has become ugly at this time.
Although these two magic fans look almost the same in appearance, they have obvious differences after running them now.
The first is startup speed.
After pressing the switch, the Xinfei brand magic fan just took a blink of an eye, and the fan blades began to rotate, and there was already a cool breeze blowing out between the breaths.
However, the magic fan produced by the Fasak Chamber of Commerce took nearly five seconds before the fan blades began to rotate, and it took a while to feel the cool breeze.
The second is stability.
The speed of the blades of the Xinfei Magic Fan is quite stable, and there is hardly any fluctuation visible to the naked eye.
However, the magic fan of the Fasak Chamber of Commerce would slow down from time to time, as if something was blocking the rotation of the fan blades.
In addition to these two points, the Xinfei brand magic fan made a faint buzzing sound only because the fan blades fanned the air during the whole process, while the magic fan of the Fasak Chamber of Commerce not only made the sound of the fan blades a lot louder, but the whole magic power From time to time, there will be a crunching sound inside the fan, and even after the fan blade rotates for a while, the sound will gradually increase. With the constant shaking of the magic fan, people wonder if it will fall apart at any time.
"President Fasak, if you are a guest, and these two magic fans are placed in front of you, which one would you choose to buy?" Xu Yi asked again.
President Fasak's face was as heavy as water, and the fat on his face jumped a few times. He squeezed out a bitter smile and replied: "Of course I choose your new flying card magic fan." Before Xu Yi could answer, he continued. He asked: "But President Xu, why is this? I attach great importance to this magic fan. The whole production process is strictly in accordance with the process and standard you gave me, even the five magic fans that produce parts. The machine tool is also purchased from you, but why is there such a big gap in the end?"
"It's very simple. There are two points of difference, one is raw materials, and the other is manpower." Xu Yi shook his hands with two fingers, and suddenly asked, "President Fasak, the skilled worker I sent to you. , I'm afraid you didn't pay attention to it at all, did you?"
"How could it be! You sent those five people here to teach the production process, how could I not pay attention?" President Fasak immediately said loudly: "Since they left, I have been offering food and drink every day. You don't see them as slaves at all."
Xu Yi shook his head slightly: "Can you make sure that those under your command don't treat them as slaves?"
"This..." President Fasak immediately got stuck, and said somewhat uncertainly: "I have solemnly announced to them that it should not be possible... Cough, President Xu, you should talk about the raw material issue. I don't quite understand, isn't the raw material for making magic fans just iron, so what's the difference?"
Xu Yi sighed, wanting to explain to this guy that there are more than a dozen types of pig iron on the earth alone. I wonder if he would be surprised to drop a few pieces of fat off his face?
Of course, on the Sainz Continent, where the industrial base is extremely weak, even if Xu Yi said these things, no one would understand.
In desperation, he could only slowly explain it to him in words that President Fasack could understand.
"It's also iron, but it's different..."
