Chapter 53 - sword factory
Zhang Feng thought that the blacksmith Lan Qingyi was talking about was an uncle with strong muscles, a sloppy appearance, a big hammer in his wheel, and bang bang bang bang.
“Why, little brother seems surprised?”
A middle-aged man with a big belly and oily hair in a suit and leather shoes looked at Zhang Feng and said with a smile.
“Uh…you’re a little bit different from what I imagined.”
Zhang Feng scratched his head.
“Haha, it’s the age of machines now, and we blacksmiths have to keep pace with the times! Let’s get to know him officially, my name is Shen Zheng.”
“Hello, my name is Zhang Feng.”
“Come on, please come in!”
Shen Zheng beckoned, and Zhang Feng followed him into a not-so-small factory.
Lan Qingyi took Zhang Feng back here, Zhang Feng felt that this girl didn’t like talking very much.
As soon as he entered the factory, Zhang Feng heard the humming sound of the machine.
There are many machines in the factory, but only a few of them are in operation. You can see some iron bars of the sword model being processed in the machines. It didn’t take long for a brand new sword to come out.
Zhang Feng was very interested in these things. Seeing that a long iron block was processed into a real sword in a short period of time, there was an inexplicable refreshing feeling, which was somewhat similar to the decompression video on the Internet.
However, Zhang Feng found a problem.
“I see that you have a lot of machines, why aren’t they all turned on?”
Now only a few machines have been activated. Although the swords produced are fast, the amount is not large. Thinking about this kind of thing, shouldn’t the more you make, the more money you make?
“It’s useless to drive too much! Because we only have so many orders, if we drive too many machines, there will be excess production and a backlog, but it will tie up our funds! Besides, there is no need to order goods like this. With so many machines, these are enough!”
Shen Zheng smiled bitterly. If he really had money to make, he couldn’t just leave the machines here to eat ashes. He was ready to see if he could sell those useless machines, otherwise he would leave them for another day. Thanks for the day’s money.
Zhang Feng heard two pieces of information from this sentence.
Shen Zheng’s factory has few orders!
These swords are all good looking!
“I see that there are many online sellers of this kind of sword craftsmanship. There shouldn’t be many orders, right?”
Zhang Feng asked the doubts in his heart.
“Hey, you’ve seen this too, as long as you have a few machines, you can make a craft sword like this. It doesn’t cost much. Many small workshops can make it, and their prices are still cheap. We have a lot of markets, so our orders are naturally a lot less. For something like this, as long as it looks good, and it doesn’t require quality, it must be bought by whoever is cheaper!”
Listening to Shen Zheng’s complaints, Zhang Feng felt that although he looked very bright, his business seemed not to be good.
However, these are not what Zhang Feng cares about. What he cares about is the second piece of information.
“I just heard what you said, saying that these swords are all fakes? What are fakes? Are there real ones?”
Hearing Zhang Feng’s words, Shen Zheng laughed and said:
“That’s right, these things, including the ones sold in the world, whether they are open or unopened, are almost all like goods. They look very powerful, but they can actually be cut off! As for the real guy, of course I do. Yes, but…”
Looking at the other party’s sale, Zhang Feng said directly without ink:
“Brother, I’ll just say it straight, what I bought today is this kind of real guy. If you have it, you might as well take it out and see, the price is easy to say!”
Hearing Zhang Feng’s good price, Shen Zheng’s eyes lit up.
“please follow me.”
The two came to an office, which should belong to Shen Zheng. In addition to the table and the boss chair, there are various sheathed swords hanging on the wall. Some are gorgeous, some are very simple.
Shen Zheng picked up one at random, and then took a wooden stick as thick as an arm from the corner.
“Come on, little brother, take this.”
Zhang Feng took the stick.
Bass~
With a soft moan, Shen Zheng drew his sword.
Click!
Zhang Feng only felt that the thick wooden stick in his arm was broken when Shen Zheng waved it at will!
“This… so sharp!”
Looking at the neat cuts, Zhang Feng couldn’t believe it. He had seen Knight Marlowe trained, but Knight Marlowe’s silver knight sword had absolutely no such power.
“Haha, how is it? It’s sharp, but don’t be too surprised, after all, my strength is not small.”
Shen Zheng smiled complacently.
“Great!”
Zhang Feng gave a thumbs up, and then said somewhat puzzled:
“Your sword is so sharp, it should sell well, how could it be out of business?”
“You are wrong. My sword is sharp and not fake, but the cost is also high. The light material is not comparable to ordinary swords, not to mention the processing fee and labor cost. If you think about those COS or something, you can directly buy them on Baotao. It is enough to buy handicrafts and swords produced by those small workshops. For those who want to buy swords and swords for collection, they are not bad, but they all buy brands with heritage, such as Longquan. In their opinion, I have no Historically, it is a small workshop…”
Shen Zheng shrugged.
Zhang Feng understands now. To put it simply, the swords produced by Shen Zheng’s factory are of good material and good technology. However, due to their lack of fame, it is a bit too high to be too good. Those who have no money can’t afford them, and those who have money can’t look at them. .
“How much does a sword like this cost?”
Zhang Feng pointed to the sword in Shen Zheng’s hand.
“The price is more than three thousand.”
Shen Zheng handed the sword to Zhang Feng.
Bass~
Zhang Feng pulled it out and observed it carefully. The scabbard was very ornate, but the sword body did not have those so-called patterns, and it was even dark, but the blade flashed cold light from time to time, letting people know that this The sword is not easy to mess with.
“More than three thousand, it doesn’t seem expensive!”
Zhang Feng felt that the price of more than 3,000 yuan could be won by himself, and he would return it to his knights and let them try whether this sword is more powerful or their knight sword is more powerful.
“It’s not expensive? You think so, others don’t think so! People spend two or three hundred on the Internet to buy a sword that looks much better than this, isn’t it fragrant? And in modern society, what is the use of a sharp sword, the police uncle will teach you in minutes You are a human being! The machines at work you just saw were bought by me later to make cheap crafts and swords, and those crafts were sold much better than my swords!”
After hearing Shen Zheng’s explanation, Zhang Feng realized that he was thinking wrong.
I may think that the sharper the better~www.mtlnovel.com~ But others have to strike.
“That’s very uncomfortable!”
Zhang Feng is very sympathetic to Shen Zheng. He clearly has such a good sword, but he can’t sell it, and the handcrafted swords made casually are very popular.
“Hey, to tell you the truth, I’ve been asking people for the past two days to see if anyone has bought these machines, and see if they can sell them, or sell them together with the factory. I’m going to change careers!”
“Transfer?”
Zhang Feng’s eyes flickered, and then he asked:
“I’ve always had a doubt, a sharp sword like yours is made by a machine? Shouldn’t a powerful sword be made by hand?”
“What you said is right, wrong, or inaccurate. Hand-made swords are really good, but this is good, and it is more reflected in the collection, especially the swords made by masters. There are many collectors madly grabbing them, but In actual combat, I think the machine processing is not bad, even much stronger, after all, modern technology and composite materials are still very powerful, of course, this machine is not an ordinary machine.”
When Zhang Feng heard Shen Zheng’s explanation, he was enlightened. No wonder the works of those masters are so expensive, but for Zhang Feng, practicality is more important than collection value.
“Hey, I’ve said so much, it’s a bit of a complaint, little brother, don’t mind, I heard that you want to order a batch of swords, what kind of swords do you want? Is it good-looking, practical, or both practical and practical. good-looking?”
Shen Zheng asked curiously, no matter what happens in the future, if he can make a fortune now, he will make a fortune first.
“This is not in a hurry, may I take the liberty to ask, how much do you plan to transfer this sword processing factory?”
