"I have investigated and found that the Leo Chamber of Commerce's factory that produces magic fans also has five magic machine tools..." Seeing that Xu Yi was still thinking deeply, President Fasak suddenly added meaningfully.
Xu Yi glanced at him and said calmly: "President Fasak, if you have anything to say, please speak directly."
The chubby face of President Fasak no longer had the friendly smile just now. A pair of small eyes stared at Xu Yi, shooting out two rays of light.
"President Xu, although the contract I signed with your Chamber of Commerce does not clearly indicate that your Chamber of Commerce is selling magic machine tools to other chambers of commerce in Saltan City, should you notify me in advance?"
Xu Yi frowned slightly, thinking that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is originally selling magic machine tools. Doesn't it still require your approval to whom we sell it to
Of course, Xu Yi also knows very well that this is a normal business behavior on earth, but on the Sainz continent, it cannot be simply generalized.
After thinking about it for a moment, Xu Yi pressed his hand down on President Fasak to signal him to calm down, and then stretched out his hand to touch the lower part of the base of the magic fan.
After a while, a knowing smile that had been expected appeared on Xu Yi's face.
"President Fasak, first of all, I have to solemnly remind you that the magic machine tool is a magic machine developed completely independently by our New Flying Chamber of Commerce. As long as others can afford the price, we have reason to sell it to anyone..." Seeing Fasak Hui's face immediately sank, and Xu Yi continued with a smile: "Of course, since we are now in a cooperative relationship, as a partner, of course I have to consider the interests of your Fasak Chamber of Commerce, so under normal circumstances we do not The magic machine tools needed to produce magic fans will be sold to other chambers of commerce in Salta City."
"So what's going on with this magic fan?" President Fasak frowned and pointed at the magic fan in Xu Yi's hand. "If you rely solely 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 Leo Chamber of Commerce's magic fans is actually ten times lower than the magic fans of our Fasak Chamber of Commerce. If these silver coins were not forged in large quantities using magic machines, I’m sure Leo Chamber of Commerce would definitely lose money. Of course, I don’t believe those guys at Leo Chamber of Commerce would be so stupid.”
"President Fasak, I think you have overlooked one thing." Xu Yi said with a smile. "Since the magic fan can be imitated, the magic machine tool can also be imitated."
"Imitation magic machine tool?" President Fasak's small eyes suddenly opened wide. "This is impossible! Those five magic machine tools are so sophisticated and complex, how can they be copied at will?"
Xu Yi shrugged: "Although I don't want to admit it, if I guess correctly, this is the fact. The five magic machine tools you mentioned owned by the Leo Chamber of Commerce should have been copied by them."
"But... but is the magic machine tool so easy to copy?" President Fasak stared at Xu Yi, not seeming to believe it.
"Of course it's not easy, but it's not completely impossible either."
Xu Yi picked up a tool and disassembled the magic fan into its parts with a few clicks.
As he expected, this magic fan not only looks exactly the same as the Xinfei magic fan, but also 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.
"Do you see any problem?" Seeing Xu Yi's actions, President Fasak couldn't help but ask.
Xu Yi casually picked up a central shaft part supporting the fan blades on the ground and looked through it twice. He chuckled and said, "I see a lot of problems. President Fasak, the Leo Chamber of Commerce should not start selling this kind of magic fan." More than half a month?"
President Fasak was startled, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Yes, it is indeed not more than half a month. How do you know?"
Xu Yi pointed to the parts on the ground: "They told me."
"Them?" President Fasak's eyes fell on the parts scattered on the ground, confused.
Xu Yi turned his head and looked at President Fasak: "You should have brought the magic fan produced by your chamber of commerce this time, right?"
"Yes." President Fasak went to the huge package again and dug out a magic fan and brought it over.
Xu Yi took it and 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 exclaimed: "Of course! President Xu, this thing was developed by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. How could I not make it according to the standards you set?"
"Can't I see?" Xu Yi snorted lightly, looked around, took over a new Fei brand magic fan that was rotating in the corner of the workshop, and then compared it with the magic fan that President Fasak brought over. 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 cyan lights flashed, and the blades of the two magic fans began to rotate, making a humming sound.
Xu Yi pulled President Fasak in front of the two-day magic fan to blow the cool breeze for a while, then suddenly turned around and asked, "Did you see it?"
The expression on President Fasak's round face had become ugly at this time.
Although these two magic fans look almost identical in appearance, there are obvious differences after running them now.
The first is startup speed.
After pressing the switch of the Xinfei brand magic fan, it only takes a blink of an eye for the fan blades to start rotating, and cool air is blowing out in your breath.
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 before the cool breeze could be felt.
The second is stability.
The fan blade speed of the Xinfei magic fan is quite stable, and there is almost no fluctuation visible to the naked eye.
However, the magic fan of the Fasak Chamber of Commerce will slow down from time to time, as if something is hindering the rotation of the fan blades.
In addition to these two points, the Xinfei brand magic fan only makes a faint buzzing sound because the fan blades fan the air during the whole process. However, the magic fan of the Fasak Chamber of Commerce not only makes the sound much louder, but also the entire magic fan. From time to time, there will be a clicking sound inside the fan. Even after the fan blades rotate for a while, the number of places where the sound is heard gradually increases. Along with the constant shaking of the magic fan, people wonder if it will fall apart at any time.
"President Fasak, if you were a guest and these two magic fans were placed in front of you, which one would you choose to buy?" Xu Yi asked again.
President Fasak's face was as dark 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 Fei brand magic fan." Without waiting for Xu Yi to answer, he added Asked: "But President Xu, why is this? I attach great importance to this magic fan. The entire production process is strictly in accordance with the process and standards you gave me. Even the five magic fans that produce parts I also purchased the machine tool from you, but why is there such a big gap in the end?”
"It's very simple. The gap arises from two points, one is raw materials, and the other is manpower." Xu Yi stretched out two fingers and shook them, and suddenly asked: "President Fasak, the skilled worker I sent to you , I’m afraid you didn’t pay attention to it at all, right?”
"How could it be! Those five people were sent by you to teach the production process, how could I not pay attention to them?" President Fasak immediately said loudly: "Since they left, I have been serving delicious food every day. Yeah, I don’t think of them as slaves at all.”
Xu Yi shook his head slightly: "Can you ensure that the people under your command don't treat them as slaves?"
"This..." President Fasak was immediately stuck, and said with some uncertainty: "I solemnly announced to them, it should not be... Well, President Xu, you should talk about the issue of raw materials. I I don’t quite understand, isn’t the raw material used to make the magic fan 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 so surprised that some of the fat on his face would fall off
Of course, in this Sainz continent with an extremely weak industrial foundation, even if Xu Yi said these things, no one would understand.
In desperation, he could only slowly explain it to President Fasak in words he could understand.
"They are both iron, but they are also different..."
