1051 Chapter 1051: Good Things Don't Leave Names
Master froze for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Aslan's words, but when he remembered that his master was a magician, he suddenly became interested.
"It's very big. The most lucrative business in the Central Plains is the magic lamp. The magic lamp has become a symbol of the status of the middle class and the upper class. The cheapest magic lamp costs more than one hundred dollars, and the most expensive magic chandelier is even more expensive. This time, the magic lamp that Ms. Helen's husband was cheated out of is exactly the most common magic table lamp on the market."
When the magic lamp was first produced in the Kingdom of Cleveland, he was frightened by the huge profit of the magic lamp. He did not expect that the price of the magic lamp in the Central Plains was even more expensive.
However, considering the cost of manufacturing magic lamps in the Central Plains, Aslan felt relieved.
The light bulbs of the magic lamps in the Central Plains are carved out of pure white crystals, not glass refined by magic. Their bright carrier is not tungsten wire or other materials, but a magic circuit engraved on the base of the magic lamp. After injecting magic power , forming an illumination technique.
Because the light is formed by lighting magic, in order to maintain the consumption of magic power, the lampshade must be made of magic crystals, so as to reduce the overflow of magic power of the face-to-face technique, make the light more durable, and minimize the consumption of magic power.
Aslan's magic lamp was developed on the basis of electric lights, and the magic lamp in the Central Plains was the real magic lamp.
Naturally, Aslan would not bring the magic lamp technology to the Central Plains. On the one hand, he was worried about being exposed. On the other hand, the magic lamp industry in the Central Plains had already formed a complete industrial chain. Once other magic lamps entered the market, they would definitely suffer from the original magic. The joint attack of vested interests in the lamp industry chain.
Based on the idea that the Central Plains has always gathered the strengths of a hundred schools of thought, there is no reason why the magic lamps from the northern continent should not be introduced. The only possibility is that the huge interests behind the existing magic lamps prevent the introduction of new magic lamps.
If Aslan got a foot in the magic lamp, even if he didn't reveal his identity, he would have to flee back to the North Continent in desperation.
"Master, do you also want to engage in the magic lamp trade?"
Manster asked.
Aslan shook his head without thinking.
The profit of the magic lamp is indeed very large. If a magic lamp of 100 yuan is produced and sold on its own, the profit can be as high as 60 yuan. However, the manufacturing process is the biggest limitation. The inscription of the magic circuit must be performed by the magician himself, and it is impossible to do it on a large scale. Mass production.
The only commendable magic lamp has a very long service life. For example, in the villa where Aslan lives now, the oldest magic lamp was produced more than 50 years ago.
The cost is expensive, the market is too small, and the service life is too long.
He wants to develop a brand new face-to-face prop, which is cheap and has a short service life. For example, it must be replaced after 500 hours of continuous use.
When Aslan thought of this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He thought of a good way to get rich again.
…………
Chester Police Headquarters.
Helen and her husband Paris looked at the senior inspector opposite, and asked in unison in surprise:
"Find it?"
"Caught someone?"
The senior inspector responded with a smile:
"Yes."
He told about the remaining belongings, and Helen and Paris heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.
They can still afford 250 xi yuan, and the remaining magic lamps still have room for appreciation and profit. Overall, the loss is not that big.
Soon someone came to ask Paris to identify stolen goods and criminals. The Police Headquarters was also very busy. If Helen hadn't met Mrs. Curry, she would not be qualified to sit here, let alone accompanied by a senior inspector.
Even one-tenth of the lost property has to be handed over to the police station, pretending to support the Chester police cause.
Helen sat there without losing her demeanor, smiled and said to the senior inspector in front:
"Your efficiency is beyond my imagination. I'm curious, how did you find those liars?"
Knowing that the beautiful and elegant lady on the opposite side has a wide network of contacts, the senior inspector replied without concealment:
"It was done by Garnett!"
Garnett is a well-known bounty hunter in Chester. He has a very good reputation among the middle class and the upper class. Almost no one does not know this bounty hunter.
In addition to being fast, honest and reliable, Garnett is notoriously expensive.
Ask him to make a move, the starting price will not be less than 50 yuan,
Helen and his wife had been thinking about it for a few more days, but before there was any news from the police, they went to ask this bounty hunter to take action, and the psychological price was 200 xiyuan.
"Who issued the reward?" Helen asked doubtfully.
With Garnett's appearance fee, the amount involved is not higher than Wanxi, and it is not a case with extremely bad impact. It is impossible to invite this bounty hunter to come forward.
The senior inspector shook his head and said:
"It's a reward issued by someone else, 400 xi yuan."
"400 pounds?" Helen asked back in surprise.
This is not a small sum, even exceeding her husband's estimated profit from the business.
They are not first-hand merchants, but purchased from the magic wholesale market.
Seeing the police officer's affirmative answer, Helen couldn't help asking:
"Who issued the reward?"
"The bounty hunter didn't say anything, but he was accompanied by a gentleman dressed as a butler." The senior inspector briefly described Munster's appearance.
Helen vaguely guessed who it was, leaned back slightly, and whispered subconsciously:
"400 vid..."
Helen quickly thought of an afternoon tea party between noble ladies some time ago.
At that time, they chatted most about Haidilao hot pot restaurant, because the business was so hot that it was almost full every day, and a second restaurant had already opened in Beicheng District.
A best friend who is engaged in accounting and business estimated that the daily turnover of Haidilao Hot Pot Restaurant must exceed thousands of dollars. After deducting the artificial site and food materials, the monthly net profit must exceed one thousand dollars.
Properly today's dairy cows, although the current Amuro in Chester is not considered a rich man, he can be regarded as stepping into the rich class, which is more than a little bit better than the couple who are still struggling in the middle class.
The definition of middle class varies from region to region. In Chester, people with an annual income of more than 200 renminbi and less than 1,000 renminbi are called middle class.
After getting back the stolen goods and cash, Paris took care of what he had on hand, and thanked Congressman Curry's house non-stop.
As for the person who was suspected to be the butler of Munster, Bei Helen chose to forget about it. Since the other party was unwilling to reveal her identity, she naturally had to keep it a secret. If she wanted to thank her, she could only do it in private when only two of them were needed.
"It's great to bring things back!"
After hearing Helen's reason for coming, Asuna couldn't help showing a happy smile.
Councilor Curry couldn't stop nodding, and it was rare to appreciate the efficiency of the Chester police.
