Chapter 246 0245 Letters From Abroad
When Li Shuangshuang heard the weight of 1 ton, his whole head was buzzing!
It is not a problem for Shu Hua to compile a list of equipment for professional iron gyms.
After all, Shuhua is a leading company in domestic fitness equipment. Ordinary people have never heard of it, but they are a professional supplier and service provider of equipment for major gym chains and sports venues.
For Shu Hua, designing a semi-empty factory building into a private training room of more than 100 square meters was almost easy.
But the difficulty lies in the unusual and even unnatural weight that Chen Jue proposed.
You know, the weights that ordinary fitness equipment can bear are designed in advance, and there is an upper limit.
For example, anaerobic equipment such as rowing machines and chest expanders rely on a pulley + rope structure to pull the weights in the weight box. The maximum weight that can be equipped with one piece of equipment is only three to four hundred pounds.
If you add more weight, it will exceed the upper limit of the machine's design, and the rope material inside will easily break, causing the rope to explode during exercise and cause a safety accident.
Therefore, the equipment in commercial gyms is usually only equipped with weights that are far below the safety indicators to avoid causing damage to the machines.
After all, the original intention of setting up a gym is to attract customers and members to apply for cards and make money. The more durable the equipment inside, the less maintenance costs will be saved in the future.
As for the Iron Gym mentioned by Chen Jue, it is an alternative fitness place that focuses on strength training and the development of muscles and endurance.
For people who like to exercise and exercise, the iron gym will be more professional than a commercial gym, and the maximum load capacity of the training equipment will be higher. It can be regarded as an alternative gym favorite for fitness enthusiasts.
But even in iron gyms, it is difficult to see the inverted pedaling machine being lifted to a load of 1 ton.
Because this weight is simply not something ordinary people can lift up by kicking off the ground!
Looking at the earth's population of more than 8 billion, apart from veteran strongmen such as Ronnie and Eddie Hall, no one outside the industry has ever heard of anyone trying to challenge the 1-ton kickback.
"Is it possible that I have met the Chinese version of Ronnie?" Li Shuangshuang complained in his mind.
Because in the eyes of professional salespeople like them, it is not too difficult to hang 1 ton of dumbbell plates on the machine. All you need to do is thicken and lengthen the load-bearing column of the inverted pedal machine, and you can hang as many dumbbell plates as you want.
But after adding a weight of 1 ton, let alone whether normal people's legs can pedal, the ordinary accessories originally designed for the inverted pedal machine cannot bear it.
If there is an accident with a certain accessory, if the weight of 1 ton falls down, everyone will pay for your meal!
After all, accidents in the gym are not uncommon. Once an accident occurs due to quality issues, it will have a huge impact on the reputation of a brand like Shuhua.
So Li Shuangshuang persuaded Chen Jue on WeChat: "Mr. Chen, 1 ton is not necessary anymore, right? It's easy to cause problems with such a heavy weight (face covering)"
“Fitness should be moderate (smile)”
Li Shuangshuang's implication is also very simple, which is to ask Chen Jue not to put so much weight on him just to look cool and do gimmicks.
After all, there are often people like this in the fitness circle. They don’t have any athletic ability but they really like to lift irons and pose for photos. They go to the Internet to brag about how many deadlifts they can do and how many squats they can do. For those who don’t understand fitness, Show your superiority in front of laymen.
But unexpectedly, as soon as Li Shuangshuang finished persuading him, Chen Jue sent a short video of him practicing reverse kicks in Jiangda Gym, and added the following sentence: "This is my daily training volume."
The content of the video is actually very simple. It is Chen Jue lying on the inverted pedal machine, using his strong and strong legs to pedal the machine filled with dumbbell plates.
After watching this video, Li Shuangshuang was completely convinced!
Because she counted the dumbbells in the video, and there were more than thirty dumbbells in total with a size of 25kg.
Although the weight is far less than 1 ton, Chen Jue pedals quickly and steadily, so he obviously still has a lot of energy left.
"You can kick the ground so ferociously even if it's full of weight?"
“No wonder we ordered 1 ton!”
"This is because the machine has limited his strength!" Li Shuangshuang was convinced by Xiudi.
This is like a top student meeting a god of study.
A top student can rely on 100 points because his strength is only 100 points, while a top student can score 100 points on the exam because the test paper only has 100 points.
So after watching this daily training video, Li Shuangshuang changed his attitude 180 degrees from the previous persuasion and began to check some details of the customization with Chen Jue.
Because if you want to make this kind of super-standard fitness equipment, for example, the hydraulic rods, slide rails, weight-bearing columns on both sides of the inverted pedal machine, or the ropes of the rowing machine, etc., need to be replaced with specially customized reinforcements from the factory.
…
I discussed the customization matter with Li Shuangshuang, and after waiting for an hour, the other party reissued a new quotation that Shuhua had discussed internally.
A total of more than a dozen types of enhanced fitness equipment and subsequent on-site installation costs cost Chen Jue more than 500,000.
This price is quite favorable.
You must know that the sports equipment industry is very deep, and so far, imported brands have controlled the pricing power.
Professional fitness equipment is inherently expensive. A high-end treadmill, rowing machine, or pull-up machine in the gym can cost upwards of RMB 18,000, let alone such a high-end customized version.
Fortunately, Chen Jue has just become a billionaire through the IPO of Qianhe, and he still has tens of millions in cash deposits.
To him, spending hundreds of thousands feels the same as when he used to work as a social worker and earn tens of thousands of dollars a month, and spend 50 to buy two packs of cigarettes after get off work.
"Just sprinkle some water!"
Chen Jue asked the other party for an electronic version of the contract and a public account number. After signing the contract online, he immediately paid the deposit and urged Li Shuangshuang to hurry up.
After all, the conditions in Yunzhai are poorer and lack comprehensive training equipment.
Training with cold weapons such as hard bows and big guns alone would greatly reduce the efficiency of improving attributes. Chen Jue thought that he still had to bring out Li Rui's systematic and professional training schedule.
…
After finalizing the renovation plan for the factory, Chen Jue went to the Cainiao Station in the county.
The pocket drones I purchased earlier have arrived, and I can just use them to brush up on my [Archery] proficiency and see if I can develop a new perfect skill.
Because in addition to greatly improving attributes, Perfect Skill also stimulates the evolution of local body tissues and organs.
For example, the perfect [Hidden Weapon Throwing] enhanced Chen Jue's hand flexibility, and the [Iron Sand Palm] strengthened the resistance of his hands.
"I just don't know what new functions this archery will have after it is perfected." Chen Jue muttered in his heart and drove back towards Yunzhai.
Unexpectedly, I received a call from my second uncle in my hometown halfway.
After the Chinese New Year, both the old house and Reservoir Farmhouse were officially put into renovation and construction. As soon as the upfront payment of more than one million yuan came in, the second uncle helped find a few reliable construction teams and started working in full swing in his hometown of Chencun. .
Chen Jue occasionally watches the daily conditions of the construction site taken by his uncles in the family WeChat group, but rarely expresses his opinions in the group, leaving it up to the elders in his hometown.
On weekdays, several uncles rarely bothered Chen Jue. When he received a rare phone call, Chen Jue asked suspiciously: "Second uncle, is the construction site short of money?"
"No need, no need! We are still laying the foundation now, it won't cost much."
"The procedures for the reconstruction of the old house have just been approved. I have asked your aunt to clean up the sundries inside and store them in the warehouse. In a few days, they will be bulldozed and the reconstruction will begin."
"I have something to tell you! There is a letter from home that seems to be from a foreign country. It is all in English and we can't understand it. The recipient seems to be Xiaojue and you." Second uncle Chen Hongye said on the phone. .
"A letter from abroad? Sent to me?" Chen Jue was stunned when he heard this.
Suddenly he remembered that he went to the Hong Kong government to participate in the IPO listing event some time ago and entrusted Qianhe to handle the transit procedures and passport. He thought they were follow-up approval materials, so he asked his second uncle to forward them via SF Express. (End of chapter)
