…

8:49 am on May 25th, Blue Star time.

Chen Xuan appeared in the rental house.

He took off his bulletproof vest and clothes first.

He walked into the bathroom naked.

Standing in front of the mirror in the washbasin, he mobilized magic and activated [Second-level Stealth].

His figure in the mirror quickly became faint until it became almost transparent.

He moved his arms and tried to walk a few steps, and he found that the stealth effect was not as seamless as he imagined.

It was probably similar to the ghost mode in a certain FPS online game.

If there is no strong direct light, as long as you stay still, it is difficult to detect with a rough scan of the naked eye.

But if it is under the scorching sun or in some areas with special light and shadow environments, then you can vaguely see the blurred outline of the figure.

In addition, the stealth effect will be further reduced when walking.

If you stimulate the magic element, the outline will be more obvious.

Then, Chen Xuan did a lot of tests. He put on clothes and shoes and found that the stealth effect was not affected.

It’s just that after covering the extra clothes, the magic element consumption will increase slightly.

It’s not certain whether it can lead people to sneak, after all, dead things are different from living things.

After exiting the stealth state, Chen Xuan felt slightly tired.

It’s not that the magic skills consume too much, but that he has used the [plug-in] ability many times in Naroa before.

He took a shower directly, and the shower allowed him to completely relax.

After washing up, he took the bicycle out of the storage compartment indoors.

There were a total of ten bicycles in the first batch of Naroa.

Ophelia, Rebecca and he each kept one, and the Blacksmith Association bought four, one of which was bought during the first batch of sales.

In addition, there were two scattered adventurers who bought two, and the last one was bought by Ansitus.

Compared with the mules, horses and cattle in the city, this sales volume is estimated to be less than a fraction of the daily sales. Originally, Chen Xuan planned to gradually popularize and promote it, but the order from the Blacksmith Association opened up new ideas for him.

Naroa has blacksmith workshops and alchemical mechanical engineering.

Various runes and magic creations are indeed magical.

However, these technologies cannot be mass-produced on a large scale, and the costs in all aspects are not low.

Of course, Naroa also has cheap manual transportation tools such as carts.

But in terms of performance, it is not as good as bicycles.

So the positioning of bicycles is very simple, that is, below rune creations and above conventional tools.

As one of the most universal means of transportation in Blue Star.

As long as the road can be walked by mules and horses, then bicycles can go, even if it is really impossible.

Any black iron-level magic element practitioner can carry a 28-bar and run.

The horizontal bar design is the biggest feature of the 28-bar.

It increases the strength and stability of the bicycle body, which naturally greatly enhances the load-bearing capacity of the bicycle.

At the same time, the horizontal bar is equivalent to an additional "hanging point" that can allow the bicycle to carry more goods or people.

Twenty or thirty years ago, there was an example in a certain place where a 28-bar bicycle carried nearly one ton of heavy objects and traveled seven kilometers.

In addition, the stable design of the horizontal bar greatly reduced the probability of vehicle damage.

The most typical and widely used example is the postal "28-bar bicycle" used by postmen at that time.

Basically, everyone had one.

Of course, that horizontal bar was also the nightmare of countless children.

If we talk about other world records of bicycles, there are even more.

It's just that the times have changed, and many young people's impressions of transportation have also changed accordingly.

But bicycles are just "old", not "dead".

It can carry the last century of Blue Star, and it can carry the current universal tool needs of Naroya.

The Blacksmith Association is a breakthrough.

The most important thing is that many industrial products of Blue Star still have great practical potential in Naroya.

How to choose products is the key, and those fancy things are not mentioned.

The main focus must still be various practical tools.

Chen Xuan wanted to find the common ground between mass production industrialization and magic energy technology.

That's why he was going to communicate with the blacksmith who was said to be frantically looking for clues to firearms.

If he just wanted to make quick money, magic tears and aluminum ingots would be enough.

But he didn't want to stop there. Business expansion was only the first step. His wish was to gradually have a huge influence in the whole of Naroya.

Theoretically, the whole Blue Star could become his factory.

What he had to do now was to get the order for the 300 bicycles.

No longer foolishly going to the online store to buy, he looked at the manufacturer's information on the nameplate.

Directly searched the manufacturer's official website and quickly found the contact information of the external sales department.

The factory is called [Zhejiang Hangzhou Shanxiao Qianjiang Bicycle Factory].

Chen Xuan checked the information of this company through a certain search.

It was found that there were 53 violations in recent years, as well as debt warnings and lawsuits.

The factory was established in 2001.

The main projects are: bicycles, baby carriage assembly, bicycle accessories, baby carriage accessories manufacturing, processing*.

It is still in existence, but its major shareholder Yang Renyong has a record of being restricted from high risk.

After further investigation, Chen Xuan found that the factory had operational problems and was on the verge of bankruptcy.

In fact, what Chen Xuan bought was not the real "Forever".

It was just a brand authorization.

However, those 28-bar bicycles were still relatively solid in terms of workmanship and quality.

He didn't care about the other party's business conditions. After all, bicycle factories across the country have had a hard time in recent years.

Either transform into electric bicycles, or specialize in road, track and travel bicycles.

Few factories continue to maintain the production line of daily bicycles such as 28-bar.

"Or, buy it directly?"

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes. He looked up relevant information and found several pieces of information about the actual controller of the factory, Yang Renyong, on the webpage of the local forum...

Maybe you can contact that guy.

And if you plan for the long term, buying a factory is definitely more cost-effective than ordering to prolong your life.

And the other party is a factory that integrates production and sales, with a research and development foundation and technical reserves.

In the future, as long as you have a thorough grasp of it, you can let the two circles conduct joint research.

It is not as empty as the downstream assembly and OEM factories, there is still something.

However, the times make heroes, and whether business can succeed is often closely related to the overall environment.

Thinking of this, he shook his wrist and took out a black iron-level [Contracting Pearl].

The bicycle factory is just the first step. If the attempt is successful, Chen Xuan's industrial logistics map will be stable in the future.

As long as the bicycles are sold in Naroya, it means income.

Not only the income in crowns, but also the influence and business layout.

Without much hesitation, Chen Xuan immediately took out the old-age mobile phone under the name of the great god "Zhang Hetao" and dialed the factory's phone.

"Beep beep..."

After waiting for half a minute, the call was connected.

"Hello, hello, this is Shanxiao Qianjiang Bicycle Factory."

"Excuse me, which dealer are you from?"

A steady female voice came from the big speaker of the old-age mobile phone.

"Hello, I want to order 300 28-bar bicycles."

"The nameplate batch number is QJ7027."

Chen Xuan said straight to the point, there is no need to hide the head and tail when purchasing.

For such a factory that is about to go bankrupt, there are thousands of national dealers and distributors.

The key is that bicycles are not franchised products, but just a small wave in the river of capital circulation.

As expected, the other party became more enthusiastic when he heard his words.

"Yes, yes!"

"I see that your number is located in Guizhou Province. Is your store and warehouse also there?"

The guy who bought 300 bicycles at a time either has a large bicycle dealer or a small local wholesaler.

The factory will first ask the location to determine the local distribution situation.

"I am not a dealer. This batch of bicycles is purchased for personal use."

"Do you have any goods in your factory now?"

His words immediately reduced the enthusiasm of the other party.

If a large wholesaler is developed, it is normal to have a few million more sales every year.

For scattered orders, the attraction is not so great.

However, this is still a purchase of more than 100,000 yuan, which is a piece of meat anyway.

The situation of the factory is a bit complicated now, and no business can be missed.

"I understand, please wait a moment."

After the other party replied, there was a sound of typing on the keyboard.

"The factory direct sales price here can be given to you at 578 yuan per vehicle, but the logistics fee is not included."

"The invoice will be given to you before the declaration period of the next quarter."

Chen Xuan did not say a word. Compared with the free shipping price of 680 yuan in his online store, 578 yuan is about 15% cheaper.

In fact, he knows that the wholesale price of the physical industry is about 15% to 30% lower than the market price.

As for the real ex-factory price, it is even lower.

The factory will give different prices according to customers of different sizes.

"Okay, I'll go there in person."

"The address of your factory is xxxx, Chengxiang Street, Shanxiao District, right?"

"Yes, tell the guard that you are here to discuss business in the sales department and someone will lead you in."

The other party replied concisely, perhaps thinking that Chen Xuan was talking nonsense.

"I will come to your office in the afternoon to discuss in person, and maybe I will order more."

"Okay, waiting for your arrival."

...

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xuan immediately booked a high-speed rail ticket to Hangzhou in an hour.

The journey only took 52 minutes, but there was still more than 20 kilometers from Hangzhou East Station to Chengxiang Street.

Fortunately, the APP showed that the area was not too congested, and it would take more than half an hour to get there by taxi.

It was 9:27 in the morning, and Chen Xuan estimated that it would be better to go there at two or three in the afternoon.

The journey certainly wouldn't take so long, but he had to make some preparatory measures before entering the factory.

After changing into a refreshing outfit and taking his ID card, Chen Xuan set off directly.

He was too lazy to cover up his face, after all, there were too many traces left when he acted in the country.

There was no need to cover up the truth, as long as it did not touch the field of regulatory rules, it would be fine to act more naturally.

This time he would try to contract on Blue Star. If the test failed, he would start the alternative plan and honestly take the goods and leave.

By the way, he took out 49,900 cash and found a paper bag to put it in.

Chen Xuan then walked out of the house.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lin Qiang, who lived upstairs, walking down the stairs in casual clothes.

Compared to the rush on weekdays, this guy was very relaxed on weekends.

"What a coincidence, you are going out too!"

"Why haven't I seen you catching the subway in the morning recently?"

"Is there a changing of the guard?"

Lin Qiang wore a black knee-length skirt today with lace trim.

A large area of ​​white and greasy skin was exposed on the neck and shoulders, as well as a four-leaf clover necklace.

She put on light makeup, her eyebrows and eyes were full of spring color, and she looked carefully groomed.

Chen Xuan glanced at her and gave her a friendly and perfunctory smile.

"I was laid off."

"I'm preparing to start my own business."

He casually said that there was no need to lie to Lin Qiang about his job.

"Oh...it's great to start a business!"

"Then I wish you immediate success!"

"If you get rich, don't forget to arrange a good job for me."

"This Lian family is becoming increasingly unable to continue."

The two parties were just acquaintances and had no conflicts, so Lin Qiang did not ridicule his unemployment.

Although Lin Qiang longed to fly up a branch and become a phoenix in Tianhai City.

But she knew very well that Chen Xuan, like her, was a little ant struggling in this city.

After chatting for a few words, she nodded gently and walked past Chen Xuan.

I accidentally caught a glimpse of the cash in the paper bag in his hand, but I wasn't surprised.

"It should be a small-cost business."

"It's a pity. With such a handsome appearance and a solid job, it's hard to fall into the trappings."

She thought to herself, disapproving of this.

I thought Chen Xuan started his business by setting up a street stall.

Tens of thousands of dollars in the Magic City is really just a small splash.

The two walked out of the community one after another, and soon Lin Qiang got into an Audi A7 waiting on the roadside.

It was an imported old model, but the butt of the car was really handsome.

As the car drove out along the street, Chen Xuan saw Lin Qiang, the co-pilot, smiling happily.

Compared to before, Lin Qiang was a "normal" young man in this city.

And he already felt out of place.

Shrugging, Chen Xuan stopped a taxi and rushed towards the high-speed rail station.

…

Magtan City.

The sixth water clock hour on Sunday.

There are many people borrowing classics in the bustling library.

In a secret room deep in the museum, Yusula was sitting on a chair, holding her head and listening to the report of a strange guy in front of her.

This guy's body is humanoid, but his face is covered with scales, and his eyes are yellow vertical eyes belonging to cold-blooded animals, and his tongue is forked.

There is no nose, only nostrils, and he often spits out letters when he is quiet. He is a relatively rare snake man in the local area.

"That's just the way it is."

"The groom at Boltan Village Inn said that your stepdaughter rushed to the village inn with a cat-eared girl and a human male."

"Shortly afterwards, there was heavy fighting."

"But no one saw how Master Harward died."

Yusula was silent for a while, then stretched out his hand to rub the center of his brow.

"I know that bitch Ophelia has a lot of weird friends."

"But that's not the point. I want to know who those people are!"

There was always an air of hostility in her words.

I saw the snake man spit out the letter and took out a simple drawing from behind.

A peculiar vehicle is drawn on it.

Two thick horizontal bars fixed two large tires on the same plane.

"What's this?"

"The means of transportation used by the other party."

"The groom was very impressed by this thing. It may be the creation of a certain town's blacksmiths' guild."

The snake man handed over the picture and said lightly.

But she saw Yusula staring at the simple drawing thoughtfully. After looking at it for several minutes, she slowly spoke.

"I think I saw this thing in the manor a few days ago..."

"Keep checking!"

"There is a lot of mobility in the city. If you can't find anyone, let me check this strange traffic tool!"

"Besides, Ophelia has organized a caravan and sent people to keep an eye on it."

"As for the bug scouts behind me, we don't need to deal with them for the time being."

"The library has many secret passages, and its history is almost as long as this city!"

"Just because those bed bugs still want to catch me!"

"Ansetus is sending himself to the abyss ahead of schedule!"

Ursula said viciously.

The snake man bowed and bowed, then exited the secret room.

Not long after, the bookcase blocking one of the secret passages suddenly flipped over.

Bezos, wearing a jazz uniform, walked out, dusting his shoulders.

"Dear, didn't we agree not to see each other during the day?"

"Zuzana Finley, that tigress is very alert during the day!"

"It's best to wait until she drinks somnolence grass at night before we meet again!"

Bezos couldn't help but scolded.

"snort!"

Yusula snorted coldly.

"Ansetus has noticed."

"Perhaps we can move earlier."

"If I can take back the colchicum business group that belongs to our son, I can ask for help from the family."

"Those trade routes he has mastered have been operated for nearly twenty years and are of vital importance to the family."

"And I was tired of acting with him every day."

She said with a frown.

But I saw Bezos looking troubled.

"Originally, we could have taken action within four Narro days..."

"I've even convinced Tigress to take her daughters to visit relatives at Henry's outpost."

"But just three water clock hours ago, a warning from the Adventurer's Association was sent to the City Hall."

"It is said that there are signs of the Monster Alliance Ceremony in many caves outside the city."

"Four related commissioned investigation orders have been issued before, and all participants have lost contact."

Here, he paused for a moment and swallowed a mouthful of saliva to moisten his throat.

"Do you know who the commissioner is?"

He asked in a mysterious way.

This made Ursula, who was not in a good temper, very angry.

"Damn it, tell me!"

"Uh... the commissioner is your 'baby' stepdaughter, Ophelia Sharon Axo!"

As soon as this was said, Ursula was shocked and asked immediately,

"So she discovered the monsters' unusual movements in advance?"

Bezos nodded in agreement.

"Her friend is not simple!"

"Even the bronze adventurer team may not be able to escape unscathed from such a thing."

"But her friend can know."

No one thinks that Ophelia discovered this by herself.

All the blame was placed on her mysterious "friend".

Through the piecing together of various clues.

They imagined a powerful and mysterious "friend".

"What should we do?"

Ursula was suddenly confused.

The imaginary enemy changed from known to unknown.

Bezos put his arm around her shoulders and whispered in her ear.

"Find her friend!"

...

Isn't the plot of Blue Star coming?

Don't worry if some places are a little tacky, the author likes to go against the routine.

It's a foreshadowing that looks tacky but is actually reversed.

Many people who skip chapters say that I have lowered my intelligence, but I don't agree with that.

Be patiently wait for the plot to extend. It's not too late to spray it if you think it's poisonous when it really ends, babies.

In addition, the two worlds must be written in an interspersed manner.

To sum up, it is the three elements of killing, seeding and exploring.
