"You are wrong to say that! Doing business is a matter of mutual consent. Since kerosene is better than candles, it is only natural that I can sell my kerosene."
Although the abilities of soul masters on Douluo Continent are all kinds of strange, the development of science and technology is still at the level of the Middle Ages. For nobles like Ye, kerosene lamps are considered magical, especially the fact that the brightness can be adjusted makes him very happy.
interested.
"But I'm more interested in your kerosene. As for this lamp, I can't make much money."
"This is going to be difficult! The technology of refining kerosene is related to many other more important technologies. If you have tens of millions of gold soul coins, I can sell it to you, but ordinary people can't afford it.
It's a lot of money, but the kerosene alone isn't worth that much.
If you only buy the lamp technology, I can sell it to you for 100,000 gold soul coins. If you can't make this glass cover, you can outsource it to my glass factory, which is guaranteed to be 30% lower than the market price." You must know that glass in this era is an art.
However, here in Chengying, glass can only be regarded as daily necessities, and there is still a lot of profit at 30% lower...
"You are going to drink all the soup and water!" Although he said this, Cheng Ying could see the other party's intention, so he continued:
"This is my honest price. We can both make a profit. The kerosene lamp is just an appetizer. Look at the many things on my counter. You don't have to worry about the chance of cooperation in the future, right?"
In this way, if you feel that you are at a loss, I will give you a little trick for free. Didn't you say before that candles still need to be cut? I have a way to avoid cutting the candles!" As he said this, he turned around and said hello: "Bo! Take it for granted.
Bring one of the teacher’s candles.”
Hearing this, Dugu Bo quickly went to the desk to get a candle. After a few days of contact with Cheng Ying, he truly admired himself as a master. Although Cheng Ying said that he taught him the most basic things, Dugu Bo
But Bo knew very well that the more basic something was, the more important it was. Whether it was cell theory or material atomism, Dugu Bo had benefited a lot from it, and he also respected Cheng Ying more and more.
Chengying took the candle and lit it in front of Ye. Then Ye was surprised to see that as the candle burned, the wick spread into three parts on its own, and then burned into ashes. He simply rolled the wick into
Three strands can eliminate the need for candle cutting.
The principle is so simple, but no one can think of it until they see it with their own eyes.
"As you can see, it's actually that simple. I call this power of change technology, and the things I sell are all new things that can change people's lives." Cheng Ying blew out the candle and raised his head to signal.
Check out the other items on the counter next to you.
Ye also understood at this time that what Cheng Ying was selling was not any product, but the technology behind these products that he named.
"I have already received your gift. If I don't buy it, I will become a villain. I will have one hundred thousand gold soul coins sent to me as soon as possible. What about the drawings?"
Upon hearing this, Chengying took out a piece of paper from the counter and used a standard ruler and compass to draw. In just a moment, he drew the three views of each part of the kerosene lamp, and marked the scale clearly, so that the structure was clear at a glance.
He is not worried about the other party's default. The kerosene lamp is just one of the many little things in his mind. If he uses it to test out a person, Cheng Ying won't feel any distress at all.
"Your painting method is very interesting. Even though it's the first time I've seen it, I can still understand it clearly. It's much easier to understand than those craftsmen's incomprehensible drawings. Is this the technology you're talking about?"
"That's right! Three views are just the basis of drawing." Thinking of the various assignments he had done in the engineering drawing class in college, he felt like he couldn't bear to look back.
"I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future!" Ye stretched out his hand, and Cheng Ying also stretched out his hand to shake his hand: "I still have a few treasures that are not sold! I hope they can fall into your hands."
"The treasure you mentioned must be good. By the way, I haven't asked your name yet."
"Chengying."
"Then let's say goodbye to Brother Cheng!" After saying this, Ye rolled up the drawings, gave a few instructions to the servants outside the door, and then said goodbye to Cheng Ying.
In the afternoon of that day, a carriage pulled a hundred thousand gold soul coins to the door of the shop. Ice Emperor, who had heard that one hundred thousand gold soul coins had been deposited, was eagerly waiting at the door. When he saw the golden hill pulled by the carriage, he was immediately excited.
He threw himself into the pile of gold coins.
"Mine, everything is mine!"
However, before she could fully enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by gold coins, she was carried out by Cheng Ying under her armpits: "How many times have I told you not to play with money? Anyone can touch this thing, it's very dirty."
"I want you to take care of it. Your money is my money. I can play with it if I want!" Ice Emperor bared his teeth and claws, but he was worried about his height. He was picked up by Cheng Ying and his feet left the ground. There was nothing he could do without exposing his strength.
break free.
"Gold coins! In fact, that's what happened. In the future, you will understand that a stack of paper or even a series of numbers can make you more excited than you are now." Cheng Ying also noticed that there is no system in Douluo Continent.
bank, this is also an opportunity for him.
"Are you kidding? How can paper contain gold coins? I don't believe it!" Ice Emperor looked at Dugu Bo carrying a large box of gold coins into the shop with an unhappy look on his face.
Cheng Ying rubbed her little head and said with a mysterious smile: "You will understand it later. I guarantee that you will smile from ear to ear at the string of zeros."
After saying that, he carried Hyokui back to the shop. The servant who was responsible for delivering the money did not suspect that she was just a willful little girl. There are many such girls in the big family.
"Hey! Xiaoying, are you really doing these weird things to make money?" Ice Emperor, who was carried back to the shop, asked doubtfully while licking a strawberry-flavored popsicle.
"That's not entirely true!" Cheng Ying picked her up under Ice Emperor's resentful gaze, put her on his lap, and held her in his arms like a pillow.
"The main thing is to live a more comfortable life! Just like the ice cream in your hands, many interesting things have not yet appeared in this world. If you want to enjoy these, you have to create them with your own hands."
"We have ten thousand years, which is more than a hundred times that of ordinary people. If it passes by in an ordinary way, wouldn't you feel it is a pity?
If you were asked to go back to a time when there was no ice cream, no cooking, no stories, and no lanterns, would you still be willing?"
The Ice Emperor, who was held in Cheng Ying's arms, thought about that kind of life and quickly shook his head: "I don't want to, that would be too boring. Now I don't even want to go back to the far north."
"Yes! This is my purpose! Let me tell you a story!" Cheng Ying said with a sly smile.
Ice Emperor, who listened to stories every day, nodded and wanted to know what Cheng Ying would tell her.
