Chai Lun is a person who does things vigorously and resolutely, and the two of them directly talked about various professional terms about the puppet factory at the dinner table.
"In the past, when Mr. Che helped the Xianmen Fourth Arsenal to design weapons, assemble puppets, and machine automation, I also followed him to do odd jobs. I originally thought that things like the puppet factory would only be used in the Xianmen's large size.
.”
Chai Lun said with emotion, using puppets to replace human labor is a very luxurious thing.
Because there are many monks in the Immortal Sect, labor is cheap.
But a puppet, even the most ordinary first-level one, costs 100,000 good deeds to start.
The latest data on the average salary of qi-training monks in the Immortal Sect is 14,750 good deeds per person per year, but in a remote city like Danxia City, it does not even reach this average.
In other words, the price of making a puppet was enough for Chen Mobai to hire a Qi training monk for nearly ten years.
Moreover, the scope of use of puppets is still very narrow. First-level ones can only recognize some commonly used commands, which is far inferior to humans.
If we talk about the advantages, it is that the puppet is absolutely obedient and will not make mistakes. In addition, there is no need to rest. As long as there is sufficient energy, it will work endlessly.
"I plan to make my factory bigger and stronger. After all, I still have at least two hundred years of life. After this one-time investment in this puppet factory, it will only take about ten years to recover the cost. If you tighten your belt for a while,
In exchange for huge profits in the future, I think it’s quite a deal.”
Chen Mobai's words were half true and half false, mainly because the puppet absolutely obeyed confidentiality and would not expose the resources he was using to bleach the Tianhe Realm in the Immortal Sect.
"But it seems like your funds are a bit lacking?"
Chai Lun put down his wine glass and looked troubled.
He had already read Chen Mobai's plan before he came here. The cost of one hundred puppets would be tens of millions. In addition to purchasing new equipment and assembly lines to adapt to the puppets, it may require an investment of nearly two thousand.
Only good deeds will do.
Among them, 1.8 million good deeds have been done to the "Tian Shuzhu" alone.
"It's okay, I have a backup fund plan, and what I want is to complete the overall plan first, without investing in it all at once. The old instruments and equipment for making talisman paper and ink can be renovated first."
"But the main thing is that I still need your help, Senior Chai, to make puppets and reduce costs."
"The main body and unimportant parts of the puppet are made of wood, thus saving nearly two million in charity."
After hearing Chen Mobai's words, Chai Lun couldn't help but look surprised.
"Although using wood can reduce costs, it also ages and damages faster. Originally, a puppet of yours could be used for twenty or thirty years. In this case, I'm afraid it won't even last ten years."
The most expensive thing about a puppet is the chip, which is the main controller. This thing is all technology. If you want to use the apocalypse to identify and control, you can't save it.
The next step is the driving device, but since Chen Mobai has his own spiritual stone, he can save a lot of money.
For the rest of the spiritual energy pipes, movable joints, adjustment gears, etc., it is not easy to lower the standard for later maintenance.
But for the remaining half of the puppet body, as long as Party A has no objection, there is no problem in using any material.
The most high-end is naturally the bionic material of the phaseless doll, which can perfectly simulate the human body.
Next are hard spiritual materials such as refined iron alloys, among which wood is the cheapest.
Because it breaks easily.
However, Chen Mobai himself is now an excellent puppet master. He only requires that the framework of the puppet factory be set up first. Later, he can stay in the factory by himself to maintain and repair it.
Another main reason is that he is sitting in the secret realm of the sacred tree, and the spiritual tree resources are almost endless, so he can go whoring for free.
In fact, there is another problem, that is, before using the spirit wood to make puppets, you actually need to check the relevant documents of the Xianmen Forestry Bureau to ensure that these spirit trees have been approved and legally felled and bought.
But among them, Chen Mobai himself was Party A, and Chai Lun was the one who invited him to make the puppet. He had already acquiesced that the sources of the junior's materials were legal, and there would be no need to do anything unnecessary.
However, for the sake of insurance, Chen Mobai still ordered a batch of spiritual wood from the supplier he had cooperated with in Yumu City next door in the name of Feitian Talisman Factory.
In this way, even if the relevant departments come to investigate in the future, they will be able to produce relevant documents.
There will be some problems with the quantity, but in Danxia City, Chen Mobai is confident that with his background, the Xianmen agency will not find out to this extent. After all, Qin Baipeng has provided a lot of policy support in order to let him settle.
.
Moreover, when the business becomes bigger and stronger in the future, Chen Mobai plans to contract a forest farm in Yumu City. By then, he will be able to control the upstream and downstream, which can perfectly make up for this problem.
"I probably understand, but I still need your guidance, junior, on some key points during production."
After finishing the meal, Chai Lun looked at Chen Mobai with admiration, and his tone of voice was somewhat polite.
During the exchange between the two in the puppet factory, Chai Lun sometimes couldn't even keep up with Chen Mobai's thoughts, which meant that his attainments in puppetry were no longer as good as the junior in front of him.
However, Chai Lun didn't have any unnecessary emotions. He even felt in his heart that Chen Mobai was indeed the chief of the Wuqi Taoist Academy, Teacher Che's proud disciple, and the number one foundation builder in the Immortal Sect. It was normal for his talents to exceed his own.
But he didn't know that Chen Mobai's attainments in the Puppet Way were all due to the Enlightenment Tea.
"You're welcome, Mr. Chai. I still need you to work hard and summon some puppet technicians to complete the general framework of this puppet factory."
Chen Mobai knew that Chai Lun was really capable, so he left the business to him.
"Wrap it around me."
Chai Lun patted his chest, and then immediately called people from his company and asked them to come to Danxia City with various tools.
After arriving at Feitian Talisman Factory, the two signed a custom-made contract.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It was agreed that with a total price of 2.2 million for good deeds, one hundred labor-type first-order puppets would be made according to Chen Mobai's requirements. Among them, Chai Lun was only responsible for
Party A, Chen Mobai, is responsible for the production and procurement of various materials for the puppet. After the customization is completed and accepted, Party A will also be responsible for the subsequent maintenance and upkeep.
Among them, because he knew that Chen Mobai was short of funds, Chai Lun generously only accepted an advance payment of one million for his good deeds, and the remaining balance of 1.2 million could be paid in installments over the next three years.
Chen Mobai was naturally very grateful for this.
A few days later, after he helped arrange the technical staff of the Chailun Puppet Manufacturing Factory, he personally went to Yumu City and negotiated with several wood factories, making it seem as if he had actually purchased a lot of spiritual wood.
Since Feitian Talisman Factory usually only stores talisman paper and does not need a large warehouse, after the first batch of purchased spiritual wood was shipped, there was no place to put it.
But this was Chen Mobai's intention. He used this as an excuse to ask Qin Baipeng for help, rented a large open space outside the city, and placed the spiritual trees purchased from Yumu City here.
Every time before someone from Chai Lun makes a puppet, he arranges for someone from the Talisman Factory to come over, cut the spirit wood into various lengths as required, and then transport it into the city on a trolley.
Most of the time, there is no one in this open space where the spirit trees are stored. There is only a simple formation enclosure and protection. Chen Mobai added a mysterious mist talisman to cover it.
Then I worked hard on myself and tied together the red Yang spirit trees that were chopped down by the Yuanyang Sword in the secret realm of the sacred tree last time. Then I put my hand on them and sent them here in batches through the turtle treasure.
In the Shenmu Sect, the Chiyang Spirit Wood is used to burn fires.
This kind of spiritual wood has a mild temperature, and the temperature of the spiritual fire produced by calcining is easy to control, making it very suitable for alchemy.
But when it comes to the Immortal Sect, it is already considered a top-grade spiritual wood. The green cypress spiritual wood purchased by Chen Mobai from Yumu City is not even as good as the red sun spiritual wood.
"Brother Chen, the quality of the first batch of spirit wood is not very good. I'm afraid the puppets will be scrapped after running for two or three years at most. I think it's better not to save too much on this cost."
In the workshop of the Talisman Factory, Chai Lun pointed at the first batch of ten puppets that he and his technical backbone made using green cypress spiritual wood, with an unsatisfied expression on his face.
"Okay, I'll listen to my senior. All the spiritual wood from this supplier will be returned, and all the subsequent spiritual wood will be replaced with the second one."
Chen Mobai was originally thinking about how to eliminate the Qingbai spirit wood naturally and use all the red Yang spirit wood. Chai Lun's words just made him follow the trend.
"The spiritual hoses, gear pieces, movable joints and other materials are sufficient, but the main controller chip has not yet arrived. If you want to debug the puppet, you must seize these materials."
Chai Lun was satisfied when he heard that Chen Mobai was so obedient, but he still made a request for material supply.
"I'll make another call. If it doesn't work out, I'll go to Xixuan Cave in person."
Fortunately for the rest of the materials, Chai Lun's puppet manufacturing factory has its own long-term supplier. After his introduction, Chen Mobai completed the purchase at the lowest price and is shipping them to Danxia City in batches.
But only things like the master controller need to be from the chip factory under Butian Taoist Temple, so that they can perfectly match the Tianshu Zhu.
Chen Mobai naturally called Lou Fengcheng again. The latter didn't want to talk to him at first, but he helped him with the first favor. If he refused this small request, wouldn't it be contradictory? It would be better to just buy the celestial bead.
Just refuse it directly.
There was no way, Lou Fengcheng could only help again and introduced a junior in charge of chip sales to Chen Mobai.
In the name of Chen Mobai, the first foundation of the Immortal Sect, a contract for one hundred first-order puppet master controller chips was concluded.
But the total price of this contract is 3.8 million yuan, which can be said to be the most inconspicuous among the Butian chip factories. Moreover, due to its low technical content and thin profits, it has not been taken seriously at all.
Even so, Chen Mobai still needs to pay the full amount after signing the contract, and Butian Chip Factory will arrange processing and production.
Unlike the purchase of spiritual wood, etc., you can still delay the payment for a while and wait until the end of next year to settle the payment.
The auspicious beads cost 1.8 million, and the Chai Lun team’s pre-processing fee amounted to 1 million. In addition to the miscellaneous expenses for various other materials, the 5.8 million start-up capital in Feitian Talisman Factory’s account was no longer enough to cover the full cost of the chip.
payment.
Chen Mobai lamented that he didn't have enough money, and the things from Butian Taoist Temple were too expensive.
But even so, it is already at a discount, and it can only be purchased through Lou Fengcheng's matchmaking.
These most sophisticated technologies of the Immortal Sect have always been in the hands of Butian Taoist Academy. If the Immortal Sect had not suppressed them, the prices would have been even more outrageous.
Chai Lun had already given face to the production fee and paid it in installments. Since this was the first time for us to cooperate with each other and it was introduced by Chai Lun, Chen Mobai did not default on the purchase of various materials in order to avoid making things difficult for the senior.
There was no other way but to activate the backup fund plan. He once again approached the Xianmen Bank in Danxia City and mortgaged his Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.
Of course, the ownership is only mortgaged, and the right to use it is still in Chen Mobai's hands.
In other words, although Xianmen Bank gave the good deeds to Chen Mobai, it did not occupy the magic weapon. Chen Mobai still used it himself.
But if one day the interest cannot be paid, or the loan cannot be repaid, then the bank will exercise its ownership and ask the Xianmen Zhengfa Palace to enforce the law and take the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror away from Chen Mobai.
This is also the most common mortgage loan in Xianmen.
If it weren't for the fact that this magical artifact had an innocent origin and had a clear connection in the Immortal Sect, so that it could be strictly investigated by the bank, Chen Mobai would have wanted to mortgage the flying bird hairpin, gold and jade axe, etc.
However, although Chen Mobai owns the Six-Yang Divine Fire Mirror, after his death, according to the law, the ownership of this magical weapon still belongs to Wuqi Taoist Academy, which means that he only has half ownership.
Therefore, when you take it to Xianmen Bank for mortgage, you need a consent statement from Wuqi Taoist Temple.
Chen Mobai had told Che Yucheng about this matter a long time ago. The latter heard that it was because there was insufficient funds to build a puppet factory, so he hesitated but approved it.
That is Chen Mobai. If it were the other people in the Taoist Academy, Che Yucheng would definitely not be so easy to talk to.
Half of the ownership of the Liuyang Divine Fire Mirror was mortgaged with Xianmen Bank for 13.5 million for good deeds.
Chen Mobai, who was in debt, felt relaxed. He took this huge sum of money and planned to go to Xixuan Cave in person to settle the chip matter.
"Senior Lou, I am Chen Mobai. I have booked a flight ticket to Xixuan Cave Heaven the day after tomorrow. I want to thank you personally for your help..."
Lou Fengcheng, who was drinking tea, answered the phone and heard Chen Mobai's words from the other side. He choked on a sip of tea. Suddenly he felt like there were ants crawling all over his body. He couldn't help but tremble and coughed violently.
"Well, I haven't been feeling well lately. I've caught a cold wind, so I might not be able to receive you. There's no need to thank you..."
Lou Fengcheng immediately rejected Chen Mobai's offer to come over and thank him for his help in person, and then patted his chest and promised that as long as Chen Mobai completed his good deeds, Butian Chip will make every effort to arrange the production, and in the shortest possible time
Ship it to him within 12 days.
"That's it, that's alright. Next time, if Senior Lou comes to Chicheng Cave or Danxia City, remember to call me and I'll treat you to a nice meal."
【But screw you, I never want to see you again in my life.】
After hanging up the phone from Chen Mobai, Lou Fengcheng immediately ran to the chip factory in a hurry.
