After parking the car, many young people were already watching. The main reason is that the engine and exhaust sounds of this car are too obvious on such a quiet night, which of course arouses everyone's curiosity.

Turn off the ignition and get out of the car. But the three passengers in the car, as if they didn't realize it, still clung to the part of the car that they could grab, until Ruan Wenyue's brother ran up to express concern. One sentence: "Brother, are you okay." The three people who returned to their souls remembered to get out of the car.

Because he didn't intend to turn tonight into a driving class, Lin tactfully declined everyone's request to test drive or go for a drive. Instead, he directed the waiters to bring the few who were blown by the cold wind into the house to warm up the fire and drink some warm tea.

Fortunately, the three of them are all in good health, and after this wind blowing, there should be nothing wrong with them. The two magicians in the combat unit had nothing to say, and even Ruan Wenyue, who was a businessman, was also a strong fighter in Lin's observation. I dare not ask him to fight on the front line, but it should not be a problem to protect myself in the face of emergencies, let alone just blowing the wind.

As for himself, Lin was not worried at all. Knowing what kind of situation you will face, how can you not prepare in advance. An apprentice-level magic of the Wind Barrier can easily straighten out the changes in the airflow around him, allowing the cold wind to automatically avoid him. This is to control the airflow around him, and attack the arrow-like flying props to the biased magic. The cold wind is nothing.

Back to the small salon where we were talking, the old deacon who had been following Ruan Wenyue invited out the young people who had followed him. And the three elderly people who had eaten a stomach full of cold wind, after a few cups of hot tea, let out a heavy breath, and their eyes gradually recovered. At this moment, they seemed to come back to their senses, and they opened their mouths with a series of questions.

It can be said that Lin answered every question in detail, and even put forward some observation data from the carriage as evidence. In addition to the detailed design structure and parameters not given, other problems whether normal or not, such as whether it can go to the sea, whether it can jump, whether it can be installed on the house, and the whole house can be dragged and run. Lin Du answered them one by one.

But Ruan Wenyue is worthy of being a businessman. After a series of technical and cranky questions, he immediately turned the topic back to the main point. Q: "Lord Tripwood, can you disclose how much such a car would cost to manufacture?"

"Not counting the cost of labor and design, but just looking at the cost of materials. Although I didn't calculate it carefully, it should break through Xbar Kiel (10,000 gold)."

Someone's unabashed answer immediately dimmed everyone's bright eyes. Ten thousand gold is definitely not an expense that an ordinary person can afford, even a big merchant or aristocrat may not necessarily pay the bill.

After all, the lost luxury car culture has not yet emerged, and no one will blindly pursue more luxurious, faster and rarer cars. Not to mention that after the car is bought, there are various fuels, consumables and maintenance.

Of course, if you use some means to package it, you can still fool a fool into spending a lot of money, but it is meaningless to do so. The positioning of this thing should not be a boutique route, but to be popular, it is best to rot the streets, completely change the lives of people who are lost, and go deep into it.

So in the face of everyone's disappointment, Lin smiled and said: "Don't say that you think it is expensive, even I think the price is very expensive. But this is just a prototype car to verify the structure is feasible, not a vehicle that will eventually become a commercial product .”

"Oh, what's the difference?" Ruan Wenyue asked.

"This prototype car is all made of magic metal, this is to facilitate the use of magic shaping to change the structure of the parts, and when it is confirmed that the structure of a certain part is incorrect or unnecessary, it can be quickly restored to a metal ingot , reuse, that’s all. The two major features of magic metals are that they can add magic effects, and the metal’s strength is much higher than that of ordinary metals. But in the structure of this car, there are almost no places that need to add magic effects, and The problem of metal strength can also be solved by smelting technology. That is to say, more than 99% of the structure can be replaced with ordinary metal, or even wood or other lighter ordinary materials. I predict that it will eventually become a commodity It should be able to reduce the cost of materials to XXX Kil (30 gold). The price is set at C Kil (100 gold). I think the number of people who can accept this price will increase a lot.”

This number is not someone's nonsense. The birth of this prototype car, of course, made Lin see many shortcomings, and it was the kind that couldn't be replaced by using magic materials. And the most important of these deficiencies are the tires.

The test just now made Lin understand that the grip of the existing tires is far from enough. In this case, in addition to finding ways to improve the tire formula, the easiest way is to reduce the speed limit, that is, to replace the engine with a smaller horsepower, so as to prevent the vehicle from losing control due to excessive speed in some extreme environments. , resulting in an accident.

Small horsepower means that there can be methods that do not require material strength, that is, engine materials may not be made of magic metal. Coupled with the sealing of the rubber, the engine performance is also improved. Once you come and go, the cost will be reduced.

Lin even intends to introduce materials science in Midi, replacing magical metals with alloys. After all, if a vehicle is a pure fuel engine, it has nothing to do with magic at all. It would be a waste to insist on using magic metal and only take its material strength.

Even if it is a hybrid engine, the places where magic circles need to be drawn are limited, and most of the car body can still be made of ordinary metal. Not to mention the general type of car, there is no need for the whole body to be a few centimeters thick steel plate. Some unimportant places can be covered with a thin layer of iron sheet. Even cheaper materials can be considered. Therefore, it is possible to lower the price to thirty gold.

In addition to the renewed splendor in the eyes of several people, there is also a bit of inexplicable and unclear taste. The well-acquainted Dharma sage hooked someone's shoulder again, and said, "Boy, you can do it. You are going to sell XXX Keel's stuff. Are you selling other things in the same way?"

Fasheng Babak? Abnahan suddenly thought of whether other products related to this man were sold at such a high price. Immediately, he became upset, and planned to get some back from the other party's wallet.

Lin wryly smiled and said: "Your Excellency Fasheng, what I calculate is only the material cost, not including the design cost and the manufacturer's remuneration. You can't ask these people to work for nothing. What price do you get for iron ore? Just ask for processed products. It's the same price too."

But what Ruan Wenyue thought about was another matter. He asked: "Your Excellency, since this industry is profitable, why didn't you choose to cooperate with the great magician Kabanbai? Instead, you are willing to take it out and cooperate with me."

Not only did he want to know this question, but even the two magicians next to him also wanted to know. Although Midi doesn't have the phrase "the one who is close to the water and the platform first gets the moon", this kind of reasoning still makes sense.

The answer to this question is not hard to imagine. Lin said directly: "Because the direction is different. If today I want to build this car to run faster, push a heavier carriage, make it bigger, or make it smaller, or add some If there are special functions, then of course I will cooperate with President Kabanbai. But today, my idea is to manufacture this car at a cheaper cost, according to the needs of customers, that is, users, and as little as possible. Using magic, but finding a way that ordinary craftsmen can also use to build this car, then I think a businessman who understands the needs of customers will be a better partner than a great magician."

This principle is so simple that the few people present can understand it as soon as they hear it. After experiencing the speed of the vehicle, they will of course have some ideas. However, these ideas, just like what the magician in front of him said, what the saint Babak Abnahan and the great magician Attila were thinking about was how to make the car faster; as a businessman, Ruan Wenyue was thinking, How to get it at a cheaper cost.

This is not to say that cutting corners is all businessmen think about all day long. Facing the same product, it is the nature of a businessman to produce more at a cheaper cost. The difference lies in who gets the benefit after the cost falls.

If the businessman is ignorant, the things he sells are shoddy. Of course, such behavior is not advisable. But if the cost drops, the selling price will also drop, and clearly tell others the difference between before and after. Emphasize that you get what you pay for, so that buyers can choose the product level according to their own situation. Such an act, how can it be said that the businessman made a mistake.

Simply put, the high-end market must be occupied, and the low-end market must also be occupied. For real businessmen, the more the better, of course. And this kind of pursuit is exactly what a high-ranking person like the great magician Kabanbai will not care about~www.wuxiamtl.com~ After listening to this magician's thoughts, Ruan Wenyue also understands his role positioning. Facing this opportunity that seemed to have a good chance of winning, he already had an idea in his mind. It's just that there is another question that needs to be asked clearly. "If we cooperate, what do you want my family to do?" After all, it is a business that has never existed before. So how to cooperate, to be honest, he is still a little at a loss.

"Hehe, several of you have already experienced the success of the prototype car. And this also proves that the structure of the vehicle is feasible. Then, the next step is to continue to experiment and explore. To use ordinary metals to manufacture cars, in addition to In addition to the formula of alloy materials, it is the manufacturing process. How to make gears, how to make steel plates with curved arcs, these parts production methods that cannot directly use magic shaping, are the key points that require Mr. Ruan's cooperation."

Speaking of this, Lin still maintained his original sad face, and said: "That is to say, don't look at my car that costs XXX Kiel, but sell it to C Kiel. It doesn't take into account that it will cost R&D time and wages. It’s not out of the question to lose money if the final product doesn’t sell enough.”
