Comprehensive Martial Arts: Start Making Peacock Feathers

Chapter 43 Pendulum Clock Business

"Fengtong? What are you doing? What kind of sword is this? It looks gorgeous."

There are a lot of things today. Qiu Fengtong just sent the autumn order here, and Qiu Fengwu just happened to pass by. Seeing Qiu Fengtong holding a sword in one hand and a box in the other, he couldn't help but come over curiously.

"It's Dage, come with me if you want to know."

Seeing Qiu Fengwu's curious look on the baby's face, Qiu Fengtong knew that if he didn't make it clear to him, he wouldn't give up. , open the box.

"Could it be..."

Qiu Fengwu's expression tightened when he saw the box full of parts, and he looked around before lowering his voice: "Could it be that Feng Tong, have you already made the peacock feathers?"

Qiu Fengtong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What do you think? How can I have that time? You can just watch."

This guy really knows how to associate, but when this thing is done, it is time to make the peacock feathers.

"Oh."

When Qiu Fengwu saw that it was not a peacock feather, he lost most of his interest immediately, but he did not leave immediately, but wanted to see what medicine was sold in Qiu Fengtong Calabash?

There are not many parts of the pendulum clock, the most important parts are only some springs and gears, which were quickly assembled under the skillful hands of Qiu Fengtong.

Wind up the mainspring, lift the pendulum clock, and the pendulum below immediately swings left and right, and at the same time, the stopwatch hands also "click" themselves.

"It's amazing."

Although Qiu Fengwu came from an aristocratic family, he was not the type to sit still, so naturally he had no interest in the technology of the machine. When he saw that the clock could move by himself, he immediately exclaimed in disbelief.

"It's nothing, it's just a very simple mechanism design."

Qiu Fengtong asked, "What time is it now?"

It's not that he's lazy, it's because his predecessor was too vague about the concept of time, and he didn't have an accurate timing tool. He couldn't watch the sky, so he could only ask Qiu Fengwu.

"About three minutes later."

Qiu Fengwu looked at the sun and estimated the time.

"That's about thirty to forty-five, maybe forty one."

After Qiu Fengtong finished speaking, he twisted the knob next to him to turn the hour hand to the one position and the minute hand to the eight position. Of course, since there are no Arabic numerals yet, Qiu Fengtong was too lazy to promote this thing, so he directly used the calculation. Chip numbers instead, it's almost the same anyway.

"This is……"

Qiu Fengwu was even more curious. Hearing what Qiu Fengtong meant, it seemed to be a timing tool, but he couldn't understand it.

"This is the clock I designed, and the usage is like this..."

Qiu Fengtong introduced the function of the clock in detail.

"God, I never thought that the agency would be so fun."

Qiu Fengwu can't wait to put his eyes on the dial, the desire in his eyes is about to flow out, and his tone is even more regretful that he didn't learn the tricks. If he knew that the tricks were so fun, he had to learn everything. a little.

Qiu Fengtong asked, "Then Dage, do you think Phoenix Villa will make money selling this stuff?"

"That's more than making money? That's the rhythm of making big money."

Qiu Fengwu has been in the market all the year round. Of course, he understands the importance of time, but there is no effective timekeeping method. Although there are sundials in this era, first of all, only large families can afford sundials. Second, sundials can only be used in the sun. It can only be used under light. Once it is night and rainy days, it becomes a decoration, which is very inconvenient.

But now Qiu Fengtong has invented a clock that can keep time without relying on the sun. It is conceivable how much impact this has on this era.

And he heard Qiu Fengtong say that the cost of this watch is not high, and the most expensive thing is only the mainspring and gears (this watch has no glass cover).

But even if you count these two, the counterfeiting of the entire clock will never exceed one or two silvers. This is because the outer shell of this clock is made of copper. If it is replaced by wood, the price will be even cheaper. It is estimated that it will not exceed 500 words...

The cost of five hundred pennies, even if it is sold ten times the price, it is only five taels of silver. This money is not an unaffordable price for many middle-class families, even ordinary families, gritted their teeth. Earn in a few months.

Although there are rich and poor countries in this world, they are not as extreme as the Ming and Song dynasties in the original world. After all, they belong to the same world, and money can circulate with each other. Even if the rich and the poor are uneven, the gap is limited... Of course Well, empires built by nomads outside the Great Wall do not count.

Therefore, if Phoenix Villa can launch this clock, it will definitely be popular all over the world soon, and it will definitely make a lot of money.

"However, Feng Tong, you can make money by inventing a clock, but you have to be careful of others imitating it."

Although the prospects for watches are endless, Qiu Fengwu also reminded Qiu Fengtong to be careful of others' imitations.

There is no patent law in this world, and the manufacture of clocks and watches is not difficult. Just hire an agency teacher and study it for a few days. Once the Phoenix Villa makes a lot of money, it will definitely attract the jealousy of other people, and it will be imitated at that time. Plagiarism is inevitable.

"About this, Dage, don't worry, I'm already prepared."

Qiu Fengtong has a plan in his mind, of course he has taken into account the issue of counterfeiting, but if the price of an item is lower than the production cost, will anyone still produce it?

The answer is of course not. Some people do the beheading business, and no one does the loss-making business. This principle applies everywhere.

And Qiu Fengtong just has the ability to make the production cost of watches and clocks lower than the manufacturing cost of others - for example, industrialization...

Qiu Fengtong has already planned to design production lines and molds. When he gets out the assembly line, the production efficiency of watches will be improved several times. At that time, those who imitate watches purely by hand will take the lead in price wars with him?

"Okay, as long as you have it in your heart."

Seeing that Qiu Fengtong was so confident, Qiu Fengwu didn't say anything.

Then he turned his attention to the Ben Lei Sword: "What's the matter with this sword? Isn't it the trump card you said?"

"Sure, Dage, please."

Qiu Fengtong pulled out the Ben Lei Sword with a brush. The sword body was clean and bright, and it was particularly dazzling under the reflection of sunlight. When it was unsheathed, it was accompanied by lightning flashes. Qiu Fengwu only felt that all the hairs on his body were attracted by the sword, and he instantly flourished. On-well, scientifically speaking, it's actually just electrostatic attraction.
