Otherworld Management Manual

Zhang Feng thought that the blacksmith Lan Qingyi was talking about was a muscular, slovenly uncle who wielded a big hammer and forged iron.

"Why, little brother seems surprised?"

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with a pot belly and a greasy hair, looked at Zhang Feng and said with a smile.

"Uh...you are a little different from what I imagined."

Zhang Feng scratched his head.

"Haha, it's the age of machines now, and those of us blacksmiths have to keep pace with the times! Let's get to know each other formally, my name is Shen Zheng."

"Hello, my name is Zhang Feng."

"Come on, please!"

Shen Zheng beckoned, and Zhang Feng followed him into a not-so-small factory building.

Lan Qingyi took Zhang Feng back here, and Zhang Feng quickly felt that this girl didn't like to talk very much.

As soon as he entered the factory, Zhang Feng heard the sound of humming machines.

There are many machines in the factory, but only a few machines are in operation. You can see some iron bars of sword models being processed in the machines. It didn't take long for a brand new sword to come out.

Zhang Feng was very interested in these things. Seeing a long iron block being processed into a real sword in a short period of time, he felt an inexplicable sense of refreshment, which was a bit similar to decompression videos on the Internet.

But Zhang Feng found a problem.

"I see that you have a lot of machines, why don't you turn them all on?"

Now only a few machines have been activated. Although the swords are produced quickly, the quantity is not large. Thinking about this kind of thing, shouldn't the more you make, the more money you make?

"It's useless to open too much! Because we only have so many orders, if the machine is opened too much, the manufacturing output will be excessive, and the backlog will trap our funds! And there is no need to open such a product. There are so many machines, these few are completely enough!"

Shen Zheng smiled wryly. If he really made money, he couldn't just leave the machines here to eat ashes. He planned to see if he could sell those useless machines during this period of time. Otherwise, he would leave them for another day. Just a day's worth of money.

Zhang Feng heard two pieces of information from this passage.

There are few orders in Shen Zheng's factory!

These swords are all appearances!

"I see that there are a lot of sword crafts selling this kind of craft on the Internet. There shouldn't be fewer orders, right?"

Zhang Feng asked out the doubts in his heart.

"Hey, you have seen this too. As long as you have a few machines, you can make a handicraft sword like this. The cost is not much. Many small workshops can make it, and their price is still cheap. Since we have opened up many markets, our orders have naturally decreased a lot. For things like this, as long as they look good, they don’t require quality, so whoever is cheap will definitely buy them!”

Listening to Shen Zheng's complaints, Zhang Feng felt that although he looked glamorous, it seemed that his business was not going well.

But these are not what Zhang Feng cares about, what he cares about is the second information.

"Just now, I heard from you that these swords are fake? What are fakes? Are there real ones?"

Hearing Zhang Feng's words, Shen Zheng laughed loudly and said:

"That's right, these things, including those sold in the world, whether they are fronted or not, are almost all fake goods. They look very powerful, but in fact they can be broken with a single cut! As for the real ones, of course I will Yes, but..."

Seeing the other party's trickery, Zhang Feng said directly without any ink marks:

"Brother, let me just say it straight. I bought it today. It's this kind of real thing. If you have one, you might as well take it out and have a look. The price is good!"

Shen Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard that Zhang Feng's price was easy to negotiate.

"plz follow me."

The two came to an office, which should belong to Shen Zheng himself. In addition to the table and the boss's chair, there were all kinds of sheathed swords hanging on the wall, some were extremely gorgeous, and some were very simple.

Shen Zheng casually picked up a handful,

Then he brought a wooden stick as thick as an arm from the corner.

"Here, little brother, you take this."

Zhang Feng took the stick.

Bass~

With a soft groan, Shen Zheng drew his sword.

Click!

Zhang Feng only felt that when Shen Zheng waved it casually, the thick wooden stick with his arm broke!

"This... so sharp!"

Looking at the neat cuts, Zhang Feng couldn't believe it. He had seen Marlowe Knights train, but Marlowe Knights' silver knight swords definitely didn't have such power.

"Haha, how is it? It's sharp, but don't be too surprised, after all, I'm not weak."

Shen Zheng smiled proudly.

"sharp!"

Zhang Feng gave a thumbs up, and then said with some puzzlement:

"Your sword is so sharp, it should sell well, how could there be no business?"

"You are wrong. My sword is sharp, but the cost is also high. The material alone is not comparable to ordinary swords, not to mention the processing fee and labor cost. If you think about those COS or something, you can directly buy it on Baotao It is enough to buy handicraft swords produced by those small workshops online, and those who want to buy swords for collection, they are not short of money, but they all buy branded and inherited ones, such as Longquan. History, but a small workshop..."

Shen Zheng shrugged.

Zhang Feng understood now. To put it simply, the swords and swords produced by Shen Zheng's factory are of good material and good technology, but because they are not well-known, they are a bit too high or too low. .

"How much does a sword like this cost?"

Zhang Feng pointed to the sword in Shen Zheng's hand.

"The price is more than three thousand."

Shen Zheng put the sword back into its sheath and handed it to Zhang Feng.

Bass~

Zhang Feng pulled it out and took a closer look. The scabbard is very gorgeous, but the blade doesn't have those so-called patterns or anything, it's even dark, but the blade flashes cold light from time to time, letting people know that this The sword is not easy to mess with.

"More than three thousand, it doesn't seem expensive!"

Zhang Feng felt that he could take the price of more than 3,000 yuan and give it to his knights in return, so that they could try whether this sword or their knight sword was stronger.

"Not expensive? You think so, but other people don't think so! People spend two or three hundred online to buy a sword that looks much better than this, isn't it good? And in modern society, what's the use of sharp swords? You are a man! The working machines you just saw were bought by me later, just to make cheap handicraft swords, and those handicrafts sell much better than my swords!"

Hearing Shen Zheng's explanation, Zhang Feng finally understood that he wanted to go wrong.

I may think that the sharper the better, but others have no choice but to start.

"That was quite uncomfortable!"

Zhang Feng sympathized with Shen Zheng very much. He obviously had such a good sword, but he couldn't sell it. However, the casually made handicraft sword was very popular.

"Hey, to tell you the truth, I've been asking someone for the past two days to see if anyone has bought these machines, to see if I can sell them, or sell them together with the factory. I'm going to change careers!"

"Changing jobs?"

Zhang Feng's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he asked:

"I've always wondered, is your sharp sword made by a machine? Shouldn't a powerful sword be handmade?"

"You're right, you're not right, or it's not accurate. Handmade swords are really good, but this is more reflected in the collection, especially the swords made by masters. Many collectors snap up them, but In terms of actual combat, I think the machine processing is not bad, even much stronger, after all, modern technology and composite materials are still very powerful, of course, this machine is not an ordinary machine."

Hearing Shen Zheng's explanation, Zhang Feng was enlightened, no wonder those masters' works are so expensive, but for Zhang Feng, practicality is the most important thing compared to collection value.

"Hey, I've said so much, it's a bit of a complaint, little brother, don't mind, I heard that you want to order a batch of swords, what kind of swords do you want? Is it good-looking, or practical, or is it both practical and good-looking?"

Shen Zheng asked curiously, no matter what happens in the future, if you can make a fortune now, you can make a fortune first.

"Don't be in a hurry, I may ask, how much do you plan to transfer this sword processing factory?"
