Arrived last night? It should be delivered to my manor today at the earliest, tomorrow at the latest... Audrey looked sideways at Susie who was struggling with snacks, and said with a faint smile, "Susie, the gift I prepared for you is coming soon." .�

"Woof?" Susie looked at the hostess in confusion.

Jingle!

Klein rode the bicycle that Leppard had just completed and spun around the lawn behind his house a few times.

"It's not bad, as I expected, but there is no need to have a separate rattle. When encountering a situation, it is difficult for the rider to pull out his hand. You can combine the bell with the handlebar, which is more convenient, concise and more in line with things. The law of development." Klein squeezed the brake with his right hand, causing the bicycle to slow down quickly and stop.

At the same time, he returned the rattle held in his left hand to its original position.

Reppard pondered for a few seconds and said: "Yes, it should be like this. I just imitated the carriage bell, forgetting that we are a brand new means of transportation."

Having said that, he watched Klein skillfully get off the bike with some doubts, and fixed the bracket: "You give me the feeling that you have ridden a similar vehicle before, and you rode it very well...I'm sure that there is All other bicycles have major flaws, which are obviously different from mine."

Learn about shared bicycles... As a "clown", I should actually ride a unicycle... Klein complained silently, and smiled slightly: "This has nothing to do with experience, excellent balance and athletic ability are the key.

He immediately changed the topic: "But according to your introduction just now, the cost is quite high, and there is no small contradiction with the positioning of our products. You must come up with a plan as soon as possible to reduce the cost. You must know that nobles, rich people, etc. have status. The upper class would certainly not choose to ride their own bikes, it would be disrespectful, and the same goes for the middle class earning over �300 a year."

"Our target is small employees, postmen, and the so-called working aristocracy, that is, the class with an annual income between 70 and 300 pounds."

"This is just a 'prototype'. Well, the vocabulary invented by Emperor Roselle is normal. If the follow-up factory process goes well, I don't think it will be a problem to reduce it to less than 6 pounds. If we can find cheap materials that can replace natural rubber , that would be even better, this is the most expensive part." Repard replied thoughtfully.

It's a pity that oil has not been discovered in this world... I don't know if there is any... Can refined coal tar replace it and play some role in this regard? I don't understand at all. I'm neither a student of this field nor a generalist... Klein thought for a while and said, "If the cost can be kept below 4 pounds, then we will be rich. As for the cheap replacement of natural rubber For materials, you can look through Roselle�s manuscript, maybe he has recorded some ideas.�

Reppard gave a soft "hmm", and suddenly said: "Speaking of this matter, I just thought that next week there will be a commemorative exhibition of Emperor Roselle, which is in the Kingdom Museum! It is hosted by the Church of Steam and Machinery, and it is said that there will be There are the original invention manuscripts and various relics of Emperor Roselle."

Invention manuscripts and various relics? Klein's heart skipped a beat when he heard it, and he immediately asked, "What time is it? I'm very interested."

"From next Tuesday to next Friday, from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm every day, although Emperor Roselle was once an enemy of the kingdom, the charm of his legendary life will not be weakened a bit because of this."

"I'll take time to see this exhibition." Klein took out his bulging wallet and took out two 10-pound and two 5-pound banknotes, "This is the second installment of money, you use it to study how to reduce the cost, and go to the patent office to make the most complete application. If you don�t have a familiar lawyer, I can introduce one. The last 20 pounds will be given to you next week to find new investors and complete the factory of the product. Of course , I will also help to contact those who are interested.�

He never thought about monopolizing the profits of bicycles. Firstly, he lacked the money for large-scale production. Secondly, he thought that he did not have enough contacts in the three parts of the factory, promotion and sales. He was reluctant to do it by himself or hire someone to do it. It was time-consuming and labor-intensive. , and may even lose money. In this case, it is better to introduce new investors with similar resources and channels, and let professional people do professional things.

In addition, the more important point is that in this way, he has the opportunity to realize a certain amount of shares in advance, and accumulate some cash for the resources needed to promote the "faceless man" in the future, so as not to encounter but have no money to buy.

And I never thought about being a bicycle tycoon. My identity is sensitive. Before I become a "faceless man", I have to stay away from things that may become the focus of society... I will play a "magician", not a "businessman" and " Factory owner"... Klein sighed a few words in his heart.

"I know several solicitors." Repard muttered, and took over the second phase of investment, "Why don't you go to the bank to apply for a loan? After we get the patent, I believe there must be a bank that will lend us money, such as Baker Rand banks, like Bavatbank."

"We introduced not only investment, but also channels, relationships and capabilities, understand?" Klein explained with a smile, then put on his hat and said, "When the patent is applied, send me a letter, you know My address."

In the Sunya Sea, there is an island with an extinct volcano.

Ships with masts erected and sails sailed one after another, crowding the not-so-small pier.

The pirates' songs, roars, laughter, cursing, and cheers are endless, making this place seem like a sea of ??carnival.

"The Hanged Man" Alger Wilson stepped off the "Blue Avenger", boarded the cliff not far away, and watched all this quietly.

"Except for the four kings and the seven generals, the other pirates only got the news of this grand event a week ago, and most of them couldn't make it at all. This is also to prepare for the surprise attack by the powerful from the navies of various countries and the major churches." Alger He watched the pirates unfocusedly bring out barrels of ale.

He knew that the Kingdom of Loen already had an epoch-making ironclad ship, but he was not worried that he would encounter it here, because it had only been four months, and the invincible fleet in the propaganda still needed more ironclad ships, requiring the cooperation of different types of ships. , It is necessary to train officers, sailors and gunners. Without more than a year of work, it is impossible to form a real combat power.

Just when Alger's thoughts were distracted, the pirates on the ship and the pier suddenly let out exclamations of alarm. Some rushed to the depths of the island, and some hurriedly steered the ship away from the pier, as if they were avoiding demons and plagues. JrNovels.com
