silent farm

Chapter 142 Buy some small things first
This time, Chen Bo didn't pick him up at the airport because he was out of town.Li Sheng also rejected his arrangement to have someone pick him up.Although he is abroad, he is not a person who has been away for a long time, and he has not yet reached the point where he needs someone to guide him back home.

He got off the plane, took a taxi to the hotel he had booked in advance and settled down.He saw that there was nothing left and right, so he went to the bow and crossbow making workshop that Chen Bo took him to last time.President Rong is in the workshop.Seeing him coming, the other party recognized him immediately.

"Mr. Li, welcome! I haven't seen you for a long time. It's okay to use that bow." Mr. Rong shook hands with him with a warm smile.

Li Sheng didn't come here to find fault, and he couldn't bear his enthusiasm. He said, "That bow is very useful. This time I came here to buy some more short bows and bows and arrows."

"Okay, okay." Boss Rong certainly welcomes business visits. "I don't know what kind of bow Mr. Li wants this time, and how much?"

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "I plan to ask for fifty ordinary short bows. In addition, I want thirty thousand ordinary arrows."

This is a big order, Mr. Rong smiled more happily, and said: "We can't produce fifty bows for the time being, and we don't have that many arrows for the time being. But as long as we give it a few days, we can make enough quantity." Although his bow is made of plastic steel with strong elasticity, it can still be used for decades.His business is mainly to develop new customers.Or old customers come to order.As for Li Sheng, an old customer, wouldn't he just come to the door?

Now Li Sheng wants so many ordinary bows and [-] arrows all at once, which is definitely a big deal.Such a list, of course, should be prioritized.

Li Sheng can wait for a few days.He said: "As long as the time does not exceed ten days, there is no problem."

"Okay. How about we sign an agreement first." President Rong was very enthusiastic, but business is business.
Li Sheng signed the contract and paid a deposit of 680% of the purchase price.Mr. Rong finally put away the agreement with satisfaction.He seemed to remember it suddenly: "By the way, Mr. Li, I have made another strong bow here. The tensile force of the mechanical test exceeds [-] kilograms. No one has been able to draw it so far. You have extraordinary strength. Do you want to try it?" one time?"

Li Sheng blinked and said with a smile: "Boss Rong, are you going to hold a prize-giving event? Is there a prize if you pull it away?"

"Haha~" President Rong said with a smile. "Mr. Li, you are joking. Any award is an insult to you successful people. How dare I do that?"

Li Sheng also laughed and said, "I'm not a successful person. But I'm interested in the bow." For the challenge, even a man can't help being strong.Li Sheng may be very introverted sometimes, but in fact, men who are boring are more competitive.

President Rong saw that he was willing to try, so he led him into the inner room.

He took out the bow and handed it to Li Sheng.The bow arm of this bow is wider and thicker than the one Li Sheng has in hand, and of course it is heavier to hold.And this one is different from the one he bought before. It is not a folding bow. The bow body of about 1.2 meters is made of metal, and there is no outer skin wrapping.

Mr. Rong saw him looking at the bow, and introduced: "I finally got the material of the bow body of this bow. It is made of a kind of tank spring alloy remelted and forged. Although the performance has dropped a little. But because It is a single bow body, and the width and thickness of the bow body have increased, so the elasticity has increased a lot compared to the previous one. You can also see that this bow body is all metal, and the outside is plated with nickel to prevent rust. The pattern is non-slip."

Li Sheng held the bow and felt really good. Although it was a bit heavy, it was not a problem for him.

I heard Mr. Rong continue to say: "The bow string of this bow is also made of bridge steel cable with isinglass on the outside, with a diameter of 530mm. The arrows used in this bow are all specially made, with grooves at the back end. We have tested that this bow can reach a maximum shooting range of over 400 meters with heavy arrows, and over [-] meters with ordinary arrows."

Li Sheng didn't care about this range.Bows and arrows are not guns, arrows are too affected by the wind, the farther the range, the worse the accuracy.He is interested in this bow because its pulling force is strong enough, if you buy it back, even if you don't use it properly, it can still exercise your arm strength.

But he had to see if he could draw the bow first.He pinched the bowstring with his fingers and was about to pull it.

Mr. Rong quickly stopped him and said: "The bowstring is too elastic. You have to use this." He took out a glove as he spoke.The glove has a metal ring on the thumb and a piece of metal on the tip of the index finger.The other three fingers are exposed.

Li Sheng put on the gloves and found that there was a groove in the middle of the metal ring of the thumb. This design is quite good, and it just fits the bowstring.

Only then did he take a deep breath and draw the bow with all his strength.

He is also considered an experienced person, and he didn't pull the bow a little bit, nor did he think about pulling the bow away.This is not a recurve bow, but on the whole, it seems to adopt the standard of the horn bow. The wider the bow is opened, the greater the strength required.Li Sheng felt his face start to heat up, it was congestion.But he has pulled away most of it, how could he be willing to give up.With a soft drink, he concentrated all his strength on his arms.The bow was finally rounded by him.

He paused for about three seconds, released his two fingers, and the bowstring returned to its place with a shrill sound of breaking through the air.He shook his hand and asked: "This bow is not bad." The pulling force was really strong, and he was not prepared enough, so he almost couldn't draw it.Even if you pull it away, your hands are a little sore.

Boss Rong looked at him with a look of monsters in his eyes, with a high thumbs up, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

If Li Sheng is a strong man, he won't be surprised when he draws this bow.But Li Sheng looked like a frail scholar, and he pulled this bow in one go, which he thought ordinary people couldn't draw.He even wondered if this person was trained by the four great ancient martial arts families in the novel.

Li Sheng smiled and said, "Boss Rong, do you sell this bow?" Although the previous one was very suitable for him, it was quite easy to use.But this bow can exercise a person.

Mr. Rong smiled wryly and said, "Actually, you were right just now. I said that whoever draws the bow can take it away."

Hearing what he said, Li Sheng was not polite, and said with a smile: "Then I will be respectful."

However, he thought about the other party saying to use special arrows just now, so he couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Rong, you really know how to do business. Although you got the bow for nothing, the arrows are not cheap."

Mr. Rong laughed and said, "It's a little more expensive than ordinary arrows, but you get what you pay for."

Li Sheng had no other choice, since he needed to use a special arrow, if he didn't buy it, the bow would really only be used for arm strength training if he took it back.

"A heavy arrow costs 120, and an ordinary arrow costs [-]!" This is the price reported by Mr. Rong.

Li Sheng was taken aback: "That much more expensive than the previous one?"

"The arrow shaft is made of suitable materials, and the arrowhead is also made of new alloys. The arrow feathers are also made of new materials, with less wind resistance and better balance. This technology is also the latest. Therefore, the price is more expensive."

Li Sheng thought for a while and asked, "How many times can an arrow be used?"

"As long as you don't shoot hard things, such as stones and metals. Thirty times with heavy arrows should be no problem. Ordinary arrows can be shot about ten times."

In other words, it costs between four and eight yuan to shoot an arrow.It costs more than shooting a gun.

Li Sheng said: "Could it be cheaper, and I'm afraid it's impossible to shoot five thousand arrows with this bowstring."

"It can only be pulled two thousand times, and the steel wire will break."

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "Look at this, I want twenty bowstrings, two thousand heavy arrows, and ten thousand ordinary arrows, and you can give me a better price."

Boss Rong lowered his head, seemed to think for a while before raising his head and said, "I will give you the bowstring, and each type of arrow is ten yuan cheaper."

Li Sheng did some calculations, nodded and said, "Okay, let's follow this price. But when will it be done?"

"This will take about ten days."

Li Sheng hesitated, then lowered his voice and asked, "Mr. Rong, can you make a military crossbow?"

Mr. Rong was taken aback, and asked, "Do you still want that thing?" Military crossbows are powerful, light and compact, only used by special forces in the modern military, and the materials for making them are not easy to get. "There are imitations, but there are no real ones. But what do you want?"

Li Sheng said: "My farm has security guards, and if there are any, I would like to buy some equipment for them."

He didn't lie, he bought the military crossbow for the security team to use.But he didn't do it on a temporary basis. Although he didn't plan to expand the size of the security team, he also planned to give them more equipment.A military crossbow is indeed a pretty good piece of equipment, especially in the forest.If equipped with infrared glasses, at night in the rainforest, crossbow arrows are a silent weapon, perhaps more effective than firearms.

But since there is no one here, he also intends to insist: "If there is no one, forget it. I will just ask casually."

President Rong smiled and said, "Maybe I can get it. But it will take a few days to be sure."

He nodded and said, "Then trouble Mr. Rong!"

President Rong didn't continue this topic, but smiled and continued: "By the way, Mr. Li, do you have any special requirements for the style of those bows and arches? For example, what kind of patterns should be engraved."

Li Sheng bought those fifty bows mainly because he wanted to buy people's hearts.And he also had ideas of entertainment that enriched the farm.It's just that the idea has not yet been finalized.He thought about it and said: "Try to make it more beautiful. For example, make some reliefs and the like. Of course, it can't affect the practicality." These bows are likely to be used as prizes.

President Rong remembered his request and said, "I understand."

After discussing the business, Li Sheng left.Before he got back to the hotel, he received a call from Chen Bo: "You boy is awesome. You can play with Lao Rong's bow that can only be drawn with a machine."

"He called you?" Li Sheng didn't expect him to know so soon.

"Do you still need to make a phone call? He posted it on Moments, and most people who play bows in Lingang know about it."

Li Sheng didn't expect Mr. Rong to be so impatient, he just turned around and reported the matter as news.He didn't want to talk about it again, and asked, "Can you come back today?"

"Waiting for the flight at the airport. It will take about three hours."

"Call me back." Li Sheng came back this time because he had something to discuss with him.

"Of course. By the way, you still want to recruit this time when you come back? Do you want me to help you get in touch?"

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "We'll talk about it when you come back." He did want to recruit people, but he mainly recruited professionals with agricultural skills.And he is more inclined to recruit those who can endure loneliness. Of course, it would be the best if fresh graduates can be recruited in colleges.

It's just that he is not very optimistic. How many young people are willing to work in a place where they don't see outsiders all year round?
