Soon, Li Qiuzhi and others were invited in.
Yuehai Pavilion is very large. Led by the secretaries, the two of them wandered around and finally met Tianquan Star Ningguang in a pavilion beside a small lake in a courtyard.
Please read, please vote, and recommend, thank you all for your support!
Chapter 337 Chamber of Commerce (Seeking follow-up reading)
"Hi, Ningguang!"
Hu Tao smiled and waved to Lord Tianquanxing, who was standing in the pavilion looking at the scenery of the lake.
"Haha, Hall Master Hu is still so energetic."
Ningguang casually tucked the platinum hair on the side of her face behind her ear, turned around to face the two of them, chuckled and said something to Hu Tao, then looked at Li Qiuzhi and smiled:
"So, Mr. Distinguished Citizen, are you here to talk to me about bicycles?"
"Well, Miss Ningguang, you should just call me by my name. Distinguished Citizen or something like that is a bit too high-profile."
Li Qiuzhi and Hu Tao walked into the wooden pavilion, and he looked a little embarrassed.
"Okay, Mr. Li Qiuzhi and Master Hu, please take a seat."
Ningguang smiled and invited the two to sit on the round stool next to the round wooden table in the middle of the pavilion. She picked up the teapot on the table and poured a few cups of tea.
"Yes, thank you." Li Qiuzhi took the tea without hesitation, then looked at Ningguang and answered the question, "Didn't you say last time that I would come to see you when I was free? So I came here today."
"Sure enough."
Ningguang lifted her fair right leg from under her cheongsam and placed it on her left leg. Her round and soft calf was squeezed slightly flat by her graceful knee.
We are all good friends.
She no longer hesitated and went straight to the point:
“Yes, Baiwen has submitted a detailed data report of the bicycle to me a few days ago.
"After testing, it was found that on a flat road, the average riding speed of a normal adult on that type of bicycle can reach 13 kilometers per hour.
“Accelerated riding can even reach 20 kilometers per hour in a short period of time, but of course this consumes a lot of physical energy.
"And on a dirt road in the wild"
Ningguang continued to talk about a lot of things like bicycle performance data, practicality survey reports, and market demand survey reports.
In general, it was pretty much what Li Qiuzhi thought.
The performance of bicycles seems to be much worse than those on Earth, especially on dirt roads where the normal speed is only ten kilometers per hour, which consumes a little more physical energy.
But this is normal, after all, the wheels of those bicycles are made of wood.
Not only is it very vibrating when riding at high speed, but its performance is certainly not as good as the bicycles on Earth that have gone through many iterations.
But even so, bicycles are an innovative existence in Liyue, which can greatly facilitate people's lives and are rated "extremely high" in practicality tests.
“So what about the cost of the bike?”
Li Qiuzhi thought for a moment and asked.
No matter how good or practical a bicycle is, it must have a suitable price to open up the market, like the one he and Ying asked Lao Zhang to make, which is the one in Hu Tao's hand now.
The total cost including labor and materials is as high as 150,000 Mora!
This price is a bit expensive for an ordinary bicycle, and I think the market will find it difficult to accept this price.
"The average cost of the batch of 'test vehicles' I had made is 90,000 Mora. Once we build a factory and start mass production, we estimate that the cost can be initially reduced to around 50,000."
Ningguang was very concerned about the bicycle matter, so she had been following up and was well aware of all the related matters.
Fifty thousand is only one-third of the price of Walnut's car. Although it is still very expensive, it is only a few days' salary for ordinary people.
You should be able to afford it if you grit your teeth.
Moreover, bicycles will be iterated in the future, or the production lines may be optimized to expand production capacity, so the price should be able to be reduced further.
If you think in this way, it can basically be produced and sold as a qualified product!
"So for this more practical product, how much Mora are you willing to spend to buy its design drawings, Miss Ningguang?"
Li Qiuzhi's value judgment of commercial products is definitely not as good as Ningguang's, and he also believes that Ningguang will not deceive him, so he just lets Ningguang make the offer.
"Haha, it's not wise to have so much trust in a businessman."
Ningguang leaned forward, lowered her raised right leg, and said with a chuckle.
"If it was another businessman, that might be true, but Ningguang, you are different. You give me the feeling that you are trustworthy."
Li Qiuzhi said with a smile.
Hearing his words praising Ningguang, Hu Tao, who was drinking tea by herself and couldn't get a word in, immediately showed a look of disgust. She must have some strange ideas about Ningguang.
Hu Tao has been with Li Qiuzhi for so long that she already knows him very well!
"Well, thank you for your trust."
Ningguang smiled and developed a slight liking for Li Qiuzhi.
[Ningguang develops a favorable impression of you, gaining 240 points of favorable impression. Current favorable impression level is Lv.5 (260/500)]
She thought for a while and said:
"In that case, I have two plans. The first one is to follow what you and Ying said before. I will directly invest in buying your design drawings. The price can be 500 million Mora. What do you think?"
"Five hundred million Moras. How many guests would it take for Wangsheng Hall to earn that much?"
Hu Tao widened her eyes in surprise. She didn't expect that Li Qiuzhi's bicycle design drawings were so valuable.
Li Qiuzhi nodded.
The price of 500 million Mora was indeed similar to what he had in mind. After all, he only provided a technology, and after Ningguang bought the technology back, she would have to hire someone to build a factory or something.
The cost is very high, and it is not easy to earn back the Mora spent.
However, although he was very satisfied with the price, he still had to ask Ying whether she was satisfied with the bicycle design drawings and her copy.
So Li Qiuzhi used the "beacon" to contact Ying, who was far away in the ocean, and briefly explained the situation.
"I don't care, it's up to you to decide."
Ying and Paimon were sitting on the side of the Death Star fishing. She believed that Li Qiuzhi could handle these things, so she just let him do it.
"Ok."
After Li Qiuzhi got the reply, he thought for a moment and said to Ningguang:
"Ying and I discussed this and both felt that this price was very good, even a little beyond our expectations. We have no problem selling bicycle technology at this price.
"However, I just heard from Miss Ningguang that you have a second plan. I'm a little curious. Can you tell me about it?"
Although Li Qiuzhi was satisfied with the price, he did not make a decision immediately.
After all, Ningguang said she had two plans. The first one was actually what he and Ying had originally thought of. Just sell the bicycle blueprint, take the money and don't have to worry about anything else.
The second option is Ningguang’s own idea.
And since she has come up with a new plan, it's no surprise that she hopes to use the second plan.
In this case, Li Qiuzhi naturally had to give face and ask, otherwise it would be too arrogant.
"Well, of course." Ningguang's scarlet eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised to outline an elegant and charming smile on her fair face, "In fact, I want to form a new chamber of commerce with you."
Please read, please vote, and recommend, thank you all for your support!
Chapter 338 Chess and Cards (Two in One)
In the afternoon.
The not-too-hot autumn sun shines on the clear lake surface, evaporating a few water molecules that are invisible to the naked eye.
Gentle breezes swept across the lake, carrying the water vapor through the pavilion, adding a slightly cooler feeling to the surroundings.
Li Qiuzhi drank a sip of the unknown tea which was a little astringent and plain but left a lingering aftertaste. However, since it was used by Ningguang to entertain guests, it must be very precious.
As the tea flowed down his throat, doubts began to arise in his heart. He felt somewhat puzzled after hearing what Ningguang said:
"Establish a Chamber of Commerce? Uh. Why do we need to establish a Chamber of Commerce?"
Li Qiuzhi was a little confused at first, but then he made some guesses.
Could it be that Ningguang felt that if they directly used 500 million Mora to buy out the bicycle technology, they might suffer a loss, so they decided to form a guild of commerce to jointly operate the business and then share the profits?
But in this case, it will not be possible to earn 500 million Mora in a short period of time.
Moreover, managing a chamber of commerce is probably similar to running a company on Earth. It would probably be very troublesome, and there would be a lot of things to do.
"I think you may have guessed it. The purpose of establishing a new chamber of commerce is to mainly deal in bicycles."
Ningguang looked at Li Qiuzhi's thoughtful expression and said with a smile.
"But I don't want to manage a chamber of commerce or anything like that," Li Qiuzhi explained his difficulties.
"I can see that you are not someone who likes such trivial matters. The reason I want to form a chamber of commerce with you is not just for bicycles, but because I see business opportunities in you and Ying."
Ningguang, wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, elegantly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Oh? You mean."
Could it be that Ningguang is attracted to other alien technologies that Ying and I have besides the bicycles?
Otherwise, apart from this, what other business opportunities would they have?
All I can say is that Ningguang is worthy of her name. As a big businessman, she has a keen vision. No matter how much money a bicycle can make, it is just a product. However, Li Qiuzhi has many insights of another civilization in his mind.
Ying has traveled to many worlds and seen more civilizations.
Their knowledge and experience that are different from those of Teyvat are more valuable assets, and they are inexhaustible!
"Yes, I want to cooperate with you. If you and Ying don't want to participate in the business of the Chamber of Commerce, you can just be responsible for providing knowledge, technology or ideas. Everything else can be left to me."
Ningguang briefly stated her thoughts.
Li Qiuzhi thought about it seriously. If this was the arrangement, it would be good and would not interfere with his daily experience points or interactions with girls.
Just reproduce various products that are not available in Teyvat when you have time.
"Well, this way of cooperation is indeed good. Then how much of the Chamber of Commerce's shares do Ying and I own?"
Li Qiuzhi nodded.
Since he thought it was good, he didn't try to be mysterious. He would agree as long as the Mora he got in the end was suitable!
"Haha, I've always believed that the business world is a battlefield, with a lot of deceptions and suspicions. For the sake of profit, no matter what we discuss, we have to make it difficult.
"They would come up with all sorts of ridiculous excuses, such as there are old people and children at home, this is not allowed, that is not allowed.
"It's rare to see Mr. Li Qiuzhi so cheerful."
A smile appeared on Ningguang's fair face, and she felt even better about Li Qiuzhi.
[Ningguang develops a favorable impression of you, gaining 220 points of favorable impression. Current favorable impression level is Lv.5 (480/500)]
What kind of pleasure? He just didn't understand these things. Anyway, based on his understanding of Ningguang, she was a person with a lofty vision and would definitely not do such a shameful thing as deceiving herself for a little benefit.
In that case, it would be better to show that you trust her completely, so that you can win her favor.
When the favorability level is higher, maybe Li Qiuzhi will hug her legs and say - Sister Ningguang, I don't want to work hard anymore.
Ugh, how could I have such a depraved thought.
Li Qiuzhi quickly shook it off from his mind. One still has to rely on himself and make a little effort.
"Well, since you said so, I'll be straightforward.
“If you only provide technical knowledge and do not participate in other work of the Chamber of Commerce, then you can own 30% of the shares of this Chamber of Commerce.
"If we participate more deeply in the operation and management of the Chamber of Commerce, this number can be increased to 50%. What do you think?"
Ningguang thought about it for a moment and then expressed her idea of having a plan in place.
Li Qiuzhi thought about it and felt that this share ratio was quite reasonable. It could be said that Ningguang was taking good care of them.
After all, they only provided technical knowledge, and Ningguang was responsible for establishing the Chamber of Commerce and various future production matters, so she naturally had to take more.
Even the initial funding for the Chamber of Commerce was provided by Ningguang.
