Chapter 58 Iron Research Institute
“Boy, what is your purpose?”
Yuan Blacksmith was confused by Quan Yi and could only ask Quan Yi directly about his purpose.
"Tiejiang Yuan, our Quan family plans to buy this shop and set up a research institute specializing in ironware here. Moreover, we are also looking for skilled craftsmen from all over the world to join the institute, and Tiejiang Yuan is Our goal. "
In this world, the status of blacksmiths is very low. Because of the existence of martial arts, people have very little demand for iron tools.
Most people in Douluo Continent are the owners of weapon souls. The convenience of martial souls reduces people's demand for iron weapons.
With reduced demand, there will be no strong motivation for development, so blacksmithing will inevitably become a low-level profession.
Half a year ago, Quan Yi ordered Quanying to commission the manufacture of a 'shotgun'.
Of course, the shotgun mentioned here does not refer to the kind from the previous life, but a simple 'shotgun' that can be used with the Rhinoceros Seal for long-range attacks.
That is, the iron pipe and iron ball that Quan Yi took out just now.
Quan Yi, who didn't have much hope for this world's technology, deliberately lowered his requirements and only put forward two requirements.
One is that the iron pipe must be carried with one hand.
The other is that the strength of the iron pipe must be very strong.
Otherwise, when the iron pipe explodes, we will be the ones injured.
However, among the countless blacksmith shops in this large city, only the Yuan Family Blacksmith Shop has created works that meet Quan Yi's requirements.
After experiments, the iron pipes made by the Yuan family can perfectly withstand three rhinoceros seals. Only after the fourth and fifth times will cracks appear in the iron pipes.
Not only that, the Yuan family also put a lot of effort into the appearance. The entire iron pipe is natural and smooth, and it doesn't look like it was made by hand at all.
When seeing such superior performance and appearance, Quan Yi admitted that he underestimated the blacksmiths in this world.
Moreover, at the same time, Izumi saw a certain possibility.
He wants to reproduce the firearms from his previous life in this world.
"Research Institute? Iron Research Institute?"
As for Quan Yi's whimsical ideas, Yuan Blacksmith seemed unable to keep up with Quan Yi's thinking.
When Quan saw this, he could only explain patiently.
“The Iron Research Institute, to put it simply, is a place to study how to make stronger and more perfect iron.
Because the existing blacksmith’s technology cannot meet my requirements, so , I want to gather more excellent blacksmiths to study how to make ironware that meets my requirements.
Here, Blacksmith Yuan can use his talents as much as he wants and concentrate on research. All the expenses for the research will be borne by him. We provide. ”
Quan Yi revealed his purpose to Yuan Tiejiang.
Quan Yi has been thinking about this thing since half a year ago.
However, Quan Yi was not impatient, but chose to collect all the information about the Yuan family first, and then decide whether to invite him or not after understanding the Yuan family's situation.
Quan Yi has also communicated with his parents about this. Quan Yi's parents are supportive of Quan Yi's decision.
The development of the Quan family over the years has left the Quan family with a considerable surplus of money.
In addition, out of their trust in Quan Yi, the two also chose to help Quan Yi practice his skills.
“Boy, you want to buy my entire store just based on your empty words. Isn’t it too arrogant?”
In fact, Blacksmith Yuan was very moved by Quan Yi’s proposal. , but the wariness of strangers does not fade away so quickly.
"Oh, I'm sorry, let me introduce myself first. My name is Quan Yi, and I am the young master of Quan's boutique. Don't worry, we will buy it at the market price, and you will still continue to be here. Work." When Blacksmith Yuan heard about Quanjia Boutique, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
He knows Quanjia Boutique.
A year ago, Quanjia boutique suddenly appeared on the bustling streets of this city. In just one month, it became a well-known luxury store.
His background and financial resources are unfathomable, and he is not someone a blacksmith like him can offend. He regretted yelling at Quan Yi just now.
At this time Quanying, who was following Quan Yi, came out and took out a gift box in his hand.
"Here is a limited VIP card for our Quanjia Boutique. As long as you bring this card, you will get a 50% discount on purchases at our Quanjia Boutique. When we meet for the first time, it is just a small gift, but it is not respectful, so please accept it."
Quanying behaved very professionally and appropriately. This gift not only shows status but also shows importance.
Blacksmith Yuan carefully took out the card from the box and looked at the card carefully. Although he did not know the authenticity of the card, he could see that the materials and sophistication of the card were unusual.
"Ahem, I already understand the purpose of your visit, but can you let me discuss it with my son."
Although Yuan Tiejiang is a straight-tempered person, he knows that Quan Yi He is not a liar. After all, no one would pretend to be a powerful family just to deceive a down-and-out blacksmith.
Furthermore, Quan Yi's proposal made him very excited. He was not good at business. Recently, due to matters in the store, he didn't have time to forge iron.
But after all, it was related to the survival of the Yuan family, so he wanted to be more cautious.
"Of course."
Quanyi could tell from Yuan Tiejiang's expression that the other party was already moved.
For this operation, Quan Yi did his homework. After all, it was the first business negotiation. Quan Yi collected all the information about the Yuan family, including the development history of the Yuan family, family members, and the personalities of the members. .
Yuan Blacksmith's name is Yuan Xing, and his son's name is Yuan Fei.
Both Blacksmith Yuan and his son are straight-tempered, and they both prefer to work on blacksmithing rather than running a business.
If the previous generation of family head, Yuan Xing’s grandfather, had not passed away earlier, the Yuan family would not necessarily be in the current situation.
Quan Yi, who understands the situation between the two of them, is quite confident about this negotiation.
So, at this time, Quan Yi chose to retreat in order to advance, which would arouse the favor of Yuan Tiejiang even more.
"Master Quan, after discussion between our father and son, we accept your proposal."
Sure enough, after a while, the two of them accepted Quan Yi's proposal.
"On behalf of the Quan family, I welcome you to join us."
The successful negotiation made Quan Yi's lips curl up naturally.
“No, Master Quan, this is our honor.”
Looking at the outstanding temperament Quan Yi in front of him, Yuan Blacksmith secretly glanced at his son and sighed in his heart: 'As expected of a descendant of a big family, it is simply incomparable. '
Moreover, Quan Yi's approachable temperament broke Yuan Tiejiang's impression of the children of big families.
Yuan Tiejiang knew that in order to run a good business in this big city A store cannot only have technology.
So, now that a big family finally appreciates his skills and wants to recruit him with excellent conditions, he has to agree even if it is for his son.
Quanying will be responsible for the next specific matters, including signing contracts, store transfers, negotiation of recruitment conditions, etc.
While Blacksmith Yuan and Quanying were discussing the details, Quanyi chose to visit the blacksmith shop.
