Chapter 224 Testing the height of the building
The variable speed bicycle launched by Quan Yi had been designed as early as a year ago.
Since there is no competitor so far, he has never come up with it.
However, now a competitor has emerged that can threaten their leading position.
So Izumi directly chose to suppress it.
However, Quan Yi did not go too far. Instead, he appropriately increased the technical difficulty to test the opponent's level.
However, his gentle temptation was a heavy burden for the other party.
“According to the report that came today, Lou Gao and the others directly reduced the price by 5,000 to barely sell the amount today.”
Quan flicked the report in his hand and explained to Yuan Blacksmith The truth.
Tiejiang Yuan said: "It's really scary. The quality of Master Lou's products is obviously very good, but the price has been cut in half."
Quan Yiyi: "People who can afford high-end bicycles care about only two things, one is quality and the other is reputation.
Lou Gao's products are inferior imitations of ours, not only the quality is slightly Worse than us, and there will be an inferior impression in people's minds.
Before, they could attract customers with similar quality.
But now, If we sell new products with stronger functions for 10,000 gold soul coins, of course they can’t maintain the current selling price.”
Business is cruel, and Quan Yi’s method of maintaining the original price is not good for them. Although losses will also be caused, the losses on the other side will be greater.
Quan Yi not only has no worries about such competition, but is even more delighted.
Because the current situation is exactly what Quan Yi expected.
He is in great need of a senior blacksmith like Lou Gao.
The various research, experience, and wisdom they carry are indispensable to Quan Yi. They can not only greatly increase their knowledge, but also speed up the research on iron tools.
Now, people have thrown themselves into a trap, so of course Quan Yi will accept everything.
However, before subduing, Quanyi still needs to test it out. He doesn't just look at skills, but also looks at character and character.
The most important thing is that you must join the Quan family and obey the orders of the Quan family.
For this reason, Quan Yixiang Lou Gao launched the first round of testing.
After the sales of variable-speed bicycles began, the popularity of Quanyi Bicycle Shop skyrocketed again.
Including customers who have purchased the original version before, they also come here specifically to buy new products.
The maximum speed of the variable-speed bicycle is twice as fast as the original version, and it can also adapt to complex terrain by changing gears.
The powerful functions attract everyone’s attention.
On the contrary, outside the high-rise bicycle shop, the business is also booming.
However, the level of customers has been greatly reduced. The middle and lower nobles who could not afford huge sums of money can now buy high-quality bicycles at low prices.
If it were not in Saous City and the building was somewhere else, it could actually be sold at a higher price.
However, Lou Gao did not choose to retreat, but continued to stay in Sawusi City.
A week passed and Lou Gao finally launched a counterattack.
High-rise shops.
Today, they actually launched a brand new variable speed bicycle.
Although, this is just a simple version of a transmission bicycle with three gears: low, medium and high.
However, to be able to copy it to this extent in just one week, the strength of the master craftsman should not be underestimated.
In the forging room, after Lou Gao heard the news about the transaction of the Lou Gao brand variable-speed bicycle priced at 6,000 gold soul coins, Lou Gao's body collapsed directly on the wooden chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
Lou Gao's plump body had lost weight in just one week, and his eyes were bloodshot. There was no trace of joy in his pupils, only doubt and loneliness.
The reason why Lou Gao is so weak is because, this week, he has spent all his time researching and forging himself.
Although it is just a simple addition of a few gears, the complexity is far beyond imagination.
Except for Lou Gao himself and several of his disciples, other blacksmiths are unable to complete such a delicate project.
After forging it himself, Lou Gao had a deeper understanding of the difficulty, which also allowed him to understand the huge gap between the two sides.
In addition to research, it took a week to barely imitate a poor imitation.
At this moment, he began to have serious doubts about his forging level.
He collapsed on the chair and murmured: "There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. I didn't expect that there are such powerful blacksmiths in Douluo Continent."
Silong was a little depressed when he saw Lou Gao. , hurriedly comforted: "Master, we are just a step slower than others. As long as we continue to study, we will be able to build a stronger bicycle than the other side in a short time."
At this time, Lou Gao seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, he burst out laughing and said, "Silong, I'm not depressed, but happy. I didn't expect that after living to this age, I can see the hope of the rise of blacksmiths." .
I can’t even laugh, why should I be sad?”
Silong looked at Lou Gao’s abnormal mood swings and couldn’t help but worry about Lou Gao’s mental state.
After all, Lou Gao is getting older and his energy is not as good as before. Silong is worried that Lou Gao will overreact after being frustrated.
However, Silong underestimated Lou Gao. Lou Gao's love for forging was unmatched by anyone. A setback not only did not make him sink, but instead, his enthusiasm became even higher.
At this time, a green voice came from the forging room.
"Hahaha, you are worthy of being the god general Lou Gao, and his heart is like fine steel that has been tempered thousands of times."
"Who is it!"
Lou Gao stood up quickly, alert looked around.
Silong also reacted quickly and quickly stood beside Lou Gao to protect Lou Gao's safety.
The age of the speaker does not sound very old, but the ability to clearly hear the noisy sound of forged iron in his ears is not something that ordinary people can achieve.
At this time, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the door of the forging room.
Lou Gao's pupils shrank, but his heart stirred up a big wave, and he secretly thought: "I just checked the door clearly, when did this guy appear at the door?"
"Haha, isn't Master Lou coming to this city just to find me? Why, Master Lou won't welcome me when I personally come to your door?"
The speaker is Quan Yi.
When Lou Gao heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he became extremely worried.
You must know that although he is the president of the Blacksmith Association, he is completely unable to resist when facing a truly powerful soul master family.
"Your Excellency, are you from the Quan family?" Lou Gao asked carefully.
Quan Yi smiled faintly and said: "Exactly."
"Disrespect, disrespect. I am Lou Gao, the president of the Blacksmiths Association. I don't know why you are here this time. ?" Lou Gao took a step forward and asked.
Quan Yi said: "Since Master Lou asked the question, I will get straight to the point.
I came here this time to invite Master Lou to join our Quan family."
Quan Yi's words were as shocking as Shi Luo's, causing the noisy forging room to fall into silence.
However, the crisp sound of the fire burning in the stove was particularly clear.
