Chapter 188 Tools updated
Could other people have the same bonsai world as me?
The more Xu Boan thinks about this, the more possible it becomes.
After all, in his opinion, the world is so big and the population is billions or even tens of billions. Why does such a lucky thing only happen to him?
Even if there is such a person in a foreign country who has such an unexpected golden finger, the bonsai world owned by the other party will not be in the same plane world as his own bonsai world, right?
It would be okay if each of them were in different dimensions and worlds.
But if the bonsai owned by the other party and Xu Boan's bonsai really belong to the same world, that would be terrible.
In that case, according to the current development situation, the other party has begun to purchase goods in batches, while I am still in a corner and let it develop naturally.
The population under my management has not yet reached four digits, and the other party has already begun to purchase weapons and tools in units of "tons".
You must know that the little person is only one or two centimeters in size. The tools and weapons that can be used are only the size of rice grains and weigh only a few grams.
How much equipment does this ton of cargo require? How many villains must there be among the people managed by the other party!
In comparison, I am lagging far behind. According to common sense, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. Wouldn’t you be in trouble?
Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an broke into a cold sweat.
He couldn't help but have the idea of going abroad with Song Zhixia to explore each other's reality.
But Xu Boan quickly rejected this idea.
First of all, the relationship between him and Song Zhixia is not that good yet.
Secondly, Xu Boan also knew that even if someone really had the same golden finger bonsai as he thought, he might not be able to find out any useful information so easily.
After all, no matter who this matter is dealt with, it will be kept absolutely confidential.
But after having this conjecture, Xu Boan suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
No, I must speed up my exploration of the world of bonsai.
Otherwise, if he is really unfortunate enough to guess this, a catastrophic day will not be far away.
On the other side, brothers Song Zhixia and Song Zhiqiu saw that Xu Boan was silent for a long time. Song Zhiqiu took the initiative and smiled: "Mr. Xu, I think you shouldn't be polite to my elder brother. These gadgets are worthless. If you go the single-customization route, you can discuss the contract with my brother."
Although there is an elder brother named Song Zhichun above the two, they are not brothers after all, so Song Zhiqiu is called. Song Zhixia has always been the eldest brother.
Song Zhixia nodded and said: "For mass-produced things, it's just a matter of more or less. If you have high requirements, if our miniature carving master designs it for you alone, that thing But it’s expensive.
Actually, I was only in the miniature carving business. Later, in order to cooperate with my brother, I started to produce various bonsai ornaments. This time, I started doing business with foreign customers. It is also purely accidental. If there are not enough orders for mass production, it will not be as profitable as a small micro carving."
After hearing this, Xu Bo'an realized that Song Zhixia's profit point was in micro carving.
Xu Bo'an said: "I understand, that's good. Mr. Song, please help me ask the micro-carving master to make several small weapons such as swords, spears, and swords in different styles. The requirement is probably to be one of the famous antique swords. A similar appearance is enough, the price is easy to tell, and the materials must be exquisite and not easy to break.”
Song Zhixia’s eyes lit up, look, isn’t this a business?
At first, his brother Song Zhiqiu invited him to discuss business, but he was not very willing.
After hearing that the other party was not short of money, I thought it was possible to develop into a customer, so I came here.
After all, many people these days pay attention to artistic conception. What is artistic conception?
In addition to the display of personal skills such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, external decoration is also very important.
When you put on clothes, you look at the clothes.
When decorating a room or house, the so-called artistic things should either be made bigger and bigger or smaller.
For a successful person like Xu Boan, it is a bit mediocre to have a smooth sailing in the office.
If the entire miniature sculpture is placed on the desk for people to take a look at, there will definitely be something to talk about.
Song Zhixia also came with this idea, and for the sake of his younger brother, who settled in Dongjiang, it was always right to get to know more local people.
I didn’t expect that this trip was really the right one, and we unexpectedly concluded a business deal.
Look at their tone, they are not short of money!
Isn’t this a proper target customer?
Song Zhixia smiled and said: "No problem, Mr. Xu, according to your requirements, high carbon steel will be fine. As for the price, I will ask the master to look at it and then send you a quotation."
"That's easy to say. !" Xu Boan agreed readily, after all, he is really not short of money now.
Song Zhiqiu picked up the cup and interjected: "Mr. Xu is really refreshing. Come on, let's have tea instead of wine!"
When Xu Bo'an came, he said that drinking was not allowed during working days. Yes, the Song brothers naturally wouldn't be embarrassed, and they drank tea.
Putting down the tea cup, Xu Boan said again: "By the way, Mr. Song, do you have any small things like axes in your inventory over there?"
Song Zhixia nodded and smiled. : "I have a batch of samples still in the car, involving the simple labor tools and daily necessities we use! There are also things like pots, pans, axes, hammers, shovels.
But I don’t have you. We are talking about weapons such as swords, guns and swords. They have all been shipped abroad this time. If you want, I will help you organize some when I go back. Those things are all ready-made templates. The machines on the assembly line can be used as soon as the machine is turned on. Mass production."
When Xu Bo'an heard this, he said with interest: "Is it so convenient?"
Song Zhixia was afraid that Xu Bo'an would misunderstand his micro-carving business, so he hurriedly explained: "What I said is The mass-produced assembly line goods, the real micro-carvings are for collection, just like a text we learned when we were in school, it seems to be called "Nuclear Boat", the above-mentioned micro-carvings made of fruit cores, a mature It takes a whole day for the master to do it. Even ordinary wood costs more than a thousand yuan."
Xu Bo'an was not interested in this and continued to ask about the mass production line and said, "What if. Do you think it would be much more convenient to use metals like stainless steel to produce these tools by hand? ”
"That's natural. If the requirements are not high, just draw the drawing on the computer, and the machines on the assembly line will be able to produce as soon as they are turned on."
Hearing this, Xu Bo'an felt calm. With such a simple word, It would be much more convenient to come back to the entire factory by myself.
After all, although Song Zhixia’s technology is mature, if he customizes it too much, it will inevitably arouse the other party’s suspicion.
I don't look like a mysterious buyer from abroad. The Song brothers know everything about him, and Xu Bo'an doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to him.
But of course, if it involves small and delicate things, naturally you still have to ask Song Zhixia to take care of it.
For example, if you give ordinary little people standard weapons or tools produced by the assembly line, if you get to know someone of a higher level in the future, if you need to make friends, you have to give them a sweetheart. Bringing out something different, something that is extraordinary and different from ordinary people at first glance, will have a better effect.
Soon, Xu Boan and the others ended their gathering.
Xu Boan originally planned to pay, but found that Song Zhiqiu had already settled the bill. "Oh, it was me, the host, who should have come to help Mr. Song, but it cost you money, Mr. Song."
Xu Bo'an remembered that Song Zhiqiu said that his brother I settled in the provincial capital.
"Mr. Xu, you are too polite. I was the one who set you up." Song Zhiqiu said with a smile.
Although this meal is not cheap, it depends on who you eat it with.
For a potential customer like Xu Bo'an, if someone gives him some business later, wouldn't he be able to make back his meal money in a matter of minutes?
A few people walked and chatted until they arrived at the parking lot in the backyard.
Although the Dynasty Hotel is the leading hotel in Dongjiang, Dongjiang is not a metropolis after all, and the doorman service here does not provide you with parking.
Of course, maybe it’s because there is no custom of tipping here.
Song Zhixia’s car is a Volkswagen Passat, a low-key, luxurious and meaningful car.
Walking to the car, Song Zhixia took out a canvas bag the size of a laptop bag from the trunk of the vehicle and handed it to Xu Boan, saying: "Mr. Xu, everything you want is here, pots, pans and pans There are pots, small hoes, small axes and everything else. They were originally intended to be sold to customers, but they didn’t know they would be used. After all, they were our own hard work, so we couldn’t bear to throw them away, so we brought them back.”
Xu Bo’an. I was very happy to hear this. With this thing, the backing village in the bonsai world will change drastically.
To put it more broadly, the biggest difference between humans and animals is their ability to use tools.
The superiority of production tools can allow people to develop better and make more positive progress.
To put it more seriously, at least Jin Dajian and his colleagues' working tools will finally have a new look.
After seeing off Song Zhixia, Xu Boan couldn't wait to return home.
This place is closer to home, so Xu Boan is too lazy to go to work far away from home.
Opening the canvas bag, Xu Boan's expression was simply happy.
In the canvas bag, more than 20 small tools made of steel are packed in small transparent bags.
Those gadgets looked about the same size as rice. Otherwise, Xu Boan had good eyesight and would have had to use a magnifying glass to see these things clearly.
Not only pots and pans, but also small tools such as hoes, axes, hammers, iron rod-like steel drills, etc. There are five or six kinds of small hammers alone. The more Xu Boyan looked at them, The more I feel that the foreigners who place orders have the same needs as myself.
Thinking of this, Xu Boan inevitably felt a sense of urgency again. After taking out the bonsai, he gave instructions to Jin Dajian who was busy at the mountain temple.
"Jin Dajian, how is the progress?"
Hearing Xu Boan's words, Jin Dajian, who was exerting force on a piece of wood, hurriedly knelt on the ground. He didn't even have time to wipe the sweat off his face, and said respectfully: "Grandpa Mountain God, please forgive me. The tools are inconvenient at the moment. It may take a while to get better." , I have arranged for people to go to the market town to buy them. When the tools come back, we will work against time."
Xu Bo'an picked up a few small axes with his hands, but felt a little tingling on his skin, which made him panic. .
After thinking about it, Xu Boan took out the coffee spoon again and used it as a shovel to scoop out half of the spoon from the small plastic bag containing the small axe, which was more than ten axes.
Then he carefully put the coffee spoon into the bonsai, not daring to shake his hand. After all, if an ax accidentally dropped, it would be bad if it hit someone.
Soon, Xu Boan smoothly placed the dozen axes in front of Jin Dajian.
"Jin Dajian, look, what is this?" Xu Boan looked at Jin Dajian's reaction with a smile.
Jin Dajian was stunned when he saw those shiny silver axes that suddenly appeared.
Then, he said with some disbelief: "These...are all for us?"
Xu Bo'an smiled and said: "Of course they are for you. I have given them to you, from now on. If necessary, there are more!”
Jin Dajian and others stared at the sudden pure metal axe.
Such a bright ax is truly worthy of being used by gods.
You must know that in order to save iron, people usually ask a blacksmith to make an ax head and handle, but they are always replaced by wooden handles.
Although wooden handles also have certain advantages, such as good toughness, labor saving, and cheap. But for these craftsmen who do big work, the damage is really too bad.
This axe, which is made of iron from top to bottom, is simply not too likable.
Finally, you no longer have to worry about breaking the handle and injuring yourself if you use too much force.
Jin Dajian swallowed hard, restrained his urge to rush forward to get an axe, and kowtowed: "Thank you, Grandpa Mountain God, for the reward. With these axes, we will definitely speed up." According to the progress, the mountain temple will be rebuilt as soon as possible."
Xu Bo'an took out some more hammers and steel drills and gave them to Jin Dajian. At the same time, he said: "I don't know what exactly you are missing. Let's go back. If you have the tools you need, you might as well bring some samples to me and I will help you find some stronger and sharper substitutes."
Jin Dajian led several craftsmen to work together again. Kneel down.
Xu Boan contacted Li Kanshan again and handed him some hoes, shovels and other tools.
Li Kanshan was also very excited. The tools such as hoes and shovels in the village were already in dilapidated condition.
With these treasures gifted by the mountain god, it will be much easier for everyone to work.
After finishing these tasks, Xu Boan said to Li Kanshan: "With the increase in tools, our population here seems to be a little small. If we want to survive here for a long time, enough talents are the key."
Li Kanshan has also lived for so many years, and he still doesn’t know what Xu Boan means.
Li Kanshan immediately echoed: "What Grandpa Mountain God said is that since we took in these fleeing people a few days ago, we have indeed gained a lot of vitality here. The most important thing is to have any ideas. If you do it, you won’t have to worry about having no one to work with. It’s not like before when you couldn’t find any strong laborers.”
Xu Boan was about to give Li Kanshan a few words to recruit people to expand the mountain village. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, there were silhouettes of people.
Looking sideways, I saw on the ground outside the city wall, a team of horse-drawn carriages with large and small bags pulling various packages of luggage, approaching the city wall from far to near.
A team of men and horses were guarding them on the left and right, some holding long spears and some with sabers. They were menacing and steady, without any sense of fatigue from a long journey.
The carriage headed by the leader also had a blue flag with a character or pattern painted on it that Xu Boan did not recognize.
