Although Ying Zheng took the Zen position and became the Supreme Emperor leisurely, his majesty is still there.
Especially for veterans like Meng Yi and Chun Yuyue!
They had watched Ying Zheng's icy face for half their lives. As long as his face was pulled, the livers of these old guys would tremble.
I was completely frightened out of my psychological shadow.
Even if they have money now and can buy the best things, they don't dare to surpass the Supreme Emperor at this time!
In the future, when watches are mass-produced and all specifications are available, it will be a different matter!
"Have the ministers thought about it?"
Ying Feiyu looked slightly sideways and asked with a smile.
"Think about it, I want the most ordinary one!"
"right!"
The four old guys nodded repeatedly.
"Okay! I will call Huang Yuan later and ask him to lead the craftsmen to build a few pieces for you first!"
After a few people were confirmed, Ying Feiyu smiled.
"Thank you, Your Majesty...!"
The veterans thanked them happily.
"Your Majesty, I wonder when the watch will be ready?"
"In about five days!"
Ying Feiyu thought for a moment and gave a date.
It only took Huang Yuan four days to research and manufacture the watch.
Now that I have experience, five days is enough!
"Five days? Just five days?"
The veterans were shocked.
"How long will it take? A watch is nothing more than a smaller version of a clock. We have already had so much experience in making clocks. Isn't it a piece of cake to make a watch?"
Ying Feiyu said quietly.
"The craftsmen under Huang Yuan are getting better and better, I can't help but admire them!"
Meng Tian said with emotion.
"There are specialties in the art industry. If the people under him are asked to build houses, they will definitely not be able to build them as fast as the Ministry of Industry!"
"Haha! That's true! I'm not bragging...!"
After being praised, Meng Tian got louder and louder, and wanted to show off more, but was interrupted by Chunyu Yue.
"Okay, Lao Meng, Your Majesty is just being polite, but you still take it seriously! This is not a wine table, can you say something serious?"
"Serious? What sentence did someone say that was not serious?"
Meng Tian didn't think there was anything wrong with his words at all.
“Like the price of the watch?”
Chunyu Yue winked at him.
According to what Zhang Han said before, when ordering something from His Majesty, you have to ask about the price in advance.
Otherwise, once the item is built and suddenly offered a sky-high price, you won’t even have a chance to refute!
You can’t say no, right?
If you piss off His Majesty, I won't take you on any other business in the future, and the losses will be huge!
You have to negotiate the price in advance. If it’s suitable, decide on it. If it’s not suitable, give up!
"Yeah! That's right...!"
Meng Tian nodded, put on a smile, and approached Ying Feiyu, "Your Majesty, I wonder how much the watch you ordered costs?"
At the same time, the eyes of several other old guys also fell on Ying Feiyu, their ears perked up, and they listened carefully.
"Watches are of great help to people's lives and production. After mass production, the price will be close to the people, so that every person can afford it!"
Ying Feiyu put his hands behind his back and spoke a preface seriously.
"Yes, yes, we all know this! We ordered it in advance, so the price will definitely be higher!"
After all, they have known each other for so many years, so they naturally know what he is going to say in the second half of his sentence.
"That's right! The craftsmen involved in making watches all have relevant experience! They should have been allowed to run the production line. Now that several ministers have found me, I have to give this face, right? Just delay the progress for a few days and let them Let’s make these watches first! I won’t count the money that delayed the progress, because the amount is really hard to estimate! However, the money for these craftsmen who worked overtime to make them will still have to come from the ministers!”
"Yeah! It should, it should!"
When Ying Feiyu mentioned that the production schedule was being delayed, the veterans broke out in a cold sweat and almost said they didn't want the watch anymore.
As long as watches go on sale, there will be a large number of people waiting to buy them, and demand will exceed supply.
Not to mention making money every day, but it’s almost the same.
If they were asked to pay for the money that delayed the progress, they might as well wait!
I can’t afford to pay, I really can’t afford to pay!
Fortunately, His Majesty changed the topic and only asked them to pay for the overtime work of the craftsmen, and he breathed a sigh of relief!
Craftsmen work overtime, so it’s normal to pay them more!
"Those craftsmen are all skilled workers, and they work closely with Huang Yuan. Their salaries are not low! And the reason why watches can be produced so quickly is because dozens of craftsmen work together and divide the labor! These thirty craftsmen , based on three golds per person per day, the total is four hundred and fifty golds! Why do we need to pay two hundred golds for overtime, right? A total of four watches are made, which equals one hundred and sixty-two golds...!"
Ying Feiyu clapped his fingers while muttering calculations in a low voice. After getting the figures, he said: "The materials used for ordinary watches are not very expensive, so I won't accept them! But the craftsmen can't lose a penny. Each of the ministers will share one hundred and sixty-two gold!"
"call……"
The veterans breathed a sigh of relief again.
I thought how much it would cost, but after a long calculation, it turned out to be just over a hundred gold!
"Shang Shu, do you have any questions?"
Seeing that the old guys were silent, Ying Feiyu asked.
"No problem, no problem at all!"
"The craftsmen who can follow Huang Yuan are all capable of manufacturing various large-scale machinery. The salary is definitely high, and we are willing to pay for it!"
"Yes! If you ask people to work overtime, you will definitely need to pay more, no problem...!"
The veterans all expressed their opinions with smiles.
Needless to say, the salaries of the craftsmen around Huang Yuan are really high, almost as much as them!
But think about it from another perspective, without them, Huang Yuan alone would not be able to build so many machines!
"Okay, that's it. I'll call Huang Yuan later!"
"well!"
The veterans nodded repeatedly and agreed.
Kang Anping touched two handfuls in his arms, took out a stack of silver notes, and pulled out two of them, "Your Majesty, here are two hundred gold. There is no need to look for it. The rest will be treated as a drink for the craftsmen!"
"Your Majesty, I also have two hundred gold!"
"And mine!"
"Your Majesty, I am in a hurry when I go out today. I don't have any money with me. I will order someone to send it over when I get back!"
Chunyu Yue and Meng Yi also paid money one after another.
Although Meng Tian didn't bring any money, he promised to send money back later!
"Okay! No rush!"
It's only two hundred gold. Are you still afraid that he will run away?
"Your Majesty, I wonder how much the leather strap you mentioned and the gems on the dial are worth?"
Old timers are afraid to order expensive watches for the time being, but their curiosity cannot be resisted.
They don't dare to order something too good now, but that doesn't mean they can't buy it in the future!
When high-end watches are mass-produced, they won’t have so many worries!
"It's hard to say. Just like jewelry, it depends on the quality and color of the leather and gemstones. The better the gemstones, the more expensive they will be...!"
Ying Feiyu simply estimated the range, "Probably between a few thousand to tens of thousands of gold!"
The veterans looked at each other.
It’s not expensive!
We must arrange one at that time!
