Several old guys came out of the palace with frowns on their faces.
They were wondering all the way, why did they so stupidly agree to be Chunwei's invigilator?
"Has Your Majesty dug a hole and waited for us to jump in?"
Zhang Han felt something was wrong no matter how much he thought about it.
How could it be such a coincidence that the household department was short of people and they happened to enter the palace?
"Isn't it possible? We also had a sudden idea to collect all the cotton candy machines without revealing anything in advance. How could it be that His Majesty dug the hole?"
Wang Ben waved his hands repeatedly, thinking it was impossible.
They were all improvised, so how could His Majesty know?
"Well! I agree with Lao Wang's statement! Didn't His Majesty say it? This matter has been bothering him for many days! Besides, we recommended each other to serve as invigilators, and it was not His Majesty's request!"
Chunyu Yue said.
"Hmph! Chunyu Yue, Chunyu Yue, I get angry when you talk about this! You said that you, a civil servant, proctored the exam. Why did you bring us generals here?"
Kang Anping said angrily.
"What's wrong with Wen Chen? Does Wen Chen deserve to be the invigilator? Wouldn't it be nice if I lay at home...?"
Chunyu Yue gloated and said, "If you don't let me live a comfortable life, then you won't be able to relax at home! We are brothers when we share blessings and share hardships!"
"You, you...!"
Kang Anping didn't know what to say about him.
"Okay, go back quickly and have a good sleep. Tomorrow, we will ask the Ministry of Etiquette to understand the Spring Wedding process. How can we really wait until the Spring Wedding day to show up!"
Wang Ben interrupted the quarrel between the two and said helplessly.
…
After the veterans left, Ying Feiyu kept his word and immediately opened the system, drew the drawings of the cotton candy machine, and ordered them to be delivered to Huang Yuan.
Huang Yuan read the drawings and dialed the phone, "Your Majesty, I just heard at the factory today that someone is selling marshmallows in the Commercial City, and I received your drawings before I even saw the real thing!"
Marshmallows were also considered a new thing, and they quickly spread throughout the city.
Even Huang Yuan, who has been staying in the factory, knows it!
"Oh? So fast?"
Ying Feiyu on the other side of the phone was slightly surprised.
"No! When I inspected the factory this afternoon, many craftsmen were talking about marshmallows...!"
Huang Yuan nodded firmly and continued: "If I guess correctly, the current cotton candy machine was also made by your Majesty, right?"
"Haha! That's right!"
"Originally, I just wanted to give Wan'er and the others a taste of it, but I didn't expect that Tongwuhou and the others would bump into me and buy the machine! Now I plan to do something big, and I hope to build more!"
Ying Feiyu gave an overview of what happened.
"Oh? Is it Marquis Tongwu and others who want to do this business?"
"Yes! They came to the palace specially today, hoping that I can mass-produce the cotton candy machine!"
Thinking of what happened this afternoon, Ying Feiyu couldn't help but laugh.
You call it a coincidence or not.
There was a shortage of people here, so a few old guys came to the door.
Something happened to be asked of him, and even if they didn't want to take it, they had to take it!
Otherwise, you would really have to put a lot of thought into choosing the person to invigilate the exam!
"Your Majesty, I've already seen the drawings. It's not difficult. It won't take long to build! But after the year, many factories will be expanded and a lot of craftsmen will be hired! If we recruit more now, it may be a little difficult!"
This is the purpose of Huang Yuan's call.
It’s getting harder and harder to recruit craftsmen these days, so the production volume shouldn’t be too big!
"It doesn't matter, just start the production slowly! Marquis Tongwu also needs to prepare slowly. They will be too busy to produce too much at once!"
Ying Feiyu said.
"good……!"
With these words, Huang Yuan felt relieved, "Your Majesty, you mean to sell all the marshmallow machines built to Tongwu Hou and others?"
"That's right! This time, several old ministers are doing business alone! They want all the machines that have been built!"
"This is a good thing!"
Huang Yuan felt happy after hearing this.
All the machines produced will be taken over directly by someone, so there is no need to worry about sales!
"Well! Since they want it, we can make it! Just don't make it too big!"
Ying Feiyu explained.
"good!"
There is a shortage of craftsmen now, and even if you want to mass-produce it, you may not be able to do it for a while!
"Your Majesty, this machine is not difficult. We will start arranging it tomorrow. I estimate it will be completed in less than a month. I wonder how much the price should be?"
Anyway, it was only one phone call, so Huang Yuan simply asked about the price so as not to disturb His Majesty later.
Your Majesty has so many things to do every day, you can't always make phone calls for such trivial matters!
Besides, His Majesty just said that he sold the marshmallow machine to Marquis Tongwu and the others, so they thought of buying some more.
I guess there should already be a price!
"The structure of the machine is simple. You have seen it. You should be able to estimate the cost, right?"
Ying Feiyu asked instead without answering.
He asked for seven hundred gold casually.
If it is mass production, you still have to consider the cost!
At this price, it is impossible to lose money. The main thing is not to look too black-hearted!
"Yeah! According to the official's visual inspection, the cost should be between thirty and forty gold!"
Huang Yuan held the phone in his hand and said seriously while flipping through the drawings.
He has been dealing with various machines and raw materials all his life. After taking a look at the drawings, he roughly knows how to make them and where the difficulties lie.
At the same time, you can also estimate the approximate price!
"Ahem..."
However, the next second, His Majesty's coughing sound came from the other end of the phone.
"Your Majesty, how are you? Are you okay?"
Huang Yuan thought that his words were inappropriate and frightened His Majesty.
that's the truth!
Ying Feiyu knew that this thing only cost a few dollars, but he didn't expect it to be so low!
I choked on the hot tea I just drank and coughed!
"No...it's okay!"
"Are you sure the cost is only thirty or forty gold?"
After a while, Ying Feiyu asked suspiciously.
"Only high, not low!"
"Ahem, okay! Then sell it to a few old guys cheaper! After all, they are big customers!"
"One hundred gold?"
This is Huang Yuan's understanding.
It’s already twice the cost, and you don’t have to worry about sales, it’s almost like picking up money!
Even if each machine earns sixty gold, one hundred machines is six thousand gold!
"Four hundred gold!"
"Four……?"
As soon as Ying Feiyu's words came out, there was no movement on the phone.
Good guy, is this called earning less?
A small machine, net profit of 360 gold, more than ten times!
"They have to thank me for this!"
The last machine sold for 700 gold, but now it's down to 400 gold, a difference of nearly half. The payback period is even shorter, so the old guys can't thank him.
"If the trading volume is large later, you can lower it again appropriately, but you can't lower it too much at once!"
Ying Feiyu explained again.
The last one sold for 700 gold. If this time it is reduced to 600 gold, these old guys will feel like they are being cheated!
It’s better to lower it slowly!
"yes!"
Huang Yuan responded, and then the two hung up the phone.
