"Gu~"
My stomach protested with hunger again.
After a lot of tossing, the time has come to one o'clock in the afternoon.
Lu Li rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find food, and finally found half a box of damp biscuits in the drawer.
But he couldn't care less. He finished his humble lunch and once again devoted himself to the drawing of "Spark".
By the evening, Lu Li had created a total of 21 sparks.
The setting sun has completely disappeared into the distant horizon, and the sky has become completely dark.
Every household in the urban village community has also used lighting cards, and thousands of homes are suddenly brightly lit.
Opening the narrow window, the comfortable evening breeze blew over Lu Li's face, relieving him from a lot of fatigue.
The advertising light board downstairs has been lit. It is a convenient supermarket where he sells Star Cards on consignment to earn living expenses. The owner, Lao Li, is standing at the door smoking a cigarette.
"Next, let's sell these star cards to Boss Li." Lu Li stretched slightly, picked up the 20 star cards freshly baked on the table, and walked out.
As for the first successfully produced star card, Lu Li decided to keep it as a souvenir.
The supermarket door is opposite the building where Lu Li is located. As soon as he walked out of the unit door, he bumped into Boss Li.
Smoking Lao Li looked at the ten star cards in the young man's hand with some confusion: "Xiao Lu, why did you come to give away the star cards today? Isn't it the end of the month yet?"
Lu Li and Lao Li were also old acquaintances. Since he moved to this community three years ago, the two have always maintained a "cooperative relationship".
It's said to be cooperation, but in fact it's just Lao Li taking care of the young man.
Low-energy life cards such as lighting cards and stove cards have already been manufactured automatically. Star cards produced by machines are not only of high quality, but also have large output, which can better meet the needs of card sellers.
But when Lao Li saw how poor Lu Li was without a father or a mother, he felt compassion and agreed to buy the life card drawn by the young man.
Moreover, the quality of the stove cards produced by Lu Li was ridiculously high, almost the same as the star cards automatically produced by large factories.
At the end of every month, Lu Li would give Lao Li 600 life cards, and Lao Li would buy them at market prices. This income allowed Lu Li to just break even.
The cooperation between the two lasted for three years.
Today, Lu Li came to deliver the goods earlier than usual. It was still some time before the end of the month.
"Boss Li, I got some new stuff, take a look." Lu Li took out a sealed Spark.
For this card, Lu Li used the encapsulation shell of the Zaohuo Card.
Lao Li grabbed the star card in the young man's hand, looked over it several times, and asked doubtfully: "Isn't this just an ordinary stove card? You have changed the structure inside?"
"Yes, I changed something in it. You'll know after you take a look." Lu Li pretended to be mysterious.
The two of them walked to the stove in the supermarket, and Lao Li activated the star power in his body to activate the stove fire card.
The next moment, a flame as deep as the night sky ignited on the stove, and the scorching heat rushed towards my face.
Seeing this unprecedentedly colorful stove fire, Lao Li was stunned for several seconds.
After coming back to his senses, he said with some relief: "This thing is quite new. Why don't you tinker with your Night Demon Dragon?"
As a partner for three years, Lao Li naturally knew that Lu Li was the star card designer.
The Night Demon Dragon is a high-energy star card that is still in the blueprint stage. Lu Li was unable to make it due to depletion of star power and poverty.
From an elder's perspective, Lao Li naturally didn't want Lu Li to bury his overflowing talents, but he still needed milk and bread on the way to pursue his dreams.
Now that Lu Li has changed his high-spirited approach and is willing to do something down-to-earth, Lao Li is naturally a little pleased.
"Hey, aren't we here to eat?" Lu Li also knew what Lao Li meant and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"How much do you plan to sell this star card for?" Lao Li asked. Even with his decades of experience in opening a store, he couldn't estimate the value of this star card.
Tell me what its use is. Its function is indeed no different from an ordinary stove card, but its starry appearance is indeed beautiful.
"I never thought about this..."
Lu Li had been immersed in creation since he came back from the hospital. It was only now that he remembered that this spark had not yet been priced.
He immediately made plans.
The cost of a life card includes card material, ink and packaging shell. The former is 30 star coins each, while the prices of the latter two are basically ignored.
Of course, Lu Li also needed to calculate the cost of consuming pills when making the star card.
The price of star power supplements is not cheap, one tablet costs about 3 star coins, which is why Lu Li's cost of living is high.
In other words, excluding the time cost, the cost for Lu Li to draw a spark is about 36 star coins.
A stove card can be used by one household for nearly half a month, and the market price is 45 star coins.
"Or 45 Star Coins." Lu Li said, "These 10 Star Cards are just the first wave of bait I threw out. I want to see the effect first. Boss Li, I hope you can give priority to selling these Stove Fire Cards when you sell them. 10 cards, the target group is preferably young women, or customers with children at home.”
Old Li pondered for a moment. He had been doing business for so many years, so of course he understood what Lu Li meant.
This young man wants to rely on the first batch of customers to promote his product, accurately identify the consumer group of this star card, and then re-price it.
Naturally, young women and children are chosen as the first batch of customers because these people are more likely to be interested in colorful stove cards.
"Okay." Lao Li nodded and smiled, "I only knew that your boy was a genius designer, but I didn't expect that you are also a guy with business acumen."
"Then thank you, Boss Li." Lu Li handed over the remaining 19 Sparks in his hand.
In his previous life, he was a big boss in the gaming industry and a successful businessman himself. It was easy to use such a small brain.
"Twenty Zaohuo cards, a total of 900 star coins." Old Li took out a black star card.
The name of this black card is a savings card, and its function is similar to the bank card in the previous life.
After the transaction was completed, Lu Li's savings card had an extra 900 star coins.
"Also, Xiao Lu." Lao Li suddenly said while putting 20 Sparks on the shelf, "This is a newly designed Star Card. Don't forget to register the patent with the Star Card Association. This You don’t need to make a trip to get this stuff, it can be done on the Star Network.”
Hearing this, Lu Li was also slightly startled.
In this world, as an important and established product, Star Card naturally has complete regulations.
Due to the particularity of the card material and packaging shell, the formed star card cannot be deconstructed, which eliminates the possibility of pirated star cards from the root.
Successfully applying for a patent can not only further protect the copyright of Star Card, but also get a small bonus.
"I'm going now." Lu Li said goodbye to Boss Li and left in a hurry.
