Section 639
Lu Xianzhi looked at the humanoid metal puppet in front of him and introduced it to Lu Changsheng.
Half a year ago, after he mastered the three basic puppets of flying eagle, walking beast and humanoid, Lu Changsheng asked him to continue to make three new puppets.
War Puppet No. 1, Beast Puppet No. 1, Bird No. 1.
These are also the three puppets that Lu Changsheng is going to put on the market.
However, these three puppets are all first-class middle-grade puppets with certain technical content. It is not easy to achieve mass production.
During this time, Lu Changsheng also made several optimization adjustments according to the actual situation.
Especially War Puppet No. 1.
This puppet has both offensive and defensive capabilities, and can fight in close combat and attack from a distance. Its manufacturing difficulty is very complicated.
In order to achieve mass production, it also took a lot of time.
"Well, let me see."
Lu Changsheng looked at the puppet in front of him, and then opened the heart mirror to check the internal inscription.
This inscription was obviously made by the golden armor bean soldier, and it was very standard.
Immediately, he used the puppet control technique corresponding to this puppet to control the puppet spirit in front of him.
Forward, backward, jump, flip.
After a brief demonstration, Lu Changsheng let the metal puppet punch him, and then punched the metal puppet again.
The puppet retreated repeatedly, and a concave fist mark appeared on its chest.
However, the puppet was able to move while stabilizing its retreating steps.
After a test, the metal puppet was already uneven and horrible, but Lu Changsheng showed a satisfied smile on his face.
He looked at Lu Xianzhi and nodded, "If War Puppet No. 1 is now in mass production, how long will it take to produce one and how much profit will it make?"
"Father, the workshop is currently divided into three production lines. If the War Puppet production line is fully operational, it will take about ten days to produce one. Including materials and labor, the cost is roughly 180 spirit stones."
"In the current market, the price of a mid-grade puppet is between 240 and 300 spirit stones. If our family wants to open up the market, we can only sell at a low price in the early stage."
"And father, you mean that our family will not run our own business for the time being. If we supply goods to the outside, the price is estimated to be only 200 spirit stones."
Lu Xianzhi said respectfully.
"The profit is so low, it's not even as good as this sweatshop."
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly when he heard this.
Although he had long known that puppets were sweatshops and earned some hard-earned money.
But this profit was too low in his opinion.
You know, he usually teaches Lu Xianzhi and others, and spends all this time in the workshop to make pills and talismans, and he doesn't know how much profit he has made.
"Father, once we have more people and their proficiency improves, this cost can be further reduced."
"And in terms of material procurement, we are currently mainly using black tungsten steel. If we start mass production and purchase in large quantities, the price can be reduced by 10% to 30%."
"Besides, after the sales and reputation of our puppets are established, the price can also be raised."
"But I think that since our family has a store, we can open a store in Hongye Valley Market to open up our reputation."
Seeing his father's contemplation, Lu Xianzhi roughly understood his father's thoughts and spoke out.
In fact, in his opinion, a puppet with a profit of 20 spirit stones is already very good.
Currently, the workshop has three production lines, which can produce about eight to ten puppets a month.
It is equivalent to one or two hundred spirit stones, and more than two thousand spirit stones a year.
Besides, this income can be gradually increased.
"Okay, let's do it according to your ideas."
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng chuckled.
I also understand that such things cannot be measured by my own consumption concept.
An annual income of two thousand spirit stones is already quite good for a foundation-building family.
Besides, this puppet workshop is still in its infancy.
When its reputation is established, the income will naturally increase.
He patted his son on the shoulder and said, "If you have any questions, go and discuss with your aunt, Ping An, and Quan Zhen at home."
"As for opening a puppet shop in Hongyefang City, you can choose two sensible apprentices to go there."
Lu Changsheng said so.
After speaking, he added, "By the way, Xianzhi, remember to uniformly mark all the puppets with the five words 'Bihushan Lu Family'."
Puppets are replicable.
These three puppets were designed by him based on the current puppet market in the cultivation world.
If there are puppeteers from other families who see that their own puppets are good, they may copy and produce them.
So at this time, a brand effect can be considered.
Just like the red blood carp of Bihu Mountain, the talisman paper of Qingzhu Mountain, the centipede wine of Centipede Ridge, and the spiritual birds of Bainiao Lake, they all have a certain reputation.
"Yes, father!"
When Lu Xianzhi heard this, his face immediately showed joy and he bowed his hands in response.
He knew that he had a ninth-grade spiritual root, poor talent, and no great ability, and there was no hope of building a foundation in this life.
So he put most of his time and energy on puppets, hoping to make some achievements in other aspects.
In the past two years, he has devoted all his attention to the workshop, hoping to make it profitable as soon as possible.
Now, Lu Changsheng finally agreed to mass-produce puppets at home and put them on the market, which also made him extremely excited.
After visiting the puppet workshop, Lu Changsheng came to his own talisman workshop and winemaking workshop for inspection.
The talisman workshop has not changed much.
By OEM for Qingzhushan, he can earn two or three hundred spirit stones a year, just for fun.
However, the winemaking workshop is still okay at present.
It can stably brew "white jade wine" and "spiritual mulberry wine" and gradually make profits.
After the harvest of the green rice, Lu Changsheng also spent some time using "green rice" as the main ingredient to develop a kind of wine called "Bihu wine".
It has the effect of nourishing the body and enhancing water-based exercises.
However, the workshop is not effective in mass-producing this kind of wine.
And the green rice at home is limited, so Lu Changsheng gave up the idea of mass production.
However, after spending a lot of time on research and development, Lu Changsheng used the ‘green carp’ as the main ingredient to develop a ‘green carp wine’, and is now preparing to put it on the market to see how it goes.
“Hmm?”
At this moment, Lu Changsheng felt a restless breath coming from his spirit pet bag.
He sensed it slightly, and his eyes immediately showed joy.
He immediately explained a few words to his son Lu Quanzhen and his nephew Hong Xuanji, and then turned into a stream of light and returned to the Changsheng Palace.
Arriving in the cave, Lu Changsheng opened the spirit pet bag.
But a two-inch long golden silkworm with thin wings on its back appeared.
It was full of golden light, exuding a brutal and bloodthirsty breath.
Lu Changsheng looked at the six-winged golden silkworm in front of him and took out two gourds from the storage bag.
They were all filled with spiritual blood. He took out a white jade bowl and poured out the spiritual blood.
Then he said to the six-winged golden silkworm: "Let's start!"
Fourteen years later, the six-winged golden silkworm, under his feeding, was finally about to advance from the larval stage to the growth stage.
Promoted from the first level to the second level!
Although it is still a long way from the maturity period of growing a second pair of wings.
But in Lu Changsheng's opinion, it is already very good.
After all, this is the first second-level spiritual pet he has cultivated.
Like his first pet, the Nine Nether Mastiff, it is still in the late stage of the first level.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss--"
Hearing Lu Changsheng's words, the six-winged golden silkworm immediately swallowed the spiritual blood in the white jade bowl quickly.
"Boom!"
At the same time, a brutal and fierce aura surged all over the six-winged golden silkworm, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
However, the promotion of the demon race mostly depends on the flesh and blood, and the demand for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not great.
Seeing that the six-winged golden silkworm drank up the spiritual blood in the jade bowl in a short while, Lu Changsheng did not hold back and continued to pour out the spiritual blood in the gourd to let it eat its fill.
