Douluo's journey to becoming stronger begins with eating soul beast meat

Chapter 214 Status Symbol

"Thanks to the Prince's publicity, our bicycles can be unveiled earlier."

Blacksmith Yuan nodded in approval, and then he asked: "But, young master, although we have steam power and production lines, our number is too small. If we do not expand the space and personnel, we may not be able to meet the existing demand."

Quan Yi smiled faintly and said: "Who said we must meet the demand of the market. Starting from tomorrow, we will only produce ten units a day, so we don't have to spend all our manpower on producing bicycles."

"But, Young Master, if we reduce production by half, our income will also be reduced. Young Master, there is no need to save energy for everyone, everyone is very motivated."

Under the leadership of Quan Yi, the blacksmith shop has been in the stage of research and development for a long time.

At this stage, the expenses and wages of the blacksmiths were provided by the Quan family.

Receiving such generous treatment, the blacksmiths felt not only grateful but also guilty.

Now, after finally having the opportunity to sell the products they forged, everyone has been holding back their anger for a long time and wants to take this opportunity to repay the Quan family.

Blacksmith Yuan also had the same idea.

"I'm not trying to save everyone's effort." Quan Yi explained: "You must know that the price of goods is related to the scarcity of the items. At this stage, only we have the ability to forge high-quality bicycles.

As the saying goes, the rarer the bicycle, the more expensive it can be sold.

Moreover, our targets are the 'most' noble soul masters. There are too many of them, but they are not worthy of their status. "

When Quan Yi turned to look at Blacksmith Yuan, he just nodded indifferently.

Quan Yi sighed helplessly: "None of this matters, you just need to know that I do this to maximize my interests."

Yuan Tiejiang knew that he was inferior to Quan Yi in this aspect, so he decisively decided to follow Quan Yi's command.

"I understand. I will give the instructions later. Young Master, now there is only one last question left. That is, how much price should be set for each car."

Quan Yi was silent for a moment and said: "I heard that someone paid thousands of gold soul coins to buy a bicycle made entirely of refined iron.

Our bikes certainly can't be any weaker than that.

I decided to set the price of each bicycle to [-] gold soul coins, and limit the sales to ten bicycles per day. "

"S~!"

Blacksmith Yuan quickly calculated the profits in his mind.

However, he didn't need to calculate at all. The cost was more than 400 gold soul coins. After deducting the cost, the profit was as high as more than 300 gold soul coins.

Ten cars a day is [-] gold soul coins.

"Young Master, at such a high price, will anyone buy it?" Blacksmith Yuan asked unconfidently.

Quan Yi smiled mysteriously and said, "Let's wait and see."

With that said, Izumi put more than 100 bicycles into the Heart of the Sun and left the blacksmith shop.

The next day, a gorgeous shop opened mysteriously in Sausi City.

A month ago, the store that originally sold clothes suddenly closed.

After a month of renovation, the front wall of the store was directly transformed into a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Pedestrians passing by can clearly see what's going on inside as long as they walk by.

When they curiously peeked inside, they were surprised to find ten bicycles of different colors neatly placed inside.

After the prince's publicity, bicycles have become well-known in this city.

Now, a shop specializing in selling bicycles has appeared, which has attracted the attention of many interested people.

Many people walked into the store and witnessed the quality and effectiveness of the bicycles with their own eyes.

Then, they knew this store was not simple.

However, when they want to buy a bicycle.

The high price of [-] gold soul coins directly scared off most people.

"I can buy hundreds of horses at this price." A customer said, shaking his head and leaving the store.

At this time, an aristocratic man in gorgeous clothes smiled contemptuously and said: "You have no eyesight! How can a mere ordinary horse compare with a bicycle? Didn't you see that the prince once used a bicycle to defeat the agility-attack soul saint?" ? Moreover, this thing is not for mortals like you, only powerful soul masters can play its true role."

After saying that, the noble man bought a shiny gold bicycle on the spot, and then transported it away by carriage.

Since then, word of the bike shop has spread like wildfire.

On the first day, one was sold.

The next day, three cars were sold.

On the third day, ten cars were sold.

On the fourth and fifth days, there were also ten cars.

From the third day onwards, the bicycle shop will be sold out as soon as it opens every day.

The staff of the specialty store, under Quan Yi's instructions, bound them to the group of soul masters when introducing bicycles.

Introducing bicycles as a luxury product.

However, to achieve this effect, the quality of the bicycle itself must be excellent.

Otherwise, the current effect cannot be achieved.

After Tiejiang Yuan learned about this situation, his eyes and mouth opened wide and he could not close them.

One month has passed.

Quanyi earned nearly 30 million gold soul coins in just 300 days.

This amount can easily make up for the family resources that Izumi has consumed since he was two years old.

Even the funds consumed in running the research institute over the years are less than a quarter of the profits earned.

According to Quan Yi's observation of the market, it will take at least a year to meet existing demand.

A year is 360 five days, ten cars a day, which is 650 days.

There are only about this number of people in Sausi City who have the ability and willingness to buy.

However, this is only calculated based on the size of Sausi City.

In a year's time, the fame of bicycles will break out of the city of Saus and spread to all parts of the mainland.

After watching the bidding at the auction house, Quan Yi had a thought in his mind: 'There are so many rich people in this world! '

The experience at the auction house completely changed Quan Yi's thinking.

Originally, Quanyi wanted to use advanced production methods and use the strategy of small profits but quick turnover to seize the market of the lower class people.

However, Quan Yi feels that in this world, most of the money is in the hands of the top people.

Therefore, Quan Yi felt that he still had to scratch the rich man's skin.

The results also proved that Quan Yi's decision was very correct.

When it comes to new things, wealthy people with spending power have a stronger willingness to spend.

In this kind of top-down propaganda, the lower class people's views on bicycles have become more accepting from the initial resistance.

Moreover, the principle of bicycles is very simple and can be easily imitated.

If they do not seize the high-end market, Quanyi will not be able to use the advanced productivity they have mastered.

Now, in the city, there are people riding bicycles to get around.

They gave up riding carriages and used bicycles instead. Most of them were not soul masters, but more of them were nobles.

For the weak nobles, even if the carriage is more comfortable, they still ride bicycles.

Because, in their eyes, riding a bicycle is a status symbol.
