Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

Trucks rushed out of the portal, with their trunks filled with No. 1 ceramic steel powder. The ceramic steel would help the rubber factory build higher walls and factory buildings that could withstand air raids.

This time, more than 50 tons of ceramic steel powder were pulled out, enough for the factory to use for a long time.

As soon as the ceramic steel powder was transported, the supervisor immediately shouted at the Japanese soldiers who were ready to go.

"Gentlemen! Act quickly! Don't be lazy and work!"

"Hayi!"

The Japanese soldiers shouted and rushed into the portal with 20 tires tied with ropes on their backs. After rushing in, they put the tires down and rushed out quickly.

After several trips back and forth, more than 4000 rubber tires were delivered to the island space. They moved incredibly fast because the supervisors required them to be fast. If they were slow, they would be severely punished.

Now Li Qinwu has expanded to many places and has to open portals several times a day, so the incoming and outgoing goods of each location must be completed within half an hour. To this end, he has set up railway stations in places such as Hutoushan and Chongqing Iron and Steel Plant.

In fact, it is just laying two sections of rails on the ground, which can allow the train to pull the carriages quickly in and out of the island space, so that the time to open the portal can be reduced to less than 10 minutes.

After transporting this batch of tires, Li Qinwu opened the portal to the Chongqing Iron and Steel Plant several times. This way, opening multiple portals would consume the least energy for him.

He came to the bicycle workshop to deliver the batch of rubber tires and immediately asked the workers to assemble the bicycles.

In the past few days, the factory has cleared out several factory buildings and opened various workshops, such as a workshop specializing in processing springs, a workshop for processing large gears, and a workshop for processing lathe units.

Li Qinwu hopes to produce some low-level machines, expand factory production, and then manufacture turbines, generators, and engines by himself.

However, these things require a lot of prerequisite technology, so Li Qinwu needs to take it slow, and the factory needs to be expanded for this.

In addition to these arrangements that will bear fruit in the future, there are also production workshops that can generate value immediately.

Such as various daily necessities made of No. 2 ceramic steel, including bowls and chopsticks, water cups, teapots, frying pans, stew pots, as well as military products and military kettles.

This kettle is designed with two layers of lightweight ceramic steel interlayer, with an inner liner for heat preservation. One side of the kettle is slightly curved to make it convenient for soldiers to carry it close to the waist.

There is a ceramic steel bowl on the kettle, which can be separated from the kettle and used when eating.

Some of you may feel familiar with this. Yes, this thing is what Li Qinwu copied from the Type 19 kettle. The kettle made of ceramic steel has become stronger and lighter, but due to the wear-resistance of ceramic steel, the mouth of the kettle is blocked with a wooden plug.

After actual testing, it was found that there would be no leakage after the cork was inserted into the bottle mouth and the bottle cap was put on.

In addition, the kettle also comes with a carrying case made of coarse cloth, which is generally sturdy but cheap.

In order to sell these goods, Li Qinwu used his connections with the Li Jin Chamber of Commerce to acquire four stores in Chongqing City. He also purchased stores in surrounding towns and villages with a population of over a thousand, totaling more than 4 stores, and he is in the process of purchasing more.

All of these shops have a huge sign with the words "Longlong Shop" in big red letters. Next to the letters is a smiling three-headed dragon doll.

Longlong Store will become the offline channel of Julong Company. Li Qinwu will add various commodities and snacks for children to Longlong Store in the future. He hopes that Longlong Store will become a fond memory for this generation of children and Longlong doll will become a symbol of happiness for this generation of children.

However, people's living conditions are poor now, and many farmers cannot even get enough to eat. If they want to buy snacks, how to produce healthy and cheap snacks becomes a problem that needs to be considered. He will have to think about this for a long time.

Half of the first wave of goods will be shipped to Henan and handed over to Li Xi to let him practice whether rural cooperatives are feasible.

The Longlong Store is ready, except for the most important item, the bicycle. This is the big item in the Longlong Store and the flagship of the store.

With the quick operation of the clones, rubber tires were placed on the car shells and bicycle tricycles were assembled.

After the preparations were completed, Li Qinwu directly used trucks to transport bicycles and tricycles to various sales outlets, and the Longlong Store was officially opened!

A burst of crackling firecrackers sounded in the urban area of ​​Chongqing. A shop with an area of ​​more than 400 square meters was filled with a wide variety of goods. The most eye-catching ones were the bicycles, tricycles and other vehicles placed in the middle of the store.

When passers-by outside the shop saw someone setting off thousands of firecrackers, they knew that a new store was opening, so they gathered around to watch the fun.

The person who presided over the opening ceremony was Li Jin. He clasped his hands and said to everyone at the door: "Fellow villagers of Chongqing, my Longlong Store is open for business today. We mainly sell various daily necessities products and human-powered vehicles. Please take good care of us. Come in!"

A crowd of people rushed into the Longlong Store, pointing and talking about the goods inside.

A burly man saw a large wok hanging on the shopping shelf and exclaimed in surprise when he saw the price on the wooden sign.

"Hey! A big pot only costs 30 copper coins! What a bargain! The boss must be Harry!"

(Copper Yuan, a small-denomination metal currency I found on Baidu. The Nationalist government set the price at 100 copper yuan for one dollar, but the price fluctuated greatly among the people. Sometimes it would drop to 80 copper yuan for one dollar, and sometimes it would rise to 120 copper yuan for one dollar.)

The big man lifted up the wok and checked it, and asked suspiciously, "Hey? Why is it so light? Could it be fake?"

Seeing that the big man was interested in the product, Li Jin stepped forward to explain: "Sir, Longlong Store will never sell fake goods. Wouldn't that damage our reputation? Don't worry, the pot is definitely good!"

His words did not eliminate the suspicion on the big man's face. Li Qinwu, who was hiding in the crowd and observing the guests' reactions, noticed this.

He quietly walked behind Li Jin and said, "This person smells heavily of cooking oil. He might be a chef who often fiddles with big pots and is very sensitive to the weight of these things. You are..."

Li Jin nodded repeatedly, took the iron pot from the big man, and asked the guests around to make some space for him.

He turned the iron pot upside down on the ground and took out a small hammer from the shelf next to it.

"Hello, young and old, the things in our Longlong Store are guaranteed to be durable!"

After saying that, he swung the hammer down hard, hitting the iron pot with a loud bang.

He then smashed it a second time and a third time. When the onlookers saw that he was smashing things, they immediately became interested and gathered around to watch.

Li Jin hit it more than 10 times, put away the small hammer, pointed at the iron pot and said: "Look, everyone, it's genuine! It's strong and durable!"

Everyone gathered together to take a look and marveled.

"Oh my, this iron pot is really sturdy! It didn't break at all!"

Li Jin had just swung the hammer with great force, making loud "duangduangduang" noises. But when he looked closer, he saw only a few small dents on the iron pot. If it were an ordinary iron pot, these few blows would have dented a large area, and an inferior iron pot would have been broken into pieces.

The big man who smelled of cooking oil was also amazed and said immediately: "I'll buy one first and use it when I get home. If this pot works well, I'll replace all the pots in the kitchen with yours!"

As he said this, he took out his purse and wanted to pay, but Li Qinwu stepped forward and held down his hand.

The big man was confused, so Li Qinwu smiled and said, "Sir, you are the first guest of my house, and the first one to come in for free!"
