Star Marriage

Because Shuiling's start-up capital is basically their travel expenses, Xiaoding drafted a shareholding merger contract under the guidance of Yufei's interstellar phone.

The new company is called "Starlight Investment". Starlight Investment owns 70.00% of Shuiling's store, and Starlight Investment owns 30.00% of Xiaozheng's store.

Xiao Zheng and Shui Ling were appointed as shopkeepers.Because of the shareholding system, the boss is not alone. At the end of the year, profits must be distributed and losses must be shared.This most basic concept, of course, must be clearly explained to Xiao Zheng and Shui Ling first.

After signing this new contract, Xiao Zheng justifiably chased Yan Xichen for his luminous signboard.

The biggest difference between this planet of Qixing and the earth that Yan Xichen is familiar with is the energy source, people of Qixing do not use electricity.The things that people use in life are relatively simple, and the high technology is all in the military. Xiaolan doesn't know what drives those flying warships.

Ordinary civilians rely on plants such as lantern flowers for daily lighting, while clocks rely on optics, and others rely on water or wind.

For the luminous signboard of Shui Ling, Yan Xichen uses a battery brought from the earth. He has no idea how long the battery will last, and he doesn’t want to always shuttle between the earth and Qixing. After all, the experience brought back by Shirley He still has lingering fears.

When it turned into noodles, although there was no real pain, it was too scary to watch, and he didn't have the confidence to endure it again.

Miles is a planet with electricity, and only Huo Dongming has done such a thing as buying a generator from Miles with a lot of money.The reason why Entertainment Sky City is always sparkling and full of sense of technology is entirely because Mr. Huo keeps pace with the times and maintains a completely open attitude towards Miles' high technology.

The two provinces of Pakin and Bichar are relatively open, where there are TV signals, telephones and electric lights.The convenience of people's lives is entirely thanks to Mr. Huo.Huo Lao's electricity and telephone company claims to cover the whole island, but in fact, the work of connecting the other four major provinces into the power grid is very difficult, mainly because the consuls in various places have different attitudes towards Miles.

Yan Xichen didn't have Huo Lao's financial resources, so he couldn't go to Miles to buy a generator. Although he could ask for help, he just couldn't open his mouth.Anyway, simple generators and simple batteries are very easy to make, so he decided to raise funds first, and build a generator by himself in the future.

Therefore, the second luminous signboard is still powered by batteries. Yan Xichen only brought two batteries, and if someone asks him to make it, he has nothing to do.

However, before making a generator, he decided to find a small bag from the blacksmith shop opposite to make something for him.

Things like clocks and watches can be realized by purely mechanical principles, without electricity at all.In order to raise money as soon as possible, Yan Xichen decided to use the drawings of clocks and watches from the eighteenth century on Earth.

Those old blueprints are all in Xiaolan's mind.

Xiaobao's blacksmith shop is a well-known fine workshop. The iron nails and embroidery needles that test the craftsmanship are what Xiaobao is best at.

Xiao Bao, who is only 25 years old, has been in the forging industry for 15 years. He started to learn from a teacher when he was ten years old, and he is now a master craftsman.

Yan Xichen was the inventor of the luminous signboard, so he was already well-known far and wide. Xiao Bao had been looking for an opportunity to contact him, but he never expected that the person he was looking for would come to his door today.

"Mr. Chen, why are you here?" Xiaobao was busy at first, when he saw Yan Xichen enter the door, he immediately handed over the work in hand to the apprentice and came out to greet him in person.

Before Yan Xichen introduced himself, he was recognized by the other party. He was a little surprised, but he didn't care too much, so he said, "I want to settle something."

Xiao Bao is smarter than Xiao Zheng, with strong hands-on ability, he can learn everything in no time, and he is also very flexible in business. He is very good at attracting old customers. Basically, people who have ordered things before will come again.

Xiaobao wanted to sit down and have a good chat with Yan Xichen, so he invited Yan Xichen upstairs.He took off his black apron, reached for the hand towel handed over by his wife, and touched his face. Before he said anything, he asked his wife to make a pot of tea with the best tea in the house.

Yan Xichen didn't have much experience in negotiating business with others, so he was a little restless when he was treated with such kindness from Xiao Bao.

After the tea was served, Xiao Bao began to ask, "What do you want to order?"

Only then did Yan Xichen take out the drawings he drew.

Qixing's straw paper is a very rough colored paper with some black bumps that cannot be removed.

Even though the paper was rough, and even though Yan Xichen's drawing skills were ordinary, the blueprint placed in front of Xiaobao was so startled that Xiaobao almost threw the teacup in his hand.

Xiao Bao had never seen anything on the drawing.In Qi, there is really no such shape, and this is what Yan Xichen has always felt is inconsistent.But around the twentieth century on Earth, this thing was very popular.

what is this?It is "wheel".

There are no "wheels" of any kind.

On the earth, the only form that people find that is not found in nature is the "wheel". It is also accidental to find this thing, because people want to move large stones and use flat logs.

In Qixing, the initial way for people to move things is to rely on natural suspended ore.Seeing that the stones knocked down from the rock wall can float, the ancients of Qixing discovered the secret of the suspended ore.

Just like that, something like a "wheel" passed by the Qixing people.But Yan Xichen has another inference. He still remembers what Xingchen said to him in Chizhu. The "wheel" mentioned by Xingchen is obviously a huge weapon. Is it because he wants to completely obliterate people's desire for the weapon "wheel" Why, Qixing talents don't know the concept of "wheel" at all?

Yan Xichen also hesitated to put the concept of "wheel" into practice, after all, he always felt that his other inference was also reasonable.

But Xiaolan's words dispelled his doubts.

"Anything can be used to benefit people and obliterate people at the same time. If you eat too much, you will die, so your worries are completely mediocre. There is nothing wrong with the wheel itself, and it is the people who only want to use its evil side."

The most frequently used parts of clocks and watches in the [-]th century were gears, which is what Yan Xichen wants Xiaobao to make.

"This is?" Xiaobao put the teacup on the table with trembling hands, and when he picked up the blueprint, his hands were still shaking.

He had long heard that a strange man named Chen Xi had come to Mu Qingcheng, and he had invented a luminous signboard.He wondered excitedly, is this small ring full of teeth in front of him the main part of another masterpiece?

"This thing is called a gear. I want to use it to make some things." Yan Xichen didn't quite understand why Xiaobao was so excited, and said calmly.

"Gear..." Xiaobao repeated the word, as if afraid that he would forget these two words.

"There are several sizes of gears, and there are some other parts." Yan Xichen took out a few more drawings and put them on the table.

Some of the things drawn on those blueprints can be seen by Xiaobao, and some of them are the first time he has seen them.The more he looked, the more excited he became. His excitement did not come from how much wealth these things might bring him, but that he might be witnessing the birth of something that the world had never seen before. This kind of pride belongs to a craftsman. It was what made him feel the most excited.

"Can you do it? These?" Yan Xichen asked.

"If you can do it..., I will definitely make it for you right away." Xiaobao wished he could rush downstairs and start working right now.

"How soon can I get the item? And how much will it cost?"

"How long? I'll stay up all night to make it for you, and it will be almost done tomorrow night. There is no need for money, and I will do it for you for free." Xiao Bao hugged the blueprint excitedly and did not let go.

"Free? That's not good." Yan Xichen said in surprise.

"I do these things for free. Of course, it's not that I have nothing to ask for. I just want to ask you, if I also want you to help me make the luminous signboard, what conditions do I need?" Xiao Bao put forward his request at the right time.

Uh... What are you afraid of, Yan Xichen thought depressingly.It seems that when there is no generator, it should still be feasible to point out Miles' battery.

Because Yan Xichen didn't have any business acumen, he was afraid that he would casually agree to other people's signboards, so he specially told him in advance, "If anyone wants to make this thing, tell them that the condition is to let "Starlight Investment" participate in the shares."

Yan Xichen felt that Lie Huang was similar to his brother, he was very shrewd in his bones, but the major shareholder of Starlight Investment was Lie Huang, not him, so he had to follow the boss's orders.

Yan Xichen didn't say anything directly about Liuhuang's request, he only told Xiaobao: "It's easy to talk about the signboard. Go to the Red V store and find a person named Xiaoding, and he will tell you everything."

Hearing Yan Xichen say "it's easy to talk about the signboard", Xiao Bao's dark cheeks showed a smile that seemed to be shining.

…………

It was already the second day for Liuhuang and Xiaoding to look for work, and this time they finally found the right place.

There is a labor market in Panluo, which is busiest every morning when it is just dawn, and all kinds of skilled and unskilled laborers will gather here, waiting for companies that need to employ people to recruit workers.

They are naturally unskilled. If combat is counted as skill, they are all senior technicians, but Pan Luo's manufacturing industry requires strength and technology, not combat skills.

The three of them, who had just arrived, were dressed in coarse clothes and mixed in the crowd.Instead of rushing to find a job, they observe the situation first.After all, their purpose of working in Panluo is not really to feed their families, but to investigate the real reason why Panluo is so poor and has so many thieves.

According to Akira's knowledge, the two occupations that normal ordinary people would not want to engage in are begging and robbers.

Before reaching out to ask someone for money, one must first crush one's self-esteem. People will never do this kind of thing unless they are forced to a certain extent.Before robbing others, most people will also have a fierce ideological struggle in their hearts, and robbery is a high-risk thing.With luck, you might get it.If you are unlucky, you may lose your life.

If it is not forced by life, normal people hope to rely on their own labor in exchange for income, rather than begging and robbing.

About 90.00% of Panluo's problems are due to the fact that labor can no longer be exchanged for food that fills one's stomach.This is a presumptuous inference, but he doesn't quite understand, what's wrong with it?

There is such a labor market in Panluo, the flow of people is very dense, before [-]:[-] in the morning, basically most of the flow of people dispersed, and most of them were hired away.Is the labor market not operating normally?

The three of them decided to try to find a job by themselves. Some things must be tried by themselves to know what went wrong.

The three of them stood in the line with the most people, and after asking, they found out that this was the interview team of Lightspeed Company.

The speed of light is still the private property of the Feng family, and the line they happen to line up is leading to the place they most want to mix in.

The end of this group of people is connected to a high platform booth, far away, I can only see a few very strong big men standing in front of the high platform.Those who apply for a job can only enter through the gap created by the big man when he moves his body. Only one person can enter at a time.

Even though they were a little far away, he could hear what happened behind those big men.
