Chapter 17

"What business?" Ying Chenlin looked at Shen Xingtang.

"A business that turns waste into treasure." Shen Xingtang said.

Mecha technology is updated very quickly, especially basic materials such as parts. New models are basically launched every year. Especially for those that are replaced frequently, it is normal to change models two or three times a year. Generally speaking, it is common for teams in the Mecha Alliance to replace parts in order to maintain the level of their mecha hardware.

Some of the parts in the A3 warehouse are about to be eliminated.

As long as new parts are put into storage, these old parts can only be sold at a discount to make money.

But now it’s different. The performance of the parts that Ying Chenlin has re-polished is almost the same as the expensive parts on the market. In this case, why should they buy those parts at a high price... ?

“Shen Lin, you may think that using mental power to polish is a small matter.” Shen Xingtang took out the so-called scrap parts and explained: “Parts with this kind of performance have a price of 100,000 to 150,000 yuan in the market.”

Ying Chenlin had expected this before, but after hearing what Shen Xingtang said, he had a new understanding of the current level of mecha hardware. He was a little surprised: "It's higher than I expected."

"Yes, but the point is not just this one." Shen Xingtang said with a smile: "For example, this A-GZ1456, the current market price is 30,000 yuan each, and you alone have increased its profit margin by nearly 100,000 yuan. The scrap parts you mentioned, if you sell them in the alliance now, will cost at least 130,000 yuan each."

"The part that Mr. Xu called just now wants to sell to our KID is 3% less accurate than your junk parts, but he dares to sell it to me for 100,000 yuan, and even wants to raise the price. Besides, this is an A-grade part, not a competition-grade part. There are many non-professional A-grade mecha masters in the Star Alliance, and they also need this type of parts."

Shen Xingtang did not intend to hide it from Ying Chenlin, but explained all the pros and cons: "Do you still think that spiritual power polishing is a trivial matter? Not many maintenance technicians in the alliance have your ability."

Jiang Simiao was still worried about the KID supplier issue before, but now after hearing what Shen Xingtang said, he realized: "So you rejected Boss Xu."

The warehouse was quiet for a moment, and Ying Chenlin spoke after a while: "Are you going to sell these scrap parts?"

"I won't hide it from you. I'm a businessman, so I want to propose a cooperation with you." Shen Xingtang made the pros and cons clear. She was not sure about Ying Chenlin's background, but the most basic thing in discussing cooperation was to be honest. She said bluntly: "Since it is a cooperation, these are not in the KID maintenance technician contract. I can sign a profit-sharing contract with you, and everything will be fine."

Ying Chenlin looked at the serious expression of Shen Xingtang in front of him. In his previous life, he had been involved in parts polishing in the later era when hardware technology was relatively mature. Later, the technology of mecha parts became more and more advanced, and the gap between the commission he earned from polishing and the mature technology was almost the same. Besides, he stayed in the base for a long time, and the materials were provided by KID, so he didn't quite understand the ten-year changes in the parts market.

Polishing parts is just a habit he has before repairing the mecha.

"Can I make a request?" Ying Chenlin asked.

Shen Xingtang's eyes lit up: "You say."

"I don't need a share, but I need materials." Ying Chenlin said, "I hope you can provide me with a channel for A-level mutant materials... I may need a lot of materials in the future."

Shen Xingtang was stunned: "Is that all you want?"

Ying Chenlin nodded: "I need a lot of high-level materials, you have many connections."

Shen Xingtang was stunned. It was obvious that he did not expect Ying Chenlin's request to be so low. "What you said is true. You can tell me if you need materials. I can tell you any way. Not to mention the channels, I can help you get the A-level materials you want. Besides, you are a maintenance technician in our base. It is my job as the boss to prepare materials for you."

Ying Chenlin heard this and readily agreed: "That's fine."

Okay? ! Shen Xingtang didn't know for a moment whether the person in front of her was smart or really ignorant. She was thinking about how to explain the pros and cons to Ying Chenlin, but the other party walked towards another row of shelves next to her.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xingtang asked.

Ying Chenlin walked to the shelf, which he had checked not long ago. He picked up two parts and said, "These two parts are of different models, but you can tell they were made in two different factories."

Shen Xingtang knew that all the goods here were imported by her, and she knew which factory they were from.

"The scrap parts in your hand come from this factory." Ying Chenlin picked up one and pointed to the parts on the other side: "And the one with the highest pass rate is from this factory."

The pass rates are different! ?

"How do you know if these parts have passed the mental polishing standard you mentioned? What are the raw materials of the parts?" Shen Xingtang picked up a few parts and asked one by one.

"It mainly depends on two points." Ying Chenlin thought about this question briefly, "One is the raw materials, and the other is the physical shaping process of the original parts processing. Good raw materials have a large upper limit. For example, A-grade materials can achieve an accuracy of more than 60%, while B-grade materials can only reach 50% at the end, and C-grade is even lower. On this basis, it depends on the process of part processing. The physical shaping step is more important. If something inside the part has been damaged during the physical processing period, then its upper limit is determined."

Simply put, the better the material and the more sophisticated the physical shaping steps, the better the prototype of this type of parts. Just like the parts in Shen Xingtang's warehouse, they are of medium quality, but fortunately the processing plant has good skills, so the upper limit of secondary processing will reach this level.

Ying Chenlin suggested tactfully: "If we can find a factory with good processing technology and low prices, we can save a little more money."

Shen Xingtang immediately understood the key point here. She thought for a moment before speaking: "I really want to ask you a question?"

Ying Chenlin looked at him suspiciously.

Shen Xingtang asked seriously: "Did we know each other before?"

Ying Chenlin met her eyes, and before he could finish his words, Shen Xingtang had already replied, patting Ying Chenlin on the shoulder: "I feel that you look familiar, especially like my long-lost brother."

"Come on, I'll show you

Go to the factory and I will get you any materials you want. ”

I saw two people walking into the deeper part and pushing away the cart carrying the scrap parts.

Jiang Simiao didn't know why, but he always felt that what these two people were discussing about making money might not be a trivial matter. He sighed and was about to follow to see what was going on when his computer started to buzz.

He stopped and suddenly remembered something: "Wait a minute, Xingtang! The matter about the new gun mecha..."

-

Elsewhere on Sirius, Boss Xu was furious after the call was hung up. He never expected that Shen Xingtang would hang up on him. It was obvious that KID was in great need of spare parts and he was just using DE as an excuse to raise the price. The market was so difficult to do business in and the Banute contaminated area was also closed, so what was wrong with raising the price?

"Does Boss Shen want to leave us out in the cold?" the younger brother asked.

Boss Xu snorted coldly, "She's leaving us alone? Shen Xingtang thought KID was that famous? She only got two energy crystals from the contaminated area. If she wasn't short of money, would she have sold the mecha farm? Or rented out the building?"

The younger brother nodded and said, "I saw on Star Online that Xu Yaojun went to DE. Doesn't that mean KID won't have enough players for next season?"

Boss Xu was surprised: "Is this true?"

"Yes, DE just officially announced it today." The younger brother showed him the computer.

Boss Xu glanced at him and said, "No wonder she tried every possible way to lower the price. Now that she is short of a mecha technician, she has to spend money to sign a mecha technician to make up the number."

He felt relieved: "Just wait, Shen Xingtang will come back to beg me."

On the Starnet, KID has been in the limelight in the Dawn Galaxy recently.

Shortly after they won two energy crystals in the Banute contaminated area with a smaller force, there was a small stir online because of the battle video in Banute. The DE base team, which was at the center of the storm, had to officially announce Xu Yaojun in advance, which caused widespread discussion among the netizens.

Xu Yaojun transferred to DE, which is KID's mortal enemy.

Everyone was waiting for the two teams to fight, but they didn't expect that everything would be calm for several days.

【KID is so quiet. 】

[DE hasn’t released any news recently, but their team seems to be well prepared. It’s great to have money. 】

【KID, don’t you have any ambition? The guard mecha that Banutri saw that day was pretty good, and so was the gun. 】

[The Guards won't sign, KID already has a Guards mecha, and signing another one would be a duplication, and they don't even have a maintenance technician. 】

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, they turned their attention to the official announcements of the various teams or the news about the transfer period... After looking around, they didn't see KID signing a mecha pilot from anywhere. As the transfer period was about to end, netizens who were waiting for news got tired of waiting and went to KID's post to urge him, but no other news came out.

At the same time, at the [Swift Wind] base in the Dawn Galaxy of the First Star Region.

"Have you seen what's going on at Banute?" Zhao Lejie got off the mecha, his muscular body outlined under his wet clothes. "KID's Xu Yaojun is gone. Didn't you think KID's people were good last season? Why didn't you go over to sign them?"

On the other side of the training room, the man in a suit looked at him and said, "I went there, but I didn't find anything. I'm not interested in Xu Yaojun."

"I know you are interested in their front row." Zhao Lejie wiped the sweat off his forehead. He still remembered a match against KID last season. They had fought with KID's front row and were almost defeated.

There are three people in the front row of KID, Huo Yan's tank mecha, Lin Yao's guard mecha and Ji Qingfeng's stealth mecha. After the incident with KID came out, their base wanted to sign KID's front row trio to the second team, but it seems that the plan did not succeed.

"KID's front line looks messy, but in fact it is a rare combination of offense and defense. It's a pity that there is a useless gunner and mecha in the team. It's a good thing that Xu Yaojun left." Zhao Lejie said: "If it is replaced with the gunner and mecha in the video, I feel it is very good. KID will have something to do next season."

The man in the suit lowered his eyes and looked at the video playing on the computer. It was a short battle clip in the Banut contaminated area. "The guns are indeed powerful, but he didn't show many details. It's hard to tell who it is."

Zhao Lejie came over to take a look and found that the object locked on the video was actually the guard mecha. "Boss, why are you looking at this?"

"This guard is very strong." The man in the suit is Qi Sicheng, the captain of the Gale Team. He looked at him for a while and then said, "And I always feel that his operation style is very strange."

Zhao Lejie asked curiously, "Why is it strange?"

Qi Sicheng pointed at a part of the operation and said, "Rather than saying that the Guards Mecha and the Gunner Mecha are cooperating to suppress, it looks more like the Guards Mecha is constantly avoiding the Gunner Mecha's sniper cannon."

"Hide?" Zhao Lejie was surprised.

Qi Sicheng said: "Yes, he is hiding. He is not cooperating with others, but treating his teammates as enemies. He is hiding from the enemy and also hiding from his teammates."

"His overall vision is very impressive, but his play style is very unique. Just watching this video, I can't find any flaws in his play... It was clearly a team fight, but he played like a single soldier."

-

Somewhere on Sirius, You Su was sitting in a coffee shop, with the light computer in his hand also looping a video clip from the Banute contaminated area. After he finished watching one clip and wanted to cut to the next one, he found that the video resource had been cleared.

"He hid really quickly." You Su commented indifferently.

At this moment, the mecha key around his neck shook, and a playful electronic sound rang out.

"Of course, this is a pervert who can 100% avoid your sniper cannon." The electronic voice said happily: "The last person who said he wanted to cooperate with you so confidently had half of his mecha blown away by our cannon."

You Su drank half a cup of coffee and said in a calm tone: "Why are you talking so much after a full meal?"

"I'm not full yet!" The electronic voice continued, "You Su, I've already spotted the next contaminated area, which is near Sirius. This time we will definitely find the materials we want!"

"Let's talk about it later. Your disability is none of my business." Just as You Su finished speaking, he suddenly saw a message from Shen Xingtang pop up above the light brain.

He opened the message interface and was about to reject Shen Xingtang's invitation, but found that Shen Xingtang had sent him a short video.

In the video, a labeled part is inspected multiple times by the inspection machine.

When he saw the performance display, You Su's eyes showed a bit of doubt. He looked at it carefully for a while, and when he was about to look away, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the edge of the video.

There was a person standing there.

His face was not captured in the shot, but his right hand was hanging down, emitting a cold mechanical light.

[Oops, I sent it to the wrong person. This is the correct one. ]

Soon, the video was withdrawn and replaced by another video sent by Shen Xingtang.

The video is a warm-up for the next season of the Dawn Galaxy League, and ends with a preview of the season championship rewards.

[I can tell you from the grapevine that the reward for next season’s champion is an S-level supernatural crystal. What do you think? Are you interested in playing in the league this time? ]

The author has something to say:

I wish KID a big business, and Boss Shen will give everyone some red envelopes~

See you tomorrow~
