Shenyin Shanhaijing

Chapter 85 Dinosaur Playing Barbell
The woman said perfunctorily: "This kind of equipment needs to be specially customized. I don't know the price."

Lu Cheng said, "I can pay the reservation first!"

"Sir, are you serious?"

"Of course it is serious. If your company doesn't do it, I will find another company. Someone will always do it."

"Then you make a deposit of 10 yuan first. To open a mold for you separately, and to choose lead-copper alloy, the cost is relatively high."

"What material is a normal barbell?"

"alloy steel."

"Is the lead-copper barbell strong? Will it break if you drop it?"

"It's not made of mud. It's as strong as a shot put. How could it break?"

.........

At Shuanghe Fitness Equipment Co., Ltd. in Botou, Hebei Province, the former telephone receptionist was sick and asked for leave. The manager assistant Lu Xin answered the call. She received a reservation payment of 10 yuan, and she felt incredible.

She took the recorded data and handed it to the company manager Hu Chang.

"Manager, someone requested special customization! Looking at the data, how should it be produced? How should it be priced?"

Hu Chang is not very old, about 35 or [-] years old. After reading the data, he widened his eyes and shouted, "Do you dare to accept such a request?"

Lu Xin said: "He has already called to make a reservation!"

"Who is that?"

"The person who placed the order is named 'Lu Cheng' and the address is Daicheng..."

"Can I look up the name?"

"What is he doing?"

"I suspect that he used barbells and dumbbells as murder weapons, rolled down the mountain, destroyed vehicles and killed pedestrians."

"We are not from the Public Security Bureau. Why do we care so much?"

"Guaranteeing social stability and unity is the duty of every citizen."

"Wait a minute, I think the name Lu Cheng is a little familiar to me, maybe it's not an ordinary person... Come to think of it, in this year's Olympic Trials, an outstanding male contestant emerged, who got three qualifications, and his name is 'Lu Cheng' Cheng'! Could it be this person? They are all from Daicheng!"

"This is too evil! Can a 5000-kilogram barbell be played by humans?"

"Manager, since the other party called for an advance payment, let's make it for him! I think it's a good thing! Although we can't mention his name, so as not to infringe on reputation and portrait rights, we can hype our equipment."

"Yeah, there's a lot of hype to be said about 'barbells for dinosaurs.'"

"Since we want to open the mold, we can simply make several more, and make all 1000 kg, 2000 kg ... 5000 kg, and promote it as an 'all-round, all-field' device. Even if no one buys it, it can be placed in the exhibition hall. Propaganda!"

Soon, the company's website and online stores on Taobao, JD.com, and Pinduoduo launched advertisements for "Machine Made for Dinosaurs"!The gimmick drew crowds of shoppers.

"Is the manufacturer crazy?"

"In order to gain popularity, we will do everything we can!"

"A barbell with a maximum weight of 5000 kilograms? Who is this for?"

"There is also a treadmill with a speed of 200 kilometers per hour! Is this to test a sports car?"

"The speed of the usual treadmill is only 16-18 kilometers per hour. 200 kilometers, it's too abnormal, is it really for dinosaurs?"

"I heard that when the aura is revived, the dinosaurs will also be revived..."

"How can there be spiritual recovery? You read too many novels!"

"That's true! My dad works in the Suzhou Provincial Public Security Bureau, and there have been a lot of strange murders recently... Not to mention anything else, just in the past six months, there have been 5 prison escapes across the country, which would never have been possible in previous years! Five or six The meter-high wall, 'swish' over it... Prisons are being reformed everywhere..."

"The train accident not long ago was caused by ants biting the pier. It is said that the end of the world is coming!"

Lu Cheng only waited for half a month before receiving the specially made equipment.For this reason, he made a final payment.

He told the manufacturer: "Please keep the mold, I will buy another set in a few months."

He wanted to wait for Quancheng to buy a house before getting another set of equipment and putting it in.

Hu Chang, the manager, replied: "Haha, don't worry! The mold will be kept for a long time. Since the advertisement went out, we have received unexpected orders and sold several sets of 800 kg barbells and a set of 1000 kg barbells. If things go on like this, how do you know that a 2000-kilogram barbell won’t be sold in a few years’ time?”

2000 kg refers to the upper limit of the barbell. Reducing the barbell pieces can reduce the weight.

Lu Cheng thought to himself: "It seems that with the recovery of spiritual energy, some strong men were born!"

In the next few days, he received consecutive calls from Li Hong, saying that he had negotiated endorsement deals with several companies!

Some time ago, because of Tian Feifei's malicious attack and the suspicion of doping involved, many manufacturers did not want to cause trouble.After Concubine Tian lost the lawsuit twice, and Lu Cheng qualified for three Olympic Games, his net worth soared, and there were many people who wanted to speak for him.

After negotiations and struggles between Li Hong and Huang Guangjing, three large-scale companies were selected. The endorsement fee was more than 1500 million, and the highest was "Xtep". There is a note, if Lu Cheng wins the Olympic marathon championship, the endorsement fee will double; if he wins the 2500-meter championship again, the endorsement fee will quadruple, that is [-] million!This is just a one-year endorsement bonus!
Athletics is the king of sports. It is different from table tennis and weightlifting. Winning any Olympic champion in the marathon or [-] meters is comparable to a superstar!

As the signing money entered Lu Cheng's account one after another, he had more than enough money to buy a house in Quancheng, so he was not in a hurry to sell those bracelets, face rings and necklaces.

Because of soaring prices, saving money is not as good as saving goods.Similar to buying real estate, the value of real estate has increased rapidly in the past few years, which is much higher than depositing money in the bank; depositing jade has the same effect, with an annual increase of 20-30%, and sometimes 100% in one year.For example, Hetian jade, in 2004, the price of first-grade white jade seed material was 6 to 8 yuan per kilogram; in 2021, it was 2 to 3 yuan per gram;
Moreover, he is also planning to buy a jade micro-carving machine to try to engrave runes on the bottom of the ring or pendant. If it succeeds, the jade will change from a simple ornament to a magic weapon, such as a storage ring, and its value will rise to the sky .

His current skill is too low, and he is in the stage of keeping a low profile.In time, if one's skills are improved to a certain level, it might be possible to sell jade talismans publicly!
Thinking of this, Lu Cheng placed an order online, bought a jade micro-carving machine, and cut Russian blue and white jade.

He cut the green and white jade into thin slices, and then machine-carved it with a CNC multifunctional jade engraving machine.

The first rune he chose was the word "empty".

According to the great shaman and shaman, the most common characters on storage rings are the first character 'kong', the second character 'xu', the third character 'liu', and the fourth character 'kuo'. What else is behind, the shaman doesn't know either.

After the rune was engraved, he stuck the jade piece on his forehead, and vaguely saw a circular space inside, with a diameter of only one foot.

Despite this, Lu Cheng was still very happy: "Not bad! I never thought it would be so easy to make a storage space!"

Later, he tried to carve another word "Xu" on the back of the jade piece.

However, before the characters were carved, there was a crisp sound of "click", and the jade piece was broken!It seems that the jade slips are too thin.
