Chapter 8 Heavenly Being, Heart Glaze, Lord Sword Robe
  In Haitang at that time, the war had not yet spread to the country, and prices were relatively stable. At the Hengyuan Vegetable Market north of Tianrenfang, a pound of fine pork belly sells for between twenty-five and thirty yuan. The monthly salary of a patrolman wearing a red hat on the street is about four hundred yuan, and that of an ordinary citizen The income is slightly lower than this figure.

In sharp contrast to the difficult livelihood of the people, the remuneration for intellectuals and senior electrocardiologists is frighteningly high. Take Jiangnan Normal School, where Gu Jianqiu graduated, as an example. A sixth-level teaching assistant can often get a salary of more than 2,000 yuan in winter and summer. There are also about four to five hundred yuan in various subsidies during the quarter, which is very decent. As for the various teachers and principals hired by the university, their salaries can easily reach over 10,000 yuan! With legitimate income alone, it only takes a few years to buy a good three-bedroom house in a high-end area in Jiangning.

Eighty thousand yuan is money that many people cannot earn in their lifetime.

After walking out of Hualong Shanbing's store, Gu Jianqiu frowned and walked thoughtfully on the crossroads of Hotel Street. At first glance, he looked like a male student who had just lost his love.

What is that evil-colored electrocardiogram...

Gu Jianqiu suddenly remembered that before the final decisive battle with the Japanese mother, the director of the local ECG research center had risked his life to send him an ECG sample. Although it was no longer of much help in the war, that unique ECG sample Gu Jianqiu still recorded the electrical fluctuations.

Does it have anything to do with that ECG sample?
  Even on the eve of the almost destruction of the mother planet, humans knew very little about Liuyutian, and were even confused about how it spread. Thinking of the horror of this cosmic spirituality that almost wiped out the extremely developed human civilization in later generations, Gu Jianqiu felt unspeakable irritation in his heart.

Just as he was thinking, Gu Jianqiu's eyes were suddenly covered by shadows. He raised his head. Standing in front of him was an extremely tall figure, about two and a half meters tall. His skin was a clear crystal blue. He was wearing a close-fitting black robe, with hair and Even his eyebrows are empty, and his face is wearing a pair of expensive Yamani lenses, making it difficult to judge his age.

Heavenly man.

"Is there something on my face?"

Tianren, who was staring at the billboard, noticed Gu Jianqiu's gaze, lowered his head and smiled.

Jixiang is one of the most widely distributed and powerful deities [Buddhas] among the twenty-eight constellations. The technology of righteous breeding that is now popular among humans first came from Jixiang people.

"sorry."

Gu Jianqiu nodded in greeting and then walked around him.

The other party didn't pay attention. He seemed to be used to human eyes on him, and continued to read the promotional sign of Huo Yanling's pictorial attentively. Wearing a robe, he stood in the center of the cross street, like a statue.

Gu Jianqiu came to a photo studio and spent 20 cents to take four ID photos. He asked the boss for glue and pasted them on the work ID card that Tom Chen gave him. Then he took the tram to the industrial zone in the suburbs. Several large-scale civilian aircraft manufacturers and metallurgical plants are located here.

After searching for a long time, Gu Jianqiu finally walked into a door with a plaque that read "Sanhexin".

"Hello, Sanhexin Iron Works."

A waiter hurriedly came to entertain him, and Gu Jianqiu handed over the work permit he had just prepared: "I am a single soldier of Hualong. My boss's surname is Chen. I need five hundred heart glaze tubes and two hundred kilograms of raw heart glaze ore with a purity of 95%. I can make it." What?"

The guy blinked and smiled wider: "You take a sip of tea first, and I'll call our manager over."

About a quarter of an hour later, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked in, wiping his sweat, and shouted: "Boss Chen is the one who paints dragons alone! You can make five hundred heart-glazed tubes!"

"Hello."

He grabbed Gu Jianqiu's hand as soon as he came in. He noticed that his hand was still sweaty, so he pulled it back with some embarrassment. He wiped his hands on his chest and said with a local Jiangning accent: "I'm sorry, my surname is He. He Zaisheng." ,What's your name."

"My surname is Gu, Gu Jianqiu."

"Brother Gu, you are right to come to us! Although Sanhexin is not a time-honored brand in Jiangning, the quality of its products is definitely no worse than that of any major metallurgical factory. Our blast furnaces and equipment are all purchased from Zijing Heavy Industry at a high price. Bought it. Does Zi Jing Heavy Industry know about it?"

His face glowed red and he patted his chest.

Of course Gu Jianqiu believed in the quality of Sanhexin's products. In the next thirty years, this metallurgical factory defeated the nationally renowned Haitang national brand Zijing Heavy Industry and became the industry leader. The boss behind the scenes became one of the most influential in Jiangning. A character worthy of leaving his name in the history of Haitang's contemporary industry, Longpi Taibao was nothing compared to the industrialist who later became known as the "Lord of the Sword Robe".

But now Sanhexin looks really embarrassed.

"I want to see a sample."

Gu Jianqiu made a request.

"Of course, of course. Come on."

With that said, Manager He led Gu Jianqiu to the workshop with an attentive attitude.

Heart glaze is an important raw material for the magic machine. It is known as the nerve center of the magic machine industry. Almost all the magic machine manufacturing is inseparable from this important material. Its main function is to manufacture the conductive beams and coatings of the electrocardiogram. For example, on the operating table that Gu Jianqiu worked on this morning, the two electric post rings and the circuits in the inner core all used this material called heart glaze.

Needless to say, in Jiangning, metallurgy was one of the pillar industries of the Haitang Empire at that time. Especially when it comes to refining high-purity heart glaze, Haitang's technical level is one of the best in all human countries. Although the Citi Nation and the Golden Chrysanthemum Nation have been chasing each other fiercely over the years, coupled with the insufficient supply of raw materials from several ancient stars, Haitang's reputation as the number one metallurgical country in mankind has been crumbling, but the inertia and first-mover advantage brought by hundreds of years of trade have not It's not that easy to eliminate.

Gu Jianqiu picked up a heart glaze tube and held it in his hand.

"The diameter is about 66mm and the length is about 300mm. Very standard civilian heart glaze specifications."

He secretly thought.

As if remembering something, Gu Jianqiu showed a nostalgic smile on his face.

"How about it?"

"If you can make heart-glazed tubes of this standard, I believe your factory has the ability to meet this order."

"of course."

The smile on the manager's face became even brighter. Sanhexin is a newly established metallurgical factory. It cannot take orders from those old factories. Instead, it is these foreign military factories with Citi background. Sanhexin has a good chance of poaching. Hualong Each of the best-selling exo-armor skeleton series for individual soldiers consumes at least a dozen heart-glaze tubes, which is a long-term business.

"When can I get the goods?"

"Two months. But in terms of price, our standards are the same as Zijing Industry, with a 10% deposit. How about it?"

Gu Jianqiu shook his head: "If this is the case, I might as well go to Zijing Industry. Why do I have to come to you?"

"Then how much do you say?"

"I don't have to pay back the unit price, but the maximum deposit is 5%, and the rest will be paid on delivery."

"This one……"

Gu Jianqiu didn't even look at the other person, and picked up another orange-yellow raw ore to look at it.

"Okay. Just 5%. I'll place an order for you right now."

He Zaishan made the decision immediately. The conditions were much more relaxed than he expected.

He told his clerk something. After a while, the clerk came back with a newly printed receipt and handed it to He Zaishan, who handed it to Gu Jianqiu with both hands.

"The total price is one hundred and eighty thousand four thousand and five hundred yuan."

The deposit was about fifty thousand, which was about the same as Gu Jianqiu expected.

The price of products such as heart glaze has been rising and falling with the fluctuations in the raw material market. Two months later, Gu Jianqiu can take delivery of the goods directly in Sanhexin with this note and the remaining money.

While waiting for the handover procedure, which lasted about a pot of tea, He Zaisheng was already chatting and laughing with Gu Jianqiu, as if the two were good friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

"Manager He, I have another request." Gu Jianqiu pointed to these samples: "I want to take these back to my boss for inspection. Is it okay?"

"Of course, of course. This is what it should be. If there are any problems with Sanhexin. You can come to me at any time and I will leave you a phone number."

As he spoke, he copied a note and stuffed it into Gu Jianqiu's pocket.

Gu Jianqiu noticed that in addition to the phone number in his pocket, He Zhengsheng also stuffed a roll of colorful banknotes into his pocket. He touched it and found about five or six hundred yuan. His expression was complicated for a moment.

"Brother Gu, call me when you have time."

He Zaishan patted Gu Jianqiu's shoulder angrily.

After saying goodbye to He Zhengsheng, Gu Jianqiu put away the fifty thousand yuan worth of bills. It was already around four or five o'clock in the afternoon. Counting the time to rush back, he was just in time for dinner. When he thought of his family, Gu Jianqiu felt much happier. , leaving all the worries behind for a moment, and walked towards home.
