A Community with a Shared Future in a Multidimensional World

"This is the Arsenal! No smoking!"

"...I'm so sorry."

While apologizing to Luo Ji, Arugal scratched his head and continued.

"My old friend also showed me the lighter produced by your company. The one in his hand is still a limited edition of your company. It is like the one with the bullet shot from the side and the bullet embedded in it. To be honest, you guys The designer is really a genius, making that gadget look like a sexy stunner. Any man will fall in love with it. If he didn't hear that the limited edition cost 50000 Canadian dollars, to be honest, I would Want to buy one."

"Fifty thousand Gallian dollars??!! Just to buy a lighter??!!!!"

This time, it was Itdie who sighed.

And when all the team members looked at her, Yi Di coughed dryly to cover up her embarrassment.

But fortunately, Laluga didn't care about these things, and just continued talking.

"Yes, 50000 Gallian dollars, and even if you have money, it's hard to buy. Most of the limited edition lighters will be reserved by various nobles before they go on the market. According to the rumors I heard last time, there was a small The thief got a low-end limited-edition lighter with an original price of 10000 Gallia from some unlucky little nobleman, but when the lighter was sold on the black market, the price had already been raised to an exaggerated 60000 Gallia Yuan, it can be seen that this thing is in short supply.”

While talking, Laluga almost wanted to light a cigarette, but immediately gave up after noticing Luo Ji who was staring at him.

"In short, except for the non-limited edition lighters, all the limited edition lighters in their company were sold out on the first day of sale, and even the non-limited edition lighters were priced at 1000 gallias. One yuan."

"My God, you men must be crazy to pay 1000 Gallian dollars for something that can only be used to light a fire."

Regarding Itti's comments, Lalugao counterattacked.

"You women are crazier than us when you see their limited edition hats. Miss Cecilia's outfit is more than 20 Gallia dollars. Her hat is similar to the hat that is now sold in specialty stores. It’s more than 2000 Gallian dollars. Just like you women can’t refuse their company’s hats, I don’t think men can refuse their company’s lighters.”

"Women snatching their hats are indeed much crazier than you men snatching their lighters."

Luo Ji, who was beside Laluga, covered her face as if recalling some unbearable past.

And the comments made by the two were so subtle that the group of ladies present could not refute.

Fortunately, SAT8 once again saved the cold field.

"Hahaha, it seems that Mr. Lalugao has a high opinion of our company's lighters, I will give you one if I have a chance, and Miss Luo Ji, if you like our company's hats, I can also give you one. "

"...Huh?? I can't accept such an expensive gift, it's too outrageous..."

The two immediately rejected it as if they were frightened, but this is not to blame for Lalugao and Luo Ji. You must know that the monthly income of an ordinary Galia skilled craftsman is only about 100 Gallia dollars. To give someone a gift worth thousands of Gallian dollars is almost as outrageous as a friend who is only acquainted with you in the main world and wants to give you a gift of forty to fifty thousand dollars. Normal people would reject it.

Moreover, after the rejection, Laluga scratched his head dejectedly and continued.

"Besides, I remember that your company's lighters must use the flints and kerosene specially provided by your company. I can't afford to use them if you give them to me."

Laluga still remembers that his old friend also planned to give a lighter to Laluga who couldn’t put it down, but when he learned that this thing would consume flint and kerosene, he simply refused, because the flint Packed in a very beautiful and small plastic container, the price of 5 flints is 100 Gallian dollars, as for the special kerosene, a can of 200 Gallian dollars.

To put it bluntly, the price of the follow-up consumables far exceeded his affordability.

Chapter 191 Chapter 180 One Culture Infiltration ([-])

While talking, Laluga suddenly changed the topic to Luo Ji as if he remembered something.

"Speaking of which, Luo Ji, the song you often hum recently seems to be from that specialty store, too?"

Hearing Lalugo mention this matter, Luo Ji sighed instead.

"Yes, but they don't sell records in the store, so I only have the opportunity to go there every time I go back to the capital to see if I can hear the song, and I still don't know the name of the song."

After a slight pause, Luo Ji turned to SAT8.

"But Miss SAT8, if you are an employee of Griffin, maybe you know the title of the song?"

"Huhu~ Hum a few words for me?"

So Luo Ji cleared her throat and hummed a few words casually.

"This is "Half-Curved Moon"."

"Is it called "Half-Curved Moon"... Is this singer also from your company?"

"That's not it."

After hearing this answer, Luo Ji seemed a little disappointed, and immediately cheered up again.

"So can your company sell his records?"

"Uh... the commander said it's still a bit troublesome, so only our store can try it out recently."

This time, Luo Ji could really see the disappointment.

As for Xiao Yun, since the song "She Came to Listen to My Concert" made a big splash last time, she has actually considered exporting records here, but in 2020, all LP record players are audiophiles, so the price is outrageous. Having said that, the output is still very low, and the corresponding LPs cannot be bought for many music.

Moreover, another key issue is that the LP films in 2020 are all stereo dual-track versions, while the world of Valkyrie Battlefield is all old-fashioned monophonic record players, so if you really want to do this business, you have to start from In 2020, I will contact a few companies that manufacture record players. If we want to do this, it is tantamount to a small business.

To put it bluntly, this matter seems quite simple, but the supporting facilities required to do it are too troublesome. The various export products that Xiao Yun is busy with now have a much higher priority than this, so the export of records and supporting equipment The matter was put on hold indefinitely.

As for why Xiao Yun is so familiar with the LP set, because Xiao Yun herself is an audiophile.

"Compared to these, have you ever tasted the snacks of Griffin Company? Among Griffin's products, those items can be barely afforded by a very small number of ordinary people, right? And those snacks Alicia, you and Ysera I ate it too."

"elder brother."

At this time, Wilkin noticed the crowd gathered here, and Wilkin walked over at some point.

However, Alicia is taken aback by Wilkin's sudden appearance.

"Wilkin?!...Snacks? I don't remember, when did I eat it??"

Regarding Alicia's question, Wilkin immediately explained.

"It was the dinner we went to that day. Many of the small desserts at the banquet were from Griffin's company, Alicia, didn't you eat a lot of those strange dried fruits?"

"Huh?? Is that strange dried fruit from Griffin? I thought it was from Gallia...and..."

While talking, Alicia noticed something.

"And, Wilkin, how did you find out that the dried fruit was from Griffin?"

But Alicia's question was quickly answered.

"Because I had never tasted or seen a strange fruit in Alicia, so I asked someone I knew and found out that the snacks that night were also provided by Griffin."

"Is that so? I quite like the taste of those dried fruits, but Wilkin, you said that ordinary people can barely afford it...?"

"Yeah, you ate a lot of packages of that dried fruit that night, and then I went to find out about 20 gallian dollars a package."

"...Eh???? Eh????!!! Is it so expensive?"

"Yes, but although it is expensive, it is one of the few products that ordinary people can barely afford."

"No, no, no... I can't imagine myself spending nearly half a month's salary on a pack of 100g snacks..."

Regarding Wilkin's statement, Alicia immediately denied it, and then continued to speak.

"However, apart from some exotic fruits, the other fruits are also very common. Why are they so expensive..."

"Perhaps the main problem is the production method? The crunchy taste is indeed not tasted elsewhere."

Although it was a guess, Wilkin’s guess was quite correct. The actual processing technology of dried fruit is puffing processing. The processing technology of puffed food was only born in the main world in the 60s. Because of Lagnite energy, the point is faster, and it is impossible to make a craft born more than 20 years in advance.

"However, according to what Wilkin and you just said, the goods of this Griffin are so expensive, why would the nobles still buy them as if they don't want money..."

At this time, Luo Ji joked jokingly.

"Maybe it's because these nobles only buy the most expensive and not the best?"

However, Luo Ji's ridicule, Lalugao put forward his own views.

"Although there are reasons for this, it is undeniable that Griffin's products are not comparable to those made by Gallia in terms of quality and quality, and I guess you don't know that as long as the products made by Griffin are not intentionally damaged by customers, They both offer long-term warranty replacement. Like that little cigarette lighter.”

After a slight pause, Laluga continued.

"The purchase certificate of the lighter Griffin Company attached to the lighter... called the 'warranty card' has a very clear clause on it, as long as it is tested by their company and it is proved that the damage is not intentional, including carvings They will replace all problems including the situation of being worn out. Although my friend has not used this service, according to the nobles who have used it, the service is very considerate. Not only will you replace the exact same lighter, but even because of Griffin will also provide valuable compensation to customers for the trouble caused by their product problems.”

"It's worth a lot?"

"My friend said that the aristocrat got a limited-edition cigarette from Griffin as an apology."

"Ah, that tobacco rod, I have seen many nobles using it."

"Yes, the cheapest one starts at 2000 Gallian dollars, which is higher than the price of ordinary lighters, let alone limited editions."

"But... Laluga, who is your mysterious friend..."

"Ah... an old comrade who participated in the last world war with me, and he made a lot of money in business after the war..."

Here, as soon as Laluga finished speaking, Itti picked it up.

"Also, what you said is not the most outrageous thing. The most outrageous thing is that once a nobleman broke a floor-to-ceiling mirror of Griffin Company that was taller than a person when he was trying on clothes in Griffin Company."

Alicia immediately gasped when she heard a few keywords from the one-man tall floor-to-ceiling mirror.

"My God?! A floor-to-ceiling mirror that is as tall as a person, so you have to pay hundreds of thousands of Gallian dollars, right?"

"However, the ending was very unexpected. Compared with the mirror, it is said that Griffin's employees on the scene were more concerned about whether the guests were injured. After confirming that the guests were not injured and that they did not intentionally damage it, they were exempted from compensation."

"Huh????!! Exempt???"

"Yes, it was exempted, and this matter was even published in the newspaper..."

As for why the members of the [-]th team know that the price of a floor-to-ceiling mirror with a height of one person is more than [-] Gallian dollars, the reason is not that they know Griffin’s pricing strategy, but the material of a floor-to-ceiling mirror with a height of one person in this period The cost itself is terribly high. To explain this part, we have to mention the development history of flat glass.

Historically, it took a lot of time for glass to evolve from glaze to glass to remove impurities, and even if there is a way to remove impurities later, in fact, glass products made based on glass blowing technology have solved the problem of turning glass into containers. But still can't solve the problem of how to make flat glass.

It wasn't until later that the clever workers began to think of making a barrel-shaped container, and then blowing out the glass in the container by blowing, removing the arcs at both ends, and then returning to the furnace to heat and flatten, a relatively flat piece can be obtained. plate glass.

Then, on the eve of the industry, the die-casting method was born, which is to use a roller on a smooth workbench to repeatedly roll the molten glass, but the glass produced by the die-casting method or the blowing method is not smooth enough, and During the cooling process, a large number of ripples will be formed. Since then, various flat glass manufacturing methods have been improved on the basis of this approximate pinching of plasticine, and the essence has not changed much. Therefore, the way to obtain a perfect flat glass in this period is Rely on grinding, so even in this era, even if machines have finally begun to replace manual grinding, the price of flat glass is still expensive.

Finally, it was not until the invention of float production in 1958 that there was finally a large piece of perfect flat glass that was cheap and could be mass-produced quickly.If this history does not explain, it is estimated that many people will not know that the common large pieces of flat glass were born later than the first artificial satellite.

Therefore, in the world of Valkyries on the battlefield, which is basically still in the period of suppression law, the price of a whole piece of floor-to-ceiling mirror that is higher than a person can be imagined.

At this time, the discussion also began to slowly shift from Griffin's products to urban legends caused by various Griffin's after-sales services.

So, while everyone was attracted by the distracted topic, SAT8 chatted with Ysera alone.

"This invitation is from our commander. You can meet with our commander first to discuss whether you will study with us in the future. Is Miss Ysera interested in accepting the invitation?"

"Huh??? Is that the commander you always hear about SAT8 and Ms. M1887? Has he come to the Principality of Gallia?"

"Uh... Miss Ysera, you will know this question when you go there. In short, are you interested in this invitation?"

Ysera looked at the smiling SAT8 and the invitation letter back and forth several times through the glasses, and when she was hesitating, she stretched out a hand and patted her on the shoulder.
