Chapter 47: Zhao Demu
More than ten days passed, Lu Chong said goodbye to Su Jianzhu and left Liuyunzhou, and returned to the backyard of the old house west of Songyang City.
Although it was two years before his coming-of-age ceremony, Lu Chong still sorted out the current chaos. First, it was the production of flying objects of wooden tools. This is a development direction for exploring the combination of carving and assembly of wooden tools. It is also the highest level of wooden tools to be studied and pursued in the future, so we must focus more on this.
The second is the sale of finished wooden instruments, which can obtain huge commercial wealth and allow you to have a large amount of resources at your disposal to help you improve your own strength. At the same time, it can also promote your skills in wooden instruments. This step has been started by Zhong Baihua, advancing and controlling.
Again, the integration of various sales channels has been established within the Liuyun Prefecture through the alliance between Zhong Baihua, Gao Lanfeng and Su Yunxiu. In the future, small families will be added to other prefectures and cities. As long as you continue to develop and innovate various flying objects, you will continue to bring effects.
What Lu Chong immediately had to do was to find some machine-making partners and collect them together for assembly, so that he could not only contact the woodworking master, but also distract the attention of the Lu family, and he ultimately controlled the key to assembly.
There is also the practice of the left leg vein technique, which is something that must be done every night. Since the success of the double-handed meridian can allow the Jade Finger Art to concentrate the ultimate strength of the fingers, Lu Chong also wanted to see the ultimate situation of the sweeping leg method after the successful double-leg vein, so Lu Chong's practice is very serious and hard-working.
In the end, what made Lu Tong bored was the matter between Zhong Baihua and Su Yunxiu. In fact, this has always been his biggest weakness, his hazy, nervous and fear of feelings. Although this world can allow those with strong power to have many women, Lu Tong still has a resistance in his heart. Now he has to let go for the time being. Only time can accumulate valuable things.
After thinking, Lu Tong found Lu Kai on the next day for negotiation and asked Lu Kai to contact some skilled carving and assembly personnel in private to make large quantities of samples of the machine films produced by Lu Tong. Lu Kai happily agreed to such a private transaction.
Then everything was running in the predetermined way. Through Zhong Baihua's collection of wood materials and simple machine films, a large number of more complex machine films made by Lu Kai and others were concentrated in Lu Chong's hands. Lu Chong put the most complex and critical machine films he made together and began to assemble various wooden flying objects. In this way, a large number of small flying objects were quickly assembled. These flying objects were coordinated by Zhong Ao and distributed to various places by the Changxing Escort Agency, and then sold through the commercial relationship established by Su Yunxiu. In a short time, it was spread on the markets of the entire Liuyunzhou city.
One day two months later, Lu Chong quietly left Songyang City, passed Qinghe City, and then walked northward, and finally arrived at Rizhao City, which made people feel mysterious.
On a long street in the south of the city, in a not-so-open shop, two friends were busy, handing strings of wooden beads to customers who came to the store to buy. The strings of bracelets consisting of ten wooden beads. On the surface, the strings of wooden beads were just a string of ordinary decorations with some simple wood grain engraved on them.
Lu Chong stepped into the shop, holding a string of wooden beads and twisted them slightly with his fingers. He knew that these wooden beads were solid and were carved from a harder camphor wood.
The guy came over and asked, "Do you want to buy these wooden beads?"
Lu Chong did not answer immediately, shook his head and put down the string of wooden beads in his hand, and then asked: "The surface of this wooden bead is not smooth and round enough, and the wood grain on it also looks rough. Is there any carving more finely?"
The guy nodded and said, "Young Master is really good at seeing. These are all carved by apprentices and are cheaper. If you are not afraid of the price being more expensive, I will get you another string of wooden beads."
After saying that, he walked to a large wooden cabinet next to him, opened it and took out a string of wooden beads and handed it to Lu Chong. It was indeed more exquisitely carved and layered than the string just now. Lu Chong looked at the string of wooden beads and asked again: "These strings of wooden beads are solid. Can you make them hollow inside, and the price is higher?"
The guy looked at the boy in front of him hesitantly, and finally brought Lu Chong to a room behind him. There were two young people and a middle-aged man making wooden beads. The guy whispered to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man turned to look at Lu Chong and said slowly: "Young master, we have never made hollow wooden beads here. You can go to other places to find them."
Lu Tong smiled and said, "My name is Lu Tong, I belong to the Lu family. Are you from the Zhao family in Gemuzhou?"
The middle-aged man frowned and signaled the others to go out. The man and the two apprentices immediately stood up and left. The middle-aged man asked Lu Chong to sit down, and then said, "My name is Zhao Demu, and he is the wooden tool master of the Zhao family. Why did Mr. Lu make hollow wooden beads?"
Lu Chong said: "I have an acquaintance who once came to the store two years ago to make a string of hollow wooden beads. I guess it was made for him by Master Zhao himself! Not only did the string of wooden beads contain a small piece of cloth, but it also used a three-layer sequence mechanism."
Zhao Demu immediately stood up and asked hurriedly: "That person is dead? Your Lu family has actually been tracking down here. Do you want to deal with our Zhao family?"
After Zhao Demu said that, he rushed towards Lu Chong quickly and grabbed Lu Chong's neck with his right hand. Lu Chong sat on the wooden bench without getting up. When Zhao Demu's right hand came in like lightning, he swung his hands and pushed them out along the spiral force. Zhao Demu felt a huge force pushing towards him, and could no longer stand, hit the wall behind him, and then fell to the ground.
After he calmed down, Lu Chong said, "Actually, I am just interested in the production of miniature objects. I will not care about the grudges between the Lu family and the Zhao family. I am a little surprised. How did you know that the man was dead?"
Zhao Demu said dejectedly: "That man really asked me to make hollow wooden beads for him, and put cloth into it, indicating that there was a secret hidden. He has been asking me to untie it for him for two years. He must have died because of that secret."
Lu Chong said: "Let's forget all this! Can you explain the relationship between the Lu family and the Zhao family? In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't say it. I just want to do a business with you."
Zhao Demu slowly stood up with the wall, walked to the wooden bench and sat down, looked at Lu Chong in confusion and said, "I have never seen a genius like you before. Maybe it is a good thing that we all forget that person."
"Actually, the older generation of wooden tools masters know that the ancestor of the Zhao family's wooden tools was originally a rare talent trained by the Lu family. Later, he left the Lu family and created a small family. This made the Lu family, which was proud of wooden tools, very angry. Therefore, they drove away all the apprentices from other surnames, and were not allowed to make machine wooden boxes and small or above objects. We can only make miniature objects."
Lu Chong sighed: "So that's it. You are worried that I know that you made a machine film in the wooden bead and wanted to kill me. I understand that I will not tell anyone about this. Your Zhao family made more machine films than Lu. Although the Lu family emphasized the number of machine films in a wooden box, they ignored the importance of the assembly order of machine films."
"I won't say this anymore. Since I tell you my name, that is, I plan to gain your trust, we can conduct a secret cooperation. You can make machine films for me in private, and also tell me the wooden tool master of your Zhao family in Gemuzhou. I am going to use Gemuzhou as a processing base. I will have someone collect these machine films. Don't worry, my assembled products will not enter Gemuzhou for the time being. This matter will benefit from both sides. Do you understand?"
Although Lu Chong did not say what would happen if he didn't cooperate, Zhao Demu knew the terrifying means of the boy in front of him. He knew that this matter was dangerous and would also produce great gains. He was silent for a long time.
Looking at Lu Tong's bright eyes full of wisdom, Zhao Demu finally said to Lu Tong: "Young Master Lu, I am willing to cooperate with you. I hope this matter will not endanger our Zhao family. I will first give you the names of some masters who can make machine films in Gemuzhou, and I will help you contact other wooden tool masters."
Lu Chong threw a bag of money to Zhao Demu and said calmly: "This is a deposit. I said that it will benefit both sides. If something happens, I will make you ready in advance."
