National Juggernaut

Chapter 153 Changes in the Market

Xia Lang didn't appear alone, he was surrounded by several bodyguards with big arms and thick waists, followed by a businessman who looked like a businessman walking and chatting.

Although it was obviously camouflaged, the style of marching was really not low-key, and the people blocking the way in front were far away and separated.

"What the hell is this?"

Zheng Li was a little surprised, he recognized the businessman behind him, wasn't Xia Lang's boss "Brother Dao"?

". I really appreciate this endorsement."

"Sales."

"Cooperate next time."

Feng'er passed on the scattered conversation, and when the big team passed by, Zheng Li walked in the opposite direction to where they came from.

"The Hall of Venus?"

The building they came out of belonged to a company that Zheng Li was very familiar with. Just wandering around the entrance of the building, Zheng Li knew that he had gone right. Xia Lang's handsome face was everywhere, and there were also gleaming armor promotions. Photo, how could I be wrong.

Venus Hall, a well-known spiritual firearms and ammunition company, but the direction of its fame is a bit subtle.

"The invisible eagle shooter, the bloody gunfire negotiation, the bursting sparks that kill the enemy, the sweetheart killer at the prom, and the Venus palace on the model poster."

This sentence refers to five well-known firearms manufacturers in Shiqian City, referring to the top manufacturers of sniper rifles, fire suppression firearms, heavy firepower/explosives, and assassination/self-defense miniature firearms.

This kind of saying is widely circulated among newcomers. If you are dazzled by various product indicator readings and fancy advertisements, you can find the latest and classic models of these companies directly by function, you must be right.

Demand urges production, and more refined requirements urge professional division of labor.

Every technical improvement and every material replacement requires a long time to polish and correct. At present, every man-made psychic device manufacturer has its own flagship product, which contains countless secrets and patents.

All of these companies have established reputations. As long as they grasp their main business, they don’t have to worry about being eliminated by the market. When any sword master needs a sniper rifle or a firearm to suppress firepower, he will find their brand by himself.

Isn't it a bit strange, as if someone has been forgotten?The Hall of Venus on the model poster?Uh, what they specialize in is probably modeling.

Well, the most beautiful and stylishly designed psychic firearms look extremely cool, and they look like alien creations from another world. No need to ask, it must be produced by the Venus Palace.

That's why there is the saying "the Hall of Venus on model posters".

Of course, these words are a bit exaggerated, and may even be maliciously framed by competitors. After all, this is a firearms company in all fields.

Uh, everyone in the field understands that comprehensive pursuit equals comprehensive mediocrity, and various technical barriers and secret formulas cannot fall into the hands of the same company.

Research institutions such as the R&D department are always open, and the latest technology may be outdated today. The competition to focus on a certain field has caused major companies to break their heads, trying to surpass all psychic firearms business. Just kidding.

In the end, what the Venus Hall achieved was various types of low-end products, as well as various downgraded civilian products.

Not to mention, due to the cheap price, novel style, and willingness to spend money on advertising, it has a good reputation among the people. After all, most people buy one or two psychic firearms for body protection, and they may never have the opportunity to use them in their entire lives. But word of mouth among professional hunters is extremely subtle.

Basically, seeing someone take out a handsome gun when he needs remote support, either suspects him to be poor, or suspects him to be a fool.

Even some of the professional shooters with handmade firearms had to emphasize with the temporary team members that they were not using products from the Temple of Venus.

"Uh, Xia Lang and Venus Palace are really a perfect match."

Zheng Li walked in, and was greeted by a crowd of lively shoppers, which is not normal in this street.

After a quick glance, most of them are women, chattering on the side of the stage. Uh, it seems, from the background wall of the big poster, a big stage show has just ended?

After a quick glance, Zheng Li was about to leave. Anyway, everyone in the industry knew how unreliable the things in the Venus Palace were, and there were a lot of false propaganda this time.

"Welcome to the Armor and Protector Week in the Palace of Venus! Here, you can see the strongest, most fashionable, most gorgeous, and most cost-effective armor and protective gear!"

But a delicate female voice made Zheng Li stop immediately.

What?armor?Is your gun factory going to make armor?

Zheng Li turned around for a moment, only to notice that the promotional photo on Xia Lang's poster did not hold a gun (nor did he know how to do it), and the shining golden armor looked like a +20 artifact.

Only then did Zheng Li take a closer look at the exhibits in the window.

"Let me go, force field shield, magnetic bullet avoider, self-propelled shield, psychic pulser, you just play the whole set? Are you still picking expensive imitations?"

Among the many man-made spiritual weapons, firearms are not expensive, but many sword masters will buy one to make up for their range needs.

Since most sword masters are melee-oriented, many of them only remember that they have a long-range sub-weapon in their backpack after several years of experience. At that time, most of them have passed the shelf life, and it is good luck to be able to hit it.

But armor and armor are different. They are necessities and luxuries, and they are consumables for professional guards.

The force field shield can create a force field to protect your companions and yourself, and the magnetic bullet avoider is designed to deal with metal live bullets that do not have strong spiritual power or elemental possession.

The self-propelled shield moves at will, and the high-end products also have a levitation function, which can also activate the reflection mode, and automatically block swords and arrows. Apart from the unit price of more than 200 million, there are no other disadvantages.

The psychic pulser is the nemesis of all the above. Once it is released, everyone's artificial psychic equipment will be reimbursed together.

These are common items for shield guards. If a newcomer shield guard does not have a better spiritual weapon shield, he will usually borrow some money to get a small force field shield or a miniature pinball. All of them are too expensive. That's it, let's make up for the rest with personal skills.

Zheng Li also saw more than 20 other types of armor, including rocket boots and full body armor.

"I'm going, it's too outrageous. The boss of the Golden Palace always converts to Infinity Eye? This technological explosion is too outrageous. No, it's impossible. Even a believer in Infinity Eye can't make a comprehensive breakthrough."

Zheng Li settled down, he began to study the readings and textures of these products, and then
"Uh, it's unbelievable. The main indicators are similar to other brands, and the price is only half. If it wasn't for the products from the Temple of Venus, I would have bought them."

But Zheng Li touched, touched, and found that something was wrong.

"This material, it's not right, it feels obviously too brittle."

The thickness and width of the same D27 steel armor plate seem to meet the armor standard, but when touched, the feel is slightly different.

"The normal knocking sound is not this, can it be tailings, mixed goods, recycled goods?"

Metal fingers lightly slid across the armor plates, and Zheng Li suspected that he could easily pierce these armor plates. Then the ability was fed back to him, and he could really point to a hole.

He looked at other types of armor and protective gear in the display window, and found that they all had subtle flaws and a sense of instability. Although the various main data were not bad, there was always a subtle sense of incompatibility.

For example, the magnetic bullet avoider does not write the magnetic range and limit (absorbing) ammunition. After it is activated, there is a villain dancing slowly on it, like a miniature music box. Well, who does this villain look like, needless to say .

Zheng Li tried it, and within the standard two-meter radius, it couldn't absorb the steel arrows he held in his hand.

Get closer and try again. The magnetic force is obviously too weak. Probably the only thing that can attract it is the ultra-small caliber of the lady's pistol.

Zheng Li checked it carefully again, only to find that it is not the "sword" logo of military supplies, but the subtle "sword tower" shape, the color is consistent and the shape is similar. If you don't look carefully, you can't really find it. This is actually a Civilian products on the military counter!
After finding the clue, he compared it again, only to find that more than half of the products here are Pagoda trademarks. At least for now, they still haven't passed the "military standard" audit of relevant departments.

Other things are more subtle. The normal self-propelled shield comes with a psychosensory headband, which is convenient for mind control, and the reaction speed is marked as 0.X seconds.

But this comes with a manual remote control. Well, I have time to press the remote control. Is it okay to block it with the shield?
Zheng Li touched the rocket boots and there were logos of other brands inside. Is there such a rush of time? For OEM products, at least remember to wear off the logos.

"This kind of rubbish, no one will really buy it."

"Excuse me!"

Seeing a young woman rushing to the checkout with a purchase card from a container, Zheng Li was really surprised.

"Xia Lang sets three sets, thank you, here are the signed posters and character cards as a bonus. Do you have his fans club membership card, we can help you check in online."

After looking more at the checkout counter, Zheng Licai really opened his eyes.

Those rich fans who buy goods that they will never use in their lifetime are nothing, and no one can stop them from spending their own money on fun.

Those few fans who seem to be purchased by the battle group's logistics are scary, and they are really worried about her comrades in the same group.

And on the big screen in the store, I can also see someone's live delivery. Uh, I watched him click on his magnetic bullet avoider with great interest, praised its novel and unique design, and also gave him a new The theme song, I recommend fans to buy it and listen to it, Zheng Li really doesn't know how to deal with it.

"...Is something going to happen? Uh, something will happen already."

What will happen if something happens to the armor and protective gear?First of all, this is only a small probability, and second, even if something happens, you probably won't be able to come back and complain.

Even if you are lucky enough to come back, are your complaints and complaints alone better than the professional legal teams of these big companies?

Besides, who can be blamed if you have an accident outside with "civilian goods"?Blame yourself for being a poor man who misread the sign?
Throw it on the Internet and use public opinion to complain?Uh, brother, how dare you provoke those people in the opponent's home field?I admire your courage and I sympathize with what happened to you next.

Thinking of this, Zheng Li gasped, the situation was worse than expected.

When unconscionable manufacturers and traffic that only pursue money are mixed together, it seems that this matter really cannot be dealt with.

At this moment, Zheng Li's eyes changed.

He looked at the handsome golden poster and sighed subtly.

"Next, it's not a personal grudge."
-
"Zheng Li, look, look at this hang glider, it's so cheap! I searched for the standard on the Internet, and it's only half the average price! It seems that they are doing some kind of event, and the new products are on sale these days!"

Just after walking out of the alley and arriving at the agreed round location, Zheng Li was entangled by a rabbit to pay the bill.

He opened the leaflet and looked at it. Uh, it really is the Hall of Venus.

"Snapped!"

He slammed the silly rabbit on the head, then pointed at the golden planet symbol, and said.

"In the future, you can't buy anything with this trademark. It's a completely rubbish brand, and it's just a fake brand to cheat you newcomers."

The rabbit touched his head aggrievedly, and then took out other product lists.

Not to mention, the quantity is really quite a lot. At first glance, there are seven pieces, but after a closer look at the price, it is actually not exceeding the budget (within three scheduled).

At this moment, Zheng Li felt that something was wrong. Did the market price suddenly collapse, or...
"I'm going, I still underestimated the lower limit of these manufacturers. As long as there are enough fools to sell things, can any rubbish be fine?"

Except for the two pieces of Jin Xing, the other brands were all small second- and third-tier brands. Zheng Li went to the scene to look at the goods and suddenly felt that Jin Xing was quite conscientious, at least the products and leaflets could be matched.

"What kind of rubbish is this?"

And the young faces on those leaflets, either masculine and bold, or handsome, are mostly the hottest Internet celebrities, and some of them are unlucky ones who overturned in this rookie competition.

Zheng Li looked through the relevant professional forums and searched with keywords, only to find that this is really not a day or two.

With the further popularization of the Psionic Network, it has become the norm to bring goods live, but the supervision system does not seem to keep up.

In addition, the sales in this area are almost direct sales from the factory, and the intermediate links of shopping malls and warehousing are dispensable, and the review link is also skipped. Some people only find out that the goods are not right after receiving the goods.

But because the price is really cheap, many people just accepted it, and many people have not found anything wrong with the goods so far.

Most of the victims are newcomers, or ordinary people who need to go out, and the veterans often just complain a few words, and then buy what they should buy.

Man-made spiritual tools have always been consumables, and many sword masters have to make large purchases every once in a while.

This state existed a year ago, but Zheng Li has been too busy recently, so he has not paid attention to it.

Many people even said witty words, such as "I only use melee equipment, and I will never use psionic equipment twice in my life. Anyway, I want to store expired spare parts in the warehouse. It is a good thing that the price is halved."

Needless to say, with the development of time, many people have bought these "downgrade products", and of course there have been many "victims complaining about junk products" posts.

Naturally, the rumors of "who told you to take advantage of it" are also indispensable in the replies.

At present, these "new products" mainly impact the low-end market of low-end brands and high-end brands, and have slightly begun to erode the mid-end market.

Some people even gloated on the above, saying that the prices of several brands they always bought were reduced by 20% due to market pressure, which saved them a lot of money.

But one of the following replies made the above poster unable to laugh.

[Fool, the old factory will either be squeezed out, or learn to be 'smart', the market is full of such things, can you still laugh? 】

There are many debates below, but most people still say that this person is worrying unfoundedly, so there is such a thing.

Looking at the time, it has been half a year, and there are still people replying, which is regarded as a permanent hot post.

But in the latest reply, that person said something dark again, shutting up all the opponents.

【You used to call me nonsense?What now?Hall of Venus, isn't it an old factory?Isn't it smart first?Do you think that as long as there is money to be made, other old factories will not keep up?This doesn't affect their original main business, is it difficult and costly to get some OEM products for people to bring? 】

　So what, two in one.
