Chapter 1011 Human Integrity...
On the first day of sales of the Maneng sedan, all the first batch of pre-produced Maneng sedans were sold out, including 500 units of the "Datang" positioned at the high-end market, 2,000 units of the "Da Song" positioned at the mid-range market, and 4,000 units The "Da Ming" vehicle is positioned in the low-end market.
Thanks to the hot sales of the Magic Car, Tang En ordered the supporting products produced by the factory in advance - such as seat covers, interior decorations, air pumps and other peripheral accessories to also sell very well.
People in Purandar have never seen a magic car, so how do they know that many things are not actually necessary? As soon as it was mentioned in the publicity, the wealthy people immediately waved their banknotes to buy.
In the process, the first scalpers even appeared.
The "Da Ming" Magic Car was originally aimed at the low-end market. Due to insufficient production capacity and insufficient supply, and because of the huge appeal of the Magic Car, many people with some money in their pockets rushed to buy it.
After some of them bought it, they resold it to others and made a huge profit from it.
Although Tang En and Fiona both wanted to curb this behavior, there was no effective way.
After the car is sold, you can't stipulate that he must use it himself, right? It belongs to someone else. Whether he sells it to others or uses it for himself is his own business. No matter how powerful Tang En is, he can't interfere with other people's private affairs.
In the end, Tang En and the others had to work hard on getting the Magic Car registered and putting it on the road.
When applying for a license, you must apply for an identity crystal card. The Maneng car's license plate is bound to the identity crystal card. A handling fee will be charged if it is resold within a month. The earlier the time, the more expensive the handling fee.
Secondly, only those who have obtained a driver's license can drive a magic car on the road - as soon as this rule appeared, some smart people immediately discovered new business opportunities.
Those big nobles don't have time to take the driver's license test, but they do!
After taking the exam, those nobles who bought magic cars would have to drive them, right? They can't open it, but you can open it yourself!
As a result, in a very short period of time, two professions, "full-time driver" and "part-time driver", were born in Purandar. Moreover, these first batch of people who took advantage of the situation also made a lot of money, and soon organized organizations. He founded a chamber of commerce that specialized in this, and attracted a large number of people to make a fortune together. His monthly income went from the original tens of gold to over 500 gold, and strode towards the 1,000 gold mark...
After Tang En learned about this, he had a special talk with Fiona and the others, making them more clear about the core purpose of the Datang Chamber of Commerce to "take from the people, use it for the people, benefit society, and create a future together."
To put it another way, it means creating the market, guiding the market, developing the market, and ultimately leading everyone to get rich together.
In order to deal with the large number of magic cars flowing into the market, Tang En specifically found Alleria and added a large number of traffic police to maintain traffic order. At the same time, he also distributed traffic regulations in large quantities for free to help citizens understand traffic rules.
Apart from anything else, private cars pose no threat to the Apocalypse, but once they start running, they are sure to hit ordinary people. Even if the factory has limited the maximum speed to no more than 80 yards during production, 70 yards is enough. It can knock people flying more than ten meters, which is very dangerous, right...
Not only that, with the official release of the Magic Car, a series of derivative industries followed. In order to promote the industrial development of Purandal, Tang En asked Fiona to open a tender, increase the scale of authorization, and support other small and medium-sized chambers of commerce to join. In this industry, they are not capable of producing large industrial products, but they can still produce small parts, decorations, and peripheral products. For this reason, Tang En also made it public that the Datang Chamber of Commerce will provide technical support to chambers of commerce that succeed in bidding. and training.
As soon as this news was released, the entire Illus Empire was in a state of excitement. Countless people were envious of the Datang Chamber of Commerce's ability to make money, but there were very few imitators. Why? Because I have no technical ability!
Now, people directly say, you have no skills? We give!
You don't have the equipment? We sell!
Want to make money? Just join us!
What are you waiting for?
As a result, the first bidding meeting almost packed the entire Alexis Champions Arena. Hundreds of chambers of commerce, large and small, were waving banknotes and voluntarily writing various unequal treaties, vying to catch up with Datang. The Chamber of Commerce took this trip for a ride.
Fiona didn't quite understand it at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she finally understood Tang En's good intentions.
This industry is so huge that it is impossible for the Datang Chamber of Commerce alone to completely capture it, because the main development direction of the Datang Chamber of Commerce is to create markets and create standards, and the ultimate goal of everything is for Tang En's ideas And service.
If you want to develop the magic car industry as soon as possible, you must gather enough resources and manpower and work hard together to develop it.
Therefore, Fiona and Tang En happily formulated quite harsh terms and tied those chambers of commerce that met the standards onto their own chariots. From now on, they will both prosper and suffer.
Of course, in fact, the so-called harsh terms are just to limit the ambitions of those people. Do you want to make money? No problem, follow me and have some meat to eat, and you can live a well-off life no matter how good you are, but you want to be independent after you develop, or even want to devour the master in turn? Sorry, you will die miserably...
The launch of the Magic Car not only completely changed the way people travel, but the most important point is that Tang En finally began to introduce heavy industry to the world.
With the participation of hundreds of chambers of commerce, large and small, factories will soon bloom in various cities. As people's needs increase, processing accuracy will continue to improve, various technologies will also advance, and the accumulation and inheritance of knowledge will also It will accelerate, and perhaps soon, some unexpected geniuses will be born in this world, injecting fresh blood into the subsequent development of these industries.
Alexis.
Thain is the owner of Ares Carriage and Horse Racing Shop. In the past, his main business was to provide rental carriage services for those people. The hundreds of carriages in his hands shuttled around the streets and alleys of Alexis every day, and every month After deducting wages and operating costs, he could earn several thousand gold coins. Although it was not as good as the previous ones in Yalinks, it was more than enough, and his life was pretty good.
Since the advent of bicycles, the business of Ares Carriage and Horse Racing Shop has decreased a lot, because many people choose to ride bicycles for short-distance travel and are no longer willing to spend money to rent carriages. Fortunately, the main customers are not those who occasionally ride carriages. The civilians, Thain comforted himself, those people would definitely return to the embrace of the carriage after the heat was over.
But then the birth of motorcycles made Thain even more uncomfortable, because this time not only civilians, but also some aristocratic customers also fell in the arms of motorcycles. Compared with slow carriages, they could be controlled freely and were more stable than riding horses. A motorcycle that is faster than a horse-drawn carriage is obviously a better choice, and motorcycle sales fell a lot that month.
But Thain was also lucky. After all, a motorcycle could only carry one person. If the whole family wanted to travel, they would definitely choose a horse-drawn carriage. This was their only option.
Later... the magic bus arrived suddenly.
This is simply bad news for Thain!
With bus lines extending in all directions and a comfortable riding environment, you can easily reach anywhere in the city. You don't even have to worry about time, because if you miss a bus, there will be the next one, so you don't have to pay extra rental fees... …
After the popularity of buses, the business of the God of War Carriage and Horses Shop plummeted, because even the cheapest carriage cost fifty coppers to rent. But what about the magic bus? After applying for the identity crystal card, you only need a few coppers!
Even nobles who don't like to crowd with common people now occasionally choose to take the magic bus for convenience...
Faced with such a bleak business, Thain had already retreated. He found that times had changed, and in the future, carriages might really just become something in people's memories.
However, facing many years of foundation, Thain has not been able to bring himself to end it all, so he is still struggling to support it for a while.
His efforts were finally completely defeated in the past few days.
On this day, the owners of the carriage shops in the Illus Empire finally recalled the fear of being once dominated by the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce!
Private magic car!
This is more terrible news than the magic bus!
Not only Ares Horse Racing, but also the big and successful Shunfeng Horse Racing Store and Windrunner Horse Racing Store next door were all stunned after hearing the news.
Unlike the bad news brought by the magic bus, the private magic car brings the end of the car and horse traffic!
Who would want to ride a horse-drawn carriage when a private magic car is warm in winter and cool in summer, comfortable and fast? Who would tolerate the smell of horses?
If you don’t have money, ride a bike or take the bus!
Rich people just drive private magic cars!
Who would want to ride in a horse-drawn carriage?
nobody!
This is the real doomsday!
Thain, who was as tall as a strong warrior, sat blankly in the row of carriages and horses, looking at the endless flow of people in front of him. He felt like a poor creature abandoned by the times. No one would pay attention to him, and no one would care about him. of life and death.
It's all his fault!
A voice suddenly sounded in Thane's mind.
That’s right! It's all his fault!
If His Majesty Tang En hadn't developed some private magic car, his car and horse business would still be fine, and he would still live a happy life instead of being as decadent and miserable as he is now. Waiting for business to come to you!
All of this is his fault!
As the saying goes, people whose income has increased due to Tang En will be grateful to him, but those whose income has been greatly reduced due to technological upgrading will be troubled, angry, and resentful in the hearts of those people. It grew out of control.
The resentful Thain said: "Even if I, Thain, die of poverty, starvation, or die on the street outside, I will never support him again!"
At this time, a person suddenly rushed in: "Boss! Good news! Good news! His Majesty Tang En has just announced that the Datang Chamber of Commerce will provide free mana cars to the carriage and horse dealers and sponsor the reorganization of the existing carriage and horse dealers to establish rental cars." Car Dealers Association! Provide new and more comfortable car rental services to the general public!”
"What!?"
The hatred in his heart disappeared instantly, and Thain jumped up with a look of ecstasy: "Your Majesty Tang En is wise!"
This guy forgot the oath he just swore in the blink of an eye.
