Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1395, Popular in Beijing and Tianjin

Hearing the man's words, Wang Gensheng and Li Erxiu beside him were immediately moved.

Now the two of them are a little far away, and it is inconvenient to travel. If there is a bicycle, it will be much more convenient.

Cement roads have been built everywhere in the capital, and it is very convenient to travel by bicycle.

The second is that it will be the end of the new year soon, and they will also return to their hometown in Shanxi.

It was not an easy task to go back to their hometown in Shanxi. Although the concrete road has been built and there is a train leading to Shanxi, the location of their hometown is very awkward and the train cannot reach it.

In the past, when going home during the Chinese New Year, they would walk back and see if they could take a four-wheeled carriage.

If there is this bicycle, it is completely possible for the husband and wife to go back by bicycle.

And if you have a bicycle, it will be much more convenient to go home and visit relatives and friends during the New Year.

These made Wang Gensheng and Li Erxiu very excited, but when they thought that the bicycle would cost 22 taels of silver, the couple hesitated again.

too expensive!
Really expensive.

The two of them work in the city. Wang Gensheng works as a construction worker. He does physical work and earns more, almost seven taels of silver a month. Li Erxiu works in a textile factory. Women earn less than men, but she does work. Diligent, careful in doing things, as the group leader, the salary is five taels of silver a month, and the couple together earn 12 taels of silver a month.

But this bicycle actually costs 22 taels of silver. This is still a promotional activity, which means that it will take two months for the couple to afford this bicycle.

This shows how expensive this bike is.

Moreover, Daming in this era is the best era, and prices are very low.

The best Northeast white noodles and Nanyang rice are only a few cents a catty, and the mutton and beef from the grassland only cost more than ten cents per catty. The sea fish from Tianjin is even cheaper, five cents per catty. Wen Qian or so.

One tael of silver is definitely a huge sum of money, enough to buy a lot of things.

In comparison, this bicycle is really too expensive, too expensive.

"Can you make it cheaper by a few taels of silver? It's really too expensive!"

Wang Gensheng thought for a while and said, if it was more than ten taels of silver, he would buy it immediately.

But these twenty-two taels of silver are really expensive, not cheap.

"This price really can't be cheaper. Today is the opening of the business to do activities, so it can be cheap. If we don't do activities in the future, we will definitely not have this price in the future."

"And this time, because our factory has just started production, the output is not high, so the quantity is limited. There are only [-] vehicles in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area. If they are sold out, we will have to wait until next year."

The guy in the store smiled and said, and then went to greet other customers.

Now the store is very lively, many people come to consult, and many people outside are trying this bike.

"I'll take one~"

"I'll come too~"

The most indispensable thing in the capital is rich people. After someone tried it, they would pay for it on the spot.

Bicycles are indeed very convenient for going out, especially in places like the Beijing-Tianjin area, where cement roads are built everywhere and there are a lot of people.

Let's talk about riding a horse. It's not very convenient. It's comfortable to be a four-wheeled carriage, but the cost of raising a horse is also high. A family really can't afford it, and only the rich can support it.

If you usually go out, you basically rely on walking. If you have a bicycle, it will be different. You can ride a bicycle wherever you go. It is very convenient. The key is that this bicycle does not need to be kept, and it is very convenient to park.

Many people paid for the bicycle on the spot.

Those who bought a bicycle, after paying the money, immediately rode their bicycle crookedly and excitedly towards their home, ostentatiously passing through the market along the way, attracting a lot of attention.

"Honey, let's buy one too. It's convenient to go home during the Chinese New Year, and you can also ride back to your hometown during holidays."

Wang Gensheng watched the bicycles being bought one after another in the shop, gritted his teeth and discussed with his wife.

"Head of the house, you have the final say~"

Li Erxiu looked at the bicycle. It seemed to be really good. After thinking about it, he nodded and said.

"Go, get the money~"

When Wang Gensheng heard this, he gritted his teeth and took Li Erxiu to the bank to get money.

……

With the opening of the Mercedes-Benz bicycle experience store, bicycles appeared in the streets and alleys of the Beijing-Tianjin area.

This kind of bicycle, which does not require horses and does not allow oxen to drag, and relies on two feet, immediately became popular in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area.

The first to pay attention to bicycles are delivery companies in the Beijing and Tianjin areas.

The Beijing-Tianjin area has a large population, factories, workshops, and commercial firms, and the commerce and trade are very developed, and there are a lot of goods that need to be transported.

Horse-drawn carriages are the most commonly used for the transportation of large quantities of goods, but the transportation of small and small quantities of goods often requires manpower or carts for transportation.

Manpower in the Beijing-Tianjin area is very expensive, and the speed of cart delivery is very slow.

As soon as the bicycle appeared, these transport companies immediately felt like a treasure.

It is fast, and it is no problem to transport one or two hundred catties at a time. The key is to be able to walk in the streets and alleys. You don’t need to worry about the problem that the road is too small, the alley is too narrow to enter, and you don’t need to worry about parking. question.

It is very convenient to use it to send some small items and small quantities of goods.

The delivery companies immediately found Mercedes-Benz Bicycles, ordering hundreds of them at once. However, the production is limited now, and they are used to promote bicycles, so there is no way to sell too many bicycles at once. firm.

In addition to delivery companies and car dealers, people in the Beijing-Tianjin area who need to go to work every day naturally fell in love with this bicycle immediately.

The management personnel in many factories, commercial firms, and workshops all have a good income, and basically they can afford a house in the capital. Living in their own house is comfortable, but it is very troublesome to go to work, because it is a bit far away distance.

They are not like rich families who can afford horses and four-wheeled carriages. Now that bicycles appear, they are immediately popular among these people.

With a bicycle, it is convenient to go out, commute to get off work, or go to various places to do errands.

These people almost overwhelmed the bicycle experience store, but this time the number of releases is limited, most people can't buy bicycles, they can only watch other people walking up and down the streets on bicycles, I can't be envious.

Of course, young people like bicycles the most.

Young people are active and like to walk around. Walking alone always seems very tiring, but if you have a bicycle and invite a few friends, you can travel around the entire capital.

Or a group of people get together to have a bicycle race, chasing after each other, enjoying the speed and passion, this is the favorite thing for young people.

The bike is on fire!
It exploded in just a few days.

People in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area suddenly stopped caring about national affairs, and even the wedding of His Royal Highness became unsatisfactory. The most discussed topic became bicycles.

How difficult it is to learn this bicycle, only smart people can learn it, and those who can't learn it are stupid or something.

Anyone who bought a bicycle has become the focus now, and people ask him to borrow a bicycle every day.

In addition, there are others who ride bicycles and quickly catch up with their favorite girls, and take their beloved girls to go shopping every weekend.

In addition, there are some bragging young and old who always say that the younger brother of the classmate of the son of the son of the second uncle and third uncle works in a bicycle factory and can buy bicycles or something.

In short, around the bicycle, the old and young men in the capital also became energetic all of a sudden. I don’t know how many people are holding on to the money, wanting to buy a bicycle but can’t.

The Mercedes-Benz bicycle experience store is overcrowded every day.

Because there are free experience activities here, there are dozens of bicycles for everyone to experience riding, so even if you can’t buy a bicycle, many young people come here to learn to ride a bicycle every day.

Of course, more people still come to inquire about buying bicycles.

Putting [-] bicycles into the huge market of Beijing and Tianjin is a drop in the bucket, not enough at all, so that people who can't buy bicycles are clamoring every day to buy the bicycles used by the experience store for experience.

At this moment in the capital, the wedding of His Royal Highness is no longer new, and owning a Mercedes-Benz bicycle has become the most fashionable trend.

Whenever a bicycle appears in the streets, it always attracts a lot of attention. If you can wear a watch on your hand, you are definitely a rich man. If you are younger, you will have an aunt immediately Come forward and ask if you are married or something.

As for the young ladies who were shopping, they showed shy expressions one after another. If they were students studying in school, they would receive many letters soon.

In many open and open places, people can always see someone learning to ride a bicycle crookedly, and there will inevitably be many people around watching and casting envious eyes.

This is bicycles, which quickly became popular in the Beijing and Tianjin areas in a short period of time and became a fashion trend. Even because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, it is also the time of the year when there are the most marriages.

In the past, a mirror was absolutely indispensable for this wedding. Last year, it was popular to wear two watches in the dowry, which meant a long time.

This year, seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, many rich families have begun to include bicycles in their dowry, which vaguely means that it has become a trend. It seems that it will lose face if they get married without a bicycle. If you can't afford a bicycle, it may be difficult to find someone.

　80s bikes are great for families.
