Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1404, New Fashions and Trends
A small town under Datong Mansion in Shanxi, benefited from the fact that Datong used to be an important border fortress, so the imperial court also spent a lot of resources on Datong Mansion, and many places in Datong Mansion have all built concrete roads.

Wang Gensheng stepped on the bicycle vigorously, looking at the gradually familiar and intimate scene, the whole person seemed extremely excited.

After more than two days of rushing, eating and sleeping all the way, facing the cold wind, after going through hardships, I finally got home, and Wangjia Village can already be seen.

"Many people in my hometown are building new houses~"

While riding his bicycle, Wang Gensheng was also looking in the direction of Wangjia Village. The previous mud thatched houses have basically been completely refurbished, and they have become brand new reinforced concrete houses. The exterior is painted with white lime, which looks very beautiful.

"Isn't it? The big guys have made money in the past few years, so naturally they want to build a new house at home."

Li Erxiu is also very excited at this moment. Every year when he goes home, he is extremely happy and excited. When he returns to the capital to work after the Chinese New Year, he is extremely sad, especially when he is separated from his own child, listening to the child holding a tearing heart. The crying of the lungs makes the heart melt, and it is often only in the middle of the night when the child is asleep.

"It's nothing to build a new house at home. Now if you can buy a suite in the city, you can be considered capable."

Wang Gensheng pedaled the bicycle very fast, and the cold wind blew his face like a knife, but at this moment, he didn't care at all.

Soon, the bicycle arrived at the entrance of Wangjia Village. There were many children playing at the entrance of the village. When they saw Wang Gensheng and Li Erxiu coming by bicycle, they immediately looked over curiously.

"Son~"

Wang Gensheng saw his son at a glance while riding on the car, and immediately shouted excitedly.

His son was already eight years old. When he heard Wang Gensheng's yell, he was slightly taken aback, and after taking a closer look, he immediately flew over excitedly.

"Daddy, mother~"

"Haha, my good son, I don't think daddy~"

Wang Gensheng stopped the car, picked up his son, lifted it high, and played happily.

After Wang Gensheng came back, the whole Wangjia Village soon became lively. The children and old people in the village came out one after another, thinking that their children and parents would also come back, because counting the time, it was just a matter of these few days. .

Soon, everyone noticed the bicycle that Wang Gensheng rode back.

"This is a bicycle, a car that can be walked with pedals on it~"

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it only cost twenty-two taels of silver."

"My dear, twenty-two taels of silver, it's not expensive~"

"Gen Sheng made a lot of money~"

"Isn't it? If you buy such a two-wheeled bicycle for twenty-two taels of silver, I wouldn't be willing to kill you."

"That is to say, the times are good now. In the past, I was exhausted throughout the year. Not to mention money, even eating a full meal was a luxury. Now it's better, and twenty-two taels of silver is just for this thing? "

"Isn't this equivalent to a few cows?"

"No~"

After the old people in the village learned that Wang Gensheng spent twenty-two taels of silver to buy the bicycle, they couldn't believe it, and talked about Wang Gensheng's bicycle non-stop.

Twenty-two taels of silver, for those of the older generation, is an astronomical figure that Jedi dare not think about. It is the right choice to use it to buy land, cattle, and houses. Now they just bought a With such things, the old people shook their heads one after another.

However, after another day or two, young people who went out to work and earn money in the village returned to the village one after another.

Wang Gensheng's bicycle immediately became the focus of the entire Wangjia Village.

Almost every day, people come to Wang Gensheng's house to look at this bicycle.

"This is a bicycle~"

"Isn't it? When I was in the capital, I saw someone riding this bicycle on the street. The speed is really fast."

"That's not true. We came back a day or two later than Wang Gensheng. He came back by bicycle, and his speed was much faster than ours."

"This car looks handsome, and it's a face to go out riding this car."

"Isn't it? Now here in the capital, it is considered a face to have a bicycle like this. You have to walk to work, how embarrassing."

"Brother Gensheng, why did you buy this bicycle?"

"Yes, yes, I wanted to buy it at the time, but it was out of stock."

"I was lucky too. I happened to be next to the store when it opened, so I gritted my teeth and bought it."

"This car is good, but it's too expensive, twenty-two taels of silver~"

Hearing the praise and admiration of the people around him, Wang Gensheng felt very happy in his heart.

From time to time, I also want to emphasize to people that I bought this bicycle for twenty-two taels of silver. Naturally, it is necessary to arouse the amazement of the people around me.

"Can you lend me this car?"

With a car, it is natural that someone borrows a car to ride.

"I don't borrow my car or my wife~"

"This bicycle is not so easy to learn. It's okay to lend it to you. I'm just worried that it will be broken."

Wang Gensheng regards his bicycle very precious.

I have nothing to do when I go home during the Chinese New Year. I ride my bike around every day, and after I come back, I carefully wipe my bike clean.

Anyone who borrows a bike will be rejected, and he is not willing to let people go and rush for his own bike.

A bicycle quickly became the most beautiful scenery in the nearby town area, attracting a lot of attention almost wherever it went.

The old man lamented the expensive price of this bicycle, and he couldn't help but praise Wang Gensheng.

As for the young people, they cast envious eyes one by one. Everyone really wants to own such a bicycle.

.......
At this moment, in the Beijing-Tianjin area, where there are the most bicycles, with the initial thousands of bicycles being put on the market, a new trend has been brought about.

The Benz bicycle experience store in Beijing is full every day, and a large number of young people gather here every day to experience and learn to ride a bicycle, and at the same time ask what is in stock.

Although I haven't bought my favorite bicycle yet, I must first practice the riding skills. Knowing how to ride a bicycle has become a must-have skill for young people in Beijing.

Of course, for the children of the rich and powerful in the capital, in the past, their favorite activities were buying games, playing football, walking dogs and fighting cocks.

But now, almost every one of these rich and powerful children in the capital has a bicycle. A group of seven or eight people often get together, and they are not afraid of the cold or snow. Street race car racing.

As a means of transportation, the bicycle immediately gained the love of young people as soon as it appeared.

This kind of transportation that can control the direction, speed up or slow down by itself is more exciting than riding a horse. The key is that you can't indulge in riding a horse in the streets and alleys of the capital, but a bicycle can.

Moreover, the bicycle is convenient to park, and there is no need for feeding or anything. It is very convenient no matter where you go, and you can also take your favorite girl out for a ride.

All of these made bicycles quickly popular, and a bicycle trend blew up in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area.

The mansion of Liu Jin in the capital.

"The price of a second-hand bicycle has risen to hundreds of taels~"

"It's really rare and expensive!"

Looking at the reports in the newspaper, Liu Jin couldn't help sighing slightly.

The huge market demand in the Beijing-Tianjin area and the poor output of the Mercedes-Benz bicycle factory also caused the price of bicycles on the market to soar.

Many people would rather spend several times the price to buy a second-hand bicycle in order to get a bicycle as soon as possible. After all, for the rich people in the Beijing and Tianjin areas, having a bicycle is considered to keep up with the fashion trend.

Especially for the various second generations in the Beijing-Tianjin area, if you don’t have a bicycle, you will be embarrassed to go out to meet people, and you will even have no friends.

Because now everyone has a party or something, and they all make appointments to go by bicycle.

"It is estimated that in the next ten years, the sales of bicycles will be very strong, and the market demand will be huge."

"Well, it is necessary to quickly expand production capacity, seize the market first, and launch a variety of suitable bicycles at the same time."

Liu Jin pondered carefully.

The bicycle industry is a huge industry. It has many components and involves many industries and fields. It plays a huge role and can drive the development of many industries in Daming.

"After the bicycle industry rises, the sugarcane plantations in Nanyang are probably going to be planted with rubber. The rubber plantation I invested in earlier can also be harvested vigorously."

Thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't help laughing.

The role of rubber is very great, but the origin of rubber is on the Golden Island, and no one pays attention to it now. Only Liu Jin has introduced a large amount of rubber in the Nanyang plantation in advance, and it will take several days for the rubber to come back. years to be able to produce rubber.

This means that in the next few years, the rubber in Liu Jin's hands can form a monopoly, the price will naturally be high, and he can make a lot of money.

"Old Liu~Old Liu~"

Liu Jin was thinking about making money, when Zhu Houzhao's voice came over, and soon, the energetic Zhu Houzhao came to Liu Jin's side.

"Old Liu, hurry up, hurry up~"

"This football match between Beijing National Football Team and Tianjin Navigation is definitely not to be missed."

Zhu Houzhao took Liu Jin and walked outside. There were football games almost every day during the Chinese New Year, and the ticket sales skyrocketed.

"National football vs sailing?"

Hearing this, Liu Jin regained his energy immediately, and hurriedly put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "I'll have someone prepare the carriage, so you can't miss it."

"Who still rides in a carriage? Riding a bicycle is popular now~"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately looked at Liu Jin with contempt, as if he was a turtle.
