Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1811, the popular motorcycle

"Huh~huh~"

On the mountain road, Xiong Laosan was driving his motorcycle as fast as a gust of wind. Even though there was a steep slope in front of him, he was not afraid at all. When the accelerator was pushed, the motorcycle made a sound, and he rushed up immediately.

"Ooh~"

Rushing up the slope, Xiong Laosan couldn't help shouting happily. In the past, going up this long slope was always a pain. It was better when you didn't bring a lot of things. When you have a lot of things, pushing the bicycle is tiring. Yes, I am exhausted every time I go up, and this kind of uphill and downhill is too common in this hilly area.

"Xiong Laosan, what kind of car is this?"

"Come up right now?"

On the slope, a man who was riding a bicycle with more than 100 kilograms of things was parked there to rest out of breath. Seeing that Xiong Laosan came up all at once, he asked curiously.

"This is called a motorcycle. Like a car, it is driven by an internal combustion engine. It does not need to be pedaled. It is very powerful. Do you see that there is a heavy thing on the back of me, and the accelerator will come up as soon as you press it. , it’s very labor-saving, hurry up and buy one~”

Xiong Laosan naturally said proudly.

"Isn't this thing expensive?"

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, that's 200 taels of silver~"

"My dear, isn't 200 taels expensive?"

"You get what you pay for, where are you going? I'll take you there."

"I'm going to Luojia Village~"

"I'm also going to Luojia Village. I'll take a walk. Put your things in the back, and you can also put your bicycle on it. I'll take you on this motorcycle."

Xiong Laosan said enthusiastically, of course, it was more embarrassing, and quickly put the other party's things into the rear compartment, and the other party also sat on the small seat next to the front.

Then Xiong Laosan started his motorcycle like a gust of wind. Luojia Village, which took half an hour before, arrived in only ten minutes.

"Ouch~"

"This thing is fine. It's fast, powerful, and can hold so many things."

When they arrived at Luojia Village, the people in the car couldn't help but praise him.

"Haha, of course, it's perfect for running around in our mountainous area. Hurry up and buy one, it's available in Gan County."

Xiong Laosan said with a smile.

Xiong Laosan is like a wind from the city. It not only brings commodities from all corners of the country and all over the world to every corner of the mountainous area in Gannan, so that people in the mountainous area can gain knowledge and broaden their horizons, but also let them His motorcycle has entered the field of vision of thousands of households.

To be able to run fast in the mountains, and to be able to carry heavy loads, and to go uphill without taking a breather, such good things are really important for people in the mountains.

Nowadays, bicycles are more popular in mountainous areas. This thing has already become popular all over the country. Every household will buy one. It is very convenient to go out and so on.

However, it is still possible to walk in the plains by bicycle. If you walk in the mountains, you will be very tired. There are too many uphill and downhill places. His hands were sore, and his kicking feet were numb.

Now with motorcycles it's different!

Boss Lai's motorcycle shop in Gan County.

At the beginning, the business was not easy, and there were very few buyers, but after a month or two, more and more people came to the store to inquire.

"Master Li, this thing is very good and fast. It's much more convenient to drive a motorcycle when you go out to visit relatives and friends. It's much better than a bicycle. With your status, you still want to buy one."

"210 taels of silver, I didn't earn any money from you."

"Two for 200, it seems to be pretty good."

"200 taels is really not enough, I have to buy 200 taels of silver."

"Don't sell it down~"

"205 taels, you let me earn some money."

"Okay~"

"Okay, I've done all the formalities for you."

Boss Lai watched a landowner slowly leave on a motorcycle, smiling from ear to ear.

The dozen or so motorcycles he bought at the beginning have now been sold, and he does not plan to sell the remaining two, but keeps them in the store as samples, so that if someone comes to see the motorcycles, they can try them out.

"This motorcycle is sold out, so I need to replenish it quickly. This time, I will buy more, and I will wait until I get 100 motorcycles."

Boss Lai silently calculated, this motorcycle is getting better and better now, more and more questions are asked, he must seize the opportunity to replenish the stock.

"Boss, boss~"

"There's news, there's news."

At this time, a guy hurried over and said.

"How to say?"

Boss Lai asked quickly.

"Boss Wang, the agent in Nanchang, said that motorcycles are very popular now, and they are getting better and better everywhere. He will give us 30 motorcycles at most."

The guy said quickly.

"There are only 30 motorcycles, which is not enough for us to sell. It is estimated that they will be sold out in half a month."

When Boss Lai heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied. He used to worry about not being able to sell it, but now he is worried about running out of stock.

"I'm going to Nanchang. If the goods arrive, you will sell them first. It costs 210 taels of silver, and one tael of silver can't be less. Now that there are more people buying, we have to raise the price a little bit."

"I'm only given 30 motorcycles. I'm so big in Gannan. This motorcycle is not enough for playing games."

"This time I will go to Nanchang personally, at least I have to give me 100 cars."

Boss Lai also quickly told his buddy that it was not a good thing to use the telegram, and he could only get 30 cars. He had to go to Nanchang in person to find the superior agent.

Boss Lai took the train that day and arrived in Nanchang in the evening, and he directly found Boss Wang, the agent in Jiangxi.

Boss Wang's motorcycle sales firm is also crowded here, and dealers from all over the country have come to Boss Wang for only one purpose, and that is to ask Boss Wang for goods.

"Boss Wang, how big is Jiujiang? You just gave me 20 motorcycles this time. How do you want me to sell them?"

A boss from Jiujiang said angrily.

"Yes, yes, I, Fuzhou, has been the richest place in Jiangxi since ancient times. If you give me 30 motorcycles, they can't even make a wave. I sold them in minutes. This time, you No matter what, you have to send me at least 300 motorcycles, and I brought you all the money."

A boss in Fuzhou also said angrily, "Who do you look down on? Just give 30 motorcycles. Do I want to do business now?"

"Boss Wang, I came here in person this time. No matter what, you have to give me more. Last time, everyone didn't want motorcycles, but I took 30 of them back and sold them."

A boss from Jingdezhen also shouted.

"Everyone, everyone~"

Boss Wang saw that everyone was about to tear himself apart, and he quickly said: "It's not that I don't want to send more goods to everyone, but that the motorcycle factory only gives me so much goods. In our entire Jiangxi, they This time, I only gave a few hundred motorcycles, and I can only distribute them to everyone."

"If you don't believe me, you can take a look at my telegram. This is the telegram I just sent to the Beijing Benz Motorcycle Factory at the Telegraph Bureau. I will show you the reply they gave me."

"It clearly states that the production of motorcycles is limited now, and their factory's monthly output is only less than 2. Now it's not just our Ming Dynasty that wants to sell it. Overseas vassal states and colonies, our Daming's The vassal states, as well as the rest of the world, will sell it."

"These points come and go, naturally there is not enough points, not enough to sell."

"However, there is good news that the Mercedes-Benz Automobile Factory will build a branch factory in Nanchang, Jiangxi. After this factory is put into operation, the production of motorcycles will be greatly increased by next year. By then, how much motorcycles do you want? as much as you can have.”

Boss Wang is also very anxious, this motorcycle is not enough to sell, which seriously affects his earning money, and he can't wait to go to the capital to find Duan Hai for goods now.

But there is no way, the output of motorcycles is so high now, and the goods are not as much as they need. The factory has already calculated, and every place has a little bit of goods, so that more people can know about motorcycles. Only in the future can we continue to make efforts, instead of selling all the goods in one place.

Otherwise, the major cities of Ming Dynasty alone would not be enough to sell this motorcycle, so how could it be the Southern Jiangxi area to sell this motorcycle.

"Building a branch in Nanchang?"

"This is a good thing. From now on, we Jiangxi people can work in Nanchang and don't have to go to Songhu."

"Isn't that right? I heard it's because the Yangtze River has been dredged and a large wharf and port have been built on Poyang Lake. , the train can connect the north and the south, which is convenient.”

"The transportation is much better now than before. Concrete roads, railways, and waterways make it much more convenient for business exchanges."

"I heard that the imperial court is going to build a railway to Guangdong. If it is completed at that time, it will be more convenient to go to sea directly through Guangzhou in Guangdong."

As soon as everyone heard it, there was a lot of discussion.
