But cars don't have this problem. If you fill up with gasoline, you don't need to pay extra even if you don't drive it. However, the salary of the carriage and the fodder of the horse need to be paid every day even if you don't use it.
This is also the key reason why private carriages cannot become popular among the middle class.
The emergence of cars will surely become a new product sought after by the middle class.
The price of trucks is slightly more expensive than cars, about 2,000 US dollars. Of course, Viscount Peart buys the trucks with the lightest tonnage.
Orders for cars and trucks alone amount to NT$90,000, and the price of each Xibeati transmission is NT$150 or NT$75,000.
With the requirement to be fully delivered within one month, Aslan was already producing the Xibiti gearbox as early as when Linda left for the Zansikat Empire.
There are still thousands of variable boxes in stock. As for car orders, there is no need to worry at all.
People in Chester are still in a wait-and-see mode when it comes to cars. The trucks on the road are basically used by the Raytheon Group. As for the cars, they have not been officially launched yet. I originally planned to pick a good time, but I didn't expect that Viscount Peart would come so soon.
Already.
The quantity of cars is not that large, and the inventory can completely handle it.
The reason for delaying it for a month is to show the difficulty of producing the car, because Aslan is preparing to carry out hunger marketing on the release date in a few days.
Of course, he would not miss this publicity opportunity. He sold forty cars in one go, with an order worth nearly 200,000 US dollars, which would definitely make many aristocratic businessmen pay attention to the huge profits of the automobile industry.
On the launch day, he only needs to sell a few dozen cars to complete the task.
Viscount Peart left with satisfaction, and Aslan immediately asked someone to film the signing process and send it to major newspapers.
The radio station is still in preparation, otherwise it would be even simpler.
Early the next morning, Viscount Peart of the Zanskart Empire came to Chester all the way to reach a strategic cooperation with Thor General Motors, and placed an order worth 200,000 US dollars with Thor General Motors.
Chester.
When Viscount Peart was experiencing the local customs of Chester, he saw the newspaper handed over by the valet.
"Master, that Amuro is a little too much."
The valet's words made Viscount Peart slightly startled. He thought something had happened. He took the newspaper and read it, and then burst out laughing.
"This Amuro is indeed a talent, and this method is reasonable."
Viscount Peart said: "Then I won't be in a hurry to leave. Let's wait until the car sale is over before leaving! The name of the sale sounds good."
"Yes! Master."
………………
Because of the car launch event, Aslan has been very busy these days and almost lives and sleeps at Thor General Motors.
Helen also took advantage of this free time to go to the hospital for a check-up to confirm that she was really pregnant.
Worried, she took Amani to a small church in the suburbs and asked an old nun to examine her to determine if there was something wrong with her body. Why was she not pregnant for so long before she was with Amuro?
How long did it take to become pregnant?
In the central plains, although there are places like hospitals, the hospitals mainly serve minor injuries and illnesses. Serious illnesses and serious injuries are still solved with healing magic and magic potions. Under the influence of magic, the medical field of Xinuo Continent develops very slowly, like
Infertility is a disease that hospitals cannot solve.
However, it is even more expensive to find a magician who specializes in healing. The starting price is 500 US dollars, and a set of many diseases can cost at least a thousand US dollars, or even several thousand US dollars.
Ordinary people, even middle-class families, once they have a serious illness and go to a magician who specializes in medical treatment, they are likely to return to the working class one day.
At that time, the Omniscient Church relied on clergy to help people treat serious illnesses at low prices, and was able to spread its faith rapidly.
This is still the case today, but the so-called cheapness is compared to the price of a magician, and the church does not sell magic potions. Once a serious illness occurs, most aristocrats and wealthy people mainly turn to magicians.
Over time, the upper class turned to magicians who specialized in treatment, the middle class turned to church priests and nuns, and ordinary people could only go to hospitals.
"Your body is very healthy and you are not experiencing infertility as you mentioned."
The old nun in the chapel accepted the one hundred dollars donated by Helen and explained with a smile on her face.
Generally, churches only charge ten to fifty dollars for this kind of inspection. Small churches like these in the suburbs are even cheaper.
It's just that it's not called medical expenses, it's called donation gift money.
"My ex-husband and I have been married for more than ten years, and we have always been..., you can understand."
Helen asked nervously.
The old nun smiled and said: "This should be your ex-husband's problem, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten pregnant so soon after divorcing your ex-husband."
Helen nodded thoughtfully.
When the two came out of the church, Helen and Amani said in unison: "Whose child does Parks' mistress have?"
The next moment, the two of them laughed together.
"Ignore Parks for now, I still have to think about how to tell Amuro about this."
After Helen finished speaking, she subconsciously rubbed her temples.
Amani said with a serious face: "I suggest that it is best to make it clear directly, and that the divorce from Parks should be handled as soon as possible, so as not to affect you and Mr. Amuro after the news of the pregnancy is leaked."
After all, it is very disgusting to be pregnant with another man's child without divorce.
"I got it!" Helen subconsciously covered her stomach and couldn't help but reveal a sweet smile on her face.
Amani saw this scene and swallowed back the words in his mouth.
She wanted to remind Helen that if Mr. Amuro didn't want the child, she should be prepared in advance.

Because of the news of signing a large order with a certain noble viscount of the Zanskart Empire, the sale of Thor General Motors will be more popular than expected.
In addition, the launch day happened to be on the weekend. During this period, a large number of car news bombarded many middle class people who were very interested in new products such as cars. Some people came to attend the launch event early in the morning.
The launch event was held in the huge square in front of the Thor General Motors factory, which is usually used for vehicle driving tests.
As the bell rang, Aslan appeared on the podium at the launch event and said with a smile on his face: "Welcome to attend Thor General Motors' new car launch event."
"Everyone should have gained an understanding of cars during this period, and I believe many of them are looking forward to this brand-new means of transportation. Cars will overthrow the old means of transportation and become a symbol of technology in the new era..."
