The Mercedes-Benz car store in Beijing is very busy. There are so many people coming here to look at cars.
Don't look at the price of more than 6,000 taels of silver, which is a sky-high price for ordinary people, but where is the capital?
The most indispensable thing here is rich people. There are too many rich people.
As soon as cars, a new thing, came out, they immediately became a hotly discussed and sought-after topic for everyone. Naturally, the car shop suddenly became very lively.
Li Tang brought his friends Zhang Yun and Wang Zhongting to the Mercedes-Benz car dealership.
The three of them all have very good family backgrounds. Their grandfather is an official in the imperial court, and their father owns factories, workshops, trading houses, ships, etc. in the Beijing-Tianjin area. He is considered a typical emerging capitalist in the new era. The most important thing in the family is money.
The three young people usually spend money lavishly and like new things very much. Yesterday, they saw someone driving a car on the street. It immediately made the three people feel itchy and asked people to find out the news. Early this morning
Came here.
"You three gentlemen, are you here to see the car?"
The three of them arrived at the entrance of the Mercedes-Benz car store in a luxurious four-wheeled carriage. As soon as the four-wheeled carriage stopped, a waiter from the store immediately came forward to greet them attentively.
"Nonsense, if I don't come to see the car, why don't I come to see you?"
Li Tang immediately replied, and looked at the car shop in front of him. It was already crowded with people, and you could see some dandy kids from the capital everywhere, some of whom were having fun with each other.
"Brother Li~"
"Brother Zhao~"
"Brother Wang~"
"Brother Zhang~"
Many of them are acquaintances, and when they meet each other, there is a lively greeting.
"What's this car like?"
"Tsk tsk, that's really good. The waiter at the store just took us around for a few times. It feels really good. I've already placed an order and the goods will arrive in a few days."
"Isn't this in stock? Why do you have to wait?"
"They said that everything in this store is for display and not for sale. If you want to buy a car, you have to place a full order for production. After it is produced, you can come to the store to drive the car."
"So that's it. How does this car compare to a bicycle?"
"Bicycles are incomparable. I'm almost exhausted from pedaling on them, but this car is different. I'm not tired at all when driving, and the speed of this car is much faster."
"Brother Li, hurry up and order one. Otherwise, if you are late, it may take a few days to have the goods in stock. Their current production capacity is limited and they can only produce a few hundred vehicles a month."
"When we get the car, we will have a racing car. This car is much more fun to drive than a bicycle."
Li Tang, Zhang Yun, and Wang Zhongting also got to know each other well with their buddies.
"You three gentlemen, do you want me to take you to try sitting on it?"
The service attitude of the waiters in the store is excellent. While the young men are chatting, they wait patiently. When they finish chatting, they continue talking enthusiastically.
"Okay, make arrangements quickly."
Li Tang casually threw out a silver dollar as a reward.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment, I'll drive over."
When the waiter got the silver dollar, he immediately smiled and went to make arrangements.
Soon, a Mercedes-Benz car took Li Tang, Zhang Yun, and Wang Zhongting to a nearby street for a stroll to feel the speed and passion of the car.
"This car is okay, but this speed is completely incomparable to that of a bicycle."
"And sitting on this chair is much more comfortable than a bicycle. It's even incomparable to a four-wheel carriage."
"Tsk tsk, that's really good!"
The three of them took a ride in the car and felt the speed and passion of the car. Almost like everyone else, they fell in love with this thing right away.
Guzhan
It is the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the weather is freezing. Riding a bicycle may be in line with the fashion trend of young people, but it will be extremely cold.
Riding a four-wheeled carriage seems too old-fashioned, and although the four-wheeled carriage is comfortable, it is not fast.
The car ride is completely different, it is relaxed and comfortable. The key is that you don’t have to worry about the cold in winter. Once the glass is closed, no cold wind can blow in.
"Not bad, not bad, really good!"
Li Tang felt the car carefully. This new thing could travel on the road without being pulled by people and horses. Moreover, the speed was quite fast. When sitting in it, the comfort was quite good.
There is no doubt that men will fall in love with this kind of mechanical thing immediately.
"I want to order two cars. How long will it take to get them?"
As soon as he returned to the car shop, Li Tang was ready to order a car without any hesitation.
"When I go back to my son, if I order the car now, I can get it in two days."
When the waiter heard this, he immediately replied with a smile on his face. He ordered two cars at once. He was definitely a rich man. Although he had long been used to the extravagance of the rich in the capital, this kind of The momentum of taking out more than 10,000 taels of silver in one go without blinking an eye is really enviable and jealous.
"I'll order one too~"
"I'll order one too."
Wang Yun and Zhang Zhongting did not hesitate. It was only a few thousand taels of silver. For rich young men like them, it was just a little pocket money.
When you encounter something you like, you naturally have to pick it up with ease.
After paying the money, the waiter in the shop began to enthusiastically teach the three of them how to drive. If you drive this car, the car is the most soulful thing if you drive it yourself, and riding in the car will be meaningless.
A few days later.
Li Tang, Wang Yun, and Zhang Zhongting also successfully got the cars they ordered. The three of them, who had been impatient for a long time, drove their cars on the road almost immediately.
From the beginning, he was very nervous and the speed was very slow, but he soon got used to it. After he became proficient, it became smoother and smoother, and the speed became faster and faster. The three-gloss black Mercedes-Benz roared past the streets of New Town in the Southern District.
This car became more and more impressive as we drove it, especially for young people. It was the most novel thing. Driving the car and feeling the speed and passion made the three of them completely become car fans.
Now, they chose to drive wherever they went. The four-wheel carriage was completely abandoned, and the Arabian horses at home could only spin in circles.
Brothels, hotels, restaurants and teahouses, outside football stadiums, at the entrance of theaters, own factories, workshops, trading houses, etc., these high-end consumer areas in the Beijing-Tianjin area.
Soon a new phenomenon appeared. There were fewer horse-drawn carriages and brand-new Mercedes-Benz cars replaced them. They soon became the first choice for the rich and powerful to travel.
Especially for the young men in Beijing, all of them are rich and young, so cars become their first choice almost immediately.
It would be embarrassing if you went out in a carriage.
Who wants to ride in a carriage these days? Cars are so comfortable and so much faster.
In the past, these young men in the capital would organize bicycle races, riding from the capital to Tianjin, or doing one or two laps around the capital.
But it is usually held in the summer. When winter comes, it is too cold, so naturally no one rides bicycles.
But now, the young men in Beijing who bought cars first have become active again and have begun to hold car competitions.
In the streets and alleys, you can hear them driving cars whizzing by on the streets almost every day. As a result, there have been several accidents and some people have been injured.
But this still cannot stop everyone's love for cars.
Especially after you experience the feeling of driving a car, you will almost fall in love with the car and enjoy the speed and passion it brings.
With these young men taking the lead, cars have quickly become popular. Rich people are thinking about buying a car to try out the novelty of this novel means of transportation.
As for people without money, when they look at the cars whizzing by on the street, their eyes are filled with infinite envy.
A car worth more than 6,000 taels of silver is equivalent to several houses running on the road, and ordinary people are envious of it.
Cars quickly became popular, and sales at the Mercedes-Benz car store became extremely popular. Orders had already come in before the car was produced. In a short period of time, the number of orders exceeded thousands, which was enough for the Mercedes-Benz car factory.
Production takes several months.
And as more and more people own cars and experience the magic of cars, the sales of Mercedes-Benz cars are still soaring at a terrifying speed.
