On the mountain road, Xiong Laosan drove his motorcycle as fast as a gust of wind. Even though there was a steep slope ahead, he was not afraid at all. He pressed the accelerator, the motorcycle made a sound, and he rushed up.
"Oh haha"
Rushing up the slope, Xiong Laosan couldn't help but shout out happily. In the past, going up this long slope was always a pain. It was better when I didn't bring many things. But when there were too many things, pushing the bicycle became tiring.
I'm almost exhausted from going up there even once, and such uphill and downhill climbs are so common in this hilly area.
"Xiong Laosan, what kind of car is this?"
"Come up all at once?"
On the slope, a man riding a bicycle carrying more than 100 kilograms of things was stopping to rest panting. Seeing Xiong Laosan coming up all of a sudden, he also asked curiously.
"This is called a motorcycle. Just like a car, it's driven by an internal combustion engine. You don't need to pedal. It's very powerful. Did you see that I also have a thousand-jin thing on the back? I press the accelerator and it goes up.
, it saves a lot of effort, hurry up and buy one.”
Xiong Laosan naturally said proudly.
"Isn't this expensive?"
"Not expensive, not expensive, just 200 taels of silver."
"My dear, 200 taels of silver is not expensive, right?"
"You get what you pay for. Where are you going? I'll take you for a ride."
"I'm going to Luojia Village"
"I'm also going to Luojia Village. Let's take a walk. Put your things in the back. You can also put your bicycle on it. I'll take you on this motorcycle."
Xiong Laosan said enthusiastically, but of course he was more vocal. He quickly put the other person's things in the back compartment, and the other person also sat in the small seat in front of him.
Then Xiong Laosan drove his motorcycle like a gust of wind. It took only half an hour to reach Luojia Village in just ten minutes.
"Ouch"
"This thing is great. It's fast, strong, and can hold so many things."
When we arrived at Luojia Village, people riding in the car couldn't help but praise him.
"Haha, that's of course. It's perfect for running around in our mountainous area. Go buy one quickly, there's one in Gan County."
Xiong Laosan said with a smile.
Xiong Laosan is like a wind coming from the city. He not only brings products from all over the world to every corner of the mountainous area in southern Gansu, giving the people in the mountainous area a new insight and broadening their horizons, but also makes people in the mountainous area more knowledgeable.
His motorcycle has entered the sight of thousands of households.
Being able to run very fast in mountainous areas, and being able to carry a thousand kilograms of stuff uphill without taking a breath, such a good thing is really important to people in mountainous areas.
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 for going out and so on.
But it is still possible to bike in plain areas, but it will be very tiring to walk in mountainous areas. There are too many uphill and downhill places. It is okay not to bring anything. But if you carry hundreds of kilograms of cargo, it will be tiring. I recommend it.
My hands are sore and my feet are numb.
It’s different now that we have a motorcycle!
Boss Lai’s motorcycle shop in Gan County.
At the beginning, business was not easy and there were very few people buying. But after a month or two, more and more people came to the store to inquire.
"Mr. Li, this thing is very good and fast. When going out to visit relatives and friends, it is much more convenient to drive a motorcycle. It is much better than a bicycle. With your status, you have to buy one."
"210 taels of silver, I haven't made any money from you."
“One car costs 200 taels, and it seems pretty good.”
"200 taels is really not enough. My purchase price is 200 taels of silver."
"If you don't sell it, you will be defeated."
"205 taels, you let me earn some money."
"Fine"
"Okay, I've gone through all the procedures for you."
Boss Lai watched a landlord slowly and leisurely leave on his motorcycle, smiling from ear to ear.
The dozen or so motorcycles he bought at the beginning have now been sold, and he is not planning to sell the remaining two, but will keep them in the shop as samples so that if anyone comes to see the bikes, they can try them out.
"This motorcycle is sold out. We need to replenish it quickly. This time I want to buy more. I will buy 100 units before I buy it."
Boss Lai silently calculated, this motorcycle is getting better and better to sell now, and more and more people are asking about it, so he should seize the opportunity to replenish the stock.
"Boss, boss"
"There's news, there's news."
At this time, a waiter came over in a hurry and said.
"How to say?"
Boss Lai asked quickly.
"Boss Wang, the agent in Nanchang, said that motorcycles are very popular now and are selling better and better everywhere. At most, he will give us 30 motorcycles here."
The guy said quickly.
"There are only 30 motorcycles. There is not enough for us to sell. It is estimated that they will be sold out within half a month."
When Boss Lai heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied. He used to worry about not being able to sell the goods, but now he is worried about running out of goods.
"I'll go to Nanchang. If there are goods, you can sell them first. They cost 210 taels of silver each. No less than one tael of silver. There are so many people buying now, so our price has to be raised a little."
"I was only given 30 motorcycles. I am so big in Gannan. These motorcycles are not even enough for playing house."
"This time I go to Nanchang in person, at least 100 cars will be given to me."
Boss Lai also quickly told his clerk that it was not good to send a telegram because he could only get 30 cars. He had to go to Nanchang in person to find a superior agent.
Boss Lai took the train that day and arrived in Nanchang in the evening, and directly found the Jiangxi agent Boss Wang.
Boss Wang's motorcycle sales shop is also crowded here. Dealers from all over the place come to Boss Wang with only one purpose, and that is to ask for goods from Boss Wang.
"Boss Wang, Jiujiang is such a big place. 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, have been the richest place in Jiangxi since ancient times. If you give me 30 motorcycles, they can't even make waves. I sold them in minutes. This time, you
No matter what, you have to send me at least 300 motorcycles, and I have brought you all the money."
A boss in Fuzhou also said angrily, "Who are you looking down on? Just give me 30 motorcycles. I don't want to do business anymore."
"Boss Wang, I'm here in person this time. No matter what, you have to give me more. Last time, everyone didn't want motorcycles, but I had to buy 30 of them and sell them."
A boss from Jingdezhen also shouted.
"Everyone, everyone"
Boss Wang saw everyone trying to tear him to death, and he quickly said: "It's not that I don't want to send you more goods, but 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 among everyone."
"If you don't believe it, you can take a look at this telegram of mine. This is the telegram I just went to the telegraph office to send to the Beijing Benz Motorcycle Factory. I will show you the reply they gave me."
"It is clearly written on it that the current production of motorcycles is limited, and their factory's monthly output is less than 20,000 units. Now it is not only our Ming Dynasty that wants to sell them, but also overseas vassals and colonies, our Ming Dynasty's
They are sold in vassal countries and all over the world."
"Of course it's not enough to distribute and sell."
"But the good news is that the Mercedes-Benz Automobile Factory will build a branch factory in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. After this factory is put into production, by next year, the production of motorcycles will be greatly increased. By that time, how many products will everyone want?
You can have as many goods as you like.”
Boss Wang is also very anxious. There are not enough motorcycles to sell, which will seriously affect his income. He also wants to go to the capital to ask Duan Hai for the goods right now.
But there is no way. The output of motorcycles is so high now, and the price of goods is less than that. The factory has already calculated it, and each place will distribute a small amount of goods to let more people know about motorcycles.
, only in the future can we continue to exert our efforts, instead of selling all the goods in one place.
Otherwise, the major cities of Ming Dynasty alone would not be able to sell these motorcycles, and it would be the southern Gansu region’s turn to sell these motorcycles.
"Nanchang Jian Branch Factory?"
"This is a good thing. From now on, we Jiangxi people can work in Nanchang instead of going to Songhu."
"Isn't that right? I heard that it is because the Yangtze River is now dredged and a large wharf and port have been built on Poyang Lake. This outlet is very convenient for transportation. It is also said that the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge will be completed and opened to traffic next year. By then
, the train can connect the north and the south, which will be very convenient."
"Transportation is much better now than before. With cement roads, railways, and waterways, all business transactions are much more convenient."
"I heard that the imperial court is also building a railway to Guangdong. If it is completed by then, we can directly go to the sea through Guangzhou in Guangdong, which will be more convenient."
When everyone heard this, they immediately started talking.
