Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Nine: The Tragic Wu Brothers
Cheng Chuliang and a group of friends went crazy.
In the past few days, they were enjoying their bike rides, but they were far from having enough fun.
Riding bicycles is so much fun, and they enjoy it endlessly.
At this time, many people were following them.
There were even some little girls here, screaming and cheering nearby. How could this not make them even more excited?
While Cheng Chuliang was riding happily, he was suddenly blocked by someone.
Fortunately, Cheng Chuliang braked quickly and stopped the car in time.
Otherwise, we would really bump into this person.
Cheng Chuliang's fiery temper can't stand this.
He couldn't help but glared, and opened his mouth to curse.
The curse words were already on his lips. When he raised his eyes, he realized that something seemed wrong.
Because the person blocking his way was actually his father, Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Chuliang quickly asked: "Yeah, why are you here?"
Being stopped by Cheng Yaojin, other friends also stopped one after another.
Cheng Yaojin chuckled and couldn't help but ask: "Chu Liang, what is the name of this guy you can ride so well?"
Cheng Chuliang suddenly felt an unpleasant feeling in his heart.
Previous lessons taught him that as long as his father likes something, he will basically take it away in the end.
Cheng Chuliang said carefully: "Yeah, this is called a bicycle."
"Oh, the bicycle looks pretty good. Come on, let me ride it. Isn't it fun?"
Whoosh!
Cheng Chuliang had already expected this scene, so before his father could finish speaking, he kicked his feet to the ground and ran away.
Unfortunately, Cheng Yaojin grabbed the front wheel.
"Humph! You bastard, you still dare to play this trick with me? These are all the leftovers from my fun, okay? I've been waiting for you here for a long time!"
Seeing his father's triumphant attitude, Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Whoever falls in love with such a father will be in trouble for eight lifetimes.
Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but said: "Yeah, this bicycle doesn't belong to my son. It was given to us by the King of Shu for display in Chang'an City, so I really can't give it to you."
Cheng Yaojin said with a smile: "I told you earlier, so this bicycle is not yours? That would be much easier, even if it was given to me by the King of Shu! It's just a bicycle, and the King of Shu would not be so stingy.
You can’t bear to do this, right?”
Come on!
It’s better not to say this!
Cheng Chuliang felt tired. When he met his father, nothing made any sense.
"No! I won't give you anything today. I really have something serious to do!"
"You little bastard, you've become more capable, haven't you? Bring it here, you!"
"No! No! Just no!"
"Let go!"
These father and son are not just quarreling.
One grabbed the handlebar and pulled it back, while the other grabbed the tire of the front car with both hands and pulled it forward.
Hey!
Bang!
Then, the front wheel of the bicycle was ripped off.
Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chuliang looked at each other, and both father and son were dumbfounded.
Cheng Chuliang glared at him and said angrily: "Old man, I want you to act like a robber, rob, rob, rob, and rob again? Don't you want to rob now? Ah? You are so strong that you can even pull a tire.
Drop! How awesome are you? Come on, no one needs to ride now!"
Cheng Yaojin seemed to feel that what he did was unreasonable, and he couldn't hold his head up after being scolded by Cheng Chuliang.
But in the end, being scolded by Cheng Chuliang made me a little angry!
"You little bastard, it's not over yet, is it? It's just a bicycle, isn't it? Why, you still have to chop off my head?"
Next to them, Qin Huaiyu, Yuchi Baoqi and other friends were all laughing at this scene.
However, they didn't dare to laugh. They laughed so much that their whole bodies twitched, and they almost suffered internal injuries.
At this moment, the tires of Cheng Chuliang's bicycle were pulled off. They were afraid that Cheng Yaojin would target their bicycle.
If you really want to keep an eye on their bicycles, they won't be able to escape except obediently sending them up.
Therefore, Qin Huaiyu hurriedly said: "Uncle Cheng, Chu Liang, we are leaving first. We will see you later."
After saying that, without giving them any time to react, the friends kicked the ground hard and ran away.
Cheng Chuliang secretly scolded these friends for not being interesting enough.
Cheng Yaojin picked up the tire and said to Cheng Chuliang: "Let's go repair the bicycle."
Cheng Chuliang asked doubtfully: "Yeah, can you repair a bicycle?"
Cheng Yaojin pointed at Cheng Chuliang and said with hatred: "You bastard thing, where can I repair bicycles? But there are people who can repair them. The headquarters of China Commercial Bank in Chang'an will definitely repair bicycles. They sell bicycles, can they?
Do you want to cultivate? Oh, I’m telling you, you’re still early!”
Yes, that is indeed the case.
So, Cheng Chuliang carried the bicycle, Cheng Yaojin took the front tire, and they went straight to the Chang'an headquarters of China Commercial Bank.
Not long after, the two men arrived at the Chang'an headquarters of China Commercial Bank.
Then I discovered that people buying bicycles here went crazy.
There are no fewer wealthy people in Chang'an than in Yizhou.
Many people rushed over in a hurry, but in the end, they didn't even get the reserved spots.
After these people finished their work, the father and son took out the bicycles.
Cheng Yaojin's guess was correct, there were indeed maintenance personnel here.
However, I saw the screws that had been violently broken.
The maintenance staff were secretly stunned.
Can anyone tell me what happened to this bike?
Of course, he could only keep this kind of question in his heart and did not dare to ask it out loud.
Then, they spent a long time before completely repairing the bicycle.
After repairing it, Cheng Yaojin couldn't wait to take it away.
And Cheng Chuliang was too lazy to compete with his father.
Cheng Chuliang had an intuition that if he dared to rob again, he would probably get beaten today.
Walking out of the Chang'an headquarters of China Commercial Bank, Cheng Yaojin smiled and couldn't help but ask Cheng Chuliang: "Chuliang, how should I ride this bicycle?"
Cheng Chuliang really doesn't want to teach him, because as long as he teaches me, he probably won't even be able to touch this bicycle in the future.
But if you don't teach me, I'm afraid you'll get beaten now.
So Cheng Chuliang had no choice but to say: "Yeah, you ride up with your legs crossed first, and then I'll help you catch it from behind, and you just pedal. When you're almost done with it, I'll let go, and then you'll be able to ride."
Huh?
This approach sounds good.
Cheng Yaojin crossed his legs and rode up, then let Cheng Chuliang catch him from behind. Cheng Yaojin learned to ride a bicycle.
Cheng Yaojin fought hundreds of battles in the South. He was a general on horseback. His waist and body skills were naturally excellent, and his balance ability was first-rate.
Therefore, learning to ride a bicycle is very fast.
However, in less than half an hour, with the help of Cheng Chuliang, he was riding very smoothly.
However, Cheng Chuliang was exhausted.
Because Cheng Yaojin is actually very timid when it comes to certain things.
I don’t know how many times Cheng Chuliang wanted to let go, but Cheng Yaojin refused to let go.
He also threatened Cheng Chuliang that if he dared to let go, he would be beaten to death today.
Growing up, Cheng Chuliang was really afraid of being beaten.
Since I won't let you go, let's keep catching you.
In just half an hour, after walking around countless streets, Cheng Chuliang was really exhausted.
Then, Cheng Yaojin became addicted to riding and rode faster and faster.
Cheng Chuliang caught him from behind, but he really couldn't keep up.
Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but gasped: "Yeah, I can't keep up, I really can't keep up, I let go!"
"Don't let go, don't let go, if you dare to let go, I will beat you to death today!"
In fact, at that time, Cheng Chuliang had already let go, and Cheng Yaojin didn't know it yet.
While Cheng Yaojin was riding fast, he was still shouting: "Chu Liang, listen up, you little bastard, you must not let go!"
Cheng Chuliang was behind, holding his knees with both hands, and said out of breath: "Old man, I have let go a long time ago. You are still riding well! Come on, I am optimistic about you!"
Boom!
Boom!
As soon as Cheng Chuliang finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin rode his bike directly to the wall in front of him. This wall was still an earthen wall and it collapsed.
I have a big groove, is it so violent?
Cheng Chuliang was so frightened that he didn't even bother to breathe. He ran over and dug up the soil to save others.
It took a long time to pull Cheng Yaojin out of the mound of soil.
Cheng Yaojin was choked and coughed for a long time, and then the first thing he said to Cheng Chuliang was: "Leave me alone, I'm thick-skinned and it's fine. Come and see if the car is damaged?"
Cheng Chuliang was speechless for a while and had no choice but to help Cheng Yaojin sit down next to him.
Then, after spending a long time again, he pulled the bicycle out.
Then it was discovered that this time, the spokes of the bicycle were bent.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Yaojin was furious and couldn't help but said angrily: "Didn't I tell you not to let go? Ah? Who told you to let go?"
Cheng Chuliang said speechlessly: "Old man, are you still being unreasonable? You are riding so fast, you have covered almost half of Chang'an City. If I run behind you, can I catch up with you? Besides, I
I’ve let go for a long time, and I’ve told you it’s okay, so why are you still hitting the wall?”
Um?
This little brat has let go a long time ago?
Could it be said that I have learned to ride a bicycle?
If you weren't afraid of being nervous, you wouldn't be able to hit the wall at all?
However, was this little brat just lecturing me?
Cheng Bitjinniu glared and cursed: "You little bastard, your wings are stiff, aren't they? How dare you scold me? You dared not listen to me just now and let go. Let's see if I can't beat you to death today!"
After that, get up and take action.
When Cheng Chuliang saw that the situation was not good, he was so frightened that he ran away.
Cheng Yaojin chased after him for two steps, then he couldn't help but stop with his hands on his waist, breathing cold air from his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Chuliang was also shocked.
Isn't the old thing smashed?
"Yeah, how are you injured? How about I take you to Yizhou First People's Hospital tomorrow to have a look."
Of course, there are doctors in Chang'an City, and you can even ask for an imperial doctor inside the palace.
But in Cheng Huailiang's eyes, even the imperial doctors in the palace could not compare with the level of the First People's Hospital.
Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said: "It's okay, I'm not that delicate yet! This little injury will be fine after a little sleep. Come on, take this bicycle and go get it repaired."
Then, Cheng Chuliang had no choice but to pick up his bicycle, and the two of them went straight to the Chang'an headquarters of China Commercial Bank.
Inside the Chang'an headquarters of China Commercial Bank, seeing the two men leaving and returning, they were speechless for a while.
How long has it been?
Tell me, how long has it been?
What happened to this bike?
Alas, this bicycle, along with these men, has been in trouble for eight lifetimes!
The maintenance staff checked the bicycle and found that it was severely damaged this time and that it was no longer easy to repair.
Because the bicycle business has just started, some parts have not yet been shipped.
The bike cannot be repaired until the parts are shipped.
But when the maintenance staff saw Cheng Yaojin's appearance, he was afraid that if he dared to say that the repair couldn't be done well, he would come up and beat him.
After struggling for a long time, I asked the leader for instructions.
Finally, they brought out a new bicycle and gave it to Cheng Yaojin.
"Gong Lu, this is the last bicycle we have here. If it gets damaged again this time, it will really be gone."
Huh?
There is a brand new bicycle here?
Cheng Yaojin took the bicycle from the maintenance staff and said carelessly: "Don't worry, I take good care of my bicycle and it will never be broken."
cherish?
Are you sure it's really you you're talking about?
If you really cherish it, can you drop it twice a day?
The one that fell down the last time can’t even be repaired?
Of course, they only dare to think about this in their hearts, but they never dare to say it out loud.
Finally, a group of people sent Cheng Yaojin away like a plague.
After exiting the gate of the Chang'an headquarters of China Commercial Bank, Cheng Yaojin crossed his legs and sat on it.
"Come on, Chu Liang, come here and catch me."
Cheng Chuliang asked speechlessly for a while: "Yeah, are you still riding? Are you okay?"
Cheng Yaojin glared and said, "What's the matter with me? I told you it's all right long ago! Come and catch me, don't worry, I'll ride slower this time."
Cheng Chuliang had no choice but to come over and help him hold the back seat.
What surprised Cheng Chuliang was that this time, his father, Cheng Yaojin, really rode steadily.
After riding for a while, Cheng Yaojin said to Cheng Chuliang: "Okay, let go."
Um?
This time the old guy actually asked me to let him go. What was going on?
"You can?"
"What are you talking about? Let me go quickly."
"Okay, I'm already relaxed!"
When he heard that Cheng Chuliang had let go, Cheng Yaojin became nervous for a while. After riding the car erratically for a while, Cheng Yaojin soon regained his balance.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but feel relieved.
He also learned to ride a bicycle and knew that his father had already learned how to ride a bicycle.
Then, Cheng Yaojin said to him: "Okay, I want to go shopping on my bicycle, you should go back first."
After that, Cheng Yaojin pedaled his bicycle and left quickly.
Cheng Chuliang shook his head and walked back home helplessly.
Cheng Yaojin rides his bicycle and walks on the road, and the rate of turning back is 300%.
There were even little girls looking at him frequently.
This made Cheng Yaojin very proud.
However, after riding for a few streets, Cheng Yaojin felt a dull pain in his body.
I was hit a little bit just now and it was really uncomfortable.
Okay, then go home and have a rest first, and there’s no rush to go out and ride again tomorrow.
So, Cheng Yaojin turned around and went straight to Lu Guogong's mansion.
Besides, it took Cheng Chuliang a long time to return to the front of Lu Guogong's mansion. From far away, he saw his father, Cheng Yaojin, rushing back on his bicycle.
But the two of them were not walking the same path.
But at this time, his father looked very nervous and didn't even see him.
Riding until he reached the door of the house, Cheng Yaojin suddenly let go of the handlebars, hugged the stone lion in front of the door tightly, and stopped the car.
Cheng Chuliang stared at this scene dumbfounded, and then couldn't help but ask, "Yeah, what are you doing?"
Only then did Cheng Yaojin see Cheng Chuliang, and then he blushed and said, "Stop the car! Ahem, you just taught me how to ride a bike, but you haven't taught me how to get off the bike yet!"
Huo, this is just to get off the bus!
…
Yizhou New Town, the first project has been completed.
Next, is the second topic.
The second topic that Li Min planned for them to study was the steam engine.
Although steam engines have long been used in the Tang Dynasty, for example, trains are steam engine trains.
In cloth factories, steam engines have also begun to be used.
But those were all redeemed by Li Min from the mall. In Datang, there was no ability to make steam engines by themselves.
Once steam engines were widely used in all walks of life, an industrial revolution that swept the entire Tang Dynasty would begin.
When Li Min called the six people together and told them that the second topic would be the study of steam engines, the faces of these six people all showed extremely excited looks.
Especially Cui Shiniang, uh, her name is Liu Siyuan now.
She knew very well that steam engines were used on trains.
Yizhou Silk Drawing Factory, etc. also use steam engines.
And now, they are finally coming into contact with the steam engine.
Next, Li Min first explained the principles of steam engines.
The principle is actually very simple. It turns out that it just uses the kinetic energy generated by the vaporization of water when it boils, and then converts it into the power that people need.
It turns out that the so-called steam engine only utilizes the power of water.
The next step is to study the structure of the steam engine.
The principle of the steam engine is very simple, and the structure is not very complicated.
Of course, this is because Li Min has already given the structural diagram.
If you start from scratch, you will be blind to the elephant. Without a few years or even more than ten years of effort, you can't even imagine getting the most complete structural diagram.
The next step is to build a template and perform mathematical verification.
Everyone took their responsibilities and started to get busy.
…
The two brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang of Bingzhou sold off their property.
In the end, they still couldn't raise 80 million yuan, so they finally mortgaged the Wu family's old house and took out a loan from Datang Bank, and then they were able to raise enough money for the goods.
And the man named Lao Huang did not lose his credibility and sold enough mirrors to them.
The price is only half of the market price.
This made brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang extremely happy, and they got extremely drunk that night.
The next day, the two brothers started busy.
This time, the two brothers did it themselves.
From store layout to publicity and preparations, the two brothers strive to achieve perfection.
This is probably the only chance for the two brothers to make a comeback.
If they cannot seize this opportunity, they will lose even the Wu family's ancestral home this time.
After death, he has no face to see his ancestors.
But this time, their preliminary preparations went very smoothly, and the next step is for them to sell the mirrors.
Their purchase price is very low, so they can sell at 95% of the market price.
In this way, although their profits are lower, it can ensure that they can sell quickly.
Now, they urgently need to recover their capital quickly.
You know, they are still pressed for old home loans!
Although the interest rates for loans in this bank are much lower than those for loans outside, they are still quite high.
If this is delayed for one day, it is one day's interest.
They want to get their money back as quickly as possible.
After working hard for several days, everything was ready.
Everything is ready now, all we need is the east wind.
The mirror is already on the shelves and will be available for sale tomorrow.
However, in the afternoon of that day, bad news suddenly came.
It is said that there has been a breakthrough in the technology of making mirrors in Yizhou New City.
Now the cost has been greatly reduced. In order to thank all customers, the mirrors are now sold at reduced prices.
The price of mirrors may drop to one-tenth of its original price.
In other words, a large mirror that originally cost ten thousand dollars can now be purchased for only one thousand dollars.
As for those small mirrors, they originally cost one thousand yuan, but now they can be bought for only one hundred yuan.
Although this price is still a little expensive, it is also quite affordable.
The price is within the reach of most families.
After hearing the news, the two brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang couldn't help but vomit blood.
Damn it, you seventh uncle and grandma!
Is it such a coincidence?
You didn't lower the price sooner or later, why did you lower the price at this time?
If you had lowered the price earlier, we wouldn’t have gone out of our way to buy those mirrors in Huang’s hands!
If you had lowered the price later, we wouldn't have lost so much when we had almost sold it.
But now that the price has been reduced, it’s really life-threatening!
Although these two brothers are idiots, they are not stupid.
They smelled a hint of conspiracy.
They reflected that they had all been tricked by Lao Huang!
In other words, they were actually fooled by that bitch from Yizhou!
The two brothers were immediately so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. They immediately led people and aggressively blocked Lao Huang's door.
Even though he was scolded in front of his face, Lao Huang remained calm and asked with a smile: "Brothers Wu, I don't know why you said this?"
Wu Yuanqing cursed and said: "Even now, you are still pretending to be stupid! Old Huang, what are your intentions when you sold the mirror to us two brothers?"
Hearing Wu Yuanqing's words, Lao Huang couldn't help but asked dumbly: "Eh? How come I sold this mirror to you? Wasn't it what your brothers were crying and wanting to buy?"
Well, that's really what happened.
Mr. Huang never said anything about selling them the mirror. They were really rushing to buy it.
But the question is, Lao Huang, do you dare to tell your conscience that you had no prior knowledge of this matter?
It is useless to talk about anything else now.
Wu Yuanqing couldn't help but said with a dark face: "Old Huang, let's not talk about the useless ones. Our brothers don't want these mirrors anymore. We bought them at any price, and we will refund them to you at any price."
