Chapter 291
The news that the Datang Chamber of Commerce held an event and gave away free bicycles quickly spread in Yalinx.
bike? What it is?
Having never heard of bicycles, the business alliance with a keen sense of smell naturally came together to watch at the first time, and even sent special personnel to hide in the team, and got a bicycle immediately after participating in the event.
After the chairman Sidney and the others saw the magical effect of the bicycle, they were all stunned.
"Wonderful idea! Simply fantastic idea!"
Even though Sidney hated Tang En very much, he had to admit that the bicycle launched by Datang Chamber of Commerce could change the whole society!
They are not stupid. Although a bicycle is just a means of transportation, the meaning behind it is too great. The way people travel will completely change in the future!
"That Tang En is simply an idiot!"
Baron Bilbohm was full of sarcasm: "This product that can change the world, he actually gave it away for free! And it only sells for ten gold coins! If it were me, each of these new products would sell for a thousand gold coins!"
"you are wrong."
President Sidney looked cautious: "This is why your carriage business has been stagnant, while Tang En's Datang Chamber of Commerce has successfully risen."
Bill Bohm was startled: "You mean..."
"The emergence of every new thing will have a long promotion period. If it is allowed to develop freely, this promotion period will be very long."
President Sidney said in a deep voice: "But last time we all knew that Twain is a very arrogant and ambitious person! Bicycles can change the world, and what he wants to do is probably to make his name last forever. The annals of history, so he will definitely shorten the promotion cycle as much as possible, and the cheap sales price is undoubtedly the best way to promote."
Chairman Sidney rubbed the bicycle, carefully observed the precise bearing structure, and said with a look of amazement: "Look at these components, what a sophisticated and ingenious design, the craftsmanship of this part alone is worth ten gold coins , Baron Bilbohm, if all the carriages in your carriage shop are modified with this kind of parts, have you ever wondered how much your carriage speed will increase?"
Bill Bohm thought about it carefully, and his expression changed instantly.
"Not only that, there is so much revealed on this bike, look at this soft and elastic material, how is it processed? Where is it obtained? And here, this name is ' Spring' shock absorber, who would have thought of such an ingenious design?"
President Sidney said in a deep voice: "All of us underestimated the potential of the Datang Chamber of Commerce. They hide many powerful and unknown technologies!"
The surroundings were silent for a while, and no one expected that the Datang Chamber of Commerce, which they had ruthlessly ridiculed at the beginning and was even jointly blocked by them, had unknowingly become a powerful chamber of commerce that was not weaker than any of them!
But at this moment, Tang En was watching with a smile on his face as more and more people happily rode their bicycles, practicing their cycling skills in the isolated open space next to them.
Some things, once started, cannot be stopped.
I hope that the world can change faster like riding a bicycle.
Fiona next to her carefully observed the expressions, speech and behavior of those people after getting the bicycle, carefully recorded them, and then analyzed useful information from them.
Fiona breathed a sigh of relief. So far, the lord's plan is going very smoothly. Because it can be obtained for free, people accept this unfamiliar means of transportation very quickly. Once these people get used to using bicycles to travel , then a phenomenon-level trend will soon be formed, and more people will join in and begin to master this new type of transportation.
After people get used to bicycles, the introduction of more convenient magic energy bicycles will definitely lead the trend again.
"your Highness."
"Baron Dunn."
Princess Aurelia withdrew her gaze and said nonchalantly, "Shouldn't you thank me?"
"If Her Royal Highness wants it, of course."
Tang En spread his hands: "I just don't know what Her Royal Highness wants? A magic air conditioner? Or a refrigerator?"
In fact, the reason why things went so smoothly today is indeed due to Princess Aurelia. If she hadn't participated in the event and tried a bicycle, the others wouldn't have been so active in enjoying it.
Her Royal Highness Princess Aurelia and I participated in the same show, and also won the same prize-this is already a glorious experience that many ordinary people are worth showing off for a lifetime.
Princess Aurelia wanted to kill Tang En, but she had to maintain the demeanor of a princess in her current status, which made her extremely aggrieved.
After seeing Tang En's attitude, Princess Aurelia smiled slightly, and said casually: "We have already used the air conditioner and refrigerator, but I think this bicycle is very good, Baron Tang En, if you want to thank me, why not give it to me?" How many thousand are used?"
"OK."
"Of course I know you won't agree to—Huh!?"
Princess Alleria froze suddenly, with a look of disbelief on her face: "What did you say?"
"I said yes."
Tang En nodded: "The current production capacity has not been increased, and the production line is still in preparation. I will give you 5,000 cars for use first, and if there is not enough, how about sending you 5,000 cars later?"
There was a crisp "click" in Fiona's hand, and the nib of the pen broke in two. Noticing the eyes of others, she said nonchalantly, "Sorry, my hand slipped."
After finishing speaking, Fiona casually walked behind Tang En, pretending to hold a pen, but pinched him severely.
It's impossible not to wake him up!
Because he started going crazy again!
Although the activities in the past few days are also given away for free, the brand effect—that is to say—and the accompanying market effects are enough to pay back the cost, and there are not many cars given away, so the cost of the event is not high.
But Tang En's mouth is so good, he gave away 10,000 bicycles with a big mouth!
Even if the cost price of each bicycle is calculated, it is nearly 50,000 gold coins!
Even if you want to please the royal family, at least you have to charge a cost price!
Otherwise, if you lose money and make money every day, the people in Ellington will drink the northwest wind in a short time!
"Sorry, Baron Tang En, I seem to have not woken up yet..."
"No, you heard me right, I meant to give you 10,000 bicycles."
Tang En ignored Fiona's fire-breathing eyes behind him, and said with a smile: "And when the production line is in place, the promise will be fulfilled soon, so let's take it as a thank you to Her Highness the Princess."
OK!
Fiona looked at Princess Aurelia with a sour look. This guy's affection was to please Princess Aurelia.
Hmph, she's a princess anyway, she's tall anyway, she's not as attractive as her anyway!
As the saying goes, people in love have zero IQ. If Fiona can calm down and look at things objectively, she will find that Tang En's actions are actually to quickly achieve the purpose of creating a market with the help of the royal family.
It's a pity that the girl in crush is always blind, and now she only thinks that Tang En is trying to curry favor with Princess Aurelia.
And Princess Aurelia... was indeed stunned.
She is not stupid, and Tang En is not someone who can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman—otherwise he wouldn't treat Ye Ge like that—then why did he give himself 10,000 bicycles?
Just to please yourself? What a joke, only ghosts will believe it.
What is his purpose?
After calmly thinking for a while, Princess Alleria frowned: "Baron Tang En, what is your condition?"
Tang En joked: "I thought Her Royal Highness would immediately accept my kindness happily."
Alleria stared at him without saying a word.
"Alright alright."
Tang En had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender: "I confess, in fact, I want to use the means of the royal family to quickly promote bicycles. I hope to promote green travel activities, so that the municipal staff in the towns will stop using horse-drawn carriages and use bicycles when going out. Equip postmen with bicycles to deliver letters faster."
Princess Alleria frowned first, and after thinking for a moment, stretched her brows and nodded: "It's a good idea."
If all the city staff replace bicycles, the activities of many carriages will inevitably be reduced, the consumption of forage will be greatly reduced, more forage can be saved to prepare for possible wars, and the reduction of carriage trips will also reduce the excretion of feces. The Internet will be cleaner, and this green travel activity is indeed feasible.
As for postmen, the imperial government is not yet rich enough to equip all postmen with horses, so postmen rely on their feet to deliver letters. If they are equipped with bicycles, the delivery efficiency will definitely increase exponentially. The speed of message transmission has also been greatly accelerated, and the benefits are immeasurable.
Tang En said heartily: "These 10,000 bicycles are from the Datang Chamber of Commerce... er, or Ellington, we don't charge any fees for the sponsorship of the imperial family. Please believe my sincerity."
"Then Datang Chamber of Commerce can also obtain an advertising effect and rapidly expand the market, right?"
Tang En looked at Aurelia with admiration: "Do you still understand advertising?"
"Hilton told me."
Tang En was startled: "Did you meet her later?"
Alleria's heart tightened, and she said nonchalantly, "What's wrong? Can't you?"
"Oh, that's not..."
Tang En smiled and said: "As you said, sponsoring the royal family, replacing bicycles in large numbers, making bicycles a social phenomenon, we will gain a huge market, and the cost invested in these 10,000 bicycles will be paid off soon. Come back, this is a win-win situation, I hope we can have a happy cooperation."
Alleria said abruptly, "Let's forget it."
The smile froze on Tang En's face.
What is the meaning of this woman's sudden face change?
