Chapter 1826 Open to Traffic
At the beginning, the Qi refining disciples of the two groups did not attach much importance to laying the foundation. Gazi and Xiaotianshi had to emphasize repeatedly that this was the top priority and explained the possible troubles caused by the sinking of the foundation. .
After all, immortal cultivators have a broader vision than ordinary people. After working for two days, everyone figured out the construction model.
In the final analysis, the main thing is to use your strength to smash out the foundation, then use a storage bag to sprinkle a bunch of gravel to pile it up, and leave the rest to lay the sleepers and twist the rails and leave it to mortals.
After another two days, the disciples of the two factions actually figured out a way to cooperate. Because the two railways were not far apart, when laying the foundation, they could handle it together. Anyway, each family was responsible for a section.
Another day later, they came up with a new way to construct multiple sections together!
Of course, the requirements for docking are a bit stricter, but in the eyes of immortal cultivators, this matter is really nothing.
Generally speaking, it is not a problem for a disciple in the Qi refining stage to use a magic weapon to pound the ground for more than a thousand meters every day.
But later on, Master Chuchen of both companies also took action, and the construction progress was greatly improved. On the first forty days, more than 200 kilometers of bidirectional railway was completed.
In this process, ordinary people in the mortal world contributed a lot, especially the help of a large number of warriors and martial arts masters, which accelerated the speed. Feng Jun was shocked to find that people in the Kunhao plane also had the potential to be infrastructure madmen.
The disciples of the two groups were building the railway. Feng Jun's people were responsible for support and supervision at first. Later, seeing that they were getting more and more skilled, they simply built branch roads at both ends of the railway, built two train stations, and also experimented with steam. The front of the locomotive.
Seeing this, the children of the Tian family, Mi family and Yu family couldn't help but come up to take a look and learn how to operate it.
A month and a half later, the railway from Zhige Mountain to Zhige County was officially opened to traffic. On the day of the opening, the locomotive pulled eight passenger cars, five freight cars, and two tank cars, and sounded the whistle.
The bus carried many people watching the excitement, as well as many family members who came to shop.
Seeing the long train going faster and faster, rushing towards the distance, just watching the excitement, but many family members looked at each other - is this mode of transportation too scary?
The children of the Yu family and the Mi family also had strange expressions on their faces. They knew that the train was very powerful, but they really didn't expect that it could pull so many things. You must know that those trucks were full of stones produced in Zhige Mountain - this Stone is a good material for building a house.
The Yu family is a carriage and horse business, while the Mi family is a businessman, and they both pay great attention to transportation. In particular, the Yu family's carriage and horse business has a large number of horses, vehicles and coachmen, which mainly provides passenger services and also provides carriage rentals.
As soon as the train opened, it was almost like digging up their roots, and many people looked very ugly.
But it was Shanzhu Feng who did this. They couldn't even think of opposing it. That was a high-level world. There were cultivators in the Yu family, but Yu Changqing was just in the Qi refining stage now, so there was no comparison. OK?
Fortunately, someone finally thought of something, "It seems we can also build this train."
Huh? This is a good idea. Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, "If the cost is not high if it is shared equally, you can consider it."
But then, someone poured cold water on it, "Let's not talk about how much the cost will be if it is divided equally. The cost of this railway is not small!"
There was silence in the carriage again. Disciples from the two factions were building the railway these days. Everyone had seen it with their own eyes. Leaving aside the huge amount of work, just how much did it cost to build the railway track that stretched for hundreds of miles?
"It's a good thing that railways are expensive," someone else said. "Most people can't afford it, so why don't they have to take a horse-drawn carriage?"
Amidst the noise, the train finally arrived outside Zhige County.
Feng Jun and others also followed the train the whole way, but they were flying close to the ground beside it.
"The maximum speed is 110 kilometers," Zhang Caixin muttered softly, "it's still too slow."
"It's not too slow," Yang Yuxin said in a deep voice, "Two hundred and twenty kilometers took two and a half hours, which is already very fast."
When the train arrived at the station, people in the carriage swarmed out, chatting enthusiastically. Some merchants who had already received the news sent laborers to come and began to move stones from the truck. "What a big stone." , it’s not easy to meet each other!”
The train station outside Zhige City has been established for more than ten days. People in the county also know that this is a new means of transportation. When they found out that it was on trial today, nearly 20,000 people came to watch - the entertainment here There are too few activities.
When they saw the long train with their own eyes, they couldn't help but be stunned. There was such a huge means of transportation in the world. It was truly an immortal trick.
Some people are shocked, while others are worried. Half of the people in Zhige County now rely on services provided by Zhige Mountain for their survival, such as those who sell grain and handmade textiles.
Take those who sell grain, grain, and alcohol as an example. Many people wholesale grain from the county town and drive more than 400 miles to Zhige Mountain in their carriages, and then buy cigarettes, lighters, toilet paper, snow salt and other items. return.
This kind of business is absolutely impossible without a carriage. If you push it four hundred miles on your shoulders and hands, you will have run out of food by the time you get there, and... you have to be careful of robbers on the road.
So usually a dozen people get together, catch up with seven or eight carriages, and go to Zhige Mountain.
It basically takes ten days to go back and forth. If you make two trips a month, your life will be enjoyable.
Now that the train is connected, everyone can do this business, and there is basically no need to consider the problem of robbers - even grain merchants can transport grain directly, and middlemen will no longer be able to survive.
There are many people with sad faces, but there are even more happy people. There are too many people gathered in Zhige Mountain, and there is a job for everyone. In the past, it was too inconvenient for everyone to go there, and they were afraid of danger on the road, but now they can go if they want to.
However, many interested people gathered around the Tian family, asking about the speed, price, maximum cargo capacity and transportation cost of the train - of course, the cost of the railway was the top priority.
The Tian family is not very interested in this because the train is not under their control.
Strictly speaking, they can also manage it, but they are jointly managed by three families - the Tian family, the Yu family and the Mi family, of which the Mi family owns 40%.
Feng Jun's attitude is very clear. Since Mi Yunshan has followed him, something good has happened in the secular world, and the Mi family must be given priority.
This railway and train transportation are for demonstration purposes. He has no intention of making money, but he must show the appearance of running a business, so he divided 20% of the dry shares to these three companies - you help me manage it, and you get 20% of the profit. Three points.
The Mi family has a little more, and the 20% is divided into ten parts, the Mi family has four parts, and the other two families have three parts.
As for how to calculate this profit? Don't even consider the initial investment. There are various costs involved in operation - such as coal and water, vehicle maintenance and road maintenance... After these costs are factored out, that's profit.
Even the fares and transportation fees were not stipulated by him, saying that they should be discussed by both of you.
He really doesn't want to make hard and fast rules, because those who know the locals will always be locals. Since 20% of the profits have been divided, he believes that these three companies will set the price seriously - if the price is too high, no one will take the seat, and if the price is too low, no one will take the seat. It's their own loss.
He really shocked these three companies by letting go so much. He said that the power of pricing must be yours, and how could your early investment not be included in the cost?
Of course Feng Jun can declare that he doesn't care about the cost - he is here as a cultivator.
But in the end, he said, "I don't plan to make money from this. What I care about is that once the traffic becomes smoother, it can attract more people. With popularity, are you afraid that you won't be able to make money?"
Those three families have never heard of the word "popularity", but this does not prevent them from understanding its meaning. When they heard this, they couldn't help but sigh, the Immortal Family is the Immortal Family, and just speaking of this vision, they are much more generous than us.
In fact, they can also estimate that if the initial investment is included, if the railway system wants to recover its capital quickly, it can only count on the generosity of large customers, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net But if this is not considered, if it wants to earn Money is really simple.
Of course, they can also guess why Feng Jun asked three companies to cooperate in management. That is because it is too easy for disadvantages to occur if managed by one company. If the three companies supervise each other, then it will be fine.
As for the three families joining together to sideline Feng Jun who is not in charge? Wake up, once Feng Jun gets angry, he can kill all three of their families without any reason - the Immortal family cannot be bullied.
Dirtyness is easy to occur in business cooperation, because the strength of the two parties is not much different. If there is a huge difference in level, one party has the qualifications to crush the other, where is the soil for the occurrence of impurity?
Two and a half hours after the first train arrived, the second train also arrived. This train only had five passenger cars, but it pulled fifteen freight cars. In addition to large pieces of stone, there were also three wagons on the car. Daily necessities.
Daily necessities are not just lighters, cigarettes, snow salt, etc., there are also some that take up a lot of space, such as canned fruits, thermos bottles, not to mention pot machines.
Both trains were unloading. It took three hours for the first train to empty its cargo, but the carriages were already crowded with people who planned to go back. Some people came to Zhige County and planned to rest for a few days, but Zhige County Here, more people want to visit Zhige Mountain.
The ticket has not yet been agreed on, it is just a symbolic five copper coins. Most people can afford to sit on it, and there are many people who want to sit on it. However, there are three companies that are maintaining order and screening people to get on the bus. A maximum of 150 coins can be placed in one car. Ten people go up.
There were dozens of people standing here, but it didn't matter, they were just taking advantage of the excitement. The people standing looked around, not feeling embarrassed at all, but looking interested.
In the end, many people still went to the trucks to stay with the grains and vegetables - yes, some people were already transporting goods to Zhige Mountain, even if they were just some agricultural products.
