Things from Another World - Chapter 760

[760.Chapter 758 The Influence of the Market]

Over there, Fiona had just given instructions on purchasing medicinal herbs. Over here, the first batch of buses had been delivered in the blink of an eye, and the location of motor vehicle lanes and traffic lights had been reserved in the urban planning long ago. Linton has saved a lot of time in urban traffic transformation. After installing signal lights and isolation fences, buses can already be on the road.

The emergence of buses will completely change the way people travel in the Illus Empire. Of course, such a huge change cannot wait until the buses are completely produced. This is a step-by-step process. It may take a lot of people to be familiar with traffic laws and regulations. time.

The first batch of 400 buses, 200 for Ellington and 200 for Yalinks. Although the transportation transformation of Yalinx has not been completely completed, it has allowed people to adapt to life with buses in advance. .

Although Nicole Peters lives in Arinks, he is a businessman from Ronitant. Of course, his identity is not only a businessman, he is also a spy of Ronitant, collecting goods for King Oscar. Alexis’ information.

As one of the outsiders, his business in Yalinks was oppressed by the Business Alliance, but after the Business Alliance was suppressed to death by Tang En, his spring came. The business is getting more and more prosperous, and sometimes the person who makes money even forgets his real job.

The main means of livelihood that he used to conceal his identity was a carriage and horse shop, which produced carriages and promoted Ronitant’s extremely cost-effective and cheap horses. This bundled sales method allowed him to earn a lot of money. It will allow him to return to the country and live the life of a top noble.

The Harley-Davidson motorcycle that Datang Chamber of Commerce suddenly put on the market a while ago aroused Nicole’s vigilance. The performance of that lightweight and compact single-person vehicle is very superior. It is much more powerful than riding a horse, and its efficiency is completely different.

The only good thing is that this Harley-Davidson can carry at most one passenger in addition to riding it, and it can’t pull cargo, so horse-drawn carriages are still the first choice for businessmen.

Even so, Nicol also bought a Harley motorcycle out of curiosity – he is a two-star member of the Datang Chamber of Commerce.

After a day of simple practice, Nicole was already able to ride a Harley motorcycle very skillfully.

The convenience of Harley-Davidson motorcycles almost completely conquered Nicole.

He couldn’t help but sigh – fortunately this Harley-Davidson motorcycle can only carry one person. If it could carry a few more people, I’m afraid the carriage would be completely unsaleable.

Not long after transmitting the information to His Majesty Oscar, he heard new news these days.

“The introduction of the traffic law? Temporary city bus route plan? Is this related to the upgrading of urban transportation?”

Sitting on the balcony, Nicole looked down at the Datang Daily in her hand, and then looked up at the tinkling bells not far away. The construction team’s eyes were twitching.

Ever since they announced that they would carry out traffic improvements a while ago, the construction team has not been quiet. They have been busy all day long. Nicole could not believe that this was the street closest to the aristocratic district.

If those people hadn’t made the road smooth and spacious after the construction, I’m afraid the protest alone would have reached the palace.

But the loud noise was not the real reason that made Nicole irritable. What he cared about at the moment was what the newspaper said was city buses.

On one side of the text, a beautiful picture of a bus is very eye-catching. The shape full of elf art style can attract everyone’s attention.

“City buses… follow fixed routes…wait at the stop…you only need to pay a few copper coins to reach every corner of the city quickly and easily…each bus can carry 60 people…

” Cole stared at the newspaper and read it subconsciously. He didn’t react at first, but after a moment, his expression suddenly changed.

Each bus can carry sixty people!

?

Damn it, even the largest eight-horse carriage can only carry a dozen people, and not everyone is capable of driving it!

This damn city bus can carry sixty people!

?

What a joke!

Totally impossible!

If it were used to transport soldiers, wouldn’t it be invincible?

?

But – this is a product of Datang Chamber of Commerce!

Since the birth of Datang Chamber of Commerce, there has never been a time when the promises made have not been fulfilled!

This means that city buses are likely to really replace horse-drawn carriages and become people’s means of transportation!

At this time, an employee ran into the room in a panic: “No! Chairman! Something bad happened!”

Nicole’s face was full of impatience: “Why panic! Tell me what happened!”

The employee stammered Baba said: “Customer, customer, customer wants to return…”

Nicole’s face changed drastically: “What did you say!?”

“Customers who have placed orders before… suddenly want to return the order!”

The employee’s voice changed. To become fluent: “It’s not just one or two people, but many people came together and asked to return the order!”

“This is impossible!”

Nicole was furious: “They have already arranged production after placing the order and paying the deposit. If they suddenly return the order, we will We lost all our money!”

“But they have blocked the front store,” the employee swallowed. “There are also some people who come to return goods. They said that if they don’t return goods, they threaten to destroy our store. Smash it.”

“How dare they! There is a guard post next to it. Go call the guard immediately!”

After finishing speaking, Nicole hurried down to appease the customers.

“Bodi, my friend, your carriage will be made tomorrow. I swear in the name of Peters, you will fall in love with that carriage. It is newer and more beautiful, and it runs faster than the old models.” More stable!”

Bodi said with a frustrated look: “Nicole, it’s too late to say anything now. Haven’t you seen the Datang Daily? It’s over, it’s all over, and I have no business left.”

Damn city buses .

!

Nicole remained calm and said to the other person with a smile on her face: “Linde, we have been cooperating for a long time, haven’t we? You should trust the quality of my carriage. Why do you want to cancel the order?”

Linde is Those who run merchants have more opportunities to haul goods. It should have nothing to do with city buses, right?

“Nicole, no need to say more, just cancel the order.”

Linde said with a smile: “I don’t need the carriage anymore.”

“But how do you transport goods between those villages and towns…”

“Don’t you know? “

Lind looked at Nicole in surprise.

“What do you know?”

“Intercity buses.”

After Lin De finished speaking, he slapped his forehead: “Look at me, I forgot that this news hasn’t been made public yet…”

After hearing this, a group of people around suddenly became quiet and stared at each other. Fucked him.

“Lin De, we are old friends, aren’t we? What news do you have that you don’t share with us? Isn’t it really boring?”

Being stared at eagerly by a group of people, Linde smiled proudly and said, “Since Everyone wants to know so much, so I’ll share it with you.”

“I have a friend in Ellington -“

“We don’t care what your friend does! We want to hear the news!”

Linde helplessly Said: “Okay, it’s like this. The traffic transformation is to pave the way for city buses. City buses are a large-scale multi-person public transportation vehicle launched by the Datang Chamber of Commerce. You should already know this from Datang Daily. , but you don’t know that urban buses are actually the foreshadowing of another larger plan.” “

After the urban buses are officially put into operation at the end of the month, urban passenger transport centers will be constructed at sites around major cities. Through the urban passenger transport centers, To connect other surrounding cities, intercity buses will depart from the passenger transportation center, pass through surrounding villages and towns along the way, and arrive at the passenger transportation center of another city.” “

It is said that this plan is called a one-day transportation network plan.”

“I listen to me The friend said that since the passenger flow will be relatively small in the early stage, the goods allowed to be carried by each person will be appropriately relaxed, which means that I can completely use intercity buses to replace the role of horse-drawn carriages in the early stage.”

“You guys Maybe you don’t know how fast the bus is? Let me tell you, the bus is four or five times faster than a horse-drawn carriage at full speed!” “

You said, now that we have such a convenient means of transportation, I still want to order one Why do you want to make a carriage?”

“But,” Nicole still wanted to try to win back the situation for herself, “you don’t even know how to charge for carrying goods on the bus, do you? What if the price is very expensive?”

“No, On the contrary, I know how to charge.”

Linde smiled proudly: “According to the new weight standards promulgated by the empire, items not exceeding 20 kilograms are free of charge, and items exceeding 20 kilograms to less than 50 kilograms are charged. You can buy one ticket at the per-person fare, which means that for every 50 kilograms of goods, I only need to issue one ticket based on my own standard. This is much more cost-effective than a horse-drawn carriage!” “

The fare is only That’s the point! We don’t even know how much the fare is!”

“Don’t worry, since His Majesty Tang En has decided to promote this, and it passes through villages and towns, the price of this intercity bus will definitely not be too expensive, at least for ordinary people in those villages and towns. Residents can afford it, otherwise who would take it?”

Linde spread his hands and said, “I heard from my friends that buses are just the first step in advance. After people get used to buses and traffic laws, most people will take them. The Tang Chamber of Commerce will launch a new form of personal transportation, which not only can carry more passengers than Harley-Davidson motorcycles, but also has a variety of options for hauling goods. By that time, I’m afraid your horse-drawn carriage business will really be out of business.”

Nicole listened. When I got here, I couldn’t help feeling chilly in my heart and feeling chilly all over.

At first, he laughed at the new king named Tang En, who foolishly suppressed the domestic aristocratic forces and opened up market competition, allowing them, the Ronitante merchants, to make a lot of money. But only now did he realize that the most ruthless This is the new king.

Others went bankrupt due to failure in business competition, but he, on the other hand, quietly destroyed the entire market!

It was foreseeable that with the advent of Harley-Davidson motorcycles and city buses, the market for horse-drawn carriages would shrink rapidly, and Ronitant’s cheap horse business would also be greatly affected.

Obviously, His Majesty Oscar will not like to hear this news.
