Chapter 1214 Steam Engine Equipment(1/2)

Ta Kyoto was a thug.

However, after he couldn't make it in the village, he came to Chang'an City.

After all the troubles, he has made him famous by working with Wenqushu Store.

If you are rich and noble, you will not return home, like walking in a night clothes with brocade.

To put it bluntly, after having some small money, I feel uncomfortable if I don’t go back and show off.

Takino is no exception.

Originally, he was the least popular and looked down upon in the village.

Even his parents couldn't raise their heads in front of others.

"Yo, Takin, where did you borrow a bicycle from?"

As soon as Tian Jing entered the village, he met an acquaintance.

In fact, in this small mountain village, there are not many people who are not acquaintances.

"I just bought it yesterday. I happened to be back from something today, so I didn't go on a public car and came back on my bike. Let me tell you, this latest permanent bicycle is really exciting to ride. I came out of Chang'an City this morning and it took me less than three hours to get home.

I didn't use all my strength, otherwise I could get there in two hours. This is much more convenient than riding a public carriage before, so I don't have to walk for a long time in the village road.

And you see, this new bicycle uses chain transmission, so it is effortless to ride. Even if it is for a few hours of continuous riding, there is no problem."

When I met my first acquaintance today, Tian Jing naturally wanted to show off the bicycle.

As far as he knows, except for the next door of Mitao Village, he should be the first person nearby to buy a bicycle.

If the scope is limited to the new permanent bicycle, then he is the first person to buy it nearby.

Although it is only 999 Tang Yuan, which is incomparable to Mercedes-Benz four-wheel luxury carriage, there are not many people in the village who can directly pay for their usual money to buy bicycles.

Sure enough, after Tian Jing finished speaking, he saw a hint of envy on the other person's face.

He has been in the village for more than 20 years, but he felt this expression from someone else for the first time.

"I heard that you have developed in Chang'an City, don't forget us."

"Don't worry! I, Tian Jing, forgot who I, can't forget the villagers in the village."

These words came out of Tian Jing's mouth, giving people a sense of incongruity.

However, seeing another villager walking over with a hoe in front, Tian Jing immediately kicked his legs and ran over on his bicycle.

It took a few hundred meters from the village to his home, but it took half an hour to return.

Whenever he meets someone, he will stop the bicycle and chat with him, and then tell him how good his permanent bicycle is.

As expected, most villagers showed envious expressions in their eyes.

Tian Jing was the worst person in the village at the time, and now he has bought bicycles.

If you have your own car, it will be much more convenient for you to go out to work or something in the future.

Especially when going to the town for the market day, it is convenient and cool.

...

"The next door, Tian Kyo, returned to the village today, riding a permanent bicycle that is said to be the latest, which is so majestic."

In the village of Mitao, Shui Ergui recently returned to the village for vacation.

However, this morning, several villagers came over to talk to themselves about this matter.

This made him speechless.

"Didn't there be several families in our Mitao Village that bought that permanent bicycle? I didn't see you so strange."

Shui Ergui has now become well developed by planting peaches.

The Shuijun Production Factory, which his son Shuijun, has become a famous business in Chang'an City.

So the Shui family is now in Mitao Village and its status is absolutely excellent.

Even if there is anything in the village, I have to come over to discuss it with Shui Ergui.

Whoever holds weddings and weddings in the village, regardless of whether the blood relationship between the two parties is close, they are proud to be able to invite Shui Ergui to participate.

"That's different. The guy named Takino bought the latest model. It is said to be driven by a chain and it is very lightweight. He just deliberately went to our village for a walk.

In name, it means going to see his cousin married outside his family. In fact, no one knows that the two families have not been in contact for many years. This time, they came to our village to show off."

Water Ergui:...

In recent years, Shui Ergui spent most of his time in Chang'an City, and his vision and knowledge were no longer comparable to ordinary villagers.

This mentality of comparing everything in the countryside is long gone.

But now that he is back, so many people come to talk about this matter, he cannot completely ignore anything.

"I have heard of the new product of permanent bicycles before, but in fact, it is not as expensive as the old ones."

"Impossible? I just watched Tian Jing step on the bicycle with his own eyes. It looked really light. Besides, it's a new product, so how could it be cheaper?"

Obviously, people cannot understand what Shui Ergui said.

However, Shui Ergui didn't have the patience to explain so much to them.

"Shui Jun is very busy these days. I will rush back to Chang'an City in the afternoon to see if I can help. If there is anything in the village, I will send you a letter as before. If I can help, I will definitely help."

Shui Ergui felt that he could no longer stay in Mitao Village.

If I don’t leave, maybe there are still some aunts and sisters coming to greet me later.

It was a greeting, but after reading it, they would talk about Tian Jing, who had a little conflict with his family.

What's there to talk about?

...

"Langjun, this new bicycle from the permanent bicycle workshop is really sold at a price of 999 Tangyuan. No shop has increased the price. If this continues, our bicycles will be completely out of stock."

In the carriage shop in the south of the city, shopkeeper Wei stood in front of Wei Siren anxiously.

Before, they thought that the 999 Tang Yuan, a bicycle promoted by permanent bicycles, was just a gimmick.

At that time, you will definitely just take out some of them to advertise, and then you will immediately increase the price by various methods.

But it has been sold for two days now, and there is no intention of raising the price at all.

On the contrary, various dealers are joining the army selling permanent bicycles.

Correspondingly, other bicycle shops are really deserted.

There are not as many customers in the shop as there are.

"Have you ever calculated their costs in the accountant? Can nine hundred and ninety-nine cents really not lose money?"

Wei Siren frowned and had no idea for a moment.

The other party started a price war. If they could follow, there was nothing to say, and the price was reduced.

But their own bicycles cost more than 999 Tang Yuan, how can they follow this?

You can't sell out at a loss, right?

It's better not to sell it.

Their Wei family did not come out to do charity.

"We could roughly estimate the cost of permanent bicycles in the past, which was definitely higher than ours. However, the structure of the new bicycles now has changed a lot. For a moment, we couldn't understand whether the cost had risen or fallen.

Not to mention other things, if the chain is just like that, if they are asked to make such a chain according to the craftsmen in our own workshop, the cost of a chain will probably be several hundred cents.

But I don’t think it’s possible that it’s so expensive, otherwise the permanent bicycle workshop is just doing a loss-making business.”

Manager Wei obviously wasn't in a hurry, but had already arranged someone to correspond.

It was only a moment ago that I had not found any good corresponding method.

"A chain costs hundreds of cents? How is that possible?"

The structure of Wei Sirensui's bicycle is quite familiar.

If it were more than ten years ago, when the price of steel was relatively high, the cost of a chain would cost several hundred cents, he believed it.

But the current price of stainless steel is only one-tenth of what it was a decade ago, so why is the chain cost so expensive?

"Langjun, if you just simply calculate the material cost of a chain, it should be enough to have a hundred cents. It doesn't even need that much, but I'm just troublesome about how to process the steel plate into a chain.

Because this is the part responsible for transmission, each chain piece on the chain, regardless of thickness or shape, is exactly the same. Otherwise, there will be abnormal noises not only affecting the transmission efficiency.

In addition, the mandrel also requires that it must be exactly the same, otherwise there will be no way to make a qualified Liantian out.

Just relying on craftsmen to make it, it takes at least a level four to achieve this level, and there will be a large number of bad products to make a qualified chain.

In this way, the cost of the chain will be much higher immediately."

After hearing what Manager Wei said, Wei Siren felt a little strange.

He had a premonition that the production of parts in the permanent bicycle workshop must have used new processes.
