Chapter 758: Market impact

Fiona had just ordered the purchase of herbs there. The first batch of buses was delivered in a blink of an eye, and the lanes and traffic lights were reserved in the city plan a long time ago. In Lington, a lot of time was saved in urban traffic reconstruction. By installing signal lights and isolation fences, buses are already 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 before starting. This is a gradual process. People may be familiar with traffic laws and regulations. time.
The first batch of four hundred buses, two hundred Ellingtons and two hundred Yalinks. Although the transport transformation of Yalinks has not been completely completed, it can already allow people to adapt to the life of buses in advance. .
Although Nicole Peters lives in Yalinks, he is a businessman from Ronentante. Of course, his identity is not just a businessman. He is also a spy for Ronentante, collecting for the Oscar King. Yalinks intelligence.
Once one of the outsiders, his business in Yalinks was oppressed by the business alliance, but after the business alliance was pressed down by Down, his spring came, and Nicole was in Yalinks. His business is getting more and more prosperous, and sometimes he earns money and even forgets his real job.
The means of living he used to conceal his identity was mainly horse and carriage, that is, producing horse carriages, and by the way, selling Ronitant's cheap horses with high cost performance. This bundled sales method made him a lot of money. This money This will allow him to return to the country and live the life of a top noble.
The Harley-Davidson motorcycle that the Datang Chamber of Commerce suddenly brought to the market a while ago has aroused Nicole's vigilance. The lightweight and compact single-person vehicle has superior performance, much more powerful than horse riding, and its efficiency is completely different.
The only thing that is more fortunate is that this Harley-Davidson motorcycle can only carry a maximum of one passenger in addition to riding, and there is no way to pull cargo, so the carriage is still the first choice of businessmen.
Even so, Nicole also started a Harley-Davidson motorcycle under curiosity-he is a two-star member of the Datang Chamber of Commerce.
After a day of simple practice, Nicole was able to ride a Harley bike very skillfully.
The convenience of Harley-Davidson motorcycles almost completely conquered Nicole.
He couldn't help but be sighed—fortunately, this Harley-Davidson motorcycle can only carry one person. If more people can be pulled, I am afraid that the carriage will not be sold out completely.
Not long after sending the information to His Majesty Oscar, these days he heard new news.
"Promulgation of the traffic law? A plan for the temporary route of urban buses? Is this related to the upgrading of urban traffic?"
Sitting on the balcony, Nicole looked down at the Datang Daily in his hand, and then looked up at the construction team not far away, his eyes jumping.
The construction team hasn't been quiet since saying it was going to carry out traffic reconstruction a while ago. Nicole was busy all day, and couldn't believe that this was the street closest to the noble district.
If it weren't for those people after the construction, the road has indeed become smooth and spacious, I am afraid that the sound of protest can be rushed into the palace.
But the noisy noise is not the real cause of Nicole's irritability. What he cares about now is what the newspaper said, the city bus.
On the side of the text, a beautiful bus picture is very eye-catching, and the shape filled with elven art style can attract everyone's attention.
"Urban buses ... Route along fixed routes ... Wait at the stop signs ... You can reach every corner of the city easily and quickly by paying a few copper coins ... Each car can carry 60 people ..."
Nicole stared at the newspaper subconsciously. He didn't respond at first, but after a while, his face suddenly changed.
Sixty people per bus! ?
Damn, even the largest troika can carry more than a dozen people, and not everyone can handle it!
What the is a city bus that can carry sixty people! ?
What a joke!
Totally impossible!
Wouldn't it be invincible if used to transport soldiers! ?
But-this is the product of Datang Chamber of Commerce!
Since the birth of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, it has never been promised but never fulfilled!
That is to say, that city bus is likely to really replace the carriage and become a means of travel for people!
At this moment an employee hurriedly ran into the room: "It's not good! Mr. President! It's a bad thing!"
Nicole's impatience on his face: "Worry! What's up!"
The employee stammered and said: "Customer, customer, customer wants, wants to return ..."
Nicol's face changed dramatically: "What did you say !?"
"Customers who have placed orders before ... suddenly return orders!"
The employee's voice became fluent: "Not one or two, but a lot of people who came together and asked to return the order!"
"This is impossible!"
Nicole was furious: "They have arranged production after placing the order and paying the deposit, and suddenly we will lose the money we lost when we return the goods!"
"But they are stuck in the storefront in front," the employee swallowed. "Some people came to return the goods. They said they would smash our store if they did not return the goods."
"They dare! Next to the guard's outpost, you call the guard immediately!"
Nicole finished hurriedly to appease those customers.
"Body, my friend, your carriage will be ready tomorrow. I swear in the name of Peters that you will definitely fall in love with that carriage. It is newer and more beautiful, and runs faster than the previous old models. More stable! "
The emperor said with a look of frustration: "Nicole, it's too late to say anything now, haven't you seen the Datang Daily? It's over, it's all over, and my business doesn't have to be done."
Damn city bus!
Nicole said calmly, with a smile on his face, and said to another, "Linde, we have been working together for a long time, haven't we? You should be convinced of the quality of my carriage, why do you want to return your order?"
Linde is a dealer. There are many opportunities to pull goods. It should have nothing to do with city buses?
"Nicole, needless to say, return the order."
Linde said with a smile: "I don't need a carriage anymore."
"But how do you transport goods between those villages ..."
"Don't you know yet?"
Lind looked at Nicole in surprise.
"what do you know?"
"Intercity bus."
Linde patted his head and said, "Look at me, forget that this news hasn't been made public yet ..."
When a group of people heard the words suddenly quieted down, Qi stared at him.
"Linde, we are old friends, aren't we? You don't have any news to share with us? Isn't that interesting?"
Being stared at by a group of people, Linde smiled proudly and said, "Since everyone wants to know so, let me share it with you."
"I have a friend in Ellington—"
"We don't care what your friends do! We want to hear the news!"
Linde said helplessly: "Okay, this is the case. The traffic transformation is to pave the way for urban buses. Urban buses are a large-scale multi-person public transport launched by the Datang Chamber of Commerce. I know in the daily newspaper, but you don't know that the city bus is actually the pavement for another bigger plan. "
"After the official operation of the city bus at the end of the month, the city passenger transport centers will be built around the major cities, and other cities around will be connected through the city passenger transport centers. Intercity buses will depart from the passenger transport centers and pass through the surrounding bus routes. Village, to the passenger center of another city. "
"It is said that this plan is called the one-day transportation network plan."
"I heard my friend say that because the passenger flow will be relatively small in the early stage, the goods that everyone is allowed to carry will be loosened appropriately, which means that I can use the intercity bus to replace the carriage in the early stage. . "
"You may not know how fast the bus is, right? I tell you, buses run up to four or five times faster than horse carriages!"
"You said, now that there is such a convenient transportation, what else do I order a carriage for?"
"But," Nicole wanted to try to get himself back. "You don't even know how the bus charges for the goods, don't you? In case that price is expensive?"
"No, on the contrary, I know how it is charged."
Linde smiled proudly: "According to the new weight standard promulgated by the empire, carry-on items not exceeding 20 kilograms are free of charge, and those exceeding 20 kilograms to 50 kilograms are charged as a single person. This means that for every fifty kilograms of cargo, I only need to issue a ticket according to my own standard, which is more cost-effective than a carriage! "
"The fare is the point! We don't know what the fare is!"
"Don't worry, since Her Majesty Tang En decided to promote this, and it is still going through villages and towns, then the price of this intercity bus will certainly not be too expensive, at least those ordinary residents in the villages and towns can spend it, otherwise who will take it? "
Linde let out a hand and said, "I heard from friends that buses are only the first step in advance. After people get used to buses and traffic laws, the Datang Chamber of Commerce will launch a new personal mode of transport. Harley-Davidson, and the type of goods that can be pulled, at that time, I am afraid that your carriage business is really impossible to do. "
Nicole could not help hearing his hair cold and cold.
At the beginning, he also laughed at the new king named Tang En, stupidly suppressing the domestic aristocratic forces, letting go of market competition, and making them a lot of money for Ronitan merchants. As a result, he found out that the original This is the new king.
Others are bankruptcy due to the failure of business competition, and he is better, and the entire market has been destroyed without a word!
It is foreseeable that with the advent of Harley-Davidson motorcycles and city buses, the market for horse-drawn carriages will shrink rapidly, and the low-cost horse business in Ronentante will also be greatly affected.
Obviously, Her Majesty would not like to hear the news.
