Vol 2 Chapter 74: The price of a horse

The opening ceremony of the Bangka Highway itself has nothing to pay attention to. The only bright spot is that after the Satsuma Earl finished speaking, His Royal Highness Servini also gave a simple speech.
Although there are not many words of His Royal Highness, and most of them congratulate the opening of the Bangka Highway, from these words, she clearly revealed a very important message.
That is for the private chambers of commerce to invest in the construction of roads, King Majesty is very positive, and clearly expressed support.
So the representatives of the major chambers of commerce that were present were excited.
Since this matter has the clear support of the King's room, it proves to be promising.
The next thing to look at is whether the new Feishang Association can make money from this road.
This question disappeared immediately after a carriage from the Fleming car returned to Bangta City.
Because this carriage departed from Bangta City at the beginning of the ceremony, and now ran back and forth, but only used the district less than one morning!
All merchants understand the truth, that is time is money.
Although the Bangka Highway was not built before, it was less than 60 kilometers from Bangta City to Kalmar City, but it took a long time to get to the fastest carriage.
Now that the Bangka Highway is opened, the time for returning to and from the two-way trip can only take less than one morning. If it is converted into a one-way trip, it will take less than two hours!
This will undoubtedly save a lot of time compared to before.
Not to mention that in the past, the carriage was flying for 60 kilometers on the gravel dirt road, and almost the whole person was completely scattered. If it is replaced by goods, it will protect the integrity of the goods. This speed can only be reduced to a very low level. It takes a whole day to run a trip.
However, now because of the flat concrete-concrete floor on the Bangka Highway, the carriage is not able to feel any bumps on it.
In addition, the horse-drawn carriage of the Phillipson car has replaced the traditional wooden wheels with the new tires developed by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, which not only reduces the vibration of the carriage, but also makes the carriage extremely light. The speed is also a lot faster.
Without the help of this new type of tire, I am afraid that even on the incomparably flat cement road of the Bangka Highway, it is impossible to run a round-trip between Bangta City and Kalmar City in just one morning. .
So after a special report on this new type of tire in the Bangta Daily. There was a new wave in Bangta City and the surrounding cities. It was to replace the tires with the carriage.
Just half a month later, the carriages running in the streets of Bangta City and the surrounding cities were all replaced with new tires produced by the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce.
Now, if any of the private carriages in the house are still using the wooden wheels before, then there is no face to pull out to see people!
###
One night in mid-September, the city government hosted another banquet to invite the presidents and all the nobles of almost all chambers of commerce in Bangta.
"Mr. Xu, I am so admired for you!" President Pombay, the president of the Firson car line, raised his glass. I also touched Xu, and sincerely praised: "After the establishment of your new Feishang Chamber of Commerce, no matter what you developed, it will trigger a buying spree in Bangta City and the surrounding cities. The previous magic machinery will be considered. After all, your new Feishang Association has always been concentrating on these things. I don't think you can take out a tire so casually, but it can also trigger a rush."
Xu also shook his head and shook his head: "President Pompeii. You don't want to take too little tires. This thing is not just taken out. You have to know that although it seems to be simply a set on the steel ring. It’s just fine, but in fact it contains a lot of layers of various things. It’s just that the mats have made the Armani Chamber of Commerce back and forth and made countless times to satisfy me. Because of this, President Vincent is coming to me. I have complained countless times and said that I am too picky."
In fact, seriously. The most important part of the tire is of course the tire.
However, on the mainland of Sainz, Xu has never found the existence of a plant such as rubber tree. Although he had thought about making a tire before, he could only give up because there was no rubber.
Later, when the elves of the night song tribe performed a strange formula test on various resins according to Xu's request, they inadvertently tested a special resin which was very close to the rubber properties after processing.
This resin comes from a plant called the tears by the elves.
When the fruit of this plant matures, it will form a round fruit with the size of a human head. If it is knocked out, it will flow out of the white juice.
This sap is combined with several kinds of grass pollen, and then processed with the special magic of the Elf, it becomes this special resin.
This resin is very similar to the rubber after processing. At first sight, I immediately thought of using it as a tire.
After a series of related experiments, the elves of the night song tribe succeeded in producing the tire.
Of course, the existence of this special resin is the secret of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and Xu will naturally not disclose it to President Pompeii.
Hearing Xu also mentioned the president of Vincent, President Pompeii laughed: "But now the tires are selling so well, they will definitely make a lot of money. The president of Vincent will never blame again." is you."
Xu also smiled and looked at the president of Vincent who was chatting with several nobles in the distance. He thought that he would repeat the test on the pad several times compared to the request of the Armani Chamber of Commerce. Vincent The president wants to complain to himself most. I am afraid that until now, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has not been able to develop the magic textile machine he needs.
However, this is no way. The new R&D staff has limited R&D staff, and there are so many things that need to be developed. Xu can only concentrate on selecting the things that are most needed for R&D.
Compared with cotton spinning, which is currently not very important, it is clear that solving energy harvesting and processing, road engineering construction, etc., which are the most important for industrial systems, is preferred.
"Right, Xu Huichang, I have not thanked you yet." President Pompeii suddenly said.
"Well? Thank you, what?" Xu Yidao.
"Of course, thank you for making a request to my Royal Highness for me. Now the Royal Highness has promised me that I can sell the unarmed horses from the royal horse farm to me. Although the price is a bit expensive, for our car dealers How many horses can be owned, it means how many horse-drawn carriages can be made, how much business can be done." Pompeii replied with a blush.
"This is nothing, I just mentioned it by the way of the king's house." Xu also waved his hand and didn't care much. Then he curiously asked: "Right, President Pompeii, how much does it usually cost for your car to buy a horse?"
"This can't be said. The quality of the horse is different, and the price difference is a lot. The best kind of BMW does not need hundreds of thousands of gold coins. We can't afford it. Generally speaking, the best horse. Except for those privately raised by the big aristocrats, most of them were provided to the kingdom military. Our chambers of commerce used inferior horses, usually one hundred to two hundred gold coins.
Pompeii replied.

One hundred to two hundred gold coins?
Xu also thought about it and asked:
If you can give you the same thing instead of these horses, you can make the carriage speed faster, twice as much as you are now. It is three times, how much are you willing to pay?"
President Pompeii looked at Xu Yi suddenly, paused, and suddenly widened his eyes, excitedly reaching out and grabbing Xu Yi’s shoulder: "Mr. Xu, do you say it is true? Really have such a thing." Have you already developed a new Flying Chamber of Commerce? Tell me soon! If there is one, even a two hundred gold coins... No! I will definitely buy a three hundred gold coins!"
Xu is also speechless. When I heard about the tires last time, the president of Pompeii was so excited. Now I heard that I just revealed such a little meaning, and I was so excited.
Losing him is the president of a big chamber of commerce. Is it so easy to make a fuss?
"This... has not been developed yet, and it is still in its early stages." Xu also tweeted the chairman of Pompeii.
"Ah? Not yet." The excitement on the face of President Pompeii turned into disappointment. "That's a pity. It's really important for us to be a phoenix car, Xu Huichang, can you tell me when I can develop it?"
Xu also shrugged: "I can't answer you. This is a very complicated thing, and it's far from being so easy to develop."
President Pompeii thought for a moment, and Xu Zheng said in a positive color: "That's good. President Xu also, when you develop this thing, you must inform me in advance, and give priority to us to sell to us." ?"
"Let's talk about it later." Xu also vaguely said.
Engine development is indeed very difficult, and Xu is not even sure if he can develop successfully, and how can he easily agree with him.
Besides, if the engine is really developed, the use can be too broad, and of course, Xu will not make any priority on this.
Seeing Xu also replied vaguely, Pompeii’s brow wrinkled and wanted to say it again, only to find that the Count of Satsuma had already come out of the crowd, and he could only shut up immediately and look to the Count of Satsuma.
Under the gaze of everyone, the Count of Satsuma slowly walked to the table in the middle of the banquet hall, looked around and raised the glass, screaming: "Come, welcome to participate in this study on how to better better to Bangta The banquet for the overall renovation of the city."
