"Shopkeeper Lao, have you read the Moon News today?"

The Laoniu Transportation Team, Jingmu, came to Lao Hansan with a worried look on his face.

As a shopkeeper of a workshop, Jingmu is still very clear about the influence of the media.

Although it is not a mainstream newspaper, the sales volume is very good.

By reporting various edge news, it can attract a group of people to watch.

It is considered that both rich and poor people can be appreciated by both the elite and the masses.

"I usually only read the Datang Daily, Chang'an Evening News and Economic Daily. Other newspapers will only double if they have time.

What's wrong? Has the children of the noble family made another joke?"

Lao Hansan looked at Jingmu calmly.

In his impression, the Moon relies on these news to attract attention.

"I don't know if any noble children make jokes, but they are watching our jokes now.

In the past few days, we have sold more than 100 tricycles, and now many of them have started driving on the road.

A tricycle that uses engines as power has its own unique advantages compared to a carriage.

But there is one problem, which is what the carriage says is not, that is how to add fuel to the engine.

Although it is annoying to take care of a horse, if someone is really hungry, it will be fine to let it eat some grass by itself, so it will not let the carriage fall into the nest immediately.

But our tricycles are different. Once there is no gas, unless you refuel it immediately, you will not be able to run.

And if you only refuel after you have no oil for a long time, it will also cause great damage to the engine."

After hearing Jing Mu's words, Lao Hansan obviously realized something.

He immediately stood up and searched on the table next to him, and dug out the Moon News.

Although he may not have time to read this newspaper, the people below will definitely order it.

"Shocked! The owner drove a tricycle and was stranded in the wilderness late at night!"

Lao Hansan saw the news related to his workshop at a glance, and then quickly browsed it.

The content is nothing more than driving a tricycle produced in your own workshop and when there is no oil on the road, the driver and passengers will be stranded.

Only after someone is arranged to load the oil with the oil barrel, can it be started again.

It was even said that a driver was not sure about the situation. After forced startup of the engine several times, the engine was damaged.

This news is naturally not good news for the Laoniu Tricycle Workshop.

No wonder Jingmu came here to find Lao Hansan specifically.

"Although this writer has a bit of a fanning momentum in his words, how to refuel it with our tricycle is indeed a problem."

Lao Hansan looked at Jingmu with a frown.

A tricycle is a new thing, and everyone lacks a full understanding of its influence.

Just like the issue of cheering up, people have not fully realized its impact before.

Now it seems that if this problem cannot be solved, it will definitely affect the further development of tricycles.

"Shopkeeper Lao, this is what I think about. There are two measures to solve this problem.

The first is that when we sell tricycles, we also give away an oil barrel to provide everyone with diesel storage.

If you forget to refuel the engine and happen to be driving in the wilderness, you can just use it to refuel.

Of course, this problem must be a cure for symptoms but not the root cause.

If you want to make it convenient for everyone to refuel, it is best to have a gas station.

For example, each shop or on some major roads, build gas stations to refuel tricycles.

There are so many workshops in Chang'an City that are now making cars that use engines, so there will definitely be a strong demand for refueling at that time.

Now it’s just because our tricycles are first sold, so everyone’s eyes see us.”

Since Jing Mu came to find Lao Han San, he naturally wouldn't have any solutions.

If that is the case, it will definitely lose points in Lao Hansan's eyes.

"If you want to build such a gas station on a large scale, the things involved are all aspects.

If we come forward to build it, do you have the time and energy to host it?"

Come on, the problem must be solved.

However, the input and output ratio of building gas stations does not seem very high.

So Lao Hansan actually didn't want to build it himself.

But he had no better idea.

After all, the Moon News now talks about tricycles produced by its own workshop.

"Shopkeeper Lao, if only our tricycle in Datang needs to be refueled, then whether we have the energy or not, we must find a way to solve this problem.

Otherwise, the sales of tricycles will definitely be a big problem.

But it is obvious that in at most one month, various products from other workshops will begin to appear on the market.

At this time, if we still go to build a gas station alone, the cost will be a bit high.

It is even equivalent to using our own money and energy to subsidize other workshops.

If possible, I think we should join forces with all the relevant workshops to contribute money and efforts to build a gas station.

Or we simply don’t pay for the construction, but we will give certain subsidies to the merchants’ own investment in building gas stations.”

Jingmu quickly gave his own opinions.

Obviously, no one thought that building a gas station was profitable at this time.

The scene of oil refining in later generations losing money every day, but gas stations made a lot of money. It obviously does not exist in the current Tang Dynasty.

At least Jingmu does not think that such a thing exists now.

As for the future, who knows what happens next?

"You are right, but it may not be that easy to get other workshops to pay together.

Especially before the products of those workshops were launched, this difficulty was even higher.

I still tend to subsidize a few businesses first to temporarily alleviate this problem.

In the future, there will be more cars on the market, so let’s see if we join forces with other companies to find a way to solve this problem.”

Lao Hansan doesn't want to be a sucker.

But I can't ignore it completely.

So he chose a compromise method, first supporting merchants to build several gas stations to initially alleviate the predicament.

Anyway, if you only build a few gas stations, the funds required are relatively limited.

Even if the subsidy for the Laoniu tricycle workshop is half, it doesn’t require much money.

Let’s take the predicament before you first.

"Okay, then I'll go and let out the wind immediately.

At the same time, I also revealed this support policy through the Datang Daily to see if any merchants are actively looking for cooperation."

Seeing that his shopkeeper had made a decision, Jingmu did not insist on anything anymore.

Anyway, just find a solution.

As for whether this method is temporary or permanent, let's not worry about it for now.

Take one step at a time.

...

"Ford, the inconvenience of refueling the tricycle in the past two days has caused a lot of controversy. You probably heard of it, right?

Do you think this will affect our tractor sales?"

At the carriage in the south of the city, Wei Bao chatted with Weifot with a little worried.

Wei Bao attaches great importance to the tractor project, and it can even be said that the future of the carriage business in the south of the city has been pressed on this product.

If the tractor sales are not good due to refueling problems, it will be a headache.

After all, in another half a month, their tractor will be on the market.

Now even the advertising matter is almost discussed with newspapers.

"Shopkeeper Wei, I actually think the measures adopted by this Laoniu tricycle are already very good.

Under normal circumstances, this problem can be solved by equipping each tricycle with an oil barrel.

If some gas stations are assisted in the construction of convenient gas stations to facilitate everyone to refuel, this problem will be almost completely solved.
