Chapter 113 It’s Chinese New Year, New Year’s Eve! (Luo Luoqiu pursues reading and collects it!)

December 35th, the sixth year of Taiping in the Ming Dynasty, is New Year’s Eve.

The sound of crackling firecrackers sounded, and Longzhong Village was filled with people. As in previous years, the Zhuge family's descendants scattered all over the country, as long as they could walk far, would take various means of transportation to go there starting from late December.

We come to Beijing to celebrate this most important New Year festival for Chinese people.

On December 35th, the children of the Zhuge family who returned to Beijing will gather together in Longzhong Village to have New Year's Eve dinner together and worship their ancestors. For the children of the Zhuge family scattered everywhere,

The annual Spring Festival gathering at Longzhongzhuang is not just as simple as having a meal and wishing each other happy New Year. It is also a means for most of them to maintain family connections and gain family support. It is even an effective and lowest-cost means.

Those Zhuges who are prosperous need to recruit juniors from the family to be their helpers, while those Zhuges whose talents are temporarily unappreciated or simply do not have much talent need to use the opportunity of the Chinese New Year to get close to those "big Zhuges" in order to gain promotion.

Opportunities. There are also many Zhuges who are starting their own businesses, and they also need to take advantage of this opportunity for everyone to get together to raise some venture capital. There are also many Zhuges who have a lot of spare money in their pockets and no place to invest, and they also need to take advantage of it.

Find some profitable projects at this annual family event

So on New Year’s Eve, you can always see some novel things here in Longzhongzhuang, which is almost like an expo. And on New Year’s Eve this year, the most eye-catching thing here in Longzhongzhuang is undoubtedly

Cars and airships!

"Right rudder, full right rudder. Uncle One Hundred and Eighth, turn the steering wheel to the right quickly."

Outside the "Beijing Institute of Technology" building in Longzhongzhuang, Zhuge Weidao was holding a steering wheel and driving a handmade wooden-shell convertible under the guidance of Zhuge Weili, Zhuge Weijiu's grandson.

Zhuge Weidao had learned to drive in his previous life (he had not bought a car yet), and he had learned to drive an airship in this life, but this was the first time he heard someone shouting "right hand rudder" in a car, and the "steering wheel" he was holding on was the same.

You can tell by looking at it that it is a steering wheel used to steer a ship.

In addition to using a steering wheel instead of a steering wheel, the interior of this car is also very poor. The chairs are hard and it hurts your butt when you sit on them, but the material is quite solid, it seems to be made of mahogany. There are definitely no seat belts, which is not safe.

Don't even think about air bags, but fortunately there are brakes, but they are not pedal-operated, but hand-operated. As for manual transmission, there is no automatic transmission, and naturally there is no gearbox. The speed of the car depends entirely on the accelerator.

Adjust it and push it to the bottom to move forward at full speed - this car equipped with a four-cylinder in-line 12-horsepower engine can speed around the "Beijing Institute of Technology Building" at a speed of up to 30 kilometers per hour.

In addition, the endurance of these two cars is much better than the previous "horse-electric hybrid" car. You only need to prepare one type of fuel, which is gasoline. As long as the fuel tank is filled up, you can run for 300 kilometers continuously!

Based on Zhuge Weidao's experience and this point alone, the final winner in this round of "battle between gasoline and electricity" must be the car.

Of course, it is impossible for this car to be put on the market for mass production at the moment. This car is not even a prototype. It is just a test car for the power system. If you want to create a car that can be put on the market, you must at least

There must be a car seat that doesn’t rub against your butt, a transmission that can shift gears, a seat belt, a brake that you can step on, a windshield, and a roof that can protect you from wind, rain, and sun. Oh, there must be one too.

Shock absorber spring. This is the industry chain!

The industrial chain of the automobile industry is quite long. When the automobile industry matures, a car will need thousands of parts, and these parts will also have their upstream supporting companies. All of them

The industrial chain added together is a huge industrial system.

It was this industrial system that helped the Chosen Country in another timeline win two world wars and finally become the world hegemon!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao released the accelerator and then pulled the brakes. The car's brakes were very hard and it stopped suddenly. It was like braking suddenly. Zhuge Weidao's body rushed forward.

He almost hit the steering wheel, but fortunately, Zhuge Weili, who was next to him, was quick-sighted and gave him a hand.

Zhuge Weidao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, turned around and said to Zhuge Weili: "Shaoxuan, your car is not bad, it has enough power and enough battery life, but there are still some areas that need improvement. I will give them to you later.

An evaluation report for your reference."

Although Zhuge Weili is the grandson of a great military advisor, he is very polite in his dealings with others and is not a dandy at all. He smiled humbly and said: "Uncle One Hundred and Eighth, thank you very much!"

"We are all a family, so why say thank you? Besides, I also invested money in your car dealership. We are doing business together. If you are good to me, I am good to you!" Zhuge Youdao said and opened a creaking door.

He opened the car door and got out of Zhuge Weili's car.

But his test drive is not over yet, because there is not just one car that was pulled to Longzhongzhuang today, but sixteen cars of various types, including trams, steam cars, and gas cars, waiting for Zhuge Weidao to try them one by one.

Then he has to write an evaluation report for each car, pointing out their advantages, disadvantages and areas for improvement, and giving investment suggestions - based on the results of the meeting of the military division, the Zhuge family will establish an automobile industry

The fund focuses on investing in start-up automobile manufacturers. The money invested in automobile factories founded by children of the three royal families, eight aristocratic families and noble families can only account for up to 30% of the total assets of the fund. The remaining 70%,

Everything must be invested in civilian entrepreneurs!

According to the tradition of the Zhuge family's military division, only the five youngest members have the right to make decisions when it comes to deciding on venture capital targets. Zhuge Weidao is now the youngest member of the military division, so he test drives the car.

He is the only one responsible for the trams and gas cars.

In addition to test driving a car, after the Chinese New Year, he also had to test drive an airship. The Zhuge family established an aviation industry fund very early and spent a lot of money on airships! They built many airships, large and small, including

The "Flying Dragon No. 3" boat that shined in the Battle of Peshawar. After the Battle of Peshawar, airships suddenly became a "hot industry", so today there are twenty or thirty floating in the sky above Longzhongzhuang.

Airships, big and small, are all looking for investment.

Although Zhuge Weidao is not planning to build airships, airships and airplanes can fly in the sky. Those who can build airships can also build airplanes, right? So he has to carefully examine those airships to see which one has excellent craftsmanship and quality?

The whole morning passed by just getting in the car, braking, and getting off. Zhuge Weidao's eyes were opened this time. It turned out that cars can be so simple and weird. But he was relieved. Just being a member of the Zhuge family has already made a difference.

With so many "classic cars" created, how many "classic cars" are there in the country? This is really a bit of the excitement of China's new energy vehicle market in the future. But there is no "Tesla" in the West now

"I haven't heard of Ford, Mercedes-Benz, or BMW. Daming should be far ahead. I'm happy just thinking about it!"

While Zhuge Weidao was thinking about happy things, he shook his feather fan and "very Zhuge" walked into the "Beijing Institute of Technology" building that was like a holy place under the gaze of a group of "Zhuge entrepreneurs" - today

In the afternoon, he and other members of the military division will worship their ancestor Zhuge Wuzhong there, and then go to the square outside the "Beijing Institute of Technology" building to receive New Year greetings from "Eight Hundred Zhuge", and then two hundred

A multi-table New Year's Eve dinner (for Babai Zhuge and their families), and finally setting off firecrackers, watching fireworks, staying up late, waiting for the New Year's Day tomorrow, and a lot of projects. Adding all these together, it's really

Full of flavor!

"Brother 108, you came just in time. Come here quickly and take a look at this."

As soon as Zhuge Weidao entered the room, he saw the great military advisor Zhuge Weijiu waving him over with a feather fan, and seemed to be holding a telegraph newspaper in his other hand.

Zhuge Weidao hurried forward and took the telegraph newspaper from Zhuge Weijiu. He lowered his head and looked at it, frowning and said: "The United Kingdom, France, Rakshasa Kingdom, Austria, Prussia, Bavaria, Sweden, and the Kingdom of Sardinia are ready.

Declaring war on the Turkish Empire together? How can it be so big to attack Turkey? Great Military Advisor, is this news accurate?"

Zhuge Weijiu said: "Look who sent it?"

Zhuge Weidao looked down and whispered: "Happy New Year, your dearest Marie Antoinette. It seems the news is quite accurate!"

I recommend a new urban work, "Abstinence-Based Male God" by "It Can't Be a Trumpet"

Well, just by looking at the title of the book, you can tell that it must be very abstinent. Those of you who don’t like driving can take a look and see if it is really abstinent.
