Chapter 1086: Popularization, basically completed, the unhappy old man
ps: This chapter is a bit stuck! It’s been written from one point until now. It’s too late again, I’m sorry everyone! Sorry!
The traffic flow overnight became extremely popular. This fast and convenient transportation method has won the approval of almost all merchants. If many merchants had not booked other car dealers in advance, the Shuntong branches of the four satellite cities would have been crowded.
Even so, all the people in Shuntong's branches moved, went to the merchants to load goods, count, and sign the order. Those who lined up for a long time entered the warehouse, and those who were shorter were directly transported to the station to transport them away.
The next day, the busiest place in the station became the stopping location for traffic.
Although he was busy, he was not confused at all. One after another, he was quite fast. He looked at the fast, Yueying, and the other eight kingdoms with their eyes were blue, and that was all money.
"Prefer to the focus of your own country!" Finally, the owners of these Kuaida car dealers sighed secretly. They can only kill their teeth and swallow their stomachs now. They are unwilling to accept it. They have invested a lot in the imperial capital, but now there is no way. Judging from the current trend, they will definitely not be able to compete for smoothly. What is the price reduction or discount, compared with other people's transportation methods.
Shuntong's boss was very happy. He was indeed a little worried about not being able to compete with others before, but since Xingchenling brought the container, he knew that he had a sure win.
The guys who went on the bus were all very energetic. Although they were tired, they earned a lot. At the same time, they admired the boss very much. No wonder the boss dared to say that he would know the difference in ten days, just one day...
In the imperial palace of the Qiankun Emperor, Emperor Qiankun also smiled. The four light rail roads cost nearly 500 million yellow crystal coins. It is impossible to say that he is not worried. There is only one light rail connecting the imperial capital in the four satellite cities, and a carriage may be congested if it runs slowly. If the goods transported are slower than ordinary roads, it is not only a shameful issue. Senior officials and ministers in the court will also question this.
Of course, the ministers dare not talk about themselves. But they can accuse Jiang Xingchen of saying that he cheated on the empire of money. In that case, he would not be inactive. Then there would be a crack in the cooperation between him and Jiang Xingchen.
Fortunately, the second prince was thoroughly considered and arranged everything in an orderly manner. Although he used a lot of manpower, the performance of the light rail road on the first day was perfect.
Originally, the supply of materials in the imperial capital was always a bit tight, but yesterday, four light rails transported more than a thousand trucks of goods. It was only half the total of more than a dozen roads, which made the previous situation change instantly.
According to the second prince, this is the first day of transportation. Many car dealers are not familiar with it, and the utilization rate of the main road does not increase at all. If it runs at full capacity, the transportation volume will be at least three times that of the first day.
The merchants read well and the major families were very satisfied. Their praise was naturally put on the emperor. The emperor was of course happy, so he found the second prince and directly appointed him as the deputy chief of the aristocratic management department.
The second prince who received the news was so happy that he almost drew it. The aristocratic management department was an important department. After he was taken back from the Yuan family, he was always in charge of the emperor. Now he arranged himself in, which is a great recognition of himself.
"Stay steady, keep calm! It's still early to succeed. Don't be proud!" The second prince took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
The emperor was very satisfied with the second prince's performance. Then he waved his hand and asked him to go back, then stood up alone, murmured: "The effect of the light rail road has been reflected! Jiang Xingchen, let's look at the train you mentioned..."
Within the following days, the business of Shuntong Train was getting better and better. Although it was possible to queue for two days, most merchants still chose them.
As for the car dealerships such as Kuaida, their business shrank extremely, and they were completely incomparable to the first day.
Under this situation, major car dealers began to withdraw their investments significantly. Of course, they did not completely withdraw, and they also left behind a group of vehicles and manpower... However, the parking locations in the station changed drastically as they retreated. The branches spreading out of the light rail were occupied by Shuntong Trading Bank, and all four satellite cities were.
Although Kuaida and other big car dealers retreated in shame and wasted a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, they did not gain anything. They all learned a brand new mode of transportation, namely containers.
The containers they made are definitely not comparable to those of Shuntong, and they are all made of wood. There is no pulley connection between the two vehicles. But they still used them without hesitation.
Otherwise, there are many people and great power. Although there is no design of carriages with sliding pulleys, they have other methods. They use a piece of steel to connect two carriages and lay long rolling wood on them. It takes more manpower and time to move the container.
However, due to the large amount of manpower consumed, their transportation costs were higher than Shuntong. I imagine that the price reduction was definitely not possible before. This is also the reason why they were unable to compete with Shuntong in the imperial capital.
With the sharp retreat of these foreign car dealers, the transportation methods of containers have also expanded rapidly. Not only those big car dealers, but also some small car dealers that cannot compete with light rail roads have begun to make containers.
They found that it is more convenient to transport goods in containers, the internal space is more useful than carriages, and it can transport more things. It can be said that starting today, the use of containers has begun to become popular and gradually spread to the entire continent...
The golden autumn of October is destined to be the season of harvest. Since the light rail roads in the Qiankun Empire Capital were completed, the light rail roads in the main cities of the empire were also completed one after another.
Although Shuntong Train has been mixed in every place, its proportion is far less than that of the imperial capital. This is a limitation of scale, and Shuntong's bosses are helpless. They don't have that many vehicles at all.
Originally, Shuntong's boss wanted to find a loan from Jufu Money House, but Jiang Xingchen did not agree. The imperial capital was united with the second prince, and it was okay for you to account for no matter how much you account for. But other territories are different. If the local car dealer is not well done, it is all about the lord. If you eat all the meat and give it to others, can they be happy?
As the saying goes, too much is too late, and development must be done step by step. Offending too many people is not a good thing.
The owner of the car that was on the road to the traffic sighed regretfully when he heard Jiang Xingchen's persuasion. He calmed down and thought that this was indeed the case. He took too much steps. Once there was a problem in any link, it might lead to overall collapse.
In fact, Jiang Xingchen advised him like this, not because he was worried that Shuntong would take too much. He did not want Shuntong to give up ordinary road transportation. In the future, there will be frequent cargo exchanges between Xingchen Leader, Minggang City, and Linhai City, which will require a large amount of transportation. Due to personnel restrictions, he must rely on vehicles to travel.
As time comes, light rail roads in various countries are also completed one after another. Kuaida waits for the car to see that the car is opened and does not reach his side, and he breathes a sigh of relief.
Then they understood why Shuntong had not arrived. These countries were no better than the Qiankun Empire. The construction of light rail roads was only around the capital, which was far less than that of the Qiankun Empire spreading in various territories. Shuntong needed a large number of carriages to stabilize the domestic market, and of course they did not have the ability to seize the markets of other countries.
All light rail roads have been built, and light rail transportation in various countries has also begun in full swing. Fast transportation has driven more economies and accelerated the pace of people's life.
At the same time, the railway from Xingchen to Hongyuan City is also being accelerated. Jiang Xingchen once again came to the steel factory to see the progress of the steam locomotive.
In a huge workshop, Jiang Xingchen saw the basically formed steam locomotive for the first time, the thick body and huge axles, which were very similar to the steam locomotive in his previous life. When viewed from close up, it gave people a considerable visual impact.
"The train is finally coming out!" Jiang Xingchen's breathing was a little heavy, or he was a little excited. When he spoke about the train, he felt out of reach. But now, the train has come out, and what he said three years ago seemed to be yesterday. At this moment, he is full of confidence in building a modern city!
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xingchen raised his thumbs to Xian Ning: "Beautiful job!"
Xian Ning had an unconcealed fatigue on her face, but her eyes looked energetic. She smiled sweetly at the praise of Jiang Xingchen: "I once said that if everything goes well, you can succeed before winter! But you also have to be mentally prepared. Without the experiment, you may have everything."
"I understand! The railway paving is now being carried out quickly, and it will probably not take long to complete the entire line!" Jiang Xingchen nodded.
"Okay! Go and do your business. There are still some places to check on the locomotive, so I won't accompany you!" Xian Ning said, greeting the craftsmen behind him and walking towards the front of the car.
Jiang Xingchen originally wanted to go up the front of the car, but after thinking about it, he still didn't go. He loudly told Xianning to pay attention to his health, so he went to Sun Sanqiang's office. He was really busy with things.
When Jiang Xingchen got here, he wanted to come with paper and pen and began to draw pictures based on his memory! When there was a front of the car, there must be a carriage. If the experiment was successful, he had to pull things.
However, what Jiang Xingchen is painting now is not a truck compartment, but a passenger bus!
After drawing the drawings, Jiang Xingchen found craftsmen and began to explain to them that these things were not needed by the research institute. The blacksmiths working in the steel factory could complete them. To put it bluntly, they were bigger boxes.
Every day, he studied the carriage with the craftsmen, personally operated various machine tools, and made parts. Jiang Xingchen was preparing to wait in Hongyuan City until the railway was completed, and then followed Xianning to experiment.
I was busy until late October, and when the railway was about to be completed, Mei'er wrote a letter saying that the workers who built light rail roads in various places were returning one after another, asking how to arrange it?
Jiang Xingchen thought about it and thought he would go back first and discuss the arrangements of more than 70,000 people with Mei'er and Grandpa Fu. He couldn't fire all of them, but it would definitely not be possible to raise them like this.
There was black electric transportation, so it was not enough to get back to Xingchen from Hongyuan City for three (monthly time). He set out at noon and arrived outside the new town in the afternoon.
But before he could enter the town, he saw the old man in rags walking over from another direction.
Jiang Xingchen straightened his eyes: "Why is this old guy doing? Why is he so embarrassed?" (To be continued...)
