Chapter 537: Thomas's Little Train
After receiving the wind and washing the dust, Wu Youcai finally returned to a little normal. At this time, he also calmed down a little, and he also felt that something seemed to be wrong before. But anyway, the perfume has already arrived, as long as it can last until the perfume is on the market in the future, it will be good to buy it directly when the time comes.
Hey, the tigresses and tigresses at home.
Wu Youcai was also a little helpless, he couldn't help but think of the high-ranking staff, why are they also successful businessmen, why are they always bullied by women in the end?
Wu Youcai, who was in the midst of emotion, suddenly saw the new things in Yannan City.
Bus.
The kind of car that robbed the head of the whole Central Plains, here, can anyone sit here?
Gao Li took Wu Youcai to buy a ticket and get on the bus.
The concept of public transportation is completely unpopular in the current world, and people can't even imagine the point of the government spending so much money on so-called public transportation.
So when Wu Youcai saw buses parked at the station, people waiting in line, getting on the bus, and buying tickets, he couldn't understand.
"Brother, are you people in Yannan City so rich?" Wu Youcai asked.
Gao Li said: "It's okay, maybe a little richer than other counties, but if you say it hard, it's not too rich." ”
Wu Youcai asked, "Your bus is not cheap, is it?"
Gao Li said: "If I make it, it's fine, but if it's sold out, it's definitely not cheap, it's much better than my true qi car." ”
In the car, the people are no longer crowded. After spending the initial freshness, the people of Yannan City have become accustomed to buses traveling through the city, and the existence of buses has also changed from the first toys to travel tools, and people will only take the bus when they need it.
Wu Youcai sat there, staring at the rapidly receding buildings on both sides of the road, where roadways and sidewalks were planned. Pedestrians are walking on the sidewalks, and no oversized stalls are allowed on both sides of the road to prevent disturbing pedestrians. Pedestrians are theoretically not allowed on the roadway to prevent being touched by cars. The horse-drawn carriage and the real qi car drive on the road, there is a line in the middle of the road, and all the vehicles are on the right-hand side.
Everything is well-behaved and orderly.
"How? I built the road. "Gao Li Dao.
"The road, the road where the carriage walks, this word is really too apt. If the road in Pingyang City is half as good as you, hey, don't say half of it, it's good to have a fraction of you, and Pingyang County Commander doesn't know what he's busy all day long. "There is no harm if there is no comparison, Wu Youcai can be regarded as gaining knowledge today.
Because of the strong commercial atmosphere of Yannan City, there are many horse-drawn carriages, most of which are used to transport goods, and these spacious roads have greatly improved the efficiency of freight transportation.
"But then again, brother, I just looked at your ticket, so cheap copper plate, how long will it take to pay off?" Wu Youcai, as a businessman, is most concerned about the issue of return on investment.
"I'm afraid, it's hard to get back to the basics, the car needs to be maintained, and the road needs to be maintained. Drivers need to be paid, and it is impossible to expect that the cost of these people's cars will be paid every day. "Gao Li Dao.
"Then what are you doing here?" Wu Youcai didn't understand. He instinctively guessed that Gao Li would not trade at a loss, but he couldn't see what kind of profit Gao Li could bring by doing so.
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere. "Gao Li Dao.
got out of the car, Gao Li took Wu Youcai to the snack street.
There are all kinds of snacks from the Central Plains and Yanan, who rent houses and open restaurants here to serve businessmen who travel from south to north.
"From here, you can basically eat all the flavors of the world. Although there are no hard dishes, if you are just to satisfy your cravings, it is quite good to come here. Gao Li said.
Gao Li took Wu Youcai into a restaurant owned by Yanan, and the owner of the restaurant came from Yong'an. After settling down for half a year, at first he just got some Yanan-style home-cooked food for the people here, but as more and more diners came, he also found that this was the way to make a living, so he simply rented such a store and began to operate it neatly. Now, he earns more than a month in Yanan for a year, and he doesn't want to go back at all.
Wu Youcai sat down, and there were other people in the restaurant, all of whom greeted Gao Li one after another, and then busily ate their own. Everyone is a businessman, and nothing is more important than time. In particular, Yanan mainly produces agricultural products, and if you want to eat fresh, you must have a warrior with cold and true qi to escort the car. And hiring such a person is paid on a daily basis. If you delay for a while, you may be delayed on the road for a day, how can a shrewd businessman allow such a thing?
"Brother, did you let them do all this?" Wu Youcai asked.
"Not really. Gao Li said, "Create a suitable business environment, and these people will naturally find ways to make money on their own." When one person makes money, the others will follow suit. When a group of people go together to make money, an industry is formed. When an industry is formed, the surrounding people will begin to form supporting industries around this industry, and then gradually radiate. ”
"Slow down, slow down, brother, you say slow down, I didn't understand too much. Wu Youcai was a little dizzy, and this series of fresh words bombarded him a little unclear.
Gao Li said: "Let's take this restaurant as an example, this owner needs to often shuttle between Yannan City and Yong'an at the beginning, because his restaurant is Yanan-style, and many ingredients can only be obtained from Yanan. But if you go back to buy goods, you will have to delay time. When others see a business opportunity, they will buy it and sell it to Yannan. The restaurant owner found that Yannan also has goods, although it will be more expensive than buying it himself, but because he does not need to make a trip by himself, it saves time, so he is also willing to pay an extra price to buy, which is the so-called supporting industry. ”
Wu Youcai understood, this kind of truth is not difficult to understand, and he also understands it. It's just that as a businessman, he doesn't need to think so much, and Gao Li is now the prince, running a city!
"I have set up a bus stop here, so that people in the whole city don't have to go through too much trouble if they want to come here to fight their teeth, just take a car. Don't eat too much, treat yourself, boost the economy, and kill multiple birds with one stone. Gao Li continued to explain.
Wu Youcai understood in an instant.
"What I mean by that is that the bus allows people who are in a quiet corner of the city to move around and spend money on things. In this way, the store has income, and Yannan City has tax revenue! You don't rely on the bus to make money! You are planning the overall situation!" Wu Youcai is worthy of being a big businessman, and he understands it at this time.
"Almost, that's what it means. Gao Li said with a smile.
"Brother! Awesome!" Wu Youcai said with emotion.
Gao Li can make money, and he can really spend money, the key is that he is still willing to invest money in various places where there is no visible return. Wu Youcai sometimes really didn't understand, how could a person as young as Gao Li have such a terrifying vision?
However, whenever he thought like this, he would immediately sober himself up and not think about it, because he understood that Gao Li and him were already people from two worlds. Gao Li misses the old love, and is willing to call him a big brother, then he has to do a good job of being a big brother, help Gao Li solve some trivial troubles, and then occasionally make a little money under the shadow of a brother, that is enough.
As for the rest, think too much, hurt your body!
Perfume is ready to go, the weather is getting warmer, it is a good time for young ladies to go out and compete for beauty, perfume will become an indispensable need for them in social occasions, and this will inevitably trigger another consumption boom.
Produced by Li Zhuang, it must be a high-quality product, and this legend will continue to be passed on.
This is not something Gao Li has to worry about, Gao Li's real headache is the train.
If you want to build a railroad with someone else, you first have to have a prototype. Otherwise, others simply do not know what the so-called railway is!
Therefore, as the front of the first generation of real gas locomotives, it must be foolproof.
For this reason, from parts processing to assembly, to the generation of evil beings, Gao Li is always watching by the side. Traffic problems, a century-old plan, sloppy!
Eventually, the first small locomotive was finally introduced.
Different from the huge 130-ton locomotive that everyone has seen in the previous life, this small locomotive is estimated to have a total weight of no more than 40 tons because the main part is evil.
It can only be an estimate.
It has a total of four axles and eight wheels of linkage, and is driven by a large real qi engine. The total traction weight is not known yet, but Gao Li guessed, it should be a lot.
Powering this large True Qi machine was a specially cultivated large-scale evil spirit. It is twelve meters long and resembles a large beetle with an exoskeleton. The limbs can be combined with the chassis through a special mechanism, and there are connectors in the abdomen of the body that can be connected to the true qi machine. The exoskeleton part can fully cover the chassis of the car, and there is a wrecker shovel at the front end to prevent foreign objects on the rails.
This locomotive beetle has sixteen qi seas in its body, and although each qi sea is not strong in itself, it can efficiently power the true qi machine, which is the result of calculations from jellyfish.
This beetle will drive the real qi machine forward under the driver's command, and perform a series of operations such as road clearance, braking, etc. Because no driver has yet been elected, Gao Li himself will replace him.
Outside the city, there was a 500-meter improvised railway, which was pretty bad by modern standards, but Gao Li was relieved considering that it was the world's first railway, and that it had been laid in a hurry.
Gao Li climbed to the front of the car and sat in the makeshift cockpit. It's spacious enough to prepare a small bed for two drivers to take turns and maybe stock up on a snack or something.
Calm down and concentrate!
Gao Li pressed his hand on the beetle linked to the front of the car and gave a command.
Advance.
Chirping!
With a screeching grinding sound, the eight drive wheels suddenly started and slipped with the rails!
Good guys, is the torque of this large real gas machine so great?
Stop.
Take your time and be careful with the input of True Qi.
As the world's first generation of train drivers, Gao Li controlled the front of the locomotive with as much patience as possible, slowly driving the front of the locomotive forward. The five hundred meters of railroad track is really not far, Gao Li controlled the front of the car to move forward, and then retreated, and after a few back and forth, Gao Li shouted with excitement on his face.
"From today onwards, you will be called Thomas One!"
