Peng Zhiyun has been very comfortable recently.

The money earned by the dental store in the last month can be compared to last year.

When I went to Tianxiang Pavilion before, I still felt a little painful, but now I don't feel it at all.

After staying overnight in a girl's room with good piano, chess, calligraphy and painting last night, Peng Zhiyun slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.

Refreshingly out of the gate of Tianxiang Pavilion, Peng Zhiyun got into the carriage that was waiting for him and went to the shop in the West Market.

It's another sunny day.

However, before the carriage could enter the West Market, it was stopped by a man in a hurry.

"Shopkeeper Peng, something is wrong."

The man waited for a while at the entrance of the West Market, and when he saw the carriage of his shopkeeper coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.

"Panicked, what are you doing?"

Peng Zhiyun was still reminiscing about last night's XiaoHun scene, which was the highlights, but he was suddenly interrupted, and his tone was naturally a little unkind.

"Just this morning, a Mercedes-Benz carriage shop suddenly popped up in Chang'an City, specializing in selling four-wheeled carriages, and I heard that many people went to buy them."

Peng Zhiyun glared at the guy dissatisfied, "Just for this little thing, you are panicking?" When will there be no new shops open in Chang'an City? ”

I drank a lot of burnt knives last night, and Peng Zhiyun's head still hurts a little.

"No, shopkeeper, this time is different. The four-wheeled carriage sold by the Mercedes-Benz carriage shop cost only ten yuan, and just half an hour ago, some other shops had already returned the carriage to us. ”

"Huh? Someone wants to return an item? ”

Peng Zhijun finally raised his vigilance, which is not a good phenomenon.

"Just for the four-wheeled carriage of the Mercedes-Benz carriage shop, there is a tooth shop to return? What's the use of a four-wheeled carriage no matter how cheap it is? Who's going to use it? ”

Seeing that his shopkeeper was still lucky, the guy was about to cry.

In the morning, I witnessed the street patrol of the Mercedes-Benz carriage shop, and also witnessed the four-wheeled carriage easily complete the turn in front of me.

Seeing the full honeycomb coal on the car, the loading capacity is definitely more than double that of the two-wheeled carriage.

Forget it, but look at what is written on the guise of others......

Although I can't read, I can't read or write, but people have been shouting.

What is not satisfied with the three-day refund, free warranty within three months, three days before the opening of the purchase of free whale oil grease......

This is a proper rhythm of fire.

"Shopkeeper, I think you should go to the Mercedes-Benz Carriage Shop to have a look and make a decision as soon as possible. Late will change! ”

The guy is the house slave of the Peng family, and he is thinking about the future of the Peng family.

After all, if the Peng family is finished, their good days will come to an end.

……

In the backyard of the carriage shop in the south of the city, a brand-new four-wheeled carriage is quietly parked there.

However, the surroundings are not quiet at all.

Wei Siren had already received the news, rushed over, and stood in the courtyard with Wei Bao, watching the craftsmen of the car dealer analyze and confirm the advantages and disadvantages of the four-wheeled carriage.

"Lang Jun, it's basically clear that the four-wheeled carriage of this Mercedes-Benz carriage is different from the previous four-wheeled carriage, there are three main differences."

An elderly craftsman lay under the carriage very seriously, took a good look, and basically had the answer.

In fact, like the four-wheeled carriage of this era, there is basically no way to keep it secret.

It's just a lot of things, you can see it at a glance, how can you keep it secret?

Of course, just because you can see it doesn't mean you can do it.

"What are the three differences?"

Wei Siren's face was gloomy, and there was a hint of coldness in his tone.

"First, its four wheels are not placed together on the frame; Second, its axle is made of cast iron, and a very special mechanism is installed at both ends of the axle; Thirdly, the carriage has an additional mechanism, which can jam the wheels when parked after being pulled, so that the carriage can stop faster. ”

The old craftsman didn't dare to rely on the old and sell the old, and said the results of his confirmation in one breath.

In fact, even if he doesn't need to say much, Wei Siren and Wei Bao can basically see these differences.

It's just that now that I have listened to the words of the old craftsman, I am more sure in my heart.

"This four-wheeled carriage, because the four wheels are not on the same frame, solves the problem of difficult steering?"

Wei Siren thinks this answer is a bit ridiculous, it's as simple as that?

Why didn't the craftsmen of the Wei family think of it before?

"Lang Jun, it's true, I also tried to drive just now, although the steering is not as flexible as the two-wheeled carriage, but there is really no problem."

The old craftsman was honest and didn't dare to add too many extra comments.

"So, if we want to make a four-wheeled carriage, it should be easy, right?"

Wei Bao asked from the side.

In just one morning, he felt the impact of the four-wheeled carriage on him.

In the past, the carriage shop in the south of the city was ruling, but not a single carriage was sold this morning.

As long as you are not stupid, you know what to do at this time.

Anyway, there is no such thing as a patent right in this era, and the four-wheeled carriage of the Mercedes-Benz carriage company is popular, and it is produced by itself.

"The shopkeeper can be made, but the four-wheeled carriage we make is estimated to not be as fast as others, and the axle may not be as durable as others, and even the load will be lower."

Although he knew that his words were not what the shopkeeper wanted to hear, the old craftsman still reminded him honestly.

If he waits until his own four-wheeled carriage is produced, and then talks about these problems himself, maybe the shopkeeper thinks he is cheating on him.

That's a problem.

"Huh? Why is this happening? ”

Wei Siren had already approved Wei Bao's plan to imitate and make a four-wheeled carriage in his heart, but he didn't expect to hear such a bad answer.

"Lang Jun, the difference is in the special mechanism at both ends of the axle, with this thing, the rotation of the wheel becomes very light, which can save a lot of horsepower. And after applying whale oil grease, people can't feel its wear. ”

The old craftsman has been working in the Wei family's carriage workshop for decades, and he still sees the quality of the four-wheeled carriage in front of him very clearly.

"You're talking about bearings, right? When I first went to buy a horse-drawn carriage, the guys at the Mercedes Carriage Dealership seemed to have introduced this thing. They also reminded the coachmen not to disassemble the bearings, otherwise they would no longer be responsible for the warranty of the carriage. ”

Behind Wei Bao, the guy who was in charge of going to the Mercedes-Benz Carriage Shop to buy a four-wheeled carriage stood up and added a sentence in a low voice.

"Bearings?"

The old craftsman couldn't help but read along, "This word is really apt, this mechanism is the mechanism that bears the weight of the frame on the axle." ”

"What, is this bearing difficult to make?"

Wei Siren looked at the old craftsman with a dissatisfied expression.

The Wei family's carriage workshop is the largest in Chang'an City, and it can even be said to be the largest carriage workshop in Datang.

Nowadays, how can it be accepted that there are things made by others that cannot be made by themselves?

I paid them so much salary every month, did it all go down the drain?

"Lang Jun, whether this can be done or not, I'm not sure. But the bearing seems to be made of stainless steel, and most of our carriage workshops are carpenters. ”

……

An autumn rain and a cold. With the dripping rain, Chang'an City entered the winter mode overnight.

And even colder is the sale of two-wheeled carriages.

Return!

Refund!

Many tooth shops who hoarded two-wheeled carriages have found their own homes and want to return the carriages that they have not sold.

And the coachmen and merchants who have just bought the two-wheeled carriage recently also want to return the car.

How can there be such a good thing in the world?

Whether it was the carriage shop in the south of the city or Peng Zhiyun's tooth shop, they did not refund a penny to anyone.

I still have a backlog of carriages that have not been sold, how can I give you a refund?

When the price of the carriage went up, why didn't you return it and buy it again?

Seeing that in the next few days, almost none of the two-wheeled carriages were sold.

Wei Bao was also in a hurry.

Next to the Wei family's carriage workshop, there are hundreds of carriages stored, if this can't be sold, all the money earned before will be lost.

What's worse is that there are still a large number of semi-finished products in the workshop.

Price!

Drop the price again!

This is almost an inevitable choice to be made by the Seongnam Carriage Company.

"Lang Jun, we have already lowered the price three times, and now, a carriage for eight yuan can be bought for only five yuan, and if it is lowered again, we will lose money."

Wei Bao had a constipated expression on his face, standing beside Wei Siren and reporting the situation in the shop in the past few days.

"Can't you sell it even if you cut the price?"

Wei Siren has had a good life all these years, and in Chang'an City, whenever the Wei family's brand is displayed, basically everything can be done.

Even if he encounters some noble families, for the sake of his cousin's stable position in the Daming Palace, he will give in appropriately.

Who knew that he was going to be smashed in the hands of King Chu today.

Who is the financier behind the Mercedes-Benz carriage dealership, with the energy of the Wei family, it is natural to investigate it on the opening day.

"It stands to reason that it can be sold after the price reduction, and there are indeed more people who consult at the beginning, but ...... But ......"

Wei Bao seemed to think of something, and his face was hideous.

"But what?"

"That Mercedes-Benz carriage company is determined not to give us a way to live. If we lower the money, they will reduce the money by 010 yuan, and if we reduce the money by 2 yuan, they will reduce the money by 2000 yuan. Nowadays, a four-wheeled carriage can be bought for only six times and seven hundred dollars. ”

Wei Siren frowned when he heard this.

Li Kuan, the king of Chu, is estimated to be few in Chang'an City who have not heard of it.

Before, following behind the Chu Palace, the Wei family also made no less money.

Whale oil candles alone can bring tens of thousands of dollars of profit to the Wei family every year.

Although the two sides fought in Dengzhou Mansion before, no one put this matter on the table.

Unexpectedly, this time, the Chu Wangfu actually came to the core industry of the Wei family.

"Who is the shopkeeper of the Mercedes-Benz carriage dealership? Did you ask him out for a talk? ”

Wei Siren thought about it and felt that the other party's-for-tat approach seemed to be a little different from Li Kuan's previous methods.

Could it be that this is the shopkeeper of the Mercedes-Benz carriage shop making his own assertions?

The power of the shopkeepers of the various workshops in the Chu Wangfu is very great, and Wei Siren has heard about this situation for a long time.

"I made an appointment, but they didn't pay attention to me at all."

Wei Bao looked at Wei Siren a little aggrieved, hoping that his own Langjun would help him vent his anger.

"Ignore you?"

"Yes, I heard that the shopkeeper of the Mercedes-Benz carriage shop is a woman who is only a teenager."

"Such a big car dealership, the shopkeeper is actually a woman?"

Wei Siren was speechless.

Sure enough, it is the consistent style of His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

If my family is not mistaken, the shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion in the West Market is also a woman, right?

I heard that she is still the maidservant girl next to Li Kuan.

"Yes, it came from a fellow's mouth. However, I have also observed in the past two days, and there is indeed a woman wearing a veil who frequently enters and exits the Mercedes-Benz carriage shop, and there are guards around her. ”

"Only women and villains are difficult to raise, and the ancients did not deceive me."

Wei Siren secretly complained in his heart.

This situation makes it clear that the other party is not talking to him.

The shopkeeper of the Mercedes-Benz carriage shop is a woman, and it is not good for her to rush over directly to reason with others.

It seems that he can only go to the Chu Palace.

……

Eight times, seven crowns, six times, five runs......

The two-wheeled carriage has a price a day, and seeing the hundreds of carriages in the warehouse, the value of more than 1,000 yuan has been reduced out of thin air in just a few days, and Peng Zhiyun's face turned white.

The Peng family is not a big family, and no one is an official in the court.

To put it mildly, to be able to have today's Wanguan family wealth, all of which Peng Zhiyun has earned through hard work.

However, if you make a wrong step, there is no turning back.

Peng Zhiyun, who had already exchanged all the money he could take out in his hand for a carriage, couldn't even repay the hundreds of yuan he had borrowed temporarily.

Since ancient times, there have been many icing on the cake, but very few have been sent in the snow.

This is especially true when it comes to borrowing money.

Don't look at Peng Zhiyun's fox friends and dog friends, they were very bold before, you have dozens of times, and I have lent Peng Zhiyun a lot of money.

The profit required is not high at all.

However, now that the sales of two-wheeled carriages have taken a sharp turn, these former "friends" immediately came to collect debts.

"Lao Peng, it's not that I don't help you, it's that I've been short of money recently."

"That...... Lao Peng, I'm really embarrassed, this money, see if you can pay it back to me first, don't worry, I don't want any money. ”

"Shopkeeper Peng, it's boring for you to do this, it's a matter of course to repay debts."

The huge Peng Mansion was made lively by debt collectors within a few days.

Although Peng Zhiyun has tens of thousands of family wealth, all the money he can take out has been replaced by carriages.

The rest were all shops and fields everywhere, and for a while, they couldn't even afford to borrow a few hundred dollars.

The capital chain is broken!

In fact, this situation is also very common in later generations.

You see some people, with assets of tens of millions, hundreds of millions, when they really want to take out cash, it is likely that millions of dollars will not be able to be taken out immediately.

Peng Zhiyun only delayed for a few days, and some ruthless people took people to the Peng family's warehouse, pulled away a number of carriages, and sold one for three dollars.

Even though the two-wheeled carriage has such and such shortcomings, everyone has used it this way for hundreds of years, and there is actually a certain market.

In particular, it costs three times a car, which is a price that I couldn't think of before.

Naturally, someone bought it.

And the others looked at it, hey, how can it be like this?

I also hurried to pull a batch out to sell, but it was too late, and maybe it would be sold out.

The two-wheeled carriage market in Chang'an City was already hit by Mercedes-Benz carriage shops.

Now, suddenly, hundreds of two-wheeled carriages entered the market at a low price of three yuan, and the carriage shop in the south of the city was immediately confused.

This is a bit like the stock market in the future, suddenly a dealer accidentally wants to liquidate, in order to close the position, a large number of ultra-low-level large orders are smashed out, and the stock price is immediately knocked to the ground.

At this time, no matter how much your stuff is worth, it will have to fall.

……

Seongnam Carriage Deal, the recent atmosphere is very special. The guys try not to make a sound when they walk, so as not to attract the attention of others.

What happened in the shop, everyone is very clear.

However, few people know what to do next.

"Lang Jun, it's true...... Is it really going to be sold? In this way, all the money we earned before was basically lost. ”

Wei Bao stood beside Wei Siren with a sad face.

In the past two months, the Wei family's carriage workshop has stocked a lot of carriages, originally wanting to make more money, who knew that the world would change so quickly.

"Sell! What if it doesn't sell? You didn't see that Peng Zhiyun, drinking soup behind us, and even the family almost lost it. It was almost the end of the year, and if these carriages were not disposed of, the carriage workshop would have no money to use. ”

The importance of working capital, Wei Siren has been in charge of business for so many years, and naturally knows it.

No matter how big your family business is, once the capital chain is broken, it will be over.

"That'...... There are still hundreds of semi-finished carriages in the carriage workshop, whether to continue to make them or ......"

Wei Bao felt that his heart and liver were hurting.

The carriage workshop had five or six hundred carriages in stock, and there were two or three hundred more in the backyard of the carriage shop in the south of the city, plus several hundred semi-finished products, and the loss was as high as more than 1,000 per cent.

Although more than a thousand runs are nothing to the Wei family.

Crucially, the future of the carriage workshop is bleak.

Also, the Wei family does not only have a carriage workshop and shop in Chang'an City, but the losses in Luoyang and other places add up, which is also a terrifying number.

"Do it, keep doing it, don't do it, the loss is greater; If you don't make it, wouldn't the Mercedes-Benz carriage shop be able to sell hundreds more carriages? ”

Wei Siren felt that he was going to suffer losses left and right, so he simply added some trouble to the other door.

At the current price of three dollars per frame, many merchants will continue to consider using two-wheeled carriages.

This meant that the demand for horse-drawn carriages was reduced.

"We asked a few blacksmith shops about that bearing, but they didn't have the confidence to make it."

Thinking of the future, Wei Bao couldn't help but have a sour nose.

I don't see the future at all.

I originally thought that the bearing should not be difficult, but who knew that it was not easy at all.

"Didn't you take that bearing apart and look at it? There's nothing special about it. ”

Wei Siren looked at Wei Bao with a puzzled expression.

"Lang Jun, the cylindrical rollers in the bearing require a high degree of consistency, if there is a large or small one, there is no way to make the bearing; If you just make one or two simply, many shops are confident that they can complete it, but if you want to make a large number of identical bearings, no one will dare to accept it. ”

At this time, the craftsman will be will, and will not be no.

Don't dare to hold it up at will.

"The bearings used in the carriage workshop of the Chu Wangfu, do you know where they came from?"

Since he couldn't figure it out, Wei Siren wanted to see if there was any other way.

"I figured it out, it was produced on the ground in a workshop city called the Bearing Research Institute. It is said to be the property under the Guanshishan Academy. ”

"Guanshishan Academy? Isn't that also the property of the Chu Palace? ”

"yes, so they won't sell it to us."

"Humph! Whether they sell it or not, send someone to ask first. In addition, this four-wheeled carriage has sold so much in just a few days, you should keep an eye out to see if anything has happened and if there is anything that can be done to make a fuss. ”

Wei Siren had no choice but to take one step at a time.

……

In the courtyard of the Chu Palace, Li Kuan was teasing Li Xinning.

The little one, who is more than a month old, is already able to raise his head on his stomach.

Every time she raised her head curiously and looked to both sides, her big watery eyes were clear and flawless, which made Li Kuan can't help but hug and kiss a few bites.

"Lord Wang, you spoil her too much, you will be spoiled by you in the future."

After Cheng Jingwen finished the confinement, the whole person was a little plumper, but being young is good, and her complexion recovered quickly.

"Isn't my daughter just for petting?"

Li Kuan hugged the little guy and spun around twice, which made her smile.

"I heard Mei Niang say that the recent four-wheeled carriage in the house has swept Chang'an City, especially the newly launched luxury four-wheeled carriage, which is very favored by noble and wealthy businessmen."

After the ordinary freight carriage was sold for more than half a month, the luxurious four-wheeled carriage that the nobles had been waiting for finally appeared.

The special leaf spring suspension, although it is a shock absorption system used only by later trucks, is already a luxury treatment for Datang without any shock absorption measures.

It's not that Li Kuan really doesn't understand the classic MacPherson independent suspension or anything like that, it's really the technology of this era, and he can't make qualified things.

Especially springs, for a while, don't want to make a satisfactory product out.

However, to Li Kuan's surprise, the leaf spring suspension was also very favored by the nobles.

The cast iron wheels, wrapped with a layer of cork, also made the nobles feel the extraordinaryness of their own carriages.

In addition, the frame made of stainless steel is used in large quantities, giving people a full sense of security.

As for the price......

Are you missing these hundreds of dollars?

"Food, clothing, housing and transportation are needs that no one can live without. In the past, the carriage, as you know, felt that after sitting for a long time, people were going to be dizzy, and there was no comfort at all, so our four-wheeled carriage was only slightly improved, and everyone was very satisfied. ”

Since he is ready to make the carriage workshop bigger and stronger, Li Kuan naturally guides him every once in a while, so that the craftsmen's skills and vision have been greatly improved.

In addition, in order to solve the traffic problem of craftsmen living in Chang'an City to the workshop city, the Mercedes-Benz carriage workshop stepped forward and opened a public carriage from Mingde Gate to the workshop city.

In addition to the free ride of the craftsmen under the Chu Palace, it is also open to the public.

Starting with a single article and charging in sections, it has also attracted the curious eyes of many people.

"Satisfaction is satisfaction, but the production of this luxury carriage is too low, even Snow Goose came to ask me if I could give her two priority supplies."

Cheng Jingwen looked at Li Kuan helplessly.

"Whoever places the deposit first will deliver his carriage first. This is a rule that Mei Niang has set a long time ago, and it cannot be abolished at will. If Snow Goose is really in a hurry to use the carriage, give her the one in the palace first. ”

Wu Meiniang has formulated a lot of rules for the carriage workshop during this time, and many of them are quite reasonable, so Li Kuan is also very supportive.

In order for the carriage workshop to truly operate into a century-old shop, it is necessary to have some necessary rules and adherence to it.
