Chapter 333: A Different Third Son Shop
Anyifang is located directly south of Chang'an City.
Entering Chang'an City from Mingde Gate, it is immediately Anyifang, which can be said to be a typical good location.
The carriage workshop in the south of the city is located in Anyifang and has a history of several decades.
There is a large shop, so that passers-by want not to notice it is a little difficult.
Recently, a poorly run shop across from the carriage workshop in the south of the city was bought, and someone came to pick it up, tearing down most of the original stuff and building a modern building.
Sales, maintenance, accessories, Li Kuan talked to Wu Meiniang about the things in the fourth son's store in the later generations, and the result was this completely different Mercedes-Benz carriage shop.
Considering that the development of the carriage has a great impact on the future of Datang, Li Kuan rarely followed Wu Meiniang to visit and guide in person.
"Lord Wang, the promotion of this four-wheeled carriage, I thought of the scene of the promotion of woolen sweaters at the beginning, and I think it can be moved over and used, and the effect should not be bad."
Wu Meiniang followed behind Li Kuan step by step, looking at the rows of four-wheeled carriages parked in the yard behind the Mercedes-Benz carriage shop.
After all, it was her first time to make a move, Wu Meiniang did not pursue unconventional promotion measures too much, but sorted out the plans used under the Chu Wangfu in the past few years, and directly chose the one she liked the most.
Listening to Qing'er, there was still the shadow of the prince behind this plan back then, which strengthened Wu Meiniang's choice.
"Yes, go around Chang'an City a few times, in less than two days, everyone in Chang'an City knows that Anyifang has newly opened a Mercedes-Benz carriage shop, specializing in selling four-wheeled carriages."
Li Kuan imagined a four-wheeled carriage with a lot of smoke, lined up in a long line, and walked quickly through the streets of Chang'an City, which must have been very spectacular.
That promotion effect can completely allow other shops to take a ride and advertise.
"In order to let everyone see the loading capacity of our four-wheeled wagons, I plan to let the parade wagons go to the warehouse where the honeycomb coal is stored early tomorrow morning to load the honeycomb coal, and during the parade, I will help the honeycomb coal shops in the city to deliver a batch of goods. Anyway, it's going to be winter, and the sales of honeycomb coal will also have a rapid increase, and now is the time to replenish the stock. ”
Wu Meiniang is very thoughtful, and it can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
"This can be had, and at the same time, it is also necessary to focus on publicizing that the carriages sold by our Mercedes-Benz carriage dealers will be repaired free of charge if there are non-human quality problems within three months; Even if the carriage breaks down in the future, we can also help repair it for a fee, and some people in the province are not familiar with the four-wheeled carriage and dare not take it lightly. ”
Li Kuan is a little curious about how much impact this 3S store, which integrates vehicle sales, spare parts and after-sales service, can bring to the carriage industry in Chang'an City.
Datang is not very short of horses, if the carriage is good enough, many families will consider buying it.
Especially those small merchants and hawkers, with this four-wheeled carriage, it is like having a Wuling magic car.
It can not only pull goods, but also pull people, and it is a good helper to make a fortune.
The four-wheeled carriage is promising, and Li Kuan is ready to develop it as a core industry of the Chu Palace.
Moreover, only the entry-level version of the horse-drawn carriage is now available, which is mainly used to transport goods.
A more advanced version can be launched later, especially for princes and nobles, wealthy merchants, and some luxurious decorations can be put on it, so that the four-wheeled carriage can completely replace the two-wheeled carriage.
"Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter properly."
Wu Meiniang had a charming and confident smile on her face.
If you put on a uniform, you will be a proper domineering female president.
……
Wei Bao's right eye has been beating recently, which makes him a little uneasy.
However, fortunately, the business of the carriage shop in the south of the city is very good, and he doesn't have to worry about it, and he can sell all the carriages he wants to sell every day.
Therefore, during this time, he basically stayed in the Wei family's carriage workshop, and the steward who supervised the workshop continued to expand its scale and produce more carriages.
Seeing that there were more than 500 carriages parked in the open space next to the carriage workshop, he returned to the carriage shop in the south of the city with peace of mind.
"Shopkeeper, the shop opposite us that has been renovated, you may want to pay attention to it, I saw a lot of carriages going in there yesterday."
As soon as Wei Bao came back, a guy came to his side to report the situation in the shop recently, and when it was over, he also reminded him.
"Huh? The shop across the street is used to sell horse-drawn carriages? ”
Wei Bao looked at the guy in surprise, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
In Chang'an City, someone dares to sell carriages opposite the carriage shop in the south of the city?
How much self-confidence does this have to have?
When it comes to selling carriages, Wei Bao really doesn't think that there is anyone in Chang'an City who can be better than himself.
"Yes, I listened to the side attack and found out, it should be a carriage seller. Strangely, though, my carriage was four-wheeled when I saw them yesterday. ”
"Four-wheeled?"
Wei Bao sneered, "I really don't know how the word dead is written, I actually sell four-wheeled carriages, the shopkeeper of this shop is guilty of brain disease, right?" ”
Wei Bao was still curious just now, who was the new owner of the shop opposite, and he actually dared to sell carriages opposite him, which was clearly to provoke the carriage company in the south of the city and provoke Jingzhao Wei.
However, after hearing the guy say that the carriage sold on the other side was actually four-wheeled, he had no idea of continuing to understand.
It's like an Olympic sanda champion, I heard that the students of a sports school in a county town in the mountains want to challenge themselves, how can they be in the mood to understand what the other party is like?
Isn't that a waste of time?
If he wants to die, then come.
Anyway, there are many defeated generals under his command, and there is no shortage of such a one.
"Shopkeeper, do you want to arrange for someone to sneak in at night to see what is the situation of the carriage they sell?"
The guy is still very conscientious for the sake of the future of the shop, and thinks that since someone dares to sell carriages opposite the carriage shop in the south of the city, there should be a few brushes.
"No, the left and right are just a clown jumping beam, I guess I saw that the carriage in Chang'an City was very good this year, and I wanted to come in and get a piece of the pie. Hehe, then let him see, carriages are not so easy to sell! ”
Wei Bao was not in the mood to continue to learn about the shop opposite, but studied the sales of carriages in the shop during this time.
Since the use of Arabic numerals and abacus spread among the various account offices, Wei Bao also took some effort to learn it, and with his ingenuity, he naturally quickly mastered this skill.
Now, every ten days, he has to sort out the ledger and analyze the profitability of the shop.
Judging from the current situation, the situation is very good!
……
In late autumn and early winter, Chang'an City at this moment has a different kind of beauty. A westerly wind blew, and the trees on both sides of Suzaku Street dropped their last yellow leaves.
In the early morning, with the rising sun, the thirty-six carriages of the Mercedes-Benz carriage line carried full of honeycomb coal and lined up into Chang'an City.
"Run faster, carry more, use longer", this is the slogan of the Mercedes-Benz carriage company.
Each carriage was hung up under a banner with all sorts of slogans written on it.
The style of language, as always, breaks the routine and is eye-catching.
"Ten dollars a fight, not satisfied? Three-day return and exchange! ”
"Three-month warranty, relieve your worries."
"Buy three days before the opening and get a free bamboo tube of whale oil grease."
"Mercedes-Benz four-wheeled carriage, give you an extraordinary feeling."
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there must be a galloping carriage when there is a road."
"If you want to make more money, come and buy a Mercedes-Benz carriage."
"Mercedes-Benz four-wheeled carriage, a good helper to make a fortune."
Thirty-six carriages, unified shapes, unified guises, and even the clothes worn by the coachmen are uniform, bringing infinite impact to people.
"Brother Lao, quick, go to the intersection and take a look."
Niu Zhu's home is in the same square as Lao Hansan, but Niu Zhu got up a little earlier, and when he came to the intersection, he happened to run into the parade of Mercedes-Benz carriage dealers.
The scene at the warehouse in Workshop City the day before yesterday left a deep impression on Niu Zhu.
For the past two days, he has been asking where he can buy a four-wheeled carriage, but unfortunately he has not inquired.
I didn't expect to see such a scene early this morning.
Although Niu Zhu wanted to go to the Mercedes-Benz carriage shop to buy a four-wheeled carriage immediately, but when the matter came, he couldn't make up his mind, so he hurried to Lao Hansan's house and wanted to take a companion.
"I said Niu Zhu, didn't I tell you yesterday, there is something at home today, and I won't go to work in the morning."
Lao Hansan was carrying a big rooster that had just cut his neck in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, and the chicken blood was still dripping, which made Niu Zhu startled.
"What could be more important than a horse-drawn carriage? Hurry up and come with me, ten dollars a bargain, it's too late, don't blame me for not calling you. ”
Niu Zhu took two steps back, and quickly realized the purpose of his visit.
"Four-wheeled carriage? Ten dollars a rack? ”
When Lao Hansan heard this, his eyes lit up.
In the past two days, the two of them have not talked much about the four-wheeled carriage, if the four-wheeled carriage produced by the Chu Wangfu is really as good as the young coachman described, it is definitely something that needs to be exchanged immediately.
They had already settled an account, and felt that as long as the price of the four-wheeled carriage did not exceed twenty yuan, they could consider selling the two-wheeled carriage in their hands.
If it's high, wait and see.
Now, as long as ten dollars, what are you hesitating about?
Both of them belong to the small rich families who have a little money in their hands, and they immediately went to get copper coins and went out.
The Mercedes-Benz carriage company made such a big move in Chang'an City, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.
After Li Zhong received the news, he immediately reported to Li Shimin.
"You mean Kuan'er has been tossing up the carriage lately? Or is it a four-wheeled one? ”
Li Shimin knew that Li Kuan had just had a daughter, and the baby looked like something, thinking that he would stop for a while recently.
I didn't expect it to be able to toss as always.
"Yes, the Mercedes-Benz carriage shop under the door of His Royal Highness the King of Chu arranged for thirty-six carriages to parade in Chang'an City today, causing congestion at several intersections."
Li Zhong's mentality is now much calmer, and things like today can no longer cause him to worry.
"I've never been in a four-wheeled carriage, so why do everyone else make two-wheeled ones?"
There are some things that you see every day, and you don't necessarily wonder why they are the way they are.
Even if he is as smart as Li Shimin, every time he sees a two-wheeled carriage, he never thinks about it, why is there no four-wheeled one? Or what about six wheels?
It's like when you see something falling to the ground, you don't think, why is it falling to the ground, not flying into the sky?
"Your Majesty, it is said that the four-wheeled carriage is inconvenient to turn, and there are too many things to load, and the axle cannot stand it, so it is of little practical use."
Li Zhong is now learning to be obedient, but whenever he reports to Li Shimin about Li Zhong, he will imagine in advance what Li Shimin will ask and make preparations in time.
Otherwise, every time His Majesty asks a question, he can't answer it, and he will be depressed.
A few days ago, it turned out that in the Taiji Palace, Li Junxian, who was responsible for guarding the Xuanwu Gate, was transferred to the Daming Palace, responsible for continuing to guard the safety of the North Gate.
This made Li Zhong have a sense of crisis, Li Junxian was deeply trusted by His Majesty, otherwise he would not have handed over the guards of Xuanwu Gate to him.
If you don't do a good job, you may not be able to sit firmly in the position of the leader of the Hundred Cavalry.
"Then Kuan'er still has a four-wheeled carriage? So, he should have solved this problem, right? ”
Li Kuan has come up with something unexpected, not once or twice.
Therefore, Li Shimin did not suspect that Li Kuan was stupidly making useless four-wheeled carriages.
"Your Majesty, I think it's been solved, but the specific situation needs to be inquired about by my subordinates."
Li Zhong wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and sighed secretly in his heart, his preparation was still not enough.
……
In the carriage shop south of the city, Wei Bao listened to the man's report with a gloomy face.
The Mercedes-Benz carriage shop opposite made such a big move, he just couldn't pay attention to it.
Especially when he saw the four-wheeled carriage actually complete the turn with ease, his forehead immediately began to sweat.
What is the situation of the four-wheeled carriage, the Wei family's carriage workshop has not tried to do it, and it is obviously very difficult to turn.
"Shopkeeper, I have arranged for someone to line up with copper coins, and I can buy a prototype car back after a while."
The guy was afraid that Wei Bao would spill his anger on himself, so he said cautiously.
"Are the people in line sure they're all going to buy four-wheeled carriages?"
Looking out of the window, you can see a long queue in front of the Mercedes-Benz carriage shop.
Smart people are not just Lao Hansan and Niu Zhu.
A four-wheeled carriage was only two times more expensive than the current two-wheeled carriage, but it could carry more than twice as much goods.
The most important thing is that the Mercedes-Benz carriage company said that as long as you are not satisfied, you will be refunded within three days.
So what's there to hesitate about?
In just one morning, the coachmen who knew the news came to the Mercedes-Benz carriage shop one after another.
Some of them moved quickly, and when they came over, they asked their families to sell the two-wheeled carriage.
Four-wheeled carriages are so cheap, how can two-wheeled carriages be sold?
It's hard not to drop the price, so why don't you sell it at a good price now, and when will you sell it again?
