Chapter 191: Prosperity and Crisis

In the Tang Dynasty, horses are the most important means of transportation, however, not everyone can ride a horse, and after riding a horse for a long time, it is easy to get tired, if it is not for the strong people who can't bear it at all, so there is a saying that civil officials sit in sedan chairs and military attaches ride horses.

But not everyone is satisfied with their mounts, although the speed of riding is fast, but it is good in summer, and if it is cold in winter, it will be fatal.

Although the sedan chair is comfortable, but it is slow to death, if it is good for a short time, it is estimated that you must have super patience to sit in the sedan chair for a long time.

Isn't there a carriage? Hehe! Running up makes your soul flutter.

When a comfortable, fast and fast carriage appeared in this blank market, it can be imagined how much of a sensation it caused.

Every time an ambulance roars past Chang'an City, it is a free publicity for a four-wheeled carriage.

When the four-wheeled carriage of Mojia Village appeared in Chang'an City, it soon set off a frenzy of four-wheeled carriages.

Squeak,

A brand-new four-wheeled carriage stopped in front of Pan's Restaurant, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The carriage door opened, and Sun Ju and a few friends got out of the carriage.

"It turned out to be Sun Juren, ah! This is Sun Juren's newly bought carriage? Shopkeeper Pan hurriedly greeted him, looked at the brand-new four-wheeled carriage and asked enviously.

"No, you've just started." Sun Juren said proudly.

"Sun Juren is arrogant!" The shopkeeper Pan complimented, and while leading Sun Juren to the table, Xiao Pan led the coachman to park the four-wheeled carriage in the backyard.

"It took me eighty times at once, and I feel sorry for me!" Sun Juren said in an exaggerated tone, where is distress, it is clearly showing off.

"Isn't it just two more wheels? So expensive? The shopkeeper Pan was taken aback, an ordinary carriage is only a few pieces of money, and eighty times is already a month's profit of his Pan family restaurant, this is not to say that Mojia Village sells more than a dozen carriages, and he has been working in the restaurant for a year.

"It's expensive, but it's really worth it, this carriage is comfortable, convenient, and it's a pleasure to sit on." One of Sun Juren's friends sighed, and the other companions also nodded.

"It's still Mojia Village that will do business." Shopkeeper Pan sighed.

The same thing happened from time to time in Chang'an City, before that, Chang'an City valued horses, but as soon as the four-wheeled carriage of Mojia Village came out, it directly became a symbol of status.

In addition, the huge cargo capacity of the four-wheeled truck caused a huge sensation in Chang'an City, and Merton's imitation of the caravan of the American westward movement caused a sensation in the business community of Chang'an City with a load capacity of 5,000 catties.

You must know that ordinary carriages can pull more than 1,000 catties to the sky, 5,000 catties of goods, usually need to pull two or three times, now the same two horses, one time is enough.

One can imagine how tempting it will be for businessmen who rely heavily on transportation.

The four-wheeled carriages in the Mojia boutique are simply in short supply, and in the end, there are a few horse-drawn carriages left as test drives, and if you want to spot them, you have to book them.

"So far, the Mojia boutique has sold 700 four-wheeled carriages and 400 four-wheeled wagons, of which 80 are reserved for four-wheeled carriages and 150 are reserved for four-wheeled wagons." In the Mojia boutique, Xu Jie reported excitedly.

Just when Mojia Village was designing an ambulance for Mojia Hospital, Xu Jie keenly discovered the business opportunities and immediately asked Mojia Village to start manufacturing four-wheeled carriages at the same time.

"Good!" Merton said excitedly.

Seven hundred carriages are 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, and although the four-wheeled truck is cheaper, there are still 30,000 or 40,000 yuan of input, plus the scheduled expenses, there is a turnover of 100,000 yuan in just half a month.

Xu Jie was also excited that he couldn't help himself, 100,000 runs, but it was directly equivalent to the sum of Xu's firm in a year, and Mojia Village did it in just half a month.

And this is only the entry of Chang'an City, if you add Luoyang City, which is not inferior to Chang'an at all, in the Grand Canal of Luoyang to connect to all parts of the river, what a big market it will be.

"However, there is one thing, please ask the young master to decide!" Xu Jie suddenly thought of something, and his face changed and said.

"Hmm!" Merton looked at him suspiciously.

"The young master will know at a glance!" Xu Jie said with a solemn face, got up and led Mo Dun to a side room in the Mo family's boutique.

"What is this?" Merton looked at the side room, and there was a lot of familiar things in doubt.

"Young master, please look at this wok!" Xu Jie handed the wok in his hand to Merton.

Merton took it suspiciously, stretched out his hand, and suddenly felt a sinking.

"This is not a wok produced in Mojia Village!" Mo Dun said with a solemn face, and looked down, and sure enough, there was no sign of Mojia Village.

"This is indeed not our wok, but it looks exactly like us." Xu Jie smiled bitterly.

"Imitation!" Merton's face suddenly sank.

"Not bad!" Xu Jie nodded heavily.

Immediately afterwards, the curved plough and the new-style cocoon were all placed in front of Merton, and even in the end, Xu Jie actually came to pull out a four-wheeled carriage with an almost identical appearance to Mojia Village.

Merton's heart was shocked, he didn't expect the other party to be so keen, even the four-wheeled carriage had been copied, although he already knew that in this era without patents, this situation was inevitable, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

"How is the other party's technology?" Merton asked.

"Although it is inferior to the Mo family's manufacturing, it does not hinder the use, take the four-wheeled carriage as an example, in addition to the shock absorption and brakes, almost all the craftsmanship of the other party will know, even the front wheel shaft of the territory has been conquered by the other party!" Xu Jie said bitterly.

"Public loser!" Merton said with a gloomy face.

Xu Jie nodded bitterly and said, "These are all spread from the Wang family's trading house. ”

The process that can reach this point, except for the public loser, can no longer find a second in the world, and the public loser is invited by the Wang family, if you want to sell the goods, it is natural to go from the channels of the Wang family's firm.

"In addition, there is a strange phenomenon, the price of the public loser's pot is very low, if calculated according to the normal cost, it is almost a loss, unless it is ......." Xu Jie said strangely.

"Unless his iron is cheap!" Merton opened his mouth to answer.

"Yes!" Xu Jie nodded affirmatively, as a businessman, he clearly knew that no one would sit at a loss.

"Eldest Sun Chong!" Merton affirmed.

The eldest grandson family controls most of the iron material transactions in the Tang Dynasty, and only by relying on the eldest grandson family, the public loser can get the cheap iron material.

Morton took a deep breath, he didn't expect that the other party had finally found the weakest link in Mojia Village, that is, the products cast by Mojia Village were all easy to imitate.

A large number of low-priced imitations hit the market, which will definitely bring a huge crisis to Mojia Village.
