Chapter 566 swept the Tang Dynasty
This four-wheeled carriage is quite comfortable to sit on.
Compared with the two-wheeled carriage, I don't know how much more comfortable.
It's also a good option to buy one back.
And price, naturally, is the focus of their concern.
Therefore, after Qian Duoduo asked, many people at the scene pricked up their ears.
Li Su smiled and said, "An ordinary four-wheeled carriage that looks like you just took just now costs five hundred yuan. ”
What the?
Five hundred dollars?
This number, in the countless people present, doubted their ears.
Did you hear it wrong?
How can it be so little?
You know, a two-wheeled carriage with wooden wheels costs more than 400 yuan.
And the price of this rubber-tired four-wheeled carriage is only 500 yuan!
How can the price be so low?
That's pretty much their cost price, right?
Could it be that the King of Shu launched the four-wheeled carriage for the purpose of profit?
The people present are not only the rich second generation, but also many rich generations.
After a short period of thought, the blank look on their faces disappeared, and their faces couldn't help but show a trace of shock.
This price seems to have a lot of meaning.
Which of Datang's car and ship businesses is the biggest?
It must be the Lu family with five surnames and seven hopes!
And now, the introduction of such a low-priced four-wheeled carriage by the King of Shu is quite intriguing.
It can be said that as soon as the five-hundred-dollar four-wheeled carriage was launched, it was almost a devastating blow to the Lu family's carriage business.
There is only a difference of 100 yuan in the middle, and there is almost no need to make too many choices, and it must be the four-wheeled carriage of the Chinese Commercial Bank.
Moreover, even if the Lu family lowers the price of ordinary wooden-wheeled two-wheeled carriages by two or three hundred yuan, they may not be able to compete with other people's four-wheeled carriages.
King Shu, is this going to war against the Lu family?
However, these people are not intimidated by this.
Although the Lu family is a behemoth, isn't there still the King of Shu here!
If they can follow the King of Shu this time, and the King of Shu eats meat, how can they get a little soup to drink?
Next, Li Su continued: "There is also a luxury version of the carriage, the carriages are all reinforced, and there is a shock absorption system. The seat cushion is the most comfortable sofa, and the compartment is larger and can accommodate a coffee table. The price is ten thousand dollars. ”
"Finally, there's the Ultimate Supreme Edition, which is made entirely of stainless steel, with silver foil on the outside and tempered glass. Ordinary arrows can't destroy the carriage at all. “
"And the space in the carriage is very large, there is a dining table and a separate toilet. As for the price, it's only 100,000 yuan! ”
After listening to Li Su's offer, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but shine!
This supreme version of the four-wheeled carriage is simply too much for his taste!
Man, you need a supreme version to support the scene!
At that moment, Qian Duoduo couldn't wait to say: "Your Highness, I want a supreme version!" ”
Li Su smiled and said, "Okay, you can go directly to the headquarters to pick up the car when you turn around." The Supreme Edition has only been produced in ten quantities so far, but you are the first to place an order, and we guarantee that there will be one of yours. ”
"Your Highness, and me, and me! I'd like a supreme one too! ”
"Me! I! I want it too! ”
The price of the Supreme Edition is 100,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the price of two electric vehicles.
But those present lack everything, that is, there is no shortage of local tyrants.
Li Su's side followed a staff member and began to register information for these people.
Top ten, cars can be mentioned today.
Those who are in the back need to pay a deposit and wait.
This supreme version of the carriage takes several days to build.
But the more this happens, the more sought after.
In fact, the most profitable, of course, are the Deluxe Edition and the Supreme Edition.
As for the ordinary ones, of course, there are profit margins, and the profits are about thirty percent.
But with the Deluxe Edition and the Supreme Edition, there is no comparison at all.
And most of the people at the scene, in fact, were most interested in the ordinary version of the carriage.
Someone asked on the spot: "Your Highness, the ordinary version of the carriage, can we cooperate with the China Commercial Bank?" ”
Hearing this question, a smile appeared on Li Su's face.
"This, naturally, is possible! We can take cooperation, you can choose to join. ”
"You will bring out the site and the workers, and you will prepare the timber for the carriage."
"On our side of the China Car Company, we will send technicians to guide and supervise, and similarly, those core parts will also be provided by us."
"After making the finished product, we only take a 10% profit for each car."
This model is already a very mature franchise model in later generations.
In Datang, of course, there are also some franchise stores of Chinese commercial banks in the early stage.
However, there are still some differences between the joining of this car dealership and the joining of those projects.
This way of joining made many people present bright-eyed.
This kind of cooperation can be a perfect win-win situation!
In fact, there is another way of selling Chinese commercial banks.
That is, the Chinese Commercial Bank directly acts as an agent for the finished products to them.
But in this case, the freight on the way is an additional payment.
And the engagement of these agents is not high.
It is also a great challenge to the production capacity of China Commercial Bank.
And now?
It is equivalent to the cooperation between the Chinese Commercial Bank and the wealthy businessmen in various places.
This partnership is even closer.
Not only can it reduce the hassle and cost of the first way of transportation, but it can also share the risk.
This kind of cooperation is really wonderful!
I really don't know how the King of Shu has so many wonderful methods!
At the scene, there were many people who wanted to join.
Of course, the review of joining is much stricter in comparison.
This must be carefully selected.
For a state, only one franchisee is needed.
The qualifications of franchisees must also go through strict screening.
For example, the reputation should be good, the style should be decent, and the strength should be strong.
These points, that are really indispensable.
"As for the matter of joining, you can go to the headquarters of the China Commercial Bank to send an application, which requires strict review before it can be passed. And, in order to ensure the interests of franchisees, we will only select one franchisee in a state. ”
"It's not too late to talk about this matter when we get back. Below, take a look at our second new product launched today! ”
Next, Li Su pointed to the surface of the river and said to everyone: "In this river, there is an iron boat made by our Chinese trading house. ”
"This iron ship is lighter, stronger, and more durable than a wooden ship. And the cost, only two-thirds of the wooden boat. ”
In fact, compared with the small iron boats produced by the Chinese Commercial Bank, the advantages are not so obvious.
But the price advantage, that's a real deal.
Only two-thirds the price of a wooden boat, a full third of the money can be saved.
This proves that the cost of iron ships is cheaper than that of wooden ships.
The appearance of the iron boat, except for a few rich second generations, the others still don't understand.
This time, the King of Shu is really targeting the Lu family.
The biggest business of the Lu family is the car and ship business, and in these two businesses, as soon as the King of Shu makes a move, it will be a fatal blow to the Lu family.
I'm afraid the Lu family doesn't even have a chance to fight back.
The Lu family did not lose in strength, but in technology!
I believe that the Lu family will not sit idly by, but they are facing the King of Shu.
As long as it is not for the five surnames and seven wangs to join forces to resist, relying on the Lu family alone, I am afraid that it is really not the opponent of the king of Shu.
And now, the time has come to test their courage.
Whether it is the King of Shu or the Lu family, to them, they are all behemoths.
And now, the struggle between the two, if they rush into it, they will take a great risk.
Of course, this also means a great opportunity for them.
As for whether they want to avoid risks or embrace opportunities, it depends on their strength and courage.
There are quite a few rich people who quietly retreat.
The gods fight, and they think it's better to avoid it.
And there are also some rich people who choose to seize this opportunity.
Damn the bird upwards, immortal for thousands of years!
Fight hard, and maybe they'll rise.
In the following time, these symbols began to focus on these iron ships.
No matter how good the King of Shu said, they must also personally verify that this iron ship really has excellent quality, so they dare to negotiate cooperation with the Chinese Commercial Bank.
Doesn't the iron ship sink to the bottom?
How is it possible to float on the river and be of better quality than a wooden boat?
Even though there were more than 200 iron boats floating on the river, everyone was still in disbelief.
Some local tyrants whose hometowns are close to the river and who really want to do boat business can't help but go to the iron boats by the river to conduct field investigations.
In the end, they found out that it was really a fake iron ship!
Then, they experimented with it for themselves.
I found that this iron ship was really lighter and more agile than a wooden ship.
In terms of quality, it goes without saying that an iron ship is certainly capable of being stronger than a wooden one.
It's just that in terms of service life, they are a little unsure.
But the gold-lettered signboards of the King of Shu and the Chinese Commercial Bank are resting here!
Every product produced by China Commercial Bank is a classic and has never disappointed.
I believe that this one will not either.
Therefore, after personally inspecting the quality of the iron ship, these people were all excited.
Next, they couldn't wait to come to the headquarters of the Chinese Commercial Bank, and began to contact the Chinese Commercial Bank, ready to cooperate with them.
And the next audit work is actually carried out very quickly.
Because of the existence of Dream Weaving, they have already figured out the situation in each state in advance.
What are the giants in these states, what is their reputation, and what is their strength.
If you cooperate with them, whether you can resist the pressure of the five surnames and seven hopes, etc., they have made a measurement.
In the entire Tang Dynasty, if you talk about the biggest wealthy family, there is no doubt that there are five surnames and seven hopes.
But everywhere, in fact, there are tenants.
Their strength, although it is comparable to the five surnames and seven hopes, cannot be compared at all.
But locally, their influence is no less than that of the five surnames and seven hopes.
And these are exactly the objects that Li Su wants to win over and cooperate.
Of course, in the base camp of the five surnames and seven hopes, in these places, there must be no wealthy family who can compete with them.
However, these areas were directly abandoned by Li Su.
What's the point of giving them all these areas?
If the influence of the five surnames and seven hopes is only in their base camp, and all other places are suppressed.
It is enough to prove that their five surnames and seven hopes have completely declined.
If this step is done, the prestige of the five surnames and seven hopes will be greatly suppressed.
Next, you can slowly pick them up step by step.
In just five days, the initial cooperation was finalized.
And next, it is a matter of the two sides to jointly set up a factory.
This step was also carried out very quickly.
On the chassis of these local tyrants, they want to find a factory, which is simply a simple thing.
As for manpower, not to mention, a large number of people can be pulled out casually.
As for the tools, the China Commercial Bank has long produced many sets of tools for backup.
By train, the tools were quickly transported.
The father of Qian Duoduo was full of money, and he started a car dealership and shipyard business with the Chinese Commercial Bank.
And Qian Duoduo, also out of curiosity, temporarily returned to his hometown.
On the outskirts of Hangzhou, the Qian family was originally engaged in the timber business and furniture business, and originally had a factory.
They have directly saved the step of building the plant, and the workers are all ready-made, all experienced carpenters.
Qian Manguan is a businessman with a keen sense of smell, and he realizes the huge business opportunity here.
Although he was only an agent in Hangzhou, he also signed a contract with the Zhonghua Commercial Bank, and the goods produced by their cooperation could only be sold in Hangzhou.
Such a contract is also set up to ensure that there will be no malicious competition between these agents and to ensure the interests of all agents.
However, if they produce fast enough, in the area around Hangzhou, there are people willing to come here to buy goods, then it doesn't matter to them.
Merchants are profit-seeking, and as long as they are fast enough, they can make a lot of money in the early stage.
Therefore, the action of the money slam can be said to be a race against time.
In three days, the equipment and guidance personnel of the headquarters rushed to their factory.
It took another day, under the command of the technical instructor, and all the equipment was installed.
And the wood for building the car has long been prepared, and the manpower is ready-made.
And these carpenters are all made of home furnishings, and even horse-drawn carriages have been made.
They are the fastest to get started.
In just one day, they were able to produce two wagons.
And, in just one day, they were basically familiar with the entire process.
Of course, it's just familiarity, and it can take a month or two to get to the top of your game.
But it doesn't matter, because now, many local agents have not even done the factory thing.
By the time they were able to start production, it was estimated that they had already produced a number of wagons.
In the next time, Qian Slam gathered a large number of people, divided them into two shifts, and started crazy production without black and white.
Five days later, the paint had dried, and the Chinese four-wheeled carriage officially began to be put on the market.
Well, it should be said that the Zhonghua brand four-wheeled carriage was officially put on the market in Hangzhou.
In fact, before this, the Zhonghua brand four-wheeled carriage had been put on the market in the entire Jiannan Road.
Jiannan Road is Li Su's base camp, and it is naturally impossible to find any agents in the entire Jiannan Road.
The Zhonghua brand four-wheeled carriage has just been put on the market in the entire Jiannan Road, which has caused huge repercussions and unanimous praise from the market.
Ordinary people's homes naturally don't need horse-drawn carriages.
Those who need carriages, at least middle-class families.
Because horse-drawn carriages and carriages must not only have cars, but also horses, or at least oxen.
And the price of an ordinary carriage is more than four hundred dollars.
The price of the Zhonghua brand four-wheeled carriage launched by the China Commercial Bank is only 500 yuan.
And those ordinary carriages still use wooden wheels.
If you use rubber tires, the price is not 400 yuan, but a full 1,000 yuan.
The Zhonghua brand four-wheeled carriage launched by the Chinese Commercial Bank used four rubber tires.
Therefore, the Chinese brand four-wheeled carriage has just been put on the market, and it will sell like crazy immediately.
Those customers who want to change carriages or want to buy carriages, it goes without saying that they will definitely choose the Zhonghua brand four-wheeled carriage.
Even those who have good carriages at home are ready to change their carriages.
This commodity, what I'm afraid of is comparison.
As long as you have ridden the Zhonghua brand four-wheeled carriage once, you are almost reluctant to make those ordinary two-wheeled wooden wheeled carriages again.
Even a two-wheeled carriage with rubber tires is not good, and the two sides are not on the same level at all.
Riding in a four-wheeled carriage, you can hardly feel the bumps, and in terms of comfort, you can definitely throw off the distance of several streets from ordinary horse-drawn carriages.
As soon as the Zhonghua brand four-wheeled carriage came out, ordinary carriages could not be sold at all.
……
In Hangzhou, after the launch of the Zhonghua brand four-wheeled carriage, it also caused a sensation.
There is an endless stream of customers who come to buy products.
On the first day, they sold more than 800 cars.
The net profit of each car is about 150 yuan.
Therefore, the net profit of this day is 120,000 yuan.
Such a profit makes Qian Manguan happy to close his mouth.
However, they don't have so much inventory of these 800 cars.
They only produced a few dozen cars, and the rest were ordered by customers.
Now, their production capacity is far from keeping up with market demand.
Qian Manguan knew very well in his heart that they just had a time difference.
Other agents, up to now, have only just solved the problem of the factory.
It will probably take nearly a month before they are fully launched.
And how much they can profit this month depends on their production capacity.
As a result, Qian Slam once again summoned manpower and directly raised the salary.
Wages are directly linked to output, and the higher the output, the higher the wages.
Now, the most productive worker is paid exactly five times the usual wage!
The wages of the least one person are also three times that of the usual.
Under the stimulus of money, the enthusiasm of those workers was also thoroughly stimulated.
The production capacity of the factory suddenly increased to a terrifying output capable of producing more than five hundred vehicles per day.
In this way, demand still exceeds supply every day.
Ten days later, Qian Mangong's business was no longer limited to Hangzhou.
Those places around Hangzhou have come to Hangzhou to buy carriages.
This made the agents in those states very angry, and they went to Hangzhou to accuse Qian Manguan and angrily accuse him of not paying attention to business ethics.
Qian Manguan spread his hands and said very aggrievedly: "Everyone, everyone, I can't be blamed for this matter!" ”
"You see, my shop is only selling in Hangzhou! There is no crossing the line, no running to your territory to sell. ”
"As for you saying that customers from your state came to my Hangzhou to buy carriages, I really don't know about it!"
"Because customers come to buy cars, I can't always ask where they are first, right? That's what you say, guys? ”
"Well, but don't worry! I'm not an unreasonable person, so let's say hello to customers who come to buy a car in the future! As long as it's not my Hangzhou family, I won't sell my old money to him! ”
Hearing the words of the money slam, the agents in other states pouted.
I'd rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than believe in Lao Qian's broken mouth!
If Lao Qian really would do that, they would dare to write their surnames upside down.
But in this matter, although Lao Qian is not kind, but logically speaking, Lao Qian really can't be blamed.
The agents in the other states all held their breath, and after they returned, they immediately accelerated their speed, striving to produce the carriage a day earlier.
In this way, not only can they reduce the loss of old money, but at the same time, they can also pit those states around them, right?
Strive to recover as much as possible from the losses.
……
The Zhonghua brand four-wheeled carriage sold crazy all of a sudden, and the Lu family was stunned all of a sudden.
The Lu family is in the car and boat business, and the Lu family's carriage is famous all over the world.
Their carriages, with novel styles, excellent quality and good reputation, occupy seventy percent of the entire Datang carriage industry.
But now, in just half a month, their Lu family's carriage can't be sold all of a sudden.
Although in some states, because of transportation problems, until now, the headquarters of the China Commercial Bank has not even delivered tools.
But the newspaper that can't stand the Yizhou Monthly has already come, and the people know that the China Commercial Bank is going to launch a four-wheeled carriage, and the price is still very low, and the price of the ordinary version is only 500 yuan.
Therefore, those who want to change carriages are waiting.
Waiting for the four-wheeled carriage of the China Commercial Bank to be listed.
If China Commercial Bank does not adopt the method of cooperative agency, they want to occupy the entire Datang market, which is really not something that can be done overnight.
It will take at least five to ten years to do so.
Because they are bound to be troubled by production and transportation.
But now it's different, now they use the way of cooperative agency.
Although their profits are less, they are also less burdened and invested.
And, in this way, they will be able to capture the market in the fastest way.
In the past half a month, the Lu family's car and boat business has plummeted.
Not only the horse-drawn carriages, but also their wooden boat business was not as good as before.
The iron boats produced by the Chinese trading houses were not as popular as the four-wheeled carriages.
Because for iron ships, the people's ability to accept them will be discounted.
However, out of trust in the China Commercial Bank, or the low price, some people still bought the China brand iron ship.
In addition, it is easy to use, and it is stronger and lighter than a wooden boat.
