"Why are there so many types of magical locomotives on display at once?"

While the reception lady was answering the questions of the guests, Xu Yi was also answering all kinds of questions, but the people he was facing were reporters sent by various newspapers.

It has been more than half a year since the last Xinfei Chamber of Commerce held a product conference, and today's product conference has made the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce a week in advance, which shows that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce attaches great importance to this product conference, and naturally it has also attracted the attention of countless newspapers in Bangta City and many surrounding cities.

And after a large number of reporters came to this product launch today, they immediately found that this time they came very worthwhile.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually changed the practice of only releasing a single product at the previous product launch conference, but actually directly held a huge new product exhibition in one go, showing nearly ten new products to everyone.

Although the theme of this product launch conference is magic locomotives, and all these nearly ten new products can be regarded as one of the magic locomotives, but seeing so many types of magic locomotives at one time, whether they are different in appearance, use and function, still makes everyone feel extremely shocked.

In particular, the magic locomotive placed in the center of the venue, which was named Xu Yi's magic car, attracted everyone's attention.

These reporters are far from being able to compare with ordinary people, and naturally they can see at a glance that although the price of this magic car is high, it just satisfies the inner superiority of those nobles and big businessmen.

If the price is too low, I am afraid that it will not attract the attention of the aristocrats and big businessmen who came to participate in this product launch as it is now.

And this magic sedan is so good in terms of appearance, performance and comfort that it can even be called a work of art. Therefore, it is only natural that it will be welcomed.

However, compared to the shock brought by these different kinds of magic locomotives, the reporters are more concerned about the issues. But why did the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce launch so many new types of magic locomotives in one go at this product launch conference?

This is in line with the previous practice of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and it is also similar to Xu Yi's often "eat the rice one bite at a time." The road has to be taken step by step", which does not quite match.

"Why?" Xu Yi's gaze swept over the faces of the reporters in the audience, and he smiled slightly. "Because I know a lot about this product launch, I tell everyone a fact. That is, there is a lot of room for the development of magic locomotives, and there are many types that can be developed, far from just the medium-sized freight magic locomotive and the medium-sized passenger magic locomotive launched by our chamber of commerce. ”

The reporters in the audience nodded in unison.

Indeed, before participating in this product conference, everyone's perception of magic locomotives was only the two magic locomotives launched by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before, and now there are so many new magic locomotives seen at this press conference. Especially after seeing the magic car, everyone suddenly realized that the magic locomotive does have countless possibilities.

It can be said that because of the display of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at this product launch conference, everyone seems to have been greatly broadened at once.

From the magic locomotives on display at this press conference, people can even think of more types of magic locomotives.

"That's right. In the future, of course, our chamber of commerce will launch more types and more useful magic locomotives. It will also further improve the quality and performance of the existing magic locomotives. ”

Xu Yi nodded, confirming everyone's guesses.

"For example, on this magic car. We have used the latest alloy steel, which makes this magic car more impact-resistant and deformation-resistant. So don't look at this magic sedan that is much smaller than a medium-sized passenger magic locomotive, but sit in it. The safety performance is not bad at all, and there is no need to worry about fatal injuries due to impact. At the very least, it's much safer than riding in a carriage. ”

The reporters in the audience looked at each other. Suddenly, a reporter raised his hand and asked in a loud voice, "President Xu, I heard that you have always looked down on carriages. Is this true?"

Xu Yi glanced at him and recognized the reporter as a reporter for a newly popped tabloid newspaper specializing in lace news in the city of Bangta. He shook his head and said, "This statement is not accurate. To be precise, I look down on the performance of the carriage, not on the carriage itself. ”

All the reporters in the audience were stunned: "Is there any difference here?"

"Absolutely. Xu Yi said with a smile. "I look down on the performance of the carriage because it does not satisfy me in terms of safety, comfort and, most importantly, speed. Compared to the magic locomotive, the horse-drawn carriage is far inferior in every way. Do you think that since we have already developed a magic locomotive, why can't I look down on the performance of the carriage?"

"President Xu, can I think that you are deliberately showing such an attitude in order to promote the magic locomotive of your Chamber of Commerce?" the reporter asked.

Xu Yi glanced at him, couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hands and asked, "What do you think...... Do I need to sell the magic locomotive so hard?"

Seeing the stares of fellow reporters around him as if they were seeing idiots, the tabloid reporter suddenly realized how stupid he was in this question.

Xu Yi is not wrong at all, he doesn't need to sell magic locomotives so hard, or even at all, because after seeing that magic locomotives far exceed the performance of horse-drawn carriages, the magic locomotives of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are now extremely sought after in Bangta City and other cities in the Kingdom of Lampari.

The magic locomotive currently produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is far from meeting the demand, making the magic locomotive production plant of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce always the factory with the longest overtime time in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

And even so, it is said that the current orders for magic locomotives received by the New Flying Chamber are still countless times higher than their production, and it is even said that they have been scheduled for the following year.

In this case, does Xu Yi still need to make a special statement to play any sales?

You know, now people who want to buy magic locomotives are begging the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to sell it to them, not the New Flying Chamber of Commerce taking the initiative to ask others to buy it.

Seeing that the reporter stopped talking. Xu Yi smiled and continued: "Okay, since you asked this question. So I would like to take this opportunity to share my views in detail. ”

The reporters in the audience were suddenly shocked. looked at Xu Yi intently.

"As I said earlier, I look down on the performance of the carriage, because compared to the magic locomotive, the performance of the carriage is far inferior in all aspects, and it can no longer meet people's needs. Among them, the most important point is that it cannot meet the huge transportation demand now. ”

Xu Yi paused and pointed to the large freight magic locomotive at the gate of the venue.

"You see, the standard load capacity of this large freight magic locomotive is ten tons. And if it's a horse-drawn carriage. Even the largest carriage before the Fillson Carriage and Horse Company, which was pulled by eight horses, had a maximum carrying capacity of no more than three tons, and the maximum could not reach four tons. ”

"That's not that bad, it's completely unacceptable. A journalist retorted.

"Really?" Xu Yi smiled slightly. "You forget two very important issues, one is the cost of inputs, and the other is the cost of maintaining operations. ”

"Oh, please elaborate on that. ”

"First, let's talk about input costs. Do you know how much the large wagon of the Filson carriage cost to be made? In order to be able to withstand a heavy enough cargo, the most durable materials were selected, and the result was that the cost of the whole vehicle was as high as 3,000 gold coins. ”

"But the price of your large freight magic locomotive is five thousand gold, which is much higher than that large freight carriage. Another reporter shouted.

"Have you forgotten those eight horses?" Xu Yi immediately asked.

The reporter was stunned.

"A horse that can tow three or four tons of cargo. The best steed, of course. Therefore, Filson spent a full 5,000 gold coins on the purchase of these eight horses alone. So to sum up, the cost of this large wagon totaled as high as 8,000 gold coins. ”

The journalists looked at each other and had nothing to say.

Xu Yi took out all the real numbers. So that they have no way to refute it at all.

"With input costs out of the way, let's talk about the expenses to maintain operations. Xu also continued. "According to the number I received from President Pompei, it is indicated. If you wanted to use the large wagon, it would cost you a minimum of twenty gold coins per day to feed the eight horses. And the cost of repairing and maintaining the large wagon itself. It is as high as 2,000 gold coins per year, and on average, it is more than 50 gold coins per day. To sum up, in order to use this large wagon, you need to spend at least seventy gold coins per day. The farther you run, the more you consume. ”

"Then President Xu, how much gold does your large freight magic locomotive need to consume every day?" the reporter in the audience immediately asked.

"The normal consumption of this large freight magic locomotive also has two parts, one of which is also daily maintenance, with the current maintenance standards set by our Chamber of Commerce, if there is no major accident, under normal circumstances, the annual maintenance cost of this large freight magic locomotive is about three hundred to five hundred gold coins. ”

"So little?" the reporters were a little incredulous. "Isn't that an average of about one gold coin a day?"

"That's a lot. Xu Yi shook his head. "If we make a new breakthrough in the technology of magic locomotives in the future, the maintenance cost will be further reduced. ”

"And what about the other part of the cost? The horses of the carriage have to eat grass, and you freight magic locomotive can't run without needing anything, right?" asked another reporter.

"Of course, if you want the horses to run, you have to let them graze. As you all know, the Magic Locomotive is powered by the consumption of Magic Crystals. Then this large freight magic locomotive naturally does not distinguish him, and it also consumes magic crystals. According to the standard of our chamber of commerce's internal testing, the average consumption of this large freight mana locomotive per 100 kilometers under normal travel speed is thirteen adolescence mana, and if the No. 1 standard mana crystal recently refined by our chamber of commerce is adopted, the total price is thirteen gold coins. ”

"That is to say, if you pull ten tons of cargo and run a hundred kilometers, it only costs thirteen gold coins?" The reporters in the audience looked incredulous.

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "There is another very important factor, and that is speed. With a normal load of ten tons of cargo, this large freight magic locomotive can maintain a speed of 40 kilometers per hour on a normal road. What about the carriage?"

The reporters looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

Horse-drawn carriages, not to mention dragging 10 tons of goods, even if they run empty, they can only run 30 kilometers in an hour.

Seeing the reaction of the reporters in the audience, Xu Yi spread his hands: "Now, you sue me, why can't I look down on the carriage?"

The reporters laughed in unison.

A moment later, the tabloid reporter suddenly raised his hand again.

"President Xu, I've asked you a few questions about the magic locomotive. Now I have a personal question about you that I would like to take this opportunity to ask you, about your newborn daughter, would you like to answer it?"

The other reporters frowned at him, and their eyes couldn't help but have a hint of contempt.

This is the product launch conference of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, what personal questions do you come to ask?

However, when they heard the question about Xu Yi's newly-born daughter, all the reporters looked at Xu Yi with a fixed expression, and turned their heads to look at Xu Yi together, their eyes full of anticipation.

"Sure enough, it came. Xu Yi showed a knowing smile and nodded slightly. "I'm in a good mood today, so I can. Excuse me. ”

"That's good. President Xu, I heard that you directly identified your daughter as your sole heir on the day she was born, is this true?" (To be continued......)
