Chapter 1084: The Battle for Transportation
PS: Halfway through the writing, the computer lost power, and I had to do it again, sad urging! Of course, it was late, sorry, sorry!
The completion of the Wanli Highway and the construction of light rail highways have made the transportation industry of the entire continent flourish. The first light rail railway in the imperial capital of Qiankun was put into operation, which also attracted countless transportation companies.
Of course, not all car dealers have the ability to establish a branch in the imperial capital. Most just come to see the transportation capacity of the light rail road. The ones that can really steal the business here, in addition to the local car dealers, are the big car dealers. And due to the full opening up of various countries, the big car dealers of other countries have long established branches here.
Two days before the opening of the light rail railway, major car dealers have taken action and shown their powers. Some are looking for relationships, and some are reducing prices to attract merchants to find themselves to transport goods.
Merchants are also fresh and brand new transportation, although it is more expensive, but as long as the speed is fast enough, the imperial capital is the center of the country, and the daily consumption of materials is huge. In particular, some foods that are easy to spoil have very high requirements for speed, and if you are slow for a day, you may have to throw things away.
And in the past two days, as long as the commercial houses going to the imperial capital meet, they will ask each other: "How is it, have you chosen a transportation company?"
"Of course you choose, you must choose Shuntong, they are time-honored, the transportation leader of the empire!
"We chose Moon Shadow's car dealership, and they provide unloading labor, so we don't have to go out ourselves, which is a lot of money!"
"We chose Xuanyuan Tianzong's fast transportation, which is a car shop that is bigger than Shuntong. I made a special inquiry, and the shipping price is two percent cheaper than Shuntong!"
"If you want me to say, don't choose Shuntong. Look at other car dealers, price reductions. Preferential offers on their original price for shipping. There aren't any offers yet. ”
"That's it, I think Shuntong is crazy about money. The price of light rail road transport is twice as expensive as road transport. That is, you still choose them!"
"Do you know why Shuntong didn't lower the price? I heard that in order to modify the carriage and buy horses, they borrowed a lot of money from Jufu Qianzhuang. Why don't you earn more and pay it back..."
While the merchants were discussing, the principals of the major car dealers came to the light rail station in the satellite city.
This is a very large area, 100,000 square meters. The extension of the light rail railway looks like a huge tree branch from a distance, with a dozen branches branching out on a main track, and there are small branches on the branches.
Since the light rail is point-to-point transportation, and there is only one main road. If there is a large influx of horse-drawn carriages, it will definitely cause congestion and chaos. In that case, not only will the light rail not work, but the entire road will be paralyzed.
In order to maximize the utilization rate of the light rail, it is necessary to have good scheduling and planning, which Jiang Xingchen told the second prince at the beginning of construction. The branch-like design of the source of the main road is designed to park the carriage in advance, so that the horse can enter the main road along the branch as long as the horse is attached, thus saving time.
Other than that. The second prince also arranged more than 500 special personnel here to be responsible for the time interval between the carriages entering the main road. And set up observation points along the way, in case there is a problem, it can also be solved in time.
When Jiang Xingchen told the second prince about this plan. He was stupid, he couldn't imagine that there was so much more to say about light rail transportation. But if you think about it, it's true. Failure to do so would cause congestion or confusion, and the light rail would be useless.
Right now. When the second prince saw so many car dealers coming here, he also felt more and more that Jiang Xingchen was prescient. Thankfully, it was prepared in advance. Otherwise, you will be caught blind now.
The purpose of the second prince to gather so many car dealers here is to distribute the branches of the main light rail road according to the size of the car dealers. There is only one main road, which must be allocated, so that the carriages of the big cart can be parked for a long time, otherwise it will also delay time. As for the cart shop, it is enough to leave two small branches.
The distribution proceeded very quickly, and the two largest branches were occupied by the largest, as soon as they arrived. Next up are the Moon Shadow Kingdom, the Great Qin Kingdom, and the car dealers of several other major kingdoms. The last thing left is for the retail investors of the car dealers.
After the distribution was completed, the second prince asked everyone to quickly mobilize the vehicles to park, and charged the relevant fees according to the vehicles.
Soon, the area was bustling with people and vehicles.
The owner of Crydom is very young, and it looks like he is in his thirties. While directing the vehicle to stop with his subordinates, he kept turning his head to look at the side of the Shuntong traffic line.
"Master, why doesn't the carriage of the Shuntong Carriage Company?" asked a thin middle-aged man beside him in a low voice.
Before the owner of Kuaida could speak, another teenager hurriedly replied: "There is no carriage, they won't just put it on the board, right?
Kuaida Dong smiled and nodded: "I really want to think of anything else besides this!"
"There must be more goods in this stack than in the carriage!Maybe that's why they don't have a discount, hahahaha..."
"Stacking the goods like this, they are not afraid of falling halfway!" The thin middle-aged man also joked.
"What's so scary, just tie it with a rope... But if it rains, they'll be miserable!" the boy laughed louder the more he spoke.
Kuaida and Shuntong occupy the two largest branches, which are not far away, and the young man is so loud that almost everyone in Shuntong hears it, and at the same time turns his head and glares angrily.
The owner of Kuaida hurriedly spoke: "I'm sorry everyone, the children are not sensible, they are open-mouthed, don't be surprised!"
He said that, but there was not a word to blame the boy. Of course, the people who were smooth were not happy, so someone replied: "Knowing that the child is open-mouthed, you don't care about it, so as to save people from saying that your tutor is not good!"
The young man's color changed suddenly when he heard this, and he said loudly: "Who do you say doesn't have a tutor!"
"Just say you, what's wrong! I said that you are for your own good, and I am afraid that you will be beaten to death in the future!"
The young man's face was flushed with anger, and he was about to pass by.
Kuaida Dong grabbed him, squinted his eyes and said coldly: "My child, I will educate myself! Thank you for the reminder! However, you still care about your own well-being, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay here for long!"
Shuntong Dongjia smiled indifferently and said: "I also thank Kuaida for your concern, I am still sure that I will mix here, I hope this sentence will not be fulfilled in you!"
When the words fell, the owner of Shuntong no longer paid attention to the other party, turned his head and continued to direct the work.
The thin middle-aged man next to the owner of Kuaida said coldly: "It's really unashamed, and I don't know who gave them confidence." Can't you see from the situation of soliciting customers in the past two days, how can any merchant choose them!"
The young man also calmed down at this time, frowned and said in a low voice: "This is the Qiankun Imperial Capital, they won't play any other means!"
"No!" the owner of Kuaida waved his hand and said, "The opening of the empire is the strategy of the Emperor Qiankun, if he excludes merchants from other countries, won't he slap himself in the face... After that, the trading houses of the empire still want to do business in other countries!"
"Yes!" The thin middle-aged man nodded and whispered, "I think they are just mouthful, and they are strong!"
Kuaida said with a smile: "Shuntong is now in debt, and everything has to be considered for money." Our funds are much more abundant, the same conditions, our prices are low, which merchant will choose them!"
"Hmph!" the young man sneered: "Even if our transportation is saturated, there are also the convoys of Moon Shadow, Great Qin, and the Eight Kingdoms, and the preferential policies are stronger than Shuntong, and it will not be their turn!
The thin middle-aged man laughed: "Squeeze out Shuntong first, and then squeeze out other countries, we can enter more vehicles..."
Kuaida Dong shook his head and interrupted him: "It's okay to squeeze Shuntong away, we don't have that much appetite." Don't forget, there are four satellite cities, how many vehicles do we have to station. We can't focus on the Qiankun Imperial Capital, if we are all offended, we will really be in trouble!"
"The head of the family is right!" The thin middle-aged man nodded vigorously: "There are more than 100 light rail highways in the mainland, there is no need to invest all your strength here." ”
On the other hand, the people who are in Shuntong are a little worried. As the leader of the transportation industry in the Qiankun Empire, they really didn't have to worry about business. But this time, many big car dealers competed, and there were no more than ten merchants who chose them, which really worried them.
"Owner, don't we really need to reduce the price?" a young man asked the owner of the Shuntong Train Shop in a low voice.
"No! it's a lot of money, it's a lot of money!" said the proprietor of Shuntong Motors in a categorical manner.
"But now there are no merchants looking for us! There are so many loans from car dealers, is it really feasible not to reduce prices?"
"If it can be done, we will see in ten days, if not, I will agree to reduce the price!"
The next day, under the personal auspices of the Emperor Qiankun, the light rail railway was officially opened. Countless horse-drawn carriages then poured into the LRT station. The four satellite city light rail stations in the imperial capital were crowded with people, horse-drawn carriages were crowded into piles, people unloaded goods from the horse-drawn carriages, and then loaded them onto the cars parked on the light rail, and some people were busy lassing the vehicles. The people shouted and the horses neighed in a mess, and it was almost as chaotic as a large bazaar.
And in the midst of this chaos, only the Shuntong car shop seems deserted.
Kuaida Dongjia has been looking at Shuntong's side, and the corners of his mouth have a smile, and the current situation is enough to explain the problem.
Other car dealers, and even those merchants, couldn't help laughing when they saw the situation on Shuntong's side.
At this moment, seven or eight more carriages came in from outside the station, each carriage had no carriage, and a large metal box was pulled on the board behind it.
Seeing these carriages, the owner of the Shuntong Carriage Company, who had always been gloomy, smiled. And the others are dumbfounded!(To be continued......)
