Chapter 29 Bicycles

Eder returned to Bucharest after inspecting Constanta, and on the way back to the palace he saw someone riding a straight car. Edel looked at the bicycle silently, and the head of the guard, Calust, stepped forward and asked. "Your Highness, do you need a bicycle?" Edel looked back at the chief of the guard. "No, I'm just thinking about something."

After returning to the palace, Edel called the guards and asked him to call Viscount Adri, as the head of the palace, Adri had a lot of things to do every day, but in the face of the crown prince's summons? Adri appeared in front of the crown prince in a few moments. "Your Highness doesn't know what to do with me?" The old steward asked Crown Prince Edel gently. "Do you have any business talent on your hands?" Edel told the old manager what he wanted.

"I don't know what kind of business talent His Highness needs." Chief Edri also tried to ask in detail, because the crown prince has always been generous, and half of the royal family's funds have been invested by him. "We need people who can promote new products and are bicycles." Eder must be able to promote business talents this time, unlike trucks that no one can compete for in their own market for a short time, this time they want to enter a market that is already fiercely competitive.

Viscount Edri pondered for a moment before speaking, "There is a talent in this area, but he is not very good-tempered. Edel thought to himself how much temper he could have. You can bring him to meet me. ”

The next day, Edri was dressed in a very denim style, in his thirties, and the most memorable thing was that his eyes were bright, giving people the feeling of having exhausted energy. "Your Highness, this is Bilsky, who was previously in charge of the Vladel bicycle factory in Russia, and beat up his boss in a quarrel with his boss because of his disagreement. His boss was a not-so-small aristocrat, so he couldn't stay in Russia any longer, so he came to us to do things. ”

Edel looked at the personality with considerable interest and asked, "Why do you beat people up when you quarrel?" The man, Bilski, replied loudly. Because he called me a Polish pig, I was so angry that I beat him. "So what's your business philosophy?" Edel asked. "To be a bike that everyone can buy, and let everyone use my stuff, even if it makes less money." No wonder he will have a conflict with his boss, which is very in line with the spirit of later generations, but it is too advanced, and it is estimated that few people can stand it now.

"Very good, I appreciate your philosophy." Edel was pleased with the man named Bilski, and looked at Edri as the manager. "That's him." "Wait a minute" When Eder agreed to this candidate, the crown prince only now saw the temper of this man of character. "Your Highness, you want me to do things for you, you need to promise me one condition." Bilski said seriously.

"Please." Eder raised his hand to signal the Bilski to continue, "In this factory, I have the final say, if you have any suggestions, I will consider but not necessarily accept. Eder smiled at the individual Bilski. I also have a condition that the profit of the factory should not be less than 10% per year. After a moment's thought, Bilski replied, "I agree." ”

"Then I agree."

"So how big does Your Highness plan to build a bicycle factory?" When asked how big a business he can manage, Edel smiles. "I'm going to invest £300,000 to produce 100,000 bikes a year, what do you think?" Bilski said energetically. "Your Highness, I will bring the current bicycle company to the ground."

"Bileski, I'll show you a picture of my own bicycle, and I'd like you to comment on it." Eder asked the guards to take out the sketch of the bicycle he had drawn the other day and put it in front of Bilerskey. If there are people from later generations at the scene, you can see that the sketch depicts a bicycle that was popular in an era, and 28 large bicycles. In his previous life, Edel remembered that when he was a child, his father rode a 28-year-old bicycle loaded with hundreds of catties of grain, and rode alone to the market to sell it. Moreover, it can go uphill and downhill, sturdy and not easy to damage, easy to maintain, and is the best choice for those who cannot afford to buy a car in this era.

Bileski asked after seeing the sketch of the crown prince. "Your Highness, you have a lot of sketches, I don't really understand, why the rear frame has two supports, it looks like this car is very heavy." Eder said to himself, I don't know, I'm not a bicycle. "Mr. Bilski's bicycle, I mainly think about the convenience of ordinary people's lives. The main frame and rim should be made of manganese steel, which can reduce wear. Since I drew it myself, I need you to build a few and try it out first. ”

Seeing that the crown prince seemed reluctant to talk about the bicycle, Bileski did not ask. Bilsky has a character, but he is not stupid, otherwise he would have beaten the Russian nobleman and died in prison.

"So what's this bike brand called?" Bilski now thinks about the brand problem in the future, so he asks the crown prince for the answer, if Eder doesn't think about it then he can do it for him. "In the future, this bicycle company will be called Permanent, and our bicycles will be called Perpetual brand bicycles." With that, Eder took out a pen and drew the famous logo. "In the future, we will have this logo on every bicycle."

Bilersky read the name Forever in his mouth, and it occurred to him that this name can imply the durability of the car for others, and it is also very important to guide the general public, and Bilersky thought that the concept of this bicycle company in the future is to be durable. This was also an asset to the people of the early twentieth century, and the sturdiness and durability of the people of Europe are expected today.

Eder and Bilski agreed that the plant would be built in Constanta, which would allow the use of the resources of the steel mill to reduce transportation consumption. Because bicycles are a labor-intensive enterprise, there are more than 1,000 workers, which is a large enterprise.

After Eder and Bilski finished talking, Chief of Guard Calust walked up to the crown prince, "I just got the news that a financial crisis has broken out in the United States. ”

PS Mantou is ashamed of the expectations of his parents and fellow villagers, and he wanted to rest and write more. But I overestimated my ability, I was really handicapped and wrote 6,000 words in one day, which was really fatal. The promise in the group is estimated to be fulfilled, and now the steamed buns are ashamed to say, everyone is good to recommend and collect, niche books are really difficult to check the information.
