Chapter 290: Taking advantage of the situation to promote
The news that the Datang Chamber of Commerce held an event to give away bicycles for free soon spread in Alink.
Bicycle? What's that?
I have never heard of bicycles, and the business alliance with a sensitive sense of smell naturally came up to watch it as soon as possible, and even sent people to hide in the team and get a bicycle as soon as they participated in the event.
When President Sidney and the others saw the power of the bicycle, they were all stunned.
"Whimsy! It's just a whimsy! β
Even though Sidney hates Don very much, he has to admit that the bicycle launched by the Datang Chamber of Commerce can simply change the entire society!
They are not stupid, although the bicycle is just a means of transportation, but the meaning behind it is too huge, and the way people travel will completely change in the future!
"That Don is an idiot!"
Baron Bilbohm sneered: "This kind of product that can change the world, he actually gave it away for free!" And it's only sold for ten gold coins! If it were me, this new product would be sold for a thousand gold coins! β
"You're wrong."
President Sidney looked cautious: "That's why your carriage business has been stagnant, while Don'e's Datang Chamber of Commerce has successfully risen. β
Bilbot was stunned: "What do you mean ......?"
"Every new thing that emerges will have a long promotion period, and if it is allowed to develop freely, this promotion period will be very long."
President Sidney said in a deep voice, "But last time we all knew, Don was very arrogant. Very ambitious people! Bicycles can change the world, and what he wants to do is probably make his name go down in history. Therefore, he will try to shorten the promotion cycle as much as possible, and the cheap sales price is undoubtedly the best way to promote. β
President Sidney rubbed the bicycle, carefully observed the precise bearing structure, and said with a look of amazement: "Look at these components, what a precise and ingenious design, just the craftsmanship of this part." It's worth ten gold coins, Baron Bilbohm, if all the carriages in your carriage shop are retrofitted with these parts. Have you ever wondered how much your wagon speed will increase? β
Bilbohm thought about it carefully, and his face changed in an instant.
"More than that, there's so much to reveal on the bike, look at this soft and bouncy material. How is it processed? Where did you get it? And here. Who would have thought of such an ingenious design for this shock absorber called 'Spring'? β
President Sidney said in a deep voice: "All of us underestimate the potential of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, they hide many powerful and unknown technologies! β
The surroundings were silent for a while, and everyone didn't expect that the Datang Chamber of Commerce, which was fiercely ridiculed by them at the beginning, and even blocked by them, had unknowingly become a powerful chamber of commerce that was not weaker than any of them!
And what about Don at the moment. With a smile on his face, he watched more and more people happily ride their bicycles, twisting and turning around to practice their riding skills in the open space isolated next to them.
Something. Once you start, you can't stop anymore.
I hope that the world can change faster than riding a bicycle.
Fiona next to her carefully observed the expressions and mannerisms of those people after obtaining the bicycle, carefully recorded them, and then analyzed useful information from them.
Fiona breathed a sigh of relief, so far, the lord's plan is going very well, because it can be obtained for free, so people are very quick to accept this strange means of transportation, once these people start to get used to using bicycles to travel, then soon a phenomenal trend will form, and more people will join in and start to master this new type of transportation.
When people get used to bicycles, the introduction of more convenient magic bikes will definitely lead the trend again.
"Your Highness the Princess."
"Baron Donne."
Princess Aurelia retracted her gaze and said casually, "Shouldn't you thank me?" β
"If Her Highness the Princess wants to, of course you can."
Tang En stretched out his hands: "I just don't know what Her Royal Highness the princess wants?" Magic Air Conditioner? Or a refrigerator? β
In fact, Princess Aurelia did owe the fact that she had gone so well today, and if she hadn't participated in the event and tried cycling, the others wouldn't have been so actively enjoying it.
I participated in the same show as Her Royal Highness Princess Aurelia and won the same prizes - which is already an honorable experience for many ordinary people to show off in their lives.
Princess Aurelia longs to bite Don to death, but now she has to maintain the demeanor of a princess, which makes her extremely aggrieved.
After seeing Donne's attitude, Princess Aurelia smiled slightly, and said casually: "We have already used the air conditioner and refrigerator, I think this bicycle is very good, Baron Donne, if you want to thank me, why don't you give me a few thousand to use?" β
"Okay."
"Of course I know you're not going to agreeβhuh!?"
Princess Aurelia suddenly froze, with an incredulous expression: "What did you say?" β
"I said yes."
Tang En nodded: "The current production capacity has not been improved, the production line is still in preparation, I will send you 5,000 vehicles for use first, and how about sending you 5,000 vehicles after a while?" β
Fiona's hand clicked and the tip of the pen snapped in two, noticing the sight of the others, she said casually, "Sorry, my hand slipped." β
With that, Fiona casually walked up behind Donn, pretending to take a pen, but pinched him hard.
You can't wake him up if you don't wake him up!
Because he's starting to go crazy again!
Although the events in the past few days are also free of charge, the brand effect brought by them - so to speak - and the accompanying market effect are enough to pay for themselves, and not many vehicles are given away, and the cost of the event is not high.
But Donn's mouth is good, and he will give away 10,000 bicycles with a big mouth!
Even if the cost price of each bicycle is calculated, it is nearly 50,000 gold coins!
Even if you want to curry favor with the royal family, you must at least charge a cost price!
Otherwise, every day you will lose money and make money, and it won't be long before the people of Ellington will drink the northwest wind!
"I'm sorry, Baron Donn, I don't seem to have woken up yet......"
"No, you heard it right, I mean I'm going to give you 10,000 bikes."
Tang En ignored Fiona's fire-breathing eyes behind him, and said with a smile: "And when the production line is in place, the promise will be fulfilled soon, and it should be regarded as a thank you to Her Royal Highness the Princess." β
All right!
Fiona looked at Princess Aurelia sourly, feeling that this guy was trying to please Princess Aurelia.
Hmph, she's a princess anyway, she's tall anyway, and she's not as attractive as her anyway!
As the saying goes, people in love have zero IQ, and if Fiona can calm down and look at things objectively, she will be able to find that Donne's actions are actually to quickly achieve the goal of creating a market with the help of royal means.
It's a pity that the girl in her crush is always blind, and she now only thinks that Don is deliberately trying to please Princess Aurelia.
And Princess Aurelia ...... I was really stunned.
She's not stupid, and Don isn't the one who can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman - otherwise he wouldn't have treated Nightsong like that in the first place - so why would he give him 10,000 bicycles?
Just to please yourself? What are you kidding, the devil will believe it.
What is his purpose?
After thinking calmly for a while, Princess Aurelia frowned: "Baron Donne, what are your conditions?" β
Tang En teased: "I thought that Her Royal Highness would immediately accept my kindness happily." β
Aurelia stared at him without saying a word.
"Okay, okay."
Don was helpless and raised his hand in surrender: "I confess, in fact, I want to use the means of the royal family to quickly promote bicycles, I hope to promote green travel activities, so that the municipal personnel in the town can stop using horse-drawn carriages and use bicycles when they go out, and at the same time, they will also equip postmen with bicycles to improve the delivery speed of letters." β
Princess Aurelia frowned at first, then after thinking for a moment, she stretched her brows and nodded, "It's a good idea." β
If all the municipal personnel replace their bicycles, it will inevitably reduce the activity of many horse-drawn carriages, the consumption of forage will be greatly reduced, more forage will be saved for possible war, and the carriage travel will be reduced, and the excretion of excrement will be reduced, and the streets will be cleaner, this green travel activity is indeed feasible.
On the postman's side, the imperial government is not rich enough to equip all postmen with horses, so postmen deliver letters on their feet, and if they are equipped with bicycles, the delivery efficiency will definitely increase exponentially, and the speed of message transmission between ordinary people has also been greatly accelerated, and the benefits are immeasurable.
Tang En said heartily: "These 10,000 bicycles are the Datang Chamber of Commerce...... Uh, or Ellington, we don't charge any fees for the patronage of the Imperial Family, and trust me sincerely. β
"Then the Datang Chamber of Commerce can also get an advertising effect and expand the market rapidly, right?"
Don was impressed by Aurelia: "You still know advertising? β
"Hilton told me."
Tang En was stunned: "You met her later?" β
Aurelia's heart tightened, and she said casually, "What's wrong?" No way? β
"Oh, that's not ......"
Don said with a smile: "As you said, sponsor the royal family, replace a large number of bicycles, make bicycles a social phenomenon, we will harvest a huge market, the cost of these 10,000 bicycles, will soon be recovered, this is a win-win, I hope we have a happy cooperation." β
Aurelia said coldly, "Forget it." β
A smile froze on Donn's face.
What does this woman mean when she suddenly changes her face? (To be continued.) )
