Chapter 856 Industrial Start
The sky was gloomy and the rain was pouring. No one wanted to go out in this kind of weather. Even Tang En huddled lazily on the sofa in the study, watching Fiona busy there, and occasionally heard her answering the phone (although it was said that It was a bit inappropriate to call it a telephone number, but for the convenience of readers, it was later written as a telephone number).
Although Tang En can interfere with the weather, the weather in the middle of the Harvest Moon is already relatively hot. In addition, the farmland has been harvested and the food has been put into the granary. Tang En did not interfere with the heavy rain and enjoyed listening to the sound of rain for a long time. It feels like that.
Tang En, who was huddled on the sofa by the window, stared out the window blankly. When he was on earth, he loved rainy days, listening to the sound of rain and singing, and feeling the quiet moment that belonged to him alone.
I just didn’t expect that it would be almost two years since I came to this world in the blink of an eye.
"Hilton called just now. Princess Alleria has reached an agreement with Byron, the director of the Royal Military Academy of Illus, and will start working on the school's renovation immediately."
Fiona glanced at Tang En. She didn't know why, but she always felt that the atmosphere around Tang En was a bit inexplicably isolated at this moment - as if she had been separated from the world.
"Um……"
Tang En responded and came back to his senses a little: "Not only the Royal Military Academy of Illus, but the next step is to build at least ten primary schools, middle schools, high schools, and at least four universities in Illus."
Fiona breathed a sigh of relief. After he spoke, the gray peeling feeling disappeared, as if the color had been restored again: "The preliminary plan has been handed over to Hilton. I believe she can handle this matter. I'd rather What I care about is the opening of schools in other areas..."
"Let's find a way to follow up. Education is a long-term and important task, and the inheritance of civilization depends entirely on schools."
Tang En stared at the dim and gloomy sky outside the window and said in a daze: "Life without experiencing school is incomplete..."
"oh……"
Fiona didn't know why he suddenly started to feel emotional again.
"The first phase of Harley motorcycle sales data has come out. A total of 20,000 Harley motorcycles have been sold nationwide. As of the statistics, this sales data is still accelerating."
Tang En was a little surprised: "In other words, Harley motorcycles alone have brought us 10 million gold coins in revenue? Are there so many rich people in the Illus Empire?"
A Harley-Davidson motorcycle sells for 500 gold coins. It’s hard to say whether it’s high or not, but at least 60% of families across the country cannot afford such a huge sum of money to buy one.
"The sales data at the beginning were indeed not good, but it may be because someone bought it and it caused a cascading effect, and the number of people buying it gradually increased."
After Fiona thought for a moment, she continued: "In addition, the main customers who buy Harley-Davidson motorcycles are the nobles. The price of five hundred gold coins is not high. Basically every family has purchased dozens or hundreds of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Some are for personal use, some are distributed to the guards hired by the family, and some even equip their servants with Harley-Davidson motorcycles in order to show their status."
Tang En couldn't help laughing: "It seems that I still underestimated their spending power."
Fiona also smiled: "That's true. According to market sales statistics, the most popular ones are the 'Pink Rose' and 'Green Field' series of motorcycles designed by Ariel, and the 'Harley' type The total sales volume is not as good as the other two models.”
"I can probably guess why."
Tang En shrugged and said with a smile: "It seems that no matter where they are, women are the absolute main consumer."
The shape design of the pink rose and green field is closer to that of a little sheep on the earth. It is very suitable for women and young people to ride. It has a large space and can carry some things, so it is very popular and has almost been sold out on the market. , now the Maneng Machinery Factory has adjusted its production structure and gradually increased the production capacity of those two products.
"Relying on the hot sales of motorcycles and the promotion of magic buses, the magic crystal market has begun to pick up, and people are gradually realizing the importance of magic crystals."
Having said this, Fiona's expression became serious: "In fact, some chambers of commerce have begun to buy magic crystals at low prices, and they have finally started to take action."
Almost all the products launched by the Datang Chamber of Commerce use magic crystals, and each product is very popular. This means that the originally relatively closed magic crystal consumer market has finally been opened, and the City of Silver is no longer a major consumer of magic crystals. , all residents who use Datang Chamber of Commerce products will become consumers of magic crystals.
This means that the magic crystal market will be an extremely huge market that cannot be completely monopolized.
The Chamber of Commerce with a keen sense of smell took the opportunity to follow up, and at least they could drink two sips of the soup. Those who came in later might not even be able to drink the soup. After all, the price of magic crystals has begun to rise, and the price of an inferior magic crystal has returned to eight gold coins. The level of twelve silver coins may soon return to the original level of ten gold coins.
"Should we take action against them?"
Those guys were like parasites clinging to the Datang Chamber of Commerce. Fiona hated this feeling and couldn't wait to drive them away.
"It's not necessary, just let them buy the bottom."
Tang En smiled casually and said: "Don't forget, the cutting standards of the magic crystals used in our products are in our hands. Tell them, 'Anyone who purchases or uses magic crystals sold by unauthorized dealers and causes damage to the goods will not be compensated.' That’s it.”
"Is this okay?"
"Of course it can be done. Don't underestimate the importance people attach to the 'official original authorization'."
Tang En didn't care much about the bargain-hunting behavior of those chambers of commerce. Rather, it was too late for Tang En to be happy when they finally discovered the Tang En Chamber of Commerce's plan.
The more people see the benefits in this, the more people will join this industry. As the standard authorization continues to increase, the underlying industrial chain required to produce various products has gradually taken shape. It is estimated that copycat products will be born soon.
Tang En is not afraid that they will have a latecomer advantage and steal his own market - after all, all the magic crystal mines in the Illus Empire are now in his hands, and there are incomparably rich reserves in the underground world. The Ren Empire All the potential mines are owned by him. As the top mine tyrant in Purandal, the magic crystals purchased by the Chamber of Commerce can be said to have been bought back from him. What is he afraid of?
His cost is always lower than the other party's.
As long as they dare to copycat, Tang En will dare to lower the price - only when competitors appear will he have reason to lower the price of his products to benefit more ordinary people.
Copying is the first step in innovation. They dare to copy the products of Datang Chamber of Commerce, which at least shows that they have the ability to produce products.
Once the underlying industrial chain is formed, the society will develop more rapidly. This is a process of accumulation, and the speed of development will become faster and faster until it finally explodes with unimaginable potential.
After more than a year of development, basic industries in various parts of Purandar have begun to develop in ignorance. The most obvious point is that with the various convenient tools launched by the Datang Chamber of Commerce, the mining industry is booming, and the ore industry is booming. The price has been falling continuously, and the price of pig iron has also dropped a lot. The originally precious iron is no longer the exclusive preserve of adventurers, but has entered the homes of ordinary people, and many families can use iron.
In addition, Purandal's industrial development has obviously been guided by the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce. To be precise, it has been influenced by Tang En. It is now developing in a strange direction - the basic industry starts from scratch without precipitation and brewing, and directly starts from scratch. Jumping to the first step, all the development processes in the middle are omitted.
Especially those chambers of commerce that were lucky enough to hire wild mages developed even faster.
Under Tang En's instruction, the Datang Chamber of Commerce intends to order a large number of basic spare parts from those chambers of commerce that develop industry, such as gears, transmission rods, screws, etc. However, some more sophisticated items can only be produced here in Ellington for the time being. , such as high-precision (relatively speaking) bearings, hydraulic rods, magic engines, etc.
Even so, orders from the Datang Chamber of Commerce still support many chambers of commerce. Many chambers of commerce have even given up on reselling goods and have instead found a fixed city to settle in to process spare parts. They have begun to rely on orders from the Datang Chamber of Commerce to survive. .
There is nothing wrong with this. Compared with the original dangerous business life, although the income now is less, it is safer and more stable.
"In addition, the framework of Datang Mobile Communications has been established. Stores have been opened in all major cities in the empire, and personnel recruitment and training have been initially completed. Now, excluding the magic mobile phones for our own use, there is still a small amount of goods in inventory. Do you want to sell it first and slowly?"
Fiona suddenly remembered this matter and hurriedly reported it to Tang En. She remembered that he attached great importance to this matter at the beginning.
"How much is in stock now?"
"There are about 5,000 units registered on the account sheet, and since they are for personal use, the products produced are all 'balance' models. The main reason is that the current production capacity is still not enough. After Ms. Justeza and the others have further mastered the technology, It is possible that production capacity will be increased further.”
Five thousand "Tianping" magic mobile phones...
Tang En pondered for a moment and said: "There are already hundreds of units in each city, and we can start selling them. However, before selling, we should follow the old rules and hold a press conference. At least let people know that Purandar has ushered in ushered in the era of wireless communications.”
Although she didn't understand what the wireless communication era meant, Fiona still wrote down this sentence.
"I understand, then let's set the time in three days. I need to make some preparations to warm up."
"You can make arrangements yourself."
Tang En looked at the gloomy sky outside the window. Is it an illusion?
It always feels like something is flying over.
"boom!"
The small red baby dragon hit the window with his head, and his whole face was flattened. He stared at the faint arcane radiance in Tang En's hand...
