Chapter 58 Choose Phoenix, Fly Against the Wind
Convincing Zhuo Jiqi was already in Rorschach's plan.

Therefore, after going to the law firm and signing the contract, Rorschach took Zhuo Jiqi to a red brick wall factory in the Saint-Denis Industrial Zone.

At the gate of the factory, a middle-aged man leaning against the wall and smoking a cigarette, his eyes lit up when he saw the two of them.

Throwing away the cigarette, he immediately greeted him: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Anos?"

"It's me, let's get started!"

"Okay, please come with me..."

Following behind the man, Zhuojiqi was a little puzzled when he heard the man introduce himself the information about the factory's equipment and the number of workers, and looked at Rorschach beside him:

"Where is this place?"

"Our factory!"

Rebuilding a bicycle factory is time-consuming and costly. It is more convenient and effective to directly acquire a small factory that is on the verge of bankruptcy and receive the workers and equipment from the factory.

It will not be too late to set up a factory in Valentine after the first bicycle production line is stabilized.

And this rubber processing factory is exactly the acquisition target that Rorschach has taken a fancy to in advance!

Bicycle tires need rubber anyway, just so they fit seamlessly.

Due to the difficulty in cash flow, the factory owner is almost unable to pay the workers' salaries, and urgently needs to sell the factory.

Therefore, the final transaction price of the factory is very cost-effective.

With just $30, Rorschach took over this rubber processing factory with an area of ​​[-] square meters and more than [-] workers.

Of course, buying a factory is only the first step.

The next step is to transform the factory!
And this task is left to professionals.

In three days, Zhuojiqi took the workers to clean up some unnecessary equipment, bought some new machine tools, and transformed the entire factory into a bicycle factory.

During the whole process, Zhuo Jiqi looked extremely excited, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Apparently, he finally realized the ease of giving free play to his talents, and the ease of not having to worry about money!
For so long, no one recognized his talent, nor did he think he could do anything to change the world.

Until Rorschach shows up!

This man, like a messenger sent by God, rescued him from the trough of life.

Thinking of this, Marko Zhuojic couldn't help being more grateful for Rorschach's actions.

And he did not disappoint Rorschach.

Say three days, is three days!

When Rorschach saw the first freshly baked Phoenix bicycle, a feeling of both familiarity and strangeness arose spontaneously.

This Phoenix brand bicycle, born in 1899, is not exactly the same as the bicycle in his memory, but roughly the same.

What makes Rorschach more satisfied is the performance of this bike.

After a few days of experiments and comparisons, the Phoenix brand bicycles have surpassed all bicycles currently on the market in terms of load capacity and handling.

That's right, all of them!
In addition to performance, the appearance is also unique.

Moreover, under Rorschach's proposal, the main components of each bicycle can be disassembled and assembled by themselves to facilitate future transportation.

After the product is manufactured, what needs to be considered is how to sell the product to customers.

Rorschach had long thought that bicycles, a means of transportation, were destined not to be suitable for the bad road conditions in towns, but only for cities with flat roads.

And the market they are targeting must be the big cities on the east coast of the United States.

So, after the first batch of bicycle samples came out, Rorschach brought Zhuo Jiqi and three temporarily hired bicycle factory salesmen, took the train, and came to New York, the largest city on the east coast of the United States!
. . .

In 1899, New York was already one of the largest metropolises in the world.

More than 500 million people live in this city on the banks of the Hudson River, which is the heart of the United States!
Compared with New York, Saint-Denis is simply a backward small town.

Broadway, Ninth Avenue, Manhattan Bridge…

The high-rise buildings next to Madison Square Garden are particularly impressive.

Standing on Fifth Avenue in New York, which will become world-famous in the future, Rorschach's eyes sparkled with excitement as he watched the men and women in formal suits and the endless stream of carriages.

Zhuojiqi at the side took out a white handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and finally couldn't help asking his inner doubts:
"Mr. Arnos, what are we doing in New York?"

Hearing this, Rorschach turned around, opened his arms suddenly, and looked at this genius scientist with a bright face:
"Change the world, as you say!"

Letting Tianchao brand bicycles run on the roads of New York, USA, is also a kind of world-changing move, isn't it? !

After walking around in New York City, Rorschach finally chose to rent a small store in the busy West Street of New York.

Then, go to apply for a business license, find a construction company and other procedures...

Only three days later, the "Phoenix Bicycle New York Office" was officially opened for business!
After finishing the storefront, Rorschach went to the model company, hired eight handsome men and beautiful women, and then taught the eight models how to ride a bicycle.

Then, is the most critical step, publicity!

The next day, Rorschach paid for an ad in the New York Times ad space.

Above is a beautiful illustration of a man and a woman in formal suits riding a Phoenix bicycle on the road.

On the illustration, there is also an advertisement for Phoenix brand bicycles - "Choose Phoenix, fly against the wind!"

At the same time, there was a remarkable scene in the West Street of New York:
I saw four tall male models in suits, riding a black bicycle, lined up in two formations, driving on a flat and wide road.

On the back seat of the bicycle, a beautiful female model sat sideways, waving a flag in her hand.

On the promotional flag swaying in the wind, there are advertisements for Phoenix brand bicycles and the address of the office.

The people of New York are always at the forefront of the times.

They have even seen steaming four-wheeled vehicles, let alone bicycles.

However, they have never seen such a beautiful bicycle.

Moreover, this bicycle can actually carry people!
This bicycle team drove in various bustling areas of New York, surpassing horse-drawn carriages and attracting countless eyes.

Passers-by who were curious about this bicycle spontaneously followed behind the bicycle and asked about the situation of this bicycle.

Not only that, someone also found that the "New York Times" in his hand also published an advertisement for this bicycle,

The slogan "Choose Phoenix, fly against the wind" was catchy and quickly spread throughout New York.

Many newspapers have reported the advantages of this new bike.

Of course, there are also media that charge money to do things.

Under the double bombardment of advertisements and material promotions, a long queue soon formed in front of the office.

Orders, like wings, flew into the office continuously!
