Take the mall to Datang

After everyone left, Yuan Shan also asked Liang Ming to count the situation of the shipbuilder.

I met two groups of people in one day, and I haven't finished the work of the Economic Development Department today. In the next time, he decided to read some progress reports that he hadn't seen yet.

It seems that after a long time, I found out that although the construction progress of the train project has improved, the production of the rails is still a hard target. On the other hand, a letter from the window factory in Cangzhou said that the construction of the treasure ship has begun, and the steam power will be installed on a 30-meter-long ship. on board.

Although the hull is not too long, the meaning of this ship is completely different after having steam power.

"Yuan Pushe, Zheng Qi, the chairman of the Cotton Chamber of Commerce, is visiting." Liang Ming walked in and said.

"What's the matter today? Why are there so many people here?" Yuan Shan felt a little helpless, so he could only put down the report in his hand and go out to meet the guests.

Chapter 612 Test Drive Plan

"Brother Zheng, why are you here?" Yuan Shan said casually.

"Yuan Pushe is being polite, Mr. Zheng came here to discuss the matter of bicycles." Zheng Qi said.

"If you have something to say, just talk about it. You don't have to be polite about things related to business." Yuan Shan said.

"I heard that Yuanpushe has recently produced a lot of three-wheeled bicycles. Mr. Zheng wonders if we can do this project with our Zhengjia Bicycle Factory. As long as the price does not make us more profitable." Zheng Qi said.

Three-wheeled bicycles. After the promulgation of traffic regulations, this type of bicycles began to increase. Zheng Qi suddenly found that this is a big deal. After investigation, he found that the demand for three-wheeled trucks is greater than that of two-wheeled bicycles. .

"Oh, President Zheng wants to do this business, so he can give birth even if he doesn't hire his own official." Yuan Shan said.

"This is indeed the case, but Mr. Zheng still has to consider the overall situation when doing things. He can't drink water and forgets the well digger. This is not what Mr. Zheng is like." Zheng Qi said.

Yuan Shanxin didn't mean to let the Ministry of Economic Development become the orderer, and the three-wheeled bicycles he produced would make a lot of money.

"Three-wheeled bicycles are currently mainly used in Lantian centralized warehouses. Since Chairman Zheng can't grasp the sales volume, let's try to sell a few of them first." Yuan Shan said.

"Yuan Pushe, as long as the Ministry of Economic Development can customize three-wheeled bicycles, Zheng promises to ship them at [-]% off the market price." Zheng Qi said bluntly.

"A [-]% discount, Chairman Zheng is really generous, this is really too sincere." Yuan Shan said.

"Then what does Yuan Pu shoot mean?" Zheng Qi said.

"It's good to book a thousand cars." Yuan Shan said.

Zheng Qi was happy, but Yuan Shan suddenly said: "There must be no problem with [-] tricycles, and even [-] can be ordered, but the payment needs to be paid in installments, and the repayment period needs to be set from one year later. Knowing that the repayment will be paid in three years, and the payment cannot be called during the repayment period, if the order can be placed, the Economic Development Department can place the order now."

Zheng Qi was dumbfounded when he heard it, and the meaning was very clear and simple: the payment for the goods will be paid off after three years, and the installment payment needs to start from the second year. This is definitely the most deferred payment.

Yuan Shan has no choice but to let the Ministry of Economic Development be short of money, but after having a tricycle, it can be applied to the train project immediately. After increasing the transport capacity, the progress will be doubled. Saving time means saving investment.

However, for custom-made three-wheeled bicycles, Yuanjia can actually complete them alone. It’s just that the people in Yuanji Workshop have been devoting all their efforts to building locomotives recently, so the output of three-wheeled bicycles is not high, but the profit is still a bit.

"Well, [-] cars is [-] cars, but the payment for the goods must be paid first, and the other money can be paid together in two years." Zheng Qi gritted his teeth and made up his mind. Compared with the normal daily sales, this is still the case. Sexual orders are more reliable, and with a contract in hand, you are not afraid of bad debts from the Ministry of Economics and Development, but you still need to bargain to do business.

Let’s collect the cost first, at least the project will not be stuck on the cost, so that there will be less loss of benefits, and the full payment will be made at least one year earlier after two years.

Yuan Shan didn't agree immediately. He thought about the locomotive project. According to the current situation, the construction period would last at least three years, or even five years. However, the railway has already been built in Lantian County, and it won't take long for the first section of the plan to be completed. , At least two years can be close to Sichuan. In this way, part of the cost should be recovered first. Although there is also some pressure, it is not a big problem after all.

"Okay, then it's settled like this, but the quality and production speed of the three-wheeled bicycle must be guaranteed." Yuan Shan said.

If the construction period gets lost next year, it will be the Ministry of Economic Development, so after bargaining, the repayment period has been extended to three months, that is, two years and three months.

These three months are actually the time for the production of tricycles. Yuan Shan knows the output of Zheng's bicycle production line very well, so he brought it up.

Now Zheng Qi is very prosperous. Not only has he returned his capital, but the current bicycle sales are also very good. His purpose is to make the Zheng family go further, so a large order is what he needs.

With the project, his Zheng family will not be short of money in the next two years.

After Zheng Qi achieved his goal, he left to prepare for the signing of the contract.

On behalf of the Ministry of Economic Development, Yuan Shan hurriedly summoned several core members to come back for a meeting to discuss the next application of tricycles.

As a result, most of the applications of tricycles were allocated to the railways to assist in the transportation of goods, and the main transportation capacity was still relying on horse-drawn carriages. After all, the cargo capacity of bicycles was not as much as that of horse-drawn carriages.

After the agreement, Yu Jingming said: "Yuan Pushe is really good, and he can think of using a three-wheeled bicycle to solve the shortage of freight."

Ma Zhou suddenly said, "But isn't three thousand vehicles a bit much?"

"Almost half of these tricycles will be put into the construction of the railway project, and the other group will be used as the main tool for transporting goods in the city, which can reduce the city's dependence on horse-drawn carriages, so that more horse-drawn carriages can be dispatched to the railway project After all, carriages are the main capacity." Yuan Shan explained.

"Okay, since everyone has no opinion, let's do it like this." Yuan Shan said.

The next day Yuan Shan found a few carriages and sent Gao Biaoren and others out of Chang'an City to Cangzhou. These carriages were all from the Yuan family's convoy, thinking that other convoys simply had no time.

This is the real situation of the current transportation capacity, so people who own the fleet are now smiling every day, because the horse-drawn carriage can make them money every day.

The sixth year of Zhenguan is coming to the end of the year. This year, people's lives in Datang gradually improved. Especially after the curfew in Chang'an City was shortened, they were happy to do business. The transaction volume increased obviously, saving the time of the merchants. Furthermore, the income in Pingkang Square has doubled.

The locomotive project is still the top priority of Changan Chen, but after the winter, all railway construction has stopped, the workers have been dismissed, and only the construction team is left to build some necessary facilities, such as the station with a good foundation.

At this time, the railway has been built to Lantian County, and a station in Lantian County has also been set up, but the actual construction level has crossed the blue sky and went straight to Sichuan.

As for the locomotive, it is currently being debugged. Under Li Shimin's attention, the new year gift for the seventh year of Zhenguan is the test run of the train.

For this reason, Yuan Shan had to betray and release some fireworks to add to the fun. This was Li Shimin's suggestion. After bargaining, Yuan Shan could only agree, but there were only fifty fireworks.

This scene of release may not even have one-tenth of the effect of Changsun Manor, but it is still possible to use force to add to the fun, and also added a thousand-ring firecrackers to make up for it.

Chapter 613 Seven Years of Zhenguan

On the first day of the seventh year of Zhenguan, a large number of people gathered in the southwest of Chang'an early in the morning.

Newcomers must be able to see a new gate archway in the middle of the huge venue, with a few words written on it - Chang'an Railway Station.

People stopped to watch, and the things they saw here were very strange. Some curious people passed through the gate and continued to move forward, and then they saw a very large building, which was blocked by a fence outside, and there were people holding the handle at the entrance. .

The small pavilion next to it also has the three big characters of the ticket office written on it. There are as many as ten such pavilions in a row. Each small pavilion is made of a wooden structure. ... until the tenth number.

The building is a building with a height of three floors. The foundation is made of bricks and stones, while the whole of the attic is indeed a wooden building. The roof of the house is also covered with glazed tiles. This kind of tiles fired at high temperature with clay has various colors. , which makes people look very pleasing to the eye and also shows style.

The words "Chang'an Railway Station" are also written on the loft mountain, which is larger than the words on the door archway, and almost everyone who enters the vicinity of the station can see it.

"Look at the many people over there." Some people asked curiously.

Walking over, I saw a group of people surrounded by a wall, and the people behind asked, "What is there to see in front?"

"Look at the train, there are glazed pieces on the wall here, so you can see what's going on inside." Someone replied.

When the people behind heard that they could see the train that had been rumored for a long time, they squeezed harder from behind.

This group of people couldn't stop at all, and they dispersed until people from the Jinwu Guard came to maintain order.

"Spread out, those who want to watch the train go to the side to line up first, and those who finish watching leave from the side." The soldiers of the Jinwu Guard came over.
