Chapter 757 Market Influence

Fiona just ordered the purchase of herbs. In a blink of an eye, the first batch of buses had been delivered. Ellington, which had reserved motor vehicle lanes and traffic lights in the urban planning a long time ago, saved a lot of time in urban traffic transformation. With the signal lights and isolation fences, the buses could already be on the road.

The emergence of buses will completely change the way people travel in the Irrus Empire. Of course, such a huge change cannot be waited for the bus to be fully produced before it begins. This is a gradual process. It may take a lot of time for people to become familiar with traffic laws and regulations.

The first batch of 400 buses, 200 buses in Ellington, and 200 buses in Yarinks. Although the traffic transformation of Yarinks has not yet ended, it can already allow people to adapt to the life of having a bus in advance.

Although Nicole Peters lives in Yarinks, he is a businessman from Ronnitante. Of course, he is not just a businessman, he is also a spy of Ronnitante, collecting information about Yarinks for the Oscar King.

As one of the outsiders, his business in Yarinks was oppressed by the Business Alliance, but after the Business Alliance was killed by Donn, his spring came. Nichol's business in Yarinks became more and more prosperous, and sometimes he even forgot about his real job when he made money.

The main means of making a living for him to conceal his identity were carriages, that is, to produce carriages, and to promote cheap horses with extremely high characteristics and price ratios. This method of bundling sales allowed him to make a lot of money, which allowed him to return to China in the future and live the life of a top aristocrat.

The Harley Motorcycle, which was suddenly launched on the market a while ago, aroused Nicole's vigilance. The light and compact single-person vehicle was very superior in performance, much more powerful than riding a horse, and its efficiency was completely incomparable.

The only thing that is more fortunate is that this Harley Motorcycle can only carry one more passenger except for riding, and it is impossible to transport goods, so the carriage is still the first choice for merchants.

Even so, Nicole also bought a Harley Motorcycle under curiosity - he is a two-star member of the Datang Chamber of Commerce.

After a day of simple practice, Nicole was able to ride Harleys very skillfully.

The convenience of Harley Motorcycle almost completely conquered Nicole.

He couldn't help but sigh - fortunately, this Harley Motorcycle can only carry one person. If it could pull a few more people, the carriage would probably not be sold at all.

Not long after sending the information to His Majesty Oscar, he heard new news these days.

"The Transportation Law is issued? The Interim Route Planning Map for Urban Buses? Is this related to the upgrading and transformation of urban traffic?"

Nicole, sitting on the balcony, looked down at the Datang Daily in his hand, and then looked up at the construction team that was dinging not far away, with his eyes twitching.

Since the construction team said that it would undergo traffic renovation a while ago, the construction team has not been quiet. They are busy all day long, and Nicole can't believe that this is the closest street to the nobles.

If it weren't for those people's construction that the roads had indeed become flat and spacious, I'm afraid the sound of protest could have penetrated into the palace.

But the noisy noise is not the real reason why Nicole is upset. What he cares about now is what the newspaper says is the city bus.

On one side of the text, a beautiful bus picture is very eye-catching, and the appearance full of elf art style can attract everyone's attention.

"City buses...weep on a fixed route...waiting on the stop sign...just pay a few copper coins to reach every corner of the city quickly...each car can take 60 people..."

Nicole stared at the newspaper and thought it out subconsciously. He hadn't reacted at first, but after a moment, he suddenly changed his face.

Each bus can take 60 people!?

Damn it, even the largest eight-horse carriage can only carry a dozen people, and not everyone can control it!

What damn city bus can actually carry 60 people!?

What a joke!

It's simply impossible!

If it is used to transport soldiers, wouldn’t it be invincible?

But - this is the product of the Datang Chamber of Commerce!

Since its birth, the Tang Chamber of Commerce has never made any promises but has not fulfilled it!

This means that the city bus will probably really replace the horse-drawn carriage and become a means of transportation for people!

At this time, an employee ran into the room in a panic: "Not good! Lord! Big things are not good!"

Nicole looked impatient: "What a panic! Tell me what's going on!"

The employee stammered: "Customer, customer, customer wants to return the goods..."

Nicole's face changed drastically: "What did you say!?"

"A customer who has placed an order before... suddenly wants to cancel the order!"

The employee's voice became fluent: "It's not one or two, but many people came together and asked for a refund!"

"This is impossible!"

Nicole was furious: "They have already arranged production after placing an order and paying the deposit. We will lose all our money after suddenly returning the goods!"

"But they've been blocked in the front store," the employee swallowed. "There are some people who come to return the goods. They say that if they don't return the goods, they threaten to smash our store."

"They dare! There is the guard's outpost next to it. Go and call the guard immediately!"

After Nicole finished speaking, he hurriedly ran down to appease the clients.

"Bodi, my friend, your carriage will be made tomorrow. I swear in the name of Peters that you will fall in love with that carriage. It is newer and more beautiful, and runs faster and more steadily than the old models before!"

Bodi said with a frustration: "Nicol, it's too late to say anything now. Haven't you seen the Tang Daily? It's over, it's all over, and I have no business to do."

Damn city bus!

Nicole remained silent and smiled and said to another person: "Linde, we have been working together for a long time, aren't we? You should be very confident in the quality of my carriage. Why do you want to cancel your order?"

Linde is a businessman and has many opportunities to pull goods. It should have nothing to do with urban buses, right?

"Nichol, needless to say, cancel the order."

Linde said with a smile: "I don't need a carriage anymore."

"But how do you transport goods between those villages and towns..."

"Don't you know yet?"

Lind looked at Nicole with surprise.

"What do you know?"

“Intercity bus.”

Lin De slapped his forehead: "Look at me, I forgot that the news has not been made public yet..."

The group of people around him suddenly became quiet when they heard this and stared at him in unison.

"Linde, we are old friends, aren't we? You don't share any news with us? It's really not interesting, right?"

Being stared at by a group of people, Lin De smiled proudly and said, "Since everyone wants to know so much, I'll share it with you."

“I have a friend in Ellington—”

"We don't care what your friend does! We have to listen to the news!"

Lin De said helplessly: "Okay, that's right. The transportation transformation is for paving the roads of urban buses. Urban buses are a large-scale multi-person bus transportation launched by the Datang Chamber of Commerce. You should have known this from the Datang Daily, but you don't know that urban buses are actually the preparation of another larger plan."

"After the urban bus officially starts at the end of the month, we will soon select a site to build an urban passenger transport center around major cities, and connect other cities around through urban passenger transport centers. The intercity bus will start from the passenger transport center, pass through surrounding villages and towns along the way, and arrive at the passenger transport center of another city."

“This plan is said to be called the one-day transportation network plan.”

"I heard from my friend that since the early passenger flow will be relatively small, the goods that everyone permits to carry will be appropriately relaxed, which means that I can completely use intercity buses to replace the role of carriages in the early stage."

"You may not know how fast the bus is, right? I tell you, the bus is four or five times faster than the carriage at full speed!"

"You said, now that I have such a convenient means of transportation, why do I have to customize a carriage?"

"But," Nicole also wanted to try to win a game for himself, "You don't know how the bus carries out, right? What if that price is expensive?"

"No, on the contrary, I know how the charges are."

Lin De smiled proudly: "According to the new weight standard issued by the empire, carrying items that do not exceed twenty kilograms are free, and it is within 20 kilograms to 50 kilograms. You can buy a ticket for a ticket, which means that for every fifty kilograms of goods, I only need to issue one ticket according to my own standards, which is much more cost-effective than a carriage!"

"The ticket price is the key! We don't know how much the ticket price is!"

"Don't worry, since His Majesty Tang En decided to promote this, and it was through villages and towns, the price of intercity buses would definitely not be too expensive. At least ordinary residents in villages and towns can afford it, otherwise who would take it?"

Lin De spread his hands and said, "I heard from my friends that buses are just the first step to be implemented in advance. After people get used to buses and transportation laws, the Datang Chamber of Commerce will launch new personal transportation. Not only will there be more passengers than Harley Motorcycle, but there are also types of options that can be used to pick up goods. At that time, I'm afraid your carriage business will really not be able to do it."

When Nicole heard this, he couldn't help but feel cold and his whole body was chilly.

At first he laughed at the new king named Tang En, who foolishly suppressed the domestic aristocratic forces and opened up market competition, making them Ronnitante merchants make a lot of money. But now he realizes that the ruthless one is the new king.

Others went bankrupt because of the failure of business competition, but he was the best, and he quietly destroyed the entire market!

It is foreseeable that with the emergence of Harley and city buses, the carriage market will shrink rapidly, and Ronnie Tante's cheap horse business will also be greatly affected.

Obviously, His Majesty Oscar would not like to hear this news.
