Chapter 855 Start of Industry
The sky was gloomy and the rainstorm was pouring. No one was willing to go out in this weather. Even Tang En hurried lazily on the sofa in the study. Seeing Fiona busy there, he would occasionally hear her answer a call (although it was a bit inappropriate to call it, it was written as a phone call for the sake of the readers' reading convenience).
Although Tang En can interfere with the weather, the weather in the middle of the harvest month is already relatively hot. In addition, the farmland has been harvested and the grain has been entered into the granary. Tang En did not interfere with the heavy rain. He enjoyed the feeling of listening to the sound of the rain for a long time.
Tang En, who was huddled on the sofa by the window, stared out the window in a daze. When he was on the earth, he liked rainy days. He listened to the sound of rain and singing, and felt the quiet moments that belonged to him alone.
But I didn't expect that I had arrived in this world for almost two years in a blink of an eye.
"Hilton just called, Princess Aurelia and Byron, the dean of the Royal Military Academy of Irrus, have already agreed and will start to transform the school soon."
Fiona looked at Tang En. For some reason, she always felt that the atmosphere around Tang En was a bit inexplicably isolated at this moment, as if she had been stripped from this world.
"Um……"
Tang En responded and came to his senses a little: "Not only the Royal Military Academy of Irrus, the next step is to build at least ten primary schools, middle schools, high schools, and at least four universities in Irrus."
Fiona breathed a sigh of relief. After he spoke, the gray sense of peeling disappeared, as if the color had been restored: "The preliminary plan has been handed over to Hilton. I believe she can do this. What I care more about is the school openings 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 the school."
Tang En stared at the dim and gloomy sky outside the window and said blankly: "It is incomplete without experiencing the life of school..."
"oh……"
Fiona didn't know why he suddenly started to feel emotion 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 statistics, this sales data is still accelerating further."
Tang En was a little surprised: "That is to say, Harley alone has already brought us 10 million gold coins? So many rich people in the Irrus Empire?"
Harley Motorcycle is priced at 500 gold coins. At the bottom, it is impossible for at least 60% of families across the country to buy it with such a huge sum of money.
"The sales data at the beginning were indeed not good, but it may be because someone caused a joint effect after purchasing, so the number of people who bought it gradually increased."
After thinking for a while, Fiona continued: "In addition, the main customers who buy Harley Motorcycles are those nobles. The price of 500 gold coins is not high. Basically, each family has purchased dozens or hundreds of Harley Motorcycles. Some use their own products and some are equipped with the guards hired by the family. Some even provide their servants with Harley Motorcycles in order to show their identity."
Tang En couldn't help laughing out loud: "It seems that I still underestimate their consumption capacity."
Fiona also smiled: "It's true. After market sales statistics, the most popular ones are the 'Pink Rose' and 'Green Field' series motorcycles designed by Alili. The 'Harley' style is not as good as the other two in terms of total sales."
"I can probably guess the reason."
Tang En shrugged and smiled: "It seems that no matter where it is, women are the absolute main consumer force."
The appearance design of pink roses and green fields is closer to the 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. Therefore, it is very popular and has almost been sold out on the market. Now the Magic 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 recover, and people are gradually aware of the importance of magic crystals."
Speaking of this, Fiona's expression became serious: "In fact, now some chambers of commerce have started to buy magic crystals at the bottom, and they have finally started to act."
Almost all the products launched by the Datang Chamber of Commerce use magic crystals, and each product is quite popular, which means that the originally relatively closed magic crystal consumer market has finally been opened. Silver City is no longer a big consumer of magic crystals, and all residents who use the Datang Chamber of Commerce products will become magic crystal consumers.
This means that the market for Magic Crystal will be an extremely large and impossible market to be completely monopolized.
The Chamber of Commerce with a keen sense of smell took the opportunity to follow up and could drink at least two sips of soup. Those who come in later may not even be able to drink the soup. After all, the price of magic crystal has begun to rise now, and the price of a inferior magic crystal has returned to the level of eight gold coins and twelve silver coins, and it may soon return to the level of ten gold coins per.
“Do we want to act on them?”
Those guys were like parasites that were clinging to the Tang Chamber of Commerce. Feiona hated this feeling very much and couldn't wait to drive them away.
"No need, let them buy the bottom at will."
Tang En smiled and said, "Don't forget that the cutting standards of the magic crystals used in our products are in our hands. Just tell them, "If you buy and use magic crystals sold by unauthorized distributors, you will not compensate for damage to the goods."
"Can this work?"
"Of course, don't underestimate the importance people attach to 'official original authorization'."
Tang En didn't care much about the bottom-buying behavior of those chambers of commerce. It would be better to say that they finally discovered the plan of the Tang Chamber of commerce, and Tang En was too happy.
If more people see the benefits here, 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, and counterfeit products will probably be born soon.
Tang En was not afraid that they would have a latecomer advantage and rob their own market. After all, all the magic crystal mines in the Irrus Empire are in his hands now, and the underground world still has extremely rich reserves. The potential mines of the Rennes Empire are also owned by him. As the number one mine leader of Plandal, the magic crystals bought by the Chamber of Commerce can be said to have been completely bought from him. What are he afraid of?
His cost is always lower than that of the other party.
As long as they dare to copy, Tang En dares to lower the price. Only when competitors appear will he have reason to lower the price of his products and benefit more ordinary people.
Copying is the first step in innovation. Their daring to copy the products of the Datang Chamber of Commerce at least shows that they have the ability to produce products.
Once the underlying industrial chain is formed, the development of this society will become more and more rapid. This is a process of accumulation and the development speed will become faster and faster until it finally bursts out with unimaginable potential.
After more than a year of development, basic industries in various parts of Plandal have begun to explore and develop in ignorance. The most obvious point is that with the various convenient tools launched by the Tang Chamber of Commerce, the mining industry has flourished, the price of ore has been falling continuously, and the price of pig iron has also dropped a lot. The originally expensive iron is no longer the patent of adventurers, but has entered the homes of ordinary people, and many families can use iron tools.
In addition, the industrial development of Plandal was clearly guided by the Tang Chamber of Commerce, to be precise, influenced by Tang En. Now, the basic industry is developing in a strange direction. Without precipitation, it jumped from zero to one, and the development process in the middle has been omitted.
Especially the chamber of commerce that is fortunate to hire Wild Mages, the development is 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., but for the time being, only Ellington can produce some more precise things, such as high-precision (relatively speaking) bearings, hydraulic rods, magic engines, etc.
Even so, the orders from the Datang Chamber of Commerce have supported many chambers of commerce. Many chambers of commerce have now given up reselling goods and instead found a fixed city to settle down to process spare parts. They have begun to rely on the orders of the Datang Chamber of commerce to survive.
There is nothing wrong with this. Compared with the originally dangerous business life, although you have made less money now, the advantage lies in safety and stability.
"In addition, the framework of Datang Mobile Communications has been built. All major cities in the empire have opened storefronts, and personnel recruitment and training have been initially completed. Now, except for the magic mobile phones we use, there are still a small amount of goods in stock. Should we sell them slowly first?"
Fiona suddenly remembered this matter and hurriedly reported it to Tang En, remembering that he attached great importance to it at the time.
“How much is in stock now?”
"There are about 5,000 units registered on the account table, and since they are used for their own use, they are all produced in the 'balance' model. The main reason is that the current production capacity is still not enough. After Ms. Yustisa and the others further master the technology, the production capacity may be further improved."
Five thousand "balance" magic phones...
Tang En pondered for a moment and said, "There are hundreds of units in each city that can be sold. However, before selling, it is better to hold a press conference according to the old rules, at least let people know that Plandal has ushered in the era of wireless communications."
Although I don't understand what the wireless communication era means, Fiona still wrote down this sentence.
"I understand, then the time will be set in three days. I need to do some preparations here to warm up."
"You can make arrangements for yourself."
Is it an illusion that Tang En looked at the gloomy sky outside the window?
I always feel like something is flying over.
"boom!"
The small red dragon hit the window, its whole face flattened, staring at the faint arcane glory in Tang En's hand...
