Chapter 959 Good news
Rivetz didn't even need to calculate to know how big a blow to the operation of the expressway would be.
The investment that Star Diamond Bank spent on laying the expressway was a huge sum of money. If it could not achieve the expected returns, it would really vomit blood.
Tang En is now engaged in this air transportation industry with the dwarfs, which is completely destroying the Great Wall!
Rivez was anxious, but Don smiled.
This is the effect he wants to see.
If you simply cooperate with goblins to build highways, they will definitely be lazy over time. Businesses without competition are the easiest to make people lazy.
However, if the air transportation industry that Tang En cooperates with the dwarfs starts, in order to compete with air transportation for customers, Star Diamond Bank will have to find ways to improve the service quality of highway-related industries.
Although he was thinking about letting them compete with each other, Don Neng still wanted to comfort Rivez on the surface: "Don't worry, the air transport industry and the expressway do not compete, but it is better to say that they are complementary."
"What are you kidding!"
"I'm serious."
Tang En said: "First of all, although the cargo capacity of airships is more than that of horse-drawn trucks, the number of airships is far inferior to that of cargo. Therefore, the air transportation industry has no advantage in cargo loading. The only advantage may be that it is faster. Therefore, in terms of freight, the main coverage of air transportation is high-value, small-sized, and lightweight valuables, while there are no restrictions on land transportation."
"Secondly, the operating cost of airships is very high, so the fare is definitely not too low, and there are not many people who can afford the fare. Therefore, the main customers are nobles, rich adventurers, merchants who are willing to pay for time. The highways are very cheap and ordinary people can afford it, so there is no conflict in the customer side, at most it is a bit superposition."
"Once again, the route of air transportation is fixed, and can only be from one city to another, with a long distance. Secondary cities have not considered inclusion in routes at present, so even if someone takes an airship and still has to take the expressway after landing, you don't have to worry about the fewer customers."
Speaking of this, Tang En smiled and said, "Actually you should be happy. Once the air route is opened, a secondary bus hub must be set up near the aviation towers of each city to facilitate the divert of passengers. In order to quickly reach the target city, you must take the expressway after leaving the aviation tower, so the utilization rate of the expressway will be further improved."
Rivez frowned. Although he intuition told him that Don En must have concealed some of the information, he has to say that the information he has disclosed so far is barely considered favorable information.
Although I wouldn't believe Done completely, at least Riviz's anxiety is indeed much less now.
After thinking about it, Tang En decided to give his partner some confidence, so he sat forward and said to Rivetz in a mysterious way: "Secretly tell you good news, the golden age of the expressway is coming."
"Who are you lying to?"
Rivetz scoffed at it and said that the golden period was clearly the last glorious period. After air transportation began, the traffic flow on the expressway would definitely be greatly reduced.
"Don't believe it, do you know why?"
Tang Enhe smiled and said, "Because, the private magic sedan developed by our Datang Heavy Industry is about to be launched on the market."
Rivez was stunned: "Private magic car? What is that?"
Tang En pointed to the magic tricycle under him and said, "It's similar to the one customized for you, but it's smaller, with four wheels. The new multi-person vehicle produced by the family is designed to replace the carriage, and the expressway is basically prepared for it."
Rivetz's brain whirled in an instant. What does it mean to be a new multiplayer vehicle targeting the family? What does the goal mean to replace the carriage? What does it bring to the highway?
With this kind of thing, it will be easier for people who work in families to travel, and it will be easier for them to travel far.
Replacing the carriage means that this magic car is more comfortable and faster, and its cargo capacity is comparable to that of a carriage to a certain extent.
The highway is laid in advance for the design of this vehicle, which means that this vehicle will perform the best performance on the highway...
This means that there will be a significant increase in potential customers who use highways in the future!
After a series of pushes, Riviz was suddenly surprised to find that this new vehicle that has not yet been launched can actually bring huge benefits to the expressway!
"My friend, you did not abandon me!"
Rivez almost happily rushed up to hug Tang En, scared Tang En back a few steps, and said quietly: "I will never harm my allies."
"You said it right, I blamed you wrongly."
When Riviz thought of the endless stream of magic cars on the highway, he was overjoyed when customers took the initiative to hand over the money to him.
Rivetz couldn't wait to ask: "Can you tell me how long will the magic sedan be available?"
"It's almost done."
Tang En thought about it in his mind. The next order of work of the Tang Chamber of Commerce was basically to build an aviation tower in advance, use prototypes to train flight attendants, and at the same time, it began to warm up the promotion of magic cars. According to the current production progress of magic cars, small shipments can be started at the beginning of next month. While magic cars began to ship, airships also began to produce at the same time.
According to the industrial capabilities of the Datang Chamber of Commerce and the processing capabilities of the Gear City, Cloto estimated that it would not be too small to produce seven civil airships in a month. The processing difficulty of this thing is quite high. The speed of being able to be achieved is because many heavy weapons have been removed. Otherwise, the speed of being able to produce three ships per month is a terrible speed.
However, considering the significance of building an air transport network in the later stage, Tang En decided to tilt resources in this regard. Please ask Gene Angus Selna and others who have time to help the engineers to improve their production efficiency. In the early stage, dozens of civil airships will be produced and the aviation network in Plandal will be built.
Rivetz was anxious: "You'd like to give an accurate date."
Tang En had no choice but to say: "It will be launched on the market early next month, but if it is to sell it on a large scale, I'm afraid it will take it slowly."
As magic cars are introduced to the market, those merchants with keen sense of smell will soon gather like sharks, and related industries will immediately flourish. After the relevant industrial chain is complete, the corresponding spare parts production capacity will also be increased, and the overall production speed will be greatly improved.
"Oh, is that true?"
Rivetz sighed: "I knew it wouldn't be that simple."
"There is no way, capacity limit."
Tang En also sighed: "We are short of people."
The development of large-scale industries often requires a large number of grassroots staff. If there is plenty of manpower, how could Tang En be so restrained? He directly opened up production, and even consider affordable sales to achieve the goal of promoting products as soon as possible.
But it won't work now.
If it weren't for the emergence of artificial souls and alchemy puppets that made up for the gap in labor shortage to a certain extent, it would probably be a big problem whether they can be put into production now. How dare he concentrate all the workers in this field?
"No matter what, this is good news."
Rivetz's thick fingers rubbed his chin, which had been piled up with unknown layers of fat: "Since that's the case, I think the existing highway construction project should be accelerated further."
Family cars will be released soon, which means that the utilization rate of highways will soon be in an explosion. If the expressway network in the Kingdom of Ronitt has not been paved before that, it will not be able to catch up with this great opportunity to make money.
Not only should we improve the expressway network as soon as possible, but we should also negotiate with the Datang Chamber of Commerce on the import business of magic cars. Otherwise, if they don’t sell it to the Ronitant Kingdom, you can only stare at me.
Thinking of this, Reeves immediately raised his thoughts with Don En with a smile.
"exit?"
Tang En looked at Rivez in surprise: "I don't mind, but even if you sell it to you, you probably won't be able to use it now."
Rivez wondered: "Why?"
"Because your city has not undergone modern transportation transformation."
Tang En spread his hands innocently: "Now the major cities of the Irrus Empire have completed traffic transformation, and the roads have been replaced with asphalt roads, and are equipped with traffic police and traffic lights. Residents have also obtained traffic knowledge training through the Datang Daily, so private cars can be sold within the Irrus Empire, and the accident rate will be very low."
"But the Kingdom of Ronitant is not good. The traffic here has not been transformed, the road is bumpy, and the residents have no awareness of obeying traffic. The most important point is that there are no buses here now. How can people understand the principle of avoiding cars?"
Although the Apocalypse is not afraid of a car hit, it will be fatal if an ordinary person is hit by a car.
In order to prevent problems, Tang En and Fiona had already discussed countermeasures a long time ago. The speed of the first batch of magic cars will be limited to less than 40 kilometers per hour when they leave the factory. Only after they gradually get used to observing traffic rules and there is no accident for a period of time can they go to the service point set up by the Datang Chamber of Commerce to lift the restrictions and further increase the speed.
"That's actually involved so many problems..."
Rivetz frowned. The transportation transformation of Ronnitant cities involved more aspects, even he could not decide. Such a thing could only be discussed with His Majesty Oscar and let him make an idea.
but……
Rivetz thought in his mind that he could produce a relevant analysis document to explain the huge potential benefits to Oscars, and I believe he would never refuse.
