Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 199 Rolls-Royce Phantom, bidding

The people of Nanjing City have never forgotten the novel and luxurious car of the emperor since they saw it.The so-called comparison of goods has to be thrown away, the officials' carriages are luxurious enough, but compared with the emperor Luan's carriage, they look like rags, and the common people left an indelible impression.

After tea and dinner, in the streets and alleys of restaurants, men, women and children are talking about carriages.

The next day's "Jianlai" newspaper published an article, which introduced the characteristics and advantages of the four-wheeled carriage in detail, and praised it with all its might.The article said that the four-wheeled carriage is the Rolls-Royce Phantom of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the Maserati.

"What is a Rolls-Royce, why is it a Phantom, and what is a Maserati?" People who read the newspaper were at a loss.

Someone persuasively said: "Rolls-Royce is old and dying. It means that after owning a luxurious four-wheeled carriage, a person is too old to die and still wants to die. Phantom, that is the happiness of being old and immortal." I'm hallucinating!"

People roared with laughter and shouted: "Explain explain Maserati!"

"Maserati, the four-wheeled carriage pulls the emperor, which means the nobility of the four-wheeled carriage and the enjoyment of the emperor!"

People laughed more cheerfully, and continued to read the article after laughing.

The article also mentioned that the Jiangnan Tannery Factory has set up an exhibition hall to exhibit carriages for free. Citizens are welcome to visit.

Seeing this news, many people didn't have time to read the newly serialized "Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the newspaper, rolled up the newspaper, stuffed it into their backpacks, and rushed to the Jiangnan leather factory.

Jiangnan Leather Factory, exhibition hall.

Crowded, noisy and lively.After the people who came to visit the exhibition entered the hall, they saw six four-wheeled carriages of different shapes placed in the center of the hall, draped in red and green, dazzling.

These six carriages are open and have carriages, with different lengths and widths, but without exception, they are all wider than two-wheeled carriages.

There is also a sign on the car, indicating whether the car is used to carry people or to transport goods.

At the same time, beside each car stood a beautiful and delicate woman, known as a car model.

Among them, Chen Yuanyuan and Hei Mudan are the most eye-catching. Chen Yuanyuan sits in a convertible with a pipa in his arms, playing noisy and chaotic sounds, just like a peerless beauty who came out of Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing" poem, exuding a classical atmosphere, which is very in line with the spirit of this era. aesthetic;

Black Peony is wearing a special leather jacket and leather pants, standing beside a car in a concave shape.Those bright eyes, that slim and tight figure, those tight and straight legs, and that round buttocks almost made the nosebleeds of the men present.

Just when people were admiring, gongs and drums sounded, Gong Yonggu and Bi Dengfu stepped into the exhibition hall, and they stood together on a high platform.

"Everyone, calm down, I have something to say!" Gong Yonggu said loudly, clapping his hands.

When the people were quiet, he continued: "The emperor ordered this exhibition to open the eyes of everyone and learn about the four-wheeled carriages; Explain in detail the various characteristics of the four-wheeled carriage, applaud and welcome."

The applause started and stopped, Bi Dengfu cleared his throat, and talked about the production and material selection of the four-wheeled carriage, focusing on the advantages of the four-wheeled carriage.

Bi Dengfu said: "It can be seen directly from the appearance that the four-wheeled carriage is wider than the two-wheeled carriage. Whether it is carrying people or transporting goods, the loading capacity is huge. Moreover, the seats of the four-wheeled carriage are wrapped with high-quality leather, and the seats are installed underneath. The springs greatly slow down the vibration, and it is very comfortable to sit on.”

"At the same time, the structure of these four-wheeled carriages solves the problem of the steering device, and will not cause difficulty in steering due to the length of the body. When used to transport goods, the capacity must be far greater than that of two-wheeled carriages."

"Let's look at the carriage bearings again. They use a unique ball bearing invented by our Military Academy, which is the only one in this world. Ball bearings are easy to maintain, have a long service life, and are wear-resistant..."

Bi Dengfu's explanation is too professional, some people understand it, but some people don't understand it.

Gong Yonggu took over the conversation: "Such a luxurious carriage with a spacious compartment, drinking a little wine and hugging a beautiful woman, running down the street, everyone will definitely look back, and it will definitely arouse the amazement of countless people, how majestic it is!"

"Buy one and return home in fine clothes. Who doesn't give a thumbs up? Young men buy one, and they can easily handle their mother-in-law; middle-aged men buy one, a fragrant car and BMW with a hero; Once turned into a young man!"

"In a word, a four-wheeled carriage, you deserve it!"

People cheered and applauded.Someone shouted: "Hearing Master Gong say that, I'm tempted!"

Another asked, "What's the price?"

Gong Yonggu said: "Don't worry, the imperial court has always been honest in its business. It's just to watch, just listen to our explanation, and you can't fully appreciate the beauty of the four-wheeled carriage. Why don't you give everyone a chance to test drive it?" some."

"Test drive?"

"Yes, those who are interested in buying, first pay a deposit of 1 taels, and then you can test drive the four-wheeled carriage in the city. Ladies and gentlemen, these car models accompany you all the way, this is a rare opportunity!"

What, can you still ride in the same carriage with Chen Yuanyuan?
People became crazy all of a sudden, and many rich people took out their bank notes one after another, scrambling to sign up and pay a deposit.

Gong Yonggu took the bank notes from the six people first, and ordered Jin Yiwei to bring the horses and put them on the cart.After the customers and car models got into the car, Jin Yiwei acted as the driver, and the carriage drove out of the Jiangnan Leather Factory.

After about half an hour, all the carriages returned.The six people got out of the car, their faces full of intoxication, and they were full of praise: "It's comfortable, it's really comfortable!"

"Heh, the speed is fast, but it's not bumpy at all, it's absolutely amazing!"

"The carriage is spacious, and it's not cramped at all when you sit in it. You can stretch your arms and thighs and enjoy it!"

After hearing what they said, other people showed envious expressions, and many people shouted for a deposit and a test drive.

Gong Yonggu laughed and said: "Everyone, the test drive is too time-consuming. I still have a lot of official duties to do, so I won't provide this kind of service anymore. But you have also seen and heard that the four-wheeled carriage is used Everyone who has passed said yes!"

"Since that's the case, let's start selling. Since the manufacture of four-wheeled carriages is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the Military Academy has only produced six vehicles so far. Rare things are more expensive. Today we adopt a novel sales method, auction!"

"Auction?"

"It means that everyone bids the price together, and the one with the highest price wins." Gong Yonggu said, walked to a carriage, and said with a smile, "This carriage is the car that His Majesty the Emperor used when he traveled yesterday. It is something that the Emperor used. , extremely honorable, the base price of this car is 3 taels of silver, can someone call the price?"

3 taels of silver is not a small amount, but it can't stand the Ming Dynasty. There are rich and rich people.

One rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "I'll pay 5000 taels!"

As soon as the words fell, someone shouted: "4 taels!"

"Forty-one thousand taels!"

……

In the end, this four-wheeled carriage was sold at a high price of 6000 taels.Gong Yonggu looked at Bi Dengfu with a smile, and Bi Dengfu was also smiling.
