"Let's go! We're going to work in the city! "
Early in the morning, when the eastern sky was just a shade of red, two groups of young men walked out of the Han Manor and Plum Village.
The Han Manor group was led by Old Hu, while the Plum Village group was led by Second Master Liu's eldest son. Second Master Liu also wanted to come, but he was too old, so no one dared to let him come.
After the two groups of young men left the village, they met at the foot of Cloud Mountain and headed towards Lantian County.
"Hey, isn't this Old Hu? Where are you going so early? "
On the way, there were many early risers who bumped into the group entering the city, and they couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Boss Lin wants to build an inn, so our Han Manor and Plum Village formed a construction team to help Boss Lin do the work. We can earn some money!"
Old Hu didn't hide anything when he met someone he knew, and directly told them about the construction team.
"… The summer harvest is in a few days, why are you still going to work in the city?"
"Hey! What can we do? If we can't get away, we can only ask someone to help us harvest the wheat! Who asked Boss Lin to rush us? "
Lantian County wasn't small, but it wasn't big either. Very quickly, the news of the Han Manor and Plum Village forming a construction team spread.
"Hey! Did you hear? Boss Lin of the Flaming Yellow Chamber of Commerce wants to build a big inn, and he invited people from Plum Village and Han Manor ~! "
"This … Why did he invite them? Why didn't he invite the craftsmen in the city? "
"Hey! You don't know about this, right? The villagers of the Han Family Manor and Plum Village have all participated in the construction of the Yanhuang Academy and Yunshan Villa. I heard that Boss Lin even went to the workshop of the Interesting Pavilion to hire a few craftsmen who specialize in construction. It seems like the inn he is going to build will definitely be extraordinary!
"Ah? Based on what you said, Boss Lin wants to build an inn the same as Yanhuang College and Cloud Mountain Villas? "
"That I don't know! But the wages that Boss Lin gave to the Han Manor and Plum Village's construction team shouldn't be low! Otherwise, why would the villagers of these two villages help him build an inn when the summer harvest is coming? "
"Of course! Old Hu from the Han Family Manor said that they weren't willing to work in the city at this time, but they couldn't resist Boss Lin's urging. I think Boss Lin's salary must be very generous! "
"Tsk tsk! When Yanhuang College and Yunshan Villas were being built, many people from the Wang Family Village also went there. We also know how to build those kinds of houses! Later on, we'll also form a construction team. If there's a boss in Lantian County who wants to build a house like that, we'll also take on the job! "
"Our Liujia Village also has people who can build that kind of house! We also want to set up an engineering team! "
"I heard that the workshop of the Strange Interest Pavilion is also hiring. They are hiring a lot of people!"
"The workshop is recruiting again? How could this be? I think there are already many people in Marquis's workshop! "
"Hey! I heard that Marquis wants to build a power line from the Ba River all the way to Lantian County. This requires a lot of people! "
"What? Does this mean that Lantian County is going to be electrified? That's great! In the past, when I saw that Yunshan Village was still brightly lit at night, I was very envious. Now that Lantian County has electricity, it will be like Yunshan Village at night. Everywhere will be brightly lit! "
"That's right! I just don't know when our village will be able to use electricity. I've seen it before. Electric lights are much brighter than candles and oil lamps! "
"I want to work at the workshop of the Strange Interest Pavilion. I'll work for a few days before the summer harvest. I can also earn quite a bit of money!"
"I'll go too! I'll go too! "
While the commoners were discussing animatedly, an empty plot of land in Lantian County's Rising Dragon Lane was already bustling with activity.
Oxcart after oxcart of cement was unloaded under the shade of a tree beside the construction site. The construction team and commoners were digging the foundation, mixing cement with cement, and sawing wood. It was very lively!
"Old Master, we've invested so much money to build an inn. When will we be able to recoup our capital? You've never done an inn business before. Why did you suddenly think of doing this this time? "
In a nearby shed, Madam Lin looked at the bustling construction site. Not only was there no joy on her face, but there was also a hint of worry. This was because she knew that this construction site was' burning money 'at every moment!
Lin Wenyuan patted his wife's hand and said with a smile, "Hehe! Madam, don't worry! After our Longmen Inn is completed, it will be the tallest building in Lantian County. Just based on this gimmick, it will attract countless businessmen to stay here.
What's more, it's not like you haven't seen Yunshan Villas before. Tell me, do you like that kind of house? That kind of architectural style is hard to come by in the entire world. If we seize the opportunity to build it, do you have to worry about attracting customers?
Madam, just wait and see. When our inn is completed, or even when it's only halfway done, there will definitely be many people who want to build houses like us. It's just that it's hard to say if they'll be able to get cement by then! "
At the end, Lin Wenyuan couldn't help but smile proudly. Although Li Zexuan planned to build a cement factory and increase the production of cement, there was still a period of time before the factory could be put into production. He could use his status as a member of the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce to get a batch of cement from Li Zexuan in advance. This was a great opportunity. And in business, the most important thing was to seize the opportunity. Those who walked in front would have meat to eat, while those who came late could only drink soup!
Seeing that Lin Wenyuan was so confident, Madam Lin heaved a sigh of relief. She said, "It's good that Old Master knows what to do! I believe in Old Master's foresight! Our Lin Family has already made a fortune from the bicycle business. Now, with this Longmen Inn, it's fine even if we lose some money! "
Lin Wenyuan laughed heartily. "Haha! Speaking of bicycles, our Qing Ya Zhai's second generation bicycles will definitely become a best-selling model. Madam, just wait and see! It's getting late. Let's go back to Qing Ya Zhai and see if the shop assistants have tidied up properly! "
… … …
"Newspapers for sale! Newspapers for sale! The new generation bicycles developed by Curious Pavilion are for sale today! Those who want to buy a bicycle, buy a newspaper to read! "
"Newspapers for sale! Newspapers for sale! Curious Pavilion's second generation bicycles are for sale today. They run faster than horses and are not easy to overturn. Those who want to buy them, buy them now! "
At seven in the morning, the sun had just risen. The city that had slept for an entire night had completely awoken. At this time, the citizens had just finished their meals and were preparing to start the day's work. On the streets, the newsboys' cries injected a bit of liveliness into the morning of Lantian County. It was just that the content of the newsboys' cries today was especially attractive!
"Bicycles? Strange Interest Pavilion has made a new bicycle? "
"Run faster than horses? Is it that exaggerated? Is this second generation bicycle really that good? "
"Hey! That kid! Give this old man a copy of the newspaper! "
"Quick, quick, quick! Give this old man a copy too! "
Once they heard that Curious Pavilion seemed to have made an even better bicycle, some of the bicycle lovers immediately clamored to buy a copy of the newspaper to read the details!
The current Lantian County was no longer the poor and run-down county of the past. Countless businessmen had moved in and countless shops had sprung up. In addition, the roads in Lantian County had been upgraded and all of them had been replaced with cement roads. They were both flat and spacious. This had increased the popularity of Lantian County by a lot!
The number of rich people living in Lantian County was not much less than Chang 'an City! The number of people who could afford bicycles was also not a small number!
"After months of research and development, the workshop has produced a new generation of bicycles that are rear-wheel-drive and chain-driven. Compared to the previous generation of bicycles, the second generation of bicycles is at least twice as fast in terms of maximum speed. It also saves a lot of energy and makes it harder to fall when braking suddenly. The second generation of bicycles has truly turned riding into enjoyment!
From today onwards, the second generation bicycle will be on sale. There will be a limited number of 100 bicycles on the first day. Chang 'an City's West City's Craftsman Pavilion, Lantian County's Cao Family's Appraiser Pavilion, Lin Family's Qing Ya Zhai, Zhang Family's Elegance Pavilion, Liao Family's Jade Treasure Hall, Feng Family's Earth Treasure Pavilion, Lin Family's Wisdom Depository Zhai, and Wang Family's Jubao Zhai will be on sale at the same time. The starting price will be 599 yuan. All customers can try before buying!
Note: Curious Pavilion's new products will not be discounted with membership cards. However, membership card holders can still enjoy priority in queuing! "
Seeing the introduction of the second generation bicycle in the newspaper, the commoners instantly exploded!
"The second generation bicycle is rear-wheel-drive. This is a good change! But what is this chain-driven thing? How come I've never heard of it? "
"It's good that you've never heard of it! This is the latest technology developed by Marquis' workshop. If you've heard of it, then why are all the craftsmen in Curious Pavilion working so hard? "
"Tsk tsk! The second generation bicycle is twice as fast as the first generation? That's too awesome! "
"It's just that the price is a little expensive. It's 599 yuan and there's no discount!"
"Heh! The products from Curious Pavilion are definitely the best! So what if it's a little expensive? As long as it's worth it! Besides, is 599 yuan really that expensive? Even a slightly better horse carriage costs more than that! In my opinion, it's better to buy a second generation bicycle than a horse carriage! But I'm a little curious. What does the newspaper mean by the price starting at 599 yuan? Could it be that the second generation bicycle has more than one price? "
"This … I don't know about this! What I'm troubled about is that our bicycle was bought less than half a year ago. Now that there's a second generation bicycle, what should we do? "
"Haha! What's there to be troubled about? Whether we buy it or not, let's go take a look first! Didn't they say that we can try before buying? Let's go, let's go! Let's go and see if the second generation bicycle is as amazing as the newspaper says! "
"Brother Meng is right! Let's go take a look! This place is closest to the Lin Family's Qing Ya Zhai. Let's go there and take a look! "
"Alright! It's all thanks to Boss Lin's Qing Ya Zhai in Lantian County. Otherwise, we'd have to go all the way to Chang 'an City! "
"That's right! That's right! Lantian County is getting more and more lively! Didn't the Cao Family's Appraisal Pavilion move here too? "
What was worth mentioning was that under Cao Wendong's lead, the few major members of the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce had all moved their shops and businesses to Lantian County. For example, the Lin Family's Qing Ya Zhai, the Zhang Family's Elegant House, the Liao Family's Jade Treasure Hall, and the Feng Family's Kun Bao Pavilion all had branches in Lantian County now. What's more, people like Cao Wendong and Lin Wenyuan had directly treated their shops in Lantian County as their main stores, and their shops in Chang 'an City had become branches.
… … …
At 7 AM, less than half an hour after Datang Daily opened for sale, a large group of businessmen rushed to the Appraisal Pavilion, Qing Ya Zhai, Elegant Pavilion, Jade Treasure Hall, Earth Treasure Pavilion, and other major shops in Lantian County that were selling bicycles.
"Why hasn't the shop opened yet? Where's your boss? Get Boss Lin to open the shop! "
In front of Qing Ya Zhai, some of the businessmen saw that the shop's doors were still closed and could not help but shout.
"Yeah! What time is it? Why hasn't Qing Ya Zhai opened yet? Open the door! We want to buy the second generation bicycles! "
"Look! Are those two bicycles the second generation bicycles that the Datang Daily was talking about? "
"That's right! The style is indeed different from the previous generation bicycles! Didn't they say that we can try them before buying? I want to try them! "
"Hey! Boss Lin is coming out! "
Just as the customers could not help but want to try the bicycles, Lin Wenyuan finally walked out from the side door of Qing Ya Zhai. He gestured with his hands and said in a clear voice,
"Dear customers, please be patient. Our Qing Ya Zhai will open for business in half an hour. Now, you can try the two new generation bicycles in front of the shop and see if the rumors are true! Everyone, please line up and come one by one! Please do not crowd! "
After he said that, some of the businessmen were immediately dissatisfied!
"Why must we open for business in half an hour? Can't we open for sale now? I don't want to try it out, I just want to buy it! "
"That's right! I also don't want to try it out, I just want to buy a second generation bicycle! "
Reality proved that there were many rich and willful people in the crowd. There were many people who responded to that rich young master.
Lin Wenyuan said helplessly, "Dear customers, it's not that I don't want to open for business earlier, but Qing Ya Zhai only opens for business at 9 AM every day! All the shops in this county also open for business in half an hour. How can I break the rules! Everyone, please be patient and try out the new bicycle first! You can line up later to buy it! "
Hearing Lin Wenyuan's words, everyone knew that it was impossible for Qing Ya Zhai to open for business. Thus, they could only line up to try out the two second generation bicycles.
"This young master came first, I'll try it out first!"
A well-dressed young master stepped out from the crowd and walked towards one of the bicycles.
He nimbly got on the bicycle and sat on the seat. With a light tap of his foot on the pedals, the bicycle immediately started to move!
"Wow! Easy to ride! This second generation bicycle is really easy to ride! It's a million times easier to ride than the previous bicycles! "
That rich young master's eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly.
The businessmen who were lining up at the back couldn't help but discuss among themselves:
"It does look a lot easier to ride than the first generation bicycles! There's a reason why it's expensive! "
"Of course! I've said it before! Strange Taste Pavilion's products are definitely the best! Although the things here are expensive, the quality is definitely worth the price! "
"Haha! I'll buy this bicycle! Today, this young master must buy this second generation bicycle! "
The well-dressed young master rode the bicycle and circled the empty space in front of Qing Ya Zhai twice before getting off the bicycle and laughing loudly.
