On the first day of Mana Sedan sales, the first batch of pre-production Mana Sedan was sold out, including 500 "Tang Dynasty" for the high-end market, 2,000 "Great Song" for the mid-market, and 4,000 "Great Ming" for the low-end market.
Thanks to the hot sales of Mana Sedan, Tang En had asked the factory to produce supporting products in advance, such as seat covers, interior decorations, inflatable pumps, and other peripheral accessories, which were also selling very well.
People in Prandal had never seen a Mana Sedan, so how would they know that many things were actually not necessities? As soon as it was mentioned in the publicity, those rich people immediately waved their money and bought it.
In the process, there was even the first batch of scalpers.
Originally, the "Great Ming" Mana Sedan was targeted at the low-end market. Due to the current lack of production capacity and supply, as well as the huge attraction of Mana Sedan, many people who had some money in their pockets rushed to buy it.
After some of them bought it, they sold it to others and earned a considerable amount of money from the price difference.
Although Tang En and Fiona wanted to curb this behavior, there was no effective way.
After the car was sold, you couldn't stipulate that it had to be used by the owner, right? If it belonged to the owner, whether he sold it to others or used it himself was his own business. No matter how strong Tang En was, he couldn't interfere with other people's private affairs.
In the end, Tang En and the others could only work on the two aspects of Mana Sedan and the road.
When the license plate was used, it was necessary to apply for an identity crystal card. The license plate of Mana Sedan was bound to the identity crystal card. If it was sold within a month, a handling fee would be charged. The earlier it was sold, the more expensive the handling fee would be.
Secondly, on the road, one must have a driver's license to drive Mana Sedan. When this rule appeared, some smart people immediately found a new business opportunity.
Those aristocrats didn't have time to get a driver's license, but they did!
After the test, those aristocrats who bought Mana Sedan would have to drive it, right? Even if they couldn't open it, he could!
Therefore, in a very short period of time, two professions were born in Prandal: "Full-Time Driver" and "Part-Time Driver". Furthermore, the first batch of people who started this business made quite a lot of money. Soon, they formed a Chamber of Commerce that specialized in this business and roped in a large number of people to become rich together. Their monthly income went from a few dozen gold coins to 500 gold coins in a straight line to 1000 gold coins …
After Tang En learned about this matter, he specially talked to Fiona and the others to let them know more about the Datang Chamber of Commerce's core purpose of "taking from the people, using for the people, benefiting society, and creating a future together."
In other words, it was to create a market, guide the market, develop the market, and finally lead everyone to become rich together.
In order to deal with the large number of Mana Sedan entering the market, Tang En specially looked for Aurelia to add a large number of traffic police to maintain traffic order. At the same time, he distributed a large number of traffic rules for free to help the general public understand the traffic rules.
Private cars did not pose much of a threat to Heaven's Revelations, but once they started running, they would run into ordinary people. Even if the factory had limited the maximum speed to 80 km/h during production, a car at 70 km/h could still send a person flying a dozen meters. It was very dangerous, right?
Not only that, but with the official release of Mana Sedan, a series of derivative industries followed. In order to promote the industrial development of Prandal, Tang En asked Fiona to open a public tender to increase the scale of authorization and support other small and medium-sized Chambers of Commerce to join this industry. They could not produce large industrial products, but they could still produce small parts, decorations, and peripheral products. For this reason, Tang En specially announced that the Datang Chamber of Commerce would provide technical support and training to the successful Chambers of Commerce.
Once this news was released, the whole Irus Empire was in an uproar. Countless people were envious of the ability of the Datang Chamber of Commerce to make money, but there were very few who imitated it. Why? Because they did not have the technical ability!
Now, they were directly saying that they did not have the technical ability? We'll give!
You don't have the equipment? We'll sell!
Want to make money? Just join us!
Then what are you waiting for?
Therefore, the first tender almost burst the entire Alinx Arena of Champions. Hundreds of Chambers of Commerce, big and small, waved their banknotes and took the initiative to write all kinds of unequal conditions, fighting to be the first to hitch a ride with the Datang Chamber of Commerce.
Fiona did not quite understand at first, but after thinking carefully, she finally understood Tang En's good intentions.
This industry was really too big. It was impossible for the Datang Chamber of Commerce alone to swallow it all, because the Datang Chamber of Commerce's main direction of development was to create a market and create standards. The ultimate goal of everything was to serve Tang En's ideas.
If they wanted to develop the Mana Sedan industry as soon as possible, they had to gather enough resources and manpower, and work together to develop it.
Therefore, Fiona and Tang En very happily came up with quite harsh terms, tying the Chambers of Commerce that met the standards to their own war chariot. In the future, they would prosper together, and if one of them fell, all of them would fall.
Of course, in fact, the so-called harsh terms were only to limit the ambitions of those people. You want to make money? No problem, you can eat meat if you follow me. No matter how bad you are, you can still make a living. But if you want to be independent after developing, and even want to turn against your master? Sorry, you will die miserably …
The emergence of Mana Sedan this time not only completely changed the way people traveled, but most importantly, Tang En finally began to introduce heavy industry to the world.
With the participation of hundreds of Chambers of Commerce, big and small, factories in various cities would soon blossom everywhere. As people's needs increased, the precision of processing would continue to increase, and various technologies would also improve. The accumulation of knowledge and inheritance would also accelerate. Perhaps soon, some unexpected geniuses would be born in this world, injecting fresh blood into the future development of these industries.
Alinx.
Seine was the boss of Zhanshen Chariots and Horses. In the past, his main business was to provide carriage rental services for those people. The hundreds of carriages in his hands shuttled through the streets and alleys of Alinx every day. In a month, after deducting his salary and operating costs, he could earn a few thousand gold coins. Although it was not enough in Alinx, it was more than enough for him to live a good life.
Since the introduction of bicycles, Zhanshen Chariots and Horses' business had decreased a lot. This was because many people chose to ride bicycles for short trips, and were no longer willing to spend money to rent carriages. Fortunately, the main customers were not the civilians who occasionally rode carriages. Seine even comforted himself that those people would definitely return to the embrace of carriages after the popularity died down.
However, the subsequent introduction of motorcycles made Seine even more uncomfortable. This was because this time, not only the civilians, but also a portion of the noble customers had flocked to the embrace of motorcycles. Compared to the slow and sluggish carriages, motorcycles could be controlled freely, were steadier than horses, and were faster than carriages. Obviously, motorcycles were a better choice.
However, Seine also felt lucky. After all, motorcycles could only carry one person. If they wanted to travel as a family, they would definitely choose to ride a carriage. This was their only choice.
Then … the magical bus suddenly appeared just like that.
This was simply a nightmare for Seine!
The bus routes were well-connected, and the riding environment was comfortable. No matter where in the city, it was very convenient to reach. There was even no need to worry about time. This was because if one missed a bus, there would be another. There was no need to pay any additional rental fees …
After the public bus became popular, Zhanshen Chariots and Horses' business plummeted. This was because renting a carriage, even the cheapest one, would cost at least 50 copper coins. What about the magical bus? After applying for an identity crystal card, it would only cost a few copper coins!
Even the nobles who didn't like to squeeze with the civilians would occasionally choose to ride the magical bus for convenience's sake …
Faced with such a bleak business, Seine had already retreated. He realized that times had changed. In the future, perhaps carriages would really become something in people's memories.
However, in the face of his many years of foundation, Seine had always been unable to harden his heart to personally end it all. Thus, he had been bitterly holding on for a while.
His efforts had finally been completely defeated in these few days.
On this day, the owners of the Irus Empire's carriage companies finally recalled the fear of being dominated by the Datang Chamber of Commerce!
Private Mana Sedan!
This was a nightmare even more terrifying than the magical bus!
Not only Zhanshen Chariots and Horses, but even the big companies next door, Windwalker Carriage Company, and Hitchhiker Carriage Company, were all dumbfounded after hearing this news.
Unlike the nightmare brought about by the magical bus, the private Mana Sedan brought about the end of the carriage companies!
With the comfortable and fast private Mana Sedan that was warm in winter and cool in summer, who would want to ride a carriage? Who would want to endure the stench of horses?
Those without money would ride bicycles or take public transport!
Those with money would directly open a private Mana Sedan!
Who would want to ride a carriage?
No one!
This was the true end of the world!
Seine, who was as tall and sturdy as a strong warrior, sat in the carriage company in a daze as he looked at the endless stream of people in front of him. He felt like a pitiful person who had been abandoned by the times. No one would pay attention to him, and no one would care whether he lived or died.
It's all his fault!
A voice suddenly sounded in Seine's mind.
That's right! It's all his fault!
If Tang En Majesty had not developed the private Mana Sedan, his carriage company would still be doing well, and he would still be living a happy and happy life. He would not be like he was now, dispirited like a defeated dog, waiting for business to come knocking on his door!
All of this was his fault!
As the saying goes, if you raise the rice, you raise the rice, and if you raise the rice, you raise the rice, but if you raise the rice, you raise the rice, you raise the rice, you raise the rice, you raise the rice, you raise the rice to be grateful to Tang En. However, for those whose income had been greatly reduced due to the upgrade of technology, annoyance, anger, and hatred grew uncontrollably in their hearts.
Seine, who was full of resentment, said, "Even if I, Seine, die of poverty, starvation, or die on the streets outside, I will never support him again!"
At this moment, someone suddenly rushed in, "Boss! Good news! Good news! Tang En Majesty has just announced that the Datang Chamber of Commerce will provide free Mana Sedan for the carriage companies and sponsor the existing carriage companies to reorganize and establish a taxi chamber of commerce! It will provide a new and more comfortable car rental service for the public! "
"What!?"
The hatred in his heart instantly disappeared. Seine jumped up with a look of ecstasy, "Tang En Majesty is wise!"
This guy had forgotten the oath he had just made in the blink of an eye.
