"Peng peng peng —"
Fireworks exploded in the sky, and the streets were bustling with activity. The Square of Holy Light was filled with people who heard the news.
It was originally a very ordinary day, but because of the Datang Chamber of Commerce's new product launch, Alinx was dyed with a festive atmosphere.
All kinds of vendors ran out and hawked all kinds of Alinx souvenirs. Among them, the Radiant Church's amulet that imitated Eluri's image was very popular with outsiders. Especially the amulet that was blessed by the Holy See's clergy, it could be sold for a high price of ten gold coins. That was a true amulet that could really exorcise evil spirits.
Autek and his men were standing at the front of the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce's event booth. Beside them, they could see a pile of temporary bonfires and beds. They had been standing guard here since the night they received the news four days ago.
They wanted to be able to buy the Harley motorcycle as soon as possible.
They were just a group of ordinary merchants with no power and no wealth. The only thing they could compete with others was their own pride and perseverance.
They persisted for four days and four nights, and then successfully received the number one number plate.
Faced with the envious and jealous gazes of the people around them, Otec and the others who had not washed for a few days were very indifferent. For merchants who often slept in the wild, this kind of situation where they did not wash for a few days was very common. After all, you could not guarantee that you would be able to find a stream every day when you camped out.
Finally, a beautiful young elf walked up the booth. This was the Datang Chamber of Commerce's usual practice. For the past year, for every new product launch, the spokesperson for the Datang Chamber of Commerce was a beautiful elf.
On one hand, this confirmed the rumor that Tang En and the elves had a close relationship. On the other hand, it also became an excellent publicity stunt.
Have you never seen an elf before? Well, wait for the Datang Chamber of Commerce's product launch.
Otec and the others did not pay much attention to what the beautiful elf said. They only heard things like "time is money", "efficiency is better than everything", "Lord Tang En's great idea", "changing the world again", etc …
Who cared!?
The only thing they cared about now was when they would start selling their products!
He stared at the unknown elven beauty on the stage for a long time, and when he was a little confused, he suddenly heard the crowd begin to stir. Otec's spirit was lifted, and he immediately jumped up, ready to seize the opportunity.
"— — Datang Chamber of Commerce's new product, Harley-Davidson, officially begins sales!"
The elven beauty finally spoke the words that everyone had been waiting for. Without waiting for them to start fighting, she continued to speak with a smile, "The same rules apply. Everyone will line up according to the current order. If anyone dares to cut in line or cause trouble, then I'm sorry, but you will lose the right to purchase."
Those who did not know the Datang Chamber of Commerce well stopped in their tracks upon hearing the Elven beauty's words. The newcomers had wanted to take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the situation, but they did not expect that not only were there soldiers here to maintain order, but even the Datang Chamber of Commerce itself had set up corresponding rules.
However …
"Unfair!"
A few merchants from other places pointed at a few people who directly entered the store and said, "Why do they not need to line up and can just go in!?"
The young man who just stepped into the Datang Chamber of Commerce turned around and smiled contemptuously. He waved the membership card in his hand and said, "Ignorant commoners, just because my master is a six-star member of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, he can enjoy the VIP service without waiting in line."
The six golden stars on the crystal membership card blinded the eyes of the onlookers.
"Six-star member!"
"Gods above, his master is an earl!"
"I'm so envious … When can I also have a membership card …"
"As long as you spend 100 gold coins here, you can get a one-star membership card."
The membership cards of the Great Tang Chamber of Commerce were not only divided according to the amount of money spent. Although it was never explicitly stated, based on the current situation, many people had calculated that there was an unspoken rule. Only Lords and above could obtain a three-star membership card, while Barons could obtain a four-star membership card, and so on.
This meant that no matter how much the commoners spent, they could only get a two-star membership card at most. Of course, with the spending power of the commoners, even if they were not restricted, it would be difficult to get enough points for a three-star membership card.
Autec looked enviously at the few people who walked into the VIP room. This was the identity and status he wanted to pursue.
"Sir, sir."
The waiter shouted a few times, "What do you want to buy?"
"Oh!"
Autec came back to his senses and awkwardly handed over his two-star membership card, the proof of the chamber of commerce, and the crystal card of the star diamond bank, "20 Harley motorcycles, thank you."
"20!"
The people who were waiting in line behind them exclaimed, "Damn it! How can they buy so many! What if it's not enough!? "
Another person could not help but ask, "How many are you planning to buy?"
"A hundred."
"Then what right do you have to say that he bought a lot!!!"
"Because I'm at the back! What if it's gone when it's my turn! "
The businessman was worried, "I'm still hoping to make a lot of money with this thing!"
"Not only you, how many people who came to line up in advance didn't want to take the opportunity to make a lot of money? We … Don't talk about it, look! That's the real Harley motorcycles! "
"Eh!? It looks so familiar — Oh God! "
A businessman exclaimed, "I saw it on the Epa Highway before! So at that time, His Majesty and the rest were riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles! "
Autec and the others' faces were red as they proudly pushed the brand-new Harley motorcycles through the crowd.
At this moment, the Harley-Davidson motorcycle was very different from the batch that Twain had made in the beginning. Taking into account the civilian and commercial functions, the structure of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle had been adjusted to increase the storage space in the back and under the seat.
At the same time, the whole motorcycle was integrated with Ai Lili's design concept. The overall shape was full of modern metal style, and mixed with the graceful natural style of the elves. The two contradictory styles were perfectly integrated under her unique design. The body's decoration and lines were very natural, making the motorcycle look light as a feather, as if it was about to fly into the clouds.
However, Tang En's expression was quite strange when he saw the new design style. After the motorcycle was designed by Ai Lili, it was completely different from the Harley motorcycles on Earth. The wild and domineering masculinity of the Harley was all gone. Tang En was very regretful about this.
However, the market's reaction seemed to be very good.
Even without mentioning the historical significance of the Harley motorcycles, just its current appearance was enough for many people to treat it as a work of art.
Some people who had been waiting impatiently at the back had already proposed to Autec to buy the Harley motorcycles at a higher price, but Autec refused after hesitating for a moment.
It was not that he was not tempted, but the price they gave did not reach Autec's psychological price.
Those people proposed to buy a car at a premium of 50 to 100 gold coins. The largest Chamber of Commerce offered 200 gold coins for one, which meant that if these 20 Harley motorcycles were sold now, they could earn 4,000 gold coins. This money was more than a dozen of them going to the Taris Alinx Trade Route.
But Autec refused.
If he waited here for four days and four nights and finally bought the first one just to earn the difference in price, he could go to the Star Diamond Bank for a loan and sell it for a large sum of gold coins, but that would be meaningless.
What he wanted was to use these 20 Harley motorcycles to spread the name of the Autec Chamber of Commerce.
Now it seemed that the effect was outstanding. Almost everyone in the line knew that the Autec Chamber of Commerce was the first to buy the Harley motorcycles.
Now that the popularity was there, the next step was to see how to operate.
Autodesk's heart skipped a beat as he shouted, "From today onwards, the Autodesk Chamber of Commerce will be fully responsible for the delivery of personal letters and luggage between Taris and Alinx. We will use the speed of the Harley motorcycles to meet the needs of our customers with the highest efficiency!"
It had to be said that the effect of shouting on this occasion was simply …
Tang En, who was standing on the second floor of the shop, heard Autec's roar and suddenly laughed.
"This guy has a brain, but unfortunately, he used it in the wrong place."
The idea Autec thought of was similar to private dispatchers and express delivery services, but Prandal did not have e-commerce like Taobao and Jingdong. It did not have such developed online transactions, and the demand for offline physical express delivery was not so great.
Of course, there was still a market, but it depended on how he created it.
There was not much time left for him. After the magical phone went on the market, things like letters would probably be eliminated immediately. The post offices and messengers in various cities would probably hate him very soon …
"Looks like the market response is good. You can make a lot of money again."
Next to Tang En was Aurelia. She was invited today and gave herself a day off. It had been a long time since she changed into light casual clothes.
"You know that making money is meaningless to me."
Tang En shook his head with a smile and said to Aurelia, "Anyway, it has to be given back to society in the end."
Aurelia glanced at Tang En, then quickly looked away and said as if nothing had happened, "They are very lucky to have met a savior like you."
"The final result hasn't been seen yet. Who knows if it's lucky or unlucky?"
"I don't think the situation will be worse."
"Very optimistic … How's the traffic law?"
"Of course, there's no problem. Who dares to oppose you now?"
Aurelia raised an eyebrow. "The road reconstruction is also on the agenda, but the traffic lights and magical buses you mentioned are closely related to the traffic law. It's more appropriate to wait until the traffic law is introduced before starting work."
"Of course, there's no problem. Remember to look for a place to open a driving school."
Tang En smiled brightly. "Soon, this will be another huge source of income."
