The popularity of the brick road made everyone realize that an unprecedented transportation revolution was about to begin. Everyone wanted a piece of the pie on the brick road. Large merchants moved their workshops to the two sides of the brick road. Small merchants wanted to buy a four-wheeled carriage to start a small business so that their family would not have to worry about food and clothing.
However, the price of a four-wheeled carriage was very high. Not everyone could afford it. Many people wanted to buy it, but they could not afford such a high price.
In the East Market, the sound of hawking attracted the attention of many people.
"Great price! The price of the four-wheeled carriage of Lin's Carriage and Horse Company is greatly reduced! "
Soon, the price of the carriage of Lin's Carriage and Horse Company was announced. The low price made many people exclaim. At this moment, the price of the four-wheeled carriage had exceeded the price in people's minds. Many people could not help but feel excited.
Zhu Jun was one of them. He was a merchant in Chang 'an County. He was very optimistic about the prospects of the brick road. He had long wanted to change his small handcart for a large four-wheeled carriage. Hearing the price of the four-wheeled carriage, he could not help but be moved.
"The performance of the carriage of Lin's Carriage and Horse Company is comparable to that of the Mo's Village, but the price is only about half. You don't have to hesitate. If you miss this opportunity, there won't be another one."
The price of the carriage of Lin's Carriage was originally low. If the price was reduced by 20%, it was almost half of the price of the carriage of the Mo's Village. Such a huge price advantage naturally attracted many people.
"Lin's Carriage and Horse Company originally started in Chang 'an City. The price is fair. It is an old brand."
"Such a price is indeed a good price!"
…
People were talking about it. Zhu Jun saw many people paid on the spot, took a carriage and left excitedly.
Just when Zhu Jun could not hold back, suddenly there was a noise on the opposite side of the street.
"What's going on?" People were puzzled.
"It seems that the Mo's Village is advertising the four-wheeled carriage!" An insider said.
Zhu Jun was moved. Since he was here, it was not a bad idea to check the carriage of the Mo's Village. So he hurried to the opposite side of the street. Many people had the same idea as Zhu Jun. After a while, the crowd of onlookers of Lin's Carriage and Horse Company was reduced by more than half.
"You keep an eye here. I'll go and have a look." Family Master Lin ordered his servants. Then he rushed over with a gloomy face with the shopkeeper and a servant.
Before the rise of the Mo's Village, the Lin's Carriage House was the leader of the carriage industry in Chang 'an City. However, the sudden rise of the Mo's Village made the Lin's Carriage House unable to fight back with a four-wheeled carriage.
At this moment, the Lin's Carriage Shop finally had a chance to turn the situation around. How could they let go of the Mo's Village easily? Naturally, they joined the encirclement of the four-wheeled carriage without hesitation. As long as the Mo's Village declined, the Lin's Carriage Shop would definitely be able to make a comeback.
When Patriarch Lin arrived at the Mo Family's Boutique, he didn't see a carriage at all. Instead, he saw a floor full of spare parts. He was immediately puzzled.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look. All the carriages in the Mo Family Village are made of the best wood, and they have all been treated with special anti-corrosion treatment and sprayed with clear lacquer. They are both sturdy, durable, and beautiful." Outside the Mo's Boutique, Li Xin said proudly. At the moment when the Mo's Village was in danger, Li Xin naturally took charge of the transportation in person.
Everyone nodded. They had just come from the Lin's Carriage Shop and could tell with their naked eyes that the materials used by the Mo Family were indeed much better!
Patriarch Lin snorted in his heart and couldn't help but sneer, "So what if the materials are good? If the Lin's Carriage Shop could sell it at such a high price, the materials used would be even better!"
"This is one of the advantages of the Mo's Carriage. In addition, the Mo's Carriage Shop uses the nut structure instead of the traditional Hayabusa structure." Li Xin finished his words and picked up a screw and nut to demonstrate the function of the nut to everyone.
"As far as we know, the nut structure is not as delicate as the Hayabusa structure!" Under the signal of Patriarch Lin, a servant next door said loudly.
Everyone also nodded. The mortise and tenon structure was the soul of traditional carpenters. Naturally, everyone had a deep trust in mortise and tenon. However, they didn't know much about the nut which had just appeared.
Li Xin's eyes flashed, and he nodded without hesitation, "Although the nut structure is not as delicate as the Hayabusa structure, it is faster and sturdier."
Li Xin waved his hand, and four Mo Jiazi stepped forward and immediately picked up the nut to assemble the four-wheeled carriage on the spot. Almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, a brand-new four-wheeled carriage appeared in front of everyone. The whole process took less than 15 minutes.
"So fast!" Everyone exclaimed.
Patriarch Lin's eyes also flashed. When Xiangfu's Family cracked the secret skill of the Mo's Family, the only difficulty was the nut structure. The nut structure was clear and easy to understand at a glance, but the craftsmanship was extremely difficult. At present, no one had the ability to make it. Unexpectedly, the Mo's Family took advantage of this loophole and had the strength to fight.
"Similarly, if you buy the Mo's Family's Carriage Shop, when there is a problem while driving, you can unload it and fix it in the shortest time. If the wood is worn out, you only need to tighten the nut. These are not comparable to the mortise and tenon structure. "Li Xin said proudly.
Everyone was silent. Most of the four-wheeled carriages they bought were used frequently. Once there was a problem, they could fix it in the shortest time. The advantage was too obvious.
Even Patriarch Lin had to admit that the Mo's Family's Carriage Shop was indeed better than the Lin's Carriage Shop. However, even if it was better, the advantages were limited. With a huge price advantage, he didn't worry at all.
"In addition, the Mo's Family's Carriage Shop uses ball bearings, which are more labor-saving and faster." Li Xin said, and two Mo Jiazi brothers set up a wheel. Li Xin turned it hard, and the wheel suddenly spun quickly. After a long time, it stopped.
"When can the Lin's Carriage Shop's Carriage Shop crack the ball bearings?" Patriarch Lin said gloomily.
The shopkeeper of Lin's Carriage Shop couldn't help but say with a dry face: "Patriarch, the craftsmanship of producing steel balls is extremely complicated. Although the Directorate of Works can produce it, it can only be supplied to the military. It is not for sale at all. We can't get it at all."
Patriarch Lin couldn't help but feel embarrassed. They thought they had mastered the technology of the Mo's Family's Village, but they didn't expect that they were trapped by the small nut and steel balls.
"The biggest advantage of ball bearings is that it saves labor. With ball bearings, even three horses can easily pull a 250-kilogram load." Under the command of Li Xin, the newly assembled four-wheeled carriage was immediately loaded with a 250-kilogram load in front of everyone's eyes. After the three horses were hitched, with a little effort, the carriage began to move easily, and the speed was getting faster and faster. Soon, it disappeared in the street.
"Wow!"
Everyone exclaimed. Three horses could pull a 250-kilogram load, which was enough to prove the excellence of the Mo's Carriage.
"But I still suggest that you continue to use a four-horse carriage, after all, it can go farther and won't hurt the horses." Li Xin said with a smile.
Everyone couldn't help but smile. Their mood was extremely complicated. The Mo's Village's Village's Carriage was good, but it was still too expensive.
"Now the price of the Mo's Village's Carriage Shop is reduced by half. You are welcome to purchase." Li Xin didn't forget to promote the carriage in the end.
"Reduced by half!" Patriarch Lin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In this way, the Lin's Carriage Shop's price advantage still existed.
"Even if the price is reduced by half, the Mo's Carriage Shop is still too expensive!" Zhu Jun gathered up his courage and shouted, which aroused the sympathy of many people.
"Pay half of the price in advance!"
Suddenly, everyone was in an uproar. They couldn't help but look at each other, and couldn't believe that there was such a good thing.
The Lin Family Head and the shopkeeper's faces turned ashen. If they could buy a four-wheeled carriage at half the price, wouldn't that be the same price as the Lin Family's carriage? Although they still had to exchange for the other half of the price, it would give more people a chance. As a result, the advantage of the Lin Family's carriage was greatly reduced.
At this moment, many people were suddenly tempted. Zhu Jun counted with his fingers. If he paid half of the money to buy the carriage of the Mo Family's village, he would be able to earn back the money he earned in two years. In this way, he would have such a good carriage, and he would not have to live in poverty. It was a good deal.
After Li Xin finished his words, a lot of people immediately gathered around. Obviously, they were attracted by the carriage of the Mo Family Village.
If Meton were here, he would definitely be dumbfounded. He never thought that Xu Jie and the others would be able to come up with the idea of buying cars in installments in the future.
