Chapter 759

Fiona has just ordered the purchase of herbs. In the twinkling of an eye, the first batch of buses have been delivered. Ellington, which has reserved the location of motor lanes and traffic lights in urban planning a long time ago, has saved a lot of time in urban traffic reconstruction. With signal lights and isolation fences, the bus can go on the road.

The emergence of buses will completely change the travel mode of people in the ilrus empire. Of course, such a huge change cannot wait until the buses are completely produced. This is a gradual process. It may take a lot of time for people to be familiar with traffic laws and regulations.

The first batch of 400 buses, 200 in Ellington and 200 in yarinks. Although the traffic transformation of yarinks has not been completely completed, it can make people adapt to the life with buses in advance.

Although Nicole Peters lives in alinks, he is a businessman from Ronnie tant. Of course, his identity is not only a businessman, but also Ronnie tant's spy, collecting information about alinks for King Oscar.

Once as one of the outsiders, his business in alinks was oppressed by the business alliance. However, with the death of the business alliance by Donne, his spring came. Nicole's business in alinks became more and more prosperous. Sometimes he made money and even forgot his real job.

The main means of making a living he used to cover up his identity was a car and horse shop, that is, producing carriages and selling low-cost horses with high cost performance. This way of bundling sales made him earn a lot of money, which could enable him to return home and live a life of top aristocracy in the future.

A while ago, the Harley Motorcycle suddenly introduced to the market by Datang chamber of Commerce aroused Nicole's vigilance. The light and small single vehicle has very superior performance, is much stronger than riding, and its efficiency is completely different.

The only good thing is that the Harley motorcycle can carry only one more passenger besides riding, and there is no way to pull goods, so the carriage is still the first choice for businessmen.

Even so, Nicole started a Harley motorcycle with curiosity - he is a two-star member of Datang chamber of Commerce.

After a day of simple practice, Nicole has been able to ride the Harley Motorcycle very skillfully.

The convenience of Harley Motorcycle almost completely conquered Nicole.

He couldn't help feeling - fortunately, the Harley motorcycle can only carry one person. If he could pull a few more people, I'm afraid the carriage would never be sold.

Not long after transmitting the information to his majesty Oscar, he heard new news these days.

"The promulgation of the traffic law? The temporary route planning map of urban buses? Is this related to the upgrading and transformation of urban traffic?"

Sitting on the balcony, Nicole looked down at the Datang daily in his hand, and then looked up at the tinkling construction team not far away, with his eyes jumping.

The construction team has not been quiet since the traffic reconstruction was said a while ago. It has been busy all day. Nicole can hardly believe that this is the street closest to the aristocratic district.

If the road had not been smooth and spacious after the construction by those people, I'm afraid the voice of protest alone could have pierced into the palace.

But the noisy noise is not the real reason for Nicole's irritability. What he cares about now is what the newspaper says, the city bus.

On one side of the text, a beautiful bus drawing is very eye-catching. The shape full of ELF art style can attract everyone's attention.

"The city bus... Travels according to the fixed route... Waits at the stop sign... You can easily and quickly reach every corner of the city by paying a few copper coins... Each bus can take 60 people..."

Nicole stared at the newspaper and read it subconsciously. He didn't react at first, but a moment later, he suddenly changed his face.

Each bus can take 60 people!?

Damn it, even the largest eight carriages can only carry more than a dozen people, and not everyone can control them!

What damn city bus can carry 60 people!?

You're kidding!

It's impossible!

If it is used to transport soldiers, isn't it invincible!?

But - this is the product of Datang chamber of Commerce!

Since its birth, Datang chamber of Commerce has never made a promise but never fulfilled it!

In other words, buses in that city may really replace carriages and become a means of transportation for people!

At this time, an employee hurriedly ran into the room: "no! President! Big deal is bad!"

Nicole's face was full of impatience: "panic, what panic! Say something quickly!"

The employee stammered: "guest, guest, guest, return..."

Nicole's face changed. "What are you talking about?"

"Customers who have placed orders before... Suddenly want to return the order!"

The employee's voice became fluent: "not one or two, but many people came together and asked to return the order!"

"It's impossible!"

Nicole was furious: "they have arranged production after placing an order and paying the deposit. If they return it suddenly, we will lose all our money!"

"But they have been blocked in the front store," the employee swallowed. "Some people come to return goods. They say they threaten to smash our store if they don't return them."

"They dare! Next to them is the guard's post. Go and call the guard immediately!"

Nicole finished and hurried down to appease the customers.

"Bertie, my friend, your carriage will be made tomorrow. I swear in the name of Peters, you will love that carriage. It is newer and more beautiful and runs faster and more stable than the old model!"

Bertie said with a depressed face, "Nicole, it's too late to say anything now. Don't you see Datang daily? It's over, it's all over, and I have no business to do."

Damn city bus!

Nicole said to the other man with a silent smile, "Linde, we've been working together for a long time, haven't we? You should believe in the quality of my carriage. Why do you want to return the order?"

Linde is a running merchant. There are more opportunities to pull goods. It should have nothing to do with the city bus, right?

"Nicole, needless to say, cancel the order."

Linde smiled and said, "I don't need a carriage anymore."

"But how can you transport goods between those villages and towns..."

"Don't you know?"

Linde looked at Nicole in surprise.

"Know what?"

"Intercity bus."

Linde finished and patted his forehead: "look at me, I forgot that the news hasn't been made public yet..."

A group of people around him suddenly quieted down and stared at him.

"Linde, we are old friends, aren't we? What news do you have that you don't share with us? Isn't it interesting enough?"

Being stared at by a group of people, Linde smiled proudly and said, "since everyone wants to know so much, I'll share it with you."

"I have a friend in Ellington -"

"We don't care what your friends do! We want to hear the news!"

Linde reluctantly said: "well, it's like this. The transportation transformation is to pave the way for the urban bus. The urban bus is a large-scale multi person public transport launched by Datang chamber of Commerce. You should know this from Datang daily, but you don't know that the urban bus is actually the foreshadowing of another larger plan."

"After the official operation of urban public transport at the end of the month, we will immediately select sites around major cities to build urban passenger transport centers, and connect other surrounding cities through urban passenger transport centers. Intercity public transport will start from the passenger transport center, pass through surrounding villages and towns, and reach the passenger transport center of another city."

"It is said that this plan is called the one-day transportation network plan."

"I heard from my friend that because the passenger flow in the early stage will be relatively small, the goods everyone is allowed to carry will be relaxed, which means that I can completely use the intercity bus to replace the carriage in the early stage."

"You may not know how fast the bus is? I tell you, the bus runs four or five times faster than the carriage at full speed!"

"You say, now that I have such a convenient means of transportation, why should I order a carriage?"

"But," Nicole tried to pull himself back, "you don't know how the bus charges for carrying goods, do you? What if the price is very expensive?"

"No, on the contrary, I know how to charge."

Linde smiled proudly: "according to the new weight standard issued by the Empire, carrying objects no more than 20kg are free. If they are more than 20kg to 50kg, you can buy one ticket per person, which means that for every 50kg of goods, I only need to issue one ticket according to my own standard, which is much more cost-effective than a carriage!"

"The ticket price is the key! We don't know what the ticket price is!"

"Don't worry, since your majesty Donne has decided to promote this and still passes through villages and towns, the price of this intercity bus will certainly not be too expensive. At least ordinary residents in villages and towns can afford it, otherwise who will take it?"

Linde stood up and said, "I heard from a friend that the bus is only the first step in advance. After people get used to the bus and traffic law, Datang chamber of Commerce will launch a new personal means of transportation, which will not only take more passengers than Harley motorcycles, but also have the choice of types of goods. At that time, I'm afraid you can't do the carriage business."

When Nicole heard this, his heart was cold and his body was chilly.

At the beginning, he also laughed at the new king named Donne, foolishly suppressed the domestic aristocratic forces, liberalized the market competition, and let their ronitant businessmen make a lot of money. As a result, now he found that the most cruel was the new king.

Others failed in business competition and led to bankruptcy, but he did well and quietly destroyed the whole market!

It can be predicted that with the emergence of Harley motorcycles and city buses, the carriage market will shrink rapidly, and Ronnie Tante's cheap horse business will also be greatly affected.

Obviously, his majesty Oscar will not like to hear this news.
