Chapter 751: Change
At an auction, everyone was happy and everyone got what they wanted.
The court easily obtained nearly two million chunks of money, which was undoubtedly a timely help for the court, which has always been tight in finance. Therefore, it has opened up a source of wealth. This new carriage that was built as a supervisor was expensive, but its use was limited to the truth. Except for the army, ordinary people are indeed unable to use it. Now that they have found such a new way out, they will inevitably get a large number of orders. And once the Wuyi pilot is successful, they will inevitably promote it vigorously.
Wuyi is the weather vane of the entire north. After the popularity of Wuyi, it will not take long to become popular in the entire north and even the world.
If all cities in the north, even between cities, use this kind of carriage, such a huge market would be enough to make the generals who are in charge of the prison and slaughter the tiger in their sleep.
Moreover, this can also be regarded as a good policy for ordinary people.
The price of such urban public transportation is determined by the court. This is clearly explained in the bidding announcement. If you want to increase the price, you must first report to the court for approval.
The four winning bidders really want to use this to achieve the goal of making money, but only Tongda Car Store is the only one, and the rest are all based on their own small plans.
Boxing Commercial Bank took advantage of this opportunity to win the lead and became famous all over the world. The front page headlines published in the Tang Dynasty Weekly, with a sky-high price of 600,000 yuan, demonstrated their business strength. Even though they were a trading company with Khitans as the main body, they also entered the mainstream society of Wuyi in one fell swoop.
Now everyone knows that if you reach this big commercial ship, the money will be very bright.
For a moment, in Wuyi, the people of Boxing Trading Company became popular, and there were constant invitations and invitations.
The Liu family in Hedong and Chen family in Hezhong can be regarded as taking this opportunity to return to everyone's sight. At least, they can appear openly in Wuyi. Li Ze alone treated them with a grand banquet after they won the bid, and the news appeared on the Tang Dynasty Weekly, which made them feel that these hundreds of thousands of yuan of flowers are worth the money.
They successfully made the guys who had avoided them before clearly see that Li Jiao and the others were not jealous, which was extremely important for their return. If everyone wanted to accept them again, Li Xiang's attitude was crucial.
What's more, no matter how the bus route they took was finally operated, it was always worth some money. Even if they didn't make money, they had to continue to operate it.
Tongda Trading Company really wanted to do this with all its heart, so after winning the bid, while the other companies were still calling their friends, Qi Heng and others were already anxious to order ten such carriages at the Supervisor in one breath.
The company will be in stock.
Qi Heng and others had no money.
Of course, they also successfully applied for credit from the general manager, and did not ask for interest. The new second boss seemed to be very good at hand, which made Qi Heng both happy and worried. The happy thing was that the new major shareholder seemed to be on top, which greatly made up for their previous shortcomings. Although Tang Ji was also a new official in the officialdom, he could not affect this place far away in the Western Regions. The worry was that if the major shareholder was too strong, he was afraid that his group of people would lose their status in Tongda and would have the possibility of losing Tongda. But now, he could only take one step at a time.
The west line around the outer city was officially opened on the third day after winning the bid. You can sit from beginning to end by two cents. Of course, the west line of the outer city is a place where middle and low-level income people live in the entire Wuyi City. The carriage here is quite different from the carriage running in the inner city. In addition to the many main components, the furnishings inside are very different. Basically, it is hard board seats, carriages, etc., three large long benches can be connected to the end, and thirty people can be stuffed into one at a time. Of course, if you squeeze it, forty people can still sit down.
Tongda did something that made Li Ze amazed, that is, they actually opened a car that was only for female passengers to take. The train was painted pink and men were not allowed to get on this train.
You should know that although the Tang Dynasty is open, it is still inconvenient for men and women to sit together in such a crowded carriage. If this problem is not solved, women will never get on such a carriage.
What Li Ze didn't know was that it was not that Qi Heng and others had the idea of serving women, but that they felt that they had paid a huge price and had to try to earn back the money. After running for a day, they found that no woman was getting in such a car. Everyone was still measuring the street with their feet, and after thinking about it carefully, they understood. Of course, this was intolerable to them.
After all, in the Tang Dynasty, even in Wuyi, there are many women working outside, working or even serving as officials. There are many women in the court, and there are some female generals who set an example. Women are not ashamed of doing things. On the outer city, there are more women who come out to do things, and there are not much less women than men. If these people cannot make money, they will make half of their money. How can this be done?
So, this pink public carriage was specially opened for women. Although pink was a little tacky, it was already amazing for these former rude men to do this.
With an example like Tongda in front and three routes opened one after another, naturally, they had to follow the trend and specially set up female buses.
The grades of the buses on the bus route around the inner city are completely different.
There are only twenty people on a carriage. Each seat is independent, and it is all soft, with a backrest, armrest, and under the seat, there is a box that can be pulled out for everyone to store some of their own personal belongings. The floor under the feet is polished and the interior of the car is carefully decorated. Even the outside of the carriage is completely different from the bus carriages running in the outer city. There are many things that are of little use but are fancy.
Naturally, such a carriage is much more expensive than that of carriages in the outer city.
The ticket price for riding in such a carriage is much more expensive, and every trip is five times that of the outer city.
After Li Ze took his wife and children to take a ride and ran around the inner city for a while, it became a fashion to travel around the inner city of Wuyi in such a carriage.
The inner city of Wuyi now has long stopped being the same as before. On this route, you can see all the imperial yamen, including the Emperor's Palace that is under construction. Even the Li Xiang family's house can also be run around and enjoy it.
As the political and cultural center of the entire northern region, it soon became a fashion for people from other places to visit Wuyi’s inner city by carriage.
I'm afraid Li Ze did not expect that the opening of such a bus would have ruined the great development of the tourism industry.
A new yamen also came into being. The Public Transport Management Department is temporarily managed by the Ministry of Works. This is the result of Guo Fengxiao's persistent struggle with Xia He, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Xia He wants to win any business that can make money and has a broad money prospect.
However, Guo Fengxiao believed that the idea of public carriages was first proposed by the Ministry of Works, and it involved transportation, not only Wuyi, but also the whole world. The benefits of this area should be given priority to the Ministry of Works, which will coordinate operations, improve traffic, build roads, and run more such lines. Now it is only a short distance for one city and one place, and long distances will be opened in the future to connect all places, and all these need to be completed by the Ministry of Works.
In the end, Guo Fengxiao obtained Li Ze's support and grabbed the management rights.
This also made many officials in Wuyi look at Guo Fengxiao with admiration. You should know that not everyone can get this business from the iron abacus, the iron hen Xia Hexia Shangshu. Not everyone can do it. Not that no one has done this before, but they all ended in failure. This time, Guo Fengxiao's final victory was due to a national transportation improvement plan worth hundreds of pages.
He worked in Texas for many years and turned Texas City from nothing to now become the industrial center of the entire north. Guo Fengxiao's work habits and experience of not fighting unprepared battles made him successfully gain the opportunity.
After reading Guo Fengxiao's plan, Xia He had nothing to say because the Ministry of Revenue was still blank on this road.
Chen Wenliang, secretary-general of the Secretary-General, took a few documents and entered Li Ze's general office with a refreshing feeling. He was the Secretary-General who specialized in responding to the Ministry of Work. According to the work process of the Secretary-General, the official documents submitted by the Ministry of Work were first screened by him and then sent to Gongsun Changming for review. Gongsun Changming decided on those that needed to be sent to Li Ze for review, and those secretary-general could directly approve them. Then he submitted these documents that needed to be submitted to Li Ze.
In Li Ze's reflection, Chen Wenliang used to have two dark circles of eyes, and always thought that he was born like this, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.
"Wanda Wen Liang encountered some good news? He was very energetic during this period!" Li Ze asked with a smile.
"Li Xiang, this public carriage has been opened, and Xiaguan is happy!" Chen Wenliang said happily: "Now, Xiaguan can finally have a good sleep every day."
"Ah, why is this?" Li Ze asked in surprise: "You have been holding two dark circles before. Could it be that you didn't sleep well?"
Chapter completed!
