To be honest, the price of 600 min for business car is actually a bit inflated. If you really implement it, you may not be so stupid as to sit. If you really use this price as the standard, it is estimated that this car will be a decoration at most. Except for those dozens of top wealthy businessmen, there will be no one to go up there.

Li Chengqian and Li Ke both understood this, so they did not really plan to set the price so high. The price of 15 min is actually just right, and some businessmen who are not big or small can accept it.

After all, it is impossible for them to be unable to get along with hundreds of people for dozens of people, so they will definitely suffer the losses in the end, not those businessmen.

Just imagine that those top wealthy businessmen are still a small number and they don’t travel at the same time. On average, it’s already great to have one or two people traveling every day.

Then this means that the business carriage from Chang'an to Luoyang is only 1,200 yuan at most, while ordinary businessmen will choose ordinary carriages because of the high price.

If the price of a business car is 15 cents a day, and from Chang'an to Luoyang is at most 100 cents, then ordinary businessmen will choose a business car when traveling. Even if there are more than ten people at a time, they can still pay the price. If there are more people, the income will be even greater.

So after Li Ke simply showed off this matter to Li Chengqian, he put away his teasing smile and said seriously: "Brother, this is the case with passenger transport. After all, there are not many people in our Tang Dynasty who can spend more than ten cents to take a train. But in terms of freight, I'm afraid we will really make a fortune."

"What? Did those merchants promise you the price?" Li Chengqian asked in surprise.

"I agreed, and I agreed very happily." Li Ke was obviously still in excitement. He pulled the chair under his butt, and hugged to Li Chengqian and said with a smile: "Brother, I have been doing a business and know how much consumption will be on the road. At that time, I used the army to transport beef jerky and wool per catty, which was more than a hundred miles a day, let alone those merchants."

"Just calculate clearly, and it's best to tell your father next time you go to Luoyang." Li Chengqian looked at Li Ke who was excited and a little carried away, and had to remind him.

A hundred miles per cent seems to be a little small, but the key is the huge quantity. The distance from Chang'an to Luoyang is 600 miles, which means that each kilogram of goods costs 6 cents. If 10,000 kilograms is transported, it is 60 kilograms, not to mention that the train is more than 10,000 kilograms, it is a small amount of 10,000 kilograms.

In other words, you will earn at least 600 guan a trip from Chang'an to Luoyang or from Luoyang to Chang'an. Although some of the hired workers need to be removed here to load and unload goods, no matter what, you can't use ten guan a lot of money.

One trip is 600 guan, one round trip is 1,200 guan. Two trains and two round trips a day are 2,400 guan.

Two thousand four hundred guan a day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, that is nearly nine hundred thousand guan.

This is just from Chang'an to Luoyang. As the railway is built longer and longer, the distance will be further and further...

Li Ke could no longer imagine how much income he would have. I am afraid it would be a million yuan a day or a hundred thousand yuan a day.

"Hey, what are you thinking? The saliva is flowing out. Is it disgusting?" Li Chengqian couldn't stand the sign of Li Ke's dementia in distracted spirit, and had to wake him up.

"Uh... Brother, we're really rich! I'll tell you, I..." Li Ke, who was woken up, planned to tell his thoughts, but was immediately interrupted by Li Chengqian: "You'd better not dream anymore. The property of an egg is not reliable, be more realistic!"

Li Ke couldn't understand what an egg's property was, so he looked at Li Chengqian in wonder.

Regarding Li Ke's curiosity, Li Chengqian cleared his throat and told him a story.

It was said that a long time ago, a poor couple was walking on the way home. The husband saw a pheasant egg on the side of the road and immediately went over to pick it up.

On the way home, the husband held the pheasant egg in his hand and muttered to his wife: "Wife, we can hatch the egg after we go back, and then we have a chicken. When the chicken grows up in half a year, it can lay eggs. Even if we only lay one hundred eggs, it means we have one hundred chickens."

"We raise these hundred chickens for another half a year, and each one lays another hundred eggs, and we can have ten thousand chickens... In just two years, we will have one million chickens. Then I will sell the chickens and then we will have money."

"When we have money, I can build many houses and have many children. I will marry a few more beautiful wives..."

"Pa" The wife who was originally interested in hearing was full of fantasies, but when she heard her husband accidentally said she wanted to marry her little wife, she was furious and slapped him on the arm.

The husband, who was daydreaming, was startled by his wife's slap. His hands trembled, and the pheasant egg rolled out of his hand, and fell to the ground before the couple could react.

...

Li Ke looked at Li Chengqian in amazement, speechless for a moment.

Li Chengqian glared at Li Ke with regret and said, "What do I do? Isn't it? You just want to make a fortune, but have you ever thought about whether there are so many things in Chang'an that can be transported out? It takes more than 100,000 kilograms of goods to fill the entire train. Do you think there are so many things in Chang'an to Luoyang? Or are there so many things in Luoyang to Chang'an?"

Li Ke was silent, suddenly feeling that everything was so unreal. The pain brought by the instant disillusionment of the dream of fighting gold on a daily basis made Li Xiaosan almost feel unrestrained.

"Okay, please go back and do a statistics on this matter, see how many merchants who are willing to use railway transportation, and then calculate how much their cargo volume and how many transportation cycles are there. After you figure it out, you can explain it to your father."

"But, but if you say it, we don't seem to make much money." Li Ke, who likes to enjoy the pleasure of making money, was woken up by a word and said with a bitter face.

Looking at Li Ke's sad face, Li Chengqian cheered him up and said, "It's not that I can't make much money. The main reason is that the mileage of the railway is too short now. If the railway can cover the Tang Dynasty, it will not be so much money at that time."

"When will you have to wait!" Li Ke complained.

"It depends on you. Anyway, you are the supervisor now. You will be able to control the next direction of the railway and how the progress will be. "Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said with a wicked smile.
