Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 108: : Long time no see

A rare day off.

Everyone in the entire Academy of Sciences is resting, having a holiday, and relaxing.

On this day, except for a few people who are still scratching their heads, most people are resting. All relaxed.

Even Li Zhen was relieved.

Because today is the day when the prince came to inspect.

Early in the morning, the entire Qingdao County was directly under martial law, Laoshan County was under martial law, and Dafengtai was under martial law. The prince mainly inspected the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, and officials at all levels accompanied him along the way, constantly explaining the scenery along the way to the prince.

Sitting in the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, Liu Zehui looked at Li Zhen, and said sincerely: "I heard that you and the prince have a good relationship. If you have the opportunity, you must mention Jinghong in front of the prince."

Li Zhen laughed loudly: "Uncle Liu, you don't need to say that the prince will pay attention to these wishes of yours."

Liu Zehui sighed and said, "I'm just a county magistrate. Once the crown prince comes, the officials of Qingdao County must be on their backs. I can't squeeze in. I must be speechless."

Li Zhen looked at Liu Zehui's appearance of worrying about gain and loss, and felt a little funny in his heart. It's really not easy to be an official in Kyushu.

In fact, most officials have no room for appreciation. Faced with such a confusion, no matter how good your job is, if you don't have a position at the top, you will be no good. What did you do wrong, it's about to end.

It's no wonder that Liu Zehui is so worried about gains and losses.

By noon, the atmosphere at Dafengtai became serious.

All the staff of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences had already stood on the road outside, waiting.

'Clattering' A group of cavalry rushed in like a tide, rushed over with murderous intent, and then dispersed. Scattered throughout Dafengtai, Kyushu Academy of Sciences, guarding every corner.

Then, a large group of infantry came rushing. All the firecrackers in his hands were loaded, and all the machine crossbows on his waist were stringed up, guarding the entire road.

Then, well-trained Yamen servants from Qingdao County came, followed by soldiers from Laoshan County. Martial law will be imposed around.

The vast majority of people in the Kyushu Academy of Sciences had never experienced such a scene, and the atmosphere couldn't help being extremely depressed and breathless.

After a while, a horse team came slowly.

‘Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo’ White smoke is billowing in the distance.

The horse team escorted two steam cars slowly coming, Li Zhen was a little surprised, the technology of steam cars was not yet mature, how could someone make a steam car?

But I saw a young man sitting on a steam car, with a lot of salutes behind him.

A steam car at the back has been refitted to be extremely luxurious. The seats are all leather sofas, just like the carriage, and there is a carriage at the back. There is a fireplace inside, carpets, and rubies inlaid on the door curtains of the carriage.

The steam car in the back is very big, and it is driven by a well-trained professional driver wearing white gloves.

Sitting on the platform in front of the carriage was an old man with white hair. This old man kept smiling and talking to the carriage. And this old man is Liu Jianye, the helm of Xingtu Transportation.

"Prince, Xingtu Technology, a subsidiary of our Xingtu Transportation, has improved this steam car a lot. The one you are sitting on now is a concept car that we plan to release and sell in a year. We call it The Lee generation."

In the carriage, only his voice was heard but no one was seen: "Why is it called Li's Generation? It's a weird name."

"This generation of Li was initiated by the research experts of our Xingtu Technology. They said that although they want to use this to make money, they don't forget the well diggers, so they took Li Zhen's surname to name our upcoming project. A steam car for sale. So named it Lee’s generation.”

"Oh, that's it."

"Yes, this steam car of our Xingtu Company is equipped with the core of the steam engine improved by the latest technology. The chassis of the car is a flat boiler, which reduces the occupied area and is more scientific. It mainly burns coal and firewood at critical moments It’s okay, if you go to the grassland area, it’s okay to burn horse dung.”

‘poof’

There was a burst of uncontrollable laughter in the carriage, where to reason. This restored high-end ancient technology can be fueled by burning horse dung... This is really a group of talents.

Liu Jianye continued to talk endlessly: "Our wheels are equipped with a shock absorption system, which can adapt to various terrains. The tires are extremely expensive rubber pneumatic tires, and the chassis is high from the ground, which can adapt to the desert environment. The interior is equipped with a leather sofa, and the place where the sofa and the car board are in contact is also equipped with a shock absorption system. People sitting on it will basically not feel any shaking, which is comfortable.”

"Well, it's really comfortable."

In the carriage, Xun Shifei caressed the precious leather sofa and felt the luxurious environment inside the carriage. It is the love from the bottom of my heart, the joy from the bottom of my heart.

He never expected that Li Zhen would release steam technology, and in such a short period of time, a large consortium was already preparing to open up this emerging industry. There have been three generations of steam engines in the Kyushu Institute of Physics, and Xingtu Company immediately improved them into a formal high-power finished product that can be applied to civilian use.

Xun Shifei couldn't help thinking of the conversation between Li Zhen and himself a long time ago, and murmured: "The power of this capital should not be underestimated."

When Xun Shifei was in a daze, Liu Jianye outside laughed again and said, "I wonder if the crown prince likes this car?"

"Yeah."

Liu Jianye was ecstatic, and said in a trembling voice: "Since the prince likes it, then give this steam car to the prince."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because the prince likes it."

"Hehe, how much do you plan to sell this car for?"

Liu Jianye hesitated for a while, and tentatively said, "We plan to buy one hundred thousand coins."

In the carriage, Xun Shifei narrowed his eyes, and his voice was a little cold: "One hundred thousand coins? Isn't it a bit inflated?"

"Ah... no, the technology here is very high, and knowledge is priceless."

In fact, what Xun Shifei hates the most is monopoly, price hikes, inflated prices and other phenomena in business. He saw this disadvantage when he was a teenager. Once a technological product comes out, it must be a noble item and insulated from ordinary people.

And he and Li Zhen's thoughts agree well. A technological product is meaningless if it cannot be extended to the general public.

"How much did you cost?"

"Cost..."

"Tell the truth."

Liu Jianye was terrified, and said in a deep voice: "The cost of all materials is about 2,000 yuan. But the car is purely handmade, so the labor costs must be included. The total cost is 5,000 yuan a piece." Department."

"Well, it's ok, turn it up 20 times and sell it. Hehe."

Hearing Xun Shifei's sneer, Liu Jianye's heart shuddered, and he said in a trembling voice: "Then... the crown prince said how much money is appropriate."

Xun Shifei said calmly: "Although you are taking the high-end consumption route, don't set astronomical figures. I know you must make a profit. But... have you ever thought that if you give your company the steam Cars are divided into grades ~IndoMTL.com~ into low-end, mid-range, and high-end. Selling them by brand, you can earn more, and some ordinary people can afford to buy them. Isn’t it better?”

Hearing this, Liu Jianye was shocked as if struck by lightning, and was dumbfounded.

He slapped his head, thankfully he is still in business, why didn't he think of such a trick.

Shots are graded. Technology is in full bloom, but enjoyment is graded. Benefit the people, benefit the country, and benefit yourself!

I was a little amazed in my heart. Although the prince looks young, he understands many things thoroughly. Unlike someone who is used to staying in an ivory tower, this prince has vision.

"If you think it is feasible. Before I leave, I will come up with a plan and write a business case for me. If I think it is feasible after reading it, it is pertinent. I will take the car you gave me."

"Okay, okay, I see. Thank you prince, thank you prince for giving me this opportunity."

Liu Jianye was extremely excited.

Xun Shifei is very smart, he naturally knows why Liu Jianye gave him this car. He just wanted himself to help him with this ad.

Because when I go back from the southeast state, I will cross half of Kyushu. Along the way, if you take this steam car, everyone will know what it looks like, and everyone will know how good this steam car is, so good that the prince even rides on it. Everyone wants to buy it.

This is an advertisement for him.

But Xun Shifei accepted it.

After getting out of the car, Xun Shifei showed a smile, and the princely aura was gone: "Student!"

Li Zhen smiled brightly: "Senior."

"Long time no see!"
