Chapter 100 More Than Just a Magic Car
This shop that sells Xinfei brand magic cars is not located in the city of Wimbledon, but in the outskirts of the city, a full five kilometers away from the nearest South City Gate. ,
The reason why they choose such a remote location is because the location in Wimbledon is too tight, almost every inch of land is worth a fortune. To open a store in Wimbledon, in addition to the need for a strong relationship , also requires huge capital investment.
Because it would take a lot of space to display all kinds of magic cars, so after much deliberation, Billel had no choice but to choose to build this place in a remote location so far from Wimbledon. store.
Compared with opening a store in Wimbledon, although all the facilities here need to be newly built, and even all kinds of infrastructure need to be equipped one by one, the advantage is that everything can be completely based on Billel's own design from scratch. ideas to build.
After more than two months of preparation, the store named "Bilil Magic Motorcycle Firm" officially opened.
At the beginning, there was very little business in the store, and only a few businesses were made by relying on Biller's publicity in the small circle of nobles in Wimbledon City through Prince Frank's relationship.
But when the aristocrats in Wimbledon discovered the great convenience brought by the magic car, it didn't take long for the magic car to become popular in the aristocratic circle.
Even the cheapest magic car is priced at a minimum of 1,500 gold coins, but the supply is still in short supply.
In the first month of opening, the store only sold seven magic cars, but in the next two months. But a staggering 638 units were sold in total. The sales volume was nearly a hundred times that of the first month!
And that number is growing at an alarming rate. Moreover, the people who bought magic cars were not limited to the city of Wimbledon. Nobles from other parts of the Candela Empire also received this message and came to order magic cars one after another.
According to Billier's estimate, in the latest month, maybe a thousand magic cars will be sold in one month!
These magic cars were shipped directly from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and Billel could earn a minimum of three hundred gold coins from each one, regardless of the cost and the freight on the road.
So far, Billier Magic Motorcycle Firm has sold more than a thousand vehicles in total. It means that Billel has earned a full 300,000 gold coins in just these three months!
Every time he was doing financial statistics, Billel would be overjoyed at his original wisdom.
If he hadn't resolutely agreed to Xu Yi's proposal and came here to open this business, how could he have earned as much as 300,000 gold coins in just three months?
With more money earned, he is naturally in a happy mood every day with a smile on his face.
But when Russell and Martin walked into the store, Billel glanced over, the smile on his face paused, and then changed into a much brighter smile. Before the welcome lady, she greeted her personally.
He can see it at a glance. This middle-aged man with gray sideburns has a calm and noble demeanor, and his whole body exudes the aura of being in a high position for a long time. He is definitely not the ordinary little nobles that can be seen everywhere in Wimbledon.
"Guest, do you want to buy a magic car? Please feel free to take a look. We offer a variety of styles of magic cars here for you to choose from. But for your distinguished guest, I personally recommend this one Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's latest e320 stretched and distinguished magic car. You see, its appearance looks noble and elegant, which is especially suitable for your status, and the color is stable, showing your calm temperament..."
Russell listened to Billel's introduction there with interest, and looked at the pure black magic car placed in the center of the entire exhibition hall while looking at Billel.
He could tell that this young man should be of noble origin, not like an ordinary service worker.
If she guessed correctly, this young man might be the owner of this store, Baron Billier from the Kingdom of Lampari.
Hearing that he has some kinship with Prince Frank, Russell looked at him carefully for a while, and found that his appearance was somewhat similar to Prince Frank's concubine.
Moreover, it is said that Prince Frank's concubine is from the Kingdom of Lampari, so this rumor may be true.
After patiently listening to Billel's introduction of the various advantages of this magic car, Russell was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "This magic car is indeed very good, but there is a very serious problem."
Billel was taken aback: "What's the problem?"
"The bottom of this car is so close to the ground. If there is a slight undulation on the ground, wouldn't it be easy to touch it? It may be no problem to run around the city, but I want to drive it directly to the south of the empire. There There are rocks everywhere, maybe this car won’t be able to run?”
"This..." Billel was a little helpless: "Guest, I must admit that the problem you are worried about is very real. There is no way, this magic car is only suitable for the situation on flat roads, but not on other roads. Convenient. There is not enough road traffic network in the Candela Empire, so it will indeed be subject to many restrictions. But if you just drive it in the city and on the main roads in the Empire, there is still no problem. I I can assure you that riding in it will be at least dozens of times more comfortable than riding in a traditional horse-drawn carriage!"
"Hmm..." Russell nodded, motioned Billier to open the car door, looked around, and found that the servant of this magic car looked much more advanced than the magic car of Ambassador Hakanin he was riding in. , and the space is much larger, obviously better.
At Billel's suggestion, he simply sat in and experienced it, and found that it was indeed much more comfortable than riding in a carriage.
"Okay, how much is this magic car?" Russell asked Billier.
Billel was taken aback, and then happily said: "This magic car is the latest model, and you can see that the interior is so luxurious, and the appearance is generous and beautiful..."
"Tell me how much?" Russell waved his hand and interrupted Billil.
Bilil quickly stretched out four fingers: "Since you are the first customer to buy the e320 extended model, I will give you a preferential price, four thousand gold coins."
Martin's eyes widened. Shocked, he said, "Four thousand gold coins for a discounted price? Are you kidding me!"
Billy smiled without saying a word. Just look at Russell.
Russell took another look at the magic car. Without much hesitation, he nodded.
"Okay, that's all. Martin, you go and pay the bill, and I have a little chat with the manager."
Martin opened his mouth, and reluctantly went to the side with the waitress to go through the formalities, while Billel respectfully invited Russell to the cafe area on the side and poured him a cup of tea. Just sat down on the opposite side.
It was only at this time that Russell took a leisurely look at the layout of the shop, and found that it looked familiar. After thinking about it, he realized that this indifferent and luxurious style seemed to have been seen a lot in the Principality of Standing. It is said that It is a decoration style that has been instructed by the elves with noble culture and combined with human aesthetics.
"If I'm not mistaken, you are Baron Billier, the president of this chamber of commerce?" Russell glanced at Billier and asked.
Billil was taken aback, smiled and said, "I'm sorry. I haven't been able to introduce myself. Yes, I am Billil Stark, the president here. As for the baron or something. Since I came to the Kandela Empire, It doesn't matter anymore."
Russell nodded, and did not continue to ask more questions on this question. Instead, he pondered for a moment and asked again: "Well, President Billel, you just said that the magic car is not suitable for the mountainous areas in the southern part of the empire." I agree with the local situation. But I know that the magic car is not suitable, but there are other magic locomotives that are suitable, right?"
Billel was startled again: "My guest, what do you mean..."
"I paid attention to it before I came in, and found that the sign you hang here is 'Bilil Magic Motorcycle Company', not 'Bilil Magic Car Company', isn't it? If this is the case, then besides the magic car, other types The magic locomotive, you should also sell it, am I right?"
Looking at Russell's sharp gaze, Billier couldn't help but stiffen, and then smiled and said: "Yes, you are really observant. That's right. Our chamber of commerce not only deals in magic cars, but also other types of magic locomotives. But no one has ever been interested in magic locomotives other than magic cars before, so I was negligent. So, guest, what kind of magic locomotive do you need? If you don’t know how to choose, I I can give you a detailed introduction, we have..."
"No need." Russell waved his hand again and interrupted Billil. "If I really want to buy it, I should obviously contact the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce directly instead of coming to you. I think it will be cheaper that way."
Billy couldn't help frowning.
This guy is obviously one of the few people in the Candela Empire who has a certain understanding of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. He even knows that he should contact the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce directly, but since he has his own channels, why come here to entertain himself deliberately? ?
However, thinking that the other party just spent 4,000 gold coins to buy the latest magic car, he immediately suppressed the slight unhappiness, and smiled again: "My guest, our chamber of commerce is the sole agent of Xinfei chamber of commerce. Magic locomotives are sold in the Kandela Empire, so if you want to buy other types of magic locomotives, I suggest you buy them from our chamber of commerce. Because our chamber of commerce not only has the approval of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but also has all kinds of complete The certification procedure belongs to the most formal store. If you contact the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce directly, I am afraid that the Candela Empire will..."
Billel didn't say it clearly, he believed that the other party would definitely understand.
Russell shook his head with a smile, thinking that he didn't need to worry about the official formalities of the empire.
No matter how neglected the imperial navy was, no one dared to deliberately stop the navy from increasing its armaments.
In fact, just now, he just had a thought in his heart, but now after chatting with Billier for a few words, he found that this is indeed a good idea.
He has seen a lot of magic freight locomotives produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Standing, and he is very aware of the powerful carrying capacity of these magic freight locomotives.
If the Imperial Navy's logistics department can equip a large number of this magic freight locomotive, then the supply of the Imperial Navy will definitely be greatly improved.
However, it is of course impossible to discuss these matters with Chairman Billier here now. The best solution is to re-establish contact with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Thinking of this, Russell stopped staying any longer and got up to leave.
Originally, he thought that he could just pay the money and drive the magic car away, but he didn't expect that the procedure was quite complicated, and he couldn't manage it within half a day.
More importantly, according to Billier, he doesn't have a driver's license, nor has he ever learned how to drive a magic motorcycle, so he can't drive directly on the road.
This is of course a small problem for Russell, he left these problems to Martin to solve later, and left directly.
Just as Billel sent Russell and Martin away, three magic cars of different colors suddenly drove up from afar at high speed, and stopped at the gate of the shop with a screeching sound of brakes.
The four young men got on and off in three magic cars, first glanced at Russell curiously, and then rushed directly to Billier's side.
"Hey, Billy, what are you still doing here? The game is about to start!"
Before Billil could say anything, the three dragged him over and stuffed him into the magic car.
A moment later, the three magic cars started quickly and disappeared into the distance of the road in an instant.
Russell, who was not far away, withdrew his gaze and frowned slightly.
He actually recognized these three young people who appeared out of nowhere. They were all descendants of well-known aristocratic families in Wimbledon. It was unexpected that they all had such a close relationship with Billier.
Is the "competition" they are talking about another new trend in their circle? (To be continued..)
