Shi Qingluo looked at the impatient expressions of the others and understood them.
After all, few men didn’t love cars.
A bicycle was also a car.
When she first rode a bicycle, she also liked it.
“If you can be sure not to reveal the method of making a bicycle, you can find more craftsmen to make it.”
“In this way, in a few days, all of your bicycles can be made together.”
The reason why this one took more than ten days was mainly because it was the first one, and it was made after repeated modifications many times.
With experience, the next one will be faster.
Liang Youxiao said: “We agreed before that I want to open a bicycle workshop, so I will find more reliable craftsmen to learn.”
This bicycle was more useful than he thought before. If it was made and sold, as long as the family was not so tight on money, nine out of ten people would want to buy one.
Especially for those who don’t have a horse carriage or ox cart at home, this was very convenient for transportation.
Unless the horse carriage was running fast, the speed of the bicycle was faster than the horse carriage, not to mention the ox cart.
Shi Qingluo had no objection: “Okay, go find it.”
Liang Youxiao had agreed with her that this time, as before, she would be given dividends every month.
Xi Rui put his hand on Liang Youxiao’s shoulder: “Old Liang, I will also invest in your bicycle business.”
The word “invest” was said by Shi Qingluo, which means to invest money or take out a money-making method, and then get dividends every month.
He felt that this bicycle would definitely be a hot seller, and the supply would definitely exceed the demand in the early stage.
Although, he had received a lot of silver and good things from his grandmother and mother recently.
But his cousins in the family were jealous behind his back and complained a lot.
Even his two sisters-in-law had some complaints.
He was not happy, so he wanted to earn some money to save himself the trouble.
Xi Rong also said: “Yes, I will invest in it too.”
Fei Yuzhe and Qi Yiyang also said hurriedly: “We also want to invest in it.”
Among their group, only Liang Youxiao, Shi Qingluo, Xiao Hanzheng, and Xi Rong were not short of money, and the rest of them were poor.
Liang Youxiao rolled his eyes: “You are targeting me!”
“What can you bring to invest? I have already laid out the stall in the early stage, and you guys are too lazy to death. In the end, I still have to take care of everything myself.”
Xi Rui thought for a while and said: “We have rubber!”
“What can you do with the rubber your family gave you? It’s not enough. I can get my share from home and give it to you to make a bicycle.”
“My uncle’s family is big in Jiangnan. If our bicycles are sold to Jiangnan, my uncle’s family can cover it.”
Hearing this, Liang Youxiao was tempted.
After all, there will not be enough rubber at the beginning. It was probably a drop in the bucket to rely on the little he gets from home.
“Okay, then, as you said, you will use all the rubber you can get to make bicycles for me.”
“Each of you can provide a few other places that can be dealers. When we open branches, I will give each of you a share.”
“You don’t have to worry about it. I will take full responsibility and give you dividends every month.”
With such a large market and profit, he can’t handle it alone.
When the time comes, even those people at home will be jealous when they see the booming business.
What if other big families outside want to grab the business?
Naturally, he can’t compete with his strength. If he lets the Duke’s Mansion help him, he will be forced to share the profits with other families. He doesn’t feel happy about it.
He can’t stand being involved in business and money with his family.
In this case, it would be better to agree to Xi Rui and others to invest.
After all, these people have big backgrounds. They jointly opened a business dealership. Except for the Emperor, who dares to touch it?
Whoever moves will have his claws chopped off.
When Xi Rui and the others heard Liang Youxiao’s agreement, they all smiled with satisfaction, “Old Liang, you are right.”
“Our dividends are not taken for nothing, and we will make sure that others dare not touch the business dealership.”
In aristocratic families, as long as they were not the kind of dandy who was completely useless, no dandy was completely stupid.
Xi Rui and the others naturally knew one of the reasons why Liang Youxiao agreed, which was inseparable from their family background.
This was also the condition they put forward for their investment.
The relationship between the several people was good, to begin with, and now they were directly on the same boat.
As for Qi Yiyang, he was just thick-skinned recently and followed them on the boat.
He was very excited inside, and he would no longer be restricted by his family in terms of money in the future.
And when the time comes, seeing how prosperous their business dealership is, the other members of the family will probably be jealous to death.
Before, they deliberately mocked him for being less and less promising and hanging out with Xi Rui and other dandies.
After that, he would enjoy the change of faces of those people.
The more he thought about it, the better he felt, and he wished that the business would start immediately.
After Xiao Hanzheng came back from the academy, the few people looked at the bicycle reluctantly again and again and didn’t know how many times they turned their heads before leaving.
They kept emphasizing that they would come back to ride tomorrow.
Xiao Hanzheng had a lot of things to do in the Hanlin Academy, so he basically had to leave the house on time.
Qi Yiyang’s work was relatively leisurely, and he could occasionally skip work in the afternoon.
Mainly because he was the son of the Duke’s Mansion, his superiors also turned a blind eye.
After dinner, Shi Qingluo pushed the bicycle out.
“Old Xiao, you come and try. After they build their bicycles and take them away, I will also make one for you to ride to the academy.”
Xiao Hanzheng was naturally interested in bicycles: “Okay!”
So after Shi Qingluo demonstrated a lap, he got the hang of it.
He learned faster than Xi Rui.
Shi Qingluo sighed again that the boss was the boss.
Xiao Hanzheng rode a few laps and stopped, pointing to the back: “Can I take someone behind?”
Shi Qingluo smiled and said: “Smart!”
“In the future, when you go out and don’t take a carriage, you can take me with you on the bicycle.”
In the future, she will also be a girl who laughs while sitting on a bicycle……
Xiao Hanzheng smiled and nodded: “Okay!”
The two rode for a while and returned to the yard when it was almost dark.
In the next few days, Xi Rui and others came to Xiao Family’s house to ride bicycles every day.
Liang Youxiao sent over a dozen more craftsmen, and Shi Qingluo arranged for them to be responsible for the manufacturing and processing of a part, and then the first batch of craftsmen would assemble it.
The first batch were craftsmen who had signed a death contract in each prefecture, and their family members were also working in each prefecture, so it was not easy to bribe them to betray.
The ones recruited later only signed a living contract, so they could not be allowed to participate in the whole process for the time being.
After a few days, all the bicycles of Xi Rui and his friends were built.
The few people couldn’t wait, and they changed into their clothes and rode to the street to show off.
Xi Rong also liked to have fun and show off, so she rode one and followed.
Shi Qingluo didn’t go, she was a married person, and she didn’t like to show off.
Sure enough, when Xi Rui and his friends rode their bicycles out, they looked very eye-catching on the street.
Everyone would stare at them in surprise and curiosity wherever they passed.
They even asked each other what was.
They were the most beautiful guys in the capital today.
