The man said very enthusiastically: "The electric light costs ten taels of silver!"
"Ten taels of silver? Then why did you say it was thirty taels of silver? Isn't this a lie?"
Li Shimin asked.
"Why are you so anxious! Just listen to me! Don't jump to conclusions so quickly!"
The man said a little unhappy.
Why did I lie to you? You won’t listen to me!
His tone was a bit bad.
Li Shimin had never been so angry.
About to get angry.
Concubine Yang immediately whispered:
"Husband, let's listen to what this elder brother has to say!! Maybe there is something we don't know!"
After that, I grabbed him and made him go crazy. Otherwise, it will really end badly.
The man was very satisfied and said: "The main thing is to use electricity! The electricity bill is one hundred taels a day, no time limit, the monthly package is 20 taels, and the annual package is 20 taels, so add them together, the total is thirty taels! This annual package It’s more cost-effective, everyone will choose annual subscription, right?”
As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin finally understood.
Oh I see.
Also very shocked.
Li Min is really good at doing business.
A monthly and yearly subscription policy was introduced.
If you think about it this way, everyone wants to have it for a year.
Because if you spread it out, it’s cheap! If you buy a light bulb, you must use it, otherwise you won’t be able to afford the money you spent!
A small light bulb actually cost him thirty taels of silver.
Looking at the light bulb, it is really ordinary.
“Why is this electricity so expensive?”
Concubine Yang murmured.
Li Shimin also wanted to know why.
Men talk a lot.
Replied to them directly.
"Because of the cost, think about it, there are only a few wires in Chang'an City now. The Daming Palace occupies one, but there is nothing in other places. Just wiring will cost a lot of money. Now one The cost of electricians is extremely high, and they must be electricians assigned by Shengtang Group. So, these costs are included! Of course, if you don’t want to be so expensive, you can buy it later, and it will definitely become cheaper in the future, but , everyone has access to electricity, but you haven’t yet, even though we have the same economic strength, no one is happy!”
That being said, it makes sense.
The first person to eat the crab is a brave person, otherwise he is rich.
At the same time, everyone has a mentality of comparison. Everyone has it, and you can’t really explain it.
Li Min really understands consumer psychology!
Li Shimin asked again:
"What about the second year? How much does it cost?"
"I heard from Mr. Zili that when half of the people in Chang'an city use electric lights, the cost of electricity will drop to one tael of silver a year. If it reaches 78% of the time, it will be one tael of silver every ten years! How we are I long for the day when one tael of silver in ten years is really not much! Just five taels can last a lifetime!"
The man's words completely shocked Li Shimin.
These are the people who do business.
Li Min doesn't just make money for himself.
We should also think about people’s livelihood.
Not everyone has this kind of mind.
He asked again:
"What if the light breaks?"
"Broken? It doesn't exist! Things from the Shengtang Group are indestructible. If they are really broken, Mr. Zili even said that he would replace them with a new one for free! Free! Just like new!"
"I see!"
Li Shimin murmured.
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to steal the car! There are still a lot of electric lights, you can have them at any time!"
"car?"
"Yes, the trams are going to be sold today. I heard that there are only a thousand of them. The trams are much better than the previous ones. I heard that the power is several times that of the ones General Cheng bought before. During the Weishui flood, the car Mr. Zili drove was an improved version! It is said that it can be charged once every two days, but I heard that you have to draw lots to buy it! I have to hurry up!"
The man said a lot.
It's heart-wrenching to say.
At this time, Li Shimin looked at the number of people here, there must be more than a thousand.
As for five thousand and up.
Five thousand people competing for a thousand cars?
There seems to be so little supply.
"It's such a rare thing to live in. If you draw it, wouldn't you make a profit!?"
"This is the first batch. Everyone wants to try it! Are you willing to sell it if you really get it?"
The man asked back.
Li Shimin was speechless.
Yes, he won't sell.
If you really get it, open it yourself.
"Wait a minute, let me ask another question!"
"Tell me, what's the problem? I'm running out of time!"
"How much does a car cost?"
"One hundred thousand taels of silver!"
After the man finished speaking, he left.
If he had known that he was talking to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty just now, he would have been shocked to death.
"Your Majesty, this kid really knows how to do business."
Li Shimin didn't say anything. His flesh ached very much now.
At that time, he spent millions to buy three cars.
And the performance of this car doesn't seem to be very good.
You need to charge it once after walking all morning.
I heard the man say that today's cars can be charged once every two days.
Performance is better, and it's cheaper.
It feels a bit unpleasant to say anything.
Very jealous again.
"My dear concubine, why don't we also try to draw lots?"
Li Shimin said suddenly.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go to such trouble? Why don't I talk to Min'er and ask him to give us a car?"
"No, I want to try!!"
Li Shimin would not want Li Min's things.
Especially given as a gift.
Let’s talk about what you want.
This is what this person is like: others give you something, but you don’t want it.
I won’t give it to you, but you are rushing to get it.
Man is really a contradictory existence.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there are too many people here..."
"Isn't it better to have more people? No one knows our identities!"
"this……"
Concubine Yang wanted to say something else.
But he was pulled away by Li Shimin.
Followed behind the man.
The two squeezed into the crowd.
Until we arrived in front of a stage.
This is where the numbers are issued.
As soon as the man saw the two of them, he followed them.
Somewhat curious.
"You want a car too?"
he asks.
"correct!"
"Then pay a thousand taels here. After paying the money, someone will give you a number plate with a number on it. If you win the bid, they will notify you. After winning the bid, you pay the balance and you can pick up the car! But there are One thing you have to pay attention to is that if you win the bid and don’t buy it, the thousand taels will be gone.”
The man made it very clear and added a sentence at the end.
"Wish ya'll good luck!"
"Thank you!"
The two of them really met kind-hearted people.
Most people wouldn’t say it yet.
After that, the man took the number plate and left.
Li Shimin took out a thousand tael silver note from his arms.
He handed the banknote to the staff on the stage.
Soon, he got a number plate numbered 6581.
Looking at the number plate, Li Shimin was in a daze.
So there are more than 6,000 people competing for 1,000 cars!
Looking behind him, there were dozens of platforms.
As a result, there are far more people competing than this number.
That was surprisingly hot.
