What Ying Feiyu means is to build a large-scale factory and recruit workers to specialize in the production of bicycles.
Huang Yuan was a little worried.
Bicycles are not like steam tractors. The technology is in their hands and no one can imitate it.
At least in the past ten years, no one has been able to imitate it!
The bicycle has a simple structure and low cost. If someone wants to make it, it is really too simple.
As long as you buy one and take it apart, you will understand everything!
In this way, you spend a lot of money to build factories, canteens, dormitories, and recruit workers. You spend a lot of money, but in the end it helps others, and what should you do if it affects your own sales?
Logically speaking, he works under the prince. As long as the prince gives orders, he will do it!
But the prince was kind to him, and seeing that there were certain risks in this matter, he couldn't help but remind him!
"It doesn't matter...!"
However, Ying Feiyu smiled indifferently and seemed not to take it seriously at all, "Bicycles are cheap and very light. They are the best means of transportation. They will definitely be a must-have for every household in the future!"
"Now our Daqin has a population of at least 30 million. If there are five people for one bicycle, we have to make six million of them! At the current production speed, it is definitely not enough. Even if it is expanded ten times, it will only take one year to produce. It will take more than one million vehicles and six years to meet this demand!”
"Besides, there were many broken ones during the period that needed to be repurchased, and there were also wealthy families that needed one for each person. Calculating this, the demand is even greater, and it is simply not what a factory like Xianyang can supply. !”
"So in addition to Xianyang, we will also open branches in various counties in the future!"
"That's it! It may not be able to meet the needs of all the people in Daqin. It would be great if someone else could produce bicycles!"
Ying Feiyu had no intention of keeping the production of bicycles a secret.
If someone else makes a large number of bicycles, it can be regarded as benefiting the people and allowing them to ride bicycles!
"Oh, I see!"
Huang Yuan did some calculations in his mind and found that this was really the case.
Even if the current production speed is expanded ten times, it will not be able to meet the needs of the people of Qin for a while!
"But we still have to create our own brand and trademark. Otherwise, if anyone makes a substandard car, it will be said that it was made in this Prince's factory. If something goes wrong, we will not be held responsible!"
"Brands and trademarks?"
This time, Huang Yuan was confused again.
"That's right! It's a brand exclusive to our bicycles! Make another logo to symbolize this brand!"
Ying Feiyu explained briefly, but Huang Yuan still shook his head.
"Let's put it this way! We in Daqin have many kinds of wine, but are they Wuliangye? The name Wuliangye is equivalent to the brand!"
"Oh! I understand! Your Highness the Crown Prince wants to give our bicycle a name?"
After giving an example, Huang Yuan suddenly realized.
Just like there are many brothels in the city, not all of them can be called Li Chun Yuan!
"That's right! It's not just as simple as picking a name, but also asking Father to establish a special regulation! As long as it is a registered brand, others are not allowed to quote its trademark without authorization! Otherwise, they will be punished!"
"Well! Yes, this way, we can prevent someone from counterfeiting our products!"
"That's right! Our Daqin industry is in a period of development, and more brands will be born in the future. This law can protect everyone!"
In later generations, if nothing else, there are so many bicycle brands that it is dizzying.
If a special law had not been established, everything would have been in chaos!
"Then... I wonder what His Highness the Prince would like to name our bicycles?"
"Phoenix!"
Koshota blurted it out without even thinking about it.
Because in later generations, the little pedal car he rode for many years was a Phoenix brand.
In this era, Phoenix is a symbol of good luck and power, so this name is perfect!
"Phoenix...Phoenix?"
Huang Yuan looked timid, even afraid to speak out.
Everyone knows that the emperor is a dragon and the queen is a phoenix. How can it be used on a bicycle?
What if His Majesty and the Queen find out?
"That's right! It's called Phoenix Bicycle, and the logo will be drawn by this prince himself. Just wait for it to be produced!"
Ying Feiyu didn't think there was anything wrong at all, and even planned to draw the Phoenix bicycle trademark with his own hands.
"Uh...! Is this really okay?"
Huang Yuan subconsciously touched the cold back of his neck.
The day the bicycle leaves the factory is the day when your head is cut off, right?
"Haha! Don't worry, I am the prince, and the queen is my mother. There is absolutely no problem with using this name. I will go to my father to talk about this later!"
Seeing his subconscious movements and his gradually pale face, Ying Feiyu suddenly laughed.
Don't look at this Huang Yuan - he is usually rigid and makes all kinds of things in his mind all day long, but sometimes his thinking is really divergent, which is very interesting!
"call……!"
"Okay, okay, hey!"
After hearing this, Huang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded repeatedly, and smiled awkwardly.
When I heard the word "Phoenix" just now, I only thought about whether the Emperor would be angry, but I actually ignored that the Queen was the Crown Prince's biological mother.
As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince speaks, there will be no problem with this matter!
"The method of manufacturing bicycles is simple, and the craftsmen are well trained. Just find a reliable person to manage it. I, the Prince, have more important things to entrust to you!"
"Prince, please speak!"
After the embarrassment, Huang Yuan immediately collected his emotions and asked respectfully.
"Here is a drawing of a steam car. Take a look at it first!"
After speaking, Ying Feiyu ordered someone to find the drawings and hand them to Huang Yuan.
"Steam car?"
Looking at the drawings, Huang Yuan muttered in a low voice.
"Yes, this steam car has many similarities with a steam tractor. Can you take a look first and see if it can be made?"
"good……!"
Huang Yuan did not dare to be careless. He read through it carefully and nodded firmly, "The difference between a steam car and a tractor is not very big. It should be possible to build one!"
"Okay! I'll leave this matter to you!"
"Your Highness, please rest assured!"
Huang Yuan confidently held the drawings in his hands, returned to the factory, and led the craftsmen to start research.
After looking at the drawings, a group of experienced craftsmen felt that the core principle of the steam vehicle had not changed, but the appearance was different from that of the tractor, and more details were paid attention to.
Tractors are all about practicality, as long as you make a few modifications!
It is estimated that it will be researched out in less than half a year!
After the bicycle factory was on track, Huang Yuan handed it over to his nephew, Huang Zimo, to manage it.
This kid is rigorous in his work. He worked with him as a supervisor before, and then moved to the steel mill and train factory. Now he is a supervisor in the workshop.
I feel safe leaving the bicycle factory to him!
