Two days later, the painted carriage finally rolled off the production line as a finished product.
This also marks the official completion of the first carriage at the Mercedes-Benz Carriage Factory.
"Don, let's do that advertisement you mentioned, let's do marketing!"
Archduke John said somewhat eagerly.
Tang Ping said calmly: "Just wait, wait until there is more inventory, and then I will ask Fabialo to help me repair the road."
Speaking of roads, Archduke John didn't understand.
Tang Ping asked some people to start building roads in an open space outside the carriage factory yesterday.
I originally thought that the road construction should be straight, but I didn't expect that although the road in Tang Ping has not been completed yet, it looks full of twists and turns.
Archduke John knew that riding in a carriage on this kind of road could knock people upside down.
He also asked Tang Ping why he did this, but Tang Ping just smiled and said it would be kept secret for the time being.
Archduke John had no choice but to hold it in his heart.
More and more carriages were leaving the factory, and the road was also repaired. Tang Ping found Archduke John and said, "Go to Porto and make an announcement. Just say that we are going to have a racing competition. The winner will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and a donkey." Brand fashion store’s permanent 10% discount, which can be stacked with other discounts.”
Now if you want to promote something to the nobles, going to Porto is more official than going to the capital. Not only are there many Visigoth nobles there, but also many nobles from neighboring countries come to shop.
"Car racing? One thousand gold coins?"
Archduke John was a little confused. He knew that Tang Ping's diamond jewelry was originally intended to be launched in a competition with Cole last time.
But this time we invite those nobles to participate in the racing competition. What does it have to do with selling their own cars?
Also, is the reward too high? If one thousand gold coins is nothing, then the permanent 10% discount at Lv Brand Fashion Store is a lot.
Many nobles may spend tens of thousands of gold coins on Donkey Card in a year. If they want to get married and need to buy a complete set of diamond jewelry or something, the amount will be far more than this.
However, he believed in Tang Ping unconditionally. When it came to doing business, he felt that Tang Ping was a god-like existence, and whatever Tang Ping said would be whatever he said.
Call the steward and ask him to go to Porto and spread the news about the racing competition held in Archduke John's territory.
"Carriage road racing? Can horse-drawn carriages still be used for racing?"
"Don't worry about this. Look who did this. But Grand Duke Tang and Grand Duke John, if they don't want to win, it would be fine just to show their face in front of Grand Duke Tang."
"And as a reward, there is a permanent 10% discount at Lv Brand Fashion Store. I just spent a lot in it yesterday, so I am losing money now."
"Haha, you sound like you can really win."
The nobles in Porto are a little excited. If everyone goes, the winner will have face.
Whether it's for fame or profit, these people feel they should go.
It was only when other nobles arrived that Archduke John discovered the shortcomings of his territory.
Because they did not receive a hotel like Porto, even these nobles who were used to staying in Porto hotels also complained.
Archduke John regretted it so much. He had known that he should have built a hotel first.
It was Tang Ping who reminded him that if such an event had not been held, there would not usually be so many nobles stationed in his territory.
But it's not that he can't build hotels in the future. He can hold a similar competition once a year, and he can even organize some other competitions.
For example, the current football matches at the Porto Hot Spring Resort Hotel are very popular among the aristocrats, but they watch instead of playing the matches themselves.
Tang Ping thought that he could set up some competitions like golf, bowling, and equestrian for them to kill the boring events of these nobles and make some money on the way.
According to what Archduke John's steward had initially announced in Porto, these nobles actually came with carriages.
Tang Ping saw that there were enough people, and then invited everyone to the competition site he had repaired.
This place was specially built for the competition, and there are stands next to it for watching the competition.
A nobleman looked at the venue below and asked curiously: "Is the competition here?"
Tang Ping nodded and said, "Of course, you see, this track simulates all the road conditions that you can encounter when traveling."
The track is more than three kilometers long, with ramps, curves, and bridges. Just for safety, there is no water under the bridge. Only two shallow pits were dug on the left and right and a thick layer of sand was laid inside.
Seeing that almost everyone had come, Tang Ping shouted with his loudspeaker: "Thank you everyone for coming to participate in the first Mercedes-Benz Cup Carriage Road Race. Because there are many people participating, we will draw lots into groups, with four carriages in each group. The winners continue to work in groups of four until the final winner is determined.”
"As long as you reach the finish line first along the way, you will win. Our only requirement is that everyone must be on their own horse-drawn carriage."
"What?"
"Do you have to be on the carriage yourself?"
At first, these nobles thought they could just ask the groom to drive the car, but they didn't expect that they would have to get in the car?
If they don't get on the carriage, they can give the coachman a death order and just run as fast as they can after starting. It doesn't matter whether the carriage is broken or not.
But if you want to get on the bus yourself, how many people dare to risk their lives like this? Although rewards are good, life is more important.
Archduke John stood up at this time: "We are originally simulating the road conditions that everyone may encounter when riding in the car. Of course, we have to be in the car."
"Of course, if you don't want to, just watch everyone's game from the spectator seats, that's okay."
These nobles looked at each other. Yes, they got into the car. Their own coachman couldn't run desperately, but the other party's driver didn't dare to run desperately either!
In this way, everyone is still on the same starting line. At that time, it will still depend on whose groom's skills are better and whose horse is better!
After thinking about this, these nobles all expressed their no opinion.
It would be quite exciting to think about it personally.
Archduke John's butler came out with a big box full of the same bamboo sticks.
Everyone will participate in the competition in whatever group they are drawn into.
There is also a scoreboard at the front with the number of each noble on it, and it is clear at a glance who has advanced and who has been eliminated.
"I'm in the second team!"
"I'm in the third group, but it's a pity that I can't beat you in the second group!"
"Haha, I just watched it. The winners of each of our groups 1, 2, 3, and 4 will compete in the next round. I think you should qualify from the third group first!"
"Same words to you!"
Before the game even started, the smell of gunpowder became much stronger.
This was the first time for these nobles to participate in such a competition in person, and they all started gearing up to prepare.
