Valley Emperor

Qixiang brand two-wheeled bicycles mainly focus on concepts such as youth, technology, and fashion, but they are not means of transportation.

Because no one, not even the rich, would buy a two-wheeled vehicle of this year as a means of transportation. After this thing was launched on the market, the price reached 2,600 Tang Yuan.

This thing, to put it bluntly, is a luxury accessory.

If you don't play tricks and let those rich people pay, then basically don't expect to be able to sell.

Hangzhou Power Machinery Co., Ltd.'s West Lake brand cars, and Zhongyuan Automobile Co., Ltd.'s Zhongyuanpai automobiles, the cars they launch are all luxury, comfortable, advanced and other concepts, and the potential customers are those super rich.

It is impossible to compete with these two companies in the luxury car market, and even Zhongyuan Automobile is now in trouble because they have been slow to come up with a large-scale gasoline engine that can be mass-produced.

Therefore, Li Yubo's plan is very simple, that is, to target the young rich, or more accurately the children of the rich.

These people are young, rich, fashion-conscious, and exciting.

In daily life, they would also ride in some luxury carriages, but they would often ride top-notch Jurong horses through the city, or simply engage in those two-wheeled high-speed carriages.

Li Yubo's initial positioning of customers is such a group of people.

After officially withdrawing from the market, the market's response was much better than Li Yubo's expected response. As soon as it was launched and accepted for reservations, more than 50 orders have already been received.

At first glance, the number of orders seems to be small, but this is a car that sells for more than 2,000 tang yuan, and the order value of 50 vehicles is already more than 100,000 tang yuan.

Although the number of 50 vehicles is much less than the order of more than 2,000 vehicles of Hangzhou Power Machinery Company, he believes that if he continues to work hard, the market will become bigger and bigger.

Sure enough, in the next month, dozens of orders were successively received, and the total number of orders exceeded 100.

At this time, Li Yubo was relieved.

If this trend continues, the civilian market will have larger orders than the military market. Also more profitable.

Although the military has ordered 300 vehicles one after another, these orders are to some extent one-off orders, and the military will not order a second time on a large scale in a short period of time.

The private market has been developing and will become larger and larger.

Just when Li Yubo came up with a two-wheel gasoline car and officially launched it on the market, it also means that there are already two cars in the Datang Empire that use gasoline as a dye.

This situation has also attracted the attention of several major domestic oil companies.

These cars burn gasoline, and gasoline is a product of petroleum refining.

Although so far, and even in the next few years, the overall market size of gasoline is unlikely to be too large, but after all, this represents a development direction in the future.

For this reason, many oil companies have noticed this.

The most important should belong to the Imperial Oil Company.

At present, there are eight oil companies in the Datang Empire. These eight oil companies have obtained all complete licenses for various oil-related industries. They own oil fields, refineries, and sales channels.

However, the development is different. In the last two years, although the business growth of Imperial Oil Company is also very fast, compared with other peers, it is a little worse.

At present, the main business of oil companies is to refine and sell kerosene.

At present, the kerosene market in the empire is very huge, and the potential is also very large.

But this potential can only be said to be the rural market, because the urban market has basically been developed. In order to compete for the kerosene market, major oil companies have already lowered prices many times to compete.

Since last year, the rural kerosene market has become the main driving force for market growth.

However, because the Imperial Oil Company is relatively late in the layout of the rural market, this late step has caused them to lag behind in the rural market.

In the vast rural kerosene market of the Empire, Imperial Oil Company can't even occupy five percentage points, which directly affects their market growth.

It is already very difficult to continue to expand the rural market, and the investment will be very large, which makes the senior management of Imperial Oil Company quite helpless.

And now the car appears, let them see a brand new market.

"According to the data analysis of our company's planning department, in the next five years, the price of cars may drop by 50% or even 130% below the current level, which means that the market for cars will further increase."

"Not just the private market, but more importantly the industrial market and heavy machinery!"

"Although there are no various types of construction machinery powered by gasoline engines, Songjiang Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. is already developing tractors powered by gasoline engines, and this product has been widely optimistic about all parties. Once the research and development is successful, the potential intention There are at least tens of thousands of orders!"

"And in other engineering fields, the market for gasoline engines will also be huge!"

"Even the navy has begun to study gasoline-engine-powered battleships!"

"Therefore, the Planning Department infers that the gasoline market will show explosive growth within five years. Although the overall scale is still relatively small, the gasoline market will grow to surpass the kerosene market in ten or twenty years!"

"In the previous rural kerosene market, our company was already one step behind others. This time we must not be behind others. We even have to go one step further and plan ahead!"

"As long as we deploy ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ in five years, the gasoline market will become our company's biggest business growth point in ten years!"

At the internal high-level meeting of the Imperial Oil Company, the management of the Imperial Oil Company, who was unwilling to vote, was already full of hearts and wanted to vote.

Soon, they set up a special gasoline research laboratory to study gasoline-related technologies, including how to extract higher-quality gasoline, how to improve the conversion rate of petroleum-refined gasoline, and other related technologies.

At the same time, they also directly found a few domestic automobile companies, Hangzhou Power Machinery Company, Zhongyuan Automobile Company, Songjiang Heavy Machinery Company, Wuchang Qixiang Automobile Company and so on.

Collaborate strategically with them to introduce more convenient gasoline purchases for their respective car customers.

And began to build gas stations in many cities to meet the needs of car users.

For Imperial Oil's aggressive move, other oil companies are watching, and most of them are following up, but the follow-up efforts are still not so great.
