Valley Emperor

After coming to Datang, he has no other hobbies, and likes to watch football games, especially those of the North Shore team.

In order to have money to watch football games, Edward, like other indigenous diplomats who came to Tang, began to think about making money.

How to get it?

Naturally, he still needs to rely on his status as a diplomat.

To this end, he wrote several letters and sent them back to England to his father, who asked him to help him set up a shop in London to sell novelties of Datang, mainly for high-end customers such as aristocrats and wealthy businessmen in England.

The source of the goods was that Edward himself ran around in Songjiang to watch, and strived to purchase more competitive and clearly differentiated goods, and then sent them back to London by diplomatic parcels.

All he buys are gadgets that look novel.

For example, he bought more than ten dolls from a toy store in Songjiang Prefecture and sent them back. He specially told his father that this is the most popular toy in Datang. Many powerful people in Datang will sell them to their children to play with. To expensive to buy.

Not to mention, these gadgets from Datang sell very well in London. The English, like the natives in other places, have no resistance to all kinds of things from Datang.

In particular, some of the things that Datang people themselves use are the best in their opinion.

But these things are rarely seen in Europe.

Although Datang maintains close commercial trade with Europe, this kind of trade is generally bulk trade. The commodities that Datang exports to Europe are mainly various traditional commodities, such as textiles, whether it is cotton, silk and cashmere. European sales are very good.

Then there are all kinds of weapons, and the people of the Tang Dynasty like to sell all kinds of weapons to the indigenous people.

There are also some industrial products, such as perfume, matches, kerosene and the like.

However, it is basically based on commodities.

As for some gadgets, the market for these things is very small, such as rag dolls. If you get dozens of them, you can sell them at a high price in London, but if you get hundreds or thousands of them, you will not be able to sell them for ten years...

Therefore, for those large-scale traders, they generally do not engage in these things, and they do not look down on this petty profit.

But Edward was different. He didn't want to do a big business, he just wanted to make some pocket money.

Not to mention, all kinds of novelty gadgets that Edward brought back are quite popular in London. After deducting the package fee and other expenses from the money, the father and son earn a cent, and Edward can also earn twenty or thirty tangs a month. Yuan.

All of a sudden, Edward's waist straightened up.

Don't panic if you have money in your hand. Recently, he would be there every North Shore team's game, and he would also buy various products of the North Shore team, such as walking ball equipment, walking balls, scarves and the like.

Edward became a real North Shore fan, even more die-hard than most local Datang fans in the North Shore Development Zone!

There are many reasons why Edward likes to watch football and to go to the field to watch.

In addition to liking the step ball itself, in fact, what he enjoys more is that when he is watching the ball, he can shout and cheer like other Datang fans around him, and the Datang fans around him will not be concerned that he is an Englishman. Will cheer with him.

How should I put it, when he is on the court, it will bring him a feeling, as if he has become a real Datang man, he has gained a sense of identity.

After coming to Datang for a long time, Edward also knew that the people of the Tang Dynasty were polite and respectful. Most people of the Tang Dynasty knew that Edward was an Englishman, and they would not show obvious contempt or ridicule. Politely nodded slightly, and some older ones would encourage him a word or two.

But this polite nod, this encouragement is only superficial.

Because what this reveals is that Edward seems to be a vulnerable group, they are pitying Edward...

This feeling made Edward very uncomfortable, and he sighed more than once. If he grew up in the Tang Dynasty, he would be a Tang person.

Unfortunately, he couldn't choose where he was born, and neither could his parents, so he was helpless.

Edward's mentality is also the common mentality of most of the natives who have had more contact with Datang. Although the specific performance may be different, they are generally similar.

In the end, they basically all have the same pursuit: to become a real Datang people!

Not only in life, but wearing these to get closer to the Datang people, but to get the nationality of Datang and become a real Datang people.

Edward chose Buqiu as an entry point to integrate himself into the Datang society. From this, it can be seen how popular Buqiu is in Datang.

This also further stimulated major companies to invest in the ball.

This gadget can not only bring the advertising effect of the brand, but also belongs to the excellent investment industry, so it is naturally sought after by the capital.

However, not all companies like to enter the sports industry. Zhongyuan Automobile Company, Qixiang Automobile Company and Songjiang Heavy Machinery Company, which are also in the automobile industry, do not have the same brand as Hangzhou Power Machinery Company.

Songjiang Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. does not need to advertise at all, because their customers are not ordinary consumers.

They are all production cars, and their flagship products are gasoline tractors and various construction excavators and bulldozers. These are not consumer-grade products at all.

Generally, those who buy these products are enterprises, or those large farms, and private individuals rarely buy these big things.

At the same time, the current output of their products is not large, and they have always been in a state of short supply, so they do not worry about sales at all.

As for Zhongyuan Automobile Company, they also planned to develop private cars at first, but it was a step too late. When they brought out the mature and available Zhongyuan luxury cars, the West Lake luxury cars of Hangzhou Power Machinery Company had already been bought all over the country.

Moreover, the contemporary private car market is already small. After West Lake luxury cars seized the market in advance, there is not much left for Zhongyuan Automobile Company.

But people are not sitting still!

There is no competition for private luxury cars. There is no market for ordinary private cars, so they directly shifted their target and started a truck~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Not to mention, they really made it happen!

In the autumn of 1941, after many tests, Zhongyuan Automobile Company officially launched a heavy-duty transport vehicle to the market, equipped with a twelve-horsepower twin-cylinder gasoline engine.

Although this engine is larger in size and weight, really speaking, its technical content is not as good as those used in private cars with only three or four horsepower.

The service life and other properties are also somewhat poor.

But this is not important, the important thing is that Zhongyuan Automobile Company has successfully found a car engine that can be mass-produced, and it is still at a relatively low cost.

It doesn't matter if the performance is worse, even if the shaking is so bad that it can't be loaded on a personal car, it doesn't matter, it can be used directly on the truck.

The wagon pulled by this 12-horsepower engine adopts the main mechanism of the carriage, adopts belt drive, rear-wheel drive, and also installs leaf springs and coil springs for shock absorption.
