Chapter 437 Buying a Car on Loan! Mo City!
A moment later, inside the city lord's mansion.
"Lord City Lord, the bicycle feels amazing after your optimizations!"
The girls were all around 1.7 meters tall, but yesterday they felt a little awkward riding Xiao Yu's bicycle.
There were also issues with brake malfunction and steering wheel rotation, but today, all of them have been resolved.
"Yes, there are no problems for now," Honglian nodded in agreement. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Brother, can this bicycle... be promoted throughout the city?"
She was in charge of coordinating the entire Dragon City, and had to oversee all matters, big and small.
Seeing everyone running to and from get off work, even to the cafeteria, takes half an hour.
The red-haired girl felt that this was not a long-term solution.
“Of course, mass production will begin tomorrow,” Xiao Yu said with a smile.
The bicycles that Honglian and her friends are riding are still in the testing phase.
The tests are all done and there are no problems. Mass production should begin tomorrow.
He had already asked A Qiu and the others, and at the current speed, they could produce more than 10 vehicles a day.
Xiao Yu then asked Chu Ling Shuang to arrange a group of blacksmiths for them to help out.
We expect to produce 10 vehicles tomorrow! Once we're more proficient, we can do it even faster.
"And what about the price?" the red-haired girl asked again.
"1000 yuan!" Xiao Yu said directly, the price that had been agreed upon beforehand.
"Oh? Isn't it too expensive?" Honglian gave a wry smile.
She had already sensed it in her heart.
Such sophisticated vehicles are obviously expensive to build.
However, if it's a thousand yuan...
"Yes, Lord City Lord, not many people can afford this," Chu Ling Shuang said with concern.
After all, most ordinary people in Longcheng only earn 30-50 yuan a month.
This was because Longcheng was developing better and better, and Xiao Yu gave everyone a raise.
Even so, one thousand yuan is still several years' salary for most people.
"Don't worry!" Xiao Yu smiled mysteriously, raising an eyebrow as he said, "We can let them take out a loan to buy it."
"A loan?" The women frowned slightly and tilted their heads to look at Xiao Yu.
What strange things is the city lord saying again? They can't understand a word he's saying.
"hehe."
Seeing the women's reactions, Xiao Yu shook his head with amusement and explained, "It's very simple! Anyone who has worked in Longcheng for at least a month and earns more than 30 yuan a month can buy a car with a down payment of 100 yuan..."
"You can buy it for 100 yuan? Do we still have to pay the rest?" the women asked in confusion.
"Of course you have to pay! The remaining 900 yuan can be paid in installments over a year, with only a 1% handling fee on the total amount. That means you'll actually have to pay 1010 yuan!"
If you pay in two years, there will be a 2% handling fee; if you pay in three years, there will be a 3% handling fee.
In short... it just keeps increasing like this; the longer the settlement period, the higher the interest!
"Lord City Lord, isn't this a bit...?"
After hearing Xiao Yu's explanation, the women finally understood, but they all looked at him suspiciously.
I have a feeling that there's something wrong with the city lord's strategy.
But what exactly is the problem? They have no idea. They don't understand any of these intricacies.
"Ahem..." Faced with the women's questions, Xiao Yu could only cough dryly and explain:
"I did this to encourage them to work hard. As long as they work hard and their work efficiency increases, their income will increase, and they will be able to pay off their debts quickly..." After these people paid off their debts, he invented trains and even bicycles.
"Well, in any case, everyone can afford it."
Three days later, at the City Lord's Mansion.
"Brother, the bicycles have been distributed." Honglian handed a form to Xiao Yu.
The newly opened bicycle workshop has already produced more than 30 bicycles.
Moreover, the current daily production has reached 15 vehicles! The monthly production exceeds 400 vehicles!
Chenlong, Tienan, and other high-ranking officers of the Dragon City defense forces were the first to receive their own vehicles.
Xiaoyu, Yingzi, and other middle and upper-level women, as well as the heads of various workshops, each had a car.
Moreover, the city defense troops and middle and high-ranking officers are provided free of charge by the city lord's mansion, which can be considered a kind of benefit.
However, for the lower-level employees of Longcheng, one thousand yuan is a lot.
However, even those in the middle and upper management positions earn at least a few hundred yuan.
With additional commission income, many people earn over a thousand yuan a month.
"Hmm." Xiao Yu nodded slightly, took the form, and glanced at it casually.
The table shows the registration information for these one hundred bicycles.
If you look closely, you'll find that each bicycle has a unique serial number.
Numbers 1-30, each followed by the recipient's identity information.
This was Xiao Yu's way of preventing anyone from stealing bicycles or selling them privately.
It must be said that having bicycles has greatly improved everyone's work efficiency.
The biggest change, naturally, is in city defense.
The four walls of Longcheng have always been under a system of responsibility.
The north side of the city wall is the closest to the city lord's mansion.
Therefore, Xiao Yu entrusted the defense of this city wall to his pets.
Anyway, he now has more than a dozen pets, and he takes turns having several of them patrol every day.
If anyone were to come up from the north city wall, they would certainly be attacked by a seventh-tier spirit beast.
The south side of the city wall.
Xiao Yu entrusted the more than one hundred orcs under Niu Dali's command to guard the area, and paid each of them a salary.
These one or two hundred orcs were quite strong, much stronger than the overall Dragon City defense force.
Although Dragon City has grown larger now, with them guarding the south city wall, it's still manageable.
Then, the east and west city walls.
It was mainly guarded by the city's garrison.
More than 100 people are divided into three shifts to take turns on duty and patrol.
The special operations teams, including Chenlong and Tienan, are mobile units and do not have fixed locations.
They are not only highly combat-effective but also highly mobile, and must provide support to various parts of Dragon City at any time.
Previously, because Dragon City suddenly grew larger, each city wall was more than ten kilometers long.
The city walls on the east and west sides stretch for a total of fifteen kilometers!
This made it extremely difficult for the city's defense force, which consisted of only a little over a hundred men, to hold the city.
After all, the city garrison soldiers are also human and need rest.
Normally, there are three shifts, and people also take leave to rest.
Therefore, the fixed city defense troops stationed there for a long time actually numbered only about 50 people!
In addition, the inconvenient transportation has exacerbated the manpower shortage problem.
But now, the situation is completely different.
With bicycles available, people rode them at high speed along the city wall, which was much faster than running.
“Brother, Sixi just said something.” Honglian thought of the message she had just received from Rabbit-Eared Girl and reported it to Xiao Yu: “She found out about another big city, which might be of interest to you.”
"Oh? What city?" Xiao Yu turned his head curiously.
"Mo City!"
The red-haired girl recalled what the rabbit-eared girl had said and explained, "It is said that the people there also received ancient inheritances and learned very powerful mechanical arts, turning the entire city into a huge mechanical contraption!"
"Mo City? Mechanical arts?"
