Chapter 201 The Wright Sisters
There is a river flowing across the south of Hecheng, and on the south bank of the river is the industrial area of Hecheng.
Ovile Wright brought Charles back to his home soon.
Like many family workshops, Owele's house is facing the street. The upper floor of the storefront is where she and her sister Wilber Wright live. Behind the storefront is a yard, and the innermost part of the yard is the workplace.
The main and back doors of the facade are open, and there are no elves in the facade.
Ovell directly rode his bicycle and rushed into the yard with Charles. He stopped in front of the workshop and shouted to the workshop: "Sister, I have started a big business!"
After a while, the elves walked out in the workshop. The elves who walked out looked older than Oveer. She was wearing a coarse shirt and suspender work pants like Oveer. The difference was that her clothes were covered with oil and other stains.
Before she could speak, Oweier, who had jumped out of the car, said to her: "Sister, this customer wants to buy our bicycle."
Then she said to Charles: "This is my sister, Wilber. If you have any technical requirements for the car you want to buy, just tell her."
Viaber understood the current situation and said to Charles: "Please wait for a while in front of me, and I will change my clothes."
Charles followed Oveel to the storefront and waited. After Viaber reached the second floor, he quickly changed into clean clothes, and the bun that was originally tied on his head also scattered.
Wilber held a sharpened charcoal pen and asked Charles, who was sitting opposite the table: "What are the requirements for the bicycle?"
Charles took the tea handed over by Oveel and said, "The bike I want to buy is for women. Your bike is obviously not friendly to women wearing skirts."
Artoria rode the back frame of the 28th bar and carried the scene of Modred passing through the streets and alleys in the Knowledge City flashed through his mind. This style was a bit weird.
Oveer scratched the back of his head, "That's right, we haven't worn skirts for many years..."
Virber thought for a moment and said, "Then you can move the upper tube down..."
Soon, a sketch of a lady's bicycle appeared on the parchment in front of her.
"Well..." Charles nodded, "I think this should be OK."
He came over just now in the car and felt that the car was still very bumpy. There were some side effects when a girl rode, so he said again: "Can you consider the shock absorption of the car?"
He pointed to the tires on the sketch and said, "For example, the tires are hollow, which can both reduce weight and avoid shock."
Vilber shook his head, "This is a bit difficult, because the wear resistance of slime glue is not very good, and it is easy to get worn out after riding for a long time."
"Wait a minute, let me think about it." After saying that, Charles leaned against the chair and closed his eyes, then landed on the dream platform in the Kingdom of Rurik.
After finding a post about slime glue research by Veldrava that he read not long ago, he quit the platform.
Charles told Wilber: "There are wear-resistant slime glue, but that is the technology of the Kingdom of Lürik."
Weiber frowned, "That would take a lot of time, but this problem is worth the time to solve."
Oweier asked, "Sir, who is in this technology?"
Charles raised his eyebrows and planned to go all the way to work on technology. It seemed that the sisters were ambitious. He asked, "Do you want to mass-produce bicycles?"
Oveel replied: "Yes, I'm going to go to His Royal Highness today to sell her bicycles. I think bicycles work very well in war."
Charles was stunned, and a picture appeared in his mind: several scouts were riding bicycles in front of the team, behind them were officers riding horses and infantrymen on foot...
Ma Dan, this style is too prosperous, right? Isn’t it the Japanese who entered the village... Charles finally found the problem.
Charles shook his head and threw away the image that came with the bgm, and then said, "Even if His Royal Highness the Princess has a crush on the bicycle, you two can't produce it in large quantities, right?"
"Uh..." The Wright sisters were a little embarrassed now.
Charles saw that they wanted to invest in Elizabeth.
But this is not a matter of business. Bicycles are a sunrise industry in this world. Whether it is for civil or military purposes, let alone the development of tricycles and motorcycles in the future. These are industries worth investing in.
So Charles took out two photos from the storage ring and placed them on the desktop.
The camera was made by several elves last year, and Charles took a photo with Victoria and Elizabeth.
This was what he used on credit if he had no money when he had eaten.
"Actually I know Her Majesty the Queen and His Highness the Princess." Charles said, "I am the princess' apprentice."
"Ah?!" Sisters Wright opened their cherry mouth wide in surprise.
"Charles..." Ovell remembered Charles' introduction, "So you are Charles McGarden! The Charles McGarden who killed hundreds of fishmen alone!"
"It's me." Charles nodded.
Then Ovell's golden eyes were almost lit. In her eyes, Charles was the key to opening His Royal Highness the Princess and even Her Majesty the Queen's vault.
"His Excellency McGarden..." Oveer's voice suddenly became sweet.
"Stop!" Charles quickly stopped Oweier.
He had already seen that among these two sisters, Wilber, is a technical person, and his external contact was based on his younger sister Oweier.
He continued, "I'll just say it, I'm very optimistic about the bicycle industry, so I want to invest."
How could he miss this kind of good thing that is similar to investing in Ma in 1998 and investing in Ma in 1999?
"Then how much do you want to invest and how much share do you want to occupy?" Oweier's expression became serious. We have to say this first.
Charles thought about it and cooperated with a long-lived elves, which was a long-term investment. Not only himself, but even his descendants who had no shadow could benefit. For this reason, he didn't mind giving up some of the benefits.
He said: "We cooperated to set up a company, and I paid for money, connections and some technology, and my family wanted 50% of the shares."
Wilber: "Technology?"
Oweier: "Contacts?"
The sisters didn't think Charles had much technology to provide to them, but his connections were still OK. But even so, they felt that Charles' requirements were a bit high, after all, they would be their sisters who were exhausted by the time they were.
Charles saw their doubts and said, "I have a wide connection, and you know the relationship between the queen and the princess and me. In the future, our products will always be sold outside the sea of elves. Nicholas II of the Kingdom of Rurik is my uncle, my grandfather, Duke Redkin is planning the throne, the prince of the Kingdom of Visma is my distant cousin, and King Bisberg's favorite daughter is my friend's tenant, and the forging temple gives me some face. Ms. Lef of the Super Viagra consortium has a good relationship with me... They can all help us."
He had used "we", so he didn't believe that the Wright sisters could not see the interests behind this, and this interests would definitely make these sisters with some ambitions moved.
Then he said, "Or don't know, my ancestor was Philip, and I still have some family traditions."
Charles didn't know that his ancestors had appeared a while ago, and the person involved kept the matter secret, otherwise he wouldn't dare to play like this.
The Wright sisters asked Charles to wait here, and they wanted to go upstairs to discuss.
So Charles drank tea alone at the storefront, and from time to time he looked at the small workshop, which mainly focuses on making and repairing vehicles.
Suddenly, a model placed on the corner head caught Charles' attention.
Charles smiled, it seemed that he had really found a treasure this time.
After a while, the Wright sisters got off the upstairs.
Viaber extended his hand to Charles, "Happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!" Charles put his hand on her hand.
"Happy cooperation!" Ovell also reached out and put it on Charles's hand.
Mark Rose Bicycle Company was established, and Charles immediately wrote a check of 500,000 Elf Dollar as the company's registration and start-up capital. When the Wright sisters went to the business tomorrow to get the company done, and then after discussing the details with the broker Charles hired, the money on the check will be transferred to the company's account.
The money seems to be very large, but an Aure gold coin in the north is about 2,000 elves. The price offered by a certain sucker to Harkala was almost ten times that.
Although someone has money at home, he has never tried the kind of thing that can cost him millions at once. After all, the family's money must be used for family affairs, and his personal affairs can only be used to his part of the annuity that is distributed in the family's profit every year.
It is something that only prodigal sons will do for private matters.
At Charles' suggestion, in the next six months, the Wright sisters' task was to buy corresponding technology in the Kingdom of Lürik with the introduction letter written by Charles to their uncle, and at the same time began to design and produce the company's first generation products - the VF-0 "Phoenix" Women's Bicycle and the VF-1 "Valkyrie" military bicycle.
Half a year later, Charles will decide whether to continue to cooperate and invest additionally depending on the situation of the prototype.
After deciding these things, the sunset had already climbed the sky.
Only then did Oveer remember to prepare dinner, and hurriedly wanted to prepare a big meal. Vilber sat there in a daze, she had no intention of helping. It seemed that she was not good at cooking.
