“I don’t think they should be imitating the products of Michelin rubber workshops directly there.

If such a despicable thing is heard by His Royal Highness, it will definitely cause great trouble.

When His Highness the Crown Prince established the Royal Patent Office of the Tang Dynasty, it was essentially to protect the technologies of each company.

Nowadays, whether it is the rubber wheel or the seals used on the steam engine, we are all products developed by ourselves.

"Hope not, but who knows what trouble will happen later!"

Michelin sighed, shook his head, threw the mess aside, and began to join Wang Heng's research.

...

"Husband, the situation is what I just said. Do you have any good suggestions?"

During dinner, Cheng Jingwen rarely didn’t “don’t talk”, but after picking up the order, she started talking to Li Kuan.

Fortunately, when eating, Li Kuan always asked Cheng Jingwen and Wu Meiniang to tell this and that, so Cheng Jingwen's performance was nothing.

"This is very simple. There are so many places where we need to use rubber products in Datang.

In addition to the rubber rain boots prepared to be purchased by the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty and the raincoats prepared to be produced by the Yuchi Cheng rubber workshop, there is still a huge space for transportation alone.

For example, our Mercedes-Benz four-wheeled carriage has already had new mechanisms such as suspension leaf springs, and the comfort has been greatly improved.

But overall, there are still some areas worth further improvement.

In the future, we can add several rubber support pads to the connection between our carriage compartment and the frame, which can further improve the shock absorption performance of the carriage.

At the same time, we can install the glass on the top of the car. In order to avoid water leakage, rubber strips are needed around the glass to wrap the glass.

Not only that, rubber strips can be added to maintain better sealing, sound insulation and waterproofing around the door.

In this way, the demand for rubber on each carriage alone is already a very large number."

While eating, Li Kuan gave Cheng Jingwen some advice.

The rubber industry is a very important industry in the national economy in later generations.

The industry that uses the most rubber is the transportation industry.

Whether it is rubber tires or various seals, rubber strips, and rubber application scenarios are far beyond everyone's imagination.

"Insert a glass on the carriage, and the light in the carriage suddenly became much better.

But if you do this, will it really not leak?"

Although Cheng Jingwen was very happy after hearing Li Kuan's words, she was a little worried.

"If it is leaking, it depends on whether the sealed glue strips are made well.

Because our glass cannot be opened and closed, it is equivalent to a fixed glass, so the difficulty of waterproofing is not very high."

The reason why some brands of products leaked from time to time in later generations was that these sunroofs can still be moved.

A sunroof that cannot be opened or closed is naturally completely different from a movable sunroof.

“If the problem of leaks can be solved, then the skylight is really a good thing.

In the moving carriage, once the curtain is lowered, the light inside is actually not very good.

But it is not so convenient and safe to light whale oil candles.

If we launch a four-wheeled carriage with a sunroof at this time, it will definitely be sought after by the market."

Wu Meiniang, who had never spoken, expressed her opinion next to her.

Since Li Kuan became the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Meiniang's perspective and attitude towards some issues have also changed.

Especially before, Li Kuan asked someone to give up his participation in tobacco cultivation and gave all the profits there to others, which gave Wu Meiniang a more accurate guess about Li Kuan's thoughts.

"After spring, my father should consider preparing for a southern tour. Although he spent most of his time on boats along the way, there must be times when using a carriage.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, we simply found ways to create several specially made new carriages within a month.

Don’t worry about spending too much money on this kind of four-wheeled carriage, as the wool can be earned back when the sheep comes from it.”

With the spokesperson Li Shimin as a helping sell goods, Li Kuan is full of confidence in the future sales of new carriages in the Mercedes-Benz four-wheeled carriage workshop.

"This idea is a good idea. I heard that the Michelin rubber workshop is working on a wheel that has better shock absorption than the rubber wheels used now.

We can ask them to provide us with a batch of samples as soon as possible for confirmation. If they can be directly used on the four-wheeled carriage specially made for His Majesty, it will be a great contribution."

Cheng Jingwen was very happy to throw out a new news she learned.

The new luxury carriage has modified the structure of the car, the wheels, and the suspension shock absorption system has been upgraded.

In this way, it will be inevitable that the selling price will rise.

Anyway, people who can afford this level of carriage are not short of those dozens of cents of money.

"Well, I asked Wang Fugui to follow up on this new luxury carriage during this period, and must at least complete the production of the prototype car before his father goes on a tour."

Li Kuan is not just trying to flatter him now.

He really feels that some products are indeed lacking in publicity, otherwise the situation will definitely not be like this.

...

"Aye, during this period, the Yuchi family and the Cheng family jointly established a Yuchi Cheng rubber workshop. This workshop not only poached people from the Rubber Research Institute of Guanshishan Academy, but also extended its tentacles to the Michelin rubber workshop.

And Wang Fugui, who is beside Li Kuan, has been frequently entering and leaving the Yuchi Cheng rubber workshop these days, so what should be the cooperation between the two parties?"

In Changsun’s mansion, Changsun Chong reported to Changsun Wuji on the information he had collected and sorted.

"I read the report on the Economic Daily that because the rubber from Nanyang has been much more than in previous years, the price of rubber has dropped by more than 20%?"

Changsun Wuji did not follow the rhythm of Changsun Chong's conversation, but controlled the scene in just a few strokes.

“To be precise, it is because the rubber trees that everyone planted in Southeast Asia are now ready to be harvested.

Therefore, the amount of rubber to Chang'an City in the future should be significantly increased compared to last year.

Although Datang's research on rubber is progressing rapidly, many products have begun to use rubber products.

However, after the news of rubber production in Nanyang came back, people were not so optimistic about the future price trend of rubber."

Changsun Chong explained the situation a little.

Changsun Wuji knew some things, but some things were not in his hands.

"If I remember correctly, the planting scale of the Yuchi family's rubber plantation and the Cheng family's rubber plantation in Nanyang should be among the best, right?

Could it be that they set up a rubber workshop this time to consume more rubber products and don’t want to watch its price jump up there.”

Although Changsun Wuji doesn't like Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin very much, everyone is acquaintance, and some basic movements are relatively clear.

If you really don't know anything, you can just ask.

"The possibility that Aye said is completely there, and it is even likely that it is like this.

But I heard that Wang Fugui, who was around Li Kuan, was also involved in this matter. He has frequently met with Yuchi Hui and Cheng Chu in the past few days."

Although Changsun Chong's wings were already hard, he would not quarrel with him with Aye stupidly.

"What do you mean is that there is the idea of ​​the East Palace behind this Yuchi Cheng rubber workshop?"

Changsun Wuji attaches great importance to anything related to Li Kuan.

"Yes, so I think the East Palace is so fond of rubber workshops. Can our Changsun family also open a rubber workshop and make a batch of parts according to the sample.

Otherwise, if the application scenario of rubber is further expanded in the future, it will be very difficult for the Changsun family to enter such a field."

Changsun Chong couldn't help but put forward his own proposal.

Opening workshops is a popular thing, and the number of new workshops added in recent months is much higher than the same period last year.

Changsun Chong felt that even if he didn't understand the situation, he had to at least keep up with Li Kuan's pace, otherwise he would be defeated by others if he didn't understand the situation at that time, which would be embarrassing.

"Your speculation makes sense. There are several workshops in the workshop city that use rubber to process and make products.

If we want to develop faster, it is best to acquire one directly and expand the scale, which can save us a lot of time.

There is no need to worry about being left far behind by Yuchi Cheng Rubber Workshop and Michelin Rubber Workshop.”

Changsun Wuji did not hesitate much and basically agreed to Changsun Chong's proposal.

"Aye, what you said, I will arrange for someone to contact the shopkeepers in the workshop city to see what the situation is like, and then I will find a way to get them done."

Although the Changsun family has made great profits in recent years, the lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Building a workshop is still a very short answer for the Changsun family.

With generous treatment, it is not difficult to recruit necessary personnel.
