Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner

"Tony, how fast can this bike go?" Jonathan asked Tangning with a serious look while everyone was watching Mark's funny learning to drive.

Tangning thought for a while, then replied, "I haven't tested this yet, but six or seven miles per hour should be fine. If you have good physical endurance, ten miles is not impossible!"

Hearing this number, Maxi's eyes lit up: "In this way, this kind of bicycle is two or three times faster than walking, and compared with the carriage, it is bulky and does not need feed, and it will not shit, At least in a city like New York, there will be quite a market!" (The horse manure crisis was mentioned earlier, so this is a very important consideration.)

Then Maxi asked again, "What about the cost?"

"Because these two samples have been tried a lot during the experiment, the cost is not very easy to calculate. It is estimated that one car costs about fifty pounds. In addition, this is the price of individual manufacture. If you want to manufacture it on a large scale In order to sell and sell, we definitely need to design corresponding lathes and tools, and the exact cost will be known when we get it!" Tangning explained.

"Actually, if you sell it on a small scale, fifty pounds is fine, but as you said, it is still a large-scale manufacturing and selling, and the profit is greater. I believe John will be very interested. In fact, if I have this capital If so, I want to vote too!" Jonathan suggested.

In fact, even if Jonathan didn't say it, Tangning knew that Morgan was the best partner. Even though he was reluctant to invest in power plants, it was because he invested too much and he was not so confident in the popularization of electric lights. The bike is totally different, the market for this thing is almost predictable, and the investment is much smaller relative to the power plant.

But to be honest, Tangning didn't really want to cooperate with Morgan. It wasn't because there was something wrong with their friendship, but because one of Tangning's original goals in improving her bicycle was to increase the combat effectiveness of the Southern Army, but if she cooperated with Morgan in the north , How could it be possible to supply the Southern Army at that time? It is even possible that the North Army took the lead in enjoying the military achievements of bicycles, which went against its original intention.

It was just that it was not convenient for him to tell Jonathan, so he said perfunctorily: "Actually, I think so too. After the patent application is filed, I will go to New York to talk to John about it!"

The reception was over. Normally, Tangning should have paid Zena and Mark Qin the money, and this collaboration was over, but how could Tangning just watch a **** leave in front of her eyes, so she asked Mark Qin, "Shi Vince, do you want to stay and help me?"

Mark Qin first turned to look at his cousin, because he was a little curious about why Tangning only asked him but not his cousin, so he asked, "First, what do you want me to do?"

"Of course it's a bicycle!"

"Do you have any way to improve?" Mark Qin asked brightly.

Tangning thought that even if there was, it wouldn't be possible with current technology, so she shook her head and replied, "That's not true!"

Just when Mark Qin was disappointed, Tangning added, "Although we have already produced a relatively ideal bicycle, this is only a single manufacture, how can we mass-produce it so that more people can afford it? , to use this convenient and labor-saving bicycle, and there are many places that we need to study, so Stevens, I still need your help here!"

Hearing Tangning's explanation, Mark Qin suddenly realized, because as a craftsman, he naturally knows very well that making one bicycle and making a hundred bicycles are two completely different things. The technical problems that need to be broken through are just a simple thought. A lot, but he doesn't think it's a hassle, because he likes to study this kind of thing, and it is more in line with his interest to study and manufacture things than to open a flour mill.

So Mark Qin nodded and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, sir, I'm willing to stay!"

Seeing that he agreed so quickly, his cousin Zena hurriedly gave him a wink. After all, the salary had not been negotiated, so why are you in such a hurry to agree? Fortunately, Tangning seemed to see what he was thinking, so she offered the offer. An amount that Makqin couldn't refuse, he hesitated for a while, and then used two-thirds of his salary to keep Zena. After all, if Makqin was alone, Tangning was worried that he would be too busy, so he had a helper. Always a good thing.

Just as Tangning was busy with the patent procedures for the bicycle, to his surprise, Heidi's brother Brian found him, and he came on a bicycle, so he complimented him as soon as they met: "Tony~www .wuxiamtl.com~ You are so smart. In fact, I have this Macmillan bicycle at home for a long time, but I disliked it for being too heavy, so after riding it twice, it stopped moving. , not only a lot lighter, but also comfortable and fast to ride, with it, I don't want to ride now!" (Because this bike was improved by British blacksmith Macmillan, he is generally called Macmillan Len bike.)

"As long as you like it!" Tangning replied with a smile.

"I heard you plan to open a bicycle factory with your friends in New York?" Brian asked again.

Tangning explained, "It's just a temporary idea. After all, I can't open a factory like this on my own, and I'm quite familiar with John. Now my electric light company is co-organized with him! It's just that the technology of bicycles is still not enough. It's not perfect, it doesn't meet the conditions for mass production, so I haven't gone to New York to talk to John about it!"

"Since you haven't talked to the Morgan family about this, should you change your partner?" Brian suggested.

"Then who's going to be replaced?" Tangning looked at Brian and asked knowingly.

Brian pointed to himself without hesitation and replied: "Of course it's our Clark family, Tony, you should have confidence in my family's strength, there is absolutely no problem in running a bicycle factory, and it's our southerners. Invention, why do you want those Yankees cheap? Let's also open a big factory and sell bikes to New York, and save those Yankees from saying that we don't have factories in the south and only grow cotton!"
