The institute that Xiao Lang was in was the best of all the academies. The education there was more strict, and it placed more emphasis on literature than other Academies. Its goal was to train generals, and the students there were all Dragons and Phoenixes among people. They all had very good character, and many nobles would spend a lot of money to send their children there. Naturally, there was no lack of rich people.
Jian Qingqing patted his head. “I did not say you can’t sell it. When it’s done, you can sell it however you want.”
Jian Qingqing’s plan was to let the three little ones ride bicycles or skateboards to and from school to hook up with the young masters. Then, she would let them sell the bicycles that she had already made.
Bicycles were not difficult to make. Those craftsmen with decades of experience knew how to make them after taking them apart. It was easy to copy. There was no such thing as copyright awareness here, so she wanted to make a large number of bicycles first and sell them at one time.
She was selling the first batch of bicycles to the rich, so she naturally had to sell them at a higher price. Although the students themselves could not afford them, their parents could.
Which parent would be able to stand their own child making a scene?
Jian Qingqing planned to earn the money of those nobles.
She had fully understood how rich those capitalists were, and she would be letting herself down if she did not earn a little money here.
After selling the first batch, she would decide whether to continue selling it or not. Because once the bicycle had been replicated by other craftsmen, the price would definitely drop. Unless she could make all the rich people believe that the bicycle was from her store, they would not buy it.
This was a little difficult. Jian Qingqing did not have that much energy to do it, so she told Xiao Ye and the others about this idea.
Xiao Hu and Xiao Lang were at a loss. They did not know what to do to make them both buy their own.
Xiao Ye’s thoughts turned a few times, and his eyes sparkled. “Sister, leave it to me. I’ll definitely complete the mission!”
Jian Qingqing was afraid that they would spend too much time on this matter and delay their studies, so she quickly said, “Just do your best, it’s fine if you can’t do it.”
“Don’t worry, Sis,” Xiao Ye consoled. “We know what’s the most important thing. It won’t affect our studies.”
“Alright,” Jian Qingqing said with a smile. “It’s good that you know what you’re doing.”
…
With the bicycle, it was much more convenient for Jian Qingqing to go to the fields. Riding the bicycle on the country road, a gust of wind blew, and it was very pleasant.
It did not take long for the bicycles to be ready for Xiao Hu and the others. After practicing for a day, they finally learned how to ride bicycles.
After that, they no longer needed the family’s carriage to pick them up. Every day, they rode their bicycles through the streets and alleys, attracting the attention of passers-by.
“What did that kid ride just now? How did he do it so quickly?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never seen it before.”
“It looks weird. I don’t know what it is, but it looks convenient. I want one.”
Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye arrived at the Academy on their bicycles, attracting the attention of their classmates.
“Xiao Hu, Xiao Ye, what are you guys riding? Lend it to me to play with!”
Xiao Hu slapped away the person’s outstretched hand and said sternly, “Don’t touch! It’s still new, what if it’s broken?”
The man’s grandfather was a second-rank official named Wang Huaiwu. He had been pampered since he was young and could get anything he wanted. Now that he was rejected, he snorted in dissatisfaction.. “What’s so great about that? I’ll go back and ask my butler to buy one for me!”
