Chapter 39 Multi-Speed Road Bikes
Entering the golden autumn season, it is time for the road cycling race held in Bangta City every autumn.
Father Sakchi left home early, rode his Xinfei brand men's 28 bicycle that he had bought for more than a year, left the Mexican village, and rode straight on the Luoyu Road.
Like him, there were quite a few people who got up early and left Mexico Village by bicycle. After leaving the village, they naturally gathered around Father Sakchi and marched towards the road bike racers in a mighty way. There are more than 40 kilometers of Bangta City to ride here.
After leaving the Mexican village far behind, Sam, who had been following Papa Sakchi, finally couldn't help but said, "Hey, Daddy, are you really planning to ride this old 28 bicycle to the city?" Participate in a road bike race?".
Father Sakchi turned his head and glanced at this junior in the village who was somewhat related to him, and snorted coldly: "Why? No way?"
"Okay, okay...just with this bicycle...you can't ride fast at all, why do you want to participate in road races." Sam frowned.
Father Sakchi smiled and said: "Hey, I'm not like you young people, just to win. I just want to exercise, I don't care if I can win, as long as I can complete the ride Not bad." "Oh...that's all right." Sam nodded. "But if you want to exercise, you don't need to ride this terribly heavy 28-model bicycle. You can see how light the one I am riding now is that it is very easy to ride without any effort at all."
As if to prove what he said, Sam kicked his feet. He rushed out at once. Far beyond Papa Sakchi.
Papa Sakchi laughed and shook his head. After catching up with Sam who slowed down, he took a serious look at the bicycle under his buttocks, only to find that the bicycle Sam was riding did not have the logo of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
"Of course, this bicycle is the latest one launched by the Anjiete Chamber of Commerce. The Anjiete Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce specializing in the production of bicycles. The bicycle I am riding is specially developed by them for bicycle road racing. It uses a new type of lightweight alloy material. The weight of the bicycle is more than ten kilograms lighter than that of Xinfei bicycles. Moreover, the overall optimization has been carried out, so it is much easier to ride than Xinfei bicycles, and naturally much faster.”
Sam pointed triumphantly behind him.
"Look, there are quite a few people in the village who bought Anjiete bicycles, all for the purpose of participating in this road bicycle race."
Father Sakchi looked back, and among the crowd following him, about a dozen young people from the Mexican village raised their hands to signal. Take a look under them, and you will find that the bicycles they are riding now all have the same logo hanging on the bicycle under Sam's buttocks, and they all seem to be from that Anjiete Chamber of Commerce.
Father Sakchi couldn't help frowning: "Could it be that the bicycles made by Anjiete Chamber of Commerce are better than Xinfei bicycles? I don't believe it."
Sam smiled: "Dad, you are out of date. Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still the best magic machinery chamber of commerce, but now they are not the best in all magic machinery. Look. This bicycle is the best. Clear example."
Seeing Sam's relaxed expression on that bicycle, Papa Sakchi wanted to refute, but he couldn't come up with any strong words to refute.
Just thinking that the magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will one day be surpassed by other chambers of commerce, Sakchi’s father always finds it a bit inconceivable.
In the past few years, the people in Bangta City have been extremely deeply influenced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Everyone has long been accustomed to the existence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and its absolute leading position in magic machinery.
In the minds of everyone, only the magic machines produced by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are the best, and the magic machines produced by other chambers of commerce are inherently lower than the Xinfei brand magic machines.
Although strictly speaking, the bicycle cannot be regarded as a serious magical machine, but it was the first to be developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and now it is surpassed by other chambers of commerce, which makes it difficult for Sakchi to accept.
"What's so hard to accept?" A young man like Sam was very disdainful of Papa Sakchi's thoughts. "Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is indeed very strong, but the world will change. It is normal for it to be surpassed by other chambers of commerce. Besides, even President Xu himself said that he very much hopes and welcomes other chambers of commerce. The production of magical machines exceeds that of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, what else can you not accept?"
"That's right, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce hasn't done anything for several months. According to me, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce may have to close in a while." Another young man also chimed in.
"It's not enough to close the door. It's just that the newly emerging chambers of commerce are all very strong, and they have taken over the technology of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. I think they will surpass the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce sooner or later."
"Well... this is actually not bad. Although the products of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are good, they are also expensive. If there are many magic machines made by other chambers of commerce that surpass it, I think the price of Xinfei Magic Machinery will also be reduced? No. less words"
"That's right, isn't that what President Xu himself said, hoping that there will be more qualified competitors. Besides, the current situation is that President Xu transferred the technology and cultivated these competitors with his own hands. Well. If I ask you what, he's got it all on his own."
"That's right. Chairman Xu is really stupid. Why would he do this? If the technology is not transferred, will Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still be able to make a lot of money?"
"He did it voluntarily, right? I heard a lot of words, this time it's the king's majesty..."
"Shut up!" Papa Sakchi suddenly shouted angrily, interrupting the lively discussion of the young people around him.
Sam and the others were stunned, and when they saw the gloomy face of Sakchi's father, they all fell silent knowingly.
"What do you know!" Papa Sakchi continued to reprimand them. "How can you guess the thoughts of those big people above? Regardless of whether Chairman Xu is voluntary or forced, I will definitely support the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce anyway. Think about it for me, if it is not for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, you can have a share A good job? Can you have a good life now? You guys dare to say that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not good. You even dare to say that Chairman Xu is stupid? Let me tell you. Don’t let me hear these words again. Otherwise, I will beat you up kill you!"
Papa Sakchi was already extremely dignified in the Mexican village, but now he has made a lot of money after opening a long-distance freight business association with Batru, and has become an idol in the hearts of young people in the village, which is naturally more helpful to them. Deterrence.
Now being reprimanded by him, the young people can only be obedient and dare not have any thoughts of talking back and resisting.
However, they were still somewhat unconvinced.
Sam muttered: "It's true to thank the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but a good thing is a good thing. You can't make us not buy it? A lot of words"
Father Sakchi glanced coldly at the Anjiete bicycle under Sam's buttocks, and snorted coldly: "Don't forget, this Anjiete bicycle is also made with the technology snatched from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Come out, what are you proud of?"
Sam curled his lips, unable to refute, and did not dare to refute again, so he had to shut up honestly.
A group of people rode their bicycles with no heads, and the speed was quite fast. It was less than two hours later. It has already arrived at the west gate of Bangta City.
At this time, it was less than an hour before the official start of the road cycling race, and the specially reserved square outside the city gate was already crowded with people.
nature. Everyone rides or pushes a bicycle.
Father Sakchi glanced over and found that many of the bicycles used by these people who came to participate in the competition were bicycles produced by the Anjiete Chamber of Commerce, and there were even bicycles of other unknown brands mixed in. But it's not like it was a few years ago. Looking around, all of them are Xinfei brand bicycles.
When Sam saw Papa Sakchi looking around, he couldn't help but smile.
Father Sakchi glared at him, but he didn't have the strength to say anything more.
A group of people huddled in the square and waited for a while, and suddenly a few people came out from behind the platform set up on the square, and it was Heinze, the vice president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and Bruff, the director of the bicycle department of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, next to them. There was a young man with him, and Sakchi still had some impressions, but he couldn't remember his name for a while.
After Heinze got on the stage, he announced a series of rules and precautions about road cycling as usual, and then gave his seat to Bluff.
According to the process of road bicycles in the past, Bluff, the director of the bicycle department of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, will indeed appear every time and give a short speech, expressing the importance of road bicycle plugs and the convenience brought by bicycles, etc. Promote bicycles and make a publicity note.
However, this time it was beyond everyone's expectations. After Bruff came up, he didn't say it was a thing, but announced in public that the bicycle department of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce took advantage of the opportunity of this road bicycle race to launch a new model. Bicycle products.
Everyone watched in astonishment as the young man who followed Heinze and Bruff returned to the stage, and after a while, he actually launched a brand new bicycle.
"This is the latest multi-speed road bicycle launched by our chamber of commerce. This bicycle is not only light and easy to ride, but also equipped with new hard tires specially made for road surfaces, which makes riding this bicycle on the road , which can be easily increased to the highest speed with the least resistance. In addition, this bicycle is equipped with a new transmission..."
Bluff gestured to the young man beside him, and the young man raised his bicycle high.
Seeing how relaxed he was lifting the bicycle, it became clearer to everyone that this bicycle is indeed very light.
"Look, the transmission is located on the rear wheel of the bicycle, and the controller is located above the handlebar. By adjusting the controller, you can adjust the transmission, and change the way the force on the rear wheel of the bicycle is adjusted by changing the gear ratio. Speed. As for how to use it, it depends on everyone’s own adaptation during the actual riding process.”
Seeing the stunned look of everyone in the audience, Bruff smiled and announced another news.
"In order to reflect the performance of this new multi-speed road bike, we will send a special trip to a player, that is, he - Alex - to participate in this road bike race with you. Of course, his results do not count Into the competition, so you don’t need to worry about being robbed of the first place by him. But...we will add an additional reward. As long as you can reach the finish line one step ahead of Alex in this competition, you will be awarded by our bicycle department An extra 100 gold coins reward!"
Everyone in the audience became a sensation in an instant.
As long as you can reach the finish line before this guy, you can get one hundred more gold coins, which is a big temptation for everyone.
Sakchi turned his head to look at the young people in the same village around him, and found that they were all eager to try, looking excited and full of energy.
"Hey, do you really think you can surpass this Alex casually? Naive!" Father Sakchi sneered in his heart.
