As we enter the golden autumn season, it’s time for the road cycling race that Bangta City regularly holds every autumn.
Father Sakchi left home early and rode his new Fei brand men's 28-meter bicycle that he had bought for more than a year. He left the Mexican village and rode straight on the rainy road.
Like him, there were also many people who got up early and left Mexico Village on bicycles. After leaving the village, they naturally gathered around Father Sakchi and marched together towards the road bicycle race. It is more than 40 kilometers away from Bangta City by bike.
After leaving Mexico Village far behind him, Sam, who had been following Sakchi's father, finally couldn't help but said: "Hey, Dad, are you really going to ride this 28-year-old bicycle?" Participate in a road bike race?"
Father Sakchi turned his head and glanced at this young man in the village who was still somewhat related to him, and snorted coldly: "What? No?"
"Okay, okay... but with this perfect bicycle... I can't ride fast at all. How can I participate in a road race?" Sam frowned.
Father Sakchi smiled and said: "Hey, I'm not like you young people who participate in it just to win. I just want to exercise. I don't care if I can win. As long as I can ride the whole distance, that's it." Not bad." "Oh... that's okay." Sam nodded. "But if you want to exercise, you don't have to ride a heavy 28-model bicycle like this. Look at how light the bike I'm riding now is. It's very easy to ride without any effort at all."
As if to prove what he said, Sam kicked his feet. He immediately rushed out. Far beyond Papa Sakchi.
Father Sakchi laughed and shook his head. After catching up with Sam who was slowing down, I took a serious look at the bicycle under his buttocks and realized that the bicycle Sam was riding did not have the logo of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce on it.
"Of course, this bicycle is the latest one launched by the Anjiet Chamber of Commerce. The Anjiet Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce that specializes in the production of bicycles. The bicycle I ride was specially developed by them for bicycle road racing. It uses a new type of lightweight alloy material. The weight of the bike is more than ten kilograms lighter than that of the Xinfei bike, and it is also optimized overall, making it much easier to ride than the Xinfei bike, and naturally much faster.”
Sam pointed behind him triumphantly.
"You see, there are many people in the village who buy Anjit bicycles, all for the purpose of participating in the road cycling race."
Father Sakchi looked back and saw that in the crowd following him, about a dozen young people who were also from the Mexican village raised their hands to signal. If you take a look at them, you will find that the bicycles they are riding now all have the same logo as the bicycle under Sam's buttocks. It seems that they are all from the Anjit Chamber of Commerce.
Father Sakchi couldn't help but frown: "Are the bicycles made by the Anjiet Chamber of Commerce better than the Xinfei bicycles? I don't believe it."
Sam chuckled: "Dad, you are already behind the times. Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still the best magic machinery chamber of commerce, now not all the magic machinery they produce are the best. You see. This bicycle is the best. Obvious example."
Seeing Sam's relaxed expression while riding that bicycle, Father Sakchi wanted to refute, but he couldn't come up with any strong words to refute.
Just thinking that the magic machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would one day be surpassed by other chambers of commerce, Father Sakchi always found it a bit incredible.
In the past few years, the people in Bangta City have been 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 magical machinery.
In everyone's mind, only the magic machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are the best. The magic machines produced by other chambers of commerce are inherently lower than the Xinfei brand magic machines.
Although the bicycle is not strictly a serious magical machine, it was the first one developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and now it has been surpassed by other chambers of commerce. This makes it difficult for Father Sakchi to accept.
"What's so hard to accept?" Young people like Sam were very disdainful of Father Sakchi's idea. "The 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 has said that he very much hopes and welcomes other chambers of commerce. The production of magic machinery exceeds that of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, what else can’t you accept?”
"That's right, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has not done anything for several months. According to me, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce may have to close down in a while." Another young man also helped.
"It's not that it's closed down. It's just that the new chambers of commerce that have popped up are all very strong and have inherited the technology of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. I think they will surpass the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce sooner or later."
"Hmm... This is actually not bad. Although the products of the 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 prices of the Xinfei brand magic machines will also be reduced, right? Quite a few. Character"
"Yes, isn't this what Chairman Xu himself said, hoping that more qualified competitors will emerge. Besides, in the current situation, isn't it that Chairman Xu himself transferred the technology and then personally trained these opponents? Well, if you ask me, it’s his own fault.”
"Exactly. President Xu is really stupid. Why would he do this? If we don't transfer the technology, won't Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still be able to make a lot of money?"
"He also volunteered, right? I heard from many words that this time it was actually His Majesty the King..."
"Shut up!" Father Sakchi suddenly shouted angrily, interrupting the heated discussion among the young people around him.
Sam and others were stunned, and when they saw Father Sakchi's gloomy face, they all fell silent knowingly.
"You know nothing!" Father Sakchi continued to scold them. "How can you guess the thoughts of those big shots above? Regardless of whether Chairman Xu is voluntary or forced, I will definitely support the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. You should also think about it carefully. If it were not for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, you would be able to have a share. Good job? Can you have a good life now? How dare you say that Chairman Xu is stupid? I tell you, don't let me hear these words again. Kill you!"
Father Sakchi was already very dignified in the Mexican village. Now he has made a lot of money after cooperating with Batru to open a long-distance freight business. He has become an idol in the minds of the young people in the village, and he is naturally more respectful to them. Shocking power.
Now that he was scolding him, the young people could only obey and did not dare to have any thoughts of talking back and resisting.
However, they were still somewhat unconvinced.
Sam muttered: "It's right to thank Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but good things are good things. You can't tell us not to buy it, can you? It's a lot of words."
Father Sakchi glanced coldly at the Anjit bicycle under Sam's butt, and snorted: "Don't forget, this Anjit bicycle was also made using technology stolen from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. What are you proud of?"
Sam curled his lips, unable to refute, and he didn't dare to refute again, so he had to shut up.
The group of people rode their bicycles at a very fast speed, less than two hours later. They have arrived at the west gate of Bangta City.
At this time, it was less than an hour before the official start time of the road cycling race, and the specially set aside square outside the city gate was already crowded with people.
nature. Everyone is either riding or pushing a bicycle.
Father Sakchi glanced over and found that many of the bicycles used by the people who came to participate in the competition were bicycles produced by the Anjiet Chamber of Commerce, and there were even bicycles of other unknown brands mixed in. But it's no longer like it was in previous years. Looking at it, all of them are Xinfei bicycles.
Sam couldn't help but smile when he saw Father Sakchi looking around.
Father Sakchi glared at him, but had no energy to say anything more.
A group of people crowded in the square and waited for a while. A few people suddenly walked out from behind the platform set up in the square. 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 also a young man following him. Sakchi still had some memories, but he couldn't remember his name for a while.
After Heinze took the stage, he announced a series of rules and precautions about road cycling as usual, and then gave up his position to Bruff.
According to the previous process of every road bicycle, Brough, the director of the bicycle department of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, did appear every time and gave a short speech, expressing the importance of road bicycle plugs and the convenience brought by bicycles, etc., which was regarded as correct. Promote bicycles to make a publicity.
However, this time it was beyond everyone's expectation. When Bluff came up, he did not say it was something, but announced in public that the bicycle department of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce took advantage of this road bicycle race to launch a new model. Bicycle products.
Everyone watched in astonishment as the young man who was following Heinze and Bruff returned to the stage, and a moment later 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 is also equipped with new hard tires specially designed for road surfaces, making it easier to ride this bicycle on the road. , can be easily increased to maximum speed with minimal obstruction. In addition, this bike is also equipped with a new transmission... "
Bruff gestured to the young man next to him, and the young man raised the bicycle high.
Seeing the ease with which he lifted the bicycle, everyone understood more clearly that this bicycle was indeed very light.
"As you can see, this 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 force on the rear wheel of the bicycle by changing the gear ratio, thereby adjusting Speed. As for how to use it, it depends on how you adapt to it during actual riding. ”
Seeing everyone in the audience looking dazed, Bruff smiled and announced another news.
"In order to reflect the performance of this new multi-speed road bicycle, we will send a special rider, Alex, to participate in this road bicycle race with you. Of course, his results will not be counted. In the competition, you don’t need to worry about being snatched away from the first place. However... we will add an additional reward. If you can reach the finish line before Alex in this competition, you will receive additional rewards from our bicycle department. One hundred gold coins reward!”
Everyone in the audience was instantly shocked.
As long as you can reach the finish line before this guy, you can get an extra hundred gold coins, which is a big temptation for anyone.
Sakchi turned to look at the young people in the same village around him and found that they were all eager to try, looking excited and very motivated.
"Hey, do you really think you can easily surpass this Alex? Naive!" Father Sakchi sneered in his heart.
