Chapter 127: 127. Customized Four-Wheeled Carriage
Ethan: Don't worry, Mr. Liu! We'll work overtime to ensure your custom order is ready in no more than three days. I'll personally deliver it to you!
Jason Liu felt satisfied with their efficiency.
Jason Liu: Great! I'll transfer the deposit—10,000 yuan, right?
Ethan: Yes, thank you so much, Mr. Liu!
Jason quickly transferred 10,000 yuan , and Ethan confirmed receipt of the payment.
With the sword project taken care of, Jason had another matter to discuss.
Jason Liu: By the way, Ethan, do you know where I can order a traditional Western four-wheeled carriage?
Ethan: Yes, we have some connections with prop makers and factories that handle these kinds of things.
Jason Liu: Perfect. Can you recommend one?
Ethan: Sure! You're based in Zheng City, right?
Jason Liu: That's correct.
Luo Yuchen: Then I suggest you contact a factory in your neighboring city. They specialize in this sort of thing. I'll send you their WeChat details.
Shortly after, Luo Yuchen sent a QR code.
Jason thanked him and ended the chat. He then added the contact for the carriage factory in neighbouring city and initiated a conversation.
Carriage Factory: Hello! This is Carriage Manufacturing. Are you looking to purchase a four-wheeled carriage?
Jason Liu: Hi there. Yes, I'd like to customize five carriages. Can you handle that?
The sales representative at Gemei Carriage Factory was thrilled. Five custom carriages meant a big order, and they were eager to please such a valuable customer.
Carriage Factory: Absolutely! We have all the necessary equipment and can deliver fast, high-quality results. Satisfaction guaranteed!
Jason Liu: Great. Could you send me some pictures of carriages you've made before, along with their specifications?
Carriage Factory: No problem! Please wait a moment.
Within minutes, Jason received over ten pictures showcasing various carriage designs.
He carefully examined them and selected one that featured golden axles and elegant decorative elements. The design looked simple yet sturdy—just what he needed. He took a screenshot and sent it back.
Jason Liu: I like this design. What are the dimensions of this carriage?
Carriage Factory: The total length is 5.6 meters, width is 2.4 meters, and height is 3.2 meters. Inside, the carriage measures 3.8 meters in length, 2 meters in width, and 2.7 meters in height. If you're not satisfied with the size, we can adjust it!
Jason Liu: The height is fine, but I need the interior length to be 5 meters and the width to be 3 meters. Is that doable?
The factory representative was momentarily surprised by the request but remained optimistic. Special requirements often indicated serious buyers.
Carriage Factory: Yes, we can do that! We'll need to upgrade the axles and other parts, but we can meet your specifications.
Jason Liu: Does this carriage have a suspension,steering mechanism?
Carriage Factory: Absolutely! We use a front-wheel suspension system. When the horses turn, the front wheels pivot along with the body for smooth steering.
Jason Liu: Can the suspension system provide good shock absorption—close to that of a car?
Carriage Factory: Well… achieving car-level suspension is challenging due to the carriage's simpler structure. However, we can make it as close as possible.
Jason considered this and decided it was acceptable.
Jason Liu: That works for me.
Carriage Factory: Do you have any other requirements?
Jason Liu: Use your best steel for the wheels, axles, and other key components. I want these carriages to endure rough dirt roads without breaking.
The factory representative was curious about why Jason needed carriages to handle such poor conditions but didn't press the issue.
Carriage Factory: If we use our highest-quality materials, the carriages will easily handle bumpy dirt roads without damage. We'll also offer a full refund and compensation if any issues arise due to quality.
Jason Liu: What kind of tires do you use—solid or pneumatic?
Carriage Factory: Both are available. Solid tires are more durable and easier to replace, though they're slightly more expensive.
Jason Liu: Go with solid tires, then.
Carriage Factory: Understood! Anything else?
Jason Liu: Yes. Add a small generator and a battery. While the carriage is moving, the generator should charge the battery. At night, it should power lights at the four corners of the carriage and ceiling lights inside.
Carriage Factory: That can be arranged. Do you have any additional requests?
Jason Liu: Use tempered glass for the windows. Inside, I want a 3m x 2m sofa bed at the rear. For the remaining space, install detachable seats on both sides. Include a semi-fixed round table in the middle, sized appropriately for the available space.
The sales representative, reviewed Jason's list of requests with a mixture of amusement and admiration. A bed inside a carriage? That was unusual, but certainly not a problem. Everything was doable—as long as Jason was willing to pay for it.
Carriage Factory: Sir, we can fulfill all these requirements, but I must warn you that the cost will be significantly higher than our standard carriages. Are you okay with that?
Jason Liu: Price isn't an issue. Just make sure the quality is top-notch and the design is flawless.
Carriage Factory: Understood! Any preferences for the carriage's appearance?
Jason Liu: Paint the carriages black and add intricate decorative carvings. By the way, have you seen the TV show Game of Thrones?
sales representative was momentarily taken aback. Why was Game of Thrones being brought up? Still, the show was incredibly popular, so he quickly responded.
Carriage Factory: Of course! It's a fantastic show—way better than most local dramas.
