Chapter 103: First Feedback on the Shared 3-Wheeler Project

"No problem at all. Just tell me what you want. I'll do my best to help you in any way I can." The man straightened his back to make himself look stronger.

"We have designated this area as the most important parking spot among the 20 spots, and will deploy the largest number of shared tricycles in this area, so we hope that more people can understand its usage rules and precautions in advance.

Could you please tell other residents about the project promotional film tonight, the time is...about 10 o'clock. It would be best if you could briefly mention the convenience it will bring, sir." Harold said.

"What's so difficult about this? I'll do it right away, and I'll definitely let all 100 households around here know the news!"

After the man finished speaking, he immediately went home to call his wife and children, and the whole family ran around to tell each other, and soon the news spread throughout the suburbs of Xumi City.

The residents, who were originally uninterested in the research topics promoted by scholars from the House of Evangelicals, immediately changed their attitude and became enthusiastic after hearing that the House of Evangelicals would allow them to use a small cart that was more convenient than a wheelbarrow for free.

...

"Gentlemen, I have spread the news. Everyone is very happy, but not as many people are willing to come as expected. Many people think that since the Faithful Court has built the facilities, they can use them. There is no need to spend time to see the promotion. I am sorry, I really can't convince them."

A quarter of an hour later, the middle-aged man stood in front of the two men again, but his face did not have the previous ecstasy. He felt that he had not completed the task assigned by the two men and felt a little depressed.

"Thank you, I'm glad you brought the message. We were in a hurry to prepare today, so it's normal that everyone doesn't want to come at this time. We will broadcast here for a few days in a row and try to let more people see it." Kavi said with a smile.

Harold poked his head out from the ceiling and said, "Senior Kawi, everything is done here, let's go to the other side."

"Okay." Kavi replied.

Asking the leader of the 30-man patrol nearby to keep an eye on the equipment, Kavi got on the tricycle and called out, "Harold, get on board, I'll take you!"

Uh...is this day finally here?

Harold looked at the tricycle bed with some resistance in his heart, but he still sat on it, being careful not to kick the materials at his feet.

Along the way, they received many looks, most of which were of curiosity, surprise, and envy, but being stared at by so many people, Harold still had the illusion of social death.

It's okay, you will all have this experience in the future. Harold closed his eyes and said to himself.

It took them twenty minutes to reach the chosen location. Kavi took less than ten minutes to set up the ceiling and assemble the tricycle, while Harold prepared folding tables and chairs, nectar powder and other items.

The preparations here were completed. Kavi said goodbye to Harold and returned to the outskirts of the city. He pressed the button on the communicator, and the light screen instantly expanded. Harold's voice came out:

"There aren't many people here, how about senior?"

Kavi looked at the time. There were still twenty minutes until ten o'clock. There were only about twenty people present, and most of them were over fifty years old.

Kawi: "There aren't many people. Maybe it's not time yet."

"Senior, have you tried making nectar water? I'm already making it. I heard there's sugar water to drink, and a lot of kids came over.

They are not the target audience of our project, but they can convey what they saw today to their parents. Well...it may be a bit difficult for them, but even if they can only remember a few sentences, it will be effective. "

After hearing this, Kavi also made some nectar water for the residents present, which really attracted some idle people. Kavi took the opportunity to promote Harold's booth of the Life Theory School at the carnival.

What church the Flower Planters believe in is mainly determined by how many eggs they give out, and the same is true for the Teyvat people. Harold complained in his heart.

At ten o'clock, Kavi turned the hand-cranked projector and started playing the promotional video, while Haroldt used the communicator to broadcast it in real time on the other side.

When a colorful image was projected on the screen, the residents who were drinking honey water and chatting and laughing fell silent. They stared at the screen in shock. In the night, it looked like a glowing flag suspended in the air.

Kavi's voice came through the phonograph. Because of the curtain, the slightly distorted sound was very clear in the small space, and the people present could hear every word clearly.

The silence of the crowd lasted less than ten seconds, and soon they began to whisper, guessing what it was.

Is it a void device? But a void device cannot project sound or images.

They were surprised and curious. They thought that the "propaganda" mentioned by the blond scholar of the House of Lords was just like other scholars who first gave a speech and then gave them a questionnaire to fill out.

Those scholars always like to talk about abstract things and use obscure words, which makes them have no interest in this kind of propaganda.

But unexpectedly, they could actually see the specific pictures through the screen. The scholar in the film explained and demonstrated at the same time. Through his actions, they intuitively understood the operating specifications and precautions of this shared tricycle.

The ten-minute show ended quickly, but the discussion did not stop.

Kavi cleared his throat and asked, "Does anyone have any questions?"

The scene became much quieter, but no one responded.

"Senior, please play it again. I guess everyone is a little surprised to see this form of promotion for the first time, and they haven't been able to focus on the video just now. Senior, please play it a few more times and let everyone ask questions." Harold's voice came from the communicator.

Someone echoed:

"Yeah, I spoke a little too loudly just now, so I didn't hear some of the content clearly."

"Please play it again. What I want to ask seems to have been explained in the promotion, but I forgot it when I was distracted."

“I didn’t pay much attention to it at first, but later I found this project quite interesting and I wanted to watch it several times to learn more about it.”

...

After receiving this feedback, Kawi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll play it a few more times."

This time, there were fewer whispers. Many people were focused on the film content itself, and from time to time they looked at the tricycle brought by Kavi, their eyes filled with joy and anticipation, but some people still couldn't help but communicate in a low voice.

Following the "talking machine" and the "light screen that can store images", the conversation between Harold and Kavi brought them a new shock. They were very curious about who was talking to the blond scholar and where he made the sound.

Kavi screened the film three times in a row, during which time a dozen people were attracted by the sound of the phonograph and joined the movie-watching crowd.

After four screenings, Kavi pushed out the car: "This is the tricycle I mentioned in the film. It has not yet been equipped with reminders and alarms, but it has been equipped with locks, bells and other parts. You can experience it in advance - does anyone want to try it?"

"Big brother, can I have a try?" A little girl who looked only eleven or twelve years old raised her right hand.

"Well... I'm afraid that won't work." Looking at the girl's clear eyes, Kavi said tactfully, "The cars we're making now are designed entirely for adults. If you sit on them, you probably won't be able to reach the pedals."

"Will there be a tricycle I can ride in the future?" the girl asked with anticipation. "I watched the promotional video of the older brother very carefully.

I already know how to operate it. If I can take the test, I will definitely get a driver's license, so that I can help my grandfather deliver the crops from the fields to the market every morning."

"...Maybe in the future, but the waiting time may be a bit long." Although he knew that it would be difficult to do given Xumi's current conditions, Kavi still answered with gritted teeth.

"Really? That's great, thank you, big brother!"

"I want to give it a try!" said a young boy.

"Can I be the next one?" A young girl raised her hand timidly.

"I..."

...

With one person starting with it, many people wanted to try to do it themselves. Some of them were not very good at it, some were so nervous that they forgot to unlock the car, and some screamed excitedly as soon as they got in the car.

Kavi watched from the side, correcting their mistakes from time to time. He wanted to let everyone try it for twenty minutes and then play the promotional video again. After the residents have personal experience, they should be able to better understand the significance of some of the regulations.

But after seeing that everyone liked the project, he decided to extend this phase to give more people the opportunity to try it.

Because they had the opportunity to experience riding a tricycle themselves, the residents' enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high, and at 11:30 there were still people queuing up to try it.

Kavi had to stop the conversation and took out a stack of papers and a few quills from the folding table and distributed them to everyone: "That's all for today. If you have any questions or suggestions, you can write them down. We will take a good look at them when we get back and give you a reply tomorrow."

Residents were given paper and pens, and asked to think for a moment and write down their feelings of the day.
