While Ludendorff was helping Schlieffen continue to improve his plan, Eder was preparing to contribute to the bitter battles of World War I in Romania.

In the royal palace in Bucharest, the Volkswagen Big Four are also waiting for the crown prince to summon them. Now Volkswagen is the hegemon in the European automobile market, 90% of the truck and bus market are using Volkswagen's products, in the private car market T car to fight the European counterparts can not find the north, now Volkswagen is synonymous with the European automobile industry.

"Francisco, do you think Your Highness is going to expand production when he summons us to meet this time?" When Draspa asked the sales manager, as a production manager, Draspa was most concerned about whether the equipment and workers could meet the production needs.

"Draspa, in the palace, don't talk nonsense." Minoba, the general manager, scolded the reckless guy. In the face of his boss's reprimand, Draspa also realized that something was wrong. After reprimanding the production manager, Minoba turned to Tusrid, the head of R&D who had been sitting there in a daze. "Hi Tuslied. Do you think the crown prince summoned us to ask us to develop a new model? ”

"It should be, otherwise why summon me." The head of R&D gave his answer briefly.

As the general manager of Volkswagen, Minoba still has a certain understanding of the crown prince. He also saw the current form of Volkswagen very clearly, and the great development of the automobile industry caused by Volkswagen and Ford has aroused great interest from capital. In France, Renault has received large investments, and Germany's two major car companies have also received capital injections from the banking sector, and many funds in Europe are investing in the automotive industry to get a piece of the pie.

As the largest and most advanced car company in Europe, Volkswagen has also become a lot of inspirational goals to become big in the automotive industry, and now the most direct way for many automobile companies is to poach the behavior, as the general manager of Minoba not only has to worry about the company's subordinates being poached, even he himself has received a lot of letters hoping that he can join, and also promised to give him a lot of shares also made Minoba cry and laugh.

While the group was discussing the Crown Prince's purpose for summoning them, one of the guards approached them and said to them. "Your Highness invites you in."

Several people stopped talking, after tidying up their appearance. Minoba led the next group of people to meet the crown prince. In the aisle they met the crown prince's Minister of Industry, Karaturi, and Eder kept his promise to transfer the capable former mayor of Ploiesti to the position of industrial development. In the face of ministers who can influence their enterprises, they are also very polite to give way and say hello.

"I've seen His Excellency the Minister of Industry."

"It's Minoba, Your Highness is waiting for you to get in quickly." Karaturi also said to them with a spring breeze on his face, and walked out without stopping at his feet.

The group walked into the crown prince's office and saw Eder who was waiting for them. Led by Minoba, everyone saluted the crown prince and said. "I've seen Your Highness."

"Minoba has summoned you this time mainly to recognize your excellent management of Volkswagen, and I have decided to reward you with 5% of the company's dividend. (2% for Minoba and 1% for the other three)," Eder said bluntly.

Eder also knows about the situation that has been poached since Volkswagen introduced the Model T. Eder, the other middle and low-level managers, can not care, but these four elites who have led the public to the current situation, Eder still cares a lot. After a few months of testing, they all showed enough loyalty to Volkswagen, and it was also a reward for their loyalty.

"Thank you, Your Highness." The four of them said excitedly that as managers of Volkswagen, they did not know better than they did. Based on Volkswagen's excellent performance now, 1% of the dividend is more than 10,000 pounds, so what's not to be satisfied with as an extra income.

Edel saw the four people who were very excited, and now it was time to put pressure on the sweet dates. "Now Volkswagen needs to redesign a 3-5 ton heavy-duty truck. It is required to be simple to operate, easy to maintain, able to adapt to complex terrain, and the failure rate should be reduced a little more. It's better to design a truck with a load of 5 tons, or if it doesn't work, design it with a load of 3 tons. ”

Hearing the crown prince's request, the four of them were a little startled, this requirement that belonged to the main transport vehicle in World War II scared the elites of the public a little, and sure enough, the crown prince's money was not easy to take.

"Your Highness, isn't this request a bit too high?" As the head of research and development, Tuslid knew that only he could answer the crown prince's request at this time.

"I'll give you four years." Eder spoke to Tuslid.

In the face of the crown prince's questioning, the head of R&D, Tuslied, calculated repeatedly in his heart, and said after thinking for a while. "I can try it in four years, and it won't be too cheap in terms of price."

"Okay, I'll celebrate you guys in advance." Edel blocked their retreat.

After walking out of the crown prince's office, the three asked Tusrid, the head of research and development. "You really have a way, it's no joke."

As the top executives of Volkswagen, they all have a high level of awareness of the current automotive industry, and they are also quick to know about the emergence of new technologies. Eder's demands can be described as difficult, and there is no reason why they should not be worried.

"Don't worry, if I don't have that ability, I will never agree. Increasing the load capacity is nothing more than strengthening the structure of the vehicle, increasing the power output of the engine, and adapting to complex terrain can increase the force area between the car and the ground, that is, increasing the tires. Convenient operationWe have Dongfeng Motor as a reference, easy to maintain, this is a troublesome problem, but there are still four years to solve. ”

When everyone heard what Tuslid said, they believed that he could do it. In his heart, the technical director knew that things were not as easy as he said, so he could only go back to work overtime in research and development.

After returning to the Volkswagen factory in Constanta, the crowd dispersed and went about their own business. Tuslid returned to the R&D center and summoned the researchers to tell them about the crown prince's request. After hearing such a high request from the crown prince, there was a lot of discussion.

Tuslid didn't look very good, and shouted loudly to the people below. "Okay, don't talk about it anymore, the task has been set, we just need to do what we are asked to do."

After seeing the quiet personnel, Stulid also arranged tasks for his subordinates. "Bisaya, you led your group to study the steel frame structure of the vehicle, and I want your structure to be able to withstand ten tons of load."

"Okay, I'll focus on this for the rest of the time." The leader of the group, named Bisaya, replied.

Stullid, who received the reply, continued to arrange for the work of others. "Tukel, you led your group to do a tire load test, also with a load of ten tons, to see how much area is needed so as not to sink into the ground."

Stulid successively arranged other people's research directions, and in these directions, it can be seen that he used ten tons as the vehicle as a whole and the load, which was still more reasonable in this era.

After assigning the personnel one by one, he walked up to an oriental face and spoke. "Super King, now you are my assistant, and report to me the progress of their group every day. I need to be on track to get the results I want in the time frame I want. ”

"Okay Director." The young man named Wang Chaoqiang replied.

As a self-financed international student, Wang Chaoqiang still has some financial resources in his hometown of Hanyang, and he was admitted to the Technical University of Berlin because of his studiousness. While studying at the Technical University of Berlin, he learned about automobiles. He had finished his studies, but like everyone else, he planned to return to China to serve the motherland after completing his studies. But the great development of automobiles that appeared in advance allowed him to see the huge potential of a new industry.

He resolutely refused to return to China immediately, intending to go back to help his suffering motherland after learning technology at Europe's largest automobile factory. His high enough education helped him to smoothly enter the Volkswagen R&D department, and he happened to meet a good leader who did not discriminate against him. In the R&D center, Tuslid only cares about whether you are capable or not, and never asks who you are.

This made Wang Chaoqiang very grateful to his supervisor, and he was very happy that he was able to learn the most advanced automotive technology.

While the public was busy with Eder's request, the crown prince also turned his attention to the surrounding hot spots.
