While chatting with his friends in Preshan, Eder was listening to the marketing department's market research on Dongfeng trucks. Originally, Eder could have left this matter alone, but it was too important for the crown prince's follow-up plan, so Eder needed to understand the current audience for trucks in the European market. Whether it can be an instant hit depends on this market research.

"Your Highness, this is the report of this investigation of major cities and ports in Europe." Francisco, the marketing manager at Volkswagen, handed the investigation report to the crown prince. (Francisco is a subordinate of Ford and has a good track record of selling cars.) So he was transferred to Volkswagen for market development. Eder waved his hand, "You just tell me, and I won't look at it." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Francisco cleared his voice and began to report to Eder. "Your Highness, we have randomly asked factory owners and dock owners in major ports and big cities in Europe for this investigation, and we believe that this investigation report is credible," the marketing manager continued after gesturing to Eder. "According to our survey, 80 percent of the bosses and factory owners are interested in our trucks, and 30 percent of the respondents said they could buy a few to try. Fifty percent of those surveyed said they would buy it when they saw the results, and half of them said it would be best if they could try it. According to our survey, the demand for trucks in the European market is around 50,000 units, and the long-term goal is around 200,000 units in the past 10 years."

"At what market price did you investigate?"

"£185 ($902) for a truck to do the survey."

It seems that the price of less than two carriages is not expensive, Eder calculated in his heart. "Based on this sales volume now, can the factory be busy?" "We calculated based on 5,000 trucks at the beginning, and after the crown prince's additional investment, we can achieve an annual output of 20,000 trucks according to the efficiency of the assembly line in the United States, and there will still be a bit of a gap to meet the needs of Europe." Francisco answered the crown prince's questions.

When the time comes, let's look at the sales performance, if the production is not enough, it will be to expand production, the crown prince thought to himself. "Your Highness, I have a new idea, I don't know if it can be feasible." The marketing manager is talking about a new proposal. "Tell me, as long as I can grow the company, I'd love to listen." Edel said to the marketing manager standing in front of him.

"I think the company's trucks have been modified and can compete with the passenger transport business." Francisco gave Edel a surprise offer. "It's a good proposition, and I couldn't agree more. Let the company design such a high-capacity passenger car. Eder was pleasantly surprised by Francisco's proposal, but he didn't expect the American to have such a sharp insight, and of course he agreed with a stroke of the pen.

Eder envisioned that Volkswagen's capture of the European market would bring great industrial development to Romania, and history has proven that the automotive industry can lead to the development of all walks of life. That's why Eder chose automotive manufacturing as a basic industry in Romania. Now Eder was going to look at another sector that could be vigorously developed.

"Your Highness welcomes you."

When Eder arrived at the Bucharest Power Laboratory, he was greeted by the laboratory director, Molonir. Molonir used to do research on internal combustion engines at the University of Bucharest, but he was not well known. When Edel asked the chief of the guard to find a domestic internal combustion engine, he was discovered by Calust and introduced to the crown prince. Molonir himself, like most scientists, is focused on research and is not good at talking. But if you talk about his profession, it's a lot of talking.

Molonir is one of the few experts in Romania who specializes in internal combustion engines. Whoever made Eder almost forget about the scientists who studied the internal combustion engine in his previous life, and the few who are still in his memory are all famous, and it is impossible for them to come to Romania. Edel could only be taller among the shortest men, and chose Moloniel, the most proficient of all, to be the head of the laboratory.

The Bucharest Power Laboratory was built just this year, relying on the introduction of technology and talents from Germany. What can be done now is to study the various engines available, whether diesel or gasoline. Edel came over today mainly for the diesel engine.

"How's Academician Molonier's machine now?" Eder asked the director of the laboratory, and the crown prince casually contributed what little knowledge he had about diesel engines in order to entrap this one of the few scientists in Romania and let this Molonir be elected as an academician of the Romanian Academy of Sciences. Today is a small diesel engine improved by Academician Molonier based on the Crown Prince's knowledge. Eder was also very interested in Academician Molonier's improved diesel engine, so he came to visit.

"Your Highness's improved diesel engine according to your proposal has been reduced by a third in size, and the power output has been increased by 5 horsepower, and now it can reach 30 horsepower. I think it's a top-notch product. Academician Mollonier answered the Crown Prince's question.

The group came to the front of this first-class diesel engine, and looking at this huge diesel engine, Edel was silent. Academician Mollonier was full of pride and said the data of this new diesel engine. "This new diesel engine is 1.5 meters long, 0.8 meters wide and 1 meter high, with a power output of 30 horsepower, and can work trouble-free for more than 200 hours" Eder found that it was indeed much smaller after comparing the unmodified diesel engine next to it.

"Academician Molonier thank you for your contribution to the kingdom, whether this diesel engine can continue to be smaller without changing the power output, this will play a greater role." Eder asked Academician Molonier.

"It's still okay." The academician replied.

"Academician diesel engines now have two directions, large-scale and miniaturized. I hope that academicians can do more research in this area. Eder spoke to Academician Molonir about the afterlife's experience.

"Your Highness, I'll do research on this." Academician Molonir replied facing the crown prince.

It is self-evident what the diesel engine will mean to Eder, who knows the future generations. Eder intends to use this diesel engine to push agriculture to mechanized farming, to push the surplus population from the countryside to the cities, and to drive the peasants into the cities to become workers.

This is the best way to not use power against the big landlords in the country now. The premise of all this is that the First World War broke out, the products of the factories could flow to the countries of Europe, the industrialists would hire more workers and pay higher wages, and more people would be attracted to the cities, so that the big landowners would use mechanical farming because of the lack of manpower, and Eder would be able to do what he wanted when everyone tasted the sweetness.
