The silver crisis is gradually gone, the wounds caused by the silver crisis are healing rapidly, and the economies of Western countries have entered a stage of rapid recovery. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The decline of the silver industry was inevitable, the Chinese Empire abandoned the silver standard, which led to the outbreak of the silver crisis, after the silver crisis, the countries that still used the silver standard quickly abandoned the silver standard and switched to the gold standard, and finally the price of silver fell irreparable, except for the companies that did not fail in the silver crisis, for a long time, there were no new companies related to the silver industry.

The worldwide financial crisis triggered by the silver crisis affected all industries, but in this financial crisis, two industries were less affected, and after the economic depression passed, these two industries developed further, and countless businessmen invested large sums of money in these two industries.

These two industries, one is the airship industry, which is valued by governments, and the other is the automotive industry.

Needless to say, in order to cope with the airship deterrence of the Chinese Empire, various countries have increased their investment in the airship industry, hoping to build advanced airships as soon as possible.

The automotive industry is an emerging industry, which started slower than the airship industry, but its status is no worse than that of the airship industry.

Interestingly, both the airship industry and the automobile industry in Western countries exploded under the influence of the Chinese Empire.

In 1885, Western countries appeared more serious about automobile products, although the birth of the car has attracted the attention of many people, but the ugliness of the original car, the comfort level makes it difficult for many people to accept, at this time the automobile industry is still in further development, but the speed of development is not fast.

In the second year of Xinghua (1890), the Chinese Empire held a military parade, and two more modern cars appeared, which attracted wide attention from the world.

How the rich people of the West wanted to get such a perfect car, but nowhere to find it, the cars of the Chinese Empire were not exported, and the Chinese Empire made strict decrees that not a single car, a single part, would leave the Chinese Empire.

Although foreigners cannot take Beidou cars out of the Chinese Empire, foreign businessmen can make requests to watch and ride Beidou cars with their Chinese Imperial partners by virtue of their connections, which does not violate the regulations and allows foreigners to learn more about Beidou cars.

Foreign automotive industry practitioners were stunned, Beidou Automobile in all aspects such as styling, performance, comfort, etc., completely crushed foreign cars, many practitioners looked at the "garbage" in front of them and were disheartened, but there are also many practitioners who saw the way out of the automotive industry, ready to continue to work hard, such a good reference has appeared in front, imitation will not?

Rich people in the West want to get a Beidou car as their "mount", but they can't do anything about it.

The more they can't get it, the more they want to get it, since the Beidou car of the Chinese Empire can't get it, then let their country make a car similar to the Beidou car, or even make a better car, how can the white race be compared to the yellow race.

As businessmen, they are full of vision and can find the prospects of the automobile industry, and take advantage of the fact that the automobile industry in their own country has not yet risen, and quickly invest in funds, because they can obtain rich benefits.

In 1885, Germany's Benz and Daimler respectively put gasoline engines on automobiles to manufacture more formal cars, and in this year, Britain's Butler also invented a car with a gasoline engine, in addition to Italy's Bernard also invented a car, and Russia's Puchlov and Vlopov invented a car equipped with an internal combustion engine.

Almost all of these early automotive industry practitioners established automobile manufacturing companies to manufacture automobiles, but some of these automobile companies barely survived, and some went bankrupt due to poor management.

Now a large amount of money into the automotive industry, the car manufacturers who accept the investment have a large amount of money to develop the car, Beidou Automobile has become the blueprint for most automobile manufacturers to manufacture cars, after all, Beidou Automobile is the first company in the world to start mass production of automobiles, Beidou Automobile has been accepted by most people, imitation Beidou Automobile can achieve success faster.

It is not only the wealthy in Western countries who have converged on the automotive industry, but even the Western aristocracy has joined in the feast.

In the early days, automobiles were luxuries, which only the aristocracy and the rich could afford, and the rich were not necessarily nobles, most of the nobles were rich.

The comparison of the favorite things between the nobles, the comparison of clothing, food, housing and transportation.

Before that, there were carriages and boats, but the limitations of the ship were too great, and more of them were compared to carriages, and all kinds of richly decorated carriages became the "mounts" of the nobles.

Now there are new products for transportation: airships and cars, airships are better than cars, but this is something that top nobles and big businessmen can play, airships are very expensive, and at this time the West cannot make safe airships that can be put into use.

But the car is different, the car is so different from the carriage, and the price of the car will not reach the outrageous price of the airship, most of the nobles can afford the car, the car can replace the carriage to become the "mount" of the nobles, and also become the object of comparison of the nobles.

A large part of the explosion of the Western automobile industry came from the Western aristocracy.

The fastest-growing country in the automotive industry in Western countries is Germany, the second is the United States, and the United Kingdom, France, Italy and other countries are a little behind.

The inventors of the earliest more formal automobiles were Germans, which is also the reason for the rapid development of the German automotive industry.

The United States is the country with the most investment in the automotive industry, attracted by a large amount of money, countless people have poured into the automotive industry to accelerate the development of the American automotive industry.

The original car is easy to build, there is not much technical content, with a little mechanical knowledge, you can piece together a rudimentary car, as for the performance of such a car, you can imagine.

The big sales of Beidou cars in the Chinese Empire deeply stimulated Western countries, and practitioners in the automobile industry thought to themselves: if they made an existence comparable to Beidou cars, they could obtain countless wealth.

Passionate blood burns in the bodies of those who work in the automotive industry.
