Chapter 321: The Explosion of the Automobile Industry (Part II)

[A little depressed, Carvin everywhere, when he is in a bad mood, he will also be Carvin, speechless, and he doesn't want to write a word]

No matter how the foreign automobile industry develops, it is completely different from the automobile industry of the Chinese Empire. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Not to mention the various indicators of the car itself, the automobile production of the Chinese Empire alone has completely exploded in Western countries.

In the second year of Xinghua, Beidou Automobile produced a total of 11,374 vehicles, while there were only a few dozen in Western countries.

In the three years of Xinghua, Beidou Automobile produced a total of 28,533 vehicles, and Western countries produced more than 120 vehicles.

The biggest difference between the Chinese Empire and Western countries is that the Chinese Empire has been able to mass-produce durable cars, and use assembly lines to produce up to more than 100 cars per day, while the automobile industry in Western countries has just developed not long ago, car manufacturers are exploring and exploring automotive technology, and there is no mass production of cars of a certain specification, and more importantly, Western car manufacturers are using backward production and assembly technology, and the time to produce a car has greatly increased.

The proportion of the rich in the Chinese Empire is very small, but when you count the total population of the Chinese Empire of more than 400 million, no matter how small the proportion is, the number of rich people will reach a huge number.

Taking the cheapest Yaoguang of Beidou cars as an example, the price of a Yaoguang is only 15,000 Chinese dollars, which is only equivalent to the previous 1,500 taels of silver, and the figure of 1,500 taels is not much to say that it is not too much, but it is an astronomical amount for ordinary people, and for the rich, it may only be the cost of their families for a month.

Basically, the wealthy who can start a small factory can afford to buy a Yaoguang.

Comparison is everywhere, not only foreigners like to compare, the Chinese Empire also likes to compare, before the comparison of road construction has not ended, the car this novelty has appeared, some rich people own their own cars as the object of comparison.

For example, if a certain county wants to hold a banquet and ask all the rich people in the county to attend, and see other rich people coming in a car and coming in a horse-drawn carriage, it will seem inferior, and hurry up to buy a car to decorate the façade.

When they also own a car, they will feel that they do not lose in buying a car, that a car is much stronger than a horse-drawn car, not only is it fast, but it is also comfortable to sit in.

After everyone had a car, some rich people began to compare whose car was better, so that the sales volume of Beidou Automobile's Kaiyang was not much less than that of Yaoguang.

Beidou Motors has three main customer groups, one is the rich people of the empire, one is the military and political officials of the empire, and the other is the royal comptoir itself.

With the development of the Chinese Empire, the number of wealthy people in the Chinese Empire is increasing, and cars have almost become the standard for the rich.

The military and political officials of the empire, their annual salary is quite large, enough to afford a car, making the military and political officials the main customer group of Beidou Motors, but some military and political officials prefer to be rewarded by Yan Xueyi.

As the largest commercial organization in the Chinese Empire, the Royal Comptoir naturally had to buy a large number of cars for their own use, and the Royal Comptoir had to send cars to each county and city, as little as two or three, and as many as five or six or even seven or eight, adding up, the number of cars demanded by the Royal Comptoir had exceeded 5,000, but this number was still a bit less, and the Royal Comptoir would continue to buy.

The assembly line of Beidou Automobile has not stopped construction, and Xinghua built seven new production lines in two years, making the assembly line of Beidou Automobile reach ten, and if workers work in three shifts, it can assemble 40,000 cars a year.

In the third year of Xinghua, Beidou Automobile built a branch factory and added five assembly lines to increase the output of Beidou Automobiles, but when it was not necessary, Beidou Automobile would not rush to work day and night, so that the assembly line would run 24 hours a day.

In the second year of Xinghua, Beidou cars only have three models of Tianshu, Kaiyang and Yaoguang, and in the third year of Xinghua, Beidou cars have more Tianquan, and the price of Tianquan is higher than that of Kaiyang, reaching 80,000 Chinese dollars, although the price is high, but some rich people can also afford it, but no one buys Tianquan, except for Yan Xueyi to give dozens of Tianquan to his courtiers, only the nobles of the empire buy Tianquan, which also makes Tianquan a special vehicle for nobles, even if ordinary rich people can afford to buy Tianquan, they will not buy Tianquan, It's an invisible shackle.

Beidou Automobile is a subsidiary of the Royal Automobile Group, the Royal Automobile Group is not only Beidou Automobile this car brand, now the Royal Automobile Group also has a specialized production of buses, trains, the production of military vehicles enterprises, but these three enterprises are still developing models, and after the vehicle is finalized, it will mass produce cars.

It is worth mentioning that Beidou Automobile has sent the unimportant parts used in the assembly of automobiles to other factories for OEM, which further improves the efficiency of Beidou Automobile in the production of automobiles.

To Beidou Automobile OEM parts, the majority of the income is taken away by Beidou Automobile, OEM factory only gets some hard money, but this is also a stable income, the outside world is more businessmen want to obtain OEM qualifications, after all, Beidou Automobile will handle most of the things well, directly invest a sum of money in, you can sit and wait for money to make money, do not have to be afraid of losing money.

However, the Royal Motor Group gave this OEM power to the imperial aristocracy, which can be regarded as giving the nobles a stable financial route, and at the same time making the royal family and the aristocratic class more closely connected.

So Yongyi Beidou Automobile Factory near the establishment of a large number of factories, these factories are all the production of Beidou car parts, a Beidou car-based production chain formally established, with the development of the Chinese Empire, the empire of more and more rich people, the Chinese Empire's automobile industry will also develop rapidly, more people because of the automotive industry benefits.

In fact, there are businessmen in the Chinese Empire who want to enter the automobile industry, create a car brand, and produce cars, which can be carried out in foreign countries, but it is very difficult and almost impossible to carry out in the Chinese Empire, and one of the most important reasons is the technological blockade.

Automobile companies in Western countries only use gasoline engines with less than 4 horsepower to make cars (in 1885, the Germans used engines of about 1 horsepower to make cars), but the gasoline engines used by Beidou cars are at least 10 horsepower, and the gap between the two cars is widened.

Such an engine once violent. If it is exposed, it will improve the science and technology of the West, and the Western countries will be able to imitate the same engine, after all, the technical content is not too high, and the strength of the Western countries can still be imitated, which indirectly raises the strength of the Western countries.

However, stimulated by a large amount of money, Western countries will be able to produce similar engines sooner or later, and at that time, the Royal Comptoir can take out its own technology in advance, cultivate a large number of domestic car brands, and crush the foreign automobile industry.
