Laurins and Clements were Czechoslovakians, bohemians in the broadest sense of the word, imbued with a special cultural flair.

Laurin, a skilled mechanic, and his penchant for riding a bicycle was the driving force behind his early efforts to build motorcycles, and then to the development of automobiles, Clement was a businessman, but not an ordinary businessman, but a successful bookseller, and a very cultured man.

These two people look more literary, and they look like a kind of petty bourgeoisie in their dress, and they are all wearing striped suits, which are not so formal.

When I met with Yang Chao, I still seemed a little restrained, Yang Chao's prestige in China is incomparable, but in the West it is full of legends, it has long been recognized that there is a tradition of piracy in the ancestors, rich and rival the country, and has made achievements, full of a medieval knight legend, so these two people see Yang Chao, just like seeing a legend.

In a brand new car factory in the suburbs of Qingdao, which has extended to the central area of Jiaozhou Bay, a car that has just rolled off the assembly line is placed in the square, this is a car painted red, apparently someone is pointing to them, red is a symbol of good luck in China.

This is a very sleek car, with only two seats, the back of the seat is tilted high up, a bit of a pony carriage, and the design is based on the convenient carriage of Europe.

In front of Laulin and Clement, Yang Chao circled the car three times with satisfaction, as if he was looking at a treasure.

This is the Chinese's own car, although there are foreign shares, but it is Yang Chao Holdings, and the most important thing is to set up factories in China, design and manufacture in China, and train a large number of Chinese technicians.

"How's that, how fast can you run?"

Yang Chao asked.

Laurin's answer to this question is: "Our car is a twin-cylinder, 10 horsepower, and can run at 30 kilometers per hour. ”

Yang Chao is not very interested in the data: "How about it compared with Ford? ”

Ford only produces one car, this is the American engineer culture, to make one thing to the extreme, and the later generations of Apple are also this virtue, Ford is now the Model T.

Laurin replied, "We're not the same type as Ford, they're four-cylinder, they're 20 horsepower, and they're a little bit faster than our car. ”

Merchant Clement's face changed slightly, because he saw Yang Chao's slightly frowning appearance, for fear that Yang Chao would not be satisfied.

Yang Chao sighed and said, "How can it not be compared to the Americans' cars." ”

Laurin said: "Mr. Yang, our research has found that China's car consumers are mainly the wealthy in the city, and the target customers of our car are the middle class in the city. ”

Yang Chao said: "Well, there is some truth. And the price? ”

"Our current price is 500 taels of silver, and if the sales volume can reach more than 100,000 units, it should be reduced to 300 taels, which is about the same price as Ford." ”

Yang Chao frowned: "It's not as good as Ford in terms of performance, but it's so much higher in price, which is really unreasonable." We have to have a sense of mission to produce cars, that is, to make more people afford to use cars, not just as a money-making business, to let the Chinese generation get used to using our cars, then we can win the future. ”

Laurin hurriedly explained: "Mr. Yang, in fact, we can't say that, our C-type car is not as good as Ford's performance, and we are not the same type as Ford's car." ”

Laurin tried to explain the difference between the car models, but it was doomed to be in vain, and seeing Yang Chao's face, Clement hurriedly came up to explain.

"That's right, Mr. Yang, our car is known for its durability and durability, and we want to produce the most reliable car for Chinese consumers. Of course, we also have to compete with the Americans, with China's huge market, we have absolute confidence that we can compete with the Americans. We're going to design bigger cars, the kind of big cars that Americans like. ”

Clement was obviously more talkative as a businessman.

Yang Chao nodded: "That's right, don't hang yourself from a tree, this is China, there are more than 50,000 people, more than the European and American combined, this market is unlimited, at present, my country protects the automobile industry, you have a good era, show your ability to the fullest, and create a miracle." Even if ten cars are developed, this market can be consumed. ”

Then Yang Chao asked them to take a trip to the production workshop, the assembly line production workshop, the production method learned from the United States, and thanks to Ford, after Ford developed the assembly line, it did not hide it from the world, Ford was full of confidence and pride, and generously allowed peers to visit, so this production technology was rapidly promoted.

China introduced the assembly line production process as early as before the war, and after the economic crisis after the war, Yang Chao asked Li Fuan to organize technical personnel to comprehensively promote the assembly line production process in China's production enterprises.

"At the moment we are setting to produce 30,000 cars per year. If the market situation is good, we decided to open up a new production line and hope to produce 100,000 cars a year! ”

Yang Chao was quite dissatisfied when he saw that there was only one production line in their field.

"You are too pessimistic, you know, our country imports tens of thousands of luxury cars, last year imported cars cost tens of millions, your car price is 500 dollars, 10 million can only sell 20,000, but don't ignore the middle class pent-up demand for purchases, once they get cheap cars, let alone 100,000 units, one million is not much. I suggest that you increase production to 100,000 units in a few years, otherwise you will miss the opportunity. ”

Yang Chao sighed, these two people are still too pessimistic, no way, from small European countries, where have you seen supermarkets like China and the United States, although China's middle class is not as good as the United States, but one-third is still there, tens of thousands of senior technicians in the factory, there is no pressure to consume cars at all, you must know that their wages are in line with international standards, senior technical personnel are always lacking, how much money foreigners get, how much money they can get, how can they not afford to buy a car of a few hundred taels of silver.

Clement swallowed his saliva, 30,000 units he is already very bold, it is designed according to China's car imports, and the market potential is also taken into account, but 100,000 units, it is really unimaginable.

Europe's automobile technology is not bad, because their mechanical technology has always been top-notch, not lost to the Americans, but the automobile industry is not as good as the United States, the only difference is that their market is not wide enough, and it is divided in more than a dozen countries.

China, on the other hand, is a huge market, and as the world's second largest industrial country, the middle class is in the millions, close to the tens of millions, and is increasing at a rate of hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, which means that selling a million cars a year is not a problem.

Yang Chao's analysis of China's current economic situation, just like the 21st century, the only thing that is still lacking is highway construction, at present cars can only run in cities with good road conditions, there is no decent road network, the best Shandong has just begun to build a province-wide road network, and other places out of the city are basically dirt roads. Otherwise, it is not impossible for China's auto market to surpass that of the United States.

"So I only give you two suggestions, the first is to increase the number of models, the production of several more models, otherwise consumers are prone to aesthetic fatigue, the second is to increase production, the fastest breakthrough to the million level, take advantage of my country's protection policy, completely occupy the Chinese market, otherwise within three or five years, I dare to say that someone will set foot in this market."

After visiting the car company, Yang Chao gave a suggestion to the two managers.

When he walked out of the door of the automobile company, Yang Chao pointed to the logo of the automobile company and said: "Look, Yangzi Automobile, you should know the meaning of this brand." I would not easily use my name, and if you fail, it will be a disservice to my personal reputation. I want you to feel how much I value you. ”

Yangzi Automobile, Yang Chao used his name for the first time, in addition to Yangzi Bank, there is only one Yangzi Mining using his own name, and there is only this automobile company in the industry, even the arsenal and steel factory do not have this honor.

Laulin and Clement nodded, they did feel Yang Chao's attention, because after their brand was hung up, many people had come to ask them if this was President Yang Da's industry, they could feel the strong reverence for Yang Chao in China, especially Shandong, they didn't know that just this name could bring them 100,000 sales.

After leaving Yangzi Motors, Yang Chao went to the Zeppelin Company, which is now in a depression.

A large number of rooms were vacant, because the production of airships almost stopped, and after the war, Yang Chao stopped the purchase of airships, relying on the civilian market alone, at most a hundred ships per year, which was completely unable to support the huge airship production line in the past.

Another important reason is the vigorous development of the aircraft industry, Lockheed after the exclusion of the United States, obtained Yang Chao's license, he and his engineers can freely go back and forth between China and the United States, so he did not sell the aircraft company, but continued to help Yang Chao develop new aircraft, the performance of the monoplane he produced, has been close to the level before World War II, and other countries are still arguing about which is more in line with the future, biplane or monoplane.

So now one-third of the Zeppelin yard is resold to Lockheed Aircraft, and the remaining two-thirds are vacant, except for two used by Maybach's car team, and as many as 60 or so yards are vacant.

Seeing this situation, Yang Chao was also embarrassed, and sighed that the economic war with the United States was indeed a double-edged sword, hurting others and hurting himself, otherwise the Zeppelin would not have fallen so quickly. (To be continued.) )
