A year ago, Henry Ford returned to the United States with his family, to this familiar city, familiar hometown, familiar courtyard.

Compared to the decadence of a few years ago, this time, Henry Ford is no longer as worried about the things of investors as he used to be.

Although in the years in the Far East, Henry Ford always had to be distracted to help Wang Sirui do something else, but there is no doubt that those days were Henry Ford's happiest days.

Because of the frequent research on other types of vehicles in the Far East, such as trucks, tractors, and even rudimentary versions of armored vehicles, Henry Ford and his team accumulated a lot of research and development experience.

The Ford Model T, which was supposed to be on the market in 1908, was officially unveiled in April 1904, more than four years ahead of history.

In addition, because there were not too many models studied in the front, this car, which should be called the Model T, was named the Ford Model E.

A year ago, Henry Ford returned to Michigan with a lot of money, and in just half a year, he set up his own factory, then commissioned the equipment, trained the staff, and by last month, a full 50,000 E-cars had been produced, and as the workers became more familiar with the process, the pace of production became faster and faster.

As for the pricing of the Model E, Henry Ford did not call the shots, but gave advice, he felt that they should define ordinary people as their customers, so that all ordinary people can have their own car.

Because of the production method of the assembly line, the manufacturing cost of an E-type car is only about 500 US dollars, of course, if Wang Sirui, a person who has seen a real assembly line in later generations, proposed changes to the assembly line equipment, this cost will be about 650 US dollars.

Historically, the Ford Model T was priced at $850, which didn't actually make much, but the later maintenance was very profitable.

At the same time, cars on the market cost about $4,700, which is equivalent to the salary of an average high school teacher for six years.

So, in the present, the car is equivalent to the symbol of status of the wealthy.

Wang Sirui is not a good person, and he will not deliberately lower the price in order to compete for the market.

Someone else sells 4700, and he sells 4000 may not be very attractive, but what about selling 2,000? This is bound to attract a large number of middle-class consumers to come and buy.

Coupled with Wang Sirui's requirements for quality control, the E-type car currently shown in front of everyone is already a high-end version.

And his final price is only $1,166, which is equivalent to the salary of an average middle school teacher for four months a year, which will certainly make many ordinary people stop.

But don't forget, it's not that they can't afford it, but they don't want to buy it, and once someone around them buys it, and they have experienced how great the car is, they may be tempted, but they are excited and make up their minds to buy a car.

Wall Street, as the economic center of the United States and one of the centers of the world economy, is where tens of thousands of people work every day, and the flow of people is also the most concentrated place in the United States.

At one end of Wall Street, outside a factory-like house that looks a little bigger, there is a huge propaganda slogan that attracts everyone's attention.

And around this 'factory', it was surrounded by onlookers, bustling, and very chaotic, and the New York police had to send a large number of police forces to maintain order.

"Officer John, hurry in and see if it's true? How is this possible, a world-class car that only needs to pay $1,166 to drive home. A middle-aged American uncle read the billboard with some suspicion to a familiar police friend.

Such advertisements were all over the streets in later generations, but none of them really took a look, because no one believed them.

But here, in the early twentieth century, this kind of exaggerated advertising slogan has never appeared, and this kind of advertising slogan has not been played badly, so his attraction effect is still very good.

These days, there is a lot of publicity not only in the vicinity of this 4S store, but also throughout New York and other economically developed parts of the United States, and of course, all small advertisements, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on publicity, and likewise, attracting enough people for them.

"How is that possible? Wells, I think you must have drunk too much to believe such an advertisement, do you know how expensive a car is to make? If they dare to sell for this price, I guarantee that they will lose money and even sell their pants. John said with a look of disdain.

There is a car in the police station, it is the treasure of the whole police station, it cost nearly 5,000 dollars to buy it back, that was half a year ago, but now someone told him that a car only costs 1166 US dollars, even if he killed him, he couldn't believe it.

"We can't get in now, you're a police officer, you can use this identity to go in and have a look, John, please, just go in and help find out." Wells pleaded.

Wells is just an ordinary office worker, because he has some skills, so his annual salary has reached 2,000 US dollars, and he is also considered a white-collar worker in the United States, if this car really only sells for 1166 US dollars, and it is not bad, buying a car is also a good choice for him.

"Okay, then I'll go in and get some news for you." John seems to be a little moved, this price, even he can afford it, isn't it less than a year's salary, for him, the sheriff, it is still very easy.

"Jon, keep an eye on this place for me, don't get anything out of the ordinary, Smith, you come in with me." John commanded to a dozen officers.

After learning that John was going in to inquire about the news, everyone calmed down.

Merchants will deceive people, but Sheriff John will not deceive them, and they will find out in a little while.

Because they were police, the staff of the 4S store did not dare to stop John and Smith, and the two squeezed through the crowd and easily entered the store.

"Hi Sheriff John, long time no see." After seeing John, a middle-aged man immediately put down his work and greeted him with a smile.

"George, what the hell are you doing? Do you want to go to jail? Sheriff John asked solemnly, although New York is very big, but John's popularity is very good, as long as there are people in this area, John knows almost all of them, obviously, this store manager George, John and him are also friends.

"No, I don't want to go to jail, I'm just doing what the company asks me to do."

"Then you shouldn't lie to anyone, you can buy the world's most advanced car for $1,166, do you think it's possible?"

"Before I saw the car, I thought it wasn't possible, and I even wondered if it was the most advanced car in the world. But now, I see it, whether it's comfort or appearance, or the performance of the car, I guarantee that there is no car in this world that can surpass it. As for the price, I confirmed it with the company no less than ten times, and it is indeed $1166. George said excitedly, and then pulled John to the back, which was a parking lot, and there were ten cars in it, all samples.

Because there are no commercial transporters, they are now all in a vacant lot near the train station, and they have hired a number of people to take care of the security, and after the order is confirmed, they will take these people there to pick up the car.

"Well, the appearance looks good, although it is a little small, but it is very delicate." When John saw the prototype car, his eyes lit up, and he had to admit that the appearance of this car did look very comfortable, and he couldn't help but want to buy one.

"Let's go in and experience it." George opened the door to the cab.

"Huh? Why is it so soft? It feels like sitting on the couch. John sat in the driver's seat, and there was a soft feeling on his buttocks, and the same was true on his back, very comfortable, unlike the car in the police station, which was stiff to sit on, and it was better to sit in a chair.

"This is the idea of referring to the sofa, and the sofa is moved to the car to ensure the comfort of the occupants." George pointed to the seat belt, which was definitely a big invention, but in order to save costs and add problems such as manufacturing technology, this is a simple version of the seat belt.

"It's a seat belt that keeps the front seat safer in the event of a car accident." George pulled the seat belt out, then locked one end on the buckle, and manually locked the bottom of the seat belt, if it is not locked here, the seat belt has no effect.

"With a completely new technology, it is capable of reaching a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour, and with a full tank of fuel, it can last more than 400 kilometers. Now the car is stationary, so you can't feel how good it is, and we can come out and take a look at the suspension damping system, which is definitely the best design in the world, even if you go into a bad road area, it will definitely not make you feel like you are broken. With that, George stood on the front tire of the car and pressed it down hard, and the car began to shake twice, and then returned to normal.

"Is this car really only selling for $1,166?" John has been completely shocked by this car, compared to the internal configuration, it can surpass the car in the police station by a large margin, and the maximum speed is far beyond that car, surpassing in all directions, but the price is only less than a quarter of the car, as long as it is a person, it will be tempted.

"Yes, it's only $1,166."

"I'm going to buy one, drive it now, and I'll personally send you the money in the evening." John had already made up his mind to buy one, and said excitedly.

"John, it's not that I don't want to sell it to you, but the company stipulates that this car will be sold tomorrow. But as a friend, I can give you a convenience, now you can pay two hundred dollars as a deposit, and then tomorrow you can use the rest of the money to buy it, and I promise to keep a car for you. After speaking, George smiled evilly: "Now please come down, I have purchased this car in full, and I can drive away tomorrow." (To be continued.) )
