"The Americans are also here to intervene? Hmph, these guys seem to really remember what they eat and don't remember! They actually secretly supported the Xingzhong Society, and actually trained agents for the Xingzhong Society? Well, are the Americans really going against me this time? ”

Since Wang Guorui knew from that Hu Hanmin that the Americans wanted to add disgust to Wang Guorui, of course Wang Guorui couldn't sit idly by. Because this American is causing chaos to Wang Guorui behind his back, it is obviously deliberately giving Wang Guorui eye medicine, can Wang Guorui sit idly by? And if this Xingzhong Association is supported by the Americans, then the next step will definitely be to give them wings. Originally, Xingzhong would accept the support of the Japanese, but it was only within a controllable range. Because the Japanese are not strong, coupled with the existence of Akashi Motojiro, a super traitor, he is naturally not afraid of them turning the sky upside down. However, if there is the support of this American, it is equivalent to giving Xingzhong another channel, and the threat to Wang Guorui will definitely be much greater.

Wang Guorui thought for a while, and then took the initiative to make a call to the Iron Horse Automobile Company.

Soon, Tiema Automobile Company announced that because of the increase in product costs and the increase in labor costs, it planned to increase the price of cars by 30%. This news suddenly became clear to many people all over the world, because this Iron Horse Automobile Company is currently the most mature automobile company in the world, that is, the car brand under Wang Guorui. However, this car has not been able to be completely self-produced at present, and a considerable part of it is produced through the Red Alert system. Because the current artificial production technology is not up to standard, if all manual production is used, the reliability is not very good, and it is easy to turn off halfway. So of course, Wang Guorui can't use these broken cars to fool consumers. However, he also used this car to make huge profits, which is also one of the important sources of Wang Guorui's income. Because the windfall profits of automobiles can also be known from later generations.

Although other countries are also able to produce cars, the problem is similar to Wang Guorui's. Reliability is poor. Often a hundred kilometers have to turn off the engine several times, not as good as the cars produced by the red alarm system. Therefore, at this stage, it is still the cars produced in the red alarm system that can be practical, so that they can obtain enough export income. At present, it is in the golden time of Wang Guorui's car, coupled with Wang Guorui's adoption of the model of small profits and quick turnover, so that the car will soon be rolled out quickly.

Wang Guorui currently adopts the method of small profits but quick turnover, and the profit margin is not high. Of course. This is only not high in the calculation method of foreigners, because the price is almost about five percent more than the cost, and if you count all kinds of others, it may be to make money at a loss and cultivate the market. But no one knows that Wang Guorui is actually produced in the Red Police Base, and the production cost of the Red Police Base is actually only 20% of the cost price of raw materials, which is not high. So it seems that Wang Guorui is losing money and making money, but Wang Guorui has been able to get at least 50% of the profit.

However, the news reached the United States via wireless telegraph. Immediately attracted the attention of a person.

"Father, the Iron Horse Automobile Company under the Emperor of China has increased its price by 30 percent, and according to our current projections, the car market will shrink by more than 50 percent in the future, which is very unfavorable to us!" Rockefeller's son said.

Old Rockefeller looked at the telegram, then fell into deep thought, and finally said: "This is the emperor of China who is beating us!" ”

"Father, have I had any trouble with him lately? How can he warn and beat us? You know, we've worked together before. They sell cars at low prices, and then they cultivate a market for the use of oil, so that we can increase our wealth, and for our oil wealth, we can increase it, and then we have more influence. However, if he wants to raise the market price by 30 percent, then our oil industry will also be affected! Rockefeller Jr. asked.

This Rockefeller had previously reached an agreement with Wang Guorui. Wang Guorui sells cars at "cost price", so that the use time of the car can be cultivated, so that the oil market of Rockefeller is more extensive, and then more and larger scales are used. You must know that before the invention of internal combustion engines such as automobiles, the channels for the use of oil were very narrow. It is nothing more than an oil lamp or some ordinary fuel, which has a very narrow range of use. However, oil lamps are also gradually withdrawing from the market, and the invention of electric lamps has made oil lamps almost no market.

And Wang Guorui made this car, which means that the amount of oil consumption will increase dramatically in the future, and of course he attaches great importance to Rockefeller, the oil king. Although Rockefeller is currently one of the richest people in the world, no matter how rich he is, he still has to abide by the most basic economic laws. Even those American conglomerates in later generations, they all seem to have great power, but no matter how great their power is, it is no more than the most common truth, the law of economics. If someone needs their products, they will be able to have a market and a steady stream of wealth. Their power is based on the fact that the people need their products so that they have enough economic power to influence the government. If the people don't need it, they won't be able to continue to have power.

And this oil industry is also like this, if the people don't need to talk about oil, he, the oil king, is nothing, and his oil will suddenly become a garbage stock. This is one of the reasons why it is difficult to develop various new energy sources in later generations, those old energy consortia, and those oil-exporting countries are unwilling to withdraw traditional energy from the market so quickly to protect their vested interests.

But for now, Rockefeller naturally wants the development of automobiles, and then more to seek profits, so that his oil is more valuable. Only when the demand for oil increases, can the corresponding value be increased, which is the principle that scarcity is expensive. As with everything, basic economic principles are not something that can be changed by policy. Housing prices are high in some big cities, but this is also because of the large population, which pours in a lot of people every year. However, the housing prices in those second- and third-tier cities are relatively low, but they cannot be sold.

Demand determines value, so Rockefeller naturally wanted more people in the world who needed oil so that he could get more value. But now Wang Guorui has actually increased the price of cars, which means that the threshold for using cars has been raised very high. You must know that the wealth of this world is also a pyramid model, and most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a small number of people. This has been a theorem since ancient times, and the higher the rank, the higher the proportion of wealth relative to the wealth.

In other words, although Wang Guorui only raised the price of cars by 30%, it means that it is not just a 30% reduction in the market, but a contraction of 50% or even more of the market. Once this happens, then Rockefeller, of course, is not very satisfied.

"Father, why did he do this?" Rockefeller Jr. asked.

The elder Rockefeller replied: "The Chinese emperor has just been assassinated, and he probably knows that the U.S. government is behind the opposition group, so of course he is dissatisfied with us." He knew that if we wanted our power in the United States, we must have already known about the things that the US government was supporting behind our backs, but he complained that we did not stop it. It was okay if we didn't stop him, but we didn't inform him, and that's the real reason why he was unhappy with me. So he deliberately raised the price by thirty percent, that is, in the hope of hitting our future development potential. If fewer people use cars, it means that our future development potential is reduced. ”

"But father, why do they associate politics with our business?" Rockefeller Jr. asked.

Little Rockefeller was obviously dissatisfied, because this kingdom Rui linked politics and business, so it was obvious that the Rockefeller family had suffered an unjustified disaster this time. This kind of thing is completely deliberately pitting them. In the West, politics and business are completely separate, and even if they are connected, they are not so obvious. But this Wang Guorui is so red and fruitful, mixing business and politics. If he loses politically, then he will retaliate against you in business, anyway, he has money and has mastered the lifeblood of Rockefeller, and he is not afraid.

"Well, now that they've told me, I can't remain indifferent. I'm going to lobby the bureaucrats to stop supporting the Xingzhong Society. Rockefeller Sr. said.

However, Rockefeller Jr. immediately asked, "Then let's just forget it, shall we?" Wouldn't it be very unsafe for us if their car technology had been in their hands all the time? ”

"That's right, we have to develop our own cars as soon as possible, and only by breaking China's automotive technology can we not be blackmailed by his technology. Therefore, immediately set up an automobile research and development department, even if it is a waste of money, this car will be smashed. There is an old saying in the Chinese that eggs cannot be put in the same basket. The Chinese may not be completely reliable, we still have to rely on ourselves. I do my own research so that I will not be blackmailed by the Chinese. Rockefeller Sr. said.

Where did the old Rockefeller go to the phone, then dialed a number, and then reached some so-called political exchanges of interests with the other party, so that they could reach some mutually acceptable conditions, and then let them do some transactions, and then the old Rockefeller could also make interest transactions with Wang Guorui again.
