Chapter 301: Send a car to Cixi
When the car was produced, Wang Guorui's automobile company was also established. And according to his and Rockefeller's request, that is, the company is under the name of Tanya, who is the legal representative of the automobile production company. As for the next step, the United States and Taiwan each set up a branch factory to produce cars. However, the real automobile production plant is actually still set up in the United States for the time being, and the so-called automobile production plant in Taiwan is also the chariot factory. The tank factories are currently used to produce these civilian vehicles, and are not capable of producing tanks and other vehicles. This is actually because Taiwan is currently unable to develop an internal combustion engine that can carry tanks. However, Wang Guorui didn't want the chariot factory to be idle, so for the time being, it was used to produce cars.
"Hehe, the car has been produced, so I have to find someone to help buy it! As for the first target of advertising, who else can there be besides the old witch! Wang Guorui thought.
Wang Guorui quickly made the chariot factory produce a specially designed car, called the No. 3 car. As soon as the No. 3 car rolled off the assembly line, it was immediately sent to the clipper and transported to Tianjin. Fortunately, this ship is small and uses the best steam turbines, and this is a ship dedicated to Wang Guorui for expedited transportation. And this ship from Nanyang to Taiwan, but it only took five or six days, and Tanya used this ship to escort the Ryokara back to Taiwan. And now Wang Guorui is using this kind of ship to transport cars to Tianjin, that is, it took four or five days.
"Queen Mother Lafayette, the Governor of Taiwan has asked you to give you a gift!" Li Lianying said.
"Taiwan? The one surnamed Wang will give gifts to the mourning family? Cixi was surprised.
Cixi really didn't expect that Taiwan's Wang Guorui would actually come out of the sun in the west and would actually give him a gift. This is simply incredible, but since it is a gift, it is also going to be accepted. What's more, Cixi also felt strange, why did Wang Guorui give him a gift, and what was it that was given?
"The Queen Mother, Zhou Chen, the Minister of Taiwan's Beijing Office, has seen the Queen Mother. And this time it was on the orders of our king. came to give gifts to the Queen Mother. This is our Tiema brand car, specially designed for the Queen Mother! Zhou Chen said.
"Cars?" Cixi was a little surprised.
Cixi looked at this two-story thing, probably more than two meters high, and couldn't imagine it. As for Cixi, when she saw this thing, she actually took the initiative to drive it over. This made Cixi feel very shocked, this can move things by herself, what is that?
"Queen Mother, this is a car, something that can take you to play." Zhou Chen said.
"How can this be played with the mourning family?" Cixi asked.
Zhou Chen took the initiative to introduce: "Queen Mother." You can go up the ramp and go up to the upper floor, and then you can see the view from the Guò window. The driver below will take you around and you can see all kinds of scenery. And this home is equipped with springs, so you don't have to worry about bumps, it is higher than ordinary sedan chairs, and it is stable and not bumpy. As long as you sit on it, you can completely enjoy the scenery from all over the world! Zhou Chen said.
"Oh? The big iron horse that can drive by itself, the mourning family goes up and has a look! Cixi said.
"Queen Mother, don't be on guard!" Li Lianying said immediately.
Li Lianying was very worried. If Wang Guorui puts a bomb on this car at that time, I am afraid it will be very dangerous. At that time, the Empress Dowager Cixi is afraid that she will be blown up, and at that time, the Empress Dowager of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will suffer huge losses. So Li Lianying is tied to the Empress Dowager Cixi, if there is any accident in Cixi, then he is afraid that he will really fall out of favor, and even be to blame. So Li Lianying had to worry about this problem, so he didn't approve of Cixi going up to experience this car.
"It doesn't matter, the mourning family believes that the governor of Taiwan Wang is a smart person, even if there is an accident in the mourning family. Nothing will change for this situation! Cixi said.
Cixi certainly knew that as a person who had managed the country for many years, he naturally thought that Wang Guorui was a smart person. Cixi and Wang Guorui are actually the highest representatives of two classes and two ideologies. They belong to the absolute "contradiction between friend and foe". In fact, Cixi was the supreme representative of the corrupt forces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the final analysis, and Cixi was only able to speak on their behalf. If Cixi could not represent them, then they would all abandon Cixi. And even if Wang Guorui killed Cixi, it would be useless, because the Manchu Qing could send another representative to confront Wang Guorui again at any time.
So, suppose Cixi was assassinated. When Cixi arrives at Lord Yama, he will never sue Wang Guorui, because he believes that Wang Guorui is a smart person and will not be stupid enough to think that assassinating Cixi will also win the world. Therefore, people within the Manchu Qing Dynasty may assassinate Cixi, but Wang Guorui will not assassinate Cixi, which is Cixi's self-confidence. There may be many people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty who hate Cixi, but Wang Guorui would not be so stupid to assassinate Cixi, which will do more harm than good to Wang Guorui. After all, as a politician, assassination is often a last resort. If you can use political means, don't use assassination to kill your opponent, after all, assassination is very annoying. In this kind of situation, it is useless to kill Cixi, Cixi believes that Wang Guorui will not come to assassinate him, after all, for Wang Guorui, this method will do more harm than good.
Assassinations, in fact, are mostly the internal contradictions of the ruling class that are really useful. For example, those revolutionary parties came to the revolution by assassination, which is actually very stupid. Because the other party's class foundation is still very solid, as a class, they have countless people who can go up, and if one dies, they will have another to go up, even if it is the Empress Dowager Cixi, who is known as the Empress Dowager. As long as the class does not fall, no matter how much assassination is killed, it will not be able to have a good effect. So there is no need for Wang Guorui to assassinate, and it is useless to assassinate.
"Oh, it's comfortable, this sofa is so comfortable!" Cixi finally couldn't help but say.
"Queen Mother, this one is filled with sponge, which is very soft and comfortable." Zhou Chen said.
And the design of this car is very special, that is, the passenger is located above, that is, on the top of the driver's head. In other cars, the driver is in the front and the passengers are in the back. And the reason why Wang Guorui did this was because he remembered an allusion about Cixi in history. That is, a foreign country sent a car, and after Cixi sat it once, she threw it into the treasury inappropriately. As for the reason, Cixi's evaluation at that time was that the driver of this car sat in the front and the master sat in the back, so where is there any difference between master and servant? Isn't that the servant crawling in front of his master?
And Wang Guorui wants to advertise, so naturally he has to follow Cixi's method. So he took the initiative to let Cixi sit on top of the driver's head, and then this not only could see a larger field of vision, but also avoided the idea that the servant ran in front of the master in Cixi's heart. And this he was "riding" on top of the driver's head, so that there were no scruples.
So when Cixi saw this arrangement, not only did she not feel that she didn't like the car, but she liked it very much. After all, after solving the situation of "master and servant", Cixi still likes cars very much, at least this car is faster than the sedan chair, and it is more stable than the sedan chair. It's not like a sedan chair, once something happens, I'm afraid the sedan chair driver will shake it. What's more, this car can enjoy the scenery while walking, which is something that most sedan chairs can't do.
"Queen Mother, what do you think?" Zhou Chen asked.
"Well, since Governor Wang has this piece of heart, then the mourning family will accept it!" Cixi said.
And Zhou Chen was happy for a while, because he knew that as long as he got through this pass of Cixi, then the promotion of this car would be very smooth. After all, the Chinese have a tradition of being poor and rich, rich and official, and studying in the palace. In other words, the court is actually the source of a popular factor, and what the nobles in the palace like, the officials also like. And the officials brought the rich, the rich led the poor, and the popular models came step by step. And some people said that the king of Chu has a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace. And since the king of Chu liked the thin waist, the Chinese women began to pursue the thin waist, and there was not much change until later generations. So you can imagine how great the influence of the court was.
And this Cixi took over the car, then the next orders will be rolling in, and it will be impossible to stop it at all. At that time, I am afraid that this car will become a very important profit point, bringing huge wealth to Taiwan, and it will definitely be a very profitable business at that time. Who wouldn't want to do such a lucrative business?
Automobiles have just come out, and they are completely monopolistic businesses, which can make a large number of people money, and then they can develop Taiwan's local area. And the role of the automotive industry in driving the industry is very huge. This Wang Guorui also read and knew in later generations that the driving force of a car for the industry can make the upstream and downstream begin to develop, and this car must be engaged. Even Wang Guorui plans to gradually disclose the manufacturing method of this car to Chinese businessmen, so that Chinese businessmen can also join in, which is very helpful for the stimulation of industry. Once an industrial chain of the automobile industry is formed, the development speed of the industry will be very rapid increase. And the enthusiasm of those businessmen to invest in the industrial industry will also gradually increase. (To be continued.) )
