The BMW Model 1 was completely on fire and detonated the entire United States. Tens of thousands of BMW Type 1 cars shipped to the United States were snapped up in less than half a month. And, with the spread of word of mouth, more and more people waved the money in their hands and went to the sales point of Huaxia Automobile Manufacturing Group in the United States, wanting to buy such a car.

However, they got a reply: "Sorry, we don't have stock anymore, the new car is still at sea and it is expected to arrive in a week!" ”

"Hell! Why do you have to make me wait a week? However, for the sake of how delicate and beautiful this car is, I will wait. Please make a reservation for me first, and when the car arrives, I will drive away immediately! A young American man said.

"I'm sorry, sir. The next batch of cars to arrive in the United States has already been booked. If you need to make a reservation, you will have to wait about five weeks. The staff at the point of sale replied.

"Oh God! How is this possible? The American man exclaimed.

This is the craze that the BMW Model 1 caused in the United States, and the whole country went crazy about it. If Huaxia Automobile Manufacturing Group's output can keep up, it is estimated that the annual sales volume will exceed one million. Of course, in the first year of Huaxia Automobile Manufacturing Group, it was only able to produce 100,000 cars. This is not even a tenth of the demand in the United States. This also caused some wealthy people in the United States to start buying from people who bought BMW Type 1 cars at a higher price. In a short period of time, the price of the BMW Model 1 has increased to more than $2,000, which is almost the price of a mainstream car.

Even so, those who have money are still flocking to it. Compared with those cars that claim to be luxurious, the BMW Model 1 is undoubtedly more high-end and high-grade.

It is precisely because of the launch of the BMW Model 1 that it directly leads to those cars sold in the American market. Sales began to decline. Many people are willing to buy a BMW Model 1 at a high price, and they are definitely not willing to buy other brands of cars.

As for Henry, the owner of the Ford Company. Ford, after learning that the sales of BMW Model 1 cars were so hot, had already fainted in the toilet crying. The classic Ford Model T died before it even came out. After all, compared to the BMW Model 1. Whether it is appearance, performance, or price, it has been thrown off several streets. In addition, if the Model T wants to be launched, it will take about half a year. At that time, the entire market may have been occupied by the BMW Model 1, where will there be a living space for the Ford Model T?

Wu Haoxuan plans to seize the US market first, and then land in Europe. Today, Europe has a much larger market than the United States. It can be said that even if Huaxia Automobile Manufacturing Group produces two million or more cars a year, the market will be able to digest it.

Of course, in order to achieve this capacity, it will need to further expand the production capacity. It is not enough to have just one automobile industrial park in Shengjing City. After the unification of the whole country, a number of automobile industrial parks will be established.

The sales of the BMW Model 1 were booming, making the Pierre as far away as the United States. Dupont and David. Rockefeller was very excited. Their respective families also realized that this would be a very lucrative industry. Thereupon. The support for them is even greater. The two families even want to get more shares. After all, that's a profit of hundreds of millions of dollars or more every year! Even if it can be increased by one percentage point, it will be millions or even tens of millions of dollars.

However, Wu Haoxuan is not the time to be poor and white. The Northern Army has a territory of more than four million square kilometers, as well as hundreds of thousands of elite troops. Plus an industrial system that is developing rapidly. Even the Dupont family and the Rockefeller family can't stop sticking to Wu Haoxuan's neck at will. What's more, the relevant patents of automobiles, plus the core design, are all in the hands of Wu Haoxuan. If you put aside Wu Haoxuan's words. They don't want to develop in a short period of time. In addition, even if it is a new stove, it may not be able to compete with Wu Haoxuan's car. Don't forget, in addition to these two families, other big families in the United States may have also set their sights on this hugely profitable business. If they stop cooperating with Wu Haoxuan, I'm afraid the other families will immediately pounce on them and replace them.

In order to make more profits, Pierre. Dupont and David. The two Rockefellers would send telegrams to Wu Haoxuan every day, asking him to send more cars to the United States. For every car sold, that's a profit of $400! The two of them were able to get eighty dollars each.

"Your Excellency, these telegrams from Mr. Dupont and Mr. Rockefeller, without exception, urge us to increase production capacity as soon as possible!" Henry, the manager of the car factory, smiled wryly. During this time, he was also under great pressure.

"Leave them alone, just follow our original plan and expand production step by step." Wu Haoxuan said with a smile. The popularity of the BMW Model 1 in the United States made him completely relieved, this is completely a golden rooster that lays golden eggs! When the production capacity is increased to more than one million vehicles, it will make a profit of $400 million a year. And he owns 60 percent of the shares, which means $240 million in earnings. This income can fully support the domestic industrialization construction in a sustainable manner. Even if it is to pile up money, Wu Haoxuan must definitely establish a perfect industrial system. Only in this way can we achieve faster development in the future.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Henry nodded. After all, Wu Haoxuan is a major shareholder and a real boss, and it is always right to listen to him.

"That's right, Henry. If we adopt a three-shift model, can we increase the production capacity even further? Wu Haoxuan asked.

Henry frowned: "Your Excellency, if that happens, it will aggravate the wear and tear of the machine and reduce the service life. In addition, we don't have enough workers. Today's workers are only able to maintain production. ”

"It doesn't matter if the machines wear out, as long as we can produce more cars, we can make more profits. When the time comes, you can buy machinery and equipment. If there is a shortage of workers, then train more workers from now on. In three months, I hope that the car factory will start working three shifts and supply 25,000 cars per month! Wu Haoxuan said.

If it can be increased to 25,000 vehicles per month, it means that you can make a profit of 10 million dollars every month.

"Yes, Your Excellency Young Marshal, I know!" Henry nodded, he knew that it might be difficult, but if it could be successful, it would bring more profit to the company. And as the general manager, he will definitely get a salary increase and more rewards.

In addition to the BMW Model 1, the motorcycles produced by Wu Haoxuan's motorcycle factory were also marketed in the United States. The two types of motorcycles, which are high and low, have also received great praise in the United States. If the BMW Model 1 is facing the middle and high income people, then the motorcycle is facing the lower class people. After all, even in the United States, the rich are only a small minority. Most of the people are still poor. Motorcycles are a means of transportation that they can afford. As a result, Wu Haoxuan's motorcycle has also become a big seller in the United States, and many more motorcycles have been sold than cars. The profit obtained is not much less than that of a car.

The sales of cars and motorcycles have been successful, so that Wu Haoxuan is completely relieved and can focus on other places.

In mid-April 1908, Wu Haoxuan went to Lushun Fortress again. At this time, the upgrading of the fortress was continuing, and the advanced fortress guns replaced those old fortress guns. At the same time, a large number of fortifications and turrets were built on the back of the fortress, so that the fortress still had a strong fighting force when attacked by the enemy from the flank.

Originally, all the cannons of the Arthur fortress were directed towards the sea. This made the Japanese detour back to the flank and rear of the fortress during the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, and attacked from there and directly captured the fortress. This time, Wu Haoxuan demanded that all the cannons in the fortress be able to make a 360-degree turn. In this case, no matter what direction the Japanese attack from in the future, they will be greeted by the large-caliber heavy artillery of the fortress.

In addition, around the fortress, a number of reinforced concrete bunkers were built, trenches were dug, barbed wire was raised, and mines were laid. If the Japanese wanted to attack Lushun again, I believe they would pay a heavy price for it.

"Young Marshal, the first phase of the shipyard has been completed, and the workers are also recruited from the Mawei Shipyard and the Jiangnan Shipyard. Now, there are more than 3,000 people. We plan to start building our first class warships. Wei Han, the director of the shipyard, reported to Wu Haoxuan.

Wu Haoxuan nodded: "What about the submarine?" When can construction begin? ”

Wu Haoxuan is most concerned about submarines. After all, the gap between the Northern Navy and the Japanese Navy is too great, and if you want to turn the tide, underwater killers such as submarines are indispensable. If the Japanese had been able to inflict heavy losses at the beginning of the war, the Northern Navy might have a chance to win.

"Young Marshal, with the help of German engineers, we have completed the design of the first-class submarine, and the parts and components needed are also imported from Germany. Construction can start next month, and here are the design drawings. Wei Han hurriedly unfolded the design drawings of the first-stage submarine in front of Wu Haoxuan. (To be continued......)
