700,000 vehicles a year, even if each vehicle is only calculated at a profit of $400, it can be 280 million dollars a year. After a simple calculation in his head, Elaline himself was taken aback.

"Two hundred and eighty million..."

At the current exchange rate, 280 million US dollars is equivalent to more than 730 million silver dollars, which is more than 300 million silver dollars more than the fiscal revenue of the Qing government in 1911, and almost 100 million more than Japan—————— in 1911, that is, in the 44th year of the Meiji era, Japan's fiscal revenue was more than 650 million yen.

280 million, such a figure does sound exaggerated, but considering that China's labor costs are twenty or thirty times lower than that of the United States, and the huge production capacity brought by the assembly line, these seem to be logical.

And that's just 10 assembly lines, and if five more lines can be added to bring the plant's annual production capacity to one million vehicles, the profit will reach at least $400 million.

Then, it seems impossible to mention. Because the demand for cars in the world is so large, one million seems to be enough to saturate the American and European markets. As for the domestic market, I am afraid that this cannot be relied on for the time being.

Of course, whether it's $280 million or $400 million, it's just a theoretical figure.

Considering the annual taxes that the junta has to pay (although it is only a left-handed right-handed exchange, but the scene still needs to be done), as well as the high tariffs that need to be paid to various countries, I am afraid that a lot of profits will be shaved away.

Still, Elaline was pleasantly surprised. It's just that at this time, she didn't know that this kind of high profit was only temporary, and it couldn't last for a few years at all.

After collecting his mood, Elaline looked at Li Yin.

"It's really good. Also, can you take me to see the trucks and tractors now..."

Yan Shao attaches great importance to these two things, especially the latter, so this time Eleno came to the tractor that he paid the most attention to in addition to raindrops and assembly lines.

Of course, she didn't know that the reason why Yan Shao attached importance to this thing was completely for a thing derived from it.

Although Eleno and Yan Shao are not married yet, in Li Yin's opinion, this woman who has always been by Yan Shao's side is the same as Katarina. It's all their own hostess.

Naturally, you can't be lazy with your boss, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around as long as the wind blows on your pillow, so I heard that Elano was going to see the truck and the tractor. Li Yin hurriedly led the way in front.

After a while, Elano and Ran Jinyu saw two trucks and a tractor in a stationary state in another room.

Looking at these two products, Li Yin's face also showed a hint of pride. "Although, like cars, we developed both later than abroad. However, because of the large amount of research funds allocated by the governor every year. In addition, we also communicate with some foreign researchers every year. Therefore, the trucks and tractors researched by our research institute have been like raindrops and flowing land, and they are not inferior to similar foreign products..."

This is indeed the truth, although Yan Shao is very tight on the issue of funds (in order to avoid being cheated), but for those projects that should be given, Yan Shao only gives more, not less.

This also allows the institute to purchase a lot of newly researched techniques from abroad while conducting its own research. It is precisely these reasons that combine to make the products such as trucks and tractors researched by the institute completely inferior to the top products of the same period.

————————————————————

After staying in the building for a while, Elaline and the others walked outside. Take a look at trucks, tractors, and other cars in action. Because Elaline was in a hurry to return to Anqing, he took the report of the institute with him after watching. and Ran Jinyu and others returned to Anqing by boat.

When Elino returned to Anqing, it was Yan Shao who had just finished five kilometers.

Wiping the stinky sweat on his forehead with a towel, Yan Shao was about to go to the bathroom to rinse off, but now that Elano had returned, it was obviously impossible for Yan Shao to do so.

"How is the Wuhu tour?"

After wiping the sweat off his face, Yan Shao threw the towel aside and sat on the sofa, patting his side with his hand and motioning for Elano to sit down with him.

"Very good..."Sitting aside according to Yan Shao's meaning, Elaline handed over the report. If the optimization of the assembly line and the car can really achieve the effect that Li Yin said, maybe it won't be long before you can surpass Rockefeller and become the richest man in the world..."

Although Elaline herself doesn't care about this, she is very happy that her man can have another proud achievement.

"The richest man in the world?" Needless to say, Yan Shao also knows the weight of the name of Lu Dao, but...

After flipping through the report, Yan Shao closed it. "In the short term, I'm afraid it's unlikely."

"How so?" Elaline is a little strange, after all, no matter how you look at it, the current development momentum of the group is very good. Of course, as an enterprise, Yushi Group does need to pay high taxes, but in addition to the tariffs of various countries, the taxes handed over to the military government are at most the left hand for the right hand, after all, the military government is their family...

Shaking his head, Yan Shao explained. "The first is the output, the pile output is actually very simple, is to expand production, such as assembling a few more assembly lines, or recruiting more workers, but we also need to consider the market demand for products, if the production capacity exceeds the needs of the market, the more we build, the more products will be backlogged..."

Although the Raindrop car is already the most expensive car in the world today, selling for $750, there is no other semicolon. But for the average wage earner, $750 is still not a small amount.

Moreover, it is important to know that even the T-shaped car has only sold 15 million units in history, and it took almost 20 years. That is, from 1908 to 1927, an average of 750,000 vehicles per year for almost 20 years.

At the same time, after entering the 20s. The price of the Model T has also dropped again and again, and finally dropped to more than $200, which is completely profitable in the pure sense. It was only 15 million units sold at this level. It is conceivable that 700,000 may already be a limit, if you really want to increase production, without backlog of products, Yan Shao can only reduce the price of the car to the same standard as Ford.

"In addition to this problem, there is also a very critical point is the assembly line..."Ilano stopped Ileno in his arms with his right hand, and Yan Shao continued with his back against the sofa. You should be well aware. In the past, the automobile manufacturing industry has always stayed at the stage of handicraft workshops, and it takes a lot of time to knock and knock. The cost is also high, and most importantly, it requires a lot of skilled automotive workers. ”

"The reason why our auto factory can reach the equivalent of 4 or 50 percent of the annual output of the United States with hundreds or thousands of workers who are illiterate and have never touched a car is entirely because of the assembly line."

"The assembly line allows us to use workers who have never been in contact with a car before. You can assemble cars faster than other car companies. And the cost is much lower than other car companies, and the question is, are we the only ones who can use this technology..."

Hearing this, Elaline, who was originally leaning on Yan Shao's arms, suddenly sat up straight, and her beautiful eyes widened. "You mean?"

"yes," smiled slightly wryly. If we are the only ones in this world who can use this kind of technique, then it is not impossible for me to become the richest man in the world, but the question is who said that only we can use this kind of technique. ”

"And you've been with Katerina a lot, and you should be well aware of the recent time around the car factory in Wuhu. There are a lot of sneaky guys on the spot, guess where they come from? ”

Leaned back into Yan Shao's arms. Elaline closed her eyes and groaned.

Countries such as Japan and the United States have been shocking the production capacity of car factories since the beginning of the commissioning of automobile assembly lines. And sent a lot of people to sneak into the car factory to see what was going on.

But for Yushi Group, the assembly line is absolutely the highest secret of the group, and the level of confidentiality is also the highest in the group. Therefore, not only is all the information about the assembly line locked in the group's vault, but even the automobile factory is guarded by special affairs personnel 24 hours a day.

It is precisely because of the presence of special affairs personnel that the automobile factory has not become a tourist attraction for foreign 'tourists'.

In fact, in order to reduce the burden of the task, the Special Affairs Section even took the initiative to clean up a group of 'tourists'. Of course, it was not an extraordinary means, after all, the identities of these people when they entered China were very normal, and if these people died suddenly in China, it would be a trouble for both the Yushi Group and Yan Shao.

So they just hired some ruffians in the local area, and even simply pretended to be ruffians to harass this group of 'tourists'.

Basically, after intimidating several times, most of the 'tourists' chose to return home, and at the same time, the young mind also left the impression that the Chinese were not hospitable.

As for the few who are more persistent, the special affairs department is always not good at really causing death, so they just put some laxatives into their meals—————— since they don't want to leave, then let them never leave their beloved toilet.

It is precisely because of the efforts of the Special Affairs Section that the secrets of the assembly line have not been exposed until now. Of course, those people did not want to buy off some employees, the problem is that almost all the foreign 'tourists' operating in Wuhu are under the supervision of the special affairs department, even if they are allowed to contact or buy employees in several automobile factories, those employees do not know a single word, and they are only responsible for their own positions, so they are not clear at all.

Although the work of the Special Affairs Section has been successful for now, Yan Shao is not so naïve as to think that he can really keep secrets all the time. And in history, Ford is the inventor of the assembly line, and the Model T can have 15 million sales because of this, Yan Shao will not think that because of his arrival, Ford will not know how to invent the assembly line.

Yan Shao has a hunch that there may not be much time left for this kind of pleasure now, and what he will have to face in the future will be a fierce competition with Ford. However, Yan Shao is very confident in whether he can win, because the labor cost on Yan Shao's side is much lower than that on the American side.

Even if Yan Shao raises workers' wages to 1 yuan, that is, five times as much as in the past, it is still only one-fifth of that in the United States, not to mention that after the assembly line comes out, Ford is likely to raise workers' wages to 5 dollars a day as it has historically. At that time, even if Yan Shao really raised the wages of workers to 1 yuan, it would only be 1/13 of Ford's, and if it was not raised, it would only be 1/65.

"If it's really like you say, car factories in other countries also use assembly lines. Then our profitability will probably decline to a large extent. After all, he was already the deputy general manager of the group, and although he was leaning on Yan Shao's arms, Elaline quickly shifted his mind to business.

However, hearing her words, Yan Shao pinched her face with his hand and comforted her. "Rest assured, at least we'll have some more time, and even if we get competitive, we're not going to be less profitable than the Mexican fields, and probably even stay at $100 million. And after the price of the car is reduced. The number of people buying will also increase, and we can take advantage of this opportunity to increase the production capacity of cars..."

The most important thing is that Yan Shao has registered a patent for the assembly line, so no matter how you look at it, Yan Shao has a great advantage.

Removed Yan Shao's hand from his face. Elaline picked up the report. "So, about the assembly line?"

"Assemble ten first, and all of them will be used to produce new raindrop cars. As for the original five assembly lines, they will be retrofitted as soon as the new assembly lines are put into operation. Three of them were then used to produce Ryulan. One for trucks, one for tractors..."

After speaking, Yan Shao looked at Elaine. "By the way, how much does it cost to produce Liulan?"

"For mass production, the cost will be about 600 US dollars, according to Li Yin, this is already the limit, and it is impossible to reduce it anymore..."

"Then set the price at $2,000 and form a high and low grade with the raindrops..."

Raindrops are known in Europe as civilian cars. This is an apt description, because most of the people who buy such cars in Europe are civilians. And those who claim to have status. would rather pay more for a $2, $3,000, or even $3, $4,000 handmade car—————— even though it does perform better than a raindrop.

However, compared to these cars, Liulan is better than those handmade cars for $2, $3,000 or $3 or $4,000 in terms of styling and comfort. It just happens to occupy the high-end car market that raindrops could not reach, and the most important thing is that this market is very profitable.

It's as if Liulan's cost is only $600, but Yan Shao has positioned it at $2,000, making an extra $1,400. And Yan Shao believes that even so, there will still be many people abroad who will buy it...

"$2,000," Elaline nodded, indicating that he had taken it to heart. However, 3 production lines will be a little less, after all, the complexity of this kind of car is much higher than the raindrops. I'm afraid that the 3 assembly lines will be a little bit in terms of capacity..."

"You don't have to worry about this..."Letting go of the arm that was hugging Elaline, Yan Shao stood up from his seat, then took out two cups and some ice cubes from the refrigerator, after pouring the ice cubes into the cups, Yan Shao poured in a lot of juice, and then brought the two cups of juice back to the sofa together, and handed one of them to Elano. There aren't many people willing to buy this kind of car, and three is enough..."

As he spoke, the cup in his hand touched Elano lightly, and neither of them liked to drink, which can be said to be the first thing the two had in common. Even now, eight years later, this common denominator has not changed.

Seeing Elinor holding the cup, slightly opening his lips, and drinking in small sips, Yan Shao suddenly felt that his blood was a little swollen, and the juice with ice cubes in his hand could not suppress the impulse from his body, or he had never thought of suppressing it.

Slowly placing the cup on the table in front of the sofa, Yan Shao's hands caressed Elaine's waist, and then slowly extended along the gap in his coat until his palms covered the plump pair.

Feeling the temperature from the pair of strange hands on his chest, Eleno couldn't help but glance at him, but he didn't stop him, but after putting the cup aside, he stretched out his hands and gently unbuttoned the collar...

A button reveals a deep snow-white ravine, and at the same time, people can't help but wonder what is hidden inside.

With two buttons, most of the plump snow peak that was originally bound was suddenly exposed, and the black lace underwear was also exposed, and at the same time, the third button that was supported by himself was already crumbling.

The third clasp...

Before Elaline could untie it by himself, Yan Shao had already torn off his coat with all his might, revealing the full picture of the black lace underwear inside and a large area of snow-white skin...

After tearing the black underwear as well, within a few minutes, there was a hot gasp and a thin, lustful moaning sound from the room.

After more than half an hour, Caterina returned home after a busy day, and saw the two of them tumbling on the floor in the room as a mess.

After that, there was no need to say any more, after complaining a few words about Elaine's stealing, Caterina took off her coat, moved her slender legs, and participated in the battle group as usual, and after a period of 5 kilometers, Yan Shao's physical fitness seemed to have returned to the state of its peak, and he directly reached out and dragged Caterina into his arms.

Listening to the reverie-inducing moans and soft screams coming from the room, the maids who had become accustomed to it just covered their ears and retreated from the courtyard step by step, leaving the courtyard to Yan Shao and them to continue playing... (To be continued......)
