Chapter 13: Let's Get Married
After hearing that Jack had set the price of the Cedric II at $750, the scene fell silent.
Whether it's Andy, Albert, or Quincy, all three of them want to talk and stop.
You know, $750 is the selling price, not the factory price!
In general, after the car is produced, it needs to be sold to the customer through the dealership.
Dealers can't help but make money!
According to industry rules, dealers generally have to reserve about $100 to $200 gross profit for dealers when they come to pick up the car from the car production company.
Albert said that the cost of producing a car is about $355, and the dealer picks up the car from the company about $550 to $650, so the profit of a car is only about $195 to $295.
Nowadays, Cedric's company is not large, there is only one vehicle assembly line, according to the assembly of one car every three hours, 24 hours a day, can only produce a maximum of eight cars.
In this way, under the current situation, even if the cars produced every day are excluded from historical sales, the profit in a day is only $1,560 to $2,360.
And the profit of 1,560 to 2,360 US dollars is still without going out of utilities, taxes and other expenses.
"Ford's Model T is only $850, compared to Ford's Model T, our Cedric II is almost unknown, and if the Cedric II is not priced lower than the Model T, who would want to buy our Cedric II."
"Our priority is to get our Cedric II out there, not to dwell on profits"
Jack saw what the others were thinking, so he patiently explained to them.
"I see!"
Quincy, who is in charge of sales at Jingwei, because he knows the market best, reacted immediately and nodded to show that he listened to Jack's opinion.
Immediately after, Andy and Albert also nodded one after another.
Jack looked at Quincy and instructed, "Next, Quincy, you immediately contact the car dealership, the company has run out of available funds, and it is urgent to put funds into the account." ”
"Okay, boss." Quincy nodded in response.
Immediately, Jack looked at Andy and Albert again, and said, "When our cars are sold and we make money, we will immediately start the second assembly line transformation and worker recruitment and training, and these two things will be handed over to the two of you." ”
"Okay."
"If our Cedric II sells well, I'll give everyone a pay raise!"
If you want a horse to run fast, you have to give it grass, and Jack naturally knows it.
Driven by money, there are few people who don't work hard.
……
In the evening, Jack, who was in a good mood, came home and planned to share the good news with Ruth, but he searched the house and found no one, and finally found a note she left in the bedroom.
"I was feeling a little unwell, and Mrs. Barry took me to the community clinic."
Looking at the contents of the note, Jack panicked.
"I'm not feeling well, what's wrong?"
Jack was guessing in his mind.
He remembered that when he went to the company in the morning, she was not in any abnormality, why did she suddenly get sick?
"Is it an emergency?"
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, and Jack couldn't hold back his worries about Ruth's body anymore and hurriedly ran to the community clinic.
"Don't let anything happen to you!"
Jack's neighborhood is not large, with more than 20 households, and the clinic is roughly in the middle of the community, so it only takes him 15 minutes to reach his destination.
"Smith Clinic."
After glancing up at the clinic sign, Jack pushed the door open and walked in.
Upon entering the clinic, Jack saw Ruth and Mrs. Barry walking out of the examination room, talking and laughing.
Seeing this, Jack's hanging heart finally let go, but he still walked forward quickly, came to Ruth's side, and asked with concern, "Ruth, how is your body?" No problem, right? ”
"I'm fine." Jack's concern for herself, Ruth naturally felt it, and she only felt a sweet feeling in her heart, but when she thought of the result that the doctor told her, she was suddenly very entangled.
"The doctor said I should be pregnant......"
"Pregnant?"
Since being with Ruth, the two have never taken safety measures, and he has always been mentally prepared for Ruth's pregnancy.
But after hearing the news that Ruth was pregnant, Jack still felt that his mind went blank.
At this time, he was pleasantly surprised, and he was about to become a father.
Strictly calculated, two lives as a human being, the first life died before he got married, and then traveled to this time and space, and the child in Ruth's belly was still his first child.
"I'm going to be a father......"
Eventually, all emotions turned into surprise, and Jack hugged Ruth tightly from behind, his wide palm stroking her rather fleshy belly through the clothes.
As a result, he touched the tights she had to wear to live or die.
Although Jack doesn't know much about the taboo of a woman after pregnancy, he still knows that he can't wear tights and the like.
Therefore, Jack immediately said in an unquestioning tone: "When you go back, change your tights, and you are not allowed to wear tights from now on." ”
"Okay."
Ruth responded, then lowered her head, and her mood suddenly became low.
"What's going on?" Jack was puzzled.
Just as Jack was about to ask what was wrong with Ruth, Mrs. Barry, who had been eating dog food next to her, said, "It's getting dark, let's go back first." ”
Hearing this, Jack let Ruth go, and thanked Mrs. Barry with hindsight, "Thank you for coming with Ruth, ma'am." ”
"No thanks." Mrs. Barry waved her hand and said with a smile, "We are all neighbors, and it is right to help each other." ”
"Thank you." Jack thanked him again.
Jack thought very clearly, although everyone is a neighbor, it is a duty to help you, and it is your duty not to help, since people take the initiative to help, then you have to keep this love in mind.
"Let's go back first."
Unlike when they came, in order to take care of Ruth, a pregnant woman, Jack and the others walked very slowly when they returned, walking for about half an hour before they returned home.
When he got home, Jack thought about passing by the Barrys, and Mrs. Barry called him aside to say something, and he took Ruth to the bedroom, and after changing the tights she was wearing for a loose skirt, he said to Ruth.
"Ruth, let's get married!"
"Okay!" Ruth nodded.
When she gave up on Carl and chose to be with Jack, she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Jack.
Although she is now a little dissatisfied and has been living together for more than a month, Jack has never mentioned marriage, but the matter has come to the point in front of her, she naturally won't dwell on anything, and directly nodded in agreement.
