Chapter XVII

In the blink of an eye, the time is May 16th.

On this day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and it was a good weather all day.

Since Jack and Ruth both had no parents in the United States, their marriage ceremony was omitted compared to other Americans.

Because Ruth was religious, in the morning, the two of them, who had already received their marriage certificates, went to the church together with Mrs. Barry, John Gerwitt and other people closest to her, and held a religious wedding under the auspices of the priest.

After the religious wedding, everyone drove back to the villa, which had been furnished for great joy.

Jack and his party had just parked their car at the villa, and before they could get out of the car, Shakespeare's "Wedding March" came out of the gramophone.

At this time, in the courtyard, a red carpet in the middle reaches the door of the villa hall, and on both sides, the invited guests are sitting on the white chairs placed on both sides.

When Ruth got out of the car, she saw Jack who had rushed back early and was waiting at the end of the red carpet.

Behind Jack is John Gerwitt, who acts as the best man, and unmarried young people from several communities.

"It's time to pass, Ruth." Mrs. Barry, who was behind Ruth, reminded softly.

"Okay." Ruth stepped onto the red carpet with the help of Mrs. Barry, who was temporarily representing the parents, and walked down the red carpet in the direction of Jack, behind her, the bridesmaids, led by Agnes Barry, bent down to unfurl her skirt.

Immediately afterward, a group of people carrying flower baskets and small wings hung on their backs gathered around Ruth, scattering flower petals vigorously.

After walking a short distance of more than ten meters, she came to Jack's side, and Mrs. Barry handed her hand to Jack's hand, and Ruth suddenly felt like a world away.

From meeting and falling in love on the Titanic, to the silence after the Titanic hit the iceberg, Jack gave her the chance to survive, and then to ......

……

After getting married, because Ruth was in the first three months of pregnancy, they gave up the idea of going out for their honeymoon because they would have an accident after going out.

So, after Jack was at home with Ruth for a few days, he came back to Cedric's company with the intention of officially starting work.

"Good morning, John."

Upon entering the office, Jack looked at John Gerwitt, who was temporarily working as his secretary, and said, "Help me bring Andy and Albert over." ”

"Okay." John Gervais's head should be.

Although Jack and Andy are close to each other, John Gerwitt has always put himself in the right position after accepting Jack's invitation to join Cedric's company.

Jack smiled as he looked at John Gerwitt's back as he left, then picked up a copy of Cedric II.'s latest sales figures on his desk and looked at it.

I have to say that the low-price strategy is really very useful.

According to Jack's statistics, the Cedric II has sold nearly 700 units since May 29, earning the company almost $130,000 in profits.

And this data is still caused by the lack of factory capacity and the temporary inability to meet market demand.

"Capacity!"

Jack fell into deep thought.

"Treading ......"

A sound of footsteps came from outside the door, waking up Jack, who looked at the door, and soon Andy and Albert walked in one after another.

"John, you come in too." Jack saw John preparing to leave, and the birth beckoned.

As for John Gerwitt, he managed to convince him to join Cedric's company to work for him, and he naturally didn't really use him as a secretary.

"Okay, boss."

When Jack greeted John Gerwitt, Andy and Albert looked at each other and quickly turned away, neither of them could see what they were thinking.

After Andy and the others sat down, he, who has always disliked nonsense, immediately put down the sales data in his hand, and then said: "I called you over this time, mainly for two things to tell you. ”

Hearing this, whether it was Andy, Albert, or John Gerwitt, all three of them sat upright and listened carefully.

Jack nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "First of all, the sales volume of Cedric II is increasing, and the production capacity of the company's production line in the past three days has gradually failed to keep up with the market sales speed. ”

Speaking of this, Jack paused for a moment, looked at Andy, and asked, "Have you ever thought about how to solve this problem?" ”

"Boss, I've thought about it." Seeing Jack ask himself, Andy replied, "During this time, we have renovated four assembly lines, and the four assembly lines have almost taken up almost the usable space of the factory. ”

"So my idea was to buy our almost 13-acre piece of wasteland and ......."

After listening to Andy's thoughts, Jack found that they all had similar ideas, and immediately nodded in agreement: "Contact the city government, check whether the wasteland is owned by the government or privately, and then buy it to expand the factory." ”

"Okay, boss."

Thinking of what he was going to say next, Jack changed his casualness and said solemnly: "What I have to say next is about the future of our Cedric company. ”

"I thought that as our Cedric II expanded in the market, our situation would definitely be discovered by Ford at that time. If Ford finds out that our Cedric II is cheaper than their Model T, then with their character, there is a high probability that they will fight a price war with us."

Speaking of this, Jack's heart became heavy, and he said: "Once the price war starts, everyone doesn't want to make much money, but with the size of Ford, when we all go bankrupt, Ford is afraid that it will still be alive and well." ”

"During this time, I have been thinking about how we can make our Cedric company survive the pressure of Ford and get bigger and bigger."

John Gerwitt, who sat at the back, duly asked, "What do we do?" ”

"If we want the company to grow and survive for a long time, we have to always pay attention to the needs of our customers!" ”

"Whether it's Ford's Model T, or our Cedric II, or other companies' cars today, there's an obvious flaw, I wonder if you've noticed?"

Jack looked at the three people present.

"Didn't find ......"

Jack hadn't thought they would find the flaw he knew, so when he saw that all three of them shook their heads in shame and didn't know, he said, "Think about it, what is it like to drive on a rainy day?" ”

"Wet in the rain!"

As Jack picks up the problem, Andy and the others are all brightly eyed and excited.

Because, solving this problem means countless dollars!
