Capítulo 24: Chapter 24
While chatting with friends in Puleshan, Edel was listening to the market survey of Dongfeng Trucks conducted by the marketing department. Originally, Edel could not care about this matter, but this is too important for the Crown Prince's follow-up plan, so Edel must understand the current situation of the audience of trucks in the European market. Whether it can be an instant success depends on this market survey.
"His Royal Highness, this is the survey report on major cities and ports in Europe." Francesco, the marketing manager of Volkswagen, handed the survey report to the crown prince. (Francesco is a subsidiary of Ford and has good car sales. So he was transferred to Volkswagen for market development.) Edel waved his hand, "You tell me directly, I won't watch it."
"Good lord." Francisco cleared his voice and began to report to Edel. "His Royal Highness, we are investigating major ports and big cities in Europe, and we randomly asked factory owners and terminal owners. I believe this investigation report is credible," the marketing manager continued after signaling to Edel. "According to our survey, 80% of the bosses and factory owners are interested in our trucks, and 30% of the respondents said that they can buy a few to try. Fifty% of the surveyed People said that they would buy only after seeing the effect. Half of them said that it would be best if they could be tried. After our investigation, the demand for trucks in the European market is around 50,000, and the long-term ten-year goal is to About 200,000 vehicles"
"At what market price did you investigate?"
"A survey of £185 (US$902) by a truck."
It seems that it is less than the price of two carriages, which is not expensive, Edel calculated in his heart. "Now based on this sales volume, can the factory be busy?" "We calculated on the basis of 5,000 trucks from the beginning, and with the additional investment of the crown prince, we can achieve 20,000 trucks based on the efficiency of the assembly line in the United States. The annual output will still be a little short of meeting European demand." Francisco answered the crown prince's question.
Let's look at the sales performance at that time, if the output is insufficient, it is to expand production, the crown prince is thinking of it. "Your Highness, I don't know if a new idea is feasible." The marketing manager said a new proposal. "Please tell me, as long as I can grow the company, I would love to listen." Edel said to the marketing manager standing in front of him.
"I think the company's trucks have been modified to compete with the passenger carriage for the passenger transport business." Francisco gave Edel a surprise offer. "This is a very good proposal, and I fully agree. Let the company design such a large-capacity passenger car." Edel was very surprised by Francisco's proposal. I didn't expect this American to have such a sharp insight, of course. Agree with a stroke of a pen.
Edel thinks that Volkswagen can occupy the European market, which will bring Romania's industrial development. History has also proved that the automobile industry can drive the development of all walks of life. This is also the reason why Edel chose automobile manufacturing as the basic industry in Romania. Now Edel is going to see another department that can vigorously develop.
"His Royal Highness welcomes you."
Eder arrived at the Bucharest Power Laboratory, and was greeted by the laboratory supervisor Moronier. Moroni previously did research on internal combustion engines at the University of Bucharest, but he was not well-known. When Edel asked the Chief Guard to find the domestic internal combustion engine, he was discovered by Carust and introduced to the crown prince. Molonier himself, like most scientists, focuses on research and is not good at talking. But if you talk about his profession, you are just talking about it.
Molonier is one of the few experts in Romania who specializes in internal combustion engines. Who made Edel almost forgot about the scientists who studied internal combustion engines in his previous life. Those who are still in his memory are all famous and it is impossible to come to Romania. Edel could only get high among the dwarves, and chose Moroniier, the most proficient laboratory director.
The Bucharest Power Laboratory was just completed this year, and it was established by the introduction of technology and talents from Germany. What can be done now is to study the various existing engines, whether it is a diesel engine or a gasoline engine. Edel came here today mainly for the diesel engine.
"Academician Moronier how is the machine now?" Edel asked the laboratory director. In order to win over this few Romanian scientists, the crown prince asked Moronier to be selected as an academician of the Romanian Academy of Sciences, and he left the rest of himself. That point also contributed to the knowledge of diesel engines. Today is a small diesel engine improved by Academician Moronier based on the crown prince's brilliant knowledge. Edel was also very interested in the improved diesel engine made by Academician Moroni, so he came to visit.
"His Royal Highness improved the diesel engine according to your proposal. The volume has been reduced by one-third and the power output has increased by 5 horsepower. Now it can reach 30 horsepower ~ www.mtlnovel.com~ I think it can be regarded as a first-class product." Academician Lonier answered questions from the crown prince.
A group of people came to the front of this first-class diesel engine. Looking at this huge diesel engine, Edel was silent. Academician Moroni is proud to talk about the data of this new diesel engine. "This new diesel engine is 1.5 meters long, 0.8 meters wide, and 1 meter high. It has a power output of 30 horsepower and can work for more than 200 hours without failure." After comparing the diesel engine with no modification next to it, Edel found that it was indeed much smaller.
"Academician Moronier thank you for your contribution to the kingdom. Can this diesel engine continue to be smaller without changing the power output, which will be able to play a greater role." Edel asked Morrow Academician Neal.
"This is still possible." The academician replied.
"Academician diesel engines now have two directions, large-scale and small-scale. I hope that academicians can do more research in this area." Edel told Academician Moroniier about the experience of later generations.
"His Royal Highness, I will do research in this area." Academician Moronier replied facing the crown prince.
It is self-evident what the diesel engine will mean to Edel who knows later generations. Edel intends to use this diesel engine to promote agriculture to mechanized farming, whether it is in national defense or to society, which has an indelible effect. It will promote the surplus population in rural areas to cities and drive farmers into cities to become workers.
This is the best way to not use power against domestic big landlords. The premise of all this is that only the outbreak of the First World War can the products of the factories flock to European countries. Only when the industrialists earn money can they hire more workers, pay higher wages, attract more people to the cities, and let the big landlords. Because we lack people to use mechanical farming, when everyone tastes the sweetness, Edel can do what he wants
