Chapter 1323 1324: The Price of the Car
Helen covered her mouth as she spoke, ran to the bathroom and vomited.
When Amani saw this scene, his face was solemn, and he patted Helen's back lightly.
"vomit……"
The sound of running water from the faucet sounded, and Helen finished rinsing her mouth, looking even more exhausted.
Amani asked: "Helen, are you pregnant?"
Helen shook her head repeatedly.
"Impossible. I have been married for so many years and have never been pregnant. It is absolutely impossible."
"I'm a mother of two, I can't be wrong!"
Amani pulled Helen up after speaking and walked out of the office.
"Where are you going?"
"Go to the hospital!"
Helen was both nervous and scared, letting Amani pull her away.
For a long time, Helen believed that she had reproductive dysfunction, otherwise she would not have been married for so many years and had no children. However, Parks' mistress was able to give him a child. I heard that she became pregnant again recently.
So she both expected and feared being disappointed that she might be pregnant.
………………
Raytheon Group headquarters building.
Aslan and Viscount Peart formally met and greeted each other friendly.
Viscount Peart couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Amuro, I heard that your company's car transmissions are very advanced. I'm here this time to purchase a large number of transmissions from your company. The premise is that your company's transmissions are really as good as the rumors."
Aslan raised an eyebrow.
I've heard Linda mention Viscount Peart a long time ago, but I didn't expect to talk about business so straightforwardly.
Don't be afraid to take the opportunity to increase the price yourself.
But then Aslan denied this idea.
The reason is very simple. If the price increase is too harsh, Viscount Peart doesn't have to buy it at all. He just needs to buy a few sample machines and go back to reverse research.
Although it is impossible to make a transmission as good as Aslan's design, as long as it can satisfy the driving of the car, it is enough.
This is the technological background of the Zanskart Empire, and it is also where Viscount Peart's confidence lies.
Aslan smiled and replied: "Your Excellency, Viscount, I believe you will be satisfied after seeing our company's car transmission, and I will give you the best price discount. Extended to the Zanskart Empire."
Compared with other empires that are still under the threat of war, the peaceful environment of the Zanskart Empire means a large and stable economic market.
It is said that the total population of the Zanskart Empire has exceeded three billion, and the huge market makes Aslan jealous.
Naturally, Viscount Peart would not agree to Aslan's request. He also wanted to monopolize the market of the Zanskart Empire, so naturally he would not give the Raytheon Group a chance to enter.
Viscount Peart laughed and said, "Well, let's go and see the transmission and your company's cars!"
General Motors, a subsidiary of the Raytheon Group.
As soon as he entered the company's exhibition hall, Viscount Peart was greeted by several round-headed cars in the exhibition hall. This was unexpected by Viscount Peart. For a while, he didn't expect Raytheon Group to produce a sample car so quickly.
"General Motors, is it common across the continent?" Viscount Peart joked with a smile.
Aslan couldn't help laughing, and agreed.
"This idea is very good, and I like it very much. I hope that Raytheon GM will be able to sell it on the whole continent one day."
Viscount Peart began to circle the car, listening to Aslan's introduction.
"This is the car light, which is convenient for driving at night. It is mainly used to illuminate the face. This is the steering wheel. This is the horn..."
Hearing Aslan's introduction, Viscount Peart's eyes were wide open. He didn't expect that there were so many things to pay attention to in the car.
"These are the trucks used to transport materials. The load requirements are different, but they all have one thing in common, that is, the requirements for roads are very high..."
After looking at cars, look at trucks.
For the time being, Raytheon General Motors only produces these two series of cars. Aslan is already copying vans and buses, and the styles are all modeled on cars from the 1950s and 1960s.
Cars in that era were mainly simple, with exquisite interior decoration at most, no air-conditioning radio, let alone intelligent control.
As for why this shape is chosen, the reason is simpler, the body structure is simple, there are not many spare parts, the production demand for the car is lower, and it is more convenient to produce.
Since cars have not yet appeared in the Central Plains, what Aslan has to do is very simple, that is, to fill in a large quantity and quickly occupy the entire Central Plains market at a low price.
To put it simply, it is to seize as many markets as possible.
"This is the most advanced Cybiti gearbox currently in service in our group. Its transmission system consists of a pair of pulleys engraved with magic circuits and four magic circuits. Each pulley is actually a V-shaped structure composed of two conical discs. The engine shaft is connected to the small pulley, and the energy generated by the magic circuit drives the big pulley..."
Aslan only gave a general introduction, but in fact the details were too detailed for Viscount Peart to understand.
In the end, Viscount Peart tried to drive the latest Regal in the huge venue inside Raytheon General Corporation. The feeling of holding the steering wheel, steering the car easily, stepping lightly on the sole of the foot, and accelerating the car crazily is better than Driving a horse-drawn carriage is a lot easier and a lot more fun.
"Cars and trucks, one for each, and what kind of Sebiti gearbox will produce one hundred for me first, no, five hundred."
Viscount Peart got off the car and said excitedly.
Aslan shook his head and said solemnly, "Your Excellency, there are at least twenty cars, otherwise I wouldn't sell them."
Viscount Peart was not too surprised, and after a while he pondered and asked: "Okay, I agree with your request, but in the future, I will give priority to Xibiti's gearbox."
Aslan smiled and agreed. Just when he was in the car, he introduced the price of each car. The price of an ordinary car is about 1,500 yuan, which will take two or three years for the middle class with better conditions. Affordable, its price is not much cheaper than a horse-drawn carriage, but the later maintenance cost is lower than that of a horse-drawn carriage.
First of all, there is no need for a coachman, which means that there is no need to pay the salary of the coachman. In the mainland, the coachman is also considered a skilled job, and the minimum annual salary is two hundred yuan. The second is the feeding and care of the horses, which can save money. A lot of fodder money.
Someone will definitely compare the cost of fodder with future gasoline. A horse needs to eat at least twenty catties of forage a day. The so-called forage is not only grass, but also concentrates made of various beans. A catty costs almost two pounds. Nuofen, forty cents a day, at least 12 cents a month, even if the carriage does not travel, the daily fodder is still indispensable.
