Chapter 2727 Difficult Transformation
"That's right, once the war is over, the good times of our auto factory will be over!"
"We used to build military vehicles, but now we are forced to remodel them for civilian use. The number of roads is wrong. How many ordinary people can afford big cars? It's just nonsense!"
The workers on the train were still complaining endlessly. Hearing this, Joan couldn't help but feel his heart move. He cast a spell and asked Roland, "Your Majesty, are the gentlemen sitting diagonally across from us producing 'Pemping Horse' magic cars?" work in the factory?"
"That's right, the 'Benma' brand magic off-road vehicle is a newly launched civilian model of the first state-owned magic vehicle factory in the Far East." Roland looked over in surprise, "Dr. Vader, you are also interested in magic vehicles interest?"
"I have seen the advertisement of Benma Motors on the TV. Based on my experience in the field of construction, the car is a good car. The price of 10,000 gold thalers can be called a military car. It's worth the money, but unfortunately it's still too expensive, and ordinary families obviously can't afford such a luxury." Qiao An said honestly.
"You've come to the point, Dr. Vader. The automobile factory is like a microcosm, reflecting the severe difficulties our country's economy is currently facing." Roland put away his smile.
"Is the economic development in the Far East not good?" Joan asked in surprise, "Let's not talk about the prosperity of Fort Kouras. I have also been to the rural areas in the Far East. They are all developing well, much better than the New World. gone."
"If you compare our Far East with the New World, you won't be happy if you win the comparison. You can't be so worthless!"
Roland glared at Joan angrily, and his expression returned to seriousness.
"Dr. Vader, don't be fooled by the prosperous appearance of Fort Colas. In fact, the economic model of the Far East is undergoing a painful transformation period. If we cannot complete the transformation as soon as possible and smoothly, a sweeping wave will ensue. A national economic crisis."
"Is it really that serious?"
Qiao An looked around, except for the few complaining car factory workers, everything seemed very energetic, and he couldn't feel the atmosphere of the impending crisis at all. Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor is overly nervous?
"Your Majesty, what aspects of economic transformation do you mean specifically?"
"To put it simply, it is to shift from a wartime economic system that gives priority to military industry to serving the civilian market in an all-round way."
Roland picked up the paper cup, took a sip of black tea, and said to Joan, "Dr. Vader, our country has been established for less than eight years. During this period, wars broke out frequently. In order to deal with powerful enemies, we had to use our limited All resources are concentrated to manufacture weapons and munitions, and other sectors of the national economy must make way for the military industry."
"Since the armistice agreement was signed with the Holy Ashean Empire at the end of 1625, the people of the Far East have finally ushered in peace, and our government has also ended the wartime economic system of tight material rationing, and has turned to improving the quality of life of the people."
"The problem is that the transition from war to peace has come too fast, and many domestic departments and enterprises are still operating according to inertia, feeling at a loss for the sudden change."
"Take the magic automobile industry as an example. There are three major state-owned automobile factories in our country. They were originally military enterprises. They produce about 20,000 automobiles every year."
"Before 1626, the orders of the three major automobile factories all came from the military. Now our army has initially completed the mechanization transformation, and there is no need for large-scale military expansion and preparations for war in peacetime. Of course, the demand for military vehicles will be greatly reduced. Last year, the three major automobile factories took Compared with the wartime, the military industry orders received have been cut in half."
"Dr. Vader, think about it, a big factory that originally produced 10,000 magic cars a year, but now it only gets orders for 5,000 units, will life be easier?"
"It's really hard." Qiao An felt a little more sympathy for the workers working in the automobile factory. "The order has been cut in half, and the work is underemployed. No wonder the workers are worried about losing their jobs."
"Precisely in order to avoid unemployment, the cabinet of our country re-enacted the industrial policy, guided the major automobile factories to shift from military industry to civilian use, and designed and launched a series of civilian vehicles. Among them, industrial vehicles such as trucks and excavators benefited from the nationwide The large-scale infrastructure construction has been carried out, and the sales volume is not bad. As for the civilian private cars represented by the 'Benma' brand off-road vehicles...at present, the sales in China are not very satisfactory."
Roland smiled self-deprecatingly.
"In the final analysis, it is because our country is still too immature and lacks foundation. In the short eight years since the founding of the country, we have experienced many rapid and rapid changes. Under the leadership of the national will, we forcibly transformed a remote and backward agricultural country into a In industrial countries, after the tide recedes, the disadvantages of eagerness for quick success are revealed."
"The Far East has a land area of more than 6 million square miles, a population of less than 10 million, and a limited consumer market. Moreover, for people who are used to riding horses and carriages, how do you persuade them to give up the horses that their ancestors rode for generations and drive cars instead? "
"Even if you can turn the corner ideologically, the economic conditions will not allow it."
"The rise of the Far East seems to be rapid, but in fact it's just empty space. The development of the national economy is very uneven. The income level of most people is still relatively low. Among the 10 million citizens, there are not even 10,000 people who can afford a car. With this poor market demand, what can we do to save the car factory?"
"Your Majesty, according to what you said, rich people should spend more. Is extravagance and waste a good deed that benefits the country and the people?" Qiao An asked back.
"Haha! It's okay for you to say that!" Roland laughed.
"Then you come out and set an example, buy a few more cars and drive them for fun."
"I already bought it. Mira and I both have cars, and even Vasilisa has one, but even if I buy 100 cars, I won't be able to change the general environment. Instead, I will end up being branded extravagant and wasteful and caught by tabloid reporters. Spray the handle to death, I will not do such a thankless stupid thing!"
His Majesty the Emperor folded his hands on his chest and snorted resentfully.
"Dr. Vinda, the transformation dilemma similar to automobile factories is common in various industries in the industrial field of our country. The domestic market demand is insufficient, so we can only look for business opportunities abroad."
"exit?"
"That's right, the Benma brand cars are actually mainly sold abroad. The aristocrats and nouveau riche who pursue fashion in various countries are our target customers. Now we are counting on them to help the workers in the car factory!"
"Your Majesty, the export of luxury cars alone cannot solve the nationwide industrial overcapacity. To put it bluntly, how many tons of steel are used for a hundred cars? There are so many steel companies in the Far East and thousands of steel workers. For the big households that need relief, you may have to think of other ways."
Joan hesitated to speak.
