I was a tycoon in World War I: Starting to save France
Chapter 36 Salary and Dignity
More than an hour later, a prototype of a three-wheeler was placed in front of the three people.
Although Guillaume was slightly tired after being busy for more than an hour, he was still in high spirits and his eyes were shining. He walked around in three circles, stopping from time to time to look at this and touch that. A beautiful piece of art.
"I think this idea is feasible, Master Charles!" Guillaume said excitedly: "It may play a great role in the military, and they will be willing to buy it!"
"How can you be sure?" Djoka asked.
"I served in the military, Mr. Djorka!" Guillaume, who was bending down to observe the welding joints of the chassis, straightened up, lifted up his work clothes, and showed an obvious scar on his lower right abdomen in front of the two of them: "This is a German The bayonet left behind, I participated in the Franco-German war, I know what the war requires!”
At this point, a flash of anger flashed in Guillaume's eyes.
The soldiers who participated in the Franco-German War were also heroes. They fought bravely against the enemy on the battlefield.
However, just because the defeat of this war left France with shame, everyone put the blame and anger on them and made them the sinners!
This is not fair!
Charles understood this: "You can put down your burden, Uncle Guillaume! We will not lose this battle, they will redefine the war you fight, and you!"
Guillaume looked at Charles sharply as if he had been pricked by a needle, and asked dubiously: "Will...will it? Will they..."
"Maybe they won't, but we will!" Charles's words were a little difficult to understand, and Guillaume didn't understand them.
Charles explained in a slightly childish voice: "If the battle is lost, the capitalists will deliberately draw their anger on you to divert the attention of the people. But if the battle is won, they will not be stingy in praising you. At the same time, take the credit for yourself, so that the common people don’t care how much money they plunder!”
Guillaume was extremely shocked, especially the first half of the sentence, "The capitalists will deliberately draw their anger to you."
Guillaume has never considered this issue. He always thought that it was just the common people's misunderstanding of veterans.
At this time, Charles reminded me that at that time, newspapers of all sizes were indeed criticizing the corruption and incompetence of the military, but they never mentioned that these corruptions and incompetence were caused by the capitalists!
"Damn capitalist!" Guillaume squeezed out a sentence through his teeth.
Guillaume gritted his teeth with hatred. He recalled the humiliation, abuse and accusations he had received over the past decades, and felt sad for a moment. This even made him afraid to leave the factory and interact with others.
"In my opinion!" Charles continued: "Of course you are heroes. You have dedicated everything to France. You should be respected. It's just that some people don't understand. If we win this war, you will still be in this war." If you play an important role in the war, their attitude towards you will change!"
Guillaume nodded heavily.
You are right, if France washes away its previous shame, the army will be accepted by the people again, and the soldiers will be recognized by the people again. Of course, those who have fought for France and have contributed to it are no exception!
"So!" Guillaume looked up at Charles: "We must work hard to help France win!"
"That's how it should be!" Ciel agreed.
Djoka, who watched all this silently, secretly praised him. Charles knew how to give respect and recognition to others and bring them to the same front.
If they can survive, some people would rather get these than higher wages, because dignity cannot be bought with money. This will make the production of motorcycle factories more stable and reliable!
Charles raised his head towards the tricycle and asked, "Aren't you going to give it a try, Uncle Guillaume?"
"Me, me?" Guillaume hesitated.
Shouldn't the first person to test ride it be the person who invented it? Guillaume did not expect that Charles would give up this honor to him!
"I can't ride!" Charles explained with a smile.
With gratitude in his eyes, Guillaume got on the bicycle and stepped on the ignition lever hard. After two clicks, the bicycle started. Under his driving, the bicycle slowly drove into the test track. It was not fast at first, but Guillaume carefully He drove it around a few turns, gradually accelerated, and soon began to fly, accompanied by Guillaume's cheers!
"Master Charles!" Guillaume shouted: "You really should try it, it is much more stable than a motorcycle!"
This is not true. A three-wheeled motorcycle is actually more difficult to control than a two-wheeled motorcycle. Guillaume would say this because he made it with his own hands.
"What's it called?" Djoka asked.
"Biansanquan!" Ciel replied.
"A very appropriate name!" Djoka said.
The side is the side and there are three wheels, so it is called "side three wheels".
Djoka looked at the sidecar that was pulling smoke, and asked worriedly: "There is a question, Charles! Aren't you worried that it has the same problem as the tank?"
What Djoka was saying was that industrial property rights would be imitated and suppressed by French capitalists.
"No, at least there is no need to worry for now!" Ciel replied.
"Why?" Djorka looked at Charles in confusion.
In terms of industrial property rights, what is the difference between a tricycle and a tank?
"There is only one motorcycle factory in France at the moment, father!" Charles replied.
France originally had three motorcycle factories, namely Harley motorcycles produced under license from the United States, and Douglas and Victory motorcycles produced under license from the United Kingdom.
The first two fell into the hands of the German army during the German attack... Most of the industrial areas in France are located in the north, which is rich in mineral resources and suitable for industrial production.
Charles bought the only remaining "Victory" motorcycle factory.
Deyoka raised his eyebrows:
"You mean, if they want to copy or bypass our industrial property rights, they must first have a motorcycle factory!"
"Yes!" Charles nodded: "They need to build a production line and have skilled workers. The most important thing is that their motorcycles must be as good as the "Victory" brand!"
"Victory" can withstand the test of the battlefield, of course, only Charles knows this.
The most suitable equipment for the battlefield does not have to be advanced, but it must be "reliable and easy to maintain". That is the battlefield. Once a malfunction occurs and it is difficult to repair it on the road, it will cause the lives of soldiers or signalmen to lose their lives.
"Victory" has these advantages, which capitalists cannot copy even if they want to, unless they directly copy "Victory", and they will face lawsuits from British companies.
In short, Charles's innovation this time is to tie British companies together to form a chain of interests, which will make French capitalists dare not act rashly.
Deyoka sighed: "Foresight, Charles, you wouldn't have thought of this a long time ago!"
Charles's young face showed a rare maturity: "I have to do this, father, otherwise we will go bankrupt!"
Deyoka was a little ashamed. He hated his incompetence for the first time, otherwise Charles would not have to worry so much.
"This has nothing to do with you, father!" Charles seemed to see through Deyoka's thoughts. He explained: "I chose to stand on the opposite side of those capitalists. Otherwise, we can make money that we can't spend in our lifetime just by selling industrial industries to them!"
Deyoka nodded. Charles was telling the truth.
Soon Deyoka became worried again. This shows that Charles wants not only money, but also... power? Break their monopoly?
Deyoka looked at Charles, with shock and worry in his eyes. This is the core interest of capitalists. They will do whatever it takes to deal with Charles!
