Red Alert 1895

"The Americans are also here to have a leg? Huh, these guys seem to really care about eating and not beating! They actually secretly support the Xingzhong Society and train agents for the Xingzhong Society? Very good, this time Are the Americans really going against me?"

Ever since Wang Guorui learned from Hu Hanmin that the Americans were going to make Wang Guorui sick, of course Wang Guorui couldn't just sit idly by. Because this American was making trouble for Wang Guorui behind his back, he was obviously putting eye drops on Wang Guorui on purpose. Can Wang Guorui just sit back and ignore it? And if this Xingzhong Association has the support of the Americans, then it will definitely make them even more powerful. Originally, Xingzhong would accept the support of the Japanese, but that was only within a controllable range. Because the Japanese are not strong, and with the existence of the super traitor Akashi Genjiro, naturally they are not afraid of them turning the world upside down. However, with the support of this American, it would be equivalent to giving Xingzhong Association another channel, and the threat to Wang Guorui would definitely be much greater.

Wang Guorui thought for a while, and then took the initiative to make a call to Tiema Motor Company.

Soon, Iron Horse Automobile Company announced that due to the increase in product costs and labor costs, it plans to increase the price of the car by 30%. Many people around the world were immediately taken aback by this news, because this iron horse car company is currently the most mature car company in the world, and it is also the car brand under Wang Guorui. However, this car has not been fully self-produced at present, and a considerable part of it is produced through the red alarm system. Because the current manual production technology is not good enough, if all production is manual, the reliability is not very good, and it is easy to stop halfway. So of course Wang Guorui can't use these broken cars to fool consumers. However, he also uses this car to make huge profits, which is also one of the important sources of Wang Guorui's income. Because the huge profits of cars can be known from later generations.

Although other countries can also produce cars, their problems are similar to those of Wang Guorui. The reliability is very poor, and the engine is often turned off several times per 100 kilometers. It is not as good as the car produced by the red alarm system. So at the current stage, the cars produced in the red alarm system are practical, so that they can get enough export income. At present, it is the prime time for Wang Guorui's car, and Wang Guorui adopts the model of small profits but quick turnover. This quickly allowed the car to roll out quickly.

Wang Guorui currently adopts the method of small profits but quick turnover, and the profit margin is not high. Of course, this is only based on the calculation method of foreigners, because the price is almost 5% more than the cost. If you count all kinds of other things, maybe you are making money at a loss and cultivating the market. But no one knew that Wang Guorui was actually produced in the Red Police base. The actual production cost of the Red Police base was only 20% of the cost of raw materials, which was not high. So it seems that Wang Guorui is making money and shouting at a loss. But especially Wang Guorui has been able to get at least 50% of the profit.

However, the news reached the United States by wireless telegram, and immediately attracted the attention of one person.

"Father, the Iron Horse Automobile Company under the Emperor of China has increased the price by 30%, and according to our current forecast, the automobile market will shrink by more than 50% in the future, which is very unfavorable to us!" Rockefeller said his son.

The old Rockefeller looked at the telegram, then fell into deep thought, and finally said: "This is the emperor of China who is beating us!"

"Father, have I had any conflicts with him recently? How can he warn and beat us? You know, we have reached a cooperation before. They sell cars at low prices, and then cultivate the oil use market, so that we can make our wealth The greater the increase, the more we can increase our oil wealth, and then we will have greater influence. But if he wants to increase the market price by 30%, then our oil industry will also be affected!" Little Rockefeller asked road.

This Rockefeller had previously reached an agreement with Wang Guorui. Wang Guorui sold the car at "cost price" and allowed the car to be used for a long time. Make Rockefeller's oil market more extensive, and then use more and larger scales. We must know that before the invention of internal combustion engines such as automobiles, the use of oil was very narrow, and it was nothing more than oil lamps or some common fuels. The scope of use is very narrow. However, oil lamps are increasingly withdrawn from the market. The invention of electric lamps has almost eliminated any market for oil lamps.

And Wang Guorui made this car, which means that the consumption of oil will increase sharply in the future. Of course, Rockefeller, the oil magnate, attaches great importance to it. Although Rockefeller is currently one of the richest people in the world, no matter how rich he is, he must abide by the most basic economic laws. Even those consortiums in the United States in later generations. They all seem to have a lot of power, but no matter how powerful they are, they are no more than the most common principle, the law of economics. If someone needs their products, they can have a market and a steady stream of wealth. Their power is based on the people's need for their products, and they have enough economic strength to influence the government. If the people don't need it, I'm afraid they won't be able to continue to have power.

And the oil industry is mostly like this. If the people don't need to talk about oil, he, the oil king, is nothing, and his oil will suddenly become a junk stock. This is one of the reasons why it is difficult to develop various new energy sources in later generations. Those old energy consortiums and those oil exporting countries are not willing to withdraw traditional energy from the market so quickly to protect their own vested interests.

But at present, Rockefeller naturally hopes to develop automobiles, and then seek more benefits, so that his oil will be more valuable. Only when the demand for oil increases, can the corresponding value be increased. This is the reason why things are rare and expensive. This is true of everything, and basic economic principles cannot be changed by policies. Housing prices in some big cities are high. In fact, this is also due to the large population, and a large number of people influx every year. However, the housing prices in those second- and third-tier cities are relatively much lower, but they cannot be sold.

Demand determines value, so Rockefeller naturally hopes that more people in the world need oil, so that he can get more value. But now Wang Guorui has actually increased the price of cars, which means that the threshold for using cars has been raised very high. You must know that the wealth in this world is also in the form of a pyramid, and most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a small number of people. This has been a theorem since ancient times. The higher the level, the higher the relative wealth ratio of people.

In other words, although Wang Guorui only increased the price of cars by 30%, it means that instead of only reducing the market by 30%, it would increase the market by 50% or more. All shrunk. Once this happened, of course Rockefeller was not satisfied.

"Father, why did he do this?" asked Rockefeller Jr.

The old Rockefeller replied: "The Chinese emperor was just assassinated recently. He probably knew that the US government supported that opposition organization behind the scenes, so of course he was dissatisfied with us. He knew that if we want our power in the United States, he must have known about it." The U.S. government is behind this matter, but he complained that we didn't stop it. It's fine if we didn't stop it, but we didn't notify him. This is the real reason for his dissatisfaction with me. So he intentionally increased it by 30% It is hoped that our future development potential will be hit. Once fewer people use cars, it means that our future development potential will shrink.”

"But father, why do they associate politics with our business?" asked Rockefeller Jr.

Rockefeller Jr. was obviously dissatisfied, because Wang Guorui linked politics and business together, so he obviously thought that the Rockefeller family had suffered an unwarranted disaster this time. This kind of thing is completely deceiving them on purpose. In the West, politics and business are so separate that if there is a connection it is never so obvious. But this Wang Guorui confuses business and politics so vigorously. If you suffer politically, then you will get revenge on you in business. Anyway, he is rich and has the lifeblood of Rockefeller~www.readwn.com~He is not afraid.

"Well, since people have told me, I can't be indifferent. I'll go lobby those bureaucrats so that they don't continue to support the ZTE." Old Rockefeller said.

However, Rockefeller Jr. immediately asked: "Then let's just forget about it? If their car technology is always in their hands, wouldn't we be very insecure?"

"That's right, we must develop our own car as soon as possible. Only by breaking China's car technology can we not be blackmailed by his technology. Therefore, immediately set up a car research and development department, and even if we spend money, we must The car is smashed out. There is an old Chinese saying that all eggs cannot be put in the same basket. The Chinese may not be completely reliable, we still have to rely on ourselves. I do my own research, so as not to be blackmailed by the Chinese. said the old Rockefeller.

Where did the old Rockefeller go to the phone, and then dialed a number, and then reached some so-called political exchange of interests with the other party, so that they can reach some conditions acceptable to both parties, and then they can do After some transactions, the old Rockefeller can also conduct profit transactions with Wang Guorui again.
