The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

Little Rockefeller rubbed his hands together and said with a grin, "This is another purpose that my father sent me over!"

"Oh, what did he say?".

Andrews put on a deferential posture, and he was indeed inferior to Rockefeller in terms of business operations, which he himself knew.

So listen to what Rockefeller has to say, as long as it can improve his earnings, then Andrews will not object.

"Father said that to make differentiated products, cars like the Beetle should be positioned as high-end products, and then produce some low-spec, slightly worse performance, and cheaper cars to sell to civilians.

The sales of such low-cost cars will increase significantly, and the car ownership rate of the private sector will also increase.

Whether it is a high-end car or a low-end car, it is necessary to burn oil anyway, and the more low-end cars there are, the greater the demand for oil, so that our family-owned ExxonMobil Oil Company can also get a piece of the pie. "

After listening to Rockefeller Jr.'s words, Andrews couldn't help but complain.

Rockefeller's abacus is really good, although Andrews can make a lot of money by doing this, but Rockefeller can make more, after all, he not only sells cars, but also oil.

Car companies make money, but oil sellers seem to be even more profitable.

Don't you see, which of the oil-producing countries in the Middle East in later generations is not rich enough to flow oil?

Thinking of this, Andrews also had the idea of entering the oil industry and establishing an oil company.

Moreover, he also knows that there is a place in the world where there is a lot of oil, and if he extracts oil there, he will not be able to sell it for a lifetime!

"Well, your father's idea is good, I can agree to cooperate with you, but I have one condition!".

Little Rockefeller was overjoyed to see Andrews agreeing so easily, and at this time, he would not refuse Andrews's conditions as long as they were not particularly excessive.

After all, you can't find a second business partner like this in the world!

"The technical content of low-end cars is relatively low, and if they are produced, capable manufacturers will definitely imitate them, and then other cars will soon appear in the market to compete with us. "

Rockefeller Jr. nodded, the more low-tech things are, the easier it is to be copied.

And high-tech things, because there is a high threshold, so it is very difficult to copy, and ordinary people can't get it.

"My request is very simple, if you find a similar manufacturer who starts to imitate our products, no matter what method you use, you must bring it down and not give them a chance to rise, can you agree?"

Little Rockefeller nodded heavily, patted his chest and reassured

"Your Highness, don't worry, even if you don't explain this kind of thing, we will pay attention to it, and we will definitely not let others threaten our interests!"

The car market is so big, if other manufacturers are involved, it is bound to take a piece of the cake, which means that the Rockefeller family eats one less piece of the cake.

They will certainly not tolerate such an infringement of their interests.

The Rockefeller family is the richest man in Eagle Sauce, and the family is very powerful in North America, unless other top forces come down, it is not too simple to bring down a few car factories.

And the reason why Andrews made this request was on the one hand to ensure his own interests.

On the other hand, it is to delay the spread and diffusion of automobile production technology.

Automobiles are not only of great use in the civilian field, but also have a value in the military field.

In the First World War, the German army once attacked the Maas River defense line in Gaul on the Western Front, and as a result, the Gauls used automobiles to continuously transport soldiers and war materials to the front line, and stubbornly withstood the German attack.

If they didn't have a car at that time, I'm afraid the consequences would be unimaginable.

Moreover, the technology of production of automobiles is still the basic condition for tanks and armored vehicles, and tanks cannot be made without mature automobile production technology and professional skilled workers.

Therefore, trying to delay the speed of automobile research and development in other countries, and slow down or even prevent their development in this industry, is not only a huge economic benefit, but also a great military benefit.

After the two sides negotiated the corresponding conditions, the two sides re-signed a new contract.

Andrews, for his part, selected a Ford T-series car from 1920 from the system, which belonged to the early model of the car, not only with relatively simple styling, but also with mediocre equipment and functions in all aspects.

The price in the system mall is close to scrap, and the price of each car is only 200 points of system funds, which is equivalent to 100 US dollars.

Little Rockefeller was very satisfied with it after trying it out.

This car perfectly meets their requirements, not only has the basic functions of the car, but also has a huge gap with the Beetle in all aspects.

Let them be confident that the price of the Beetle car will be higher!

"What price are you going to set for this kind of low-profile car, if you sell it?"

Because the cost is very low, Andrews feels that this kind of car can't afford to lose

Even if you only sell for $200, you can make a 100% profit!

Anyway, this kind of car is to take the route of small profits and quick turnover, if it really sets a price close to the people, it will definitely cause the people to scramble, and then there will be no need to worry about sales.

"Although the configuration of this car is a little lower, the functions that the car should have are all there, so the price should be about 500 dollars!"

Rockefeller Jr. estimated in his mind that the average annual salary of the people of Eagle Sauce was about $700.

Even women earn a slightly lower salary than men, including the husband and wife, who earn $1,300 a year.

After deducting various expenses, they can spend about $400-700 a year.

So setting a price of $500 is almost an affordable price for ordinary families to grit their teeth and save a little.

Little Rockefeller didn't know how much this thing cost here in Andrews, and he estimated in his mind that the cost of this thing was two or three hundred dollars, right?

Therefore, the price of 500 US dollars should be the limit, and if it is lower, I am afraid that His Royal Highness Andrews will not be able to make money here.

Although from the standpoint of the Rockefeller family, they hope that the price will be as low as possible, so that the sales of cars will be higher, the demand for oil will be greater, and then they will be able to make a lot of money by selling oil!

But doing business is a mutually beneficial and win-win thing, if the other party can't make money, the business will definitely not be done, so you have to think about it for your partners.

"Then five hundred, how much do you want for this car?".

Andrews is quite happy with the price as it means he has a high profit of 400%.

Compared to the Beetle, the example rate of this Model T is actually a lot higher.

This was completely unexpected!
