1855 United States Tycoon

The representative named Puyol sent by the Spanish governor to Cuba wanted to turn his face against those damn United States guys several times. Really, if the governor hadn’t kept telling him, talking about this deal is extremely important, even if Those United States guys earn a little more, and they have to buy those goods back as soon as possible. He really wants to turn his face with those United States guys. Because, because these vampires are too capable of asking for money.

At the beginning they insisted that the order of cars is very large, but now the engine output does not have any surplus, so they cannot sell separately, the engine is for themselves. But when he proposed that he could buy the engine at a higher price, the guys actually directly proposed a price that was outrageous and even a little higher than the price of the whole car.

"You are totally insincere! How could it be possible to buy a part, the price will be more expensive than buying a whole car? This is totally unreasonable." Puyol tried hard to suppress his dissatisfaction, leaning forward slightly, staring Lived the eyes of the United States guy on the opposite side.

"There is no way. You know, the factory's production capacity is actually saturated. Our engine factory is now running 24 hours a day. With this operation, we have just been able to meet the engine demand for the cars on the production order. , If you want to meet your additional demand for engines, we must artificially increase the speed of the entire production line, and this will make workers fatigue ascending, resulting in a decline in the yield of produced parts, which of course will Greatly increase our costs. In addition, higher production line operating speeds will also put pressure on the machines on the production line, resulting in substantial ascending maintenance costs. Or we can hire more workers and shorten the cost of workers Labor time guarantees the yield, but this will also increase the cost of hiring workers and management, and these increased costs must of course be reflected in the price of the product. In addition, we also need to be profitable, so it is the so-called wool out Of course, we can only offer such a price for the sheep. I don’t want to conceal it from you. The price is already given under the condition of maintaining a low level of profit.” Frank, who was sitting across the table, answered sincerely. Say, "You let us make some money in general, right?"

"So, what if I buy a car directly? Will the price be lower?" Puyol asked.

"Of course, if you buy a car, we will definitely sell it to you at the market's uniform price. It can be as much as you want, but..." Frank paused intentionally.

"It's just what?" Puyol asked, did he know, these United States guys, as long as there is something like "but" or "just", there will definitely be nothing good in the future.

"That's it, Mr. Puyol. We already have a lot of orders. If you buy right away, of course your order can only be placed behind the existing order in chronological order. So, if you pay today , We will probably be able to ship to you at the beginning of next year.” Frank replied easily, in his mouth, the beginning of next year seems to be the morning of tomorrow.

"Early next year? How can this work? No. It's too slow! Can't it be a little faster?" Of course Puyol is unacceptable at such a speed. Now, those smuggling ships are smuggling through smuggling to the Spanish empire. Cuba, which is extremely important, is changing from a Spanish colony to a de facto colony of United States. Rampant smuggling activities are like opening a big hole in Spain's major blood vessels. Spain must immediately block this hole. The sooner the better, for every day of delay, Spain will lose one more day. And if you consider that the number of these smuggling ships is increasing, then this kind of loss will be even greater day by day. Therefore, such a delivery speed is absolutely intolerable. Instead of this, it is better to sell the engine directly at a high price.

"There is no workaround." Frank said in a tone that I was thinking about you. "We have some buyers of luxury buses that have delayed the delivery time due to financing reasons. But we have produced about a hundred of these cars for them. Although this number is still close to the number you need, this is the fastest thing that can be provided to you. If you are interested, We can sell you this batch of cars first."

"Then you can't take down the engines from these cars and sell them to me?" Puyol asked.

"It's very difficult, Mr. Puyol. Because these passenger cars are called luxury versions because the engines of these cars and other parts of the car itself have the same and unique numbers. So if We sell the engines of these cars to you, then these cars can no longer be sold." Frank still smiled and explained gently.

"Shit!" Puyol yelled in his heart. He knew that this was exactly what this United States guy was arguing. To put it plainly, this damn United States guy saw that he needed these engines urgently, and they must know that they too. What is needed for these engines, so I took this opportunity to slaughter my own fat sheep.

"Of course we can produce new engines for these cars and give them the original numbers. However, our company is an ethical and ethical company, and we will not do such things to deceive our own conscience." Frank still It is a gentle smile.

However, this gentle smile made Puyol particularly angry. However, what made him even more angry was that he still couldn't vent his anger, and even put on a smiling face to continue talking with others.

"It's just that, Mr. Frank, as far as I know, the price of a luxury bus is even higher than buying the engine directly. I don't think this is a good way." Enduring the anger in his heart, Puyol said.

"That’s how it is said, but the frames, tires, seats, and gearboxes of these cars are all unnecessary for you. You can also remove the engine and remove these. Things are sold to those companies that purchase such things, so you can recover some of the costs. Together, it will not be more expensive than buying the engine directly. And according to our company’s rules, as the first batch of luxury buses Buyers, we will give a sum of money to buy gasoline as a gift to users. This batch of vehicles has a total of 10,000 US dollars in gift gas fees. Of course, this will not be included in the contract, but I can guarantee that we will The money goes directly to any account you specify. However, I suggest that it is the "McDonald Venture Capital" account, because it is one of our investors. Besides, because this is the engine of a luxury bus , They are also stronger than the average in performance. In this way, I think your shippers will be more receptive to such a price." Frank said.

"This guy actually wants to use money to bribe me and bribe me!" Puyol wanted to get angry, but he unexpectedly found that he was no longer angry at all, not only was he not angry anymore, even when he looked at Frank just now, he felt that He looks like a Devil, but in a blink of an eye, he feels that this one is still very cute, especially when he just said "ten thousand dollars". Puyol began to calculate: In order to ensure anti-smuggling on Cuba’s long coastline, Spain needs at least two hundred fast anti-smuggling boats. In order to ensure an overwhelming performance advantage, each anti-smuggling boat needs to be equipped with two engines, one hundred luxury high Performance engines are only enough for 50 ships, and considering that there are spares, at least three hundred engines need to be ordered in Spain in the end. 100 engines can already bring him $10,000 in income. How about 300 units? That picture is so beautiful... What are Spain's interests? what is that? Let it die!

"This is a good, win-win solution." Puyol said, "It's just a hundred units or less. I hope it's better to have more than 300 engines."

"This is really difficult. In any case, this will not be resolved until next year," Frank said sincerely.

"Well, these businesses, we will talk about them later." Puyol said. He actually guessed why Frank refused to sell too many gasoline engines for the time being. He knew most of Frank, no, he must have known what he was buying an engine for. In the beginning, my tricks of pretending to be a smuggling gang must have been seen through. The public certainly does not want those damn smugglers to be finished right away. For the public, the best situation is definitely a certain amount of equipment on the Spanish side. Speedboats, catch some smugglers. In this way, in order to continue smuggling to make money, these smugglers will definitely buy more engines. Also, like Spain, hang two or even three gasoline engines behind the tail of a ship. Then, in order to combat smuggling, Spain will naturally also upgrade its own speedboat, install it with three or even four gasoline engines, so the public can make more and more money.

"These United States guys are really mean and shameless! However, if the rebate of 100 dollars per engine is really formed, then the future business will be more than one hundred engines and ten thousand dollars. "Puyol thought this way, and couldn't help smiling satisfied.

...

In the large laboratory at the University of Cleveland, there is a ship-shaped laboratory. There is a huge pool there, specially used to test the performance of the modeling structure of various ships.

"We need a speedboat with low production cost but super fast speed and a load of about five tons." An engineer is telling the head of the laboratory, Dr. Drogba, "For this, we have designed some plans, hoping to be able to Get all kinds of relevant data from you as soon as possible."

Puyol is still too simple and kind. He actually thought that hanging a few more engines on the small sampan was the final result of this motorboat evolution competition, but he didn't know that the real final evolutionary result was brewing here. External engines are always limited, but better, smaller resistance boats can be continuously improved and updated.
