My America

"The material must be saved as much as possible, the cost can be as low as possible, the production speed should be as fast as possible, the newspapers should be as hot as possible, in short, the car will quickly grab the market once it is available. Every United States Citizens all need to own a car, which is the standard of the American century. "Sheffield emphasized the importance of efficiency to the new car company manager Ramon Hess.

“It ’s not been a day or two since the United Company wanted to get involved in the automotive field. All the employees in the automotive department from you are working hard for this day. You must admit that you have overcome countless difficulties, but I myself But with all you can provide within the framework of your time, this is our common dream, and I hope that one day citizens of the United States will be able to fulfill their dreams in our cars. "

"Automobiles will be an important milestone in modern industry, a symbol of an industrial powerhouse. For Texas, we will have an important pillar industry, which can also give back to our hometowns. Everyone will grow because of the development of the automotive industry. And benefit. At present, not everyone can accept the car, but it does not matter. There are people who have stubborn opinions in any era. We do n’t need to pay attention to these murmurs. The era will eliminate them, not ours. "

From Sheffield's mouth, Rammon Hess understood the importance the United Company attached to the automobile industry, and he felt a heavy responsibility in his heart. Hesitantly said, "The boss is just a few German engineers and feels that there are still some improvements in the current car. . "

"German? It's not surprising." Sheffield wanted to ask what needs to be improved. It is not surprising to hear that the Germans are picking faults. These Germans have both stubbornness and arrogance. This group picks faults. It's normal.

Of course, some of the characteristics are quite good. Being responsible and punctual, these characteristics cannot be said to be wrong in any country. Although many countries cannot do this, they have found various excuses for this.

I wanted to ask what was the reason, so I heard Lamonges say, "It's a problem with the engine. It may be more fuel-efficient if it needs a period of improvement."

"If it's just this problem, it doesn't need to be changed." Sheffield gave the proposal to delay production directly after hearing it. Of course, fuel saving is a good thing, and a more mature engine is also a good thing.

But what is the situation? Sheffield does not have to make his car the same as the oil tiger of the later American cars, but this so-called shortcoming does not need to be improved. The reason is very simple. Who should sell the oil in the Texas oil field to such a fuel-efficient car?

Although the automobile is its own industry, isn't the Texas oil field its own? If you can make two money at the same time, who would say no? Sheffield can't do it anyway.

As the first automobile company established in the history of the United States, Sheffield United Company became the first person to eat crabs. The first company to produce cars was the headline of many newspapers, which caused the United States Citizen's heated discussion, after all, for new things, many people have extraordinary enthusiasm, like lively is not a specialty of a certain ethnic group.

There are naturally two voices in the media regarding the establishment of United Automobile Company. Of course, the newspapers of the other two giants still maintain the same appearance, attracting readers with the title party, and then carrying out spicy satire and sarcasm. taste. The major newspapers in Sheffield's hands cited internal information and made objective and professional reports.

And the first explosive news was published. The first company in the country that mainly produces cars has to produce 100,000 cars per month. This news has just appeared, and it immediately caused an uproar in the newspaper and media industry.

It should be known that the production of cars is now produced in small workshops. Relying on a few skilled workers, even a large car dealership, does not have a production capacity of one hundred a year. This is the era when Ford was founded. Now the situation facing Sheffield, there is no serious car dealership in the country, not to mention the car company.

The news of the monthly production of 100,000 cars is not so shocked, it is better to say that more people are watching jokes. Satire and teasing dominate the mainstream of many newspapers, which furthers Sheffield Motors' popularity.

"William, many people are waiting to see your jokes." Annie looked at Sheffield with some concern. She knew that the current public opinion environment was very unfriendly to the new car company.

"Then what do you think?" Sheffield looked at Annie's chin and said a little carelessly, "Do you think I will be seen as a joke? Don't know if it is ridiculed by various newspapers?"

"I naturally don't have it. I believe you no matter what you do." Anne is as honest as a kitten, with her full buttocks hiding on the man's thigh. She didn't make Sheffield feel pain, but felt very comfortable. .

This girl is fully mature! At such a serious moment, Sheffield always wants to think about something unscrupulous.

The use of the power of the media is a basic skill for Sheffield. Anyway, he knows the virtue of the media of the United States in this era. Except for his two giants, they are all shock ministers. They only need to provide them with an explosive news. The rest Things don't need to be noticed at all, these newspapers will bite like a dog smelling a bad smell.

In fact, this is the same as many entrepreneurs in the Internet era. This one is not interested in money, and it is cost-effective. It ’s just that if you take the initiative to set up a person, you may become a black history and be beaten, so Sheffield will not say a word to the media, even if the media is under his control.

At present, if the main purpose is to grab the market, then the price-performance ratio is the only weapon to grab the market. Although it is the beacon of capitalism, the workers in the United States in this era are not very rich. Sheffield set a price of two hundred dollars to produce Ford cars, and another model of Cadillac doubled its price to impact the high-end.

This point Sheffield avoids the embarrassment of Rebes and sets the price too low. When people want to be high-end, the public simply does not accept it, and subconsciously thinks that Rebes' mobile phones should only be cost-effective.

Therefore, Ford is still in the hands of Sheffield in the history of cutting corners. The cooling system still uses water cooling, but the volume of the water tank is reduced by one third, then the area of ​​the heat sink is reduced by half, and the material is also from brass It became cast iron. The fan in front of the heat sink was also eliminated. In addition, the water pump that accelerated the flow rate of the cooling water was also replaced, and it was changed to a siphon tube to let the cooling water rise against the hot water. The physical characteristics of the cold water falling naturally circulate in the cooling system.

Cadillac has all the requirements of German mechanical engineers, but it is not currently in production. It is more important to return the 100,000 cars per month.

Ramon Hess completed this job instead of his boss. When confronted with this question, he did not avoid it, but said with a frank attitude, "Starting from September 1, the prepared production line It will all enter full load and work hard for the goal of producing 100,000 cars per month. "

This speech by Ramón Hess was basically confirmed. Sheffield Motors really set a goal of producing 100,000 vehicles per month. The reporters on the scene were sensational and felt that they had encountered a big news.

After all, Ramón Hess is not as good as his boss after a hundred battles, but he still relies on the principle of monthly production of 100,000 vehicles and answers to the reporters who flock to it.

John Connor also returned from Cuba, and brought three hundred black gold employees to the car company's factory, temporarily responsible for safety work, in order to prevent some unlucky **** and delay his boss's plan.

"All industrial workers work twelve hours a day, two shifts a day, the production line is around the clock, and the mechanics who repair the production line are on standby! The goal of producing 100,000 vehicles per month must be accomplished!" John Connor faced the presence with a horn The workers shouted, "Achieving the goal in one point will return all the profits of the first month to all workers."

In the middle of the night on August 31, the entire United Company car factory covering four square miles was brightly lit, and 6,000 workers were on standby. As the clocks of the major factories entered the countdown, and with the arrival of zero, the major factories entered a boiling state. The conveyor belt was started, various car parts were pulled up, and the workers who had been trained for a period of time entered the working state. It took less than four hours from start to finish. The first car went off the production line, and it followed behind With the second and third ...

The dung digger who came to squat specially watched the car factories coming out one by one and was put on the open space outside, stunned! Can't believe what I saw.

Thousands of cars were assembled on the first day, and became objects that everyone could see. On the second day, the number of cars placed on the open space doubled. With the number of workers and the reorganized raw materials for accessories, everyone concerned about this matter, whether they are citizens or journalists, found that the monthly output is ten. Ten thousand vehicles is not an impossible task, it seems that it can be improved.

"Maybe we are witnessing an era with many people. Many rich people have their own unique nicknames. If this emerging industry will profoundly change our society. Then the actual controller of this company is only 20-year-old William Sheffield. It will be the undisputed car king. At this time, all newspapers, including the Los Angeles Times, are witnessing the birth of the car king. The car will soon enter thousands of households and think that we are the most dependent machinery. "

"At the critical moment, our own newspaper is trustworthy!" Sheffield laughed. Not only did he grab Ford's job, maybe he could make Detroit disappear.
