Building a car is not an easy task.
Even if the "BMW" technology is relatively low, considering the technical level at this time, it is not easy to scale production.
The developed car has only completed a part of the work, and wants to carry out large-scale production, there are more details to continue research, such as windshields, such as rear-view mirrors, such as headlights, which must be improved one by one, and all supporting facilities The facilities are fully equipped, and then it will be ready for large-scale production.
In the meeting room of Steed Lab, I heard Li Mu's introduction, Franklin was not difficult: "No problem, we will continue to research and develop more powerful and stable engines, and we will also study these supporting facilities. The problem now is , We need more funding, we need more manpower, and we need a larger laboratory— "
Franklin was careful.
Li Mu obtained a large area of land across the Charles River in the name of the expansion of the laboratory. From the first half of the year, these lands have been constructed. According to the planned plan, four laboratories will be moved into new laboratories and laboratories early next year. The name is no longer referred to as "research group", but has been upgraded to: Junma Communications Lab, Junma Electric Power Research Lab, Junma Power Lab, and Junma Materials Lab upgraded from the smokeless powder research team.
For Li Mu, the four laboratories are very important, so there is no ranking.
But for Franklin, the twists and turns inside were big.
Why did Runkel re-election as Massachusetts senator after stepping down as president of MIT? It's not because of the success of studying the light bulb, the honor that Runkel brought to him--
Compared to light bulbs, the value of a car is not small at all, so Franklin had no illusions.
"Oh, don't worry about the lab. You will have the best lab. At the same time, the laboratory staff can live in the apartment of the institute, and the rewards you deserve-I calculate, how much should it be?" Li Mu is generous, as long as there are results, then everything is easy to say.
There are still many people in the conference room, and everyone in the entire automotive research group is here. Today is a big day, and no one wants to miss it.
The land obtained by Li Mu is a bit large, so the supporting facilities are not rampant.
On the site named Li Science and Technology City by Li Mu, the first building was an apartment, which was prepared for the staff of Steed Lab. The six-story apartment is equipped with elevators for every family. , To more than two hundred levels of multi-level jump, everything to meet different levels of researchers.
As long as they are employees of Steed Lab, they can apply for occupancy. New employees can only apply for single apartments, but as long as the level is upgraded, the apartments will be upgraded accordingly. These apartments have no rent, provide 24-hour hot water, and special laundry. The rooms and restaurants can basically meet all the needs of researchers.
Hearing Li Mu's words, the staff in the laboratory was immediately delighted. Do n’t think that there is no need for renting in the 19th century. These researchers come from all over the country. Some people are still college students who have just graduated from MIT. And Boston, as the largest city in the United States at this time, is not cheap, so this is good news for everyone.
What Li Mu wants is to use these soft powers to tie these researchers and the institute firmly together.
Researchers are also human beings, and they definitely have various needs. Once the car is announced, it will definitely cause peeping by capitalists such as Rockefeller. The members of Li Mu ’s research institute are currently the only group of experienced researchers in the world, so Li Mu must do a good job now. Prevent, prevent staff from being stolen.
As soon as Li Mu's words fell, a voice sounded in the corner: "Sir, there are forty days before Christmas!"
Oh oh ten thousand dollars a day-
There was a sudden laughter in the conference room, and everyone was waiting for Li Mu to fulfill his promise.
"Who is talking?" Li Mu was angry.
"Oh, please forgive Rem--" Franklin shook his head and smiled bitterly, with a doting and pride on his face: "This is my son Franklin II. He is now a second-level researcher."
The second-level researcher's rank in the Steed Lab is already a backbone. If he is promoted to another level, he will become a first-level researcher and can independently apply for research projects. As for the special-level researcher, only Franklin, Antonio Meucci, And a few people like Runkel who has left office.
Americans don't say "raise one's morals and avoid relatives," and people will never think about it here. Similar to the situation of Franklin and Franklin II, people will only be proud and not embarrassed in the slightest.
So Li Mu didn't even ask if there was any private affairs in it: "So, your grandpa can get two rewards, uh, you should invite everyone for a meal later-"
"Yes!"
"Rim is right!"
"Is Mr. Franklin going to treat me? Am I wrong?"
There was another coquettish sound in the conference room immediately, and it seemed that Franklin's team was very good, at least the atmosphere was harmonious.
"Shut up, don't you usually ask for a few of you?" Franklin was also angry, but it didn't help, and was immediately drowned in a louder roar.
"Ha ha ha ha, yes, forty days, then it is 400,000 US dollars-cash in immediately." Li Mu was not stingy, took out his checkbook to cash on the spot.
Looking at the thin cheques on the table, everyone's eyes were hot.
Americans don't have anything like "gentlemen don't talk about profits." Since there is something to pay for, then there must be a return. The money you take is justified.
Franklin's team has less than 20 people, 400,000 dollars, and each can be divided into more than 20,000. For ordinary people, in 1873, this was an undisputed huge sum.
"Now the second task is announced, and the deadline is still within one year. The conditions are those I just said. As long as all projects are completed in advance, I will continue to provide rewards. The standard is the same as today, or $ 10,000 a day!" Promise again.
The conditions just raised by Li Mu include an improved engine, gearbox, explosion-proof glass, headlights, body lighting systems, rearview mirrors, wipers, etc. Compared to the engine, glass and headlights are minor issues. It is also these small problems that restrict the "BMW" from mass production. Only by solving these small problems can Li Mu sell BMW to an incredible high price.
As for the improved engine, the standard required by Li Mu is based on the existing basis, and the data in all aspects must be doubled. This is relatively simple. After all, there is already an original engine. Researching on the basis of the original engine is better than nothing. There is much easier.
The gearbox is the biggest problem. For a car, the value of the gearbox is undoubted. It can be said that a car without a gearbox is not a complete car. With a gearbox, the engine will change from a second-force youth Young artists.
In Li Mu's vision, "BMW" should be a high-end custom car, and "Benz", that is, a Volkswagen model. Compared to "BMW", which uses all technologies and uses top-grade materials, "Benz" is a castrated version. Costs will be reduced as much as possible to reduce the price of the vehicle itself and increase the scale of vehicle sales.
So it is certain that the price of "BMW" will be much higher than that of "Mercedes", but because "Mercedes" sells more, that series will generate more profits yet to be verified.
"Long live!"
"Mr. Rimm, you have to prepare the check!"
"We will be eight months ahead of time!"
Hearing the announcement of Li Mu ’s mission, applause and cheers rang out in the conference room immediately. The researchers who had just received the award burst into confidence, and they were confident to complete the task ahead of time.
"Very good, my check is ready, I'll wait for you to pick it up." Li Mu smiled secretly, and when you start researching, you will know how powerful it is, let alone the gearbox, just an explosion-proof glass is enough for you guys Tossing.
Automobiles have high requirements for explosion-proof glass. Once a collision occurs, if the explosion-proof glass is not installed, the broken glass fragments will cause secondary damage to the driver and passengers, so before the successful development of explosion-proof glass, Li Mu was not prepared to install explosion-proof glass. glass.
Of course, the value of explosion-proof glass for cars is also greatly enhanced. If a rich man buys a "BMW" car, it can only be driven on a sunny day, and he must hide in his home in the rain to pretend to die. depressed.
The rich, you should come out to pretend when it ’s rainy. Even if it ’s okay, you have to go out and sit around in a car that ca n’t get in the rain. Crowd, at this time the forced grid will emerge.
The car is the facade. Americans don't like "hiding the clumsiness". When there are good things, they need to come out frequently and let everyone know that this is in line with Americans' logic. Therefore, museums are everywhere in the United States.
During the enthusiastic interaction between Li Mu and the researchers, Rockefeller, who was able to attend the meeting, remained silent, looking at the generous Li Mu, and the active researchers, Rockefeller thoughtfully.
Prior to this, Rockefeller never thought about the issue of entrepreneurs' "social responsibility", pumping oil out of the ground, training out kerosene and sending it to the tables of millions of households. This is all Rockefeller's previous work.
Repeating the work 10,000 times is enough to make people disgusted, and the initial love will disappear in the tens of thousands of repetitions.
To be honest, although Rockefeller is the first in the United States-or the first billionaires, he is tired of this life. For Rockefeller, to his level, wealth has little meaning, and the value of life is Is the most worth pursuing.
value!
This is a big issue.
