The Rise of Australia

Seeing Benz and Diesel again, Arthur found that they had not lost themselves because of their small wealth, and even loved their industry and scientific research work even more. New 𝗰𝗼𝗺

You know, both Diesel and Benz each hold 10% of the shares of their engine factory and automobile factory.

At present, the automobile factory is the most profitable enterprise of Arthur's royal family consortium. The current annual income is at least 15 million pounds, and it will increase with the expansion of the market.

Benz occupies 10% of the shares of the automobile factory. Although this is not much, he still earns more than one million pounds in income every year.

This is a millionaire from the early 20th century! Looking at the entire New Zealand region, the income is only 1.5 million pounds, which is almost the same as Benz's total pre-tax income.

Benz: What does it mean to be rich and invincible? This is a country with incredible wealth!

Although the wealth is only compared to a small country like New Zealand, it can definitely be called a country that is extremely wealthy. Benz is definitely one of the richest people in the world today.

Although Diesel's engine factory is not so exaggerated, it still brings Diesel an annual income of more than 100,000 pounds.

What's more, from a strategic point of view, Diesel's engine factory is a more important enterprise than Benz's automobile factory. It is definitely more effective in promoting Australia in all aspects than a small automobile factory.

Among other things, almost all large machinery needs to use engines. Don't warships, aircraft, cars, tanks, and even future self-propelled artillery and various civilian machinery all require various types of engines to drive?

Benz and Diesel were also very happy when they saw Arthur. The two made up their minds to come to Australia from Germany. In addition to being impressed by Arthur's high research funds, they wanted a more stable research environment to pursue their respective research interests.

Greater breakthroughs are also a very important part. new

Now it seems that both Benz and Diesel have achieved great success in their respective industries. Benz One has been successfully sold around the world and has become one of the most profitable companies in the world.

Diesel's engine research laboratory has also successfully developed various types of diesel engines and gasoline engines, making great contributions to the development of cars, trucks, and aircraft.

It can be said that the reason why the performance of Benz One can be so advanced is that, in addition to Benz's painstaking research, the engine from Diesel's research laboratory also played an irreplaceable role.

"Your Highness!" The two of them saluted Arthur.

"Long time no see, Mr. Benz, Mr. Diesel. You two are definitely the biggest contributors to Benz One's current sales performance. Have you received the check from the Royal Bank? This is the dividend from the car factory and the engine factory. , and it is also the best reward for you." Arthur said with a smile.

Arthur was never stingy with his heroes. What's more, these two people made Arthur earn 20 million pounds, so naturally they don't care about such a small reward.

"Received, thank you, Your Highness!" When talking about the check, the two people's faces showed a little excitement, and they said with a little gratitude.

Compared with their previous experience as entrepreneurs, they prefer working for Arthur as a scientific research expert and person in charge.

At least, they don't have to worry about business issues. They only need to devote themselves to scientific research and make huge profits.

Looking back, they were so distressed because their respective companies were unable to make ends meet, and they didn't even bother to do scientific research. Instead, they were saddled with debts. Fools know how to choose.

Checks given to both of them can be freely converted into pounds sterling or Australian dollars. Although the two spend most of their time in Australia, there is no problem even if they are sent Australian dollars.

But Arthur still chose to let them make their own decision. After all, this was a reward. It would be a bit disgraceful to force the exchange into Australian dollars. New 𝘹.𝘤𝘰𝘮

After talking about the sales and profits of Benz One, the topic returned to the topic, which is why Arthur came to the car factory.

"Mr. Benz, you said that the truck you mentioned last time has a trial product and has it been tested?" Arthur asked.

Trucks are not actually a high-tech thing. Compared with ordinary cars, they only reduce the number of passengers and add a cargo compartment behind the car.

Large trucks actually use a lot of things, and the finished product cannot be produced in a short time.

Regardless of the type of engine or the specific design of the truck, a more suitable idea needs to be arrived at after certain experiments.

But now that Benz has notified Arthur, it means that the design of the truck has been developed, and a test product that can withstand the experiment has even been produced.

"We have gone through several rounds of small-scale testing, Your Highness. This truck is currently parked in our warehouse. Please follow me." Benz explained with a smile.

Benz Automobile Factory has become one of the most profitable enterprises in the world. The main factory in Australia has also undergone multiple expansions. The warehouse of the automobile factory alone occupies a huge area.

Although it is an automobile factory in name, it also takes into account functions such as automobile research and development, design, testing, production, and maintenance. Each function has a relatively independent workshop and site. This also leads to the current Benz Automobile Factory being Australia's largest enterprise is not just about the area it covers, but also the number and size of its workers, and most importantly its earning power and value.

It is precisely because the automobile factory is too large that this time we went to the warehouse not on foot, but by car.

Of course, the Benz Automobile Factory will naturally not be short of cars. Whether it is cars equipped with armor and special glass prepared for the nobles and capitalists, or the Benz One normally sold on the market, they can be seen everywhere in the automobile factory.

Compared with normal Benz Ones, these cars with steel plates inside and special glass are called Benz Ones and are specially provided to major aristocrats and capitalists around the world.

Such a car can even resist long-range shots from pistols, and is also very resistant to close-range shots from pistols.

As long as it is not a close-range shot from a rifle, or an attack from a large-power weapon such as a heavy machine gun or a small artillery, the lives of the passengers in the car will basically not be in danger.

The current development of weapons is not too advanced, and weapons with high firepower cannot be hidden at all. This has also led to the fact that assassinations that occur currently and even in the future will basically use pistols and short guns, and their power will be greatly reduced.

If such a gun is fired at close range, although it will penetrate Benzone's armor, most of the damage will actually be offset.

As long as it doesn't hit the vital point by chance, it will only cause serious injuries at most.

In this era where guns are not banned, coupled with the fact that capitalists exploit the people very much, some assassinations are still very common.

Especially when politics is involved, assassination is inevitable. Even the former crown prince of the Russian Empire and the current Tsar Nicholas II also experienced an assassination in the island country that almost killed him?

It is precisely because these nobles and capitalists cherish their own lives and fear of possible assassination that this kind of specially customized cars are very popular.

Although the price of Benzone is much more expensive, with the average price even exceeding two hundred and fifty pounds, it still cannot stand up to the nobles and capitalists' love for life.

However, for Arthur, such vehicles are more of a gift to other nobles.

At present, Arthur has donated more than twenty cars to Europe, and the targets of the gifts are also major nobles in Europe, including the British royal family and the German royal family.

A few minutes later, several people arrived at the rear warehouse of Benz Automobile Factory.

This warehouse is connected to the automobile factory's laboratory and research room. It will only store the automobile factory's new design experiments, not the finished products.

In the current warehouse, there are ten large trucks parked neatly.

Of course, these ten trucks are not exactly the same. In terms of size, they can be divided into two types.

Arthur looked at Benz, who immediately understood and explained with a smile: "Your Highness, please see, these are the two experiments we finally produced after conducting many designs, experiments and improvements based on your opinions. product."

As he spoke, Benz walked to the smaller truck and said: "The smaller truck that your highness saw uses the same gasoline engine as the cars we produce. It has the advantages of low noise and smoke exhaust. Less, suitable for transportation within city limits.”

"But it also has obvious shortcomings. Because it uses a gasoline engine, the power is not very sufficient compared to a diesel engine. At present, the maximum cargo capacity of our minivan is about 0.8 tons, and the maximum driving speed is about The speed is 40 kilometers per hour, and the maximum driving distance is about 300 kilometers." Benz explained helplessly.

Both gasoline engines and diesel engines have their advantages, but they also have their disadvantages. Minivans use gasoline engines. On the premise of obtaining various advantages of gasoline engines, they naturally also inherit many shortcomings of gasoline engines.

However, the low-emission and quiet trucks are more suitable for transportation in cities. This will not affect the urban environment too much, and is also suitable for the large number of people in the city.

After all, in cities, no matter how spacious the roads are, they are not very suitable for large trucks.

"The large truck next to it uses a more powerful diesel engine and is equipped with a larger cargo box. The maximum cargo capacity of this large truck is 1.5 tons, and the maximum driving speed is 35,000 meters per hour, with a maximum driving distance of three hundred kilometers, which can basically meet your highness's expectations for a truck." Benz looked at the slightly larger truck beside him and introduced.
