Anyone who knows Li Mu knows that Li Mu is a clear-cut lover.

If you like a person or a group, Li Mu will take care of everything. You want to be in front of everything, so thoughtful, so many people think that Li Mu always gives too much, which will cause people to get used to it.

I hate a person or a group. Li Mu always keeps it up. I hate it and hate it. Li Mu never pretends, so the tens of thousands of employees of Junma Group do not have a Japanese now.

As for the way Li Mu treats his enemies, it is the autumn wind that sweeps the fallen leaves. From the original Amis to the later Tweed, even in Cuba facing a country as large as Spain, Li Mu never softened and Amis died. The genocide, Tweed's imprisonment, and the Spaniard's disgrace in Cuba all show that Li Mu is the bottom line.

Edison is now Li Mu's enemy-not right, so it is inappropriate to describe it, at least now Edison has not become Li Mu's enemies-then as Li Mu's opponent, Henry can imagine what kind of retaliation Edison will incur.

"How is the progress of the gramophone?" Li Mu suddenly remembered a more important thing.

Gramophone, movie camera, electric light. These are the three great inventions of Edison. Now Li Mu has taken electric light as his own. Gramophone is Li Mu's next goal.

The principle of the gramophone has many similarities with the telephone. Edison invented the gramophone in the process of improving the phone.

After Antonio Meuchi completed the improvement of the phone, Li Mu's next project for Antonio Meuchi was a gramophone, while also taking into account the improvement of the telephone line.

From this point of view, Edison did have a reason to hate Li Mu, but considering that Edison had nothing to do with these inventions in his life, Edison should have nothing to hate Li Mu.

Of course, there must be from the angle of envy, hatred, and more.

"Very well, it is said that a prototype has appeared, and it may be available before Christmas this year." Henry is not very clear about the progress of the gramophone. This is also normal. As the general manager of the Steed Group, Henry is busy and cannot be all day long. Staring at the laboratory.

"Tell Antonio to speed up his progress, and if he can get listed before Christmas, I will give him a bonus." Li Mu promised a lot of money.

"No, no, no, do n’t do this again, because last year we issued a big bonus, so our car factory has not been profitable until now. God knows why our employees like cars so much, they almost ordered one. However, because it is an internal staff, the price can't be raised, so recently, Rowan put forward a suggestion that our production plant will set aside a production line for internal orders, and all other products will be used for export, in order to increase the revenue of the automobile factory. , So as to further expand the scale of production. "Henry was a bit frightened, and repeatedly expressed his opposition.

Regarding this "internal price", this is also part of the Steed Group's benefits. As long as Steed Group employees can purchase Steed Group products at a relatively low price, this was originally a benefit to workers from Li Mu, but it was not expected Used in this place.

This "internal price" can be described as a lot of benefits. Junma Group's product line is still relatively rich. Weapons, automobiles, and even subsidiary factories set up to provide supporting facilities to Junma Weapons Company. Those factories have now started to produce civilian goods, so In many ways, the Steed Group is involved, and there are quite a few benefits that can be provided to employees.

Where there is business, there are business opportunities. This internal price of Junma Group has also become a way for many people to make profits. This makes Henry very angry. Therefore, Junma Group stipulates that if someone uses this "spread" to profit from it, once it is monitored by the group The department found that, no matter who was involved, the Junma Group would kill a hundred.

"That's a good idea." Li Mu does not refer to the distribution of bonuses, but to the distribution of production lines.

Rowan is a white man with a full name, Rowan Bridges. He was originally a professional manager of the North Pacific Railroad Company. After the economic crisis began, the railway industry was severely damaged. The North Pacific Railroad Company also changed its equity. Also a son and a courtier, Rowan Bridges was not liked by the new boss and had to seek another career. So after the establishment of Junma Motors, Rowan Bridges was hired by Henry as Junma Motors. General manager.

Junma Automobile has just put into production. The factory is located in Brooklyn County. There is no supporting factory this year. It says that all parts required for the production of automobiles, from the engine to the rearview mirror, must be simmered bit by bit. Therefore, although there are many people in the factory, the production is poor, and it can produce twenty or thirty vehicles per month. This cannot meet the internal demand of the Junma Group, so it is unnecessary to mention the external sales to create profits.

"The assembly line production method you said last time, I conducted an experiment in the weapon factory, and it seemed to have no effect." Henry asked a question that was ridiculous.

"The effect of the assembly line in a weapon factory is not obvious, and it can be used to the fullest extent in an automobile factory." The assembly line is not omnipotent. Li Mu knows the advantages and disadvantages of the assembly line.

Assembly that can maximize the effect of the assembly line, such as the assembly of automobiles, has tens of thousands of all parts. It takes a long time to train a skilled worker, so it is impossible to mention production efficiency.

Using an assembly line is not the same. Each person on the assembly line is only responsible for one or two tasks. They can quickly become proficient and require little training. Therefore, it is the best way to expand production.

Weapons are much simpler than cars. For example, a python revolver. All parts add up to dozens. Assembly is not a problem. The precision of the parts is crucial.

The machining accuracy of parts is directly related to the performance of the weapon. To produce high-precision parts, in the era without digital machine tools, it is the craftsmanship of the master, which is why the master is more precious.

The parts processed by the master in the Steed Weapon Factory can be used as a sniper rifle, and the accuracy can be imagined. Although the errors made by ordinary apprentices are small, the errors of each part are a little bit , The performance is mediocre when assembled together, and can only be used as ordinary weapons.

"Speaking of the automobile factory, William found me last month and wanted to build a factory to produce auto parts and process large parts such as tires and seats." Henry said of a new situation.

Li Mu knew that William Vanderbilt wanted to get involved in the automotive industry, so Li Mu was not surprised by the news: "It doesn't matter if you want to produce a seat, but the business of tires can't be given to him. We have to do this business ourselves- How is William's car research progressing? "

After the popularization of automobiles, tires will be a big business. Li Mu doesn't want to let this business go hand in hand. The Junma Group must produce its own tires. As for other parts, as long as they do not involve patents, they can also be purchased from the Vanderbilt family's factories. It doesn't matter.

"William was ambitious. He also set up an automobile research institute in February. He bought a patent from us. He wanted to start with imitation and then make his own car. The Vanderbilt family's factory is under construction. William puts the factory in Long Island, it's obvious that we are going to hit the stage. "Henry was still a little bit frustrated when he remembered it, and he couldn't figure out why Li Mu had to foster a competitor.

Li Mu is really trying to foster a competitor, and, let alone say, from a development perspective.

Monopoly business is indeed very good, but monopoly business has been done for a long time, because the lack of competitors can also cause people to slacken their thoughts, which will lead to a series of other problems. Li Mu wants to make Junma Group worry about it. Awareness, so it is necessary to foster a competitor.

Of course, Li Mu's support to competitors is also principled. For example, the Vanderbilt family, if they want to produce cars, they must buy patents from Li Mu. Certain core components such as engines and gearboxes must also be purchased directly from Junma Motors. This objectively increased the production cost of the Vanderbilt family, so from a competitive perspective, the cars produced by the Vanderbilt family did not fundamentally threaten the horses of Junma Motors. Not the same, Edison Labs went directly to product patents. Once Edison Labs succeeded, Junma Electric Company also had to pay patent fees if it wanted to use these technologies, which threatened the core interests of Junma Electric Company. This kind of behavior, Li Mu must resolutely crack down.

"Don't worry, let him fight and tell Franklin that if the second-generation engine improves the performance by one percent over the first-generation engine, I will reward one thousand dollars, and if the performance is doubled, then I will reward One hundred thousand dollars. "Li Mu deeply explores the potential of the laboratory, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the problems that can be solved with money.

What the Junma Group has to do now is to maintain the leading position in technology. The patents of this year also have a protection period. In general, the protection period of utility patents is 14 years. In other words, within the 14 years of patent approval, anyone The use of Junma Automobile's patents has to be paid to Junma Automobile Company. When the patent expires, the protection effect will automatically be invalidated. At that time, those technologies will become open technologies, and anyone who wants to use them can do so.

What Junma Motor Company has to do is to develop new technologies as much as possible within these 14 years, to maintain its leading edge. In this way, until ten years later, Junma Motor Company's technology is still leading. Other companies in order to ensure product competitiveness , Then still have to buy related patents from Junma Motor Company.

This is called sustainable development.
