Time Smuggling Starting from the Year 2000

Huang Xuan did not wait in the hotel, he had many things to do, such as drawing pictures, such as robbing several well-dressed gentlemen to pay the room rate, such as wandering the market to find business opportunities.

The most important thing is to find a few more suitable buyers. In this regard, Huang Xuan does not have much experience to follow, but with Ford's smooth journey, more manufacturers are easier to convince.

Huang Xuan used a simple but effective way-advertising, and the advertising tool he used was very advanced in this era: the telegraph. The cost of the telegraph in the 1930s was expensive, but the effect was obvious. Because of its high cost and commercial characteristics, the company receiving the telegram would not throw it into the trash as easily as today ’s newspaper received it. On the other hand, telegram It also meets Huang Xuan's requirements, simple but interesting.

He simply wrote three sentences on the telegram: tomorrow at 9 o'clock, the new car design was sold at the Elis Hotel, and a company has already bid for it. Huang Xuan believes that his performance in the factory area should be able to attract the attention of many people, and anyone who wants to buy this design should be able to get this information: Ford is very interested in this design.

Is there any more gimmick than taking Ford to solicit business?

As for whether other companies are really willing to buy, this is not the point. As long as it can give Ford enough pressure, Huang Xuan believes that this V8, which is completely designed by Ford, will definitely make Ford unable to give up.

...

Henry Ford is a person who thinks highly of himself. In fact, he does stand taller than most Americans. But in terms of Ford's operations, he is not always right.

He likes to make judgments that are not influenced by others. In many cases, this judgment is based on intuition, not intelligence. The result is sometimes correct, sometimes it is wrong. Blindly expand production bases, reduce R & D expenses, and purchase stocks. All these are his wrong decisions, of course. This is from the standpoint of hindsight, but. Wrong is wrong.

Ford is a genius designer. He started from scratch and built a gasoline engine by himself, and designed a T-type car. At the same time, Ford is also a genius manager, he created the idea of ​​cheap cars. It was he who created the assembly line operation, and he created the working system 5 days a week. But his arrogance is also a headache. For the most part, Ford believes in his ability more than the team, so. In the development of new technologies, Ford has always lagged behind its competitors, it is no exaggeration to say. Ford is a super-productive, but technically ordinary factory, just a large factory.

From beginning to end, Ford is an efficient advocate. He has not produced new models for more than 20 consecutive years. What he does every day is to increase production. Until the T-type car is invaded by Chevrolet, it will wake up and close The factory carried out research and development, but this did not alert Ford. When GM took the throne of the first automobile company, Ford still focused on improving production efficiency.

Under the guidance of this kind of thinking, Henry Ford saw his son brought map paper, nodded imperceptibly, and asked, "How is the design of V8?"

"It's not very smooth." Ford V8 is also known as the flat-head V8. After its launch, it quickly became the darling of entry-level racers across the United States. In the 1930s and 1940s, the flat-headed V8 was respected by modified racers. At the same time, the Ford with the flat-headed V8 as its power also won the 1936 and 1938 Monte Carlo Rally Championships. As long as you see these materials, you can understand that such a classic model will inevitably have many innovations and difficulties in development.

Old Ford flicked the drawings on the table with his fingers and said with a deep face: "Will it be better than this design?"

"This ..., we can't be sure." Edsel said hesitantly: "The main problem is that this is just a drawing, not even the prototype, and no one knows whether it can meet the above-mentioned targets. "

"He didn't build a prototype?"

"It doesn't seem to be." Edsell recalled Huang Xuan's appearance, saying: "He seems to have only drawings and is anxious to ask for money."

Ford frowned and sat back in his chair, saying, "He wants 100,000 yuan?"

"Yes."

After waiting for a long time, Ford said: "If there are no problems with the drawings, just give him."

Henry Ford has nothing to say. Such a complicated drawing cannot be drawn without a prototype. That is to say, if there is no problem with the drawing, then there must be a prototype, and the other party does not. Then The source of the drawings is very problematic.

However, for Ford, these are not problems. If millions of dollars can be saved, even one-tenth, you can get rid of the problems caused by the source of the drawings, not to mention the government at the moment because of the economic crisis. Burnt out.

What's more, Ford never ignored the government, and Roosevelt changed his car angrily because of Ford.

At the other end of the city, Alfred Sloan, GM ’s new president also received a small advertisement for Huang Xuan, but he did not pay attention, just ordered a supervisor to go and see, just grabbed Ford ’s position He also wanted to know what Henry was thinking.

Elis Hotel.

Huang Xuan tilted his legs and waited in the suite's parlor. About five years ago, such a suite cost $ 30 a day, and the advent of the Great Depression forced the hotel to lower its charges several times. Now it costs only 4 yuan a day. Enough is enough. Of course, Huang Xuan is still waiting for Ford to send the money. He has decided that as long as Mr. Ford gets 100,000 US dollars, he will not let him take the money back.

If Ford does n’t take the money, he must commit a more violent crime. This is due to the situation. He has used millions of dollars of energy and brought millions of dollars worth of materials. If there is no profit, everything will be wasted.

Now it ’s different from starting a few trips. At that time, Lorraine had very little energy, and he did n’t have any protective measures. The use of violence is likely to outweigh the gains. In addition, lack of goals is also a big reason. Now it is different. He is in a burgeoning financial kingdom with a densely woven alloy headband, a plane base on his back, and no other traveller harassment ...

The designed Edsel did not yet know that the $ 100,000 in the suitcase had been "scheduled" by Huang Xuan. He also specifically asked Brown to bring 20 strong security guards to the Ellis Hotel with guns to meet.

As the waiter came to the door, Edsel smiled and shook hands with Huang Xuan and said: "The weather in Detroit is still adapted. It has been slightly colder in recent days."

"Okay." Huang Xuan did not talk much, let Edsel enter, and then introduced to him: "This is Mr. Edward, and I want to see my drawings."

"Of course." Edsel did not know this Edward, but the other party obviously knew him, and the two sides greeted each other friendlyly, converging their doubts in his cheeks.

Without too many polite sets, Huang Xuan asked: "Do you mind if I look at the cash you brought?"

Edsel's face was a little stiff. He didn't expect Huang Xuan to be so direct, but he nodded as he pleased, and he motioned Brown to show Huang Xuan.

Although Lorraine can easily check the suitcases of everyone present, Huang Xuan is still willing to show a gesture, which will make the following conversation easier.

In the suitcase is a neat Federal Reserve roll, which is the dollar of this era. There are two kinds of denominations of $ 100 and $ 1,000. The latter has not been issued since 1969 and should have 20 copies. The rest are neatly 100 yuan. Banknotes, a little feeling of withdrawing money from the Bank of China.

"OK. We can start talking." Huang Xuan happily pushed the suitcase to Brown and got up to open the bedroom door, which contained mountain-like drawings.

"Look slowly." Huang Xuan said as he sat down and drank tea from Sri Lanka.

GM's representative had an unpleasant forgotten, but Huang Xuan didn't even look at him. GM is just a backup option, he told Ford that I have other companies to sell. But as long as Edsel did not say no, he would not spend his mind on GM. To be more precise, Huang Xuan believed that time was more important than banknotes. After two more days, the extra money would be useless.

In the bedroom are the drawings drawn last night ~ www.readwn.com ~ Huang Xuan slept on the bed, and Lorraine used energy easily to complete the work. The people at Ford were quickly buried in these hundreds of drawings, and their work was much easier than drawing these drawings.

Huang Xuan was not in a hurry, dragging his tea cup to Edsel: "Mr. Ford, do you have anything to do in New York?"

"There are some."

"I want to buy a printing factory in New York. The equipment needs to be as advanced as possible. Do you have any ideas?" This is Huang Xuan's way of thinking all night. It's a bit mean, but it is easy to use.

Edsel looked at Huang Xuan strangely and said, "There are many closed factories now. If you want to buy it, it is a very simple matter."

"That's good." Huang Xuan smiled and said: "But I hope to save some time, maybe you know where there are such factories."

This is of course a question of funds, but Edsel still told Huang Xuan two names, just say: "As a friend, I think I should tell you that the investment environment in the United States is already somewhat, uh, the rate of return has become low . "

"I understand." Huang Xuan smiled and closed his eyes to refresh himself.
