Chapter 211 Chapter 211
"Dingling! Dingling!" One of the four phones placed in front of Tang Mo suddenly rang with a crisp ringtone.

Tang Mo grabbed the phone receiver in front of him and stuck it to his ear: "It's me, what's the matter?"

"In the assembly workshop of Factory No. 2, the things you designed have already been manufactured." Matthews' excited voice came from the phone: "It's so great! I never thought that I would be able to make it one day Such a great thing!"

"I'll be there right away!" Tang Mo hung up the phone directly.

Then, he grabbed another phone in front of him and ordered, "Get ready, go to Factory No. 2."

Soon, Tang Mo, who arrived at Factory No. 2, saw what he had been thinking about day and night—a car!
This is the world's first car, but because Tang Mo directly took out the design drawings, it directly uses a more mature design, which is no longer comparable to the kind of cars in the early days.

As soon as he came to Tang Mo, he established a complete automobile production line, which was the famous Ford automobile production line.

The car Tang Mo wanted to take out was also the world's first generation civilian car T.This kind of car is completely designed for ordinary people, and it is simple in design, high in quality and low in price.

In Tang Mo's original world, Ford had achieved great success relying on this successful design. They had produced 1500 million such cars in one go. One can imagine the "superiority" of this kind of car.

In fact, it is indeed superior, because the design of this kind of car is mature and the failure rate is low. It can be said that it is the perfect design of early cars.

Of course, it's not all good, because its design is actually very different from modern cars, and it can even be said that driving this kind of car actually requires special training.

First of all, if you want to start this kind of car, you need to use the rocker on the front of the car to shake it desperately. This design is actually common in early cars, so it cannot be said to be a unique design of T-type cars.

If you are not careful with this kind of rocker, you may even injure yourself because the engine turns early, so be very careful when starting the car.

In addition, the clutch of the Model T car is a three-speed star clutch, with only two forward gears and one reverse gear, and these three gears are controlled by three pedals respectively!
In other words, this car actually has 4 pedals!And these four pedals are not accelerator control pedals!

The accelerator of this car is next to the steering wheel and is controlled by hand!So the control of this kind of car is completely different from today's car handling.

What's more interesting is that this kind of car can only seat two people. It is a standard small car. Its load and speed are actually very ordinary.

The car has a nearly 3-liter four-cylinder engine that can deliver 20 horsepower, allowing the car to theoretically go 70 kilometers per hour.

The fuel consumption of the engine is about 9 liters per [-] kilometers, which is actually a very embarrassing figure: the early gasoline engines were actually not rigorous in workmanship, their performance was actually very ordinary, and their fuel consumption was relatively high.

The design of the fuel tank of this car is also very strange. It relies on gravity to let gasoline enter the carburetor, but the position of the fuel tank of the first generation T-model car is designed very low, which makes it unable to climb when it is short of fuel. Slope, if it needs to go uphill when it is short of fuel, it can only go uphill in reverse...

Therefore, Tang Mo could only directly take out the follow-up improved drawings, and designed the fuel tank to the position between the engine and the driver.

Despite these and other shortcomings, the emergence of this kind of car did solve Tang Mo's need for cars. He could finally mass-produce cars on a large scale, and then let his troops move faster.

At the same time, he will also greatly save his time. The car can effectively fill the gaps in the transportation branch line, allowing him to reach his destination faster.

In fact, the biggest advantage of Ford Model T is that it uses the assembly line production method, which makes it easy to manufacture and produce!
With a combination of skilled workers, a Ford car can be assembled within 10 minutes, and it saves materials. These advantages all meet Tang Mo's needs.

As long as this car is cheap enough and produced fast enough, he can make more money to improve his car production line and produce better cars!

The car at this moment is not elegant at all, but Tang Mo can be sure that as long as he needs it, Matthews and the others can build him a more luxurious car!
Tang Mo has even selected his favorite model: Rolls-Royce Silver Charm 1923!He plans to use this car as his first car, after all, he doesn't like the cheap mass-produced Model T car.

No matter how good the Model T was, it was just a matter of solving problems, and he had to add some surprises to his life and create some romantic atmosphere.

Rolls-Royce's Silver Wraith car has a very powerful performance. In 1923, it could rely on its excellent performance V6 six-cylinder engine to make the car reach a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour.

What's even more amazing is that in that era, it could also guarantee that the car would not break down and continue to drive at high speed.

Compared to the Model T car that would break down if it didn't start, the Rolls Royce was an excellent car in the true sense, a luxurious existence that could show Tang Mo's identity!

"After we have improved, we can add 2 seats to this car, or add a carriage that can be used for transportation." Matthews proudly introduced the improvement direction of this T-shaped car. In his opinion, Tang Mo has already It is no different from the god of technology.

And he personally is obviously dissatisfied with the performance of this car: "Theoretically, it can pull a C80 field gun, but it cannot be driven off-road, and it cannot be driven too fast."

"The carriage can't pull the C80 field gun off-road, and of course it can't pull the C105 howitzer. But we can use two carriages in series to pull the C105..." Parker on the side was a little nervous, he was worried about Tang Mo I was also dissatisfied with the performance of this car, so I explained.

"It's okay, we'll have cars with more horsepower soon, so don't worry about that!" Tang Mo comforted the nervous Parker, and patted him on the shoulder.

After comforting Parker, Tang Mo looked at the T-model car in front of him again, and asked Matthews, "Now we can think about it. How much is the right price for such a brand-new vehicle?"

"How about 177 gold coins for a car?" Matthews felt that such a design against the sky should earn at least twice the profit no matter what.

The cost of producing this car is about 59 gold coins, and it is sold for 177 gold coins, which is actually not expensive.

After all, this thing is the crystallization of technology!It is a precision machine driven by the most advanced gasoline engine! 177 gold coins is much cheaper than a steam engine.

"So, you're not bad as a craftsman, but you're still not good enough to be a businessman." Tang Mo said to Matthews with a smile.

Then he looked at Harry standing beside him, and asked, "What about you, how many gold coins do you think this car should sell for?"

"I think, if you can afford it, it's best to only sell it for 80 gold coins!" Harry thought for a few seconds before answering Tang Mo's question.

Tang Mo laughed loudly, then nodded and said, "After the first batch is produced, we will find ways to reduce the cost. The final price is... 75 gold coins!"

Compared with other competitors, his biggest advantage is that there is no research and development cost, and he will not take any detours.He can completely reduce the cost to an unbelievable level according to his personal preference.

Therefore, in certain industries, as long as Tang Mo is willing, he can go his own way and leave others nowhere to go.

In the very important field of automobile manufacturing industry, Tang Mo is ready to do just that - he seizes the market with an absolute price advantage and defeats those competitors who try to copy or catch up!

When the world is full of his cars, his follow-up models will also swallow up the entire market, leaving no gaps for other competitors.

The reason why he wants to do this is to delay the time for his opponent to copy him as much as possible, and then let him have more time to reserve sufficient time for oil and other energy sources and subsequent technological breakthroughs.

Now that the opponent has been thrown off technically, it can completely block the opponent in the backward field with the double advantages of technology and price.

When competitors like Cyric think about making competing products, they will find in despair that they have no profit at all.

Immediately afterwards, they will fall into the embarrassing cycle of building is worse than buying, and buying is worse than renting, and they will not be able to catch up with Tang Mo's footsteps in their lifetime.

"It's so cheap?" Matthews was taken aback. He thought Tang Mo would make a fortune with this new means of transportation.

"Is it cheap? If someone imitates it, I'll sell it for 70 gold coins immediately!" Tang Mo smiled evilly, like a man-eating monster.

But soon his smile became brighter, because the car was manufactured, which must be good news for him.

So, he walked up to Matthews, patted the dwarf on the shoulder, and then patted Parker on the shoulder, and then looked at Harry: "Don't be stingy! When the production capacity increases, I will give each of you a car like this !"

As he spoke, he teased Matthews and said, "...Maybe, you still need a driver! Hahaha! I'll find someone to drive for you!"

"Speaking of the driver... Wes!" He looked at Wes who was standing aside and was still looking up and down the car: "You may have to learn to drive! I need a driver!"

"Driver?" Weiss obviously didn't understand the word.

"Coachman!" Tang Mo explained, "It's similar to your current job!"
