My Italian: Chapter 372 turin car factory
Turin is one of the important industrial cities in Italy, and its steel and military manufacturing industries are excellent.
Of course, Turin is also a sweet city. One-third of Italy's chocolate is produced in Turin and its surrounding areas, so it is also known as the sweetest place in Italy.
Giovanni Agnelli is also feeling the sweetness and today is a big day. It was a matter of business between Giovanni Agnelli and his friends, and it must not be sloppy.
"Everyone work harder and clean up the factory."
The factory that Giovanni Agnelli talked about looked very simple. In the production workshop converted from an abandoned small warehouse, eight people, including Giovanni Agnelli, are trying to make the messy workshop orderly and attractive.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing in the workshop is a semi-finished car placed in the middle. Judging by the pristine condition of the car, which is full of knock marks, this is definitely a 100% hand-built car.
Of course, this is also the pride of Giovanni Agnelli, not everyone can produce 5 cars a year (in 1895, Giovanni Agnelli sold five cars to Baron Seides and his friends, and in the previous year In 2010, his factory almost went bankrupt).
Look at those who are as ambitious as myself. After creating their own car factories, many of them closed down after producing one or two cars, and even closed down without even completing one car. In Turin alone, Agnelli knows that there are several.
So for the vast majority of automakers, survival is the top priority.
Of course, although Agnelli is still alive, but if he wants to live better, his small factory needs more capital and technical help.
And the person who needs to be received this time is a big shot who can bring him the required technology and funds.
If Morales knew that others called him a big shot, he would probably wake up from his dreams, because he had seen what a real big shot looked like.
And he, a manager of an investment bank, is not qualified to use this title.
Of course, for those workshop-like car factories, Morales is indeed qualified to be called a big man.
"Squeak~"
A car stopped in front of its factory, and Morales got out of the car with his top hat.
"Hello, Mr. Morales, welcome to Brother Automobile Factory."
Giovanni Agnelli greeted Morales who got out of the car with a sincere smile.
"Mr. Agnelli, now take me to your factory."
As the manager of an investment bank, Morales had precious time and was unwilling to waste it, so he directly asked to visit the production workshop.
"Okay Mr. Morales, this way please."
How could Agnelli refuse the request of a possible big benefactor, and lead him directly to the factory workshop where the document is written.
Along the way, Agnelli took the opportunity to introduce his factory. "Mr. Morales, our brother car factory is definitely the most powerful factory in Turin (there are only three in total). Our factory currently has eight senior car manufacturers with an average experience of 7 years and 2 years. month, and our factory not only has good personnel, but also has their own abilities.”
"This is Burr, who is proficient in forging and has ten years of forging experience."
"This is Roland, who is proficient in..."
Giovanni Agnelli introduced the other seven people one by one. According to him, his car factory is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and it will fly to the sky.
Of course, these introductions are not as good as the introduction to the product. I saw Agnelli pointing to the semi-finished car.
"This is a car built for Lord Garrett. This 07 car has a -3 gasoline engine produced by the Milan Power Research Institute, which can provide a strong power of up to 32 horsepower for this car. And we use 15 ㎝ wide tires have stronger grip, and we use spring suspension to allow the car to run at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour without too much bumps."
According to Giovanni Agnelli, Morales didn't pay much attention to it. He had heard too many such introductions. Which factory owner didn't talk about his factory being hyped, but unfortunately he didn't pay attention to this aspect.
"Mr. Agnelli, how much do you sell for this car?"
Facing the question suddenly raised by the donor, Giovanni Agnelli immediately answered. "This 07 model uses a lot of new technology, so we sell it at 28,000 lire. However, our car factory is planning to expand its operations, so as to reduce costs. Maybe the price of the car will be reduced to 20,000 lire in two years. Anything below 10,000 lira is possible.”
Giovanni Agnelli also has his own confidence in saying this. Although the cars are all handmade, he can unify the models that are popular with everyone, and then purchase and build them centrally, which will save a lot of time and cost. .
Hearing this, Morales asked.
"Mr. Giovanni Agnelli, what do you think is the most important thing for the development of automobiles in the next ten years, and what should your factory do?"
Giovanni Agnelli was stunned when he heard this. This big benefactor does not play cards according to common sense at all. How could he ask this right away?
However, when facing the waiting eyes of the other party, Giovanni Agnelli knew that this question was quite difficult. It was a test of his vision, so he began to meditate.
And Morales waited silently at the side without urging him.
After thinking about it for nearly ten minutes, when it almost made people think that he was asleep, Agnelli spoke.
"For cars in the next ten years, I think performance is important, but if you want to achieve development, then the price factor is the key. At present, car buyers in all countries are nobles or rich people, which is not conducive to the promotion of cars. I think cars need Make it affordable for ordinary people. Of course, this may not be achieved within ten years. But we can let the middle class buy cars first, so my factory needs to find a way on this point.”
When Giovanni Agnelli said this, his eyes became brighter, and he became more and more excited as he spoke, because he felt that he saw the future of the car.
"First of all, the price of the car, the current income of the middle class, will not consider a car worth tens of thousands of lire. It is too expensive and they don't have that much financial resources, so we need to consider reducing the price of the car to thousands of lire. And If you want to reduce the car to thousands of lire, then first of all, our workshop-style manual construction will not work. The parts of the car must be made by machine. We first select one or two models that everyone likes, and then use them as templates to create standardized Cars, yes, standardized cars."
"Standard craftsmanship, standard specifications, and standard processes. This will definitely lower the price of the car, even to below 5,000 lire."
Giovanni Agnelli said with excitement, as if he had been enlightened by God.
"Crack, clap!"
After Giovanni Agnelli finished speaking, Morales on the side applauded, and the other seven employees also applauded.
"Wonderful, very wonderful, I haven't heard such a wonderful speech for a long time."
Morales said to him with a smile on his face. "Congratulations, Mr. Giovanni Agnelli, you have convinced me. Don't worry about the investment issue. It will take a few days. I hope you don't misunderstand. Mila's qualifications."
What Morales said made the others extremely happy~www.mtlnovel.com~ But Giovanni Agnelli was much calmer, and he smiled slightly. "That will trouble Your Excellency."
It's not that Giovanni Agnelli is unhappy, but that after mastering the wealth code, Giovanni Agnelli has full confidence in the automobile factory he founded, so the money is no longer a problem.
"You are welcome."
Morales then chatted with Agnelli for quite some time, and it was clear that Morales respected him a lot more after the baptism.
But the time passed quickly, and it was not long before the sun set. Morales walked out of the workshop, glanced at the sign posted outside, and said to Agnelli who saw him off. "This brother car factory is not grand enough, I think it can be named after Turin."
"Turin Automobile Factory?"
Giovanni Agnelli pondered the name in his mouth.
"Thank you for your suggestion, I will consider it carefully."
