My Italian: Chapter 429 Fiat Type A car

The Fiat factory on the banks of the Po River in Turin is full of voices. For Fiat, today is a big day. It was indeed a special day, at least for Giovanni Agnelli and everyone at Fiat. (In the last year, Giovanni Agnelli decided to rename the Turin Automobile Factory as the Fiat Automobile Factory)

For the Fiat company led by Giovanni Agnelli, it has developed step by step in the past few years. Fiat's car manufacturing capacity has also increased from 12 cars a year at the beginning to 300 cars a year now. However, such a result does not satisfy Giovanni Agnelli and the main investors behind it. One is the car price. The lowest price of Fiat's previous cars has reached 5,000 lire. This price is still unattainable for the general public, because the current salary of ordinary working-class Italians is only 100-140 lire, which requires five years of work without eating or drinking to buy one. How can others buy it? rise.

Of course, the price of 6,000 lire is already a very low price for other car manufacturers, so Fiat cars are not like other manufacturers that can only be used by the rich and wealthy families, but have begun to touch the middle class high-income earners.

It is also true that the sales of Fiat Automobiles are booming. However, this did not satisfy Giovanni Agnelli, because the car is still a luxury, and the public has not yet felt the convenience of this means of transportation.

But now, Fiat's new A-type car is the weapon that opens up the civilian use of cars.

"Mr. Morales, this epoch-making masterpiece, a sharp weapon for the era of the automobile industry, has made the Italian automobile industry stand at the top of the world."

Agnelli highly praised the car in front of Morales.

In front of them is a brand-new car, which looks a little simpler than the various cars currently on the market. The tarpaulin roof, the seats made of ordinary mahogany, and frugal details can be seen everywhere, even the windows and rearview mirrors are so small.

"This type A car is 4.1 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 1.7 meters high. It is equipped with the latest four-cylinder integrated engine (2.9L) from the National Power Laboratory. This engine has 20 horsepower and can take four people. And in the case of carrying 200 kilograms of luggage, let the car run at a high speed of 70 kilometers per hour."

However, although this car does not look good enough, since Giovanni Agnelli introduced it so solemnly, there must be his own reasons, and he continued to introduce it immediately. "Aiming at the current income situation of the middle class, our A-type car will set off a storm in the auto industry with an unprecedented price advantage. Who can stop its charm at a price of 3,400 lire."

That's right, the reason why Giovanni Agnelli has such confidence in this car is the absolute advantage of its price.

Although the A-type car has many disadvantages, the price advantage alone means that other cars cannot resist the charm. This car is the foundation for the development and growth of the Sophia company.

"Mr. Giovanni Agnelli, this car is very good, it is an epoch-making masterpiece."

As a representative of Fiat's major shareholder, Morales is also a person who understands the auto industry very well, otherwise he would not have invested such a large sum of money in Fiat on behalf of the royal family fund.

At present, 42% of Fiat's shares are held by the royal family fund, while Agnelli and his friends hold a total of 24% of the shares. But paying such a price also made Fiat the largest automaker in Italy and Europe. (That's right, with an annual output of 300 cars, it is the largest car manufacturer in Europe. It is conceivable that the European auto industry has a lot of workshop production.)

However, although Agnelli holds less shares, Morales trusts him very much. Except for financial supervision, Agnelli is in charge of Fiat's large and small affairs.

The price of the Type A car is only 3,400 lire, so Morales naturally knows the power of this low-priced car. That's right, although the rich and the aristocrats will definitely not choose this relatively simple-looking car, but how many are the rich and the aristocrats, and how many are the middle class and the general public, so this is the key.

"By the way, Mr. Agnelli, I have a very important question. What is the maximum production capacity of Model A?"

Now Morales asks the important question of the car's production.

"Mr. Morales, currently our new factory in Turin can produce up to 1,500 Model A cars per month. Such a high output is thanks to the division of labor on the assembly line, which allows us to improve efficiency."

Agnelli danced with excitement when she said this. "Mr. Morales, you are really an expert in the study of efficiency. This assembly line is indeed worth the money and can greatly reduce the construction time."

Agnelli's praise of the assembly line is indeed correct, but it is a bit self-deprecating. Because although Morales proposed this method, if he did not take the management team to watch the slaughterhouse that adopts assembly line operation, as well as the design of the automobile manufacturing assembly line, as well as the efforts of trial and error correction, this automobile assembly line operation would not be possible. likely to succeed.

"Can the output of 1,500 vehicles satisfy the market?"

Hearing Morales' question, Agnelli looked at him and replied. "My colleagues and I have studied the current market capacity of various countries, and the monthly output of 1,500 vehicles should be able to meet the market."

Yes, Agnelli is very satisfied with the current output of the new plant, which is several times higher than that of other European manufacturers combined. Is there anything that I am dissatisfied with.

Speaking of which, Fiat's new plant covers an area of ​​50 hectares and has 3,000 employees, making it a well-known large enterprise in Turin.

From all aspects ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Agnelli can be considered a successful person.

"The monthly production of 1,500 vehicles may not be enough, you need a larger production capacity."

Morales gave successful people a slap in the face that the Model A was produced too little.

But in the face of Morales' views, Agnelli has a different view.

"Mr. Morales, we think that the production is enough. At present, our production is higher than that of the whole world. Although our Model A car is very good, and it will cause a sensation, but for now, the Model A car is enough. We can continue to decide whether to continue to expand production after the Model A sales data comes out."

"Okay, Agnelli. Since you insist, let's take your opinion as the main point, and decide whether to expand production after the sales results are obtained."

After hearing that Morales no longer insisted, Agnelli also breathed a sigh of relief, because he did not want to be awkward with the major shareholder representatives.

"Mr. Morales, wait for the good news that the Model A is selling well."
