Rise of Australia

Chapter 192 Two Kinds of Trucks
Seeing Benz and Diesel again, Arthur found that they did not lose themselves because of their small property, and even loved their industry and scientific research more.

You know, both Diesel and Benz each hold [-]% of the shares in the engine factory and the automobile factory.

From the current point of view, the automobile factory is currently the most profitable enterprise of Arthur's royal family consortium. The current annual income is at least 500 million pounds, and it will increase with the expansion of the market.

And Benz occupies 100% of the shares of the automobile factory. Although this is not much, it can also earn more than [-] million pounds a year.

This is the millionaire of the early twentieth century!Looking at the entire New Zealand region, the total financial revenue in 1903 was only 150 million pounds, which was even similar to Benz's total pre-tax revenue.

Benz: What is a rich country?This is an incomparably rich country!

Although the comparison of wealth is only for a small country like New Zealand, it can definitely be called an incomparably rich country, and Benz is definitely one of the richest people in the world today.

Although Diesel's engine factory is not so exaggerated, it also brings Diesel an annual income of more than [-] pounds.

What's more, from a strategic point of view, Diesel's engine factory is a more important enterprise than Benz's automobile factory, and its promotion of all aspects of Australia is definitely more effective than a small automobile factory.

Among other things, engines are needed for almost all large machinery.Warships, airplanes, automobiles, tanks, and even future self-propelled artillery and various civil machinery, don't they all need various types of engines to propel them?

Benz and Diesel were also happy when they saw Arthur.The two made up their minds to come to Australia from Germany. In addition to being moved by Arthur's high research funding, they wanted a more stable research environment to pursue their respective research opportunities.
A greater breakthrough in the Internet is also a very important part.

Now it seems that whether it is Benz or Diesel, both of them have achieved great success in their respective industries. Benz One has been successfully sold all over the world and has become one of the most profitable companies in the world.

Diesel's engine research laboratory has also successfully developed various types of diesel engines and gasoline engines, making great contributions to the development of automobiles, trucks, and aircraft.

It can be said that the reason why the performance of Benz one can be so advanced, in addition to Benz's painstaking research, the engine from Diesel's research laboratory also played an irreplaceable role.

"Your Highness!" The two saluted Arthur one after another.

"Long time no see, Mr. Benz, Mr. Diesel. You two are definitely the biggest contributors to Benz One's current sales performance. Have you received the checks from the royal bank? This is the dividend from the automobile factory and the engine factory. , is also the best reward for you." Arthur said with a smile.

For heroes, Arthur has never been stingy.What's more, these two people made Arthur earn 2000 million pounds, so naturally he didn't care about such a small reward.

"Received, thank you, Your Highness!" When it came to the check, the two people's faces showed a little excitement, and they said with a little gratitude.

Compared with their previous experience as entrepreneurs, they prefer to work for Arthur as a scientific research expert and person in charge.

At least, they don't have to worry about business issues, they only need to devote themselves to scientific research, and they can also make huge profits.

On the other hand, they were so overwhelmed because their respective companies were unable to make ends meet that they didn't even care about scientific research. Instead, they were burdened with debts. A fool would know how to choose.

Checks for both are freely convertible into British pounds or Australian dollars.Even though the pair spent most of their time in Australia, there was no problem sending them Australian dollars.

But Arthur still chose to let them make their own decisions. After all, this is a reward, and it would be a bit disgraceful if they were forced to exchange it into Australian dollars.

After talking about the sales and profits of Benz One, the topic returned to the main topic, which is why Arthur came to the car factory.

"Mr. Benz, you said that the truck mentioned last time already has a test product, has it been tested so far?" Arthur asked.

Trucks are actually not high-tech things. Compared with ordinary cars, they only reduce the number of passengers and add a cargo compartment behind the car.

In fact, many things are used in the big truck, and the finished product cannot be produced in a short time.

Whether it is the type of engine or the specific design of the truck, it takes a certain amount of experimentation to get a more suitable idea.

But now that Benz has notified Arthur, it means that the design of the truck has already taken shape, and a test product that can withstand the experiment has even been born.

"We have gone through several rounds of small-scale testing, Your Highness. This truck is currently parked in our warehouse, please follow me." Benz explained with a smile.

The Benz Automobile Factory has become one of the most profitable companies in the world. The main factory in Australia has also undergone many expansions. The warehouse of the automobile factory alone occupies a huge area.

Although it is an automobile factory in name, this automobile factory also takes into account the research and development, design, testing, production, maintenance and other functions of automobiles. Each function has a relatively independent workshop and site, which also leads to the current Benz Automobile Factory being a The largest enterprise in Australia is not only the land area, but also the number and size of workers, and most importantly, its earning power and value.

It is precisely because the automobile factory is too large that this time I went to the warehouse not on foot, but by car.

Of course, the Benz Automobile Factory naturally has no shortage of cars, whether it is the armored and special glass cars prepared for those nobles and capitalists, or the Benz one normally sold on the market, they can be seen everywhere in the car factory.

Compared with the normal Benz one, this kind of car with steel plate inside and special glass is called Benz one, which is specially provided to the major nobles and capitalists around the world.

Such a car is even resistant to long-range fire from a pistol, and is also good against close-range fire from a pistol.

As long as it is not a close-range shooting of a rifle, or an attack from a heavy-fire weapon such as a heavy machine gun or a small artillery, the lives of the passengers in the car will basically not be in danger.

The current development of weapons is not too developed, and weapons with high firepower cannot be hidden at all.This has also led to the current and even future assassinations, basically using pistols and short guns, and their power will be greatly reduced.

If such a gun is fired at close range, although it will penetrate the armor of Benz ones, it will actually cancel most of the damage.

As long as it is not a coincidence, it will only cause serious injuries.

In this era when guns are not banned, coupled with the fact that capitalists exploit the people very fiercely, some assassinations are still very common.

Especially when politics are involved, assassination is inevitable.Even the former Crown Prince of the Tsarist Russian Empire, and the current Tsar Nicholas II, didn't he also experience a near-death assassination in the island country?
It is precisely because these aristocrats and capitalists are afraid of their own lives and possible assassination that this special customized car is very popular.

Although the price of Benz ones will be much more expensive, and the average price even exceeds 250 pounds, it still cannot stand up to the nobles and capitalists' love for life.

However, for Arthur, such a vehicle is more of a gift to other nobles.

At present, Arthur has donated more than [-] cars to the European region, and the targets of the gifts are all major nobles in the European region, including the British royal family and the German royal family.

A few minutes later, several people came to the rear warehouse of the Benz Automobile Factory.

This warehouse is connected to the laboratory and research room of the automobile factory, and only the experimental products of the new design of the automobile factory are parked in it, not the finished products produced.

In the current warehouse, there are ten large trucks neatly parked.

Of course, these ten trucks are not exactly the same, and they can be divided into two types in terms of size.

Arthur looked at Benz, and Benz immediately understood and explained with a smile: "Your Highness, please look, these are the two experiments that we finally made after many designs, experiments, and improvements based on your opinions." product."

After speaking, Benz walked up to the smaller truck and said: "The smaller truck that you have seen, Your Highness, uses the same gasoline engine as the cars we produce. It has the advantages of low noise and smoke exhaust. less, suitable for transport within city limits."

"But it also has obvious shortcomings. Because of the gasoline engine, the power is not very sufficient compared to the diesel engine. At present, the maximum cargo capacity of our minivan is about [-] tons, and the maximum driving speed is about The speed is [-] kilometers per hour, and the maximum driving distance is about [-] kilometers." Benz explained helplessly.

Gasoline and diesel engines have their own advantages, but they also have their own disadvantages.Minivans use gasoline engines, and naturally inherit many of the shortcomings of gasoline engines on the premise of obtaining various advantages of gasoline engines.

Still, the low-emissions, quieter van is better suited for city hauling.This will not affect the urban environment too much, and it is also suitable for the characteristics of a large number of people in the city.

After all, in the city, no matter how spacious the road is, it is not very suitable for overly large trucks.

"The large truck next to it uses a diesel engine with more horsepower and is equipped with a larger cargo box. The maximum cargo capacity of this large truck is 35 tons, and the maximum speed is [-] kilometers per hour. Hours, the maximum driving distance is [-] kilometers, which can basically meet your Highness’s expectations for trucks.” Benz looked at the slightly larger truck beside him, and introduced.
