Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

It turned out that when Lin Yuan turned to the last page, the first thing he saw was the number below, and he saw that it said: [-] tons of aluminum.

This figure does not seem large. You must know that in modern society, the world's annual aluminum output is close to 1000 million tons, but in this era, the annual aluminum output is only more than 180 tons. What kind of company is this?How could you ask for so much aluminum all at once?

Lin Yuan looked up, and a familiar English name came into view: Coca-Cola!The name is well-known in modern China. The company was founded in the 19s, which happened to be the rising period of Coca-Cola's career.

Shen Wanqing also saw Lin Yuan's surprised look, and asked, "Have you seen the Coca-Cola Company? I was thinking at the time, what does their beverage company need so much aluminum for?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "You don't understand that. Although aluminum alloys play an important role in national defense and military industry, in modern society, they are most used in food containers, such as beverages, food packaging, etc. Coca-Cola needs so much aluminum to be used for beverages."

Shen Wanqing said: "I don't know how the British talked with them at the beginning. Look at the delivery date, it is only two months away. Can we produce 40 tons of aluminum in such a short time? How about more than 200 tons from other companies? Coca-Cola’s liquidated damages are very large. I calculated that it was as much as [-] million pounds.”

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "No wonder Jonas didn't bargain with me? The original source is here, and I don't know how much production capacity the British equipment has. So, let's ask Mr. Liu Jinqiu, We’ll make a decision after we ask.”

So Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing rushed to Fengtian, and after getting off the train, they rushed to the British aluminum factory. As expected, Liu Jinqiu was already inside, so Lin Yuan asked, "Old Liu, how about the British equipment?" ? How much can the output be?"

Liu Jinqiu pointed to a piece of equipment next to him and said, "Did you see it? This is the core area of ​​the entire equipment: the aluminum electrolytic tank, where aluminum is produced. The increase in aluminum production comes from the electrolytic capacity of the aluminum electrolytic tank." The entire equipment uses a small direct current with a current intensity of about [-] amperes, and with such an intensity, it can produce about [-] kilograms of aluminum in one day and night."

"According to the number of aluminum electrolytic cells, the entire aluminum plant can produce up to [-] tons of aluminum in a month, but we can use advanced technology to change these equipment, such as carbon rods used in anodes, their carbon rod technology is still very advanced. backward, so the efficiency of electric energy usage during electrolysis is very low.”

Lin Yuan asked: "How much time does it take to improve the technology?"

Liu Jinqiu said: "It will take three months anyway."

Lin Yuan said: "Three months, that's not acceptable, Coca-Cola will not be able to deliver orders by then."

Liu Jinqiu said with a smile: "I'll try to say as little as possible in three months. If the development doesn't go well, it might take three years."

Shen Wanqing said: "Then we have no choice but to breach the contract, but it doesn't matter, we just don't lose money, let's see what they can do to us?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and smiled, "I really want to seize this opportunity and complete this order."

Shen Wanqing asked puzzledly: "Why? Do we really want to earn that money? Where can we not earn that money back in the future."

Lin Yuan said: "In our time, China is the factory of the United States. The high living standards boasted by the Americans are based on the blood and sweat of the Chinese people. When they place an order for us, our workers will work for them. When producing commodities, they will take the bulk of the profits and we will take the small ones, but in this era, we need to reverse this situation.”

"We want to use our advanced technology to turn the United States into our factory, let the Americans sweat and sweat to produce goods, and finally the bulk of the profits will belong to us, but to do this, we must first enter the American market, so I want to make the Coca-Cola Company Take this incident as an opportunity to enter the US market."

Liu Jinqiu said: "Your idea is very good, but it is really impossible to produce more than 200 tons of aluminum within two months."

Lin Yuan asked: "How about we improve the production technology? How much aluminum can we produce every month?"

Liu Jinqiu replied: "At least [-] tons. With the further improvement of our materials, we can increase the production even higher."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "That's enough, I'll go to them right away and ask them to delay the delivery date by three months."

Shen Wanqing asked: "How is this possible? Is there any way you can get them to agree to delay?"

Lin Yuan replied: "We are time travelers, and time travelers of course have ways that others can't think of."

After that, Lin Yuan found Coca-Cola’s commercial representative in China, Johnson Erics, through the American ambassador Thomas. In Lin Yuan’s era, Coca-Cola did not enter China for the first time until 19’, but due to Lin Yuan’s arrival , and won several victories in the Northeast, which made the world pay attention to China.

Erics is a guy with a lofty heart, but he is not valued in the Coca-Cola company. Suddenly one day, he reads Lin Yuan's big victory and the immigration to the northeast from the newspaper, so he came up with a Coke The idea of ​​cola entering the Chinese market happened to be the plan of the top management, so he came to China, but these days Erics is frowning, because the Chinese don't buy their drinks.

He led people to sell this drink on the streets of Fengtian. He thought that Chinese people who had never tasted this drink would rush to buy it, but after standing on the street for a day, no one cared about it. Later, he asked a Chinese person to find out that they The drink is brown and black, and most Chinese people think they are selling traditional Chinese medicine soup.

And they also made a more fatal mistake, that is, they did not translate "Coca-Cola" into Chinese at all, so they only wrote English on the banner, but how many Chinese can understand English in this era?When most people saw those English words, they thought they were ghost-hunting charms drawn by Taoist priests.

Lin Yuan arrived just at this time. In the reception room, Lin Yuan stretched out his hand to Erics and said with a smile, "Hi, I am the general manager of Zhang's Aluminum Group, Zhang Yuan."

The contract for purchasing aluminum was signed by Erics himself. The high-level executives were very interested in using aluminum cans to hold drinks, so Erics was no stranger to Lin Yuan's arrival. He shook hands with Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan He smiled and said, "I'm sure you've heard that the British Aluminum Company has already transferred all the shares to Zhang's Aluminum Company, including the contracts signed by them, and we will complete all of them."

Erics said with a smile: "I don't want to be involved in the transfer of equity between your company and British Aluminum, but I hope that the transfer of equity will not affect our delivery contract."

Lin Yuan said: "Of course, we will definitely fulfill the contract, but I am here to inform you that our company may not be able to complete the aluminum production within the contract period."

Hearing this, Erics couldn't help standing up, and said in surprise: "What did you say? Your negotiator at the time assured me that the delivery would be on schedule."
