The first car made by Carl Benz was at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour.

Although there is no timer, Li Mu can be sure that the speed of the "BMW" is definitely over twenty kilometers per hour.

Considering that the weight of the "BMW" must be greater than that of Carl Benz's tricycle, this result proves that the engine developed by Steed Labs is indeed of good quality.

"Our speed does not mention the maximum speed. In fact, if we increase the power, we can design an engine with a speed of 30 kilometers per hour. However, such an engine is not stable and will affect the life of the engine. So we The speed is generally controlled at about 20 kilometers per hour, "Franklin explained in detail.

"If this speed is maintained, how long can our engine run without failure?" Li Mu is more concerned about the stability of the engine.

Regarding engine stability, this is the core performance of the car.

At the time, Carl Benz developed the first car. Although this brought honor to Carl Benz, this monster that constantly emits stinks always broke down, so it was ridiculed by many people. It has been improved many times, but there are still many problems. In order not to make a fool of the public, Carl Benz does not even have the courage to drive it to the streets in public.

Carl Benz's wife Berta Benz made a brave move at this time.

One morning in August 1888, when Bentz was still dreaming, Berta awakened the two children, pushed the car out, and then started the motor to Pforzheim, more than 100 kilometers away, to visit the child's grandmother. .

After driving for 14 kilometers, the car 's fuel was gone. Berta had to go to a pharmacy to buy crude gasoline to add fuel to the car. After 70 kilometers, a steep **** stopped Berta 's way. The eldest son pushed behind the car and finally pushed the car over the steep slope. Accidents frequently occurred along the way, and the oil circuit of the engine was blocked. Berta repaired it with a hair pin. The insulation pad has resolved the fault.

Until sunset, the mother and child arrived at their destination hungry and tired.

Despite frequent failures, the courageous actions of Berta's mother and son finally made the car show its value.

Li Mu didn't want to see his "BMW" fail frequently, so from the beginning of the research, Li Mu took "stable operation" as the first element of research and development.

"Excuse me, Mr. Riem, in order to get the bonus, we haven't tested the limit-" Franklin told the truth, when he said this, Franklin's face became unconsciously red, this is really not a gentleman.

"Test it, I'll pay the bonus, twice the bonus-" Rockefeller finally restored his language ability, and said the words in a nearly roaring manner.

"You don't need to come out. They belong to Steed Labs and are my employees." Li Muyi was right.

The engine developed does not mean that everything is worry-free. The Steed Lab will continue to study more powerful, stable and better engines. Only by maintaining a long-term technical leadership can we ensure that "BMW" makes more money for Li Mu. .

Therefore, Li Mu will further expand the Steed Research Institute, not only to expand the staff, but also to increase funding. Therefore, these researchers are now Li Mu's treasure. Preventing people from digging them out is Li Mu 's first priority. .

To know that Rockefeller is on the car, and the car has proven the true value of gasoline, you can confirm that Rockefeller will also set up its own research institute, so Li Mu cannot give Rockefeller any chance.

"I didn't mean to dig into your corner, just to express my gratitude. If this makes you uncomfortable, I apologize-won't your Steed Lab refuse to refuse to donate?" Or Rockefeller understood Li Mu's money string and gave it immediately Got the right advice.

"Of course not." Li Mu did not reject Rockefeller's kindness this time.

"Awesome, Rim, I want to thank you, you are an angel sent by God to save me—" Rockefeller hugged Li Mu, kissed and kissed Li Mu's face.

"You bastard-let go of me-" Li Mu was anxious and angry, and Lao Tzu's first kiss was still there, but I can't let you, a bearded guy, take away--

"This is for you, fill in the numbers as you please, no matter how much you fill in, I will recognize-but Riem, if you want to set up a factory to produce cars, I also have a 40% stake-" Rockefeller does not Silly, just for a while, Rockefeller has determined the value of the car.

"Why?" Li Mu jumped.

Li Mu was relieved to let Li Mu go to the pit of his family's shares, but when he was treated by his own way, Li Mu felt heartbroken--

This standard is too double!

"Brother, I gave you 40% of my gas station-" Rockefeller opened his eyes wide, expressing his innocence, come on, hurt each other!

"So what? I'm not incapable of paying for it. It should be forty percent. I found a sales channel for your" wastewater ". You should be grateful to me. This is what it should be; For the car, what did you do? Could you just give me a check without filling in the numbers— "Speaking here, Li Mu took a closer look at the check in his hand, and suddenly became furious:" Is there a limit! Can you take some more leave? "

"Rim, Rim listens to me, I know that all the technology of the car belongs to you, so you can invest in technology, and let us count it-how about twenty percent?" Rockefeller opened the terms, not because of lies. Feeling sorry for being taken apart.

Twenty percent technology investment, that is, in the case of equal investment by Li Mu and Rockefeller, Rockefeller only holds 40% of the shares, which is a good proposal considering the total investment of the car plant.

Although it is good, it has not yet reached Li Mu's goal. This is the first car in the world. Almost all technologies can be applied for patents. These comprehensive patents are enough to form a strict patent wall. Anyone wants Research cars can't get around. This alone is more than 20% worth.

"Technology shares are 40%, and we invest in equal amounts, each accounting for 30%." Li Mu could not shake off Rockefeller and simply tried to strive for better conditions.

To be honest, Li Mu did not throw away Rockefeller. The current Rockefeller family has definitely greater influence in the United States than Li Mu, so Li Mu needs to rely on the strength of the Rockefeller family to accomplish his goals.

This is also Li Mu's original intention to make Rockefeller.

There is nothing to gain but to want to tie Rockefeller to his chariot, Li Mu must pay something so that Rockefeller can get on the car willingly.

"Deal!" Rockefeller didn't hesitate, 30 percent to 30 percent.

Seeing Rockefeller promised so happily, Li Mu felt that his price was lower.

But it doesn't matter. At the current level of Li Mu, it doesn't matter how much money he makes. It is more important to achieve his own life goals.

"When will BMW be mass-produced? The first car must be given to me. I have to drive it back to New York with my own hands. How about giving me this one? How much is it? Is $ 10,000 enough?" Rockefeller generously, can't wait for it now Started building factories.

The Rockefeller family's oil fields have been dumping gasoline for more than a decade. This is an unjustified loss of profits. Rockefeller felt heartbroken when he thought of it.

Fortunately, Li Mu researched the car and finally "waste utilization". Thinking of this, Rockefeller saw Li Mu more and more cute.

"It's not working now, but we need to continue to improve it. From here back to New York, what if you think about it, what if you break down on the road? It's difficult to push back all the way? And it's not as much as 10,000 US dollars, 1,000 US dollars is already It's expensive enough. "It's not that Li Mu's heart is not black, but Li Mu knows that no matter how high the value of a single product is, it can't be achieved by large-scale production. As long as the output is raised, the profit margin is a bit less.

After Carl Benz developed the first car, the price for the car was 3,875 marks, equivalent to about $ 950. This price was set a little high, and few people could afford it. By 1894, Carl Benz changed his mind. The development of a car worth 2,000 marks was a great success, and Carl Benz has since emerged from economic difficulties.

In the United States, the Ford Model T was priced at $ 850 in the early twentieth century. The models that competed with Ford at that time usually cost $ 2,000 to $ 3,000. Later, Henry Ford adopted an industrial vertical integration method to optimize cars. In production, the price of the Ford Model T has gradually dropped to $ 300.

For $ 300, Ford sold 15 million Model Ts, a record that has remained close to a century.

In terms of quality, the performance of the "BMW" developed by the Steed Institute should be similar to that of the Ford Model T, but considering that the time is more than 30 years in advance, it is also reasonable to have a higher price. At the beginning, the output was low. Thousands of dollars are expensive, and a thousand dollars is a large number for ordinary American families, but for "BMW" cars that have no competitors around the world, this price is really not high.

Ford Model T was originally sold very well, so Henry Ford refused to change, and even thought that Ford only had a black color is enough, not even the money to invest in research and development of new colors.

Li Mu is definitely not like this. In Li Mu's mind, the market should be segmented from the beginning, and the rich should drive more advanced cars. Therefore, Li Mu prepared more than just the "BMW" brand. What "Benz", "Rolls" "Rice", "Bentley" and so on, Li Mu will use them all in the future to form a rich product line to meet the needs of different classes of cars.

Speaking of which, Rockefeller really took advantage.
