Chapter 225: Knock it down
When Yan Shao carried her into the room, Lu Ying's heart was more nervous than joy. Just like what I once said, I don't know if Lu Dao's body is already a little 'overhealthy', or if there is something wrong in the process of crossing, Yan Shao himself is simply an animal in estrus 24 hours a day, if it weren't for the fact that all kinds of measures have been carried out very well, I am afraid that in a few years, I am afraid that he has more than ten children like that Sun Baoqi.
However, it is precisely because of this 24-hour estrus characteristic, and the fact that there are basically only female dependents in the house, so Yan Shao and Elano are inevitably a little presumptuous, so by chance, Lu Ying has also bumped into so many times, plus some knowledge from all sides, I don't know anything about this aspect of thingsββββββ In the past, this knowledge was taught by the girl who was her mother before she got married, but it is a pity that Lu Ying's mother died early, and her only father was also sunk in Jiangxin, and the location was in Jiangxin, I guess I won't be able to fish it out in this life, but even if it doesn't sink, it's impossible to teach, after all, it's too beastly.
Although I learned some from various sources, after all, it was just hearsay, and it was impossible for Lu Ying not to be nervous. It's just that when Yan Shao put her on the bed and skillfully untied her shirt with both hands, although her body was tense, she didn't refuse, she just closed her eyes while the flush deepened on her face, and the eyelashes on her eyes trembled slightly...
Women's chastity is as big as the sky, Lu Ying has received this kind of education since she was a child, and she is very impressed.
If it were another situation, even if Lu Ying had already regarded Yan Shao as his everything. It is impossible to acquiesce to Yan Shao's doing, after all, this is the old-fashioned early twentieth century, not the era of openness a hundred years later.
Lu Ying used to receive some old-fashioned education. In recent years, although I have come into contact with some new ones, I have only expanded my knowledge, and I am still an old-fashioned woman in my bones.
The problem is that if Yan Shaoming is really married, don't forget, there are still two in front of her. Although they are all foreign women, they have followed Yan Shao for several years longer than her, and they have not married Yan Shao. Where does Lu Ying have this reason to ask.
And Yan Shao once said that after he reached the point of discipline and government, he would give them someone worthy of them. A wedding that everyone will remember.
Discipline and government, that is, the moment when all the warlords are swept away, China is completely unified, and he becomes the lord of the world.
?Eminence. Lu Ying naturally believed that Yan Shao was capable of doing this. For Yan Shao, except for some private life matters, Lu Ying can almost be said to be blindly obedient to him. The problem is that even if she has confidence in Yan Shao and rules the world, in her opinion, I am afraid she will give more than ten years, which is less, ten years...
Ten years, how many decades are there in life? Ten years later, Elaline and Caterina are 34 years old. Although Lu Ying is younger, she will be 28 years old ten years later.
In this day and age. If a woman is not married at the age of 20, she will be gossiped about, and she can only get married at the age of 28, that is, if she can spend candles with Yan Shaodong, even if Lu Ying is conservative in her bones, she can't accept it.
So, since there is no way to keep the old ways, I have to be flexible...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
In winter, it must be quite thick, but Yan Shao's hands are still very skillful in removing the clothes on her body, and soon the two pairs of jade rabbits are free from the clothes.
When the burden on her chest was exposed to the air, Lu Ying, who had closed her eyes shyly, could even feel Yan Shao's hot gaze.
Everything is just like what Yan Shao mastered in the past, the two pairs of jade rabbits on Lu Ying's chest are indeed not as plump as Elaline and Katarina, but after matching her 163cm smaller figure, this jade rabbit that is a few points worse than Elanon's them, but it looks extremely pure, coupled with that unusually handsome face, the childlike big breasts are really appropriate...
It's just that Yan Shao knows very well that it is simple to enjoy the beauty in front of him, but after enjoying it, he needs to face the fury of the other two beauties. Originally, Yan Shao wanted to drink more wine at the party, and then pretend to be drunk and disorderly, so that at least there was a reason to get by, but people who knew him knew very well that unless there was something important, he usually didn't drink at all, so even at the reception just now, few people dared to come forward to toast him.
However, after thinking for a while, he gave up this idea, because this excuse was a loss to both Katerina and Lu Ying. And since some things have been done, you have to have the courage to face them, and Yan Shao is unwilling to use such an excuse to escape.
Yan Shao was like a hard-working farmer, little by little, he took off the clothes on Lu Ying's body, and soon after the pair of plump jade rabbits, his slender waist and slender legs were also exposed, and Lu Ying's whole person was more like a stripped white sheep...
It's just that when Lu Ying, who was mentally prepared, thought that Yan Shao would treat her like she did in the past, and she didn't happen to see Yan Shao and Elaino, Yan Shao just kissed her forehead, nose, and cherry lips, and her hands were just gently kneading on the pair of plump but still developing jade rabbits...
Although Yan Shao and Lu Ying have had many intimate actions in the past, they have never been so intimate once, but just when Lu Ying, who was in a daze, thought that he was mistaken, in fact, this is what happened between men and women, after a few minutes, he felt that the two points of red on Lu Ying's chest had stood up, his waist swayed slightly, and his slender legs unconsciously overlapped each other, and after rubbing slightly, Yan Shao lowered his head and gently bit one of them.
With a pleasant moan, Lu Ying's originally limp body suddenly tensed.
However, this time Yan Shao was no longer as gentle as just now, and after making sure that the jade man under him was ready, he laid her flat on the bed, and Yan Shao leaned over to meet her...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Just when Yan Shao was cultivating another virgin land like a hard-working farmer and enjoying the joys of the world, Ford, who was far away in Detroit, had already grown a lot of gray hair on his head for only about a month.
For him. I am afraid that I have not suffered as much in my life as in the past month, and what makes him suffer is Yan Shao's automobile assembly line.
Probably just a few days ago, according to William? C. Klein got some information from Anhui. Coupled with Ford's investment, they finally managed to come up with a relatively rudimentary assembly line. Although the assembly line was very rudimentary, after some trial and error, both Ford and others had to admit that this new way of working was indeed many times better than the existing manual workshop method.
If this way of working can be used, Ford's production capacity can definitely reach the level of one million a year, and the cost of cars can be greatly reduced.
It's just that at this time a problem came up, and this problem was the so-called intellectual property rights.
After getting the assembly line out. Yan Shao has asked people to apply for intellectual property rights related to assembly lines in major countries around the world, such as China, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Spain, Japan, etc., and almost none of them have been missed. And these countries naturally include the most powerful industrial country today, the United States...
Due to the protection of the patent right, it can be said that it will be at least 17 years, unless Yan Shao allows it. Otherwise, neither Ford nor any other car company would have access to assembly lines.
Nature. This is just theoretical, Ford they can also use it secretly, but if it is not discovered, it will be forgotten, if it is discovered, they will have to pay a huge price.
In fact, the reason why Ford's Model T was able to dominate the world in history was that it was able to exceed more than half of the world's production in 1921. I am afraid that it is not unrelated to the monopoly of this assembly line.
At present, Yushi produces 160,000 vehicles a year (Ford is not yet aware of the new production line and modified models), which is equivalent to 5 to 60% of the entire United States. If Ford wants to compete with Rainstone, he must first understand the problem.
At the very least, Ford must also get a patent license for the assembly line so that he can stand on the same starting line as Rainstone. The question is, if there's something so good, who wants to share it? At least not at all.
(I remember someone once said that the reason why the Ford Model T was able to occupy 56.6% of the global market in 1921 was because Ford creatively adopted the production assembly line, and other companies did not realize the huge superiority of assembly line production.)
The problem is that the assembly line came out in 1913, if it was only one or two years, two or three years, it would be counted, from 1913 to 1921 for a full 8 years, how idiots did other automobile companies give to them, so that they did not notice the importance of the assembly line for more than 8 years? What's more, the Model T car was produced until 1927, and the most discontinued Model T car was not because of production capacity, but because the people in the United States and Europe began to appreciate the car with higher comfort, rather than the Model T, a simplified car that simplified everything in order to reduce costs, so the point of view adopted in this book is that Ford has mastered the patent of the assembly line, so that Ford's production capacity has been more than half of all other car companies in the world, otherwise it can only admit that other car companies are all idiots. For more than 10 years, I still don't realize the importance of assembly lines... οΌ
"Why don't we try to see if we can give us some protection through the government?" Seeing that everyone was looking worried, after a moment of hesitation, one of the management spoke.
Hearing him say this, some people's eyes lit up, but soon some people shook their heads.
"No, not to mention anything else, if it's just for our company, how can those government guys come forward?"
"Of course, we won't come forward, but what if it's a national car company? Now those Chinese are dumping cars in the United States, damaging the interests of all car companies in the United States, if we all stand up at this time..."
"That's right, and maybe we can use this to force those Chinese to hand over the permission of the assembly line..." seemed to think of such a result, and another management also said with some excitement.
What he said was naturally not to let Yan Shao sell the patent, and he was not so naΓ―ve, after all, if the patent was in Yan Shao's hands, then he would be the only one in the world to use, but if it was sold, not to mention anything else, the one in front was talking about launching the automobile company in the United States. If you really want to sell it, who will Yan Shao sell it to? I'm afraid that I won't agree to sell it to anyone, but if it is sold to all the companies in the United States. I'm afraid the European side will not agree.
Yes, the United States is indeed the world's largest industrialized country, but it is not yet the world's largest power, and it is much worse than Britain and Germany.
All they wanted was to find a way to force Yan Shao to give up the license of the patent, so that they could also use this kind of patent. So that at least everyone can stand on the same starting line. Of course, there is also a price to pay, and all of you here are businessmen. Naturally, they know very well that there is no such thing as a free dinner in the world, but if it is only to pay a certain price, they are still willing to bear it.
Let the government come forward and coerce and lure the Yushi Group. If you don't come from. Raise tariffs on automobiles until you can compete fairly with them.
Some people's eyes brighten up the more they talk about this, while many people, including Ford, are silent.
It was half a bell before Ford shook his head. "It's not easy to get the government to help us erect trade barriers, and we don't forget that the constitution says that there can be no barriers to business. This is common to all states in the United States..."
Obviously, the constitution is amended for the sake of one industry. This is unrealistic.
And it's not 20 years from now, it's the beginning of the 20th century, and it's the time when free trade is prevalent, and the erection of trade barriers at such a time may have an impact on the policy of the whole country.
"But you always have to try..."Seeing that Ford vetoed his proposal, the manager who had made such a suggestion before stood up and defended.
"Yes, there's no other way now, anyway, it's good to try..."Seeing that someone stood up, some others also chimed in. These were all shareholders of Ford, and like other companies, Ford had a significant number of shareholders and directors, so Ford was not a word for Ford, and he also had to consider the opinions of shareholders, and this continued until 1917.
Historically, Ford was very willing to invest in the construction of automobile assembly lines, although the profits were very high, Ford has always refused to pay dividends, but invested almost all the profits into reproduction, and constantly equipped his assembly line with the most advanced equipment.
Ford's move led to a backlash from the Dodge brothers, one of Ford's major investors. Because Ford refused to pay dividends, they went to court in 1917 to sue Ford for not paying dividends, and the court eventually ruled that Ford had to pay $19 million in profits to pay dividends. The problem was that Ford himself was the largest shareholder of Ford, and at that time, according to the judge's decision, $11 million of the $19 million in profits was distributed to Ford himself.
And it is precisely because of this incident that Ford broke with the shareholders, in order to complete 100% control of the company, Ford agreed to spend $106 million to recover the shares from the shareholders, and Ford already had more than 56% of the shares in his hands at this time.
By the way, Ford would definitely not be able to take out more than $100 million, so later the money was borrowed from the bank. borrowed more than 60 million yuan, plus his own, and finally made up enough 100 million dollars.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Ford doesn't think the U.S. government is going to put pressure on Yan Shao or the new Chinese government on their behalfββββββ if the current Chinese government has the capacity to do so.
Out of the importance of Yan Shao's competitor, Ford has also paid attention to some news about China, and naturally knows very well that China is now making a revolution, and the southern province to which Yan Shao belongs has now been recovered, and it is Yan Shao himself who has recovered the province, and the central government certified by the province of liberation, that is, the Nanjing government, has no control over other provinces at all.
It's just that the opinions of shareholders are very important after all, and Ford is unwilling to disobey them, so they finally joined forces with other automobile companies to apply for trade protection from the U.S. government, or secretly put pressure on Yushi Company, asking them to open up the patents of assembly lines, so that all automobile companies can compete fairly, otherwise they will impose sanctions on Yushi Group alone.
Power and money transactions exist in any dynasty and any country, and the United States is naturally the same, but the United States is talking about it a little, which is called political donation, but this donation must not be given in vain, and it will not be in vain, you must always do something.
So after these car companies joined forces, the U.S. government really thought about it seriously, and then vetoed it.
After all, this is not the 30s, it is the era of subsidies for all sides, and at the same time there are big trade barriers, free trade is the policy pursued by the United States, and the US government is not willing to change this for the sake of the auto industry.
Of course, that's not all...
If trade barriers are really imposed, we must take into account the attitude of the Qing court, that is, China.
China is not to be feared, but in addition to China, you should also consider the attitude of other countries.
You banned the Rainstone Group, it seems that it has nothing to do with other countries, but the question is that there is no country that does not have one or two things that are good at? If you blocked China's cars today because of the threat, will you also block other countries tomorrow for this reason?
And the United States is not just an auto industry, if you really follow the practice of those car companies, I am afraid that it will not be long before people from other industries will flock to it.
At that point, things are really in trouble, so the U.S. government can only reject the application of Ford and other companies and insist on free trade, even though he really wants to do something... (To be continued......)
