People in the Republic of China era began to rise from industry.

"Currently, the cost of manufacturing one unit is around 8,000 yuan, and the initial planned selling price is 9,800 yuan."

It was Lin Yi who spoke.

Although the Longxing truck has extremely 'outstanding' performance

However, it adopts a minimalist style.

The chassis, engine, gearbox, plus a driveshaft, four wheels, and four tires.

The rest of the place is made of sheet metal and wood.

There's only one windshield.

Both sides of the door panel are made of sheet metal wrapped with wooden strips.

Weighing just over 2.5 tons, it has a significant cost advantage.

"However, once production increases, the cost will be further reduced, and it should be around 7,200 yuan."

"If the warlord is planning to buy a batch, up to a hundred units, they will be sold at cost price."

“If the number exceeds this, I only need to make a profit of 500 yuan per unit.”

Upon hearing the price, Liu Yuanfu's eyes immediately lit up with a smile.

This was much cheaper than the French truck he bought.

The entire journey from France, through Myanmar, Yunnan Province, and finally to Sichuan Province, has resulted in a price exceeding ten thousand yuan per unit!

Even this was something he discussed directly with the French.

If a middleman gets involved, it would probably cost 11,000!

The key point is that the load capacity is only 2.5 tons.

Therefore, it's best if our Chinese people make it themselves!

With these two advantages alone, how much oil is used is no longer important.

Governor Liu said very politely, "I'm not in a hurry. Once production increases, I'll buy a hundred vehicles first!"

……

"Currently, the monthly production capacity is only about 250 units."

"Once the subsequent equipment arrives, and the workers become more and more skilled, by the end of next year, the monthly production capacity will definitely be able to reach 1,000 units as planned."

The offline ceremony has concluded.

Liu Yuanfu and his group arrived in high spirits and left satisfied.

Fan Zhongxu accompanied Lin Yi through the busy workshop, reporting on the situation as they walked.

"However, Mr. Lin, even if we produce a thousand units, I'm afraid it won't be enough to sell."

"Judging from Governor Liu's demeanor today, their procurement volume will be substantial."

“If he makes a move, Chen Bonan, Li Delin and others will definitely make purchases as well.”

"Plus the orders I've already secured, we're going to be very busy this year."

Lin Yi nodded first, then smiled and said, "The market situation is probably better than you expected."

“The Nationalist government is undergoing restructuring and weapons need to be replaced. There will definitely be a demand for heavy-duty equipment like trucks.”

"At that time, I'm afraid they'll be the ones who benefit the most."

Fan Zhongxu was stunned for a moment, then asked anxiously, "Mr. Lin, can we still do business with them?"

It was an open secret that the Nationalist government's arms purchases were almost entirely controlled by Kong and Song.

Given Lin Yi's relationship with the two of them, how could the other party possibly cooperate with Lin Yi?

Old Fan was one of their own. Lin Yi briefly explained to him about his collusion with He Jingzhi, and then said with a smile, "President He has been gone for so many days and hasn't given me any news."

"However, I suspect there's some progress."

Fan Zhongxu took a moment to process what was happening before he finally understood.

Since He Jingzhi wants to reap the benefits, he will definitely try every means to make this happen.

If you encounter any difficulties that you cannot resolve, be sure to contact Lin Yi and work together to find a solution.

The simplest way is to strive for a greater price advantage.

No matter how powerful Kong and Song are, what they can do for ten dollars, He Jingzhi can do for eight dollars.

With so many powerful military and political figures in Nanjing, it was impossible to allow Kong and Song to act recklessly.

Public opinion is a powerful force, and even the highest-ranking person cannot pretend to be ignorant about this matter.

The reason why He Jingzhi has not sent any news so far can only be that the situation is still under his control.

Once the arms factory's sale of weapons to Nanjing is finalized, the purchase of Feng Hua's trucks will be a natural progression.

Having figured this out, Fan Zhongxu was both happy and worried: "Mr. Lin, if this really works out, then we'll be under a lot of pressure."

"By the end of next year, we need to produce at least 1,500 units to fulfill all these orders."

Lin Yi chuckled and set him a new goal: "Strive to reach two thousand units."

There's no way around it; once a war really breaks out, the losses on the battlefield will be substantial.

The arsenal also needs to speed up the production of anti-aircraft weapons.

When war breaks out, places like automobile factories, arsenals, and ironworks will definitely become targets of air raids.

As long as the Japanese send troops to the Northwest, the entire Sichuan province will be within their bombing range...

Just as Lin Yi had predicted.

He Jingzhi is now extremely confident that he can successfully procure weapons from Lin Yi's arsenal.

That one is still struggling with the issue of control of the arsenal.

However, all the key members of the Military Commission were inclined to purchase domestically produced weapons.

Putting aside the benefits he received from sharing the profits, the fact that subsequent supplements are easier to obtain is the most convincing argument.

Even if we no longer have control, we are still on Chinese soil.

In particular, the main purpose of this large-scale reorganization was to counter the Japanese people's covetousness of China.

Purchasing weapons and equipment from abroad is subject to problems at any time due to changes in the international situation.

This is something that naturally doesn't exist with domestically produced weapons.

Even if the arsenal is located in Sichuan Province, Liu Yuanfu, that old fellow, would have to think twice before trying to interfere.

The more certain he became, the less anxious he became.

Haste makes waste; rushing things can easily backfire.

He wasn't in a hurry, but Kong Yongzhi was furious because of this news.

The attack on the textile association's industry seminar was planned with such a grand scale.

As a result, the attack had just begun in the morning, before the sun had even set, when a dramatic reversal of fortune unfolded.

Not only did it fail to cause Lin Yi any trouble, but it also allowed this guy to gain a good reputation through this incident.

Regardless of whether the direct order model for purchasing cotton from farmers ultimately succeeds, Lin Yi, who was the first to propose this idea, has reaped all the benefits.

Because of this, his chest ached all night.

Family doctors are now bringing oxygen cylinders to people's homes.

It took him several days to accept this harsh reality and to muster his strength to fight again.

Lin Yi's business is so big, I don't believe he can take everything into consideration.

Let's seize the opportunity to cause him some trouble, or at least vent our anger.

As a result, before he could find an opportunity to retaliate against the other party, the Lin Yi Armory incident occurred.

In addition, the other person's attitude was also hesitant, and he had been so stressed these past two days that his cheeks had swelled up.

"The madam has given us news; it seems we can't stop her from buying weapons from Lin Yi."

In Song Wenchang's office, Kong Yongzhi lay back on the sofa, speaking listlessly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he gasped again.

My face hurt terribly, like I'd been slapped.

"The attitudes of the other members of the Military Commission are there for all to see; no one can disregard their opinions."

Song Wenchang's tone was very calm.

He had previously revealed this information to Kong Yongzhi.

I was shocked at first.

They were shocked that Lin Yi had managed to build an arms factory.

However, I've calmed down in the last few days.

There are special steel manufacturers, as well as textile machinery and equipment manufacturers and automobile manufacturers.

Combining these two things makes gun manufacturing relatively easy.

It would be truly strange if this guy didn't set his sights on the military industry...
