Chapter 24 On BMW
"What can I make money?" Qin Ge thought to himself, "Shipbuilding? This is definitely not possible. The construction period is long and the profit is small. Selling steel? It's not enough for me! Selling guns? It's definitely impossible now. Selling technology? This is even more impossible. Oh, why didn't I know how to learn some business knowledge before?"
"Anderson, you know what is very profitable now, and I can make it very quickly." Qin Ge asked Anderson who was looking at the drawings.
"Oh, boss, your question is too stupid. How could there be a product in this world that is highly profitable but can be made quickly?" Anderson laughed. It turned out that the boss also had times when he was stupid.
"Uh..." Qin Ge was speechless. He thought about it. How could such a commodity be found in this world? Even if there is one, it is the patent of a big capitalist. Well, let me think about what luxury goods are in the future.
The first luxury goods in later generations, Qin Ge thought of sports cars, "Cars, haha, I want to invest in a car factory."
"Anderson, do you know the car?"
"Car? Oh, I know this. When I was in Germany, I heard that an engineer named Karl Benz built a three-wheeled car. It didn't use a horse to pull it, but used the internal combustion engine designed by Duval, yes, internal combustion engine."
"Oh? Then what do you think of the market potential of things like cars?"
"This...uh...I'm sure it has no market, because it's hard for people to accept this weird thing, such as a steam turbine. Although it was invented very early, the UK is still studying piston steam engines."
"That's because I haven't received good publicity. As long as the publicity is in place, I think the cars I designed will definitely become one of the luxury goods of the upper class! I decided to build a car manufacturer here, and the name is BMW!"
"BMW! This name is so good!"
......
Qin Ge was speechless. Is the name of my automobile manufacturer just a little?
"You take the drawings and hand them over to the steel factory for casting according to the marked time, and then let the machinery factory polish it."
“OK.”
"Wait," Qin Ge called Anderson, ran back to the room and opened the safe to take out a piece of information, and handed it over to Anderson, "This is a new steel forging technology. After you call it to Louis, he must keep it confidential. All important components of the steam turbine must be made of new steel."
"I can guarantee Louis' character, boss, you can rest assured."
Qin Ge nodded and said, "Yes."
After Anderson left, Qin Ge came to the villa of Hodward and Duval.
"Oh, boss, why are you here? Please come in quickly." Duval was the one who came to open the door. There were no servants in the villa. When Hodward inside the house heard that the boss was coming, he quickly got up to make coffee.
After Qin Ge sat down, Hodhua's coffee came up. Qin Ge picked up the coffee, put it to his mouth but stopped again, saying, "Do you put sugar?"
"Let it go, let it go."
Qin Ge took a sip and put down the coffee. It was so bitter that he dared to say that he had added sugar. Is there no sugar in Hawaii? This kind of high-quality coffee can't even feel a trace of sweetness.
"Does the boss want to see our improved design drawings?" Huo Dehua asked when he saw Qin Ge put down his coffee.
"No, no, I came here mainly to find Duval. Of course, I can also check out your design drawings by the way." Qin Ge said.
When Duval heard Qin Ge say he was here to find him, he asked, "I wonder what the boss is asking me for?"
"That's right, I'm going to build a car factory, I need an engine."
"Uh...Boss, do you want to install the engine I developed for the plane onto the car?"
"Yes, can you show me your engine design drawing first?"
Although Qin Ge can also make an engine, it is too much technically beyond this era. Qin Ge wants to use the technology of this era as much as possible. Too many technological innovations may accelerate the development of history, which Qin Ge does not want to see.
"good."
Duval went back to his room to get the design drawings, and Qin Ge asked Hodhua: "How is the aircraft improved? Can it be tested?"
"If the pilot's safety is not guaranteed if the test flight is tested, Hodhua said, taking out a drawing from a small cabinet in the hall and handing it to Qin Ge.
Qin Ge spread out the drawings and saw a biplane with a rear-mounted engine, which was convenient for pilots to observe. The structure of the aircraft was very simple, but it was probably possible to fly.
"Make it out as soon as possible, and the test flight can be carried out at the beach, so that the pilot can obtain greater safety guarantees. If the aircraft loses control, the pilot can jump into the sea."
"Oh, this idea is really great, but boss, wouldn't the plane fall into the sea if it comes?" said Hodward.
"Anyway, it's a failure, so you don't need to fall into the sea. If you are making another one, you can consider installing two floats on the plane to make it parked on the seaplane. You can install signal lights on the plane, so that the warships can be calibrated. You must know that the combat distance of warships will be more than 10,000 meters in the future. If an aircraft is calibrated over the enemy, the chance of victory will be at least 20%. " Qin Ge said.
"Seaplane! Calibrate the warship! Oh, boss, you are so awesome. No, I have to modify the design plan immediately!" As he said that, he grabbed the drawings from Qin Ge's hand and ran back to the room.
Duval came out with a bunch of design drawings. Seeing Hodwah’s appearance, he asked Qin Ge: “Boss, what’s wrong with him?”
"Oh, he thought of a better design plan." Qin Ge would not say that he could guide him.
"Oh." Duval said, handing Qin Ge his internal combustion engine design drawing.
Qin Ge looked through the design drawings, and Duval introduced on the side: "I named this engine Dewar Type I. Its maximum output power is 1.7 horsepower, and its speed can reach 900 rpm."
1.7 horsepower, 900 rpm, should be very advanced in 1888. Qin Ge said: "Improve this engine as soon as possible, and then let the steel and machinery factories get the parts needed, and get it out as soon as possible."
"good."
Qin Ge then went to the villa in Ghana. Qin Ge came to Ghana and was staring at the drawings. Qin Ge did not bother him and asked someone to make a cup of tea for him. He didn't dare to coffee at other people's houses anymore.
Ghana's drawings are many times larger than ordinary drawings, because the things he designed are too big, and the drawings are sandwiched on a large drawing board. Those who don't know think Ghana is a painter.
Qin Ge looked at the drawings and suddenly thought of a movie "Tai Chi: Starting from Scratch" that he saw in 2012 when he was a child. He remembered that there was a robot in the movie. The robot was made by Da Vinci's design drawings. Qin Ge thought to himself: If I also made such a thing, then the people of the whole country would not worship him when they returned to China? Well! We must make one, but let Garner help me get the internal structure of the car first.
