During World War II, Volkswagen actually assumed more the function of a military factory. Recommended: Mao Ni's new work: "The Great Way to the Sky" http://m./3_3439/ This automobile factory, which was originally built for ordinary people, only produced less than 20,000 cars for ordinary people, and was converted to military service.

Because of the production of tank accessories, the factory had many advanced forging equipment. After these equipment were returned by the British, they could be gradually applied to the production process of automobiles.

Although Volkswagen today is not as good as Mercedes-Benz under the control of the United States in the complete set of automobiles, in Zhou Nan's eyes, Volkswagen's development potential is far superior to Mercedes-Benz.

Because all Mercedes-Benz processes are just for the existing models, and any improvement requires the addition of new equipment. However, Volkswagen does not need to do so. Volkswagen's current production constraints are somewhat large, but many equipment can be used in future models.

Among them, Volkswagen's four giant forging equipment are an advantage that no automobile manufacturer can compare with.

However, Zhou Nan saw the scale of FAW in later generations. When he went to Wudang Mountain, he also saw Erqi, a city that was a factory, so Volkswagen has not surprised Zhou Nan too much.

Only when I got off work at noon, I saw a large-scale handover of 10,000 or 20,000 people, Zhou Nan truly felt that the crowds of the motherland in later generations were like water.

Audrey stood on the balcony with Zhou Nan's arm in his arms. When she saw the crowd dispersing, she spoke: "It's really spectacular. There are probably not so many people in Lucerne."

Of course, there were more people in Lucerne than Wolfsburg, but Audrey's feelings at this time were just shocked, so Zhou Nan would certainly not correct her words. "Let's go, let's go down for lunch."

The house is too big and there are too few people. This house looks beautiful, but there is no popularity when it is living inside. Zhou Nan now feels that building a smaller house was the right choice.

Zhou Nan and the others had seven or eight people, plus the Hoffman family and two servants, so they filled the small restaurant. If Zhou Nan and the others were not there, Vera and Claudio would no longer have it. When there were only three people in the family, Janik, Caroline and Leon, the house would be too big.

Caroline put a huge barrel for Zhou Nan and placed it in front of him. "Eat slowly... You have just arrived, and Yanic will not come back to have a meal."

Etini looked at Zhou Nan and smiled. Zhou Nan was embarrassed to say that this was something he was causing, and said with a smile: "Mom, he has serious things. He should come back to have dinner in the evening."

The front face of the model designed by Zhou Nan for Volkswagen is actually not very useful when there is only one model at present. It can only be said that it can be used as a future design concept.

However, the seat belt he designed aroused strong interest from the design department. The main reason why the three-point seat belt can be called a standard seat belt in later generations is that it is convenient, free and simple.

In this, except for the locking system that requires a little technical content, other aspects are completely a design issue.

Moreover, locking systems are not new technologies. In many machinery trades, this technology has long been circulated. For example, the continuously variable speed clutch that has appeared long ago has the same principle.

As soon as this design drawing was taken out, everyone studied it thoroughly. Based on this point, it also shows that the design is qualified.

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class design drawings, such a luxury car, cannot be suppressed by the shell alone if Volkswagen wants to put it into production. Not to mention that it also requires high-powered power, designing the entire power system, suspension system, and interior from scratch.

The main purpose of taking out this design drawing is not to start production, but to dig holes for the British.

Volkswagen now relies on the sales of Beetles, and each car has a factory price of 1,100 US dollars, and its monthly sales can reach 1.1 million US dollars, and its gross profit can be almost 40%.

This profit is of course very high, because the technology of the Beetle model was mature before World War II. Now the factory has almost no technical cost. In production and sales, except for the cost of accessories, almost all profits are profits.

In addition, there is also the exclusive sales of accessories, which is not low in profits. In terms of profit ratio, it far exceeds the profit of the entire vehicle.

After the mass production resumed, the number of workers has now reached 15,000. Except for a few expert staff, most workers are only paid five dollars a week.

This is not that Yannik refuses to pay high wages, but that the British do not allow it. The food supply in the entire British-occupied area is arranged by the British, and everyone has a fixed quota.

After controlling the distribution of food, the British naturally had to plunder all the value created by the Germans. In terms of the average income level of workers in the British-occupied area, the monthly income of each German is basically controlled at around ten dollars.

Because the British are responsible for eating, ten dollars is enough for a bachelor. If it is a family of three, it can barely be able to pass, but if there are more people, it will not be enough.

This forces everyone else to come out to work and create value for the British.

The British-occupied area is better. In the French-occupied area, many people have worked hard for a month, but only have the most depreciated equivalent francs now. When people get the money, they must spend it immediately, otherwise they may depreciate.

The British on Volkswagen have controlled the food supply, and each worker still has about twenty dollars in income per month, which is already the highest income group.

Now Volkswagen can earn about 600,000 US dollars a month, workers' wages are 300,000 yuan, purchase more than 100,000 yuan in grain, factory operating costs tens of thousands of dollars, and net profits are less than 100,000 US dollars, but it is almost the same.

In just half a year, the factory started to make profits, and both the British and Yannik were very satisfied.

After workers maintain basic living security, they will make all profits. Therefore, the British are more active than the Germans and have been actively promoting the expansion of production.

However, if all these profits were taken away by the British, Yannik would certainly not be willing. Now, producing 10,000 cars a month will make a profit. If 20,000 cars a month is produced in the future, the profit will be greater than 600,000.

Taking away the British purchasing costs and the loans of the British Bank of America, the factory shareholders can only have a small amount of funds to allocate. Yannik now only has 40% of his shares, and even less can be allocated.

However, if a model that makes the British excited to develop is naturally willing to invest money in, use the money to compensate to develop new models, accumulate technology, and reduce the pressure on factory operations.

After these research and development technologies have accumulated, even if they cannot produce luxury cars like Mercedes-Benz S-Class in the future, they can still be used in intermediate cars like Passat.

Therefore, Yanik did not take out the Passat drawings, but directly took out the Mercedes-Benz S-Class model.

Of course, the British admire this model very much. The square tiger head is grand and heavy, which is absolutely in line with the aesthetic views of everyone in this era.

But compared with this model, the British are more optimistic about the Mercedes-Benz G off-road vehicle because this car has a natural sales group, that is, the army.

As a military vehicle, this off-road vehicle is far more than all off-road models on the market. And because the chassis of this car is integrated and the R&D cost is relatively low, you only need to find a suitable engine and you can have other corresponding mature technologies.

Because Volkswagen has the corresponding technology of off-road vehicles, the Volkswagen barrel car is a relatively easy-to-use military vehicle, but it has now been surpassed by the American Jeep.

The amount of procurement of the army is very amazing, especially in this era, when war is about to break out, and all countries are actively developing advanced military vehicles.

Mercedes-Benz G was originally designed for the army. Its square appearance can have greater space. The raised territory is enough to cope with all terrain.

Although Zhou Nan only drew the appearance of the G series, he also marked the performance and requirements of the car on the drawings. The British also agreed with this development direction.

After they got the drawings, they began to study them carefully. If they could use existing technology to complete the design of this car, then there would be no worries about the sales of this car.

At present, Volkswagen currently lacks a high-power engine with reliable performance, all other conditions are met.

Yannik had been fighting with the British all morning, and wanted to win greater benefits for Zhou Nan, only Zhou Nan was not concerned about this and entrusted Yannik and Held to help him negotiate with the British.

As for Mr. Porsche, Janik just took a look at the design of 911. He sat in the office for half an hour before finally calling his eldest son in Stuttgart and asked him to come to Wolfsburg immediately.

The 911 car was developed by Ferdinand, the eldest son of Old Porsch, sixteen years later. Zhou Nan has no doubt that he would not agree with this design.

As for what conditions Yannik would talk to him, Zhou Nan didn't care at all, and even felt a little embarrassed. After all, this was someone else's design.

However, he took it out sixteen years in advance, which is also beneficial to their current difficult Porsche company.

Volkswagen workers work hard as usual, without knowing that because of Zhou Nan's relationship, the leadership is now in chaos.

Ivanhurst immediately sent a telegram to the British General Command in Cologne, believing that the model Zhou Nan came up with was expected to become a best-selling model after being designed by Yanik, and that British companies should join in.

Yes, it is impossible for the British to pay attention to a look of a look. But when Volkswagen has the ability to turn this model into reality, if British companies do not participate now, they will have no chance in the future.

Zhou Nan did not want to get involved in such negotiations because of his special identity and the British were unwilling to negotiate terms with him. If he did not join in, it would be a joy for everyone.

After lunch, the whole family drove four Beetles together and went to Bergen Belson concentration camp more than 80 kilometers away to check the preparations there.

Several women were very interested in making movies and wanted to see them. Only Leon was resentful because he had to go to school and refused to take him there.
