Chapter 206 Driving
The first car is off the line.
Although the production line has not been fully started, many cars are not produced like assembly lines. In the first batch, only ten cars are produced, and the rest will need to be assembled after tomorrow.
So this car is the first car in Lufeng Electric Tricycle Factory.
Lin Tao deliberately.
Once upon a time, Lin Tao visited several famous museums in the capital.
He once saw that new domestic tanks were placed on the platform in front of the museum for everyone to visit.
In fact, Lin Tao thought that in the future, the first car must be kept well. When the factory is bigger, the first car will be made into a table and placed at the door of the factory.
Very childish idea.
But Lin Tao thinks it's pretty good.
"Who tried the first car?" Du Tongshan asked, wiping the oil on his hands.
He was assembled with the workers just now. Lin Tao was watching from the side. Although he couldn't understand, he still remembered the last time he connected the controller's wire in the opposite direction. He was afraid that if Du Tongshan made this happen again, the joke would be a big deal - at least two people were there last time, and this time, everyone in the factory was there.
"I'll do it!" Lin Tao took the initiative. In fact, he was afraid that there would be a reversal accident. At least he would be mentally prepared for this matter. It would be better not to say such things, giving Du Tongshan a face, and at the same time it would also demonstrate his rights as the boss behind the scenes.
After getting in the car, he turned the key to start. Lin Tao slowly twisted the handle. After the car motor made a muffled "buzzing" sound, the car began to start slowly.
"Let's go!" Some workers shouted in surprise, as if the electric car could be driven away. What a great thing it was.
"Look at how steady Mr. Lin drives!" Someone said unconsciously. At this moment, no one thought he was flattering. In fact, Lin Tao drives very steadily and slowly, which is about a little faster than ordinary people's walking speed.
Lin Tao probably felt that the speed was very slow, and quickly accelerated it, from five kilometers per hour to twenty kilometers per hour, but it took less than a minute.
The maximum speed of the electric three-wheel three-design is 48 kilometers per hour, but Lin Tao tried for 40 kilometers and did not test it later. He felt that this could be increased, but it was not necessary. In the countryside, a speed of 20 kilometers is enough.
At least faster and more convenient than small four wheels.
Afterwards, Lin Tao used the function of reversing and heard the familiar voice of "Reversing, please pay attention! Reversing, please pay attention!", Lin Tao smiled.
I really miss it!
After parking the car back to its original place, Lin Tao got down, habitually pulled out the key, and threw it to Du Tongshan: "You technical supervisor, try it too! The car has good performance and good balance. It seems that Chen Erdong designed it very well, and there is basically no problem of weight deviation. By the way, how far can this battery run once it is fully charged?"
"In theory, it can run 60 kilometers." Du Tongshan said: "In fact, it should be less. After all, it is impossible to use all the power on running, which will lose some."
"Enough." Lin Tao said with a smile: "I can't run so far in a day. By the way, how much electricity does it take to fill it up once?"
"It's about ten degrees." Du Tongshan said: "We're a sixty-volt battery with ten degrees of electricity."
Nowadays, ten-degree electricity costs more than 30 cents, which means that charging is less than five yuan per dollar, and you can run about fifty kilometers, which is a very cost-effective way!
Lin Tao was relieved to learn this data.
At least if farmers are asked to buy this three-wheeled electric car, there will be no big burden.
It takes at least several days to charge once, but it only costs less than five dollars, which is worth it!
It is also convenient, without any effort to shake the tractor, does not require considerable driving skills, and is also convenient to park.
It can be said that it is much more convenient than a tractor!
Especially for rural women, children and the elderly, it is really convenient!
At this moment, Lin Tao seemed to see the huge market waving towards him.
Whether it is to provide convenience to rural labor or to open up this huge market, this is a very good thing.
Win-win is actually such a win-win situation.
People in the factory tried the electric tricycle one by one, and some even joked that they wanted to buy the tricycle for their own home use.
It seems too convenient and too easy to operate.
It’s not that I have never driven a car. Some people have cars themselves. But how can this be the same? This is the first car produced in the factory!
It's of great significance!
The others were testing the run, and Lin Tao didn't care and went back to the office.
Du Tongshan followed, Lin Tao sat down for Du Tongshan and asked, "Have you calculated it? How much does the cost of a car, plus labor, cost?"
Of course, Du Tongshan could not be a completely technical nerd. He had known that Lin Tao would ask this for a long time and said, "Two thousand. Add artificial, and I have calculated this artificial too much."
Lin Tao thought for a while and said, "Then we... retail sales of 3,500 yuan is not a problem, right?"
Lin Tao remembers it very clearly that electric tricycles in later generations usually look like three or four thousand.
I should be fine if I get the middle price for the first batch of my own.
Du Tongshan hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually... it can be reduced a little. People today, especially those in rural areas, have not that high living standards. If you want to set this price, at least in our Du family village, no one can afford it..."
Lin Tao understood.
Du Tongshan's butt is now sitting on the side of the farmer.
He actually didn't understand that the farmers in Xijiang, at least in Suilai, were not as poor as he thought.
Lin Tao's family is considered medium-sized in the village, but ten years ago, Lin Tao's family bought a tractor. That thing was more than 10,000 yuan at that time!
Maybe I borrowed some, but Lin Tao didn't hear that it seemed like he had delayed the money owed for a long time.
Therefore, a considerable number of farmers in rural areas in the northern part of the Western Front have a low living standards.
However, Du Tongshan still has to give face. Lin Tao thought for a while and said, "Then it is. Our retail is set to be between 3,000 and 3,000. We need to leave a certain profit margin for wholesalers and channel dealers. After all, we cannot sell it ourselves if we produce so many cars, right?"
Du Tongshan still understands this. After all, they are manufacturers. If they do all the production and sales by themselves, the stall will be too big.
So, most of the sales should be left to others!
As a technical supervisor, he only needs to be responsible for technical issues.
I can earn an electric tricycle in one month!
Think about it, Du Tongshan is actually a little enthusiastic. It would be great if he could bring one to his family back!
