It has been one year and eleven months since the automobile manufacturing and R&D center was established.
In the beginning, in the eyes of the talkers from other branches of the Ruan Chamber of Commerce, this inexplicable organization was just a piece of pie created by a liar. After countless years in the business world, no one had ever heard of that thing called a 'car'. So no one knew.
I am optimistic about this investment by brothers Nguyen Van Viet and Nguyen Van Chao.
Besides, the branch in charge of the Chamber of Commerce Minerals has struggled more than once from the past to the present. But none of them succeeded, and there were only failed investments that invested more resources but failed to realize returns.
However, less than two years later, things were completely different.
The most troublesome issue in the past was how to transport the output of the mine. The successive heads of this branch of the family tried to improve mining methods, build roads, etc., and even spent a lot of money to purchase preliminary metallurgical methods from dwarves.
The original ore was turned into metal ingots and then transported. However, a lot of effort was spent, and the improvement effect was quite limited.
But a transport vehicle called a 'truck' can transport a considerable amount of metal ingots without requiring a lot of manpower and animal power. It can also be continuously sent to the holy city of Estali to create more vehicles.
.
At first, this change was not noticed by other people involved in the family separation, because it was a matter of Ruan Van Yue's family separation, and they had nothing to do with it, good or bad.
Moreover, when the harvest season comes every year, the two brothers always ask for help from other branches, hoping that other branch families can let him exchange ore for food to feed the large number of people who mine for him. This is another branch of Ruan Van Yue.
Reasons why I can't hold my head high in front of other family divisions.
Transactions within the chamber of commerce will never be more profitable than selling to outsiders. For other branch families, what they get in exchange is items that need to be processed and processed before they can be used. That is more annoying than useless.
.
But when Ruan Van Yue sent a truck to bring back a large amount of food from the branch families who were also ranked at the bottom of the chamber of commerce, everything changed.
The area managed by the branch at the end of the same line is quite fertile and the food output is quite gratifying. It is a newly developed land. The disadvantage is that it is quite far from the densely populated area, which means that they have to transport the food.
It takes longer to find a buyer.
Moreover, newly developed land also means that there are many undeveloped natural environments around it. If it were on Earth, environmentalists would definitely jump out and call for protection. But in Lost Land, this means that there are many human-eating dangers from nature. So this
If the branch family wants to safely transport food to other places, it can only send more guards.
More manpower means more consumption during transportation. After all, people or animals also need to eat, and it is impossible to let them have an empty stomach, transport things, and deal with the dangers encountered during transportation. Usually
By the time the food was delivered to its destination, not even one out of ten was left.
However, food prices have their upper limit after all. Buyers cannot allow sellers to offer unacceptable prices for various reasons. Unless the market is monopolized, or there is a famine or food disaster, it is possible to allow sellers to shout prices and buy
The family can only swallow hard. In fact, the Ruan Chamber of Commerce is quite large, and among the customers they come into contact with, there are no customers who can only buy enough food from far away.
This means that not only is this branch likely to lose money every time it sells grain to a distant place, but even buyers may not necessarily buy it. Things like grain are not handled properly, or there are defects during transportation.
It will go bad. The buyer will also doubt whether the food shipped from too far away is still edible.
Later, this branch family would rather let the grain rot in the fields as compost than use up manpower to harvest it all. Because within the range of grain sales they could accept, the purchasing power of buyers was far less than their output. This is
At that time, Ruan Wenyue came to trade with real gold and silver, and also stated that they would figure out how to transport it themselves. How could the branch family, who are also relatives, not agree.
When trucks join the ranks of transporting grain, things are completely different from what everyone imagined. How much is shipped and when it will arrive. By using forums to communicate, this information can easily be learned by other people within the chamber of commerce.
Of course, truck transportation will not be completely cost-free, but compared to the traditional method of transporting goods, the consumption is completely different. Because fewer people are needed for transportation, the time consumption is much shorter.
The Ruan Chamber of Commerce has its own method of calculating accounts. The profit and cost are also clear to those who understand. Compared with the traditional transportation method, the transportation using trucks represents a broader market hinterland.
and cheaper transportation costs.
Which businessman wouldn't pursue things that can reduce costs and increase profits. In today's world, don't talk about keeping secrets. Especially since everyone is a family, even if they don't deliberately pry, some people will proudly show off their achievements everywhere.
So without much effort, everyone knew the key.
Cars. Or to be more precise - trucks.
The matter didn't stop there. Brother Nguyen Van Viet also said loudly that the Automobile Center was developing vehicles for agricultural use. Then he mentioned a bunch of unexplained conditions and drew a picture that no one had ever seen. Although most people
I still don’t understand it, but everyone knows one thing about the separation of families. This time it really made these two brothers stand up!
Since there is profit to be made, as members of the Ruan Chamber of Commerce and the family, everyone will of course think about how they can get a share of the pie.
Some people choose to get close and cooperate. But some people choose a different path, that is, to seize it all. The branch family that the two brothers belong to has always been looked down upon.
Even if they have a chance to turn around today, the project they are running is not the most important food for the family. In the perception of the older generation with relatively rigid ideas, the status of Ruan Wenyue and his family will not be much higher no matter how they are improved.
Therefore, in this annual meeting during the off-farm period, although the focus should be on the exchange of information between branches - although this function has now been replaced by forums, some people still like to fight face to face - and the exchange of agricultural products.
Yes or no. In fact, there are several undercurrents connected with each other under the table.
As the center of the storm, Brother Nguyen Van Yue will of course hear some rumors. Some of them come from the branch families who hope to have a good relationship with them, some are from the hidden stakes they have laid, and some even come from the branch families who have intentions.
, the news they took the initiative to release.
In the past, such signs would be regarded as a crisis. All kinds of benefits would be promised immediately, hoping to get the support of other branch families to tide them over. Or they could directly put pressure on those companies.
, hoping to find a way out in exchange.
But today, the two brothers are not too worried. They also repay the same kindness to all those who show kindness, but that's it. They don't deliberately contact any party, nor do they ask those greedy relatives
Lowering his head. The two brothers Ruan Van Yue and Ruan Van Chao just chatted with every relative who came to the door and expressed interest in the truck and answered their doubts.
