Hunger marketing in 1921 was just as full of routines as hunger marketing in the future.
The $255 Washington car does exist, but you can only get the most basic cheap version. If you want richer configurations and more comfort, you have to pay a higher price.
The silver Washington car in the showroom of the store is the top-end version, priced at US$1,850, which is not much more than the basic version of the Lord car.
Even the most basic and cheap version is quite capable compared to the Ford Model T. Its smooth appearance, surging power, and two rows of chairs in front and back are like big sofas, which makes everyone go crazy.
Americans love sofas extraordinarily. An American doesn’t need to buy a house, but he must buy a sofa. When you visit an American’s home, you don’t need to praise his child for being smart. Praising his sofa for being very comfortable will make the owner happier.
.
Old Tom finally spent $360 to order a red Washington sedan. Although it was slightly over the budget, Washington Auto offered car installment loans, which made Old Tom even regretted the moment he signed.
Alas, if I had known I could get a loan, I should have been more determined to buy that $420 car.
However, the US$360 Washington is enough to meet most of Old Tom's family's daily needs. Although he has to wait until May 1st to get the car, Old Tom was still very happy when he walked out of the Washington store.
Mike Carlisle and Baekeland are also very happy. Throughout April, Washington’s auto orders across the United States totaled 350,000 vehicles. With Washington’s current auto production capacity, it will take about half a year to complete these orders.
This time it’s really not about hunger marketing, but the production really can’t keep up, and it’s imminent to open a new factory.
Rock ignored the sales situation of Washington cars. The negotiations between Ada and Stimson have come to an end. The two sides agreed to strengthen exchanges and cooperation in technology and talents, reduce mutual tariffs, open markets, and grant each other most-favored-nation trade status.
The term "most favored nation" first appeared in the 17th century, and its history can be traced back to the 11th century.
In 1921, the countries that most advocated free trade were the United States and the United Kingdom. However, these two countries only talked loudly, but in fact they implemented trade protection policies based on high tariffs.
Southern Africa is within the Commonwealth and can enjoy the most-favored-nation trade status within the Commonwealth.
Now Southern Africa has reached an agreement with the United States to expand the scope of most-favored nations for trade. This will effectively promote the connection between Southern Africa and the United States, which is a good thing for both parties.
At least southern Africa and the United States feel that they are the big winners in this negotiation.
It’s hard to say who is the big winner. Australia is definitely the loser.
Curzon performed well when he was questioned by Congress, passed the test, and almost became the shortest-lived governor-general.
After returning to Australia, Curzon restrained himself a lot and no longer openly targeted southern Africa, but he still secretly collected evidence that southern African capital had embezzled Australian interests.
On April 10th, Billy Hughes visited Southern Africa and was warmly received by the Southern African federal government.
Although Australia is weak, it is an important part of the Indian Ocean periphery. The federal government of Southern Africa gave Billy Hughes the highest treatment and welcomed his visit with the highest standards.
"A total of 50,000 people welcomed Billy Hughes along the way from the airport to the Palace of Justice. The Governor-General and the Prime Minister personally went to the airport to greet him. At the welcome dinner, Billy Hughes sat between the Governor-General and the Prime Minister. You were really not there.
It's such a pity, even if His Majesty comes to southern Africa, it will probably be like this -" Xiaosi actually didn't go, but he said it as if he was there.
The level of prime minister sounds quite intimidating, but in fact it is of little value to Rock and Stoudemire.
At least not as valuable as Tang En.
As the general manager of an Australian company, Tang En has now become a member of the Western Australian state assembly and is even qualified to run for governor. This time Billy Hughes is visiting Southern Africa, and Tang En is also one of Billy Hughes's entourage.
"What's the situation of the Australian company?" Rock didn't care about Billy Hughes and didn't even attend the welcome dinner. Instead, he hosted a banquet at home for Twain.
"We have discovered a large-scale iron ore in the Pilbara region. The reserves and grades are very high. It may be the largest iron ore in the world. Once developed, it will be enough for us to mine for a hundred years." Tang En was extremely excited. Steel is important to the industry.
The value does not need to be emphasized. Once this news is announced, Australian companies will instantly attract global attention.
"We'll wait until you become governor." Roque was not in a hurry. The iron ore in southern Africa has not been mined yet. Take your time. It won't be a long time anyway.
Although Australian companies have purchased the Pilbara region, if they want to develop iron ore, they will have to pay taxes to the Australian government.
Rock didn't want to pay, at least not now, until Curzon left Australia.
As for Tang En, he has now become an Australian citizen, so he is eligible to become a member of the Western Australian State Assembly.
Roque is planning to let Tang En try to run for governor of Western Australia next year. Once elected, Tang En can amend the laws of Western Australia and formulate game rules that are more beneficial to Australian companies. Only in this way can the energy of Australian companies be reflected.
"Being governor..." Tang En frowned. He had never thought of this possibility. Being a member of the assembly was just trying to catch up.
"Don't want to be?" Rock smiled. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a congressman who doesn't want to be a governor is also not a good congressman.
"No -" Tang En was shy, mainly because he had no experience in this matter.
Besides, being the governor is not that easy. Even if Western Australia is vast and sparsely populated and Australian companies are powerful, it is quite difficult to be the governor.
"Don't worry Tang, go ahead and do it boldly. It doesn't matter if you make a mistake. The worst case scenario is that you can continue to return to the Australian company as the general manager." Stoudemire laughed. Experience is accumulated slowly.
This is the advantage of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade. With the backing of an Australian company, it is difficult to fail.
To put it bluntly, I won’t be the governor, I will always copy my homework.
Look at how Anton became the governor. Tang En can just copy it.
It’s such a simple method, but many people can’t learn it.
There is no way to learn.
The development of Nyasaland is based on the introduction of new immigrants regardless of the consequences.
"It will be easy to be the governor. When the time comes, you can find a few good staff and appoint a few serious and responsible ministers. You can just doze off in the governor's office every day." Roque said easily, not putting too much pressure on Tang En.
Governance by doing nothing is actually a way of governing. It sounds ridiculous to say it. This method sounds lazy, but in fact it performs better than many politicians who are ambitious and want to do big things in office. People really don’t need officials.
So many wonderful ideas.
"Then I'll give it a try -" Tang En firmly believed that the entire state of Western Australia actually only has 300,000 people, and now more than one-tenth of the people work for Australian companies.
So no matter who wants to be governor, he must have good relations with Australian companies, otherwise voters will vote you out with their feet.
The main purpose of Billy Hughes' visit to southern Africa is also to strengthen cooperation with southern Africa.
This cooperation is not limited to the economic category. Billy Hughes also hopes to strengthen military cooperation with southern Africa to further reduce the burden on the Australian government.
After the World War, the Australian government also failed to pay the pensions of retired soldiers in a timely manner. However, unlike the U.S. government, which did not care about it, the Australian government still paid some, including the huge contribution of Australian companies.
During the World War, Australia, with a total population of only 5.5 million, sent nearly 500,000 expeditionary troops to Europe.
As descendants of criminals, Australians were very brave during the war in Europe. The first battle of the Dardanelles saw casualties, including 7,594 killed.
During the entire world war, the 500,000 Anzacs suffered nearly half of the total casualties, which fully proved the bravery of the Anzacs and placed a heavy burden on the post-war Australian government.
The Australian government did not retain troops after the World War, and all the expeditionary forces were disbanded and returned to their respective homes. However, Australia's security needed to be guaranteed. At a time when the British Empire was executing its global strategic contraction, the Royal Navy was unable to provide sufficient protection for Australia. Southern Africa became Australia's
the best choice.
"This is the current situation. Australia does not have enough capabilities to maintain a strong military, but it is facing increasingly severe external threats. If Australia faces war, I hope that Southern Africa can lend a helping hand to Australia." Billy
·Hughes bluntly stated that the ANZAC was under Roque's command during the World War, and Roark should actually be responsible for the losses of the ANZAC.
Of course, it is not all Rock's responsibility. It is not just the Anzac Corps that suffered heavy losses. All the troops participating in the World War suffered heavy losses. The Southern African Expeditionary Force, the Canadian Legion and the Indian Legion——
Hey, what the hell is the Indian Army?
Well, 1.2 million Indian troops died in total during the world war.
Considering the influenza pandemic in the United States, there is no specific statistics on how many of these people died in combat.
The Indian Legion actually participated in very few battles.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Australia and Southern Africa are both Commonwealth countries. It is the duty of Southern Africa to protect the interests of the Commonwealth." Roque did not refuse, and he could not refuse the benefits offered to him.
The external threats Australia faces are actually potential threats, and there are not many real threats.
Australia's request for help from Southern Africa comes at a price. Let's not talk about money. It can always cooperate by providing a military base, building a military port, etc.
After taking care of Australia, Southern Africa's layout around the Indian Ocean has made up for the last shortcoming. From now on, Southern African ships will have unimpeded access around the Indian Ocean, and the United States and the United Kingdom will have to step aside.
