At present, Ming Dynasty has two car factories and two truck factories in Beidu and Nandu. Beidu has an annual output of 36,500 cars and 73,000 trucks.
The Nandu factory started production later than the Beidu factory, and its current production capacity can only reach 30% of the Beidu factory's output. Moreover, due to the dense rivers in the south, there are no railways in hinterlands like Huguang and Sichuan.
Cars have become a hot commodity in short supply. Any boss who can afford a truck will use it as the first choice to transport goods and demonstrate the strength of his company.
Daming trucks are divided into heavy trucks and light trucks. The former has a load capacity of two tons and sells for two thousand silver coins. The latter carried one ton and sold for one thousand two hundred silver coins.
Since a sofa is installed in the cab, the driver will not feel uncomfortable when driving for a long time. This is one of the advantages of the truck that is widely praised by drivers.
The cabs of both trucks adopt a four-door front and rear layout, so that while pulling goods, a few more people can be accommodated, making it easier for workers to load and unload goods with the truck.
The carriages at the back are divided into van type, canopy type, and panel type. The van type is the same as the moving company or refrigerated truck. The canopy type is a frame structure covered with rainproof cloth. The panel type has nothing but the most basic baffle to protect the goods.
Prices are also divided into three levels: high, medium and low. Bosses can choose according to their own strength. However, there is only one engine, which can at most allow customers to replace the canvas sofa with a leather sofa.
Unless they drive themselves, few bosses will replace their employees who drive trucks with leather sofas. A canvas sofa is good enough.
Emperor Haojing also believes that the price of trucks is still relatively high in the early stage. As the production gradually increases, the price will drop by about 20 to 30%.
This year, Beidu Automobile Factory will expand its production capacity and strive to achieve the annual production target of nearly 150,000 trucks and more than 70,000 cars.
According to the plan to double production capacity every three years, it is expected that in the year after tomorrow, which is the forty-fifth year of Haojing (1688), the production capacity of Beidu Factory will be close to 450,000 vehicles.
In the forty-ninth year of Haojing (1691), the number reached 900,000. Adding the output of Nandu Factory, it can successfully break through the one million mark.
Emperor Haojing attaches great importance to the automobile project because it is so profitable.
Especially the upper class and businessmen of the Ottoman Empire and the New Inca Empire liked the cars made by the Ming Dynasty very much.
This means that interest groups like them will repeatedly guide Ibrahim and Poirot to use oil and ores to exchange for cars.
Since the road conditions overseas are far worse than those in the Ming Empire, the appearance of the sedan cannot be in line with that of later generations. It is similar to an off-road vehicle. It is nothing more than a sofa installed in the car to make the passengers feel very comfortable.
The chassis must be raised to more than one foot to improve passability. Even if it does not go far, it must be able to ensure that the car can have unimpeded fun in the suburbs.
Emperor Haojing was also pragmatic in choosing imitation models. The two-row, four- and five-seat sedan was the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and the three-row, six-seven-seat sedan was the Toyota Land Cruiser.
The most surprising thing is that large cars and heavy trucks have the same price, and small cars and light trucks have the same price...
As expensive as it is, the sedan's sofa and steering wheel are all made of leather, the dashboard is made of walnut, and there are four umbrellas built into the doors.
The important thing is that the car door is bulletproof. If the murderer shoots or fires arrows from a long distance, the car owner will not die as long as he lies in the car.
This feature caters to the demands of some car owners who care about their lives, so it is very popular.
If you find it too expensive, you can buy a light truck, which can be used to attract people and goods.
Of course nobles who care about face would not do that. Cars have become a status symbol.
The price of trucks and cars exported overseas is usually two to three times higher, and even soars to more than five times in remote areas.
Emperor Haojing believed that this matter had nothing to do with him and that the price was ridiculously high. He could ask the middleman...
As long as it's not snowing or raining heavily, car shops are always busy.
In order to prevent idlers from crowding out the space of customers who want to buy cars, car stores will charge admission tickets.
The adult fare is one copper coin, and one child can be brought for free. Children are not allowed inside without their parents.
This was also allowed by Emperor Haojing, so that a group of melon-eating spectators would not completely block the door.
In order to allow the rich second generation to have a clear target when buying cars, Emperor Haojing also ordered the establishment of a racing track outside the city.
It is open to the public from Monday to Wednesday. As long as you have a car and pay the venue usage fee, you can have fun on the track.
During the period from Thursday to Sunday when it is used by the team, the circuit is only open to the team for the drivers to train and compete.
Last year, the Beidu Class A Racing League was established, with eight teams participating.
Because the audience is particularly curious, the number of spectators in each game is overflowing.
The team has the support of sponsors, tickets, snacks and peripheral products. Naturally, it will not lose money, but will make a fortune.
Many companies see it as profitable. Participating in the competition can build their brand without losing money. It is a year-round advertisement.
So this year it has been expanded to sixteen teams, and four more teams are expected to be added next year, for a total of twenty teams.
Competition cars are cars that are cheaper to use and can be afforded by the team in terms of maintenance and fuel.
The race is to run ten laps around a python-like turning track. The first one to finish the distance is the winner. In the middle, you can enter the pit station to change tires, refuel, and replace parts.
There are different points for the championship and subsequent rankings. Each team can send two people to compete and drive two cars.
Based on the points earned by drivers and teams in each race, the competition has an annual driver championship and an annual team championship.
Do Ming Dynasty audiences like to watch the fastest lap?
No!
This shows that you don’t understand the Ming Dynasty audience’s psychology of watching the excitement!
What do people like to watch the most?
Watch the crash, of course!
Whenever there is a tragic scene of a car crash, there will be boos and applause on the scene.
Of course it's not a big deal to spend money to watch the fun.
The more serious the crash, the more everyone loves to watch it!
If after two cars collided, both drivers in the car were safe, came out angrily, and then struggled with each other, the audience would be even happier...
Racing drivers are usually veterans with bad tempers. If the other party bumps into them intentionally, they will hit them so hard that they cannot finish the race. Of course, they will not wait ten years for revenge. They will take revenge on the spot.
Emperor Haojing had seen the collision when he was watching the race. However, due to the presence of the emperor, the drivers on both sides did not fight and turned into a "friendly conversation."
You can guess the content: I would rather not finish the race at the next stop than knock you away first!
The other party’s answer was: If you have the guts, just give it a try, you’re just rubbish, don’t even think about it again in this life!
The naive and simple Emperor Haojing felt that as long as no one died and no one was disabled, he could drive any bumper car...
Compared to some five-star female drivers, this seems less scary!
For example, Zhang Mou, he used to be a driver, but now he is a mukbang!
Zhang Dazui's real name is Zhang Youcai. "Dazui" was a nickname given to him by his comrades because he was the biggest and could eat.
Because of his burly body, in order to maintain his physical strength, he could eat eight palm-sized buns in one meal, which he called "half full".
If converted into braised pork or mutton-shabu-shabu, you can eat more than three kilograms at a time, without drinks and desserts.
In the autumn, thanks to a rich girl with "high flying skills", Zhang Dazu was involved in a car accident.
It didn't make him lose an arm or a leg, nor did he become a fool. It was just that the nerves in his legs were injured and he would walk lamely in the future, and his legs and feet were not very responsive, which meant that he could no longer be a driver.
The rich girl paid Zhang Dazui five hundred silver coins at once, the two parties reconciled, and the case was settled.
Zhang Dazui also expressed satisfaction with the compensation. As a driver, he could earn eight to ten silver coins every month.
If you can get at least fifty months' salary at a time, you can find an opportunity to do something else, but you can't just sit back and rest.
Others use this word more or less to describe it, but if it is applied to him, it will really make him poor.
It's not like I haven't found a suitable job when I open my mouth, that is, washing dishes, picking vegetables, and chopping in restaurants.
At least if the boss is willing enough, not only can he provide food and accommodation, but he can also earn a net salary.
After Emperor Haojing learned about this incident, Zhang Dazui's life changed for the second time.
Before being appointed, Zhang Dazui had no idea that there was such a good thing in the world...
"A big mouth doesn't talk much. If you want to eat something, tell me! Hello everyone, I have a big mouth!"
The first time I recorded the scene of Hu Chihaise, facing the camera and a bunch of staff, I was still very shy and a little embarrassed with my mouth wide open.
But when he saw delicious food being served one after another, he gradually let go. If the director hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have said a word during the whole process.
"Gourmets! Today I am opening my mouth to explore the store for you! What is a store visit? It is to show you in advance whether the dishes in this store are delicious!"
Opening his mouth, he entered a restaurant in the old city and ordered four dishes, two meat and two vegetarian.
There are not many dishes, but the dishes are large enough.
A braised pork elbow, a beggar's chicken, a plate of cold vegetables, and a plate of shredded potatoes.
There is a half-pound glass bottle of liquor, four bottles of one-pound beer, and a bowl of rice.
With the addition of money and napkins, the props are complete.
If the movie was shot like this, would anyone be able to watch it?
Emperor Haojing believes that the Ming Dynasty is now in a peaceful and prosperous age, and there are many people who are too idle to do anything.
Especially in a place like Beidu, at the feet of the Emperor, there are as many wealthy people as crucian carp crossing the river.
After you are tired of watching love stories and action movies, watching mukbang shows is also good for your physical and mental health.
It tastes delicious to others, but I have no appetite. This is a good contrast!
Just don’t watch this stuff in the middle of the night, it can easily cause adverse consequences...
After completing the recording, a certain fat otaku prince took a sneak peek, and he had only one thought after watching it—fuck! Doesn't this work?
Immediately, a certain fat prince felt that he had not caught up with the good time, otherwise he could have easily appeared on the big screen!
Not good at other things, a certain fat house prince thinks he is very good at eating!
At best, this foodie movie will help educate the heirs to eat well!
In fact, it's like the store lets you eat the Bawang meal with a big mouth, and you have to pay extra because the store name is mentioned.
Drink sponsors also have to pay, and with the box office, the cost can basically be recovered.
One month after its release, the film earned more than 600 silver coins at the box office, plus the sale of 12 copies and various sponsorships, resulting in a total net profit of nearly a thousand silver coins.
It's definitely not as profitable as some action movies. This is just a test of the waters to see what the market's attitude is and the audience's demands.
As long as he didn't lose money, Emperor Haojing allowed him to keep eating with his mouth wide open.
In the first movie, Zhang Dazuo pocketed fifty silver coins, which almost scared him out of his wits.
I didn’t expect that there is a good thing in the world that not only does not have to pay for food, but you can also make money by yourself.
The most important thing is that the shooting time was only one day, and it was nothing more than the director having to tell the scene with the big mouth.
After you become a veteran, you will be familiar with everything and know the general meaning. The rest is for the leading actor to express himself freely.
After the weather gets colder, the store exploration content in the second part will be changed to what Zhang Dazui is best at - mutton shabu-shabu!
There are also certain things to pay attention to when eating mutton-boiled meat. It is best to use a copper pot for hot pot, and the charcoal is best to be made from anthracite coal.
The best mutton is naturally lamb. If you don't have it, you can eat it freshly cut by the chef. Frozen mutton slices are at the bottom.
There are many side dishes, such as enoki mushrooms, lettuce, Chinese cabbage, lettuce, fungus, sweet potato slices, luncheon meat, etc.
You can make your own dipping sauces using the basic dipping sauces provided by the store.
The master gave instructions and opened his mouth to reveal to the audience how to prepare delicious dipping sauces.
Next, it’s time to eat and stuff with your mouth wide open, plus show off your affection.
This time, not only did he continue to act with his mouth wide open, but under the guidance of an expert, he also invited his girlfriend.
How grand it is to cook hot pot and spread dog food at the same time!
There's no way, some viewers just don't like this!
The reason why prawns were not added this time is that seafood shabu-shabu can be a stand-alone program. Similarly, sheep and scorpions can also be a program.
The couple became foodies!
What a great selling point!
Even if they are not a couple, they can eventually become a couple!
Emperor Haojing also trained a mukbang in Penglai, a veteran who was also very good at eating.
There is a lot of seafood there, so the movie can focus on how to cook fresh seafood.
Emperor Haojing didn't worry at all about the guy who was eating the King's meal under the banner of a discount shop, because the cost of the camera was much higher than the cost of the meal.
In addition, a large group of fake staff can only watch but cannot eat, which is equivalent to killing them!
Shooting not only involves cameras, but also lighting, sound, makeup, etc. It is a small project to operate.
The salary for Zhang Da Mou's second movie was still fifty silver coins, because the contract provided to him by the contracting party was to make three movies first to test the waters.
The girlfriend can get twenty silver coins as a reward, which adds up to seventy silver coins. The two of them had a big meal before and made another fortune. The young couple was overjoyed.
Apart from some action movies, have you ever seen any movies starring the two of them?
If you haven’t seen it, you can go and see it!
After the release of the second part, the net profit reached more than 1,600 silver coins, which is a gratifying achievement.
If they can shoot ten movies in a row, this couple will not dare to do anything in the future. Just depositing interest in the bank will be enough to live on.
However, the manufacturer did not agree to do this. After the first film was released, the sales of liquor and beer sponsors increased by about 10%, and the effect was quite obvious.
After seeing how profitable it was, manufacturers of wine and iced tea also came in, so there was a scene where the girlfriend appeared with her mouth wide open.
Emperor Haojing took this opportunity to teach the merchants another lesson.
This is what you have to do to turn dead advertising into living advertising!
