Greece’s Roman Road

"At present, the scale of the entire tractor factory is limited by the tractor market, and the operation is bleak. As the manager of the factory, I feel that I have an obligation to find a way out for the factory. At present, the automobile industry is booming throughout Europe and the United States. I think this It's a good opportunity," Andros said.

Constantine asked in surprise: "Andros, you know, tractor factories play an important role in Greece's agriculture, as well as in the military. The crawler tractor that is currently being tested is entering military service, which is just the beginning. Fang will also have a series of orders for your company. I can understand that you, as a factory manager, are eager to find a future for the factory, but you rashly lead the factory into an unfamiliar field. The risk is too great. As I said, what if the production of cars fails, causing huge losses and the factory closes?"

Andros patiently explained his thoughts to Constantine: "His Royal Highness, if the tractor factory will always survive with everyone's support, the disadvantages may outweigh the risks. At present, some employees in the factory, They always feel that the factory is the only large-scale internal combustion engine company in Greece, and it has a strong relationship with the military, and the government’s subsidy policy takes care of it, and they can ask the government for help when they are in trouble.”

Andros put his hands up and said, "His Royal Highness, I'm afraid it's because he has received too much care that it has the opposite effect on the factory."

Constantine pondered what Andros said, and felt that it was indeed reasonable. After all, flowers that live in greenhouses for a long time cannot withstand wind and rain.

After a moment of silence, Constantine said: "You said that the tractor market in Greece is narrow, but the car market will be more spacious, that thing is now a genuine luxury, not a rich person, something that can't be bought at all, As far as I know, the price of a car in Greece is about 4,000 to 5,000 drachmas. At this price, the salary of ordinary Greeks is not enough for three or four years. How many people do you think can afford it?"

The tractor factory was able to operate smoothly. In fact, Constantine was very satisfied. The market of more than 3 million people in Greece could not support a complete automobile industry at all.

The automobile industry includes machinery, materials, metallurgy, chemistry, internal combustion engines, control, automation, electricity, energy, etc., which is a collection of almost all aspects of modern science and technology.

According to the current size and industrial scale of Greece, how to make the Greek auto industry bigger and stronger? Constantine had no self-confidence at all. This is not something that a small country can do.

In the original time and space, even in the 21st century, the well-developed automobile industry is just a few industrial powerhouses.

"His Royal Highness, this is just an attempt. There are definitely risks. Of course, I am not completely unprepared. In the initial stage, I mainly relied on imported parts to assemble cars. The tractor factory is the final assembly factory for cars. Let’s test the market’s reaction. In addition, cars are indeed a luxury in Greece now, but there are a lot of rich people in Greece, and they are still very interested in this kind of toy that does not require horses.”

Many Greek rich people are keen to invest in real estate in Greece, especially the victory of the last war, which makes many Greek businessmen feel proud. Many Greek businessmen doing business on the Eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea coasts returned to Greece to buy Property, especially in places where ysl is the majority, like the Greeks living in Egypt and Syria, presumably because of the cultural differences, Greece is still their spiritual home.

Among them are the new generation of Fanars (Greeks who lived in Constantinople and served for the Sultan), who made bets at both ends, and after accumulating a lot of wealth, transferred them for the safety of wealth. Part of the property to Greece.

After all, as the Ottoman Empire continued to decline, the mainstream society of the Ottoman Empire became less and less friendly to the Fanars and even the Greeks.

For these people, a car of several thousand drachmas is really nothing.

Thinking of this, Constantine thought that maybe Andros' approach could be tried.

Seeing that Constantine's attitude was loosened, Andros continued: "In fact, compared to cars, I am more optimistic about motorcycles. This new type of transportation has much lower technical difficulty than cars, simple structure, and high price. It is also low, and I feel that after mass production, the price will not exceed 1,000 drachmas, and the Greek people can fully afford it.”

"I have done a business investigation. At present, those motorcycle manufacturers in Greece have very poor technical capabilities. They originally produced bicycles. Last time, the government launched together with the support of the tractor industry. These manufacturers with low technical strength have only begun to enter the motorcycle market. Limited by technology, their motorcycles are almost installed with engines on bicycles, and they have no industrial design capabilities at all.”

"Due to the weak technical ability, almost all the important parts of the motorcycles produced by these manufacturers, such as engines and brakes, are completely imported."

"At present, the motorcycles purchased by the government postal department are almost reluctant to use by the postmen. I think this is an opportunity for our factory. According to the strength of our factory, these shoddy industrial wastes can't compete at all," said Andros here. Full of confidence.

After such a chat, Constantine felt that Andros did have a sound idea, and it was relatively safe to operate according to his ideas, but it was not impossible.

"Then, since the factory has decided to enter the automobile and motorcycle market, do you rely on listing to raise the funds you need?" Constantine still asked worriedly.

"Because of the large amount of capital needed~www.novelmt.com~ In addition to listing, there are several investors who are also optimistic about this direction and are willing to inject capital into our factory," Andros replied.

Constantine nodded and thought for a moment, finally made up his mind and encouraged Andros: "Andros, your factory is the only large-scale internal combustion engine company in Greece, whether it is me or the Greek government, I have high expectations for you, and as the manager of this factory, I hope you will be cautious."

Facing Andros, Constantine warned earnestly.

"I'm still saying that, if you have any questions, you can come to me, I'll be happy to help."

"I will say hello to Corridis from the Royal Bank. The 7 million drachma loan can be converted into shares in the factory. As for more specific matters, it is up to you to discuss."

Since Andros decided to try the car and motorcycle market, Constantine simply gave him a hand. If it succeeds, it will be of great help to the industrial development of Greece.

Andros listened to the sincere promise of the Crown Prince, and was deeply touched: "Your Highness, you can rest assured that the reason why I decided to take risks is also quite certain. I am not an impetuous person, even if these two decisions all fail, I also have the confidence to control the amount of losses.”

After getting the permission and support of Constantine, Andros hurriedly left the school grounds and went to the agreed place to find investors to meet.
