Greece’s Roman Road

Dimitrios looked at Andros, who was silent, thinking he lacked confidence and was worried about the risks in the auto industry, and encouraged: "Take the famous Krupp family in Germany, which produces Krupp cannons are famous for their excellent performance and are well-known internationally. From Japan, the Qing Dynasty, Russia, to the United States in the New World, the armies of various countries are all fans of Krupp cannons. The dignitaries became the guests of the Krupp family, including such bigwigs as the Russian Tsar," Dimitrios said in a bewitching tone.

"However, going forward a few decades, the Krupp family is just a blacksmith shop in Essen, and all their property is three thatched huts, because of the manufacture of high-performance breech steel guns, with the Franco-Prussian War. The victory of "an instant hit", the wealth of the Krupp family is rolling in, I think the car is another window of wealth, and we must seize it," Dimitrios said enthusiastically.

As a car enthusiast, Dimitrios has an adventurous fanatical nature in his bones.

"Speaking of which, tractor trucks can be seen everywhere on the roads of Greece now," Avilov interjected.

This caught the attention of several people, and Andros asked, "What tractor truck?"

"On the roads of Greece now, some tractor-modified trucks are often seen, that is, a two-wheel or four-wheel bucket is hung behind the tractor body, which is used to hold goods, and there is no problem with the load of two or three tons." Avilov explained.

"Those tractors seem to be produced by your factory. Because of this, I think the automotive industry has a promising future. This new type of transportation is indeed useful in social production and life."

"So, Andros, you really intend to enter the auto market. In addition to direct investment in factories, I can also help you raise funds for your factories to go public, if you need them," Avilov said to Andros.

Seeing that several prospective investors have expressed their willingness to invest in the auto industry, Andros lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said to them: "That's what I plan to do. In the early stage, when the market is still unclear, we should be more secure. The technical requirements of motorcycles are relatively simple, and the sales price is relatively cheap. The audience in Greece is relatively large, and in terms of production, the capital required is less, and the factory will give priority to entering the motorcycle field.”

"Moreover, there are already some workshops that originally produced bicycles to test the motorcycle market. Both the government and the Greek people have a high degree of acceptance of motorcycles. According to the strength of our factories, these manufacturers have scarce capital and poor technology. , the competitiveness is limited, it is definitely not our opponent"

"In the field of automobiles, although Model Ts are now selling well in the United States and their performance is very advanced, it is best not to be too aggressive when the prospect of the Greek auto market is uncertain. After all, Greece is not as rich as the United States. What people admire, Greeks may not like.” Andros revealed his plans to several prospective investors and investors.

While a few people were eagerly discussing the future blueprint for a tractor factory, someone suddenly interjected: "I don't think it's necessary to be so conservative. Let's make great strides in the automotive industry. This is an industry with unlimited prospects."

The four Andros, who were gathered together, looked at the stranger who suddenly joined, and saw him dressed in a typical businessman's attire, with a large black coat, a small brown vest inside, a bowler hat on his head, and a civilization in his hands. Zhan, wearing a pair of golden glasses, fair skin, ruddy complexion.

Andros looked at the visitor in surprise and said, "Mr. Yakov? Why are you here? Haven't you been in Ferry, Albania for the past few years?"

The person who came was the manager of the Purple Robe Foundation appointed by Constantine, Yakov, a Jew.

"I also just returned to Athens by train from Ferry today. I heard from Crown Prince Constantine that you plan to enter the automobile industry, so I hurried to find you." While speaking, the waiter took Yakov's hand Hat, cane, and coat, and Yakov sat next to the crowd.

The Zipao Foundation managed by Yakov is the largest shareholder of the Greek oil company. After the establishment of the Zipao Foundation, there is no other investment project that needs to be organized by Yakov. Since the oilfield development in Ferry City has been on the right track , Yakov simply lived in Ferry all year round.

Andros' tractor factory is the only large-scale internal combustion engine company in Greece at present. The gasoline sales of Greek Petroleum Corporation are closely linked to the tractor factory to a large extent, and the two companies are at stake.

At present, the sales of gasoline and diesel in Greece's petroleum products, in addition to kerosene and heavy oil, have been unsatisfactory.

Kerosene can be used for lighting. Although Greece has promoted the application of electricity on a large scale, due to too many mountains, there are still some remote areas that cannot be connected to the power grid. These areas are the places where Greek oil companies sell kerosene.

The rest of the kerosene was directly loaded in the port of Vlora and exported to Italy on the other side of the Adriatic Sea.

As for heavy oil, it is mainly used in ships. Coal sprayed with heavy oil burning in kerosene co-firing boilers provides power for ships.

In order to promote heavy oil, an important by-product of petroleum refining, and reduce the import of coal, Hellenic Petroleum Corporation has been selling heavy oil at low prices for long-term interests, just to encourage Greek shipowners to switch to kerosene co-firing boilers, for Hellenic Petroleum Corporation of heavy oil provides a long-term market.

At present, the sales of kerosene and heavy oil of Greek oil companies are not bad, but the sales of gasoline are not ideal.

Although the people of Greece already have thousands of tractors using gasoline, the use of tractors has a strong seasonality. During the busy agricultural season, when tractors enter the busy season, the gasoline of the Greek Petroleum Company is only sold. However, except for the busy agricultural season At other times of the period, gasoline was nowhere to be found.

Moreover, the gasoline consumed by such thousands of tractors is insignificant compared to the current annual output of the Greek Petroleum Company of about 20,000 tons of gasoline.

As one of the main by-products of petroleum refining, the sales volume of gasoline in Greece has always been unsatisfactory. However, the distillation method currently used in petroleum refining has an oil yield of about 20%. Currently, the oil field in Ferry can produce oil every year The crude oil is 120,000 tons, and the refined gasoline is about 20,000 tons. The output is very impressive.

The Greek oil company is very distressed about this. Because gasoline is highly volatile, it is easy to cause explosions. This situation makes gasoline very tasteless. It is a pity to throw it away. It is more than 20,000 tons. It is very dangerous to store such a large output. Several explosions have occurred in the warehouses of Greek oil companies over the past few years, mostly related to the volatilization of gasoline.

Originally, Yakov was reporting to Constantine about the oil company and the Zipao Foundation’s income. Yakov complained to Constantine about the trouble with gasoline~www.novelmt.com~ Constantine smiled and said to Yakov , maybe it won't be long before he will dislike the production of gasoline too little.

Then he revealed to Yakov that Andros' tractor factory had plans to enter the auto industry.

Yakov has been dealing with oil for several years, and he is considered a veteran in the oil industry. Before automobiles appeared on a large scale, gasoline was always a headache for oil practitioners.

The biggest role of oil is to extract kerosene and burn lighting. As for gasoline, it is easy to cause an explosion when mixed in kerosene.

But Lenovo's recent boom in the U.S. auto industry has made gasoline, a previously unloved commodity, suddenly a lucrative commodity in the U.S.

The American oil king, Rockefeller, was very enthusiastic in supporting the promotion of automobiles.

Andros' intention to enter the auto industry is also good news for Greek oil companies, so much gasoline production is finally useful.

So Yakov enthusiastically came to participate in the auto investment negotiation after asking Constantine where Andros was going.

"We, the Zipao Foundation, can also count as a share to help your factory enter the auto industry as soon as possible. The Zipao Foundation can invest 7 million drachma, and the requirements are very simple. You can start the car production line as soon as possible. Gasoline," Yakov said.
