Chapter 729 Business Genius from the Kingdom
A strange-style "Three Bingzi" is certainly not enough to impress the stubborn but cunning old man with a white-haired man. If he hadn't been unable to let go, Luo Luo, a company with the most perfect powertrain design factory in the entire Dark Yuan Empire, had long been working hard to develop the private market, and Liu Lang would not have used this strange creativity to catalyze it.
Even the stubborn old man with white hair is already very moved. He actually knows very well that the reason why Luo Luo Company stubbornly sticks to higher-end military products is actually related to the current economy of the Dark Yuan Empire or the entire Xizhou.
Due to the sudden economic crisis of the White Eagle Kingdom a few years ago, the Xizhou continent did not escape. The entire economic recession lasted for more than ten years. Although the upper class nobles still enjoyed the glory left by their ancestors, the entire lower class people were economically stretched and the unemployment rate has repeatedly reached new highs.
The Rolls-Royce Company has been living on a loan everywhere and is still not optimistic about the civilian market. There is also this reason. What is even more terrifying is that if the Rolls-Royce Company eventually goes bankrupt, nearly 10,000 workers will be unemployed, which will be another huge impact on the entire Dark Yuan Empire society...
Now it seems that developing a lower-end rural market may be another way out for Rolls and Rolls. Almost in his heart, Henry has recognized Liu Lang's suggestion, but Liu Lang's 15% stake was too high.
Even the Henry family, from 51% of the shares in the early days of establishing the Rolls-Royce Company, has now been diluted to 30% after several rounds of financing. If the so-called Kingdom Consortium in the young people hopes to obtain 15% again, the Henry family's voice in the Rolls-Royce Company will not only be reduced again, but the Kingdom Consortium may become the third largest shareholder in one fell swoop. This is really too dangerous for the Rolls-Royce Company, which has mastered the powertrain technology of the Dark Yuan Empire Navy and Air Force.
The Imperial Cabinet may not agree to such an acquisition.
"In addition to being able to promote the Sanbengzi to use in rural areas, we cannot give up on urban customers. For cities, we can develop SUVs, that is, multi-functional passenger cars, with a high territorial and large space, and are definitely a good helper for household use; there are also pickup trucks that can pick up goods and carry people. Even if they are nobles, they will not refuse such practical vehicles." Liu Lang threw down another bombshell in front of the white-haired old man who was still hesitant.
The SUV model painted on paper is definitely an epoch-making product in this era. For the president of his own automobile manufacturing plant, this epoch-making product is definitely a design that is popular among the general public.
As Liu Lang said, SUVs that are compatible with the comfort of a sedan, with a higher territory and larger space can definitely become the darling of urban residents.
Compared with the first two, pickup trucks are not new. They appeared in the White Eagle Kingdom ten years ago and have long become a car design that has become popular in the North continent. However, after the two vehicle designs appeared, pickup trucks were used as a buffer. Rolls-Royce's company went from high-end sedans to SUVs to lower-grade pickup trucks to the lowest-grade Sanbengzi, which can be said to completely cover all passenger car markets.
The most amazing thing is that with such a clear product structure, who would pay attention to and mock the always-high-end Luoluo Company for making low-end things like "Sanbengzi"? That means that Luoluo Company has comprehensive technology and wide product coverage.
At this moment, the old white-haired man was only a little short of agreeing to Liu Lang's request, and his eyes were completely different when he looked at Liu Lang. If the idea of proposing the design of the three-bangzi and using the so-called car model to attract attention was just a young man with a bit of a crooked talent in his eyes, but now, he is definitely a sales genius.
But Liu Lang surprised him more than that.
"I also know that the economic situation of the Dark Yuan Empire or the entire Western Ocean is not very good now. Many people may want to buy cars but cannot afford them, but it doesn't matter. We can let customers pay in installments!" Liu Lang threw down the last bombshell.
"How to pay in installments?" The old man with white hair felt that the new term he heard today was definitely the one he heard the most in his life.
"Customers can pay a very small down payment, and the remaining balance can be divided into three or five years to return monthly. For example, a multi-function passenger car, please note that it is not the kind of luxury sedan that your brother and his partner Mr. Lawrence advocated, which sells for more than 2,000 yuan, and the price is tentatively set to 600 yuan. The annual income of an ordinary Dark Yuan Empire may be only 500 yuan, so he will definitely not be able to afford it. It is easy to deal with. He only needs to pay a down payment of 200 yuan. The remaining 400 yuan will be paid in 36 months, plus about 6% of the annual interest rate. He only needs to pay thirteen yuan a month." Liu Lang patiently explained to the white-haired old man this installment payment method that comes from the future.
The old man with white hair was completely stunned. Liu Lang is no longer a sales genius, but a business genius. He can drive a car that is already well-known in Xizhou or even Beizhou for 300 yuan. This is definitely a huge temptation for the majority of urban residents, and the dozens per month are not unbearable for most people.
The white-haired old man has even imagined how huge the purchasing power of the All Dark Yuan Empire or the All Xizhou will be once this installment payment method is implemented. If the production factory is not expanded in advance to expand its productivity, the orders flying in like snow can make people wait for a year.
"However, Rolls and Rolls can no longer afford to advance the funds. Not to mention a thousand vehicles, even a hundred vehicles are difficult." Faced with such a huge cake of temptation, the white-haired old man could only say dejectedly.
"Of course, the Luoluo Company will not be used to advance payment. The overseas branch of the Kingdom Merchant Group will bear the expenses, but the Dark Yuan Imperial Bank needs to provide credit guarantees for the people. However, the profits generated by the annual interest will only be shared by the bank and the Merchant Group, and the matter will be ignored by the Luoluo Company." Liu Lang replied confidently about the concerns of the white-haired old man.

Liu Lang is of course confident that as long as the sulfonamide drug is listed in Xizhou, the profits of Xizhou alone will be enough to pay for this huge loan to the people of the Dark Yuan Empire. Liu Lang does not care about the profit value of 6% of the annual interest rate. His purpose is to use this to impress the shareholders of the entire Rolls-Royce Company and enter this company with the highest aero engine technology in the future.
Even if he pays the profits of the sales of sulfa drugs in the entire Western Region, Liu Lang is willing to do anything. Even if Liu Lang knows that in more than four years, Britain and France, who have watched Poland be destroyed by the King of Zhouhui, would be forced to participate in the war, and tens of thousands of civilians in the Dark Yuan Empire would die in this war, and many loans would become dead accounts. But what Liu Lang wants now is not money, but the future of the kingdom.
What's more, it is not comparable to the hundreds of thousands or even millions of people that the entire Dark Yuan Empire owes the merchant group a huge favor.
"Young man, I have to say that you touched me, but my bottom line is 7% of the shares. Otherwise, I would not be able to explain to the Henry family, nor could I agree with the Cabinet Minister of Finance, Navy and Air Force, and even Her Majesty the Queen." The old man with white hair took a deep breath and spoke directly about his bottom line.
Liu Lang's genius vision completely moved Henry. At this time, President Henry might not have thought that he was only considering over the difficulties. This young man from the East not only allowed Rolls and Rolls to overcome the difficulties of three years, but also gave Rolls and Rolls to sufficient funds to restart the air-cooling test three years ahead of the play, increasing the horsepower of the famous engine by 10%, completely suppressing his lifelong enemy, Zhou Huiguo, and making Spitfire the most cheerful fighter in the early stages of the war, and also pushed Rolls and Rolls to the peak of global aero engine manufacturing.
With a little nervousness, Henry may never have expected that he would have such expectations for a young man from a backward kingdom. He was not expecting him to agree, but expecting him not to speak too much when he bargained. His real bottom line was nine percent of the shares, which was already the limit that the entire Henry family could bear. Otherwise, they would have a very likely loss of control over the company. That was definitely not what his brother, who had just passed away, was willing to see in heaven.
"Okay, then 7%." Liu Lang agreed immediately.
The president of Rolls and Rolls was excited to reach the deal but was still a little depressed. Why didn’t he bargain? Could it be that he was too high to open the offer?
