Compared with family cars, trucks and tractors are actually more popular with consumers in the market.

The former is a luxury product that can only consume wealth; the latter is a means of production that can create more wealth.

Wealthy people are not fools, they are more important than others. When doing multiple-choice questions, of course, according to your needs.

Generally speaking, capitalists in cities prefer cars. Because the car can show their noble status and can bring them convenience in the business field.

Okay, this is just an optical illusion. Unless you are going out as a liar and deliberately showing off wealth and fooling people, it may be a bit useful.

In a normal business field, just talk about it. In the face of interests, no one will easily give in.

The real role of the car is probably to be able to fool the employees. Operate in an invisible way of wealth, tell everyone: the boss has money, don't worry.

Buyers of trucks and tractors, except transportation companies, most of the customers come from farmers in the countryside and some nobles.

Farmers really need it. Unlike expensive cars, tractors have been defined as cheap cars since their birth.

It's not Franz's business. In an agricultural country like Austria, after discovering an artifact like a tractor, the Vienna government would have problems if it didn't intervene.

Since 1883, the Vienna government has promulgated a decree exempting tractor manufacturers from tax, encouraging companies to sell to farmers at low prices.

Up to now, there have been many state-owned enterprises involved in the tractor production industry, directly hitting the sales price.

Compared with the high profits of the car, the tractor is really the price of cabbage.

Tractors for pulling goods and cultivating farms can be sold for 200 to 300 Aegis, and a single-purpose 150 Aegis can be bought.

Of course, this is also a penny. Practical value is not low, comfort should not be expected.

In order to reduce production costs, some manufacturers are too lazy to even equip the seats, and consumers also need to install them themselves after buying them.

The pungent smoke, there are harsh ”bursts, bursts, bursts ...” running, if there is a sense of user experience, it is estimated that many people will score zero.

In contrast, the truck can be seen as a modified version of a car. There is nothing more than a car in the rear, and a few more cylinders are added as power.

The comfort is much stronger than the tractor, and it is not as good as the car. The price is somewhere in between.

After all, it is a big man, the technical difficulty of production is much lower, and the cost is slightly lower.

If it is not restricted by traffic, it is estimated that the promotion speed of trucks is much faster than that of cars that are only active in the city or surrounding areas.

Anyway, as soon as the market was launched, it was favored by nobles. Whether it's pulling food from your home, selling vegetables into the city, or taking your family out for hunting, trucks are more worry-free than carriages.

It ’s what the upstarts need to show their status. Since the economic revolution of 1848, the Austrian nobility has been low-key.

Emerging capitalists have replaced their hatred roles, as can be seen in daily newspapers.

Most of the news that exposes social reality, the villains are mostly outbreak capitalists, or the second generation.

In contrast, the proportion of young boys among nobles is much lower. Of course, this may be the social environment, which limits their room for play.

There are many classes for noble children, and one will count as one after adulthood, and will enter the army to polish for a few years.

By the time they retired and returned home, they were not too young. They were no longer middle school teenagers and knew how to use their brains to do things.

In fact, there are not many bad things among the nobles, and all kinds of exotic births are also emerging.

It's just that these people have to care about the reputation of the family. Except for individual idiots, most people know to hide things and not be exposed to the spotlight.

Compared with the old aristocracy, the newly rising military aristocracy has no experience in dealing with this matter.

Many people indulge in power and cannot extricate themselves after taking power. Instead, the troubles are more.

For Franz, these are minor issues.

Things weren't exposed, it was naturally hello, hello everyone, anyway, he emperor would not know.

If the matter is exposed, then one is counted, and it will be dealt with in accordance with Austrian law.

After watching one chicken after another killed, it still worked. I don't know if I was intimidated by the monkeys. Anyway, the remaining chickens were terrified.

With the vigorous development of the automobile industry, around this new industrial chain, many surrounding industries have also benefited.

A series of industries such as steel, machinery manufacturing, petrochemicals, etc. have developed significantly in recent years.

Taking the iron and steel industry as an example, it seems that the current automobile production capacity is not high, and not much steel is consumed every year.

But now the automotive industry needs all steel, or special steel that is widely used in the military, not a pile of scrap iron that needs to be reprocessed.

The customer is God, and there will be service if there is demand in the market. As long as the money is in place, everything is easy to discuss.

There is no legal provision in Austria that military special steel cannot be used for civilian purposes. Before that, no one used it because the price was too high.

It's different now. Low-end cars can't afford these high-tech, but the luxury version must be arranged.

Affected by this good news, in the first half of 1885, Austria's special steel output directly exceeded 50,000 tons, while the special steel production capacity for the whole year of 1880 was only a pitiful 30,000 tons.

...

Economic development has not been smooth sailing, and time hastily passed, and by the end of 1885 trouble had come to the door.
