????1. 福特汽車公司

????在20世紀初那段無與倫比的創新年代，福特汽車公司（Ford Motor ）開發出流動生產線，把流水線操作工人的薪水提升至5美元/天，使T型車（Model T）憑借低廉的價格走入尋常百姓之家，從而推動了汽車時代的到來。通過不斷改善批量生產方式，福特汽車公司把T型車的價格降至240美元。此外，T型車非常流行，以至于不需要廣告宣傳。福特汽車在海外12個國家生產T型車，使它成為第一款世界車型。111年前，亨利?福特研制出T汽車。如今，由他的子孫管理的福特汽車公司依然是世界第五大汽車制造商。—Alex Taylor III（財富中文網）

????1. Ford

????During a period of unparalleled innovation early in the 20th century, Ford Motor F developed the moving assembly line, raised the wages of the workers who manned it to $5 a day, and made the Model T affordable to millions of buyers, thereby giving birth to the automobile age. By constantly refining its mass-production methods, Ford brought the price of the “T” down to $240, and the car became so popular it required no advertising. The “T” was also built in 12 foreign countries, making it the first world car. Today, Ford is still the world’s fifth-largest automaker, controlled by the descendants of Henry Ford, the inventor who founded it 111 years ago. —Alex Taylor III
