1902, Rawls started to do automobile business, and his "Rawls Company" soon became one of the most powerful automobile dealers in Britain. But Rolls-Royce has always wanted to associate its name with high-quality cars. It was not until 1904 that he saw the two-cylinder engine car produced by Rice in Manchester and was greatly shocked. This car has a start button, which runs smoothly and makes little noise. It doesn't break down as often as the car at that time. Rawls immediately realized that this was the high-quality car he wanted. He immediately borrowed Les's car to go to London and introduced it to his partner Claude Johnson. They rejoiced in their hearts and thought that Mr. Rice was a mechanical genius that they had discovered would dominate the world.
