Chapter 61: swept the world
??June 1906, Berlin, Linden Avenue, the headquarters building of the Deutsche Welfare Lottery.
?? People passing by here suddenly discovered that the wall of this building was suddenly covered with black canvas. Many people don't understand why this happens. Someone was very curious about this and went to ask what was going on. However, the result is that everything will be announced soon.
??On June 18th, when people passed by here again, they found that the black canvas had disappeared. In its place was a giant poster. The poster is divided into two parts, the left part is a handsome young man, riding on a mighty motorcycle, giving people the feeling, not to mention how handsome he is. On the left part, there is a blond beauty riding a small motorcycle. The motorcycle is exquisite and cute. After it is painted with red paint, few women can resist such a temptation.
"God! What is that? A motorcycle? How can there be such a handsome motorcycle!" A young man stared at the poster dumbfounded, and he seemed to be going stupid. The only thing he wanted to do was probably Buy one of these motorcycles today.
?? "My God! It's so beautiful and cute. Does anyone know where the motorcycle on the poster is sold? I must buy one." A young lady also exclaimed.
??Many people stopped because of this poster, and there was a lot of discussion about it. Everyone has never seen a motorcycle with this shape before, and they were all shocked.
??The same poster is not only in Berlin. Almost all major cities in Germany have such posters. The lottery tickets of the two motorcycles of Daimler AG were also listed in the betting stations of the German Welfare Lottery Company in various places, so that these two motorcycles were known to all Germans in the first place.
?? At the same time, Daimler also purchased a large space in major newspapers for publicity. The newspaper not only introduced the performance of the two motorcycles, but also introduced the sales time.
?? "Oh my god! How can it be possible that it won't go on sale until a month later? I've already been conquered, and I want to own it now!" A young man scratched his hair, very annoyed.
?? "Damn the manufacturer, can't they be faster? Don't they know that they will go to **** if they tantalize people like this!" A young girl cursed through gritted teeth.
??Daimler's two motorcycles, although not yet on the market, are already well known throughout Germany. Many people who have the desire to buy are counting their fingers to live, looking forward to the early launch of these two motorcycles.
??It took Daimler a month to buy or rent stores in major cities in Germany to sell their motorcycles and future cars. At the same time, it also provides maintenance services for these motorcycles and cars. And this is the prototype of the 4S shop of later generations.
??On July 18, the first batch of 20,000 motorcycles of Daimler AG was put into the market, 10,000 motorcycles for men and 10,000 motorcycles for ladies. The prices of the two motorcycles are 1,500 marks and 1,000 marks respectively. Such a price, in terms of current prices, is undoubtedly very expensive. It takes about two years' salary for an ordinary worker to buy one. But even so, it can't stop their desire to buy.
?? "God! How expensive?" A young man complained.
?? "Idiot, of course the price is not cheap for such a mighty motorcycle. If you don't buy it, get out of the way and don't block the way in front!" said a big man in the back.
?? "Who said I won't buy it? I'm just complaining. Everyone wants to buy such a good motorcycle. If you don't buy it now, you don't know when you will go next time." The young man muttered. He is not an idiot either, knowing that Daimler's motorcycles will definitely be snapped up once they go on the market. If you don't seize this opportunity now, it will be even more difficult to buy in the future.
Sure enough, the 20,000 motorcycles that went on the market this time were all sold out within a day. This not only shocked the executives of Daimler, but also shocked the other motorcycle manufacturers. ground jaw. They never thought that such an expensive Daimler motorcycle would be sold so well. You know, when they learned the price of Daimler motorcycles, they asserted that these two motorcycles would not be sold at all. However, reality gave them a slap in the face.
?? Those who were also shocked were those who were hesitating. After all, such an expensive price is not a small amount for many people. But just when they were hesitating, they were all sold out. While they were shocked, they also regretted it very much. Many people complain that they are not decisive enough. If they can make up their minds to buy immediately, they will not miss this opportunity. The next time I want to buy, I don't know how long I will have to wait. Of course, I don’t know how many people began to write to Daimler, asking them to put in the next batch of motorcycles as soon as possible to satisfy everyone’s desire to buy.
"His Royal Highness, it is too unbelievable. A total of 20,000 motorcycles were sold out in one day. When did the purchasing power of the German people become so strong!" The next day, Paul Dai Muller rushed to Berlin in person to report the sales situation to Qin Tian. You know, the entire Daimler company was shocked by this sales speed.
"Mr. Daimler, this is only the beginning. With the free advertising of those who have bought our motorcycles, our motorcycles will soon be popular all over Germany, Europe, and the world. When the time comes, orders will flow to Daimler like snowflakes. Are you and the company all ready?" Qin Tian asked calmly, as if he was not shocked by the sales figures.
"Your Highness, the whole company is ready. After deducting the 20,000 motorcycles sold, we still have 20,000 motorcycles in stock. After expanding the production scale, we can sell 40,000 motorcycles every month in the future. a motorcycle," said Paul Daimler. In his view, this is already an extremely high output. When the factory was expanded, it was Qin Tian who insisted on upgrading to such a production scale. Otherwise, the monthly production of 20,000 vehicles may be the limit.
?? "Is the monthly production of 40,000 vehicles really enough? Maybe even the demand in Europe can't be met." Qin Tian couldn't help but shook his head.
