Chapter 68 BMW Hot Sale
With Duval's continuous improvement of the engine, the horsepower of the car engine has reached 8 horsepower and the speed has been greatly improved. Now Qin Ge's BMW has been mass-produced, and some savvy businessmen have noticed the market prospects of BMW.
Qin Ge equipped all military cadres with a car, and scientific researchers and the top management personnel of the factory were equipped with one. Those who could not drive were equipped with drivers, such as Tesla.
After BMW was mass-produced, Anderson asked Qin Ge for one with a slutty face and said a lot of hard work and great contributions. In the end, Qin Ge was so annoyed that Anderson also equipped one.
Charlotte is a wealthy English Jewish businessman with a net worth of more than 100,000 pounds, which he obtained through his own hands.
Charlotte went to Hawaii because of the reports of planes. He was very interested in flying, so he hoped to buy one in Hawaii. However, he had not seen planes flying in the sky for a long time, but he often saw cars running on the road.
As a businessman, Charlotte keenly sensed the market potential of this kind of car. There are cars in the UK, but they are extremely simple and often fail. The engine sounds loudly, and it is not comfortable to sit on it.
After inquiring, Charlotte found the sales department of BMW Automobile. Several cars were placed outside the sales department, and some staff were introducing the superiority of BMW to customers.
Charlotte's receptionist was a young man, an native named Bud. Charlotte asked, "I don't know how much these cars cost?"
"Sir, I think you should first understand what our BMW is asking this question."
"OK."
Bud took Charlotte to a car, then opened the door and made a gesture of asking for help.
Charlotte noticed the way the car door opened and found that the handle of the car door actually had a keyhole, which means that the car door could be locked.
Charlotte got into the car and got into the passenger seat. Bud closed the door and then walked into the driver's seat from the other side.
After fastening the seat belt, Bud instructed Charlotte to wear the seat belt and said, "Sir, you have a hand-crank handle on your right hand. You can shake it and lower the window glass, like this." After Bud said that, he rolled the window on his side.
Charlotte turned the hand handle curiously, and saw that the car window really slowly lowered.
"Oh, this is amazing!" Charlotte couldn't help but praise.
"The better one is still behind." Bud said, he had become accustomed to these people's reactions. No one who sat in BMW for the first time disapproved.
Charlotte looked carefully at the driver's seat and asked, "How does it start?"
Bard took out the key and shook it in front of Charlotte. Charlotte said, "Use the key?"
Bud nodded, inserted the key into an inconspicuous keyhole, and twisted it gently, Charlotte felt a shock in the car body, and then heard the roar of the engine.
"Oh, can the car door be locked too? I just saw the keyhole in the handle of the car door."
"Yes, sir, this is an anti-theft design. As long as there is no key, others will not drive your car."
“This is amazing!”
"Sir, you're ready to sit down." Bud said as he pulled the gear lever and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The sound of the engine suddenly increased, and the car rushed to the road like a shear.
Charlotte was surprised by the sudden acceleration, and closed his eyes with conditioned reflex. When he felt calm, he opened his eyes and found that the scenery outside the window was quickly retreating.
"Bad, how fast is it now?"
“40 km/h, sir.”
"Oh, can you slow down the speed?"
"Okay, sir."
...
All those who have tried BMW cars believe that BMW has a market, with unparalleled speed and humanized design, and this car is definitely worthy of BMW's title.
Although BMW has great market potential, it has not received an order for a single vehicle. It is not willing to be expensive, but because the driver's seat is on the left.
Some businessmen proposed to change the driver's seat to the right, and Qin Ge soon learned about this suggestion. After Qin Ge learned about it, he said depressedly: "I actually forgot the different habits of China and the West."
Qin Ge immediately asked Garner to modify the design and changed the driver's seat to the right. He immediately received a large number of orders. In order to facilitate learning to drive, Qin Ge formulated a driving manual and taught everyone who came to buy a car to learn to drive.
BMW was first sold to the United States. After a series of driving performances by car sellers, BMW quickly sold out.
A BMW sold for 800 pounds in the United States. Most people can’t buy a BMW in their entire lives, so BMW quickly became a symbol of noble and wealthy businessmen.
Europeans had known about BMW through telegrams, so the merchant just had his car transported to the dock and was snapped up by some noble and wealthy merchants who rushed to the news, even though the price in Europe was much higher than that in the United States.
Soon, more merchants began to rush to Hawaii because the car was in short supply and the profit was very good. It cost 600 pounds to buy a car from Hawaii, but after shipment to the United States, the price was 800, and the net profit of each car could reach more than 180 pounds.
Soon, the ministers from various countries came to Qin Ge together, which made Qin Ge jump. Could it be that there were too many soldiers and they wanted to put pressure on me to disarmament? It is unlikely? The military parade was very low-key and said that the 150,000 troops were undeniable, but there was no deterrent power, right?
However, after asking about the situation, Qin Ge breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that they were all coming to Qin Ge to buy cars. They all received telegrams from the country, asking to order a batch of cars as the government's special means of transportation.
It is naturally fine to buy a car, but the production progress can no longer keep up. Although there is some inventory, the driver's seat is on the left, while Europe and the United States like the right-mounted driver's seat, so Qinge's automobile factory started working three shifts and operated continuously for 24 hours.
However, even if the construction starts 24 hours a day, it still cannot meet the needs. So some savvy merchants began to study BMW and found some mechanical engineers to imitate them. For example, the Rothschild family found Gottlieb Daimler and Carl Benz, the inventors of the two cars.
American Henry Ford originally worked under Edison, and he had some research on internal combustion engines. When he saw BMW's hot sales, he left Edison Lighting Company and devoted himself to the automobile manufacturing industry, and finally became an American automobile giant.
