Chapter 104: crown prince salesman
In less than a week, the high-level executives and famous entrepreneurs of the entire empire received gifts from Qin Tian. They were very satisfied with the Daimler Class B car presented by Qin Tian. This is undoubtedly much better than the car they rode in before.
At the same time, these people have a great demand for cars, and one car can't satisfy them at all. For example, buying for your family members. Or purchase in batches to become a department or company's car.
It's just that Daimler's B-class car is not yet on sale, so they have to wait a little longer. And this also makes, although the Daimler B-class car has not yet been launched, many people are already looking forward to it. Anyone with a little wealth probably hopes to buy a car like this, and it will save face if they drive it out!
"Your Highness, the ministers of all ministries are very satisfied with the cars you donated to the government. The government has decided to purchase a batch of official vehicles for the government. In terms of price, please give us more discounts!" A meeting before the imperial court ended Finally, the prime minister of the empire, Bernhard von Bülow, held Qin Tian back and said to him with a smile.
Foreign Minister von Kidren Wacht also watched all this with a smile.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, there is no problem at all. How much does the government need to purchase? I will ask Daimler to give you a 10% discount. In addition, I will give priority to supplying to you." Qin Tian couldn't help being overjoyed. Once the government uses Daimler's B-class cars as designated vehicles, governments at all levels will compete to imitate them. The government procurement alone is enough to make Daimler work overtime in production.
"In that case, it would be great." Prime Minister Bernhard von Bülow nodded in satisfaction.
January 1st is fast approaching, although Daimler AG is preparing 10,000 Daimler B-Class cars for it. However, what made them unbelievable was that all the 10,000 Daimler B-class cars were sold out within one day. The central government of the empire alone, the governments of the states, and the governments of the kingdoms eat up half of it. The remaining half was also snatched up by those big businessmen. And, many people haven't bought it yet. Orders drifted to Daimler AG like snowflakes, which surprised and delighted the general manager of the company, Paul Daimler.
The good news is that these orders mean huge profits. Daimler Motors only needs to desperately expand its production capacity, and there is no need to worry about the cars produced not being sold. What is surprising is that according to the total amount of these orders, Daimler's production may really need to be expanded to 50,000 vehicles per month. After all, the current orders are only from the domestic market. Once it expands to foreign markets, there will be more orders.
What's more, this is only a B-class car. Once the lower-priced C-class car also interviews, the sales will definitely be even hotter. If you don't speed up the expansion of the company's production capacity, there will be no way to deal with it at that time!
Paul Daimler immediately accelerated the construction of the new factory building after consulting Qintian, and has already begun to actively plan to build a large-scale automobile factory in northern Germany in order to satisfy the northern market. The booming sales have made Paul Daimler no longer have to worry that the cars produced will not be sold. We don't know how long this situation will last.
While sales of Daimler’s B-class vehicles are booming, Qin Tian is promoting Daimler’s Maybach trucks to the army and navy. Now Qin Tian has completely become a salesman, frantically selling his company's products to the military.
Of course, Qin Tian did this not just to make a profit. What's more, it is hoped that with these products, the strength of the military will be further strengthened. In Qin Tian's view, making money is very important. However, to win future wars, that is always the first priority. The current Qin Tian is trying to do everything possible to improve the strength of the army, no matter whether it is hard power or soft power, it must be raised to the highest level before the war breaks out. In that case, Germany will be more likely to win in future wars.
"Everyone, this is the latest product of Daimler Motor Company. This truck can travel at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour with a load of 1.5 tons. At the same time, it can also tow a cannon This also means that this car can carry a squad of fully armed soldiers and rush to the battlefield quickly. Although the railway network in Germany is very dense, through convenient railways, we can quickly transport troops and mobilize war Materials. However, once we break out of the border and enter the enemy's territory, then everything may be different. Western Europe is okay, and the infrastructure here is relatively good. However, the vast Eastern European plains are worse. The infrastructure construction there is very bad. Once we invade there, the supply and transportation of the troops alone will be a disaster. If our army can equip enough trucks, it will undoubtedly alleviate this problem very well. "Qin Tian introduced to these generals with a smile on his face.
"It's really good to be able to carry a squad of soldiers at a speed of 40 kilometers." Deputy Chief of Staff General Waldsee nodded. Now the logistics transportation of the German Army mainly relies on railways when it is in the country. However, once you leave the country, you may have to rely on a horse-drawn carriage. This forced the German Army to raise a large number of poor horses. If trucks can be used to replace these mules and horses, it will undoubtedly save a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.
"His Royal Highness, how reliable is this truck?" Xiao Moqi asked.
"Your Excellency, Chief of the General Staff, the reliability of this heavy-duty truck is relatively high. I can't guarantee that there will be no problems at all, but there will be no major problems. At most, there will be some small problems that can be easily solved." Qin Tian said .
"If one of our infantry divisions can be equipped with one hundred or two hundred of these trucks, it can almost meet the consumption of an infantry division. Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, what do you think?" General Waldsee asked.
"It is very good, but the current military expenditure is very tight." It is obviously impossible for Xiao Moqi to nod so easily.
"His Royal Highness, do you know the price of this truck?" General Waldsee asked.
"The market price will be 8,000 marks. However, I can give the military a discount. You only need to buy it at 6,500 marks each." Qin Tian said with a smile.
