Chapter 60: Top products (for collection)
"Your Highness, who made these two motorcycles?" William Maybach asked. At Daimler, he has always been responsible for the research and development of new products, and his vision is much more precise.
"These two motorcycles were designed by me." Qin Tian said brazenly. Anyway, he plagiarized the designs of later generations not once or twice, and his face has been tempered long ago.
And this, naturally also attracted the praise of William Maybach and Paul Daimler.
"You two, these two motorcycles are civilian motorcycles, mainly for the civilian market. Here, there are also two military motorcycles. After civilian motorcycles are put on the market, military motorcycles should be developed as soon as possible. I think our army is also in urgent need of such high-mobility vehicles." Qin Tian once again took out a design drawing from the suitcase. On this design drawing, there are two different motorcycles. Compared with the previous civilian version of motorcycles, military motorcycles are undoubtedly much thicker. Although the style is not so beautiful, it looks a lot more solid. But for military things, appearance has never been the direction of pursuit, performance and reliability are the ones that need to be paid special attention to.
One is a two-wheeled motorcycle that can take two people, and the other is a three-wheeled motorcycle with a sidecar.
"Will the military purchase military motorcycles?" Paul Daimler hesitated. After all, the military does not purchase many of these motor vehicles now.
"As long as it has excellent performance, I think the military will be willing to purchase it. Of course, we may not make much profit on military motorcycles. You must be mentally prepared for this." Qin Tian prepared them in advance. Needle.
Paul Daimler and William Maybach both nodded, Qin Tian's identity is decided, he can't make much money from the military, otherwise, others will gossip. Even, they will provide these things to the military at a loss. But it's also a huge boost for the product itself, if the military can buy it. At that time, sales will definitely increase further. Profits can naturally be obtained from other places.
"Can the two civilian motorcycles be developed within three months?" Qin Tian asked.
"Your Highness, it will not take three months at all. Since the engine is provided by the German Engine Manufacturing Company, we just need to seize the time to overcome other difficulties. In a month at most, we can complete the research and development and produce Samples." William Maybach promised.
"His Royal Highness, I think we can increase the production line and recruit workers in advance. After completing the research and development, we can immediately put into production. I'm sure the whole market will go crazy because of this." Paul Daim Le was very excited. He seemed to have seen the scene where the motorcycles they produced caused a frenzy of sales in the market.
"Well, we can make preparations for expanding production first, so as not to be in a hurry." Qin Tian nodded. Once the two types of motorcycles for civilian use are withdrawn, they will inevitably be in short supply. At that time, the more motorcycles produced, the more profits can be made. Qin Tian bought Daimler AG not to lose money, but to make money. Although the Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company makes money very quickly, as the stalls spread more and more, there are more and more places to use the money. Especially once the arms race starts, if Germany can't catch up with the British, it is impossible for Qin Tian to stand idly by. At that time, he will definitely contribute money and efforts to help Germany. Trying my best to earn more money now is also to prepare for the next step.
"Okay, Your Highness. I will start to do this tomorrow." Paul Daimler is full of energy. He even saw the day when Daimler surpassed Mercedes-Benz in the field of motor vehicle manufacturing. That's what his late father wanted to see.
"Then, the launch of the two civilian motorcycles will be three months away! After two months, I will start placing advertisements in major newspapers to promote them, and strive to become a hit." Qin Tian said.
This is the first product he launched after acquiring Daimler, so he naturally hopes to be a big success in the market.
"Yes, Your Highness." Paul? Daimler and William? Maybach nodded again and again. Although, their shares in the new company are already very small. But if the motorcycle can be successful, even if they only have 5% of the shares, they will be able to share huge profits.
After acquiring Daimler AG and making arrangements for the company's future development, Qin Tian left Stuttgart and returned to Berlin without staying there any longer.
Deutsche Energy Company has already started operation, and Moritz sent a special person to the United States to purchase oil. At the same time, construction of a large oil refinery and oil storage facility was started in Rostock in northern Germany.
Only three weeks later, Daimler completed the research and development of two civilian motorcycles. Qin Tian rushed to Stuttgart again to inspect and accept the two civilian motorcycles.
Steel body, rubber tires, shock absorbing springs, etc., make these two motorcycles look the same as the motorcycles of later generations. However, due to technical limitations, it is still unable to compare with the motorcycles of later generations in terms of performance. However, compared to the current motorcycles on the market, I don't know how many times better. It can be said that in comparison, those motorcycles on the market are simply rubbish.
"It's so beautiful, Your Royal Highness, this is clearly a work of art. I can't wait to own these two motorcycles. The men's version of the motorcycle, I guess every man wants to own it. And the women's version of the motorcycle, It will also become the favorite of those ladies." Carl von Jonareit, who came with Qin Tian, was full of admiration.
"Well, I think men and women throughout the German Empire and even the world will be crazy about it." Qin Tian said with satisfaction.
"Your Highness, from now on, we will do our best to produce these two motorcycles. We will strive to launch more products when they go on the market." Paul Daimler said.
"Well, let's do it like this! This time, we will definitely cause a sales frenzy again." Qin Tian is very confident about these two civilian motorcycles. Daimler will therefore take the lead in this field. This will promote the research and launch of a series of new products in the future.
