#159 - Audi sales surge

In just a few days, the sales orders for the Audi A4 directly increased by more than 100,000 units, officially surpassing 500,000 units in total sales orders.

Compared to Audi, other car brands were in a tragic state. Not only were many customers who had already placed orders clamoring to cancel, but even the number of customers visiting dealerships to look at cars dwindled.

For a time, the desolation of these car brands' 4S stores could not be described with mere words.

While domestic consumers were frantically pre-ordering the Audi A4, foreign consumers were extremely envious, as they wanted it too!

Unfortunately, they didn't know how long it would take for the Audi A4 to be launched in their regions, which filled them with complaints, questioning why they were being treated differently.

They had been eagerly waiting, but Audi remained inactive.

Therefore, many envious and jealous consumers began to form groups to leave messages and petitions on the Audi official website, strongly demanding that Audi launch in their regions.

For a time, Audi's official website was flooded with messages from a large number of foreign netizens, and Lu Haifeng received the news immediately.

This made him both amused and exasperated. When did the usually aloof foreign consumers become so eager to support his products?

It was the first time Lu Haifeng had seen such a situation, where a product actually made them collectively petition. It seemed that foreign consumers were quite susceptible.

Faced with so many messages, Lu Haifeng naturally couldn't remain indifferent. These were consumers, after all.

Consumers should naturally be treated politely. As long as they were happy, wouldn't they all become his source of profit?

Therefore, Lu Haifeng immediately had someone release a message about Audi recruiting distributors abroad.

What harm was there in making these lovely foreign consumers happy? After they were happy, wouldn't they all come into his bowl?

Besides, he was already planning to enter the international market after the completion of Audi Phase III. Letting them enjoy themselves in advance wouldn't affect his plan at all.

Now, the foreign netizens were immediately delighted. Audi actually stood up and responded, making them feel that they had won.

In their view, it was because of their strong demands that Audi had to compromise and enter the international market.

Otherwise, they might have had to wait indefinitely. They felt extremely proud of this and had even more goodwill towards Audi.

"Haha, Audi actually responded. It seems our efforts were not in vain."

"That's right, this is all the result of our strong demands."

"I have to say, Audi is quite friendly to us foreign netizens."

"Before, I was thinking that Audi might directly ignore our strong demands."

"They wouldn't dare to gamble. If they chose to ignore us, and we collectively boycotted, their products would have a hard time here."

"At least we still have to wait a year, after all, Audi's production capacity is not that high."

"Anyway, no matter what, we have finally won."

However, while they were reveling in their victory, their actions infuriated the domestic car companies.

Did they have no shame? To buy an Audi A4, they even abandoned their integrity, running to the official website to petition. They had completely lost the face of the country.

However, no matter how angry they were, they could only stare blankly. There was nothing they could do because their products lacked competitiveness, and now they couldn't even hold onto their own domestic consumers.

At this time, after the news was announced, Lu Haifeng was not idle. 谷

The distributor conference was held as scheduled, and dozens of very powerful foreign distributors rushed to the Audi factory.

Some of these foreign distributors were friends, while others were competitors.

So now, some were reminiscing about the past, some were arguing sharply, and some were thinking about how to unite and strengthen their own power.

For a time, before the distributor conference even started, the venue had become very noisy.

"Hi, Lars, are you also preparing to represent the Audi brand?"

"Didn't you say you weren't interested in Audi at the party the other day?"

"Haha, aren't you the same? I remember you devaluing Audi to nothing at the party that day."

"Haha, aren't you here now?"

"The business world is like a battlefield. We are old friends in private, but in the business world, we are competitors, enemies."

"Let's rely on our own abilities. I hope it won't affect our friendship. Let's see who can win the final victory."

… …

Finally, amidst the noisy voices of the distributors, Lu Haifeng slowly walked onto the stage and said with a smile:

"Welcome to my Audi, foreign friends. I would also like to thank all of you for your optimism and support for Audi."

"Today, this Audi distributor conference is to determine the first round of Audi brand cooperation with distributors in various countries."

"I didn't expect so many foreign friends to be interested in the agency rights of our Audi brand."

"I think everyone is very clear about Audi's agency requirements for distributors, right!"

"And those who can come here are all very powerful car distributors. I am also very willing to conduct in-depth cooperation with everyone, mutual benefit, equality and win-win."

"However, our agency rights and production capacity this time are limited, so many friends present may not be able to fully cooperate with us for the time being."

"But whether or not we can cooperate successfully this time, I hope we can become friends. We will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future. I hope everyone will not hurt the harmony because of this."

Lu Haifeng paused and continued: "This time, our Audi will only authorize 100 authorized stores in the first batch abroad."

For overseas agency rights, Lu Haifeng did not divide the agency areas like in China.

After all, there are so many countries abroad, and it is not realistic to authorize them one by one.

Authorize a few agents from each country with enough market, and let them develop the market. It is also unrealistic to have too few authorizations, after all, the attractiveness is not great.

After they develop and grow in the future, continue to look for some agents. Of course, each country definitely cannot only authorize one distributor, and they cannot be allowed to monopolize the market. They must compete.

Moreover, it is not possible to have too many now, too many cakes are too small and not very attractive.

After all, without enough benefits, how can these distributors be tied to their own boat.

It won't work if there are too few, do you want them to run over from a long distance just for one store.

Still that sentence, with enough benefits, they can actively open up the market for themselves.
