Chapter 158 Benz one

February 17, 1903, on the streets of New York, USA.

This is a small square that originally had a lot of passenger traffic, but for some reason it was temporarily occupied and filled with many cars of the same appearance but different colors.

Although this is the busiest city in the United States, Americans have never seen so many cars parked in one place.

For both Americans and Europeans, cars are just a luxury product for the time being, a plaything of capitalists and aristocrats.

"Man, what are you doing? Where do you get so many cars from? I'm afraid Boss Dansi doesn't even have the financial resources to buy so many cars!" Around the square, a young boy who seemed to have just entered society looked at him with curiosity. asked the slightly older boy next to him.

"Frank, I want you to read more books, okay? A car costs at least a thousand dollars. To fill this square, there must be at least hundreds of cars! Do you think Boss Dance can Can you afford so many cars?" The boy next to him said angrily after hearing his partner's funny question.

They were all workers in a factory owned by a boss named Dansi. After working continuously for a month, they finally got a day off.

They originally planned to come to the square they were familiar with and look for the stall selling a novel drink called Coke. It was said that Coke also had the effect of curing diseases. It happened that they were tired from working continuously and drank a bottle of delicious Coke to relax.

But who would have thought that when they arrived at the square, not only were the Coke stalls that were always there next to the square gone, but even the square was occupied by many cars.

The square, which usually still has passenger flow, has been basically emptied. Of course, it cannot be denied that people are afraid of being scratched by these cars and stay away.

Cars these days can easily cost thousands of dollars, and repair costs can range from tens to hundreds of dollars.

This is something that ordinary people cannot afford. If it is accidentally scratched, several months of salary may be lost.

This gave rise to a very strange but not unexpected phenomenon. The square that was supposed to have a lot of passenger traffic was empty, but the roads outside the square were filled with curious people, all of whom stared intently at the cars parked inside the square. Car.

For these people, the cars parked in the square are simply checks worth thousands of dollars one after another. If it were not for the rows and rows of American police protecting order next to them, these cars alone might be enough to cause turmoil at the scene.

Just when everyone was talking and confused, a few people finally walked to the center of the square, stood in front of the loudspeakers that had been arranged, and said with a smile on their faces: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Benz Motors." The launch ceremony of the factory's new car. This launch ceremony was held globally simultaneously, with multiple sales points set up in the United States, the British Empire, Germany, France, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Italy, Australia and other countries."

"Before the official sales begin, please allow me to briefly introduce the background of Benz Automobile Factory and the development process of new cars."

"Benz Automobile Factory was born in Germany and is currently the largest automobile factory in Australia. All the cars you see today come from the cooperation between Benz Automobile Factory and American companies, the American Benz United Automobile Factory. Our factory The use of the most advanced production technology has greatly reduced the production cost and time of automobiles. And we have cooperated with many countries around the world. Our cooperation partners include the United States, the British Empire, Germany and Australia. Only automobile factories in the United States , the capital when established was as high as two and a half million dollars.”

"Now, please allow me to solemnly introduce our new car, which is named Benz One."

Because it was the first time it was released, the introduction of the car's various features took a long time.

In order to gain a foothold in the United States, a country of pure capital, the person responsible for the introduction was also very thoughtful. He introduced the background of the Benz Automobile Factory in detail, and only showed that the Benz Automobile Factory has a triple relationship with the British Empire, Germany and Australia. .

More importantly, so as not to make Americans feel excluded. Benz Automobile Factory also has a cool operation, which is to secretly acquire an American company, and then let the American company join forces with Benz Automobile Factory to establish the American Benz United Automobile Factory.

Although nominally the American Benz United Automobile Factory is jointly run by an American company and the Australian Benz Automobile Factory, in fact both companies belong to the Australian royal family consortium, that is, Arthur.

Perhaps it was because the previously introduced capital and cooperative countries shocked these Americans. Even though the introduction alone took more than an hour, not many people chose to leave.

This is beneficial to the sales of cars. Even if there are not many people in the crowd who can actually buy cars, the remaining people can pass on today's news, which is equivalent to free advertising for Benz Automobile Factory. .

The crowd of onlookers talked a lot, but most of them admired the strong background of Benz Automobile Factory and the data of new cars. No one really expressed their desire to buy a car.

In fact, this is also the current status of the automobile market. It is not that there are no cars with excellent performance in the world now, but as long as the word "car" is attached to it, it represents expensiveness and luxury.

Not to mention a car with such excellent performance, which can easily cost thousands of dollars, is simply not within the reach of ordinary American civilians.

Some Americans have even begun to secretly laugh at it, so what if the so-called Benchi Automobile is strong?

They blindly produce so many cars without thoroughly investigating the American market, and they won't be able to sell them even if they are sold for a year.

At that time, these cars will have to be sold at low prices, or they will be piled in warehouses waiting to be scrapped.

To occupy the entire square, at least hundreds of cars must be parked. This will probably cost a lot of money. No matter how powerful the Benz Automobile Factory is, it will still feel distressed!

There are not a few people who have this mentality. After all, cars are toys for the rich, and in capital countries like the United States, the oppression of the poor by the rich is very cruel, which also leads to a large number of poor people hating the rich. It’s the hatred of the rich.

Even though Benz Automobile Factory is essentially a foreign company, isn't it also run by rich people?

As long as they are rich, they are a criminal capitalist class. It is also what many Americans want to see that these capitalists can be unlucky.

But this is no wonder the American capitalists. This phenomenon is very common around the world.

The exploitation of ordinary people by capitalists did not end even in later generations, but intensified.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now is the most exciting moment. I am going to announce the initial selling price of the new car Benz One. How much do you think it will be?" the person in charge of introducing the car data asked with a smile. .

Although no one answered, many people even looked at him with disdain. After all, who doesn’t know that cars can cost thousands of dollars? Do you need to ask this kind of thing again?

The man was not angry, and continued to smile and mysteriously announced: "Maybe this price will surprise you, but it is indeed a price after careful consideration. I announce that the global unified price of Benz One For one hundred and fifty pounds, that’s seven hundred and fifty dollars!”

Seven hundred and fifty dollars? This selling price surprised many Americans present and even found it a bit incredible.

Although this price is still a sky-high price that is temporarily unattainable for most Americans, compared with other cars on the market that can easily cost thousands of dollars, the Benz One is already relatively cheap.

It’s not like there aren’t cheap cars in the United States, there are even many.

But these cars are generally the first works produced by various automobile handicraft workshops. They have various problems, big or small. Some of them cannot even be put on the road directly and are just works for display.

This also made everyone present once again question the Benz One. On the surface, the advertised performance is very good, even the top in the current automobile market, but the price is indeed very cheap. Will such a car really be as good as advertised?

Perhaps seeing the disbelief and skepticism of the onlookers, the person in charge of the introduction was not distressed and continued to explain with a smile: "Please don't doubt it, we can guarantee that any car sold will have our All functions and data introduced. If there is any problem with the car you purchased, as long as it is verified that it was indeed a problem before leaving the factory, we can provide an unconditional refund and triple compensation. If it is a human problem after the sale, we are also happy to Provide an opportunity for low-cost repair. If the repair amount does not exceed fifty US dollars, we can also directly waive the repair cost. Of course, this is only the first repair, which can be regarded as the sincerity of our automobile factory to all users .”

This is not the only way to reassure these people. The person continued: "In order to completely reassure all users, as long as you are sure you want to buy our car and have enough funds. You can experience it first, we We provide you with a test drive car and allow you to drive more than ten kilometers for free. There is no problem in purchasing the car after making sure all the data is accurate.”

The concept of test driving is still vague to these Americans. Since its birth, cars have become something that only the rich can enjoy, and the rich do not need to test drive to determine the performance of the car.

In addition, handmade cars were very expensive in the past, and if something went wrong, it could cost hundreds of dollars to repair.

This is also the reason why car factories do not provide test drives. If there is a problem with the car due to the test drive, neither the car factory nor the person who buys the car can bear it.

Three thousand words chapter, please support!

In addition, the tentative title of the book is "The Rise of Australia", which can achieve the purpose of changing the name and clarify the main line of the book, but will not be too different from the original name. Can everyone accept it?
