Chapter 2540: Robert. Mark's choice
"Is the news on the German side confirmed?" In the general manager's office at the headquarters of the Mark Motor Company, Robert Mark said, looking at the documents in his hand. Kuangsha Literature Network
"Yes, the truth of the news has been confirmed. The Bavarian government does want to bid for a batch of trucks, which are required to be able to drive on the poor roads of Eastern Europe and be robust and reliable. The coverage ranges from 1 ton to 5 tons. The number is about 3,000. Unlike Prussia in the north, Bavaria is for the whole of Europe this time. Italians also want to participate, while French people will not be excluded." The assistant next to it said.
"This is really a big order, and it looks like there is a follow-up?" Robert Mark asked.
"That's the case. According to the news from our friends in Germany, if the Bavarian government thinks these cars are useful, then it will be of great help to the related bidding work of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. You and I know very well In fact, these two countries have a common brain." The assistant said with some excitement.
"Well, good." Robert nodded and said. But the only thing that worries Robert Mark is what is the French government's attitude toward this matter? Now that the war is over, due to Germany's tolerance towards France, the French government is also trying its best to play down the hostility between them. If it is normal trade, it will certainly not be affected. However, the Mark Company not only produced cars and trucks during the war, but was also one of the important manufacturers of French heavy construction vehicles and self-propelled artillery chassis!
And this technology is very sensitive to the present. Although Germany also has its own system of heavy vehicles, the French also have their own unique features, such as the heavy chassis of the gpf series of self-propelled guns. Germany has no similar products. Even self-propelled guns modified with wolf tanks can only be loaded to the level of 150mm cannons, like the 220mm and 194mm heavy naval guns directly? At least there are no Germans now!
"Our friends in the government hint that this is not a problem," the assistant said.
"Why?" Robert Mark frowned slightly, he couldn't understand this. ,
"Economically speaking, the Germans are allowed to use a batch of vehicles to offset the indemnity. The remaining part can also be paid in U.S. dollars. As you know, French exports are very limited now and the government lacks enough U.S. dollars. The economies of European countries are recovering. Before I got up, the US dollar was a real hard currency." The assistant said.
"In terms of industrial structure, the war is over, and we have lost. In the future, especially in the heavy-duty vehicle market, the demand in France will be very low. Unless the government is willing to see the decline of the French automobile industry, it must do so. Some compromises, let the German orders to feed the French car companies." The assistant said.
"It seems that this is very good news for us. Help me find out the phone numbers of Louis Renault and Andre Citroen, I want to contact them." After hesitating for a while, Robert Standard said.
"Are you not telling these two companies? Although there are not many orders for 3,000 vehicles, it is definitely not enough for the three companies to share. We have the opportunity now, we know this earlier than them! More preparation time. You know very well that Renault also has the production technology for heavy vehicles and even tanks, and it is not technically inferior to ours. Citroen’s production efficiency is very high, and their production line management technology is the strongest in France, in terms of cost. There is a big advantage!" the assistant said in shock.
The logo is different from Renault and Citroen. If the latter is because their family began to rise after being engaged in industry, then the logo family first established a strong family power and then developed into the automotive industry. The logo family is engaged in industry. The industry can even be pushed forward 150 years ago!
Therefore, this allows the Mark family to have very good contacts in the government and related departments. And there are some friends in other European countries. This is not surprising. The Esterhazy family in Hungary can spread their branches to France, so it is not surprising that some friends of the icon family in Germany, and the earliest iconic car used the engine of Daimler Benz! And now Robert Logo actually wants to share this news with two other competitors!
"To unite and then open the German and Austrian-Hungarian markets is a must. Don't you think that the Bavarian Industrial Group, Daimler Benz, and Prussian Motor Company are the ones that we can stand alone against?" Robert Mark asked rhetorically.
In history, the German automobile industry can be described as a weak chicken, but this dimension is different, first of all, Bavaria! With the support of Ruprecht's large amount of funds, with the help of assembly lines and scientific management, the development speed of the German automobile industry has completely exceeded that of France. If the French-style car industry can open up the high-end market of German civilian cars~www.wuxiaspot.com~, then France generally has no advantage in the truck industry.
That's great, now what if the French want to bid for German orders? The best way is naturally to unite! Sign company has an advantage in vehicles of 3.5 tons and above, Renault has an advantage in the production of vehicles from 1.5 to 3 tons, and Citroen has an advantage in assembly line production and management costs, so good, this order can naturally allow three companies The company divides it up together, and even if it can win the bid this time, then everyone can build a new car production company together in the future.
Regarding the opinions of the Roberto logo, whether it is Louis Renault or André Citroen, they naturally have no reason to object. So the three have finalized the cooperation plan and are ready to discuss with representatives from Germany at any time! Yes, this time, the Kingdom of Bavaria will send a delegation to European countries to reach agreement on some issues before the official technical tender! Only after the other party has agreed to some requirements will the other party be allowed to participate in the bidding!
Although Ruprecht hopes to incorporate the industries of other countries into his own system, and hopes to control other European countries by economic means, the real money in his hands cannot be spent in vain. Everything has a price! And the price is to add to the trade barriers established by Germany with technology and specifications. Such barriers are aimed at the United States and Britain! Ruprecht wants to use this method to gradually cut the relationship between the European continent and the United States and Britain!
