Chapter 611: Word-of-Mouth Effect

"Whoosh, that's what a turbocharged engine feels like, it's great!" Shibata is very satisfied with the power of the Lexus.

"Well, what do you think of this motivation?" asked Shibata, a sales consultant sitting in the passenger seat.

"Very good, I've bought an Audi before, I've bought a Porsche, my son drives a Maserati. The engines of these cars are okay, but now compared to the Lexus, I don't think they are as good at starting and accelerating in a straight line as they are!" Shibata said bluntly.

In fact, it is not that the engine of Porsche Maserati and other cars is poor, but that the engine of Lexus is equipped with a turbocharged engine. If the engine of Lexus is not equipped with turbocharging, in fact, the power is still not as powerful as the engines of these old high-end cars.

After all, the large displacement and high-power engines studied by Nanno Automobile Company are later than others!

After a test drive, Shibata directly made a decision and bought this Lexus!

At present, Lexus has a total of two models, one is a bridge car and the other is a sports car.

The price of the bridge car ranges from 8 million yen to 10 million yen. The entry-level configuration is 8 million yen, the mid-level configuration is 9 million yen, and the advanced configuration is 10 million yen.

Sports car, just one configuration!

The price of a Lexus sports car is 100 million yen, and the price abroad is 280,000 US dollars! A million dollars are a rich man these days, and 280,000 US dollars for a sports car is really not cheap. Only the superboss can afford it.

In fact, Shuichi Minamino is currently selling axle cars in Lexus, and as for sports cars, only 5 sports cars have been produced in the entire production workshop.

Sports cars are not suitable for mass production at the moment, after all, sports cars are not affordable for everyone. Now the main focus is to sell high-end cars.

In the future, Shuichi Minamino decided to launch Lexus off-road vehicles, SUVs, and so on.

On this day, many customers went to see the launch of Lexus, and many people were very satisfied after the test car on the same day and bought it.

Especially these island people, they all felt very honored after seeing Lexus win the first place in the F1 race, so many rich people bought it out of their pockets.

The day passed like this very quickly.

Minamino Motor Company Headquarters.

Shuichi Minamino hasn't left the company yet, he's waiting for news, he's looking at how many cars have been sold on this day!

"Mr. Chairman, today's car sales statistics are out!" The beautiful secretary hurriedly came in with a report.

"Tell me, how much!" said Minamino Shui.

"Today, we have sold a total of 1,530 Lexus bridge cars in our major 4S stores, and we have not sold a single sports car yet. The secretary said.

"Yes, that's good. We only produced 5 sports cars in total, which is a bit expensive, and it's understandable that no one bought them on the first day. By the way, how are sales abroad?" asked Shuichi Minamino.

Foreign, it started to go public yesterday!

"The U.S. imperialists sold 890 vehicles, and the European side sold 1,204 vehicles!"

"Not bad, not bad! 32.6 billion sales!"

Sales of 32.6 billion yen in one day are already good. Now he finally knows the power of word-of-mouth. It seems that his Lexus team won the first place in the F1 race really made Lexus famous, and many people came to the 4S store.

He knew that this time he launched the Lexus series of cars off to a good start and met his expectations. It is hoped that the second, third and fourth generations will gain a firm foothold in the international market step by step and consolidate their position in the high-end car at that time.

In fact, high-end cars such as Ferrari, Maserati, Lotus, Porsche, etc., have won a lot of championships on the field, so they are famous. Great fame and good reputation. Therefore, many consumers think that these cars are reliable before buying.

Now Lexus is following this path, and it has been very successful from the beginning, and Shuichi Minamino hopes to continue to work hard in the future!

Meidi Nanye Automobile 4S store.

Recently, there has been a car buying boom in the high-end car market of the United States, which is caused by the listing of Lexus cars!

In the past, the American imperialists have always been very supportive of domestic goods, namely General Motors and Ford Motors. After all, both cars focus on large displacement, sufficient power, and heavy bodies. This is very complex to the taste of the Meidi.

But with the launch of Lexus, these American imperialists have changed their way into high-end cars.

First of all, Lexus has a cool appearance, and they also like it very much for these American imperialists. However, in terms of fuel consumption, it is less than that of high-end cars of the same class!

That's the charm of Minamino Motor Company!

Coupled with the advanced engine technology of turbocharging, it also attracts these Meidilian people. After all, Cadillac hasn't won awards in big cars. At least they didn't win an award in F1, they didn't even have a team!

The most important one, that is, Lexus is cheaper than Porsche, Maserati, Lotus cars. As for Ferraris, needless to say, Ferraris are cars that only the super-rich can afford. It's also a premium car, but Ferrari is more than a lot of cars. At least for now.

In this way, Lexus has become the first target of the American imperialists recently!

General Motors Corporate Headquarters.

William looked at this month's Cadillac sales, and he snuffed out the cigar in his hand and fell into deep thought.

No, because Cadillac's sales this month are down 20 percent from last month! 20 percent! The reason why this is the case is because Lexus went public this month.

At present, Cadillac is still leading the way in high-end car sales in the US imperialist market, but Lexus has climbed to the second place.

If this continues, Lexus is likely to compete with Cadillac, and maybe surpass Cadillac in the future!

"Am I going to build an F1 team too......? It's a huge cost to build an F1 team. I don't know why that Shuichi Minamino has so much money and dares to play such extravagant things. William was melancholy.

In fact, General Motors is only a car company at best. But Shuichi Minamino is different, he has a group, a big group.

There are not only automobile companies, but also banks, Fujitsu, fishery, Sony, real estate, and mining companies......

There are a lot of companies, and now there are ten oil fields, gold mines, and diamond ore veins, and Shuichi Minamino doesn't have much money now, but he has a lot of money! He is so willful that he dares to play things that many rich people dare not play.

Now he wants to invest in a project of tens of millions of dollars, and he can take it out casually, but General Motors is different, and if he wants to come up with tens of millions of dollars at once, it is estimated that it will hurt his muscles and bones.

…………

Fujitsu Corporation.

On this day, Shuichi Minamino came here to deal with some things.

When he saw that there had been bad progress in the research and development of computers recently, he launched a new computer, and at the same time developed a rudimentary computer operating system, he suddenly had a new investment plan!

According to the historical trajectory, Fujitsu's computers in the 60s were certainly not very advanced, at least in the eyes of later generations of Shuichi Minamino was still a bulky machine.

But with his investment of a lot of money and the direction of research and development of those R&D personnel, the computer developed by Fujitsu in 60 years has been leading the world!

"With this pace of research and development, I think that in 1965 we should be able to realize the internationalization of computers, and maybe by the 70s we will be able to realize the era of personal computers! Shouldn't computer games be there then?" said Minamino Shuichi in his heart.

"Prepare for a rainy day, it seems that I should invest in the development of computer games in advance! But before developing computer games, I can develop a TV game first!" Minamino Shuichi thought about it and made up his mind.

"What are the famous game companies in the island country?

He remembers that Nintendo Corporation was founded on November 20, 1947. One of the Big Three in the video game industry, it is a game producer with global influence. Founder: Bojiro Yamauchi. Over the years, Nintendo has become the world's largest manufacturer of video game consoles. In addition, Nintendo also has a stake in the Seattle Mariners of Major League Baseball. Nintendo has developed 7 generations of video game consoles, launched more than 250 games, and sold more than 2.4 billion games!

Nintendo is not the overlord of computer games, but the overlord of TV games.

For example, Mario, Donkey Kong and the most classic games in the history of games, such as The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, Super Flash Mario. Nintendo manufactures and sells home consoles and gaming software, including the Nintendo GameCube and the Game Boy series, the world's best-selling handheld consoles.

At present, the computer configuration is not good, and even if you develop a computer game, there is no corresponding configuration of the computer. But now you can develop TV games!

Nowadays, almost many households in developed countries own TV sets, which is a huge market!

"Do you want to buy Nintendo Games?" said Minamino at first.

Nintendo is still a small company in the 60s, and it shouldn't be very difficult to acquire, but it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money to acquire. That's something that Shuichi Minamino doesn't want to see.

Since I have the foundations of Fujitsu and Sony, I should be able to develop TV games with my own investment!

After all, Fujitsu specializes in the research and development of semiconductors, computers, and IT engineering, while Sony develops televisions, digital products, etc., and should have the strength and foundation compared to the development of TV games.

"That's it, invest yourself!" said Shuichi Minamino.
