Chapter 277: The three world-famous brands are in hand
Chen Dao and Remtsma worked very efficiently, and the next morning they found the Dassler brothers again.
At the home of their younger brother Adolf, the Dassler brothers looked at Chen Dao and Remtsma with a blank eye, expecting good news from them.
Chen Dao knew the inside story of the misfortune of the Dassler shoe factory, and he was very benevolent and did not fall into the well again, hanging the appetite of the two, but bluntly raised two fingers and said: "A good news and a bad news, the bad news is that the Dasler Brothers shoe factory will never be able to open again, the empire's new race law has just been promulgated, and it is about to arrest a few companies that have broken the law, and your shoe factory is unfortunate and has become a negative example, and I can't do anything about it." β
The elder brother Rudolph glanced at Adolf angrily, and then asked, "General Rosen, what is the good news?" β
"I think it's good news, but it's not necessarily good news for you. Let Mr. Remtsma tell me about this news. Chen Dao lifted the ball to Remtsma.
Seeing the Dassler brothers looking at her with anxiety, and knowing that they had put all their hopes in herself, Remtsma did not hesitate to throw the bait.
"My suggestion is to take advantage of the law, although the Dassler shoe factory is sealed, the land, plant and machinery there are still yours. You can sell the factory, change the factory name, change the legal representative, and start again.
After the restart, General Rosen will let you undertake the manufacture of footwear, and if you wish, General Rosen will also open up some new business for you, such as making new military uniforms and so on.
There is a certain risk in this matter if someone reports it. You may be at greater risk. Maybe you'll be arrested and imprisoned.' With General Rosen's help, you should be fine. β
"I've just read today's paper, and we're lucky to have other businesses shut down for violating the apartheid laws, and some officials and businessmen have been tried for this," said his brother Adolf. Thank you for your advice and help, we will consider it. β
Chen Dao said: "I have used the products of your shoe factory. It's very comfortable, and it's very practical, and I love it, which is why I thought of asking you to design and produce new footwear and uniforms for the military. I do not want your shoe factory to be closed because of this insignificant newness, but you will consider Mr. Remtsma's suggestion and give me an answer. I don't have much time to wait, the production of military supplies cannot be delayed for a moment, if you don't do it, I will immediately hand over the order to other manufacturers. β
When Rudolph heard that Chen Dao was looking for other manufacturers, he immediately couldn't help himself: "General Rosen." We would very much like to serve the army of the Reich, just in the current situation. Even if we want to sell the factory and change the corporate entity, it will take a lot of time to complete the procedures, so please give us some time to prepare. β
Chen Dao nodded and said, "You're right, even if you want to sell, someone has to want to buy it." Although I don't know much about business, if I sell the factory at this time, those buyers will definitely take the opportunity to lower the price. And after the factory is sold, you will probably not be able to stay in the factory anymore, without your factory, I can't trust the quality of the products produced, so the best way is to find someone to join the shares and set up a factory in partnership with you. This will allow you to stay in the company and ensure the quality of your products, while avoiding the risk of breaking the law, but only if you find a partner with a strong background behind you. β
After Chen Dao finished speaking, he looked at Remtsma with a look of embarrassment and said, "Philip, you have a lot of friends in the business world, can you find a partner?" Or if you invest directly in the shoe factory and get the shoe factory back open, with your connections in Germany, the Gestapo will definitely not come back to the ballast. β
Remtsma spread his hands and said to Chen Dao and the Dassler brothers: "With all due respect, the scale of this factory is too small for me to make much profit worth investing, and if the two Dustler gentlemen agree, I can ask my friends to see if anyone is willing to take over." The two Mr. Dassler can also ask your friends if anyone would like to cooperate in the stake. β
In the face of Remtsma's outright refusal, Chen Dao did not care, but continued to persuade him.
"It's easy to solve the problem of small factories, if you inject money to build more factories and recruit more workers, the problem will be solved. You don't have to worry about business, the business we want to do is the business of millions of people, tens of millions of sets of military uniforms and military shoes, don't be afraid of finding a market, let alone worrying that the investment will not return. β
Chen Dao looked at Remtsma as he spoke, but the corner of his eyes was staring at the two Dassler brothers, and when he said that he wanted to do business with millions of people and tens of millions of sets of military uniforms and shoes, the eyes of the two brothers burst out of strange light at the same time.
Chen Dao suddenly remembered something and turned his gaze to his brother Rudolph.
"We might as well do that, since both Mr. Dassler are experts, you might as well work with both of them to open two factories, so that their talents can be put to good use, and they can quickly scale up production and increase profits. Gentlemen, may you consider my suggestion as well? β
Remcma seemed to be a little moved, and the Dassler brothers were also lost in thought, especially the elder brother Rudolph's heart was pounding with excitement.
Unlike his younger brother Adolf, his elder brother Rudolph not only saw this as an opportunity to bring the factory back to life, but also the perfect time to catch up with the two big names, General Rosen and the big entrepreneur Remtsma.
With the help of these two big names, the Dassler family is just around the corner, and they can also set up their own doors and realize their dreams of entrepreneurship.
And, most importantly, Rudolph was a hardcore supporter of the National Socialist Party, always dreaming of contributing all his strength to the great cause of National Socialism.
Looking at Chen Dao, dressed in the uniform of an Waffen-SS major general, Rudolph's intuition told him that this was his greatest opportunity in life.
Looking at the hesitant remtsma, Rudolph said eagerly: "This shoe factory is the whole business of our Dassler family, if General Rosen and Mr. Remsma can revive our business, we must know how to be grateful β² will make your investment get a return." β
Adolf saw his brother make a statement. It's not good to be silent yourself.
Although I always felt that there was something wrong with it. Adolf was still advised by Chen Daode, after all, this matter would be beneficial to the Dassler family
"Mr. Remtsma, please help me more, our Dassler family knows the meaning of gratitude, please believe us in this."
Chen Dao added fuel to the fire, and persuaded again: "With the ability of the two Dashlers, you don't have to worry about investment failureΒ§ make a decision, my time is very tight." β
Remtsma reluctantly said, "I accept your suggestion that I can open two new factories." But I am only a shareholder, not a legal person of the enterprise, and you can find someone else, such as your son. Mr. Dassler may wish to think about the name of our new factory and how many shares you will cede to me. Once we finalize the details, we can prepare the contract and then sign it. β
Five days later, in the office of the director of the Dassler shoe factory, which had reopened, Mszma and the Dassler brothers signed separate contracts.
The two contracts are similar to Xu, and the content is that Remtsma and the Dassler brothers will work together. Opened two factories.
Remtsma owns forty-nine percent of each plant, with the Dassler brothers holding the rest.
Younger brother Adolf. Dassler's name for the new factory comes from his nickname Adi, as well as the first three letters of his surname, and after the merger, it is the world-famous brand that Chen Dao is familiar with, the famous Adidas.
And the brother gave himself a name for the new factory in his name, which was nothing new.
At the instigation of Chen Dao, Remtsma vetoed the vulgar and vulgar name of Rudy Shoe Factory.
The elder brother Rudolph twisted the juice of the foal, and after several modifications, finally under the persuasion of Chen Dao, he came up with a tall new name for his business, Puma Puma.
The new name was well received by Chen Dao and Remtsma.
After the funds were in place, the vigorous production movement was immediately launched in the Heicuo root order.
The nascent Puma factory is building buildings, buying machinery, and recruiting workers.
Adidas, who was reborn, started a hot research and development work.
SS Colonel Wilhelm. Dr. Brandt, the inventor of the world's first practical camouflage uniform, was also sent by Chen Dao to Heicuo Genxu to assist in the development of a real, head-to-toe camouflage uniform, rather than just a camouflage blouse.
While the Dassler brothers were gearing up for a big fight, Chen Dao and Remtsma appeared in Berlin.
Coincidentally, there is a company in Berlin that is in a similar predicament to the Dassler Brothers, which also has a well-known name, Coca-Cola.
Before World War II, the German team urgently needed a sweet and delicious military drink. Coca-Cola Germany agreed with Hitler to begin construction of a bottling plant in the German-occupied zone.
Coca-Cola was not a seller in Germany, and by 1939 there were 43 bottling plants and more than 600 distributors.
By 1940, relations between the United States and Germany had become strained, especially in May 1941, when the United States supported Britain through the Lend-Lease Act, which caused dissatisfaction among Germany.
It was at this point that an amateur chef who had introduced the dish of chicken wings to Germany had his strategic commercial eye on Coca-Cola Germany.
Coca-Cola's recipe is highly secretive, even the general manager of the German branch, Marx. Kane had no way of knowing, and certainly couldn't get anyone's interest.
What really piqued someone's interest was a new product that the company had independently developed in 1941.
The new product created a new tangerine-flavored drink from whey after cheese, residues from apple juice squeezing, and other fruits available at the time.
In order to give the new drink an attractive name, Marx. Kane personally held a contest at the factory, asking his employees to use their imaginations and express their fantasies freely.
At that time, a salesperson blurted out - "Fanta! β
Fanta's root is the same as the German word for "fantasy", and it was immediately recognized by the company's president, Marx. Kane's approval, and so it became the name of the new drink.
Being targeted by someone is already the misfortune of Coca-Cola Germany, and being targeted by someone's brother-in-law is the misfortune of misfortunes.
Marshal Goering was furious that the quality of the products supplied by the German branch of Coca-Cola caused a large number of Luftwaffe personnel to "run out of stomach and have a high fever".
Mr. Ge was very angry, and the consequences were serious, and the Gestapo immediately appeared on the scene.
First Marx. Kane was sent to jail for investigation, followed by a company that was ordered to close for inspection.
Fifteen days later, when Marx. After Kane was released with a body that had lost fifteen pounds, he found that the company had an additional shareholder surnamed Remtsma.
Because of serious "quality" problems, Coca-Cola was stopped from marketing indefinitely, and all products that were already on the market were removed from the shelves.
For the livelihood of all employees at the company's 43 bottling plants, Marx. Kane had to use the new product Fanta as a lifesaver, began mass production, and quickly replaced Coca-Cola as the designated beverage supply of the German ** team under the successful operation of a group trio.
Adidas, Puma and Fanta are all world-renowned brands in later generations.
Whenever he thinks that in the near future, German soldiers will wear camouflage uniforms produced by Adi or Puma, drink Fanta, hold Cosmos brand cigarettes, and drive brand-name chariots produced by Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, Skoda and other factories to fight all over the world, Chen Dao's emotions are so high that even the emotions of telling stories to little Lori Hepburn are much higher.
In the living room of Karin Manor's villa, Chen Dao told the story of Harry Potter to little Lori Hepburn vividly.
"Today, I'm going to tell the story of a magical boy called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. This story takes place in the United Kingdom, starting with Mr. Doesley's family."
Goering's wife, Amy, and her daughter, Ida, sat beside Hepburn, immersed in the magical world described by Chen Dao.
Chen Daozheng spoke energetically, Margaret. Braun came to visit out of nowhere and then became Harry. A big fan of Potter.
It wasn't until the appearance of Goering and a handsome middle-aged man that Harry was in the midst of the women's grief. Potter's story has just come to an end.
Chen Dao took Hepburn forward and warmly shook hands with each other.
"It's a pleasure to see you, Mr. Hepburn-Roston."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, General Rosen."
After shaking hands with Chen Dao, Ying Niezi, who was called Hepburn-Roston by Chen Dao, looked at Hepburn behind Chen Dao.
Seeing this, Hepburn walked up to him, gracefully squatted down, and then said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Dad." β
