June 1906, Berlin, Linden Strasse, the headquarters of the Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
People passing by here suddenly noticed that the walls of this building were suddenly covered with black canvas. Many people don't know why this is happening. Someone was very curious about this and went to ask what was going on. However, the result is that everything will be announced soon.
On June 18th, when people passed by again, they found that the black canvas had indeed disappeared. In its place was a huge poster. The poster is divided into two parts, the left part is a handsome young man, riding on a powerful motorcycle, giving people the feeling, not to mention how handsome and chic. On the left, a blonde woman rides a small motorcycle, the motorcycle is delicate and cute, and after being painted red, few women can resist such temptation.
"Oh God! What's that? Motorcycles? How can there be such a handsome motorcycle! A young man looked at the poster dumbfounded, as if he was going to be stupid, and the only thing he wanted to do was to buy one of these motorcycles immediately.
"Oh God! It's so beautiful, so cute. Who knows where the motorcycles on the posters are sold? I'm going to have to buy one. A young lady exclaimed.
Many people stopped by this poster and talked about it. Everyone had never seen a motorcycle of this shape, and they were all shocked.
The same poster is not unique to Berlin. Such posters have appeared in almost all major cities in Germany. The German Welfare Lottery company has also hung up the lottery tickets of Daimler's two motorcycles in betting stations around the country, so that these two motorcycles are known to all Germans at the first time.
At the same time, Daimler AG also bought large pages in major newspapers to promote it. The newspaper not only describes the performance of the two motorcycles, but also the timing of the sale.
"Oh God! How can it be that it will take a month to go on sale? I've been conquered and want to have it now! A young man was pulling at his hair, very annoyed.
"Damn the manufacturers, can't they be faster? Don't they know that such a hanger will go to hell! A young girl cursed through gritted teeth.
Daimler's two motorcycles, although not yet on the market, are already well known throughout Germany. Many people who have the desire to buy are counting their fingers to live, looking forward to the early launch of these two motorcycles.
Daimler spent a month buying or renting shops in major cities in Germany to sell their motorcycles and future cars. At the same time, it also provides repair services for these motorcycles and cars. And this is the prototype of the 4S store in later generations.
On July 18, Daimler AG's first 20,000 motorcycles were put on the market, including 10,000 for men and 10,000 for women. The prices of the two motorcycles are 1,500 marks and 1,000 marks. Such a price, at the current price, is undoubtedly very expensive. It takes about two years' wages for an average worker to be able to buy one. But even so, it can't stop their desire to buy.
"Oh God! How expensive is it? A young man complained.
"Idiot, such a powerful motorcycle, of course the price is not cheap, if you don't buy it, get out of the way, don't get in the way in front!" Said a big guy at the back.
"Who says I won't buy it? I'm just complaining. Everyone wants to buy such a good motorcycle, but if you don't buy it now, you don't know when you will have to wait for the next time. The young man muttered. He is not a fool either, knowing that once Daimler's motorcycle goes on the market, it will definitely be snapped up. If you don't seize this opportunity now, it will be even more difficult to buy it in the future.
Sure enough, all the 20,000 motorcycles on the market this time were sold out in one day, which not only shocked the senior management of Daimler, but also shocked other motorcycle manufacturers. They never thought that Daimler motorcycles, which were so expensive, would be bought so well. You know, when they learned the price of Daimler's motorcycles, they asserted that these two motorcycles would not sell at all. However, reality slapped them hard.
Equally shocked were those who were hesitating. After all, such an expensive price is not a small amount for many people. But just when they hesitated, they were all sold out, which made them shocked and regretted it very much. Many people complain that they are not decisive enough, and if they can make up their minds to buy immediately, they will not miss this opportunity. The next time I want to buy, I don't know how much time I will have to wait. Of course, I don't know how many people started writing to Daimler, asking them to put in the next batch of motorcycles as soon as possible to satisfy everyone's desire to buy.
"Your Royal Highness, it's unbelievable. A full 20,000 motorcycles were sold out in one day. When did the purchasing power of the German people become so strong! "The next day, Paul? Daimler personally rushed to Berlin to report the sales situation to Qin Tian. You know, the entire Daimler company was shocked by this sales speed.
"Mr. Daimler, this is just the beginning. With free advertising from those who have bought motorcycles, our motorcycles will soon be all over Germany and all over Europe and the world. When the time comes, orders will drift to Daimler like snowflakes. Are you and the whole company ready? Qin Tian's face was calm, and he didn't seem to be shocked by this sales data.
"Your Royal Highness, the whole company is ready. After deducting the 20,000 motorcycles sold, we still have 20,000 motorcycles in stock. After the expansion of production, it will be possible to sell 40,000 motorcycles per month in the future. "Paul? Daimler said. In his opinion, this is already an extremely high yield. When the factory was expanded, it was Qin Tianli who promoted it to such a production scale. Otherwise, a monthly output of 20,000 vehicles may be the limit.
"Is 40,000 units a month really enough? We may not even be able to meet the demand in Europe. Qin Tian couldn't help but shake his head.
