Chapter 54 Made in Germany

In fact, Hitler was also a spy, and he had some ideas in his mind about the new Russian regime: since he wanted to send people to the Soviet power to do business, why not send spies to Russia to build an intelligence network?

"We have to send more people to Russia." Hitler thought to himself that he would arrange this when he returned to Berlin, because the Russian Soviet was a new regime and was bound to grow in the future, and this was the best time to hide spies.

"The company's profits this year are good, our products are sold all over the world, occupying a large part of the market, and the company's perfumes and bicycles alone have a profit of 10 million!" Ginter said excitedly: "Hillemel has become one of the top 200 companies in Germany, and in addition, the Hanseatic tobacco factory under development has already accounted for 5% of the German tobacco market share and has a profit of more than 10 million marks, and with the promotion of mixed cigarettes next year, the profits of the Hanseatic tobacco factory will be even more gratifying." ”

More than 10 million marks?

Hitler never realized that he would become so rich, and the ten million marks of the Hillemes company alone, if he divided half of the five million marks, would be equivalent to all the assets of a first-class Junkers.

"Do I remember the year before last when I shared the profits only 200,000 marks? Now it's so much. Hitler's assets have always been managed by Ginter, Ginter will write to Hitler every quarter to report, and later directly let Ginter invest in the management of funds, Hitler does not know much about the economy, and he is busy, he rarely uses money, the huge expenses of the Berlin Regiment are all funded by Victor and the government, no matter how much money is needed for army construction, he will not be afraid to use his own money, so later there has been no clear concept of his own assets.

Before you know it, Hitler has become a super-rich.

"Two years ago, whether it was our bicycles or our perfumes, our sales market was limited to a few states in the north of the empire, but then we sold goods through companies in neutral countries such as the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, etc., and our profits increased greatly, especially our perfumes sold very well in France, the United States, and the United Kingdom. ”

There are quite a few wealthy people in these countries, and of course they can afford such luxuries as perfume.

Speaking of perfume, Hitler suddenly thought of Mademoiselle Chanel who was released in the town of River, and because of the danger of war at that time, they did not let Chanel go immediately, but let Chanel stay in the town of River, until they were ambushed in Paris and the whole army retreated to Fort Thierry, which allowed Chanel to be freed.

"I'm still more bullish on tobacco." Denbuch's words interrupted Hitler's recollection: "Our tobacco is now reaping a great harvest of only five percent of the Reich's tobacco share, and if we can open up foreign markets and expand our domestic market share, the profits will not be comparable to those of perfumes and bicycles." ”

Hitler felt the same: "We Germans have to promote tobacco well, don't we Germans have many people who worship soldiers and strong people?" Then promote more posters of soldiers and strong people smoking, and contact the film company to implant advertisements in the movie. ”

"Product placement in movies?" Ginter said that this time was black and white films, and although the film industry had grown, there were more than 1,000 nickelodeon cinemas in Germany, but there were no examples of advertising placement in films.

"Contact the studio, you can give it a try. Find me more good publicity talents, and try to make our Hanseatic cigarettes occupy the forefront of the German market. "Hitler already has a lot of money in his hands, which is enough for an ordinary person to squander at will for a lifetime, although he does not attach importance to money, but people are like this, after having money, they want to earn more money.

"By the way, regarding the car company, we have acquired two small car factories and two parts factories and a motorcycle factory, established Guike Automobile Company, and invited many experienced researchers to upgrade the car engine, and it will not be long before we can produce high-end cars and motorcycles." Ginter handed Hitler many contracts and drawings.

A few months ago, Hitler exchanged letters with Ginter, pointing out that he was going to get involved in the field of motorcycles and automobiles, and Hitler gave instructions in the general direction.

Hitler wanted to set up a car company because he found that most of the cars at this time were open-top sports cars, not closed vans like later generations, even if it was a cheap Ford Model T, it was a bit like a horse-drawn carriage, an enlarged version of the rickshaw, which was semi-open.

Convertible has the advantages of open-top, but Hitler believes that the enclosed car can reduce the driver or occupants to be blown by wind, sand, rain and snow, which is conducive to safe driving and improve the comfort of the vehicle, and the enclosed car can make people feel more secure and have a sense of privacy protection.

"In fact, there have been attempts to build a closed car for a long time, and the all-metal body has been patented in 1900, but because the metal smelting process is not developed, the metal body has not been put into practical use," Ginter points out. However, we joined forces with Krupp, Thyssensteel, the gold and silver smelting company, and the Fokker aircraft factory to carry out technical research, and finally obtained barely qualified steel. He said that these companies are all top factories in Germany and even in the world, with many super scientists, and it is not too difficult to study a little special steel.

Hitler nodded with satisfaction: "Has the Ford assembly line production equipment been introduced in the United States?" ”

"It's hard to say whether it will succeed or not, but I have friends in the United States, so it's much easier." Ginter used to study in the United States, and he had many friends and was easy to do. Guike is preparing to introduce Fokker production line equipment to produce Guike cars, if it can be introduced, then the manufacturing cost and production time of the car will be greatly reduced.

But the question is, will someone else sell it to you?

If you sell the assembly line to you, your company's cars will be much cheaper, and in this way, the market competitiveness of Fokker cars will be greatly reduced.

"We prepared with both hands, and while talking, we studied our own automobile assembly line production equipment." Hitler touched his nose and thought, he had little hope for the introduction of equipment, and he could only study it himself, although this would inevitably lead to a wrong road, but there was no way.

"So what about the small radio that we asked Siemens to develop." Hitler asked again that they had contacted Siemens to develop a miniaturized radio, and that Hitler had paid Siemens a large amount of money for research.

Having a radio in the car is another big buying point for Greker Automobile.

"It's still under development, and it may take a while." Dembuch, who is in charge of this, said that when it comes to researching technology, sometimes a flash of light in the soul and an unexpected discovery can make a major breakthrough. Sometimes, in the face of a scientific research problem, it is possible that there is no progress at all in the research that does not eat or sleep for decades.

"For automobiles, to carry forward the fine tradition of our German nation, to be the best nation, to produce the best products, we are not comparable to Daimler and Mercedes-Benz in engine technology, there is no Opel cost-effective, even not as good as many car companies sophisticated technology and manufacturing level, we have little experience, if we want to grow rapidly we must have our own characteristics, for this feature, I hope the first point is cheap, so that all German workers can afford it. The second is that the quality is good, and it can be used for 50 years without maintenance, and I don't want foreigners to say that our German Noble cars are inferior goods. ”

Quality has been deeply implanted in the minds of Germans in this century. More than 40 years ago, after the reunification of Germany, the economy needed to take off and the world market was not easy to enter, and British industry was highly developed and became the benchmark of world science and technology. In contrast, Germany is a developing agricultural country, and its science and technology are almost half a century behind.

Germany's backward science and technology coupled with market rules, the goods of their own enterprises can not be sold, so they have to sell counterfeit and shoddy goods to the British, for a long time, they were naturally despised by the British, and were called "brazen" by the British, and finally the British can no longer tolerate this despicable means of the Germans, British entrepreneurs launched a boycott of German products, they launched a boycott of German goods in London, requiring all products from Germany to be labeled "Made in Germany".

Later, the British Parliament enacted a law that required all German products to enter the British mainland or colonial market with the "Made in Germany" seal.

At this moment, the sleeping Germans were awakened, and they felt unprecedented shame from this "Made in Germany", and since then they have been catching up, vigorously supporting education, attaching importance to talents, and paying attention to quality, thus changing everyone's thinking that German goods are equal to counterfeit and shoddy, and finally even led the second industrial revolution.

From brazen to excellent, the Germans only took more than ten years, more than ten years ago, "Made in Germany", representing counterfeit and shoddy, more than ten years later, "Made in Germany" is like a steaming cake, favored by countries all over the world.
