"Cars! Car! We want cars! ”

"We want cars ......"

Listening to the bustling voices outside the 4S store, the black line on George's forehead has not dissipated. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he had long anticipated that the Model E would be a bestseller, whether it was the factory's design, its comfort, or its price, her fate could only be to sell well.

But George didn't expect that the sales of the Model E would be so hot.

There were 5,000 cars, and the factory hired nearly 20 special trains to transport them to New York, and distributed them evenly to each car, and the transportation cost alone was nearly 50 US dollars.

Coupled with some miscellaneous expenses, even the cost of the 4S store is also included, the cost of each car is about 600 US dollars, excluding taxes, that is, for every car sold, the profit of the factory will be about 500 US dollars.

Of course, these costs and profits George naturally did not know, he only knew that if he did not come forward to explain, the situation was likely to get out of control.

And once something happens to the customers outside, then his 4S store will be shut down by the New York City government.

Once the 4S store is stopped, the loss will be very heavy.

"Aaron, hasn't the company given an accurate reply yet?" George asked anxiously, the situation was out of his control, and he couldn't reply to those outside until he got an accurate reply from the company.

Besides, the chief of the New York Police Department is now sitting in the 4S shop, both on business and private, but George has no way to talk to the director.

"Manager, the company has just given a reply, the next batch of cars will arrive about tonight, but there are not many of them, only one special train, two hundred cars." Aaron scratched his head and replied.

"Damn, what are 200 cars for? The guys out there are going to tear me apart. What about other cars? George scolded fiercely, if he had known that this would be the scene, he should have rented more space for car storage.

"The second batch of cars will arrive in three days, there are two special trains, about 400 or so, the company has given us an accurate reply, before the end of the month, we can only get a maximum of 8,000 cars, this is when there are no problems with transportation." Aaron said.

Eight thousand? Is this the remaining total for the month?

If it had been before today, George would have thought they were crazy to send so many cars here, but now, in just one morning, plus two hours in the afternoon, five thousand cars were sold out.

Far from decreasing, the crowd outside is increasing, and even many citizens from the surrounding areas are rushing here.

What's worse is that the New York Police Commissioner is also here to negotiate, and he hopes to order a batch of police cars, but he definitely can't buy them at the current price.

Although the price of the E-type car is already very low, after all, it is a government procurement, and it is necessary to bargain the price.

George wasn't sure if the company would accept the customization or if it would give them a discount.

Tell the company about the NYPD and let them give us an accurate answer, and I'll go out now to stabilize the situation outside.

……

At the same time, Henry Ford, the head of Ford Motors, did not stay in the factory, but in Washington, which is not too far from New York.

After Ford's sales on the first day came out, Ford officially handed over his greetings to the president.

This is a plan formulated by Wang Sirui himself, because he has already met the best-selling E-type car, so Ford has arrived here as early as yesterday, and with the help of Roukeyi's network, he can directly contact the President of the United States.

"Sir, Henry Ford, the founder of Ford Motor Motors, has sent you a message of greetings, hoping to be received by you to discuss the possibility of cooperation between the two sides." President Theodore Roosevelt's secretary gently pushed the office open, placed a letter of worship on the desk, and asked respectfully.

"Ford? I don't have time to meet him, and if the government wants to cooperate, they can contact Lens, and don't look for me next time. Theodore Roosevelt frowned slightly, a little angry.

A businessman, who is not very financially strong, is not entitled to his reception. Although Ford has been making a name for itself lately, so what?

The other, mainly because his secretary would send such a message to his desk, and it was obvious that he would not dare to do it if he did not get the benefit.

Indeed, Henry Ford had already given him benefits, and because of the sensitivity of his position, he did not dare to accept property directly, so the advantage that Henry Ford gave him was that he had ten places to buy a car, and these ten places could buy a Ford car for only five hundred dollars.

Counting the cost, it means that Ford loses freight for every car sold, but Ford doesn't care about that.

"Sir, I think you'd better meet him. Ford's new Model E is selling well and went on sale at 8 a.m. this morning, and by two hours before the stock of 20,000 cars in four stores was sold out, and thousands more people were gathered there to buy them.

And I've seen this car too, and to be honest, the regular version of the car they launched is more luxurious than your car, and the important thing is that the whole car is only priced at $1,166, according to this price, excluding their cost, although I don't know exactly how much the cost is, but today in one day, they have generated hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax revenue for the government.

If this situation can continue for half a year, then the government will receive tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue. And, as far as I know, there are quite a few people in our White House who want to buy this car, and it would be very helpful for you if you could negotiate an internal price for them, President. ”

Roosevelt was stunned, can cars sell 20,000 units a day? Are you kidding?

According to statistics, so far, there are less than 8,000 cars in the United States, and nearly one-third of them are procured by the government.

Although the price is very low, listening to the secretary's words, it seems that the market evaluation is not low at all.

More importantly, if it can bring more tax revenue to the government, if it can be stabilized, or if it can continue to expand, then it will be a good opportunity for Roosevelt.

"I only have ten minutes." After considering the pros and cons, Roosevelt finally decided to meet this Henry Ford.

……

"Thank you, Mr. President, for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with me, and I am confident that this conversation will satisfy both of us. First of all, please take a look at this information, and then we will move on. Henry Ford handed Roosevelt a copy of the document.

A middle-aged man walked up to him and looked at the document with Roosevelt.

As president, Roosevelt had no problem accepting visits from businessmen during working hours, but they had to be supervised before they could be met, and the content of the meetings had to be recorded and archived to prevent scandals.

Roosevelt looked at the document, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, and his hands even trembled faintly.

Ford currently produces 300,000 vehicles a year and is preparing to expand its production capacity in three months, which will reach 1.2 million units a year after the expansion is completed.

The manufacturing cost of Ford cars is 500 US dollars, the transportation cost is about 50 US dollars, plus 4S shops, wear and tear, the cost of each car is about 600 US dollars.

In other words, the net profit of a car is around five hundred and sixty-six dollars.

But the government doesn't care what your net profit is, and the current tax system in the United States is also very imperfect, for example, the retail industry does not need to pay taxes, and all taxes must be paid by the factory.

Moreover, the standard of taxation is not paid according to your profits, but according to the selling price of the product, which is generally 1% to 9.5%, and the specific amount should be set according to the amount of profit.

Even if Ford's profit per car is less than double, but it is nearly double, then their tax point should be about seven percent.

It is 7 percent of 1166, that is, his previous secretary still said that it was less, and Ford Motor needs to pay about $1.6 million in taxes just for one day today.

Even if they pay so many taxes, their profits can still be maintained at more than 8 million US dollars, which is only one day, and if they can sell 20,000 cars every day this month, then the US government will be able to get more than 50 million tax revenues this month.

What is this concept? This is an existence that no one can refuse, not even Roosevelt himself, who did not have the courage to offend him.

"Congratulations, Mr. Ford, on your success, and your contributions to the American people will be remembered in history." Roosevelt congratulated him that he had to settle for the newly rising 'chaebol' in front of him.

"Thank you, Mr. President, for your commendation, and Ford will do its best to contribute to the construction of the motherland. Today, I have come to meet Mr. President mainly for two things.

The first thing is to seek cooperation with the U.S. government, in the past, because of the lack of technology, coupled with the price factor, the result is that the car is difficult to be widely promoted, but now there is no such problem, so we are willing to sell a batch of official cars to the government at the price of 800 US dollars each.

Of course, we lost a lot of profits, so we also hope that Mr. President will allow us to be tax-free for this batch of cars. ”

Roosevelt nodded in agreement, obviously he could earn five hundred, but now he only earns more than two hundred, if the tax is collected according to the prescribed tax point, then it is undoubtedly a little too much.

Ford's offer was not unacceptable, at least Roosevelt felt it was appropriate.

"I need to apply to Congress for this! However, I personally agree with this plan. ”

"The second thing is to hope that the president will allow the railway department to give our company more quotas, as the production capacity increases, transportation has become the biggest burden for our company, and there are a lot of cars for sale in the factory that cannot reach customers because of transportation.

Waiting, often the most painful, I believe that with the self-purchased transportation capacity, we may even double the amount of taxes, of course, a large amount of transportation can also bring a certain profit to the railway sector, which is a win-win cooperation. (To be continued.) )
