Christmas Day December 25, 1980
"This is the Duchy of Nord? What a beautiful beach! ”
In the port of Nord, a Spanish passenger ship resounded with the laughter of little girls, but at any time there were different voices mixed in, such as at this time......
"It's just a pile of broken sand, what's so beautiful."
"Agata shut up!"
"Sharma, don't talk to your uncle like that!"
"He's not my uncle, huh!"
Naturally, this group was Joseph's cousin, the family of Count Singara, and of course one more of his brother-in-law, Monsieur Agata from Spain.
"Welcome to Nord, honorable Count Singla!"
There are three black Audis parked in the harbor, and the beautiful models successfully attract the attention of tourists in the harbor, but the black-clothed people around the vehicles block their approach, and can only point and show envy from a short distance.
Joseph did not come to disappoint Singara, but seeing the beautiful Audi Singhella completely forgot the disappointment in his heart, and warmly hugged the butler Abner, but his eyes completely fell on the Audi not far away.
This time he came to Nord because of Audi, originally he thought that why the European general agent was just a reason for Joseph to send him at will, but who wants to ......
Count Singla still remembers the fact that when several new Audi style cars were mailed by Audi, the comfortable assembly line body, beautiful silver, bright red, and black kept him awake all night.
As a businessman, Count Singla understands what the European general agent means, not to mention, each car has a profit of $100, then the whole of Europe can at least digest 100,000 vehicles, how much is 100,000 vehicles? That's a full 10 million dollars!
Of course, it will take at least a year or even more than a year for the $10 million to arrive, but so what? You must know that before all the assets of Count Singela added up to only tens of thousands of dollars, and most of them were fixed assets.
From that moment on, Singhella understood one thing, and that was to hold Joseph's thighs tightly, because it would bring him a thousand, ten thousand times the gain. Of course, he also needs to be careful not to make Joseph feel that he is a threat, even the slightest bit.
Perhaps it was the black-clad guards who frightened Agata and Sharma, who had not continued to quarrel since disembarking, and quietly followed Singla and his wife into the car towards the palace.
Along the way, Salma blinked his big curious eyes and looked out the window, the red roads of unknown materials, neat and beautiful apartments, leisure pedestrians, fruit trees on both sides of the road benches, cleaning workers flashing from time to time, taxis, and buses made Salma like this place for the first time.
Although the first batch of college students has not yet graduated, the works of the fashion design department have begun to show on the streets, fashion is the synonym of the North City at this time, at least Salma has never seen such beautiful clothes, compared to the citizens of Nord she is an ugly duckling, although she looks very beautiful.
Clothing can give people confidence, and this is the case with Nord citizens at this time, even workers who have just arrived and have not yet become a member of the Nord Principality, they will unconsciously exude pride and pride when facing tourists. Because compared with the glamorous ones, tourists from all over the world are turtles.
According to the new data in November, 30% of the economy of the Principality of Nord comes from clothing, and this data is rising rapidly, a large number of designers and clothing dealers from various countries come to Nord, and Nord has replaced Paris as the fashion capital for a while.
The Duke's clock, seeing the sign not far away, Salma couldn't help but exclaim, not for anything else, because there was a Duke's daughter in their school who wore a watch of this brand, and it was said that it cost a full $30.000 to buy at that time, which was a huge amount of money at this time, especially in Europe.
With the take-off of the Nord economy, all kinds of luxury goods began to appear in the Nord shopping street, but now only a little is emerging, such as the Duke's clocks, all kinds of clothing are only a small part of the outside, Joseph plans to build a Nord Royal Road in the central district in the near future, which is the real paradise of luxury.
Of course, Joseph does not deny that this is an imitation of the Avenue de la Champs-Richet in Paris, but what is imitation? If the Avenue of Luxuries of the Nord Royal Mile is more famous than the Champs Elysees, then perhaps it would not be convenient to hang on Joseph the term imitation.
Sharma told her relatives what she knew, and sure enough, it caused a small exclamation from the Countess Singla, and even Agatta, who had always behaved very proudly, couldn't help but look at surprise in his eyes, maybe he couldn't imagine why a small country that was unknown a few years ago could have changed so much at this time.
Count Singla was also surprised, but after being surprised, he was even more determined in his inner decision, he must hug Joseph's thigh tightly, and in a trance he even saw the scene of Joseph standing at the top of Europe.
It didn't take long for the car to drive into the palace, and after seeing the Nord streets outside, and then seeing the ordinary royal palace, such a strong contrast obviously made Singa and his party a little unaccustomed.
"Lord Earl, Your Highness is still in Nancheng District and has not returned, you have had lunch with your wife first, and then someone will accompany you to watch, and Your Highness will come back to have dinner with you in the evening."
The butler Abner explained Joseph's whereabouts in detail, but even so, the countess still felt that Joseph was a little rude, after all, Singhella was Joseph's cousin, and there was no reason to leave the guests aside.
Count Singhella also noticed his wife's resentment, but he waited for her to look at her unexpectedly instead of fooling around with her, and the countess was also a smart person, thinking of everything she saw on the road, and her mind slowly calmed down.
Sharma didn't feel anything, he was very happy to look at the flowers and plants around the palace, compared to the more mature Agata had a completely different idea in his heart from others, he envied Joseph's power, he could do his own things as he wanted without caring about other people's ideas, not only that, but other people had to adapt to him, such power undoubtedly made Agata intoxicated.
What is Joseph doing at this time? In the office building of Audi, Joseph sat in the president's office chair and waited for the sales in various major cities in Europe and the United States.
Times Square Neighborhood, Manhattan, New York:
"What kind of car is this, it's so beautiful!"
"Audi A1, $13.000, so expensive!"
"Audi, the Duchy of Nord, the country where the eight-year-old boy is the ruler?"
Because of the previous agreement with the United States to lease many streets in the United States as temporary exhibition venues, this unique exhibition was not destroyed by the police, but if it were not for the new cars are really beautiful, I believe that this crowded street will attract quite a lot of complaints.
It is not easy for Audi to go to the United States to sell, what is the United States, the country controlled by the consortium, the arrival of Audi is equivalent to infringing on the interests of some local consortiums, and it is strange that they do not secretly sabotage.
In fact, this is also Joseph's luck, behind this president are chemical businessmen, they have a certain competitive relationship with GM, Ford and other consortia, especially Joseph's concessions have been recognized by a group of grassroots sellers, which has the opportunity for Audi to enter the United States.
Of course, the most important reason is that behemoths like Ford and GM ignore it, they didn't expect Audi to be so popular, directly squeezing out more than 30% of their market volume.
In just a few hours, 60,000 units of Audi A1 were sold out in more than 100 cities in the United States, which can indicate that a new era of transportation is coming, a new era in appearance.
40,000 units in European countries and 60,000 units in the United States, 100,000 units have been sold out in just over half a day, and the collection rate of Audi has reached 800 (million US dollars), excluding 60 percent of the labor and material arrears, and the net profit has reached 320 (million US dollars).
There is a lot of money, but Joseph can only watch and can't move, heavy industry is undoubtedly the industry that presses the most funds, and then Audi will inevitably increase annual production across the board, and these profits are only enough for labor and half of the cost of materials, and the rest is either on credit or loans from various countries, but I believe that with this sales, no bank will be stupid to refuse.
