"Young master, can you sell 10 million Airflow cars?" Back at the hotel in the evening, He Yongyuan asked Situ Nan privately.
"Of course." Situ Nan shook the newspaper and smiled confidently, and the Detroit Auto Industry Newspaper published a large number of pictures of Chrysler's new cars, and the eye-catching headline reads - Civilian cars, Chrysler Airflow has replaced the Model T to become the new favorite of Americans!
The sales of a car depends on the people it is targeting, and the Ford Model T gave Situ Nan a great encouragement, and the Chrysler Airflow brand cars were designed for ordinary American families, and when people gradually got tired of the humble Model T, the stylish and inexpensive Airflow cars gradually became the first choice for American families.
"Although the price is a little more expensive, even two or three times that of the Model T, the American economy will usher in a big boom, more and more families will become richer, and their purchasing power will increase.
Chrysler also took advantage of Ford's product upgrades before it took the lead, and by the time Ford came to its senses, our cars had firmly occupied the market. ”
Situ Nan said with a smile.
In the days that followed, the airflow car continued to be popular, making headlines in major newspapers, and the streamlined body spread throughout major cities in the United States, fiercely stimulating the attention of Americans, and people were looking forward to it.
The radio station's promotion of the Airflow car was not weak, and the praise of the new car by the eloquent host drew the attention of listeners as far away as Chrysler, who immediately flipped through the newspaper to catch a glimpse of the Airflow.
Chrysler Corporation held a huge celebration banquet with parts manufacturers in Detroit and dealers from all over the country.
In addition, there is also a heavyweight guest - Secretary of Commerce Herbert? Hoover, under the promotion of the Ministry of Commerce, hundreds of U.S. automakers led by Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler have reached automobile manufacturing industry standards, which are compatible with U.S. highway traffic regulations and highway construction standards.
"Uniform industry standards for the U.S. auto industry are also great benefits to Chrysler, and good things have helped us catch up."
Richard smiled softly at Situ Nan, and the two clinked glasses and drank each other. Not far from them, the president of the Chrysler Corporation, Walter ? Chrysler was giving an impassioned speech on stage, fluorescent flashes, and reporters in the audience kept pressing the shutter. The scene is more lively than Hollywood movie stars.
With this battle, Chrysler will completely change Americans' impression of him, and Chrysler is not only good at producing reliable and durable Dodge trucks, but also good at making cute and stylish sedans that seep into their minds like airstreams. Hehe. Situ Nan commented with a smile.
In just one week, Chrysler was blowing in the United States, and Chrysler spent $500,000 on advertising in major media. More than 3,000 dealers were organized in major cities across the United States to stage a good scene of pre-sale.
Sure enough, under the attention of everyone, Walter announced on the stage: "There is good news just now, the number of pre-sales of Airflow brand cars has reached 100,000!"
"It seems that the banks will have to lend not only to Chrysler, but also to car buyers." Richard smiled, looked at Situ Nan, and looked at Situ Nan as if he was asking-this idea is feasible, right?
"Of course. Banks should provide financial services to their customers, and auto finance is a good choice. ”
Situ Nan nodded, automobiles and real estate are the largest consumer markets in the United States. Even if you go back in time to 2000, banks will not miss out on the huge market.
For example, Wells Fargo, which has always been mainly commercial loans, has gradually focused on personal credit business in recent years, providing loans to more and more Americans to support them to buy cars, houses and other consumer goods, and the number of related customers has grown to 50,000, involving up to $30 million.
The business is growing rapidly, and in the Pittsburgh area, a consortium of banks with Mellon National Bank at the core has also launched this business, and they are all optimistic about the broad prospects of the automotive industry.
Even the traditionally high-ranking Morgan firm recently bought a stake in General Motors, causing a lot of concern among the DuPont family. Each other is competing.
Richard was glad to be able to buy 10% of Chrysler's shares from Situ Nan, although it was worth losing some of Alcoa and Goodyear Tire Company.
"Hey! Congratulations, Chrysler Corporation has done a great job. I looked at the car and was very impressed. "Frank, president of the Goodyear Tire Company? Hiberlin saw Stuart and Richard talking. He walked over with a smile.
"Mr. William, it's a pleasure to see you." Xiberlin nodded kindly to Situ Nan.
Although he had frequent business dealings, Xiberlin was not very familiar with Situ Nan's partner, but he knew that Situ Nan was definitely a more ruthless person than Richard.
"Isn't Chrysler's success also Goodyear's success? No matter which car company makes money, there is always a share of Goodyear. ”
Situ Nan had a drink in Berlin, and taking a stake in Goodyear, the world's largest rubber manufacturing company, was definitely a matter of a thousand miles.
"Yes, our common victory!" Xi Berlin glanced at Situ Nan, he always felt a little mysterious, secretly vigilant in his heart, but his face was very friendly.
The Goodyear Company, named in honor of Mr. Goodyear, the engineer who invented vulcanized rubber, is actually controlled by the Sheebin family, and is now infiltrated by the Mellon family and their son-in-law Situ Nan, and more than half of the shares have fallen into the hands of outsiders. Now that Goodyear is growing rapidly, the Hiberin family has been worried about being replaced.
"A common victory? You can say that again! Situ Nan didn't know the other party's vigilance and said with a smile. Thinking that Cummins Power was developing a ** tractor, he said casually: "Mr. Xiberin, Cummins wants to drive a ** tractor and replace the bulky tracks with strong and durable tires, I don't know if Goodyear has any related technology?" ”
Wheeled tractors? Cummins Inc.?
Hiberlin was secretly overjoyed, and suddenly thought of the newly formed Pete Kahler Company in Chicago.
The other side wants to put wheels on heavy machinery such as tractors and bulldozers in the United States!
Schiepin thought sensitively and immediately realized the business opportunity.
"Of course! We're sure. Just give us a little bit of time. Hiberin confidently assured.
"Okay." Situ Nan nodded, believing in the strength of the Goodyear consensus.
In addition to car tires, aircraft tires, rubber tubes and other rubber products are Goodyear's strengths, it is also too difficult to design and produce tires for heavy-duty aircraft.
Situ Nan exchanged a few words with Xiberlin and reminded Xiberlin to contact Pitchaler. Speaking of the rubber factory in Nanhua, West Berlin told Situ Nan with some complaints that Qianyi Company and Acorn International had grabbed a lot of market from Goodyear Tire Company in the rubber market.
Situ Nan smiled but did not speak, and secretly applauded in his heart, Qianyi Company was founded by Chen Jiageng, and Acorn International was controlled by Meihua Company, they are the head snake of Nanhua, and it is normal to seize the rubber products market after introducing Goodyear's rubber technology. Of course, Nanhua's rubber products are mainly low-value-added rubber tubes, shoes, raincoats, etc., which will not affect Goodyear, and the U.S. auto market alone will bring hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue to Goodyear.
The next time you see Tan Kah Kee, remember to remind the development of high value-added tire industry. Situ Nan thought secretly in his heart.
Richard's popularity is much higher than that of Situ Nan, and as the star of the Mellon family, he is the central figure everywhere he goes. As soon as he talked to Situ Nan for a while, someone came over to entertain.
Situ Nan lingered for a while, and Situ Nan left, leaving Richard and Hiberin to continue talking. Instead, he went into the room and continued the meeting with Hoover.
(If you have something to do at night, let's write so much first!) I'm sorry. (To be continued) RQ
