It's been a week since the last global release of the Benz One, and both the British Empire and the German Empire's partners, as well as the Bentz, Diesel and Arthur have been looking forward to the actual sales volume of the Benz One.

Although everyone understands that the first week of sales is more about opening up the market, it is only after the first people who buy a car that they taste the sweetness that more people will take action.

But after all, this is also a simultaneous sale on a global scale, and the main sales areas are the most developed and prosperous regions like the United States and Europe.

This also makes people have certain expectations for the sales volume of Benzone, at least in the case of certain advantages in performance and price, the sales share of Benzone will not necessarily be low.

You know, the three-wheeled "bicycle" invented by Benz at that time earned more than 2,000 sales in Germany alone.

This kind of bicycle is actually a version of Bentz's previous invention of the car's performance, and because it is still handmade, the price has not been reduced much.

In this way, two or three thousand expensive cars can be sold, and the Benzone with further upgraded performance and lower price is naturally more expected.

February 25, 1903, Benz Automobile Factory, Sydney, Australia.

After a day-long report and statistics, all points of sale finally sent the previous week's sales data back to the headquarters, which is the Benz car plant in Australia.

At this time, Arthur and Benz and Diesel were already looking forward to it, looking at Benz and Diesel's new inventions, while patiently waiting for the final statistical results.

After a long time, the employees of the car factory finally interrupted the conversation between the three of them, which also means that the sales data of the first week of Benzone has finally been summarized.

Arthur was the first to get the data, so he naturally flipped through it unceremoniously.

A total of 32,000 pre-production vehicles were sold globally in nine locations in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Australia.

Sales at the nine points of sale were mixed, but overall they were good.

The point of sale with the highest number of cars sold in the previous week was the point of sale located in New York, USA.

This point of sale is also the point of sale where pre-production cars have the most. Most of the cars produced at the Benz Automotive Plant in Australia are shipped to the United States, where they are sold at points of sale in the United States.

The sales office in New York, USA, also lived up to expectations, with 630 units in the first week.

The second largest point of sale was the London point of sale in the British Empire. The British Empire sold cars about the same as the United States, reaching just over 600.

Next up was the sales point in Berlin, the capital of the German Empire, where the Germans contributed 520 units to the Benzone.

France followed with nearly 400 units sold.

The rest of Austria-Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands and Australia, as well as Spain, did not have too high sales, and the combined share of sales in these countries was just over that of the United States.

Globally, the Benzone sold 2,700 units in its first week, making it one of the most sold cars.

Yes, just 2,700 sales are enough to make the Benzone one of the most sold models, which is also the biggest dilemma and problem faced by the car market before.

"Your Highness, we succeeded!" Benz and Diesel also saw the completed data one after another, and said to Arthur with a happy face.

The reason why they were willing to travel thousands of miles from Germany to Australia was to rely on the large amount of research money that Arthur promised them, to devote their own efforts to the cause of automobiles and engines, and to make the whole industry imprint.

So far, they've taken the first step, and Benzone has made a name for itself in the automotive market, with the world's best-selling car on the horizon.

"Well, well done, Mr. Bentz, Mr. Diesel. The first week was just a market development for Benzone and the automotive industry as a whole, and I believe that our car sales will be higher and higher. I will fulfill my promise that this time 10% of the revenue of the car factory and the engine factory will belong to you. Arthur nodded and said with a smile.

Although the sales in the first week may not seem that much, it is actually quite a lot of revenue.

According to the current production costs of major factories, the profit of a car is about forty to fifty pounds.

Although it is not yet possible to control production costs and profits at about 1 to 1 like Australian factories, that is already a very exaggerated figure.

The first week's sales of 2,700 represent a net profit of at least £120,000, and although this profit needs to be shared with its partners in England and Germany, the car factory in Benz will be able to make at least £50,000 to 60,000 in net profit.

The profit in a week is between 50,000 and 60,000 pounds, a month is at least 200,000 pounds, and a year's profit is a horrific 2.4 million pounds.

That's not a small number, it's even enough to launch two Braunschweig-class battleships.

What's more, the number of sales in the first week must be less than later, because there are a large number of people who are already excited and waiting for the movement of those who have already bought cars.

If they get good feedback, they will turn their hearts into actions and become users of Benzone.

This length of time varies, but it can take at least weeks or even months.

This also means that in the automotive industry, there is still a large market waiting to be explored, and the market and sales volume that has been revealed now is only the tip of the iceberg.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Benz and Diesel hurriedly saluted and thanked him.

A tenth of the cut is also a lot of income for them, and this money is enough to accumulate to make them world-class rich.

Although research is more important than anything else in their eyes, who would refuse to take the income for nothing without hindering it?

"Now that the sales of the Benzone meet expectations, it is also time to develop a new series of cars." Arthur smiled mysteriously, took a blueprint from the guard's hand, and handed it to the two of them.

"Your Highness, what is this?" The two took the drawings and were immediately attracted by the shape of the car drawn on the drawings.

This is a completely different design from the current car, with a huge cabin in the back half of the body, which also means that the purpose of the new series of cars is to carry goods rather than people.

"It's a whimsy of mine, horse-drawn carriages can carry both people and goods, so why can't our cars? This drawing is my idea, and you can see if there is any hope of realizing it and producing it in the first place. Arthur said with a smile.

Today's automobiles are just small passenger cars, and large cargo vehicles have not yet been born.

Of course, this is also because the current car engine and car technology are not mature.

Even small passenger vehicles cannot be fully commercialized, let alone large and more stable.

The second more, ask for support!
