Chapter Twenty-Six: The Beginning of the Masses
In major European ports and cities, Volkswagen trucks are coming out of the line like the morning sun. There are disdainful, there are recognized, and there are those who wait and see, which is no less than a thunderclap for the European automobile manufacturing industry now, and almost everyone is discussing the price of this truck. The selling price of £185 was as surprising as a nuclear bomb attack for a car factory that is now almost entirely handmade. At present, the vast majority of automobile manufacturers are workshop-style manufacturing, and it is considered a conscientious manufacturer to be able to achieve twice the price.
In Germany, Carl Benz and his assistant Ludesmann are discussing the Volkswagen van. "It's incredible, how they managed to make money at this price." The assistant Ludesmann still didn't figure it out, "Ludesmann, this is a problem that only God and the crown prince know." Carl Benz, who is in his 60s, rarely speaks quips to his assistants.
"We also bought one of the trucks, and after dismantling them, we carefully estimated them. According to our production, the cost of 200 pounds is the limit. The assistant continued. I have already sent someone to Romania to investigate, and I am sure that I will soon know their methods. Carl Benz comforted his assistant.
"Your Highness, our trucks are selling very well in Europe, and the first 3,000 trucks on the market have been sold out for only a week. Your Highness, we have now adjusted our estimate of European trucks, and due to the excellence of our trucks, it is now expected that there should be a demand of 35,000 units in Europe, and the long-term target should be about 30W units" Marketing Manager Francisco said the good news to Eder, and Eder's hanging heart relaxed. Before the results came out, no matter how good the expectations were, Eder couldn't put his mind at ease. After all, this is the pillar industry that the crown prince chose for Romania, and it is related to whether his plan can be successfully implemented.
"Then now you have to speed up production and occupy this Europe."
Volkswagen's general manager Minoba replied. "Rest assured, I've arranged for workers to work overtime to complete it." Minoba was Eder's handpicked man from the royal estate, the most successful and loyal of the royal estate. The request for the crown prince was also met at the first time, and Eder was very satisfied with him, so he put him in the position of his greatest concern, which can also show the importance he attaches to Minoba.
"Are you having trouble?" Edel asked.
"We already have 2,000 people in training and will soon be able to meet the demand. Recently, a lot of people have come to ask us about the production steps of our workers. Minoba replied and explained some of the recent situation to the crown prince.
"Don't worry." Eder is not really worried about his large industrial processing line, which requires a large investment and vision for the future of automobiles. As long as you dump Dongfeng trucks all over Europe, it is the biggest obstacle for latecomers. Eder is also afraid that if he meets a master who is not afraid of spending money, he will use money to smash a path. Only saturating the market is the greatest protection for oneself.
The two executives walked out of the palace after reporting to the crown prince, and Lancisco said angrily to Minoba. "Oh my God, now our factory is completely out of production, and orders are flying everywhere. Your 2,000 people were recruited yesterday, what can they do? You said no problem. "Minoba's anger at his sales manager is like she can't see it at all." Rest assured, I'll get them up to speed in no time. After saying that, Minoba also tidied up his beautiful clothes.
Back in Constanta, Minoba quickly proved himself worthy of Eder's attention, and the 2,000 new recruits were assigned to outstanding workers with one each, and they checked the skills of new employees every day. Three days later, the old employees took it, the worst 100 warnings, two warnings were fired, and after another three days, the new and old employees did it together, and four days later the new recruits had been integrated into the factory.
In the evening at the Volkswagen factory, Sodaval and his friends had just gotten off work and returned to their dormitory with an exhausted look. "Finally I don't have to be so tired." Nisiddle complained to his friend, "But we make more money, Nisiddle don't complain, who said it would make money in the beginning." His friend's complaint provoked a backlash from Sodavar.
"I'm saying, Sodavar, don't you let people speak?" Nisidell began to complain about his friend, "Hey, Nisidell wants something happy to do, it's going to be paid tomorrow, how are you going to spend it?" Sodavar succeeded in diverting the subject, and Nisidel began to gush on and on about his plans to spend money.
"I'm going to save 40 lei and the rest to go around the city and find a good meal at a food shop. I heard that there are many young ladies on Blotnerstrasse, and I plan to check them out. When talking about the young lady, Nissidel's eyes lit up, saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he had an expression of excess hormones.
"We've been training and we've been working since then, so where did you know there are so many young ladies on Blotnerstraße?" Sodavar asked his friend a little confused.
"It's Morse who is in the same workshop as me when I say it."
Sodavar knew that this man boasted that he had cared for half of the young lady in Constanta, and he had to say it again when he saw everyone, and Sodaval didn't like him at all. "Sodavar, how are you going to spend your salary?" Sodavar saw his friend ask about him, so he had to tell the truth. "Give 60 lei to my family, and save the rest to go back and buy some good clothes for my younger brothers and sisters. You know, my family is more difficult, so I can only take care of it a little more. ”
"Sodavar, you're being too yourself, how about I ask you to go with you if you don't get paid?" Nissidell wanted to help his friend when he heard about his friend's plans. "Nissidel, it's okay, after all, it's your own money." Sodavar said with some hesitation, the 17-year-old boy was full of curiosity after all. "That's it, we'll take a vacation tomorrow and go out together to see life in the big city." Nissidel saw his friend's hesitation and helped him make up his mind. Seeing his friend's insistence, Sodawar half-agreed with a half-push, and the two soon fell asleep in their longing for a better tomorrow.
