Rise of Australia

Chapter 160 Conception of Trucks

It has been a week since the last global release of Benz ONE. Whether it is the partners of the British Empire and the German Empire or Benz, Diesel and Arthur, they are already looking forward to the actual sales of Benz ONE. .

Although everyone understands that the first week of sales is more about opening up the market, only after the first batch of car buyers have tasted the sweetness will more people take action.

But after all, this is also a simultaneous global sales, and the main sales areas are the most developed and prosperous areas such as the United States and Europe.

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

You know, at that time, the three-wheeled "bicycle" invented by Benz achieved sales of more than 2000 in Germany alone.

This so-called bicycle is actually a reduced version of the performance of the car that Benz invented before, and because it is still produced by hand, the price has not been reduced much.

Such an expensive car can sell two to three thousand units, and the Benz one with further upgraded performance and lower price is naturally more exciting.

February 1903, 2, Sydney, Australia, Benz Motor Works.

After a day-long report and statistics, all the sales outlets finally sent the sales data of the previous week back to the headquarters, which is the Benz Automobile Factory in Australia.

In the automobile factory at this time, Arthur, Benz and Diesel had already been looking forward to it. While watching the new inventions of Benz and Diesel, they waited patiently for the final statistical results.

After a long time, the employees of the automobile factory finally interrupted the conversation of the three, which also means that the sales data of the first week of Benz One has finally been summarized.

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

Benz One's global synchronous sales this time have a total of nine sales points in the United States, Britain, France, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Australia, with a total of 3 pre-production cars.

The sales situation of the nine outlets has been mixed, but overall it has been regarded as good.

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

This outlet is also where pre-production cars have the most sales.Most of the cars produced at the Benz Motor Works in Australia are shipped to the United States for sale at American outlets.

The sales point in New York, USA also lived up to expectations, and achieved a good result of 630 vehicles in the first week.

The second largest point of sale is the London point of sale in the British Empire.The number of cars sold in the British Empire is almost the same as that in the United States, reaching just over six hundred.

Next is the sales point in Berlin, the capital of the German Empire. The Germans said that Benz One contributed 520 vehicles.

France followed closely with nearly [-] sales.

The remaining Austro-Hungarian Empire, Italy, the Netherlands and Australia, as well as Spain, did not have very high sales, and the sales share of these countries combined only just surpassed that of the United States.

Globally, the sales volume of Benz One reached [-] in the first week, which seems to have become one of the most sold models of cars.

Yes, the sales volume of only [-] is enough to make Benz one one of the models with the largest number of car sales, 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 statistics one after another, and said to Arthur with joyful faces.

The reason why they are willing to travel thousands of miles from Germany to Australia is that they want to rely on the large amount of research funding that Arthur promised them, to make their own efforts in the cause of automobiles and engines, and to make their own mark on the entire industry.

From the current point of view, they have succeeded in the first step. Benz One has established a reputation in the automobile market, and it is just around the corner to become the world's highest-selling car.

"Well, well done, Mr. Benz, Mr. Diesel. The first week is just to open up the market for Benz one and the entire auto industry. I believe our car sales will be higher and higher. I will fulfill my promise Promise, [-]% of the income of the automobile factory and the engine factory will belong to you." Arthur nodded and said with a smile.

Although the sales volume in the first week does not seem to be that much, it is actually a lot of income.

According to the current production costs of major factories, the profit of a car is about [-] to [-] pounds.

Although it is still impossible to control the production cost and profit at about 1:1 like the Australian factory, that is already a very exaggerated figure.

The sales volume of 12 in the first week also represents a net profit of at least [-] pounds. Although this profit needs to be shared with the partners in the UK and Germany, Benz's car factory can also earn at least [-] to [-] pounds. Pounds of my profit.

A week's profit reached 20 to 240 pounds, a month's profit was at least [-] pounds, and a year's profit reached a terrifying [-] million pounds or more.

This is not a small number, and it is even enough to launch two Brunswick-class battleships.

What's more, the number of sales in the first week must be less than that in the future, because a large number of people who are already excited are still watching, waiting for the news of those who have already bought cars.

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

The length of time varies, but at least several weeks or even months.

This also means that in the automotive industry, there are still a large number of markets waiting for Benz One to explore, and the current market and sales volume revealed are only the tip of the iceberg.

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

One-tenth of the share is also a large amount of income for them, and the accumulation of this money is enough to make them world-class rich men.

Although in their eyes, research is more important than everything else, but on the premise of not hindering research, who would refuse the free income?

"Since the sales of Benz One meet expectations, it's time to develop a new series of cars." Arthur smiled mysteriously, took a blueprint from the guard, and handed it to the two.

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

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

"This is a whimsical idea of ​​mine. Horse-drawn carriages can carry both people and goods, so why can't our cars? This drawing is my idea. See if you have any hope of realizing it, and preliminary Produced." Arthur said with a smile.

Present automobiles are only small-sized passenger vehicles, and large-scale cargo vehicles have not yet been born.

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

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