In late June, the Model T was revealed at Volkswagen dealerships in major European cities. This time, Volkswagen showed super high efficiency. After getting the technical drawings, it took a week to improve the production line, and accelerated the production of 3,000 Model T cars in 10 days.

Good performance and a low price (£165) made this batch of Model Ts sold out within three days, and the snowflakes of urging telegrams from dealers from all over the world were placed on the desk of general manager Minoba.

Seeing the telegrams piled up on the table, Minoba called in De Laspar, the production supervisor. How is our capacity expansion?

Now the new equipment has arrived one after another and is being debugged in our newly built workshop. The 5,000 newly recruited people are being trained, and the construction can start only after the equipment is debugged. In this way, we can produce 10,000 T-type cars in a month, which should alleviate the problem. Take a look at the current situation.

After Minoba heard the words of the production supervisor, he preached with one hand on his hips. It's still too little deraspa. Now our orders will be produced for half a year according to the production capacity you said, which is absolutely impossible. I have already asked people to continue to purchase equipment, and the personnel will continue to expand, and I estimate that it will be only 10,000 people. meet our needs.”

Hearing the arrogant words of the general manager Minoba, the production supervisor Delaspa said with a little embarrassment. The qualified people near Constanta are almost recruited, and they can only go to other places to recruit people. Since there are many factories in Constanta (there are also many supporting factories for Volkswagen), Eder does not let Volkswagen Going to the countryside to recruit people on a large scale is afraid of affecting the interests of the landed aristocrats and intensifying conflicts.

It's no problem, you can do it. Minoba arrogantly agreed to Deraspa's request.

Just as Volkswagen continued to expand production in arrogance. At the headquarters of Renault in France, the three Renault brothers are also in the office discussing the impact of the Model T on them.

In 1877, Louis Reynolds was born into a wealthy family in Paris. Louis Reynolds became obsessed with motorboats as a teenager, for which he designed a high-efficiency steam engine at home and applied for a patent. In 1898, 21-year-old Louis Reynolds converted his De Dion drag motorcycle into a car that was rare at the time and drove it to a friend's Christmas Eve party at Rue Eldre in Paris. Since then, Renault has become famous in Parisian society.

Louis Reynolds spoke first. The whole of Europe is talking about the Model T right now. Even though I haven't met Henry Ford, I still admire the man who rewrote the way cars are produced.

Now is not the time for admiration, we must also develop a new car that can compete with the Model T, otherwise we will lose the low-end market. You look at their sales, 3,000 cars were sold in three days, the three of us It's terrible that we can't sell that many in a month. Brother Fernand Reno said of the company's urgent needs now.

It takes time to develop a product that can compete with the Model T. You also know that the last time we researched a truck, we failed miserably to the public. Louis Renault, who is the core of technology, explained to his two brothers. Marcel Reno and Fernand Leno blushed a little at the thought of the last competition.

Before, Renault saw that Volkswagen's Dongfeng truck was selling very well, and it also tinkered with a Renault truck with similar performance. As a result, the price was as high as 250 pounds. There was no advantage in front of Dongfeng trucks. If France had not purchased a batch of 500 trucks out of the protection of the automobile industry, Renault could not even earn back the research and development expenses.

Facing Louis Reno's question, the two older brothers sat on the sofa in deep thought. After a while, Fernand Renault said, We still need to develop a civilian-level car, even if it doesn't make much money, it must be developed. We can't just make cars for the rich. I have a hunch that there will be no more cars in the future. Those who can stand up in civilian cars will be eliminated by the market.”

After listening to his brother's speech, Louis Reynolds thought for a while. I agree,

It is still necessary to develop a civilian car of our own in France, and this time I will push the price down with Energizer.

I agree too. Marcel Reno also expressed his opinion.

While Renault was thinking of its own way out, Karl Benz was also talking about the Model T with his wife in Germany. I didn't expect that this man named Henry Ford had a real business sense and could make a car with good performance at such a low price.

asked his wife, Beretta Ringer. You have already handed over the management of the company to the people below, do you still want to intervene?

You don't know, this time is different. It took only three days for Volkswagen to produce 3,000 Model Ts. Have you ever seen such a high-sale car before? Karl Benz explained his wife to his wife. Worry.

Beretta Ringer knew it was Carl Benz's company. Karl Benz, the inventor of the automobile, already has a lot of credit, and now the Mercedes-Benz car company he founded is focusing on high-end cars and sports cars. In the face of this menacing Model T, I wonder if the company can deal with this spoiler.

Benz, the general manager of Mercedes-Benz, is also discussing this Model T with his assistants. This is a revolutionary car that enlarges the entire car market. It is a great car.

Hearing that his boss praised this civilian car, the assistant asked. Are we also developing one? I heard that many car factories are developing works that can compete with the Model T.

After hearing the assistant's words, Little Benz said contemptuously. It is the key to compete with the cost of this car. The most important concern of the civilian car audience is the price. If you want to gain an advantage in price, you need large-scale industrialization to reduce costs. Volkswagen now has more than 10,000 people, and how many people do they produce. Cars, I heard that Volkswagen plans to recruit 10,000 people, which is really a big deal.”

As a German entrepreneur, it is not difficult to inquire about Romania, which currently has very friendly relations with Germany. Knowing that the Volkswagen company built a factory with 3,000 people at the beginning, and then relied on Dongfeng trucks to dominate the market. Not long ago, the appearance of the Volkswagen bus was also a siege, and now this T-type car is added.

According to Benz's own calculations, 70% of the cars in the European market are now Volkswagen products. This is a big market, and Benz himself knows that there is no car company that can compete with Volkswagen in a short period of time.

Now European automakers are looking at Volkswagen with admiration, and they have too many mixed feelings about the Model T.

And the guide who caused their mixed emotions was listening to the report of the Model T now. His Royal Highness, our factory in Constanta has been busy producing Model T cars. Even the production of trucks and passenger cars has been reduced, and now we can produce 15,000 Model T cars a month. It is also completely in short supply, many Sellers are waiting at the factory gate to get their cars.

Francisco paused to move on to the production phase. Now we have 26,000 workers, 10,000 newly recruited workers are in emergency training, and there are 35 manufacturers who are supporting us.

Francisco, as the sales manager of Volkswagen, came to report to Edel the company's recent hot sales. Now Lancisco is the most leisurely company in the company, and there is no need for promotion. The supplier waiting for the car to be picked up in the factory is the best proof.

After listening to Francisco's explanation, Edel knew that the horror of this large-scale industrialization model is now open. I believe that as long as you know a little about it, you will know that this model is easy to learn and only requires a large amount of money, but it is also very difficult and requires a lot of money. big money.

This is why Edel seized the opportunity and added this legendary Model T to achieve this scene. With the entry of other capital in the future, the market share of the public will gradually decrease.
