The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

"Your Highness, is the price of our car too expensive, $2,000 a car is not something ordinary people can afford at all, the Eagle Sauce people have placed an order for 100,000 vehicles, will they pile up in their hands and not sell it?".

Carl Benz had never seen so much money, so after seeing the other party give so much money, he was a little panicked in his heart.

When he thought of the other party's overpricing, resulting in a backlog of products and a huge loss due to the overpricing, he felt a little uneasy in his heart!

Seeing Carl Benz's frightened look, Andrews couldn't help but be a little amused:

"Don't worry, Rockefeller, as the richest man, still has this vision, 2,000 dollars is indeed a bit expensive for ordinary people in the Second Empire, but for the Eagle Sauce people, this price is not unaffordable. "

"Well, the Eagle Sauce Man does look richer than us!".

Even Karl Benz felt this.

Sure enough, what followed proved Andrews's reasoning.

After placing an order with Andrews, Rockefeller immediately bought the car, which had been on display in New York, for a high price and took it to exhibitions all over the country.

At the same time as holding the exhibition, he also bought reporters from the newspaper agency and asked them to write a lot of propaganda reports.

The car was touted as having an all-round advantage over horse-drawn carriages.

Although the price of the car is expensive, but the maintenance is very convenient, a better carriage in this era costs more than 400 US dollars, but the annual maintenance fee plus the horse's feed, medical treatment and other consumption, the cost is more than 1000 US dollars.

Moreover, the speed of the carriage is slow, the riding experience is not good, and in the city, the horse will be punished by the municipal department for pooping and peeing.

But the car has no problem with this at all, it is indeed more expensive than the horse-drawn carriage, but it is a machine, it does not need to hire a special person to feed it, it does not get sick, there is no need to worry about the horse dying of illness or running away in fright.

Just add gasoline and maintain it regularly.

Moreover, compared to horse-drawn carriages, cars are faster, easier to drive, and very convenient to stop, so you don't have to worry about being punished by the municipal authorities when you drive into the city.

Overall, the cost of using a car for a year is much cheaper than that of a horse-drawn carriage.

So, in the long run, buying a car is much more cost-effective than buying a horse-drawn carriage!

This is not a matter of face, everyone can afford the carriage, it is just a little better.

But the car is different, the starting threshold for this thing is so high, only the really rich middle class or the rich can afford it, so those who can drive a car suddenly start a grade with others.

Rockefeller is a big businessman who is well versed in business, and the people of Eagle Sauce still have a wait-and-see mentality about this expensive novelty, and they have not made up their minds to buy it.

But after his publicity, the car is not just a means of transportation, and it has directly promoted to become a symbol of the status of the wealthy.

At this moment, in order to pursue face and enjoy the superiority of others, the people abandoned their worries one by one and placed orders waving checks.

Carl Benz was still worried about Rockefeller, thinking that if he couldn't sell so many cars, he would definitely lose all his money.

As a result, I didn't expect that Rockefeller not only sold them all, but also sold them successfully, and those who didn't grab the quota almost broke the threshold of the Rockefeller family's sales stores!

"The number of rich people in Eagle Sauce is far beyond my imagination!".

For this result, Karl Benz could only let out an exclamation of disbelief!

Andrews only thought it was a little funny, he had expected such an outcome.

Eagle sauce was already very rich, and their car sales continued to exceed millions in the early 20th century, and this purchasing power is not comparable to that of the poor people in Europe!

Yes, compared with the Eagle Sauce People, all European countries, even if the sun does not set on the world hegemon, are poor ghosts.

During the same period, the wages of workers in European countries were only one-third or one-half of those of Eagle Sauce.

Moreover, due to the large area of arable land, fertile land, and abundant resources, their prices are lower than those in Europe, and the gap between the actual incomes of the two sides is actually larger.

It is precisely because of this that Eagle Sauce has such a huge consumer market and can quickly popularize automobiles, making automobiles enter thousands of households and become an indispensable thing to change people's lives.

100,000 units may seem unimaginable to Karl Benz, but in Andrews's opinion, it's just an appetizer at the beginning, and the big ones are yet to come

Historically, before the outbreak of the economic crisis in 1929, the annual sales of Eagle Sauce people's cars were as high as more than 2 million a year, and later soared to 5 million a year.

Compared to this number, 100,000 units is drizzle!

Compared with car orders, Andrews is more concerned about cruise orders.

Cars and cruise ships are not only a cash cow for Andrews to make money, but also his preparations for the empire's future tanks, armored vehicles, warships, aircraft carriers and other related industries.

Except for the initial products, which he will buy directly from the trading system, he will produce other orders in domestic factories.

In this way, it can not only stimulate the economy of the empire, but also train a large number of excellent skilled workers.

In the event of a future war, the equipment of these workers and factories will immediately be put into war mode, producing weapons and equipment such as tanks, armored vehicles, battleships and aircraft carriers for the army.

However, Andrews is not prepared to tell anyone about this intention.

There are many people talking, and if they accidentally leak the wind and reach the ears of people who don't set the sun, I'm afraid it will arouse their vigilance.

Since you are not ready to be a bird, then it is best for the empire to make a fortune in a muffled voice!
