It's not news that Fiat's B-type cars are selling like hotcakes, but it's news if it's selling so well that they cause fights.
Yes, there was a dispute in the United States over the purchase of a B-type car, and the news of a fight between two groups of customers appeared in the newspapers.
This can be regarded as adding fuel to the already hot B-type car market. The monthly output of 5,000 B-type cars can be completely absorbed by the United States alone.
With its novel appearance and low price, coupled with the blessing of new technologies, the B-type car is difficult to sell, let alone there is no decent competitor in the market.
It was a hot sale. The seller looked at the customers waiting to pick up the cars, and then at the empty booth. He could only do two things. One was to appease the customers, and the other was to send a reminder telegram to Fiat, asking them to hurry up and deliver the cute cars.
The B-type cars were delivered, and these customers were impatient to wait.
That's right, Fiat's telegram mailroom has been filled with urging telegrams from dealers in various countries.
And there is nothing to say next. Fiat's new factory must continue to be built. The orders are even more fierce than those of the A-type cars. Fiat has already considered whether to directly stop production of the A-type cars and transform them into B-type cars.
The reason why Fiat executives consider this is that it will take at least half a year for the new factory to be put into production, and the current accumulation of orders for Type B cars has already pushed the production time to next year. The current production capacity of Type A cars is 6,000 units per month, although it is still
There are still orders, but based on the declining number of orders, Fiat feels that this car may only have a production life of two or three years.
In the final analysis, this is because Fiat underestimated the popularity of the B-type car. With such an excellent combination of price, performance, and appearance, the price difference of the B-type car is only a thousand lire, which is not a problem for many customers.
.
Well, this B-type car is backward compatible with the A-type car market, which is something Fiat's senior management did not consider. Of course, what they did consider was the profit of the B-type car. Compared with the A-type car, the B-type car is on sale
Although the price has increased by one thousand lire, the cost has only increased by 800 lire. In other words, the profit of type B car is 200 lire higher than that of type A car.
This is not a small number. Fiat can sell its own cars so cheaply. In addition to assembly lines and standardized production, it is also Fiat's strategy to reduce the profit of each car.
After all, Fiat's annual output of tens of thousands of cars exceeds the annual production capacity of dozens of handcrafted vehicles in other countries.
Fiat only earns three to four hundred lire per car, but these tens of thousands of cars can make it hundreds of millions of lire in profit.
Large-scale production also reduces the production cost of parts, allowing Fiat to reduce vehicle costs. These complement each other and are Fiat's first-mover advantage. Unless other car companies compete at low prices to hurt people, otherwise this first-mover advantage
It's not easy to solve.
Of course, it would be faster to stop the production of Model A cars and spend two months to renovate the assembly line and workshop than to directly build a new factory.
But Fiat is a little hesitant about this. After all, discontinuing the production of Model A cars directly also has certain risks.
No matter what Fiat decides, the backlog of orders for the B-type car must be resolved. After some consideration, Giovanni Agnelli finally made the decision to stop the production of the A-type car and devote all resources to the production of the B-type car.
, striving to increase Fiat's monthly B-type car production by more than 15,000 units.
Yes, for Fiat, the only motivation now is to challenge itself. The key is to release its own automobile production capacity and seize the market first.
While Fiat was developing its ambitions, Carlo, who was far away in Rome, also encountered a troublesome thing.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what the people of the Qing Dynasty think, but this declaration of war simply challenges my many years of diplomatic experience. I can only say that the empress dowager really doesn't understand diplomacy at all, or that she doesn't understand diplomacy at all.
There is no Qing official who understands diplomacy."
In front of Carlo, Italian Foreign Minister Bacona complained to him about the indiscriminate behavior of the Far Eastern Queen Mother.
