When the time came to June 1920, the war was long gone. The trauma suffered in the war had also been quietly healed. A peaceful life made the world so beautiful.
Dalles thought so too. As a Frenchman who loved life, Dalles was afraid of the world war from the bottom of his heart. Dalles was not like this before. When the war broke out, he and his friends worked together to fight for the war.
Cheering for the arrival of the Franco-Prussian War, they finally had a chance to put the humiliation they suffered in the Franco-Prussian War back into the spotlight.
However, when he later joined the army, Dalles was transferred to the logistics department because of his thin body. He was still aggrieved and felt unworthy because he could not go to the battlefield to fight with the Germans.
Soon the war showed its cruelty, Boer died in the battle, he died in the battle to retake Lorraine. Then Nobby Jean also died, he died in the Battle of the Marne. Vdoko was okay,
He did not die, but his legs needed to be amputated and he could only spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
There were also more than a dozen friends he knew including Bile, Kale, Doles, and Noli. They died and were injured. In the end, he was the only one who survived the war unscathed. So among his friends, he
He got a nickname, Lucky Dalles.
Dalles, who works in the logistics department, also made a fortune during this war. Reselling supplies is something that all logistics departments are well aware of. But most people don't dare to do this, but who let Dalles encounter it?
Got a good boss.
So during the war, Dalles and his superiors worked hard to help the hungry people, no matter where they came from. Both of them treated these people with kindness and only needed to pay some hard work. When the war was over,
Dalles actually made a lot of money, which is one of the reasons why he is called Lucky Dalles.
Today, Dalles planned to go and see how his car was being repaired. Two days ago, Dalles was in a car accident while driving his Renault car. Fortunately, he was fine. However, the vehicle had to be repaired. Dalles figured it out.
It should be repaired soon, so he planned to go take a look. It was so uncomfortable to live without a car, and he couldn't even take the girl for a ride.
The car repair place is not far from him on Avenue Donet, which is also the most famous car and supplies street in Lyon. You can buy any brand of car here. As long as you have money, they can even get it for you.
A royal car. Of course, the cost is astronomical, at least for Dalles.
But when he passed by, he found a lot of people gathered in front of a car sales store.
"This car is so beautiful."
"Yes, it's so beautiful."
The words of the onlookers aroused his interest. After pushing through the crowd and squeezing in, he discovered that this was a new Volkswagen car. Their reflections were reflected on the sealed body, and the round front of the car was eye-catching.
The interior decoration is also full of luxury. Even the curtains on the car windows are made of expensive fabrics. The more Darles looks at it, the more he likes this car, but he knows that cars like this, which are good at first glance, are usually not expensive in terms of price.
It would reflect its identity. However, he couldn't help but go and ask.
The car dealer offered a price of 12,000 francs for a new car, and Dalles's enthusiastic desire to buy a car disappeared instantly. It wasn't that he couldn't afford it, but how he would live after taking it out.
Seeing that Dalus couldn't afford the price, the salesperson immediately followed up and said, "Sir, you can actually take a look at our other Volkswagen car, which has similar performance, but is not as luxurious."
After hearing this, Dalus thought about it and said, "You can take me to see it."
The salesperson in the store immediately brought Dalus to a Volkswagen, pointed at the car and said: "This is the Volkswagen M1 sedan. Compared with the S-type sedan outside, there are some differences in decoration. There are also other things in the car.
For the first time, it is equipped with a radio, which allows you to listen to the radio while driving and relieve the boredom of driving. It is also cheaper than the S model outside, and you can drive it home for only 4,500 francs."
Dalles looked at the car in front of him that was almost the same as the one outside, and the feeling of excitement appeared again. This car was much better-looking than his Renault, and the price was acceptable to him.
Facing the salesperson, Dalus couldn't resist the temptation and said: "Can I try this car?"
"no problem."
So, accompanied by the salesperson, Dalles drove this M Volkswagen onto the road.
"This car drives very smoothly and doesn't make much noise."
As an experienced driver, Dalus immediately felt the difference in this car.
"Sir, you are right. This car uses many new technologies developed by Volkswagen. The four-wheel independent suspension can ensure the driving experience, and the new six-cylinder gasoline engine reduces the noise to a minimum. And have you noticed the metal piece in front of the front of the car?
The bar can also ensure the safety of vehicles and personnel, and the 4,500 francs are definitely worth the money."
When the salesperson told him about the unique configuration of the new car, he also did not forget to sell him the car's great value for money.
In fact, he had already made up his mind when he was driving in Dalles. This car is indeed much better than his Renault. It can show his identity whether it is a gathering of friends or a business discussion. The only bad thing is that it is not soft.
You can't lower the roof when taking a woman for a ride. But compared with its advantages, this is not a disadvantage.
After driving the car back to the dealership, Dalles paid a deposit of 1,000 francs. After paying the balance, the car can be driven home. And his Renault can also be put on the second-hand market, and I believe he will reduce the price when the time comes.
It will definitely be sold.
In fact, there are many people like Dalus in Europe. They have a lot of money, but the price of luxury cars is beyond their affordability, but driving a Model T car cannot show their identity. And Volkswagen's new car
It met their requirements, and the driving experience was higher than other existing vehicles. Therefore, after the launch of Volkswagen's new car, the sales scene was booming, and many people sold their original cars and bought this new car instead.
The choices of these people were immediately reflected in the sales performance. When the Volkswagen sales manager took the new car sales data, everyone was extremely excited.
"Mr. Ambrose, we succeeded."
The sales manager holding the sales data pushed aside General Manager Ambrose and reported the sales data to him loudly.
"Sold 60,000 new cars in one month?"
"Yes, especially our M model is the best-selling model, with a total of 41,000 units."
The sales manager's words made Ambrose immediately take the data list and read it. In the first month of the new car's launch, Volkswagen sold a total of 60,871 new cars, including 41,243 M-type cars and 13,414 A-type cars.
, Model S sold 6,214 units.
This data made Ambrose burst into laughter, because as the most profitable model S car, it can sell more than 6,000 units, which is definitely a new initiative for Volkswagen. This also shows that his idea is right. It seems that the next step is
It is necessary to use mid- to high-end cars as a new profit growth point for Volkswagen.
