The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

After determining the class of the new submarine, Andrews did not bother with the rest of the matter.

After explaining a few things to Arnold, he returned to Königsberg.

Here, Rockefeller Jr. awaits his reception at the newly completed Volkswagen Group headquarters.

Time flies, and it's been more than half a year since we last met in North America.

Due to the limited transportation conditions of this era, it is not convenient to travel between the two continents.

But there is obviously something very important in North America, otherwise, Rockefeller would not have sent his son over for a trip.

"Your Highness, something big is happening in North America!".

As soon as little Rockefeller saw Andrews, he stood up suddenly, took three steps and two steps, and rushed to him.

Reinhardt, the captain of the guard who was guarding Andrews, and Major Hindenburg, saw the move, and immediately stepped forward and blocked Andrews.

The two looked at Little Rockefeller with a vigilant expression, the killing intent on their bodies had overflowed, if the other party dared to act rashly, I am afraid that they would directly kill each other.

Little Rockefeller was taken aback, as if he had only remembered the other identity of the teenager in front of him at this time.

He is not only a partner in his family's business, but also a prince of the Second Empire, with a noble status!

No wonder his father specifically told him not to treat him with the same attitude as an ordinary business partner, little Rockefeller just got excited, and he forgot about these things, and now in retrospect, he can't help but feel scared.

"What's wrong?".

Andrews glanced at him, not blaming him for his reckless behavior.

But from the look in his eyes, little Rockefeller saw the other party's displeasure.

"Yes, that's right, after the 10,000 cars you delivered last month were shipped to North America, because of their excellent performance, they were sold out in the blink of an eye, and the customers who had placed orders before are now blocking outside our store, urging us to ship!"

Andrews breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, seeing the little Rockefeller's gaffe, he thought that something was wrong with the car, causing some disgusting accident!

That's the result?

The success of the Beetle in North America did not come as a surprise to Andrews, in fact, even in the thirties of the twentieth century, the car was a bestseller all over the world.

"So, your father sent you here to urge us to speed up the delivery, right?"

"Yes, yes, Your Highness, you are really like a god, and I am here for this matter. "

Andrews felt that things didn't seem to be so simple, if it was just a simple reminder, just take a telegram, and if it didn't work, you could send someone else over, and there was no need to let Rockefeller Jr. run it himself.

Andrews was keenly aware that the other party should not be telling the truth, or rather, only telling part of the truth.

So, he asked quietly

"Is that all?".

"Uh, this, this ......".

Sure enough, hearing Andrews's inquiry, the expression on Rockefeller Jr.'s face became hesitant.

He's struggling with whether to say it or not

"Neil, send-off!".

Seeing the other party's slurring appearance, Andrews stood up and said to Neil beside him.

"Your Highness, I, I'm here this time, my father told me, let me discuss with you, see if we can double the supply next month to 20,000 units?"

Previously, when he was in North America, Andrews signed an order with Rockefeller for a total of 100,000 cars, supplying 10,000 vehicles per month.

So far, eight months have been carried out, and eighty thousand cars have been delivered.

According to the contract, the first phase of the contract between the two parties will be completed after the remaining 20,000 units will be supplied this month and next month.

"Your father meant that the rest of the goods would be taken together this month, right?".

Andrews was a little surprised by the other party's request, but early delivery is not a big problem, the system's trading center can directly buy the spot, how much you want, and there is no shortage of stock.

"That's what it means!".

Little Rockefeller said with some embarrassment.

Suddenly, the supplier is asked to double the supply volume and does not give the other party much time to prepare.

This kind of request is very irritating for the supplier, which is why Rockefeller Jr. is so cringe, because he is afraid that Andrews will be angry with him.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his request, Andrews was not angry, but just nodded slightly:

"Yes, but I want to ask, why did your father do this?".

The cooperation between the two sides is so pleasant, and the sales of cars are also very good, this business is a sure profit for both parties.

He really couldn't figure out why Rockefeller ended the contract early, could it be that Rockefeller himself floated and felt that the car market was very profitable, so he wanted to eat alone, kick away his own supplier, and develop and produce cars by himself?

If he did, Andrews would be looking forward to seeing him look like he was embarrassed.

Although the Beetle car is not a high-tech product, the technology used in this car is, after all, something nearly 50 years ahead of the present.

With the current level of technology in Eagle Sauce, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to create a competing product like the Beetle.

At that time, even if Rockefeller succeeded, the quality of their products was far inferior to the Beetle in their own hands.

Without the cooperation of the Rockefeller family, he could have found other people to cooperate, and even sent people to North America to establish a direct store.

As long as the quality of his products is superior, he is not worried about not being able to sell at all.

On the contrary, it is Rockefeller, and the inferior products he produces are probably difficult to sell under the competition of Beetle cars, right?

"My father said that the quality of the Beetle car is very good, and the profit margin should be greater.

Therefore, he felt that he should change the sales strategy, not let customers buy so easily, create an atmosphere of price and no market, artificially set the threshold of purchase, and make it a symbol of status in high society, speculate on the sales price, and greatly increase profits!".

Andrews nodded, Rockefeller had already told him about this strategy when he was in North America before.

At that time, he thought that the other party would abandon this strategy because of his family's relationship with the oil company, and increase the promotion of automobiles, so as to drive oil sales.

As a result, I didn't expect Rockefeller to return to this old path!

Merchants are indeed the most shrewd people in the world, and this kind of hunger marketing tactics that has been used in later generations has not expected to be so skillful by them in the nineteenth century.

Sure enough, to become the richest man in Eagle Sauce, the Rockefeller family does have some means.

"I see, then, what will your family's oil sales rely on?"
