Chapter 451 angry bakona

It's not news that the Fiat B-Type sells like crazy, but it's news that it's so big that it leads to fights.

That's right, there was a dispute in the United States over the purchase of a Model B car, and the news that two groups of customers had a fight made it into the newspapers.

This can be regarded as an addition to the already hot B-type car market. The output of 5,000 Model B cars per month can be completely digested by just one United States.

With its novel appearance, low price, and the support of new technologies, the B-type car is hard to sell, let alone there is no decent opponent in the market.

Big sales, hot sales, looking at the customers waiting to pick up their cars, and then looking at the empty booth, they can only do two things, one is to appease the customers, and the other is to send a reminder telegram to Fiat, asking them to hurry up The Model B car from the company was delivered, and these customers were getting impatient with the wait.

That's right, urging telegrams from dealers in various countries have filled Fiat's telegram delivery room.

And there is nothing to say next, Fiat's new factory must continue to be built, and the order is more fierce than that of the A-type car, so Fiat has already considered whether to stop the production of the A-type car directly and go to the B-type car after transformation.

The reason why Fiat executives think so is because the new factory will take at least half a year to start production, and the current B-type car order accumulation has already scheduled the production time to next year. As for the Type A car, the current production capacity is 6,000 vehicles per month. Although there are still orders, according to the number of orders dropped, Fiat feels that this car may only have a production life of two or three years.

After all, Fiat underestimated the popularity of Type B cars. With such an excellent combination of price, performance, and appearance, the price difference of Type B cars is only 1,000 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 not considered by Fiat executives. Of course, what they have considered is the profit of the B-type car. Compared with Type A, the price of Type B has increased by 1,000 lire, but the cost has only increased by 800 lire. That is to say, the profit of Type B is two times higher than that of Type A. Bailila.

This is not a small number. Fiat can sell its own cars so cheaply. In addition to the assembly line 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 has surpassed the annual production capacity of dozens of hand-crafted workshops in other countries.

Fiat only earns three or four hundred lire per car, and these tens of thousands of cars can make it hundreds of millions of lire in profit.

The same large-scale production reduces the production cost of parts and components, so that the cost of Fiat vehicles can also be reduced. This complements each other. This is Fiat's first-mover advantage. Except for other car companies who are hurting others and engaging in low-price competition, otherwise this first-mover advantage It's not easy to solve.

Of course, it took two months to renovate the assembly line and workshop after stopping the production of the A-type car, which is indeed faster than directly building a new factory.

But Fiat is a little hesitant about this. After all, there are certain risks in directly discontinuing the production of Type A cars.

Regardless of what Fiat decides, the pile of orders for the Model B must be resolved. After some consideration, Giovanni Agnelli finally made a decision to stop the production of Type A cars and put all resources into the production of Type B cars, striving to increase Fiat's monthly production of Type B cars by 10,000. More than 5,000 vehicles.
