Chapter 329: Bugatti Veyron listed
Because around the world, Mavie sells rocket launchers with a range of more than 500 kilometers. So his business is extremely simple. Countries like Algeria, Morocco, and have not even visited them yet. They have to book rocket launchers first. They are afraid that Russia will be in a short position due to the tight delivery time, and then the order will be placed at a very back.
"Yes, then you are welcome to visit our country and visit us in Russia." For Mavie now, an arms order of 850 million US dollars is considered a basic operation. If the other party bargained for half a day, he would not buy it. Then Mavie was really too lazy to talk about it.
In addition to the hot whirlwind rocket launcher business, Mavie has welcomed another good news in the past few days. That is, the "Bugatti Veyron" supercar he asked Bugatti Company to develop and produce, and is finally coming out!
During the development of the car, it attracted countless attention and curiosity from the outside world. Many rich second-generations who love sports cars, related media have been asking Bugatti about how to sell new concept sports cars, what are the limits, and what are the basic performance.
But all of them were kept secret by Bugatti on the grounds of commercial secrets. At most, it was revealed to the outside world that this new car that is about to be successfully developed will set the highest price record in history! It is not that they sell expensively, but that the R&D cost and material cost are already sky-high...
"Chairman Mavie, according to our calculations, if the price of each Bugatti Veyron is positioned at 5 million US dollars per vehicle, then we only need to sell 57 vehicles to recover the R&D costs and the cost of 57 sports cars. Do you think?" The price of Bugatti Veyron is what Mavie said. So the president of Bugatti needs to ask him what he meant there.
"Then make up an integer and sell 10 million US dollars each. In this way, you only need to sell 28.5 vehicles and you can recover the cost." Ma Wei made a quick decision and said.
285 million yuan in super sports car research and development funds are unique in history. Even well-known automakers such as Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren, etc. dare not invest such a large amount of money in the early stage. The reason is that the most expensive super sports car sold at present is only about 1.6 million US dollars.
If you exceed this standard too much, you may be neglected. After all, you can buy several Ferrari Enzos for the money to buy a Bugatti Veyron! This pretending is too expensive. Ordinary rich second generations, even some first-line rich people, cannot bear this pressure at all...
"10 million US dollars? Well, I understand, Chairman Mavie..." President Bugatti was a little nervous because of Mavie's pricing. Even though Mavie had told him about the approximate pricing range, but when he actually heard it, President Bugatti was still a little confused. He was thinking in his mind whether such an expensive car could be sold...
"Well, I'll give me a message after the new car launch conference is scheduled." Mavie would not worry about the Bugatti Veyron, which has a low sales volume. Anyway, the positioning of this car is the world's top-notch and most expensive luxury car. And according to convention, it is not open to the European market.
(There are too many famous sports car dealers in Europe, and the industry competition is very fierce. When Volkswagen acquired Bugatti, it suffered losses from competition in the European market. It was afraid that sports cars would be too expensive and could not be sold. It adjusted the price very low, which led to serious losses)
The Bugatti company in his previous life was sold for only 1 million US dollars due to wrong positioning. The price is almost equal to its material cost, plus labor cost and taxes! Then you can sell a hammer!
So Volkswagen, which sold 357 Bugatti Veyrons in a row, did not recycle its original R&D investment.
In this way, Volkswagen is losing money almost every time a Veyron sports car is selling. Thankfully, it is enough to recycle costs in their lifetime. This is not counting global inflation... More than 200 million US dollars in 2005 are completely different from 2017 US dollars...
Two days later, Bugatti Automobile Company, a subsidiary of Ma V Group, officially announced that it will display their newly developed Bugatti Veyron sports car at the Dubai International Auto Show in mid-May 2002.
As soon as this news came out, many local tycoons who were looking forward to the car were all preparing to go to Dubai in May this year to see what this world's most expensive sports car looks like and how expensive it will be.
Some people speculate that the price of North America is 3.5 million US dollars, while others speculate that the price is 4 million US dollars. These amounts do not include import tariffs, consumption tax, value-added tax, etc. Otherwise, it would be at least 50% higher!
At 10 a.m. on May 16, the world-famous luxury auto show and the Dubai International Auto Show finally kicked off. All the vehicles at the auto show are toys of the rich people in the Middle East. If you like it, you can buy it for money. It’s so delicious.
Therefore, many international automakers have spent all their efforts to please these billionaires and create various novel and cool concept sports cars and supermotors.
Unfortunately, in 2002, the world's supercar industry was still in its development stage. For example, the top ten top luxury cars, such as "Koniseger one1", "lykan hypersport", "Maybach exelero", "Silbert," and so on, it will not be developed until 10 years later.
So even if a car dealer wants to come up with tricks, he must first consider his own strength.
As the boss of Bugatti Automobile, Mavie naturally wants to come to the auto show to see the market reaction. In order not to show up, attract attention and enjoy a low-key ordinary life. This time he also disguised himself, and a friend from Dubai did not inform him, including the Dubai Prince who has a close relationship with him.
In Dubai in May, the highest temperature is around 35 degrees and the lowest temperature is 18 degrees. So this time in the morning is very comfortable. Mavie directly wore gray mid-trousers, black T-shirts, and ordinary sneakers, and set off. As for sunglasses, masks, and hats that cover up his identity, three sets of sunglasses, masks, and hats that cover up his identity, are naturally indispensable.
For the bodyguard, you can bring two people, and they are casual clothes, following behind you at a distance. In terms of vehicles, you don’t need to be too high-profile. A Lamborghini Bull is enough for transportation.
After all, Ma Wei has long since left the fun of using sports cars to show his level of interest. He is the boss of investing in and developing super concept sports cars.
Ten minutes later, when Mavie drove a purple Lamborghini bull and appeared in the parking lot of the Dubai International Auto Show. He magically discovered that almost a quarter of the super luxury cars parked here were Lamborghini, more than Ferrari.
The key is that among these Lamborghini sports cars, two are Lamborghini poisons and three are Lamborghini Revington.
