Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon

Chapter 511: Target

The following introduction is the German car brand.

Volkswagen was founded in 1937, a special year, when Hitler just came to power, he envisioned in 1936 to produce an economical car, he said, every German, at least every German worker, should Have a car of your own, just like America. The United States had one car for every five people at that time, and Germany had one car for every 50 people, and workers commuted to get off work by bicycle or bus. Hitler ordered the production of an economical car for the common man for only 990 marks.

In 1938, in what is now Wolfsburg, Volkswagen began to build a factory, which was the largest car factory in the world at that time. It plans to produce 1.5 million vehicles a year for the production of new models designed by Ferdinand Porsche, more than the largest American Ford Motor Company.

During World War II, Volkswagen was used for armament production. At that time there were about 20,000 forced laborers and prisoners of war, and later concentration camp prisoners were forced to labor here.

After the end of World War II, in mid-June 1945, Volkswagen was taken over by the British military government. Under the management of Major General Ivan Hirst, the Beetle went into mass production.

On March 8, 1950, the Type 2 went into production, further expanding the company's product line. With a wealth of versatile features, the VolkswagenBus quickly set off an order craze. In 1956, an independent Transporter production base was established in Hanover, at the same time planting the seeds of the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles brand.

On February 17, 1972, Volkswagen broke the world record for car production. The Beetle surpassed the legendary record set by the Ford Motor Company Model T from 1908 to 1927 with a record of more than 15 million vehicles.

In March 1975, a well-equipped but not very well-equipped Polo derivative with a 29kW (40 hp) engine was introduced, and the trade measures that followed were astonishing, Volkswagen went against the grain and continued to improve the Polo until It successfully forced the more luxurious Audi 50 out of the market in July 1978. Audi never recovered from its snub in the small sedan market until 1996 when it launched its successful new Audi "A3".

VW sales fell 12% in the year that followed, largely due to the many problems caused by the oil crisis. Those heavy losses, though, were largely compensated for by the particularly good sales of the Golf and Passat, further evidence that VW has reduced its reliance on the Beetle. 1975 first gave dealers a chance to sell the Polo, a special low-standard sister model that wasn't quite the same as the Audi 50. In the following years, Polo also adopted a more powerful engine like the Audi 50.

In Germany, the "Beetle" still has its potential users, but Volkswagen desperately needs to use its production line to produce other models, so, on January 19, 1978, the last "Beetle" drove off the Emton assembly line. In 1979, the "Jetta" appeared, which was changed to a hatchback body on the basis of the "Golf", and there were also two-door and four-door variants.

But for now, Volkswagen is the first "people's stock" issued by the Federal Republic of Germany, which is of profound significance.

Volkswagen is a listed company under the management of the Federal Republic of Germany, which is difficult.

In the current European continent, many countries use state capitalism, and the state controls the economy.

And if Margaret hadn't come to power and started privatization, Li Zhiwen might still be unable to intervene.

What's more worrying is that the public also has the idea of ​​cooperating with the mainland. This is your terrifying news.

Of course, Li Zhiwen is sure that he has a leading position, but what if Li Zhiwen can't buy a car Hongqi.

So Li Zhiwen can only continue to look down.

In February 1878, at the age of 34, Karl Benz developed the first successful two-stroke gas engine.

In April 1882, Gottlieb Daimler resigned from the Otto company and founded an automobile factory with friends.

In March 1883, Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach patented the world's first high-speed (600 rpm) engine, and later Gottlieb Daimler in 1886 In 2008, it was installed on a four-wheeled carriage ordered from the United States, making the world's first four-wheeled vehicle.

In September 1885, Gottlieb Daimler put its single-cylinder engine on a bicycle and made the world's first motorcycle. In October of the same year, Karl Benz designed and manufactured a three-wheeled vehicle with a gasoline engine.

In March 1886, Karl Benz's invention of a gasoline engine-powered tricycle was granted a patent, at the same time, Gottlieb Daimler also invented his first four-wheeled vehicle, and in the same year he also obtained Patented marine engine.

In July 1894, in the world's first auto race from Paris to Rouen, a car with a Daimler engine won. In May 1895, the world's first bus line began to operate, the car used a Mercedes-Benz and a horsepower engine. In May 1896, Daimler Motors successfully built the world's first truck. Gottlieb Daimler built the world's first 4-cylinder engine for a car for P&L.

In October 1902, Daimler obtained the legal right to use "Mercedes" and used "Mercedes" as its new trademark.

In November 1910, the Mercedes-Benz Motor Company developed the first 4-valve engine.

On June 29, 1926, Daimler and Mercedes-Benz merged to form Daimler-Benz, an important company in the history of automobiles. From then on, all the cars they produced were named "Mercedes-Benz" . After that, the company adhered to the policy of producing military products, and was determined to rely on Deutsche Bank to establish a unified German automotive industry.

In August 1934, the "Mercedes-Benz" car company produced the world's first bulletproof car 770K, which was a luxury car specially made for Hitler. The body was made of 4mm thick steel plate and the windshield was 50mm. Thick, the tires are steel mesh bulletproof tires, the rear seat cushions and backs are equipped with bulletproof steel plates, and the floor is also thickened to 4.5mm. The whole vehicle weighs more than 5 tons. It is equipped with a V8 engine with a displacement of 7655ml, which can generate 100kw Power, a total of 17 cars were produced, most of them were destroyed in World War II, and only 3 remained as rare treasures.

In April 1936, the "Mercedes-Benz" car company successfully installed the diesel engine on the car for the first time, which greatly reduced the cost of using the car.

In 1954, the company pioneered the use of gasoline injection on the 300SL. Thus it has become a new technology to eliminate the traditional carburetor.

In September 1969, the Daimler-Benz car company captured the world's attention. The company launched the c111 first-generation test car at the Frankfurt Motor Show, which uses a three-rotor Wankel engine with a staggering 280 horsepower. A year later, the second generation of the c111 was launched. Different from the first generation, it used a Wankel engine with four rotors and output a powerful power of 350 horsepower, which made it have very outstanding performance.

In 1972, the company developed an all-new luxury car, the 280se. Subsequently, this car was named "s-", which is the earliest s-series car we are familiar with.

In 1974, the world's first car with a 5-cylinder diesel engine, the 240d3.0, was launched.

In 1978, the company launched a car 450slc5.0 equipped with a 5l-displacement light-duty aluminum alloy engine at the Frankfurt International Motor Show.

In 1979, the company entered the off-road vehicle market with the newly developed "g-".

While Daimler-Benz is currently listed on the Berlin Stock Exchange in the Federal Republic of Germany, its shares are still firmly in the hands of the Daimler family.

Li Zhiwen looked at the report and remained silent. Obviously, this is another example that cannot be acquired.

Li Zhiwen continued to look down, this is the last car brand in Germany, BMW.

BMW was established on March 7, 1916. The predecessor of BMW was an aircraft factory. It was initially famous for its streamlined biplane reconnaissance aircraft.

On July 20, 1917, the BFW company began to reorganize, officially named BMW.

In 1923, BMW developed the first motorcycle engine. At the end of 1923, they specially produced motorcycles in Munich, and the R32 motorcycle with the BMW trademark was sold in the market for the first time.

BMW made a full-page advertisement in the morning paper on July 9, 1929, announcing its foray into automobile manufacturing. The legend of BMW's first serial production car was born.

"BMW" is a world-famous luxury car brand headquartered in Munich, Bavaria.

In 1937, it was seen that BMW began to manufacture the touring car market, which is now known as the three-box four-door motorhome, and it was a success.

In 1945, the end of World War II, Germany accepted the unconditional surrender, coupled with the identity of the defeated country, the land was divided into two countries, the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany. Aison Lux became a part of East Germany, which is naturally the jurisdiction. ; As for the research center in Munich, all the facilities were blown to pieces by the Allied forces. It took several years to recover from this heavy damage. BMW, which experienced the war for the second time, but this time the recovery period will take as long as 7 years. It will take a long time before it can be put into production again. In fact, the vitality of BMW is still very fragile.

In 1945, the British rebuilt the 328, and the 326 was also revived. The Americans also loved the 328. They bought the engine from the United Kingdom, redesigned the body and increased the power to 97kW, and then shipped it to the American market.

Before a full-scale renaissance, BMW spent three years in aircraft engine research and development for an American company from 1945 to 1947. In 1948, after raising enough funds, they began to rebuild the motorcycle factory, and at the same time began to develop and develop the R51 motorcycle. Started running towards the car dream again.

In October 1952, BMW finally put into production the car again. The car it produced was the 501 series four-door RV before the war. It continued to use the 6-cylinder, 2-liter engine, single carburetor, and power of 48kW. As for other equipment, it was brand new, and its performance and durability alike.

In 1954, BMW launched the 502-type four-door self-car, which was improved from the 501-type, and continued to use a new V-8 cylinder engine. Create a business. BMW's revitalization of the industry has finally come to light again...

1973: Landshut factory opens

1978: The concept of a hydrogen engine was introduced

1978: 30,000 employees, annual turnover of 6 billion marks.

The performance in 1978 alone made Li Zhiwen feel very uncomfortable. Even if Li Zhiwen had the funds to buy it, others would not sell it. This is a cash cow.

Liu Chenghao can only continue to look down, this is also the last car company in this document, Volvo from Sweden.

Speaking of Volvo, Li Zhiwen's eyes are shining. This is Li Zhiwen's most suitable choice. Although Li Zhiwen did not read the introduction, Volvo is Li Zhiwen's most suitable choice because it has a criminal record.

Because in 1999, Volvo Group sold its sedan business to Ford Motor Company of the United States, and then in 2010, Volvo was sold to Geely.

Of course, when Li Zhiwen sold it to Ford, he didn't know what the incentive was, but that was enough. Li Zhiwen continued to look down.

Volvo started by producing cars. Its founders, Gustav Larsen and Asa Gebrison, both originally worked for SKF, a well-known Swedish ball bearing manufacturer. Sen is an international marketing manager with an economic background. Due to their forward-looking and enthusiasm for automobiles, the two worked together to successfully persuade the SKF board of directors in September 1925 to borrow the company's factory in Tesla for the assembly of the prototype car, and on August 10, 1926. It was authorized to officially start mass production of the new car.

Volvo's first product was the Volvo V4 convertible launched on April 14, 1927~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Due to its excellent sales performance, Volvo officially broke away from its parent company SKF in 1935. Continue to operate independently for Volvo. Until now, Volvo Cars has always been owned by Volvo, which is a world-renowned manufacturer of commercial vehicles besides passenger cars. Its products also include aerospace, aviation equipment and various machinery.

In 1935, Volvo Cars was listed on the Swedish Stock Exchange.

In 1944, the Volvo PV444 was Volvo's first "people's car".

In 1955, PV444 was first exported to the United States.

In 1964, the Torslanda factory was inaugurated.

In 1966, the Volvo 144 was named "the safest car in the world".

In 1972, Volvo acquired DAF in the Netherlands and its factory in Born.

In 1976 Volvo became the first car manufacturer in the world to use a catalytic exhaust purifier and an oxygen sensor. The three-way catalytic converter with an oxygen sensor reduces harmful exhaust emissions by 90%.

In 1982, the Volvo 760 was launched and achieved global success.

It can be said that at this time, the Volvo Group has a long history and has a high reputation in the world.
