With the super performance of the Overlord and Thunder, five million was already worth it.
No one would buy a tricycle for five million, but what if they bought a Gulfstream private jet for five million? They felt like they had picked up a great bargain!
Now, a considerable number of people felt this way. Not to mention five million, even if it was ten million, there would definitely be people who would buy it!
Compared with the luxury cars produced by other top car companies, the three models of the Shendun Motor Company could be said to be completely crushed in terms of performance and other aspects. Ten million was definitely worth it.
However, the number of people who would buy it would decrease a lot. Therefore, Chen Mo decided to be "merciful" and set a "more reasonable" price. It wouldn't be too cheap, but it would also ensure that the company would get the most out of it.
As for the price that was set so high, the number of people who could afford it was limited, and whether the market would be saturated soon, Chen Mo naturally did the statistics.
Not to mention other countries such as Huaxia, Europe, and the Middle East, there were more than 256,000 people with wealth of more than 30 million US dollars in the United States alone. On a global scale, the number of billionaires with assets of more than 100 million US dollars was also more than 200,000, and there were more than one million people with assets of more than 30 million US dollars. The current main customer group of the Shendun Motor Company was these people with assets of more than 30 million US dollars. After all, if their assets were only 10 million US dollars, very few people would use half of it to buy a car, even if the car was worth more than five million US dollars. Of course, some fanatical sports car enthusiasts were excluded.
With the number of this rich group, Chen Mo did not need to worry about the problem of market saturation at all. At present, the production line of these three super cars was at most 120,000 units per year. With the powerful performance of the Overlord, Thunder, and Knight crushing other luxury cars, there was no doubt that they would completely occupy the top luxury car market. It was only a matter of time before these people ordered to buy. Even if an average person only bought one, it would take a full ten years for the market to be saturated, and this did not include the problem of replacement.
Moreover, the people who would buy these three models were not limited to those with assets of more than 30 million USD. Especially the "Thunder" supercar, it would make countless people go crazy. Not to mention the millionaires, even the "millionaires" with assets of only 6 or 7 million USD were likely to buy it at all costs. Chen Mo was not like Ferrari who limited the purchase of cars to show his status. As long as there was money, he would sell it!
Therefore, the number of potential customers of Shendun Motor Company would increase by several times. There was no need to worry about market saturation.
Of course, although five million US dollars was already very "cheap", not everyone could afford this price, especially some rich second-generation heirs who needed money from their parents, and some millionaires who were watching the press conference on the Internet. They didn't care if it was bulletproof or not. The key was that they couldn't refuse the super performance of "Thunder".
Many people who liked supercars were envious of "Thunder," but the price was too high for most people. They couldn't help but be daunted. During the Q&A session after the press conference, some people stood up and asked the question in their hearts.
"Is there a less bulletproof version of" Thunder "supercar?"
Facing this question, Michael smiled gently.
"Sorry, we only make the best ones!"
…
The press conference ended successfully, and the two ads were officially released to the market. However, the scale of the release was not as overwhelming as the previous "Knight" ad.
The last time was more to promote the company's reputation, to let people know that there was a company that produced the top super cars. Now that the company was famous, it didn't need to do so again.
This time, the advertisements were more purposeful, mainly targeted at potential customers. They were released in airports, high-end clubs, clubs, and high-end magazines.
However, although they were not actively released on TV media and the Internet, and only released on Shendun Motor Company's official website and Chen Mo's Twitter, the two ads still went viral on the Internet.
"Overlord" was better, but the battle between "Thunder" and the F1 car shocked countless netizens. The number of views and reposts of the video also soared, and it even caused a great sensation in China. The impact of the F1 car, which stood on the altar, was extremely huge.
Since the press conference, many of the rapidly increasing car orders came from Huaxia. In terms of the number of rich people, Huaxia was not much less than the United States. However, there was no need to worry about these compatriots' money being taken away by the United States government through various taxes, because Chen Mo had no intention of contributing taxes to the United States government!
Although the turnover of Shendun Motor Company was very high, the "cost" was also very high. The cost of the H-2 alloy was exaggerated countless times by Chen Mo, and a large number of material purchase records were forged through Jarvis. The actual profit was pitifully small. Even the money was invested by Chen Mo into buying land, building an industrial park, advertising, and so on. Therefore, the financial situation of Shendun Motor Company was now "losing money"!
It had to be said that Chen Mo was not only black-hearted when it came to making money from the United States, but he was also very bad to the United States government!
When it was time to pay taxes, the tax department personnel would probably cry on the spot when they saw the word "losing money". They wouldn't even give me a hundred yuan!
As for the investigation, the United States tax bureau was very good, even better than the CIA in the United States. The tax inspectors were all armed, but they could not find anything from Jarvis. Moreover, according to the performance of the H-2 alloy and the cost of a special alloy with comparable performance, Shendun Motor Company was indeed "losing money"!
This was very helpless. It was legal to not give you a hundred yuan!
They could only hope that Shendun Motor Company could "turn the losses into profits" next year, but was it possible?
Whenever they made a little money, Chen Mo would spend it all. Money was just a number to him. The development of the company was what he needed. Therefore, not only would Shendun Motor Company not be profitable, Chen Mo would also continue to invest in new construction and development. If they wanted to collect taxes from Chen Mo, they would have to wait until their next life!
Moreover, even if Shendun Motor Company was profitable, Chen Mo had a hundred ways to avoid taxes. None of the major companies in the United States would honestly pay 35% corporate tax, including well-known companies such as Apple, Microsoft, and Coca-Cola. They were all using various ways to legally avoid taxes.
This included recording the profits in the name of an overseas company to avoid the supervision of the United States tax bureau, or providing the senior management with the option to buy shares at a discount in the future and deducting the huge expense as a loss from the company's income. Some companies in the industry even directly obtained special tax benefits through lobbying as subsidies for them.
In short, in the United States, which was controlled by capitalists, the people who really needed to pay taxes were actually the ordinary people. The big capitalists had many ways to legally avoid taxes, and Chen Mo was naturally one of these big capitalists.
