Harley Davidson - Lịch sử trăm năm của Niềm tự hào nước Mỹ | Câu chuyện kinh doanh

This man has just bought a bike. Unexpectedly, he just went for a while and the bike broke down. When he put the bike back together, he saw a scene that changed his life. According to you, what is that scene? Why can it change the life of this man? Welcome to School of Bull and Bear. In this episode of Business Story, let's learn about the story. Arthur Davison was born on February 11, 1881 in a small town in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. He is the youngest son of a family of five siblings. Among them are two brothers, William Davison and Walter Davison, who have a definite impact on his life and career. Since childhood, Arthur has been described as a smart, kind and kind boy. He can even sit down and talk to a stranger to understand their life in just 5 minutes. Thanks to his curiosity, he got to know William Harley during his time working at a factory in Milwaukee. The two of them are close and friendly to each other. One beautiful night, Arthur was riding a bike on the street. He was passing by a swamp in the local area when he was caught by a bicycle with a motor on it, which was displayed at the swamp. Arthur was walking and staring at the bike. However, just because he was too focused on the model, he fell into a rock and fell off the road. While he was struggling to get up, he suddenly saw a car passing by. The strange thing was that behind the car, a person was pulling a bicycle. This scene made Arthur come up with an idea that completely changed his life. Why don't I attach a motor to the bike like in the movie to make it go faster? He thought it was a good idea. He immediately took his bike to Harley's house and presented his idea. As a former architecture student, after hearing his friend's idea, Harley felt this idea was a joke and impossible. Wake up, buddy! That scene is beautiful! It's a pity that it can't happen. You don't believe me anymore? Let me show you this. Right away, Arthur pulled Harley back to the swamp to look at the car in his dream. The two of them studied carefully and re-drew the drawing of the car. Whose engine is this? The frame has to be like this. What is this for? It can be used to attach a motor to the bike. Have you finished writing? While thinking about the research, the security guard suddenly appeared. He found the two of them and kicked them out. However, with what they had studied and invented, Arthur and Harley ran straight home and caught a bike in their dream. Arthur repaired the warehouse into a processing plant for both of them to have a place to produce. At first, because of the limited financial resources, they had to go to the factory to work to make the engine of the motorbike. During a business trip, Arthur was managed by his brother William Davinson to work for the factory. Arthur was beaten by his brother in a battle in front of everyone. Nevertheless, he still let Arthur bring the parts based on some rough parts. Arthur and Harley successfully created the first engine with a displacement of 116 units and attached it to their old bike. The first step helped the two of them to be more confident in the project. However, in order to produce more motorbikes, they could not continue to use the parts to go to the factory, but needed new parts to be processed more thoroughly. Thinking about his brother, Walter Davison, the owner of a farm, Arthur wrote a letter to his brother about his project and asked for his help. Dear Walter, my brother, How are you? I want to bring you a very hot news. Recently, I joined a start-up to produce motorbikes. The engine is very powerful and fast. The power of the engine can take you anywhere. If you need to invest in a future project with this potential, please contact me. I respect you, my brother Arthur. With the experience of being a mechanic, Walter decided to come to his brother to investigate the project. However, as soon as he arrived, he saw a list of articles on the wall. Walter was immediately convinced by Harley's talent. He decided to invest all his property in his brother's motorbike project. In 1903, thanks to the money Walter sponsored, Harley & Davison was founded at Arthur's old warehouse. Even now, the company's logo is only written on the main door. After 2 years of research and product improvement, in 1905, Harley & Davison officially launched their first complete motorbike. The highlight of this motorbike is the 405cc engine block with a solid frame design. This is what makes this motorbike not just a motorbike, but it has become a model that has made the history of Harley & Davison. Although the engine components at this time had to be produced from the West Milwaukee Rail Shops, where William Davison, was a manager, although it was completely successful in terms of production and technology. But luck was not on their side when this year, the company only sold 3 motorbikes on the market. To solve this problem, the Davison brothers were determined to expand the production scale from a small warehouse. The company now moved to a larger factory at Chestnut Street, Milwaukee. Here, William Harley succeeded in creating V-Twin, a special engine block that can only be found on Harley-Davidson motorbikes. More specifically, the V-Twin engine is designed with 2 cylinders in the V-shape. Energy from the combustion process is transferred from the piston to the spark plug, then transferred to the balance shaft and finally transferred to the chassis. Almost immediately, V-Twin became the key to Harley-Davidson's success. Thanks to the V-Twin engine and its motorbike, the production has now quickly increased to 1,000 vehicles in 1907. After 9 years of establishment, Harley-Davidson quickly became one of the top American motor manufacturers. The company now has more than 200 agents from all over the country. In fact, the company is also expanding to the European market. In 1912, the first Harley-Davidson was exported to Italy. In 1917, when the United States entered World War I, new demand also appeared. Quickly catching up with the times, Harley is now pushing production to meet the needs of the army. During the war period from 1917 to 1920, it is estimated that nearly 30,000 motorbikes were exported every year just to serve the war. Harley makes cars for the army, while we advertise for Engine X.

A series of businesses were affected and Harley-Davidson was not an exception. From 20,000 motorbikes per year in 1930, Harley's revenue fell to less than 4,000 in 1933. Before that situation, the company had to transfer itself to survive. Instead of focusing on the operation, Harley is now turning the car to focus on design. In the following years, the company continuously launched improvements to the code, from water-cooled gas tanks, valves, handbrake system, leather wheels, to fashion accessories. In addition, to improve business, the company also created a relationship with the police to produce them the motorbikes called Servica. Nomna is a three-wheeled car, but it is fast enough to overtake a car. It sounds nonsense, but thanks to this windmill speed, people now like this model very much, especially the police. Thanks to Servica, the population started to recover. In 1939, World War II broke out again. Harley-Davidson is still the main producer of American military vehicles. To serve the military, the company has launched the WLA series, an improved version of the Harley-Davidson WL. During this time, more than 90,000 WLA vehicles have been produced. The WLA is a super car with motor technology, 750cc motor system with power up to 23 horsepower. Harley and his brothers proved to the world that Harley-Davidson is not a dream. They can create supercars and face competitors, especially BMW. In 1945, the World War ended, the success of WLA continued. The next decades were the most successful years of Harley-Davidson, with a series of supercars such as Harley-Davidson Van Hed, Harley-Davidson X-Ray, Harley-Davidson Fat Boy and Harley-Davidson Sporter. The Sporter series is the most expensive vehicle in the media. The brand is getting bigger but Harley's health is getting worse. Because of work, he forgot to eat and sleep. An accident caused William Harley to die at the age of 63, turning his injuries into motivation to bring his brand and his friends to a new height. Arthur has collaborated with Hollywood Harley-Davidson's supercars are not only in movies but also in Hollywood TV shows. Even celebrities use Harley-Davidson's For example, Elvis Presley, Marlon Brando, Peter Ponda. Celebrities have cars, but Harley's image is getting closer to consumers. This is the reason why Harley-Davidson has become a symbol of street style, a must-have in American culture. After many changes, the brand is now owned by Harley-Davidson Inc. In the U.S., Harley-Davidson still produces hundreds of cars every day with 9,000 employees working in the company's branches. In terms of value, it was listed in the U.S. on June 26, 1986 with the logo H-O-G. Its starting price is $11 and its initial capitalization is $148 million. It has been in the stock market for 37 years. As of now, the H-O-G stock is still being traded on the New York Stock Exchange and is listed in the Blue Chips stock group with a large capitalization and is considered reliable in investing in the stock market.
