Even a scarecrow, even a carcass: BMW found a way to stay in Russia
BMW has amazing profitability in the Russian market, but can not provide cars – sanctions. The company is subject to all possible restrictions that prevent it from doing business the “old way”. However, the Bavarians proved to be smarter than both the “renoshniks” and their eternal competitor from Baden-Württemberg. Indeed, such ingenuity can only be applauded.

Current events in the world in general and in Russia in particular “opened my eyes” and helped to find answers to many questions. For example, the age-old song about small sales in our country and an insignificant share of the total turnover of car companies is a bit “unbeatable” with the tenacity with which almost all car manufacturers protect their Russian offices. Well, with rare exceptions that prove the rule.

Because business is so bad – the “unwashed” refuses to buy new cars, continues to go against the environment and generally inhumanely exploit all the junk in the planetary scale projection – they would have given up this senseless occupation and consolidated forces on more “handshake” people. But no, by all known and unknown means they cling to the long-suffering Russian market. They don’t want to leave. In addition, they sometimes find unthinkable ways to stay to continue earning by scammer or scammer. At any cost – even a carcass, even a scarecrow.

Recently, the German concern BMW broke all records of ingenuity and cunning: the Bavarians committed a truly brilliant scam, which is worth mentioning in textbooks and even a commemorative plaque on the office wall. Feel the talent: BMW does not sell cars in Russia, but does not leave either. The local office introduced in its constituent documents, adding to the codes of types of economic activity, that is, OKVED, “storage and storage activities”. From now on, Bayerische Motoren Werke GmbH are retailers!

The newly minted “capters”, apparently, like many of their colleagues, literally and figuratively appreciated the marginality of spare parts and the loyalty of the domestic owner of Bavarian luxury, came to a very curious, even unexpected conclusion: to make a profit in Russia, you can not even sell cars. It is enough just to support the dealer network, as well as those same spare parts warehouses, so that debit and credit converge. No promotion costs, no extra people on the payroll and other costs: request-warehouse-invoice. Gain!

How many years will this activity last? Exactly two years, and then – “the war will show the plan.” In addition, as long as parallel imports work, until the previous deliveries have died out on the pillars and concrete fences, spare parts will be bought without really analyzing prices and waiting times. Consequently, the company will continue to bring in money and lots of it.

Well done Germans, a real entrepreneurial approach. You can set an example!
