00:00 - 00:03 | All the employees are looking at a Kickstarter |
00:04 - 00:05 | page on their smart phones. |
00:05 - 00:07 | The Dahon Curl will ship this summer |
00:08 - 00:12 | to customers worldwide |
00:12 - 00:15 | from distribution centers here and here. |
00:17 - 00:19 | Dahon has promised that bike for years. |
00:19 - 00:21 | They don't have the expertise to build it. |
00:24 - 00:26 | Sir, actually... |
00:27 - 00:28 | Dahon... |
00:31 - 00:33 | Dahon builds a million bikes a year. |
00:34 - 00:36 | Their manufacturing technology is 30 years ahead of ours. |
00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone who has a Dahon at home leave the room. |
01:13 - 01:15 | Our marketing promises we're the best! |
01:15 - 01:17 | A modern competitor makes a mockery of that! |
01:18 - 01:23 | Our manufacturing costs are too high! |
01:25 - 01:28 | We can't afford to stay in London and modernize the factory! |
01:29 - 01:31 | A modern interpretation will |
01:31 - 01:34 | expose how frozen in time we are! |
01:34 - 01:37 | Get our solicitors in here! |
01:37 - 01:40 | We'll seize the first Curl in Britain! |
01:40 - 01:42 | Our patents expired almost two decades ago. |
01:42 - 01:46 | It's my design! Has Dr. Hon abandoned his engineering pride? |
01:46 - 01:48 | Sir, a dozen of his Asian competitors already build your design. |
01:48 - 01:52 | Asians! Asians! It's always Asians! |
01:53 - 01:54 | When Hon was American he built his own designs! |
01:56 - 01:57 | Now he's Chinese and building my design! |
01:57 - 02:00 | What's happened to Anglo-Saxons? |
02:00 - 02:03 | Yesterday we were the world's premier folding bike! |
02:04 - 02:08 | Today we're another Seagull Outboard Motors! |
02:08 - 02:13 | The CEO of Jaguar answers to a man |
02:14 - 02:16 | whose grandfather picked tea leaves for us! |
02:17 - 02:21 | Once the sun never set on the Empire. Now Land Rover is owned by Tata! |
02:27 - 02:29 | With Brexit we'll be hit with tariffs. |
02:30 - 02:34 | When Dahon opened that factory in Bulgaria, I beat my chest and laughed. |
02:34 - 02:36 | Well, the Bulgarians didn't vote themselves out of the EU. |
02:41 - 02:42 | We're like Morgan, with their wooden cars |
02:43 - 02:47 | while Dahon builds with hydroformed aluminum. |
02:48 - 02:53 | And what was our big news this year? |
02:54 - 02:56 | We offered a new color with a cute name! |
02:56 - 02:59 | We'll end up a niche manufacturer! |
03:00 - 03:02 | 85% of staff will go on redundancy! |
03:04 - 03:07 | Unlike Americans, we keep our health care. |
03:14 - 03:16 | I was a landscaper. |
03:19 - 03:23 | I wanted to make the world a better place. |
03:25 - 03:26 | I should have let people keep riding Bickertons. |
03:31 - 03:33 | Sturmey was sold to the Taiwanese. |
03:40 - 03:46 | Maybe we can find an Asian partner, like Strida. |
03:46 - 03:49 | Did you know Strida is now the number one folding bike in Korea? |
03:53 - 03:56 | What's the URL of that Kickstarter site? |
