Chapter 1182 - Tou Tie (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Sir, it's just that bastard's warning to us," Les Christophe's face was solemn, and in front of Yoshifumi Tsuji, he didn't even have a basic honorific title for Chen Geng, and directly replaced it with "that bastard": "You have to make a decision as soon as possible......"
Yoshifumi Tsuji waved his hand anxiously.
He knew that Les Christophe meant to warn himself that if he didn't agree to Chen Geng's conditions, that guy would definitely have other tricks to wait for Nissan next, such as he could persuade the IIHS to crash test Nissan in advance.
But despite this, he is only one of the previous presidents of Nissan Motor, and such a major decision as changing the transmission supplier is not at all qualified for Dongying Industry, which is accustomed to cross-shareholding between suppliers.
Looking at Yoshifumi Tsuji, who looked anxious, Les Christophe shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything more, but his heart began to spin.
Les Christophe has worked in Nissan Motor North America for more than 10 years, and he also understands some of the characteristics of Dongying enterprises, and a very common problem of these enterprises is low efficiency and serious bureaucracy.
Nissan is not expected to have a good time in the U.S. market, for this point, Les Christophe thinks that he still sees it very clearly, since Nissan has become a broken ship that has begun to leak, should he find a way to get off the ship early?

Nissan has not agreed to purchase a gearbox from AMC, in the current media on the safety of Japanese cars has become more and more noisy, Nissan Motor's reaction is really a bit unexpected Chen Geng, in order to make sure that the work of the following people is negligent, Chen Geng confirmed to Leilani Taylor: "Leilani, Nissan has not contacted us in the past few days?"
Chen Geng couldn't understand this question, in fact, Leilani Taylor couldn't understand it even more, today alone, she asked twice, and now when she heard Chen Geng ask, she hurriedly replied: "Boss, I asked, no, since the last fight, Nissan has not contacted you." ”
"Tsk......"
Chen Geng rubbed his teeth and couldn't help but ask Leilani Taylor, "Could it be that my conditions are too much?"
"What kind of excesses is this?" Leilani Taylor completely disagreed with Chen Geng's words: "Boss, you just require Nissan to equip the models sold in the North American market with AMC transmissions, and you don't require all Nissan cars to be equipped with AMC transmissions.
Our gearbox is not only stable and reliable in quality, but also not much more expensive than jatco's gearbox, if you take into account that jatco's gearbox is shipped from Dongying, counting freight and tariffs, jatco's gearbox is even a little more expensive than our AMC's, from here, our gearbox even has some price advantages, not only did they not suffer, but they still took advantage of it. ”
"That's right," Chen Geng nodded: "But since that's the case, then why doesn't Nissan still respond?"
"Well, I guess I have to ask God," Leilani Taylor shrugged, she couldn't understand why Nissan refused to buy a gearbox from AMC, "Maybe only God knows what is going on in the hearts of the people of Dongying." ”
"So be it. Chen Geng nodded and didn't say anything more.
Since Nissan refuses to bow its head, there is no reason for it to get on the pole.
Speaking of which, since Nissan refused to bow his head, Chen Geng made a phone call to IIHS while admiring their hard bones, so that Nissan also enjoyed the treatment of cutting in line - as for whether this treatment of cutting in line is what Nissan wants, it is none of his business.

As one of the largest television stations in the United States, once Fox TV decided to do something, the efficiency was high, and soon, they jointly organized a car teardown test with "Car and Driver" magazine and officially landed on Fox TV.
According to the host, the five cars dismantled by Fox TV this time: Toyota Camry, Toyota Corolla, Honda Accord, AMC New Century and Ford Mondeo were all purchased by Fox TV at its own expense from the market, so it can ensure sufficient fairness.
We won't talk about the specific comparison and evaluation process, otherwise there is a suspicion of the number of water words, so we will directly say the results: in this comparison and dismantling evaluation, Dongying's three cars lag behind AMC New Century and Ford Mondeo in all aspects in terms of body materials, steel plate thickness, steel plate strength, cable thickness, sound insulation treatment, seat cushion foam thickness, etc.
Therefore, the final conclusion of Fox TV is: "American cars, in addition to being a little more expensive and making consumers feel uncomfortable, are all-round winners in terms of safety and comfort, while Japanese cars, in addition to being cheap and fuel-efficient, are a big step behind New Century and Mondeo in terms of safety and comfort." ”
As we said earlier, the safety of the car is a very complex problem, designed to many aspects, but the people don't care so much, in this comparative test, they saw one point: when it comes to materials, Japanese cars are not as good as American cars are real and solid, the thickness of steel plates is not as good as American cars, not to mention, the hardness is still a lot worse.
That's enough!
After watching the car teardown event jointly organized by Fox TV and "Car and Driver" magazine, the American people suddenly realized that they suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Japanese cars performed so poorly in the IIHS crash test and were usually more fuel-efficient to drive.
The body is made of less material, the car is lighter, the power that needs to push the car is relatively small, and the output power is small, so you don't need to use so much gasoline, but isn't it fuel-efficient.
This argument, under the secret and vigorous promotion of Chen Geng and Bill Ford, was immediately unanimously approved by the American people: That's right, that's it, for the sake of your own life, but if you really can't come up with money, it's better not to buy a Japanese car, although a Japanese car saves money, but it doesn't save your life at a critical moment.
Fox TV's teardown and comparison evaluation program in this issue made the situation of Japanese cars, which had been rapidly declining due to IIHS crash tests, even more embarrassing, almost overnight, Japanese cars became rats in the sewers, and everyone shouted and beaten, and for Elliott Richardson's invitation, Chen Geng finally made a decision......
