Chapter 198: The Treatment of the Strong (Happy New Year to All)

It is a fact recognized by the world that although the history of the United States is only more than 200 years, there is really no shortage of smart people in this country that has drawn nourishment from various civilizations around the world.

In the beginning, Chrysler may have been the only one secretly promoting the spread of this video, but Ford Motors, General Motors, and AMC Motors are not stupid, and after realizing how powerful this kind of video will be to their competitors, they immediately began to secretly push some "folk car experts" to make similar review videos, and actively promote the spread of these review videos among major Japanese car clubs in the United States.

It is clear that this video is pushing even more lethal than in the public under the water, and the huge auto giants have quietly reached a tacit understanding of advancing and retreating together, not only that, but these American auto giants have also learned the best trick of the Internet trolls more than 30 years later: if you plan to hack a certain model and raise a certain model at the same time, you will desperately find which model of the hacked car was hit in a car accident and the extremely miserable photos, these photos will definitely make the smelling sad and the seeers cry:

Miserable!

It's so miserable, Japanese cars are so unsafe, for the sake of their own lives, they can't buy Japanese cars in this life, American cars are gasoline, Japanese cars are deadly!

Under the covert impetus of several forces, these tapes and the photos recorded in the tapes began to quietly spread in countless large and small Honda and Toyota car clubs in North America......

Even these seemingly enterprising Japanese companies in the late 70s had the same common problem as Japanese companies 30 years later: bureaucratic habits were so bad that when the headquarters of Toyota and Honda learned that a wave of American people demanding the withdrawal of cars had broken out in the United States, they were stunned for a while......

Why is this happening?

Aren't our cars very popular with Americans?

Kawashima and Eiji Toyoda, who had not yet established absolute confidence in the American auto market, bit their cheeks and said in trembling voices almost at the same moment: "Check! Go and find out to me what is going on in all this and what is happening in the American market!"

The results of the survey were quickly fed back to Japan.

The reason is beyond Kawashima's preference and Toyota's imagination: Americans believe that Japanese cars, although fuel-efficient, are not safe enough, and that their own lives are more important than the little money they save on gas.

As the worst one to be hacked, Honda was also the first to get the investigation report, looking at the investigation report in front of him, Kawashima was really incredulous: "Just because of this?"

The assistant lowered his head: "Yes, Your Excellency President, that's because of this." ”

“......”

How so?

At the same time, it was a little incomprehensible to Kawashima's preferences, and he even felt a little aggrieved in his heart: these damn British and American ghost animals, don't you even understand the truth that you get what you pay for, a total of three or four thousand dollars, you have to save fuel, have a lot of space, and be safe......

How is it possible to do both?

The truth that fish and bear's paws can't have both, don't these British and American ghost animals like turtles know it?

"What about Toyota, is that why is that too?" asked Kawashima after a long pause.

"We don't have detailed evidence, but now it seems...... It seems to be. The assistant lowered his head again.

“......”

After a long silence, Kawashima asked again, "What about our competitors?"

Knowing that the president of his house was not asking about the Toyota Corolla, but about the Chrysler family, the assistant lowered his head and lowered his voice again: "Just yesterday, the daily sales of the Chrysler family exceeded 750 units, and ...... They have already accumulated more than 30,000 orders. ”

More than 30,000 units were ordered......

Hearing this number, Kawashima was envious in his heart: 30,000 units is almost the sales of Honda's Civic model in the U.S. market for half a year, but now, it is only the number of orders accumulated by Chrysler...... Dad is dad, is it really not acceptable?

"What else?" Kawashima was not in doubt about being designated as the successor of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. by Soichiro Honda, so he took a deep breath and asked, "How are the sales of several other American auto companies?"

"Their sales are ...... There are also different degrees of growth......"

Kawashima's lips pursed tightly: "Is that really the case?"

Although he knew that the result should be like this, when he heard the assistant's words, he was still helpless in his heart: Dad is too powerful, maybe Japan can take advantage of Dad when Dad is not paying attention, but once Dad is serious, Japan is really powerless to resist......

"No!" Kawashima said suddenly.

The assistant was stunned: No? What's wrong?

"Our Civic, Toyota's Corolla, before the appearance of Chrysler's family, has been selling very well in the American market, and even the American automobile manufacturing industry has no power to fight back, so the question is: why did the situation suddenly change so much?" Before the assistant could answer—he didn't expect the assistant to answer—Kawashima waved his hand vigorously and said in an extremely affirmative tone: "The beginning of all changes comes from the family sedan designed by Chen Gengjun for Chrysler!" ”

Is that the case?

The assistant thought about it carefully, and then, he was surprised to find: it seemed that ...... It's really like this.

"That's right, that's it!"

Finding the source of the problem, Kawashima became excited all of a sudden: "So, although it seems to be a countermeasure by American auto companies to our Japanese auto companies, but in fact, the source of all this comes from Chen Gengjun, Chen Gengjun, is really amazing, he can design an excellent car like Family, in my opinion, Famil's car is at least 10 years ahead of this era, he is really the best car design master on the planet......"

The little devil worships the strong in his bones, and Chen Geng, who designed the "family" model of Japanese cars in the North American market, not only does not hate and disgust, but worships and respects it.

Even Kawashima's preferred assistant nodded unconsciously, feeling that what President Kawashima said was really reasonable, and then said: "Your Excellency the President's words made me pause, and I even think that from the previous closing the car door and stepping on the door to the current series of offensives on the safety performance of Japanese cars, in fact, it is all from Chen Gengjun's hand, so that Chen Gengjun is not only a top car design master, but also a top marketing master." ”

"That's right, that's right," as the big apprentice of Soichiro Honda, the "craftsman" who single-handedly created Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Kawashima also inherited the characteristics of his master, Soichiro Honda, and said: "Speaking of which, this is our own mistake, we met Chen Gengjun earlier than Chrysler. We established a cooperative relationship with Chen Gengjun earlier, but we have such a good foundation, and we have not been able to further strengthen cooperation with Chen Gengjun on this basis, and all our Japanese auto companies should reflect on this......"

So what exactly does Mr. President mean? Is it ......

Thinking of that possibility, the assistant's eyes widened.

"Since Chen Gengjun thinks that he is a real car design master and marketing master, what reason do we have not to cooperate with them? And before this, we have such a good foundation for cooperation with Chen Gengjun," Kawashima said while pacing in the office, the more he said, the more excited he became, the current Honda, which has just developed in terms of automobiles, and there is no "technology Honda" Niu X in a few years, can cooperate with Chen Geng as a master of automobile design and marketing, which even makes Kawashima very excited:" Help me contact Chen Gengjun...... No, no, no, I want to personally visit Chen Gengjun and let him feel our sincerity. ”

"Are you going to visit Chen Gengjun in person?" the little assistant was a little frightened by the madness of his own president.

"That's right, I'll go myself!" Kawashima nodded heavily: "Eiji Toyoda is a great guy, I think, he will soon figure it out, we have to get ahead of him...... With Chen Gengjun's pride, I think he will only work with one Japanese car company at most...... I don't want it to be a Toyota ......."

The little assistant looked at Kawashima with a look of admiration: the president was too thoughtful.

........................

Chen Gengke didn't know that he had been remembered, at this time, he was chatting with Sun Shoupeng and Cheng Xingming of Jialing Factory, and the content of the chat was still the ambition of Jialing Factory: they wanted to make cars.

"Mr. Chen, after leaving you last time, we specially communicated with the leaders of the ministry," Sun Shoupeng's tone was very sincere: "The leaders of the ministry do not support, but they do not oppose us to make mini cars, but the leaders mean that if our mini car project can indeed bring objective foreign exchange income to the country, they will help us win the approval of this project." ”

It seems that he feels that this statement is not convincing enough, and after a pause, Sun Shoupeng said: "The leaders of our Bashu Province have also made a clear statement on this matter, even if the mini cars produced in the future cannot be approved by the central government, the Provincial Planning Commission will allow this car to be sold in Bashu Province, so Mr. Chen, you can rest assured that with the total population of nearly 100 million people in Bashu Province, it is definitely not a problem to sell 10,000 or 20,000 mini cars a year." ”

Looking at Sun Shoupeng and Cheng Xingming, who had dark circles under their eyes and a tired face, Chen Geng said in his heart that it was fake: for the sake of these two promises from the First Machine Department and Bashu Province, I don't know how much effort the two of them have put in?
