Chapter 0379 Industry Norms
After being interviewed by several newspapers, the press conference was officially over, the crowd of onlookers had dispersed, and Zhou Jingming was helping several people at the scene to clean up the mess after the collision test. Several trailers are towing the wrecked vehicle outside.
For this crash test, Zhou Jingming has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars before and after, whether it is to buy these new cars, or to use dummies for experiments, or to hire third-party evaluation agencies, all of which require real money.
But Zhou Jingming did not feel distressed at all, this crash test, not only successfully dispelled the doubts of American consumers about the Phoenix brand car, but also equivalent to a disguised marketing means, tomorrow the news published in the major newspapers, will be a kind of free advertising resources, these, for the Phoenix brand car, are a rare opportunity!
What's more, once tomorrow's newspaper publishes the results, it will have an irreversible negative impact on General Motors and Ford and other vehicles sold in the United States, as well as all vehicles sold in the United States.
A large part of the sharp decline in sales of these car brands will be directly absorbed by the Phoenix car and the upcoming Kirin car, so that the sales of the Phoenix car in the United States and even the entire European and American markets will show a geometric growth way, and Tianming Automobile Company can also take the opportunity to seize the American market!
Before Zhou Jingming decided to hold this press conference, he had already taken all these follow-up effects into account, and last night, he went to Fleming, in fact, it was also for this matter, if Fleming could do what he said and clarify the whole process of the car smashing incident, then Zhou Jingming would not take such an extreme way to occupy the American market.
He had already reminded Fleming, "Don't blame him for being rude", in this case, it is not rude to come, Fleming of General Motors gave Zhou Jingming a meeting gift for the car smashing incident, and Zhou Jingming had to return a gift package for their crash test.
Whether it is the sharp decline in GM's sales or the weakening of the brand effect, it can only be said that GM is to blame.
And it was precisely because Fleming thought about this that he finally turned pale with fright, and hurried back to the General Motors headquarters, ready to report the matter to the company.
Therefore, the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on the whole incident this time will not take long to return to Zhou Jingming a thousand times over.
"Mr. Zhou, can you ask, is the crash test standard you provided us this time really the test standard that China is currently implementing?" This time, James, the person in charge of the third-party evaluation agency, couldn't help but walk up to Zhou Jingming and asked,
"I don't mean to belittle the level of China's auto industry, I just don't understand, according to our agency's understanding of your country in the past few years, the crash test standards you implement seem to be copied from the relevant standards in the United States and Europe, and have also been weakened accordingly, why are today's standards so strict?"
The more James said, the more curious he became, the evaluation agency he worked for a long time was responsible for the evaluation of the new car crash test of GM, Ford and Chrysler, which were local American automakers, and also understood the test standards in Europe.
Not only the test standards are more stringent, but also the test conditions are more standardized, and the crash test is subdivided according to a variety of conditions, and its standard level has far exceeded the current test standards in the United States.
Although James has long wanted to improve the current crash test standard, he has never had a specific direction, but the specification standard that Zhou Jingming took out gave him a lot of inspiration, because this is the kind of crash test standard he has always wanted!
When did China quietly surpass Europe and the United States in this aspect and walk in the forefront of the world's automobile industry? !
"This crash test standard, our country has begun to compile as early as last year, officially began to implement in January this year, all new cars in China, must pass such a crash test monitoring, in order to be able to sell smoothly on the market, the English name is ChineseNewCarAssessmentProgram, referred to as CNCAP, and has been officially written into the relevant laws. Zhou Jingming replied with a smile.
The prototype is based on the NCAP crash test standard issued by Germany in 1997, and Zhou Jingming has made corresponding improvements according to the actual situation in China, making this standard an industry standard in line with the current Chinese national conditions.
“CNCAP。 James whispered a sentence in his mouth, and then looked at Zhou Jingming, "I really didn't expect that your Chinese automobile industry is developing so rapidly, it is really surprising, I have a hunch that this CNCAP crash test standard will soon become the industry standard for the entire world's automobile industry!"
Zhou Jingming smiled, noncommittal, for a long time, whether it is emission regulations, or safety regulations, Europe and the United States have always been a model for the world to learn, China's specifications for the automobile industry, basically with reference to Europe and the United States, now, should also change the position, by China to play the leading role in the automobile industry.
Being able to formulate industry norms for the automobile industry means that China's automobile industry has really risen.
After cleaning up here, Zhou Jingming and Brant returned to the hotel, today's things are just the beginning, there are still a series of things to be arranged in the future, Zhou Jingming must make a plan with Brant, otherwise he will definitely be in a hurry.
"After this reception, no one should question the safety performance of the Phoenix sedan. Brandt was in a happy mood and couldn't help but smile and ask.
If the Phoenix sedan can gain a firm foothold in the U.S. market, it will also be a win-win situation for Audi.
"That's for sure, but there's a lot more that needs to be done. The second batch of 500 Phoenix cars should have arrived in Detroit, this batch of cars, will definitely not be able to meet the consumer demand behind, after this incident, the sales of Phoenix cars in the United States market, will definitely surge, so, our joint venture factory, should be ready, the third batch of cars shipped to the United States, should also be prepared in advance. ”
"I know this, I'll contact Munich in a while, let the factory get ready, the third batch of vehicles, tomorrow can go. Brandt nodded.
"In addition," Zhou Jingming hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "Audi AG, or the entire Volkswagen company, must also be ready for vehicle replacement, and the results of this crash test will form a domino effect, and all car manufacturers will be affected." ”
