General Motors Headquarters.

The world's largest automaker is experiencing an unprecedented crisis, and since the Detroit news media reported yesterday's crash test results in the morning, the entire GM has been caught up in consumer condemnation.

At this time, in the conference room of the headquarters, the atmosphere was extremely serious, and all the middle and senior managers of the company who were still in Detroit were all listed.

"Just over two hours have passed since the media exposed this incident in the morning, and our GM stock price has fallen by more than 10% , and there is still no sign of stopping, not only that, many dealers who have booked the company's models, there are also a lot of calls to return the goods, Detroit a number of General Motors 4S stores, there have also been consumer rights protection incidents, this is just the beginning, not until tomorrow, these things will spread from Detroit to the entire United States, and even the world's automobile market, when the time comes, the loss caused to our General Motors will be immeasurable!"

Lindeman, the CEO of General Motors, sat at the conference table and said with a serious face.

Lindemann also knew that such a thing had happened yesterday when he saw the newspaper in the morning, and when he saw the news, Lindemann panicked at that time, and he didn't even bother to eat breakfast, so he reported the matter to the board of directors as soon as possible.

However, the severity of the series of events triggered by this news still exceeded Lindemann's expectations, and the decline in stock prices was the most direct manifestation, and then a series of news from the sales company to cancel the order, not only that, but General Motors' 4S store, and even the entrance of the headquarters, gathered more and more car owners, came to denounce GM, and asked GM to give a reasonable explanation.

The board of directors of General Motors could not sit still and demanded that the company's senior management immediately give a plan for how to deal with the matter and investigate the cause of the whole matter, and Lindeman was meeting on behalf of the board of directors at this time.

"Since the establishment of the company, nearly 100 years of development history, General Motors has never encountered such a thing, at this time at the door of our headquarters, surrounded by a group of consumers who came to ask for an explanation, I want to ask you, how to solve this matter, if it is not handled well, we have to lose our jobs. Lindemann glanced at the crowd and continued.

The atmosphere in the conference room became more and more serious, because it was the first time they had encountered such a thing, and the entire GM models on sale were all developed according to the same crash test standards, unless they were re-developed according to the CNCAP crash test standards currently being implemented in China, otherwise, how could it be so easy to reverse the current situation.

However, if the vehicle is re-developed, it will take a long time, and the pressure on GM during this period will not be great.

"President, this is obviously something that someone did on purpose. I went to know the Chinese who organized the press conference, he owns a car company of his own, and he must have done this to take advantage of the opportunity to compete for our share of the domestic market. Someone quickly replied.

"Did this on purpose?" Lindeman sneered, "Then why don't you tell me what happened before that?"

As he spoke, Lindemann directly looked at Fleming, who was sitting on the table, as a senior official of the sales company, Fleming was also a middle-level manager in the entire General Motors, so he also participated in this meeting.

Lindeman looked at him like this, Fleming's whole body couldn't help but tremble, after a night of thinking over and over again, Fleming still found Lindemann this morning, and told Lindemann the ins and outs of the whole thing.

This kind of thing, as long as Lindemann wants to understand, he will always know, and it is much better to confess it himself than to be found out.

"It's extremely stupid!" Lindemann couldn't help but slam the table, "He actually used this method to engage in malicious competition! We, General Motors, have been rooted in the United States for nearly 100 years, and we are still worried about a newly established Chinese automobile company? What is even more hateful is that there are even personal grudges in this, which is unattainable!"

The more Lindeman talked, the more angry he became, from Zhou Jingming's point of view, Lindeman could fully understand Zhou Jingming's approach, and Zhou Jingming just wanted to justify the name of his company's cars, and the series of things that followed were completely triggered.

"President, this matter is not unsolvable, doesn't he want to gain a foothold in our American market? Let's go to the Ministry of Commerce and let the Ministry of Commerce put this company on the import blacklist, with our relationship with General Motors, this should be no problem. Fleming said tremblingly, but because of his nervousness, what he said was completely out of touch with the problem at hand.

"What about after being blacklisted? Will GM's problem be solved? Do you know that now that the news has spread to the rest of the world, what if you just ban this Chinese company?" Lindemann slapped the table again.

"I also tell you that regarding the side impact test, we in the United States are already considering including this in the relevant laws for the development of new cars, and China's current crash test standards are indeed better than ours, even if there is no such thing as today, our crash test standards in the United States will evolve in this direction!"

"You still don't think about how to learn from others, and you still want to think crookedly!"

Lindemann calmed down his emotions, and then looked at everyone again, "The product department will immediately hold a technical meeting, set up a replacement project team, and re-improve the body for me in accordance with the design standards of the Phoenix brand car.

"In addition," Lindemann glanced in Fleming's direction again, "Fleming violated the company's regulations and caused huge losses to the company, and the company reserves the right to pursue legal responsibility, and from tomorrow, he will not be used to work." ”

After listening to Lindeman's words, Fleming was stunned, and he was stunned for a while.

After the meeting, GM's product department entered a state of emergency, in accordance with the requirements of CNCAP crash test standards, all GM's current models, the body needs to be partially strengthened, otherwise there is no way to pass the crash test.

However, this kind of remedial measures are not at all able to alleviate the current predicament of General Motors, and after the news spread throughout the United States, General Motors' 4S stores in major cities in the United States have suffered varying degrees of losses, and even worse, they smashed the car directly at the door of GM's headquarters.

Not only General Motors, but also Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, and Volkswagen have all affected their car sales in the United States, and the scope of the impact has spread from Detroit to the rest of the United States, and even to the European market outside the United States.

This incident was like a domino, starting with GM and gradually spreading to the rest of the automakers, and a vigorous body design revolution began.
