Chapter 0375 - Shocking Crash
Like the vast majority of Chinese, Zhou Jingming is not the kind of competitive person in his bones, so in most cases, Zhou Jingming likes to expand his business territory through fair competition, whether it is in the domestic FAW, the second automobile, or abroad Bosch and Audi, Zhou Jingming can achieve a mutually beneficial result through business cooperation.
But for Fleming's method, Zhou Jingming really can't continue to maintain a gentleman's attitude, from the very beginning of contact with Fleming, Zhou Jingming hated his superiority attitude very much, as if he was born an American, what a proud thing!
There is a saying that the best way to deal with a rogue is to be more rogue than him!
Since Fleming hooligans come first, don't blame Zhou Jingming hooligans later.
"Mr. Zhou, are you going to clarify this matter by summoning these reporters here at this time?" asked Brandt, puzzled.
If you only think about it at this time, isn't it a little late?
"You'll know when the time comes. Zhou Jingming smiled and shook his head, "This matter will trouble Mr. Brandt." ”
Zhou Jingming doesn't feel that he needs to clarify anything, he just needs to let all consumers recognize one fact, that is, the Phoenix brand sedan is definitely the best car in the world with the best safety performance among the models of the same level!
And this kind of thing, Zhou Jingming said that there is no evidence, so let them recognize the facts, and he can also take this opportunity to change the current pattern of the world's automobile industry!
Taking advantage of this crisis is likely to be a godsend for Zhou Jingming!
"Tomorrow afternoon, right? Brant didn't know why, but always felt that what Zhou Jingming was going to do this time would be an earth-shattering event.
At this time, in the coffee shop behind Zhou Jingming, Fleming was sitting there with a gloomy face, and the direction his eyes were looking at was the direction in which Zhou Jingming disappeared.
"Show me a clear path? You are also worthy! Do you really think that if you build a small company with the size of a slap in China, you will dare to argue with our General Motors Company?" Fleming snorted coldly, "Even if we stagnate, it will take at least 50 years for your Chinese automobile industry to catch up with us, and I really don't know where you got the courage to fight with me! You even dare to refuse the olive branch I threw out!"
***
After returning to the hotel, Zhou Jingming adjusted a little, and then washed up and went to sleep, compared to the worry in the morning, after the showdown with Fleming, Zhou Jingming felt very relaxed.
Early the next morning, many local newspapers in Detroit reported on the smashing of the Phoenix car, and the word "China" was inevitably used in the headline of each newspaper.
"A microcosm of China's auto industry development," was the headline of one of Detroit's largest newspapers...... As the first Chinese model to try to enter the American market, the good performance of this Phoenix sedan in the European market did not bring good luck to this attempt, and even less than a week after entering the American market, there was a credibility crisis...... The car smashing incident shows that with the current level of development of China's automobile industry, there is still a long way to go if it wants to gain a foothold in the United States......"
Zhou Jingming was eating breakfast, holding various newspapers, browsing one by one, in addition to this newspaper, there are at least five local newspapers, which also made a detailed report on this matter, but because Zhou Jingming has not been interviewed by these people yesterday and has not made any response to this matter, so many newspapers have speculated with the greatest malice that Zhou Jingming is weak and does not dare to face consumers......
"Mr. Zhou, are you still in the mood to watch these?" Brant, who was sitting opposite Zhou Jingming, could still laugh when he saw Zhou Jingming. I couldn't help but ask.
"It's just fun, it's so interesting to watch these people talk about serious nonsense. Zhou Jingming smiled, and then put down the newspaper in his hand, "Mr. Brandt, have all the things I said last night been arranged?"
"I've already asked people to buy the cars you want, and as for the media reporters, this is a good arrangement, I'll go back after dinner, they wish there would be such a press conference!" Brandt paused, hesitated, and then asked, "Mr. Zhou, why do you want to buy so many GM cars?"
"Of course, it's for comparative testing. Zhou Jingming replied with a smile.
"Experiments, what experiments?" Brant suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
"Crash test!" Zhou Jingming finished drinking the last sip of milk and stretched his waist comfortably, "I'm ready to work." ”
Since Fleming's starting point for attacking the Phoenix sedan is safety performance, then Zhou Jingming asked these people to take a good look at what is called safety, and there is nothing that can monitor the safety performance of a car more than a crash test.
"Thanks to" the indiscriminate reports of these newspapers, in the morning, nearly 100 consumers went to the franchise store to cancel their reservations for the Phoenix car, and even many owners who had already bought the Phoenix car also went there to ask for an explanation and ask for a return.
For these demands, Zhou Jingming agreed unconditionally, starting from scratch until now, Zhou Jingming has not talked about what kind of formation, this little wind and small waves can't scare him.
The morning passed quickly, and the press conference in the afternoon was also held as scheduled, Audi has been operating here for so many years, and many local media, are maintaining good relations, especially when I heard that this reception, it was even related to the car smashing incident, so these newspapers, hurriedly sent the most elite lineup, is bound to report the latest news about this matter.
Because the reception was held on an abandoned road, in addition to media reporters, it also attracted many American people to come to watch, whether at home or abroad, the group of melon-eating people will never be absent.
As the first to buy a Phoenix car, Jerry also drove here at this time, the car smashing incident began to come out yesterday, has been fermenting until now, the impact has forced Jerry to pay attention to this matter, although he bought this car when he first took a fancy to the cheap price and driving experience is particularly good, but the safety performance of the vehicle, Jerry can not ignore.
At this time, on the road, there are neatly placed rows of GM series car brands, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet...... Everything is available, and in addition, there are several fiery red Phoenix cars.
These reporters and the public naturally didn't know what Zhou Jingming's idea was this time, so they could only wait anxiously on the sidelines.
It wasn't until nine o'clock that Zhou Jingming drove the car and appeared in everyone's field of vision, and as soon as he got out of the car, he was immediately surrounded by reporters......
