Although the expected results of this crash test will be gratifying, Zhou Jingming also has to admit that the behavior taken this time is a typical "indiscriminate attack", although it is mainly aimed at General Motors, but the rest of the car manufacturers will definitely be affected.

Because the current popular car body design, under the CNCAP crash test standard formulated by Zhou Jingming, will not pass the test, that is to say, if you want to reach the safety performance level of the Phoenix brand car, then all the car bodies must be transitioned from the current square shape to the round and slender, even a little "bun-shaped" body shape.

Like it or not, this is the future of car styling!

Because even if there is no such a show made by Zhou Jingming this afternoon, the world's automobile industry will change from a square body shape to a rounded body shape at the turn of the millennium century in 2000, and the release of the new Civic, Toyota Vios and Peugeot 307 models in that year are all launched with this design.

And Zhou Jingming is nothing more than advancing this trend by ten years.

Because the experiment was carried out in the United States, and the comparison vehicles used were all GM models, the car sales in the United States will definitely be the first to decrease, and then it will spread to Europe and even the entire automobile market!

This is not what Zhou Jingming wants to do on purpose, but the consequences of this cannot be ignored.

"What Mr. Zhou means is that for the sake of driving safety, the sales of all the cars we currently produce will be greatly affected?" Zhou Jingming said, and Brandt's heart tightened.

"That's right. Zhou Jingming nodded with a wry smile, "If you don't make changes to the body shape as soon as possible, it will be a matter of time before sales decrease, but because of the US market as a buffer, you still have a lot of time to react." ”

In fact, as long as the CNCAP crash test standard is not recognized by the entire world automobile industry and does not become a recognized standard for crash testing, the impact of this incident on Volkswagen and other automakers will definitely be far less than that of General Motors.

"Mr. Zhou, you can be regarded as making us miserable this time. After thinking about this, Brant couldn't help but smile bitterly, Zhou Jingming's fuss can be said to have pulled all the car manufacturers except China's domestic car manufacturers into the water......

"I'm sorry, I certainly didn't mean to do that, but if you need anything about the design, I can help. Zhou Jingming said apologetically.

Audi has always been very helpful to Zhou Jingming, and the two sides have a superior cooperative relationship, Zhou Jingming naturally wants to minimize Audi's losses.

At this time, Fleming, who understood Zhou Jingming's intentions, hurried to the headquarters of General Motors, and was just about to report the matter to the company, but after thinking about it, Fleming began to hesitate again.

If he told the company the whole thing, wouldn't he admit that he had caused the incident? When the time comes, won't he be the first to be punished when the company will be held responsible?

"Anyway, the result of this matter is already irreversible, what is the point of saying it now?" In the end, Fleming successfully persuaded himself, feeling that it was better not to wade into troubled waters, but the resentment towards Zhou Jingming in his heart was getting deeper and deeper.

And Fleming's behavior before and after also laid the groundwork for the meeting to ruin his career.

With the end of the press conference, the impact of this incident began to slowly ferment, and the most direct manifestation is that the scheduled sales of Phoenix brand sedans began to increase in a straight line.

In just one afternoon, the number of Phoenix cars booked has reached more than 380, and this number continues to grow.

Because the computer age had not yet arrived at this time, the dissemination of information could only rely on media such as newspapers, so the results of this crash test were only circulating nearby, and Detroit, and even the rest of the United States, did not know about the existence of this matter.

Once the news spreads through the media tomorrow, one can imagine what a huge impact it will have.

Early the next morning, a shocking piece of news spread throughout Detroit, and two of Detroit's largest newspapers, the Detroit Free Press and the Detroit News, devoted a full front page to the crash test conducted yesterday.

"The car brand we trust is actually an invisible road killer!" is the headline of the "Detroit Free Press" report on the news, below the headline, there are two contrasting photos: the badly damaged General Motors, and the slightly damaged Phoenix sedan, and at the same time, in the main report, there are also many photos taken at the scene.

Compared with the "Detroit Free Press", which focuses on the huge difference in vehicle safety performance, the "Detroit News" focuses on the crash test standard this time, focusing on the "side impact test" that has never existed in the United States, and at the end of the article, it calls on the relevant departments of the United States to take countermeasures as soon as possible, otherwise it will be fully surpassed by China.

Not only these two newspapers, but also the rest of the news media are also vying to report on this incident, and you can see experimental comparison photos taken at the scene in the depths, and you can see reports on this incident everywhere, and only one morning has passed, and this incident has become the hottest news in the whole of Detroit.

"It's so terrible, I never thought that the car I drive to work every day would be so vulnerable!"

"I was scared into a cold sweat, we can't accept such a result, General Motors must give an answer!"

"What else can I say, hurry up and buy a Phoenix car!"

"China, which has always lagged behind in the automobile industry, is ahead of us in the United States in terms of crash test standards related to driving safety, and our automakers, should we reflect on it?"

…………

There are people everywhere who are talking about this matter, because many photos taken at the crash test site have made many American people afraid for a while, so many people have chosen not to drive out, and the number of vehicles on the originally busy highway has decreased a lot.

It is really surprising that Detroit, which is famous for its Motor City, has such a situation.

Not only that, GM's side is also in unprecedented trouble, the originally popular 4S store, has become unattended, and more seriously, many GM owners actually gathered at GM's 4S store and the door of GM's headquarters to ask GM to give an explanation.

General Motors, the first to bear the brunt of this incident, withstood the first wave of attacks.
