Facing the four leading figures in the Japanese automotive industry: Eiji Toyoda, Chairman of Toyota Motor Co., Ltd., Tengo Ishihara, Chairman of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., Toshihide Sokoku, Chairman of Honda Motor Co., Ltd., and Koji Nakamura, President of Fuji Subaru Motor Co., Ltd. Yoichiro Okazaki, who had just taken over the post of president of Mitsubishi Motor Corporation from the hands of the dead man Joe Nishioka, had to bow his head.

"Japanese cars are one, no matter how competitive we are internally, but externally, we have to be consistent! This is the excellent tradition of our Yamato nation," Eiji Toyoda, the patriarch of Japanese automobiles and who had never spoken, finally opened his mouth slowly at this time, "I think it's okay." ”

Everyone was amazed!

Eiji Honda's words were like a pair of big slaps in their faces, Rao is that these guys are all old fritters one by one, and the thickness of their faces has been impenetrable by the gun of exercise, but at this time, they still feel hot on their faces: Japan, a country that wants resources but no resources, and land but no land, can have its current status in the world, and the most important point is that Yamato is united as one! Eiji Toyoda's predecessors clearly want to tell themselves that at this time, Japan, must be united, and they can't laugh at each other and gloat at this time.

"Naturally, we at Nissan will not sit idly by and watch Mitsubishi being so suppressed by Alice Motors." Nissan Motor's Ishihara Fujio was the second to make a statement after Eiji Toyota.

With the statements of these two guys, things are much easier......

However, Nishioka Joe apparently did not put it first, for Mitsubishi. When he solved Japan's domestic problems, before the Alice Group made any moves, DaimlerChrysler, the world's second-largest automaker, and the world's fifth-largest automobile production company, suddenly went berserk.

On December 15, a few days before Christmas, Mitsubishi Motors Co., Ltd., which was trying to become a superstar on its own behalf, suddenly held a press conference to announce that DaimlerChrysler had decided to terminate the negotiation plan for cooperation with Mitsubishi Motor Co., Ltd., a Japanese automobile manufacturer, in an attitude of being responsible to its customers, and would permanently suspend the negotiation plan for this cooperation.

"DaimlerChrysler AG is a company that is highly responsible for users, and has always been committed to manufacturing products that satisfy users, and will never do anything to be sorry for our esteemed customers." At the end of the press conference, the press officer of DaimlerChrysler AG and a beautiful blonde businesswoman, Erin Murphy. Abigail said in an interview with reporters, consciously or unintentionally accusing Mitsubishi of its previous stupid actions.

Mitsubishi Motors, who was constantly playing a 9980-980 general trick on DaimlerChrysler, was kicked away by her big financier when she was about to be successfully maintained by DaimlerChrysler?

This news is like thunder! In an instant, it spread throughout the global village!

All those who follow this matter are stupid, including Mitsubishi and Honda, Toyota, Nissan, and Mazda: when did DaimlerChrysler go so far as to wear the same pants as Alice Group?

DaimlerChrysler also had its own unavoidable difficulties in making this decision: When the impact of Mitsubishi Motors' quality problems was still limited to China, they naturally did not give up cooperation with Mitsubishi Corporation, but on the contrary, they took advantage of this incident to ruthlessly extort Mitsubishi Corporation. …,

But when the quality problems of Mitsubishi Motors and the subsequent response to the crisis can only be described as stupid, and the situation that Toyota encountered in the American market spread around the world, if DaimlerChrysler still intends to cooperate with Mitsubishi, it will be tantamount to digging a big grave for itself! All Europeans and Americans will doubt the image of DaimlerChrysler: Does your cooperation with Mitsubishi Motors, a company that is so irresponsible to its customers, mean that you yourself are also a company that is extremely irresponsible to us?

It would be disastrous for DaimlerChrysler to create such a corporate image for consumers - in fact, because they had not made the decision to break off cooperation with Mitsubishi Motors during this time, the market had already reacted automatically: sales of DaimlerChrysler's automotive products in the market had already begun to decline. On the stock market, DaimlerChrysler's stock is also declining. Although the decline is not large, the trend of all the way down is quite obvious.

What DaimlerChrysler can't bear the most is that the sales of Mercedes-Benz, a well-deserved high-end brand under its own company, have been affected to a certain extent! This is something that DaimlerChrysler AG cannot accept under any circumstances!

At this time, even if Mitsubishi offered preferential terms for cooperation, the senior management of DaimlerChrysler knew that unless Mitsubishi declared bankruptcy and was then acquired by DaimlerChrysler, DaimlerChrysler would only be able to help itself dig a grave large enough if it cooperated with Mitsubishi Motors.

Despite their reluctance, at this time, they had to choose to be a partner of the Alice Group, if they still wanted to continue to sell their cars.

With DaimlerChrysler's statement, Mitsubishi Motors' stock was instantly spurned by countless speculators in the market, and the market was full of noises, and when Mitsubishi Motors turned its head, they found that the solution to the difficulties they encountered was still in China, which they looked down upon......

At this moment, all those who care about this matter are paying attention to the plane flying from Tokyo to Beijing, waiting for the final verdict of the Chinese on Mitsubishi Motors, and at this time. As if their collective amnesia had recovered, all the Japanese suddenly remembered the fact that Premier Zhou had reduced or waived their World War II reparation debts, and remembered the series of actions that Chinese had made over the years that were conducive to Sino-Japanese friendship, and began to sing the praises of Sino-Japanese friendship loudly......

Looking at the current situation of Mitsubishi in the newspaper, Jackie Chan patted his chest, happy and afraid: if he hadn't kept an eye on it at the beginning, said that he wanted to discuss the details of this new sponsorship contract with his agent, and signed his name behind the long list of sponsorship amounts, he would have been drowned by someone with spittle!

Although Jackie Chan is just an actor, it doesn't mean that he can't see the impact on himself, after all, a person who doesn't have a little brain can't be a big brother.

――――――――――――――――

"Why?" Brother Hu asked with a frown, = It's hard to see this kind of expression on Brother Hu's face.

"Do you know why," Zhang Lan said without humility or arrogance, looking at Brother Hu's gaze very calmly, "We can understand your thoughts, but understanding does not mean that we will let you take a piece of meat from us...... If you were us, would you honestly let us slash you? ”。

"......" Brother Hu was silent for a while, Zhang Lan's words pointed to a problem that he was most unwilling to face for a period of time, and this decision can be called the biggest wrong decision he has made in the past 20 years. …,

After a long time, Brother Hu gently tapped on the arm of his chair, "What will you do if I plan to accept Mitsubishi's opinion?" ”

Is this Brother Hu? Zhang Lan shook her head in disappointment, "Now it's not a question of what we'll do, it's a question of what you'll do if you do it." To put it too far, this is no longer the era of foolishness, and the main problem is the contradiction between the growing IQ of the common people and the declining professional ethics of the officials. Don't underestimate other people's IQ too much, I think this should be something you should have known for decades, right? Quite a few words"

The big tendons on Brother Hu's neck suddenly throbbed a few times. But he didn't say anything, just picked up the teacup he had and took a sip of water.

"By the way, do you think that in 10 years, how will the world judge our acceptance of Mitsubishi Motors' conditions?" After being silent for a while, Zhang Lan spoke.

Looking up at Zhang Lan, Brother Hu didn't speak, but he acquiesced: as a supreme leader, he couldn't help but think about these issues.

"Ten years ago, when Mitsubishi Motors was on the verge of bankruptcy because of the Pajero quality problems that occurred in our country, and when his partner DaimlerChrysler had completely abandoned them, it was our great Chinese people who saved Mitsubishi."

"We voluntarily waived the right to claim compensation from Mitsubishi Motors, and even waived the request for the recall of the Mitsubishi Pajero off-road vehicle in question, and at the same time, the state encourages the use of domestic automobile manufacturers and national private automobile enterprises that have just begun to develop to use Mitsubishi engine cars on the catalog."

"We increased the production and investment of Mitsubishi engines, donated blood for Mitsubishi with a large amount of technology transfer fees, and we Chinese helped Mitsubishi and saved Mitsubishi with our own market and money. This is the highest level of internationalism. ”

Zhang Lan spoke slowly and in a tone that seemed completely irrelevant, but Brother Hu knew that these words were just Zhang Lan's original words for later generations, and when he said this, he remembered the hurt caused to the feelings of the Chinese people by some leaders because of their own personal reasons. I can't help myself!

Brother Hu frowned, of course he could understand Zhang Lan's almost naked mockery, and of course he could understand the deeper meaning of these words, but ...... Is that really the case?

"My words are only said to you as an ordinary Chinese, not as the future successor of the Alice Group," Zhang Lan slowly stood up, "Uncle Hu, you should always remind yourself that you are a ZG person, any decision you make." All represent the people of ZG, rather than thinking too much about their own personal interests and gains. You may think that even if the problem is during your tenure, things will not get much worse, but have you ever thought about how much your interest group will need to spend to recover it in the future if you lose the hearts of the people now? Do you not know the inner cause of the once-in-a-century flood in '98? ”。

After speaking, Zhang Lan stood up and walked out without hesitation. And Brother Hu looked pensive......

On December 20, the State Council held a press conference to officially announce the attitude of the central government in cooperation with Sanlin Motors, which is unique in terms of speed: in view of the country's better choice, it was decided not to cooperate with Mitsubishi Motor Co., Ltd. of Japan, but to cooperate with Alice Group to promote the development of China's national automobile industry with more advanced engine technology and design concepts.

The Chinese government is grateful to Mitsubishi Motors for its support for the development of China's auto industry, and hopes that there will be more opportunities for cooperation between the two sides in .........the future.

After seeing the official statement of the ZG government, everyone knew that Mitsubishi Motors was about to end. And the moment Yoichiro Okazaki, the new president of Mitsubishi Motor Co., Ltd., stepped on the plane back to Japan, it was interpreted by everyone as the countdown to the bankruptcy of Mitsubishi Motors.

In China, with the government's decision to make the people feel more uplifted, the people's satisfaction with the government has increased sharply.

――――――――――――――――

By the end of the year, the Mitsubishi Motors "brake gate" incident not only did not gradually subside, but had a trend of intensification, and Mitsubishi Motors' sales not only in China, but also in the world were basically at a standstill, and Mitsubishi companies around the world were subjected to unprecedented poaching and middle-level personnel resignation...... Everyone knows that Mitsubishi Motors is finished, and if you don't think about it for yourself at this time, is it possible to wait until Mitsubishi Motors is completely finished before thinking about yourself?

And those idle eggs in China are very bored this time, to Mitsubishi Motors appeared in China's quality problems, to give a few "Mitsubishi brake door", "Mitsubishi quality door" and so on more beautiful names, plus last year's Toshiba notebook incident, overnight, it seems that those "Made in Japan" label products, instantly from the first quality to everyone shouting street rats.

Even Japanese electrical products, which have always been known for their high quality, have been affected in the Chinese market. Sales of home appliances from Panasonic and Sony all fell sharply.

In the past, people instinctively chose to believe that they had proud product quality for Japanese products on the market, but now when they see these products labeled as: Made in Japan, Made in Japan, madeinJapan, etc., it is naturally unnatural, and people have strong doubts about the quality of this product: what we bought back for a lot of money will not be the same problematic thing as Toshiba notebooks and Mitsubishi Pajero off-road vehicles, right? Not a lot of words

At this time, the famous mainland director Feng Xiaogang's Chinese New Year film "Big Shot" was released, and the black humor that can be seen everywhere in the film is making people laugh heartily, one of which is "If you drive a Japanese car, you are embarrassed to say hello to people." In the shortest possible time, it was quickly spread all over the north and south of the river and on both sides of the Yellow River, so that the first words of greeting many people who have cars and their friends who drive Japanese cars have become: "Dude, why do you still drive a Japanese car, next time let your brother see you drive a Japanese car, don't say that your brother doesn't greet you, my brother can't afford to lose that person." ”

It is said that according to incomplete statistics, in the two months after the broadcast of the movie "Big Shot", the sales volume of Japanese cars sold in the domestic automobile market has dropped by more than 30% compared with the previous two months! In the case of a market share that is not very high, the Chinese car market has suffered the coldest winter of the new millennium.

The front of Mitsubishi Motors' dealers is even more crowded, and the dust on the ground is two fingers thick!

The reason for this phenomenon, although this can not exclude the influence of the media such as Mitsubishi's "brake door" and "quality door" that has been publicized by various media before, but those who buy a car instinctively have some fear of Japanese cars: we are not afraid of spending money, and it is nothing to spend more money, we plan to buy a Japanese car, isn't it just for the quality of this car? But if we spend more money and worry about whether our lives are safe all day long, then ...... What is buying a car, it is clearly to buy an ancestor to go home and wait, do it!

If it was in the past, this sentence would not have any effect except for becoming a mutual ridicule between friends, and it was as light as a straw, but at this time, this sentence became the last straw that crushed Mitsubishi Motors.

By this time, everyone knew that Mitsubishi Motors was finished, and now even if God was the father of Mitsubishi Motors, there was no way to save the situation encountered by Mitsubishi Motors...... The God of the West has no control over the territory of the East.

On January 1, 2002, it was supposed to be the beginning of the new year and everything was renewed, but on this day, one of the most exciting news of the month came out in Japan: Yoichiro Okazaki, the president of Mitsubishi Motor Co., Ltd. of Japan, committed suicide by swallowing a gun in his Tokyo villa last night. The reporter believes that the suicide of Mr. Yoichiro Okazaki cannot be ruled out as a reason for his discouragement due to a serious setback in his career......

Putting down the newspaper in his hand with satisfaction, Zhang Lan smiled slightly: Mitsubishi Motors is finished, and the opponent ...... One less, however, doesn't it seem fun to have fewer opponents? Even if it's a left-handed fight with a right hand, it can make others think that two people are fighting!

"Alice, I have an idea...... Zhang Lan picked up the phone and said to Alice......,
