Chapter 472: Detroit Auto Show

Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription!

Tao Leran returned to Changchun with satisfaction and went to prepare a new site and worker training plan, and Jin Xiaoqiang was not in a hurry to take out the drawings of the new Hongqi HQ7.

FAW is a very high-status enterprise in Changchun, and it has been operating there for so many years, and has produced red flags several times and then stopped production, so it should not be difficult to select the site and recruit personnel.

But just looking at Tao Leran's seriousness this time, it can be seen that they are very determined this time, and the degree to which Tao Leran can toss will not be small.

Therefore, it is estimated that it will take several months of hard work to complete the preparations on his side, so Jin Xiaoqiang is not in a hurry to get out the drawings of the new Hongqi car, because at this time, there are still many tasks to follow up here.

Among them, the Detroit Auto Show to be held on January 8, 2006 and ended on January 22 is the most important, this auto show, Huayang Power did not want to participate, but before Jin Xiaoqiang received an invitation to GM, as one of the most important partners of GM, Huayang Power is really not good to refuse each other.

And at present, the Qoros series, and other products of Huayang Power, are selling well in the United States through general channels, and Huayang Power has participated in large-scale auto shows all over the world, basically except for the Tokyo Motor Show.

It will make American consumers feel that Huayang Power looks down on the United States, and if it leaves a bad impression on these consumers, it will be difficult to change it in the future.

After all, for now, the United States is still the world's largest consumer market for automobiles, and the United States is still one of the world's largest automobile manufacturers.

And as the number one power in the world, the American people generally have a very unimaginable glass heart, if they feel that you don't value them, coupled with their natural hostility to the Celestial Empire, if a few bad media fanned the flames, then it is easy to create a wave of boycott of Huayang Power in North America.

Considering the above factors, in the end, Huayang Power decided to participate in the Detroit Auto Show, although this auto show is not as good as it used to be, and has been completely reduced to the last position in the four major auto shows, but the face of the Americans still has to be taken care of.

At present, although the world is peaceful, the major powers in the world are all prosperous scenes of singing and dancing, especially the United States is enjoying the dividends of their second Iraq war.

Of course, this dividend is shared by the giants of Wall Street, as well as the major giants in the United States, and as for the ordinary people, they can also get a few cups of soup to drink.

In the past two years, because of the stimulus of the war and the continuous good news from Wall Street, the import and export trade of the United States has been soaring, and the United States has continued to import small commodities from the Celestial Empire, and has taken advantage of the strength after the second Iraq War to constantly pressure the Celestial Empire to buy US Treasury bonds and lend money to the Americans to spend.

And the Americans who are used to spending big money have not failed to live up to the good intentions of the people of the Celestial Empire, many people live a comfortable life of eating and making money, many people have bought their own houses, of course, they all rely on loans, and now the bank loan approval is very easy, as long as you find the right reason, you can get money from the bank, because the people of the Celestial Empire are too enthusiastic, and often buy American treasury bonds in large quantities, so that the American people are embarrassed even if they don't spend their money.

However, in this case, the three major automobile giants in the United States are not having a good time, GM is facing the problem of many brands, and the personnel department is bloated, and many functional organizations are duplicated, and they are currently vigorously promoting their modular business philosophy, and then quietly began to lay off employees. …,

Just this month, just before Christmas for Westerners, GM quietly laid off more than 30,000 employees......

Needless to say, Ford and Chrysler are not as good in the market as GM, but they are not as soft as GM in terms of layoffs, and some of their employees have been laid off some time ago and a number of factories in the United States have been closed.

And these three companies, because of their poor performance in the market, are now starting to play the idea of their own employees, after all, these three factories combined, but have no less than 500,000 employees, so the employee discount plan, began to be promoted among their employees, and the cars that could not be sold had to be planned to let their employees take over and sell, and since then they have all begun to live a life of eating and making money.

On the contrary, the Japanese car dealers in the United States have been winning successively, Toyota's Camry and Corolla, Honda's Accord and Civic, plus Nissan's Teana, these five models, without exception, have become the most popular models in the American market this year.

The European and American versions of Japanese cars designed by Europeans and Americans have a wide body, an economical and fuel-efficient power system, and perfect interior workmanship, all kinds of advantages add up to make these Japanese cars form an irreversible advantage over American cars.

On the other hand, because the Americans did not pay attention to hybrid vehicles before, the Japanese increased investment in this field, and now there is a sharp contrast in the automobile market.

Toyota's Prius is currently selling well in the United States.

On the one hand, the three major automobile companies in the United States continue to close factories, and the car manufacturers continue to lose their jobs, while on the other hand, there are constantly consumers pouring into Toyota's sales centers, paying money and placing orders, but they have to endure price increases and wait for months to get a new car.

The best-selling Prius has explained a lot of problems, and this hybrid model has been accepted by many consumers more and more in the United States.

On the contrary, the three major car manufacturers in the United States are running counter to the concept of energy conservation and environmental protection, and they are developing more large-displacement pickup trucks and large SUVs to cater to the preferences of the American people, but they have completely ignored the fact that the current international oil price has exceeded 70 US dollars a barrel......

It is this mistake in the judgment of future development that will cause American car companies, although they now seem to be very beautiful in data, but they can not withstand the wind and waves at all, and when an economic crisis hit in 2008, their brothers were immediately all overturned to the ground.

Because they had already made mistakes in the initial concept of the development of the new car, but later on, although they had seen the success of the Japanese car, the inherent arrogance of the Americans made them completely selectively ignore the success of the Japanese, and instead more stubbornly insisted on sticking to their own path, and the result was of course conceivable.

After the financial crisis in 2008, GM and Chrysler collapsed, leaving only a mess all over the ground......

However, of course, Jin Xiaoqiang will not tell the Americans about these things, because he knows that even if he says them, he will definitely not attract the attention of others, and he may even cause displeasure to the Americans because of his disrespectful words.

So why bother? Let them toss it themselves!

Now the U.S. auto industry is a donkey dung egg, with a light surface, but in fact, it is a mess inside.

But despite this, if Huayang Power is compared with the three American giants, it is still disproportionate at all, so Fan doesn't bother to provoke a few of them.

In recent years, the Detroit Auto Show has become a pure face car show, and this auto show is completely prepared to cater to the preferences of Americans. …,

Every Detroit Auto Show is full of muscle cars, and modified cars, whether they are large-displacement pickups and SUVs, or luxury cars and supercars.

As for models that are really suitable for civilian use, they are basically rarely released here.

The muscle cars, and the tuned cars, have completely changed the flavor of the auto show, and it has become a place for American fans to show off their creativity and hormones.

Fortunately, this time Huayang Power does not plan to launch too many new models at this auto show, this time they plan to introduce the Qoros S6 and Qoros P6 that have been unveiled at the Paris Motor Show not long ago.

I believe that such a large SUV and such a large pickup truck should be very appetizing to the American people, and it can be regarded as satisfying the self-esteem of the American people.

As for the K series, which was originally eye-catching at other auto shows, it is estimated that it should not be too eye-catching at this North American auto show.

Not long ago, an automobile magazine in the United States also announced ten cars worth looking forward to at this year's Detroit Auto Show, the first is Ashton Martin's V8Vantage, and then the second is Audi S8, the third is BMW M6, the fourth Bugatti Veyron, the fifth Cadillac XLR-V, the sixth Ford GTX-1, the seventh Jaguar XKR, the eighth Maybach 57S, the ninth new Mercedes-Benz S-class, and the tenth belongs to the Porsche 911 Turbo-GT2.

None of these models are priced below 100,000 yuan, and once it can be seen that the current Detroit Auto Show has become what kind of auto show?

It is not so much that he is an auto show, but that it is a luxury car expo, for ordinary people, such an auto show, it really does not make much sense, because this auto show is full of luxury high-end cars that ordinary people can not afford, everyone look at it, YY can do it, but when it comes to really buying a back, then I am afraid that there may be no other way except to rob the bank.

However, this can also be said to be an advantage that can be used for Huayang Power and Jin Xiaoqiang, after all, in the auto show full of luxury cars, such a company that buys family cars suddenly appeared, maybe it is a good place for those visitors......
