Chapter 135: Troubles
Lin Qiangsheng soon set up an electronics recycling company, specializing in the recycling of electronic equipment, and the electronic devices purchased from North America were shipped back to China by sea, and then repaired or dismantled and sold to the domestic market to make a lot of money.
The domestic electronic manufacturing technology is backward, and when the teachers and students of the University of Technology wanted to design an automatic welding machine, they had to wait for the superiors to give them a few chips, and they used a few chips tightly, for fear of damaging these extremely expensive treasures!
But these electronic devices are outrageous in Europe and the United States at this time, and some large electronic retail stores have rows of electronic devices and boxes of chip processors. If some researchers in China really saw it, they would have to cry bitterly. In recent years, due to the rapid development of foreign electronic technology, and the fact that there is no restriction on the purchase and sale of electronic products to the public. In this way, a large number of electronic components and waste products have been produced in the society, and a large number of chip processors that are extremely lacking in China are treated as scrap products. He thinks it's better to leave the pollution alone, there are many devices that can continue to be used on these scrapped electronic components, since foreign countries have implemented a technical blockade on China, then such electronic waste is not blocked, like many well-known companies are selling second-hand printer equipment to start, Lin Qiangsheng can also do the same.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, at the beginning of September, Volkswagen has already launched their new Jetta model to the North American and European markets, and the sales table of this sedan in Europe is obviously not as good as that of the American market, and Americans who like wide bodies are more fond of sedans. Volkswagen also knew that the main market for this car was in the United States, so as soon as this model was launched, it participated in many North American exhibitions and media recommendation meetings.
While Volkswagen was busy introducing Jetta to the American people, Volkswagen had already launched Jetta dealerships to the market. Suddenly, a tabloid in Detroit revealed that the design of the Jetta was actually copied from a model in China, and that the model had been on the market in the summer of '77, and that the Chinese company that had launched the model in '78 had stopped producing the model. In other words, two years ago, the Jetta model had been stored in Zài and mass-produced in China, and the Germans completely copied this Chinese car and took it to Europe and the United States as their own family model for sale. Volkswagen shamelessly plagiarized Chinese models. And without the slightest intention of explaining it to the public!
The tabloid also appeared in spy photos of the 77-year-old Chinese car, which really looks exactly the same as the JettaMk1 launched by Volkswagen, except that the German car looks more advanced, but this cannot blind the American people's glasses. Although it is now popular to have square models, and all car manufacturers have such cars, you can't sell it in front of the public like your car without changing it at all, and you have to at least explain it to the public!
With the tabloid report, many big newspapers also began to report on the incident, and the ins and outs were quickly investigated. This car really belongs to a Chinese car!
The Germans were at a loss for words, and a series of changes completely stunned them. How so?! How can we plagiarize! They immediately began to investigate the specific situation of the matter, trying to find out the evidence that they did not plagiarize, but unfortunately they finally found that no matter how they explained it, how they explained that they had registered a patent, but they produced it early, this is the truth! At the beginning of their design, they were already mass-producing this model. No matter how you explain it, the public doesn't believe it!
JettaMk1 is inevitably snubbed by consumers, jokes. There are so many cars on the market, why should I buy a controversial model!
But the Germans were quick to take countermeasures. The counterattack was quickly fulfilled by Lin Qiangsheng, who wanted to use this mysterious rich man to divert the public's appeal.
Tongguò's investigation found that there were too many magical events happening on the designer's body. The American people will certainly be interested.
Soon, Lin Qiangsheng, who was busy with his cheap computer in the United States, also received media attention and quickly became popular among the people. Even his computer company, his Xpress miniskirt, and his current level of assets were suddenly exposed to the public.
This mysterious Chinese turned out to be a 17-year-old billionaire with a total asset of $150 million! And this young rich man. Its wealth has grown extremely rapidly, reaching its current level in less than half a year.
The American people who saw Lin's report were shocked, and some skeptical people called the media to ask about the veracity of Lin's report.
As a result, he investigated Lin Johnson's investment records in the past six months and found John Berg, who operated investment and financial management for him. Although the gentleman refused to be interviewed, the relevant companies affirmed the authenticity of the young rich man, Lin Qiangsheng is indeed a customer of their investment company, and the president of the investment company also enthusiastically played back a free national advertisement for the company, with the help of Lin Qiangsheng's report, the investment company also quickly became popular, and the investment customers suddenly increased a lot after its report!
This teenager, who is just 17 years old, is already a billionaire, especially since his wealth has been accumulated in less than a year! It is a typical example of getting rich suddenly, completing the accumulation of wealth overnight, entering the super-rich class, and completing the American dream, than Jobs, Bill Gates or something. It's too much!
This is what many young Americans dream of, they are relying on such living examples to move forward and struggle, Lin Johnson quickly became the idol of young Americans in the new era!
After all, Jobs and Bill Gates have grown up, they are no longer young people, and young people in the United States need new youth role models.
The Americans' curiosity is peculiar, seeing the history of Lin Johnson's sudden wealth, they are shocked and curious about how quickly he made wealth, and what Volkswagen copied the models he designed This little thing was quickly put aside. How did he come to the West, and how did he get his money, please! That's not happening in the United States, you should go to the French to find out!
Leon and Blakely smiled wryly at this, underestimating the tolerance of the Americans, and overestimating the disgust of the American people towards the plagiarism itself.
In fact, the public is currently in the world, and there is no wealth and wealth in the future. Compared with GM Ford Chrysley in the United States, Volkswagen is just a small company that has just started, except for the Golf that Americans don't like very much, probably because they still think they are still the same Beetle image as before.
In response to this situation, Blakely and Lyon immediately shifted their positions and put the main public opinion war in Europe, since the Americans are not interested in the public, then the European nest will probably pay more attention to the plagiarism of the public.
In fact, the public opinion offensive against the public in Europe has long begun, what Volkswagen actually copied, and even copied the models of the Chinese, what backward China is also worthy of the technologically advanced Germans to peep. The media also speculated that Volkswagen may have paid attention to the car during negotiations with China, when they just wanted to build a sedan, so they took it.
This kind of irresponsibility is even more unforgivable against buyers who love Volkswagen, and the French and Italian media, with the support of their own car giants, immediately began to criticize Volkswagen, and even the British media, which has always been relatively arrogant, published articles criticizing the plagiarism of the Germans at this time. Gradually, the public began to have opinions about the public, and accused the public of irresponsible behavior towards buyers.
Although there are some reports on Lin Qiangsheng, the designer, the focus is obviously on whether the public plagiarizes and the plagiarism incident itself. Even later, he began to focus on himself.
Lin Qiangsheng has no intention of having a war of words with the media, and he does not accept any media interviews, and he is not suitable to return to China in this situation. So at the villa in Queens, while debugging Cadillac's EFI parameters, waiting for the media to cool down.
After nearly two months of hard work, Li Jing and Wang Huichang have figured out the number of EFI systems, in fact, Lin Qiangsheng has provided an approximate range of these things, as long as they find the correct value.
The two made a copy of an EFI system and installed it in a car, and Lin Qiangsheng was testing the number of the impostor.
Blakeley and Lyon never contacted Lin Johnson again, I don't know if they were afraid that the outside world would suspect that this matter was related to Peugeot or what. Lin Qiangsheng knew that the outside world already knew most of his situation, but fortunately, there was nothing to hide from what he did abroad, and he didn't break any law. His first pot of gold was a loan from the French, but the loan was issued by an American bank in France. Lin Qiangsheng has already understood that this loan is a mortgage made from his factory land in Scotland, and there is no problem.
Even if the media has almost dug up its own family history, it will not affect Lin Qiangsheng's companies to continue to operate.
He drives to Newark a few times a week to check on the finances of the short skirt company, which is now selling very well in the southern United States.
Lin Qiangsheng increased the order, to arm each girl with a large number of cheap miniskirts, the cheap price, as long as a dozen dollars, often the girls will buy more than one pile at a time.
Lin Qiangsheng really realized that there is no bottom line for girls to spend on beauty! (To be continued......)
