Chapter 1768: The War of Iron Ore

Although he was polite when he met, the moment he entered the communication session, Wai Fukui was not so polite...... As the president of Honda, he also seems to have the qualifications to be unkind.

"Mr. Lin, to tell you the truth, our Honda cars and the products of some of our Honda joint ventures in your country have encountered some abnormal resistance when they are sold in your country, and as far as I know, these resistance seems to come from your company." stared at Lin Hongfei deadly, Fukui Waifu was not polite at all.

"President Fukui, that's all you say, right? Honda cars are not selling well in our country, shouldn't President Fukui find the reason for it from himself? As far as I know, your enterprises have always had the tradition of 'first-class products for their own use, second-rate products exported to Europe and the United States, and third-rate products exported to Asian countries'," Lin Hongfei naturally denied Fukui Wai's accusation, and forgot to disgust Fukui Wai by the way.

"Please forgive me......" Hearing Lin Hongfei's words, Fukui Waifu suddenly couldn't sit still, Lin Hongfei was right, of course what the Japanese industry has been following is the tradition that "first-class products are used for their own use, second-rate products are exported to Europe and the United States, and third-rate products are exported to Asia", but you can do this kind of thing, but you can never say it, saying it is discrimination against consumers in other countries: what do you Japanese mean?

It's just that before Fukui Waifu's words came out, Lin Hongfei interrupted him, "President Fukui, please listen to me, is what I said really true, the same product, whether the Japanese version and the Asian export version are of the same quality, this is actually easy for us to verify...... I know what President Fukui wants to say, but if we take Honda's Accord sedan as an example, Honda has not come up with a solution to the problem of broken shafts that has existed since the seventh generation, right? ”

"But is this really that difficult to solve? I don't think so, for what in Europe and the United States Honda not only apologized to consumers. The recall of the car not only replaced the newly designed half-shaft for consumers free of charge, but also compensated consumers, which became an accident in our China? That's how Honda does business? ”

Fukui Waifu suddenly blushed and defended, "Your country does not have a car recall system......

As Lin Hongfei said, the solution to the Accord short axle Honda has long taken it out, as long as the half axle is redesigned. It has even solved this problem for consumers in the American market and the European market, but Honda has chosen to turn a blind eye to those broken axle Accord sedans produced in Guangben, the Republic, and for those broken axle cars, they have all quibbled that it is the reason why the consumers themselves did not drive well. It has even threatened some consumers, saying that it reserves the right to pursue those consumers who come to seek justice to slander Honda's reputation.

But these are the words that he Fukui Wai can say to those ordinary consumers. Can be said to certain official bodies. The only thing that can't be said to Lin Hongfei is that everyone is in the industry in the automobile industry, who doesn't know what the situation is?

"Yes, it's true that our country doesn't have a car recall system, but without this system, can you turn a blind eye to your own mistakes?" Lin Hongfei looked sarcastic and disdainful, "It's the same that there is no recall system." But when we have a problem with the car of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., we will start the recall system, and we have never avoided our responsibility, from the establishment of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to the present. Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has launched three recall systems, in my opinion, this is what a responsible company should do, without this system can turn a blind eye to their own mistakes? Hehe...... President Fukui, is this how Honda operates? ”

The green anger on Fukui Waifu's face flashed, but when he thought that he had come to Lin Hongfei to discuss whether it was possible for everyone to sit together and divide the market, instead of fighting with Lin Hongfei, he endured it: As long as he could persuade Lin Hongfei not to stumble on Honda, what if he was a little angry?

"Of course, Honda takes the interests of consumers as the criterion, and if Mr. Lin suggests that Honda recall its cars sold in mainland China, Honda will not refuse." Fukui Waifu looked at Lin Hongfei with blazing eyes, and said meaningfully.

"I suggest?" Lin Hongfei shook his head amusedly, "What do I want to suggest to you?" It's your own business. ”

Damn, it's like a damn loach that doesn't leave a hand! Fukui Waifu cursed Lin Hongfei in his heart, but he still had to bow his head, "But, Mr. Lin, what you do is not in accordance with WTO regulations, since your country is already a member of the WTO, you can't ......."

"What regulations has the Chinese government issued to prohibit the sale of Japanese cars in our country?" Without waiting for Waifu Fukui to finish speaking, Lin Hongfei looked at Waifu Fukui with a smile, "As for Honda's cars, they don't sell well in our country...... Damn it! Who said that you Japanese cars must be sold in our country? Is there anything incomprehensible that you did not take into account the habits of consumers in our country when designing cars, and naturally they did not sell well? ”

After speaking, Lin Hongfei shrugged his shoulders and shook his head again, looking like he couldn't understand the Japanese way of thinking.

Fukui Waifu was swollen by Lin Hongfei's lazy teeth, Honda Corporation's cars produced in Japan, Honda Corporation's joint venture with the Republic of China's Hiromoto production of cars, why can't they be sold in the Republic, how can Fukui Swift not know the reason? Of course, Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. established its position and influence in the automobile market of the Republic early, but if Lin Hongfei, a bastard, did not make trouble, he would not even believe it...... If there is no sufficient evidence, I will come to you?

But it's a pity that Fukui Wai Fukui's so-called sufficient evidence really can't be put on the table, he took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart, Fukui Wai shook his head, "Mr. Lin, Honda Motor is very aware of your company's influence in your country, you are right, your country has not issued any documents, but we are all inheritors of oriental culture, and we know very well that under the bureaucratic system formed under the influence of traditional Confucian culture, in many cases, the effect of not issuing documents is much greater than the influence caused by the issuance of documents, Tell me straight, what do you want? ”

Is this a preparation for a showdown? But this is a good thing, everyone in the mall knows that whoever asks for stud first is basically the most uncontrollable, which is not a bad thing.

"I heard that Mitsui and Nippon Steel are preparing to raise steel prices by 30% per year?" Now that Fukui Waifu is ready for a showdown, Lin Hongfei is no longer polite, and looks at Fukui Waifu with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Lin Hongfei's mind turned out to be this, and Fukui Waifu's face changed, "Mitsui and Nippon Steel are preparing to raise steel prices, what does this have to do with you?" ”

"Of course the relationship is big," although Waifu Fukui is pretending to be stupid, but it doesn't matter, Lin Hongfei doesn't mind, just pretend to be stupid, at least it is best to become a fool directly, "This means that the price of imported iron ore from my steel mill will increase by at least 17.5% next year." ”

Since Lin Hongfei has said it to this point, this stupid Fukui Weifu can't pretend to be innocent, so he has to pretend to be innocent, "This is the normal decline and rise of international iron ore prices, your country's demand for iron ore has increased repeatedly, and the international iron ore price has risen, which is a very normal market fluctuation reaction, right?" But I don't understand, what does this have to do with your embarrassment Honda Corporation? ”

"Two points, first of all, I didn't embarrass Honda; Secondly, Honda is a major customer of Nippon Steel and Mitsui; Third, although it seems that the price of Mitsui and Nippon Steel Latte has increased by 17.5% compared with before, most of their iron ore comes from Vale, Brazil, and as shareholders of Vale, they enjoy not only the shareholder price, but also some other preferential treatment......" Looking at Waio Fukui, the smile on Lin Hongfei's face became more and more hateful, "This means that Honda, including the Japanese automobile industry, your raw material costs have not actually risen." ”

"Your raw material costs haven't gone up, but with the help of your partners, our costs have risen, and since you've made a move, it's reasonable for us to respond, right?"

Fukui Wai was dumbfounded, and seemed to be shocked by Lin Hongfei's nonsense, but in fact, Fukui Wai had already set off a storm in Fukui Waifu's heart: No wonder!

The boycott of Japanese automobiles planned by the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is not a boycott of Japanese automobiles at all, but a declaration of war against Mitsui and Nippon Steel, who are vainly trying to manipulate international iron ore prices and shear sheep from the Republic: Since you have made a move, then don't blame me for making a move.

It may seem like that's why, but is that really the case? Fukui Wai was very unsure, he always felt that Lin Hongfei still had something to say, under the premise of uncertainty, Fukui Wai decided to play stupid first, "Mr. Lin, I am sorry for the difficulties encountered by your company, but this is market competition, but I must remind you that you have violated the basic principle of free competition by doing so, if your company does not take measures to correct its mistakes, Honda Motor will consider submitting to the cabinet to take counter-sanctions against your company." ”

Although I'm not sure if I can scare Lin Hongfei by doing this, I won't lose a piece of meat if I try it, right? But what Fukui Waifu didn't expect was that hearing what he said, Lin Hongfei laughed......

"Since President Fukui said so, then I don't think we have anything else to talk about." As he spoke, Lin Hongfei picked up the teacup and took a sip with taste.
