Chapter 761: Auto Show (1)

There are four famous car brands in South Korea, which are Hyundai, Kia, Ssangyong, and Daewoo. The poor management of Daewoo, as well as various scandals within the company, led to insolvency, bankruptcy and abandonment by the Korean government, and finally it was acquired by General Motors and renamed General Daewoo. Almost after Daewoo was acquired by General Motors, the South Korean people have excluded Daewoo Motors from the ranks of domestic cars, and even though the company's production plant is still in South Korea, it is no longer popular with the public.

Kia Motors' situation is much better than Daewoo's, and the Asian financial crisis in '97 triggered a financial crisis in South Korea, which made Kia's investment insolvent, and Kia Motors entered a state of liquidation, and after being on the verge of bankruptcy, the South Korean government stepped forward and instructed Hyundai to acquire Kia. Kia Motors signed a share transfer agreement with Hyundai Corporation, Korea's largest automobile ---company, and in 2000, Hyundai-Kia Motors Group was established together with Hyundai Motor Company.

A few years ago, China's SAIC Motor Group began to acquire shares in Ssangyong Motors, and the company has officially become the owner of Ssangyong Motors. At the same time, it paid a debt of 590 billion won to the debt group of South Korea's Ssangyong Automobile Co., Ltd., completed the equity delivery procedures, and obtained 48.92% of the shares of Ssangyong Motor, totaling 59094188 shares, officially becoming the largest shareholder of South Korea's Ssangyong Automobile.

In Equus, a well-known luxury car brand in South Korea, --- the word "Equus" is derived from Latin, which means "Triumphant General's Mount", "Heavenly Horse", and is also a compound of five English words: Excellent/Quality/Unique/Universal/Supreme. It is not difficult to see that the Korean people expect this luxury car, and the unique "Tianma" logo has also become the exclusive logo of Yakos, representing the highest level of the Korean automobile industry.

So in terms of production concept, the Equus has been characterized as a premium model for rear-seat buyers. Most of the owners are government officials or business CEOs. In overseas areas, it is almost exclusively reserved for high-ranking officials such as ambassadors of South Korea's overseas units. In foreign countries, there are very few people who know Equus, because in overseas markets Equus is called Centennial.

Because of these reasons, the user base of the Equus is very narrow, and the most recognized and purest domestic car in South Korea is left --- Hyundai Motor. Even if Kia Motors received huge funds and rapid development after Hyundai settled in, it can only be regarded as part of the huge interests of Hyundai Group.

In order to catch up with the great changes in the automotive industry in the 21st century, and in order to cater to the general trend of Hyundai Group to the world, after determining the business objectives, Hyundai Group has carried out humanized innovation, focusing on expanding the core R&D base in the local area, absorbing and digesting the core technology of European, American and Japanese car series, and making up for its own shortcomings. Through a global R&D network in the U.S., Europe, Japan, and India, Hyundai Motor is focusing on the development of key technologies and vehicles suitable for regional markets. Hyundai Motor was named the "Fastest Rising Manufacturer in '09" in this year's satisfaction awards survey conducted by AutoPacific, a leading U.S. automotive industry analysis and research company.

South Korea's car market is actually very small, although the per capita car ownership exceeds China's, but the overall annual sales of automobiles, South Korea's annual car sales are not even as good as China's provinces. Therefore, while promoting the automobile industry, South Korea has also been sparing no effort to promote its own car brand to foreign countries. Every year, new car launches and various auto shows are held in the world to attract local people.

This year, Hyundai Motor will take the lead in holding a large-scale auto show involving the world's leading car companies. Kia Motors, Ssangyong Motors and Equus, as well as Toyota and Mazda from Japan, as well as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Chevrolet, Ford, Chrysler, Cadillac, Dodge and Buick from Europe and the United States were invited to participate in the exhibition. In addition, supercars such as Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti, Aston Martin, Maserati and Lamborghini will also send new or already popular models to the market, hoping to open up the Asian sports car market.

A large shopping mall located on the side of the Han River in Hondong, Tongjak-gu, Seoul, has been temporarily opened into a huge automobile city, with three floors of more than 120,000 square meters, filled with nearly 100 famous cars and luxury cars from all over the world, attracting a large number of citizens from the Seoul area to take advantage of the vacation to come and see what is going on. Even if you don't buy or can't afford it, in the face of these world-famous cars, it is good to be able to enjoy it, and it is like a family coming to the Han River for a pleasant holiday.

Zixi, Yoo-ri, Xiu-young and Hyo-yeon also came to the auto show, they didn't come to perform or attend events, Hyo-yeon, who already had a driver's license, was interested in seeing if he could match his car. As for Yori and Xiuying, it's just to join in the fun. Zixi was naturally pulled by them, and he was also known as the "Flower Messenger".

"OPPA, this is the hybrid model Elantra that Hyundai just developed this year, it looks good and the price is not expensive." Xiao Yuan pointed to a silver-white sedan and said, his eyes were already full of small stars, it seemed that he had taken a fancy to this new model that had just been launched.

Zixi glanced at the price, because there are brand cars from all over the world, so the price is all in US dollars. The Hyundai Elantra LPI that Hyoyeon is interested in has a price tag of 17,800 US dollars, which is about 20 million won when converted into South Korea, which is a low-end standard model and is very suitable for office workers.

"Yes, hybrid is the general trend of future automobile development, this car is not too expensive, and it is a model of Hyundai Group that advertises green energy, which should be very good." Zixi carefully watched the introduction of the car, nodded and said, "If you like it, try it, these cars can be test-driven." ”

"Hmm!" Xiaoyuan took Xiuying with one hand and couldn't help but say, "Accompany me to the test car and let you be my first passenger." ”

"Yikes! Don't pull me, I don't want to be the first to try a product. Xiuying tried hard to break free of Hyoyeon's hand, and shouted to Zixi and Yoo-ri, but unfortunately Zi-hee and Yoo-ri deliberately turned their heads, leaving Su-young with no way to ask for help. Xiaoyuan has also taken the driver's license test for a few months, and no one knows what her driving skills are, let alone try it herself. It is better to "sacrifice" Xiuying alone than to suffer with her.

"Amitabha! Buddha Amitayus! Allah! Oh, God! Our Lady of Maria! I hope to be able to bless Xiuying with a safe journey. Yu Li almost didn't ask for all the gods and Buddhas in the sky, but her face was full of smiles. Hyo-yeon and Su-young left with two big lights, and she could finally be alone with Zi-hee OPPA.

Because of teaching Yuli to practice driving, Zixi and Yuli have been alone for a long time, and the relationship between the two has become much closer. Yoo-ri's personality is originally lively and cheerful, and she likes to trick others as much as Yoon-a, and she is far more open to being with Zi-hee than Taeyeon and Sika. Many times, when Yuli has something unhappy or unsatisfactory, Zixi is the first to know the truth, and the two talk a lot more casually.

"You're weird!" Zixi flicked Yu Li's forehead with a funny bend, this girl likes to play tricks, and she didn't stop for a moment.

Yori stuck out her tongue, grabbed Zixi's arm, pointed to Hyundai's other display models, and said, "OPPA, where can we go to see, it's Hyundai's latest concept model." ”

"O Yuli! Have you any car you like? Zixi pointed to the cars of Kia and Ssangyong nearby and said, "OPPA promised you that if you can get a driver's license, you will be given a car as a birthday gift." With so many of the latest models out there, which one do you prefer? It's also good to give OPPA an indicator. If you don't like the domestic ones, there are imported cars from Europe and the United States, let's go over there and take a look? ”

"Will OPPA really give me a car as a birthday present?" Yuli said as she looked up.

"Of course, when did OPPA lie to you?" Zixi smiled, scratched Yuli's nose with her fingers, and said, "But the delivery of the car is based on being able to get a driver's license before your birthday, and it will not wait for it to expire!" ”

"And you said you didn't lie to me? OPPA concealed that he had been dating Kim Tae-hee's predecessor for seven years, isn't this a deception? Yu Li pouted.

Zixi was speechless, just such a handle was caught by them, and almost all of them became an excuse for him to tease and bury him when he had something to do in his girlhood, "Alas! Why are you still using this to bury OPPA, haven't I already apologized to you? Isn't it enough to ask you to eat several barbecues as compensation? ”

"One infidelity is not tolerated a hundred times!" Yuli shook her head, indicating that she would never forget.

"OPPA deceived you by dating Kim Tae-hee, what about you and Kim Tae-woo? I just finished watching these two episodes of 'Youth Undefeated', you and Kim Tae-woo always made some ambiguous shots during filming, and in Kim Tae-woo's ideal world cup, he was still very firm that you were his ideal type, why didn't you tell me about it? ”

"Oh!" Yu Li glanced at Zixi in surprise, she didn't expect him to talk about the shooting of variety shows, and he was the kind of CP who made up the right thing temporarily for the sake of the effect of the show, and said with a smile: "Does OPPA mind my relationship with Kim Taewoo's OPPA?" OPPA wouldn't be jealous, would it? ”

"Kwon Yoo-ri! What nonsense are you talking about, you are my sister, what kind of jealousy do I eat? Zixi glanced at Yu Li, knocked her forehead, and said, "Haven't you read the messages on your personal webpage?" It says that you and Kim Tae-woo are not compatible at all, from age to appearance. ”

"Hey, hey!" Yu Li smiled slyly, stood on tiptoe to look into Zixi's eyes, and said, "Which messages won't be written by OPPA, right?" ”

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." The corners of Zixi's mouth twitched a few times speechlessly, pretending to be angry and not looking at Yu Li, and walked away alone, and it was indistinguishable from a little girl like Yu Li who deliberately messed around.

"Ha Lu Ha! OPPA is a weak heart. Yu Li smiled happily and jumped up to catch up with Zixi, holding Zixi's arms tightly in her arms with both hands, not minding the rubbing of her full chest when she walked.

"You're getting less and less interested in OPPA now." Zixi stopped and said very seriously: "To be honest with OPPA, Kim Tae-woo has too much care and partiality for you in the show, do you have any feelings about Kim Tae-woo's call?" Or is it just a script written by a writer for the show? As a women's idol group, every word and deed will attract the attention of countless people. Have you forgotten what happened at last year's 'Dream Concert'? These are the consequences of scandals and rumors. OPPA doesn't want your hard-earned work to be ruined by an inconsequential rumor. ”

Yu Li was not annoyed at all by Zixi's serious words, but her heart was as sweet as honey. Because Zixi was nervous about her, cared about her, and worried about her, all this was enough to make her excited and excited for a long, long time. Although Zixi's preference for girlhood is well known, Yuli hopes that she can occupy more places in these preferences.

Yu Li hugged Zixi's arm tighter, leaned her head on Zixi's shoulder, smiled sweetly, and said with a flattering face: "OPPA, don't worry, without OPPA's recognition, I won't like anyone, but OPPA is an exception!" ”
